Chapter 932 The Unkillable
When she heard this, Zhao Xingyue suddenly burst into tears. Did this man really leave her?
At the same time, the other girls could not speak for sobbing.
The Little Witch said, “No matter who hurt my Little Brother, as long as I catch him, I will cut him into pieces and feed to my demonic beasts!”
Zhao Xingyue glanced fiercely at Xiahou Hongxiang and said in a cold voice, “I, Zhao Xingyue, swear to heaven that I will avenge my Big Brother Qin in this life.”
Since Qin Haodong had been killed here, the Lord of Golden Horse City naturally became the prime suspect.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will definitely send my men to find out the truth!”
Xiahou Hongxiang lowered his head because he feared that he would laugh out loud. Although he said that, he felt very happy in his heart. He had finally avenged his brother and nephew by killing Qin Haodong.
But at this moment, a clear voice said, “What’s wrong? I’ve just been to the toilet. Why are you all crying? Who are you going to avenge?”
Zhao Xingyue turned her head and saw Qin Haodong standing next to her with a smile on his face.
…
“Big Brother Qin, you’re not dead?” Zhao Xingyue said.
“Girl, what nonsense are you spouting? I’m still alive and well. Why would you curse me to die?”
The Little Witch threw herself into Qin Haodong’s arms and pinched his cheek. Then, she turned back and shouted to everyone, “He’s real, not a ghost. My Little Brother is really alive.”
“This girl, rest assured! No matter who dies, I won’t die.”
Seeing the tears on these girls’ faces, Qin Haodong was very moved. Although he had not known them for a long time, these people’s feelings for him were very sincere. They were not faking their sadness at all.
Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin who stood next to him were shocked. They had thought that Qin Haodong would definitely die this time, even without an intact corpse. Unexpectedly, he stood in front of them, alive and well and in one piece.
So many masters of the Ghost King Sect had been dispatched. The original yard had been blown up into big holes. However, they still couldn’t kill him. He was unkillable?
Qin Haodong glanced at Xiahou Hongxiang and said jokingly, “General Xiahou, you don’t seem very happy to see me back. Are you a little disappointed?”
Xiahou Hongxiang had been a Lord for so many years and was a wily old fox. He immediately said with a smile, “Mr. Qin, you must be joking. I was too excited when you came back safely, so it took me some time to recover my wits.”
Jiang Bin also stepped forward to help mediate. “Mr. Qin, what’s going on? What happened here?”
Qin Haodong said, “I don’t know either. I ate too much tonight. Maybe the weather did not agree with me, so I went out to the toilet for a while. Who knew that there would be multiple explosions here?
“When I was in the toilet, my house disappeared. Can anyone tell me what happened!”
Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin’s faces were livid. They knew that Qin Haodong was talking nonsense but they couldn’t do anything about it. They also had no idea what was going on.
At this time, an officer came over with a mask fragment in his hand and said, “General Xiahou, we have checked all the areas and found the mask fragments of the Ghost King Sect. It is very likely that people of the Ghost King Sect had been here.”
Only Jiang Bin knew that Xiahou Hongxiang had colluded with the Ghost King Sect, so the officer naturally had no taboos.
Zhao Xingyue looked at Xiahou Hongxiang coldly and said, “General Xiahou, Golden Horse City is heavily guarded. How did the people of the Ghost King Sect get in? How did they raze this place to the ground?”
Xiahou Hongxiang was slightly embarrassed and replied, “Your Highness, please quell your anger. The men of the Ghost King Sect have always acted secretively. I will investigate this matter immediately. No matter who colluded with Ghost King Sect, he will be severely punished.”
Zhao Xingyue said in a cold voice, “Then why don’t you do it quickly?”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll investigate it right away!”
After that, Xiahou Hongxiang left the courtyard with Jiang Bin in disgrace.
After they left, Zhao Xingyue asked Qin Haodong, “Big Brother Qin, what happened just now? We were almost scared to death.”
“Xiahou Hongxiang colluded with Ghost King Sect to kill me…”
Qin Haodong told her about the attack of the Ghost King Sect but described the explosives as a magic instrument with a self-detonation function.
Hearing what he said, the Little Witch immediately scolded, “This old man is really bad.”
Zhao Xingyue said with a gloomy face, “As a courtier of the Tortoise Kingdom, how dare he collude with Ghost King Sect? I will truthfully report this matter to my father. Then, I will help you vent your anger.”
Tu Jiaojiao said, “I think Xiahou Hongxiang has already made a move on us. He didn’t succeed this time. I’m afraid he might have other tricks up his sleeve. We must be careful.”
Zhao Xingyue nodded and said, “That’s right. We’ll leave Golden Horse City as soon as my father sends his people over.”
The Little Witch said, “Little Brother, this place is no longer habitable. Come back with us.”
Qin Haodong nodded and returned to the courtyard with Zhao Xingyue and the others.
Xiahou Hongxiang took his men out of the gate. Jiang Bin said unwillingly, “The people of Ghost King Sect are really incompetent. They created such a big ruckus and many people died. However, Qin Haodong is still alive now.”
Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy face, “It seems that we underestimated Qin Haodong. This boy is a hundred times more cunning than we thought.”
Jiang Bin said, “General, what should we do next?”
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Don’t worry. We will take action after they leave Golden Horse City. No matter how cunning he is, it’s useless when faced with absolute strength.”
