He reached out and rubbed his eyes vigorously, casting a wary glance at his colleagues standing guard with him. Goosebumps formed all over his body.
The cold breeze on this dark night was terrifying.
Just then, his shoulder was gently tapped. The bodyguard’s physical response was quicker than his brain as he swiftly turned his head. But before he could make out the person behind him, he was knocked unconscious to the ground.
The other bodyguards on duty with him were also knocked out one by one in the same way, seemingly unable to wake up for quite some time.
After the bodyguards fell, several tall men appeared behind them.
It was the Twelve Blood Generals!
Leading them, An Zhifeng cautiously surveyed the surroundings, and after confirming there was no danger, he swung his arm, signaling for the twelve men to quickly disperse and move swiftly toward the entrance of the Qin Family mansion.
Following them, a delicate and graceful figure walked slowly, her leisurely demeanor as if she were strolling in the moonlight.
An Yiqing’s lips curled into an indifferent smile, her icy eyes staring at the luxurious mansion ahead.
Today, she was going to visit the Qin Family to directly ask Qin Dingshan what he meant!
Inside the Qin Family mansion, Qin Han and Qin Dingshan were sitting in the dining room, with the servants around them looking on with horrified faces.
The reason was nothing other than Qin Dingshan acting out of his mind!
Qin Han didn’t know when An Yiqing would come, but just to be cautious, starting from today, Qin Dingshan had to act as if he’d lost his sanity, both inside and outside the home. Gossip spreads quickly; as soon as the servants of the Qin Family spoke of it, everyone in Xuandu City would know.
Bullying an old man who had lost his sanity was something that, in Qin Han’s opinion, An Yiqing wouldn’t risk doing under such public scrutiny.
At the moment, Qin Dingshan was sitting blankly at the dining table, the usual shrewdness gone from his eyes, which appeared dull and vacant. When Qin Han fed him a spoonful of food, he ate without protest, leaving one wondering whether he was truly foolish or pretending.
While the servants of the Qin Family were transfixed by the sight of the grandfather and grandson, suddenly, a loud bang echoed as the villa’s main door was violently kicked open.
Before everyone could react, more than a dozen black-clothed men with a menacing aura strode in from outside.
They had indeed come!
Qin Han’s gaze flashed, and he covertly signaled to Qin Dingshan before standing up and leaving the dining table.
"Who are you? Trespassing into someone’s home is against the law!" he said vigilantly, staring at An Zhifeng and the others, speaking out sternly.
No sooner had his words fallen than a detached and cool voice rang out from outside the door.
"Against the law? Trespassing is against the law, but is hiring someone to commit murder not against the law, Young Master Qin?"
The voice grew closer, and a graceful figure in white appeared at the villa’s entrance.
Seeing An Yiqing emerge, a fleeting shimmer passed through Qin Han’s dark eyes.
"Miss An, what do you mean by that? I, Qin Han, have always abided by the law, never engaging in illegal activities, least of all hiring someone to commit murder. Could there be some misunderstanding, Miss An?" Qin Han said in a deep voice.
Hearing Qin Han’s self-defense, An Yiqing smiled slightly, her meaning profound as she said, "That Young Master Qin always upholds the law, I am of course aware. However, regarding the other members of the Qin Family... ha... Young Master Qin, may I have a few words with Old Master Qin? Only by returning what he has done to the An Family these past few days can I show my sincerity."
Qin Han’s pupils narrowed, his heart skipped a beat, and the words came spilling out of him, "My grandfather has been unwell lately, he can’t see anyone!"
