Chapter 134: Assassination of "Boss Xia,"...

"Boss Xia," Xiao An's cousin knew Xia Yiqing's identity and understood that she was here to meet someone, but they had stayed here too long and had already attracted other people's attention.

"We're leaving."

They were too far away, and the man was mostly hidden by Gongsun Yang, so Xia Yiqing really couldn't see his face clearly.

But the man was tall and had long legs, and his arms were not short either, almost reaching his knees. His body was well-proportioned, and he looked a bit like Qi Hanmu.

It must be Qi Hanmu.

Xia Yiqing curled the corners of her mouth and thanked her cousin Xiao An, but after taking two steps, she stopped.

She looked apologetic. "Sorry, I want to go inside and take a look. I promise not to cause any trouble. Is that okay with you?"

This place was only a few steps away from the kitchen, so after a little hesitation, cousin Xiao An finally agreed.

"Then Mr. Xia, please be careful. If all else fails, just keep your head down and pretend to be a cake shop employee. I'll take care of it for you."

There was warmth in her eyes again, and Xia Yiqing's voice trembled slightly, "Thank you."

This world is always beautiful. When you think all hope is lost, there will always be a few people who will lend you a helping hand and pull you out of the swamp of despair.

At this moment, at the entrance of the VIP lounge on the first floor, Gongsun Yang frowned in dissatisfaction, "Han Ying, why are you here? Where is your brother?"

Qi Hanying scratched his hair and gave a slightly apologetic smile.

"My brother suddenly felt unwell at the company's sister's engagement party, so I came in his place. Anyway, he didn't say he was engaged to someone in the Qi family, so how about... just the two of us?"

"No," Gongsun Yang refused decisively. Her face was blue with anger, but it was covered by makeup so it couldn't be seen.

"How could you lie to me like this? Didn't you agree that it was Brother Han Mu? How could it be you?"

Sensing that the young lady had gotten into a conflict with someone, the bodyguard standing behind Gongsun Yang, A Li, stepped forward and stood in front of the 1.80-meter-tall Qi Hanying, like a mountain, "Don't bully the young lady."

Gongsun Yang saw that Qi Hanying looked embarrassed, and many guests nearby were attracted by the commotion. She was overwhelmed by pride and embarrassed, so she angrily took Qi Hanying's hand and pulled him back to the VIP lounge.

"Make it clear to me today. If the Third Master doesn't come, I don't think there's any point in getting married."

Normally, Gongsun Yang is a rational person, but this matter touched her bottom line.

Before, Gongsun Yang had always been in favor of cooperating with the Qi family because the marriage partner was Qi Hanmu.

Although in the eyes of many people, Qi Hanmu has a violent temper, is born weak, and has scars on his face, being with him would not be a good choice.

But Gongsun Yang could see at a glance that although the Qi family was prominent, in recent years, only Qi Hanmu had made any progress.

Qi Hanying looks like Qi Hanmu's younger brother, but in reality, his abilities are far inferior to Qi Hanmu's and he cannot be compared with him at all.

Unexpectedly, Qi Hanying's face turned sour. He pushed open the door and turned to look at Gongsun Yang. "In that case, the engagement party is cancelled."

Fifth floor.

Xia Yiqing didn't want to see the person who made her sad on the first floor, and she heard that the fifth floor was where Old Madam Qi was.

She had previously promised Old Madam Qi not to see Qi Hanmu, but later she secretly went to see him. No matter what, she broke her promise and still wanted to apologize to the old lady.

I originally thought that I would at least be stopped by the bodyguards, but unexpectedly, there was no one on the fifth floor.

It was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Xia Yiqing could hear her own heartbeat. She walked past several rooms whose doors were wide open but no one was inside. She stopped at the door of the last room.

There's a sound inside.

In the room, Old Madam Qi looked at her second son and frowned, "Today is the engagement party for my beloved grandson and Miss Gongsun. I remember that you were not invited."

"Yes, Mom, but my son is short of money. If you give me some money, I will leave immediately and not embarrass myself in front of you."

The man wearing an antique gown and having semi-long hair was obviously a little mentally ill. His eyes behind the black-framed glasses reflected a frightening light.

Madam Qi slowly maneuvered her wheelchair towards the door, but stopped when she noticed his suddenly fierce look. "How much do you want?"

"Seventy million."

Madam Qi's heart skipped a beat. "This is not a small amount."

"The old lady has been in charge of the company for so long, and she has such a good relationship with your grandson. If she just opens her mouth, wouldn't the 70 million be within her grasp?"

Mr. Qi adjusted his glasses and smiled, as if he was determined to win.

"This is really not a small amount. I have to tell Han Mu first."

"Do you think I'm stupid? He'll definitely ask you why you want such a large sum of money. Now, transfer the money to the bank account I specified!"

Xia Yiqing only heard screams from inside. In her panic, she didn't have time to call for help. She took two steps back, took a run-up, and kicked the door.

The door shook twice but didn't move. Xia Yiqing retreated again, took three steps and kicked it hard. With a bang, the wooden door shook violently.

Seeing that there was a chance, Xia Yiqing kicked the gap between the door and the lock at the last second. With a loud bang, the door opened inward, revealing the scene of two people arguing inside.

Old Madam Qi sat in a wheelchair with her eyes wide open. Opposite her, Mr. Qi II held a knife in a condescending posture, ready to chop her down.

