Chapter 580 - No lack of beauties in heavens

Translator: Thyaeria

As a strand of sunshine shone on Su Tao’s face, he forced his eyes open and glanced at the source of the light. He saw a silhouette moving around with a gentle smile.

“Looks like I’m still alive. Hell definitely doesn’t have such a beauty!” Su Tao smiled.

“Mister, this is not hell, but heaven.” The woman rejoiced when she saw that Su Tao regained his consciousness.

He was unconscious on the bed for over twenty hours after a bullet hit his chest. The bullet was only a few millimetres away from the heart, but fortunately, Yue Zun’s surgery skill as a National Healer was perfect and managed to snatch Su Tao’s life from the hands of the reaper.

“No wonder everyone likes to go to heaven. It looks like there’s no lack of beauties in heaven.” Su Tao spoke in a hoarse voice before he glanced at his bandages and inwardly evaluated his own condition. His current situation was terrible, and without ten-odd days to half a month, it’s impossible for him to get up.

Inwardly sighing, the woman sourly snapped, “You can still joke at this timing.”

Gently looking at her, Su Tao asked, “You’re finally willing to meet me?”

The woman was Shui Junzhuo, someone that’s akin to a lotus. When he saw her, he was actually stunned. He never expected that he would be so infatuated upon seeing her. At this moment, he had a thought that it’s all worth it if he could see Shui Junzhuo by taking a few shots.

I’m sorry. I had an agreement with my father! She wanted to explain, but she couldn’t say it so she looked at Su Tao with a complicated glance.

“I know, and I will get rid of that agreement soon.” Su Tao said.

Sourly glancing at Su Tao, Shui Junzhuo said, “You don’t have to force yourself.”

“I’m not forcing myself. It’s a motivation for me to work harder!” Su Tao weakly shook his head.

Looking at Su Tao’s pale complexion, for some reason, Shui Junzhuo felt her heart aching. When she heard that Su Tao was injured, she immediately disregarded everything and rushed over. For the past ten-odd hours, she did not rest, and she had been staying by Su Tao’s side.

So what if she went against the agreement with her father?

She didn’t want to be a caged bird. She turned into a moth, who’s not afraid of fire.

“How’s the situation?” Su Tao bitterly smiled. He was clear that this was a well-planned assassination, and the objective wasn’t as simple as getting rid of him.

“You became a chess piece! The situation is very complicated right now, and the relationship between both sides is stiff. It’s complete chaos.” Shui Junzhuo revealed a complicated smile and continued, “The Diplomatic Visit might hastily come to an end. We were initially prepared for the representative team to visit the various states to observe, but there’s a change in the situation now.”

“How did this happen?” Su Tao was somewhat shocked.

Letting out a sigh, Shui Junzhuo took out her phone, opened a media website and showed it to him.

Looking at the phone, Su Tao was speechless as he bitterly smiled. “The leaders aren’t that stupid, right? This is clearly a scheme to sow discord, but it’s useful?”

“You have too little knowledge on these matters! Since it could become so serious on the news, that means that the other party has powerful backing. Since Russia knows that someone in the country is against the cooperation between the two countries, they will naturally start to hesitate. Furthermore, Russia’s opposition faction will also make use of this matter to create an article.” Shui Junzhuo bitterly smiled.

With a self-ridiculing smile, Su Tao replied, “So what am I considered? Collateral damage?”

“You’re still not qualified, so don’t stick gold on your face.” Shui Junzhuo sourly smiled.

Inwardly letting out a sigh, Su Tao asked, “The mastermind is Qin Jingyu, right?”

Among his enemies, only Qin Jingyu was capable of pursuing him overseas and creating a bloodbath.

“We’re still unsure about that! But we can confirm that the assassins were very cunning. Even after our efforts, the outcome still isn’t ideal.” Shui Junzhuo gently replied.

“There’s a total of three assassins, and one of them has already died.” Su Tao said with a solemn voice.

“We’ve found the corpse, located in the forest outside Kazan. A fight took place, in which the other party was forced to abandon their comrade’s corpse.” Shui Junzhuo sighed in regret.

Wearing a bitter smile, Su Tao asked, “There shouldn’t be any worth in finding a corpse without any identity, right?”

Although Su Tao had just regained his consciousness, his analysis was right. The identity of Dragon Group’s members was all kept secret, so they couldn’t find any clues.

“Although there’s no evidence, Qin Jingyu still has to pay the price.” Shui Junzhuo said.

Seeing that Shui Junzhuo’s attitude towards Qin Jingyu has changed, Su Tao revealed a gratified smile. “Qin Jingyu has done something foolish!”

“Why?” Shui Junzhuo asked. She was baffled by his words.

“Because you’ve totally given up on him, and you belong to me now.” Su Tao revealed a smug smile.

