Chapter 317
Qiao Ying responded with a sound and asked, "Are you sleeping downstairs?"
Qin Hanyue said, "Yeah."
He was sleeping in the room whose door had been destroyed by the robot. Qin Hanyue, with his precious life, had never suffered such humiliation from young. Now, for Qiao Ying's safety, he endured Ye Si's cold face and verbal attacks, forcibly staying under someone else's roof with thick skin.
Qin Hanyue gave her his phone, "Send it to me."
Then he got up, "Let me button up your clothes for you."
But Qiao Ying said, "No need."
Qin Hanyue thought she was shy, "Let me button it up, it must be hard for you to do it yourself."
He saw Qiao Ying look up at him, then she said expressionlessly, "I don't wear anything to bed."
Qin Hanyue was startled, "......"
His face reddened slightly, then he asked warily, "Ye Si won't come to wake you up in the morning, right?"
Qiao Ying said, "He wouldn't dare."
Qin Hanyue knew she had quite a temper when woken up. He didn't know if it was because he was lucky that he had woken her up several times before but emerged unharmed, or was he an exception?
Qin Hanyue said, "Then I'll come help apply the ointment for you again tonight."
Qiao Ying didn't respond to him but said, "Take a bottle of the ointment to use."
Qin Hanyue understood as he looked at the scars on his palms, "Okay."
He took the ointment, then bent over, moved closer to her, and kissed her on the cheek, "Good night."
Qiao Ying: "......"
The next morning,
Cheng Jinyan was holding a glass of water while walking out of his room, sipping it.
When he passed Qiao Ying's door, he heard it open and murmured, "So early." Then he took two steps back.
He lazily leaned against the wall and asked Qiao Ying who had just come out, "Did you tell Qin Hanyue about Blood Shadow?"
Qiao Ying: "Yeah."
Cheng Jinyan: "Alright, got it."
Then he showed a pained expression,
"You two were on the run together for two to three months, it was indeed a great opportunity for him to pursue you. And you were injured, having to rely on him for everything. Just the two of you alone..."
Cheng Jinyan sighed, resigned, "How far has it developed?"
Qiao Ying: "Mr. Qin is very prim and traditional."
Cheng Jinyan let out a confused "hmm", "What does that mean? You took the initiative but he rejected you?"
Cheng Jinyan's expression became even more painful. A cabbage that took the initiative to let itself be plucked was much more heartbreaking than a cabbage that got plucked.
Qiao Ying: "Is that possible?"
How could she admit such a thing.
Cheng Jinyan: "You gave me a shock. A gentleman with virtues, that's quite admirable."
The two walked downstairs.
Qin Hanyue looked at Ye Si while the latter stood at the bottom of the stairs, facing him expressionlessly. Qiao Ying was right, this guy would get jealous if he got a little closer to Cheng Jinyan.
Cheng Jinyan walked towards Ye Si, "Get up and go eat breakfast if you're up. I'll go ask Xiao Ying how the location tracking is going."
And was about to go upstairs.
Ye Si asked unpleasantly, "What were you chatting with him about?"
Cheng Jinyan: "What can we chat about, organizing the surveillance, he's the leader of the Divine Arms anyway, very experienced."
Ye Si's face darkened.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Jinyan really wanted to tell him that Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue were already together, to piss him off properly.
But he decided against it after thinking twice.
This guy was uncontrollable when enraged.
Upstairs in the room,
Qiao Ying looked at the computer with an unpleasant expression. That cunning old fox Meihua Q had indeed given false coordinates.
"How is it going? Judging from your expression, it doesn't seem to be going well."
Cheng Jinyan walked in and took a look at her computer screen.
Qiao Ying: "The coordinates are false, but when Meihua Q blurted out Bailing Sea in the heat of the moment back then, it should be true. The general location can't be wrong. Knowing his sly personality, he must not be in the West Sea Region, 80% chance he's in the East Sea Region."
Cheng Jinyan: "Our men can get there the fastest by tomorrow. Let them search around then, blow the place up if found."
Qiao Ying: "Shadow Dark has many boltholes. I already know quite a few. Blowing up random ones won't work. After blowing up most of them, we should head to JOKER's lair."
"Mr. Cheng, we've captured a Shadow Dark assassin."
One of Ye Si's men suddenly came to report.
"Let's go take a look." Cheng Jinyan got up.
The two went downstairs to see over a dozen guns pointed at the man tied up in the middle of the great hall.
Ye Si said, "These Shadow Dark punks sure react fast. Baby, take a look at how to deal with this guy who came here looking to die."
Qiao Ying asked, "Searched him?"
Ye Si said, "Searched. Just had a gun and a dagger on him."
Qiao Ying's gaze swept over the man whose shoulder was bleeding from a gunshot. His face was deathly pale.
The man was also looking at her.
The man was neatly dressed without the slightest dishevelment of having fought, not even a speck of dust on him.
Something was off.
The shoulder wasn't a fatal spot. With the physique and survival skills of Shadow Dark assassins, a shoulder gunshot wouldn't allow him to be captured so easily.
Suddenly, the man's expression changed.
Qiao Ying's eyes narrowed slightly. She then yelled loudly, "Get back!"
The man suddenly rushed towards her with his legs.
Ye Si directly shot him in the head.
The moment the man fell to the ground, an explosion sounded. The luxurious, bright great hall was instantly covered in the man's blood and flesh beyond recognition.
