Chapter 202: Carrying Me Away

Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Carrying Me Away

Third Uncle Luo was in despair.

He didn’t even need to look at the evidence. He knew exactly what Luo Tianying had done.

He didn’t care that those things had been done. The problem—the real problem—was getting caught!

Now, Third Uncle Luo finally understood. "Qin, you’re ruthless. You knew Luo Tianying’s every move but deliberately chose not to stop him, hiding in the background to gather evidence. You... you’re too venomous!"

Standard procedure, that’s all.

Qin Tianxuan glanced at Luo Tianying, who was still sprawled on the floor. "You still don’t understand the truth about that medical book, do you?"

The medical book!

The medical book Qin Tianxuan had traded for Gu Qingzhi!

The formulas inside... could it be?

It was all a trap!

Luo Tianying clutched his head. "It... it was fake!"

"Those are your words, not mine. I never said it was fake. However, I *do* know a thing or two about the Moonlight Celestial Cyan Grass!"

Qin Tianxuan leaned over the young master of the Luo Family. "Let me put it this way for you. That grass? It’s everywhere in the Longshou Hill Secret Realm, out in the Northern Domain’s deserts. It’s a common weed that only camels will eat. If I wanted, I could casually round up thousands of cartloads for you in the Northern Domain!"

With a choked cry, Luo Tianying felt his entire body go numb, as if paralyzed.

An interlocking scheme!

What a masterful, interlocking scheme!

He had been completely and thoroughly outmaneuvered from the very beginning.

For that damned weed, he had blown through all of Linghai Pharmaceutical’s liquid capital.

From that moment on, he had well and truly lost.

’But what can I do now?’

’Fight Qin Tianxuan to the death?’

The moment he thought of the man’s true identity, Luo Tianying trembled in fear. ’Fight to the death? I’ll be thanking my lucky stars if I can just walk out of here alive.’

The Northern Domain War God!

The one and only Night Emperor!

’How did I ever manage to provoke him?’

Luo Tianying could only lower his head and meekly admit his guilt.

But then, Qin Tianxuan pointed to the door. "You can all get the hell out."

Huh?

’He’s... he’s letting me go just like that?’

Overcome with ecstasy, Luo Tianying didn’t even spare a thought for his uncle. He pushed himself up and scrambled for the exit!

Third Uncle Luo and his group of battered subordinates watched Luo Tianying flee, a bitter taste in all their mouths.

"That bastard is a complete waste! But it doesn’t matter! Our Luo Family still has a true young master—the Qilin War General!"

Gritting his teeth, Third Uncle Luo walked out of the Shengtian Grand Hotel and immediately called the Patriarch!

"Brother, we can’t let Luo Tianying continue. We have to deal with him, and quickly. He still holds shares in the family fund! This time, he’s dragged the entire family down with him!"

Outside, the Luo Family was already in complete chaos.

The moment Third Uncle Luo returned to the villa, he ordered a full-scale search. They had to find that idiot Luo Tianying immediately!

Meanwhile, back at the Shengtian Hotel, the lobby had been completely cleaned, and workers were already beginning to repair the windows.

Qin Tianxuan was having a bite to eat, looking across at the infatuated expression on Ye Xuanxuan’s face.

Ye Xuanxuan blinked her wide eyes. "Brother Tianxuan, who are you, really? These men are all subordinates of the Night Emperor, right? Does that mean you’re close with the Night Emperor, too?"

The title "Night Emperor Celestial Profound" was known only to a select few high-ranking individuals, such as those in the Celestial Hall.

There were far too many legends about the Night Emperor that came from the Northern Domain Battle Department.

So many, in fact, that it was hard to tell truth from fiction.

Originally, it was to protect the commanders of the various war domains that the Imperial Capital’s high command forbade any leaks of information concerning War Generals.

This only made the Night Emperor’s identity all the more mysterious.

But from the look on Ye Xuanxuan’s face, she seemed to have guessed something.

Qin Tianxuan shook his head. "Some things are better left unknown. What are your plans now?"

Plans?

Now that her engagement was broken, Ye Xuanxuan felt a weight lift from her shoulders. "I can’t go back to the Ye Family; they’d beat me half to death if I did. I want to stay with you, brother-in-law. Besides, don’t you need someone to take care of you?"

Qin Tianxuan knew she would keep pestering him, so he simply gestured to one of his men. "Prepare a private jet for Xuanxuan. It’ll be my gift to her. She can go wherever she pleases. Also, arrange for a team of female bodyguards to accompany her."

Wow!

He was gifting her a private jet just like that.

Even the great Miss Ye herself was stunned.

But she shook her head, refusing to yield. "I want to stay with you. Isn’t that woman you’re seeing sick? I can take care of you."

She was referring to the comatose Han Biwei.

Qin Tianxuan was starting to get a headache.

Ye Xuanxuan scooted closer. "Besides, I haven’t even met Niannian yet. I’m her aunt, after all."

Qin Tianxuan just shook his head, saying nothing.

Once he made a decision, he rarely changed it.

Just then, a subordinate came to report. "The car for Miss Ye will be here shortly. The private jet is a deluxe Gulfstream model, already prepped at the airport. We can arrange a flight plan at any time. The Marquis himself selected the crew."

The arrangements were far too thorough, far too complete.

Ye Xuanxuan no longer had any reason to refuse.

She bit her lip. At that moment, she felt that gold, silver, jewels, planes, and yachts—none of it mattered. Even if gold and diamonds were piled high before her, they couldn’t compare to this man.

Looking thoroughly dejected, Ye Xuanxuan stood up and went to a lounge in the back to change her clothes.

When she emerged again with her bag slung over her shoulder, the rims of her eyes were red. "Fine, I’ll go. But I have one last request!"

Qin Tianxuan sighed. "Name it."

"I want you to carry me out on your back." Ye Xuanxuan’s request caught him off guard.

"Is that really necessary? The car is just down the street. We can walk," Qin Tianxuan said, shaking his head.

The light in Ye Xuanxuan’s eyes dimmed. "You won’t even grant me this one little request?"

In truth, Qin Tianxuan found it impossible to refuse her.

Especially the hurt, pleading look on Xuanxuan’s face—it always reminded him of his lost Shuanghua.

He bent over, squatted down, and picked up a nearby napkin. Then, he took hold of Xuanxuan’s foot.

Her feet were dirty from walking downstairs barefoot.

Qin Tianxuan gently wiped her feet clean, personally putting her shoes on for her. Then he rose and bent his back toward her. "Come on. I’ll carry you out."
