They were sitting on a table of a roadside food stall, underneath a makeshift dining table. Qin Yue did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Never could she have imagined that Ye Qian would bring her to eat hotpot. It wasn’t because she was an artificial person or because she only liked foreign food, it was because it was currently summer. Wasn’t this guy afraid of getting too uncomfortably hot while eating hotpot?
Ye Qian and Qin Yue’s arrival had made the food stall owner wild with joy. This person was driving a Lamborghini Murcielago, how could her status be so small? Ordinarily he only got construction workers or hooligans as customers. Today he suddenly got such a person of awe, how could he not be nervous. This type of person, if he did not serve her well, it would be easy for her to force him to close down his business.
When the two people entered, the food stall was just a small group of little hooligans sitting, but the moment they took their seats the group quickly left, looking as if they had seen a ghost. Each of their faces looked terrified. Ye Qian couldn’t help but be a little surprise as he looked at Qin Yue with a stunned expression. Ye Qian knew that these hooligans did not run away in a panic because of himself, then that must mean that they only left because of Qin Yue. It looked like the identity of this yatou was not so simple after all.
Not long after, their food was brought out: fish balls, beef, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and other things were laid out on the table. Ye Qian grinned and immersed himself in eating, like a starving person from Africa that hadn’t eaten in days. Qin Yue stared at Ye Qian in amazement as he ate like a strong wind scattering the clouds, making short work of the food. Her mouth was open in surprise as the words failed to come out of her mouth.
“Well? Why aren’t you eating?” Ye Qian looked at Qin Yue in surprise and said.
“Seeing you eat like this is enough to make me feel full.” Qin Yue said helplessly. “The weather is so hot but you’re eating hotpot, isn’t it too uncomfortable?”
“You don’t understand. Eating hotpot in summer is a different experience.” Ye Qian said, his voice muffled through his mouth stuffed with fishballs. “Hurry and eat, if you don’t eat soon you won’t have any left.”
Qin Yue smiled helplessly and slowly started to eat. Her movement was gentle and elegant. Ye Qian couldn’t recall what great immortal started the saying: watching a beautiful woman eat was a kind of pleasure. Seeing this now, Ye Qian saw that it was not untrue. However, from the start, Ye Qian felt that something was missing. Eating in a food stall, what one wanted was a kind of atmosphere. If she ate slowly and carefully as if she were in a Western restaurant, she wouldn’t be able to feel the atmosphere of the food stall.
“Wa, this is really too spicy. Boss, bring two beers over here.” Ye Qian wiped the sweat off his forehead and called the stall owner.
“What the hell, are you just making trouble for yourself?” Qin Yue said.
Ye Qian grinned but did not argue with her. He poured a glass of beer and drank it up, a comfortable feeling flowed through his body. “Teacher, when we just got here earlier, those little gangsters seemed to be very afraid of you. Why?” Ye Qian asked while he was eating, trying to looking nonchalant.
“How would I know?” Qin Yue replied, as if trying to play the situation down. However, from her expression, it was apparent that she knew why and simply did not want to say.
Ye Qian did not pry and only grinned and said, “It must be because they saw that teacher was too beautiful, like an Immortal that descended from the heavens, making them unable to resist the urge to prostrate themselves in worship. So they just decided to leave instead, or else they wouldn’t be able to help kowtowing and, because of such act, would lose face.”
Qin Yue glared at Ye Qian and said, “What a smooth-talking tongue.”
Ye Qian chuckled, but suddenly Ye Qian felt a murderous aura, his brows knitted and his eyes turned towards a dark area behind him. However, he did not see anybody. Then did he just feel wrong? It was such a strong aura, and he could not have felt wrong. The only explanation was that the person had restrained his killing intent.
When she saw that Ye Qian’s expression suddenly became grave, Qin Yue asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing!” Ye Qian laughed and said. However, inwardly he was thinking over who the person with the killing intent could be. Could he be from the Seven Kills? He thought about it and decided it wasn’t likely. The Seven Kills were after Zhao Tian Hao, they would not come after him just because he was interfering. Then who could it be? Is the target himself or was it Qin Yue?
Only the Seven Kills and the Wolf Fang knew that he was back in China. Then the target must be Qin Yue.
Qin Yue looked suspiciously at Ye Qian, apparently she didn’t believe what he just said. Ye Qian only laughed and did not say too much, but his ears were on full alert, carefully distinguishing all the individual sounds behind him. With his senses fully focused, he carefully searched every nook and cranny. Whether the target was himself or Qin Yue, Ye Qian was not going to let that person leave this place alive. The only way he’d live would be if the hitman decided to leave now. For a person who had long term experience of his standing at the edge of death, Ye Qian had very sharp sense, especially in foreseeing danger. It was now an instinct for him. This wasn’t necessarily an ability of every member of the Wolf Fang. According to the ex-leader of the Wolf Fang, Ye Qian had a natural talent for being a mercenary, and he was fore-ordained to be the king of the battlefield.
After a while, the opponent still hadn’t made a move. Aside from withdrawing his killing aura, the opponent had also hidden his breathing and scent, so Ye Qian could not pinpoint his location. Ye Qian couldn’t help but think, if Li Wei were here, the opponent would be unable to escape. This was because Li Wei was an expert tracker and escape artist. Through whatever minor detail or scent, Li Wei would easily be able to find the opponent’s position. This was probably the reason why the Wolf Fang sent him to watch over Ye Qian.
At this moment, the sound of police sirens could be heard. A number of police cars stopped in front of the food stall. Ye Qian watched in astonishment as the police car doors opened. Wang Yun and a group of policemen walked over to him. Looking at this yatou, Ye Qian could only shake his head helplessly, and wondered if even his previous generations had enmity with her ancestors. Every encounter with her was not good.
“Ye Qian, you are the suspect of killing a citizen of China. Please come with us to assist with the investigation.” Wang Yu said with a blank expression as she reached Ye Qian’s side.
