Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Exposed Tracks

"Who’s come so early?"

Song Yan smiled as she got up and walked over to open the door.

A disheveled figure appeared, a woman who looked to be in her late twenties, with shoulder-length short hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her face, with exceptionally distinctive features.

Even Song Yan, a great beauty in her own right, found her stunning, and she couldn’t help but think of Gao Qilan, the cool older sister character she was currently obsessed with in the drama ’Raging Speed’.

However, the woman before her had somewhat messy hair and bloodstains on her clothes, looking utterly distressed.

"Who are you?"

Song Yan felt the woman looked familiar, but couldn’t quite place her at the moment.

The other party didn’t answer but asked anxiously, "Is Mr. Qin here?"

At the sound of her voice, Qin Chuan stood up and walked over.

Upon seeing the woman, he too was surprised, "Miss Murong, what happened to you?"

"Mr. Qin!"

Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Murong Mingyue seemed to let go of all the pressure bearing down on her, and tears poured from her eyes.

But just after she called out for Mr. Qin, she stumbled and fell. Song Yan quickly caught her.

Murong Mingyue said weakly, "Save... save my grandfather..."

These were her last words before she fainted.

"She’s the business queen from one of the Nine Gates of Yandu, the Murong Family — Murong Mingyue!"

Song Yan suddenly recalled Murong Mingyue’s identity and was completely stunned.

It was her first time meeting the real Murong Mingyue, having only seen her in business magazines before.

Before falling unconscious, Murong Mingyue had been pleading for Qin Chuan to save her grandfather, who was none other than the Family Head of the Murong Family, Murong Fu.

Could it be that Murong Fu’s life was in immediate danger?

Thinking of this, Song Yan’s heart shook even more. Murong Fu was a top figure in Yandu; why would he need Qin Chuan’s help?

In the midst of Song Yan’s astonishment, Qin Chuan had already carried Murong Mingyue to the sofa.

After a quick examination, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and inserted an elixir into Murong Mingyue’s mouth.

Just the day before, the Kunlun Divine Poison had erupted, and the Qingxuan Spirit Qi in his Dantian had been exhausted; otherwise, just a thread of Qingxuan Spirit Qi would have been enough to bring Murong Mingyue back to consciousness immediately.

"Qin Chuan, what happened to Murong Mingyue?"

Seeing Qin Chuan stop the treatment, Xiao Mengyi asked.

Qin Chuan said, "She has suffered internal injuries, but they are not severe. She just has been so tense, and her body is overly exhausted, which led to her fainting. She should be waking up soon."

Indeed, no sooner had he finished speaking than Murong Mingyue opened her eyes, seemingly with a headache; she frowned and rubbed her temples.

Qin Chuan asked, "Miss Murong, what happened? Where is your grandfather now?"

Murong Mingyue finally regained her senses and immediately became frantic, abruptly grabbing Qin Chuan’s arm and speaking emotionally, "We were ambushed on our way to see you. My grandfather desperately held off the assassin so I could find you. Qin Chuan, please, can you hurry and save my grandfather?"

Her tears flowed like a flood breaching a dam, covering her face.

Qin Chuan’s brows furrowed. He hadn’t expected Murong Fu to be the target of an assassination in Jiangcheng City. Any assassin daring to target him must have come from Yandu.

Qin Chuan stood up and said, "Take me to where you were attacked right now."

"Yes, yes, I’ll take you there now!"

Murong Mingyue stood up and ran towards the outside; she had brought her grandfather to Jiangcheng City, and if he were to die there, she would be wracked with guilt for the rest of her life.

On their way to where they had been ambushed, Qin Chuan asked, "Your grandfather came to Jiangcheng City without bringing any strong fighters with him?"

Murong Mingyue’s eyes were red as she drove the car and replied, "Grandfather secretly followed me to Jiangcheng City. To prevent the news from leaking, he only brought one bodyguard and a personal doctor, and also Master Feng."

No wonder they had arrived so early; they had come in secret.

Qin Chuan frowned, since they had come covertly, it meant their whereabouts were meant to be confidential.

Yet they were still ambushed as soon as they arrived in Jiangcheng City, which meant there was only one possibility: their whereabouts had been leaked before they came to Jiangcheng City.

Qin Chuan asked again, "Besides the people who came to Jiangcheng City, did anyone else know about your plan to come here?"

Murong Mingyue said, "It was Lu Yaozong Grandpa who persuaded my grandfather to come to Jiangcheng City, so he knew as well."

Qin Chuan didn’t say anything more.

Lu Yaozong and Murong Fu were close friends, so it seemed unlikely that he would reveal Murong Fu’s movements.

And it was certain that Murong Mingyue wouldn’t have revealed them either.

That left Murong Fu’s personal doctor, the bodyguard, and Master Feng.

The likelihood of Master Feng leaking the whereabouts was slim as well, which made the personal doctor and bodyguard the prime suspects.

Of course, all of these were just his own speculations, and he didn’t say them out loud.

The urgent matter at hand was to save Murong Fu; in order to ask for his help, Murong Mingyue had given him a Shen Nongding that could enhance the efficiency and success rate of elixir refinement.

"Screech~"

Just then, Murong Mingyue suddenly hit the brakes and stopped in the middle of the road.

"What, what happened? Why is it gone?"

Murong Mingyue’s face was filled with panic, tears uncontrollably streaming down as she excitedly said, "This is where we were ambushed. How can Grandfather be gone?"

"Qin Chuan, could something have happened to Grandfather?"

"But if something happened, why is there no sign of him?"

Qin Chuan commanded, "Calm down first!"

Suddenly, he grabbed Murong Mingyue’s hand, circulated the Great Mysterious True Scripture, and gently infused a stream of soft energy into her body.

Murong Mingyue’s emotions finally stabilized a little. Wiping her tears and with reddened eyes, she said, "You must have a way to find my grandfather, right?"

Qin Chuan didn’t answer but got out of the car to check the surroundings.

Suddenly, he looked at Murong Mingyue and said, "Relax, your grandfather is still alive, just..."

"Grandfather is still alive, that’s wonderful!"

Murong Mingyue was immediately overjoyed. Although she didn’t understand how Qin Chuan had concluded this, she had blind trust in him.

Qin Chuan continued, "Don’t get too excited just yet, your grandfather is indeed alive, but the situation is not promising. He must have suffered a mortal injury, and if he does not receive timely treatment, he won’t survive the night!"

"What?"

The overjoyed Murong Mingyue’s mood plummeted in an instant.

"You don’t need to worry too much, as long as he still breathes, I can save him."

Qin Chuan then said, "Now contact Master Feng immediately. He might be with your grandfather. Once we find your grandfather, not even the King of Hell will be able to take him away!"

Qin Chuan’s words enlightened Murong Mingyue—finding her grandfather was most important. Thinking about how she had lost her composure due to panic earlier, she wished she could slap herself.

"Mr. Qin, thank you!"

Murong Mingyue said gratefully, then quickly dialed Master Feng’s number.
