Unfortunately, when the bodyguards ran downstairs, only the black-robed man was standing there. As the black-robed man looked at the intact seal, any emotion that might have been on his face was obscured by his black hat. 

“It seems that the woman is not simple,” he mused, then immediately removed the seal. He got into his own car and quickly disappeared.

“That person is really not ordinary.” Back when he’d been fighting Liu Qingcang, he had already left his aura on him, but at the end, he couldn’t sense Qingcang’s aura at all, which was why he’d left in such a hurry.

He couldn’t have known that the moment he left, Yan Xin and Qingcang would appear where the black-robed man was standing just now.

“That was terrifying,” Qingcang spat out with a pale face, then looked at his shoulder that was dyed red with blood.

It was a good thing that Yan Xin had arrived in time, or he would have died from blood loss even if that mysterious man hadn’t killed him. That suffocating feeling was far too terrifying.

“Mm, it’s alright now.” Yan Xin’s light words immediately soothed his heart, and he took a deep breath. Fortunately, he had always been calm and clear-headed.

Right now, he was really glad that he had decided to call Yan Xin at the first opportunity he got. If he had called for someone else, he would probably have lost his life here today.

“Let’s go back first. We’ll talk later.” he finally said. He really hadn’t been prepared to face that fellow directly. At that time, he had thought that even if he couldn’t beat him, he could still find an opportunity to escape, but who could’ve known that escape was futile?

“Did you open the bottle?” Yan Xin asked. She simply couldn’t understand how that man had managed to find and corner Qingcang. Generally, her kind would abide by the laws of the world; unless they had no other choice, they wouldn’t harm a mortal. Sure, they could injure the other party, but not in any way that could be fatal. 

In response, Qingcang shook his head and said, “No, you said not to open it, so I didn’t dare to touch it at all. Moreover, I’ve already returned the pill to that middle-aged man. At the moment, no one else knows that I’m the one who gave it to him.” He felt a little depressed; he had come to see this old building today so that he could prepare to take over it. He had even brought his secretary along to inspect it. But suddenly, the atmosphere had suddenly become terrifying and that man had appeared before them. 

“This won’t do; I’m very curious about this person. I need to think of a way to see where he came from.” Yan Xin felt that this person was similar to her, yet at the same time, not. She was really curious. Moreover, this person’s powerful aura made her want to quickly become stronger; she didn’t like feeling that she could be threatened at any moment.

“Then what should we do? This person is so terrifying. If an ordinary person were to face him, it would be very difficult for them to win.” After facing the mysterious person, Qingcang realized that the assassination attempts he had encountered previously were simply incomparable to what had happened this time.

Hearing that, Yan Xin suddenly said, “I’ll think of a way. However, now you have his aura on your body. It’s very serious, so don’t move recklessly for the time being.” 

“Then why don’t you protect me? I can pay you if you’d like.” Qingcang said quickly. It was hard to find such a powerful bodyguard, after all. 

“Okay, but you can’t go back to the Yan family with me. I have to go back and get my things first. Also, I have a list, so kindly get someone to help me find the things on it.”

When Yan Xin arrived at the Liu family’s villa, she had already made a bunch of requests to him, but at this time, he felt that it was more important to find out the background of the mysterious person.

He was not a person who cherished his life, he just did not like the idea of having a ticking time bomb around him.

“If I can’t get to the bottom of this, can you take care of him?” After entering the villa, he looked at the petite girl in front of him who was swaying back and forth, her ponytail bobbing about.

“For now, I need some information from him. Help me find those things first, and then I’ll lure him here.” After saying that, Yan Xin turned around. “Get the driver to send me to the Yan family. I want to get my things..”
