Chapter 101 Hope It's Not Too Late
"This...this is really what Miss Yun Yao said?" Yun Zhengfeng asked in a trembling voice.
Luo Hong nodded and patted Yun Zhengfeng's arm.
"Brother Yun, I have no reason to lie to you. I have a special way of communicating with my ancestor, and she asked me to pass this on to you!" Luo Hong said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
That's not actually the case. They didn't have any special means of transportation. On the night their ancestor was arrested and taken to the police station, Yun Yao's voice rang out in his room, almost scaring him out of his wits!
Looking at Luo Hong's serious expression, Yun Zhengfeng finally believed it.
"Then... are we really not going to do anything? The trial is about to begin, but we haven't found any evidence to overturn Miss Yun Yao's case!" Yun Zhengfeng shook his head, his eyes full of self-reproach.
This was exactly what Luo Hong was worried about. Yun Yao only told him to appease Yun Zhengfeng's emotions, but did not say how to overturn the case and regain his innocence.
Given our ancestors' disdain for everyone, they probably had no intention of exonerating themselves!
"Well then, Brother Yun, do you know anything about the matter between our ancestor and Su Yuchen, the third son of the Su family?" Luo Hong asked.
"You mean... to have Su Yuchen help Miss Yun Yao?"
"Yes, I'm also unfamiliar with China, so I might as well ask someone who can control everything for me."
Under Luo Hong's gaze, Yun Zhengfeng shook his head.
"Brother, it's probably Su Yuchen's idea that Dai Sheng was able to take on Miss Yun Yao's case, but there has been no progress so far. He must have encountered some difficulties. I think Su Yuchen has done his best."
The two sprightly old men suddenly looked more than ten years older, their eyes, filled with the marks of time, now showing signs of worry.
……
In HM's top-floor office, Qiao Yunan smashed everything he could on the table, while three men in black robes stood before him, their faces obscured by large hoods, behaving strangely.
If you look closely, you can see that they are emanating wisps of black energy, which is extremely sinister and terrifying.
"My lord, why be so aggrieved? Wherever it is an obstacle to you, we will flatten it!" The voice came from beneath the black robe standing to the side.
He bent the pen in Qiao Yunan's hand with one hand, his eyes filled with gloom and ruthlessness.
“Times have changed. If we want to live openly and honestly in this society, we can’t do those things. San-ying, there’s no need to mention these things again.”
"My lord, why did you send that woman Lian Shen to summon me back this time?"
After the man finished speaking, a bloodthirsty smile gradually crept onto Qiao Yunan's lips.
"I heard that Su Yuchen is no longer in the capital. I want you to kill him." Qiao Yunan looked at his fingers, his eyes filled with madness.
Upon hearing that someone was available to kill, the three men in black robes merged into one, their faces gradually revealing a ferocious and terrifying expression. After respectfully accepting the order, they hurriedly departed.
As Qiao Yunan watched the door close, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Su Yuchen, I won't live to see the day you're qualified to be my opponent." Qiao Yunan pulled his hand back, and the glass in his hand instantly turned into a pile of dust. He released his grip and watched the dust fall in front of him.
……
Su Yuchen is indeed not in the capital right now. Two days ago, Chen Dong discovered that Xue Qing had bought a packet of poison from a man on the black market that would kill her if she drank it. By the time Chen Dong and his men arrived, the man had already disappeared. He must have sensed something and that's why he ran away.
But this was, after all, the capital city, Su Yuchen's territory, and they quickly found out where the man's hometown was.
Sensing the turmoil in the capital in recent days and fearing that his actions would be exposed and he would be implicated, the man secretly returned to his hometown overnight.
It took Su Yuchen a full day and night to drive to the man's hometown.
Now, Su Yuchen is already on his way back to the capital.
In the back seat, a burly man was bound hand and foot.
"Welcome to tonight's City Voice. We have received many messages from netizens. After sorting them out, we found that the most concerning issue for everyone is the follow-up to the murder of Xue Qing, a female student from Imperial University. Our reporter also interviewed the police today and obtained the exact outcome of tomorrow's court hearing. We hope that everyone will remain calm at that time and refrain from doing anything illegal or disorderly."
The mountain road was exceptionally quiet, and the announcer's voice echoed throughout the car. Su Yuchen gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his face grim.
The trial is tomorrow; I hope I make it in time.
"President Su, I really didn't know that Xue Qing was trying to poison your people. It's not surprising that a wealthy family would play around with that kind of thing. I really didn't expect her to be so bold!" The man in the back seat struggled to sit up, his face swollen like a pig's head, and brought it close to Su Yuchen.
Su Yuchen didn't speak. Just as he was about to reach out and turn off the radio, he heard the man's voice sound again.
"Don't shut it off, don't shut it off! President Su, please let me hear what's going on since I'm going to be executed tomorrow. You have no idea how suffocating I feel being in the same room with you. I'm almost suffocating!" the man said ingratiatingly.
Seeing that Su Yuchen had finally stopped, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
I really don't know if Su Yuchen is even human. He drove for almost sixty hours round trip without even closing his eyes once. And now, in the middle of the night, walking on this quiet mountain road without playing any music, he's getting creeped out of his skin!
"Listeners, I have great news for you! Peeler is live again! Don't worry, we'll switch to Peeler's live stream right away."
Seeing the man's excitement in the rearview mirror, Su Yuchen looked away and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the Skinner?"
"President Su, you don't even know who the Skin Peeler is?" The man's eyes widened as if he had heard something unheard of.
Su Yuchen: "..." There's no need to ask again. If he already knew, he wouldn't have asked him.
Seeing that Su Yuchen remained silent, the man began to speak incessantly, like a floodgate opening.
"This Skinner is my idol. Not only is he an expert in five thousand years of Chinese history, but he also has a cheerful personality, a humorous and witty way of speaking, and doesn't care about worldly opinions. He streams only when he feels like it. You don't know, all the archaeological experts once came out to criticize his remarks, but he completely ignored them and continued to do as he pleased." Seeing the man's eyes light up when he talked about the Skinner, Su Yuchen's eyes darkened slightly.
"She's just an internet celebrity who became famous by taking advantage of public opinion. It's really foolish of you to idolize her so much."
The man felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, looking at Su Yuchen's perfect profile but unable to vent his anger.
How dare he slander his idol? If I weren't weaker than him, I would definitely teach him a lesson!
"No, that's not true. In the end, the renowned archaeologist Qin Zheng issued a statement saying that all of Peeler's statements were correct, and even the Chinese Historical Society came out to certify it." Hmph! He wanted to see what Su Yuchen could say next!
Su Yuchen didn't say anything, but when the man mentioned the word "archaeology," he thought of the woman who was always carefree but still managed to get the top score in the country.
