Master Has a Disciple Outside

The rain came and went quickly, leaving only a gray expanse outside the window in the early morning.

Gaa-gaa—

Early in the morning, Coal Boss saw Ji Qinglin and Yu Ye lying on the sofa and started squawking, waking them up, acting like the main wife catching the adulterers in bed.

Crazy Night: Damn, you climbed into her bed in the middle of the night, something so exciting and you didn't call me?

Yu Ye: We were just lying next to each other sleeping, nothing to make such a fuss about.

Crazy Night: Next time, it won't just be the bed.

Ji Qinglin grabbed the noisy Coal Boss, got up, and was about to leave the living room when he remembered something. He turned back and asked, "Yu Ye, was that 'Imperial Jade Liquor Wine' really a subconscious response?"

Yu Ye frowned slightly, looking a little helpless, but her almond-shaped eyes remained sincere: "Of course, Master. What's wrong?"

Ji Qinglin smiled in relief, thinking that this little one probably didn't have his kind of experience, and replied, "Nothing, I just think we have a real connection as master and disciple. Get up, today your Master will cook a meal to reward you."

Seeing Master go downstairs, Yu Ye asked, "Was that really a subconscious response?" Crazy Night said, "No way? Even I don't believe it? I swear on my chastity for the next life!" Yu Ye said, "Actually, I'm also curious how you knew it."

Crazy Night: "Maybe someone in the soul fragments I ate knew it. Back then, you pretended to be noble, only killing and not eating, otherwise you probably would have known the phrase too."

Hearing this, Yu Ye recalled that bloody past of raising Gu worms, shook her head, and didn't think about it anymore.

Beep beep beep—

Just as they opened the shop door, the phone on the counter suddenly rang.

"Hello? Zheng Hao? What's wrong? What did you say?! Okay! We'll be there right away! Don't worry!"

Yu Ye was also startled, after all, it was the first time she had seen Master so nervous.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Ji Qinglin frowned, hung up the phone, picked up his helmet, and said, "Someone attacked Thunderclap Manor in the early hours of the morning. President Lei Qiong is seriously injured and unconscious."

Yu Ye's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, recalling the hearty uncle at the dinner table, and puzzled, "President seriously injured and unconscious? How is that possible? Who could have that kind of ability?"

Ji Qinglin handed the helmet to Yu Ye and said, "We don't know yet, we have to go to the hospital first."

After waking up, Ji Qinglin had lived in this world for two years. During this time, besides the people he had helped, the only ones who showed him any human kindness were Old Hu and President Lei Qiong.

Sitting behind him on the way to the hospital, Yu Ye realized that Master could ride Night Owl so fast, feeling no worse than a professional racer. In comparison, usually when he took her, it was more like a leisurely ride.

When the master and disciple arrived at Xin Dong Street Hospital, there were already many people gathered outside the private room.

However, seeing Ji Qinglin and his disciple arrive, the other Elders of the Chamber of Commerce did not come forward to greet them, still talking among themselves. Only Lei Zhenghao, with red eyes, took the initiative to walk up.

"Brother Qinglin, you're here."

"How is he? What's the situation now?"

"The doctor said he barely made it through the critical period, but he's still unconscious. Mom is inside with him."

"What exactly happened?"

Lei Zhenghao took a deep breath, calmed himself, and described the situation as he understood it again.

It turned out that everyone else in the Lei family was out last night, except for the servants in the manor, only the President was there.

During the heavy rain in the early hours of the morning, the servants heard thunder and loud noises coming from the backyard. At first, they thought a lightning strike had collapsed the house. When the rain subsided a little and they went over, they found that the entire backyard house had collapsed, and the President was lying seriously injured in the ruins.

Ji Qinglin looked around and asked, "Where's your sister?"

"After confirming that Father was out of danger, she rushed back to look for clues about the murderer."

Ji Qinglin sighed softly, "That hothead. Zheng Hao, from now on, you must strictly deploy police and reliable Qi Practitioners around the ward for protection. I'll go back to Thunderclap Manor and return soon."

