He lost control after drinking and ended up marrying a powerful female CEO.

Under the cover of night, neon lights shone brightly.

In the bustling city, no one knows that a deadly plot is unfolding within an ordinary themed hotel.

boom!

A corpse smashed through the chain-locked glass door.

Smoke billowed out of the hall.

Several ghostly figures rushed out of the hotel and quickly disappeared into the night.

The last one to emerge was a tall, handsome young man.

It is the Qinhuai River.

He sighed helplessly.

I had intended to keep all of them, but they were indeed decisive.

If things are not going to work out, retreat immediately without hesitation.

They didn't even give Qin Huai a chance to showcase his acting skills.

What Qin Huai regretted even more was that he failed to capture a single survivor.

Sakura Society's intelligence capabilities were insufficient to accurately locate him in the vast and resource-rich Tianlong region.

Who exactly leaked his identity?

What is the purpose?

Who sent that email on Lu Qingxue's computer?

As the night breeze blew, Qin Huai suddenly felt a pang of unease.

Ding.

The phone chimed softly.

Qin Huai didn't pay attention and casually took it out to take a look.

Immediately, his whole body trembled violently, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"The target of the Netherfire is Lu Qingxue!"

The garbled text message was sent by Xu Xin, who had been out of contact for several days.

"Lu Qingxue!!!"

Qin Huai trembled all over, a chill sweeping through his body.

He had experienced this feeling before when he was on the verge of death.

After connecting all the information in my mind, I came to a conclusion.

This is a diversionary tactic by Netherfire!

Qin Huai had no time to think and started running wildly.

A taxi slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and the woman who had waved for it got into the passenger seat.

"Miss, please fasten your seatbelt..." the driver reminded with a smile.

Qin Huai suddenly rushed out, opened the driver's seat, grabbed the taxi driver by the collar, and pulled him out.

“What are you doing…”

The driver slumped to the ground, and before he could even speak in shock and anger, Qin Huai had already gotten into the driver's seat. He didn't even have time to fasten his seatbelt before he slammed on the gas pedal, and the taxi sped away.

"ah……"

The woman sitting in the passenger seat screamed in panic for a long time.

Soon, the taxi's taillights disappeared from sight.

The taxi driver, who had collapsed to the ground, was stunned for several seconds. With a mournful face, he took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hey, honey, I really don't think I can drive a taxi anymore..."

"Yeah, my car got robbed again, this is the third time! I was sitting up in the car when that bastard dragged me out, drove off..."

"Okay, I'll call the police right away... Honey, I really won't drive anymore. Anyway, we've raised enough for the kids' tuition. I'll come back and sell fried rice noodles with you, okay..."

……

Phoenix Lake Villa Area.

On the internal road built around Phoenix Lake, a figure strolled leisurely toward Villa No. 9.

The man was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, with an Asian face, a somewhat thin build, and a slightly pale complexion, looking like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

But those calm eyes seemed to contain mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

A chilling and intense killing intent naturally lingered around him.

He is an internationally legendary figure, one of the ace members of Zhige, Minghuo.

Behind Netherfire followed a slender figure.

Xu Xin followed respectfully, her brows furrowed with a hint of struggle and uncertainty.

The last time she came here, it was Qin Huai who asked her to protect Lu Qingxue.

I came here this time to help Minghuo kill Lu Qingxue.

Times change, things are unpredictable and hard to fathom.

Logically speaking, she should have been determined to carry out her mission.

Tipping off Qin Huai was already a violation of principles.

This was the only thing she could do.

As for whether Qin Huai can make it back, that depends on Qin Huai himself and also on Lu Qingxue's fate.

"who?"

As soon as the two approached, Lao Lin and his bodyguards immediately became alert.

When their gazes fell upon the Netherfire, goosebumps involuntarily rose on their skin.

Veterans are particularly sensitive to the smell of killing intent.

Although Lao Lin and his companions did not recognize the Netherfire, it did not prevent them from sensing its power and terror.

"Let's do it."

Hellfire spoke calmly, his tone utterly indifferent, without stopping his footing.

Xu Xin dashed forward instantly.

A sinister glint appeared in his eyes.

"Do it!"

Old Lin was shocked, but his reaction was quick. He took the lead in meeting Xu Xin and signaled the other bodyguards to surround and attack her.

As Xu Xin approached, she lightly touched the ground with her foot, and her figure suddenly disappeared from Lao Lin's sight.

Old Lin was slightly startled when he felt a pain in the back of his head, his vision went black, and he fell straight to the ground, losing consciousness completely.

At the same time, the other bodyguards let out painful groans.

They all collapsed to the ground, all unconscious!

Minghuo looked at Xu Xin, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"You relented."

Xu Xin's heart trembled slightly. She bowed respectfully and explained, "After all, this is within the territory of Tianlong."

Minghuo didn't say anything more. He stopped in front of the villa, looked up, and his gaze fell on the third-floor terrace.

There, a figure as tall as an iron tower flashed by.

In Lu Qingxue's room on the second floor of the villa.

Lu Qingxue held her phone, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Lu Zenian on the screen.

"Dad, I miss you."

"My dear daughter, I miss you too."

"Dad, I miss you..."

"My dear, I miss you too..."

By now, Lu Qingxue knows that Lu Zenian in the video is just a pre-edited AI program.

Limited by technology, lacking intelligence.

If Lu Qingxue makes a phone call only once in a while, she won't find out.

But if it's just the same few sentences over and over, it's easy to expose them.

Lu Qingxue now looked extremely haggard.

Anyone who sees her would feel pity and wish they could hold her in their arms and cherish her.

boom!

The door was suddenly forced open.

Killer Eyes lunged at Lu Qingxue.

"what are you doing?"

As Lu Qingxue screamed in alarm, Sha Tong grabbed her and hoisted her up in his arms.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Lu Qingxue struggled fiercely, punching and kicking, but to the burly Sha Tong, it was no different from tickling.

He carried Lu Qingxue to the balcony, stomped on the glass, and then jumped off.

The wind howled, and Lu Qingxue screamed incessantly.

"Sister-in-law, a very powerful enemy is coming. I'll take you to a safe place," Sha Tong said in a deep voice as he landed and ran.

"Let me go! I don't need your help!"

Lu Qingxue was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do.

call……

A night breeze blew, and Sha Tong suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ahead, a slender figure stood holding a dagger.

Killer Eyes sensed killing intent emanating from Xu Xin, and a fierce glint appeared in his unusually large eyes.

Xu Xin glanced at Lu Qingxue, who was being carried on Sha Tong's shoulder and struggling, a complex look flashing across her eyes.

If Lu Qingxue dies tonight, there will likely be no possibility of reconciliation between her and Qin Huai.

Former lovers who used to sleep together will now be mortal enemies.

But she had no choice.

Even if he doesn't lift a finger, with the Netherfire around, Lu Qingxue can't escape.

"drink!"

Just as Sha Tong was about to rush over, a cold shout rang out.

Blood-stained clothes rushed over, a dagger aimed straight at Xu Xin's neck.

Xu Xin remained expressionless and raised her hand to block.

With a clang, the two daggers clashed, sparks flying.

Xu Xin did not retreat an inch, while the blood-stained woman took several steps back, her body low and her face solemn.

"You are no match for me."

Xu Xin said coldly, "If I were you, I would take the rest of the people in the villa and run for their lives."
