Chapter 626


    Chapter 626 It Wasn’t So Simple


    Ziyue and Ke changed before they left together.


    Ziyue still remembered the address. Since Ke had said she wanted to send Ziyue halfway, Ziyue


    looked up the route and found an address in the middle where Ke let her off.


    She switched cabs twice or thrice before arriving at the note''s address.


    It was a slightly old residential area with an intense marketce atmosphere.


    Because the district wasn''t significantly developed, the people there rarely saw unfamiliar faces. As


    Ziyue walked on the street with foreign features, it attracted the attention of many.


    Ziyue was on alert and wore the hat she had prepared before she arrived at the house.


    The house was slightly old, but she could tell it had been maintained well. It felt archaic yetforting.


    The door was half-open, and no one was at the door. When Ziyue looked in through the cracks of the


    doors, she didn''t see anyone.


    She walked around to the back of the house and found a side door.


    She looked around and only went in when she confirmed no one was around.


    She walked through the door quietly and arrived in the backyard after walking through a short corridor.


    Although it was a backyard, the area was small.


    Ziyue looked around. The house was quiet and had no noise at all. She furrowed her brows slightly and


    slowly walked in as she leaned against the wall.


    Beforeing, she had imagined if Enyang was possibly here.


    But since Shichu could get someone to write Ziyue the address and wanted her toe, she intuitively


    felt that he must have been in a safe environment.


    She had an intuition that Shichu wouldn''t harm her no matter what.


    She walked to the lounge, and everything was still silent.


    At that moment, voices came from upstairs. They were speaking a foreignnguage.


    Ziyue backed away along the wall before she found a corner and hid.


    A young man and woman were talking, and they seemed to be a couple from their mannerisms.


    They walked to the door as they talked.


    Ziyue only came out when they were at the door. After they left, Ziyue looked upstairs and became less


    confident.


    It had been over a week since Shichu had given her the note through other people. She was unsure if


    he was still there.


    But since she was already here, she had to look around.


    Thinking about that, she raised her feet and walked up the stairs.


    There were three levels to the house, along with an attic.


    The second and third floors were quiet, so Ziyue arrived at the loft.


    The room in the attic looked small, and the door was closed with a lock on it.


    Ziyue reached out and hesitated momentarily before removing the lock, but she didn''t dare to open the


    door at once.


    She leaned forward slightly and put her ear against the door carefully, wanting to hear movement


    inside.


    She listened with rapt attention. It seemed like… there was some movement inside…


    ''Creak''


    Someone suddenly opened the door from the inside, and Ziyue had an unsteady center of gravity, so


    she fell inside head first.


    At that moment, she was so nervous that her heart almost leaped out of her chest.


    She didn''t fall on the floor but into a warm embrace.


    Her body stiffened as she tried to get up when she heard a familiar voice above her head.


    "It''s me."


    Ziyue was suddenly startled. She raised her head, astonished, to look at the person speaking.


    "Shi… It''s you!" She almost called out the once familiar name.


    In front of her was none other than Lu Shichu.


    The two stood at the door and were silent.


    It had been a long time since what happened at the vi. When Ziyue looked at the thin Shichu before


    her, it seemed like it had happened a lifetime ago.


    He was really still alive.


    After a long time, Shichu spoke first. "Come in. Don''t stand at the door."


    He stepped aside, and Ziyue''s field of vision widened. She saw the room''s disy.


    The room was tiny and looked simple because there wasn''t much inside. At this time, she smelled


    medicinal fumes.


    As she walked in, Shichu shut the door behind her.


    The room had a simpleyout. A bed, desk, and small bookshelf. There were also a few boxes of


    mineral water.


    Shichu turned and took a bottle of mineral water. He opened it before he handed it to her.


    He had a smile on his face, along with his usual gentle expression. His voice was slightly apologetic. "I


    only have this. If you would like something else, there''s a bar on the second floor. They should have


    left, so I could make you a ss of juice."


    Ziyue shook her head and pursed the corners of her mouth. She took the mineral water from him and


    had a sip. "This is good."


    After that, she turned her head to the side.


    She felt an unspeakable sadness as she looked at Shichu like that.


    "They kept advising me to leave, but I knew you woulde to see me." Shichu sat down in front of


    her.


    He knew that Ziyue wouldn''t feel at ease before she saw him alive.


    He could be heartless to everyone except Ziyue.


    Ziyue got herself together and turned to look at him. "How are you feeling?"


    He was thin and had a paleplexion as he stayed in such a narrow room. As he sat before her, she


    felt that Shichu''s condition had worsened. But she couldn''t help but feel slightly worried as she looked


    at him like that.


    "I''m fine. Have you forgotten that there''s a K7 team in Gricy? They just haven''t observed my gunshot


    wound yet." Shichu''s tone was rxed.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    He realized he was a lot more at ease after being exposed. He couldfortably bring up Gricy in front


    of Ziyue. Although it made him ashamed, he had already done it. Nothing could be changed, and he


    had given up slightly.


    Ziyue wasn''t dumb. Shichu still looked weak. He hadn''t been recovering well, but she wouldn''t ask


    further. This was herst sign of respect for him.


    When he brought up Gricy, some questions were unavoidable.


    "Why did you do those things?"


    Shichu raised his head to look at Ziyue when he heard her voice.


    There was confusion, bewilderment, and disbelief in her eyes.


    He couldn''t help but silentlyugh at himself. Does Ziyue still find it hard to believe?


    During this recuperation period, he often wondered why everything had happened but didn''t have an


    answer.


    "When I was studying overseas, those in Gricy had already found me. At first, they used my parents''


    safety to threaten me, so I could only concede. After some time, I did so many bad things that it didn''t


    affect my conscience anymore. Those achievements and power weren''t something an ordinary doctor


    could possess."


    Shichu spoke calmly, but Ziyue''s hand started to hurt from clenching it. "You…"


    Ziyue didn''t know what to say. When his parents were threatened, what else could he do as their son


    except for surrender when met with such a powerful enemy?


    Shichu smiled when he saw her silent.


    It wasn''t so simple.


    His results had always been exceptional when he studied overseas, and he received various awards at


    school. His reputation preceded him before graduating, but he never imagined Gricy would have their


    eye on him.


    Gricy had taken great pains. Not only did they use his parents to threaten him, they even found out


    about Ziyue.


    Otherwise, how could he not have looked for Ziyue when he was overseas for so many years?
