Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 231: Do They Think I Am Dead?

Chief detective and Chu Xuning were shocked at Yu Shijin's words.

But the surroundings were just too quiet. Even if the two of them focused their attention, they would not detect the presence of anyone.

But they knew that Yu Shijin's instincts were never wrong.

They could not detect any presence as the person was much more powerful than the two of them.

At the thought of that, the two of them couldn't help scanning their surroundings again.

"I must thank Master Yu today." Apollo walked over and cupped his fist in a gesture of respect to Yu Shijin. Instead of his usual nonchalance, his golden eyes were deep and serious. "Otherwise, it would have definitely ended up in a terrible battle."

Chief detective and Chu Xuning exchanged a look. They were both thinking the same thing: Was this Apollo?

Yu Shijin kept silent for a moment, his dark eyes turning chilly.

He finally lifted his eyes a moment later and spoke in a mild tone. "We will have to face him sooner or later."

His voice was impassive.

Apollo didn't say anything more. The stage was set and Yu Shijin's appearance today was already the best outcome one could hope for. "Come find me anytime you need anything, Master Yu."

He hurried off after that.

Yu Shijin remained standing there, his hand still on the car door. His pitch-black eyes gazed off in another direction.

He waited several minutes.

Under the weak street lights, the curve of his lips was cold.

Chief detective and Chu Xuning stood beside him, not daring to speak.

Finally, he gave a faint smile that was somewhat self-mocking. He spoke to chief detective and Chu Xuning. "Let's go."

The car doors were closed with a slam.

Inside the car.

Yu Shijin glanced calmly at the rearview mirror.

It was all dark. There was no one there at all.

"Master Yu, the Old City Lord is on video-call." Chief detective handed the laptop over to him.

With one hand still resting upon the car window, Yu Shijin reached out the other to accept the laptop. He gazed at the screen. "What?"

"I saw the live broadcast." Yu Hongchang was leaning against the chair. It was somewhat dark and one could not see his expression.

Yu Shijin remained silent and just raised his eyebrows. His expression prompted Yu Hongchang to tell him what he meant.

Yu Hongchang paused for a moment before continuing, "That Su S, is she real or fake?"

Yu Shijin was slightly taken aback.

He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. His cold eyes looked especially profound. He said slowly, "Who?"

"The one who was previously touted as one of the Double Kings together with you." Yu Hongchang straightened his body. He was very curious. He had never seen Yu Shijin in such an agitated state before. "You probably didn't see the live broadcast just now. You can search for it online now. That red dress and silver mask. It was her signature outfit in Unknown Island in the past."

By then, Yu Shijin had already opened a web browser and was typing on the keyboard with one hand.

He pressed enter without any hesitation.
