Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Seeking Help Over a Thousand Miles

When Qin Yi returned home, he didn’t expect that Xia Yanbing was still awake, clearly waiting for him.

Outside, the storm was raging, and Qin Yi’s phone couldn’t be reached, making Xia Yanbing very worried.

Hearing the door, Xia Yanbing stood up. Seeing Qin Yi’s disheveled appearance, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Although his clothes had been dried through energy movement, they were wrinkled, his hair was as messy as straw, and there were a few leaves entangled in it.

Moreover, Qin Yi’s face looked somewhat pale.

Xia Yanbing hurriedly stepped forward, "Honey, what happened to you? How did you get yourself in such a mess?"

She had gone out just now and didn’t see Qin Yi’s car. How could he get drenched while driving?

Qin Yi stepped forward and gently hugged Xia Yanbing.

Xia Yanbing keenly sensed that Qin Yi’s mood was very off.

"Honey, are you okay?"

Qin Yi tightened his hold on Xia Yanbing and in a hoarse voice said, "I killed Qin Guanghong and his entire family!"

Xia Yanbing’s body stiffened; no wonder Qin Yi said he was going for a walk to help with digestion and was gone for several hours.

Xia Yanbing hugged Qin Yi’s waist tightly, "It’s okay, it’s okay!"

She could clearly feel that Qin Yi was now very conflicted and helpless.

However, the Qin Guanghong family really deserved to die; they had already lost their humanity and crossed the line.

"Honey, come back to the bedroom with me!"

Xia Yanbing released Qin Yi, took his hand, and walked towards the bedroom. She was worried about disturbing Qin Wan’er, thinking that Qin Yi certainly didn’t want Qin Wan’er to know about this.

"Honey, it’s okay, don’t be upset! That family got what they deserved; I don’t think anyone would say you did wrong."

Qin Yi’s voice was low, "Patricide, such an utterly immoral act, has no excuse."

With a heartache, Xia Yanbing cupped Qin Yi’s face, "Honey, you said it was patricide, meaning they’d have to be family, but they haven’t been your family for a long time."

"Blood ties, unbreakable, this is something that can never be denied."

Xia Yanbing knew Qin Yi couldn’t easily get past this matter, so she changed the subject, "Honey, I’ll run a bath for you, soak in the hot water, have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."

Xia Yanbing led Qin Yi into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water.

"Honey, get in quick, look how dirty you are, with grass seeds in your hair? If you don’t clean up, grass might grow on your head tomorrow."

Qin Yi’s expression gradually became strange, "Grass growing on my head, are you saying I’ll be a cuckold?"

Xia Yanbing was exasperated, she pinched Qin Yi’s arm hard, "Always talking nonsense..."

After coming out from the bath, Xia Yanbing held Qin Yi as he slept that night.

......

The next day, when Qin Yi got up, Xia Yanbing had already gone to work.

Looking at the clean clothes laid out on the bedside, Qin Yi’s lips curled up, life had to go on.

Getting dressed and ready to check the time on his phone, he found it wouldn’t turn on.

His phone was actually Qin Wan’er’s old phone, which was cheap to begin with. After a soak in the storm with him last night, it had completely shut down.

It seemed he needed to buy a new phone.

After eating the breakfast Xia Yanbing had prepared, he prepared to head out to buy a new phone.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Qin Yi paused; very few people visited their home. Who could it be? He put down his chopsticks and went over to open the door.

Outside, stood a tall young man.

Qin Yi had a vague impression of him; he had seen him at the Lan Family before.

"Mr. Qin!" The other person saw Qin Yi and bowed.

"Are you from the Lan Family?"

The other person nodded quickly, "Mr. Qin, I’ve come to find you about something very important, my young lady is in trouble; I beg you to save her."

Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed, "What happened to Lan Jiaojiao?"

"Last night, my young lady called back, saying your phone couldn’t be reached, instructing us to find you at all costs, that only you could save her; after that, the signal was cut off. We tried calling back, but the young lady’s phone couldn’t be reached either..."

Lan Jiaojiao must have tried to call him, but his phone malfunctioned in the rain last night. It seemed Lan Jiaojiao was in grave danger; otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t appeal for help from miles away.

Qin Yi said, "What else did Lan Jiaojiao say? Tell me everything."

"Just what I mentioned earlier; then the call cut off."

Qin Yi frowned. He only knew Lan Jiaojiao headed to the northwest Dragon Mountain Range because he casually asked at the time, but didn’t know the specific location.

Lan Jiaojiao was the only friend with whom he could talk and brag without restraint, and Qin Yi valued this friendship, so he had to save her.

No time to waste, Qin Yi used the landline to call Xia Yanbing and explained the situation to her.

Given it was a matter of life and death, Xia Yanbing naturally knew what was important.

"Honey, check on the computer for the location of the Dragon Mountain Range in the northwest."

Xia Yanbing quickly found it, "Honey, the Dragon Mountain Range is in Shuangtie City in the northwest, but there’s no airport there; you’ll need to transfer from Lin City. I’ve booked you a flight departing to the nearest city, Feishuang City, in three hours."

"Honey, I ask for nothing but your safe return!"

Qin Yi jokingly said in the most relaxed tone, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely return safely; otherwise, I’ll be afraid of grass growing on my head!"

"As long as you know, if you fear grass on your head, come back unscathed. Honey, I love you!"

Qin Yi smiled, ended the call, and headed out to the airport.

......

By three in the afternoon, Qin Yi landed at Feishuang City Airport.

"Driver, get to Shuangtie City as fast as you can, I’ll pay you double."

The taxi driver loved long-distance rides, especially at double the price. He readily agreed and sped away.

As they passed through the city, Qin Yi bought a new phone. Although his old phone was broken, the SIM card was still good, which he had brought with him.

Once the card was set up, he called Xia Yanbing to report his safe arrival.

"Driver, are you a local here?"

The driver chuckled, "No, I’m from Shuangtie City. But don’t be fooled by the proximity of these two cities; their development is worlds apart. Feishuang City is economically prosperous, with more people and higher earnings."

"By the way, you don’t sound like you’re from Shuangtie City?"

Qin Yi laughed, "I’m not from Shuangtie City; I have some business to attend there. Do you know the Dragon Mountain Range?"

"Of course, everyone in Shuangtie City knows it. It’s precisely because of these mountains that Shuangtie City can’t develop. Firstly, there are too many mountains, the terrain is too complex to build roads, and where roads can’t be built, transportation can’t develop..."

Taxi drivers are among the most talkative professionals, once they start, it’s like a machine gun that doesn’t stop.

Since the journey was long, Qin Yi didn’t interrupt him and waited until he finished complaining before asking with a smile, "Driver, can you tell me more about the Dragon Mountain Range?"

"What’s there to say? It’s just countless connected mountain ranges, with treacherous and complex terrain where people get lost and can’t come out. Plus, there are so many wild beasts that nobody dares go inside... When we were kids, we played near the mountains and even saw wolves. If we hadn’t run fast, I’d probably be driving for King Yan now."
