Chapter 262: Su Lin’s Plans, Bai Qikun’s Tests!
Watching He Suxin standing above, Ma Junjie felt a soul-deep terror for the first time, the awful sensation of not being in control of his own life and death.
But he was powerless, Ma Zhong, despite being a peak Grandmaster, was utterly insignificant in front of He Suxin. His current paralysis and the fear in his eyes said it all.
Ma Junjie didn’t want to die; he hadn’t enjoyed life enough yet. Thus, he was the first to break, “Senior, I will go with you.”
Seeing how quickly Ma Junjie caved, He Suxin slightly nodded without much expression. If Ma Junjie complied, she wouldn’t resort to violence, but if he tried to escape, he would indeed die.
As for Li Tiancheng and Li Weifeng, she didn’t care at all. He Suxin saw that both were behaving and nodded, “Follow me, lag behind, and you die.”
Both trembled and followed He Suxin as she flew towards the bustling district.
Meanwhile, at the Xiao family, Xiao Feiyu also received the news of Ma Junjie’s escape attempt. Inside the villa, Xiao Feiyu’s face was gloomy as he fiercely smashed the cup in his hand, “A good-for-nothing who only causes problems. What’s the use of running away now?”
Wang Yannian agreed with Xiao Feiyu’s sentiment, nodding, “Indeed, Ma Junjie is more trouble than he’s worth. Are you going to continue your cooperation with him?”
Xiao Feiyu bitterly said, “Continue? How can we continue? No need to guess, Ma Junjie must have fallen into Su Lin’s hands by now. We shouldn’t meddle in his affairs; without absolute strength, we must not mess with Su Lin, or it’s suicide.”
“Old Wang, how are the marriage talks with Liu Shiwen going?”
Wang Yannian saw how quickly Xiao Feiyu was willing to abandon Ma Junjie and responded routinely, knowing Xiao Feiyu well over their long association.
This man wasn’t as brainless as the outside world thought, willing to do anything for Jiang Ruoxi. He’s a thoroughly unprincipled schemer, having learned his lesson after suffering losses to Su Lin.
Ma Junjie was incompetent, and Xiao Feiyu had no choice but to cut him loose, or else he was doomed.
“The Liu family has loosened up, but they still say that Liu Shiwen must agree personally. So, Xiao Yu, you’ll have to personally visit.”
Xiao Feiyu wasn’t surprised by Wang Yannian’s report. If Wang had been able to settle things, they would’ve met the parents by now, not just Liu Bowen and Liu Shiwen.
Thinking of Liu Shiwen’s attitude towards him gave Xiao Feiyu a headache. She wasn’t a fool and could see right through Xiao Feiyu’s intentions to climb socially by dragging her family into his schemes, which she found utterly repulsive.
Xiao Feiyu nodded, “Then I’ll go myself.”
He knew Liu Shiwen’s nature well; a very kind-hearted girl who adored flowers, cats, and dogs. But she also had the pride and haughtiness typical of a family heiress, making her hard to approach.
Nevertheless, for his survival, Xiao Feiyu felt a little scheming was acceptable.
“Old Wang, I’m going to the pet market.”
“The pet market? What for?” Wang Yannian asked curiously.
Xiao Feiyu smiled, “Of course, to woo my future wife.”
Wang Yannian looked at Xiao Feiyu, somewhat surprised by his lack of principles, and decided to get the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill recipe from him as soon as possible and then make his escape.
“Alright, go ahead. Are we really giving up on Ma Junjie?”
Xiao Feiyu grimly said, “Old Wang, by now Ma Junjie is definitely under Su Lin’s control. Su Lin is prepared, they have several Human Immortals, and if we intervene, it might escalate to a decisive battle, which I’m not confident about.”
Wang Yannian was silent. He was well aware of Su Lin’s strength; Su Lin’s breakthrough into the realm of Human Immortals had exponentially increased his power, turning him into a complete anomaly. If it weren’t for the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill, he really wouldn’t want to oppose Su Lin.
At the pet market, Xiao Feiyu picked up a very docile Chihuahua and a purebred Ragdoll cat, spending tens of thousands on them. Holding the adorable pets, he chuckled softly, “To survive, I indeed can do anything.”
Back at the Bureau 751’s Donghai office, Su Lin and Bai Qikun were chatting in the office.
Bai Qikun looked at Su Lin and said, “To think you’d keep them here, you really came up with that idea?”
Su Lin laughed, “Old Bai, don’t forget what the 751 Bureau is for. You specialize in dealing with cultivators. Now that Ziyu’s father and grandfather have been kidnapped by cultivators, isn’t this something for the 751 Bureau to handle?”
Bai Qikun was taken aback, then realized Su Lin was right, this indeed fell under their jurisdiction.
“It’s actually supposed to be handled by the Yangcheng office, but I’m the director and have the right to intervene.”
Seeing Bai Qikun’s reaction, Su Lin knew he had misconstrued and chuckled, “Old Bai, you don’t think I’m planning to go to war with Ma Junjie, do you?”
Bai Qikun sighed, “I just thought with your personality you wouldn’t let the officials get involved. Now you want me to step in and pressure Yangcheng to release them.”
Having already allied with Su Lin, Bai Qikun subconsciously thought Su Lin would handle it himself. After hearing Su Lin, he was surprised to realize that delegating this to the 751 Bureau was the most appropriate.
Su Lin nodded, “Old Bai, I don’t want to start a war with the Ma family yet. They might be a commercial family, but they are rich, and if they decided to hire bounty hunters, would I ever get any rest? So after much consideration, you handling this is most appropriate.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it. Where are Ma Junjie and the others now?”
Su Lin smiled, “Aunt Su should be bringing them here by now.”
Bai Qikun sighed lightly, “I know He Suxin somewhat; I am quite surprised she managed a breakthrough at this time.” He then looked at Su Lin, “Su Lin, tell me honestly, do you have a way to make a Grandmaster breakthrough?”
Facing Bai Qikun’s probing, Su Lin firmly denied, “How could that be possible? If I had such ability, I would mass-produce Human Immortals and then start a massacre.”
Bai Qikun frowned, “A massacre, in a harmonious society.”
“Yes, yes… harmonious, a harmonious society.”
