Chapter 531: Chapter 529 Conflict
Qin Hao felt a bit guilty. If it weren’t to deceive Zhao Mengke and Lin Yuhan, he wouldn’t want to deceive the simple Gu Qinyue.
But on second thought, Gu Qinyue’s identity was mysterious, with an inseparable connection to the Witch Race.
In a way, this could also be considered a "search for family."
If luck was on their side, they might be able to uncover the mystery of Gu Qinyue’s origins.
"Mr. Qin Hao, I agree to go with you!"
When it came to family, Gu Qinyue agreed without hesitation.
Zhao Mengke puffed her cheeks in displeasure on the side, but she didn’t say much.
"That’s good."
Qin Hao smiled with relief: "Then pack your things, we’ll set off on time in two days."
Time flew by, and two days passed.
At six in the morning, while Zhao Mengke and Lin Yuhan were still lost in their dreams, Qin Hao and Gu Qinyue got up early.
They quietly ate breakfast and sneaked out with their simple suitcases.
Walking towards the meeting point, they hailed a cab by the roadside. Gu Qinyue stretched lazily: "Mr. Qin Hao, it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten up so early. But is it necessary to keep it from the two sisters?"
Qin Hao yawned too and said, "I’m afraid those two girls won’t let us leave, so it’s better to leave without saying goodbye."
Gu Qinyue pursed her lips and smiled: "Then you better prepare to be beaten when you return. Sister Yu Han is gentle, but Sister Meng Ke will definitely not let you off!"
Thinking of the pain of having his ear tugged, Qin Hao instinctively touched his earlobe and pretended to be pathetic: "Oh, poor my delicate little ears!"
The two happily chatted like this, and soon they were nearing the meeting point.
At this moment, Qin Hao noticed that Gu Qinyue looked anxious and a bit uneasy, and feeling guilty, he couldn’t help but say, "Qinyue, actually, I lied to you. This time I’m not taking you to the Zhao Family members..."
Hearing this, Gu Qinyue’s expression changed for a moment, but she quickly resumed smiling: "Actually, I guessed it long ago. You lied to me to stabilize the emotions of Sister Meng Ke and Sister Yu Han, didn’t you?"
Qin Hao nodded in shame: "That’s right. Actually, this time I’m taking you to snatch the Witch Race’s Gu Poison..."
Then, he explained the entire situation.
Gu Qinyue listened and contemplated for a while, then suddenly excitedly said: "You’re right. This time many people will definitely be fighting for the Gu Poison. Maybe I can meet someone from the Witch Race and truly uncover the mystery of my origins!"
As she spoke, the car suddenly stopped—it turned out they had reached their destination.
After paying and getting out of the car, Qin Hao and Gu Qinyue arrived in front of a factory on the outskirts of the city.
The factory looked abandoned from the outside, but in fact, it was a secret military liaison point.
At this moment, a group of imposing people was standing at the factory gate. Among them were Sun Aihua and a middle-aged man in military uniform.
Qin Hao smiled at Gu Qinyue, which greatly eased her pressure, and then he led her forward.
"Young Friend Qin, you’re twenty minutes early from the agreed time!"
Sun Aihua looked at his watch and welcomed them with a smile.
Qin Hao waved his hand: "Commander Sun, don’t tease me. I bet everyone’s been waiting for a while, right?"
Sun Aihua smiled amicably: "No, we just arrived too."
After some pleasantries, the middle-aged military man next to Sun Aihua showed dissatisfaction: "Elder Sun, I suggest Viper be the leader for this operation."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Hao with hostile eyes.
Sun Aihua’s smile turned a bit awkward as he looked at Qin Hao without saying much.
Qin Hao frowned—he didn’t expect someone to start causing trouble as soon as he showed up.
Seeing Sun Aihua’s expression, it was clear that this guy didn’t plan to get involved, probably thinking of it as a test.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Hao quietly glanced at the middle-aged military man and the four people behind him.
Behind him were three men and one woman.
The man called Viper was thin, with beady eyes that were very sinister, easily reminding one of a snake lurking in the shadows.
At that moment, he ignored Qin Hao and kept staring at Gu Qinyue, with a cold smile on his lips, showing no attempt to hide his lustful intentions.
The other two men were one old and one young. The older one looked about forty, with dark skin and bulging temples, clearly a master. The younger one was about twenty, with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an energetic vibe.
As for the woman, she stood out among the four.
She was about 170 cm tall, with a curvy figure, flat stomach, and clearly someone who frequents the gym. Her voluptuous and explosive body was wrapped in tight black clothing, showing off her figure to the fullest.
Her relatively remarkable face now wore a curious smile, her eyes charming as she occasionally winked at Qin Hao.
Wow, such a stunner?
Initially in a bad mood, Qin Hao suddenly felt a bit delighted.
With a beauty accompanying him, this journey was not going to be boring!
The middle-aged man’s shoulder badge indicated he was a lieutenant general, signifying his high status, accustomed to giving orders.
Understanding this, Qin Hao casually said, "Commander Sun, I suddenly remembered something I need to do. You’d better find someone else for this mission."
Saying so, he pretended to leave. Just kidding, I’m already compromising by joining this mission, and now they want to take the leader role too?
You all can play by yourselves!
Sun Aihua’s expression changed too, and he pleaded: "Young Friend Qin, don’t go. We can discuss the matter of the leader..."
Just as he finished speaking, the man named Viper sneered coldly, "Elder Sun, this guy wants to run away at the first disagreement. Clearly, he’s a soft target. We four can fully handle this mission. You don’t have to do this!"
Sun Aihua forced a bitter smile. The military had gone through a lot to gather this eccentric team, and now, internal conflict had already arisen before cooperation even started—he was quite helpless.
Hearing Viper’s words, Qin Hao felt highly displeased.
He hadn’t even mocked this guy, yet he was getting pushed around?
He coldly laughed, "You, ugly guy, it’s one thing to look hideous, but why is your mouth so filthy? Did you just crawl out of a cesspool?"
"You!"
Viper’s face changed, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Qin Hao: "You’re good at talking, but I wonder about your skills."
With these words, the other three team members had a curious look, quite pleased with the confrontational scene full of tension.
They hailed from various places, meeting each other for the first time today. On the surface, things seemed calm, but they held their disdain for one another in their hearts.
Now, with Qin Hao and Viper clashing, they were more than happy to watch the show.
