Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Late at night, the streets of Qingmang Town were sparsely populated, many shops had already turned off their lights, but the Yue Lai Hotel was still brightly lit.
Jie Wendong sat in a chair, with his son Jie Huâs corpse laid out in front of him.
âWho did this!â Jie Wendongâs eyes were bloodshot, his face filled with a murderous aura.
âReporting to the old master, it was a person called Xue An!â The lobby manager hurriedly said.
âXue An?â Jie Wendong frowned, then turned his gaze to Xue Lanâs kneeling parents beside him.
âXue Guo, your Xue Familyâs courage is quite something!â Jie Wendong said coldly.
Before Xue Guo could speak, Xue Lanâs mother, Li Hongyan, burst into tears and relentlessly kowtowed with loud thumps.
âMaster Jie, please spare us, we truly do not know where Xue An has gone! Our daughter has also been kidnapped by this bastard, arresting us is completely useless!â
Jie Wendongâs face was full of murderous intent, âI simply refuse to believe that you all truly know nothing! Xue An is your nephew after all!â
At that moment, unable to bear it any longer and seeing Xue Guo staying silent, Li Hongyan pointed at Xue Guo and cursed loudly, âItâs all your fault, none of you with the surname Xue are any good. This Xue An caused such a disaster as soon as he returned and then just up and left, implicating us, and youâre still protecting him!â
Then Jie Wendong scoffed, âEnough with the act. Since you claim ignorance, fine, you will accompany my son in death first. I refuse to believe that Xue An can escape Qingmang Town!â
Jie Wendong truly intended to kill.
Jie Hu was his only son, and yet he was murdered, and by someone from the Xue Family whom he had always looked down upon.
Naturally, Jie Wendong could not accept this.
As the big shot of Qingmang Town, and even within a hundred miles radius, Jie Wendong had put the word out: whoever captured Xue An would be rewarded with a hundred thousand yuan!
Jie Wendong was certain that Xue An hadnât gone far.
Once he captured him, Jie Wendong planned to rip out his heart in front of his sonâs corpse, to avenge his sonâs death.
Thinking of this, a crazed murderous intent flashed in Jie Wendongâs eyes.
Just then, two people walked into the hotel from outside.
One was an elderly man, and the other, a young girl.
It was Song Yi and Xue Lan.
Their appearance changed the atmosphere in the lobby.
Xue Guo and Li Hongyan spotted their daughter at once.
Xue Guo cried out anxiously, âLanâer, run!â
But before his words had even finished, a henchman stepped forward and slapped Xue Guo twice, and someone blocked the hotel door.
Song Yi was initially surprised, but then he calmed down.
âMay I inquire who this esteemed gentleman is? Why are you obstructing our way? And why have you detained Miss Lanâs parents?â
Jie Wendong glanced at Song Yi and sneered, âMurder necessitates reparation, debts must be repaid. Since your people have killed my son, naturally, I must seek justice, everyone, tie them up!â
Several underlings stepped forward to make their move, at which point Song Yi couldnât help but become annoyed.
Considering himself a Feng Shui Master of some repute, he had never been treated like this, and he said sternly, âFriend, you had better think this through. Arresting people willy-nilly, you canât bear the consequences!â
At this, Jie Wendong sneered, âIn Qingmang Town, there isnât anything I canât bear!â
Although Song Yi was a cultivator, he specialized in Feng Shui Secret Techniques and was quite average in fighting skills. It didnât take long for him to be subdued to the ground.
Then, a few people sneered as they prepared to approach Xue Lan.
At this moment, Song Yi shouted, âIâm warning you, if you donât want to die, youâd best not touch this young lady.â
Of course, Xue An was delighted, for nothing could be more satisfying than avenging oneâs enemy with oneâs own hands.
To rid himself of this deep-seated grudge, he would need to draw his sword and personally slay his foe!
The Heart Demon he faced during the proof of sainthood required him to sever it with his blade, one cut at a time.
Jie Wendong, of course, didnât understand and thought Xue An was trying to ingratiate himself, so he sneered all the more.
âUseless, youâre as good as dead today!â
At this moment, Li Hongyan couldnât restrain herself and cursed at Xue An.
âYou troublemaker, dragging us into your mess. Iâve always said, youâre better off dead outside, never coming back at all! You XueâŚâ
Li Hongyan couldnât continue because Xue An had casually glanced at her.
Li Hongyan had never seen such a terrifying look in someoneâs eyes, as if even the soul was shackled, and naturally, she couldnât go on.
âYou Xue, you killed my son. Now I kill you, very fair, right!â Jie Wendong said.
Xue An nodded, âVery fair!â
âWell then, remember not to blame me for being too harsh when youâre down in hell!â With that, Jie Wendong pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Xue An, his face twisted into a grimace.
The appearance of the handgun made many peopleâs faces turn pale.
Only Xue Anâs lips curled into a mocking smile.
âDie!â Jie Wendong was about to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, the outside was as bright as daylight, illuminated by car headlights, and then a richly-dressed young woman strode in.
Upon seeing her, the previously domineering Jie Wendong suddenly froze.
âQinâŚ. Miss Qin?â
