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

"It's on the ship!!"

Yu Jinghong and Qin Ge arrived at the shore of Qixing Bay. She looked at the large and small boats gathered in the middle of the water, and her expression became solemn.

Wu Nanzhi's intentions were quite clear: Qin Ge had to get on the ship to save people, and once he appeared, he wouldn't be able to hide it from her!

Once Qin Ge boards the ship, Wu Nanzhi will have absolute control; she can detonate the explosives at any time.

Once the explosives detonate, Qin Ge and Lin Yao will perish in the flames, sinking into the water along with the ships, leaving no trace of their bodies!

No matter how strong Qin Ge is, it will be of no use unless his physical body is strong enough to withstand the impact of the explosion, but is that possible?

Wu Nanzhi chose this spot perfectly; there's simply no way to break this situation!

Actually, there is a way to break the deadlock, and it's quite simple: give up on saving people.

But Yu Jinghong knew that Qin Ge could not give up on Lin Yao; for him, it was a dead end!

"Let me scout ahead!"

Yu Jinghong made a decision in her heart, secretly let out a long breath, and smiled.

"Wu Nanzhi may have other plans. You stay on the shore and observe, ready to support me at any time!"

"What are you doing?"

Before Yu Jinghong could finish speaking, Qin Ge pulled her into his arms.

Qin Ge pinched her delicate face, teasing her like a child, "What, you want to die in my place?"

"Don't be silly. Since Wu Nanzhi made these arrangements, surely she thought of this?"

"Is she really that stupid? A camera could solve this."

"Either Wu Nanzhi is still on the ship, waiting to meet me before taking the next step."

"Either she has already left and set up surveillance cameras around Lin Yao's location, so she will know as soon as I appear."

"If I hadn't shown up, do you think she would have detonated the explosives?"

"But..." Yu Jinghong's eyes dimmed, and her heart sank.

"What I just said isn't the point." Qin Ge smiled slightly at Yu Jinghong's puzzled look. "You're important to me too."

"Lin Yao can't get hurt, and you absolutely can't get hurt!"

"Wait for me on the shore. Don't worry, Wu Nanzhi's explosives might not be able to hurt me."

He was a little disappointed that he hadn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage yet, otherwise he could have used his divine sense to quickly locate Lin Yao's position.

Inside a boat on the water of Qixing Bay.

Lin Yao and Lu Qi, who were bound hand and foot, exchanged a few words and learned each other's identities.

Both were from wealthy families in Nanjing and had heard of each other before, but this was their first meeting.

Lu Qi called home. After the pleasure, he was knocked unconscious by Hashimoto Aoi. When he woke up, he was tied up like a crab, and there was no one else in his sight except Lin Yao.

After learning about the situation from Lin Yao, Lu Qi roared for a long time before stopping when no one responded.

Lu Qi thought to himself, "Wu Nanzhi and Hashimoto Aoi are really like two female praying mantises. They're having their fun, but they still want to kill me!"

They're using explosives and gasoline; they're not leaving him even a trace!

"Miss Lin, do you think Qin Ge will come?"

Since he couldn't escape it anyway, and had nothing better to do, Lu Qi came to terms with it and started chatting with Lin Yao.

When he forgot about the effects of the drug and was subdued by Hashimoto Aoi at the hotel, he was already prepared to die. Everything that followed was a bonus, and he made a huge profit.

Although Wu Nanzhi and Hashimoto Aoi were coerced by him, it was really enjoyable, especially for Hashimoto Aoi, who almost overwhelmed him when she took the initiative later.

"I hope he doesn't come." Lin Yao felt conflicted. She hoped that Qin Ge would be willing to appear for her, but she also didn't want him to actually show up.

"Miss Lin is truly devoted to Brother Qin!" Lu Qi exclaimed sincerely, realizing that he was still far inferior to Qin Ge.

Lin Yao was worried about Qin Ge's safety and preferred that he not come. Then look at Wu Nanzhi and Hashimoto Aoi, what kind of people are they!

He really wanted to shove the knife in Wu Nanzhi's face and Hashimoto Aoi's mouth, to teach them a lesson from Lin Yao and make them be normal women!

How can you turn your back on someone after you've done your bidding?

In a room not too far from Qixing Bay, Wu Nanzhi lay comfortably in a chair, holding a remote control in her hand.

On the wall in front of Wu Nanzhi were various surveillance videos, with the one in the center showing the cabin where Lin Yao and Lu Qi were.

"Qin Ge, you absolutely mustn't let me down!" Wu Nanzhi tapped the table beside her lightly with her fingers. "Hashimoto, pour me a drink!"

"Hashimoto!"

She straightened up slightly, looked around, and asked, "Where is everyone?"

Wu Nanzhi turned her gaze back to the surveillance footage on the wall and froze.

In one scene, a figure is seen moving quickly, disappearing and then reappearing in another scene, approaching Lu Qi's location.

That figure was none other than Hashimoto Aoi!

"What does she want to do...?"

Wu Nanzhi's throat tightened; she had already guessed Hashimoto Aoi's intentions.

Clutching the remote tightly in her hand, she was in a state of panic.

When Hashimoto Aoi first decided to kill Lu Qi, she pleaded with her, but she refused.

If Lu Qi doesn't die, then everything she and Hashimoto Aoi went through will never truly be over, and she doesn't want to retain that unbearable memory.

That's the rational thing to do, but actually it was very difficult for her to make up her mind. She even wavered when Hashimoto Aoi pleaded with her.

"Never mind..."

Wu Nanzhi gently tugged at her collar, glancing out of the corner of her eye at a crimson stain on her round, white skin—a mark left by Lu Qi.

"Why are you back?!"

Lu Qi was pleasantly surprised to see Hashimoto Aoi appear, but his face quickly darkened. "You two vicious women, you even killed your own men, are you even human?"

"The more frantically you screamed back then, the more vicious you were when you wanted to kill me, right?"

"Since you've decided to blow me up here, why are you pretending to come back? You can bring me ingots and candles on my seventh day after death!"

Lin Yao was stunned. She racked her brains for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the relationship was between Lu Qi and Hashimoto Aoi.

Judging from his words, it seems there was a deep connection, but why kill him?

"I don't have time to waste with you, come with me!"

Hashimoto Aoi drew her dagger, cut the ropes binding Lu Qi, and dragged him outside.

"Wait!" Lu Qi stopped abruptly, turning back to look at Lin Yao. "Take her with you!"

Hashimoto Aoi paused, her brows furrowing. "You're having an affair with her too?"

"What the hell are you thinking?" Lu Qi shoved Hashimoto Aoi's hand away. "She's my brother Qin's woman!"

"Stop fucking talking nonsense to me, I'll just ask you one question: can I bring it?"

"If I don't take her with me, I'm not leaving!"

"It's not up to you!" Hashimoto Aoi's face darkened, and she quickly pointed a finger.

Unable to move, Lu Qi was carried away from the cabin by Hashimoto Aoi.

Lin Yao, still in a daze, only came to her senses after the two disappeared. She smiled wryly, thinking that this Young Master Lu was quite loyal.

Wu Nanzhi stared quietly at the surveillance footage; she had witnessed everything that had just happened.

At the same time that Hashimoto Aoi was taking Lu Qi to the cabin, Qin Ge's figure appeared in another surveillance video!
