I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Outside an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Nanjing.

Yang Xin'er brandished the gun in her hand, pointed it at the four men in front of her, and said, "You lot, do as he says!"

"What you've done is too much! I can't accept this!" one of the men said angrily. He spoke fluent Chinese, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a slight stutter.

"boom--"

Yang Xin'er pulled the trigger immediately, killing the man who had just spoken on the spot. "Don't be defiant in front of me!"

"If you want to reason with me, talk to the gun in my hand. Are you three going to copy him too?"

The remaining three men fell silent, their hearts sinking as they looked at their dead comrade.

This woman was incredibly beautiful, and the glasses made her look even more refined. I initially thought she was just carrying a gun to scare people, and probably didn't even know how to fire one.

Who knew they'd kill without even blinking an eye!

"I... I have no complaints. I did everything you instructed, Miss!"

"I'll do as you say, I'll go right away!"

"Me too, me too!"

After a jolt, the three of them spoke up and then rushed into the factory.

"Our Xin'er is getting more and more impressive!" Qin Ge watched the three Dongyang men leave, then stepped forward and put his arm around Yang Xin'er's slender waist. "Didn't we agree that I would be the one to kill them?"

"Given your special status, aren't you afraid of causing trouble for Yang Jianjun by killing people from Dongyang like this?"

"If this gets out, some scoundrels will probably come out and say things like, 'The two countries are close neighbors and should get along amicably.'"

"This is quite a serious accusation against Yang Jianjun!"

"What nonsense about being separated by a narrow strip of water!" Yang Xin'er tried to break free from Qin Ge's grasp, but both attempts were in vain.

She glanced around, and seeing no one was nearby, simply let him hold her. "The people of Dongyang are wolves in sheep's clothing. If it weren't for the consequences, I would have already taken action against them!"

"Don't worry, these Dongyang people are dishonest. I have evidence. Even if we kill them all, the Dongyang people won't dare cause trouble; they'll have to apologize to us!"

"My dad also told me that as long as it's your business, I can do whatever I want, and he'll take responsibility no matter what happens!"

"Does that mean you have to listen to everything I say?" Qin Ge pulled Yang Xin'er closer, his mouth near her ear. "Remember that trick you used when you absolutely refused?"

"I want to try it tonight!"

Yang Xin'er blushed instantly, "Who's talking nonsense with you!"

"Aren't you going over there right now?"

"If those Dongyang people run away later, I won't be responsible!"

"What's there to be shy about? There's no one else here!" Qin Ge released Yang Xin'er and walked towards the factory entrance.

Screams echoed from inside the factory, and Qin Ge recognized the sounds.

Of course he recognized him; the one screaming was none other than Lu Qi, the eldest son of the Lu family!

"That bastard really loves to cause trouble, Lu Qi is quite pitiful..."

Yang Xin'er watched Qin Ge's figure disappear from sight, then sent a message to have someone come and deal with the body before she left as well.

"Who are you people? Why are you hitting people here?!"

Inside the factory, the three men from Dongyang were beating Lu Qi with wooden sticks.

Lu Qi had a black cloth bag over his head, his body curled up on the ground trembling like a leaf, screaming in agony.

Hearing Qin Ge's voice, his body trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Finally, someone came to save him! He's saved!

But why does this voice sound so vaguely familiar?

The three Dongyang men stopped what they were doing and looked at Qin Ge with confused expressions.

What do you mean? Didn't you tell us to come and beat up this guy?

The four of them were brought here by Yang Xin'er's men. Qin Ge immediately said that there was someone inside the factory and told them to come in so that the person inside would beat them up.

You can beat them to death, as long as you don't kill them.

One of them was quick-witted and felt that such a strange thing must be hiding some kind of conspiracy.

Because of his quick wit, Yang Xin'er offered him a peanut.

"Who did you kidnap? Was it Young Master Lu?!"

Qin Ge shouted again, and Lu Qi's body trembled, tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with excitement.

They really came to save him; he can finally escape this "nightmare"!

"It was clearly you..."

Before one of the Dongyang men could even speak, Qin Ge pounced on him like a ghost and snapped his neck with a "crack".

The other two Dongyang men were terrified when they saw this, and Qin Ge did the same to them, sending them to hell.

"What are you doing? Let go of Young Master Lu!"

Qin Ge made a show of shouting, then picked up a wooden stick from the ground and gave Lu Qi a good beating.

Lu Qi remained motionless, his heart filled with utter despair, completely oblivious to the pain in his flesh.

The greater the hope, the deeper the despair.

He had already realized that there were three people who had kidnapped him, but only one person had come to rescue him. It was perfectly normal that he was no match for them.

Which idiot could have called the police or sent more people first?

If someone finally finds you, but you can't rescue them because of your limited abilities, who can you complain to?

"Let go of Young Master Lu! Come at me if you dare!"

"Using hostages as leverage, what kind of skill is that?"

Between beatings of Lu Qi, Qin Ge would occasionally put on a performance that moved Lu Qi to tears.

He only killed the "thug" after he was tired of beating him up, then ripped the black cloth bag off Lu Qi's head. "Young Master Lu, is it really you?"

"It's you?! You are..." Lu Qi's head was spinning the moment he saw Qin Ge. His first reaction was that she looked familiar, he knew her, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Young Master Lu, it's me, Qin Ge!"

"Do you remember Xia Yanxi, from the Brilliant Bar we met in Donghai?"

Qin Ge was struggling to suppress her laughter, but her performance was so convincing.

"So it was you! I remember now!" Lu Qi's mind was still blank. Even if he went through everyone he knew three times over, he would never have imagined that the person who saved him would be Qin Ge!

"Young Master Lu, what happened to you? How did you end up being kidnapped and brought to a place like this?"

As Qin Ge untied the ropes binding Lu Qi's hands and feet, he said, "Good heavens, how did you get beaten up like this? Your mother probably won't even recognize you when you get home."

Lu Qi had almost cried all his tears, and hearing Qin Ge's words, his nose started to sting again. "I fucking want to know why they kidnapped me too!"

He glanced at the three corpses on the ground, his gaze warily scrutinizing Qin Ge. "Where is this place? Why are you here? And why did you save me?"

He couldn't really call Qin Ge a friend; they were barely even acquaintances. He couldn't think of any reason why Qin Ge would save him.

"Hey, am I wrong for saving you?" Qin Ge raised her hand and slapped Lu Qi. "Then you'd better watch yourself. I'm leaving!"

"Damn it, I kindly saved you, and you dare doubt me? Go fend for yourself!"
