Chapter 684 Superficial wound, nothing serious

"Brother Meng? This kind of traitor is only a menace!"

Cha Meng glanced coldly at the unconscious Xu Tianbao and his restrained, indignant subordinates, and said in a low voice.

“Killing him directly would be too easy on him. It would also make me, Cha Meng, seem petty. Take him away! Lock him up! I’ll slowly torture him! As for his casino…” Cha Meng’s gaze turned to Wei Junwu, carrying a hint of pity and exploitation.

“Mr. Wei, you’ve just arrived and need a place to stay. From now on, this casino will be yours to manage. And you won’t skimp on my share of the ‘management fee’!”

Upon hearing this, Wei Junwu was first stunned, then overjoyed! Taking over Xu Tianbao's casino, which had been run for many years? This was a huge piece of meat! It meant that his foothold in northern Myanmar was instantly secured!
His face immediately plastered with a fawning smile, and he bowed and scraped.

"Yes! Yes! Don't worry, Brother Meng! I, Wei Junwu, will definitely take good care of the place for you! The gifts I'm due to you will be more than you should have! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

He seemed to already see his future, where he would wield immense power and influence in this land.

Cha Meng snorted coldly, no longer looking at Wei Junwu's fawning face, and waved his hand.

"Take them away! Clean up the mess!"

His men, like wolves and tigers, dragged the unconscious Xu Tianbao, along with the injured Qiangzi and the others, and quickly left the casino.

Wei Junwu stood smugly in the center of the empty casino hall, surveying the territory that was about to become his own, a greedy and ferocious smile on his face.

Xu Tianbao's businesses now all belong to him! As for Qin Luo... Wei Junwu's eyes flashed coldly. Once Cha Meng finishes dealing with Xu Tianbao, he'll be next!
The next day, at the first light of dawn.

In the guest rooms of the three-story villa, light filters through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a warm band of light on the carpet.

Ai Yiqian slowly opened her eyes, and her spirits were noticeably better than yesterday.

The pain in my thigh was still there, but it was no longer the excruciating pain that tore my bones apart. Instead, it became a deep, dull ache and a feeling of soreness.

She tried gently moving her right toes and was pleasantly surprised to find that she could control them easily!
Qin Luo sat quietly by the bed, twirling several needles as fine as cow hair in his hand, shimmering with a warm, silvery light.

He nodded slightly when he saw Ai Yiqian wake up.

"How does it feel?"

"Much better! Really!"

Ai Yiqian's eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude.

"The wound feels...warm, not as burning and painful as it was yesterday. My leg...seems to have some strength back?"

She tried to prop herself up with her arms, and although her movements were still a bit stiff and difficult, she actually managed to sit up slowly! Although she dared not put any weight on her right leg, the numbness that made her completely unable to move disappeared!
"Don't worry, it's not completely healed yet."

Qin Luo gestured for her to lie down.

"I'll give you another acupuncture treatment to strengthen your body and accelerate healing."

Ai Yiqian lay down as instructed, looking curiously at the silver needles in Qin Luo's hand.

Qin Luo's eyes were focused, and his fingers fell lightly and precisely like butterflies flitting among flowers.

Several silver needles were instantly inserted into acupoints around Ai Yiqian's legs and waist, at varying depths and angles.

Even more miraculously, when Qin Luo gently brushed his finger across the end of the needle and injected a wisp of pure internal energy, those tiny silver needles began to vibrate rapidly at a visible, extremely subtle yet stable frequency! The needles even emitted a very faint buzzing sound!

Gentle yet resilient streams of heat, like gurgling springs, flowed through the silver needles into Ai Yiqian's wounds and meridians, dispelling stagnation and cold, and nourishing the damaged tissues.

Ai Yiqian clearly felt a strange tingling and warm sensation coming from inside the wound, as if countless tiny lives were repairing and growing. The pain was further reduced under the wash of this warm current.

"This...this is traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture? It's...it's amazing!"

Ai Yiqian felt the changes in her body and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

She had never seen such immediate and miraculous medical skills!

"It's just a treasure passed down through thousands of years of Chinese civilization."

Qin Luo put away the needles with fluid, effortless movements; the silver needles seemed to come alive in his hands.

His tone was flat.

"After resting for another two or three days, as long as you avoid strenuous exercise, you should be able to move around without any problems."

Ai Yiqian, with Qin Luo's help, carefully stood on the carpet.

