It took her a few minutes to walk to the gazebo.

  When she entered the gazebo, she found that it was very cooling inside. It was not as hot as outside.

  No wonder Gu Yan was so comfortable sitting here.

  She walked to sit across from Gu Yan. The table was made of mahogany. The surface was smooth. It was a comfortable place to sit at.

  Gu Yan picked up a teapot, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Qin Shu. “Have a cup of tea first.”


  “Thank you.” Qin Shu thanked him. She picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip. She could not tell anything else other than it tasted very good.

  Gu Yan looked up at Qin Shu, and his voice was filled with confusion. “Didn’t I make it very clear yesterday? Why are you here today?”


  Qin Shu put down the tea in her hand and said, “Haven’t you failed to get any results yet? Tell me the medicinal properties of the missing herb. I’ll go look for it when I have time. Maybe I’ll find it in the capital.”


  “Okay.” Gu Yan didn’t refuse Qin Shu when he saw that she wanted to know. He took out a pen and paper from a secret compartment under the table and wrote down the missing herb and its medicinal properties.

  Gu Yan was handsome. He was that sort of wealthy young master who was gentle and refined. His personality was the complete opposite of Fu Tingyu.

  Maybe it was because he studied medicine. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, and he was very patient in handling everything.

  He seemed very at home even when he was writing. He gave off a vibe that made others feel comfortable.

  “Okay, don’t be too anxious.” Gu Yan put down the pen and handed the paper to Qin Shu.

  Qin Shu took the paper and glanced at it. She memorized the medicinal properties on the paper before folding the sheet of paper and putting it in her backpack.

  Gu Yan picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. He looked at Qin Shu’s actions. She seemed to have taken this matter to heart.

  After Qin Shu put away the paper, she looked up at Gu Yan and said, “You must be very busy lately. I shan’t disturb you.”


  Gu Yan nodded. “Okay, take care.”


  Qin Shu nodded at Gu Yan and stood up to leave.

  When she left the gazebo, she was hit by a wave of heat, causing her face to flush. She continued forward with her eyes slightly cold.

  Just then, she heard the soft sound of footsteps behind her and slowed down. Then, she heard the sound of a bullet hitting her flesh. She swung her head back and saw Gu Yan, who had been drinking tea, passed out on his seat with his head tilted to the side and his eyes tightly shut.

  Before she could react, she saw dozens of men in black uniforms running quickly from the back of the gazebo.

  These people were fast, and it was obvious that they had been specially trained.

  She thought of how Gu Yan had been captured by the people from the Crimson Sand Organization. Could these people be from the Crimson Sand Organization as well?

  Qin Shu had no time to think about all that. The most important thing now was to save Gu Yan. This was not only because Gu Yan was Fu Tingyu’s friend, but also because there was no one else but Gu Yan who could cure Fu Tingyu of his poisoning.

  Perhaps others would think that she was selfish to think of that at such a critical time.

  Nothing could happen to Fu Tingyu. He was the most important person in her life.

  Therefore, because of the two reasons mentioned before, nothing could happen to Gu Yan.

  By this time, dozens of men in black had already surrounded them. These men were all tall and sturdy.

  Two of the men in black had already walked towards Gu Yan and were trying to take him away with them.

  And they did not seem to take a woman seriously. Because in their eyes, the woman who was running towards them was like an ant they could easily kill with a flick of their fingers.

  Qin Shu had only come to visit Gu Yan today to ask him some questions. She did not know that something like this would happen.

  Moreover, the bodyguards from the villa were not here.

  Qin Shu saw that those people did not seem to think much of her, which gave her a chance to prepare.

  There was a large flower bed beside the pavilion. Usually, there would be stones and pebbles in flower beds.

  She walked over quickly and bent down. She reached into the flower bed and searched for a while before finding a few pebbles.

  At this time, the man in black noticed Qin Shu’s movements and walked over in confusion.

  Qin Shu clenched the pebbles in her hands tightly and did not rush to stand up. When the man in black approached, she suddenly stood up and lifted her leg to kick the abdomen of the man in black.

  Qin Shu used all her strength in this kick. It was fast, accurate, and especially fierce. It was also to prevent the opponent from having any strength left to fight back.

  The man in black saw that the girl appeared to be thin and weak, so he did not think much of her. He did not expect her to be a martial arts practitioner?

  Moreover, Qin Shu’s kick had almost torn through his intestines. The intense pain made the man’s face twist. He could not even cry out in pain. His knees went soft and he knelt on the ground, unable to react for a long time.

  Qin Shu did not care about the man after she kicked him. Instead, she quickly ran to Gu Yan’s side.

  As she ran, she used the pebbles in her hand to hit the two men in black who were trying to take Gu Yan away.

  The pebbles were of moderate weight. When Qin Shu used all her strength to throw the pebbles, there were two gusts of wind. The sound of air being torn apart could be heard. The pebbles hit the two men’s foreheads at the same time. Hitting them at that spot would cause them to be unconscious for a short while.

  There were a total of ten men in black at the scene. None of them had expected that a weak girl would be so fierce. She did not show any mercy at all.

  Three of the men in black had taken care of in just the blink of an eye.

  It also shocked the remaining seven men in black. After a short moment of surprise, they became vigilant.

  But to them, seven of them dealing with a little girl could be said to be a piece of cake.

  Qin Shu stood tall less than three meters away from them, her clear eyes sizing up the seven men in front of her.

  What was certain was that they had guns, because Gu Yan had been hit by a bullet that had a tranquilizing effect.

  If they wanted to kill Gu Yan, they didn’t have to show themselves. They could solve the problem with just one shot. However, they wanted to take Gu Yan with them. That meant that they still had a use for Gu Yan.

  Gu Yan was safe for now.

  But she wasn’t sure if she could beat them.

  But no matter what, she couldn’t let them take Gu Yan away today.

  The seven of them looked at each other as if they were communicating with their eyes.

  Then, six of the men in black surrounded Qin Shu.

  The other man in black took out a very small tranquilizer gun from his pocket. The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Qin Shu. He pulled the trigger and fired at her. This was a silent tranquilizer gun.

  Thus, when the bullet was fired, there was no sound and only a wisp of green smoke at the muzzle.

  When Qin Shu saw the man pick up the pistol, she paid attention to the actions of the man’s hands. She had already dodged to the side when the man pulled the trigger.

  The six men in black who were coming at her also made their moves.

  Not only did Qin Shu have to dodge the gun, but she also had to deal with the six men in black in front of her. She felt that didn’t have enough hands.

  She had to take each blow as they come.

  Perhaps due to her lack of experience in battle, she was hit by the men in black several times. Every hit she took hurt very badly. She did not even have to look to know that the part where she was hit was covered in bruises.
