Karina excitedly pointed the gun at Qiao Ying's face.
She twisted her pus-oozing, gangrenous face neurotically, looking somewhat mentally unstable.
Gritting her teeth threateningly at Qiao Ying, she said, "Don't think that just because you have Lin Cheng protecting you that I don't dare kill you. This is C Country, I am the C Country princess, my father is the king. Not only would no one know if I killed you now, even if Lin Cheng found out, he couldn't do anything to me!"
Under Karina's fiery gaze,
Qiao Ying said to her, "Truly ugly."
She ignored the dark gun barrel in front of her and turned to slowly walk towards the sofa to one side.
Qiao Ying's "truly ugly" successfully provoked Karina.
Her actions furthermore made Karina on the verge of losing her rationality.
"You stand still for me, I told you to stand there, don't move, do you hear me!" Karina went from scolding to shouting furiously. From young, no one had dared to defy her orders.
This had cultivated Karina's haughty personality that looked down on commoners, seeing them as inferior. She could not tolerate any defiance from those she saw as beneath her, and no one had ever dared to previously.
Qiao Ying was the first.
Seeing that Qiao Ying was completely unafraid of her threats and went about her own way, Karina, whose authority had been challenged, became even more agitated.
Holding the gun, she quickly chased after Qiao Ying, shouting angrily, having completely lost the poise and nobility of a princess.
"I told you to stand still!" She yelled hoarsely, pressing the gun against the back of Qiao Ying's head. If she didn't need Qiao Ying to heal her face, Karina would have definitely fired already.
Having reached the sofa, Qiao Ying suddenly turned around, her hand that was in her pocket simultaneously pulling out.
Karina only felt a flash before her eyes, and the gun in her hand was already in Qiao Ying's. Before anyone could see clearly or react, the sound of a bullet chambering rang out...
Lin Cheng found out that it was Karina's people who had taken Qiao Ying away, and knew that after the king had separated from him, he had gone straight back to the palace.
So who was it that had the meal with Qin Hanyue at the hotel?
Who had ordered the king's butler to take Qin Hanyue away under the king's name? What did they intend? Lin Cheng immediately called Qin Hanyue.
At the same time, he left the castle and rushed to the palace to get his person back from Karina.
"Peng peng peng peng peng—"
Five consecutive gunshots emptied the magazine clip, the bullets barely grazing past Karina's ears and shooting into the wall behind her. All five bullets hit the same bullet hole, her marksmanship had not deteriorated one bit. Qiao Ying was very satisfied.
Qiao Ying said, "I hate it the most when people point their guns at me."
It was as if Karina had been scared silly, frozen in place with eyes wide and not making a sound, not even screaming.
But the followers in the room drew their guns on Qiao Ying one after another.
Qiao Ying casually sat down on the sofa, idly playing with the gun in her hand, lazily saying, "I don't feel that after healing your face you'd let me go, and stop pursuing Lin Cheng."
"There's a saying in Hua Country, a dog can't stop eating shit."
Qiao Ying said she wasn't referring to Lin Cheng as the shit.
It was like Karina had come to her senses. Taking a deep breath, she stared at Qiao Ying, squeezing the words out from between clenched teeth, "You've finally admitted that you were the one who ruined my face!"
She was desperately suppressing the urge to hack Qiao Ying into ten thousand pieces on the spot.
Qiao Ying's tone was relaxed, as if she had played a little joke on her, directly admitting, "It was me."
In her territory, in front of so many of her followers, admitting it outright, Karina didn't know whether to praise her courage or call her stupid.
Karina said, "You're right, I won't let you off."
"Do you know how damned you are? Killing you thousands, tens of thousands of times still wouldn't relieve my hatred."
"You don't have a choice. Your only chance of living is to heal my face, leave Lin Cheng, then beg me for mercy, and perhaps I may spare your worthless life."
Qiao Ying laughed.
Karina said, "Do you even know what you're saying?"
But Qiao Ying said, "Do you know how many times I've let you off? If it wasn't that your time of death hasn't come yet... Hmph!"
Qiao Ying let out a cold laugh.
