Chapter 24: Su You’s Change

Even a fugitive would not have used a method like Di Jiu’s.

“If you are unwilling to talk, then I’ll allow you to die peacefully along with the rest of your counterparts.” Di Jiu waved his dagger in a slashing movement again.

“I’ll talk... I’ll talk!” the sturdy man shouted quickly. “A surveillance camera captured your profile...”

Di Jiu heaved a sigh of relief before he tightened his grip and crushed the man’s throat, smashing the bones inside into pieces. It seemed like he had overestimated Bi Zhengsheng. He had just found that footage by accident.

Di Jiu was not worried about the murders of the four men being recorded. These people had pulled very old tricks out of their sleeves by choosing to attack him there, so they must not have installed any surveillance cameras beforehand.

Di Jiu had been too cautious in the past. This was not the Ji Nation, yet Fei Qi’s words had led him to believe that the men under Bi Zhengsheng’s control were as ruthless as those back in the Ji Nation.

Even though things such as the Major Conduit Internal Records, which included cultivation techniques, could be found on Earth, not everybody had the chance to read such books. Fei Qi had owned this book, yet he had not been able to practise it. It looked like Bi Zhengsheng did not have such a book, or perhaps he did, but he could not practise it either.

If the reason he could not was not that lightning, then it had to be the gray stone that could withstand the power of a lightning strike.

As Di Jiu unconsciously touched the stone that was hanging over his chest, its importance to him gradually increased.

When the sound of a phone ringing broke the silence, Di Jiu walked across to the man with the wavy hair and snatched the phone. The caller ID displayed the name Four Legs, which was obviously a nickname. As soon as Di Jiu picked up, a raspy voice was heard from the other end of the line. “Brother Flower, how is it going over there? Something came up on my end...”

“What’s wrong?” Di Jiu tried to imitate the voice of the man with the wavy hair.

“That Su lass is under control, but we killed somebody else by mistake. What do we do now?” He could tell that the man on the other end of the line was panicking. Killing someone had clearly not been a part of the plan.

The Su lass? Di Jiu suddenly understood everything. The blackout at the Rising River Building had been a way to target both him and Su You. It seemed like the girl the man with the wavy hair had mentioned was Su You. It was probably a lie that he and Su You would be leaving together. They would most likely just disappear at the same time, so that it seemed like they had left Luo Jin together.

Su You’s smiling face, which resembled that of a porcelain doll, popped up in his mind. Her gaze had been undeniably clear. Even though he had been the last guest to arrive, she had still gone to the door to welcome him personally. She had even cracked a joke when he had not given her a present.

“Brother Flower?” the man asked again without waiting for him to reply. There was a hint of alert in his voice.

Di Jiu imitated the voice of the man with the wavy hair as he said slowly, “I just got everything under control here. Big Lu has been injured lightly.”

As he listened to Di Jiu, the man on the other end of the line seemed to calm down. “There was an accident here. I managed to find an excuse to get Su You away from her parents. The plan was to create the facade that she was leaving Luo Jin the next day, but Su Minyu sensed that something was wrong and sent Su You to the venue. He left and then came back two minutes later, just when we had Su You under control. We did not have the time to transport her away.”

“Su Minyu attacked me and I accidentally fired my gun at him and killed him in the process. I could not salvage the situation, so I killed his wife as well and instructed Cat Boy to stage a car accident...”

“Where are you now? I’ll come over immediately and we’ll explain everything to Master Sheng together.” Di Jiu sighed inwardly. These people were incorrigible. They could have just targeted him. He was Bi Zhengsheng’s nemesis after all. However, they had also killed Su Minyu and Su You’s mother, who had been completely innocent.

“We are near Bar Pond.”

“I’ll be there right away.” Di Jiu hung up the phone.

He had a good feeling about Su You. Even though he had killed a few of Bi Zhengsheng’s men and had been about to leave Luo Jin, he had to save Su You before he left. Di Jiu felt that he was not strong enough to seek revenge from Bi Zhengsheng yet.

He was in no hurry, though. When he studied the Major Conduit Internal Records and the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers, he would be able to come back to the Rising River Building and deal with him openly.

Di Jiu moved all four bodies to the car as fast as he could. Then, he drove the car to a quiet place and called a taxi to get to Bar Pond.

He did not know where that bar was, so calling a taxi was his only option.

Fortunately, it was not too far. About 10 minutes later, Di Jiu saw the words “Bar Pond” on a sign.

