âYou-!â Mu Tong cried out in shock. Before the scream faded, âBangâ, his body was blasted out of the cave.
âPlop.â Just as Mu Tong fell to the ground, Qin Hao was already standing beside him, looking at him as if he was a dead man.
âPuff.â Mu Tong spat out a large mouthful of blood and tried to get up, but he was powerless. He knew that he must have been severely injured and might die very soon. He stared at Qin Hao who was filled with killing intent, âYou, how did you âŠ?â He could not understand. Not only was Qin Hao seriously injured, he was also tightly bounded. How could he suddenly unleash such a powerful attack?
Qin Hao was indeed heavily injured, but he had the Eternity Spell, and he was already at the second level of Qi Refining. As long as his Dan Tian was not hurt, it was not a problem to heal his internal injuries. After a night of self-healing, he had recovered by seventy or eighty percent. It was well enough to deal with Mu Tong, who was at the peak of the Beginning Stage. How could a rope tie him up?
Qin Hao looked at Mu Tong and snorted, âLet me ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer honestly. Donât waste my time and my patience is limited. The first question, where did Ye Siyu go? â
âI, I, I donât know.â Mu Tong clenched his teeth, not willing to reveal Ye Siyuâs trace. Right after finishing his words, a âCrackâ sound followed.
âAh!â Mu Tong let out a heart-wrenching scream as his entire body twitched. One of his feet had been trampled into pieces by Qin Hao. It was so painful that sweat was rolling down his face. He gritted his teeth with a gurgling sound.
Qin Hao acted like he didnât see it. He continued, âIâve already told you, my patience is limited. You still have one foot left.â As he said that, he lifted his leg, and his foot landed on Mu Tongâs foot. As soon as he exerted a little strength, the foot would immediately turn into mincemeat.
âNo, no, Iâll tell you.â Mu Tong quickly replied, âWe have a plan. I will question you, she has gone back to Beiwei City. We will meet at the Xinglong Hotel before three oâclock in the afternoon.â
âQuestion about what?â Qin Hao asked.
âThe Evil Yin Pearl.â Mu Tong answered very quickly, he was afraid that his only foot would be finished if he was slow.
Qin Haoâs sight turned cold. They also wanted his Evil Yin Pearl.
âWhy didnât Ye Siyu ask me by herself?â Qin Hao asked again.
âShe said she had other things to do, so she made me ask you. She forced me to do this, itâs none of my business. You saved our life, and I was against doing this to you. Ah!â Mu Tong let out another heart-wrenching scream. His other foot was also crushed by Qin Hao.
âTelling lies in front of me and pushing the blame onto a woman, hump.â Qin Hao looked coldly at Mu Tong, who had fainted because of the pain. He glanced at him with disdain before kicking Mu Tong into the cave. Even if he could wake up, he could only wait for death here.
Qin Hao left the valley. Before he left, he found the Spirit Accumulation Pearl that he dropped in the grass last night, and now there was only one remaining. He had another Spirit Accumulation Pearl and a Black Star Stone, but now they have disappeared. They should have been taken away by Ye Siyu.
When he walked out of the valley, Qin Hao saw a car parked on the road. A familiar person was smoking beside the car as he looked towards the exit of the valley. Wasnât that Wu Yanting? Was he waiting for him?
Qin Hao was a little touched. He had been in the valley for some days, but this person who he had just met actually cared so much about him, and was still waiting here.
Wu Yanting also found a person walking out of the valley. These days, he would come here occasionally to take a look, and also saw a lot of weird people walking out of the valley, some of them carrying swords and sabers. At first he thought they were filming. He wanted to ask them about the situation inside, but he was kicked away before he could talk to them, so he didnât dare to offend them and he didnât think they were filming anymore. There were killing intents from them. Therefore, he could only wait outside.
Now, he found that another person came out, he did not pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw that person, he felt that he was a little familiar. When that person walked closer, he realize that it was Qin Hao, which made him feel unbelievable. Qin Hao looked like a drowned mouse, the clothes were broken, he was semi-naked, and there was blood. What did he encounter inside? Of course, this was not important. Being alive was important.
âBrother Yuan, youâve finally come out. Itâs good, itâs good.â Wu Yanting still only knew Qin Haoâs fake name â Yuan Hao. As he spoke, he hurriedly went up to him with a face full of joy. Itâs genuine joy, no pretending.
Qin Hao sighed in his heart. Being able to make a friend with such a person in this place was also some kind of luck. He immediately smiled and said, âBrother Wu, why are you still waiting here?â
âBro, I said that I would wait for you to come out. How can a man not keep his word? Get in the car and weâll go back and celebrate your return. âWu Yanting smiled happily.
After they got in the car, Qin Hao noticed that Wu Yantingâs face looked more haggard than before. Thatâs not right, the Yin energy in his body had already been cleared, he should be more energetic now.
âBrother Wu, are you alright?â Qin Hao asked with concern.
Wu Yanting smiled lightly, âItâs nothing. Itâs just a small family matter, but itâs been sorted out.â After saying that, he started the car and drove out, âBrother Yuan, Iâll take you to the Xinglong Hotel to have a rest. Iâll host a dinner at this hotel tonight.â
âXinglong Hotel?â Qin Hao repeated the name. He remembered that this was the place where Mu Tong said he would meet with Ye Siyu.
âYes, Xinglong Hotel, a first-class hotel in the Beiwei City.â Wu Yanting thought Qin Hao was talking to him, so he answered.
