"Qin Fang..."

Chu Yunxuan looked at Qin Fang's face, which had a somewhat somber expression, and gently took hold of his arm. She softly called out to comfort him, her voice very soothing.

"I'm fine..."

Qin Fang shook his head, "Yunxuan, you go to the Jin Cheng Salon to rest. I'll be back soon!"

"But..."

Chu Yunxuan wanted to say something more, but Qin Fang did not give her the chance to continue.

"There are some things I don't know how to explain to you. You just need to know that I have my reasons for needing to do this..."

Chu Yunxuan absolutely trusted Qin Fang and she was aware of most of the things going on in his life. Yet, she felt that Qin Fang was acting exceptionally strange about this matter, and that was what worried her the most.

However, since Qin Fang had spoken in such a way, Chu Yunxuan didn't insist. She knew Qin Fang's combat capabilities; she even knew he had killed people before and, as he always carried a gun, she assumed he shouldn't have any safety issues. With this thought, her mind was somewhat at ease.

"Go ahead, be careful... I'll wait for your return!"

Chu Yunxuan nodded and softly agreed, but from her tone, it was not hard to detect her attachment and concern for Qin Fang.

"I'll be back soon... Brother Li, take care of this young man for me!"

Qin Fang consoled Chu Yunxuan for a moment and then called out to Li Yang. Given Ye Ming's current state wasn't too good, and Qin Fang had to go on a rescue mission, he naturally had to leave Ye Ming in their care.

"Qin Fang, what is this..."

They all found it strange. Even though the situation was related to Qin Fang, there was no clue at present. Anxiety wouldn't help Qin Fang, yet he seemed as if he had some lead.

"There's no time left, I'll explain after I've rescued the person..."

Just then, Shen Liang drove up, and Qin Fang immediately got into the car. The two of them swiftly sped off.

If it was a mission, there naturally would be some hints; otherwise, Qin Fang wouldn't have been able to get to the scene so quickly.

"Young Master Qin, which direction should we pursue?"

Shen Liang was the most trusted person Qin Fang had placed in the shadows. He used to be a special forces soldier in the Jincheng Military Region Special Combat Squadron, and though he had retired, he was still very familiar with Jincheng.

But now, amidst the vast sea of people and without any clues, they couldn't just wander around aimlessly hoping to find the target. That would be practically impossible.

"That way!"

Qin Fang lifted his head, looked towards the direction indicated by an arrow marker visible only to him, and pointed it out.

The subject of that marker was Ye Huan!

However, Qin Fang only knew a rough location. As for her exact position in that direction, they could only rely on gradual search.

This to and fro search would certainly take a lot of time, and it was this delay that created the window where Ye Huan was most likely to be harmed.

If Qin Fang was fast enough, he could find and rescue her in time, and Ye Huan might be completely unharmed.

Conversely, if Qin Fang took too much time, the danger to Ye Huan would increase. By the time he might find the place tomorrow, there might not even be a body left.

So right now, Qin Fang was racing against time!

And this time was indeed not plentiful...

...

At an abandoned factory area on the outskirts of Jincheng.

The gate was firmly locked, and there were few lights inside the factory, just a few dim glows that did not reveal any signs of activity.

In a workshop deep within the factory, however, the lights flickered. Not far away, a black Hummer with no license plates could be seen parked— unmistakably the vehicle used to abduct Ye Huan.

The lights inside the workshop were on, and its furnishings were quite simple, just a straightforward table and several chairs. A few men leaned against the table, one of whom was Xishu's foremost Young Master Miao Junfeng.

Standing around him were several men he had summoned, including his confidant Zatai.

In the middle of the workshop was a chair, and on that chair sat someone—a woman!

This woman's hands were bound, and the rope extended upwards, hanging from the nearly ten-meter-high steel beam. One end of the rope lay near Miao Junfeng.

Of course, this woman was no other than Ye Huan, whom they had kidnapped. She was renowned for her exceptional combat skills and her beauty as Xishu's number one Fairy-like beauty.

But now...

Her hands and feet were tied, her mouth was sealed with tape, her head was tilted to one side, and it looked like she had not yet regained consciousness. Her dress was crumpled, but thankfully it was still relatively intact, with no torn areas.

Pff~~

Miao Junfeng gestured with a big hand, and one of the men in black approached Ye Huan with a bucket of water. Without hesitation, he doused her with the cold water from the bucket.

The current weather had already entered late autumn, nearing winter. Although the temperature in Jincheng was not particularly cold, it was definitely not high at night.

In such a spacious and draughty workshop, it was already quite chilly. Now, with a bucket of cold water poured over her, Ye Huan, who was lightly dressed, was sharply awakened by the cold.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her mind gradually cleared. She still hadn't figured out what had happened, only remembering that she seemed to have been in a car accident.
