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

"Miss!"

A sharp, angry shout suddenly rang out! A red figure swept in from the entrance of the hot spring area like a whirlwind, leaving only a blur in the air! Before the person even arrived, a fierce gust of wind from a punch had already torn through the air, aiming straight for Qin Luo's vital point in the back! The power of this punch was several times stronger than that of the assassins from before!
A sudden sense of alarm ran through Qin Luo! He didn't even have time to turn around completely; he could only rely on his extraordinary reflexes to slide to the side while simultaneously bending his left arm to block backward!
"Oh!"

Their fists clashed, producing a dull thud!

Qin Luo felt a condensed and powerful force penetrate his arm like a drill, causing his entire left arm to instantly feel numb and painful, and he even lost his footing.

He stumbled backward for five or six meters, leaving two clear marks on the marble floor beneath his feet before finally regaining his balance!

He suddenly looked up at the attacker.

A tall, slender woman in a striking red outfit, with a neat ponytail, stood protectively in front of An Ruoxi, her eyes sharp as knives, fixed on Qin Luo. It was Hongxiu, An Ruoxi's bodyguard!

After receiving news of the incident at the hot spring area, Hongxiu rushed over as quickly as possible and happened to see Qin Luo standing next to An Ruoxi with his back to her, surrounded by people lying on the ground. Her first reaction was naturally that Qin Luo was the attacker, so she attacked without mercy.

"Hongxiu! Stop!"

An Ruoxi quickly shouted to stop her.

Upon hearing this, Hongxiu paused, looking at An Ruoxi with a puzzled expression.

"Young Miss, he..."

"He saved me."

An Ruoxi spoke succinctly, pointing to the assassin on the ground.

"These are the attackers. Foreman Wang... was silenced by them."

Hongxiu then noticed the assassins' attire and weapons on the ground, as well as the horrific wound on the foreman's neck.

She immediately understood the situation. Her vigilance lessened slightly but did not completely disappear as she looked at Qin Luo. She simply withdrew her attack stance and said in a deep voice.

"Sorry, I misunderstood."

Qin Luo shook his still slightly numb left arm, secretly shocked. This woman's punches were incredibly powerful! They were probably comparable to Night Rose's, perhaps even more refined and fierce. Anbang Group truly was a place where hidden talents roamed.

He shook his head, indicating that it was alright.

Just then, a more noisy and rapid sound of footsteps came from all directions.

Dozens of bodyguards and security personnel from Anbang Group rushed to the hot spring area, escorting several people. Leading the group were Ye Meigui, Wu Yufeng, Wu Wanqing (a brother and sister), and Jiang Ling, who had been injured by Qin Luo and was still pale. Clearly, the fight and commotion had finally alerted the higher-ups of the resort and the entire Xishan Entertainment City.

"Young Miss! Are you alright?!"

Night Rose was the first to rush forward. When she saw that An Ruoxi was unharmed, only wrapped in a bathrobe and looking a little disheveled, she was clearly relieved. However, when she saw the corpse and bloodstains on the ground, her expression became serious again.

Wu Yufeng also looked concerned, his gaze sweeping across the scene. When he saw Qin Luo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly drawn to the situation before him. Jiang Ling glanced at Qin Luo with a complicated expression, then silently stood aside.

"I am fine."

An Ruoxi quickly regained her composure. She wrapped her bathrobe tighter, glanced at the crowd that had arrived, and spoke in a cool voice.

“It’s Qiu Qinyun. She couldn’t wait any longer and sent someone to kill me.”

"What?! Qiu Qinyun?! She dares!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yufeng flew into a rage and punched the artificial hill next to him.

"That wicked woman! It's one thing for her to fight and scheme against each other all the time, but she actually dares to use such despicable means! She's utterly lawless!"

Jiang Ling's face was also ashen as he roared.

"Madam Yun is going to completely break off all pretense of civility!"

Night Rose's eyes flickered. She had vaguely suspected something before, and now that it was confirmed, she felt a chill run down her spine. The internal struggle within Anbang had finally moved from behind the scenes to the open, where swords clashed.

Wu Yufeng patted his chest, pledging his loyalty to An Ruoxi.

"Young Miss! Rest assured! From now on, I, Wu Yufeng, will follow your lead! If that poisonous woman Qiu Qinyun dares to make another move, I will be the first to object! I will go through fire and water for you!"

Jiang Ling also said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your care, Miss. From now on, Jiang Ling's life belongs to you!"

Night Rose sighed, glanced at Qin Luo, and said to An Ruoxi.

