The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 696 - 658 Protecting You

After obtaining the Peace Pendant, Yan Ting returned to his room.

The room was not lit, he clutched the Peace Pendant in his hand, sitting on the sofa for a long time.

He didn’t sleep all night, and only got up and left the room after four o’clock in the morning.

The weather was cold, and the dawn came late.

The wind was howling at night, and Yan Ting walked against the wind, his trench coat rustling loudly.

He walked a long distance, becoming more and more remote as he went.

Finally reaching a mountain, he went around to open a secret door and descended down the steps.

After winding through a few turns at the bottom, he stood before another door.

A door with a combination lock.

Yan Ting looked at this heavy door.

There was no light around, only a bit of light from the flashlight on his phone shining on the door.

It was quiet too, only a slight air flow.

Chilling cold, darkness, and silence surrounded him.

Malicious thoughts grew rampantly.

All constraints were broken.

The incomplete gradually became whole.

Yan Ting looked at the combination lock on the door, his gaze calm yet extremely lazy. After a while, he raised his hand and entered the password.

Twelve-digit password, six numbers and six letters, he remembered them clearly.

Since the moment Mr. Huo told him, he engraved this password in his heart.

He believed for a long time that he was born for this password.

But after entering the last digit, suddenly there was a click, the sound of a wrong password.

Yan Ting’s expression froze for a moment, then he frowned, and entered the password again with more diligence this time, confirming each one.

But after finishing, it still emitted the sound of a wrong password.

Yan Ting’s demeanor suddenly became very unpleasant. He brought his phone closer and entered it again, still incorrect.

He had seen Mr. Huo open this door with this very password with his own eyes.

These six numbers and six letters, he couldn’t have pressed them wrong.

Unless someone changed the password.

His eyes filled with venomous malice, looking at the door in front, suddenly having the urge to blow it open.

But he couldn’t blow it up. Once the explosives were used, the device inside would be triggered and everything would be destroyed.

All of it, years of planning, it would all be in vain.

After standing for a while, he clutched the Peace Pendant in his pocket and turned to leave the secret room.

...

Early in the morning, Qiao Yuxian was still asleep when Huang Qi came to knock and take her pulse.

Upon hearing the knocking, Qiao Yuxian groggily got up, looked at what she was wearing, and haphazardly adjusted it before opening the door.

Huang Qi saw her messy hair, her eyes not yet opened, and her pale complexion with sweat on her forehead, quickly followed her into the room, closing the door, "Miss Qiao, how are you feeling?"

"Alright." Qiao Yuxian dragged her weary body to the sofa and sat down, "Weak, constantly sweating."

"Any other symptoms?" Huang Qi asked.

"Not really feeling anything else." Qiao Yuxian replied.

Huang Qi visibly let out a sigh of relief, checked her pulse by crouching down, and then another breath of relief, "That’s good. I’ll give you a few acupuncture sessions, drink the medicine in the morning, you should feel much better by noon. By the evening, there should be no problem."

Qiao Yuxian gave him a thumbs up.

Huang Qi started to give her acupuncture.

Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

Huang Qi said, "Why go through this, making yourself so uncomfortable? If Mr. Gu finds out, I’m afraid he’ll kill me." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You don’t say, I don’t say, he won’t know." Mentioning Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yuxian smiled slightly, "If it isn’t real, Yan Ting won’t be fooled. That physician yesterday. Blood tests, auscultations, and another felt my pulse. If I were faking, wouldn’t I have been exposed?"

"Actually, directly breaking it off won’t be much different than the current situation." Huang Qi said.

"There would be a big difference." Qiao Yuxian replied.

Huang Qi glanced up at her.

Qiao Yuxian had her head tilted back; he could only see her neck. After a glance, he quickly looked away.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Yan Ting is very suspicious. Even now, he wouldn’t fully believe that I would suspect Gu Yanjing. If it weren’t for him seeing my sudden severity and thinking I was provoked, who knows how much more evidence pointing to Gu Yanjing he would fabricate.

Huang Qi inserted a needle in her hand.

It hurt a bit, Qiao Yuxian’s eyelid twitched, and continued, "Moreover, he would be highly vigilant of me. A weak me would lower his guard and to some extent, reduce his vigilance against my power. It’s almost New Year’s, I want to go home for it. The sooner things are resolved, the better, it can’t drag on. I worsened my poisoning, handing over the Peace Pendant, they’ll soon make a move."

Huang Qi stood up and went behind the sofa.

Qiao Yuxian opened her eyes and looked at him.

Huang Qi said, "I need to insert two needles on your head."

"Two needles?" Qiao Yuxian stared at the bundle of needles in his hand.

Huang Qi also looked at his own hand, "Two needles. It’s a habit. Took out the whole box."

"Oh." Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes assuredly.

Huang Qi stayed in her room for more than half an hour, finishing the acupuncture, and waited to remove the needles before leaving.

But as soon as he stepped out, he suddenly discovered six more people at the door.

On either side of the door, three standing neatly.

Upon hearing him come out, all six turned to glance at him without a word, then looked forward again.

Huang Qi paused mid-step, having a hunch, but still asked, "What are you doing?"

No one answered him.

The room door hadn’t been closed, Qiao Yuxian heard the sound and came out.

Seeing the six people outside, she asked, "What are you doing?"

All six turned to look at her, nodded, one said, "Young Master Yan asked us to protect Miss Qiao."

"Is it protection or surveillance?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

No one spoke.

"Where is Yan Ting?" Qiao Yuxian’s expression was not good, her voice soft.

But her demeanor turned cold, the pressure like a mountain falling over.

"Young Master Yan has gone out."

Qiao Yuxian went back to the room to get her phone to call him, but the call didn’t go through. She checked her phone and found no signal.

Huang Qi saw her expression and quickly took out his phone, which was also without signal: "No signal."

Qiao Yuxian’s demeanor turned colder, she looked outside and then directly moved to leave. At the doorway, they reached out to stop her. Huang Qi, afraid they’d touch her, stood in front of her.

"Move aside." Qiao Yuxian said.

"For your safety, you cannot leave here." The person blocking her said.

"What if I insist on leaving?" Qiao Yuxian looked at him and asked.

"Then we can only offend you." This person finished speaking, and someone standing behind brought over and opened a case.

Upon seeing the contents inside, Huang Qi’s eyes widened.

Six tranquilizers.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at them, then at them, "You want to fight me? That’s insane!"

"Miss, your current physical condition is not suitable for fights."

Qiao Yuxian’s previously heavy eyelids sprang open.

Huang Qi, with his back to her, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if something had exploded.

He turned to glance at her.

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, on the verge of fury.

They were indeed exploiting her weakness to claim her life.

"What the hell are you all blathering about! Out of your minds! All lunatics!"
