Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Although it was said that Ning Xueting was misled by Mr. Wang, that's why she targeted Zhou Qiqi.

However, Zhou Qiyuan did not believe such an explanation.

Although his sister was a bit arrogant and prone to swearing, it was clear that she was straightforward and outspoken; she would target anyone who treated her badly. The fact that Zhou Qiqi was willing to provide sheet music after Zhou Lin apologized, despite their previous discord, proves that Zhou Qiqi isn't actually a stubborn person.

Her confrontation with Ning Xueting began even before she returned to the Zhou family.

If Ning Xueting's unfriendly attitude towards Zhou Qiqi was due to following Mr. Wang, how do you explain their previous relationship?

Zhou Qiyuan felt that Ning Xueting was lying.

With both Director Lu and Tang Lian present, it would be difficult for Zhou Qiyuan to question Ning Xueting at this time.

Moreover, the investigation into the cause of the accident should be the responsibility of other departments such as the law enforcement team. Their law enforcement team can only maintain daily public order and management, not make arrests and conduct searches.

Tang Lian comforted Ning Xueting in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Ning. We will arrange for people to protect your safety here."

Ning Xueting was about to say thank you.

Zhou Qiyuan walked over: "Do her parents know about this?"

Director Lu was unaware of this, so he followed Zhou Qiyuan and looked at Ning Xueting with an inquiring gaze.

Ning Xueting trembled and said timidly, "N-I don't know."

She gazed at the pristine white ceiling of the hospital room.

The fleeting feeling of relief that had just crossed my mind vanished.

She began to panic.

She's finished. Her core sea has been destroyed. Without the energy stimulation of the red-rank song score, it will probably be difficult for her to recover her energy.

Although Mr. Wang's betrayal of the Qin family was his own business, she originally relied on the Qin family for her development. If the Qin family abandons her, who is like a useless person, then she will be truly finished!

Thinking of this, Ning Xueting's face showed a mixture of crying and laughing, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She hates it so much.

I hate those killers.

Ning Xueting is now lying in a hospital bed, only able to move his upper body, as his lower body has been paralyzed since the core of the battle was destroyed.

To be able to walk normally, one would need to absorb at least ten mid-level beast beads within a year to slowly restore the body's mobility.

But without the supply of beast beads, she will have difficulty getting out of bed and walking in the future.

The thought of the beast pearl made Ning Xueting hate Zhou Qiqi again.

If she hadn't gotten into a fight with Zhou Qiqi, she would have had enough beast beads and song sheets, and she wouldn't have sent them to the black market for auction.

All of this, every single bad thing, is related to Zhou Qiqi.

Ning Xueting covered her face, watching Zhou Qiyuan's retreating figure as he left the ward, and even felt hatred towards him.

Zhou Qiyuan is now the young master of the Zhou family, who is at the height of his power. Even Director Lu does not dare to neglect him, so he took Zhou Qiyuan out on the way.

Tang Lian glanced at Ning Xueting, who looked like a cripple, and felt that things were almost done. Since there were people from all over the hospital, he went out to see what Zhou Qiyuan and Director Lu had to say.

The three of them closed the door and left.

A dark shadow, like a vine, appeared in the ward from an unexpected angle.

It lasted less than three seconds.

The shadowy vines moved and landed on Ning Xueting's neck, instantly transforming into a tangible force that wrapped around her neck.

"Cough, ahh..."

Ning Xueting was still grieving when she was suddenly attacked.

Hands, neck, and face were constantly being forcefully covered by darkness.

Help!

Help me!

Ning Xueting wanted to open her mouth wide to breathe.

But that strange power showed no mercy whatsoever, slowly robbing her of her life force.

This fear of knowing that death was imminent instantly enveloped Ning Xueting's mind.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of being on the verge of death that caused her to strain her chest, her lower body shaking, driven by a strong will to survive.

Unfortunately, its power is too weak.

The sound was so slight that it was barely audible to anyone outside in the hallway, and even inside the room, people would assume she had simply lifted the covers.

click!

Click! Click!

The intense pressure squeezed Ning Xueting until she was barely recognizable as a human.

She lacked nuclear energy and was powerless against this bizarre assassination attempt.

He died in less than five seconds.

The shadowy vines vanished instantly, and the room returned to silence. Only Ning Xueting, who had fallen back to her original position with her head tilted, stared at the ceiling with wide, panicked eyes.

"There have been a lot of troubles lately. The higher-ups have already begun to close in on the Galaxy Assassin Group. I guess this is a counterattack from the enemy... I just informed General Qin that the assassin group has been handed over to the military."

"Tonight, this matter will be entirely handled by the investigation team." Director Lu stood in the corridor and said to the two young captains, "Starting tomorrow, you two will help patrol the residential area near the black market factory. Report any unusual activity immediately."

