Chapter 354: Just Who Is It?

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Just Who Is It?

As luck would have it, just as Qin Tianxuan and his group arrived, they saw several people suspiciously carrying a girl covered in blood.

The girl looked like she wasn’t going to make it, yet they were still carrying her, about to throw her into a car.

Qin Tianxuan immediately ordered Lingsu to stop them.

After stopping them, Lingsu saw the girl was in critical condition. She immediately detained the men from the Hua Family and administered first aid to the victim on the spot.

"Sir, her external injuries are severe. Luckily, she didn’t hit her head, so she’ll live, but she needs to get to a hospital immediately!"

Qin Tianxuan nodded. "Contact the Celestial Medicine Hall and have Qingzhi handle this. Why would a girl so young jump from a building?"

The hotel manager, who worked for the Hua Family, was paralyzed with fear. Trembling, he explained what had happened.

The heavily injured girl on the ground, her mouth full of blood, was trying to say something with trembling lips.

Lingsu leaned in, straining to hear.

Her face flushed with anger as she quickly took out her phone and started recording.

After the girl was sent to the hospital, Lingsu walked over, clutching her phone. "It was the Second Young Master Hua. He tried to force himself on her, right here. She jumped from the building to get away from him! That bastard! This isn’t over!"

Lingsu’s voice was strained with fury. She despised this kind of crime more than anything, and with her quick thinking, she had recorded the statement, effectively securing evidence.

Qin Tianxuan listened in silence, then gently patted her shoulder. "I will get justice for that girl."

He stared silently at the Hua Family’s hotel, his gaze turning sharp and cold.

’Is this Second Young Master Hua really that brazen?’

Just then, Hua Zhaoxing and Yan Xinyue’s car pulled up.

When the couple got out and saw the scene, then heard Lingsu’s account, they both gritted their teeth in anger.

"The Second Young Master Hua is a piece of trash!" Yan Xinyue said, her face pale. "He was even worse before. He thought his family’s money meant he could get away with anything. I can’t believe even a prison sentence didn’t straighten him out."

A glint appeared in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. "Have the Intelligence Hall find out which prison this Second Young Master Hua was in and how he got out."

It was an easy thing to investigate.

Venerable Yuan of the Intelligence Hall reported back quickly. "Second Young Master Hua was sentenced to twenty years in Shangdu Liushan Prison. His sentence was reduced six times for ’major meritorious service’... The one pulling the strings was Yang Shaoqing, the Deputy Minister of Supervision in Shangdu!"

"Yang Shaoqing!" Hua Zhaoxing was stunned. "That’s my cousin! He’s visited the Hua Family several times recently. I can’t believe he was the one behind this!"

The situation was all too clear.

Minister Yang had taken bribes from the Hua Family and pulled strings to get the Second Young Master Hua released.

"Hmph! Is Yang Shaoqing attending the banquet tonight?" Qin Tianxuan asked bluntly.

Hua Zhaoxing nodded. "He’s third on the VIP list. The top two spots are held by people from the Imperial Capital Qin Family and the Ye Family."

With a flash in his eyes and a flick of his wrist, a military dagger appeared in Qin Tianxuan’s hand.

He slowly wiped the gleaming dagger before handing it to Lingsu. "I’ve seen plenty of despicable young masters in my time. There’s only one way to deal with trash like this: see one, eliminate one. Handle it as you see fit. You don’t need to wait for my order."

Lingsu accepted the dagger, her expression solemn, her gaze terrifyingly cold.

The injured girl was already on her way to Gu Qingzhi. Just as Qin Tianxuan turned to enter the hotel, his phone buzzed.

It was a call from Han Biwei.

Things had been awkward between him and Weiwei ever since their last heart-to-heart.

The two had barely spoken.

Qin Tianxuan answered the call.

"Weiwei, is something wrong?"

"Brother Qin, there’s something I should have told you, but Niannian wouldn’t let me. She wanted it to be a surprise."

The moment he heard his daughter’s name, Qin Tianxuan’s heart filled with joy. "What is it? Did Niannian get first place on a test? Or did her teacher praise her?"

"It’s not that. Niannian and I... we’re already in Shangdu..."

Huh?

Qin Tianxuan was stunned. "Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I haven’t made any arrangements."

"Brother Qin, don’t panic. It’s a bit complicated. Niannian came to Shangdu on a mission. She’s here representing the Imperial Capital!"

Qin Tianxuan’s mind raced as a thought immediately struck him.

The Emperor had said he would send a Captain to Shangdu to deal with him.

That’s why everyone in Shangdu knew a powerful dignitary from the Imperial Capital had arrived!

And at the birthday banquet, the Emperor had granted Niannian the title of Captain of the Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall.

’Could it be?’

’The powerful dignitary from the Imperial Capital sent to deal with me... is Niannian!’

Qin Tianxuan felt his head was about to explode.

It sounded ridiculous, but the Emperor was exactly the kind of person who would do something like this.

"Venerable Yuan, use all of the Intelligence Hall’s resources! Find out for me right now exactly which dignitary from the Imperial Capital has come to Shangdu!"

"Yes, sir!"

Venerable Yuan dared not delay and began investigating at once.

"Reporting, sir! The dignitary from the Imperial Capital has a mysterious identity; we can’t find any leads. However, we... we discovered that Madam Weiwei is part of the dignitary’s entourage!"

Qin Tianxuan was utterly speechless.

’Looks like I guessed right.’

Just then, Weiwei called again.

Qin Tianxuan answered, annoyed.

"Oh, by the way, there’s something else... Niannian made a new friend, who came along with us."

Qin Tianxuan rubbed his forehead. "Making friends is perfectly normal, isn’t it? There’s a child here in Shangdu named Hua Hua who has been wanting to meet our daughter."

"Well..." Han Biwei stammered, "Niannian’s new friend is a boy. He’s a few years older, like a big brother to her, and he treats her very well."

What?

Qin Tianxuan exploded. "A boy?"

’She’s just a little girl! And she already has a... a boyfriend?’

Hanging up, his eyes turned sharp. "Let’s go. Finish up here, quickly. Deal with this Hua Family trash. I need to see the people from the Imperial Capital at once!"
