Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

The moment the gates of hell completely close.

Qin Quan's spiritual energy was exhausted, and he could no longer hold on. His body suddenly fell from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the bluestone slabs of Baiyun Temple.

The muffled thud sent shards of stone flying, and blood immediately trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Even with pure Yang energy protecting him, simultaneously using lightning magic and array sword techniques is still too much of a strain..."

He tried to get up by pushing himself up from the ground, but he was completely exhausted. The spiritual energy in his dantian had been completely drained, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"I must break through to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible."

His eyes were filled with resentment. Only by being strong enough could he protect those around him and uncover the Qin family's old grudges.

"Qin Quan!"

Jiang Yao was terrified when she saw Qin Quan fall from the sky.

She ripped off her Taoist robe and rushed over like a madwoman, carefully pulling Qin Quan into her arms.

"What happened to you? Where are you hurt? Don't scare me!"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little weak from depleted spiritual energy, I'll be fine after a while."

Qin Quan leaned against her, his breath weak, but he still forced a smile and gently patted the back of her hand with his fingertips.

Song Hongyan, who was standing nearby, also leaned over, her eyes full of worry, silently watching over her without daring to disturb her.

at the same time.

The president's office at Qingcheng Group was brightly lit.

Lin Wanrou was still chairing the meeting, while Zhu Hong and Liu Hui were already so tired that their eyelids were drooping and their heads were nodding off.

Ye Qiu, who was in charge of recording the meeting, was even dozing off on the table, his pen scribbling randomly on the paper.

Seeing this, Lin Wanrou coughed twice and said in a cold voice:

"That's all for tonight. Everyone go home and get some rest. We'll review the details again before tomorrow's press conference to make sure everything goes perfectly."

"yes!"

The three women breathed a sigh of relief and answered in unison, their voices filled with exhaustion.

For the launch of the Xiuhua Cream, they had stayed up for several nights in a row, drinking coffee and strong tea non-stop, but the exhaustion still weighed them down.

They were always puzzled as to why Lin Wanrou, who was even busier than them, was still full of energy and had a rosy complexion.

Looking at ourselves, we all had dark circles under our eyes and looked haggard, like we had just recovered from a serious illness.

Zhu Hong couldn't help but ask:

"President Lin, we've all been staying up all night, how come you look so healthy while we're practically collapsing? This is just too unfair!"

Lin Wanrou was about to speak when she suddenly stopped.

She forgot that she was already a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, while the three women were just ordinary mortals with mortal bodies.

Comparing cultivators to ordinary people is like comparing apples and oranges; they're simply not on the same level.

"Keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you the secret when the next product comes out."

She feigned mystery and sent the three away.

Lin Wanrou was the only one left in the huge office. She stretched and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside, feeling quite happy.

Just then, a small insect resembling a beetle silently landed on the glass, its wings vibrating rapidly and making a soft buzzing sound.

Lin Wanrou subconsciously bent down to check.

The next second, the insect's wings vibrated more violently, and the three-layer-thick tempered glass trembled slightly, rippling.

Then, a strange purple light suddenly shot out from the insect's body.

boom!

Whoosh!

The tempered glass shattered instantly, shards of glass scattered all over the ground, and the night wind blew in the debris.

Lin Wanrou's expression changed drastically, and she quickly retreated to avoid it, but the little insect pounced straight at her arm at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye!

"hiss!"

The tingling pain in her arm made her gasp.

Looking down, I saw a small red dot on my arm, with a drop of blood seeping out slightly.

She assumed it was just a scratch from broken glass and didn't pay much attention to it.

She then quickly went to her desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the security office.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and two security guards rushed over with a plastic sheet, quickly covered the broken window, and hurriedly left.

As soon as they left, Lin Wanrou felt dizzy, weak in her limbs, and her strength was rapidly draining away.

"What's going on...?"

"Hehehe, we finally succeeded!"

Just then, a sinister laugh rang out. Lin Wanrou's vision blurred, and she could only see a disheveled figure slowly approaching.

Before she could make a move, she completely lost consciousness and collapsed heavily to the ground.

The next morning.

The launch event for the "Shy Flower Cream" was held as scheduled.

Qin Quan arrived at the venue with Song Hongyan and Jiang Yao. Before they could even sit down, Ye Qiu rushed over in a panic.

"Mr. Qin, something terrible has happened! President Lin has gone missing!"

"What happened? Don't rush, tell me slowly!"

Qin Quan's eyes turned cold, and a strange unease rose in his heart.

Although Ye Qiu was impulsive, he never dared to joke about Lin Wanrou's affairs.

Ye Qiu steadied himself and spoke rapidly:

"After we finished working overtime last night, Ms. Lin told us to go home and rest, but she stayed in her office alone. Later, the security guard said that the window of her office was broken. After they covered it with plastic sheeting, they were unable to contact Ms. Lin again."

Qin Quan's face instantly darkened, and his heart tightened.

Something must have happened to Lin Wanrou!

"Xiao Qiu, the press conference is handled by General Manager Zhu. Regardless of whether I can get General Manager Lin back, all projects will proceed as normal, understand?"

"clear!"

Ye Qiu nodded emphatically, his expression more solemn than ever before.

Qin Quan hurriedly instructed Jiang Yao to take good care of Song Hongyan before turning around and driving straight to Qingcheng Group.

Not long after, in the office on the thirty-sixth floor.

Qin Quan bent down to examine the ground, his nose twitched slightly, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

"This is the scent of Gu worms! It's clear that Qiu Qianren kidnapped the proprietress!"

Globally, only the Gu Poison Cult cultivates Gu worms.

He only had a grudge against Qiu Qianren.

Last night, Qin Quan was busy treating Song Hongyan and did not expect Qiu Qianren to take advantage of the situation.

"Xiao Yi, locate Qiu Qianren and Lin Wanrou immediately!"

"Reporting back to Emperor Wu of Qin, Qiu Qianren entered Gaolan Mountain this morning, and Xiao Yi did not find any trace of Lin Wanrou."

Xiao Yi's mechanical voice sounded just in time.

"Not by his side?"

Qin Quan was taken aback, but the smell of poison in the office couldn't be fake. Apart from Qiu Qianren, he had no other enemies.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, right!"

He left Lin Wanrou a talisman last night to suppress the pure Yin energy, and now it comes in handy.

He formed hand seals, silently chanted a spell, and used all his spiritual sense to connect with the talisman.

Once you find the location of the talisman, you can find Lin Wanrou!

"Found it!"

A moment later, a look of joy appeared on Qin Quan's face, the sensation transmitted by the talisman was extremely clear.

Lin Wanrou is in the center of Jincheng, which is the same place where Qiu Qianchi hid before.

He didn't dare to delay, turned around, went downstairs, and drove straight to the center of Jincheng.

The wheels rolled over the road, kicking up clouds of dust.

At the same time.

Inside a dark cave on Gaolan Mountain, Qiu Qianren, who was meditating to recover from his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face turned ashen.

"Not good! My Gu nest has been attacked by a powerful mental attack!"

"Could it be that Qin Quan discovered it?"

Ignoring his still-healing injuries, he suddenly stood up and shot out of the cave like an arrow.

They walk with incredible speed and ease, as if treading on flat ground.

They ran frantically toward the center of Jincheng.
