Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Qin Lan’s Brother’s Trouble

"You don’t need to ask anymore, I won’t tell you anything."

The woman’s face showed determination, and after speaking, she turned and ran.

Despite her serious injuries at that moment, her speed was still as fast as a fleeing rabbit. With a few bounding leaps, she quickly fled into the distance.

However, as fast as she was, someone was even faster!

Ye Xuan’s figure flashed, turning into an arrow shot forth, instantly reaching right behind the woman.

Bang!

A kick as powerful as an iron rod swept out, blurring into a faint afterimage, harshly striking the woman’s back.

With a ’crack’ sound, this powerful kick inflicted devastating damage to the woman’s spine, flinging her body sideways!

The woman flew like a burst sack for over a dozen meters, crashing heavily into a red brick wall, smashing the wall apart, collapsing the derelict brick structure, and sending broken bricks tumbling down, all falling onto the woman.

Puh!

She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling as if all her bones were shattered, her expression feeble as she curled up on the ground, unable to get up again.

"You really are pathetic! I didn’t even put in much effort, and you’re already down."

Ye Xuan strolled leisurely towards the woman, step by step closing in.

"Falling into your hands today, just give me a quick end."

The woman’s expression was surprisingly calm, panic fading from her face as she quietly awaited death.

"Heh, wanting to die is easy, but hoping for a quick death isn’t so simple."

A smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face, as he said indifferently, "The same offer stands, answer my questions honestly, and I can grant you a quick end."

"Give it up, even in death I won’t tell you."

The woman said through gritted teeth, displaying great backbone.

"Is that so? I hope you can keep up that tough act later."

The corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth lifted slightly, showing an indefinable sense of wicked charm.

Three minutes later.

A piercing scream resonated through the abandoned factory site!

The voice carried immense pain and a hint of relief.

Bang!

Casually tossing aside the dead body, a figure in the dark night gradually became clear.

One could see Ye Xuan standing there, slightly frowning:

"Shadow Killing Organization? Yan Country’s top assassin training camp... Who would have thought that even the assassin organization would get involved, this is getting more and more interesting."

...

Meanwhile, in a hospital room, a secret call was taking place.

"Young Master, the mission has failed!"

"Increase the level, use an assassin of the same caliber as those used against Dragon Soul members, I must have him dead!" The Young Master’s tone was ice-cold.

"Yes!"

...

Ye Xuan was driving his car, rushing back home.

Dinglingling!

At that moment, a ringtone sounded, he looked at the phone and saw it was Qin Lan calling.

Ye Xuan answered the call, and Qin Lan’s anxious voice came through, "Ye Xuan, have you come back?"

"I’m on my way back; what’s wrong?" Ye Xuan was puzzled.

Ever since the ambiguous incident in the office, Qin Lan had maintained a distant attitude towards him! He couldn’t tell if she was shy or just feeling awkward, but she hardly spoke a few words to him all day.

Today, she actually took the initiative to call him and was so eager for him to come back—could it be that this woman finally couldn’t stand the loneliness and wanted to do "that" with him?

The thought alone made Ye Xuan’s heart race with excitement...

However, Qin Lan’s next sentence wiped the smile off Ye Xuan’s face and even turned his expression somewhat dark.

"Ye Xuan, the money you lent me last time is all gone, and I was hoping to borrow some more from you..."

Qin Lan hesitated, her tone filled with apology and guilt, as well as pain and helplessness.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan furrowed his brow. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to give money, but he instinctively felt that this was not a simple matter.

Five hundred thousand was not a small amount for Qin Lan. How could she have spent it all so quickly?

Even after paying off her brother’s gambling debts, there should have been two hundred thousand left!

Qin Lan was not a woman who spent money like water. As to where the money went, Ye Xuan could guess just by giving it a little thought.

"Is it because of your brother?" Ye Xuan asked in a heavy voice.

"Yes... Ye Xuan, I’m really scared right now... Can you come back quickly?"

Qin Lan’s voice trembled, a tone filled with pain.

"Don’t panic! I’m rushing back right now."

Ye Xuan sensed that something must have happened; otherwise, Qin Lan wouldn’t be this upset.

Boom! Boom!

After speaking, he hung up the call, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and the car roared away.

Ten minutes later.

Ye Xuan returned to the residential complex, parked the car at the entrance, and dashed straight towards the house.

"Nothing’s happened to Lanlan, right?"

Just as he reached the front door, before even entering the house, Ye Xuan’s brows knit together, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, the front door of his home was splashed all over with red paint, the nearby wall scribbled with threatening and intimidating words—nothing more than the usual "pay back what you owe."

That shocking red color looked eerily like fresh blood in the dimly lit hallway, giving off a deeply unsettling vibe.

Moreover, the pungent odor that filled the air was far from pleasant, making Ye Xuan frown even more.

Bang!

Ye Xuan pushed the door open forcefully and hurried into the house.

At that moment, Qin Lan was curled up on the living room sofa, staring blankly into space.

Startled by the noise outside, she suddenly tensed like a frightened rabbit, her face etched with fear.

But when she saw that it was Ye Xuan, she immediately jumped off the sofa, barefoot and without even putting on shoes, and launched herself into his arms.

"Ye Xuan, you’re finally back... Those people just now were so fierce, they demanded that I repay the money, but I have no more money..."

Qin Lan spoke with a trembling voice, her words laced with fear, her delicate body shaking slightly, clearly greatly startled.

Taken aback by Qin Lan’s embrace, Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned, then began gently patting her back and comforting her tenderly, "Don’t be afraid. What exactly happened? No matter how big the problem, I’m here to help you solve it!"

At that moment, Qin Lan seemed so fragile, like an injured kitten, eliciting an incredible sense of tenderness from others.

Feeling the broad, warm chest against her and listening to Ye Xuan’s soft words, Qin Lan’s trembling body began to calm down gradually.

Then, the two of them sat down on the sofa.

Ye Xuan cut straight to the chase, "What exactly happened? How is the money gone again? Does this have to do with your brother?"

He had asked the same question earlier in the car, but at the time Qin Lan was too emotionally distraught to elaborate.

Now, he asked again, wanting to know the specifics of what had occurred.

Qin Lan lowered her head, silent for a moment, then began to speak with her red lips trembling, "My brother, he gambled again yesterday and lost five hundred thousand... He’s lost all the money you gave me, and now he owes a lot to others..."

"Ye Xuan, I... I really don’t know what to do now..."

Qin Lan’s eyes brimmed with desolation, her face a portrait of agony.