This place was indeed a pond, but around the pond were a few public facilities, such as fitness equipment and stone pillars. There was also a track that circled around the pond.

A gray car was parked at the corner of Bar Pond. Di Jiu was sure that the kidnapped Su You was in that car.

Di Jiu got out of the taxi and walked over to the gray car quickly. He did not wait for the car door to open before he pulled forcefully at the door in front of him.

A short knife shot out to stab him without a warning. Di Jiu flicked his wrist and caught the other person’s hand. The knife almost landed in Di Jiu’s hands. Di Jiu moved his hand and sent the knife flying past the seat, stabbing one of the women in the backseat right in the middle of the temple. The gun in the woman’s hand was dropped on the seat.

“Who are you?” the man in the driver’s seat, who had just gotten his knife snatched away, asked. Di Jiu squeezed his throat and silenced him.

Su You, who had a cloth stuffed into her mouth, was unconscious. Di Jiu did not try to wake her. He immediately drove the car to the side of the road and carried Su You out of it.

A few minutes later, he awakened her. The moment he saw Su You open her eyes, Di Jiu was shocked.

When he had last seen Su You a few hours ago, her eyes had been crystal clear. There had not even been a speck of dust in them. Now, there was a cavity in her eyes, filled with a grayish-white substance that he could not identify.

Di Jiu reached out with his hand and pressed on some of Su You’s acupuncture points to calm her down. “Su You, are you alright?” he asked.

“You are Di Jiu,” Su You replied as she finally calmed down.

Di Jiu nodded. “Yes, I am. You were kidnapped by Bi Zhengsheng’s men, but I rescued you. We cannot stay here any longer. Where is your house? I’ll take you back first.”

As soon as she heard Di Jiu’s words and recalled the scary events that had happened not too long ago, Su You started wailing at the top of her voice.

“Su You, Bi Zhengsheng is a horrendous man that hides in the shadows. We must leave this place right away. Don’t cry here!” Di Jiu told her in a rush.

“I have no parents anymore! They used Zhi Mei’s mobile and imitated her voice to trick me into going to her house. My dad realized that something was amiss and rushed back. They killed my parents... I want to call the police...” As she was speaking, Su You’s eyes had a hint of fear and apprehension.

It didn’t matter whether it had been an accident. Those ruthless people had not spared Su You’s parents. There must have been no one in Zhi Mei’s house, if they had been able to get a hold of the girl’s phone. These people had to be very capable, if they had been able to do so much in such a short period of time.

Di Jiu sighed. All he could say was, “Su You, I offended Bi Zhengsheng, so I can’t stay in Luo Jin anymore. Bi Zhengsheng has a hidden power. He has an underground ring at the Rising River Building. If you want revenge, I suggest that we don’t do anything right now. Even if he was caught, he has the money to hire a lawyer. He would only be incarcerated for a few years at the most before he was released. All this is irrelevant now. If you don’t bother Bi Zhengsheng now and you aren’t able to take revenge in the future, I will help you do so...”

Di Jiu did not continue. Bi Zhengsheng was someone who hid underground, so even if this issue was revealed to the public and the Rising River Building was closed down, Bi Zhengsheng would not go down with it. As long as they could not get rid of Bi Zhengsheng, it did not matter whether the Rising River Building was closed or not.

Di Jiu really wanted to get rid of Bi Zhengsheng and help Su You take revenge. This was not just child’s talk.

Su You did not seem to be listening to Di Jiu, though. She just kept weeping.

A few minutes later, Di Jiu was still not sure what to do, when Su You suddenly stopped crying. She raised her eyes, which had already lost their clarity, looked at Di Jiu and said, “Thank you for saving me, Big Brother Di Jiu. I understand what you mean. I would never do anything foolish, but I have a request I need your help with.”

“Go ahead. As long as I can do it and it does not go against my principles, I will help you,” Di Jiu said with a nod.

“I have an aunt in the Swallow Capital, so I was hoping that we could fly there. That way, we would reach the Swallow Capital faster.” Su You did not explain any further. She could rely on her aunt to get her into the Swallow Capital University’s Institute of Martial Arts, and she also needed her aunt to take care of her parents’ bodies.

Di Jiu’s words had hit home. Now that the Fairy Planet was open, she wanted to learn some skills there and come back to take revenge for her parents’ deaths.

“Alright,” Di Jiu agreed without hesitation. He did not mention anything about the staged accident. Su You was still young, so there were a lot of things that she could not handle yet.