When the sunlight shines on it, the blade reflects a clear light, so white that it is dazzling and frightening.

"stop!"

Xia Yiqing shouted loudly and rushed forward.

At this time, she deliberately did it to maintain muscle strength training, and the effect began to show.

Facing Mr. Qi stabbing with a knife, Xia Yiqing dodged to the side accurately, went around behind Mr. Qi, and occasionally raised her foot quickly to kick him in the side.

The two were fighting in the center. Old Madam Qi turned her wheelchair and tried to get to the window. Unfortunately, before she could open the window to ask for help, Mr. Qi left Xia Yiqing behind and rushed towards the old madam.

He took the knife and held it against Madam Qi's neck, his eyes were fierce and his breathing was heavy.

"Don't move, I just want money, I don't want your lives!"

Xia Yiqing clenched her fists, and a bold idea came to her mind.

She deliberately raised her eyebrows, shrugged, and pulled the corner of her mouth, and said in a nonchalant and sarcastic tone, "Is Second Master Qi scared? If it gets out, it would be embarrassing for Second Master Qi to be unable to even beat a woman."

The more nonchalant Xia Yiqing's attitude was, the more colorful the expression on Mr. Qi's face became.

His teeth were chattering, his eyes were glaring as if they were spitting fire, and with a cry of "ah", he threw Madam Qi aside and stabbed straight in the direction of Xia Yiqing with the blade in his hand.

This time, he used all his strength.

And because he was obviously angry, Mr. Qi was extremely fast, but not without any method.

Xia Yiqing's pupils shrank. This man might have received professional combat training. The way he looked so weak just now was just a joke for her.

Unfortunately, Xia Yiqing also knows a little bit about fighting.

There was no other way. She was not as wealthy as Qi Hanmu and had no bodyguards around her. She had to be responsible for her own safety. Xiao An was also weak, so she had to practice on her own.

The two fought for nearly ten minutes, and Xia Yiqing finally began to lose the upper hand.

Those who wear shoes are always afraid of those who are barefoot. This is originally the principle of compromise among the happy. But when she saw Old Madam Qi lying in the wheelchair behind her and unable to move, Xia Yiqing gritted her teeth and continued to fight with Mr. Qi.

Knowing that the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him, Mr. Qi acted like a madman.

He swung the knife so wildly that it was hard to tell where it would strike in the next second. Xia Yiqing was so close that she could even smell the dark and rotten breath of this man.

"Why don't you give me any money? I'm your biological son!"

Master Qi shouted loudly, and while Xia Yiqing was not paying attention, he made a feint, seemingly to dodge, but actually kicked Xia Yiqing in the knee, forcing her to kneel down. He then pressed Xia Yiqing's shoulders and slashed towards her with the knife in his right hand.

When Mr. Qi was angry, he was not controlled by his reason and had great strength. Xia Yiqing was unable to break free for a while.

But in critical moments, rabbits can still bite people.

Xia Yiqing burst out with amazing strength and forced herself to the side. The knife that was supposed to be inserted into her neck went into her abdomen instead, sank deeply into it, and was then suddenly pulled out.

Xia Yiqing's cake shop employee uniform had long been dyed dark red. She was not unfamiliar with the dizziness brought about by dropping out of school; it was even quite familiar to her.

Because every woman feels this powerlessness every month, but they have been taught to endure it since childhood. Even if they don’t have the patience, they may have gotten used to it over the years.

So, when Mr. Qi thought that Xia Yiqing's trouble was over and he could continue to threaten Old Madam Qi, suddenly, a hand pressed his shoulder hard from behind and forced him to turn back.

Then Xia Yiqing hit him hard on the head with her elbow, once, twice.

When the third blow came, Mr. Qi dodged in a panic. Because he was struggling, Xia Yiqing didn't hit him accurately, and the second blow hit his nose, causing a pool of nosebleed.

"Bullying an old man is nothing," Xia Yiqing pressed her abdomen with one hand, but the smile on her mouth became more and more obvious, and the corners of her eyes curved, as if she really was a young boy who was ignorant of the world.

"Look at me, your opponent is here."

Having been injured, Xia Yiqing was obviously not as agile as before. She was unable to dodge a few times and was stabbed in the abdomen again.

Mr. Qi's eyes were already red at this time, and he had almost completely lost his mind. Naturally, he didn't notice that Xia Yiqing was fighting with him while quietly leading him to the door.

When she came in just now, Xia Yiqing kicked the door and made quite a noise. Now, she could only hope to lead people to the door so that the noise would attract more people's attention and someone would come to help.

Third floor.

Qi Hanmu didn't know why, but his right eyelid was twitching violently today. He frowned, raised his hand, and slowly pressed down the trembling eyelid.

Maybe I didn’t get enough rest yesterday, Qi Hanmu comforted himself in this way.

"Knock knock--" Qi Hanying came uninvited.

He pushed the door open, reached out and ripped off his tie, his eyes disdainful, "Brother, you're right. The young lady from the Gongsun family doesn't want anyone else but you. Now she's making a fuss about breaking off the engagement. I say, why don't we just forget it?"

Qi Hanmu tapped the armrest with his slender knuckles, his eyes calm.

"Go upstairs first and talk to the old lady before we discuss it."

No one expected that the elevator going up was broken.

The manager kept apologizing, and Qi Hanmu had no choice but to climb the stairs with a pale face.
