Chapter 136: Qin Xuan Lets Out a Curse

Qin Xuan sped along, soon tracking the commotion to a larger private room nearby.

He could hear shouts of rage and sharp cries, which made his heart sink. He was almost certain that this was where the trouble was. Who on earth would dare to open fire inside Jinling University? And those two large vans—how had the campus security let them in?

With these questions swirling in his mind, Qin Xuan reached the door and delivered a heavy kick!

*Bang!*

With a thunderous crash, the door was smashed open, leaving a gaping hole while the remains of the panel collapsed inward. Qin Xuan peered inside, his gaze turning icy.

The room was in total disarray. Most of the boys from the Business Class 1 were lying on the floor, while the girls stood by, paralyzed with terror. A group of about ten men in black, led by a man in a suit, were preparing to exit.

Dongfang Qingwan, the person Qin Xuan was most concerned about, was being held by three of the men in black.

Qin Xuan’s sudden appearance at the door caught everyone by surprise.

"Qin Xuan is here!" some of the girls whispered, their faces a mix of relief and dread. The boys on the floor were so severely injured they were barely conscious and unaware of his arrival.

Suddenly, a splash of bright red caught Qin Xuan's eye. He focused and saw Zhou Xiaoyu huddled by a table, his face twisted in agony, clutching his leg. Blood was steadily seeping through his fingers—he had been shot.

"Xiaoyu!" Qin Xuan felt a jolt of shock.

The situation was clear: the men had tried to abduct Dongfang Qingwan, the boys had resisted, and Zhou Xiaoyu had been shot in the right leg. It was that very gunshot that had drawn Qin Xuan to the scene.

"Haha. Qin Xuan, I didn't think you'd be so fast." The man in the suit leading the group laughed and began to clap.

*Clap. Clap. Clap.*

The sound grated harshly on Qin Xuan’s ears.

"Who are you? If you want to come for me, do it like a man! Why resort to such cowardly tactics?" Qin Xuan let out a cold snort and prepared to strike.

"Cowardly? If you don't want that little beauty from the Dongfang family to lose her life, you'd better behave!" A fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes, accompanied by a spark of deep-seated hatred, as if Qin Xuan were his mortal enemy.

At his command, the three men holding Dongfang Qingwan pulled out pistols and pointed them at her head.

"Qingwan!" Qin Xuan cried out, not daring to move.

He glanced at Dongfang Qingwan and saw she was trembling violently, tears streaming down her face. Any ordinary person would be terrified to have three guns pointed at their head, let alone a girl like her. Her tears were for the boys like Zhou Xiaoyu. If they hadn't fought to protect her, she would have been taken long ago; if they hadn't stalled the attackers, she might never have seen Qin Xuan again.

"Haha! Qin Xuan, I never thought you'd see this day." The man in the suit laughed again, pulling a Type 54 pistol from his jacket and aiming it at Qin Xuan.

"Don't even think about moving. I’ll give you two choices." The man seemed confident, gesturing with his pistol. "Either stand there and die, and I won't touch the others. Or try to move, and I'll blow that little girl's head open right now!"

The girls screamed in terror.

"Qingwan!"

"Qin Xuan!"

"Shut up!" The man fired a shot into the wall, silencing them instantly.

"You want my life that badly?" Qin Xuan suddenly smiled.

"Of course. Well? Have you made your choice?" The hatred in the man's eyes grew more intense.

"Sigh. Since I'm going to die anyway, can you tell me who you are?" Qin Xuan sighed.

He had no intention of throwing his life away, but he would not let them harm Dongfang Qingwan. With his abilities, he could save her from three gunmen. He was stalling to lower their guard and to find out their identity.

The man in the suit laughed. "Qin Xuan, are you really going to sacrifice yourself for that little beauty? Even if you die for her, she’ll belong to another man later. You won't be the one to enjoy her. Besides, if you die, what if I don't keep my word? That little beauty makes such a good hostage, ha ha ha."

A dark glint appeared in Qin Xuan's eyes; he hadn't expected the man to be so vile. He nearly lost control but held back, sighing with feigned sadness. "Sigh. In this situation, do I have any choice but to listen to you? I can't just stand by and watch Dongfang Qingwan die. But I still want to know who I'm dying at the hands of."

"Haha, you're a smart one." The man laughed. "Let me ask you, since you're willing to die for this girl, what is your relationship?"

Qin Xuan frowned slightly—this guy was so long-winded. He refrained from lashing out, and to further convince the man that he was willing to sacrifice himself, he looked at Dongfang Qingwan and said, "She is my one and only. After you kill me, you must let her go. That is my only request—I just want to know who killed me."

Dongfang Qingwan was stunned, staring blankly at Qin Xuan. Was he telling the truth? Some of the girls nearby were moved to tears, as if watching a tragic movie.

"Haha, how touching!" The man in the suit waved his gun, his eyes gleaming with the thrill of impending revenge. "Then what about that girl, Liu Qianqian? What is she to you? Haha, don't try any tricks; that girl is surely in our hands by now too. I'll only let one of these two beauties live. You choose, haha!"

He hated Qin Xuan to the bone and wanted him to suffer as much as possible before death. To him, this choice was worse than death itself.

Unfortunately, Qin Xuan’s expression became rather odd. They had captured Liu Qianqian? With nothing but these thugs and a few cheap guns?

Qin Xuan nearly laughed. He pointed at Dongfang Qingwan and answered impatiently, "I want her to live. Can you tell me who you are now?"

The man laughed again. "You want to know who I am? Stand still and let me break your legs, then I'll tell you!"

He intended to cripple Qin Xuan first, then take him away to torture him slowly, perhaps even violating the girls in front of him to maximize his vengeance.

Finally, Qin Xuan had reached his limit. He just wanted a name; why all the talk? If the man wouldn't say it, he would use force to make him.

"Damn it!"

Even Qin Xuan couldn't help but curse. With a swift slide of his feet, he lunged toward where Dongfang Qingwan was being held!
