Chapter 1335: Chapter 1334: Disaster Strikes

Qiu Qingqing glanced at the desk, ”The ashes of that Jenny Blunt have disappeared, right.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, it seemed Qiu Qingqing had noticed it too.

”How did you know, Qingqing?” Qi asked. Jiang Cheng saw Qi sticking close to Qiu Qingqing, seizing every chance to join the conversation.

Qiu Qingqing didn’t answer him and simply walked ahead. Qi saw Qiu Qingqing moving ahead, ignoring him, and turned around looking dejectedly at Jiang Cheng, ”Brother Zai, did I... annoy Qingqing?” Jiang Cheng shook his head, ”That’s just her personality. Let’s go.”

Qi nodded, still appearing somewhat disappointed.

”Let’s go, Qi, you’re still too young, you completely don’t understand women.”

Wang looked at Qi and felt like teasing him. Laughing, he said, Qi glanced at Wang with a displeased expression, ”I’m not small. Hmph!” After saying this, he followed Jiang Cheng.

Wang was left both amused and speechless by Qi’s antics, shaking his head as he followed them. Leading the way, Qiu Qingqing walked quickly, and Jiang Cheng felt as if Qiu Qingqing was already aware of the situation here, as if she was walking with a purpose.

”Oh my, Qingqing, why are you walking so fast?” Qi was out of breath. He asked.

Qiu Qingqing finally stopped, turning around to look at Qi, ”What’s up? Can’t keep up?” Her eyes showed some confusion.

”Qingqing, aren’t you tired? How can you walk so fast? We can’t keep up.” Qi said.

Wang was also tired, with his legs trembling, considering they had walked for so long without resting. He was still mentally under a certain amount of pressure.

Qiu Qingqing didn’t slow down and continued forward. Jiang Cheng understood her current thoughts; with her mindset, she probably considered Qi and Wang as burdens.

”Forget it, you just walk at your own pace. That’s just how she is, you’ll have to bear with it.” Jiang Cheng apologized to Qi and Wang.

”No worries, I think Qingqing surely isn’t annoyed by us.” Qi smiled.

”She is annoyed by you,” Jiang Cheng thought.

The road ahead seemed like a straight path, without any places to hide. They walked like this for half an hour. Suddenly, Qiu Qingqing stopped and didn’t proceed.

”What’s wrong, Qingqing? Why aren’t you moving?” Qi asked.

Jiang Cheng walked over to Qiu Qingqing, ”Is there a problem ahead?”

”Hmm, there are people ahead!” Qiu Qingqing pressed tightly against the wall, whispering to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng gestured to Qi and Wang to squat down.

Jiang Cheng saw faint light at the turning ahead, reflecting the silhouette on the wall, indicating there were indeed others present.

Jiang Cheng could see a person holding a porcelain jar projected onto the wall, seemingly the size of those holding ashes.

People around the one holding the jar seemed to be discussing something, Jiang Cheng could clearly see the person opening the jar, ”Them!” Qi suddenly stood up. Jiang Cheng quickly covered Qi’s mouth, and Qi struggled, with Jiang Cheng sensing his pain and struggle. Gradually, Jiang Cheng felt wetness on the back of his hand as droplets started falling on it.

Qi’s sobbing slowly escaped, and Jiang Cheng could feel his whole body trembling, apparently suppressing immense pain. Jiang Cheng didn’t know why Qi’s emotions fluctuated so greatly, but he was certain that Qi had some connection with the Blunt Clan.

Qiu Qingqing gestured to Jiang Cheng, indicating she planned to move ahead. Jiang Cheng nodded, and Qi’s emotions gradually stabilized.

Jiang Cheng slowly let go of Qi.

”You and Wang wait here for us. I’ll go ahead with her.”

Jiang Cheng tried to quietly comfort Qi.

He signaled Wang to pay attention to Qi’s emotions.

Jiang Cheng took a step and was immediately pulled back by Qi, ”Take me with you, Brother Zai.” Qi seemed less agitated now, but Jiang Cheng knew he was still not in a clear state of mind. He couldn’t let Qi go ahead; it was too dangerous.

”No, you wait here first, and follow later.” Jiang Cheng said, looking at the situation ahead.

Qi insisted on following Jiang Cheng, appearing completely irrational and extreme.

Just as Jiang Cheng and Qi were still at an impasse, footsteps suddenly sounded ahead. Jiang Cheng suddenly had a chill. Qiu Qingqing also froze in place.

Jiang Cheng saw two people walking towards them. A bad feeling rose in his heart, fearing they might have been discovered. Jiang Cheng pondered.

All four squeezed into a rocky crevice, remaining silent, Jiang Zai felt everyone holding their breath. He could practically hear the breathing of others nearby.

At that moment, someone walked past Jiang Cheng, just inches away, before he continued. Jiang Cheng let out a breath, relieved they weren’t discovered. He thought.

But just as they all relaxed their vigilance, a person suddenly appeared in front of them. Jiang Cheng’s heartbeat quickened, almost leaping from his chest.

This person locked eyes with Jiang Cheng’s group for a while before calling back the previous boy. Qiu Qingqing seemed to have something unknown in hand, probably preparing for an attack. Jiang Cheng thought.

Jiang Cheng blinked at Qiu Qingqing, ”Don’t act rashly yet!”

Qiu Qingqing paused with the bottle in hand. She certainly saw the person holding the jar, and Jiang Cheng noticed she had a stun spray, intending to make them faint. But since he held the ashes, he wouldn’t be easily subdued by Qiu Qingqing.

”Who are you!” The man asked harshly. Jiang Cheng saw the man holding the jar, wearing black clothes and carrying a backpack, clearly prepared. Another man now drew a gun! Jiang Cheng felt a chill in his heart; fortunately, he hadn’t acted rashly before, otherwise, they’d be in trouble now.

Now, both men’s gazes were glued to Qiu Qingqing, and the man holding the jar showed greed in his eyes. ”Who are you?” Qiu Qingqing asked calmly, without any panic or fear.

”Heh, asking us?” The man holding the jar suddenly turned to the man behind him with a contemptuous smile.

”Now’s not the time to answer that.” The man smiled at Qiu Qingqing, boldly scrutinizing her.

Qiu Qingqing gently chuckled, retaining an icy demeanor, seemingly indifferent to the two.

Both men appeared angered by Qiu Qingqing, casting unfriendly looks at her. The man in front extended his hand toward Qiu Qingqing.

Before Jiang Cheng could act, he saw a pair of hands quickly blocking Qiu Qingqing. It was Qi!
