Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Mysterious Mr. K Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Mysterious Mr. K This business card was given to her the morning after she won the championship at the Abis Boxing Competition by soone who had co to find her at her residence.
The Caucasian man, donning sunglasses and dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looked tall and strong with a solemn and respectful deanor, like a well-trained bodyguard.
He claid to be representing a Mr. K.
He said his master Mr. K had watched the consecutive seven nights of matches and was very impressed with her.
And asked if she was interested in developing her career in Suli, as a resident boxer at one of Mr. K’s fighting clubs.
Lu Sheng further inquired for more specific information, but the man revealed that his master had a special status in Suli that could not be disclosed.
However, he made it clear that if she was willing, a private plane could take her to et Mr. K in Suli within an hour.
Moreover, if she were to agree to beco a resident boxer, no matter what conditions or how much money she wanted, as long as she could na it, Mr. K could agree to it.
—No matter what conditions or how much money, they could agree to it?
At that mont, Lu Sheng looked at the business card.
The black card with gold foil and a sense of high quality seed to exude a certain kind of regal and mysterious aura.
Soone who could make such an offer must not only have a special status but certainly belongs to the powerful and wealthy elite in Suli.
However, Lu Sheng was not interested in working for others; she had only participated in the Abis Boxing Competition to win back a cultural relic.
Thus, she did not hesitate and imdiately rejected the man. Then, on a whim, she took a photo of the business card and uploaded it to her cloud drive.
At this very mont, Lu Sheng stared at the business card on the screen for a few seconds.
Li Muchen had made no progress, and he was unfamiliar with foreign lands—perhaps this Mr. K could help find his grandmother’s whereabouts.
So Lu Sheng tentatively sent a few text ssages to Mr. K.
As the common language in Suli was English, the text ssages Lu Sheng sent were also in English.
[Mr. K, I don’t know if you have changed your phone number, or if you still rember .]
[I am panda. Two years ago, you had soone find after the Abis boxing match, and you asked if I was willing to work for you in Suli.]
[I’m sorry that I refused your invitation then, but now I have sothing for which I need your help.]
[I’d appreciate it if you could assist .]
Truth be told, when she sent that ssage, Lu Sheng wasn’t holding out much hope.
Not to ntion whether Mr. K had changed his phone number or if he still rembered her.
Even if he hadn’t changed his number and rembered who she was, it would still be odd for him to suddenly receive a ssage from her, a stranger, asking for a favor, and it was likely that a normal person would find it strange and possibly not respond at all.
But Lu Sheng didn’t have a better idea for the ti being.
She had never t Li Muchen’s grandmother, and she wasn’t able to sense her whereabouts or help him search on behalf of Li Muchen.
She could only make such an attempt.
However, what Lu Sheng didn’t expect was that the ssage she thought would fall on deaf ears actually received a reply just ten minutes later.
And, to her surprise, the reply was in Chinese.
[Miss panda, it’s truly a pleasure to receive your ssage.]
[I’ve been waiting for you to contact , but to think that this wait turned out to be two years.]
Judging by the relaxed tone, it seed the sender also carried a hint of teasing, which was sowhat unexpected to Lu Sheng.
So she quickly replied in Chinese: [Hello, Mr. K.]
The other party responded: [So, Miss panda, what do you need my assistance with?]
[I’ve once said that as long as you’re willing to co to Suli to work for , you may set any condition. This promise remains valid even after two years.]
Reading these words, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
She replied: [I’m sorry Mr. K, but my true identity is that of a student in China currently studying in my final year of high school, so I’m unable to accept your offer to be a permanent boxer in Suli.]
[However, if you are willing to help with this, I will rember your favor whether we succeed or not.]
It took several minutes for the reply to co after sending this ssage.
[So the Miss panda who crushes everyone on the boxing ring is just a high school girl? This seems even more interesting.]
[Tell , what do you want my help with? Don’t worry about whether it can be done or not, because if I help you, it will surely be accomplished.]
What confident tone.
What kind of status and power must this person have to not even ask what she needs help with before saying that it will definitely be done?
This made Lu Sheng even more curious about Mr. K’s identity.
[Here’s the thing, my friend’s grandmother was originally recuperating and treating her illness at a sanatorium in Suli, but she suddenly disappeared from the sanatorium five days ago.]
[For these five days, my friend has been searching for her in Suli, but even after checking all the road surveillance and immigration lists, there’s no trace of his grandmother.]
[I’m inclined to believe that she is still in Suli, just hidden away deliberately. But we still do not know who took her away and their purpose.]
[As Chinese, we are limited in our familiarity with Suli. Moreover, there are so restrictions that Suli has on foreigners, which makes searching for soone inconvenient.]
[So I would like to ask Mr. K for help, hoping we can find his grandmother as soon as possible.]
There’s no more ti to delay.
Li Muchen’s grandmother has Primary Pulmonary Arterial Paralysis, and she must receive targeted treatnt every week to sustain her life; otherwise, she could die from cardiac and pulmonary failure and breathing difficulties.
Although Li Muchen said that his grandmother’s body can hardly withstand the intensity of the targeted treatnts anymore, and even if she were found, she may not have much ti left.
But now it’s different.
Professor Peng Hongyuan has already started applying for a special treatnt trial for her. As long as Li Muchen’s grandmother can be found, Lu Sheng can imdiately tell Li Muchen to bring his grandmother back to China for treatnt.
Mr. K replied with a ssage faster than Lu Sheng had expected, and more readily too.
[No problem ^_^]
[Miss panda can send the information about your friend’s grandmother.]
He agreed so easily.
Lu Sheng quickly typed a reply: [Okay, thank you.]
[Save your thanks until after I’ve found the person for you, Miss panda. I’ll contact you once she’s found.]
After sending all the information over, Lu Sheng turned off her phone and finally leaned back in her chair with a sigh of relief.
*
For the whole day on Monday, and the entire morning on Tuesday, Lu Sheng had been waiting for news from K.
Although she knew, no matter what K’s identity was, finding a person in a country would understandably take so ti.
Yet, she couldn’t help but glance at her phone from ti to ti.
In the past couple of days, a mudslide occurred in the south of China.
Almost all of Weibo was reporting the news from there, so the online exposure of Lu Sheng’s panda identity quickly subsided.
For Lu Sheng, this was a good thing—it would have been problematic if other dia outlets had co to her school after she refused a few interview requests.
The impact of panda’s unmasking on Lu Sheng wasn’t considerable, but as for Fu Chen, it seed like he had contracted so sort of illness.
Ever since he discovered Lu Sheng was panda that night, Fu Chen kept stealing glances at her at school these past two days.
Every ti Lu Sheng frowned and looked back, Fu Chen would imdiately turn his head away guiltily, which was quite vexing.
At noon, when Lu Sheng returned to the Lu Family ho, preparing to nap for a while, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her temples, like being pricked with needles.
The sudden, acute pain made Lu Sheng gasp and she involuntarily hissed.
But the very next second, she realized the source of the pain, making her expression shift dramatically.
—Damn it, it’s Old Mr. Fu.
Sothing has happened to Old Mr. Fu.
