Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

“Good…very good…Blade, you are truly a good brother to me…”

Blade gave her a deep look, his eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions, including helplessness and determination, but ultimately turning into a cold and resolute resolve.

He said no more, stood up, and walked silently toward the door, just as he had come.

Just as Blade's hand touched the doorknob, a loud, jarring sound came from behind as a glass shattered on the floor!
"Bang—crash!!"

Mu Linshan finally snapped!

Like an enraged lioness, she roared heartbrokenly at Daofeng's retreating figure.

"Why?! Blade! Tell me why?! Just because of that Qin Luo?! A so-called crown prince who just popped up out of nowhere?!"
Is our sibling bond of over twenty years really less valuable than that of a stranger you've only known for a few days?! In your heart, am I, Mu Linshan, the kind of person who would stop at nothing for power, even committing murder and arson?! Answer me!!

Her voice, choked with sobs, echoed in the empty living room, filled with grief, indignation, and resentment.

Blade paused at the doorway, but he didn't turn around. In the dim light, his silhouette appeared exceptionally lonely and resolute.

After a long silence, he left a sentence in a tone that was almost ethereal yet carried a heavy sense of destiny.

"Protecting him is my mission in life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned the doorknob, and his figure disappeared completely into the night.

"mission……?"

Mu Linshan repeated those two words in a daze, and tears finally streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She couldn't understand what kind of "mission" could make Daofeng so resolute, even willing to turn against her, his own sister!

She was convinced that this must be the last order her godfather, Old Master Mu, gave to Daofeng before his death! It was the old man who told Daofeng to protect Qin Luo at all costs!
A fire of sadness, anger, and betrayal burned fiercely in her heart!
She abruptly wiped away her tears, a fierce and resolute light flashing in her eyes! Since Daofeng could disregard sibling affection for Qin Luo, then she needed to have no more reservations!

She immediately took out her phone, dialed a number, and spoke in a voice so cold it was devoid of warmth, carrying an unquestionable command.

"Listen! Use all our connections and resources! I don't care what methods you use! Five days! I'm only giving you five days!"

"We must find the mastermind behind tonight's assassination attempt on the Crown Prince! I need to see them alive or dead! I want to know who's behind this!"

Mu Linshan's forces had been secretly monitoring Qiu Qinxiang's actions. Now, receiving her explicit instructions, they immediately sprang into action with high efficiency!

Anbang Group, which had already made quite a stir due to Qiu Qinxiang's search involving thousands of people, has now launched a full-scale operation with the strong addition of Mu Linshan!
The two factions, working towards the same goal, are like two machines running at full speed, launching an unprecedented, comprehensive search of Mindu!
This massive surge of power immediately alarmed other forces, large and small, in Mindu.

When the leaders of various factions received word that Anbang Group had mobilized almost its entire staff, seemingly searching for some extremely important person or thing, they were shocked.

They were all terrified and quickly restrained their subordinates, keeping them obediently within their own spheres of influence, not daring to show their faces easily, for fear of accidentally angering the two "queens" who were already in a bad mood and getting burned.

However, it's not so easy for them to find peace and quiet.

Soon, these forces received official notices from Anbang Group's headquarters, requiring them to assemble at Anbang Group's headquarters building within half an hour, as they had important matters to discuss!

The notice was delivered in a firm tone, brooking no refusal.

Faced with the dual orders from Mu Linshan and Qiu Qinxiang, none of these powerful figures dared to disobey. They could only brace themselves and rush to the Anbang Group headquarters as quickly as possible, with uneasy and anxious hearts.

……

On the other side, after leaving Mu Linshan's villa, Blade did not return to his own residence, nor did he pursue the clues of the assassination case. Instead, he went straight to a high-end beauty salon located in the bustling city center—Chlitina International Beauty Chain Store Mindu Branch.

This beauty salon operates on an extremely strict membership system. Without a super VIP escort, men are not allowed to enter at all. It is a place frequently visited by socialites and wealthy women in Fujian.

Blade clearly didn't want to attract attention.

Instead of going through the main entrance, he went around to a very hidden back door in the back alley. At the back door, there was a private elevator that looked like it had been sealed off for a long time and had never been used.

