A cold and murderous laugh emerged from the phone, as if it were from a devil in hell, devoid of the slightest humanity, utterly inhumane!

This was the father of Hong Guchen! Hong Zhenhai! He was here for revenge!

"DOO-DOO-DOO!"

Hong Zhenhai hung up the phone, leaving only a continuous busy signal.

Qin Heng put down the phone, his face as somber as water.

Clearly, Hong Zhenhai was trying to infuriate him, to make him lose his reason and seek blind revenge, thereby finding an opportunity to exploit a vulnerability! A person who has lost their reasoning, no matter how powerful, will certainly reveal their greatest weakness! That was Hong Zhenhai's wishful thinking.

"Ant-like creatures, daring to be so bold!" Murderous intent flickered in Qin Heng's eyes.

Provocation! This was egregious provocation! Although Xia Shuang and he weren't well-acquainted, she was his guest, after all. Hong Zhenhai actually dared to kidnap his guest, Qin Heng—insolence too far! And what's more, Hong Zhenhai even dared threaten him, saying he would kill his family members! Deserving of a thousand deaths!

Wu Yuqing, who was nearby, had also heard the voice from the phone and immediately panicked. Looking at Qin Heng, she asked, "What should we do? What should we do? Xia Shuang can't really be in trouble, can she?"

She was just an ordinary young girl, completely at a loss in the face of such an incident.

"It's alright. Someone will come to pick you up in a bit. You'll be very safe by her side," Qin Heng gently patted Wu Yuqing's head. "Xia Shuang will be fine too."

「After a while,」

Chen Qingzhu drove up to Red Plank Pavilion, instantly causing a stir.

"My goodness! Isn't that Chen Qingzhu, the CEO of Chen's Financial Group? One of the top figures in Tianhai! What's she doing here?"

"So lucky! I never expected to actually see Chen Qingzhu!"

Many people began to exclaim. Lately, due to her frequent media appearances for investment projects, many people recognized her. They knew she was the Family Head of the Chens, controlling the Chen's Financial Group, worth hundreds of billions. Her sudden arrival at Changtai Plaza immediately drew the attention of many.

When Chen Qingzhu arrived before Qin Heng and respectfully saluted him, the surrounding crowd was even more shocked. They stared at Qin Heng in disbelief, almost thinking they were hallucinating.

"Who is this young man that Chen Qingzhu is treating with such respect?!"

"Incredible! It's truly unbelievable!"

Very few people knew of the relationship between Qin Heng and Chen Qingzhu. Witnessing this scene, everyone was extremely shocked; it was beyond their wildest imagination.

"Mr. Qin, this is all of Dongpu District's road surveillance footage from the last hour," Chen Qingzhu said, handing a video player to Qin Heng.

"Good." Qin Heng took the player and swept it with his Divine Sense.

In an instant, all the stored data transformed into images. He finished watching all the footage and now knew which car had kidnapped Xia Shuang.

For Cultivators, finding someone has never been a difficult task.

Qin Heng then handed Wu Yuqing to Chen Qingzhu and promptly left Changtai Plaza. He applied the Stealth Technique, levitated into the air, and flew northwest.

Hong Zhenhai was currently driving, heading northwest on the outskirts of Dongpu District.

With Qin Heng's speed, it took him less than three minutes to catch up.

He remained invisible in the sky, gazing down at the Land Rover below. With his Divine Sense, he could see inside the vehicle.

There were four people in the front: two men and two women.

Among them, three clearly looked as if they were from Southeast Asia, with facial features different from Chinese people. The one driving had the appearance of a pure Chinese man, likely Hong Guchen's father, Hong Zhenhai.

Xia Shuang was in the trunk, her hands and feet bound and a cloth stuffed in her mouth.

Her clothes were intact, and there were no visible injuries; it seemed she hadn't been harmed.

However, her expression was full of fear, tears streamed down her face, and her whole body shook. She was terrified to the extreme.

Qin Heng was about to make a move, but then his phone rang again.

