Boarding Life Chapter 529 529:

"Hmph, Qin Qi, you really are a sly fox. Since you're not dense, you must know that your little life today is likely not going to be spared!"

In the darkness, a shadow slowly erged.

The figure was wearing a suit and looked to be about fifty years old, with a close-cropped haircut and narrow eyes, clearly a person of deep thoughts and ruthless actions!

Qin Qi's expression was cold, "Are you one of Cai Nian's n?"

The man replied chillingly, "That's right, I'm Cai Nian's right-hand secretary. Heh, Qin Qi, it seems that tonight, Xu Qiaoqiao and Ling Feixue aren't here to protect you!"

Qin Qi said fiercely, "So, you're acting so blatantly. How are you going to explain this to the Governance Departnt?"

The right-hand secretary sneered, "Qin Qi, you sure know a lot. Yes, we do have concerns about the Governance Departnt, but as long as we eliminate you silently and without a trace, do you think they'll pursue it deeply?"

"You're smart, but clearly not smart enough. You have no idea that the Governance Departnt is also made up of people, and since it's made up of people, there's room for the exchange of interests. Who would want to provoke so botherso trouble for no reason?"

"As long as I do it seamlessly, without causing them embarrassnt within the rules, do you think the Governance Departnt will specifically protect your mom?"

Qin Qi clenched his fists tightly.

He knew he had been too careless.

His thinking had fallen into a trap.

He always thought Cai Nian's people would only act against him during a brief window, after coordinating with the Governance Departnt.

But he overlooked that the Governance Departnt allowing Cai Nian a shortcut essentially ant their so-called order maintenance didn't serve as any deterrent.

Qin Qi gritted his teeth, realizing that only he could protect himself, but he underestimated the opponent's resolve to kill him, and never thought they'd act so quickly.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Wait, sothing's off, aren't there supposed to be two of you? How co it's just you now? Apparently, the Governance Departnt does have so deterrent force!"

"Heh, dealing with you, I'm enough on my own, why would I need others to make a move too?"

The right-hand secretary twisted his neck, "Alright, now hand over the item. Qin Qi, I might consider leaving you with a whole corpse so you can rest in peace!"

"Thing? What thing?" Qin Qi pretended not to understand.

The right-hand secretary sneered, "Qin Qi, do you think saying you don't know I'll spare you? Don't worry, if you dare not hand over that item, I have ways to make you tell once I've got you!"

Qin Qi squinted his eyes, then suddenly his gaze shifted, speaking slowly, "Are you talking about that page?"

"So, it's really with you." The right-hand secretary said harshly, "Did you read that page?"

"I did look, but I couldn't understand its content at all," Qin Qi responded honestly.

The right-hand secretary sneered, "Well, that makes sense, the content on the Yinquan page is in an ancient script. A country bumpkin like you couldn't possibly understand it, could you? Alright, hand it over obediently!"

Qin Qi showed a face of discouragent, "I know I'm not your match, and I don't expect to live. In retrospect, offending Cai Nian was indeed my biggest mistake. I'll give you the page now, but I have one condition!"

The right-hand secretary responded coldly, "You dare to ask for conditions? But whatever, since you're as good as dead anyway, speak!"

Qin Qi stated earnestly, "First, spare my family. And then, tell where my apprentice Wu Shuangshuang is!"

"Don't worry, once I have the page, I won't bother hurting those ordinary people. As for Wu Shuangshuang, I can only tell you he's not in our company!" the right-hand secretary replied grimly, "Enough talk, hand over the page!"

Qin Qi, showing a look of resigned acceptance, took out that precious Yinquan page from his pocket.

Even in the pitch-dark night, the Yinquan page emanated its unique glow, and just a glance was enough to reveal its exceptional nature!

Seeing the page, the right-hand secretary's eyes also lit up with a glint, "Exactly, it's the Yinquan page!"

With this page, he could return and complete his mission, saving his own neck.

As he intended to step forward to take it, he suddenly felt sothing was off.

Was Qin Qi really soone who'd surrender so easily?

"Tch, seems I might have been overly cautious. Even if this kid has so plans, could he possibly threaten ?"

In his view, Qin Qi was just a third-stage Real Person class kid!

Though his strength was a stage higher than previously gathered information, to him, Qin Qi was still an ant he could crush at any mont.

Thinking of this, he maintained a hands-off stance and walked step by step toward Qin Qi.

As the distance between them decreased.

Qin Qi's gaze suddenly shifted sharply, an icy chill swept over, and the aura around him turned turbulent and violent.

"Perish!"

He swiftly put away the Yinquan page, concentrating a surge of milky-white True Qi in his palm, and in a flash, struck like lightning toward the right-hand secretary.

He knew that his ans couldn't threaten the enemy from afar, so luring the right-hand secretary closer was his only chance!

"Four-section Strike!"

Right off the bat, he unleashed the move that previously left even Xu Qiaoqiao in a miserable state!

"Hmph, I knew you were up to sothing!"

The right-hand secretary sneered, seemingly unsurprised, "But with your amateur skills, you hope to sneak attack ? Ridiculous!"

A rapid surge of Protective True Qi enveloped him.

In his eyes, the Protective True Qi was more than enough to make Qin Qi impotent.

But soon, he was stunned.

"No, that's not right. How are you fifth-stage Real Person level? And what kind of move is this? How could you have such a violent and surging degree of True Qi at the fifth-stage Real Person level!"

Panic flickered on his face as he realized his Protective True Qi couldn't withstand Qin Qi's attack!

But by the ti he reacted and wanted to retreat, it was already too late!

Qin Qi's Four-section Strike had already hit his Protective True Qi.

In an instant, the True Qi shield shattered layer by layer, and the surging True Qi from the Four-section Strike directly engulfed the right-hand secretary's body.

Yet the right-hand secretary was incredibly quick to respond; a stream-like True Qi shot toward Qin Qi.

Qin Qi didn't dare to maximize the power of the Four-section Strike and had to retreat swiftly!

Coming back to his senses!

The stream-like Protective True Qi once again enveloped the right-hand secretary entirely, but his face was noticeably paler, and blood oozed from his right arm.

He said grimly, "Alright, alright, alright, Qin Qi, who'd have thought you even mastered the Qi Concealing Technique, fooling even my eyes!"

"Fifth-stage Real Person, no wonder Red Flower Company and Lingshu Company are vying for you, your talent is indeed terrifying. But sadly, you only get one chance, miss it, and there's no second one!"

Qin Qi realized he had failed to kill the right-hand secretary even with this most golden opportunity, and knew it would be difficult to get a second chance.

The prior clash with Xu Qiaoqiao had already made him acutely aware of the gap in strength between him and Shangjing experts.

He didn't hesitate anymore, swiftly turned, intending to escape.

After all, the footwork he used last ti to shake off Wang Qiang could be used this ti to evade the opponent as well!

However, in the next mont.

His expression sank.

"What's going on..."
