Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Not Afraid of Death
At that mont, Tang Zhonghan glowered with rage, his body emanating a deadly aura.
Ren Jiang, gripped by the collar, was almost scared to death, and quickly shook his head, saying, "The Xiao Family only arranged for
to watch Qin Nian; there absolutely couldn’t be anyone else!"
Tang Zhonghan roared, "Then where is Qin Nian?"
He had finally had the opportunity to repair his relationship with Qin Chuan, but in the blink of an eye, Qin Nian had completely disappeared.
Even with his Energizing Skill Middle Stage Realm cultivation, he could not sense Qin Nian’s presence.
Caught off guard, Ren Jiang was also bewildered, his face filled with panic as he said, "I, I don’t know either!"
Just at that mont, his cell phone suddenly started to ring.
Although Tang Zhonghan was anxious, he knew that panic was useless; finding Qin Nian was the priority. Seeing Ren Jiang’s cell phone ring, he promptly asked, "Who is calling?"
Ren Jiang dared to take out his cell phone, glanced at the caller ID, and hurriedly said, "It’s Xiao Qing from the Xiao Family. Should I answer it?"
After a silence of about two seconds, Tang Zhonghan stared icily at Ren Jiang and said, "Say what I instructed you to say earlier."
"Yes!"
Ren Jiang quickly complied, then pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Qing’s angry voice ca through imdiately, "You useless thing, why did it take you so long to answer my call? Qin Nian is within your sight, right?"
Ren Jiang glanced at Tang Zhonghan, then said, "Boss, rest assured, with just one command from you, I will have that woman’s life or death in my hands within five seconds!"
Xiao Qing coldly said, "Keep a close watch on that woman, and wait for my call at any ti!"
The caller hung up right after saying that.
Tang Zhonghan had just been suspecting whether the Xiao Family had arranged for another strong person to watch Qin Nian; after this call, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Tang Zhonghan said coldly, "You will help
search for Qin Nian. Dare to do anything else, and I will kill you imdiately!"
Where would Ren Jiang dare to say no? He hastily agreed.
He was rely a Martial Artist at the Early Dark Energy Stage Realm and was nothing more than trash in front of an Energizing Skill Strong.
While they were employing their full effort to search for Qin Nian, through a remote country lane obscured by tall cornfields,
Qin Nian asked in confusion, "Grandpa, this isn’t the way to Duyin Mountain, is it?"
"This is a shortcut."
Qin Wang chuckled and teased, "Little girl, are you afraid your grandpa would sell you off?"
"Grandpa would never sell ! If you really want to sell, just tell
in advance, and I’ll help you count the money!"
"Hahahaha...."
The grandfather and granddaughter laughed heartily together.
anwhile, in the provincial city, at Yunfeng Summit.
Ever since he hung up Song Yan’s call, Qin Chuan had been completely frozen in place, feeling like he was dreaming.
Xiao ngyi was actually pregnant with his child, and it happened just like that?
At Song Qingshan’s birthday feast, just as Song Qingshan was about to betroth Song Yan to him, Xiao ngyi suddenly appeared, refusing on his behalf.
At that ti, he found it quite strange; he had only t Xiao ngyi once, so why would she make such a crucial decision for him at such an important event.
Xiao ngyi even wanted him to marry her, and if he had agreed at that ti, she would have undoubtedly gone with him to get the marriage certificate without hesitation.
It was only today that he realized that Xiao ngyi, at that ti, had already discovered she was pregnant. Moreover, being forced by the Xiao Family to marry into the Chen Family, she had no choice but to think of him as her last resort.
After a long while, Qin Chuan gave a bitter smile and muttered to himself, "Foolish woman, why didn’t you tell ?"
Suddenly, a fierce aura spread out from him.
"You dare to bully my woman?"
The mont the words fell, he had already vanished from the room.
The East Sea Grand Hotel was exceptionally bustling today, with the hotel staff busily moving in and out since early morning.
Approaching noon, the parking lot at the entrance was already filled with various luxury cars worth millions, and there were also many internet celebrities live-streaming.
For these internet celebrities, whether it was the variety of luxury cars they didn’t usually see or Xiao ngyi, the great beauty known as the first among the four beauties of the provincial city, both were top-tier traffic attractors.
Around the East Sea Grand Hotel, there were tens of strong martial artists, their eyes sparkling with sharpness, ready to act on command at any mont.
East Sea Grand Hotel, Chairman’s office.
A corpulent middle-aged man paced back and forth in the office, his face filled with anxiety.
Just then, soone knocked on the office door. He shivered, steadied his mind, and then said coldly, "Co in!"
"Chairman, all the guests on the list have arrived. The engagent banquet will start in ten minutes. When will you make an appearance?"
The person speaking was a middle-aged man in a suit, with a trace of doubt on his face as if to say, for the Chen Family’s engagent banquet, you surely wouldn’t miss making an appearance, would you?
Huang Jin frowned and did not respond imdiately, his face struggling as if he was hesitating about sothing.
After about a dozen seconds of silence, he suddenly looked up at the man and asked, "Zhang Shuai, how long have you been with ?"
Zhang Shuai was taken aback, not expecting Huang Jin to ask such a question at this ti.
But after only a brief mont of surprise, he quickly responded respectfully, "I have been with you since you took the position of chairman. It has been twenty years."
Huang Jin nodded, looking at his longest-serving subordinate before suddenly saying, "I have an assignnt for you next. It cos with a high risk factor. A slight carelessness could cost both you and
our lives. Are you willing to accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuai was completely stunned. What could it be that might cost them their lives?
Zhang Shuai’s breathing quickened for a mont. As Huang Jin’s closest subordinate, he knew very well that this was his biggest opportunity. If he could seize it and succeed, the future would be limitless.
But if it were to fail, the price would be his life.
Although the East Sea Grand Hotel was the Huang Family’s property, in reality, it was filled with people arranged by Ouyang i.
Despite having followed Huang Jin for twenty years, because of his loyalty to Huang Jin, he had always been unable to get promoted.
Even though Zhang Shuai was not clear about what Huang Jin wanted him to do, he could vaguely feel that it might have sothing to do with Ouyang i.
Huang Jin then said, "You can refuse. I will not hold it against you for this."
He was acutely aware that if he failed in what was to co, he would die horribly, and Zhang Shuai, whom he would assign for this task, would also be implicated.
But he didn’t know who else to turn to, other than this most loyal and long-standing subordinate.
With the ti for the engagent banquet at twelve o’clock drawing ever closer, Huang Jin was becoming more anxious.
Just as he was about to give up, Zhang Shuai suddenly nodded firmly and said sincerely, "Chairman, if it weren’t for you taking
in, I probably would have died twenty years ago."
"It can be said that this life of mine was given by you. It does not matter if the task you want
to do is dangerous, even if it’s a definite death sentence, as long as you command it, I am willing to face death!"