As Shui Junzhuo’s ears turned red, she gently sighed, “Cut your cheesy words! I’ve never been attracted to you.”

“Yeah, you will only be passionate towards me!” Su Tao continued teasing her since it’s easier to move the other party’s heart under this atmosphere.

As he had expected, Shui Junzhuo’s eyes were watery, as if she was moved to tears. But all of a sudden, Jiang Qinghan entered and disrupted their conversation.

“You’ve finally awakened!” Jiang Qinghan looked haggard. Aside from Shui Junzhuo, she must have also been staying by his side all this while.

“It has been tough on you!” Su Tao smiled.

Opening the lunchbox, Jiang Qinghan smiled. “It’s good that you’re awake. Now, Junzhuo can finally have a good rest.”

She prepared two portions, one for Shui Junzhuo. The two of them ate before Su Tao. Since he had regained his consciousness, the two of them had more of an appetite to eat.

Inwardly letting out a sigh, Su Tao never imagined that this assassination was an opportunity for the two ladies to become closer.

While he was basking in joy, he was once again, overwhelmed by exhaustion and fell asleep.

After their meal, Shui Junzhuo left after seeing that Su Tao regained his consciousness. She still had things waiting for her to attend to.

Entering the vehicle, she received a call from Russia’s representative.

Half an hour later, Shui Junzhuo met Stefan in the latter’s office.

When Stefan saw this Chinese lady, he wore a respectful expression. He naturally knew that the latter had someone backing her up, and he respected the family that stood behind her.

“Mr. Stefan, thank you for taking the time to meet me despite being so swarmed. I think that we should continue our cooperation. We can’t allow it to be ruined just because of some unhappiness.” Shui Junzhuo spoke in fluent Russian.

“Ms. Shui, as you know, a serious anti-Chinese mindset appeared in my country, and if we still continue to cooperate at this moment, it will only go against public opinion. Furthermore, the final decision lies with my superior, who is still troubled by this matter.” Stefan helplessly replied.

“If there’s an issue, we’re willing to resolve it.” Shui Junzhuo patiently persuaded as she continued, “But if we continue to drag this matter, it will only wear down each other’s patience.”

Shrugging his shoulder, Stefan replied, “It’s mainly because the bargaining chip that you guys offered isn’t attractive enough. You should know that Russia doesn’t lack resources from China, and it’s not attractive enough if you want to use those to exchange for our core aviation technology.”

That was Stefan’s genuine thought.

“Russia is the biggest country in the globe that exports military equipment. Even if you guys have prepared sufficient reserves, China\'s goods are in high demand in the market now. Through your channels, I believe that you guys can easily change those goods into gold, and it’s no different from us paying in money!” Shui Junzhuo patiently analysed.

“You’re an outstanding persuader, but it’s hard for me to use that as a reason to convince my superiors.” Stefan shrugged.

Seeing that Stefan used his superiors as an excuse once more, Shui Junzhuo knew that the negotiation couldn’t continue. Hence, she could only leave for the time being.

When Stefan sent Shui Junzhuo to the door, she noticed that Stefan’s hand was slightly trembling when she shook his hand.

Entering her vehicle, she locked her brows together for a long time before she instructed Yuan Lan, who was sitting in the front seat, “Please help me look into something!”

“Grandpa, you must find the culprit and tear him apart!” Vera might be under house arrest, but she could still obtain information from outside. When she knew that Su Tao was a victim of an assassination, she nearly went insane. Not only did she smash the Chinese porcelain that her father had kept for many years, but she even threw all the gifts that her father gave her for her past birthdays.

As for Ormond, he also realised that his daughter has genuinely fallen in love with Su Tao.

“I suspect that it was my father that did it! If that’s the case, then I will cut all connection with the Ormond Family!” Vera analysed the matter in the worst possible scenario.

Listening to his daughter’s grumbling, Lin Yifu wore a bitter smile and sighed. Was this still his calm and witty granddaughter? She’s practically the same as his daughter, Michelle, who was blinded by love in the past.

Stabilising his emotions, Lin Yifu sighed, “Firstly, I can guarantee it with my integrity that this matter has nothing to do with your father. Secondly, this is a complicated matter, and I’m not in a position to interfere since it involves the internal conflict in China. Lastly, I have already gotten news of the person that you’re looking for.”

“Really?” Vera was instantly captivated by that information. Although she still felt rage about Su Tao getting hurt, she did not witness Su Tao getting shot herself, not to mention that Su Tao was still alive.

“He is more dangerous than I’ve imagined. He even possesses a new power that recently rose in Russia.” Lin Yifu sighed.

From her grandfather’s words, Vera knew that her grandfather couldn’t bring that person to Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan.

“Then, do you know his whereabouts?” Vera sighed.

“I will send you the address at a later date. But I have to warn you beforehand that he’s a dangerous person.” Lin Yifu replied.
