Chapter 404: What Did You See?

Watching Li Yan, who was carried on Su Yu’s back, Li Yan felt a sense of disappointment, and at the same time, there was some resentment towards Su Yu. She didn’t expect them to come knocking so quickly.

How did Su Yu find them?

“Why did you come here? You’ve started doubting me, so what about Su Long…” Li Yan’s expression changed slightly. Would Su Long also suspect her?

“Some things were told to me by Uncle.”

“Let’s go,” Su Yu said, looking at Li Yan.

Uncle would take care of this person; he didn’t need to worry about it.

But how could Li Yan obediently follow Su Yu back? She knew that after Su Long found out about what she had done, there would be no good outcome.

When Li Yan turned around to run, Su Yu’s secret guards had already blocked her way, leaving her with no chance to escape.

“Take her away.”

Su Yu brought Li Yan back, and when they arrived, Su Long and the others were already there.

Seeing the person Su Yu was carrying on his back, Su Long’s hands trembled slightly. “Xiao Yu…”

“Uncle, this is the real Aunt. She was locked up by Li Yan. This woman is Aunt’s biological twin sister, born from the same mother.” Su Yu explained their relationship.

Su Shan looked at the person Su Yu put down, and that familiar feeling returned.

Back when their mother returned injured, she didn’t like her mother. Later, her mother did some unpleasant things, making that dislike even more apparent.

Now, seeing the person Su Yu brought back, that sense of intimacy instantly returned.

“Dad…”

What is going on? This person is not her mother? Her mother was locked up by this woman?

Thinking about how her mother had been imprisoned for so long, and they knew nothing about it, she felt a sense of self-blame.

She walked over, supporting Li Yan, looking at her weak body with an unusually pale face, feeling extremely uneasy.

“Mom, are you okay? It’s all our fault. If we had found out earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered.”

Li Yan slowly opened her eyes, looking at her daughter. Li Yan, who was told by Li Yan that her daughter liked her a lot, now seemed to be not the case at all.

Su Long walked to Li Yan’s side, lifted his hand to touch her face, but ultimately withdrew it in frustration. “Yan Yan, I’m sorry.”

Li Yan looked at Su Long’s self-blaming expression and smiled, shaking her head. “I always believed that you and our son would come to rescue me.”

Although the one who came was not her son or her husband, it was her nephew whom she had raised since childhood. Moreover, Xiao Yu had said that he had already started suspecting Li Yan, which was enough for her.

“Yan Yan.” Su Long reached out and hugged Li Yan, feeling extremely fortunate to have found his beloved again.

“Xiao Yu, I’ll leave this person to you. If there’s any information, just tell me directly. She should know some of the information we want.” Right now, he just wanted to take Li Yan home. As for dealing with Li Yan, Xiao Yu was more suitable for the job.

“Xiao Yu, let Wan Gu go with me. Let him check on Uncle’s wife.”

“All right.”

After seeing them off, Su Yu turned to Li Yan. “Tell me, who helped you capture Li Yan and imprison her?”

Li Yan, no longer as fearful, looked at Su Yu and said, “Why should I tell you?”

She had thought that after spending several years together, Su Long would at least have some feelings for her. However, today she realized that she was too naive.

All of them were of the same kind, and now they even wanted her to tattle? They could forget about getting any information from her.

Seeing Li Yan’s stubbornness, Su Yu chuckled softly, “Take her down and we’ll talk when Wan Gu comes back.”

There was no need to discuss such simple matters now. They could ask whatever questions they had when Wan Gu returned, as they would have all the information.

Wan Gu returned in the evening, and after his return, Su Yu had someone bring Li Yan over. “Wan Gu, she doesn’t want to talk.”

“Leave it to me.”

Once Wan Gu made a move, Li Yan was in unbearable pain, begging to be spared.

“I’ll tell you everything you want to know,” Li Yan couldn’t endure the pain any longer. It was truly too agonizing.

Su Yu watched as Wan Gu nodded to him and helped Li Yan alleviate her pain.

“Yes…”

As Li Yan was about to speak, a dart pierced into the back of her head.

Her eyes widened suddenly as she turned to look behind her. The act she had committed had led to such a fate in the end.

Su Yu looked at the lifeless Li Yan with a burning anger in his eyes.

He despised the feeling of having the door closed just as he was about to step through.

“Chase.”

Yuan Xu led the pursuit, and it took about half an hour before they returned.

“Young Master, we lost track of the person. But judging from the figure, it doesn’t seem to be someone from Xuan Empire.” Moreover, the person had exceptional skills.

For the sake of killing a woman, the other party didn’t hesitate to expose themselves to silence her.

“It seems to be someone from another Empire,” Yuan Bao said with a frown.

Wan Gu looked at Su Yu. Seeing his displeased expression but his silence, Wan Gu hesitated and asked, “Young Master, do you think it could be someone sent by  Qi Ming?”

As he said this, Wan Gu was somewhat cautious, fearing that he might displease Su Yu.

“You don’t need to be so cautious with me. Your cautiousness makes me very uncomfortable.” Su Yu said unkindly.

He had long known what kind of person Qi Ming was. How could he possibly be involved in this?

Wan Gu looked at Su Yu somewhat embarrassedly. “I… I was just worried about you.”

Su Yu looked at Wan Gu’s appearance and shook his head with a wry smile. “I’m fine, but it’s indeed quite likely to be Qi Ming.”

Lowering his head to look at Li Yan on the ground, it seemed that she indeed knew a lot.

“Young Master, have you considered that the reason for silencing Li Yan might not be because she knew too much, but because she saw the face of the person? Since the other party wants to maintain their mystery, they surely wouldn’t easily reveal themselves. If Li Yan was silenced because she saw the other person, it would make sense.”

“Well, that makes sense. Yuan Bao, continue the investigation. Also, make sure to give Qi Ming a proper greeting over there. If he dares to cause trouble, don’t blame me for returning the favor directly.”

“Yes.”

Su Yu was not pleased with the sudden interference. With a suppressed anger, even the people around him acted cautiously, fearing that they might provoke Su Yu and become the target of his vented frustration.

“Bury the body.” It seemed that the situation in the capital was not as stable as it seemed. They would clean up the covert operatives from other countries after receiving the actual intelligence.

“After Yuan Bao handles it, prepare for our return.” The leads regarding Li Yan had run dry, and there was no need for them to linger in the capital.

The affairs with the Gu family, Yu family, and Qi Ming in the distant Qi Empire would be settled one by one in the future.

Also, there was the matter of Qing Yukong and his family. Regarding the nonsense he had spouted to Xiao He earlier, Su Yu hadn’t dealt with him yet.
