Chapter 312
Got it. Murray had a bitter look on his face. The Dark Council was set up to suppress others for their own enjoyment, but now, Su Jin was making them maintain order in the world. Wasnt that turning them into social justice warriors? Was the Dark Council now the Justice League?!
You can leave now. Su Jin waved his hand and the ball of psychokinesis surrounding them disappeared.
The members dared not stick around and quickly left with sullen looks on their faces. Su Jin came to the warship that Situ Jin was on. Situ Jin said, You killed quite a number of them?
About half. But you dont have to worry anymore, they wont come here and make trouble ever again, said Su Jin.
Situ Jin nodded. Thanks so much.
You dont have to thank me. This started because of me, anyway. Besides, even if I didnt do anything, youd end up contacting Xu Ran. Su Jin chuckled before they both fell silent for a moment. They were no longer teammates and they still werent really used to it yet.
After bidding Situ Jin farewell, Su Jin returned to S City. He had only just reached home when he received a call from Su Qing. She was on holiday and wanted to visit S City for fun. Since Su Jin was her older brother, she expected him to bring her around.
Sure, just come over anytime. Let me know when youre about to arrive so that I can go and pick you up, Su Jin agreed to host her readily. She was going to sit for her high school examinations soon, and it was good to take a nice break before the examinations.
The next morning, Su Qings flight arrived at S City. Su Jin headed for the airport immediately after he got the call. He didnt buy a car since he didnt need one, so he took a cab instead.
The plane landed shortly after he had arrived at the airport. She had hoped to hide in the crowd and give her brother a surprise, but Su Jins psychokinesis had located her the moment she got off the plane, so this surprise was never going to happen. Instead, Su Qing got a shock when Su Jin suddenly appeared behind her.
Oh my god! I didnt even hear your footsteps! I got such a shock! Su Qing was so shocked, she kept patting her chest.
Su Jin rubbed her head gently. He hadnt seen her for a year and she had grown into such a pretty young lady, plus she was almost his height now. That wasnt too bad for a girl.
Come along with me! Ill bring you to eat good food! said Su Jin with a hearty laugh. Su Qings eyes were filled with delight. She hadnt seen her older brother in a year and she missed him very dearly.
But when they walked out of the airport, Su Jin suddenly realized something. He wanted to bring Su Qing around to enjoy herself, but he didnt know what was good in S City. That put him in a bit of an awkward situation, since he had been based in S City for quite some time now.
Even after pausing to think, he couldnt think of anything. He didnt have any friends to ask either. Tang Ning would have had plenty of recommendations, but he had just altered her memories, so he couldnt possibly call her about this.
Oh, what about her? Su Jin slapped his forehead. He did actually know someone who would know about such things Han Mengyao from the special police. He didnt like dealing with the department, but he figured it would be alright to just give one of them a call about something like that.
With that in mind, Su Jin gave Han Mengyao a call. She was sleeping when he called her, so she got up with an angry pout on her face and her hair messily over half her face. But when she saw that the caller was actually Su Jin, her eyes couldnt help but light up.
Hello, Mr. Expert. Why are you calling me?
Su Jin was a little taken aback. She sounded rather annoyed. Did someone make her angry?
Miss Han, I, uh my younger sister is in S City for a visit and I wanted to take her out to a good meal and help her to relax. But Im not very familiar with S City, so do you have any good recommendations? Su Jin was asking for a favor, so he had to sound as friendly and polite as possible.
Your younger sister? If you just want to eat, there are a few restaurants near the jetty that arent too bad. Theres a shopping street nearby too, so you can go there and take a look. Of course Han Mengyao was upset. After the incident at Cloud Mountain, Su Jin did not contact her again. Even though that was to be expected, for some reason, Han Mengyao felt like she had been abandoned.
Thanks! Su Jin thanked her cheerfully, then hung up before she could even say anything in response. He didnt want the conversation to suddenly veer toward anything to do with the special police.
Hello? Hello?! ARGH! What an asshole! Han Mengyao sprang up from her bed in anger. She pouted even more angrily now.
Su Jin had no idea what her expression was like. He said to Su Qing, Alright! Im going to show you the glamorous side of this city!
Su Qing got excited too. She trusted her brother regardless of what he said. Even if he said he was bringing her to the moon, she might actually believe him.
