Chapter 215: Neither One Could Be Spared

“Thank you.” Yu Shijin put his arm around her as he leaned against her in an exhausted manner.
He shut his eyes.
Su Huiqing pushed his shoulder but was unable to budge him. Looking at his fatigued expression, she pursed her lips and decided to look the other way and let him be.
As a result, she didn’t notice the mirth in his eyes the moment she turned her head.
“Ms Su, it’s good that you are back.” The servant who had been against Dugu Wu right from the start immediately rushed over with a cup of tea for Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing took out her cell phone and glanced at the maid. She narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean?”
“If you hadn’t returned, we would have been bullied terribly by these horrible people!” The maid spoke vehemently as she thought of Dugu Wu.
Su Huiqing was speechless. When did she suddenly become so important here?
“Chief detective.” Yu Shijin suddenly glanced up.
Chief detective straightened his spine. “Boss.”
“Burn this whole house.” Yu Shijin’s voice was mild but his expression was unbelievably cold. “In addition, help me contact the head of the Dugu Family. As soon as possible.”
Chief detective glanced at Yu Shijin and was taken aback by the look in his eyes.
He silently retreated, not bothering to try and persuade him.
He knew that Master Yu would not compromise on this matter.
Su Huiqing didn’t care about what those two were conversing about.
She opened her cell phone and instantly found Dugu Yusheng’s name.
She could not tolerate this matter regarding Dugu Wu. There was the incident with Su Ruohua earlier, and now Yu Shijin was also implicated. She knew very well what was Dugu Wu’s role in this matter.
Su Huiqing had a very unique trait. She was very protective of her own loved ones.
There was no way she would let things go just like that.
She opened a chat box and messaged: Get me all the information you can find on Dugu Wu. Mid-grade potion.
She was using her personal WeChat account.
Unexpectedly, Dugu Yusheng replied very quickly: Dugu Wu? She is stupid to have provoked you.
Su Huiqing raised her brows. Not wishing to waste time chatting with him, she stated simply: I will have Apollo bring it to you tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the Dugu Family matriarch had arrived at the Yu Family after being notified of what had happened. She immediately noticed the pitiful-looking Dugu Wu and Ning Baokun. Her expression darkened. “What the hell happened?”
She thought that with Yu Shijin’s return, all she had to do was to just sit and wait for the good news.
“Grandma.” Dugu Wu threw herself into the Dugu Family matriarch’s arms. “Master Yu has chased me out because of Ms Su. He also said… he would never let me off.”
“Ms Su?” The Dugu Family matriarch had a natural aversion to that surname.
“The daughter of that Su Ruohua.” Dugu Wu whispered.
“Su Ruohua? That woman again?” The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes turned malevolent. “Do you know that Little Heng called me today, and said that he is going to bring that Su Ruohua home very soon?!”
“Sir… sir…” Dugu Wu was totally dumbstruck.
“I really don’t know what he did outside the past two days. How did he suddenly decide to marry that lousy, used woman.” The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes darkened. “These two Su Family people are truly capable. The daughter is snatching away your fiance while the mother is seducing my son. In that case, I can only…”
Her eyes hardened.
Dugu Wu took a step back. She knew her grandmother intended to kill the mother-daughter duo. “No Grandma, you forgot those men she brought over to the restaurant that day. Even the head of our family is afraid of her. She will definitely…”
The Dugu Family matriarch smiled nonchalantly. “What do you know? I have already investigated her background. She is just the illegitimate daughter of a useless father. An insignificant merchant from an insignificant country. If not for Yu Shijin helping her, there’s no way she would be so formidable. Those men must have been Yu Shijin’s. On the other hand, Yu Shijin has truly done a lot for her…”
Dugu Wu was stunned. She felt that the Dugu Family matriarch had analyzed the situation very accurately.
How could Dugu Heng possibly fear such a small merchant from Country Hua?
“Grandma, but it’s the lives of two people after all. We need to think long-term.” Dugu Wu’s eyes flashed. “We cannot let the Yu Family have anything to hold against us. Otherwise, we will be doomed.”
The Dugu Family matriarch looked conflicted for a moment. She thought about how she would really lose all status if Su Ruohua entered the Dugu Family.
Now her only way out of that situation had also been blocked by Su Ruohua’s daughter.
She snorted as she recalled a piece of information she had someone dig out for her. “Don’t worry, there are several people in the International Association who want her head. At the very least, according to what I know, the Ye Family is one of them.”
The Su Family mother-daughter duo. Neither one could be spared!

As his house had been burned down by his own command, Yu Shijin followed Su Huiqing back to her home.
“I remember that you have another property beside Monster University.” Su Huiqing opened the door, all the way massaging her own temples.
Yu Shijin kept his face impassive. He was his usual cool, aloof self. “I sold it off a few days ago. You can check if you want.”
Su Huiqing took a deep breath as she threw her keys onto the table.
She then went into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
The doorbell rang.
“Go get the door.” Su Huiqing finished her water in one gulp. She didn’t even turn her head.
Yu Shijin went to get the door, his manner was as regal as always.
Su Ruohua was outside. Astonished, she stammered. “Mr… Mr. Yu?”
