The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 391

Lin Cheng returned home after dealing with the king.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Hanyue stride towards him from the front hall. Before Lin Cheng could think about why Qin Hanyue was so enthusiastic, he saw Qin Hanyue's gaze completely bypass him and look behind him. Not seeing the person he wanted to meet, his expression immediately changed.

He asked, "Where is Little Ying?"

Lin Cheng was puzzled.

He then learned that Qiao Ying, who was supposed to be home already, had not returned.

Qin Hanyue took out his cell phone and dialed Qiao Ying's number, but no one answered on the other end. Not knowing what was going on with Qiao Ying, Qin Hanyue did not rashly call again for the second time.

When Lin Cheng asked, the driver who sent Qiao Ying had not returned either.

Lin Cheng said, "Did she find out something?"

Qin Hanyue said, "Or did Lafeier find out something?"

Did Lafeier make a move against Qiao Ying?

Is he really J's man, or is he J himself?

Lin Cheng said, "The king asked me if Karina's face was related to her. Could it be the king..."

Lin Cheng said, "I will send someone to investigate immediately, don't worry."

It was natural that Lin Cheng would be efficient in finding someone in his own turf. By checking road surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts, he soon found out that Qiao Ying had been taken away by a group of unknown people.

Lin Cheng dispatched a large number of people to track them down along the way.

Needless to say, this must have been done by the royal family people.

The suspects were easy to identify. Either it was the king's party, including the king himself, who had been pestering him these past two days and refusing to leave, or it was Lafeier and his son, or Karina.

Lin Cheng began to worry, because no matter who it was, the outcome would be imaginable if Qiao Ying was taken away by them.

These were all people who wished Qiao Ying dead. Of course, if Lafeier and his son were really related to the dark side.

Lin Cheng said, "I should have arranged more people to follow her."

Lin Cheng wanted to reassure Qin Hanyue first, and was also ready to face Qin Hanyue's anger. But Qin Hanyue was surprisingly calm and composed, with no sign of anxiety or worry on his face, which really left Lin Cheng puzzled.

Lin Cheng suddenly remembered what Qin Hanyue had said yesterday: "You know nothing about her abilities."

He knew that Qiao Ying was skilled in martial arts and certainly not weak. She was brave and resourceful, decisive in her actions, and highly intelligent, otherwise he would not have sought out Qiao Ying from so far away to help.

But after all, Qiao Ying was a girl with slender arms and legs. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't possibly fight against multiple opponents alone when they were armed and she wasn't.

Lin Cheng asked, "Does Miss Qiao have a way to get out of danger?"

Qin Hanyue glanced at him but held back from speaking.

Of course, Lin Cheng, who had not yet witnessed Qiao Ying's formidable abilities, could not understand the meaning behind Qin Hanyue's glance.

Lin Cheng suddenly thought, "Can you locate her phone?"

Qin Hanyue: "Let me try."

Lin Cheng: "I'm going to see the king."

There were too many of the king's followers to investigate quickly. And without Qiao Ying's permission, he did not dare to act rashly against Lafeier's side either. So Lin Cheng decided to go to Karina and the king first to ask for Qiao Ying back.

Qin Hanyue said, "No hurry, wait for her a little longer."

Qin Hanyue then contacted Yue Ying and the others.

As long as it wasn't J, anyone else who went after Qiao Ying would only be seeking death. Even if they were J's people, with Qiao Ying's abilities, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

Although Qin Hanyue was worried about Qiao Ying, he was still far from panicking.

But the king's people came to visit at this moment.

It was the king's steward who came looking not for Lin Cheng, but for Qin Hanyue. The king wanted to invite Qin Hanyue to dinner.

Lin Cheng and Qin Hanyue looked at each other.

Could it be that the king's men had taken Qiao Ying away? The king took Lin Cheng away, leaving Qiao Ying to return home alone, then the accident happened, and now the king came to invite Qin Hanyue to dinner.

But if the king wanted to use Qiao Ying's personal safety as a threat, shouldn't he be looking for Lin Cheng instead? Why would he look for Qin Hanyue?

Or did the king already know Qiao Ying's identity?

Qin Hanyue was worried about Qiao Ying, but was still far from panicking.

He didn't follow immediately, but asked, "Does he have something to discuss with me?"

Steward: "Mr. Qin will know when he goes."

At this point, Lin Cheng asked, "Hasn't the king returned yet?"

Steward: "That's right."

Lin Cheng spoke casually as usual, as if nothing was wrong: "I just parted with the king. The king wants to invite Mr. Qin to dinner, why didn't he just ask me to relay it to Mr. Qin directly?"

Steward: "The king specifically sent me to show his respect for Mr. Qin and hopes that Mr. Qin will be gracious enough to attend."

Lin Cheng: "Where is it?"

The steward named a hotel and said, "Not far away."

Lin Cheng said, "This hotel has very good food. I don't know what to eat tonight anyway, so I'll just tag along for the meal. Let's go together."

But he was rejected by the steward: "Duke Lin is busy with work running around, it's tiring. Just tell me what the Duke wants to eat and I'll have it delivered."

Lin Cheng looked at Qin Hanyue.

Qin Hanyue didn't say anything, called Qin Yan, and walked out.

The steward only let Qin Hanyue enter the private room alone.

Qin Yan was stopped outside.

There was only one person in the private room, not the king, but Cara.

The king's dinner was suspicious. Qin Hanyue had thought it was because of Qiao Ying, but seeing Cara, he knew it wasn't.

Qin Hanyue really wanted to strangle the woman in front of him who had pestered him several times and was now impersonating the king to lure him here when she had nothing better to do. Qin Hanyue felt that even scolding her would be a waste of energy.

He immediately turned around to leave, but Cara's words made him stop in his tracks: "I want to talk to Mr. Qin about Miss Qiao."

Qiao Ying was taken to a private residence.

She had expected there would be some surprise, but seeing the black-veiled Karina, the trip had been in vain and Qiao Ying was annoyed enough to want to swear.

Karina said, "As long as you restore my face to its original appearance, I will give you Lin Cheng."

Qiao Ying opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't be bothered.

She really didn't want to waste her breath on this woman.

Seeing that Qiao Ying was ignoring her, Karina, who had been tortured and lived worse than death these past few days, instantly lost her patience.

"If you refuse a toast, you must drink a forfeit!"

She grabbed the gun from her underling and took two excited steps forward, pointing the gun at Qiao Ying's head, and said viciously:

"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't restore my face to its original appearance today, I'll definitely riddle you with bullets!"

However, neither her gun nor the underlings standing in the hall caused Qiao Ying to panic even a little bit. Qiao Ying heard her say lightly, "Do you even know how to use it? The safety is still on."

Karina was extremely angry. She ripped off the black veil on her face. Her face was even worse now, beyond recognition. Karina didn't even dare to look in the mirror now. She was desperate enough to want to die.

Of course, if she really wanted to die, she would definitely take Qiao Ying down with her.
