A Rolls-Royce stopped smoothly at the entrance of the residential area. As the driver opened the door, Qin Hanchu elegantly stepped out.
"Sir, do you really not need me to escort you in?" the driver asked respectfully.
"I want to take a walk. You can go back," Qin Hanchu said, heading towards the gate of the residential area.
It was already ten o'clock at night, and there were very few pedestrians in the compound.
As he was walking, a beautiful woman in a tight dress emerged from a nearby unit entrance.
Ah!
Just as Qin Hanchu passed by, the woman suddenly stumbled and fell to the side.
With Qin Hanchu's skills, he could naturally have caught her.
But Qin Hanchu did not intervene.
Even as the woman fell to the ground, Qin Hanchu did not step forward to help her up.
"How can you be like this? You saw me fall and didn't help me?" the woman glared at Qin Hanchu, speaking unhappily.
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "Your acting is very good."
"What do you mean?" The woman seemed shocked, but a flicker of alarm flashed in her eyes.
"Climbing through the window into the second-floor corridor, then rushing out to fall, why bother with all that trouble?"
With his senses heightened, Qin Hanchu could hear any rustle within a hundred meters.
He had heard the woman's every move.
Upon hearing his words, the woman stopped pretending. She stood up with a cold expression and said, "Good hearing. As expected of a ninth-grade expert."
"Are you from the Blade Master organization?" Qin Hanchu asked calmly.
The woman's eyes widened further in surprise. She did not answer, only looking at Qin Hanchu coldly.
"You acted immediately after taking the bounty. Your Blade Master organization is quite efficient," Qin Hanchu commented.
"You're mistaken. I don't know about any Blade Master organization you're referring to," the woman said indifferently.
"Divine Archers, why aren't you making your move yet? If you don't, I'm leaving," Qin Hanchu said, glancing at the rooftop opposite.
On the rooftop, four divine archers had already aimed at Qin Hanchu.
As Qin Hanchu looked at them, the four arrows shot towards him from different angles.
These four arrows had sealed off all of Qin Hanchu's escape routes, making his situation appear extremely perilous.
At the critical moment, Qin Hanchu's figure suddenly moved.
He caught one of the arrows in his hand, while dodging the other three.
The three arrows embedded themselves deeply into the ground, their powerful force causing them to vibrate violently and emit a buzzing sound.
Qin Hanchu played with the arrow in his hand and smiled, "As expected of a professional assassination organization, your methods are quite meticulous!"
"Do you think that's all we have?" the woman said, looking at Qin Hanchu with a smug look of successful scheming.
"I said your methods were meticulous, referring to the potent poison on these arrows. You think I fell for your trap, don't you?" Qin Hanchu raised the arrow in his hand and smiled.
The woman's originally smug expression instantly vanished.
She looked at Qin Hanchu in astonishment, "Since you knew, why did you dare to catch the arrow?"
"Don't you know that I am the disciple of a divine physician?"
"If I couldn't handle this little bit of poison, I would have disgraced my master."
Saying this, Qin Hanchu casually tossed the arrow he was holding onto the ground.
"Why are you still standing there? Keep shooting!" the woman yelled angrily.
"Stop shouting. Your companions have already clocked out for the day."
"Considering how beautiful you are, I won't kill you."
"Go back and tell your superiors that if they want to kill me, they should send experts of ninth grade or above."
"Although your coordination is good, you pose no threat to me."
With that, Qin Hanchu turned and left.
Watching Qin Hanchu's retreating back, a sense of humiliation surged from the depths of her heart.
From beginning to end, Qin Hanchu had never paid her any mind.
This feeling of being ignored was truly infuriating.
But what could she do, even if she was angry?
If she were to fight Qin Hanchu openly, she wouldn't even last two moves.
Only through a surprise attack did she have a slight chance of injuring Qin Hanchu.
A moment later, Qin Hanchu returned home.
Just like the night before, Jin Hailu and the other two were still awake.
Although they knew Qin Hanchu was very strong, they couldn't help but worry.
Of course, their current concern was purely out of friendship.
Love was not something that could be cultivated overnight.
"Did the mature beauty tease you?" Xin Xin asked with a mischievous smile.
"I am a righteous person. Even if I were teased, I would remain unmoved," Qin Hanchu replied with a smile.
"Oh, men's mouths are indeed deceitful," Xin Xin huffed.
"Is it convenient to say what happened? If not, that's fine too," Jin Hailu asked curiously.
Qin Hanchu took a sip of water before replying, "The person in charge behind the scenes of Long Teng Group."
"Did you get into another fight?" Jin Hailu asked.
"This time it was just a tea session. No fighting," Qin Hanchu smiled and continued, "Oh, right, I've prepared a big gift for you."
"What big gift?" Jin Hailu asked, puzzled.
"You'll find out when the time comes. Let's keep some mystery," Qin Hanchu said.
"Hailu-jie has a mysterious big gift. What about my Xiao Ying?" Xin Xin asked.
"Uh..." Qin Hanchu scratched his head awkwardly. "Consider it a rain check. I'll make it up to you later."
"Don't listen to Xin Xin's nonsense. I won't be comparing myself," Lin Ying glared at Xin Xin and said.
...
Kong Family Old Residence.
Although it was late at night, the old residence was still brightly lit.
Seated in the main seat of the hall was an elder with a white beard, his expression solemn.
This elder was Kong Zhanlei's cousin, Kong Zhanyun!
With Kong Zhanlei and his son missing, Kong Zhanyun was temporarily acting as the family head to handle the matter.
On the seats on both sides, the high-ranking members of the Kong family were all present.
"What's the investigation's progress? Any news?" Kong Zhanyun asked with a stern face.
The middle-aged man leading the left side quickly stood up and respectfully replied, "The Pacification Army took Qin Hanchu away from the hot pot restaurant. Many people witnessed this."
"Have you checked the helicopter's flight path?" Kong Zhanyun asked.
"Someone hacked into our Kong family's security system and deleted the helicopter's location information," the middle-aged man said with a grim expression, lowering his head.
"Have you found the commander of the Pacification Army?"
"Just like Second Uncle, he has disappeared," the middle-aged man replied.
Kong Zhanyun slammed his hand on the table, causing the yellow pear wood table to shatter into pieces.
"Second Brother and the others must have reached the base. It's highly likely that someone from the Pacification Army helped Qin Hanchu kill them!" Kong Zhanyun roared in anger.
"The Pacification Army's Grand Enforcer visited the camp. Could it have been him!" a woman on the right side spoke up.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Kong family showed astonishment.
"What reason would the Grand Enforcer have to help him? Does this Qin Hanchu have a special relationship with the Grand Enforcer?" someone asked.
Kong Zhanyun's face darkened. He said, "They may not have a relationship."
"Then why?"
"By our mobilizing the Pacification Army, we touched the Grand Enforcer's taboo!" Kong Zhanyun stated.
At this, everyone fell silent.
This possibility was very high.
As the Grand Enforcer of the Pacification Army, how could he allow his subordinates to obey the orders of others?
"If that's the case, why did he want to destroy all traces?" someone voiced their doubts.
