âQin Yunhanâs quite deceptive, but does Mu Zhaozhao mean it? If so, I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever.â
Because of the monitoring virus, Wang Haoran heard the girlsâ entire conversation⊠and he couldnât help but smile.
The dayâs classes passed quicklyâŠ
After the bell rang for the evening self-study, Wang Haoran left the classroom slowly and leisurely, preparing to slip into Qin Yunhanâs bedroom.
â â â
[On the other side]
Qin Yunhan was anxious, preparing to return to her bedroom as soon as possible.
But halfway through, she suddenly received a call from Qin Kai.
âDad, if you want to persuade me to go back to the villa, Iâll just hang up.â Qin Yunhan said, her beautiful face taut.
[âYunhan, Dad went to Xiao Yifeng to protect you. Are you still angry with Dad?â] Qin Kai gently asked.
âUgh, donât mention Xiao Yifeng! Heâd be better off dead!â Qin Yun was cold.
Xiao Yifeng hurt her beloved and indirectly ruined her future happiness, so how could she not be angry?
[âWhatâs the matter; how did he provoke you?â] Qin Kai quickly asked, sensing that something in his daughterâs tone was off.
âHeâŠheâŠâ Qin Yunhan really wanted to tell him everything that Xiao Yifeng had done to Wang Haoran.
[âWhat about him?â] Qin Kai asked again.
âItâs nothing; I just hate this person.â Qin Yunhan said vaguely.
[âOkay, I wonât mention this for the time being.â] Qin Kai changed his tone and started talking about business:
[âSomeone wants to see you. Come to the school gate. Dad is waiting for you here.â]
âI donât want to see anyone, I wonât go.â Qin Yunhan pouted.
[âThis person is related to your mother; she can be regarded as your aunt.â] Qin Kai revealed some information.
âMom?â Qin Yunhanâs expression changed.
From what she had heard from her dad, Qin Yunhanâs mom left the moment she was born, going far away.
Throughout Qin Yunhanâs life, she was very unfamiliar with the word mother. But in her heart, sheâd always felt a vague and gentle figure.
âWait just a moment; Iâll come right away.â Qin Yunhan changed his tone.
After hanging up, she edited a message and sent it out:
[Brother Haoran, my father is here. He asked me to go to the school gate for something. Iâll go back to the dormitory later.]
[Okay.] Wang Haoran replied in seconds.
Thanks to the monitoring virus, heâd heard the whole conversation between father and daughter.
After replying to her message, Wang Haoran immediately walked toward the school gate.
From what he heard, Qin Yunhanâs aunt came to look for her.
This made him suddenly remember the message from the eagle.
Danfeng eyes, red moles between eyebrows, middle-aged woman.
He had never seen Qin Yunhanâs aunt, but the description clearly matched the third information point, a middle-aged woman.
[Samael: Could be literally any middle-aged woman on the planet, but okay-]
Multiple eyes tend to have better observations.
Plus, Qin Kai was there, which meant that Xiao Yifeng should also be there.
And, as if by law, protagonists are almost always up to no good. Something was bound to happen.
Naturally, Wang Haoran wanted to take a look.
After a while, he came to the school gate.
Using his [X-Ray Vision], Wang Haoran saw a luxury business car at the gate of the school.
With Li Bai as their driver, Qin Kai, Xiao Yifeng, and a middle-aged woman sat inside.
The middle-aged woman had danfeng eyes with a red mole between her eyebrows.
Wang Haoran immediately determined that this strange woman was the mastermind behind the scenes thanks to Eagleâs information.
â â â
[At the school gate]
As soon as Qin Yunhan came over, they all got out of the car:
Qin Kai, Xiao Yifeng, and Feng Rong, one after the other.
âDad, I donât want to see him. Make him leave!â Qin Yunhan angrily pointed at Xiao Yifeng and barked at Qin Kai.
When she thought of what Xiao Yifeng had done to Wang Haoran, her heart became so full of rage that she was unable to bear it any longer.
Seeing her reaction, Xiao Yifeng couldnât help but be a little surprised.
âWhy does it feels like the eldest lady is complaining about something?â
âShe shouldnât be that angry, right?â
He kept his word; he didnât say anything about the bar. He just said that the eldest lady and Wang Haoran held hands.
âMiss, we agreed before that you wonât be so cruel to me in the future, that youâd treat me with hospitalityâŠâ Xiao Yifeng threatened Qin Yunhan with her trip to the bar.
âGet out of here!â Qin Yunhan was so out of control that she straight-up interrupted Xiao Yifengâs words.
Xiao Yifengâs expression immediately changed into one of humiliation.
âYunhan, be polite, there are guests.â
Qin Kai also felt that his daughter was a little abnormal, but now was not the time for such things. He needed to get everything in order, and for that, he needed Xiao Yifeng to step down.
âI donât care about this that much. So if he doesnât leave, I will.â Qin Yunhan was dizzy with anger, yet her tone was firm and decisive.
Seeing that thereâs no room for negotiation, Qin Kai politely said, âYifeng, you must be tired. Why donât you go back and rest first?â
âAlright.â
Seeing that he was being told to step down, Xiao Yifeng naturally avoided making a fool of himself and immediately disappeared from Qin Yunhanâs field of vision.
But before heâd left, Qin Kai secretly gave Xiao Yifeng a signal.
Xiao Yifeng understood it, and â rather than leave â observed them in secret.
âThereâs quite a lot of people here; letâs head to the river.â Qin Kai wanted to find a more suitable place to speak.
Soon, all of them started heading to the nearby river.
The river was really close by, and they soon reached a quiet and deserted area.
Xiao Yifeng followed quietly behind them, hiding in the dark flower beds which evaded the city lights.
Naturally, it was his duty as a bodyguard to ensure Qin Yunhanâs safety.
After all, the mastermind behind her attempted kidnappings has yet to be discovered, meaning that she could be in grave danger while outside.
If he can just âbump intoâ this individual and save the eldest lady, then the latter is sure to change her attitude against him.
Xiao Yifeng closely observed Qin Yunhanâs movements. However, what he failed to notice was a figure quietly approaching himâŠ
Crack!
The sound of someone stepping on the dead branches of flowers and plants echoed.
Though barely audible, the sound was not something that could be concealed from Xiao Yifengâs ears.
Xiao Yifeng immediately turned around and looked behind him, but it was dark in the flowerbed. Unable to see anything, he could only tell the sound of footsteps growing faster.
He was shocked, now wanting to leap out of the dark flower bed and into the light.
But there was a gust of wind in the airâŠ
âOh, a master of [Internal Energy]?â
Xiao Yifeng was briefly surprised before disdain ignited within his heart.
He was not afraid in the slightest to compete in terms of [Internal Energy].
He concentrated, listened to the sound, identified the speakerâs position, judged the direction of their move, and then poured all of his energy into the palm of his hand.
A heavy palm struck!
Xiao Yifengâs body shook, feeling the blood in his body surge, almost making him vomit.
He was horrified.
âThis personâs [Internal Energy] is actually higher than mine?!â
Astonished, Xiao Yifeng poured all his True Qi into his legs, trying to jump out of the lightless shadows.
However, a sharp pain tore away at his bodyâs dantian, disabling his ability to utilize True Qi.
âPoison!â
Xiao Yifeng, with his [Grandmaster-level Medical Skills], immediately recognized it.
He pointed at himself, wanting to seal his acupuncture points and suppress the poisonous strike.
However, the figure cloaked in darkness flickered, slamming its palm down on his neck.