"That's it for tonight. Arrange for people to take turns guarding Ning. The rest of you can go home and rest. Report to the bureau on time tomorrow morning before we set off again."

Zhou Qiyuan bowed and said, "Yes!"

Tang Lian followed up by saying, "Director Lu, should we go and help look for the items stolen from the auction? It seems the investigation team is short-handed right now."

Director Lu gave Tang Lian a deep look.

If even a small part of the stolen goods on the black market is recovered, it's considered acceptable.

As for certain valuable items, the usual practice is to either keep them internally or return them to their original owners, depending on how much importance they are placed on them.

Ning Xueting in the ward was an insignificant figure who could not be taken seriously. Although her stolen item was a sheet music, Bai Jie's sheet music was not very valuable. In some cases, people in such poor professions could choose to take some benefits.

However, this incident is not just a theft at an auction.

The black market has been blown up, and the higher-ups will inevitably question and investigate.

Director Lu said irritably, "No need. This matter will be handled entirely by the investigation team. The military will also send capable personnel to assist them in the case. You two are already exhausted. You should go home and rest."

Director Lu's answer disappointed Tang Lian.

"Director Lu, you've been working hard lately. Let me take you home." Zhou Qiyuan didn't want to stay any longer, so he told Director Lu to leave.

Director Lu wanted to cultivate a good relationship with young master Zhou Qiyuan, so he readily agreed with a smile: "Alright, it just so happens that our bureau hasn't received any new cars recently, and my car is in the repair shop. Let's go together... Xiao Tang, shall we go together?"

Tang Lian smiled, pointed to the ward, and waved: "Let me comfort the victims again. Director Lu, please be careful on your journey!"

As he turned to open the door, he cursed Zhou Qiyuan inwardly.

The current law enforcement agency is nothing more than a lackey of conglomerates.

The so-called maintenance of public order is nothing more than a career stepping stone arranged by those wealthy families for their disciples.

After all, when it comes to truly dangerous work, the investigation team's job is far more dangerous.

In today's chaotic world, the criminal investigation team not only handles cases but also deals with dangerous criminals. Tang Lian was previously a member of the criminal investigation team.

He was able to transfer to the law enforcement bureau entirely because he connected with conglomerates and powerful families, and accepted the olive branch they extended.

Even after entering the law enforcement bureau and becoming a glorious law enforcement officer, Tang Lian was nothing more than a lackey who had to be mindful of others' opinions.

Tang Lian disliked Zhou Qiyuan.

With the Zhou family as his backing, Zhou Qiyuan did not pursue further studies in the military, but instead came to work in the law enforcement bureau.

If Zhou Qiyuan hadn't suddenly come over, Tang Lian would have almost been squeezed out of the transfer list. Fortunately, his boss was supportive, which allowed him to secure his new position without any major problems.

"He just happened to be lucky enough to pick up a sister who inherited sheet music. This guy is really lucky."

Tang Lian pushed open the ward door, feeling indignant, and turned to see Ning Xueting staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

He pushed the door open forcefully and rushed inside.

"Boom!"

The door was pushed open, then hit the wall and bounced back.

The commotion was so loud that it alerted Director Lu and Zhou Qiyuan, who had not yet gone far.

"What happened?!" Director Lu was both shocked and furious. Sensing something was wrong, he ran back and saw Ning Xueting's dead body. He exclaimed, "Someone killed her?"

Zhou Qiyuan rushed back and looked at Tang Lian by the window.

Tang Lian's deep voice, his face gloomy, said, "There's no sign that the doors and windows were opened. It's an assassin with special abilities!"

Zhou Qiyuan returned to Ning Xueting's bedside, put on gloves, and together with Director Lu and the others who had been alerted, began to examine Ning Xueting's condition.

This examination is nothing serious.

They discovered that this person's method of killing was exactly the same as that of someone they had set up to kill some time ago!

They had previously collaborated with a certain department to take down a list of assassins who had worked with the Galaxy Assassin Group, but they never expected that one of them would survive!

This changes the nature of the matter.

Director Lu instructed everyone to take Ning Xueting's body away and submit a report to their superiors overnight, and then hold a meeting.

By the time Zhou Qiyuan finished his work, it was already dawn.

He returned to the villa, utterly exhausted.

Zhou Qiyuan didn't take a shower. He just threw himself onto the bed, closed his eyes, and wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Unfortunately, Uncle Wu's voice was just too loud.

Moreover, those words kept Zhou Qiyuan awake at night.

He was instantly awakened.

"Young Master! Young Master Qin is in Miss's room!"

(Uh, a friend looked at the uncut version and said it read like a public post. I'm so confused, since the action scenes were already quite subtle. A lot of words were cut, almost a thousand words, otherwise it wouldn't be able to be released.)
