Chapter 105 going is suicide

Late at night...

Coming home to Scenery Garden, Qiao Hanye went straight to He Lanjin's room. He frowned upon finding the room empty. He anxiously checked his wristwatch for the time. "Why aren't you back yet, Ah Jin?"

Qiao Hanye took out his phone and dialed He Lanjin's number, only to find that it was turned off.

Qiao Hanye picked up his coat and hurriedly walked out of the house. Han Beicheng came trailing after him and asked, "Master, are you going out for something?"

"Yes," Qiao Hanye said in a low voice. Before he could get in his car, Qiao Hanye saw Nan Feng rushing back on his motorcycle. With a worried expression, Nan Feng said, "Young Master, there was a huge earthquake in the mountain area. Young Madam has set off with the rescuers."

"What?" Qiao Hanye's handsome face darkened slightly. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked straight at Nan Feng. "Who allowed her to go?"

Nan Feng was so scared that he started trembling. He stood in front of Qiao Hanye, ready to meet his death. "The incident happened suddenly. I was unable to stop her. I am begging Master to punish me."

Nan Feng was just outside the hospital, secretly guarding He Lanjin. When he noticed that she was taking too long, he went inside to ask Shanggun Zhi. Only then did Nan Feng learn that He Lanjin had gone. Nan Feng did not think much of it at first; he never expected that something bad would happen to her.

Knowing that he failed in watching over his master's young wife, Nan Feng hurried back to the Scenery Garden to punish himself.

"Young Master..." Nan Feng called after Qiao Hanye, who had only one thing in mind: protect He Lanjin. Han Beicheng followed Nan Feng's lead, saying, "Master, you can't go. We cannot stop disasters, especially natural ones. Going to the disaster area is like sending yourself to your death."

Hearing what Han Beicheng and Nan Feng had to say, Qiao Hanye stopped in his tracks.

"You must completely take down He Wenqing in three days' time. Make sure to send someone to keep an eye on his whereabouts."

"The plan for the Lu family remains unchanged. You must strictly crack down on their abnormal transactions."

Han Beicheng thought that Qiao Hanye stopped because he realized how foolish it was to follow He Lanjin. Han Beicheng did not know that Qiao Hanye stopped just to bark out orders for them to follow while he was gone. "Master," Han Beicheng said. "Don't forget our purpose for returning to Jiang City."

The blood feud involving the Qiao family had not been resolved yet. If something happened to Qiao Hanye before they could get their revenge, how would Han Beicheng explain it to the ancestors of the Qiao family?

"We will have our revenge," Qiao Hanye said. His voice was firm; his tone did not allow for questions. "But I, Qiao Hanye, am not so incompetent that I can't even save my own woman."

"I'll go with you, Master." Nan Feng said as he stepped forward.

Qiao Hanye shot Nan Feng and Han Beicheng a sharp look, "Both of you, stay."

"Master..." Han Beicheng watched Qiao Hanye disappear into the night. Nan Feng was going to follow secretly, but Han Beicheng pulled him back. Shaking his head, Han Beicheng said, "Master is not here. You and I must hold the fort for him. We can't not avenge the Qiao family."

Nan Feng clenched his fists as he stood rooted in his spot. After coming to a decision, Nan Feng pushed Han Beicheng away.

"I'll f*cking take revenge. But without the young master, what good will revenge bring?" Nan Feng turned around and chased after Qiao Hanye on his motorcycle.

Han Beicheng simmered with anger. He was not afraid of death, but he knew he could not be rash. He had to be on guard and defend what he and Qiao Hanye had worked for. He could not take even one misstep. A single mistake could ruin everything.

"Nan Feng, protect Master well." Han Beicheng said softly as he closed his eyes, trying to suppress the pain in his heart.

Han Beicheng was worried; what would he do if something bad happened to Qiao Hanye? But Han Beicheng was also hopeful that Qiao Hanye would surpass whatever issues he would encounter.

IN THE DISASTER AREA

Houses collapsed; electricity and water sources were cut off. The scene was both desolate and harrowing.

He Lanjin watched as the ground sank. She pushed Zhao Yuyi away.

"He Lanjin..." Zhao Yuyi muttered as He Lanjin pushed him away. He tried to look for her in the darkness, and his heart sank. He did not expect her to be stupid enough to risk her life in order to save him.

He Lanjin lost her balance and fell down...
