ingly. Liu Yunman closed the door and sat down on the sofa無力地坐在沙發上，用手揉著腦袋，真是頭疼啊。with her hands massaging her head, truly feeling a headache."Aunt, can you tell me what happened when Xia Tian treated y...Chapter 314: Killing and Being Killed

A flash of silver appeared, and a silver metal rod suddenly emerged, blocking the mature woman's hand. At the same moment, a voice sounded out: "What are you doing"

The one who intervened was the thin man; at this moment, he was looking at the mature woman with suspicion, his eyes showing some disbelief.

The mature woman nonchalantly retracted her hand and straightened up, facing the thin man calmly. She said: "I was checking on their condition."

"Then why do you have a blade in your hand" The thin man continued to watch the mature woman guardedly.

The mature woman looked astonished: "A blade You must be mistaken!"

After saying this, she even extended her hand before the thin man's face and opened her palm. She then asked again: "Where is the blade"

The thin man felt somewhat perplexed; could it really be that he had made a mistake

"And how are they Are they okay" The thin man asked, looking at the mature woman. Although he was somewhat suspicious, ultimately, he didn't take it to heart, for this woman was his colleague and had been watching over Xia Tian on Mei'er's behalf; logically speaking, she wouldn't do anything harmful to Xia Tian.

"She seems to have fainted. I haven't had a chance to take a closer look yet, why don't you go and check" the mature woman replied.

The skinny man nodded his head; out of suspicion towards the mature woman, he decided it would be better for him to check personally. He immediately recognized that the male and female on the ground were Xia Tian and Mu Han who had just survived an explosion but appeared completely unscathed with their clothes still intact, which could indeed be considered a miracle.

The skinny man walked over to where they were, crouched down, intending to take a closer look when suddenly his instincts kicked in, sensing a murderous aura coming from behind him.

Without turning back, he quickly dodged to the left side, trying to avoid an attack from behind.

A cold blade stabbed into his body instantly; excruciating pain followed. The skinny man felt all strength being drained out of his body as if life was slipping away rapidly. He barely managed not to collapse and turned around slowly, looking at the mature woman, "You... you really wanted to kill them..."

"Hou Xiaqi, you should have pretended that you didn’t see anything," the mature woman coldly looked at Hou Xiaqi, "I don't want to kill you. But you leave me no choice."

"Why did you do this" Hou Xiaqi still couldn't figure out her motives but quickly realized something else, "Pang Juan, was it you who planted the bomb Last night when I went to the bathroom, you took that chance and put the bomb in Mu Han’s car. Did I guess correctly"

The mature woman named Pang Juan suddenly flung a hand out; a cold star-like projectile shot out and struck one of the approaching guards with an extremely short but sharp cry before he fell to the ground.

"Hou Xiaqi, you’ve realized too late," Pang Juan said coldly. "In consideration of our past relationship, I will make your death more comfortable."

Saying this, Pang Juan lunged at Hou Xiaqi, with a razor blade held between her two fingers, striking at Hou Xiaqi's throat like lightning.

"The boss won't let you get away with it..." Hou Xiaqi tried to dodge but found himself unable to move his limbs; he simply did not have the strength to evade Pang Juan's swift attack.

"Eh..." A cry of pain rang out as blood splattered.

"You, you..." Pang Juan managed only two words before she could say no more. Blood gushed from her slashed throat as life quickly drained from her body; in the next second, she fell to the ground, gone forever from this world.

Hou Xiaqi stared blankly at Pang Juan's once-vibrant mature body now turned cold and still. A moment ago, he had thought himself certain to die, but just a second later, he realized that his would-be killer was truly dead while he remained alive—this all because of one person.

"You—you're not hurt" Hou Xiaqi looked at Xia Tian standing in front of him, somewhat disbelieving.

"Of course I'm fine." Xia Tian walked up to Hou Xiaqi and injected a few needles into his body. "Since you tried to help me just now, I'll save your life this once. Now that I'm done here, you can enjoy yourself for a while!"

With these words, Xia Tian carried Mu Han away quickly; to him, killing someone was no big deal.

Hou Xiaqi watched as Xia Tian disappeared into the parking lot and looked at Pang Juan's body. Suddenly, he felt his strength returning and the pain in his body seemingly disappearing. Without time to ponder why, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's villa. Zhao Qingqing was lying on the sofa in the living room, looking completely exhausted.

