Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love

Chapter 413 - 363: Evacuate Immediately! (Second Release)

Mi Chenshuo stepped out and saw Tong Airui standing at the study door waiting for him. He quickly walked over. "Did you find the killer?""There’s a lead. Come take a look. Do you know this man?" Tong Airui turned and entered the room, rotated the computer towards Mi Chenshuo, and gestured for him to look.

On the screen was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly overweight and had a black mole the size of a bean between his brows.

After looking at the screen, Mi Chenshuo gently shook his head. "No impression at all. Is he the mastermind behind Su Qing’s murder?"

"All the evidence points to him. This man is the president of the East Asia Chamber of Commerce. I checked the phone records of those two killers — in the past seven days, their calls with him were frequent."

Mi Chenshuo clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead pulsating.

Tong Airui glanced at him, then raised his hand and clicked the mouse. Another photo soon appeared on the screen.

Mi Chenshuo’s eyes instantly widened. "Isn’t this Lan Bo?"

Tong Airui nodded. "Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t use their usual phone number to contact assassins. Yet, strangely, the president of the East Asia Chamber used his own number for those calls. This puzzles me.

It wasn’t until Luo Wa mentioned something that gave me a new perspective. The president’s daughter and Lan Bo are classmates; this girl has been chasing Lan Bo while Lan Bo detests her. Following this lead, I discovered Lan Bo has a friend who’s a computer expert. After infiltrating that man’s computer, I found out they cloned the president’s phone number to contact the killers."

Mi Chenshuo’s body shook slightly. "It’s my fault that Su Qing died and that Joyina was nearly hurt. I want to kill him!"

As he spoke, Mi Chenshuo headed for the door.

Tong Airui grabbed him. "Third Brother, calm down! Don’t you want to find out if there’s someone behind Lan Bo? Also, it would’ve been easier to handle this before, but now Lan Ji is Bert’s girlfriend. We need to give Bert some face in dealing with this."

"What? Bert and Lan Ji are together?" Mi Chenshuo chuckled lightly. "Bert must be blind!"

"Bert has liked Lan Ji for years; this time, Lan Ji initiated it..." Tong Airui paused. "I think after Bert and Lan Ji confirmed their relationship, these events have arisen, which makes me suspect some ulterior motives."

Mi Chenshuo gritted his teeth and said, "If I find out this was Lan Ji’s doing, I’ll make sure she dies a terrible death!"

"I’m telling you this to keep you alert, not to incite you to kill anyone. In Xiawu, killing someone means paying with your life. Leave vengeance to me."

Mi Chenshuo fell silent. As a man, knowing who the enemy is but being unable to avenge them personally felt unbearable!

Right then, Tong Airui’s phone rang.

Tong Airui glanced at the number and answered it.

The caller spoke continuously, making him frown while listening. At last, he responded with a single word: "Alright." Dıscover more novels at novelhall.com

After hanging up, Tong Airui frowned and looked at Mi Chenshuo. "It was Just’s call. He wants you to take Joyina to Beidi at dawn. If you return, his parents will agree to your marriage; if you don’t, they’ll forcibly take Joyina away."

Mi Chenshuo grew furious upon hearing this. "Who do they think they are, throwing threats at me like this? Joyina is a person, not an object they can snatch away!"

Tong Airui gave Mi Chenshuo a deep look. "There are things I’m not certain about yet, so I can’t tell you. But I do agree that you should take Joyina away."

"I’m not leaving!" Joyina burst into the room angrily. "The way they’re talking shows they don’t see Mi Chenshuo as an equal."

Tong Airui sighed. "Joyina, your family is acting for your sake!"

"I understand they mean well, but their methods are unacceptable to me, let alone to Mi Chenshuo."

Tong Airui considered for a moment. "Alright then, let me share what Just just uncovered. Whether you leave or stay will be up to you. Did you know the Duke Lan’s wife is the goddaughter of the late Emperor Haotian?"

Mi Chenshuo nodded slightly.

"Buzz buzz..." Tong Airui’s phone rang again.

Seeing it was Yuan Hang’s number, Tong Airui quickly answered.

"Sir, I couldn’t get through before because your line was busy. I’ve uncovered a new lead..."

