Chapter 60
On the open balcony, the tea had gone cold, losing its fragrance.
Qiao Ying leisurely returned, looking as if she had just taken a stroll in her own backyard, oblivious to the people around her wielding weapons. She seemed quite content. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
"Mr. Qin, is the business negotiation finished? It seems to be getting late, and I'm a bit hungry," Qiao Ying said.
"Miss Qiao is hungry," Qin Hanyue stood up and walked to Qiao Ying's side. "Then let's go back."
However, before they could leave, the dark muzzles of guns were all aimed at them.
Qin Hanyue turned around and coldly looked at Yisaisi.
Yisaisi bit on his cigarette, his gaze lingering on Qin Hanyue for a few seconds before settling on Qiao Ying.
After a moment, Yisaisi raised his hand, signaling his men to lower their guns.
"You have three days," Qin Hanyue said to Yisaisi in his native language, then he and his men left briskly.
"Boss, why did you let them go? We had the perfect opportunity handed to us; we should have taken action," one of Yisaisi's men approached him, making a throat-slashing gesture with his hand.
Yisaisi shook his head slightly, his gaze following Qiao Ying, who was by Qin Hanyue's side.
Initially, he had regarded Qiao Ying as an insignificant woman by Qin Hanyue's side, no different from the other two in his arms.
But just now, Qiao Ying reminded him of that enchanting girl from China.
And that girl was no mere empty vessel.
Although the girl hadn't made a move back then, his intuition told him that she would be more terrifying than Nyes, who had taken his eye.
The bloody lesson taught Yisaisi that those who appeared harmless but possessed an extraordinary calmness were not to be underestimated.
One Qin Hanyue was already making him wary; if that girl was also... then anything he did would be tantamount to seeking his own death.
Qin Hanyue and his group walked out of the village and drove away.
The car had only traveled a dozen meters when a loud explosion resounded.
Then, like a twitching body part, one loud explosion followed another.
Qin Yan, who had just left the main village and was still on high alert, was startled, nearly jumping out of his seat. He hurriedly lowered his head to take cover, his heart about to burst out of his chest.
The deafening blast rang in people's ears, buzzing incessantly.
Qin Yan looked up and saw a large blaze and billowing black smoke rising from the village behind them.
Noises of chaos continuously emanated from the village.
At the moment of the explosion, the guards at the entrance were so frightened that they nearly fell to the ground, their faces turning pale. After recovering, they hastily ran toward the village.
Qin Yan, bewildered, asked, "What's going on?"
Qin Hanyue remained unfazed, seemingly mentally prepared for the explosion. It didn't startle him. He replied nonchalantly, "With the dry weather, things weren't stored properly and self-ignited, causing the explosion. Let's go."
Dry weather?
Qin Yan vaguely felt that this was directed at him, so he turned his head and indeed saw Qin Hanyue looking at him with a calm expression.
Qin Yan felt a chill in his neck for no reason, "I, I have two more things to say."
Qin Hanyue said, "We'll talk after dinner."
Qin Yan's legs trembled, "Okay."
He hurriedly left from between the two.
Just as he took a few steps, he heard the man's warm and gentle voice asking the young lady, "Is Miss Qiao also afraid to be alone in the room during the day?"
The difference in treatment!
Qiao Ying replied, "It's not about being afraid of the people in that village blaming Mr. Qin for the explosion, I'm afraid they will cause trouble for us."
Qin Hanyue fell silent, comforting the girl with a smile, although there was a hint of helplessness on his face.
Qin Hanyue invited her into the room.
With the urgent matter at hand, Qin Yan could only call Qin Hanyue in the room.
Qin Yan suspected that the explosion was the work of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps, who had been following them all along, in order to frame them. The purpose behind this was undoubtedly related to Qiao Ying.
Qin Yan became even more curious about the grudge between Qiao Ying and the Hurricane Mercenary Corps.
Qin Yan's analysis was logical and well-founded.
Qin Hanyue, however, commented, "You've got a brain, but not much of it."
And then he hung up the phone.
Qin Yan: "..."
The signal in the village was indeed poor, and Qiao Ying's messages hadn't been sent. Now she was sitting on the sofa in the living room, resending them to Qiao Yi.
While they were chatting, a sudden pain bloomed in her lower abdomen.
A warm flow followed immediately.
Qiao Ying's typing hands paused, and her eyebrows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" The man by the French windows put away his phone and turned around to see Qiao Ying's expression.
The situation between Qiao Ying and the Hurricane Mercenary Corps hadn't been figured out yet, and now another big explosion happened. Qin Yan held his phone, deep in thought, when Qin Hanyue's call came in.
When he heard Qin Hanyue's instructions, Qin Yan, with an IQ of 195 and ranking in the top ten of the hacker leaderboard, had his mind "snap" and fall into a valley.
After a long while, just before Qin Hanyue lost his patience, Qin Yan managed to retrieve his thoughts.
At the moment he boarded the helicopter, Qin Yan's expression was still as colorful as graffiti.
Flying in a majestic helicopter across the M Continent to find sanitary napkins, Qin Yan thought to himself, "If this were to get out, not only would he be ridiculed, but even his master and the entire God's Armed Alliance would become a laughingstock."
Qin Hanyue poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Qiao Ying when she came out of the restroom.
"M Continent lacks nothing, except for things that girls need. It will take some time to get them. Please be patient."
