353: Chapter 353 Sudden Change (6 updates) 353: Chapter 353 Sudden Change (6 updates) The two waited in the parking lot for nearly half an hour but did not see Su Yumo appear, causing Lin Tong’s brows to furrow.
“It’s strange, what’s going on with Yumo?
She’s never late, and it’s already been twenty minutes—even going to the restroom shouldn’t take this long.”
Lin Tong checked the ti, speaking with a hint of anxiety.
She knew her best friend extrely well; Yumo was always conscious of ti and would never let personal matters affect her work.
Yet the usually punctual Yumo was conspicuously late today.
Could it be that she went to the restroom and forgot to bring toilet paper?
That couldn’t be the reason, and such an incident would never happen to Su Yumo!
With this thought, Lin Tong imdiately made a phone call to her but got a notification that the phone was off, which made Lin Tong’s brow furrow even more.
The ti for the business eting was almost upon them, and if Su Yumo, the project manager, didn’t show up, how could Lin Tong handle it by herself?
“Honey, should I go check it out?”
Seeing Lin Tong’s anxious deanor, Ye Xuan closed the docunts he held and suggested.
For such an important eting, he knew this woman wouldn’t miss it without a good reason.
There had to be sothing wrong.
But he wasn’t sure what exactly had happened, so he decided to go check it out!
“Alright, be quick,” Lin Tong responded imdiately.
Ye Xuan nodded, opened the car door, and stepped out, quickly dashing toward the stairs.
At critical tis like these, taking the stairs was faster!
He rushed to Su Yumo’s office only to find it empty.
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan headed straight toward the bathrooms.
Since Lin Tong ntioned she went to the restroom, it was common sense that she wouldn’t have gone to another floor.
Ye Xuan hadn’t even reached the restroom before he activated his X-ray vision scanning inside.
Still, he found no trace of Su Yumo.
As he burst into the restroom, he saw a ladies’ bag on the sink.
Walking over, Ye Xuan realized it belonged to Su Yumo; he had seen it with her this morning.
The bag was here, but she was nowhere to be seen!
It was unlikely for her to leave her bag behind.
At that mont, Ye Xuan had a bad feeling—sothing might have really happened to Su Yumo.
Ye Xuan stood still and closed his eyes for a mont then started to concentrate deeply.
When he had treated Su Yumo’s illness, he had wrapped the Heart Devouring Gu with a thread of Strange Energy to suppress it, which was still in Su Yumo’s Dantian.
This energy could create a psychic connection within a certain range, allowing him to pinpoint her location by sensing that thread of Strange Energy inside her Dantian.
What he was doing now was communicating with that thread of Strange Energy in Su Yumo’s Dantian, attempting to establish a connection to lock onto her location and determine where she was.
“I found her!”
In just a mont, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, a cold gleam flashing through them.
He distinctly sensed that the energy was three hundred miles away—according to his judgnt, Su Yumo should be near the outskirts of the city.
Without another thought, he grabbed the bag beside him, returned to the office to retrieve Su Yumo’s car keys, and rushed back out, hurrying to the underground parking lot.
“Ye Xuan, did you find Manager Su?”
Upon seeing Ye Xuan return, Lin Tong quickly got out of the car, alard by the look on his face.
Ye Xuan stopped in front of her, handed her the bag, and said, “She might be in trouble.
I’m going to look for her.
You take care of the business eting, just wait for my ssage.”
After a pause, Ye Xuan took off a silver ring from the ring finger of his left hand and handed it to Lin Tong.
“If the people from the William Family give you a hard ti during the eting, show them this ring.
They’ll know what to do.”
Without further explanation, Ye Xuan’s figure flashed, speeding toward the depths of the parking lot like thunder.
Finding Su Yumo’s Chevrolet, Ye Xuan used the key to unlock the car door and quickly sat in the driver’s seat, then started the car.
The car pulled out of the parking lot, and Ye Xuan slamd the accelerator.
Vroom vroom.
The Chevrolet roared like a wild beast, speeding out like an arrow released from its bow, racing toward the direction of his telepathic sensing!
Seeing Ye Xuan hurry into view and then hastily disappear, Lin Tong stood dumbfounded.
She glanced at the ring in her hand, which was sowhat old and sported a silver color, mostly rusty, with a blood-red demon skull in the middle, looking sinister and terrifying.
This ring felt like a cheap street stall item overall!
He actually wore this thing on his hand?
And even had her show this to the people from William Group?
At this mont, Lin Tong’s lips curved into a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.
She initially intended to stuff the ring into her bag, but after contemplating, she ended up wearing it on her left hand instead!
“Forget it, it might actually be useful when the ti cos; this guy is, after all, the Black Emperor.”
Lin Tong smiled helplessly, took a deep breath, then sat back in the car and drove out of the parking lot.
She now had little confidence that this business negotiation with William Group would be successful.
Now she was all alone, while William Group was unwilling to compromise, especially since their demands were extrely harsh!
“Today might be the last negotiation…”
Lin Tong sighed softly, her annoyance evident as she rubbed her temples and drove toward the negotiation venue.
…
anwhile, three hundred miles west of the city, inside a certain cave, a sinister servant woke Su Yumo up, bound her with hemp ropes, and threw her on the hard ground.
He had already taken off his black robe, and at this mont, that hideously ugly face of his wore a chilling, terrifying smile, matched with his less than one-ter stature, making him resemble a ghost doll, deeply terrifying.
“Ah…
are you, are you human or a ghost?”
Su Yumo scread, her face pale with fear, even her lips trembling.
She had never seen soone so ugly…
no, such an ugly child!
It looked too horrifying; she would definitely have nightmares at night.
The ghostly servant smirked, “The Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu has been restrained, sabotaging the master’s Life Extension Plan!
Thus, I must reactivate it, you must endure the pain.”
After saying this, he stepped forward with his short legs, heading toward Su Yumo.
Accompanied by the eerie atmosphere of the cave, it indeed seed like a ghost rushing towards her!
“Ah!
Don’t co over!
What kind of ghastly thing are you?
You’re so ugly, don’t touch .”
Su Yumo scread shrilly, her delicate body curling up on the ground, shakily moving backwards.
At this mont, her hair disheveled and her pretty face pale without a trace of color, she looked particularly pitiable!
Her beautiful eyes were filled with terror and fear, far from her usual dignified and elegant deanor.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you now; your Yin ridian Body is not yet mature.
The Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu needs to feed on your Life Energy to survive, and if your body is damaged, the master will kill imdiately.”
As the ghostly servant spoke, he continued walking toward Su Yumo, reaching for the clothes in front of her, ready to tear them open.
Panic and despair appeared in Su Yumo’s eyes!
Just then, a cold voice ca from outside the cave: “Damn it, this crappy place is so damn hard to find!
Nearly killed .”
