Back to Chapter List
?Mobile reading On the second day, Qin, feeling refreshed, left XXX Private High School. Last night, they once again staged a scene of one dragon, two phoenixes—Huang XiaoZhi and Fang Fei gave their in-laws everything they had, making him thoroughly satisfied. Had it not been for his persistent requests, the two girls simply wouldn’t have woken up in the morning. Holding hands, they walked inside. Huang, the younger sister, asked, “Fei, what exactly happened yesterday? You called in your husband to see him—wasn’t that all a carefully orchestrated scene of your own design, deliberately creating an opportunity for yourself?” Fang, the younger sister, scoffed, “How could that be? Is Fei that kind of person? Just yesterday, the new transfer student, a hefty boy from our class, I beat up so badly that the headmaster almost had to dismiss me. But after your husband arrived, he took on the whole family—the boy and his parents—and gave them a good beating. The school administrators were furious, yet dared not speak out—no, not even utter a word of protest!” “Oh, I see.” "Huang Xiaoniu whispered, 'Actually, Xiao Jia was also there at that hotel yesterday!' 'Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?' Fang Fei asked. Huang Xiaozi narrowed her eyes, 'Could I? If I mentioned it, who knows—my brother-in-law's husband might call me in too. Would you really be happy if she became as equal to us both so quickly?' Huang Xiaoniu frowned, 'You're absolutely right. Xiao Jia's father is now the Mayor of the City. We can't have her being both a political daughter and equal to us!' 'Exactly!' The two young women immediately formed a solid alliance in their minds, believing they had enough strength to outshine Wang Yujia. Qin Feng arrived at home, having stayed overnight at the hotel—something he always needed to explain to the girls. So he had to make it back for breakfast. The veteran coach was also there, happily devoureding a meat-and-bread roll. 'Sha Sha is here too—how's the situation going?' He picked up a cup of milk, didn't care whose it was, and poured it straight down his throat. The seasoned officer, moving with graceful elegance, wiped his lips and said, "We've located their other secret gathering point. There are about seven or eight people there, with the lord who appeared last time leading the group. They plan to carry out the attack within Qin's building, likely launching a coordinated assault!" This made Qin's young heir feel increasingly concerned. Though he could guarantee the safety of Yapo, he couldn't ensure the safety of the other staff. Once the conflict erupted, Qin's building would surely suffer significant losses. "How about we strike first, while they haven't yet taken action?" suggested the seasoned officer. "No, I believe they have more secret gathering points, and the number is definitely greater than this. Even if we manage to secure these people, the remaining ones might still carry out their mission. That would leave us in a situation of 'enemy hidden, we exposed,' which would be highly unfavorable to us," he shook his head and said. A light bulb went off in his mind, and he immediately had a plan. Smiling, he said, "Huaihuai, Fangfang, once you arrive at the office, spread the word widely about our weekend picnic—make sure everyone knows about it!" Mei Huai instantly grasped the point and replied, "You're deliberately disrupting their rhythm, forcing them to shift their strategy—from acting inside the office building to taking action during the picnic, isn't that right?" "Exactly!" He picked up another cup of milk and added, "Rather than passively defending, we'll draw the enemy into our own circle of control. Then, with the enemy exposed and us hidden, we'll have all the leverage we need—able to shape the situation as we please. Moreover, we'll create initial chaos, setting the stage for a clash between the people from the host organization. When they're exhausted and fighting each other, I'll step in to clean up the mess!" "The veteran supervisor slammed the table and said, 'Excellent idea! I suggest that besides the picnic, Huaihuai and Fangfang also share another update—namely, that Yashi has decided not to visit the Qin Group Headquarters for the coming days. With that, they'll be forced to revise their strategy!' Indeed, people power is everything—collaboration truly is the key. By afternoon, every employee at the Qin Group Headquarters had learned about these two developments. The members of the mysterious organization, who had been gradually gaining ground and were about to strike, unexpectedly overheard conversations related to these two updates. With so few people coming, what point is there in carrying out any mission? They should simply withdraw and overhaul their plans. Meanwhile, the Shengmen team was swiftly deploying personnel at the picnic site. It seemed the two sides were perfectly synchronized—the mysterious organization chose to launch attacks along the side roads, while Shengmen positioned its ambush directly at the picnic grounds, and neither side noticed the presence of the other." On a Saturday morning, a Humvee led the way, followed by a modified travel trailer, where laughter and light voices occasionally spilled out. In reality, the girls had not left the villa a single step—these were all illusions conjured by Jin Ting Mu. Qin, the young noble, rode on a flying sword, holding Jin Ting Mu in his hands, "carrying" the two vehicles he had conjured, and soared toward the picnic site. He himself was enveloped by several clouds of illusion—whether within or outside the magical zone, his presence remained invisible to all. Both parties who had received the news grew tense, gripping their weapons, waiting for the target to enter their effective range of fire so they could unleash a barrage and scatter the two vehicles. Even beneath the road surface, several landmines had been laid. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the two vehicles finally appeared. The golden-haired baron personally activated the mine controller, and there were two powerful explosions—but the scene they had hoped for did not materialize. The two vehicles, remarkably undamaged, surged through the blast zone and continued moving forward. "Their vehicles have been specially modified," the golden-haired baron waved his hand. "They're highly bullet-resistant. Keep pursuing them! We won't believe they can keep hiding inside their vehicles, getting hit all the way. Whether they emerge or not, it's a one-way trip to disaster!" A group of people followed them. At the entrance side, Xu Youcao heard the explosions and asked, "What's going on? Why did someone act so early? Isn't this like startling the very birds we're trying to catch? What if Qin Feng has already escaped—how will we complete our mission then?" His subordinate replied, "We don't know who it is. It's definitely not one of our people. Xu Elder, what should we do next?" Xu Yougao began to feel the urge to retreat. He was very clear in his mind that Qin Feng was no easy opponent, and that an unexpected incident had already occurred before the plan had even been fully unfolded. Staying here any longer would not only prevent him from completing his mission, but might even cost his life. Just as he was about to issue his orders, a group of troops surged toward them, carrying assault rifles and shouting orders to clear the way. Upon hearing this, he immediately exclaimed, "Fire! We've been had!" At the same time, a group of troops arrived at the mysterious team's location, whom they regarded as Yashi's bodyguards. Both groups were entirely illusions created by the other side. The two forces clashed fiercely, and soon real combat began.
