Chapter 59

There was no emotion in his eyes. When he looked over, he was calm and composed.

So calm it was like a pool of dead water.

“You’re choosing the Dragon King Token?”

Wang Xiao’s body jolted. If that was the case, then he had no cards left to play.

He had staked everything on Bo Suihan being emotional and loyal, on even a hero having a hard time getting past a beauty.

But he never expected the other man not only to avoid flying into a rage for the sake of a beauty, but to make the sensible choice instead.

“No, I mean I’ll give you the Dragon King Token. Return the person.”

Just when both sides seemed to have reached the end of the road, Bo Suihan spoke.

The moment those words landed, a wave of gasps rippled through the crowd.

Even the adjutant standing behind him with an umbrella was stunned.

“Boss, what did you say? You’re going to trade tens of thousands of brothers for one man?”

Bo Suihan stood with his back to him and nodded.

Hope flared back up in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

At that moment, he looked like a little lap dog with someone backing him up, his emotions surging sky-high. He laughed triumphantly without restraint.

“Bo Suihan, Bo Suihan, you’ve finally had your day! So what if you’re the best in the world and unmatched under heaven? Aren’t you still going to be trapped by love and sacrifice yourself for it?” As he spoke, he held out his hand and shouted as if it were only natural, “Hand over the Dragon King Token.”

At those words, Bo Suihan stepped forward with the token in hand.

But after seeing his hidden move, Wang Xiao couldn’t figure out what he was really up to, and he didn’t want Bo Suihan coming straight at him like that.

So he immediately spoke up again.

“Wait. Take off your armor first. In case you’ve got a dagger on you, that’d be like the mantis stalking the cicada, only to be taken by a third party from behind.”

The soldiers around them actually couldn’t stand Wang Xiao’s petty behavior, but there was nothing they could do. Everyone was obeying the Dragon King Token.

So from beginning to end, no one dared move. They all stood in solemn silence and watched the scene unfold, while the alarm and patrols continued sounding nonstop.

Under everyone’s gaze, Bo Suihan was the first to throw off the outer layer of the Dragon King Robe, revealing the plain white shirt underneath.

“I don’t need to take off my pants too, do I?”

Even now, Bo Suihan still had the leisure to joke.

After speaking, he even glanced toward Wu Xiaojiu and lifted the Dragon King Token in his hand toward him.

It was as if he was trying to reassure Wu Xiaojiu not to be afraid.

At that moment, Wu Xiaojiu was already unable to speak.

Their eyes were locked together like glue. Bo Suihan raised both hands and walked slowly toward Wang Xiao.

The situation and atmosphere were completely different from what Qi Jiao had expected, and he started to panic.

He hurried over to Wu Xiaojiu and leaned close to his ear.

“I know everything I’m saying now is useless, but don’t go with him, okay? The antidote for your sister is in my hands. Bo Suihan doesn’t actually have good intentions.”

He was truly panicking now, because Wu Xiaojiu’s gaze was clearly wrong.

Qi Jiao started regretting joining Wang Xiao’s plan.

Seeing that Wu Xiaojiu still hadn’t said anything after a long time, he anxiously gripped the chair arm and shook it frantically.

“This shouldn’t be happening. It can’t be happening! This isn’t what we agreed on at all, Wang Xiao!”

Bo Suihan had already reached the three of them.

The Dragon King Token, held high in the air, was slowly lowered. Wang Xiao was just about to reach out for it when Qi Jiao flew at him like a cannonball and knocked him to the ground.

He clamped both hands tightly around Wang Xiao’s throat, tears rolling down in big drops as he sobbed and shouted in fury.

“You’ve gotten what you wanted, so what am I? Since helping anyone is helping, why should I help you?”

The twist came so suddenly that no one had expected Qi Jiao to lose his mind halfway through.

Pinned under him, Wang Xiao was choked so hard he spat foam from his mouth.

Bo Suihan seized the chance and quickly untied the ropes binding Wu Xiaojiu.
“And my sister too, but she was drugged. It seems like only Wang Xiao might have the antidote on him right now.”

Wu Xiaojiu’s limbs were bound so tightly they hurt. The places where the ropes had dug in were already red and had developed small blisters.

But he had no mind to worry about himself. He only wanted to force out his sister’s whereabouts.

“Qi Jiao! Let go of him! If you choke him to death, you’ll get shot too!”

They hurriedly pulled the two men apart.

Wang Xiao lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

“Is my sister still in that abandoned factory? Or did you separate her and lock her up somewhere else?”

There was only one person still conscious, so Wu Xiaojiu could only ask Qi Jiao.

But the moment Wu Yuting was mentioned, Qi Jiao’s face visibly changed.

He stammered for a long time, standing there and breathing hard for a while, as if he had finally recovered his strength.

Then he guiltily looked away.

“Wu Yuting was in the factory at first. Later, that bastard said it would be safer, so he handed her over to a woman I don’t know.”

“So now her whereabouts are unknown?”

Wu Xiaojiu’s voice shot up at once.

That factory had been abandoned for years, with weeds growing wild all around it. Anyone could tell it wasn’t a place decent people would ever go.

His sister had been drugged too. For all he knew, that woman might just have been some drifter from nearby. Wang Xiao was in no condition to wake up anytime soon.

If that woman had evil intentions, who knew what could happen to his sister.

Wu Xiaojiu was so furious he was practically exploding.

“Qi Jiao, are you insane? Did our family owe you something, or shortchange you somehow, that you had to do this to us?”

Qi Jiao shrank back under the scolding. He looked extremely ashamed now.

Just as they were all panicking, completely at a loss,

Bo Suihan’s phone rang.

At first, he had no intention of answering, but the calls kept coming one after another. In the end, he had no choice but to pick up.

The moment the call connected, a woman’s anxious voice came from the other end.

“Bo Suihan, were Wu Xiaojiu and his sister kidnapped?”

It was Feng Jiutian.

Bo Suihan frowned.

He was still wondering how she knew what was happening here,

when she immediately continued, “Wu Yuting is at my house right now. She doesn’t look to be in good shape, but she’s not missing any limbs. Hurry and come get her.”

The news hit like a bolt from the blue.

Wu Xiaojiu’s eyes lit up.

He couldn’t wait and immediately rushed toward the car.

Bo Suihan covered the phone with one hand and reached out with the other to grab him.

“How did Wu Yuting end up at your house?”

Feng Jiutian gave a light snort on the other end, and then another soft, delicate female voice came through.

“It’s me, Du Yue. I was the woman Wang Xiao handed that girl over to.”

“Du Yue? I don’t remember you. You know Feng Jiutian, but Wu Xiaojiu and I have nothing to do with you. How did you know Wu Yuting was the eldest daughter of the Wu Family?”

Bo Suihan was deeply suspicious by nature.

Even now, with everything ending happily, he still wanted to understand every link in the chain.

The woman on the other end laughed.

“Come to think of it, we really do have to thank you.”

That only left Bo Suihan even more baffled.

The woman continued, “Maybe you’ve already forgotten. Do you still remember that rainy day in this city, the hotel, and the woman?”

At that point, it became clear who Du Yue was.

Bo Suihan thanked them repeatedly over the phone. Before getting into the car, he gave the soldiers orders to disperse, then gripped the steering wheel and sped all the way to Feng Jiutian’s house.

He had just reached the villa district and parked the car.

Before he even got out,

he heard the crash of a vase shattering from inside Feng Jiutian’s villa.

At the same time came a woman’s shrill scream.