“Miss, Mr. Qin came to the casino looking for Fu Kangxiong before, and we had some misunderstandings and conflicts. Now that I think about it, he was also investigating this matter. Fortunately, he was here today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Her words served both to explain what had happened before and to clarify Qin Luo's purpose and contributions.

Wu Wanqing stood behind her brother, looking at Qin Luo with a complicated expression.

She remembered the humiliation Qin Luo had caused her in public, yet she had to admit that he was her sister's savior. Torn by this conflict, she could only bite her lip, turn her head to the side, and remain silent.

Qin Luo had no interest in listening to their declarations of loyalty and discussions of internal strife. He looked at An Ruoxi and directly reminded her.

"Ms. An, the problem has been resolved. Now, shouldn't we fulfill our promise?"

An Ruoxi looked at him, nodded, and then turned to Night Rose and asked.

"Rose, Fukangxiong, was he really in Xishan? Did he appear at your casino?"

Night Rose quickly bowed in reply.

“Yes, Miss. It’s absolutely true. He did show up at my casino yesterday evening and lost some money. My men followed him secretly and found that he went into the hot spring resort and never came out. He should be hiding here.”

An Ruoxi asked again.

"The exact location?" Night Rose hesitated slightly, her gaze sweeping over the quieter area to the east of the hot spring resort, where several detached villas could be vaguely seen, and whispered.

"According to the report, he entered the detached villa next to 'Lanyue Residence' on the east side. That villa... seems to be the one that Prince Hui occasionally uses to entertain friends..."

"Prince Hui? Li Guanghui?"

An Ruoxi's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

"It really was them, mother and son! Fu Kangxiong is Fu Yongnian's nephew. Fu Yongnian and Qiu Qinyun have been colluding for a long time. It seems that this time, Qiu Qinyun had her good-for-nothing son personally hide Fu Kangxiong. On the one hand, she was doing Fu Yongnian a favor, and on the other hand, she probably wanted to use Fu Kangxiong to cause me trouble, or even... set up a trap like today!"

Having figured this out, An Ruoxi no longer hesitated. She straightened her back, and although she was only wearing a bathrobe, her decisive aura, honed by years of being in a superior position, instantly erupted. Her clear, cold voice carried an undeniable force as she gave the order.

"Hongxiu, mobilize our people immediately! Jiang Ling, you cooperate with Hongxiu! Target: the detached villa next to 'Lanyueju' in the eastern district of the Hot Spring Resort! Find Fukangxiong! If you encounter any resistance... no matter who it is, don't hold back, beat them hard! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

"Yes! Miss!"

Hongxiu and Jiangling responded in unison, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

They had long been dissatisfied with Qiu Qinyun and her son's underhanded tactics of sabotaging and seizing territory. Now that the other party dared to kill the young lady, what did they have to worry about?
Wu Yufeng became even more excited, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"Excellent! I've disliked that mother and son for a long time! Miss, leave this to me! I'll personally lead the men! I guarantee we'll catch that rat for you!"

He clearly wanted to make a good impression on An Ruoxi.

An Ruoxi glanced at Wu Yufeng, then at Qin Luo, and after a moment's thought, said to Wu Yufeng.

“Young Master Wu is very kind. However, Mr. Qin is the person in charge of this matter and also my savior. You, Young Master Wu, will accompany Mr. Qin. Make sure to hand over Fu Kangxiong to Mr. Qin intact.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yufeng immediately understood An Ruoxi's meaning. This was to allow him to contribute his efforts, give Qin Luo face, and also monitor the process.

He nodded quickly.

"No problem! Leave it to me! Brother Qin, come on, I'll lead the way, let's go and drag out that cowardly rat!"

Qin Luo glanced at Wu Yufeng, who was eager to try, and then at An Ruoxi, whose expression was cold but whose gaze was firm, and nodded.

His goal has always been clear: Fu Kangxiong. Now that someone is guiding him and he can leverage Anbang's resources to clear away any potential obstacles, it's naturally the best outcome.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Wu."

Qin Luo said calmly, then followed Wu Yufeng. Hongxiu and Jiang Ling quickly gathered their men, and the group, exuding a murderous aura, sped towards the villa area east of the hot spring resort. The setting sun cast long shadows of them, and an atmosphere of impending storm permeated the entire West Mountain.

The eastern section of the hot spring resort offers a more tranquil and secluded environment, a stark contrast to the bustling public hot spring area in front. Several uniquely styled detached villas are nestled among lush bamboo and trees, offering exceptional privacy.

Wu Yufeng led the way, with Qin Luo following closely behind. Night Rose, Hongxiu, Jiang Ling, and a group of skilled Anbang security personnel followed behind. The group walked hurriedly, but deliberately kept their voices down, like a pack of wolves pouncing on their prey.

