"We really don’t know. We just knew the boss got a call, and that person gave us a million to kill someone."
Zhao Han and Qin Qin exchanged glances, and Qin Qin stood up knowing the two men were not lying.
"If you want me to spare you, you can, as long as you disclose the whereabouts of the others," Qin Qin said indifferently.
The two men were taken aback, their expressions showing difficulty, "I... we..."
Qin Qin’s gaze grew piercing as she looked sharply at the two men, "Hmm? Don’t want to talk?"
"We’ll talk, we’ll talk! We’ll say it!" For the sake of their lives, the two men hurriedly spoke out.
Subsequently, the two men made it crystal clear where the others were.
After gaining the information, Zhao Han stepped forward to Qin Qin, "Let me go."
Qin Qin carefully looked at Zhao Han and nodded, "Be careful, Brother Han."
Zhao Han hummed a response and left.
The two men who betrayed their accomplices looked hopefully at Qin Qin.
Qin Qin’s gaze was indifferent as she stared at the two men, "Take them away and make sure they’re well looked after!"
The men’s faces turned pale as they shouted in panic, "You said you would let us go."
Qin Qin’s lips curved into a slight smile, "Do you really think I would let you go?"
To hurt her loved ones and then wish she would let them go was wishful thinking!
The two men, pale-faced, begged for mercy but were still taken away.
Qin Qin stood in the center of the hall, her expression icy. Lately, there had been too much trouble—first, Jing’s targeted her Heavenly Medicine Group, and now Lu Xuezhen was in trouble? Could it be Jing’s again? She could not help but suspect.
Light footsteps approached Qin Qin, and Lu Xuezhen stopped beside her.
"How come you’re out?" Qin Qin slightly furrowed her brow, glancing at the bruises visible on Lu Xuezhen and feeling a twinge of heartache.
"Qin Qin, I’m fine, don’t worry. By the way, before I was chased today, I met a very beautiful woman." Lu Xuezhen said to Qin Qin, feeling that this matter might be related to that woman, though she did not know why she felt so.
"A very beautiful woman?" Qin Qin’s expression tensed, "What woman?"
"I don’t know her, but from her demeanor and dress, you can tell she’s not from an ordinary family. She heard somewhere that my medical skills were good and asked me to treat someone in her family. The strangest thing is, after I refused her, she inexplicably whispered in my ear, ’Junior sister, have you come too?’ I didn’t hear it very clearly, and I don’t know if I remembered it wrong? What junior sister?"
Hearing Lu Xuezhen say this, Qin Qin’s beautiful eyes turned cold, a chilling hostility and bloodlust surged through her body, making Lu Xuezhen startled. This was the first time she had seen Qin Qin’s expression and aura turn so cold and murderous at the mention of a name.
"Jing Zhimei!" Qin Qin’s lovely voice carried a slight tremble and hatred.
"Jing Zhimei?" Lu Xuezhen’s mind raced, and suddenly her eyes darkened. She remembered this name, Qin Qin had asked them to investigate Jing Pharmaceutical Group, especially this Jing Zhimei.
Why would Jing Pharmaceutical Group target the Heavenly Medicine Group? And send someone to kill her? Could it be because the Heavenly Medicine Group had been too prominent lately?
"Rest well, Sister Xuezhen. I will avenge you and make sure today’s wounds weren’t for nothing," Qin Qin held Lu Xuezhen’s hand, looking at her wounds with a hint of guilt—she felt all of this should have been borne by her, and yet it was Lu Xuezhen who ended up suffering in her stead.
Lu Xuezhen, sensing something off in Qin Qin’s tone, grabbed her hand, "Qin Qin, don’t be impulsive. I’m not seriously hurt. Jing Zhimei is from Jing Pharmaceutical Group. With our current capabilities, we are not yet strong enough to confront Jing’s. You can’t be rash."
She could feel Qin Qin’s hatred towards Jing Zhimei and was afraid that the usually calm and composed Qin Qin might act impulsively.
Qin Qin flashed a reassuring smile, "Don’t worry, I know. I won’t be impulsive. You understand me."
Indeed, she would not act on impulse. She would just add this to her account against Jing Zhimei, biding her time until the day comes when they, as senior and junior sisters, would confront each other, and then she would spare no kindness.
A few days ago, she had investigated Jing Zhimei, Jing Pharmaceutical Group, and Divine Doctor Sect.
She found that it seemed Jing Zhimei had arrived in this world even earlier than herself. She didn’t understand why, since she had died before Jing Zhimei, how could Jing Zhimei have arrived in this world first?
"Qin Qin, what’s wrong with you?" Lu Xuezhen noticed Qin Qin seemed lost in thought, waving a hand in front of her.
Qin Qin raised her smile to hide her emotions, "It’s nothing. I was just thinking about some things."
"Zhao Han and the others have returned."
Lu Xuezhen’s gaze shifted to the leading Zhao Han, whose eyes met hers. Lu Xuezhen subconsciously looked away.
