Chapter 379

Miss Qiao looked beautiful tonight. Duke Lin and Miss Qiao made a nice couple. What does Mr. Qin think?

Kala looked at Qiao Ying and Lin Cheng not far away.

Kala was elaborately dressed up. The royal and noble women's court dresses were quite bold and avant-garde. She caught the eyes of many guests tonight, comparable only to the brightly beautiful Qiao Ying, except her dress outshined others'.

However, Qin Hanyue didn't even glance at her from the beginning to the end, even when she stood in front of him. While Kala was looking at him the whole time, and realized he was looking at Lin Cheng and Qiao Ying's side.

"What do you want to say?" Qin Hanyue asked coldly.

He didn't need to address them respectfully. And the pesky Kala also made Qin Hanyue lose the most basic courtesy.

He didn't even address Kala.

Especially when he also heard the threatening meaning in Kala's words.

Kala said, "Mr. Qin, don't get angry. I was just surprised by this coincidence."

Seeing that Qin Hanyue had no reaction and didn't want to pay attention to her, Kala then said, "Maybe I overthought."

"Maybe there are hundreds of thousands of girls called Qiao Ying and Qiao Yin in Hua Country. And there are also many girls named Kara in C Country." Kala spoke gently with a gentle smile on her face.

"But it has to be said that Mr. Qin and Duke Lin are good friends. The girlfriends you found have such similar names."

Qiao Ying casually glanced towards the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw Qin Hanyue and Kala standing opposite each other, talking about something unknown.

Qiao Ying narrowed her eyes unconsciously, and then unconsciously took a sip of red wine, the icy liquid slid through the oral cavity, stimulating Qiao Ying to regain her sense, leaving a sweet wine fragrance in her mouth.

Qiao Ying's eyes were as cool as the champagne in the glass.

"Miss Qiao? Miss Qiao, are you listening to me?"

Qiao Ying's gaze was brought back by Ryan's words.

She casually asked, "Is Mr. Ryan's father coming back later? Let me know if I should say hello to him."

Ryan said, "Sure, I'd love that."

After fruitlessly searching for a while, Liu Ying and Yue Ying shook their heads helplessly at Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying handed the wine glass to Lin Cheng, "Going to the restroom."

Lin Cheng asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Qiao Ying declined, "No need."

Karina's eyes closely followed the leaving Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying didn't actually go to the restroom after leaving the hall. Instead, she took a detour to the king's bedroom.

Most of the servants and attendants were in the hall to serve the guests, so the maze-like palace was quiet.

A glimpse of red figure passed through the magnificent corridors, Qiao Ying walked for a long time without encountering anyone.

Qiao Ying, who had remembered all the routes and rooms of the palace, roamed freely in the palace relying on her memory.

She moved very fast without being affected by her high heels, and quickly searched all five floors up and down.

Surprisingly none were found. Could he have left?

No, according to Ryan, he only left temporarily.

Unconsciously, Qiao Ying went out from the back door of the palace. The cold wind mixed with rain and snow blew the leaves rustling.

Qiao Ying, who was wearing thin clothes, immediately got goose bumps all over her body.

It’s too cold. Qiao Ying turned to go back, but discovered there was slight movement to her left, seeming someone's shadow shook by.

Qiao Ying stepped forward to follow up and find out what was going on.

Behind the palace there was a large garden and several staggered buildings. There should have been soldiers patrolling here, but they were not sure if they were all transferred to the front hall or deliberately withdrawn.

The garden was pitch black, as if there were wild beasts lurking, ready to move. Qiao Ying walked lightly but not slowly at all. She kept walking to the left.

Finally she arrived at the corner and keenly sensed something. In the next moment, a beam of cold light chopped down towards her.

Qiao Ying withdrew back and easily dodged it.

Five or six unidentified men jumped out from the darkness and surrounded Qiao Ying.

Without saying a word, they wielded their weapons and slashed at Qiao Ying. Their purpose was clear that they only wanted Qiao Ying's life.

It had been a long time since Qiao Ying fought and killed anyone. She was a little itchy handed. Unfortunately these trashes were not even enough to loosen her joints. And they didn't even know how they died.

Qiao Ying stepped on the last man's throat with her heels, "Did that fool Karina send you?"

Facing the threat of death, the man admitted.

With so many people coming to the banquet, choosing this time to take action against her was also a good opportunity. After all, there were too many people who did not support Lin Cheng marrying her. The King's supporters would love to see her have an accident. Maybe they were secretly plotting how to take action against her.

Qiao Ying asked, "Do you want to live?"

The man didn't dare let out a breath. Despite the cold weather, he kept sweating profusely and looked at Qiao Ying like looking at a ghost, terrified. His back was sore from the floor, but he didn't dare move a bit.

Qiao Ying commanded: "Move these corpses to Karina's room."

The man stared wide-eyed in horror, wanting to shake his head.

Qiao Ying expressionlessly put a little force with her heel stepping on his throat. The suffocating feeling came, forcing the man to agree.

The tall figure of the man left the banquet and walked quickly in the palace, also seeming to be looking for something.

He told her not to act alone and to bring him along, but she turned around and disappeared without warning.

Qin Hanyue quickened his pace. He thought, she must have discovered something. Could she have found Jack of Spades?

There was sudden movement behind. Qin Hanyue immediately hid behind the wall, just about to see what was going on, the lights in this area suddenly went out, instantly plunging into darkness.

Qin Hanyue couldn’t adapt to the darkness for a while. The environment made the atmosphere tense. Qin Hanyue restrained his breath. A momentum suddenly approached him. The opponent accurately found him.

Fierce fists wind blew towards him. Qin Hanyue reacted quickly and nimbly avoided the opponent's attack while counterattacking. The two fought in the dark.

Every move of the opponent was a killer move, making Qin Hanyue instantly think of the shadowy guys he had dealt with several times. And the person he was fighting against had profound skills.

Qin Hanyue's chest was hit hard by the opponent's punch. He took the opportunity to clamp the opponent's arm and asked sternly, "Who is it?"

For some reason, the opponent who was eager to take his life suddenly withdrew his hand after hearing his voice. Then he quickly slipped away.

Qin Hanyue chased after the man's footsteps without thinking twice.

But the opponent was superior to him in strength and more adapted to the darkness than him. Qin Hanyue didn't chase far before losing track of him completely.

Qin Hanyue could only leave this pitch-black place first.

Before finding the light source, another momentum appeared.

Qin Hanyue stopped cautiously and stood still warily. First he heard the soft sound of high heels stepping on the ground, then smelled the faint bloody smell on the person and the moist aura of rainwater, just as he determined the person's position, the person grabbed his tie accurately and kissed him unmistakably.

A familiar breath.

While Qin Hanyue breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately hugged the person.

The door next to them was pushed open. They kissed passionately as they entered the unoccupied room from outside the door. Qin Hanyue was led by her from outside the door into the room, to the front of the sofa. Then Qin Hanyue was pushed onto the sofa by her, knocking him sober for a moment.

Before he could react, her soft body pressed down on him the next moment.
