Chapter 164 Out of danger
Chapter 164 Out of danger
Zheng Junzhou looked at the distinguished guest he hadn't seen in a long time and asked, "How come you...?" Just as he was about to say something, he saw Qin Yan carrying the blood-soaked Qiao Xiao out of the passenger seat.
Zheng Junzhou reacted quickly, opening the door to let them in. After cautiously checking the surroundings, he decisively closed the door.
"What happened?" Zheng Junzhou asked as he grabbed his equipment and quickly dealt with the situation using his professional skills.
After regaining his memories, Qin Yan's ruthlessness erupted, and he said in a deep voice, "So many people want me dead!"
His already gloomy eyes looked even more like a devil from hell under the operating lights. If Qin Yan was the first to charge into the devil's ranks, then he was the master who controlled and manipulated them.
Zheng Junzhou knew that once this boss lost his temper, no one could stop him.
"I gave her some fluids, but she has lost a lot of energy and needs to be taken to a proper hospital as soon as possible."
Qin Yan: "I've contacted a private hospital, and they'll arrive as soon as possible. Use all the potent medications available; she absolutely must be safe and sound."
Zheng Junzhou: "I'm not so bad that I can't save her."
After listening to their conversation for a while, Qiao Xiao finally reacted, frowning slightly. Her pain was canceled out; all of this was a deliberate performance. It would be too inhuman for her not to feel anything at all.
The two people who were talking immediately noticed Qiao Xiao's actions.
"Qiao Xiao!" Qin Yan exclaimed excitedly.
She glanced at Qin Yan, forced a smile, and then fainted again.
Then the ambulance arrived and rushed Qiao Xiao to a private hospital. After her condition stabilized, Qin Yan began to talk to Zheng Junzhou.
Zheng Junzhou: "What happened to you these past few days?"
"Do you know someone surnamed Lin?"
"Lin Feng?"
"Yes, he kidnapped me."
"What?! Are you alright?"
After a long silence, Qin Yan slowly spoke, "He has completely destroyed the evidence. This person's strength is comparable to mine. If we were to confront him openly, I might not be able to defeat him in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Zheng Junzhou thought for a moment and then suggested, "But don't forget, don't you have a fiancée? If your two families can join forces to deal with him, he will probably have a hard time resisting."
Hearing this, Qin Yan's already serious expression deepened. Seeing this, Zheng Junzhou understood what was going on and tentatively asked, "Is it because of that girl?"
Qin Yan nodded slightly. Whenever the girl was mentioned, a clear and profound sadness involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
His voice lowered as well, as if every word was being squeezed out from the depths of his heart: "As long as she stays by my side, she will always face all sorts of unknown dangers."
"So, you're just going to let her go like this?" Zheng Junzhou pressed.
Qin Yan did not answer, but silently looked through the glass in front of him at Qiao Xiao, who was still unconscious in the intensive care unit.
After a long silence, he said softly, "I cannot bind her with my emotions. Once she wakes up, I will do everything in my power to give her an immense sum of money..."
"Will she really accept?" Zheng Junzhou pointed out the key issue incisively, seemingly indicating that the initiative lay with the girl.
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Yan's face as he replied with self-mockery, "So what if she doesn't want to? What do I have to keep her now?"
...
Qiao Xiao: "That's what he said?"
Not long after waking up, Qiao Xiao didn't see Qin Yan, but only Zheng Junzhou standing in front of her.
Zheng Junzhou said indifferently, "Miss Qiao, Qin Yan has a fiancée after all, so please don't make things difficult for him."
Qiao Xiao sneered: "He became a scoundrel after regaining his memories? Why didn't he tell me himself?"
Zheng Junzhou: "He has important matters to attend to."
"Go see his fiancée."
Seeing that their actions had been completely guessed, Zheng Junzhou said directly, "Ms. Qiao, we are very sorry."
"You shouldn't be saying that to me either."
Seeing that Qiao Xiao's face looked somewhat dull, he comforted her, "In any case, you need to rest now."
Qiao Xiao: "You go first, I want to be alone for a while."
After Zheng Junzhou left, Qiao Xiao, unusually, lay in bed, relieved that the plot was progressing smoothly.
"What's next in the plot?"
System: "Wait for him to send you money, host."
Qiao Xiao: "It's really simple and stress-free."
On the other hand, Qin Yan's life wasn't so easy either.
He slowly unbuttoned his custom-made suit, each button seemingly bearing a heavy weight. As the suit slipped to the floor, he stepped into the dressing room.
After standing still, he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror and said, "Qin Yan, disappear. From now on, I am alone."
The words had barely left his lips when Qin Yan's eyes widened in the mirror, his face contorted with disbelief and rage. He roared hoarsely, "Don't give me that nonsense, Qin Yan! Open your eyes and take a good look! When you existed in this world, who could you protect? Especially when you suffered those humiliations, who shared your pain? It was me! And you? You're a complete coward! You actually dared to think you could make me disappear? Do you think you have that kind of ability?"
Qin Yan's face turned somewhat pale, but he remained calm and coldly replied, "Yes, perhaps I am indeed a coward. But at least, I know how to control my emotions and won't lose my temper as easily as you."
Qin Yan was furious and continued to roar, "Fine! If that's the case, why didn't you kill that bastard Lin Feng with a single blow when you first saw him?"
Qin Yan remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "The time is not yet ripe."
Having said that, he ignored Qin Yan's reflection in the mirror, reached out and pushed the mirror away, revealing a hidden door behind it. Without hesitation, he stepped through the door leading to the secret chamber.
The secret room was dimly lit, with only a single, intense spotlight shining down, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes. In the center of this dazzling light, Lin Zhengqi was seen bound hand and foot, his body trembling slightly, clearly having suffered immense torture.
"Lin Zhengqi?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengqi suddenly looked up, his expression terrified, and shouted, "What do you want to do to me? Let me go! Do you know who's behind me? You're courting death!"
His facial expression was distorted, making him look extremely ferocious. Even his facial features were somewhat twisted, and he even bore a resemblance to Lin Feng.
"The person behind you? You mean Lin Feng, right? Don't worry, he'll be here to keep you company soon." The other person's eyes were dark, and his voice was low and cold.
Lin Zhengqi scoffed, "You?"
Qin Yan stepped forward and delivered a resounding slap to Lin Zhengqi's face. His imposing physique made it as easy for him to subdue Lin Zhengqi as a tiger hunting a rabbit.
Qin Yan leaned closer, gripping Lin Zhengqi's chin tightly with his hand, so forcefully that Lin Zhengqi had to look up at him. A disdainful smile curled at the corner of his lips as he calmly said, "That's right, just me."
Lin Zhengqi was so slapped that his vision went black, and he looked at Qin Yan in a daze. Qin Yan said coldly, "When I'm talking, you'd better behave yourself. I don't want to hear another word of your nonsense."
"Did you drug Qiao Xiao? Did you?"
Lin Zhengqi roared, "Are you crazy?! You kidnapped me for a woman?!"
However, instead of a slap, he was met with a heavy punch. Qin Yan said coldly, "Shut up, you are not worthy to mention her name."
Lin Zhengqi was knocked to the ground by the sudden punch and lost consciousness.
Qin Yan glanced at Lin Zhengqi lying on the ground, saw that he had no reaction and showed no pity on his face, then turned and left.
