Chapter 842: Love Beginning After a Breakup 31

I want to look around here; Uncle, you won't even deny me this face, will you?

Qiao Xu glanced at the water on the table, which again had that strange taste from yesterday, faint but present.

"What sightseeing? You weren't still scared yesterday?"

Jin Fu reversed yesterday's kind tone, almost forcing out a question.

"Exactly, I think some people are just pretending."

Gu He, sitting to the side, rolled his eyes: "There's nothing to see here."

Qiao Xu sighed helplessly: "Then just wander around; your family is really poor."

Gu He: "……"

As if thinking of something, his Eyeball rolled, signaling the bodyguards to bring that person in.

Qiao Xu didn't understand the meaning of his expression, subconsciously turning his head to look.

Just then, two bodyguards brought in a man dressed in black combat clothes, covered in wounds; when he saw himself, his eyes clearly lit up.

But…… who is this person?

Gu He: "Your foolish, rich father actually spent ten billion on the black market to save your life."

"It's a pity that my casino isn't open to just anyone."

Qiao Xu's expression changed slightly; in an instant his fear turned into feigned anger, truly a spoiled young master inexperienced with the world.

"Uncle! My father has been looking for me; why haven't you thought of a way to get me out?!"

"In two days Jin Chen will return; then he'll surely be furious!"

Jin Fu smiled without speaking, his rough fingers tapping the table intermittently.

Just as Qiao Xu thought he wouldn't answer, a voice with hidden mockery said: "Jin Chen… whether he can come back is still uncertain."

"Just stay here obediently; if you want to look around, go ahead. But if you dare to leave secretly……"

Jin Fu raised his gun, aimed at the man's chest; the moment he fired, his expression didn't change, his smiling eyes always fixed on Qiao Xu.

Watching this young master, even though he was already frightened pale, still pretending to be calm, a strange, malicious laugh came from his throat.

"That's how it ends, understand?"

Watching the man collapse before his eyes, blood filling his vision, Qiao Xu clenched his teeth, barely able to stop his lips from trembling, tightly gripping his chest clothing, cold sweat pouring, utterly disheveled.

"I know… but what does Uncle mean by these words?"

He barely regained his composure: "What does it mean that Jin Chen won't come back?"

His guess was indeed correct; Qiao Xu thought, Jin Chen had only mentioned Third Uncle in front of him before, knowing what Third Uncle looked like.

So this uncle… wants to collude with the Gu Family to involve Jin Chen.

"If he obeys, perhaps he can still come back."

Jin Fu answered ambiguously, waving his hand to signal the bodyguards to drag the person away, then gesturing toward the open door.

"Go look around yourself; you'll be satisfied."

"……."

Qiao Xu lifted his already weakening legs, his palms almost scratched raw from his own picking, constantly rubbing the signal transmitter, yet firmly he did not press it down.

He absolutely could not retreat here.

Just one step away; he must hurry to find clues to Jin Chen's mother.

Qiao Xu was taken by two bodyguards to tour the underground casino; the layout remained a bewildering maze, deliberately intended to confuse his memory.

"I want to go to that hall; it has the most people, the liveliest."

Looking at the crowded basic hall, Qiao Xu already had an idea in mind, gritting his teeth to cheer himself up.

He entered with the bodyguards, squatted in the most crowded spot, and threw away the watch he had brought.

"Whose dropped watch is this, worth several million?"

Qiao Xu shouted while squatting, and immediately people gathered around.

Instantly they scattered him and the bodyguards; Qiao Xu hadn't even caught his breath before he hurriedly bent and ran.

When he was brought here yesterday, he had already made a mark on the pillar of one wall.

Although the layout just now twisted and turned, it ultimately amounted to only a few places.

Qiao Xu followed the route from his memory all the way, and along the way he also grabbed an outer garment.

When encountering patrolling groups of bodyguards, he hurriedly avoided them; if it was just a lone one, he would strike.

Although he certainly couldn't compare to Jin Chen, as the heir of a wealthy family he still needed to learn basic self-defense and boxing.

Qiao Xu himself didn't know how many places he had searched, finally finding a corridor guarded by multiple checkpoints.

Crouched in the wall corner, peeking secretly, he had a premonition that inside was surely the thing they could use to threaten Jin Chen.

Don't be afraid; you've already come this far.

Qiao Xu clenched his fists, silently comforted himself, then repeated his trick, removing the locator that Jin Fu had placed on him, detected by the shield.

He tapped the crystal element of the shield, then mustered his strength and threw it toward the opposite side of the corridor.

"What sound!"

The guards immediately became alert, pressed the communicator: "Someone intruded?"

"Come quickly for backup; the person we were to kidnap is missing!"

From the opposite side came panicked voices; they certainly didn't want to leave their lives here at the hands of Second Master Jin.

Indeed, it was gained without any effort.

Qiao Xu quietly patted his chest; seeing that two groups had already left, he followed their path feeling his way.

Such terrain could trap him, and of course it could also confuse these guards.

Qiao Xu took each step carefully, gradually suppressing his fear deep inside.

At this moment he finally understood how dangerous Jin Chen's previous mission had been; it would be a scene a hundred times worse than this situation.

Using the terrain to create a confusing detour, Qiao Xu finally managed to get into the guarded place as he wished, and at the same time pressed the shield to prevent any surveillance inside.

The lighting here is ample; in every direction you see uniformly high-transparency glass and white experimental racks.

On one experimental rack something is wrapped in black-and-yellow sealing tape, with a … bullet protected by crystal equipment on it.

Qiao Xu stared dubiously at that bullet; I also took a look, trying to find any explanation about it.

Everything else looks ordinary; only this bullet being so carefully protected surely indicates a problem.

But even if Qiao Xu had never come into contact with such things before, he knows he definitely cannot touch it directly with his hand.

He then shifted his gaze elsewhere; under the cabinet holding the crystal equipment there is also a drawer, obviously having been rummaged through.

Just as he took a light step and ran over, he already heard movement outside; Qiao Xu took a few deep breaths and sped up.

When he opened the drawer, Qiao Xu was genuinely stunned.

What … is all this.

These photos look like they have been around for some years; a few of them are of Jin Cheng as a child and a beautiful woman.

Qiao Xu guessed this might be Jin Chen's Mother, but … why would there also be a joint photo of this beautiful woman and that vicious uncle?

What is their relationship then?

Qiao Xu was left completely confused by these chaotic photos.

However, there was no time to think further; he hastily glanced at a few photos and continued to search inside.

There is also a letter.