Although my right leg is still a little weak and the wound is throbbing, it is indeed able to support my body and walk slowly! This is simply a medical miracle!

"Qin Luo... thank you!"

Ai Yiqian said sincerely, looking at the mysterious man in front of her with complicated eyes.

He not only saved his own life, but also possessed such miraculous medical skills.

"No need to thank me."

Qin Luo waved his hand, walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked out at the still chaotic but brightly lit street.

"I need to go to the nearby casino."

"casino?"

Ai Yiqian immediately became alert.

"Is it Xu Tianbao's casino? Are you going to find Wei Junwu?"

"Ah."

Qin Luo did not deny it.

“Some things need to be clarified in person. Besides, Xu Tianbao helped me, so it's only right and proper that I go and check on his situation.”

He had a vague feeling last night that something was off about the atmosphere in the direction of the casino, and this morning it felt unusually quiet.

Ai Yiqian subconsciously wanted to say that she wanted to go too, but when she looked down at her weak right leg and felt the dull pain from the wound, she swallowed the words back.

In her current state, she can't even protect herself, let alone help. Going with her would only be a burden to Qin Luo.

“I…” Ai Yiqian bit her lip, with a hint of resentment and disappointment.

"My leg isn't fully healed yet, and going there might only be a burden to you... I'll stay here to recover. Be very careful! Wei Junwu definitely has Cha Meng's men with him!"

Qin Luo nodded, approving of her rational judgment.

He walked to the corner of the room, opened a cabinet, and inside were several pistols and several magazines full of bullets that he had confiscated from the villa's bodyguards.

He picked out two pistols in the best condition and a few spare magazines, and also took some compressed biscuits and bottled water, placing them by Ai Yiqian's bedside.

"Take these for self-defense. The food and water should last you for a few days."

Qin Luo gave his instructions, his tone serious.

"Remember, no matter what happens outside, no matter what noise you hear, absolutely do not go out! This villa is relatively safe for now; Cha Meng's men wouldn't dare to easily break into a place with such powerful backing. Wait for me to come back." Ai Yiqian looked at the cold weapons and food and nodded vigorously.

"I understand! Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself!"

Qin Luo said no more, took one last look at Ai Yiqian, and strode out of the room.

Soon, the sound of a car engine starting could be heard downstairs. A Range Rover drove out of the villa's garage, left the courtyard, and merged into the chaotic traffic on Kokang's streets.

Qin Luo drove his Land Rover and soon arrived near "Tianbao Entertainment City".

He noticed something was wrong from afar.

The casino, which used to be bustling with people and vehicles even during the day, is now closed! The huge neon sign is dim and the parking lot is empty, exuding a sense of death and desolation.

There weren't even any security guards standing at the entrance as usual.

Something's happened! Qin Luo's heart sank.

He slowly parked the car in an inconspicuous corner diagonally opposite the casino, turned off the engine, and quietly observed.

Not long after, the roller shutter door at the entrance to the parking lot on the side of the casino was pulled up with a "whoosh".

Several military pickup trucks painted in camouflage and equipped with machine guns drove out.

Inside the pickup truck bed stood seven or eight armed men, dressed in uniforms similar to military or police uniforms but with mixed equipment. Among them were several people with their hands tied behind their backs and black hoods over their heads.

Qin Luo's gaze was sharp as an eagle's, instantly locking onto one of them! Although the other person was wearing a hood, that burly figure, that T-shirt stained with large patches of dark red dried blood... it was Qiangzi who brought him here last night!

Qiangzi is still alive! But he's clearly in extremely dangerous condition!
The other people tied up beside him, judging from their builds, were also Xu Tianbao's men!

The pickup truck didn't stop; its engine roared as it sped off toward the outskirts of the city.

Qin Luo's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he started the Land Rover and followed silently from a distance.

He didn't follow too closely, relying on his superb driving skills and keen sense of terrain to always hide himself in the shadows of traffic and buildings.

The convoy bumped along the way and soon left the relatively populated town area, entering a more desolate and remote mountainous area.

The road is flanked by dense jungles and steep mountain walls, a place rarely visited by people.

Finally, the convoy stopped in a deserted mountain valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and filled with rocks.

This is clearly a place for disposing of "garbage," with a faint, almost imperceptible stench wafting through the air.

