Chapter 626 It Wasn’t So Simple

Ziyue and Ke changed before they left together.

Ziyue still remembered the address. Since Ke had said she wanted to send Ziyue halfway, Ziyue looked up the route and found an address in the middle where Ke let her off.

She switched cabs twice or thrice before arriving at the note's address.

It was a slightly old residential area with an intense marketplace atmosphere.

Because the district wasn't significantly developed, the people there rarely saw unfamiliar faces. As Ziyue walked on the street with foreign features, it attracted the attention of many.

Ziyue was on alert and wore the hat she had prepared before she arrived at the house.

The house was slightly old, but she could tell it had been maintained well. It felt archaic yet comforting.

The door was half-open, and no one was at the door. When Ziyue looked in through the cracks of the doors, she didn't see anyone.

She walked around to the back of the house and found a side door.

She looked around and only went in when she confirmed no one was around.

She walked through the door quietly and arrived in the backyard after walking through a short corridor.

Although it was a backyard, the area was small.

Ziyue looked around. The house was quiet and had no noise at all. She furrowed her brows slightly and slowly walked in as she leaned against the wall.

Before coming, she had imagined if Enyang was possibly here.

But since Shichu could get someone to write Ziyue the address and wanted her to come, she intuitively felt that he must have been in a safe environment.

She had an intuition that Shichu wouldn't harm her no matter what.

She walked to the lounge, and everything was still silent.

At that moment, voices came from upstairs. They were speaking a foreign language.

Ziyue backed away along the wall before she found a corner and hid.

A young man and woman were talking, and they seemed to be a couple from their mannerisms.

They walked to the door as they talked.

Ziyue only came out when they were at the door. After they left, Ziyue looked upstairs and became less confident.

It had been over a week since Shichu had given her the note through other people. She was unsure if

he was still there.

But since she was already here, she had to look around.

Thinking about that, she raised her feet and walked up the stairs.

There were three levels to the house, along with an attic.

The second and third floors were quiet, so Ziyue arrived at the loft.

The room in the attic looked small, and the door was closed with a lock on it.

Ziyue reached out and hesitated momentarily before removing the lock, but she didn't dare to open the door at once.

She leaned forward slightly and put her ear against the door carefully, wanting to hear movement inside.

She listened with rapt attention. It seemed like… there was some movement inside…

'Creak'

Someone suddenly opened the door from the inside, and Ziyue had an unsteady center of gravity, so she fell inside head first.

At that moment, she was so nervous that her heart almost leaped out of her chest.

She didn't fall on the floor but into a warm embrace.

Her body stiffened as she tried to get up when she heard a familiar voice above her head.

"It's me."

Ziyue was suddenly startled. She raised her head, astonished, to look at the person speaking.

"Shi… It's you!" She almost called out the once familiar name.

In front of her was none other than Lu Shichu.

The two stood at the door and were silent.

It had been a long time since what happened at the villa. When Ziyue looked at the thin Shichu before her, it seemed like it had happened a lifetime ago.

He was really still alive.

After a long time, Shichu spoke first. "Come in. Don't stand at the door."

He stepped aside, and Ziyue's field of vision widened. She saw the room's display.

The room was tiny and looked simple because there wasn't much inside. At this time, she smelled medicinal fumes.

As she walked in, Shichu shut the door behind her.

The room had a simple layout. A bed, desk, and small bookshelf. There were also a few boxes of mineral water.

Shichu turned and took a bottle of mineral water. He opened it before he handed it to her.

He had a smile on his face, along with his usual gentle expression. His voice was slightly apologetic. "I only have this. If you would like something else, there's a bar on the second floor. They should have left, so I could make you a glass of juice."

Ziyue shook her head and pursed the corners of her mouth. She took the mineral water from him and had a sip. "This is good."

After that, she turned her head to the side. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

She felt an unspeakable sadness as she looked at Shichu like that.

"They kept advising me to leave, but I knew you would come to see me." Shichu sat down in front of her.

He knew that Ziyue wouldn't feel at ease before she saw him alive.

He could be heartless to everyone except Ziyue.

Ziyue got herself together and turned to look at him. "How are you feeling?"

He was thin and had a pale complexion as he stayed in such a narrow room. As he sat before her, she

felt that Shichu's condition had worsened. But she couldn't help but feel slightly worried as she looked at him like that.

"I'm fine. Have you forgotten that there's a K7 team in Gricy? They just haven't observed my gunshot wound yet." Shichu's tone was relaxed.

He realized he was a lot more at ease after being exposed. He could comfortably bring up Gricy in front of Ziyue. Although it made him ashamed, he had already done it. Nothing could be changed, and he had given up slightly.

Ziyue wasn't dumb. Shichu still looked weak. He hadn't been recovering well, but she wouldn't ask further. This was her last sign of respect for him.

When he brought up Gricy, some questions were unavoidable.

"Why did you do those things?"

Shichu raised his head to look at Ziyue when he heard her voice.

There was confusion, bewilderment, and disbelief in her eyes.

He couldn't help but silently laugh at himself. Does Ziyue still find it hard to believe?

During this recuperation period, he often wondered why everything had happened but didn't have an answer.

"When I was studying overseas, those in Gricy had already found me. At first, they used my parents'

safety to threaten me, so I could only concede. After some time, I did so many bad things that it didn't affect my conscience anymore. Those achievements and power weren't something an ordinary doctor could possess."

Shichu spoke calmly, but Ziyue's hand started to hurt from clenching it. "You…"

Ziyue didn't know what to say. When his parents were threatened, what else could he do as their son except for surrender when met with such a powerful enemy?

Shichu smiled when he saw her silent.

It wasn't so simple.

His results had always been exceptional when he studied overseas, and he received various awards at school. His reputation preceded him before graduating, but he never imagined Gricy would have their eye on him.

Gricy had taken great pains. Not only did they use his parents to threaten him, they even found out about Ziyue.

Otherwise, how could he not have looked for Ziyue when he was overseas for so many years?
