The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity Chapter 172 - 169: Tailgating Failed, Switching Targets

"I didn’t know it was you."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips, still feeling sowhat guilty.

The two of them returned ho together. Qin Zhao had intended to help him dress his wound, but Chu Yan refused.

"I am a doctor, I can do a better job than you. If you feel guilty, just kiss , and I might consider forgiving you."

Qin Zhao rolled her eyes, "I didn’t hit you on purpose."

After saying that, she muttered, "What is there to feel guilty about?"

"It’s alright, it’s not the first ti I’ve been hit."

Chu Yan sighed, having a certain sense of worry for his future.

"What do you an by that? Am I that violent?"

"No, you are the gentlest."

"......"

Chu Yan realized she was glaring at him and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Reaching out, he pinched her face and smiled, "What? You are not happy when complinted?"

Qin Zhao swatted Chu Yan’s hand away and turned to leave.

She had wanted to go back to her own room but still grabbed the first-aid kit for him.

"Then you take care of it yourself."

Her tone was cold, seemingly indifferent.

But as Chu Yan was about to take the first-aid kit back to his room, she suddenly grabbed his clothes, pulled him aggressively toward her, and quickly kissed him.

Chu Yan didn’t even have ti to react, slowly blinking his eyes.

By the ti he realized what had happened, Qin Zhao had already gone.

With a loud bang, she closed the room door firmly.

His slender, pale fingertips brushed his lips. The refined and noble man stood there for a long ti with his eyes and eyebrows cast down, his expression fluctuating between light and dark before finally chuckling softly.

In the forest just now, there was indeed another person.

And the fresh blood on Chu Yan was not his own.

Knowing that Qin Zhao was going to the bar, Chu Yan worried she might have a private eting with so random man, so he followed her out. Luckily, she was drinking with Su Xiaotong.

It was only on the way ho that a little accident happened.

The man who had hit on Qin Zhao in the bar followed her into the community.

Chu Yan noticed and dealt with that man.

He didn’t want Qin Zhao to see his ruthless side, so he didn’t let her into the forest.

-

In the landscaped forest, the man who had followed Qin Zhao took a long ti to get up.

He limped toward the outside of the community, still shaken by the recent ordeal.

This man, nad Mu De, was the one who had chatted up Qin Zhao and the others in the bar.

Dissatisfied with Qin Zhao’s rejection, he followed her all the way, even trying to make a move on her in the dark forest pathway. But as he erged, soone dragged him deep into the forest.

For the first ti, he experienced the feeling of death looming over him. That person had a slender knife that was thrust directly into his thigh and covered his mouth to prevent any painful cries.

"If you dare follow her again, next ti I’ll cut your throat."

The icy voice was like a whisper from a demon.

The sharp pain in his body and the threat from that person almost made him pass out.

Back in the van, Mu De recalled the incident with a shudder. He didn’t know when that person had noticed he was following the woman, let alone how he had approached him stealthily.

Appearing without a sound, like a ghost.

If possible, that person could definitely kill him without a trace!

"It seems I have to find a new target."

Mu De pressed hard on the wound on his thigh, his eyes showing unwillingness, but he had no choice but to give up.

The woman from before, whether in looks or temperant, fit his criteria perfectly.

It truly was a pity.

It seems soone even more terrifying than he was watching her.

Mu De tore off his shirt, made a simple bandage for his wound, and then cleaned his hands before searching out a palm-sized clay figure from a compartnt in the van.

His eyes emitted a strange, excited gleam as he looked at the figure in his hands.

"Whether I can defy fate or not, it all depends on you."

Mu De muttered to himself before he put the figure away.

He thought about the bar incident, where those two won ordered a whole table’s worth of drinks, easily amounting to tens of thousands, but it seed that the cuter woman was the one who paid.

Though she wasn’t as stunning as the other woman, it was clear she was the one with more money.

As long as soone was rich enough, it didn’t really matter if they weren’t as attractive.

Mu De carefully recalled and finally rembered where Su Xiaotong had gotten out of the car.

He drove away, and first went to the hospital to get his wound treated.

In the following days, Mu De spent every day squatting at the entrance of the residential complex where Su Xiaotong lived, observing her comings and goings, and eventually figured out which apartnt was hers.

After Su Xiaotong blocked Qin Yu, she also stopped taking his calls.

Qin Yu hurried back from his business trip.

On the day of his return, Su Xiaotong, still fond of him, eventually answered his call.

"Why did you delete ?"

"I deleted you because I wanted to, what does it have to do with you?"

Su Xiaotong’s tone wasn’t very nice, but Qin Yu didn’t seem to mind.

He said helplessly, "You deleted too quickly, there was one more thing I hadn’t managed to say."

"What was it?"

"The ultimate goal of my being with you was not to date, but to marry."

"....."

Suddenly hearing a long-awaited confession, Su Xiaotong was stunned.

Qin Yu, not hearing her speak, felt very nervous.

He urgently said, "When your parents introduced you to , their intent was for us to get married. There’s nothing wrong with thinking this way, right?"

"No, no problem."

Su Xiaotong stumbled over her words, feeling a little voice inside her screaming in excitent.

She repressed her thrilled emotions and said to him, "Wait a mont, I need to calm down a bit."

Su Xiaotong hung up the phone and then ecstatically jumped onto her sofa.

"Ah, ah, ah! You dog of a man, not bad at all, huh?!"

She was about to call Qin Zhao to share the good news when she heard the doorbell ring.

"Is this Miss Su? Here’s your delivery."

Opening the door, there stood a delivery man.

In the delivery man’s arms was a large bouquet of red roses.

"I didn’t order flowers."

Su Xiaotong stared at the bouquet of red roses, feeling her heartbeat quicken inexplicably.

"They must have been sent by soone else, but the person didn’t leave a na."

Hearing the delivery man’s words, Su Xiaotong imdiately thought of Qin Yu.

In an instant, the gloominess of the past few days vanished, and Su Xiaotong happily accepted the roses.

However, the bouquet of roses hadn’t been properly handled; there was no wrapping paper around them. They were simply tied together with a string, the thorns on the stems still intact.

As the delivery man handed over the roses, a thorn pierced Su Xiaotong’s finger.

"Ah, is it bleeding? I’m sorry."

The delivery man quickly apologized and took out a handkerchief to help Su Xiaotong wipe away the blood.

"I was supposed to wrap them, but I’ve been really busy."

"It’s fine, they look beautiful unwrapped."

Su Xiaotong didn’t mind the small detail, as long as they were from Qin Yu.

She happily brought the roses into the house, thinking of finding a vase for them, and she didn’t notice the delivery man’s gaze was a bit unusual.

Mu De turned around and left, looking at the bloodied handkerchief in his hand and revealing a satisfied smile.
