Chapter 442 - 134 Feuding, Burning Bridges_4
Kang Jinse suddenly sat up straight, "What is it, speak."
Su Ye pursed her lips, "Back then, when your mother passed away, as you were tied up with something and couldn’t leave, you had me go back to our hometown to handle the funeral activities on your behalf. You remember that, right?"
Kang Jinse nodded, "Yes, what about it?"
She had a feeling that what Su Ye was about to say next might be a huge secret, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
Su Ye seemed to find it difficult to begin, hesitated for a long while, and then said, "I accidentally discovered Miss Jinxian...."
——
Kang Jinse left the café with a triumphant smile playing around her lips.
Kang Jinxian, dare to deceive me, harm my child, you better prepare for the consequences.
I will make sure that you wish you were dead.
You just wait.
Su Ye leaned back languidly in her chair, watching Kang Jinse’s receding figure, and took out her phone to send a text message.
She massaged her temples and zoned out for a while, then she dialed a number well-known to her heart.
The call connected after several rings; the person on the other end seemed very busy, his voice sounded as if it was coming from far away.
"Hello, this is Gu Cheng. May I ask who’s speaking?"
She gazed out of the window at the bright sunshine and squinted instinctively, ripples of light dancing in the depths of her eyes.
"Ah Cheng, it’s me."
——
The car slowly stopped in front of the restaurant, and Yun Shu got out. The waiter greeted her respectfully.
Yun Shu gave the room number, and the waiter led her toward the private boxes on the second floor.
At the entrance stood a tall man who gave a gentle smile upon seeing Yun Shu approach, "Lady Yun, the gentleman has been waiting for you for some time, please."
With that, he opened the door of the private box.
Inside sat a man.
He exuded a cold and aloof chill, like a bright but distant moonlight.
Hearing footsteps, the man raised an eyebrow.
"Mr. Pei," Yun Shu smiled, "I’ve long admired your reputation and never expected you to be so young in person."
The man, with a clear and chilly expression, gestured towards the seat opposite him, "Lady Yun, please sit down."
Yun Shu didn’t stand on ceremony and took a seat.
"Mr. Pei, I’ll cut to the chase," Yun Shu said, noticing that the man remained cool and detached—an observation she privately commended.
She took out a photo from her bag and slid it across to him.
"I need someone brought back from abroad."
Pei Qinghan’s gaze fell on the photo, which showed a handsome young man taken from an angle that suggested a candid shot; while the pixels were somewhat blurred, the young man’s innocent and sincere smile was very clear.
Yun Shu handed him another file folder, "This is the property deed for a plot of land in the Eastern Suburbs. I hear you wish to develop the Eastern area into a commercial zone. Everything is ready, but alas, a hitch has arisen, leaving the capital in limbo—each day’s delay burns money. Today, I’ve solved this problem for you."
Pei Qinghan’s gaze lingered on the file, a hint of movement in his eyes.
"All you have to do is find this person and safely bring him to me, and this land is yours as a reward. It’s a profitable deal, Mr. Pei. What do you say?"
"Profitable?" Pei Qinghan’s slender fingers picked up the photo, his thin lips curving into a slight, mocking smile.
"If Lady Yun is willing to trade such valuable real estate, I assume this person won’t be easy to retrieve, right?"
Yun Shu’s expression stiffened.
Detectives abroad had finally located this child only to find out that the local underworld was secretly protecting him. Snatching him away would not be an easy feat; any attempt could be intercepted before even leaving the country, risking alerting the target or worse, casualty of force.
That’s why she had thought of Pei Qinghan, who had considerable influence domestically and would likely have a foothold abroad. To extract someone from the local underworld’s hands would simply require some extra effort.
Yun Shu quickly put on a smile, "Mr. Pei is a smart man. If you feel the price isn’t right, you can ask for more. As long as it’s within my limit, I can satisfy your demands."
"It seems this person is very important to Lady Yun."
A hint of coldness flickered in Yun Shu’s eyes, "Of course."
"Alright, I agree."
Yun Shu smiled, "I want to meet the person within a week, at most."
Pei Qinghan nodded slightly.
Yun Shu left, satisfied.
Fu Bai pushed open the door and entered, "Boss."
Pei Qinghan handed the photo and file to him, "Send the photo to Geln, I want to see the person in no more than three days."
Fu Bai raised his eyebrows in surprise; they were going to use Geln.
What exactly had Yun Shu told him?
He looked at the person in the photo, very young, around fifteen or sixteen, handsome, naive, clean...
