"!!!"
Meng Shulan and the remaining guards were startled, their faces instantly showing unexpected colors.
Han Sanwan and Han Xin, upon seeing this, rejoiced and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after their initial shock, Meng Shulan commanded the other guards, "All of you, move! Capture him!"
The remaining dozen or so guards charged towards Qin Yi.
"Heh heh..."
Qin Yi sneered disdainfully and vanished from his original position.
Next, before the guards could even comprehend what was happening, they felt heavy blows strike their bodies.
And then, there was no then.
Under the impact, they were all sent flying, landing in various parts of the hotel lobby, groaning in pain, unable to get up for a while.
Meng Shulan was utterly stunned, sitting motionless as if struck by a paralyzing acupuncture point.
Qin Yi stopped and deliberately clapped his hands, just like the previous guard.
He said to Meng Shulan, "Your men are no good! It seems you won't be able to take me tonight!"
Meng Shulan's face turned pale and then flushed, looking extremely displeased!
After a moment, Meng Shulan stood up. Despite her immense unwillingness, she walked towards the hotel exit without hesitation.
All the guards she had brought were no match for Qin Yi; what else could she do but leave?
"Stop!"
Before Meng Shulan had taken a few steps, Qin Yi called out to her, "Did I say you could leave?"
She thought she could come to deal with him and then just leave? It wasn't that easy!
Most importantly, the reason she came to deal with him was because he had saved her son. And she was repaying kindness with enmity...
Qin Yi felt angry just thinking about it, and naturally, he was unwilling to let her leave so easily.
However, just as he called out to Meng Shulan, Han Sanwan signaled him and whispered, "Qin Yi, she's the wife of the mayor of Lingnan City. Don't be impulsive!"
"Yes, Qin Yi, you must calm down. If you do anything to her tonight, you'll be in big trouble!" Han Xin also warned.
Qin Yi nodded upon hearing them, indicating he understood.
Then, he walked in front of Meng Shulan and said, "Your son was attacked by a tiger in Yunwu Mountain, and I saved him. If it weren't for me, your son would likely be dead by now!"
Meng Shulan simply stared at him, saying nothing.
"I'll let you go today, but if there's a next time, no matter who you are, I will definitely make you regret it!" Qin Yi continued.
Meng Shulan still said nothing. After staring at him for two more seconds, she skirted around him and left.
As soon as Meng Shulan left, Han Sanwan and Han Xin both breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Later, Qin Yi returned home alone, while Han Xin went back with Han Sanwan.
Han Xin had originally intended to go home with Qin Yi, but after Meng Shulan's commotion, she lost all interest. Moreover, with Han Sanwan present, she felt even more embarrassed to go with Qin Yi.
When Qin Yi returned home, Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei were already asleep.
Qin Yi didn't disturb them and quietly returned to his room.
Midnight.
Lingnan City.
Hong Mao lay in the hospital bed, unable to sleep, awaiting news from Meng Shulan.
Wang Bin, Guo Jie, and others had already left the hospital, but the seductive woman had not. She stayed by the bedside, accompanying Hong Mao.
"Su Miao, what time is it!" Hong Mao asked the seductive woman.
Su Miao glanced at her phone and replied, "Brother Jin, it's already 3:30!"
"It's 3:30. Why hasn't my mom come back yet..."
"Brother Jin, why don't you try to sleep? I'll wake you when Auntie returns!"
Su Miao gently pulled the blanket for Hong Mao, saying with apparent concern.
"No, I want to wait until my mom brings that brat back!"
Hong Mao said with hatred in his eyes, "Since I was a child, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that. I will teach him a good lesson, or I won't be able to quell my anger!"
"Mmm hmm..."
Su Miao nodded twice quickly and said, "Auntie has already taken people to capture him, and she should be back soon. By then, Brother Jin, you can teach him a lesson however you like to vent your anger!"
Creak.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Meng Shulan walked in.
Upon seeing her, Su Miao stood up immediately from the bedside, "Auntie!"
Hong Mao also tried to get up, but due to injuries all over his body, he couldn't. Seeing that Meng Shulan had returned alone without Qin Yi behind her, he asked, "Mom, why are you alone? Where is that person?"
"Alas!"
Meng Shulan approached the bedside and sighed heavily, saying dejectedly, "I failed. I couldn't capture that person!"
Hong Mao and Su Miao were both confused.
Hong Mao asked, "Mom, how could you fail? Didn't you bring so many guards with you?"
"They are all no match for him..."
Meng Shulan's expression was complex as she recounted how all the dozen guards were defeated by Qin Yi.
After listening, Hong Mao and Su Miao exchanged glances, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Hong Mao punched the hospital bed with his uninjured hand, "What should we do then? I'm not satisfied if I can't vent this anger, Mom, I'm not satisfied!"
Meng Shulan sat on a chair, deep in thought.
After a while, Hong Mao thought of something and said, "Mom, how about this, I'll tell Dad, and have him use his connections..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Meng Shulan interrupted him, "No! You know your father's temper. Wanting him to use his connections to help you is just wishful thinking. It would be good enough if he doesn't stop us!"
"This matter absolutely cannot be known to him!"
Hong Mao fell silent and lay on the bed, his face filled with unwillingness.
After a moment, Meng Shulan said, "Since he's so skilled at fighting, and ordinary people are no match for him, then we won't send ordinary people to deal with him!"
"Tomorrow, as soon as it's dawn, I'll go to the Tie Xian Quan Guan myself. If the people from Tie Xian Quan Guan take action, they should be able to do it!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light instantly appeared in Hong Mao's eyes.
Su Miao, on the other hand, looked bewildered and somewhat clueless!
Clearly, he didn't know what Tie Xian Quan Guan represented!
...
Qin Yi was woken up by Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei's voices in the morning.
He got up around seven o'clock and walked out of his room.
Qin Lei, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, was startled when she saw him. Then she blurted out, "Brother, when did you get back? I thought you and Sister Xin... didn't come back last night!"
Qin Yi didn't understand her meaning at first. However, when he saw her expression and the tone of her voice, he immediately understood.
He walked into the kitchen and flicked Qin Lei on the head, saying, "What are you always thinking about?"
