Under the night,
Qin Hanyue and Qiao Ying walked side by side.
Qin Hanyue: "On the way here, I heard a lot happened. Why did you burn down the Wu Ma family's auction site? Did the Wu Ma family offend you?"
Qiao Ying: "I don't like them. I was impulsive at the time."
Qin Hanyue nodded slightly and praised with a smile: "I always forget that you are still a medical student who saves lives."
Hearing this, Qiao Ying gave an embarrassed laugh: "I often forget too."
What she meant was that she was not a person who saves lives at all. She studied medicine not to save people, but burning auction sites because she didn't like them and attracting the Black Spade A was part of it.
Perhaps because they, these unfamiliar faces, burned down the Wu Ma family’s auction site, this big drug lord began to be more vigilant afterwards, and patrolling people could be seen everywhere in his territory.
There were more than twice as many patrolling people at night than during the day.
Qin Hanyue followed Qiao Ying to avoid those patrols and went straight into the center of the big drug lord's lair.
Going everywhere just means coming to the big drug lord’s territory? And she seems to be going straight to the lair? Qin Hanyue reported to her: "I have no weapons with me."
Qin Hanyue didn’t expect Qiao Ying to take him along, and he felt indescribably happy.
Qiao Ying: "Just taking a walk, we don't necessarily have to do anything."
The two walked and chatted all the way, avoiding the patrols, and arrived at the big drug lord's lair. But there were even more heavy guards here.
During the day, Qiao Ying had come to take a look at the terrain, but did not enter their lair to see the layout inside, so she was unclear about it.
The two wandered around aimlessly in this maze-like "nest".
At first, Qin Hanyue saw that she did seem to be just taking a walk, but soon realized that this was not the case. She seemed to be going nowhere, but was actually going to places where big figures come and go. She seemed to be looking for something.
Qin Hanyue didn't ask much and just followed her.
Along the way, he also eavesdropped on a lot of conversations, but apparently none were what Qiao Ying wanted to hear.
At this moment, the two were crouching by a window again, listening to the conversation inside: "The identities of those few people have been figured out. One is the chairman of the DILIN Group of Country M, who is also the supreme administrator of the 791 Corps, one is a gangster prince, and another one is a student."
"A student?"
"That little girl, who is also the new leader of the Blackwater Mercenary Group on the M Continent, has an unusual relationship with Qin Hanyue, the man in power of the Qin family in the Capital of Hua Country.”
The words that followed clearly reached the ears of the two people outside the window.
Qiao Ying unconsciously raised her eyebrows slightly, with no expression on her face.
Qin Hanyue, on the other hand, had a smile at the corner of his mouth as he secretly watched Qiao Ying's reaction, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
"She has such skills at a young age. Her background needs to be thoroughly investigated. I think these people have bad intentions. We need to notify the higher-ups and ask two capable assistants from our boss to come over."
Qin Hanyue was tall with long legs and too noticeable a target. The patrolling people in the distance saw someone by the window and shouted loudly: "Who's there?"
But by the time they ran over, they didn't find anyone.
The people talking in the room were startled and came out to check: “What’s going on?”
“I just saw a shadow flash by the window.”
"Guard every exit. Don't let any suspicious people go. Go find them."
The guards in the entire maze building were mobilized upon receiving the news, and their footsteps echoed in layers.
The two slipped into a room to hide temporarily.
The room was quite luxurious with a predominantly Chinese-style décor. The occupant was probably someone of status.
The two came to the tea table and sat down.
In the moonlight coming in through the window, Qiao Ying looked around the room.
Qin Hanyue suddenly said, "Try this."
Qiao Ying looked over to see Qin Hanyue plucking a grape from the fruit platter and handing it to her.
He said in a lowered voice, "The fruits here are quite sweet."
Qiao Ying took it from his hand and put it in her mouth.
After taking a bite, it was very juicy and her mouth was filled with sweetness.
Qin Hanyue asked: “Is it sweet?”