"But Brother Qinglin, if they really wanted to kill my father, wouldn't they have succeeded last night?"

Ji Qinglin looked at the Elders in the hallway, confirmed that no one was looking this way, and whispered in Lei Zhenghao's ear:

"The person who attacked the President last night definitely didn't intend to take his life, but there are people who know the President is seriously injured and want to take his life now who haven't made a move yet."

"Understood!"

Unable to help with the treatment, after understanding the basic situation, Ji Qinglin and Yu Ye also rushed to Thunderclap Manor.

As soon as the master and disciple entered the backyard, they saw a large area of ruins. The main house and two wing rooms in the entire backyard had completely collapsed, with broken bricks and tiles everywhere. There wasn't even a complete wall, and there were several charred pits in the center of the yard.

Yu Ye looked at the scene and said in surprise, "President Lei should have fought the opponent here. To be able to fight to such an extent, what kind of person is the opponent?"

Ji Qinglin circled the ruins, returned to the scorched pit in the courtyard, looked up again, and said with doubt:

"These ruins don't look like they were caused by fighting. All three rooms collapsed, and they are so evenly broken. Plus the several large pits on the ground, hiss, it looks... more like it was caused by a single move."

"A single move?"

Although she didn't see the scene at the time, Yu Ye could imagine the power of that thunderous strike from the extent of the surrounding damage.

Moreover, judging from the results, President Lei Qiong should have been the one who received this move.

As they were talking, several bodyguard-like people hurried in and began to search the ruins, followed by a woman in a blue trench coat: "Search carefully! Don't let go of anything suspicious!"

Her voice was urgent but quite loud, and it was clear that she was not an ordinary Qi Practitioner who focused on body refinement.

Yu Ye asked in a low voice:

"Master, is she President Lei's daughter?"

"Yes, Lei Qiuyun, the successor President Lei is cultivating. She is nicknamed Little Thunder Duke. Her temper and style are quite similar to the President's. Her strength is not weak, but if she wants to support the entire Chamber of Commerce, without the President, I'm afraid..."

Hearing the movement here, Lei Qiuyun turned her head and found Ji Qinglin had arrived, and jumped over.

"It's great that you're here too. Let's all search for clues to the murderer together."

Coming closer, Yu Ye felt that this girl was very tall, only a little shorter than her Master. The loose trench coat did not hide her supermodel's proud figure. Her eyebrows were dignified and quite intellectual, but the black hair at her temples was messily hanging down, and her tightly frowned forehead was full of sweat, showing that she was quite flustered.

Ji Qinglin sighed, reached out and patted her. Several bodyguards looked over here, and then they heard Ji Qinglin order:

"No need to search, everyone come back to the hospital with me!"

Lei Qiuyun heard this and grabbed Ji Qinglin's arm and said anxiously:

"What nonsense are you talking about?! We have to find clues to the murderer here!"

"And then follow the clues to let the murderer kill again?"

"You!"

"The only clear clue now is President Lei himself. If you don't go back, relying only on Zheng Hao and the others, President Lei will soon turn from a witness into evidence."

Lei Qiuyun calmed down a little and said, "I will send people to take care of my father, but this is the first scene after all. If we don't look for clues now, are we waiting until..."

Ji Qinglin interrupted directly: "The fact that President Lei is still alive shows that the other party didn't want to kill at all. To be able to fight to this extent and still retreat completely, do you think there will be any clues left here? Also, I want to remind you that everyone can go find the murderer now, only you don't have this time."

"Why?"

Ji Qinglin stared at Lei Qiuyun and said word by word:

"Because from the moment President Lei fell this morning, your Chamber of Commerce has been teetering on the brink of collapse, Acting President."

Lei Qiuyun, who was still full of anger and unquestionable just now, reacted when she heard this. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then nodded slightly to Ji Qinglin and muttered in a low voice: "I understand, Teacher."

A transitional chapter to escort the Emperor, thank you for your support, love you all.