He hailed a cab and told the driver to head for the jetty. At the same time, he asked the driver for some recommendations. The driver was a chatty man, so he couldnt stop talking once he started.
Somewhere to eat? Then youve got to head to Eight Tastes Restaurant! I heard that they cook meals with herbs and they only use the most expensive and rarest of herbs. Its not cheap, but everyones into healthy eating these days, isnt it? Besides, their food is really tasty. Ive also heard that before you order, a doctor will take your pulse and check your bodys condition. The doctor would work with the chef to ensure that you get food thats most suitable for your body.
Jin, forget it, it sounds really expensive. We can just settle for something simple. Su Qing knew that her brother had worked very hard in order to make ends meet all these years, but he just didnt tell his family. So, when she heard that it wasnt cheap, she immediately refused to go.
Su Jin patted her hair and said, Dont worry, I can afford to feed you, at least.
The driver drove them straight to the doorstep of Eight Tastes Restaurant. They felt that this place was definitely no ordinary place the moment they got out of the car. The restaurant was housed in an old Chinese building, but it wasnt just a building that was designed to look like an old building. It looked like someone had removed an old building from elsewhere, then moved it here and spruced it up. That alone was a lot of effort and money.
Once they stepped in, a waiter approached them. Su Jin wanted to treat his sister to a meal, so he wasnt going to stinge on any expenses and immediately requested a private room. The waiter seemed to think that based on Su Jins dressing, he wouldnt be able to afford much, so after hesitating for a moment, he said that there werent any more private rooms left.
But any waiter who could hold a job in such an expensive restaurant wouldnt be a stick in the mud. Even after he told Su Jin that he couldnt get a private room, the waiter still allocated a fairly quiet spot for the two siblings.
Su Jin knew what the waiter was thinking about, but he just wanted to have a nice meal with his sister, so he decided not to pursue this matter further. Just like what the cab driver had told them on their way to the restaurant, once they sat down, a middle-aged man who looked like a traditional Chinese medicine doctor approached them and offered to check their pulses.
Su Jin motioned to let Su Qing go first. The doctor checked her pulse, narrowed his eyes slightly, then let go of her hand after a minute. He grabbed the blank sheet of paper prepared for him and started writing furiously on it before passing it to the waiter, who would hand it straight to the chef. The customers here did not get to order their own food at all. The doctor did that for them.
The two siblings thought this was a very new and interesting idea. The doctor said to Su Qing, Miss, youve been rather tired out recently and youve lost a lot of energy. If this goes on, you may fall ill. Ive gotten the kitchen to prepare some food to replenish your energy. However, food can only serve as a supplement. If you want to get rid of this problem at the root, you need to rest more, stop staying up at night and make sure you arent feeling too stressed.
This doctor wasnt too bad after all. Su Qing had been studying day and night to prepare herself for her high school examinations, so she was more than a little exhausted.
Got it! Thank you so much, Doctor, Su Qing thanked the doctor politely. The doctor smiled back and nodded slightly.
Sir, its your turn. The doctor turned to look at Su Jin.
Uh its alright, Im pretty healthy. Su Jin didnt think his health needed a check, so he just simply made up an excuse.
But the doctor continued to insist, Youre a customer, and since youre spending at Eight Tastes, then it is only right for us to provide the service weve promised all our customers.
Alright then! Su Jin smiled. The doctor only checked ones pulse anyway, so he didnt really mind that.
Su Jin stretched his arm out and the doctor placed his fingers on Su Jins wrist. But a few seconds later, he shifted his fingers slightly, then did that again a few more seconds later.
Su Jin felt like laughing when he saw what the doctor was doing. Doctor, are you having trouble locating my pulse?
The doctors expression was a little perplexed, not because Su Jin was teasing him but because he felt that this young mans pulse didnt seem human. Su Jins pulse was so strong and fit, not even an elephant could match up to him.
He said to Su Jin, Sir, do you mind if I check your eyes?
My eyes? Su Jin frowned. This meal was getting a little too troublesome now.
Jin, just let the doctor take a look! Su Qing started getting worried. She thought that the doctor detected some illness and wanted to do more checks on Su Jin.
She was very insistent, so Su Jin had no choice but to agree to it. The doctor immediately sat down in front of Su Jin and told Su Jin to open his eyes wide. But when he stared into Su Jins eyes, he immediately froze, then fell to the floor with a loud thud a few seconds later and stopped breathing.
