73 Appearance

Shen Tianyun hid himself behind the large tree, his gaze fell upon the 2-storey high luxurious villa not far away from his position. An hour ago, Shen Tianyun went to another one of Hei Long's villa and found nothing there, not even a single shadow could be seen.

After exploring around the villa's vicinity for a while, Shen Tianyun came into a conclusion. Hei Long didn't hide anything in that place thus, he moved to this place, one of Hei Long's villas outskirts of the city.

When Shen Tianyun arrived here, he was surprised by the environment and location. This villa was located far away from the community. A narrow gravel road was the only means of accessing and exiting the villa's compound and it was connected to a sub-road that links it to other cities. it was located in such a desolate location, one would wonder why Hei Long would own a villa in such a place.

Under the illumination of moonlight, Shen Tianyun scoured the villa's surroundings and found that it was heavily guarded by well-trained guards. With his current movement technique, he was unsure whether he could sneak in without any of them notice.

Therefore, Shen Tianyun started to move around in search of the safest way to approach to the villa. It took him around 20 minutes to eventually find a way to get in. There was a big tree situated nearby the wall and aligned with the grand balcony. From his estimation, the distance between them was roughly around 10 meters, there was no way a normal human could possibly jump that far. This was probably a reason why this place had loosen guarded compared to the other places.

After climbing onto the tree, Shen Tianyun swept around the area once again. Upon seeing no one was around, he started to circulate his Spiritual Qi on his legs. He took a deep breath and immediately jumped off afterward.

Shen Tianyun's body shots like an arrow in the air and managed to perfectly landing on the balcony. The first thing he did was looking around in case there were some hidden CCTV around here. Surprisingly, he couldn't find any of them which made him started to frown.

Tap! Tap!

Suddenly, Shen Tianyun heard the sound of footsteps rang out from the room. He pushed his body against the wall and tried to peek into the room through the glass window. The first thing to come into his sight was a well-made mahogany desk with a comfortable-looking leather chair behind it. He immediately understood this should be the study room. It was no wonder why there was no CCTV around here, this Hei Long probably didn't want to film himself and turn it to the evidence to harm him in the future.

Shen Tianyun cast his gaze towards the tall figure who slowly walked to the desk, he immediately recognized this man, he was Hei Long. With a fine hairstyle that has been combed neatly, his face was quite different from what Shen Tianyun had seen in the photo as he resembled the typical lecherous uncle that you could find around the brothel. All in all, he didn't look like the boss of the underground gang at all.

"Boss Hei, where is the item?" At that moment, there was a man's voice rang out from the room. Shen Tianyun's expression changed drastically because he recognized this voice. With the angle from his position, he couldn't identify the owner of this voice to confirm his thoughts.

"Doctor Liu, I've told you before, the item will arrive here in the next week. There are some problems occurred when we try to transport it. You should understand it's not easy to move this item around." Hei Long replied earnestly.

When Shen Tianyun heard Hei Long mentioned another man's name, his face turned cold. This 'Doctor Liu' was no other than Liu Feiyan's father, Liu Wei. The suspicions in his mind grew further as he has always suspecting Liu Wei's actions in these past years.

Technically, as Shen Qingshan's best friend, Liu Wei shouldn't associate himself with Lin Ming. However, 5 years after Shen Qingshan's had died, Liu Wei suddenly befriended with Lin Ming as if he had forgotten the relationship between his best friend and Lin Ming completely.

Furthermore, Liu Wei didn't hesitate to continue his interaction with Lin Ming despite his wife, Fang Yulan had threatened him with a divorce. This was the reason why Fang Yulan always gave him a cold shoulder until now.

"I know, you want more money right?" Liu Wei said calmly, there was no agitation in his voice at all.

Hei Long's smile grew wider, "Haha, as expected, Doctor Liu. You are very straight forward!" He rubbed his hands and his eyes filled with greed, "That's right! If you give me more money, I can guarantee you the item will arrive this Friday." His voice brimmed with confidence.

"How much?" Liu Wei nonchalantly asked, as if he didn't care that Hei Long was trying to extort him for more money.

Hei Long lifted his fingers up, "2 million, with this 2 million my subordinates will move the item here without rest! Who knows, maybe you can even get the item by Friday."

