"Are you alright?"
Ye Qiu ignored everyone and walked over to Lin Chuxue, asking.
"I'm fine..."
Lin Chuxue shook her head and looked at him gratefully.
Luckily, these thugs were cowardly enough.
Ye Qiu fought with the man in black for so long, and during that ti, none of them dared to intervene.
Now that Ye Qiu had caught his breath, the green-haired monster was scared stiff.
So Lin Chuxue had no need to worry anymore.
"As long as you're okay! I have so things to take care of; I'll leave first. Next ti, let's have a al together!"
Ye Qiu nodded and bid farewell to Lin Chuxue.
Amidst the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, he hurried away.
"Who is this guy really? Even the green-haired guy knelt to him?"
"F*ck... who exactly is this kid?"
"He must be so big shot. Did you see the green-haired guy's expression? Like a mouse facing a cat..."
After Ye Qiu walked away, the surrounding people began to whisper among themselves.
On the other side, Ye Qiu kept speeding up, rushing back to the villa.
After the fight with this man in black from the Blood Cross, unease lingered in his heart.
Even soone just monitoring or scouting was a Transformation-level expert.
Then the people coming later from Blood Cross won't be so simple.
The Blood Cross ultimately learned that he wasn't dead.
And they seed to co too quickly!
This made Ye Qiu have to tense up.
If Heaven ca in person again, the outco wouldn't be the sa as last ti...
What would have been a run of over ten minutes, took Ye Qiu just over three minutes.
Returning to the villa, he couldn't wait to call the laboratory side to ask if there had been any progress.
However, just as he picked up his phone, he noticed a shadow flash in the living room.
"Cat."
"Hehe! King, you still caught !"
A dark figure appeared on the living room sofa, Cat smiled at Ye Qiu.
"Did the King encounter sothing?"
Seeing Ye Qiu's uneasy deanor, Cat asked.
"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded without hiding anything.
He recounted the encounter with the Blood Cross elite just now.
Cat listened and felt a bit puzzled.
"Why are they moving so quickly?"
"I'm not too sure, maybe they ca to Huaxia with another purpose this ti!"
Ye Qiu shook his head.
He gave up thinking about things he couldn't understand.
"By the way, you must secretly strengthen protection for Bai Lan, investigate the recent movents of dostic forces, and keep an eye on Blood Cross's actions.
I always feel their purpose in coming to Huaxia isn't simple!"
Ye Qiu instructed Cat.
"Alright!"
Cat didn't say much, nodded, and left the living room directly.
After Cat left, the empty villa quieted down again.
Ye Qiu called the laboratory side, and the news he received was pretty much the sa.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu continued to practice.
He desperately wanted to break through to a higher realm before the real forces of Blood Cross arrived!
"Ye Qiu, co out to eat!"
After soti, Bai Lan's voice ca from the living room.
The scent of dishes wafted in through the door, reaching Ye Qiu's nose, and his stomach growled involuntarily.
He devoured the al, clearing the table.
These days, Bai Lan had been cooking personally, and Ye Qiu had unwittingly beco addicted.
After dinner, Ye Qiu rarely lay quietly by the window, looking up at the outside.
"What's wrong? Did sothing happen?"
Being a girl, despite running the business world, Bai Lan didn't lack a gentle and delicate heart.
Seeing Ye Qiu seem burdened with concerns, she approached and softly asked.
"Nothing!"
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head.
He didn't want to share his worries with Bai Lan.
After all, the Bai Group had recently undergone many events, enough to worry Bai Lan for a while.
So Ye Qiu didn't want to add to her troubles.
"No matter what happens, rember to speak it out!"
Seeing Ye Qiu reluctant to say much, Bai Lan didn't press further, just gave a reminder.
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, looking at Bai Lan with particular tenderness.
Bai Lan also cooperatively leaned gently against Ye Qiu's chest like a little bird depending on people.
Just as Ye Qiu's heart was growing restless and he wanted to do more, a sudden urgent phone ring interrupted their intimacy.
The call was from Lan Ying, and it kept ringing.
Ye Qiu answered the call, only to hear a cacophony on the other end.
"F*ck you, did you hear speaking, you bitch, who're you acting for?"
"Yeah! Acting all pure, huh? Just give in to our boss!"
"No, don't co any closer..."
After a noise, several voices ca through the phone.
"Lan Ying? What's going on?"
Feeling an ominous premonition, Ye Qiu hurriedly asked.
"Ye... Brother Ye, help ..."
After a mont, Lan Ying's panicked cry for help ca through the phone.
It seed trouble had found her.
"Where are you?"
Without spare words, Ye Qiu asked quickly.
"At the Capital... Inn, hurry, hurry!"
Lan Ying's tone was urgent, speaking intermittently.
Capital Inn...
Ye Qiu murmured, hurriedly hanging up the phone.
Without changing clothes, wearing slippers and shorts, he dashed out the door.
...
"Sir, alone? Can I get you anything?"
The doorman asked with a smile.
"Not eating!"
Ye Qiu replied flatly, heading up the stairs, going straight upstairs.
He chose not to take the elevator as he needed to calm his slightly anxious emotions.
What if they had hard Lan Ying? What if she had already been humiliated?
...
His hurried footsteps echoed on the stairs, forcibly suppressing his impulses, and he circled the second floor.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The cornermost room gave off a commotion.
Ye Qiu dashed straight over.
What he saw was a densely packed crowd; many nosy diners had surrounded the room completely.
Inside the booth, there stood over ten people.
The leader dressed sharply, adorned with dazzling designer brands.
He faced a girl, talking animatedly, spewing foul words now and then.
At the booth entrance, a group of people were punching and kicking a man.
Maybe tired from hitting him, they stopped.
The man must have been beaten badly, not just bruised and swollen, but he couldn't even stand.
He could only helplessly watch the happenings inside the booth, fiercely...
"Hey, these people are really bullying with force!"
"What a pity for the girl, she's so beautiful!"
"Her boyfriend is really spineless, can't even protect her..."
"Alright, just watch, don't speak too much, or trouble may co to us!"
