To be clear, the handgun that He Muqing had was originally borrowed from Qin, whose bullets carried twice the power of a standard handgun—yet they only left a few white spots on the front windshield of the off-road vehicle. Though her reloading action paused slightly, she quickly changed the magazine and continued firing at the rear window, where the bullets again only left white spots. "Goodness, you want to run? Forget it!" She turned and rushed toward where she had parked her vehicle, and by the time the engine started, the off-road vehicle was already gone. In the warehouse, nearly twenty bodies lay scattered throughout—had it not been for Qin Feng, each of them would have been independent powerhouses. Through the radio, he asked, "He Leader, has the vehicle that escaped been secured?" "It's gone." "The leader replied, 'That vehicle was bulletproof—my sister fired over forty shots at it, but the other side came out completely unscathed!' 'What?' Qin, the young man, exclaimed, sounding furious. 'How could you let him get away? When the hand guns didn't work, you switched to longer-range rifles; when the rifles failed, you upgraded to rocket launchers...' 'My good sir,' the leader sighed, 'besides my one hand gun, I don't have any other weapons. Do you think I'm like you, capable of packing things into a magic pouch? Is my sister really a commoner?' Qin Feng muttered, 'If I had known this would happen, I'd have taken you to bed!' 'What did you just say?' 'Nothing—just kidding!' A short while later, Shu, the police officer, brought in a rather shy-looking man, saying, 'He was stationed outside as a hidden sentinel and I caught him. He's now confessed—he's from the Shengmen family, and his assigned task was to assist a man named Qin Yu. Xiao Feng, if I'm not mistaken, your younger brother is also named Qin Yu, isn't he "Qin Dashi's face darkened: "It's that boy—by no means is he my brother. He's the wild child of Cheng Mei and Sun Kui. My poor old dad didn't even know about it until he passed away!" Hou Bao bowed his head and said: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted, causing such a big hassle for everyone." Qin Dashi waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault at all. After all, you've raised him since he was young—it's perfectly natural to hesitate. As long as everyone knows who's been behind the scenes, we just need to be more careful going forward. I'll make sure to track him down and eliminate him soon, to put an end to any future threats!" ... Liu Su, mid-lecture, received Qin Yu's message: Operation failed, heavy losses. A gentle smile began to spread across her lips, forming a beautiful curve. She murmured to herself: "Well deserved. This is the best punishment for someone so arrogant. You're not just the mistress of the Master, are you? I'm sure the Master won't hold you accountable. But the responsibility for this failure still rests squarely on your shoulders The second message arrived immediately, sent by one of the Master's subordinates: Qin Yu's mission has failed with heavy losses, though his courage is commendable. We kindly request Master Liu to provide assistance and help secure an early completion of the task. Failure is failure—what's more, commendable courage? When Master Lei and Ge Zihao had failed in their missions before, why weren't they ever praised for their courage, but instead faced penalties? The Master's favor toward Qin Yu has reached an astonishing level. Master Liu naturally felt aggrieved. By rank, she was the true leader of the Tianli Sect in this region, while Qin Yu held only the position of a junior assistant. Now, she was being asked to support a junior assistant. Yet upon reflection, she thought it a sound strategy—having Qin Yu as a ready-made, cost-free asset, why not use him? If the mission succeeds, she'll surely share in the credit; if it fails, she won't even have to bear the brunt of the blame. "Very well, I'll carry out the instruction. By Qin Feng's nature, he won't let Qin Yu go without a fight. This will be a perfect opportunity to watch the two engage Liu Su murmured with deep intention, her smile brightening further. For a long time, she had harbored a belief: enemies should be resolved rather than allowed to remain adversaries. Though Qin Feng was a lone figure and not a match for the vast Tian Li Sect, it had consistently been the Sect that suffered setbacks. If that were the case, why not transform rivals into allies? Even if friendship could not be forged, at the very least, the animosity should not be deepened—be it for her own family or for the Tian Li Sect. It would bring only disadvantages, with no benefits. Of course, she had never shared this thought with anyone. Yet, she firmly believed it to be the only viable course of action, and thus felt it necessary to seek out that person and find out their stance. With her decision made, she quietly slipped out of the classroom when the teacher at the podium was not paying attention, and drove to the Qin Family Headquarters. She parked her car not far from the building and dialed a number: "Is this the Qin Group reception office? I'd like to speak with Mr. Luo Man, your HR manager, please. Could you transfer my call to him?" "Please wait a moment while I check if Mr. Luo is in the office—she went out earlier," the receptionist said. Half a minute later, a pleasant female voice came through the speaker: "Hello, this is Luo Man. How can I assist you?" "Ms. Luo, you must have heard of me—I'm Liu Su. Would you mind if we sat down together for a while?" Liu Su replied in a similarly pleasant tone. Luo Man was momentarily taken aback: "You're Liu Su, yes—I've heard your name, but we've never met. Sitting with a complete stranger would make me feel rather uncomfortable, so perhaps we should just leave it at that." Concerned that she might hang up, Liu Su quickly added: "Luo, let's meet in person!" "You're indeed from that side—then very well. The café on the ground floor, we'll meet in ten minutes," Luo Man said as she hung up, thinking to herself that this young woman must surely come from a distinguished background. People who could name the Shura were never numerous to begin with, and after she betrayed the Shengmen, the upper-level officials felt their prestige severely damaged, thus implementing a strict information blockade. Romana thought deeply for a long time but still couldn't grasp the purpose behind the move. If they wanted to win her over, they could simply have said so; if they aimed to clean house, they could have sent someone directly—there was no need to complicate matters so much. To clarify the situation, she decided to go alone to the appointment. She knew that Isabella monitored Liu Su around the clock, and as soon as any issue arose, the senior officer wouldn't hesitate to intervene. Ten minutes later, she stepped closer to the café. Liu Su, sitting in a corner, immediately greeted her and smiled, saying, "I didn't know what kind of coffee you preferred, so I didn't order it for you. The server will come over—let's place the order!" Anyone unfamiliar with their relationship would surely assume these two beautiful women were either not close friends or perhaps even lifelong best friends. Romance found it hard to accept the other's enthusiasm. She ordered a cup of plain coffee, stirred it gently with a small spoon, and asked, "Liu Su, what exactly brings you to call me out here? Since we both know each other's backgrounds, there's no point in hiding anything anymore. Let's just get straight to the point."
