Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Qin Qing Encounters Assassination

”No...” Zhou Wenlong wailed. ”I’ll do it! I’ll do it...”

”Too late!”

With two sharp CRACKS, Ye Xiu’s kicks shattered both of Zhou Wenlong’s arms.

”Ah...” This time, the pain was so intense that Zhou Wenlong passed out completely.

”You lot, get over here and finish what Zhou Wenlong couldn’t,” Ye Xiu coldly commanded the dozen or so underlings.

”Yes, yes, yes!” One of the underlings scrambled over and carefully put Ye Xiu’s shoes back on him. Then, they all knelt and kowtowed before Jin Peng, wishing him a long life.

”Take Zhou Wenlong and get out!” Ye Xiu snapped.

”Yes, yes, yes!” The dozen underlings hastily lifted the unconscious Zhou Wenlong and fled.

Seeing this, the banquet hall fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared at Ye Xiu, their scalps tingling.

This man isn’t a world-saving Divine Doctor; he’s a complete butcher!

”Mr. Jin, my apologies for being late,” Ye Xiu said apologetically.

”Ahem, not at all, not at all! Divine Doctor Ye, your presence is the greatest honor you could bestow upon me. Please, sit. Quickly, take a seat,” Jin Peng said, snapping out of his daze. He hurriedly invited Ye Xiu to sit beside him.

Ye Xiu glanced around surreptitiously. Seeing that Xia Xue, Xia Zhiwei, and Xia Dehe were not there, he finally sat down, relieved.

Meanwhile, Jin Ming instructed the waitstaff to serve the food. Soon, everyone had forgotten about Zhou Wenlong. After the dishes were served, guests came one by one to toast Jin Peng and Ye Xiu, and the birthday banquet grew incredibly lively.

”Ye Xiu, you attacked Zhou Wenlong. Won’t he retaliate against the Jin Family later?” Jin Lian couldn’t help but whisper when the drinking was well underway.

”I won’t give them the chance to retaliate against the Jin Family,” Ye Xiu said reassuringly, patting her thigh under the table.

Jin Lian was left speechless.

...

「Jin Ye City」

Qin Qing had worked late tonight and was now on her way home.

”Madam, you shouldn’t work this late again. The Young Master will be angry if he finds out,” Chloe said from the driver’s seat.

”I have to segment and evaluate the entire medical field in the shortest time possible. Only then will Ye Xiu have a clear picture when it’s time to divide the cake,” Qin Qing replied, leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed, her face etched with exhaustion.

The Young Master didn’t marry a wife; he married a workhorse, Chloe muttered to herself.

”What was that?” Qin Qing asked, not having heard her clearly.

”I said the Young Master married a wonderful and capable helpmate,” Chloe said, feeling a pang of guilt.

”You’re just stating the obvious,” Qin Qing replied, looking pleased.

Chloe was speechless.

Just as the car entered Tu Mountain Manor, the pupils of both Qin Qing and Chloe suddenly contracted.

”Killing intent!” they exclaimed in unison.

Chloe shot a surprised glance at Qin Qing. She could sense the killing intent because she was powerful and possessed the special Purple Pupil. For Qin Qing to be able to sense it as well was a huge surprise.

It seems the Cultivation Technique the Young Master passed on to Qin Qing is truly special!

”Stay calm and drive normally,” Qin Qing whispered as her right hand reached under the seat, retrieving the Bronze Sword and gripping it tightly.

”Don’t be nervous, Madam,” Chloe said reassuringly. ”This car is custom-built. Even a tank shell would only flip it over; our lives aren’t in danger.”

Qin Qing remained silent, her mind racing. Tu Mountain Manor is filled with Ye Xiu’s hidden guards. How did assassins manage to sneak in? And who sent them?

Chloe maintained a normal speed, as if unaware they had been targeted. The car soon approached a bridge. Crossing it would lead to the small island where Ye Xiu’s family lived.

Just as the car reached the center of the bridge, a dozen men in black, masked and brandishing long knives, suddenly burst from the water below. They leaped to a height that surpassed the bridge itself.

Qin Qing clicked her tongue in amazement. An ordinary person couldn’t jump high from within the water, let alone clear the surface. Yet these masked men had not only leaped out but had also soared significantly higher.

That defies all logic!

Just then, Qin Qing saw the masked men reach the apex of their jump. Each of them unleashed a volley of gleaming Hidden Weapons, which clattered against the car’s four tires and four windows.

They’re trying to destroy the tires to stop the car while simultaneously killing the occupants with projectiles. Since they don’t know our exact positions, they’re targeting all four windows.

Clearly, this was a meticulously planned assassination. However, their plan had one fatal flaw: the tires were solid rubber, and all the windows were bulletproof. The assassins’ barrage of Hidden Weapons was completely useless.

The masked men were stunned for a moment, shocked that they couldn’t breach the car’s defenses. They watched as Qin Qing’s car accelerated toward the small island.

One of them barked an order in a foreign language. The meaning was clear: ”Full assault!”

Instantly, the dozen or so masked men landed on the bridge, caught up to the car in a flash, and surrounded it, waiting for Qin Qing to emerge.

But just then, nineteen graceful figures appeared, instantly turning the tables and surrounding the assassins.

The car window rolled down, and Qin Qing’s cold voice rang out, ”Leave one alive!”

”As you command!” The nineteen beautiful maids launched their attack at once.

The masked men were contemptuous. ”Leave none alive!” one of them shouted, and they charged into battle.

The moment they clashed, the masked men were dumbfounded.

How are they so strong?

In an instant, fourteen of the fifteen masked men were dead. The sole survivor was severely wounded and immobilized with Acupoint Sealing. One of the maids then proceeded to pull out all of his teeth as a precaution against poison capsules.

Only then did Qin Qing step out of the car. ”Who sent you?” she asked coldly.

”Hmph!” The masked man snorted haughtily, refusing to answer.

”Tsk, tsk. Looks like we’ve got a tough one who isn’t afraid to die,” Qin Qing said with a cold smile before giving an order. ”Chloe, go get some salt and chili powder. We’re going to slice him up, piece by piece. Make a cut, rub in some salt. Make another cut, rub in some chili powder. Start from his feet, and make sure he doesn’t die before the thousandth cut.”

”Yes, Madam!” Chloe replied, making a show of turning to fetch the supplies.

”Wait!” the masked man screamed, his scalp numb with terror. He wasn’t afraid of death, but the torture Qin Qing described was beyond horrifying.

This is even crueler than the legendary Lingchi Execution of ancient Xuanse! The man couldn’t begin to imagine the living hell of being sliced a thousand times.

”Name,” Qin Qing demanded.

”Mitsui Hisashi!” the man replied.

A person from Sang Jing? Qin Qing paused for a moment. The name sounded like the words for someone from Sang Jing. ”Who sent you to kill me?”

”Ba Dao!” Mitsui Hisashi answered honestly.

Oh?

Qin Qing and Chloe exchanged a look. It seemed Ye Xiu’s plan to have people spread insults about Ba Dao all over Sang Jing had truly drawn him out.

”And why did Ba Dao send you to kill me?” Qin Qing asked, feigning ignorance.

”For the past two days, word of Ye Xiu’s insults against Ba Dao has been spreading all over Sang Jing. Ba Dao was furious and sent us to kill you to teach Ye Xiu a lesson,” Mitsui Hisashi explained.
