"Want to leave? Hmph," Jin Gong sneered.
"No one is leaving today!"
The three mercenaries unleashed their true strength.
Veins bulged on their bodies, and internal energy surged within them.
Fortunately, the office was spacious, nearly a hundred square meters.
Otherwise, Leng Qian would have had trouble coping if she couldn't move freely.
Facing the three attackers, Leng Qian remained unfazed.
She actively charged towards the mercenary who had tried to grab her leg earlier, leaping up and swinging a whip kick at his head.
The mercenary hadn't expected her to be so fast. He couldn't dodge in time and quickly raised his right hand to protect his head.
"Hiss!" The immense force caused the mercenary excruciating pain. He was sent flying and crashed onto the sofa.
The other two reacted immediately, producing Nepalese daggers from nowhere and slashing at Leng Qian.
Leng Qian's delicate eyebrows furrowed. She waved her right hand, and a short dagger appeared, meeting their blades.
"Clang!"
A loud metallic clang echoed through the room, making Tantai Yue's eardrums throb.
Leng Qian, fighting two opponents, remained calm and held her ground.
Seeing this, another mercenary pulled out a Nepalese dagger, got up, and charged at Leng Qian.
He swung his blade towards Leng Qian's shoulder.
Leng Qian glanced sideways, her internal energy surging, and she increased the force of her grip, pushing the two men back.
Then, she quickly slanted her body, but a slash still grazed her thigh.
A searing pain shot through her leg instantly.
Her fair, long leg now bore a red gash, and blood trickled down her thigh onto her high heels.
It dyed the silvery-white heels a deep red.
"Leng Qian!" Tantai Yue exclaimed, startled by the wound that was over an inch long. Just as she was about to rush over, Leng Qian called out to her.
"Don't come over!" Leng Qian gritted her teeth against the pain.
"I'm fine."
"Heh heh, what a shame. Such beautiful legs, and they get cut before I could enjoy them. It'll affect the pleasure in bed!" The mercenary licked the blood from his blade and chuckled sinisterly.
"You're asking for death!" Leng Qian roared, gripping her dagger tightly and lunging forward.
Downstairs at Hong Yan Company, Qin Xuan sat on the steps, having waited for a long time. Tantai Yue still hadn't come down. He checked his phone; it was long past quitting time. He grumbled a little,
"This Tantai, she's still working so long after hours. I've told her many times to prioritize her health, but why is she so disobedient?"
Just then, several employees rushed out of the building. Qin Xuan, seeing their panicked state, quickly stepped forward and asked,
"What's going on? Where's your President Tantai?"
A young female employee recognized Qin Xuan and quickly replied,
"President Qin, why are you still sitting here? Some hooligans came to the company and started fighting in President Tantai's office. The new secretary, Leng, even got cut on her leg and bled a lot!"
"What!" Qin Xuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He immediately turned and rushed into the company.
He didn't have time to wait for the elevator and ran up the stairs instead.
Arriving outside Tantai Yue's office, he saw three burly men in the spacious office relentlessly attacking Leng Qian.
Leng Qian's face was pale, clearly exhausted. Her once long and fair thigh was now stained red with blood, and she limped with every movement.
Although Leng Qian was at the late stage of Xiantian, fighting three at the mid-stage of Xiantian was still a struggle.
Moreover, being in the office and worried about harming Tantai Yue, she was clearly outmatched.
Just as Leng Qian was about to falter, the mercenary who had injured Tantai Yue found an opening. He circled behind Leng Qian and, while she was distracted, swung his dagger forcefully towards her shoulder.
Leng Qian, having just repelled the two mercenaries, suddenly felt a chill behind her. Though she couldn't see it, her sharp senses told her she couldn't dodge this blow.
Just as the mercenary's dagger was about to strike Leng Qian's shoulder.
In that critical moment, a pen flew from nowhere and embedded itself in the mercenary's hand holding the Nepalese dagger.
"Ah!" The mercenary roared in pain.
"Damn it, who is it!"
Qin Xuan stormed into the office. With a few breaths, he reached Leng Qian's side, scooped her up, and leaped back in front of Tantai Yue.
"Qin Xuan!" Tantai Yue's eyes lit up at Qin Xuan's appearance.
Qin Xuan put Leng Qian down and asked them,
"Are you two alright?"
Leng Qian checked her wound. Fortunately, it hadn't touched bone. She shook her head.
Tantai Yue also said,
"We're fine. Leng Qian has been protecting me."
Jin Gong glanced at Qin Xuan and asked coldly,
"Boy, who are you?"
Qin Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He pointed to the woman behind him,
"Her man."
Hearing this, Tantai Yue's heart warmed instantly.
Women, after all, loved to hear such words.
"You're Qin Xuan?" Jin Gong's expression shifted.
Qin Xuan was also a little surprised. How did he know his name? But on second thought, considering the age of the middle-aged man before him, he was likely the Jin Gong Leng Qian had mentioned, the father of Jin Shikai.
"It's me," Qin Xuan admitted.
"Boy, we've been looking for you. Your involvement in my son's death is also implicated! I didn't expect you to walk right into our trap. Take this kid down too!"
The three men charged directly at Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan let out a cold laugh. He spread his right hand, and an invisible vortex began to spin in his palm.
When the three men were less than a meter away from Qin Xuan, he swung his palm.
A powerful gust of wind erupted.
The three men were like mountains crashing down upon them, sent flying and slamming against the office wall.
"Pfft!"
All three spat out a mouthful of blood.
Both Jin Gong and Leng Qian were astonished.
"Juhe stage!"
Internal energy projection!
This was something only martial artists at the Juhe stage could achieve.
Leng Qian's bright eyes stared in disbelief as the three men fell from the wall.
This guy had become even stronger than he was a few days ago!
If she were to fight the current Qin Xuan,
whereas a few days ago she might have had a 30% chance, Leng Qian felt she wouldn't even have a 10% chance now.
"Want to try again?" Qin Xuan retracted his hand, placing his palms behind his back, and asked indifferently.
The three mercenaries swallowed, a hint of fear creeping into their eyes.
The Juhe stage!
They were as fragile as ants to someone at the Juhe stage.
The Xiantian stage and the Juhe stage were a significant divide.
With internal energy projection at the Juhe stage, you could be killed without even getting close.
Jin Gong also hadn't expected this kid to be a martial artist.
Damn it, that bastard Li Shengtian never mentioned it, causing me such a loss.
"Good kid, you just wait. I won't let my son's death go unavenged."
With that, he flicked his hand and left the office. The three mercenaries quickly got up and followed Jin Gong, limping behind him.
