Physician’s Odyssey,Chapter 569 - Qin Jingyu’s Pursuit - Read free novels online

The air-conditioning wasn't turned on in the room, and with the windows closed as well, it made the room stuffy. As the saying goes, a calm heart keeps you cool. Qin Jingyu wore quite a few clothes. Not only did he wear a shirt, but he even donned a jacket. Yet surprisingly, he wasn't sweating, so one could see how much control he had over his temperament.

Three people were standing before Qin Jingyu, and they were all elites of the Dragon Group. The one standing in the center was an incredibly charming woman with two men with drastic differences in height standing by her sides. However, they were all muscular, especially the shorter man. He looked as if he had grown horizontally since his chest muscles stretched his grey shirt. On the other hand, the taller man might not be more robust than the shorter one, but he gave a deep impression since his arms were extraordinarily long. He definitely had a talent as a professional basketball player, and if he was born in ancient times, he'd be a talented natural archer.

"Leader, please be reassured. We will definitely complete the task in Russia." The woman promised.

Nodding his head, Qin Jingyu replied, "The Fire Beacon will definitely have their men stationed in Russia, and it won't be easy for you guys to make a move. However, it will still be easier than completing the mission in the country."

As the charming woman slightly furrowed her brows, she bit on her lips before her chilling voice resounded, "Our Dragon Group has suffered a severe loss because of him. Since he touched the reverse scale of a dragon, we will definitely eliminate him. Even if he is being protected, we will strike him down without fail."

Hearing her words, Qin Jingyu slightly nodded his head. This charming woman's callsign in the Dragon Group was Third Dragon. In a competitive organisation like the Dragon Group, their number represented their ranking. The Third Dragon might be a woman, but it was also precisely because she's a woman that made disguising much easier and more lethal.

Qin Jingyu wasn't someone to take a loss lying down. He would definitely crawl back up from where he fell, and it was also precisely because of possessing such an ambitious and ruthless character that he became the leader of the Dragon Group. In this organisation, his authority was only beneath the Dragon Emperor.

He was already on the verge of success with South Africa's gold mine, but Su Tao had ruined all of his planning.

Although he had an agreement with the Shui Family that he would not make things difficult for Su Tao openly in China, Su Tao was currently in Russia. So if anything happened to Su Tao in Russia, it would have nothing to do with him.

Then again, the Third Dragon would be bringing the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dragons along to Russia. Aside from dealing with Su Tao, Qin Jingyu also had another plan that would bring him benefits.

After relaying his orders to the three Dragons, Qin Jingyu turned around and left the room.

Looking at his silhouette, the Nineteenth Dragon grinned, revealing his set of yellow teeth. "Third Sis, I heard that there's an extremely famous street in Russia, the beauty street. Is it true that we're going to Russia for a mission?"

Sourly glaring at the Nineteenth Dragon, the Third Dragon warned, "Remember to watch your behavior overseas. Russia might seem to be a city without much vigilance, but there might be KBG everywhere, so our opponents aren't the Fire Beacon alone."

Seeing Nineteenth Dragon being reprimanded, the Eighteenth Dragon grinned. "Aren't they just hairy dudes? If they angered me, I'd just tear them apart!"

Hearing his words, the Third Dragon sighed. Every single one in the Dragon Group was well-trained. Although the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dragons might seem to have low ranks, they're definitely capable. But from their tone, the Third Dragon could hear his arrogance. It was an arrogance born since he has never tasted failure.

As the captain of this team, the Third Dragon left first to investigate their target's situation.

Su Tao wasn't just a Divine Physician, his martial abilities had also been graded S-rank. That meant that if they fought, even she wasn't confident in defeating Su Tao by herself. Furthermore, Fire Beacon's Yuan Lan team was responsible for protecting Su Tao. Regardless of Yuan Lan or Hei Jin, they're both famous figures in the international secret agent industry.

Hence, if the mission wasn't well-planned, they would only have a 50% chance in success.

Although they could be more unrestrained in Russia, the Third Dragon still had her worries on this mission.

After Qin Jingyu left, he came to an unremarkable house in the courtyard. The walls were all built with genuine bricks with vines covering them that formed a natural barrier. There was an old man with white hair, brows, and mustache sitting on the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

Walking over to that rocking chair, Qin Jingyu respectfully kneeled and performed a kowtow.

"Get up. Why do you bother with such a ceremony each time? Aren't you tired of it?" The old man snorted.

Standing before the old man, Qin Jingyu did not show any arrogance but revealed a respectful smile. "Being able to pay respect to Grandpa Dragon Emperor is envious in the eyes of many."

The old man was naturally the Dragon Emperor, the founder of the Dragon Group. Although Qin Jingyu's grandfather has passed away, the Dragon Group would still stand proudly in Beijing as long as the Dragon Emperor was still alive.

