TDDDMFM Chapter 16: Killing Someone
"I'm at Red Heart Hospital in the city."
"Okay, I'll be there."
The woman's voice was icy and unquestionable.
Click, the call ended.
"Damn it!"
Qin Yumen impatiently threw his phone onto the bed, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.
"You rural bastard! If I don't skin you alive and tear you apart, I'm not surnamed Qin!"
Time passed, minute by minute. Half an hour later...
A series of urgent footsteps echoed outside the ward. The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall woman in a black and white suit stepped in.
Behind her were a group of sharp and capable professional managers.
The woman in her twenties had a shiny black shoulder-length hair and wore an expensive professional suit. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes were sharp and clear.
She wore no expression on her face.
A veritable Ice Queen!
"What happened? How did it come to this point?" The woman asked sternly, her gaze falling on Qin Yumen, who was sitting on the bed smoking.
"Not much, just got beaten up!" Qin Yumen replied irritably.
The woman was none other than Qin Yumen's older sister, Qin Xiner.
Qin Xiner was not an ordinary woman.
She was highly capable, managing the Qin family's business alongside their father. Under her management, the vast Qin family thrived, and their business flourished.
She commanded respect throughout Fragrant City.
"Are you talking to me?" Qin Xiner's eyes flashed with a cold chill.
"..."
Intimidated by the powerful aura emanating from Qin Xiner, Qin Yumen instantly wilted.
Qin Yumen, a playboy who never did any serious work, was most afraid of his sister besides his father within the Qin family.
"Hmph!" Qin Xiner snorted coldly, approaching the bed and looking at her incompetent brother. "As the second young master of the Qin family, you always hang out with riffraff and neglect your duties. Today, you ended up in the hospital after getting beaten up, bringing shame to the Qin family. With your behavior, how can I trust you to manage the family business in the future?"
"I'm not messing around. They are all my friends. Once I inherit the family business, they will all be part of my network." Qin Yumen grumbled, trying to defend himself.
"A group of rich second-generation wastrels who only know how to indulge in extravagance. You think you can expand your network through them, Qin Yumen, don't you find it ridiculous?" Qin Xiner scoffed, her arms crossed.
"I..."
Qin Yumen was rendered speechless by his sister's scolding.
"What's wrong with your neck?" Qin Xiner, looking down from her high position, noticed the clear finger marks on her brother's neck.
Clearly, he had been choked!
As soon as Qin Xiner asked about it, Qin Yumen gritted his teeth, "I ran into bad luck today. I encountered a rural hick who caused all these injuries. Sister, no matter what, you must avenge me. I want that bastard dead!"
Qin Yumen dared not mention that he was forced to kneel and call someone 'dad'.
If Qin Xiner found out that her own brother kneeled and called someone 'dad', she would break his third leg.
Qin Xiner's eyes reddened. Despite her usually strict demeanor toward her brother, she was actually quite fond of him. After all, he was her only sibling. Clenching her teeth, she spoke in a cold voice, "Tell me, who is this bastard?"
"I only know his last name seems to be Zhou, but I forgot his full name. He's a rural bumpkin, skilled in martial arts. He single-handedly took down all of my bodyguards. Damn it!" Qin Yumen said fiercely.
Qin Xiner was taken aback.
The bodyguards by Qin Yumen's side were personally selected by her, all of them specialized professionals with excellent physical fitness. Under normal circumstances, one person dealing with seven or eight big men wouldn't be a problem. Yet, her brother claimed he was taken down by one person?
"Where is this person now?" Qin Xiner asked.
"I don't know. I met him at the restaurant in the Shangri-La Hotel. I suspect he's still there. Sister, arrange dozens of thugs for me later. I guarantee we'll kill him!" Qin Yumen said.
"You focus on recovering. Leave the revenge to me."
Qin Xiner said, "A neck injury is no small matter. If not properly treated, it could lead to cervical spine problems. You should stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate. Leave the revenge to me... You can rest assured, in Fragrant City, no one can provoke our Qin family and get away with it!"
Qin Xiner's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and she exuded an invisible aura of dominance, becoming a towering Ice Queen.
After chatting with Qin Yumen for a while, Qin Xiner said she had business to attend to and left Qin Yumen alone in the hospital.
Outside the hospital, Qin Yumen took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call connected, and Qin Xiner's cold voice came through, "Zhao Shuo, put aside whatever you're doing and hurry back to Fragrant City. There's something important that needs your personal attention..."
"Kill someone!"
In the end, Zhou Xiaobei only ate a bowl of knife-cut noodles before leaving the restaurant, without booking the whole place.
It was just too damn expensive!
A meal costing five hundred thousand, a million gone in a blink of an eye, that's practically like giving away his life!
But speaking of wealthy people, they really know how to live it up. The things they eat are almost as expensive as gold. Eating such expensive food, aren't they afraid of karma catching up to them!
The evils of capitalism!
Back in his room, Zhou Xiaobei continued to focus on his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, it was seven in the evening, and Zhou Xiaobei finally stopped. However, instead of joy, his face showed worry.
He looked up at the ceiling.
This is bad, really bad!
He had encountered a tricky problem.
Originally, he thought that everywhere in the world would be like Fuxi Village, with beautiful spirit stones and abundant spiritual energy. However, reality proved him wrong.
The spiritual energy in Fragrant City was not even one-tenth of that in Fuxi Village.
The spiritual energy was scattered and thin, completely insufficient for cultivation!
When he was in Fuxi Village, the spiritual energy in the mountain village was several times richer than in the city. Moreover, his masters even specially built a Feng Shui array to gather spiritual energy for him, making cultivation much more efficient.
However, in Fragrant City...
The spiritual energy was thin, like peeing in the wind, and there was no gathering array... Damn it, relying on this little spiritual energy for cultivation, forget about breaking through to the Profound Passage Realm, his cultivation might even regress.
"No, this little spiritual energy is barely enough to nourish the Qi. I must find a way to enhance the spiritual energy here. Yes, I can establish a small gathering array here!"
As long as he activated the gathering array, the spiritual energy would instantly increase fivefold. Although it was less than ideal, it would be enough to sustain daily cultivation.
Zhou Xiaobei was a doer, so he immediately took out his phone and called Yan Shikai.
He needed some magical tools to serve as the array eyes. However, being unfamiliar with Fragrant City, even if there were magical tools, he wouldn't be able to find them. He could only hope that Yan Shikai could help him figure something out.
The Yan family was a local powerhouse, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a few magical tools.