Liu Wei didn't say anything further, he took out a checkbook and immediately wrote a number on it before he handed it over to Hei Long.

"Here, take it… Although I do not care about the money, but if you dare use this trick again, I will tell you this, you better run away as far as possible." Liu Wei's voice was very deep and contained a hint of killing intent, even Shen Tianyun on the outside was surprised about it. He never thought this kind-looking uncle Liu had this scary side to him.

A droplet of cold sweat appeared on Hei Long's forehead. He understood what Liu Wei wanted to tell him. Of course, Hei Long didn't have any fear towards Liu Wei at all. What he feared was the force behind Liu Wei, Liu family.

"How could I dare to play any trick on you, Doctor Liu? Hehe." Hei Long said with a forced smile.

Liu Wei stayed silent as he staring on Hei Long's face for a moment before he walked out of the room afterward.

After listening to the conversation, Shen Tianyun had a strong urge to barge in and ask this Hei Long about the item they were talking about but he had to hold himself back because he needed to wait for Liu Wei to get this item from Hei Long first. He might not find out Liu Wei's plan if he were to do anything on Hei Long now.

"Tsk, do you think it's easy to move a bomb around this country?" Hei Long clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction as he glared at the door.

Shen Tianyun, who was about to go back, stopped his tracks when he heard this. A short moment later, he sighed softly before jumped off the balcony and vanished into the darkness.

…

"Uncle Liu want to get a bomb?" Lin Xueyue asked with a rare frown on her face. There was no one around her at the fire exit beside her and Shen Tianyun.

Shen Tianyun nodded, "Mhm, this is quite troublesome." He could guess the reason behind Liu Wei's actions more or less. Even though he wasn't a hundred percent sure about it, it still made sense if he were to think Liu Wei wanted to avenge his best friend.

"If we following this direction, why Uncle Liu wants to do it now? Why he has to wait for a decade?" This was the only question that struck in Shen Tianyun's mind.

Lin Xueyue thought for a moment before she said softly, "Feiyan."

Shen Tianyun was puzzled as he looked at her questioningly.

"It's because of Feiyan. This year Feiyan already reach 18 years old, it is the legal age to get married and able to receive the inheritance. If I guess correctly, Uncle Liu should finish his will and left it behind in case something happen to him." Lin Xueyue explained further, "Also, he sees you and Feiyan become a couple so he probably doesn't have any regret left anymore. That's why he choose this time to do it."

A silence descended, both of them had a frown on their faces. They tried to find other explanations about this matter but they couldn't come out with anything new in the end.

"We still lack of information. Right now, I can't figure out how Uncle Liu is going to use that bomb. He should know about Dugu Xiao, right? There is no way for him to get closer or to lure Lin Ming into the place." Shen Tianyun's brows knitted, he said further, "We also can't be sure about his true intention. Maybe he won't have any thought about revenge at all, who knows."

Lin Xueyue was still silent indicating she was pretty much agreed with Shen Tianyun. As for both of them never trusted in friendships between Liu Wei and Shen Qingshan, more precisely, they never trusted in any relationships in general in the first place thus, it was normal for them to be cautious. Even blood-related siblings could kill each other, what was the friendships between 2 people counted for?

Shen Tianyun massaged his temples, "Let's not think about it for now. We still have some time to figure it out. Let's go, Yue'er. I want to eat some steaks." After casting the problem aside, both of them gradually walked out of the fire exit and headed towards the school gate.

…

Today, Shen Tianyun found an excuse to send Liu Feiyan away to the restaurant after school has finished for the day. Walked side by side, hand in hand, Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue slowly approached the school gate. Normally, both of them didn't care about the countless gazes surrounding them at all. However, at this moment, Shen Tianyun seemed to notice the abnormality when he realized those gazes didn't fall directly on them but towards the school gate.

Following the direction, Shen Tianyun saw a red Ferrari parked in front of the school gate. Even though he didn't know about the car much, he could see that this car should be a new model, perhaps, it was newly released this year.

Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue didn't care about it much as they had plenty of luxurious cars in their previous life. This 5 million or so car couldn't get their attention at all. When both of them were about to walk past the car, suddenly, there was a woman stepped out of the car and blocking their path.

