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

"Wait a minute!" Lu Qi panicked as soon as he saw Qin Ge about to leave, and hurriedly followed after her, showing no anger whatsoever despite having just been slapped.

"I was just wondering because I thought it was strange, Brother Qin, please don't take it to heart!"

Lu Qi adopted an extremely humble posture. Putting aside the fact that Qin Ge was his savior, he dared not show any temper given his current situation.

With the situation unclear and no one even knowing where they were, Qin Ge was now his only hope for survival!

Qin Ge stopped and said seriously, "I happened to see a few Dongyang people acting suspiciously with someone whose head was covered. I felt that the figure looked familiar."

"So I secretly followed them here, arriving at this abandoned factory. I never expected it to be you, Young Master Lu!"

"Young Master Lu, what's going on? Why are the people from Dongyang kidnapping you?"

"I fucking want to know why too!" Lu Qi's nose stung, and tears of grievance welled up, but he suppressed them.

"I was inexplicably kidnapped, and then brought here today. They keep hitting me and asking if I'll talk, but they haven't asked me anything!"

He glanced at the corpses on the ground, his gaze turning cold and sharp. "Brother Qin, are you saying these people are from Dongyang, and that I was kidnapped by people from Dongyang?"

"Probably, it seems to be someone from some kind of business association or guild." Qin Ge feigned ignorance, "Young Master Lu, how did you offend someone from Dongyang?"

"I've heard that the Jinghe Chamber of Commerce is not to be trifled with; they have powerful backers!"

"Sigh, I think we should just forget about it and pretend we don't know. Suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise!"

"Young Master Lu, I killed these Dongyang people to save you. You mustn't betray me!"

"Bullshit! They think they're not to be trifled with!" Lu Qi gritted his teeth. He had already been suspicious of the tone of the Dongyang people earlier, but now he believed Qin Ge's words without a doubt. "Others may be afraid of them, but I'm not!"

"Since the Jinghe Chamber of Commerce dares to mess with me, then be prepared for a fight to the death!"

"What era are we living in? These Dongyang dogs still dare to bully us on our Chinese soil! They've really given us face!"

He looked Qin Ge up and down again. "Brother Qin, I owe you a lot this time. I will always remember this kindness. If you need anything in Jinling in the future, just say the word. Your business is my business!"

"I just didn't expect you to be so amazing, taking down these three Dongyang dogs all by yourself!"

Qin Ge casually made up a story, "I was fortunate enough to meet a renowned master who taught me a little about martial arts; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to rashly follow them here!"

"I see!" Lu Qi exclaimed in sudden realization. "Let's call it even about what happened in the East China Sea. If you don't mind, Brother Qin, we'll be good brothers from now on!"

Qin Ge feigned ignorance and asked, "East China Sea? What's the East China Sea? What does Young Master Lu mean?"

"Uh, no, nothing!" Lu Qi thought of what happened in the private room of the Donghai Brilliant Bar, his sphincter tightened, and his expression became quite awkward. "To be honest, I used to really like Xia Yanxi!"

"When I met you, Brother Qin, in Donghai, I thought you weren't good enough for her and wanted to steal her away!"

"Brother Qin, don't worry, that's all in the past. I promise I won't try anything with Xia Yanxi again!"

"So that's what Young Master Lu meant. It's nothing!" Qin Ge chuckled inwardly. This kid Lu Qi probably wasn't uninterested in Xia Yanxi, but rather uninterested in women in general!

"Young Master Lu, let's not talk about this now, let's leave here and discuss it further!"

"Wait a minute." Lu Qi remembered something. "Brother Qin, did you only see me when you arrived?"

"What I mean is, is there no one else besides these Dongyang people?"

"No! Judging from what you're saying, Mr. Lu, could it be that others have also been kidnapped?" Qin Ge knew that Lu Qi wanted to know about Weng Quan's whereabouts.

This guy is actually somewhat reliable; he's not as spoiled as I imagined. He's already thinking about serious matters as soon as I escaped danger.

Weng Quan is still in Yang Xin'er's hands, how could Qin Ge possibly tell him!

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually." Lu Qi replied casually, he would never dare to tell anyone about Weng Quan's matter.

The two left the factory and returned to the Lu family home together.

The entire Lu family was already frantic with worry. Although Lu Qi had often disappeared for ten days or half a month before, at least they could still contact him and know where he was.

This time, he had only disappeared for two days at most, but he lost contact without any warning. Even Peng Jiashu, who was closest to Lu Qi, did not know where he went!

All signs indicate that something has happened to Lu Qi!

After a thorough search and investigation, the Lu family became even more certain that Lu Qi was in trouble, and it was no small matter!

In Jinling, how many forces could make Lu Qi disappear without a trace, leaving no trace even for the Lu family?

Lu Qi's parents, Lu Xiuyuan and Qiao Peishan, went through everyone who had grudges against the Lu family and Lu Qi over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out. They really couldn't think of anyone who would target Lu Qi.

Lu Xiuyuan and his wife have barely slept these past two days, especially Qiao Peishan, who has been crying almost all day.

They didn't dare call the police, and only sent members of the Lu family out to search. Now they just hope that the kidnappers are after money and will take the initiative to contact them.

If it's just about money, that's easy to handle; the Lu family has no shortage of money!

"Sir, Madam, Young Master Lu Qi is back!"

"Young...Young Master is back!"

The butler rushed in from outside, breathless and excited.

The couple, Lu Xiuyuan and his wife, trembled as if they had been electrocuted, and then stood up simultaneously, exclaiming in unison, "What did you say?!"

Before the butler could speak, Lu Qi and Qin Ge had already come into view.

Lu Qi and his family of three embraced and wept uncontrollably.

Lu Qi choked up as he recounted his ordeal to his parents, and then introduced Qin Ge to them.

Lu Xiuyuan and his wife naturally expressed their deepest gratitude to Qin Ge.

Lu Qi had initially felt a little awkward in front of Qin Ge, but seeing his parents like this, he couldn't care less and burst into tears.

Qin Ge looked on with emotion, thinking, "He's still just a child. Was I too harsh?"

It took a long time for the family of three to regain their composure.

But when Jopesanne saw the injuries on her son's body, she couldn't control herself and covered her face, crying bitterly.

The three Dongyang men handled the situation quite well; Lu Qi was covered in wounds, a shocking sight, yet they didn't kill him—just the right amount of damage.

After arranging for Lu Qi to receive treatment, Lu Xiuyuan went to Qin Ge to express his gratitude and presented her with a bank card containing 20 million yuan as a token of his appreciation.

When he learned that Qin Ge came from the East China Sea, he immediately extended a warm invitation to Qin Ge to stay at the Lu family's residence, wanting to treat him well and fulfill his duties as a host.

"What exactly is this guy trying to do?"

In a car outside the Lu residence, Yang Xin'er would occasionally glance up in the direction of the Lu family's gate.

She knew Qin Ge had entered the Lu family and probably wouldn't be coming out for a while, and she even said something about going out at night—she was just lying!
