Chapter 374 Less Than Half a Life (shuhaige.net)



Finally, Qi Jiu looked at Kesen, who was pinned to the ground by her calf, and smiled. "Are you alright?"

She has changed not only in Kesen's memory, but also in everyone's hearts.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the surrounding area.

It turned out that at some point, everyone in the training ground had gathered around to watch this extremely exciting match.

What amazed them most was Qi Jiu's skill.

It's no secret in the Delin family that Kesen is a mercenary, but the fact that he can pin someone to the ground and beat them in just a few minutes speaks volumes about his skill.

"Of course it's okay, your second brother is tough and thick-skinned, taking a beating is no problem." Kesen stood up from the ground, rubbed some spots on his body, and grimaced in pain in an instant.

"Little sister, I have to say, you're pretty ruthless. Where did you learn that from? But now I'm relieved, at least I won't be bullied anymore."

Qi Jiu smiled. "Shall we continue?"

"No, no..." Kesen refused quickly, even using both hands.

I don’t know when it started, but the Delin family has been praising Qi Jiu to the skies.

'Our heir not only knows arms tycoons, but also bigwigs in the business world; now he could kill a bull with a single punch!'

"Just kidding, I'm telling you, never mess with our heir. When she gets angry, she'll even beat up her second brother. She's terrifying!"

Qi Jiu, who heard the faint sound of the wind, was speechless.

Actually, sometimes, not everything you hear is true...

"Miss, are we... really capable of providing protection?"

Mengling and Xilin stood side by side, looking at Qijiu with some suspicion on their faces.

They were guards, and it should have been them who did the killing, but who would have thought that their young lady would have such great abilities?

"Yes, they can also serve as errand runners. It's alright, having you guys around is always useful." Lin Yan waved his hand naturally, as if he had long been used to it.

Mengling and Xilin: "..."

At dinner time, Qi Jiu had just picked up her chopsticks when she felt an intensely burning gaze upon her.

"...Third sister, is there food on my face?"

Why are you not eating and just staring at her?

Rongman smiled and put down her chopsticks. "Qiqi, I heard you're even better at fighting than Second Brother?"

Kesen, who had just picked up a piece of meat: "..."

Good things don't get out easily, but shameful things spread like wildfire!

The girl was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a question, and smiled. "For now, I guess so."

Lin Yan, who heard everything: "..." Are you kidding me? There are very few people in the world who can beat her, okay?

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Rongman's eyes visibly brightened. "Could you teach me some self-defense techniques? I often go out to negotiate contracts, and I might run into some trouble. Even last time, I had to trouble you to save me."

Her smile seemed forced, but Qi Jiu nodded. "Okay."

It's good to learn more things; having more skills is never a bad thing.

Although the incident last time wasn't her fault, she was still the one who was threatened.

At night, Qi Jiu watched the video call that Qi Silin had initiated, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she tapped the answer button.

"Ah Lin?"

This time, it wasn't Chongyu anymore. Seeing that somewhat longing face, the little girl's lips had already started to curve upwards without her noticing.

I've been so busy lately. Aside from exchanging a few words with him each day, it seems like I haven't had any other activities.

How have you been lately? Have many things been resolved?

"The Delin family is only now getting on the right track." As she spoke, the girl licked her back teeth with the tip of her tongue, looking at the handsome face on the screen.

"Ah Lin, are you in the organization?"

The man paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I've come to take a look. There are some things I feel more at ease doing myself."

"Has something happened to the organization?" the girl asked with a smile.

Qi Silin smiled, "No, we just came to visit casually. After all, we can't always be a hands-off manager; there are many things they can't decide on."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu nodded. "That makes sense."

The video call lasted only about twenty minutes, and during that time, no matter how Qi Jiu asked, the other person remained tight-lipped.

After hanging up the video call, the girl squinted at the now-off phone screen.

What on earth happened that you're hiding it like this? She's been trying so hard to subtly probe, could it be that this guy figured it out?

Looking at the clock hanging on the study wall, Qi Jiu put down what she was holding and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped.

She turned around abruptly to look at the window, her hand reaching up to her waist, and slowly walked towards the window.

As the window opened, the stench of blood intensified. Shifting her gaze, she seemed to see something, climbed onto the windowsill, and disappeared into the night.

Inside the medical room.

"Bai Feng? Bai Feng!"

Qi Jiu, panting, gently placed the person on the bed, and saw that the red blood quickly stained the sheets.

Bai Feng was already unconscious, his body covered in blood, a sight that was truly gruesome.

"Bai Feng? Can you hear me? Bai Feng!"

Qi Jiu frowned as she looked at the unconscious person on the bed and sighed.

At first, I thought it was someone else who had come, but I never expected it to be this guy who came back with less than half a life left.

When I saw him, he was already lying on the path behind the study, his clothes were stained red with blood, and he was enveloped in the smell of blood.

If she hadn't seen him, he probably would have died on the way.

The person on the bed did not answer. Bai Feng's messy hair fell across his forehead, and his face was already bloodless.

"What are you standing there for? Help!"

The doctor from the Delin family, who was standing nearby, was brought back to his senses by her angry shout and came over with medical supplies.

"I don't want anyone else to know about what happened to you today, except for the people here, understand?" The girl's gaze slowly swept over them. "Understood?"

Bai Feng's identity was already suspicious, and now he's back barely alive. What are people going to think?

"Miss, I understand."

"Understood, don't worry, Miss."

Already highly experienced doctors in the family, the group worked together seamlessly, using their tools to treat Bai Feng's wounds.

As basins of bloody water were carried out, Lin Yan, who had just arrived, realized something was wrong. "Bai Feng, what's going on..."

"Did you bring the medicinal herbs I asked you to bring?"
