Chapter 120

At the top floor of the hospital,

Well-trained bodyguards guarded the top level tightly.

The Qin family gathered in the corridor outside the ICU ward.

Older Ming and several experts as well as the attending doctor were saying something to Qin's Mother, while the rest of the Qin family gathered around to listen.

After Older Ming said what he had to say, he couldn't help but think of Qiao Ying, the young girl who had quite deep insights into traditional Chinese medicine.

He wondered if the young girl had done any research on detoxification.

Older Ming then shook his head to himself. He was really grasping at straws. How could someone so young have such broad knowledge.

With just those two prescriptions, she had said so much, although her attainments were profound, in the end it was still armchair strategy.

He and so many experts were helpless, how could a girl in her teens possibly have a solution, even if she did have any ideas, would Qiao Ying dare to speak, and would he dare to believe and try them?

The atmosphere was at rock bottom, Qin's Mother had a grieved and gloomy look,

But at this moment Qin Hanyue called Qin Yan to leave with him.

Seeing Qin Hanyue suddenly wanting to leave, Qin's Mother wanted to call out to ask him, but Qin Hanyue's pace was too fast and he had already entered the elevator.

On the first floor of the villa, everything was calm,

Seeing that nothing had happened,

Qin Hanyue took people straight upstairs to the second floor,

As soon as the door opened, a bloody smell rushed up,

He didn't have time to look at anything else, his eyes stared at the girl opening the door, quickly scanning her up and down, his expression visibly tense.

Qin Hanyue: "You're not hurt, are you?"

Qiao Ying: "Why did you come in person?"

She had told him on the phone that the corpse was Dark Shadow's assassin.

If he was not convenient to help, it was okay, if he was willing to help, he could secretly send two people over, but he actually came in person.

Seeing that she was unharmed, Qin Hanyue relaxed.

"I was worried about you." he said as he walked in.

Behind him, Qin Yan and two guards followed him in.

As soon as they entered, everyone was shocked.

A perfectly good room was torn apart beyond recognition.

The TV, sofa, coffee table, cabinets, everything that could be smashed was smashed, even the curtains were torn off in chunks.

On the floor,

The man's death was extremely miserable.

His clothes were stripped off, his back was covered in scars from the fight, although the corpse was still warm, his limbs were strangely rigid, there was a strange wound on the back of his neck, and there was a code on his spine.

The man's throat was cut with a single knife strike.

The assailant was even afraid of the fresh blood splattering and dirtying the floor, so he put the man's clothes under his neck as a pad.

This method... didn't look like the first time...

The man was clearly subjected to inhuman torture before his death. Qin Yan secretly glanced at the unconcerned Qiao Ying, her warped mentality...

Qin Yan secretly swallowed, feeling uneasy.

Under everyone's gaze, Qiao Ying felt uncharacteristically embarrassed, touched her nose, and explained: "Uh... I tested his skills, so the room is a bit messy."

Otherwise, with this person's skills, Qiao Ying wouldn't have needed so much time to subdue him. The moment she dragged him in from the window, she could have taken his life with ease.

Qin Hanyue's eyes swept over the strange wounds on the man's back and neck, the code on his spine, and the conspicuously out-of-place glass bottle containing unknown liquid placed in an inconspicuous spot...

The corpse was quickly taken away by the two guards.

"I was going to handle it myself originally, but as you can see, there are people everywhere outside." Qiao Ying said innocently.

Even at this hour, the honking outside was still noisy.

Qin Hanyue and Qin Yan both thought of Qiao Ying's cryptic smile and "inconvenient" words when she moved into the villa at the same time.

The "inconvenient" she talked about, could it be that she meant disposal of corpses?

Qin Yan shuddered all over.

Qin Yan: "Miss Qiao, what was that man's identity?" No need to ask, the man must be Qiao Ying's enemy.

So she really had enemies, that's why she asked the young master to contact her by phone earlier, she really considered the young master's safety.

But Qin Hanyue dismissed him: "You go out and get two more people to come clean up."

Qin Yan: "...Yes."

After Qin Yan left,

Qin Hanyue asked Qiao Ying, "How did you provoke Dark Shadow's people?"

Qiao Ying corrected him: "I didn't provoke Dark Shadow's people, I provoked the entire Dark Shadow."

Qin Hanyue looked at her: "..."

For a moment he didn't even know where to start asking.

But Qiao Ying suddenly asked him out of the blue: "Have you been smoking?"

As soon as he opened the door, when he opened his mouth, Qiao Ying smelled the faint smell of smoke lingering in his mouth. They had known each other for quite a while, and she seemed to have never seen him smoke before, she thought he didn't, but it turned out he just smoked little.

She wanted to ask him: Why are you suddenly smoking in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

But Qin Hanyue didn't respond to her words. Instead, he asked her seriously: "What can I do to help you?"

Qin Hanyue's words made Qiao Ying look at him involuntarily.

The two looked into each other's eyes. Qin Hanyue's eyes were deep and scorching, not hiding anything. Qiao Ying's eyes were very indifferent, without much warmth.

She looked at Qin Hanyue, seemingly thinking of something, her eyes seemed to change at one point, but soon returned to normal.

"The vengeance between me and Dark Shadow won't stop until one side perishes. Tonight is just the beginning. Well, does Mr. Qin still want to help me?" Qiao Ying asked lightly.

He answered without hesitation: "Yes."

Qiao Ying fell silent again.

After a while, her eyes unnaturally moved away from his face: "I can avenge this grudge myself. Mr. Qin has already helped me a lot tonight."

Qin Hanyue: "But I can help you with more than just disposing of corpses."

Qiao Ying smiled: "Of course, the leader of God's Army, I have no doubts about Mr. Qin's abilities. I will ask Mr. Qin if I need anything."

But Qin Hanyue could clearly hear that she was just being polite.

Qin Hanyue wanted to plead his case further, and also to ask what her grudge with Dark Shadow was, but he didn't have the standing to delve into it.

So he could only say, "Move back to school to live, or to my Qin family."

The phrase "move to my Qin family" sounded exceptionally clear in Qiao Ying's ears.

"The sooner I avenge this grudge the better, hiding and dragging it out will only waste time. Mr. Qin doesn't need to worry about me, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

Seeing the worry in Qin Hanyue's eyes, Qiao Ying, for some psychological reason, said a couple more sentences: "When I deal with Dark Shadow, I have absolute advantage. They only know half the story about me, while I know everything about them." She added: "All of it."

No one knew Dark Shadow better than her.

Qin Hanyue: "That is a professional assassin organization."

How could he not worry? Dark Shadow's assassins were not something the mercenaries in M Continent's fighting pits who were strong in physique but weak in mind could compare to.

After guessing that Qiao's family had enemies, Qin Hanyue had conjectured many possibilities, but never imagined it would be Dark Shadow.

Qiao Ying was a little helpless. What could she say to make him believe she wasn't committing suicide?

She couldn't tell him that she herself was also an assassin, and that Dark Shadow was her old home in her previous life, the ones who raised her.

Qiao Ying: "I won't gamble with my own life."

Qin Hanyue: "Does Cheng Jinyan know?"

The underworld prince, he was so close with Qiao Ying, there was no way he didn't know. If he knew, it was impossible for him not to help.

Qiao Ying: "He knows, and he trusts me."

That one line that Cheng Jinyan trusted her left Qin Hanyue speechless.

It also let Qin Hanyue know that his understanding of her was far from enough.

Qiao Ying: "Is Mr. Qin reassured now?"

Qin Hanyue had no choice: "Contact me anytime if you need anything."

Qiao Ying smiled and nodded slightly.
