Su Chen's hand, which held the letter, trembled incessantly, and a surge of shock flooded his heart!
What shocked him so was not only the content of the letter but more importantly, the person who wrote it!
Who could have written such a letter? And this person even addressed themselves as "little Tian"!
Su Chen felt like things were getting more and more complicated and further out of his control, an unsettling feeling he didn't like.
So ti later, he sat down again and carefully read the letter.
Could it be that the incident that happened to the Su Family all those years ago had an even more complex background, or that besides the Five Great Families, there were other participants?
Su Chen furrowed his brows in deep thought, but the clues he had were just too scant, too little of value!
However, from the tone of the letter, although the writer knew his identity, it didn't seem like they intended to expose him, and there was even a hint of friendliness rather than enmity.
Unable to figure it out, Su Chen reluctantly put the matter aside for the mont and then left work to head ho.
Because Lin Ruoxue had to work overti and would return later, Su Chen took the opportunity to stop by the vegetable market to buy so groceries and then prepared dinner.
When he was alone, he rarely cooked, but when he was with Lin Ruoxue, he quite enjoyed doing it. He relished the monts of having dinner ready, waiting for Lin Ruoxue to co ho, and then dining together—a simple yet blissful ti.
Around 8 p.m., Lin Ruoxue ca ho, and the two had dinner together before sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, much like they did in Jianghai.
Of course, as in Jianghai, while talking, Su Chen's hands beca a little unruly.
Lin Ruoxue had grown used to his casual touches and no longer bothered about them. However, whenever he attempted to take things a step further, she would unhesitatingly slap his audacious hand away!
After being dutifully behaved for a while, Su Chen would quietly beco mischievous again, but each ti, Lin Ruoxue was quick to notice.
After several such attempts, Su Chen inevitably admitted defeat, looking dejected.
Lin Ruoxue found this amusing, feeling he was like a child who hadn't gotten the candy he wanted!
As it neared ten o'clock, Lin Ruoxue continued upstairs with her work, while Su Chen drove to the estate to continue his cultivation.
Now more than ever, he hoped to quickly enhance his Realm—not only because of the Skull Society and the forces behind it but also the Five Great Families related to his parents' deaths.
With both of these concerns, Su Chen felt he did not have much assurance.
Moreover, the letter he received today implied that his parents' sudden deaths might not have been as simple as involving just the Five Great Families, which only increased his sense of urgency!
After a night of cultivation, Su Chen felt refreshed but was not very pleased. With the lack of the rich Yuan Qi he had experienced in the estate in Jianghai, he felt sowhat dissatisfied here.
This situation indeed confird the old saying, "it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
Su Chen decided he must find ti to visit that estate in Jianghai to see what was peculiar about it that it could produce such rich True Yuan.
After a shower, Su Chen once again drove back to the villa he shared with Lin Ruoxue and then prepared breakfast.
"Hubby, good morning!"
At this ti, Lin Ruoxue had also gotten up, coming down the stairs in her pink pajamas with her slightly ssy hair carelessly draped over her shoulders, lazily calling out.
Although Su Chen was accustod to Lin Ruoxue's state upon waking up, he still found a distinct beauty in it every ti he saw her.
This kind of beauty seed innate, and what was precious was that Lin Ruoxue was unaware of it.
After a simple breakfast, Lin Ruoxue went upstairs to change clothes and left, and Su Chen, as usual, started out a bit later.
In the following days, Su Chen's life returned to tranquility, with no particular events occurring, and each day passed as smoothly as flowing water, without any ripples.
The only thing worth ntioning was that during this period, he sneaked out and went on secret dates with Du Hanbing twice.
The Du Hanbing of today was completely different from when Su Chen first t her, no longer haggard and tired but instead radiant, with a smile adorning her face every day.
Du Hanbing's obvious transformation caused the guys from the Eighth Brigade to tease her, saying that she was nourished by love, and she had beco a different person altogether.
This made Du Hanbing sowhat embarrassed, her face often flushing and heart racing from their teasing, just like a shy young girl!
Days flashed by, and on that afternoon, while Su Chen was "having a heart-to-heart" with the young girl Shu Yin in his office, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Doctor Gaia, he imdiately waved Shu Yin away and, after she left, he quickly answered the call.
"Su, I've found a way to deal with those Gene Modifiers!"
As soon as the call connected, Doctor Gaia's excited voice ca through.
"What?!"
Su Chen also leapt up from his chair, screaming in disbelief!
"Are you serious?"
Su Chen found he could hardly control his heartbeat and hurriedly asked.
After all, this was the good news that he had been eagerly awaiting, and to so extent, it was incredibly important!
"Of course, it's true!" Gaia also spoke with a turbulent heart, "Su, when would it be convenient for you to co to Jianghai? Let's discuss in detail!"
"What do you an 'find a ti'? I'm coming over right now!"
Su Chen replied, already heading out the office door while talking.
He first told Lin Ruoxue that he needed to make a quick trip back to Jianghai for sothing, and naturally, Lin Ruoxue had no objections.
Once outside Rainbow Mansion, Su Chen imdiately made another call to Qin Ming, asking him to arrange a helicopter at once.
For Qin Ming, this was a minor matter. Not far from the Special Security Bureau was a helipad with several helicopters at standby, used by the Special Security Bureau for mission deploynt.
When Su Chen arrived there, Qin Ming was already waiting.
"Why do you need a helicopter so urgently?"
Seeing Su Chen's arrival, Qin Ming asked curiously.
"I need to rush to Jianghai right away," Su Chen glanced at Qin Ming and said, "There's been progress in the research!"
"Really?"
Hearing this, a look of surprise spread across Qin Ming's face, knowing what it signified.
"Do you want to accompany you?" Qin Ming asked.
"No need for now, I'll make a quick trip there and back, and we can talk about any situations upon my return."
"Alright then, you better hurry." Qin Ming urged anxiously.
Su Chen then boarded the plane, and the pilot imdiately took off into the sky, heading in the direction of Jianghai...
