The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

After hearing Xu Yiyu's words, the mysterious man's body suddenly shook, as if it had evoked some memories in him, leaving him speechless for a long time.

Why do what she said sound so similar to what the companion who helped me escape but left his own life there?

"Don't be so fussy. Something as important as the Imperial Seal cannot belong to any other place except China. If you don't pass the news back to China, I will teach you a lesson later!"

The last words the man said before the accident lingered in the man's ears for a long time.

The mysterious man lowered his head, his eyes tinged with a hint of gloom.

Ten seconds after the guy said this to himself, his body was buried under countless huge rocks and he died forever.

"Miss, I can tell you the information about the Imperial Seal, but I have an additional request."

The mysterious man lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. In the dim light, Xu Yiyu noticed that the tall man had his hands clenched tightly and his whole body was trembling slightly. It was unknown whether he was thinking of some sad past event.

"Please say so. I hope I can do that."

Xu Yiyu didn't say anything definite, but looking at the mysterious man's appearance, he didn't want him to lose hope completely.

"If you plan to return to that place one day after obtaining the information, please let me go with you."

The mysterious man's voice became dull, and there seemed to be a hint of sob in his throat.

If it weren't for the need to pass this news back home, he would have wanted to stop living in this world.

After losing all the people who were important to him, living alone in this world no longer had any meaning for him.

"……it is good."

I didn't expect it to be such a simple request. Xu Yiyu agreed without much thought. After all, it was just adding one more person to the expedition team. It was not a big deal.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm going back?"

"This is your privacy. We are just doing a business deal. I have no right to interfere with your freedom. Moreover, you are the one who brought back this information. Having you on the team actually saves me a lot of trouble."

Through the huge black mask on his face, the mysterious man suddenly looked up and looked at Xu Yiyu with moved eyes.

What kind of person is this person sitting opposite me? Why can he always speak so calmly and calmly, as if it has no effect on me at all?

Many complicated thoughts flashed through his mind, but when his chaotic thoughts calmed down, he made a decision that he would never have made before.

The man raised his hand and covered the black mask that had been covering his face with his five fingers. After maintaining this action for a long time, the man exerted a little force and took off the black mask on his face.

With the dim light in the room, Xu Yiyu was finally able to see the man's entire face.

——Two ugly scars ran diagonally across his face, extending from his forehead to the other corner of his mouth, just like a fork cut out of his face with a sharp blade, completely destroying his originally handsome temperament.

That’s not all. The man’s left face seemed to have been injured by some highly corrosive liquid. Except for his left eye which was still intact, there was not a single piece of intact skin and flesh on the rest of his face. Although it was obvious that he had received timely treatment, his face was still full of pits and pits, enough to be shocking to those who were less courageous.

After seeing the man's true face, Xu Yiyu seemed to understand why his voice was so hoarse.

I'm afraid that in addition to the flesh injuries, the person in front of me may also have suffered serious damage to his vocal cords.

"It is my principle to be honest with business partners, but I have been hurt in previous experiences, so I hope I won't scare you."

Xu Yiyu's momentary daze was obviously misunderstood by the man as being frightened. He apologized to Xu Yiyu in a seemingly calm manner, as if he was already accustomed to other people's attitude towards him.

"No, you misunderstood. I was just a little surprised, not scared."

Taking into account the special nature of this man's previous occupation, Xu Yiyu knew that keeping secrets had probably become his habit, so he quickly waved his hand to explain, his emotions clearly not affected.

"You can call me Jiu. This is my code name, or you can think of it as my name."

Jiu nodded slightly, pushed the sofa he was leaning on to another direction, sat down on the sofa, and then politely apologized to Xu Yiyu.

Xu Yiyu had expected the man's calmness, but she didn't expect him to be so honest with her.

"I'm Xu Yiyu. Mr. Jiu, you don't need to know what I do. I don't think you're that curious about this."

Xu Yiyu introduced herself in a very confident and generous manner, but apart from her name, she did not tell the man who called himself Jiu any useful information.

"Ms. Xu, if I didn't see it wrong just now, you bought the information I know for 450 billion, right?"

Jiu didn't mind and directly led the topic to another direction.

Xu Yiyu nodded in response, motioning for Jiu to continue.

"My transaction method is a bit special - I hope Miss Xu can transfer the money to the accounts I specify. Of course, I have already told this to the four family heads who helped me come here in advance, so you don't have to worry about me denying it later."

Jiu took out an A4-sized white paper that he had prepared in advance from his pocket. On it were densely written many accounts with different names and banks. When Xu Yiyu took the paper, he counted them. There were a total of 19 accounts listed on the paper, and the amounts that needed to be transferred were also indicated one by one.

Although she was a little curious about the reasons why he transferred money to these 19 accounts, Xu Yiyu still adhered to the principle of not inquiring into other people's privacy at will. She folded the white paper and put it neatly into her handbag without avoiding Jiu the whole time.

"Now that the preliminary procedures are over, Mr. Jiu, is it time for me to get to the point?"

Xu Yiyu went straight to the point, and Jiu didn't want to waste time. He took out a yellowed parchment scroll from behind him, unfolded it, and spread it flat in front of Xu Yiyu.

After looking down for a few seconds, Xu Yiyu roughly figured out that this was a map of somewhere overseas. Jiu had marked it with a striking red pen and drew a five-pointed star in the lower left corner.

Xu Yiyu raised her eyes and looked at Jiu inquiringly. Seeing Jiu nodded at her indifferently, she immediately understood that this should be the information that Jiu wanted to tell her.

"This map was left by my team. The location where I marked the five-pointed star is where the object is. This place is located in Yidali. It's a very small town, but it's easy to find."

Jiu slowly rolled up the parchment map, tied it up with a rope, and carefully handed it to Xu Yiyu.

"Ms. Xu, I have kept the agreement as we discussed before. I also hope that you can fulfill your promise and inform me in advance when you go to this place."

Xu Yiyu looked back at Jiu who had a serious expression, and nodded at him seriously and slowly.