Soon, they stopped in front of a large, modern-style villa.

The main building of this villa is over 200 square meters, with a simple and stylish design. It comes with a spacious courtyard of nearly 300 square meters, planted with some rare flowers and plants, and a small outdoor swimming pool. Although it seems to be well-maintained, it lacks the atmosphere of a long-term resident.

"This is it, the building next to 'Lanyue Residence'. Prince Hui sometimes stays here when he comes to Xishan, but he only comes a few times a year, so it's usually empty."

Wu Yufeng lowered his voice and introduced Li Guanghui to Qin Luo, his tone filled with disdain.

Inside the villa, however, the scene was quite different. The lights were on, and music could be faintly heard, mixed with the laughter and banter of men and women, which clashed sharply with the somber atmosphere outside.

In the luxuriously decorated living room, an expensive Persian carpet was laid on the floor, and on the leather sofa, Fu Kangxiong was embracing two women with a lewd grin on his face.

He looked a bit more haggard than before, with noticeable bags under his eyes, but he was very energetic. Although his mother, Zhang Huizhen, had sternly warned him to hide in Xishan to avoid trouble, she felt sorry for her son and still transferred five million yuan to him as "pocket money" so that he wouldn't feel too stifled.

So, through Prince Hui's connections, Fu Kangxiong threw a "party" at the villa. At that moment, he was surrounded by more than a dozen young beauties, each with a different figure and style.

There were alluring women in sexy halter dresses with seductive eyes; there were innocent-looking, seemingly timid schoolgirls; and there were passionate, unrestrained, and fiery women who actively threw themselves into your arms... The air was filled with perfume, alcohol, and an atmosphere of extravagance and indulgence.

Besides these beautiful women, a bald, middle-aged man wearing a black tight-fitting vest and showing off his bulging muscles was also sitting on the sofa.

His name was Li Wei, the top henchman under Prince Hui, and the one Prince Hui specifically sent to "protect" Fu Kangxiong. Li Wei was burly, with bulging temples and fierce eyes, clearly a trained fighter. At this moment, two beautiful women sat beside him, feeding him fruit, while he himself held a bottle of foreign liquor, taking sips every now and then, enjoying this rare "pretty job."

Prince Hui promised him that as long as he kept an eye on Fu Kangxiong and prevented him from running around causing trouble, he would receive a generous "bonus" equivalent to double his salary once the storm had passed. Although Li Wei found it a bit boring to stay in the mountains, he was happy to enjoy the leisurely life, with good food and drink and beautiful women by his side, all for the sake of the money and with Anbang as his backer.

"Brother Li, another drink, please~" A scantily clad beauty approached Li Wei in a sweet voice.

Li Wei laughed heartily, took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He then pinched the beautiful woman's body with his large hand, eliciting a coquettish groan.

Fukuo was even more dissolute, his hands roaming indecently over the body of a pure-looking girl next to him, while he made lewd jokes.

Just as the decadent music was filling the air, a sudden commotion came from outside the villa courtyard, sounding like shouts and the collision of bodies. Then, the music stopped.

"Hmm? What's that noise outside?"

Li Wei frowned, put down his wine glass, his playful smile vanished, and a hint of wariness appeared on his face.

He was in charge of "security" here. Although he didn't think anything major would happen on Anbang's territory, his professional habits made him stand up.

Fu Kangxiong was having a great time and was a little annoyed at being disturbed, so he waved his hand and said.

"Brother Li, go check if some clueless tourist or security guard is causing a commotion. Get them out of there quickly, don't spoil my fun!"

"Okay, I'll go check it out. You guys keep playing."

Li Wei straightened his vest and walked steadily toward the villa gate.

He had just opened the heavy solid wood door and stepped into the porch when he saw two bodyguards he had arranged to guard outside lying on the ground, groaning and unable to get up. Standing in the center of the courtyard were two people—a young man wearing a flashy floral shirt with a cynical smile on his face; and a woman in a dark red cheongsam, with a seductive figure and a cold, beautiful expression.

Upon seeing these two people, Li Wei's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart sank!
Martial Wind! Night Rose!
How could he not know these two people?! Wu Yufeng, the deputy head of the West Hall of Anbang Group, is mainly responsible for the "security" and "coordination" of some gray industries. He is one of An Ruoxi's capable lieutenants. Although young, he is ruthless and has a strong background.

Needless to say, Night Rose is the head of the East Hall, in charge of core entertainment industries such as the West Mountain Casino. She is a pivotal figure in An Ruoxi's camp, with a status even higher than some veteran hall masters! (End of Chapter)
