Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 61 Chase
Just then, a sound came from the air—the sound of birds flapping their wings.

"An owl?" Qiaoqiao said in surprise. "That's strange. This post office has been closed for a long time. How come people are still delivering mail?"

As a very old owl flew over and slowly landed, Qiaoqiao's expression became increasingly puzzled.

This place has been vacant for a long time, not just in the last year or two.

Even if some people didn't know at first, it's unlikely that they would still be sending letters now, right?

Or perhaps the owl wasn't there to deliver a message, but just happened to be passing by?
But seeing the letter tied to the owl's leg, it was clear that it had come for this post office.

Su Yu's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, the owl flew down onto his left arm.

Su Yu casually took the letter from the owl's leg. There were only three words on the cover: "To Su Yu".

It was not specified who delivered it.

Qiaoqiao also saw the three words above and knew that the owl was not used by people from afar to deliver letters, but rather that someone knew they had come here and specially used this old method of delivery to send a letter to Su Yu.

Moreover, the other party probably knew that Su Yu trusted her, so even though they used such an old delivery method, they didn't intend to avoid her.

Knowing that something was strange about this matter, and that the letter probably contained a secret, Qiaoqiao did not go over. Instead, she stood still, waved her hand, and signaled the owl to fly over to her.

She had some snacks in her pocket, just enough to feed the old owl.

Su Yu held the letter, but before he could open it, his vision suddenly blurred and a buzzing sound rang out.

This time, the system suddenly reacted.

A side quest notification suddenly popped up.

[Dealing with being hunted down]

The words were written in blood-red letters, accompanied by large exclamation marks.

The sudden appearance of this side quest clearly serves as a warning that his current situation is dangerous.

The moment the side quest notification appeared, a bone-chilling cold enveloped Su Yu.

As if instinct was giving him a warning, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Is there something wrong with this letter?

No, it was the content of this letter that triggered the system's response!

Click to view the details.

"Your investigation and discovery of the bloodline have alerted the mastermind, who has sent people to hunt you down!"

It was all in red, almost black.

Su Yu wiped away his cold sweat. According to his design, this was an unstoppable enemy, at least for the time being!

After several moments of hesitation, I unfolded the letter, quickly read it through, and discovered that the amount of information hidden within was truly enormous.

This letter was delivered by Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng simply said that he used this method of delivery to Su Yu because he knew about the relationship between the Cheng family and him, and that the Cheng family had an empty private post office.

If the Cheng family's daughter received the letter when it was delivered, then the time Su Yu received the letter would not differ much from the time it was delivered.

If the Cheng family's daughter is not home when his letter arrives, it will wait a day.

If no one is around after a day, the letter will be delivered elsewhere by an owl. Although it will still reach Su Yu, the delivery time may be delayed by ten days.

Su Yu looked at the letter in his hand. Perhaps this was a form of luck. Xu Cheng delivered the letter not because he saw him and Qiaoqiao coming, but simply because he knew that the Cheng family owned an empty private post office.

And then, coincidentally, he and Qiaoqiao arrived.

This letter was a warning from Xu Cheng.

Su Yu looked at it again. Xu Chengxin not only gave him a warning, telling him to be careful, but also gave him a nearby address. The address looked ordinary and was not far from here.

Su Yu suspected that Xu Cheng had left something there.

The reason for not using other methods to deliver the letter to him was that other methods could not guarantee safety.

"Qiaoqiao, you go home first. I need to go somewhere." Su Yu said to Qiaoqiao, holding the letter in his hand. But this time, Qiaoqiao just looked at him intently and said, "I'll go with you."

Her tone was calm, but her demeanor clearly indicated that she had no intention of compromising.

Qiaoqiao rarely showed him such an expression; she looked calm, but her eyes held a hint of pleading.

If you look closely, you might find a hint of sadness hidden within.

Such a look appeared more than once in his memories before awakening.

That was the look that only an adult Qiaoqiao would have. The fact that the young Qiaoqiao had such a look made it hard for Su Yu not to think deeply about the dream she had mentioned before.

Did that dream have such a profound impact on her?

Although this means that whether she is a teenager or an adult, she is still his Qiaoqiao, Su Yu can't help but feel a little heartache for her.

Su Yu didn't send her home because he didn't trust her; he just didn't want her to take any risks with him.

But it was clear that she had realized his intentions and had resisted.

After a brief standoff, Su Yu finally gave in under her gaze: "Then let's go together."

He didn't tell her who delivered the letter he received, and Qiaoqiao didn't ask either.

The two of them left the empty courtyard together and walked for a while until they arrived at the place mentioned in the letter.

Here stands an old tree that is almost dead, and in one of its hollows lies what Su Yu wants to obtain.

It was a file folder. After taking out the contents and looking at only a few pages, Su Yu's expression turned serious. He put the folder back and placed it directly into his pocket.

"Go back first."

On the way back, Su Yu briefly explained to Qiaoqiao what it was.

Now that Qiaoqiao has come along, there's no need to keep some things from her any longer.

Moreover, he has already obtained some of the things he currently desires most.

He had indeed underestimated Xu Cheng. Although the boss had him under control, Xu Cheng was still a force to be reckoned with.

The boss has underestimated this person, both in the past and now.

Do they really think that by controlling Xu Cheng, they can treat him like a lowly henchman and use him at will?
When pushed to the limit, even a "small fry" like Xu Cheng can cause a boss's long-term efforts to go to waste.

The folder contained a lot of information about the boss and his "business" dealings with certain people, including some of the schemes he set up against the Song family. Although it wasn't very explicit, any intelligent person could see the boss's scheming and ill intentions in it.

With this evidence, it will be easier to persuade Song Qiongyao's father.

Moreover, with this information and his improved strength, Su Yu has more leverage and can accomplish more.

However, the first step is to persuade Song Qiongyao's father to send a fleet out to sea.

With the information they provided, they shouldn't be forced to refuse.

The best course of action for myself is to go to sea with the fleet and rely on its strength to defend against the pursuit, rather than relying on my own strength.

Of course, even if we provide the information, we can't provide it all. Let's do it in two steps—for simple persuasion, the old ledgers and some of Xu Cheng's information from this time will suffice.

Su Yu silently pondered, then divided the documents in the file bag into two halves.

Two-story building facing the street - reception room

Su Yu and Qiao Qiao had just returned when they saw that the reception room was activated and there were people inside.

Traditionally, the reception room features a black marble fireplace, two crystal chandeliers hanging from the mahogany ceiling, and a wool carpet on the floor. The room is comfortably furnished with sofas and has a faint tobacco scent, almost masked by incense and delicate perfume.

The middle-aged man in a black suit was speaking to Song Qiongyao, the daughter of the Song family, with his head down.

As soon as Su Yu arrived, Cheng Shenxing looked up in surprise, as if he had sensed something.

“Mr. Cheng, I had a very special feeling while meditating today.” As soon as Su Yu entered, he bowed earnestly, but in his heart he wondered—Mr. Cheng reacted as soon as he saw me, did he notice immediately?
Professionals are truly terrifying.