After listening to Yuan Hang’s report, Tong Airui’s face turned grim as he walked up to the map.

"This time, the target of the hit wasn’t Su Qing — it was Joyina." Tong Airui said, pointing to the three major regions on the map: Xiawu, Haotian, and Beidi. "Take a look at Haotian’s geographical position."

Mi Chenshuo pursed his lips. "Haotian is tightly encircled by Xiawu and Beidi."

"Exactly. Haotian shares two borders with Xiawu and one with Beidi; their only way out is by sea. If our two nations join forces, their prospects look grim. Handling Haotian’s internal instability, the Emperor began targeting external threats. Your union with Joyina, in the Emperor’s eyes, isn’t merely about two individuals — it’s an alliance between two nations. He has no choice but to prevent it."

Joyina listened quietly. If that’s the case, then wasn’t Su Qing dragged down by her?

"At this moment, the Emperor reached out to the Duke’s wife — his adopted sister. Just already has their call records. Yuan Hang confirmed this incident on his end."

Tears streamed down Joyina’s cheeks. "Mi Chenshuo, I’ll call my father right away. I want him to bring troops to crush Haotian and avenge Su Qing."

Tong Airui spoke gravely. "Su Qing wasn’t originally within the Emperor’s list of targets. It was Lan Ji who wanted Su Qing dead. Earlier, Yuan Hang said that Lan Ji took the initiative to be with Bert, which was actually the Emperor’s idea. He wanted to solidify ties between Haotian and Xiawu through this marriage.

But Lan Ji doesn’t love Bert. She struck a deal with the Emperor instead. If Su Qing and Joyina were eliminated, she would devote herself fully to the Emperor."

"So it’s still my fault Su Qing died." Mi Chenshuo slammed his fist on the table.

Joyina quickly embraced him. "Mi Chenshuo, Su Qing is gone now. At this moment, you absolutely must stay calm!"

Mi Chenshuo held Joyina tightly. "I almost got you killed too..."

Joyina gently stroked his trembling back. "It’s not your fault! The blame lies with Lan Ji. She never really loved you, and the fact that she couldn’t have you made her target me and Su Qing."

"We already know the truth. Fourth Brother, what are you planning?" Mi Chenshuo, eyes bloodshot, looked at Tong Airui. "Can I personally avenge this?"

Tong Airui shook his head. "You’re a businessman. This isn’t a matter for you to handle. We’re brothers — whether I avenge or you avenge, it’s the same."

"The real culprits are the Emperor and Lan Ji. Killing Lan Ji is easy; killing the Emperor will take effort..." Joyina lifted her gaze to Mi Chenshuo. "This revenge isn’t something the two of us can handle. Tomorrow morning, let’s take Mianmian back to Beidi. Let Tong Airui deal with Lan Ji’s family, and my father with the Emperor."

"Beep beep..." The computer sounded a notification.

Tong Airui opened the folder, and his brows furrowed deeper as he read.

"What’s wrong?" Mi Chenshuo asked, watching him intently.

Tong Airui raised his gaze and looked at him. "There’s a change in the situation. The Emperor’s phone location seems off. I suspect there’s more to this."

Joyina hastily asked, "So was it the Emperor who ordered Su Qing’s assassination?"

"This requires more investigation to specify." Tong Airui shifted his focus to Mi Chenshuo’s face. "Third Brother, tomorrow take Joyina to Beidi. The Beidi King’s request is actually out of a desire to see his daughter. Joyina has been away for too long. Besides, Beidi is safer for Joyina than Xiawu."

Mi Chenshuo furrowed his brow slightly. "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

After Mi Chenshuo took Joyina and left the study, Tong Airui picked up the phone to call Dapeng.

As soon as Dapeng answered, he said irritably, "Fourth Brother, I’ve run into a formidable opponent. While monitoring, I can still hear, but the location has shifted. As of now, I can’t ascertain whether this call is from Haotian Palace."

Tong Airui ordered sternly, "Withdraw immediately!"

"Fourth Brother... Understood!"

After hanging up Dapeng’s call, Tong Airui dialed Yuan Hang. Yuan Hang quickly sent over a file.

Donning his headphones, Tong Airui began listening intently to what was transmitted while typing on the keyboard.