Qiao Ying: “Sour.”
Sour? Qin Hanyue picked one for himself and tried it. For him, the sweetness was almost cloying: "Mine is very sweet."
Qiao Ying looked at his actions and listened to his words, a faint smile seemed to appear at the corner of her mouth.
Qin Hanyue plucked another one for her: “The bottom part seems sweet...”
Qiao Ying’s ears moved slightly as she heard footsteps approaching them. She reached out and covered Qin Hanyue’s mouth that was speaking.
“Shhh." Qiao Ying hushed him softly.
Qin Hanyue was slightly stunned, and his breathing stopped as he looked at her silently.
The girl's hand was small and soft. She always did things like killing people and arson, but at the moment, it was pressed closely against his face and lips without any danger.
Qin Hanyue, who had been keeping himself pure all these years, came into such intimate contact with someone for the first time, and that person was the girl he had been attracted to for a long time.
His jawline gradually tensed, and he unconsciously exerted too much force in his hand, crushing the grapes completely, his entire hand covered in the cloyingly sweet juice.
Qiao Ying soon retracted her hand and gave him a look before saying, “Let’s go.”
There were still footsteps outside the door. The two left through the window.
On the way back, Qin Hanyue was a little silent.
He deliberately fell half a step behind Qiao Ying, and would glance sideways at the girl beside him from time to time. He had already wiped the grape juice from his hand clean with a handkerchief, but his hands still felt a little sticky.
The two walked quietly until they returned to the place where the car had sunk into the mud pit, but Qin Yan and the car were no longer there.
Qiao Ying: “Should we call to contact them?”
Qin Hanyue: “No need. They probably went to get the car fixed. Let’s go.”
Qiao Ying didn’t say anything more and continued walking back.
“Since we met, apart from that time you drove me around to see the sea, I think this is the second time we went out alone together.” Qin Hanyue suddenly said.
Qiao Ying: “Sneaking into someone else's lair is the first time for Master Qin, right?"
Qin Hanyue: “Yes.”
Qiao Ying: “How was it?”
Qin Hanyue: “Very good.”
Qiao Ying: “It’s a pity we can’t startle the snake in the grass, otherwise there could have been a chance to see Master Qin’s skills.”
Qin Hanyue: “My skills are not as good as yours, but if you want to watch, we can go back now.”
Qiao Ying: “That’s too much trouble.”
At this point, she stopped and looked at him with a seemingly mocking smile, her expression intriguing.
Qin Hanyue: “Hm?”
Before Qin Hanyue could think more about it, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming towards them from afar.
Qin Hanyue looked over,
A moment later, more than twenty people with tribal tattoos on their necks appeared and blocked their way - they were the Wu Ma family’s people.
It was not easy to find a place to sleep here. Moreover, Qiao Ying and the others were still wanted by the Wu Ma family. Over the past two days, they had stayed at the border between the Wu Ma family and the arms dealer’s territories. There was a two-story wooden building there that used to house people from the Wu Ma family, and now they were living there.
To go back, they had to cross the Wu Ma family’s territory or take a big detour from the arms dealer’s side to go back.
Of course, Qiao Ying chose the simpler route.
So now they were in the Wu Ma family’s territory.
When the Wu Ma family's men saw Qiao Ying, they looked at her as if seeing their father's enemy. Their long knives were already shaking with impatience in their hands.
Qiao Ying had both hands in her coat pockets and said, "We've been fighting a bit too much these days."
Qin Hanyue looked at her and cooperated very much: “If you’re tired, I’ll handle them.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, ready to resolve these troubles.
Qiao Ying said, "This coat is quite cumbersome, take it off and I'll hold it for you."
Qin Hanyue looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a suit inside, dress shirt and suit. He just had an extra long black coat over it.
"Thank you." He took off his coat and gave it to Qiao Ying.
He resumed his usual suited look.
"Stand farther away. Don't get it on you." He said.