He skillfully entered a long and complex password onto the keypad next to the elevator.

With a soft "beep," the elevator doors slid open silently.

Blade stepped inside, the elevator doors closed, and then it ascended straight to the top floor.

The elevator smoothly ascended to the top floor, and the doors slid open silently.

What greets the eye is not the coldness of a commercial space, but an extremely elegant and inviting private residence. Soft lighting, expensive artworks, and a faint, pleasant sandalwood scent permeate the air.

There were two stunningly beautiful women in the living room.

She looked to be around forty years old, but was very well-maintained and still had a charming appearance.

She wore a well-tailored, bright red cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure. Her hair was styled in a high bun and adorned with a jade hairpin. She exuded an air of elegance and nobility, and her eyes conveyed a sense of composure and charm that came from having seen it all.

The other one was much younger, around twenty years old, with a delicate appearance like a porcelain doll.

She was dressed in simple loungewear, but what was most striking were her legs, casually crossed on the sofa footstool—long, straight, with skin as white as fine mutton fat jade, their lines flawless, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by God.

She is Yao Man, known as "America's No. 1 Chinese Leg Model," and her stunningly beautiful legs are her most dazzling label.

Blade's sudden arrival surprised both women, but they clearly recognized him.

Li Qing, dressed in a bright red cheongsam, spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of familiarity and doubt.

"Blade? What brings you here at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Without any further pleasantries, Blade walked to the center of the living room, his gaze sweeping over the two stunning women. He got straight to the point, his voice as deep and steady as ever, but the content of his words instantly changed the expressions of the two women.

"The Crown Prince has been attacked."

"what?!"

"Xiao Luo has been attacked?!"

Li Qing and Yao Man exclaimed almost simultaneously, their composure and ease instantly replaced by tension and worry.

Yao Man sat up abruptly, her beautiful legs, which could make any man swoon, instinctively curling up. She asked urgently, her voice trembling slightly.

"Brother Blade, how's Xiao Luo? Is he injured? How serious is it?"

Li Qing also stared intently at the blade, her charming eyes filled with concern.

Blade shook his head slightly as he looked at their nervous expressions.

"The Crown Prince is unharmed; the enemy failed."

Upon hearing that Qin Luo was alright, Li Qing and Yao Man both breathed a long sigh of relief, their tense bodies relaxing. Yao Man even subconsciously patted her chest, clearly quite shaken.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

Li Qing murmured, then her eyebrows furrowed.

"Who did this? Have you found out?"

Blade's eyes sharpened.

"The mastermind behind this hasn't been found yet. However, some people within Anbang Group have already started making moves." His words were meaningful, and Li Qing and Yao Man exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

They knew that their peaceful days were probably coming to an end.

……

Meanwhile, at the top floor of Yipin International, Qin Luo's luxurious residence.

Xiao Ke stood somewhat awkwardly in the spacious living room, which was big enough to play football in, feeling like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is a dazzling city night view, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, with every piece of furniture looking very expensive.

He had never seen such a luxurious place in his life, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

He rushed over after receiving Qin Luo's call. Since being released from the detention center and recruited by Qin Luo, he had been secretly investigating clues about the disappearance of Qin Luo's parents, Feng Yajun and Qin Xuanlong, but progress had been slow and he had not yet made any valuable discoveries.

Just as he was secretly examining a vase in the living room that looked like an antique, a figure came out from the inner room.

Xiao Ke subconsciously looked up and was immediately struck by a bright light, his breath catching in his throat!
A young woman with a capable demeanor and stunning beauty emerged; it was Chen Yihan.

She seemed to have just finished work, and her face still showed a hint of fatigue, but her natural beauty was still undeniable.

She was dressed in simple loungewear, yet she possessed an elegant aura.

Xiao Ke quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any longer, and sighed inwardly.

"What kind of amazing people are around Brother Luo...?"

When Chen Yihan saw Xiao Ke, a faint smile appeared on her face. She walked up to him and handed him two sets of keys and a bank card.

"Xiao Ke, right? Qin Luo instructed me to give this to you."

