Imperial Treasure

Chapter 651 - 422: The Special One

Well, since Pu Qinghan and the others had to fend for themselves, takeout was out of the question. It would cause chaos if others found out Pu Qinghan was living here...

But just as they were cooking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Li Bo exchanged a glance with Pu Qinghan, an inexplicable tension arose; it couldn’t be reporters, could it?

Pat, pat, Sui Yi, who had gone back to the study, suddenly came downstairs.

She opened the door.

Behind the door... Yue Beiqing greeted Sui Yi with a slight smile.

Sui Yi glanced at her, and Li Bo felt that the smile of this woman, whose appearance was even more beautiful than that of his own artists, was quite bone-chilling.

Naturally, Yue Beiqing’s eyes first fell on Sui Yi, dressed in a thin-round neck sweater with fine lines, oatmeal beige in color, with a small blue collar, fitting black tapered trousers, and slippers...

Behind her was a lightly decorated, artistic interior background... One glance was enough to see the rows of books in the wall niches...

Accompanied by the person in front, with their noble features and indifferent, cold demeanor, it was all so daunting and restrictive.

Yue Beiqing sensed that the breathing of the two subordinates behind her had become somewhat restrained.

Her eyes steady, she solemnly uttered, "Miss Sui..."

As if cutting to the chase, her gaze drifted to Pu Qinghan, who was wearing an apron in the kitchen doorway, and with a quirk of her mouth, she said, "I think now I need to take Miss Pu away."

Clatter! The spoon in Li Bo’s hand hit the ground, his face turning pale.

Sui Yi watched Yue Beiqing, her brows slightly furrowed.

The latter’s voice was cool, as if coming from beyond this world.

"Last night, three people were killed,"

"Just like Li Yu,"

Li Bo felt weak all over.

"Where are your people?" Sui Yi knew that this person, like herself, must have anticipated the killer would strike again and wouldn’t have been without preparations.

"They’re dead," Yue Beiqing leaned on the door, her hands crossed in front of her, "My people were watching over some individuals, spread out, and even with that kind of low risk of encountering danger, two of Liu Qian’s close associates died, and one of the tails was also killed,"

How vicious the killer must be!

"Didn’t see anyone?"

"Like a ghost,"

"That’s not something you should be saying,"

"In fact, I too would rather not encounter such a troublesome killer,"

"I can’t see any sorrow or frustration on your face..."

Sui Yi’s words were already somewhat sharp.

The young man behind Yue Beiqing frowned, but heard Yue Beiqing respond indifferently, "When you’re out in this world, you always have to pay it back..."

She paused, then smiled, "Say, do you really want me to stand at the door? Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit down?"

At this moment, Pu Qinghan touched the apron tied around her waist, her fingers hooked, and she pulled it off.

"There’s no need... I’ll go with you,"

Just the previous night, Sui Yi had said that Yue Beiqing’s original intention was to entrust her to Sui Yi, and she would surely not lie to her. Since Yue Beiqing came the next day, it meant that the situation was much more dangerous and terrifying than they had guessed last night.

So terrifying that Sui Yi might not even be able to handle it.

In such a situation, how could she still implicate others?

Pu Qinghan decided to leave on her own, leaving Sui Yi at a loss for words. She watched Pu Qinghan pull her luggage over, exchange a few words with Li Bo, and then turn to Sui Yi.

"Miss Sui..." She paused, then continued.

"You’re the best person I’ve ever met..."

"Goodbye,"

She turned around, the door closed.

Li Bo could no longer hold back in front of Sui Yi; she squatted on the ground and began sobbing.

Sui Yi didn’t comfort her, simply went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. When she returned, Li Bo was already standing before her with red eyes, on the verge of saying something...

"Life and death are a matter of fate," Sui Yi said as she handed the water to her. Her words seemed to stabilize people’s hearts; even though Li Bo knew these weren’t comforting words and were actually full of negative energy, she still managed to calm down a bit, giving a wry smile, "I just feel like these kinds of things shouldn’t have fallen on her..."

"Matters of life and death never pertain to should or shouldn’t," Sui Yi lowered her gaze, fell silent for a while, then said, "You can stay at my place for a few days, until this is over."

Having worked as an agent in an entertainment company for many years, Li Bo was naturally sensitive in matters of emotion, and immediately heard a glimmer of hope in Sui Yi’s words...

But she didn’t dare say much, first because if she asked for help, it would be like imposing on someone, and she always knew that people of Sui Yi’s stature would act if they intended to, without being asked, and if they were uninterested, no amount of pleading would help.

So she suppressed the anxiety and tension in her heart and took a drink of the water.

Gong Jiu and his team quickly learned of the situation from Sui Yi. They had taken the initiative to contact her, knowing about the three unfortunate individuals killed associated with Liu Qian, and then they immediately learned from Sui Yi that Yue Beiqing had been taken away...