Right at this moment, a figure swiftly flew over. It was one of the guards from the vault.
“General, something bad happened.”
Jiang Bin knew this person and scolded, “It’s late at night. Don’t make such a din.”
The guard was stunned when he saw Jiang Bin and said, “General Jiang Bin, aren’t you in the vault? When did you come out?”
Jiang Bin said, “Nonsense! I’ve always been by General Xiahou’s side. When have I been to the vault?”
“This… I…”
The guard was stunned and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
The vault was Xiahou Hongxiang’s lifeblood. All his valuables were there. Now that the guard of the vault suddenly came over, he felt that something was wrong. He immediately asked anxiously, “Tell me quickly. What’s going on?”
The guard said, “General Xiahou, it’s like this…”
He told Xiahou Hongxiang from the start to the end, how Jiang Bin went to check the vault after the explosions in the city. Finally, he said, “General Jiang Bin entered the vault and never came out. After the Supervisor came out, he said that he was going to the toilet.
“As a result, we haven’t seen him yet. We sent someone to check the toilet but the Supervisor was not there.”
It turned out that the guards of the vault had waited for a long time. However, the Supervisor didn’t come back. Therefore, someone was sent to find the Supervisor but there was no one in the toilet.
They realized that something was wrong, so they quickly sent someone to report this incident to Xiahou Hongxiang.
“General, I’ve been with you all this time. I’ve never been to the vault.”
The vault was extremely important to Golden Horse City. Even if he was Xiahou Hongxiang’s trusted aide, he wouldn’t be able to shoulder the responsibility.
Xiahou Hongxiang immediately realized that someone must have impersonated Jiang Bin and gone to the vault. All his assets gathered all these years were stored in the vault. He immediately shouted, “Let’s go and take a look right now.”
He hurried to the vault with his men. When he entered, he saw that the Supervisor of the vault was lying on the ground in his underwear. All the Spirit Stones in the vault had disappeared, not even a single Spirit Stone was left.
“Bastard!”
Xiahou Hongxiang was furious. The wealth he had accumulated for so many years was gone, which made his heart bleed badly.
At this time, Jiang Bin managed to rouse the Supervisor. However, this guy opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face. He didn’t understand what had happened.
When he saw Xiahou Hongxiang, he asked in astonishment, “General, why are you here?”
Xiahou Xiang slapped him across the face and cursed, “Bastard! Where are my Spirit Stones?”
“General Jiang has checked just now. The Spirit Stones are intact. They are all…”
The Supervisor turned around and found that the warehouse was completely empty. There wasn’t even a single top-level Spirit Stone in sight.
“This… this…” The Supervisor was dumbfounded and immediately knelt on the ground with a plop. “General Xiahou, I really don’t know what’s going on. The Spirit Stones were still here just now. Then I suddenly fainted…”
Speaking of this, he turned to look at Jiang Bin and said, “By the way, General Jiang was here with me. There are only two of us in the vault. He must know about this.”
At this point, he no longer cared whether Jiang Bin was a trusted subordinate of Xiahou Hongxiang. He couldn’t afford to lose so many Spirit Stones.
Under the circumstances, how could Xiahou Hongxiang not understand what had happened? Someone must have pretended to be Jiang Bin, fooled the Supervisor, and taken all the Spirit Stones away.
“Bastard, go to hell!”
In a great rage, Xiahou Hongxiang kicked the Supervisor in the chest and sent him flying. The Supervisor hit the wall of the warehouse hard. His chest caved in. It seemed that he would die soon.
After killing the Supervisor, he was still angry. “Who stole my Spirit Stones? If I catch him, I will cut him into pieces.”
“General, please calm down. Now is not the time to be angry.” Jiang Bin stepped forward and said, “What we need to do now is to get the Spirit Stones back as soon as possible.”
Xiahou Hongxiang questioned, “Tell me. Who stole my Spirit Stones?”
Jiang Bin thought for a moment and said, “General, don’t worry. Let’s analyze it calmly. According to what the guards said just now, someone pretended to be me and came here after the explosions. Qin Haodong could not be found at that time.”
Xiahou Hongxiang said, “Do you mean that Qin Haodong stole the Spirit Stones?”
Jiang Bin said, “He must have done it. General, think about it. Even if the people of Ghost King Sect failed to kill him, he should have stayed in the yard instead of disappearing.
“When that boy was not in the yard, the Spirit Stones in our vault were stolen. There is no doubt that he did it.”
He was somehow involved in this matter. After all, that person who stole the Spirit Stones pretended to be him, so he tried his best to clear his name as soon as possible.
“You’re right. It must be that boy. Let’s go and find him now.”
After Xiahou Hongxiang finished speaking, he returned angrily to the courtyard with a group of subordinates.
Zhao Xingyue and others were sitting and chatting in the living room. Seeing Xiahou Hongxiang returning so quickly, Zhao Xingyue frowned and asked, “General Xiahou, you came back so soon. Did you catch the people of Ghost King Sect?”
Although Xiahou Hongxiang was angry, he still restrained himself in front of Zhao Xingyue.
He said, “Your Highness, someone just pretended to be General Jiang Bin and entered the vault of Golden Horse City. All the Spirit Stones in the vault have been taken away. I came here to arrest the thief.”
Zhao Xingyue’s face suddenly sank. She shouted coldly, “Xiahou Hongxiang, you are so brave! Do you suspect that I have stolen the Spirit Stones?”