"Qingqing, why haven't you come up yet" Liu Meng's unhappy voice came from upstairs. "It took you almost half an hour just to go to the bathroom!"

"Sis Meng, I have diarrhea and nearly collapsed from it. Let me rest for a bit," Zhao Qingqing said feebly. Even she, who was obsessed with martial arts, felt exhausted after Liu Meng's relentless training. It had to be admitted that Liu Meng was truly formidable.

"Then hurry up and eat something! Once you're full, come upstairs!" Liu Meng shouted from above.

"Alright, Sis Meng, I'll go find something to eat," Zhao Qingqing responded weakly.

But the next second, Zhao Qingqing perked up instantly and jumped off the sofa. "Master, you're back!"

Summer had just returned, but he ignored Zhao Qingqing and continued upstairs with Mu Han in his arms.

"Wow, Master, you guys were too intense! Did you knock Sis Han out" Zhao Qingqing exclaimed dramatically.

There was a moment when Summer felt like knocking Zhao Qingqing out as well. How could she make such absurd statements Mu Han had indeed fainted, but it wasn't because of him; it was due to the bomb.

In fact, as soon as Xia Tian got into the car during summer, he smelled some odors that belonged to bomb materials and immediately realized something was wrong. However, before he could warn Mu Han, an explosion occurred. In that instant, he had already picked up Mu Han and quickly left the vehicle. Unfortunately, his actions were a bit too slow; although he used ice and fire spirit energy for protection at the same time, he didn’t manage to shield Mu Han inside as well, causing her to be affected by the shockwave and temporarily knocked out.

As for Xia Tian himself, he never lost consciousness from beginning to end. He actually sensed Pang Juan's murderous intent towards him, but before he could retaliate, Hou Ciqi had already noticed it first.

The reason why he was lying on the ground at that time was because, although he didn’t lose consciousness, enduring such a sudden and intense explosion even from several meters away still left some impact. At that moment, he was rapidly circulating his ice and fire spirit energy just to dispel any discomfort in his body.

However, despite being knocked out by the shockwave of the explosion, Mu Han's injuries were not severe. Nevertheless, Xia Tian still felt uneasy about the parking lot’s safety, so he brought her back first and revived her.

"Master, Master, is it really that fun You made Senior Sister Han pass out from playing with you; did you guys play all night" Zhao Qingqing followed up with a curious expression.

Xia Tian glared at her unhappily: "You’ll know if it’s fun after you try it yourself!"

"Okay, then Master, when are we going to go and play" Zhao Qingqing asked excitedly.

Xia Tian felt rather depressed: "I didn’t say I want to play with you."

"Master, don't be like this. I’m your future little wife; who else am I supposed to play with if not you Besides, Master, I'm nowhere near as promiscuous as you are; I’m very devoted!" Zhao Qingqing said quickly.

Looking at Mu Han, who was still unconscious, Xia Tian decided to ignore Zhao Qingqing, the girl with nonsensical talk. He quickly carried Mu Han into the bedroom and shut the door.

"What’s wrong I’m willing to play [the game] with you guys, yet you don’t want me! This is so unreasonable! It’s discrimination!" Zhao Qingqing mumbled against the door, looking very dissatisfied.

"Qingqing, have you eaten" At this moment, Liu Meng's voice sounded again.

Startled, Zhao Qingqing quickly said, "Sis Meng, wait a second! I’m eating right now!"

The originally protesting Zhao Qingqing dared not stay upstairs anymore and hurriedly ran downstairs to look for food in the fridge. Training with that savage Sis Meng was too exhausting; she needed to eat more.

Opening her eyes, Mu Han saw a familiar room and momentarily froze. After a while, she said, "Husband, are we dead"

"Pah!" Xia Tian slapped her increasingly round and pert buttocks before saying with some dissatisfaction, "We’re very much alive."

The familiar burning sensation on her butt instantly brought Mu Han back to reality. She knew she wasn’t dead, but she couldn’t figure out how they were still alive since, in her opinion, no matter who was in the car during that explosion, their fate would be sealed.

"Husband, can you tell me what happened How come we didn’t die" Mu Han could not help asking at last.sual self at this moment, even she was surprised; it turned out that this lecherous guy could look serious too.However, Meiyu’s gaze quickly fell onto Xia Tian's hands. Xia Tian's movements were quick...
