Chapter 250 The Wu Family

Qin Yi quickly walked over and found that the middle-aged man had no life force left; he was dead.

Qin Yi held the woman in white with a complex expression.

Later, Qin Yi thought for a moment and decided to take the woman in white back to the city.

Qin Yi was unaware of the identities of the woman and the middle-aged man, nor did he know the origin of the masked assailants. Now that the middle-aged man was dead, he worried that if he left the woman in white here, there might be further danger.

Since Qin Yi didn't know where the woman in white lived or how to contact her family, he had no choice but to take her back to the hotel where he and Han Xin were staying after returning to the city.

Han Xin, who was in the room, was stunned when she saw Qin Yi return carrying another woman!

It wasn't until Qin Yi explained the situation that she finally understood.

With Han Xin's help, Qin Yi treated the woman in white and laid her on the bed to rest.

Tens of miles from the city center of Taidao, on the Jiang River, there was a small island.

On the island, some houses and buildings were constructed.

This was the base camp of the Wu family, a martial arts family on Taidao.

At this moment, inside a villa in the center of the island, Wu Di, the patriarch of the Wu family, a man of imposing presence who exuded a powerful aura, smashed a teacup to the ground.

"Outrageous! Who dared to attack my Yao'er!"

"Go, immediately dispatch the entire clan. Do not return until Yao'er is found!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Wu Di's command, a member of the Wu family responded and hurried out of the villa to carry out the order.

Then, intense killing intent flashed in Wu Di's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "Someone dared to touch Yao'er? Investigate, find the mastermind for me. I will tear him to shreds!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Another member of the Wu family received the order and also ran out of the villa.

The Wu family was the foremost martial arts family on Taidao and, likewise, one of the only three martial arts powers on Taidao.

The woman in white was named Wu Yao, and she was indeed Wu Di's daughter, the young lady of the Wu family.

To facilitate Wu Yao's cultivation, Wu Di specifically selected a prime location in the suburbs of Taidao and used the Wu family's treasure, the 'Spirit Pearl,' as the core of a spiritual gathering formation, which he personally set up.

He even assigned a Grandmaster-level expert from the Wu family, Wu Jingshan, who was the middle-aged man, to protect Wu Yao.

However, just earlier, Wu Di received news that Wu Yao had been attacked, Wu Jingshan had been killed, and Wu Yao had gone missing!

Under these circumstances, Wu Di was filled with anger, anxiety, and fear.

He feared that Wu Yao might have suffered the same fate as Wu Jingshan...

Thinking thus, Wu Di stood in the hall, his body shaking violently, almost losing his balance and falling.

Fortunately, the butler, Wu Zhongshui, who was by his side, quickly supported him.

Wu Zhongshui comforted him, "Patriarch, please do not worry. We have already sent everyone out. I believe we will have news soon!"

"Furthermore, the attackers must know of Miss's identity, so I suspect they would not dare to truly harm her!"

Hearing this, Wu Di found it reasonable and his mood calmed down slightly.

...

In the hotel in Taidao city.

More than two hours had passed since Qin Yi brought Wu Yao back.

By this time, it was completely dark outside. Han Xin felt hungry and went out to buy food. Qin Yi remained alone in the room, guarding Wu Yao.

To Qin Yi's surprise, Wu Yao woke up not long after Han Xin left.

Lying on the bed, Wu Yao opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

"Where is this place???"

Qin Yi, who was playing on his phone nearby, walked over and said, "You're awake. This is the Brilliant Hotel in the city!"

Wu Yao then noticed Qin Yi, but her guard did not lessen at all. She asked, "How did I get here? Where is Uncle Wu?"

"You were attacked by several masked assailants. You were injured and fainted. I didn't know where your home was, so I brought you back here! That middle-aged uncle, he..."

Qin Yi paused before continuing with a complex tone, "He is dead!"

"What..."

Wu Yao suddenly stood up from the bed.

However, due to her injuries, as soon as she stood up, she was in so much pain that she sat back down abruptly.

At the same time, she noticed that although the veil on her face was still there, her white robe had been changed.

In an instant, she pointed at Qin Yi and said agitatedly, "You, what did you do to me?"

"Please don't misunderstand. I didn't change your clothes. My girlfriend did!" Qin Yi quickly explained. "You were injured, and your white robe was stained with blood, so it had to be changed!"

Hearing this, Wu Yao's agitation subsided slightly. She looked around the room, as if searching for something.

When she scanned the entire room and saw no one else besides Qin Yi, she couldn't help but become agitated again.

Qin Yi sensed her unspoken question and said, "My girlfriend went out to buy food. She'll be back soon. I'm not lying to you!"

Wu Yao was half-believing.

Then, she looked down at herself and carefully felt her body. Apart from the pain of her wounds, she found nothing else unusual. Relieved, she didn't say anything more to Qin Yi.

Afterward, ignoring Qin Yi's劝阻, she got out of bed, unwilling to stay any longer, and left the hotel, dragging her injured body.

Since the other party insisted on leaving, Qin Yi couldn't forcefully stop her and let her go.

When Han Xin returned and found Wu Yao gone, she said to Qin Yi in surprise, "She's still so badly injured and wants to leave. Qin Yi, you didn't do anything to her, did you?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Wu Yao left the hotel and picked up her mobile phone, calling Wu Di.

Wu Di was anxiously waiting for news at home. Suddenly receiving Wu Yao's call, he became extremely excited.

After Wu Yao told him her location, Wu Di personally led a group of people and rushed to the city at the fastest speed, finding Wu Yao.

"Yao'er!"

"Dad..."

When they met, Wu Yao hugged Wu Di, tears streaming uncontrollably, soaking her veil.

Wu Di's eyes also welled up.

However, seeing that Wu Yao was unharmed, the anxiety that had gripped him for several hours finally subsided.

Then, they parted. Wu Di asked Wu Yao what had happened, and Wu Yao recounted what she knew.

"Dad, that's what happened. When I woke up, I was already at the Brilliant Hotel..." Wu Yao continued, "That Qin Yi said he saved me and drove away those masked assailants!"

After listening, Wu Di's brow furrowed in thought.

After a while, he instructed several members of the Wu family to escort Wu Yao back to the Wu family, while he himself stayed behind temporarily.

Wu Di saw off Wu Yao and the others, then went directly to the Brilliant Hotel with Wu Zhongshui to find Qin Yi.

In the hotel, Qin Yi and Han Xin were getting into bed, preparing to rest, when there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Coming!"

Qin Yi sighed helplessly, got out of bed, and opened the door.

He was now accustomed to this and no longer felt angry!
