"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Su Mingyue noticed that Qin Yexuan was not right.
This was the first time in many years she had seen her brother-in-law's face so pale, as if he were ill.
"I'm fine," Qin Yexuan waved his hand.
"Don't lie to me. Although my medical skills might not be as good as yours, I'm also a doctor!"
She helped Qin Yexuan to the sofa in the hall, forced him to lie down, and then took out an emergency medical device from her bag.
The small device could check cardiopulmonary function, blood pressure, and other vital signs.
Su Mingyue skillfully examined Qin Yexuan. When the data from the instrument appeared, she was stunned.
"My god, three thousand heartbeats per minute? Is, is the machine broken?" Su Mingyue exclaimed, patting the medical device in shock.
Three thousand heartbeats per minute was far beyond normal human limits.
And the blood pressure readings...
Su Mingyue's face suddenly turned pale as well: "Brother-in-law, my tester must be malfunctioning. You need to go to the hospital immediately."
Qin Yexuan forced a smile: "Mingyue, I'll listen to you. Don't worry."
He seemed to be cooperating.
Su Mingyue raised her hand to test his temperature. The moment her fingers touched Qin Yexuan's forehead, she felt a sharp pain, like being pricked by needles.
Qin Yexuan's clothes were actually starting to smoke?
Su Mingyue's fingers were directly burned.
"Brother-in-law..." She was utterly terrified.
Qin Yexuan's eyes flashed: "Mingyue! Look at my eyes!"
What?
In her panic, Su Mingyue instinctively looked.
Qin Yexuan's eyes were so clear, like a deep lake.
Everything she saw disappeared, the lights vanished, leaving only the endless void in those dark eyes.
Su Mingyue's eyes also became hazy.
Was it so difficult to use the Imperial Heart Technique? Qin Yexuan coughed violently and fumbled for his phone.
Bang!
The phone exploded in his palm, sparks flying, causing chaos in the hotel lobby.
The excessive body temperature had detonated the phone battery.
Qin Yexuan frowned and sat down on the floor.
His body temperature and heart rate began to slowly stabilize.
At the hotel, several men in black had appeared at some point and were quickly clearing the area.
Gradually, silence fell.
Secretary Yang walked in from outside the door, limping with each step. Blood was flowing terrifyingly from the cuff of his sleeve, like a burst water pipe.
"Send, send her away. All of them, including the other sisters, send them to the safe house!"
Members of the Night Demon behind Secretary Yang quickly came forward and escorted Su Mingyue away safely.
Qin Yexuan finally let out a breath: "Xiao Yang, how many Night Demon members sacrificed?"
"Reporting, reporting sir, numbers one to sixteen, all, all sacrificed!"
Secretary Yang was in tears, sobbing as he knelt before him.
Qin Yexuan placed a hand on his shoulder, circulated his energy, and a silver needle appeared. He pressed it down in quick succession.
Secretary Yang's external wounds stopped bleeding instantly, and his spirit revived.
"Don't cry, Xiao Yang. You are seventeen. From now on, you are the big brother to your younger brothers and sisters."
"Under, understood." Secretary Yang wiped away his tears.
The members of the Night Demon were all criminals, but they had gathered together and been moved by Qin Yexuan. They had long shared life and death, and their bond was like that of siblings.
"Who attacked you?"
"We don't know their origin. The most powerful was a woman wrapped in a cloak. She killed numbers one and two in a single move!" Secretary Yang gritted his teeth. "We made a mistake. We underestimated the enemy's strength and didn't rendezvous in time, so we were separated by Long Dujun and the others. The Long family attacked us in groups of a hundred..."
"Even more regrettable, sir, is that Su Bingyan was poisoned by that woman in black!"
Qin Yexuan looked up at the chandeliers and shook his head: "It was the Demonic Cult... This is not your fault. When the Demonic Cult makes a move, no one can oppose them except me. It was my mistake."
As he said this, Qin Yexuan had already stood up.
Guilt, regret, worry, all negative emotions lasted only a very short time. By now, he had entered combat mode.
All negative emotions were suppressed. What he needed was an absolutely clear mind.
"Xiao Yang, clear this hotel completely. Evacuate everyone!"
Secretary Yang wanted to say something, but looking at his expression, he knew it was a death order.
"Yes! Your subordinate will do it immediately!"
"Wait!" Qin Yexuan gasped for breath. "I might need to take Bingyan away for a while, not for too long. So there are a few orders you must convey."
These orders were for all his subordinates and disciples.
Whether it was Li Tianxing and the others, the businesses on Jiangcheng Island, or other hidden organizations.
"First, during my absence, everyone will follow Jun Mengyao's instructions. I authorize her to be fully responsible for everything!"
Secretary Yang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Qin Yexuan actually regarded Jun Mengyao as his successor?
During his absence, he had handed over all power to Jun Mengyao, whom he had only recently met?
Qin Yexuan looked at him: "Did you hear clearly? These are my orders!"
"Yes!" Secretary Yang replied loudly.
"Second, the Night Demon organization will still be led by Ye Fangjin. Tell him that Chu Du must be stabilized for me. No rash actions. During my absence, only defense is allowed, no offense!"
"Third, the Su family sisters must be absolutely protected. Let Ling Su go over. Only she can persuade the Su sisters."
The hotel had already been cleared. Secretary Yang carried out the important orders and left rapidly.
Qin Yexuan raised his hand, and a volley of silver needles shot out, shattering the crystal chandelier formation above.
He forced himself up and climbed the stairs step by step.
To find Su Bingyan.
At this moment, a terrifying power was stirring within Qin Yexuan's body.
"Hmph! You can't come out!" Qin Yexuan forcefully suppressed it in his mind.
The terrifying power responded in his mind: "Kid, if you let me out, I can destroy this planet with ease. Why are you holding me back?"
"Not necessary now. I can handle it myself!"
Qin Yexuan opened his eyes, his steps becoming even more difficult.
Finally, he pushed open Su Bingyan's room door.
Bingyan had already woken up, but there was an abnormal flush on her face, her clothes were half-undone, and her breathing was heavy.
Beside her was a little girl of four or five, holding a lollipop and looking very scared.
Su Bingyan was constantly comforting the little girl.
Seeing Qin Yexuan enter, she was overjoyed, but her body was too weak to stand.
Qin Yexuan waved his hand slightly: "Lie down and don't move." As he spoke, his gaze locked onto the little girl.
Su Bingyan hurriedly explained: "This is the granddaughter of the cleaner, Aunt Liu. She came to see her grandma. Something seemed to have happened at the hotel just now, and Aunt Liu disappeared too."
The little girl looked well-behaved, biting on her lollipop, and timidly said, "Hello, Uncle."
Qin Yexuan smiled and slowly approached.
The little girl instinctively shrunk into Su Bingyan's arms.
"Don't be scared, it's someone I know," Su Bingyan said, patting her back with tenderness.
The little girl's hand, however, "mysteriously" pressed onto her neck...
