The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 220 - 217: Warning You, Stay Away from Her

Chapter 220: Chapter 217: Warning You, Stay Away from Her

Qi Ling stood at a distance, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, his babyface making him look like a high school student. His skin was very white and smooth, and when he smiled, two small canine teeth were visible.

But that smile never reached his eyes.

Looking closely, his amber eyes held a hint of sinisterness.

He stared at Qin Zhao at the entrance of the residential area and spoke into the intercom, "Bring her over."

The men approached Qin Zhao, the leader speaking coldly, "Miss Qin, right? Mr. Qi has some business with you. Please come with us."

Qin Zhao glanced at them indifferently, "What if I refuse?"

"Then don’t blame us for being rude!"

The men revealed a fierce expression, intending to forcibly take her away.

Before they could touch Qin Zhao, however, she skillfully brought them down to the ground, wailing in pain.

Qin Zhao calmly stood still and then called Huo Xun.

Her gaze shifted and she spotted Qi Ling in the distance.

Qi Ling’s face stiffened, completely taken aback by Qin Zhao’s capabilities.

He pretended not to know these people and turned to leave.

However, before he had walked a few steps, Qin Zhao, who should have been far away, suddenly appeared behind him. Her slender and pale fingers grabbed Qi Ling’s hat, followed by a shoulder throw.

"Hey, I’ve encountered some kidnappers. Send some people to take them away."

Huo Xun’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

Who would be so blind as to mess with Qin Zhao?

He quickly dispatched a few detectives, and then Qi Ling and the others were all taken to the police station. They initially tried to resist but were subsequently beaten up by Qin Zhao again.

After handling this matter, Qin Zhao returned home just as Chu Yan was almost home. He had just reached the front door when he received a call that Qi Ling had been taken into custody, asking him to figure out a way to get him bailed out.

Although Chu Yan and Qi Ling had had a falling out, they were still partners, as many of their affairs were interconnected. If anything happened to Qi Ling, it wouldn’t be good for him either.

After clarifying the reason, Chu Yan went to bail him out.

In their shared villa in the suburbs.

As soon as he entered, Chu Yan threw his car keys aside and angrily kicked over a chair nearby.

He yanked Qi Ling over, his eyes brooding and his brows and eyes filled with a cold wrath, "What did you want with her? Who told you to go to her?"

Rarely seeing him lose control, Qi Ling smiled for a moment.

"Just wanted to chat with her, is that not allowed?"

"I’m warning you, keep your distance from her! None of the things you are doing should she find out about!"

Qi Ling stared at him for a long time, gradually losing the smile on his face.

"Chu Yan, you’re afraid too, huh? But you and I are of the same kind. Why pretend to be a good person in front of her? I should be warning you! We can’t afford any weaknesses!

I didn’t even do anything to her today, and you’re already this agitated. What if something really happens to her in the future? Don’t forget how hard it was for us to get where we are today."

"If that day really comes, it won’t involve you."

Chu Yan scoffed coldly, "If you dare go to her again, don’t blame me for disregarding the years of comradeship. I didn’t participate in that, but you still went ahead. You should know, I can easily destroy all your efforts."

Chu Yan was referring to the manufacturing and selling of drugs for money.

Originally, Qi Ling wanted to do it with him, as his unmatched Talent in medicine could produce high-purity products at a low cost.

But Chu Yan refused to do so, though Qi Ling did not give up and found others to collaborate with.

Qi Ling frowned, surprised that Chu Yan had found out so quickly.

"Since you know I care about her, you should understand that my bottom line is her."

Chu Yan picked up the car keys from the ground, resuming his refined and cultured demeanor, and looked coldly at Qi Ling, "I think, you wouldn’t want to become enemies with me."

Hearing this, Qi Ling’s face contorted horribly. That affair had not started long ago, and Chu Yan already knew about it. So how much did Chu Yan really know?

Qi Ling understood well the capabilities of Chu Yan, that madman. If he truly angered Chu Yan, there was no telling what he could do.

Chu Yan no longer paid attention to Qi Ling and walked out of the dim basement.

Upon reaching the villa’s living room and preparing to leave, he found that the doors and windows were locked.

"Have you been living here these past few days?"

Qi Ling came over and Chu Yan could not help but ask.

"Yes."

"Did you lock the door just now?"

"No, you were pulling me inside just now, when would I have had the chance to lock the door?"

No sooner had he spoken than several red dots flashed outside the nearby window.

Qi Ling’s expression changed drastically, "There’s an ambush outside!"

Those red dots were definitely snipers!

Chu Yan’s expression turned slightly cold, "You’ve exposed our location."

"How do you know it wasn’t you?"

"Because I’m not as stupid as you are!"

Chu Yan scoffed coldly and hurried back to the basement.

He hadn’t been to this villa in the past few days; he had been by Qin Zhao’s side. How could he possibly have exposed himself?

If they charged out now, they would definitely be riddled with bullets by those lying in wait outside.

Fortunately, every time they chose a place to stay, they would dig a secret escape tunnel.

And the secret tunnel in this villa was inside the basement.

The two returned to the basement, each grabbed a weapon, and then left through the secret tunnel.

Yet, not long after they entered the tunnel, there was a loud boom!

The ground began to shake wildly, and stones kept falling from above the tunnel.

Seeing that they hadn’t appeared, the attackers directly activated the explosive devices, intending to destroy their villa!

"Move quickly!"

They quickened their pace as the tunnel behind them continuously collapsed.

"Once we get out, we’ll split up. I’ve handled the aftermath of the previous incidents; it’s unlikely those people will find us. If you still want to live, don’t contact those you were working with on the pharmacy venture anytime soon."

Using drugs to accumulate a fortune naturally meant dealing with desperate outlaws.

Qi Ling’s eyes darkened, but he didn’t speak.

Chu Yan didn’t need to remind him. He had guessed it might have been those people.

After the tunnel had led them some distance from the villa, there were no more collapses.

Upon emerging from the exit, they parted ways.

The villa itself was located in the suburbs, so the tunnel exit was deep in the secluded woods.

If enemies were pursuing them, this kind of place made it easier to escape.

But during Chu Yan’s process of leaving the deep mountains, he encountered some trouble.

His spiritual power was somewhat different from before; he could now see those supernatural entities. And at night in the mountains, these beings were particularly active.

Not far away, several pairs of ghostly green eyes stared intently at him.

That place was a chaotic burial ground, where yin energy dominated and hundreds of ghosts roamed.

"This person has a strong aura of evil; we dare not approach him," one ghost whimpered.

"What are you afraid of? If we consume such a formidable person, our cultivation will greatly increase!"

"Why is he standing there motionless? Can he see us?"

"Never mind, it’s not often we get a meal. Let’s all go at once! This bit of evil aura is nothing!"