The armed men roughly pushed the men, bound and hooded, out of the truck bed one by one, forcing them to kneel in a row on the gravel-strewn ground. The cold muzzles of guns were pressed against the back of their heads!

A man who looked like a leader, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, lazily waved his hand and mumbled a few words in Burmese. The meaning was clear.

Prepare for execution!

The shadow of death instantly enveloped everyone kneeling on the ground.

Qiangzi's body was tense, his teeth were clenched so tightly that they were grinding together, but he couldn't make a sound.

At this critical moment!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several extremely faint, yet chillingly sharp, whooshing sounds shot out from the dense forest beside them without warning!

The sound was incredibly fast!
The armed men who had pointed their guns at the back of the kneeling man's head suddenly froze!
Almost simultaneously, a small but deadly blood hole appeared in the center of their foreheads! Behind the blood hole, a red and white substance mixed with brain matter suddenly spurted out!
The numbness from carrying out the mission and a hint of relief at its imminent completion still lingered on their faces, but their eyes instantly froze and became unfocused! Their bodies felt as if their bones had been removed, and they collapsed limply to the ground, their guns clattering to the ground.

The sudden turn of events left the remaining armed men and their leader completely bewildered!
They stared in horror, not even able to see where the attack came from!
"Who's there?! Show yourself!"

In a panic, the leader pulled out his pistol and fired a shot haphazardly into the dense forest!
However, what responded to him was an even more intense, piercing whistling sound!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Several more soft pops rang out! The remaining armed men, including the leader who had just drawn his gun, almost simultaneously had blood splatter from between their eyebrows or temples! Before they could even scream, they followed in their comrades' footsteps, falling haphazardly onto the cold, rocky ground.

The entire valley fell into a deathly silence! Only the low rumble of the pickup truck, whose engine had not yet completely shut off, and the heavy, uncertain breathing of the people kneeling on the ground with hoods over their heads.

In the dense forest, Qin Luo's figure emerged silently like a ghost.

Without even glancing at the corpses on the ground, he walked straight to the kneeling men, quickly and precisely untied the ropes binding their hands and removed the black hoods from their heads.

The blinding sunlight made Qiangzi and the others squint.

When Qiangzi's vision cleared and he saw the figure standing in front of him who had saved them like a god descending from heaven, he was completely stunned!
"Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin?!"

Qiangzi cried out in shock, his voice trembling violently with extreme shock and the joy of surviving a disaster!
The other rescued subordinates also recognized Qin Luo, their eyes filled with unbelievable gratitude and awe.

"It was...it was you who saved us?!"

Qiangzi looked at the corpses on the ground with holes through their foreheads, then at Qin Luo's empty hands, and simply couldn't understand how that incredible killing had been accomplished! But the facts were right in front of him!

"Easy to do."

Qin Luo spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Qiangzi's blood-stained right shoulder.

Your injury…

"It's just a minor injury! It's nothing serious!"

Qiangzi interrupted him excitedly, struggling to stand up, but staggered because he had been kneeling for too long and was injured.

He completely disregarded his own injuries and suddenly looked up at Qin Luo. This man, who had seen life and death in northern Myanmar and whose heart was as hard as iron, suddenly had hot tears welling up in his eyes!

"Pfft!"

Qiangzi's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily before Qin Luo! He wasn't forced; he knelt down willingly!
He looked up, his face smeared with blood, tears and dirt, his eyes filled with the most humble and urgent plea, his voice hoarse and choked, like a cuckoo crying blood.

"Mr. Qin! Please! Please save Brother Leopard!! Cha Meng... Cha Meng has captured him!!!"

Qiangzi's hoarse plea, tinged with sobs, struck Qin Luo's heart like a heavy hammer blow against the cold rocks.

With Qiangzi's heart-wrenching plea.

"Puff! Puff!"

The men behind him, who had also been pulled back from the brink of death by Qin Luo, knelt down without hesitation!
Most of them had Chinese faces. Qin Luo had seen a few of them in the lobby of the Naypyidaw Hotel yesterday. They were all Xu Tianbao's confidants who had gone with Qiangzi to meet him.

At this moment, the faces of these men who had risked their lives in northern Myanmar were filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and a deep despair and pleading for their leader's situation.

"Mr. Qin! Please save Brother Leopard!"

"Only you can save him!"

"Cha Meng will kill Brother Leopard!"

The cries of pleas echoed through the mountain valley, heavy with the weight of blood and tears.
