AST 1997 - Qing Ci Captured! Threats (1/2)

Though he might not seem like it from the outside, internally, Qing Shui was very furious. He despised this kind of people the most. There was a saying: ‘one shall not involve the family members in their personal affairs’. Another thing was that if the life of the people close to him were threatened or put in danger, Qing Shui would definitely make them suffer.

To people like this, Qing Shui would eliminate them immediately as soon as he met them.

As of now, Qing Shui was also feeling a bit helpless. He could only wait for the enemy to begin their moves. For the time being, the enemies were the ones who had the initiatives. He had yet to hear anything from the detective bees. However, Qing Shui knew that he would definitely receive something soon. Hence, he wasn’t really worried about that. The only thing he was the most concerned about was whether or not the enemies would lay their hands on Little Mo. However, chances of this happening were relatively low.

Qing Ci, on the other hand, was feeling very anxious. However, she chose to remain silent. She didn’t want her master to worry. But at the same time, she was also worried about her own child.

For the time being, Qing Shui had stopped letting Qing Ci treat the patient’s illnesses. She wasn’t in the mood to do so anyway.

The detective bees returned after two days. They had pinpointed a rough area where Little Mo might be at. At the same time, Qing Ci also received a letter. The content of the letter was very straightforward. It was simply telling her that her son was in their hands. If she wanted her son back, she must stay quiet and head to the Jade Fragrant Restaurant alone.

Qing Ci was holding the letter, thinking about the things which Qing Shui had said to her before. She was wondering if she should tell Qing Shui, even though the letter instructed her to stay alone and remain silent about it. She was at a loss at the moment.

Maybe because she was now at Divine Grade and her ability to put her strength to use had greatly surpassed the existences a lot more powerful than herself that in the end, she decided to go alone.

Jade Fragrant Restaurant!

Qing Ci went to Jade Fragrant Restaurant alone but she couldn’t find the person whom she was looking for. Soon after noticing Qing Ci’s presence, a person came out, “Hello, young lady. Please come here.”

“You are?” Qing Ci was feeling doubtful and asked.

“I am taking you to see a person.” That person replied.

This was a middle-aged man. He looked very normal.

Qing Ci clenched her teeth. Reminded of the past two days when she hadn’t been able to see her son, she immediately followed the man.

When Qing Ci and the man entered a room, the owner of the Jade Fragrant Restaurant happened to see it from her room when she was looking out. She was also able to recognize the room. She immediately thought of Qing Shui. Coincidentally, for the past few days, she had also been hearing things about Qing Ci losing her son.

While all that was going through her mind, the woman called out to a person and gave him a few instructions. After that, the person left swiftly.

By the time Qing Shui arrived at Jade Fragrant Restaurant, the room was already empty. The owner of Jade Fragrant Restaurant was also very shocked to see that. Instead of walking out of the room, they had used a unique method to leave the place while making sure that they didn’t destroy anything in it.

“Sorry. I shouldn’t have been so careless and should have stopped her.” The owner of Jade Fragrant Palace said with a guilty tone.

“Don’t worry about it. In fact, I should thank you instead for telling me about it. If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t have found out about it even until now. I have told the brat before that she must inform me about everything that has happened. I have never thought that in the end, she would still come alone.” Qing Shui was a bit upset.

“Would you like me to help you investigate into this matter?” The owner of Jade Fragrant Restaurant offered her help.

“That’d be great!” Qing Shui accepted happily.

Qing Shui’s face was filled with surprises, “Well then, I am sorry for troubling you. I will definitely repay you handsomely once I find Ci`Er.”

The owner of Jade Fragrant Restaurant waved her hand, “You are welcome.”

Qing Shui waited here while the owner of Jade Fragrant Restaurant left the area temporarily.

After 2 hours, they had managed to gather some information. From here, Qing Shui was more or less able to figure out that the Jade Fragrant Restaurant was an existence similar to the detectives who made investigations and tried to look for more information. There was a high chance for them to have a huge force supporting them from the back. Their ability to gain new information was nothing to be underestimated.

The woman mentioned a location. When Qing Shui saw the location on the map, he already knew that it was the right place. The place which the detective bees from before had pinpointed was somewhere near here. However, due to some unknown reason, the bees were unable to pinpoint the exact location it was at. In fact, it even missed certain parts of the location.

“I will head there first! Thanks for your help!” Qing Shui left immediately as soon as he finished speaking.

“Mister Qing, please hold your steps.”

Qing Shui looked at her confused.

“Do you know where the place is?”

“No, I don’t.”
