Return of the Celestial King

Xue Qingqing frowned and demanded,

"Well, go on and tell me. Why won’t you let me go?"

Ah Long shook his head, his face a mask of resignation, but he remained firm in not letting Xue Qingqing go to Hongshan.

He knew the entire area around Hongshan had descended into chaos, crawling with all sorts of shady characters. If anything happened to Xue Qingqing, he couldn’t possibly take the responsibility.

In response, Xue Qingqing gritted her teeth in frustration and insisted,

"I don’t care! I’m going to Hongshan to have some fun, and that’s final!"

Faced with Xue Qingqing’s stubbornness, Ah Long could only bow his head in defeat.

"Very well, Young Miss. But you must be extremely careful when you’re there!"

Ah Long said earnestly.

Xue Qingqing scoffed irritably.

"What’s there to be afraid of? You’re just making a fuss for no reason. I refuse to believe anything will happen!"

Xue Qingqing felt Ah Long was deliberately making things difficult for her and waved her hand dismissively, trying to shoo him away.

In the end, left with no choice, Ah Long was unceremoniously kicked out of the private room by Xue Qingqing.

However, standing at the door to the room, Ah Long thought for a moment before making a call.

"Send more men over to protect the Young Miss. She’s planning to go to Hongshan to have some fun..."

The only thing Ah Long could do was mobilize more men to ensure Xue Qingqing’s safety. He could only hope that nothing would go wrong.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Qin Tuo and Huang Junkai had finished their meal and were about to leave.

As they stepped outside the hotel, they saw a luxurious Bentley and several other high-end cars pull up one after another.

"Mr. Qin, look..."

Huang Junkai was taken aback, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the scene.

He soon realized it was Xue Qingqing’s escort.

They saw Xue Qingqing walk out of the hotel, head held high, with an air of arrogance.

She got directly into her own car, while her bodyguards and other staff boarded the vehicles in the convoy assigned to her protection.

"Mr. Qin, shall we go?"

Huang Junkai said with a nod.

As it happened, Qin Tuo and Huang Junkai ended up following behind the Xue Family’s convoy.

After following for a while, they were surprised to find they were on the same route as Xue Qingqing’s party.

Seeing this, Huang Junkai’s interest was piqued. He said with a grin,

"Mr. Qin, look! They’re taking the same route back to the hotel as us. Maybe we’ll end up staying in the same hotel as Superstar Xue?"

Qin Tuo nodded without saying much. The scale and pageantry of Xue Qingqing’s convoy gave him a clear sense of the Xue Family’s power.

Huang Junkai’s imagination, however, began to run wild. He muttered to himself,

"If we’re staying at the same hotel, maybe I’ll have a wonderful, romantic encounter with Miss Xue! Haha!"

Huang Junkai was practically drooling as he fantasized.

Seeing him like this, Qin Tuo shook his head with a helpless laugh.

As they approached an intersection, the convoy began to slow down.

But just then, a loud RUMBLING sound suddenly echoed from the distance!

A massive truck came speeding toward them, its approach so powerful it felt like an earthquake, making the very ground vibrate.

Huang Junkai was terrified by the sight!

He and Qin Tuo, following in their own car, could only watch in horror as the truck instantly flattened several of the luxury escort vehicles.

The Xue Family’s expensive cars were crushed into piles of scrap metal, and one could only imagine the fate of the people inside.

Moreover, the Bentley carrying Xue Qingqing was now trapped and unable to move.

"Mr. Qin, what’s happening?"

Inside their car, Huang Junkai’s face was a mask of terror. He had no idea what was going on.

Qin Tuo, however, narrowed his eyes, observing the scene intently.

"Don’t make any sudden moves. Let’s see how this plays out,"

Qin Tuo said in a low voice.

Huang Junkai nodded, but he was incredibly tense.

Suddenly, several vans appeared, completely surrounding the Bentley.

Then, a large group of stone-faced assassins poured out of the vans!

Their eyes were cold and their movements were swift. They rushed forward and immediately engaged Xue Qingqing’s personal bodyguards.

The head bodyguard, Ah Long, roared in fury, his eyes turning bloodshot.

The bodyguards clashed violently with the assassins!

"Young Miss, get out of here!"

Ah Long yelled as he shielded Xue Qingqing, forcing her backward. He was already covered in wounds.

Soon, all the bodyguards had been dispatched by the assassins. Ah Long fell into a pool of his own blood, his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

Xue Qingqing was pale with fright, her lips trembling. She stood frozen to the spot, too terrified to move.

A group of assassins smirked and began to slowly walk toward her.

"Miss Xue the Elder, our apologies. We’ll have to ask you to take a trip with us."

One of the assassins sneered, and they prepared to carry Xue Qingqing away.

Xue Qingqing let out a terrified scream, her entire body trembling.

Hearing her scream, the assassins, fearing they would attract unwanted attention, produced a cloud of pink smoke from their sleeves.

Xue Qingqing’s eyes rolled back into her head, and she collapsed, unconscious.

"Hurry up! Before the Xue Family’s people catch up!"

The lead assassin ordered with a wave of his hand.

Several assassins immediately lifted Xue Qingqing up, preparing to load her into the van and make a quick getaway.

But just then, a cold voice suddenly sounded nearby.

"Put her down."

Hearing the voice, the assassins turned and saw Qin Tuo slowly approaching.

Seeing Qin Tuo actually intervene, Huang Junkai was so scared he didn’t dare to breathe. He stayed hidden in the car, afraid to follow, silently praying that nothing would happen to Qin Tuo.

"Who the hell are you, kid? Meddling in our business? You got a death wish?"

one of the assassins cursed and walked over, ready to end Qin Tuo’s life.

However, Qin Tuo directly grabbed the assassin by the neck. With a slow application of force, the assassin’s neck snapped, and he died on the spot.

This brutal display stunned the other assassins!

Recovering from their shock, the assassins roared and charged at Qin Tuo.

With a swift flurry of movements, Qin Tuo insta-killed every single one of the assassins.

After finishing off the assassins, Qin Tuo looked at the unconscious Xue Qingqing and frowned.

Without a word, Qin Tuo slung Xue Qingqing over his shoulder and carried her back to the car.

"Let’s go. To the hotel."

Qin Tuo said, his expression blank.

Utterly shaken, Huang Junkai could only nod, driving back to the hotel with trembling hands.

Back in their hotel suite, Qin Tuo carefully placed Xue Qingqing on the bed and checked her condition.
