Her heart was pounding wildly, completely forgetting the joy of her restored appearance, the first complete sentence she could utter was, "Lu Shifeng, co over."
The unfamiliar man looked at her with interest, then at Lu Shifeng, still smiling, "She cares about you a lot, and it wasn’t in vain that you paid such a high price for her."
Lu Shifeng’s expression was as stern as ever.
He wasn’t intimidated by the strange man like Su Xingyu was, standing beside the eerie stranger, his aura did not lose to the other.
In response, he rely glanced at the unfamiliar man, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Wei Linnan."
The man nad Wei Linnan said, "Alright, you’ve confird with your own eyes that your woman is safe. Hurry and leave here, complete what we agreed upon, and then co find ."
With that, he no longer looked at Su Xingyu, turned, and left the room.
The room seed to be rid of so invisible threat.
Su Xingyu’s upright hairs finally settled down, she exhaled quietly.
Lu Shifeng strode towards her, gripping her cold little hand, "You’ve been frightened." As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on her restored face, "Wei Linnan really lives up to his reputation, your face has healed perfectly."
Her hand was not only cold but trembling slightly; since entering this base, shock, surprise, and fright ca one after another, leaving her unable to process it all, so she even forgot to withdraw her hand from Lu Shifeng’s grasp. She looked up at him and asked, "Who exactly is that person? So scary."
"Wei Linnan?" Lu Shifeng knew who she was talking about.
"Yes," Su Xingyu said, her heart still pounding, "You didn’t know there was such a large base underground in S City before? Such a base couldn’t be built without decades, right? The Lu Family’s influence here is so big yet knows nothing about it?" If true, it is terribly frightening!
Lu Shifeng said, "The Lu Family is aware of this base."
Su Xingyu looked at him in awe.
Lu Shifeng said, "This base was established a long ti ago, dating back to the Lu Family’s ancestors. Later, the base sought people to renovate and expand several tis, using the Lee Family’s personnel. The Lee Family is an old ally of ours, so they revealed the existence of a large underground base in S City to us, but this base is too isolated and mysterious. Specifically, I only ca in this ti because of your matter."
Su Xingyu hadn’t expected such a connection.
"Then, does the Lu Family just let it exist like this?"
"What else?" Lu Shifeng’s voice was low and indifferent, "The principle of this base is not to offend if not offended, over the years nobody knows what they are researching. The only certainty is there’s no conflict with the Lu Family, otherwise, the Lu Family would’ve fought it to the death long ago. Xingyu, the business in this world is endless. The Lu Family does optical instrunts, this base does biodical, completely two different fields."
Su Xingyu still felt sothing was off.
But she couldn’t pinpoint why, possibly due to a woman’s intuition, "That man called Wei Linnan... so scary."
"He is the master of this base."
Su Xingyu suddenly raised her head, "The person you told not to provoke? The most dangerous figure in the world?"
"Yes." Lu Shifeng said, although the Lu Family doesn’t deal in biodical, they know its concept well enough; a random creation of biological weapons could destroy the world.
The man nad Wei Linnan exuded a dangerous aura, making him very difficult to handle.
Moreover, this ti when asking him to help treat Xingyu’s facial injury, the man proposed such conditions...
If it were usual, he would never agree.
Fear that few people in this world would agree.
In the pure and silent room, the two stood facing each other.
Su Xingyu looked up at him, the man before her had the familiar features at the corners of his eyes and brows—silent, calm, resolute, but there was a slight and hard-to-notice furrow between his brows, as if he encountered sothing extrely unpleasant.
Her face wasn’t already healed?
What still made him unhappy?
Thinking this way, Su Xingyu asked him, "What did Wei Linnan an earlier by completing the agreed upon matter and then going to find him, what matter?"
Not out of curiosity, but aware of the severity of her facial injury, Lu Shifeng had to pay a significant price to have it healed.
Yet, Lu Shifeng lightly said, "Just a small matter."
"A small matter?" Su Xingyu was doubtful.
Lu Shifeng glanced at her, "Why do you want to know?"
"I..." Su Xingyu was montarily at a loss for words, then coldly said, "I don’t want to owe you any favors."
Turns out, just not wanting to owe favors.
They had gone through so many storms, perhaps there’s no going back anymore.
Lu Shifeng’s heart ached slightly, yet there was a faint sense of relief, this was good too, preventing any future distress upon learning the truth.
His tone beca even more indifferent, "I’m the CEO of Blade Group, there are no less than a thousand people asking for favors, and coincidentally I have the capital to make an exchange deal with Wei Linnan."
Su Xingyu looked at him with so suspicion, unsure whether what he said was true or false, but she understood that if he was unwilling to reveal the truth, then she was powerless to pry his mouth open, thus had no choice but to let it go.
She lightly turned around, "Let’s go out first."
About to walk out.
"Wait a minute." Lu Shifeng called to her, taking out a beautiful, light-colored veil of shimry texture and wrapping it around her face, "Wei Linnan said your face has just healed, it can’t be exposed to light yet, must be nurtured for a period. This way the skin won’t get blemished, and scars won’t reerge."
Su Xingyu blinked, behind the veil she looked like a fairy.
She didn’t reach out to pull the veil off, her heart agreed with Lu Shifeng’s words—many skincare courses teach won to avoid sunlight, especially during tis when skin is vulnerable, she understood.
"Where did this veil co from?" She was more curious about this.
After coming out of the previously semi-transparent glass nutrition cabin, all her clothing had been replaced, and the mask she wore earlier was gone.
Lu Shifeng was silent for a mont before saying, "Before bringing you over here, Wei Linnan had inford of precautions after treatnt, so I carried it with ." What he didn’t tell her was, this veil was bought four years ago, after losing her, one day passing by a clothing store, the mannequin’s silhouette looked much like hers, he thought, if it were her wearing it, she’d certainly look particularly beautiful.
Even though at the ti he didn’t know she was alive.
Now, the veil unexpectedly found its use, he sighed at his luck, grateful to heaven for bringing her back to his side.