âAlright, letâs go there.â Qin Hao was planned to make trouble with Ye Siyu here. He wanted to retrieve his Spirit Accumulation Pearl and Black Star Stone, and he also wanted to ruthlessly ravage that woman. She was a woman who did evil things without any hesitation. So, she couldnât blame him for being cruel. Since she treated him like this, at least he should get the compensation from her.
âBy the way, Brother Wu, all the Yin energy in the Ghost Valley has gone now. You can go there to invest and build. That is indeed a good territory.â Qin Hao recalled Wu Yantingâs earlier words about having an idea of building in the Ghost Valley, so he casually mentioned it.
Wu Yanting didnât seem to be interested after hearing that. He only smiled and said, âThis matter has nothing to do with me anymore. I have resigned from the company.â
âResign, why?â
âNothing else. Something happened at home and I donât want to stay here any longer. I will leave in a few days, so tonight, itâs a celebration for my brotherâs safe return, and also farewell party of my departure from this city.â Wu Yantingâs tone was a bit low, probably something really happened. Qin Hao was not a person who was fond of meddling in otherâs business. If Wu Yanting was willing to talk about his familyâs matters, he would naturally say it. If he wasnât, Qin Hao wouldnât ask about it. He wasnât that gossipy.
âThen, where does Brother Wu plan to go?â
âMy hometown, I think Iâll enter politics this time. My hometown is Rongcheng County in the south. When brother comes to Rongcheng County, remember to cpme to see me. Hehe.â At this point, Wu Yanting actually had a carefree smile on his face, as if the tangled matters in his heart had finally been cleared and he had seen them through. The past was the past. The key thing was to live in the present and the future.
Qin Hao also felt the change in Wu Yantingâs mood. He smiled slightly and didnât say anything else. Let him calm down and slowly resolve the knot in his heart. Seeing that he still had time, Qin Hao casually picked up a stack of newspapers beside his seat. Wu Yanting was business man and naturally liked reading this kind of newspaper, but to Qin Hao, those newspapers were boring. But after a glance, a headline drew his attention.
On the front page of the newspaper, there was a big headline about the business world. Xiang Lan Corporation in Changhai City was facing bankruptcy, and the legend of talented business woman had been shattered. Where would the talented woman go?
Xiang Lan Corporation, the talented girl in the business world, wasnât it An Ru? How could she be broke in such a short time?
Qin Hao thought there must be conspiracy in it. He thought of the Zuo family. Other than the Zuo family, he really couldnât think of another one. Moreover, only the Zuo family had the power to make a powerful company bankrupt within a few days.
It seemed that he had caused troubles to An Ru and her company.
Since the Zuo family had attacked An Ru, what about Su Xue? He didnât know that Su Xue had been taken away by someone. He thought that Su Xue was still in An Ruâs house and she was in danger.
He had to return to Changhai City immediately.
His original plan was to search for the Black Star Stone in the Kumu Kuli Desert, but this plan had to be delayed and he had to return now.
The fastest way to get there was taking flight, but he had to buy a ticket which would need his ID. He was a wanted criminal, and the internet was so developed today. If he used his ID to buy a ticket, he might be arrested soon. With his current strength, he wasnât afraid of being arrested, but that would delay his trip and cause a lot of troubles.
What should he do?
He took a glance at Wu Yanting, who was driving, and said, âBrother Wu, can I ask you for a favor?â
Wu Yanting, who was driving, immediately turned his head and smiled helplessly, âBrother Yuan, my life was saved by you, your problem is my problem, please do not say anything about help. Just say it, what do you need? â
âI want a plane ticket to Changhai City right away.â
âHey, I just thought what a big deal will be, no problem. I have a friend who was working at the airport, and Iâll give him a call right away ⊠â Just as he was about to make a phone call, he suddenly said, âWhat did you say? Right away? Youâre leaving now?â
âYes, I have to leave now. Itâs urgent.â Qin Hao spoke seriously, âTake me to the airport now.â He was anxious to return to Changhai City. He was worried that if he was late, something might happen. For the time being, he could only let Ye Siyu go and make trouble with her in the future.
Wu Yanting was confused. Why did something so urgent suddenly happen? He didnât see Qin Hao making any call, nor anyone coming to talk to him, why was there suddenly an urgent case?
âBrother Yuan, are you really in a hurry? Canât you leave tomorrow? âHe really wanted to treat Qin Hao with a good meal as gratitude.
âBrother Wu, itâs really urgent, please help me. Also, I lost my ID in the valley, so âŠâ Wu Yanting understood what Qin Hao was going to say.
Seeing how anxious Qin Hao was, Wu Yanting could only sigh, âSince thatâs the case, Brother Yuan, I wonât dare to delay you. One day, when you come to Rongcheng County, we shall have a good meal together.â After saying that, he immediately drove the car to the airport.
âOkay, no problem. Brother Wu, thank you so much. I will definitely be friends with you. â Qin Hao said emotionally.
âHaha.â Wu Yanting laughed happily, âItâs my honor to be able to have a friend like you. But before you go to the airport, you have to change your clothes, otherwise people wonât even let you in.â
Looking at his tattered and dirty clothes, Qin Hao smiled awkwardly. Ifhe entered the airport like this, he might be thrown out as a beggar by the security guards.
Soon after, Wu Yanting booked a plane ticket on the phone, bought a set of clothes for Qin Hao, took him to a bathroom to refresh, then personally sent Qin Hao to take the plane. This made Qin Hao sigh in his heart, not everyone was unscrupulous like Ye Siyu and her fellows.
