Chapter 488 - 488: Big Boss Qin’s Enemies Spread Across the World – Part 3

“It’s unlikely,” Qin Lu reasoned. “Qin Zhixiu came to China this time with the intention of controlling you to manipulate me. The information An Muyao gave him made him believe that you were already under his control. He came in a hurry, and apart from the eight bodyguards who accompanied him, he didn’t notify anyone else.”

“Qin Zhixiu isn’t that loyal to the temple. He wants to gain control of the Qin family for his own benefit and won’t merge it into the temple. So, he would only keep this from the other saints and the temple’s leader.”

“I suspect he left a backup plan before.”

Qin Lu leaned more towards the idea that someone who held a grudge against Qin Zhixiu had taken advantage of the situation to kidnap him, intending to use him as leverage and establish cooperation between the two sides to deal with Qin Lu.

However, he didn’t share these speculations with Nan Yan. He didn’t want to burden her with more worries. She already had enough on her plate.

“Okay, as long as he hasn’t left China too quickly, we should be able to track his whereabouts.”

In the age of information, finding someone’s hiding place was a straightforward task for her.

“No rush, let’s go rescue Wu Yue and the others first.”

The situation for Wu Yue’s group was far from ideal.

The car they were driving had overturned on the side of the road. The car’s windows were covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and there was a bullet hole on top. The vehicle was almost hermetically sealed.

While they were driving, someone had suddenly fired a poisonous gas grenade into their car. The toxic gas rapidly spread, causing them to inhale it while breathing. By the time they realized something was wrong, the poison had already taken effect, and even attempting to hold their breath was futile.

After the abductors took Qin Zhixiu and An Muyao, they closed the car doors. The toxic substances inside the vehicle continued to release, and the toxins within them kept increasing.

Some of them couldn’t bear the intense toxicity and had already lost consciousness.

Qin Lu parked the car beside the overturned vehicle, adjusted the angle, and then rammed it directly.

Using some clever maneuvering, they managed to flip the overturned car back into its normal position.

After getting out of the car, Nan Yan quickly opened all four car doors and said to Qin Lu, “Brother, don’t come closer yet. Let the toxins inside the car dissipate.”

As for herself, being a doctor, she needed to identify the type of poison and capturing some toxic gas was necessary.

“Miss Nan…” Wu Yue managed to open his eyes with great difficulty, called out, but then passed out again.

He had been struggling to stay conscious, nearly biting his tongue in the process, and could only manage to hold on for a moment longer when he saw the Young Master and Miss Nan arriving.

After taking in a bit of the toxic gas herself, Nan Yan held her breath and began checking Wu Yue’s pulse while simultaneously analyzing the severity of the toxicity she had just breathed in.

After checking Wu Yue’s pulse, she went on to check the pulses of the other guards. Once she had examined them all, she retrieved a small bottle from her pocket and gave each of them a pill.

When the toxic gas had dissipated enough, Qin Lu approached Nan Yan and asked, “Yanyan, how are they?”

Nan Yan’s voice was slightly solemn as she replied, “The toxicity is quite potent. If we had been ten minutes later, they would have been in life-threatening danger.”

Their captors had clearly intended to take the lives of Wu Yue and the others.

However, they hadn’t anticipated that Wu Yue would have the willpower to remain conscious long enough to make a call to Qin Lu, ultimately saving them.

“Take them directly to my grandfather’s place; my Master is there, and it will be easier to save them.”

“Okay..”