The call connected. It was Hong Zhenhai's voice.

"Qin Xuantian, it's been half an hour already. Do you have any clues?" Hong Zhenhai spoke with extreme arrogance. "Don't panic. I know you're slow, so I gave you three hours. You still have two and a half hours left. If you can't find us in the remaining time, it just means you're a piece of garbage, incompetent! Then prepare to collect the corpse of the little girl in the trunk!"

"Hong Zhenhai, if you had stayed in Nanyang, I wouldn't have bothered to kill you. But you actually dared to come for me—that's a death wish!" Qin Heng's voice was as cold as ice, filled with murderous intent.

"HAHAHA! Qin Xuantian! Who do you think you are?! If this were Nanyang, I would blow you to smithereens right now!" Hong Zhenhai's voice was overwhelming with killing intent.

"Qin Xuantian, you first killed my father, Hong Tianshu, and then my son, Hong Guchen. This is an irreconcilable feud! I'm going to make you taste the agony of losing loved ones, make you wish you were dead!

"Do you think I came to China for fun? I'm here to torture you to death, you little beast! To make you beg for mercy like a dying dog in front of me! To let you know who I, Hong Zhenhai, am, and that you cannot provoke the Hong family! My father wanted to kill you! My son wanted to kill you! You should have just let them kill you! You not only fought back but also killed them. That is unforgivable! I will show you what the world's cruelest retaliation is! HAHAHAHA!

"Little beast, hurry up and look for us! Right now, that little girl is unharmed, but who knows what might happen later? My two men here are already drooling over her!"

"General! Why don't we stop the car first and have some fun with that little girl? We didn't get our hands on her when we tied her up; we didn't even touch her."

"Exactly, General! Look at that little girl's looks and body—both are top-notch! I'm so turned on just looking at her. I really want to have her right now! HAHAHA!"

Arrogant murmurs came from the phone; it was Hong Zhenhai's two soldiers laughing, drooling over Xia Shuang.

"HAHAHA! Qin Xuantian, did you hear that?! I'll give you another half hour!" Hong Zhenhai's voice was unmistakably full of laughter. "In another half hour, if you haven't found us, I'll let my two soldiers have their way with that little girl and even shoot a video for you to see! HAHAHAHA!"

"WHIMPER! WHIMPER! WHIMPER!" Xia Shuang, in the trunk, could also hear their words. Already engulfed in fear, she was now even more terrified, tears flowing non-stop, her expression showing growing despair.

Finding them in three hours was originally an extremely difficult task. Now, the time had been reduced to an hour, and with half an hour already gone, only half an hour remained! What to do?! What to do?!

Xia Shuang's mouth was gagged; she couldn't even cry out loud, only able to make whimpering noises.

Hong Zhenhai even moved the phone closer so Xia Shuang's whimpering could be heard. He laughed loudly, "HAHAHA! Qin Xuantian! Do you hear that? Don't her struggles and cries sound great?! Rest assured, I'll livestream the video of her being taken later and let you listen to even more wonderful sounds! Qin Xuantian! Are you in pain? Are you angry? I'm so damn happy! HAHAHAHA!"

BOOM!

Just then, the road ahead suddenly shook violently, as if a meteor had fallen from the sky. A figure descended and stood in front of the Land Rover.

The entire road cracked. Countless pebbles and fragments of the road surface were blasted into the air, hitting the Land Rover, making a PITTER-PATTER sound.

The shattered ground also caused the Land Rover to bounce violently, rocking the passengers inside and completely blurring their vision, making them unable to see clearly what was happening in front.

Qin Heng lifted his palm and pressed it directly onto the speeding Land Rover!

BOOM!

Amidst a thunderous roar, Qin Heng pressed the front of the Land Rover, causing it to collapse. The engine completely failed, and he forced the vehicle to a stop, looking at the shocked expressions of the people inside.

His eyes narrowed, his voice ice-cold.

"You really want to die, don't you? Then have it your way! Die!"