"Finally, I found you, Mister Shen Tianyun." The woman said. She had a sweet and charming voice that made one feel good just from listening to it.

Gazed upon this sunglasses wearing woman in front of him, a sense of familiarity aborning in Shen Tianyun's mind. She had perfect and lustrous long black hair. Her gorgeous hair was full of vitality as it flowed down to the small of her back, not a single strand was out of place.

Even though she had wore a grey-colored hoodie. It couldn't hide her exquisite body that was perfectly balanced, enough to arouse sexual desire from any man in this world. A skinny jeans were perfectly fitted her legs, revealed her long and perfect shape of her legs. It made her looks very tall.

Without taking her sunglasses off, Shen Tianyun recognized her in a second later. This woman in front of him was the current number one superstar, Su Meiyin.

"You are?" Despite already recognized her identity, Shen Tianyun still asked the question.

Su Meiyin's mouth curved up, she took off her sunglasses exposed her mesmerizing beauty face before she offered her hand, "Hello, my name is Su Meiyin."

『Congratulation to the host! You have found the second maiden, Miss Su Meiyin! 』 At this moment, the system sent out a notification in Shen Tianyun's mind.

Shen Tianyun was stunned, not because Su Meiyin's heavenly beauty, it was because he didn't expect to meet the second maiden out of nowhere like this. It took him full 5 seconds before he recovered his composure and shook hands with her.

"It's my pleasure to meet you here, Miss Su. My name is Shen Tianyun. I don't what business do you have with me?" Shen Tianyun asked calmly. Feeling the superstar's soft hand that countless people have yearned for, he didn't flinch at all.

However, Shen Tianyun's blank moment in Su Meiyin's eyes was equal to him has been shocking by her appearance. That was why her smile grew wider as if she had discovered something interesting. On the contrary, Lin Xueyue never believed Shen Tianyun would stun by Su Meiyin's appearance but rather he probably has something in his mind.

After releasing Shen Tianyun's hand, Su Meiyin didn't answer his question right away. She turned to look at Lin Xueyue, "Oh my! Isn't this the famous Princess Lin Xueyue? I never thought I will meet you here!" She said excitedly and didn't sound pretentious at all

Lin Xueyue smiled faintly, "That word is more suitable for you, Miss Su. You are the number one superstar, who else could be famous than you?"

Su Meiyin shook her head, "You are too humble. In Beijing, who doesn't recognize your beauty?" She then turned to Shen Tianyun and said further, "Mister Shen, I don't know what method you use to capture her heart. You are so lucky! Oh, I forgot that you always stay in this city, you probably don't know much about your sweetheart's reputation in Beijing. You know, every man there recognized her as the number one beauty!"

Shen Tianyun was unperturbed, he realized something from Su Meiyin's words. First, this Su Meiyin had already investigated his background, that was why she knew about his relationship with Lin Xueyue and knowing he has always been in this city.

Furthermore, she didn't seem to surprise about his relationship with Lin Xueyue at all, how could a mere student from the slum managed to captured Lin Xueyue's heart? This kind of story probably happened in fiction only.

Shen Tianyun won't deny that there was also a possibility that she didn't investigate anything on him but to learn from Mo Yuyan. However, his instinct told him it was inclined to the former.

Second, this woman didn't seem to look for him to work with. It more like she wanted to know him. Of course, Shen Tianyun didn't think that she has fallen in love with him. It was just he couldn't figure out the reason behind it yet.

"I know, not only she is the number one beauty in Beijing. For me, she is the number one beauty in this world." Shen Tianyun said with a smile while looking at Lin Xueyue lovingly.

Su Meiyin covered her mouth and started to giggle, "Hehe, you surely don't hold back at all."

Shen Tianyun shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, I don't think the number one superstar like yourself would come here to flattering my girlfriend right? I think we should get into the business as soon as possible. Look around you." While he saying this, the people around were looked at Su Meiyin curiously. It was because Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue had blocked their views, they couldn't get a clear view on Su Meiyin.

Su Meiyin put her sunglasses back on, "Can we find somewhere to talk in private? I have something very important to discuss with you… Of course, Princess Lin can come with us too."

Shen Tianyun glanced at Lin Xueyue before he nodded, "Sure, how about my small coffee shop?"
