Chapter 180: 0178 Lin Qiao’er’s Request

Ye Qiu returned to the villa with the autographed clothing from Mu Wanqing and handed it to Shen Mengchen. At first, Shen Mengchen was overjoyed, but soon her attention shifted back to Ye Qiu, and she interrogated him about what Mu Wanqing had said.

Ye Qiu recounted the conversation truthfully, but Shen Mengchen didn’t believe him at all.

In the end, unable to clarify matters, Ye Qiu fled back to his own room like a runaway, too lazy to explain any further since no matter what he said, she seemed not to believe him.

After meeting with Ye Qiu, Mu Wanqing took a limousine and left ZS city that very night. She had come to find Ye Qiu because she knew his address, and she stubbornly wanted to see him during the last hour of her stay in ZS city.

She got her wish.

But she came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Even without many words, to Mu Wanqing, it was enough.

"Wan Qing, I think he’s not good enough for you," the male assistant expressed his opinion in the car.

He had just seen Ye Qiu and didn’t think there was anything special about him. If it was about looks, he felt that there were hundreds in the entertainment industry more handsome than Ye Qiu. As for wealth, judging by Ye Qiu’s attire, he didn’t seem like a billionaire at all.

How could he possibly be worthy of Mu Wanqing?

Mu Wanqing remained noncommittal and turned her gaze out the window, "I find him to be a very charming man."

Hearing this, the male assistant knew that Mu Wanqing had made up her mind and her feelings for Ye Qiu were not likely to change.

At today’s concert, Mu Wanqing had really been capricious, singing a love song as a confession, which caused many problems for the male assistant. He had to figure out how to handle the next day’s events, especially since Mu Wanqing had personally created a scandal for herself. It was no wonder the male assistant was so troubled that he had to massage his temples.

Mu Wanqing left by car.

And on the very night of Mu Wanqing’s concert, a samurai sword gleaming with cold light, mercilessly stabbed towards some members of the martial arts community.

Clothed in black on a dark and windy night, the assassin easily plunged the sword tip into the heart of a martial artist who had been practicing for years, killing him instantly, with the sword’s chill mingling with the moonlight.

With a single strike, the figure descended lightly and disappeared.

The black-clad figure did not stop, immediately heading towards the next target.

The sword gleamed coldly, blood dripping profusely.

With every thrust, a beautiful arc was drawn, retracting not just the blade but also the fresh blood of life.

One person died! Five people died! Fifteen people died!

In one night, a total of thirty-eight martial artists were killed.

The events had not yet dawned when they had already shocked the entire martial arts community.

The martial arts community took immediate notice of such a malicious attack on their members and reacted strongly.

Who was so bold as to attack so many martial artists at once, seemingly wanting to massacre everyone in the martial arts community?

"This is a provocation, treating us martial artists with contempt," someone exclaimed angrily.

"Yes, to slaughter so many of us practitioners in one night must have been premeditated; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been done so easily," someone else offered a rational analysis.

Eminent seniors with high reputations in the martial arts community spoke out, determined to bring the audacious perpetrator to justice.

The martial artists began to emerge, discussing how to deal with this crazed individual.

Of course, the first priority was to find him.

...

The next day, Ye Qiu discovered that he had indeed made the news, with a photo of him and Mu Wanqing at a villa occupying the front page headline.

The headline read "Who Is the Rumored Boyfriend of the New Generation’s Diva, Mu Wanqing?"

Ye Qiu looked at the newspaper. Fortunately, the image only showed a side profile of his face, making it difficult to discern his features.

As Shen Mengchen, Shangguan Hong, and Shangguan Mingyue gradually awoke, everyone gathered in the living room. Shen Mengchen casually snatched a morning paper and said, "You really are in the news, but the photo only shows a side profile; ordinary people will have a hard time recognizing you."

It seemed that Miss Shen was in a good mood today and no longer harped on what had happened yesterday.

"I have no desire for fame. The lack of a front view is just as I prefer," Ye Qiu said indifferently.

"Ye Qiu, this article details how you once saved Mu Wanqing. It’s very thorough—hey, even cabin crew members from that flight have confirmed the incident."

"You’ve truly become famous. The article even describes it as a story between Snow White and the Frog Prince."

"You’ve become Mu Wanqing’s rumored boyfriend."

After reading through the entire newspaper, Shen Mengchen threw out the main theme written in the article.

Ye Qiu knew that most of the content was exaggerated, and the only reason they mentioned him as Mu Wanqing’s boyfriend was to stir public curiosity. The truth was known only to the people involved.

Ring ring ring!

Ye Qiu’s phone, which rarely rang, went off, and eager to avoid continuing the discussion about Mu Wanqing with Shen Mengchen, he immediately answered the call.

He heard a woman’s voice on the other end say, "I’m Lin Qiao’er. Ye Qiu, you know martial arts, right?"

Ye Qiu hummed in response.

"Do you have time? I’d like to ask for your help with something," Lin Qiao’er’s voice echoed in his mind. It was rare for Ye Qiu to hear Lin Qiao’er sounding as she did today.

"I wonder what Officer Lin could possibly want with me?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Could you come over?" Lin Qiao’er invited earnestly. Although he didn’t know why this stubborn woman was so unexpectedly polite to him today, Ye Qiu agreed to her request.

If Lin Qiao’er was asking for his help, it was probably not a minor matter, otherwise it wouldn’t make this extremely proud woman to actually reach out for his help.

Ye Qiu said farewell to Shen Mengchen and the other two women and hurried to the police station.

Upon arriving at the police station, he sensed a grave atmosphere pervading the place.

When Lin Qiao’er saw Ye Qiu, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for coming."

"It would be better if Officer Lin just stated the matter," Ye Qiu replied.

"Then follow me," said Lin Qiao’er, leading the way and soon brought Ye Qiu to the morgue.

As Ye Qiu wondered what was going on, Lin Qiao’er lifted the white cloth covering a body.

Approaching for a closer look, Ye Qiu’s brows gradually furrowed after seeing the first, second, third, and fourth bodies.

"Did you notice anything?" Lin Qiao’er asked – it was rare for her to be as patient and polite with Ye Qiu as she was today.

"All these people died from these kinds of wounds, and the depth of each wound is the same; they were likely killed by the same person," Ye Qiu said calmly.

At that moment, Lin Qiao’er said, "They were all killed last night, one after another. Just as you said, they died from cardiac arrest after a sword pierced their hearts."

"Can you figure out who the murderer might be?" Lin Qiao’er asked.

Ye Qiu shook his head. Though there were not many who could perform such a technique, there were still quite a few who could – but, to be able to kill these people one after another in just one night was somewhat terrifying. Which figure from the martial arts community was this? Although Ye Qiu was not familiar with figures from the martial arts world, he was certainly interested in meeting the experts among them.
