Chapter 114 Su Qiu's Power
Shen Yi wrapped himself in the blanket that still carried Su Qiu's scent, his eyelids feeling as heavy as lead.
The scenes from last night kept flashing through my mind.
Tender and shameful.
Looking back now, I realize I was indeed too reckless.
But looking at her helpless yet indulgent eyes, I couldn't help but want to stay with her a little longer.
That damn woman, she didn't know to take it easy last night, tossing and turning until the wee hours before finally falling asleep.
Shen Yi muttered to himself, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned down, showing a hint of grievance from not having woken up properly.
His consciousness gradually faded, and he shrank further under the covers.
Like a cat that has found a warm nest, it quickly drifted off to sleep.
Even the phone screen turning on and off repeatedly failed to disturb him in the slightest.
……
Su Qiu sat in the back seat of the car, tapped her fingertips on her phone screen, and sent a message:
"White Wolf will stay close to you from now on. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, go to Black Wolf."
The message was sent successfully, and the interface remained on the dialog box. Shen Yi did not reply immediately.
Su Qiu smiled slightly. She was probably fast asleep again. She had been up so late last night, so she was probably catching up on sleep now.
The car smoothly drove into the private airport, where a silver-gray helicopter was waiting on the tarmac.
Su Qiu put away her phone, got up, and boarded the plane.
The engine roared and pierced the sky, while clouds rushed past the porthole.
After a three- or four-hour flight, the helicopter slowly landed on a private helipad in northern Florida.
Through the airflow stirred up by the propellers, a huge, luxurious manor came into view in the distance.
The ornate wrought iron gates stretch for hundreds of meters, and the neatly trimmed lawns resemble a green velvet carpet.
The central main building is constructed entirely of off-white stone, with a gilded dome and rows of columns, resembling a large palace.
Edge of the tarmac.
White Fox, dressed in a black outfit, stood tall at the front, followed by a group of similarly dressed subordinates.
As soon as the helicopter came to a stop, Su Qiu stepped down the ramp and immediately shouted in unison, "Boss!"
Su Qiu glanced at everyone and nodded slightly.
The white fox strode forward, his face respectful: "Boss, you must be tired from your journey."
"Little fox, thank you for your hard work." Su Qiu patted her shoulder, his tone more casual.
The two walked side by side toward the manor, the stone path beneath their feet inlaid with tiny jade fragments.
Sunlight shines on it, reflecting a warm glow.
The white fox led the way while whispering reports to its guide:
"Boss, the source of the force you asked us to investigate is indeed in Florida."
However, no definitive clues have yet been found as to which faction it belongs to.
Su Qiu kept walking, her fingertips gently caressing the buttons on her cuffs.
No wonder they acted so swiftly last time; it turns out they were local forces.
The Su and Lu families don't have much of a foothold here, so why would any local forces offer them help?
"Host, have you forgotten someone?" Xiao Xitian's voice suddenly rang in his mind, "Chen Liping."
Su Qiu paused, then suddenly realized, "Right, I almost forgot about her."
Chen Liping, that woman, may seem to depend on others, but in reality, she is ruthless.
What happened last time was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
According to current information, Chen Liping has been in frequent private contact with a person surnamed Xiao.
However, not much has been investigated so far; the inland areas are limited, so not much can be found.
"White Fox," Su Qiu looked up at the person beside him, "investigate all the forces with the surname Xiao within the territory of Fudana Continent."
Especially those that have risen to prominence in recent years, or those that operate discreetly but have deep roots.
White Fox immediately replied, "Yes, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
As they spoke, the two had reached the main building's entrance. The carved wooden door slowly opened, and the servants inside bowed in greeting.
Su Qiu stepped inside, her gaze sweeping over the magnificent hall, but her eyes remained unmoved.
I walked straight up the stairs to my apartment, on the seventh floor.
This palatial manor house has seven floors and exudes understated luxury.
Su Qiu's residence is located on the top floor of the main building, with the space on the seventh floor being opened up into a spacious suite.
The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a superb view overlooking the entire estate, while the interior furnishings are simple yet sophisticated.
The privately owned bookshelves stretch from floor to ceiling.
The lush greenery in the corner makes this place feel less like a residence and more like a private sanctuary where one can find peace and quiet.
The ten squad leaders were assigned to live in the secondary buildings on both sides. Each secondary building also had seven floors, and the floors were allocated according to their rank.
The building is laid out in an orderly manner, with the first floor containing a public rest area and a banquet hall.
Each floor above has its own living room and workspace.
The corridor was covered with thick carpets, and footsteps were silent as you walked on them.
The building's functional areas are divided in an extremely detailed manner:
The basement level features a heated swimming pool and sauna, with clear water shimmering in the sunlight.
The first floor is a training room where various weapons are used for training, and there is a fighting ring.
Two-story entertainment room.
The third floor houses a professional gym with a full range of equipment, and dedicated staff are always on hand to maintain it.
The kitchen is on the fourth floor...
Well-trained servants in uniform stood at every corner of the stairwell.
They would bow to people as they passed by, serve tea and water, and tidy up the room with light and quiet movements, all of which showed they were well-trained.
The vast area radiating outwards from this palatial manor is almost entirely within Su Qiu's sphere of influence.
To the south lies a sprawling commercial district, ranging from high-end office buildings to secluded private clubs, each with its own distinct signage.
The actual controller behind them all points to the same name.
Those seemingly independent businesses are either responsible for information transmission or manage the flow of funds.
Like precision gears meshing together, they support the entire network's structure.
In the industrial zone to the north, several unassuming factory buildings actually serve as training bases for armed forces.
Within the high walls, figures in camouflage uniforms move day and night, while the hum of heavy machinery is strictly controlled within a specific range.
Only those familiar with this place know that it is the first line of defense protecting the core area.
On the east and west sides are dozens of seemingly ordinary houses and apartments.
Each place was inhabited by carefully selected trusted confidants.
They might be employees at a street-side café, or security guards in a residential complex.
They are no different from ordinary people on a normal day, but once an instruction is given, they can form a coordinated action in the shortest possible time, creating an airtight monitoring network.
Su Qiu even had spies planted in the police stations and hospitals of the surrounding towns.
This manor is like a heart, permeating every corner of this land through countless invisible blood vessels.
The seemingly scattered buildings and personnel are actually operating in an orderly manner under the same set of instructions, jointly building a vast kingdom with Su Qiu at its core.
This is Su Qiu's power.
The power structure of the continent of Fudana is like an intricate spider web, and Su Qiu is the thickest main thread within it.
The forces that have been able to gain a foothold in this land are all either those who wield great power or those who harbor hidden schemes.
But those who can truly rival Su Qiu are few and far between.
