Chapter 262: Caught the Wrong Person
Qin Tuo was well aware that Long Wu’s recent surge in strength was all thanks to the pill he had taken earlier.
Given Long Wu’s constitution, it was impossible for him to fully absorb all of the pill’s medicinal power in such a short time.
But if he went to the hospital now, he’d surely be cut open on the operating table!
By then, its essence would have dissipated, and relying on the pill to boost his strength again would become incredibly difficult.
So Qin Tuo decided to save Long Wu himself before heading off to rescue Lin Yushu.
Qin Tuo thought to himself, ’Good thing I took some Ice Spring Water from Ice Spring Mountain before I left and stored it in my ring. Now it will finally come in handy.’
Once they were back at the hotel, he immediately checked on Long Wu’s condition.
Everyone else stood by anxiously, hardly daring to breathe.
After a quick examination, Qin Tuo’s expression darkened.
It turned out several of Long Wu’s ribs were broken. It was clear his attacker had been ruthless.
"How vicious! To use such immense force to shatter his bones and even damage some of his meridians..."
Qin Tuo’s eyes narrowed. Anyone who knew him would have heard the intense killing intent in his tone.
Qin Tuo knew full well that even with his power at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, he couldn’t fully heal broken bones with Spiritual Power alone.
Fortunately, thanks to the medicinal properties of the Ice Spring Water, Qin Tuo at least had a way to improve Long Wu’s condition.
Immediately, Qin Tuo used the Celestial King Order to transform the Ice Spring Water into a vast amount of Spiritual Power, which he gradually channeled into Long Wu’s body.
The Spiritual Power began to rapidly heal Long Wu’s injuries, and the few people watching were utterly dumbfounded, staring as if they were witnessing a deity at work.
They felt that Qin Tuo’s methods were beyond human comprehension—it was nothing short of a miracle!
Qin Tuo focused intently, channeling the pure Spiritual Power converted from the Ice Spring Water into Long Wu.
Gradually, Long Wu’s eyebrows twitched. He was responding.
A short while later, Long Wu regained consciousness.
"Celestial King, I’m sorry to have troubled you..."
A wry smile touched Long Wu’s lips.
Qin Tuo shook his head and gently patted Long Wu’s shoulder.
"Long Wu, you’re injured. Don’t worry about anything. Just focus on resting and recovering here."
Long Wu gave a slight nod, saying no more.
He was indeed incredibly weak; even speaking a few more words sent waves of discomfort through his entire body.
Nearby, both Zhou Qihua and Lin Yuyan stared with wide eyes.
They stared at Qin Tuo as if he were a god.
They would never forget the scene they had just witnessed!
After exchanging a few more words with Long Wu, Qin Tuo turned to leave, ready to head to the Provincial City to rescue Lin Yushu.
Just then, Chen Man Ni spoke up, her voice full of concern:
"Qin Tuo, you have to be extremely careful. You’re going up against the Provincial City Jiang Family. If things take a bad turn, don’t be reckless!"
Chen Man Ni had already lost her cousin; she couldn’t bear the thought of Qin Tuo also falling into their clutches.
Qin Tuo nodded and said gravely,
"Manni, don’t worry. A trifling family like the Jiangs is no match for me!"
His words were so overwhelmingly dominant that Zhou Qihua and Lin Yuyan were left speechless.
’The Provincial City Jiang Family is a clan whose very name strikes fear into people’s hearts, yet to Qin Tuo, they seem utterly insignificant?’
But remembering the miraculous display they had just witnessed, they instinctively believed that if Qin Tuo said he could do it, he could.
At that moment, Qin Tuo’s eyes blazed with killing intent.
He hadn’t wanted to get entangled with the Jiang Family, hoping to let the matter de-escalate and fade away.
But he never expected the Jiang Family to keep harassing them relentlessly. Today, they had nearly succeeded in kidnapping Chen Man Ni.
If Lin Yushu hadn’t heroically intervened at the critical moment, Chen Man Ni would already be imprisoned by the Jiang Family, subjected to who knows what kind of inhuman treatment.
And because of that, Qin Tuo had to rescue Lin Yushu quickly.
Lin Yushu had saved Chen Man Ni’s life; how could Qin Tuo bear to let her die at the hands of the Jiang Family?
’So be it, Jiang Family. Since you’ve chosen this path, I’ll make you pay the price!’
Soon, Qin Tuo was driving into the Provincial City.
He only had to ask around briefly to learn the location of the Jiang Family Villa.
After all, the Jiang Family’s influence in the Provincial City was at its peak; almost everyone knew of them.
Finding the location of the Jiang Family’s den was a simple matter.
’Jiang Family... just you wait. I, Qin Tuo, am coming for you!’
Qin Tuo’s gaze was as cold and grim as if he had just walked out of hell.
This time, he would show no mercy. He would end this entanglement, swiftly and completely.
...
「Jiang Family Villa.」
Liao Baicheng burst in, his men in tow.
He dragged Lin Yushu in with one hand, his face beaming with excitement.
"Jiang Liang, look! Your uncle caught that Chen Man Ni for you. Now you can do whatever you want with her!"
Liao Baicheng said cheerfully, hoping to lift Jiang Liang’s spirits.
An ecstatic expression instantly lit up Jiang Liang’s face as he eagerly looked up.
The next moment, however, his face fell in disappointment.
"Oh, Jiang Liang, what’s with that look?"
Liao Baicheng was confused.
Jiang Liang just shook his head, a look of exasperation on his face.
"Uncle, this woman isn’t Chen Man Ni. You caught the wrong person."
At this, Liao Baicheng flew into a rage.
"Damn you, bitch! Who are you? How dare you impersonate Chen Man Ni?"
Lin Yushu’s expression was glacial.
"Heh. I’m not Chen Man Ni. My name is Lin Yushu!"
With that, Lin Yushu closed her eyes, ready to die.
Only then did Liao Baicheng realize he’d grabbed the wrong person. He looked utterly embarrassed.
"Well, in that case, Jiang Liang, just be patient a little longer. I’ll take care of this woman first."
With that, Liao Baicheng prepared to drag Lin Yushu away.
But Jiang Liang quickly interjected,
"Uncle, this woman is just too beautiful. Since she’s already here, it would be a waste to get rid of her. She can stay and keep me company!"
Seeing the lecherous smile plastered on Jiang Liang’s face, Lin Yushu felt her blood run cold.
She wasn’t afraid to die, but she was terrified of being defiled in such a way.
Liao Baicheng, however, frowned and couldn’t help but comment.
"Jiang Liang, you’re still injured. You shouldn’t overdo it. Besides, if your mother finds out about this, she’ll be furious."
At the mention of his mother, Liao Zhiyun, Jiang Liang couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fear.
But by now, lust had clouded his judgment, and he insisted,
"Don’t worry, Uncle. It’ll be fine as long as you don’t tell my mom, right?"