Opening his eyes, the old man was gratified as he glanced at Qin Jingyu. He stayed unwed throughout his lifetime, and thus, he had already considered Qin Jingyu as his grandson. This was also the reason why he had been slowly handing over the Dragon Group to the latter over the past few years.

Qin Jingyu's performance was also great since he managed to control the Dragon Group in such a short period. Even if he resorted to intimidation with his powerful connections, it was also a talent for Qin Jingyu to be gifted in politics and strategies.

"For some reason, I feel uneasy sending Third, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Dragons to Russia this time. I've already planned it all well, but for some reason, I feel that something might happen." Qin Jingyu spoke the thoughts he had in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, the Dragon Emperor replied, "You have to learn how to accept failure and change your mentality. You have to know that you won't always win."

Hearing those words, Qin Jingyu's gaze flickered. The Dragon Emperor's eyesight was keen since the latter could tell that Qin Jingyu was still holding a grudge for his previous failure.

Giving another kowtow to the Dragon Emperor, Qin Jingyu replied, "I understand the reason now. Thank you, Grandpa Dragon Emperor, for your guidance."

Narrowing his eyes, the Dragon Emperor muttered to himself, "Yuan Lan, that lass is the Fire Deity's adopted daughter. I once met her when she was ten, and at that time, I noticed that her intelligence and ability were outstanding. In the future, she will definitely become someone outstanding in our line of work. With her protecting your target, I'm afraid that the Third Dragon is still insufficient."

The Dragon Group has the Dragon Emperor, while the Fire Beacon has the Fire Deity. They're both terrifying figures in the secret service industry.

Even if they've long retired, they have disciples everywhere with their legends still spreading around.

Inwardly letting out a sigh, Qin Jingyu asked, "Are we going to just sit and wait?"

"Time can kill anyone." The Dragon Emperor nodded.

"But, I can't wait for that long!" Qin Jingyu replied in a grave tone.

"Resentment is priceless!" The Dragon Emperor knew Qin Jingyu's temper and continued, "Go ahead and follow your heart. In life, we have to constantly live through the resentment in our hearts. Otherwise, how would we be different from puppets? Perhaps a setback can make you grow more powerful. I've always hoped that you can find a rival that you fear to temper yourself."

Raising his head to look at the Dragon Emperor, Qin Jingyu declared, "He's unfit to be my opponent!"

"It's just how I did not consider the Fire Deity as my opponent back then! Truth be told, we've fought for our entire lifetimes and reflecting on it now, I've actually lost more than I've won." The Dragon Emperor muttered, peacefully.

Qin Jingyu never imagined that the Dragon Emperor, someone who he had determined as the strongest man on earth, would admit that the Fire Deity was stronger than him.

"Remember, recognising your weakness is also a form of ability!" The Dragon Emperor's eyes lit up as a proud smile rose on his lips. "Although he's stronger than me, I'm in Beijing, while he's in the remote Jiangnan. So ultimately, I'm still more successful than him."

Qin Jingyu knew that the Dragon Emperor was advising him to learn endurance. After all, he had provoked the Ye and Ni Families, causing the Dragon Group to suffer a significant loss. Although the Dragon Emperor did not advise against him, he still gave Qin Jingyu his warning.

Nodding his head, Qin Jingyu replied, "I know what to do now!"

In the street, a few thousand miles away from Moscow, it was raining while Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan stood by the roadside, waving their hands. A cab soon stopped for them. Although Russia did not have a traveling application like China, their transportation was more convenient. Aside from the railway system that's akin to a spider web, they could easily get a cab with a wave of their hand. Many people have moonlighted as cab drivers, which was why you could easily find transportation.

If the driver was in a good mood, he might even help you out for free.

Since the driver did not understand Mandarin, he received the address from Su Tao and gave an 'OK' gesture. Roughly half an hour later, he sent the two of them to a castle-like building. Su Tao paid with ₽2,000, which was equivalent to about ¥200. But when the driver wanted to return the change to Su Tao, the latter waved his hand and decisively got out of the vehicle.

As the driver kissed the money, he said in Russian, "What a generous Chinese. Have a good time here!"

The location that Su Tao and Jiang Qinghan came to was Moscow's famous red-light district. Since it's evening right now, the entire city was decorated with lights that added a fascinating ambiance to the environment.

After Su Tao stood before the nightclub and compared it with a photo, he turned to Jiang Qinghan. "It's this nightclub. Yan Sun was once here, but that was a long time ago. The employees might have changed several times, so do you think there's a need for us to go in?"

Firmly nodding her head, Jiang Qinghan replied, "We can't let go of even a strand of possibility."

Even with Vera's promise, Jiang Qinghan still wanted to rely on herself out of her character. She hoped that she could find Yan Sun with her own ability. Through her own means, they found the location of this nightclub and was pondering if she should come and make a verification.

Seeing Jiang Qinghan's perseverance, Su Tao sighed and went along with her. He has long heard rumors that Moscow's nightclubs were exceptionally open-minded, and he could take this opportunity to verify it.
