Su Zheng burped lightly and glanced at Su Xing to show that he was aware of his limits. He put down the wine glass in his hand and asked Su Xing to show him to the washroom.

Two minutes after they left party venue, the venue was attacked with a bomb!

At this moment, Su Qing was still hiding in her room with her eyes closed.

The phone on the ground suddenly rang. She looked down and instantly woke up when she realized the number on it.

She picked up the phone quickly. “Hello, Chief, this is 004.”

“Special Agent 004, please report your exact location.”

“Yes! I’m at the Lin Shan Villa District in the business district of B City.” Su Qing sat up straight and replied quickly.

“Very good. The bureau is now issuing you a 3S-rank mission. Please complete it.”

Su Qing didn’t say anything because she knew that her current situation wasn’t suitable for any mission, let alone a difficult mission like 3S.

“In the past six months, our bureau has been secretly investigating a special criminal. He’s the killer ranked fifth on the Assassination List — Dark Night! He has been on the move frequently recently, and we suspect that he’s up to something big again! This person is extremely vicious and kills people as though they are flies. He’s a criminal who has been given the kill order five times by the bureau. From what we know, he has already moved to City B three days ago, and is here now!”

Su Qing remained silent. She also knew that unless it was absolutely necessary, the bureau wouldn’t suddenly assign missions to the agents who were resting.

“Two hours ago, we confirmed Dark Night’s whereabouts. He’s the closest to your location now! You’re also the only S-rank agent who can compete with him in terms of combat strength! The situation is urgent. Please immediately set off to your destination to complete the mission! The bureau will immediately send you the details of the mission! We’ll do our best to assist you!”

A stern female voice sounded from the other end of the line. Su Qing was stunned for only two seconds before she quickly accepted the mission.

The bureau would not allow anyone to reject such a mission. Even a pillar of the bureau like Su Qing could only obey at a time like this!

When Kong Yue saw Su Qing coming down the stairs, she thought that the child was hungry and had come down to look for food. She quickly went over and said, “There’s still some of your favorite soup in the pot. Mommy has been keeping it warm! Do you want some?”

Su Qing stopped in her tracks and stood in front of Kong Yue. She looked at her mother deeply with her dark eyes. After a while, she said, “It’s fine. I need to go. I have something on.”

Kong Yue was stunned. “Huh? You’re still going out so late at night? Where are you going? When are you coming back?”

Kong Yue’s question came out with worry in her eyes. Su Qing turned her face away and said calmly, “I should be back soon. You don’t have to wait for me.”

With that, she walked out.

Kong Yue quickly followed behind her and said anxiously, “Then I’ll get your second brother to go with you. I’ll be worried if it’s too late! Your second brother is good at driving. Let him go with you.”

Su Qing stopped in her tracks, and Kong Yue immediately bumped into her back. Almost instantly, Su Qing’s hand was already on Kong Yue’s neck, but in the next second, her quickly returning to her senses told her that she couldn’t do this!

She would regret it for the rest of her life if she hurt her mother!

Su Qing’s hand quickly bounced back. She only had time to take another look at Kong Yue before she disappeared from the entrance at an abnormal speed!

Kong Yue was stunned. Her eyes widened as she looked in the direction where Su Qing had disappeared. “… Qingqing! I’m your mother. You don’t have to apologize to me. What’s wrong with you?”

Kong Yue collapsed to the ground. A second before Su Qing disappeared, she seemed to have heard her say, “I’m sorry.”

No! She was certain that Su Qing had said those three words!

Kong Yue’s heart was in so much pain that it felt like it was about to stop.

When Su Lu, Su Shui, and Su Rui heard the commotion, they quickly walked over and surrounded Kong Yue.

“What’s wrong?” Su Rui asked.

“Was that Qingqing who ran away just now?” Su Lu asked anxiously when he saw Kong Yue’s stunned expression.

Su Shui chased after her, but he didn’t even see her figure. He turned around and looked at Kong Yue. “That’s Su Qing, right? Where is she going so late at night?”

Su Lu was a meticulous person, and when he saw the swelling on Kong Yue’s neck, he had a bad feeling. He shook Kong Yue’s shoulder and said, “Mom! Come back to your senses!”
