Chapter 1124 - The Forbidden Rose Song (34)
Chapter 1124: The Forbidden Rose Song (34)
The normal members of the World Salvation Society had a one-way communication method with their superiors, but the higher authorities definitely had a place that they used as their base.
Chu Yue asked his men to search around, but nothing was found.
“There is one person that knows.”
Ming Shu looked at Chu Yue.
…
Chu Hui brought Ming Shu to his house. As the male protagonist, he had to stay somewhere… Although, in actual fact, it looked more like a villa.
Of course, the house was used to represent how wealthy he was. Hence, it didn’t matter if it was a real castle or not.
“Master.”
A clean-looking butler welcomed them.
Chu Yue only had one butler to take care of his entire villa.
“Where is Ying Xiu?”
“He should be asleep. Should I wake Mr. Ying up?”
“Yes.”
The butler bowed and left.
“Have a seat.” Chu Yue pointed to the sofa in the living room. He passed Ming Shu some blood and asked, “Su Mian, what do you want to drink?”
Su Mian maintained his etiquette. “Anything is fine.”
Chu Yue nodded. He turned and took a bottle of red wine.
“Mr. Chu, are you looking for me?”
A man walked toward them with the butler beside him. He just woke up so he was still wearing his pajamas and his hair was a mess. He looked sleepy.
“It’s you!”
Before Chu Yue could say anything, the man got excited. He hastened his pace. “Miss Fu Yu, I have been wanting to thank you for what happened last time.”
Ming Shu bit her straw. “Who are you?”
Ying Xiu: “…”
“It’s me.” Ying Xiu covered his head, revealing only his eyes. “I brought you into the auction.”
Ming Shu was enlightened. “Clothes make the man. After you changed your appearance, you look like a human.”
Ying Xiu: “…” Are you complimenting me or scolding me?
Chu Yue asked Ying Xiu to sit down. “He is Ying Xiu. You all have met before so I will not be introducing him.”
Chu Yue told them that he met Ying Xiu the day after the auction and saved them coincidentally.
Chu Yue didn’t tell them the details, but if the male protagonist brought them back, it meant that they were useful.
“Fine, stop your bullshit. Tong Ye will die soon.” Ming Shu looked at Ying Xiu. “Do you know where the base of the World Salvation Society is?”
Ying Xiu froze.
He looked at Chu Yue before looking down. “I’m not sure.”
Ming Shu glared at Chu Yue. You snatched my little snack and now, you are making a fool out of me? Don’t think that just because you are the male protagonist, I will not do anything to you.
Chu Yue signaled Ming Shu to continue listening.
Ying Xiu hesitated for a moment before saying unwillingly, “Cecil… she might know. But I don’t know if she will tell you.”
“Why?”
Ying Xiu gave a bitter smile. “Cecil… the person she likes is in the organization.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. She thought that Ying Xiu and Cecil were together.
Ying Xiu said softly, “If I can, I want to destroy the World Salvation Society too. However, I can’t. I don’t dare to do it…”
Ming Shu felt something heavy leaning on her shoulder. She caught Su Mian and let him rest on her legs. Su Mian woke up in a shock. He looked at Ming Shu with a confused expression.
“It’s okay. Go and sleep.”
“I…” Su Mian struggled to get up.
“Sleep.” Ming Shu pressed him down. Su Mian gave up resisting and buried his head in Ming Shu’s arms.
They didn’t need to sleep, but Su Mian had to rest.
Chu Yue pointed upstairs. Ming Shu shook her head. She was worried about leaving Su Mian alone in an unfamiliar place.
She covered Su Mian with a blanket and asked Ying Xiu to continue.
Ying Xiu looked at Su Mian with envy.
“I have never seen the person that Cecil likes. I think that he is a vampire who brought her up. However, something happened and Cecil left this person. She was hunted by other vampires. I met her at that time.”
Ying Xiu skipped the details of how Cecil interacted with him. He just said that Cecil disliked him at the start because he was a human.
Cecil knew very few things about the human world. She was unable to survive on her own.
Hence, she had no choice but to rely on Ying Xiu. After going through thick and thin together, they started depending on each other.
Before he met Cecil, Ying Xiu was just a student who graduated from university. He found a good job with the help of his family and had a routine working lifestyle.
He learned his fighting skills after he met Cecil.
“How long have you known Cecil?”
Ying Xiu wiped his face. He looked time-worn. “Ten years. A long time ago, we left this place. However, one day, Cecil suddenly wanted to come back. I couldn’t do anything so I came back with her.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “So Cecil was from the World Salvation Society?”
“The person that Cecil likes… has a high position in the World Salvation Society.” Ying Xiu paused. “I heard her mentioning the World Salvation Society several times.”
“Can I find Cecil?”
“She will not tell you.” Ying Xiu didn’t reject Ming Shu. However, he believed in his prediction.
He had interacted with her for ten years. He knew how much she loved that vampire.
He wished that the vampire would disappear, but he knew that Cecil would be hurt… He didn’t know what he should do.
Since it was already midnight, Ming Shu didn’t go and find Cecil immediately.
Ying Xiu told them that he would bring Cecil over tomorrow morning.
Tong Ye was kidnapped by the World Salvation Society so that they could use him to threaten Ming Shu. Hence, he should be safe for now.
She didn’t know where the base was and the only person who knew might not say. Thus, there was no use in being anxious.
After Ying Xiu left, Chu Hui put down the cup in his hand. “The vampire said something about Su Mian. What is wrong with him?”
“I don’t know.” Ming Shu lowered her head and looked at Su Mian. Half of his face was revealed. “If anyone dares to touch him, I will kill them.”
“You really like him.”
Ming Shu smiled and didn’t reply.
The two of them sat on the sofa until dawn arrived.
At 7 AM, Chu Yue went up to make a call.
“Help me say hi to my little snack.”
Chu Yue: “…”
…
Around 8 PM, Ying Xiu brought Cecil over. Cecil was even more beautiful now. She looked like a doll. Her face was enough to make people like her.
Just like what Ying Xiu said, Cecil didn’t tell them anything about the World Salvation Society.
If this was their enemy, they could tie her up and question her.
However, she wasn’t.
Ming Shu waited for Cecil to provoke her, but Cecil maintained her etiquette till the end. She was gentle and polite. She didn’t even glare at her.
“Su Mian, do you think that I should beat her up?” Ming Shu looked at Su Mian and whispered to him.
“Who?” Su Mian looked at the two people opposite them.
“Cecil.”
“Shall I hold someone back?”
Su Mian expressed that he was happy to help her.