Chen Yihan's voice is clear and melodious.

"This is a car key. There's a Range Rover parked downstairs, so it's my mode of transportation."

This is the house key. It's in Xueyuan Community. It's been cleaned up and you can move in now.

There's 500,000 yuan in this card; it's for your initial expenses and settling-in allowance. From now on, you'll receive a fixed monthly salary of 50,000 yuan.

Xiao Ke was completely stunned when he heard Chen Yihan's words and looked at the heavy key in his hand and the bank card that represented a huge amount of wealth!
A Range Rover?! That'll cost at least six or seven hundred thousand!

An apartment in Xueyuan Residential Area?! While not top-tier, the location is good!
500,000 in cash?! A monthly salary of 50,000?!

This...this is simply a meteoric rise to the top!

When had he ever seen so much money in all those petty thefts he did before?!

A tremendous surprise overwhelmed him, leaving him speechless for a moment as he stared blankly at the object in his hand.

Chen Yihan smiled as she looked at him and added.

"Qin Luo said that these things are not given to you for free."

There's something I need you to do.

Xiao Ke finally came to his senses, his face flushed with excitement. He gripped the keys and bank card tightly as if they were priceless treasures, nodding repeatedly, his tone filled with gratitude and determination.

"Understood! Understood! Brother Luo, just tell me what you need! I, Xiao Ke, will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life!"

At this moment, Qin Luo also came out of the study. He looked at the excited Xiao Ke and said in a calm tone.

"I don't need you to risk your life. I'm giving you a task: investigate someone."

"Brother Luo, tell me! Who are you investigating?"

Xiao Ke immediately straightened his back.

"Prince Hui, Zhao Hui."

Qin Luo said.

"I need to know all his recent movements, who he has been in contact with, especially... whether he has been in contact with any suspicious people or people with criminal records."

Qin Luo paused for a moment, then explained.

"I'm in some trouble tonight. Someone wants to kill me. Although Mu Linshan and Qiu Qinxiang are suspects, they are too high-ranking, so they would be too cautious in their actions. It's less likely that they would resort to such brutal methods."

Prince Hui is different. He has the power to hire desperados, and he has the deepest grudge against me, so he is more suspicious.

Of course, this is just my initial assessment and requires evidence.

When Xiao Ke heard that the investigation was about Prince Hui, he felt a chill in his heart. After all, Prince Hui had a bad reputation in the west of the city and was ruthless.

But when he thought of the 500,000 yuan and the keys to the Land Rover that he had in his pocket, as well as his monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, he immediately steeled himself and patted his chest to make a promise.

"Don't worry, Brother Luo! Leave it to me! I'll find out everything about Prince Hui! I'll even find out what color underwear he wears every day!"

Qin Luo was amused by his words and waved his hand.

"Go ahead, be careful, and contact me anytime if you hear from me."

"okay!"

Xiao Ke readily agreed, carefully tucked the things away like treasures, and left excitedly.

Watching Xiao Ke's departing figure, Chen Yihan looked at Qin Luo with some worry.

"This person... seems a bit slippery. Is it reliable to entrust such an important task to him?"

Qin Luo walked to the window, looked at the bustling traffic below, and smiled faintly.

“Employ people with confidence, and don’t employ people you don’t trust.

People like Xiao Ke, who have worked their way up from the bottom, have their own connections and survival wisdom.

Moreover, a generous reward will surely attract brave men. We need men like him now.

……

After leaving Yipin International, Xiao Ke found the brand-new, imposing Range Rover in the parking lot, just as he expected, following the markings on the car key!

He excitedly touched the cold car body, feeling like he was dreaming!
He disdainfully tossed aside his old, beat-up Southeast car, not even bothering to look at it again, clearly showing his disgust.

Eagerly getting into the driver's seat, feeling the comfort of the leather seats and the luxurious atmosphere inside the car, Xiao Ke let out an excited shout before starting the engine and heading towards the address Qin Luo had given him—Xueyuan Residential Area.

Upon arriving at Xueyuan Residential Complex, he unlocked the door with his key. (End of Chapter)
