He had already started to admire Ye Qiu a little!

"You can sit in the front seat!"

Once in the car, Lan Ying immediately let Ye Qiu sit next to her. Ye Qiu had just saved them, and she was naturally grateful.

Little did she know, Ye Qiu shook his head like a rattle drum and laughed, "Zhang Fan already mistook me for your boyfriend, if I sit here again, others will misunderstand!"

"Ah..."

Lan Ying playfully scolded, her face didn't look too good; her chest heaved up and down continuously.

What is this guy thinking? At a time like this, he still has the mood to joke?

Clearly taking advantage of her...

Gritting her teeth, she really wanted to give Ye Qiu a good thrashing...

Marriott stood behind them both, unable to join the conversation. Hearing Ye Qiu's words, he almost wanted to laugh but held back.

His eyes wide open, full of admiration—this guy is amazing! Quite the silent charmer! If there's a chance, I must learn from him.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Lan Ying blushed, gave Ye Qiu a light punch, annoyed at him but not daring to use force, hoping to give him a small lesson.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu leaned forward, falling onto her body.

Soft!

Really soft!

It felt quite nice...

"Ah..."

Lan Ying let out a surprised cry, hurriedly pushed Ye Qiu away with her fair hands, her face flushed with embarrassment as she looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes full of awkwardness.

"Whoa!"

Marriott was astonished in his heart!

He was quite literally in awe of Ye Qiu; this is the highest realm indeed!

"You go sit in the back..."

Lan Ying gave Ye Qiu an exasperated look and scolded.

Ye Qiu nonchalantly got into the car, while Marriott stood there dumbfounded, his eyes full of admiration.

He initially wanted to sit in the back with Ye Qiu, but Lan Ying pointed at him: "You sit in the front!"

...

After settling Marriott in the hotel, Ye Qiu returned with Lan Ying to Bai Lan's villa.

Bai Lan might have been too tired from work recently; she had already fallen asleep in the bedroom.

After a day of turmoil, Lan Ying didn't have the energy for TV anymore, took a shower, and went to bed.

It was still early, so Ye Qiu went to an empty room and continued training.

Even with frequent training lately, he didn't feel any tangible improvement.

But he had to admit, vaguely, Ye Qiu already felt that the power he could unleash inside him had increased several times.

Time flies, especially while training!

Unknowingly, over three hours had passed.

Sweat covered his body, continuously dripping from his hair.

He relaxed a bit and took a shower in the bathroom.

Looking into the mirror, Ye Qiu slowly took off his jacket.

Firm muscles, tanned skin!

If it weren't for the terrifying scar on his chest, this would have been a perfectly shaped body.

Unfortunately...

Looking at that scar, ripples stirred in Ye Qiu's heart.

This scar was left by Tian!

Under the powerful ravages from Tian, this scar might follow him for a lifetime, even the strong healing ability inside him couldn't restore it completely...

"Sigh!"

Ye Qiu sighed.

This scar might be a warning!

Constantly warning him, reminding him! Not to forget deep-seated hatred, not to forget his ties with Blood Cross...

However, every time he saw this scar, Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of his brothers again!

Those brothers who swore to follow him to death have now become puppets of Blood Cross...

"Blood Cross..."

Ye Qiu clenched his fist, squeezing out the words through gritted teeth, his gaze icy!

He wished to rescue those brothers of his.

But now the leader of Blood Cross has emerged.

Facing Tian, Ye Qiu had no confidence at all.

Tian's strength was too formidable!

Unknowingly, Tian had cast a shadow over him, one he couldn't shake off.

What he could do now, besides intensifying his training, was to hope for some progress from the lab...

Early the next morning.

Feeling something unusual in the living room, Ye Qiu sat up reflexively.

Cat had arrived.

"Did you find anything?"

After waking up, Ye Qiu sat next to Cat, asking.

Cat nodded.

"I did find something!"

As he spoke, Cat took out a few photos from his backpack and handed them to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu flipped through them, immediately noticing something amiss.

The photos were taken from airport surveillance, dated around two days ago.

The first photo showed a few people, and Ye Qiu found them all familiar.

Leading the way was a person with Western features.

About 1.8 meters tall, full-bearded face, with blue-tinged eyes.

This person was Flaming, a high-ranking member of Blood Cross.

Behind him, almost all were high-ranking members of Blood Cross.

The second photo featured the person in black, who had injured Ye Qiu and later committed suicide.

These people appearing at Jiangnan Airport at the same time confirmed Ye Qiu's suspicions.

"Where did they go?"

Ye Qiu asked.

There were only two photos, indicating they came to Jiangnan, and it seemed they didn't just come for him, surely with other purposes too.

"After leaving the airport, they followed Baili Huang's men to the hotel where Baili Huang stayed!

Baili Huang had the whole floor of the hotel to himself, and no one else could enter."

Cat looked at Ye Qiu and answered.

"What else?"

Ye Qiu asked without thinking.

Since Cat knew the situation inside the hotel, it meant he must have investigated.

Therefore, there couldn't just be this bit of information!

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!"

Cat smiled, then continued.

"I bribed a hotel waiter, and he said that Baili Huang and the others seemed to be discussing cooperation with this Flaming!"

"Cooperation?"

Ye Qiu muttered.

This isn't some cooperation, it's outright collusion!

"Yes, not just their Baili family! In the hotel, there were traces of other family high-rankers too! It seems that this matter isn't simple!"

Cat sighed and said.

"Heh!"

Ye Qiu chuckled indifferently.

Without Cat saying it, Ye Qiu knew it wasn't simple!

The appearance of Blood Cross's high-levels in Jiangnan wasn't accidental, and neither were Baili Huang and the other family heads!

What could these people do together?

Obviously, these families hoped to rely on or count on Blood Cross as a backing to make big moves in Jiangnan!

"Trying to stir up trouble on my turf?" Ye Qiu's tone was icy.

Jiangnan is Huaxia's turf!

At the same time, it's the turf he guards!

He wouldn't allow anyone to make trouble here, especially when it's linked to Blood Cross!

Turning to Cat, he said, "I'll give you three days to make these people disappear from Jiangnan!"

"No problem!"

Regarding Ye Qiu's orders, Cat didn't dare to disobey a bit.

He nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry! Three days from now, I'll make them completely disappear..."
