Chapter 442: Thank You

This isn't Su Rui bragging — in the dark world, he is an intelligence expert.

"Thank you." Kuchiki Senya gave a soft sigh.

"No need for such polite talk between the two of us." Su Rui coughed twice, rubbed his own shoulder, and said, "Right, I forgot to ask earlier — how did you get this shoulder injury?"

That question sounded a little ambiguous.

However, Su Rui genuinely wanted to help Yamamoto Kyoko restore her former glory, and he had also decided that Yamamoto Kyoko's friend was a person worth entrusting his back to.

"Attacked last night." Kuchiki Senya answered briefly.

720 "Oh? Which faction was it?" Su Rui asked immediately. "To dare make a move against you in the Eastern lands — they really don't know what's good for them."

Kuchiki Senya said, "Your enemy is my enemy, so let's join forces and wipe them out."

After saying that, he reached out and tugged at Su Rui's sleeve. "Did your elbow get scraped?"

Su Rui looked down and saw his clothes stained red with fresh blood, so he said, "No, not really."

"Good that it didn't."

Kuchiki Senya's fingers swept across Su Rui's wrist, and the surface muscles of the latter instantly stiffened a fraction.

"Right, also — my phone got destroyed. Could you lend me yours to use for a bit?" Kuchiki Senya said.

"Of course." Su Rui took out his phone without the slightest hesitation.

A communication tool of this level was nothing to him at all.

In Huaxia, the agents of the Ministry of State Security were all equipped with satellite phones, but because signal jamming abroad was even more severe, Su Rui rarely made calls.

"Try dialing out with this number." Kuchiki Senya handed the phone to Su Rui.

"Aren't you afraid I'll trick you?" Su Rui asked.

"I'm not. I know you're not that kind of person." Kuchiki Senya smiled.

The corners of Su Rui's lips curled up and he smiled. "You praising me like this — I'm really not used to it."

At this point, the driver had already turned into a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

"We're here." he said.

"Good." Su Rui pushed open the car door and stepped out with Kuchiki Senya.

This courtyard wasn't exactly remote, but it wasn't bustling either — it looked very ordinary.

Yet, such an environment was actually more suitable for recuperating.

"Please, come in." Kuchiki Senya said.

Su Rui saw the large courtyard, his heart gave a jolt, and then he let it go.

"I should have guessed long ago — I just didn't expect it really was him." A complex shade flickered in the depths of Su Rui's eyes.

He glanced at Kuchiki Senya. "Are you sure he's still alive?"

The reason Su Rui asked this wasn't because he had any old ties with that Eastern ninja leader, but because of the name of this courtyard — Beiming.

Beiming Xuanwu.

Beiming Xuanwu.

Those four characters made Su Rui think of far too much.

This veteran ninja had once been a figure who dominated the Jianghu World in Huaxia, leaving a bold, sweeping stroke in the history of the Jianghu World!

And today, in the capital of Huaxia, what fate awaited his son?

"You mean him?" Kuchiki Senya turned and pointed at the room beside them. "He's right inside."

"Alright then." Su Rui drew in a deep breath, then lifted his foot and walked toward the room.

However, just at that moment, he stopped in his tracks, turned his face back, and asked, "This assassination attempt… who exactly was it aimed at?"

Su Rui knew he couldn't simply keep himself out of it, so there were some things he had to get clear — not only to save people, but also to protect himself.
