Qin Jinchuan and Tang Xi rushed to the Imperial Capital Grand Hotel, with Xiao Linye arriving right behind them.
When they arrived, Chen Wei and Ji Nan were already in a tense standoff with the opposing group, on the verge of a fight.
However, even after Ji Nan had made a move, the others showed no intention of letting them in.
This thoroughly infuriated Ji Nan.
"These bastards!" Enraged, Qin Jinchuan strode forward and kicked away the man blocking Ji Nan.
Ji Nan’s face was already bruised.
When Qin Jinchuan had suggested storming in earlier, Ji Nan had already begun to fight them.
Unfortunately, outnumbered and overpowered, he was no match for them.
Qin Jinchuan roared, "Ji Nan, call for backup!"
"Already did. They’re on their way."
Seeing Qin Jinchuan already fighting, Xiao Linye knew with even greater certainty that tonight’s events were far from simple.
A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
He pulled sothing from his waist and fired it into the air with a loud BANG.
The chaotic scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone present stared at Xiao Linye. Chen Wei and Ji Nan froze when they saw what he held.
Qin Jinchuan’s lips tightened as he looked at Xiao Linye. In the instant their eyes t, his heart felt suddenly hollow.
Xiao Linye’s thin lips parted slightly as he spoke, his voice icy, "Kang Xuan."
"Yes, Master."
Kang Xuan stepped forward respectfully.
Danger flickered in Xiao Linye’s eyes. "Find them!"
"Yes."
At his icy command to "Find them!", everyone jolted back to their senses.
They imdiately scattered, quickly searching the private rooms.
In less than ten minutes, Kang Xuan and Ji Nan returned to Xiao Linye’s and Qin Jinchuan’s sides, respectively.
"Master, they’re in Private Room 3!"
Ji Nan relayed the sa ssage to Qin Jinchuan.
Qin Jinchuan and Xiao Linye exchanged another glance. Qin Jinchuan subconsciously looked at the object in Xiao Linye’s hand.
They hurried to Private Room 3.
The entrance was guarded by nurous bodyguards.
Clearly, their adversaries tonight had co well-prepared, determined to get Ye Yuning.
Qin Jinchuan eyed the twenty bodyguards at the entrance. Upon seeing them, the n were already brandishing their weapons.
Qin Jinchuan narrowed his eyes dangerously and glanced at Xiao Linye. "Should we—"
Before he could finish, Xiao Linye raised his hand. BANG!
If they hadn’t been sure what the sound outside was earlier, they certainly understood now.
The scene imdiately descended into chaos.
Seeing their companions fall, the thugs charged, their faces nacing.
Murderous intent flashed in Xiao Linye’s eyes. His movents were swift and precise.
Soon, most of the opposing n were down.
Seeing the extent of the chaos the opposition had caused, Qin Jinchuan’s eyes also blazed with fury.
With their exceptional skills, he and Xiao Linye, along with Ji Nan and Kang Xuan, quickly took down the remaining dozen or so n.
Xiao Linye was already at the door.
He kicked the door open.
When he saw the scene inside, his mind went blank with a sudden BUZZ, and a tidal wave of rage completely engulfed him.
Qin Jinchuan threw off the last attacker and rushed over.
The mont he followed Xiao Linye’s gaze, his own expression shattered.
"Yuning!"
Qin Jinchuan called out, his voice numb. Looking at the scene, his entire body went numb.
Blood. So much blood. Ye Yuning was covered in it.
In her hand, she clutched a blood-drenched steak knife.
Her eyes, hollow and vacant, t Xiao Linye’s. They were shot through with crimson veins.
Qin Jinchuan subconsciously started forward, but in the next instant, a dark shadow flashed past him.
It was Xiao Linye.
As he entered, he was already shrugging off his suit jacket.
He wrapped it around the heavily pregnant Ye Yuning, holding her and murmuring gently, "It’s okay. It’s all right now."
Ye Yuning’s hand, still clutching the steak knife, trembled. She said stiffly, "I... I think I killed soone."
That sentence seed to drain all her strength; she couldn’t utter another word.
Xiao Linye said nothing. Neither did Qin Jinchuan. Upon hearing her words, both n’s breath caught in their throats.
Their gazes fell to the floor, where two n lay motionless.
Xiao Linye pressed her head tightly against his chest. "It’s okay," he murmured, his voice magnetic and as gentle as he could make it. That gentleness instantly cald Ye Yuning’s chaotic heart.
Her consciousness had already been hanging by a thread. Now, with Xiao Linye’s reassurance, she couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted completely.
Xiao Linye swept her into his arms and turned to leave the private room.
As he passed Qin Jinchuan, Xiao Linye paused. The look he gave him was filled with a chilling, murderous aura.
"Everything you claid to before was utterly laughable!"
Qin Jinchuan’s breath hitched. He inadvertently glanced at Ye Yuning in Xiao Linye’s arms, and his gaze fell upon a large gash on her arm.
She... she actually...
He couldn’t bear to imagine what Ye Yuning must have endured before they arrived.
Tang Xi stood at the entrance to the private room, her legs feeling as heavy as lead as she looked at Ye Yuning’s horrifying state.
The events that had just unfolded reeled in her mind, leaving her head BUZZING.
What kind of dangerous life had Ye Yuning been leading all these years, constantly treading a knife’s edge? Every ti she ntioned the awful incidents at social functions, she always sounded so nonchalant.
Yet... beneath her glamorous facade, she had been enduring such trendous risks.