Relying on her greater numbers, Karina didn't take Qiao Ying's words seriously at all. "I'm in no mood to waste time with you."
"Since you refuse to obediently cooperate and want to suffer a bit, I'll fulfill your wish!"
A malicious glint flashed in Karina's eyes. "Come!"
Karina called people over. "I think that skinning your face, cutting out your tongue, chopping off your feet does not hinder you from healing my face."
When Qin Hanyue mentioned Qiao Ying, Kala had thought he was jealous and hated her, sending people to capture Qiao Ying. But after hearing Kala's two sentences of nonsense, Qin Hanyue questioned her on Qiao Ying's whereabouts. Kala instead had a blank look on her face.
Only then did Qin Hanyue realize they weren't talking about the same thing at all.
Right at this moment, Lin Cheng called. Seeing the caller ID on the phone, Qin Hanyue immediately headed for the door with phone in hand.
Having finally gotten him to come here with much difficulty, no matter what Kala was unwilling to easily let Qin Hanyue leave.
She charged forward to block Qin Hanyue without regard for her status.
The scent of aromatherapy in the private room grew stronger and stronger. With Kala rushing over, it stirred up a wave of fragrance, making Qin Hanyue frown and immediately take a step aside.
He glanced at the aromatherapy quietly diffusing a dim fragrance from the corner.
His body gradually felt somewhat hot and restless, a subtle, indescribable feeling faintly rising from his lower abdomen.
Then he looked again at the flushed-face Kala blocking his way.
Realizing what was going on, Qin Hanyue immediately felt a wave of revulsion. "Get lost!"
Kala was frightened by Qin Hanyue's gloomy expression but still refused to give up, even shamelessly saying outrageous words. "Mister Qin has already betrayed his girlfriend once, what's the difference with one more time? In terms of looks or status, how am I inferior to that Qiao Yin who already has a fiancé... Ah!"
Before Kala could finish speaking, the man's iron grip suddenly clutched her throat, instantly cutting off her words.
Qin Hanyue's face was so cold it seemed ice crystals would fall off. He looked coldly at the struggling-to-breathe Kala, this was the first time in his life he had sworn.
And a particularly vulgar one at that. "Despicable."
Such an extremely insulting word made Kala freeze up. The next moment, she was mercilessly flung to the ground by the man. His strides passed by her as he shoved the private room door open and strode out.
The butler at the door and Qin Yan were startled by an ominous-looking Qin Hanyue.
Qin Yan hurriedly caught up, "Third Young Master."
Qin Hanyue tossed his phone to Qin Yan. "Answer it." His footsteps hastened.
He himself took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hand, as if having touched something filthy earlier, making Qin Hanyue even more irritated internally.
Qin Yan conveyed Lin Cheng's words. "The one who took Miss Qiao away was Princess Karina's people. Duke Lin has already gone to the palace to get her back."
Qin Hanyue strode out of the hotel, throwing away the handkerchief into the trash can at the entrance. He bent down and got into the car.
Qin Yan had just sat in the driver's seat when he heard Qin Hanyue ask in a low voice, "How many minutes by car to the nearest hospital?"
Qin Yan immediately turned to look at Qin Hanyue, discovering something seemed off with him. He was chugging a bottle of mineral water.
Qin Yan quickly checked with the navigation system. "The nearest hospital takes around 45 minutes by car, under no traffic conditions."
Only then did he ask, "Third Young Master, what's wrong?"
While starting up the car.
"Done? It's my turn now—" Still caressing the gun muzzle with her fingertips, Qiao Ying looked at Karina. "I won't heal your face, and I won't let you off either. Begging me is useless too."
Qiao Ying's fearlessness in face of death made Karina feel it was laughable. After laughing, she said, "Do you even know what you're saying?"
But Qiao Ying said, "Do you know how many times I've let you go? If it wasn't that your time of death hasn't arrived yet... Hmph!"
Qiao Ying let out a cold humph.
Relying on her greater numbers, Karina didn't take Qiao Ying's words seriously at all. "I'm in no mood to waste time with you."
"Since you're unwilling to obediently cooperate and want to suffer a bit, I'll fulfill your wish!"
