Qin Miaomiao’s face was pale, her voice trembling:
"How is that possible? Xiao Chen would never accept it! They killed Ou Bei Yao and still expect Xiao Chen to obey them? Dream on."
Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said:
"In the Ouyang Family, for assassins who don’t obey, they use a particular method."
"They remove the brain cells controlling emotions and feelings, turning the person into a numb, emotionless tool. Even their memories may be tampered with, making them ultimately serve their purpose."
"They’re... going to cut open Xiao Chen’s brain? No... no, no! Husband, save him."
Lu Qing patted her shoulder, comforting her: "I’ve already sent people over. Don’t worry, I won’t let this happen. Stay home and wait for news."
However, two days passed with no news. Joanna invited her out for shopping and coffee. She went, but her spirit was clearly lacking.
"Meow Meow Meow, what’s wrong?"
Qin Miaomiao smiled at her and casually said a few words but didn’t explain.
She couldn’t shake off a sense of unease. Her eyelids kept twitching as if something terrible was bound to happen!
At this moment, Little Sixth suddenly approached, his face slightly pale, and spoke in a low voice:
"Young Madam, Liyuan has been bombed!"
"What did you say? What about Ninth Uncle? Is he okay?"
"Mr. Jiu is missing."
Strings in Qin Miaomiao’s mind immediately tightened. Her body swayed, and if not for Joanna holding her steady, she might have fallen.
"What about Ninth Uncle’s subordinates? Can we contact any of them?"
"There’s one called Old Third, severely injured. He’s already been taken to the hospital."
"Arrange for me to see him, immediately!"
Her entire demeanor changed; she was like a drawn blade, exuding a sharp and lethal aura!
Joanna’s expression shifted subtly, her tone calm:
"The Ouyang Family, do you know them?"
"I do. The most powerful family in the mercenary assassin world. Do you know where their base is?"
Joanna smiled faintly: "It’ll take some time to find out, but I think Young Master Lu might already know."
"Jo, even if he knows, he wouldn’t tell me. Ninth Master Su is my adoptive father. His matters are my matters. He’s missing, and I will find him!"
Joanna’s gaze gradually changed, and she said in a low voice:
"Mercenaries are ruthless by nature. If... and I stress, *if*..."
Qin Miaomiao’s expression turned icy cold: "Then I’ll stop at nothing, even if it means razing their base to the ground!"
"You truly are the woman I admire. Alright, I’ll help you."
Qin Miaomiao went to the hospital. Old Third, though gravely injured, could still speak and gave her a keycode.
He struggled to speak: "Something happened to Mr. Jiu. All the Hidden Guards in the Su Family Garden will emerge, but without a leader, Miss, with Ninth Master missing, everything now depends on you."
"Loyal to Ninth Uncle?"
"For Mr. Jiu, they’d give their lives without hesitation!"
Qin Miaomiao took a deep breath, her expression becoming increasingly cold and resolute:
"Good. Then prepare them to shed blood and sacrifice!" Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
The entire Liyuan was bombed. Ou Bei Yao was killed, Ou Beichen and Ouyang Yan were captured—this could only mean one thing!
The real war had just begun!
With the incident at Liyuan, Lu Qing ordered his men to investigate the matter and report to Qin Miaomiao as soon as possible, only to find her surprisingly calm, showing no signs of breaking down.
"Miaomiao, something happened to Mr. Jiu."
"I’ll get to the bottom of it."
"It was the mercenary corps. Ou Bei Yao and Ouyang Yan’s situation—Ninth Uncle got involved. Those people are starting their retaliation. But they’ve crossed the wrong person!"
