Chapter 176 Qi Hai

Chen Xiner quickened her pace, trying to turn into a small alley to get away from the pursuers. However, the two middle-aged servants quickly surrounded her and blocked her way.

"Little girl, don't run away. Follow us obediently, or you will suffer physical pain." One of the servants showed a ferocious smile.

Chen Xiner stopped, her pretty face filled with anger and fear. "You evil bastards, don't even think about succeeding!" she shouted.

Chen Xiner glanced at them coldly, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, a disdainful smile forming. Her right hand calmly reached into her bosom and tightly grasped a detonator.

This detonator was exactly what Lin Feng had given to the Chen family before. Chen Xiner had specially brought some with her on this trip in case of emergency.

The two servants were completely unaware of the danger they were about to face. They still approached slowly with ill intentions, saying dirty words: "Be good and play with our young master, and you will definitely get some benefits."

Chen Xiner's eyes became increasingly cold. She suddenly pulled out the detonator and, in front of the two servants' astonished gazes, lit the fuse without hesitation.

The crackling sound of sparks instantly broke the tranquility of the alley, and the two servants realized that the situation was not good.

"What the hell is this thing!" One of the servants cried out in horror and subconsciously wanted to step back.

However, it was already too late. A flicker of determination flashed in Chen Xiner's eyes, and she threw the detonator at their feet.

"Get out of the way!" another servant shouted desperately.

But they had no time to react further.

The moment Chen Xiner threw the detonator, her body was as fast as a swallow, she tapped the ground with her toes, pushed herself with both hands, climbed over the wall at the fastest speed, and disappeared on the other side of the alley.

Almost instantly, a resounding "boom" echoed through the sky. The immense force of the explosion sent bricks and rubble flying everywhere. Thick smoke and dust billowed into the air, instantly shrouding the entire alley in chaos.

Qi Hai was originally leisurely waiting for good news not far away. When he heard the sudden explosion, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He quickened his pace and ran towards the alley.

When he arrived, the scene before him stunned him. Two of his men lay in a pool of blood, their bodies shattered beyond recognition, their faces completely unrecognizable. The pungent smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air, making him sick.

Qi Hai's face turned pale instantly, his legs gave way, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. His lips trembled, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

"This...how could this happen..." Qi Hai's voice was filled with fear and disbelief, and his eyes were full of horror and fear.

He never imagined that the seemingly weak woman actually possessed such terrifying means that she could kill his two most capable men in an instant.

"Fortunately, I came late, otherwise..." Qi Hai didn't dare to think any further. He knew very well that if he had been at the scene, he would probably have died by now.

Chen Xiner, who had successfully escaped, hid in a secluded street after leaving the alley. Her chest was heaving violently, her breathing was rapid, and beads of sweat covered her forehead.

"That was close!" Chen Xiner patted her chest, trying to calm herself down.

She recalled the thrilling scene just now and secretly thanked herself for her decisiveness and courage.

"If we keep looking for Lin Feng blindly like this, I don't know when we'll find him." Chen Xiner frowned, her beautiful face full of worry.

She stood on the street, looking at the people coming and going, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"Lin Feng, where are you?" Chen Xiner muttered to herself.

At this time, Xihai City was still prosperous and bustling, but Chen Xiner felt as if she was in a lonely world.

She walked slowly, thinking about her next plan in her mind.

"Maybe, I can use some special methods to lure him out." Chen Xiner's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Xiner came to a busy teahouse and found a corner by the window to sit down.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of the best Longjing tea." Chen Xiner's voice was clear and pleasant.

The waiter quickly responded, "Okay, please wait a moment, young lady."

After a while, a pot of steaming Longjing tea was served. Chen Xiner took a sip, the fragrance of the tea spreading in her mouth, but her mind was not on the tea at all.

The teahouse was bustling with people, and the noise was endless. But Chen Xiner seemed not to hear it, she was lost in deep thought.

Chen Xin'er sat upright, a cup of warm tea gently clasped in her hands. Her eyes flickered between hazy and resolute. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and a sly, slightly sly smile crept up her lips.

"Hmph, Qi Hai, you asked for this." Chen Xiner thought to herself.

She set down the teacup in her hand, and the tea in the cup swayed slightly, creating tiny ripples. She looked around, making sure no one noticed her, then quietly stood up and blended into the night.

Chen Xiner was dressed in a black nightgown made of a special material, making almost no sound as she moved. Her steps were light and graceful, like a ghost in the dark night, as she quickly ran towards the Qi family.

The Qi family mansion was located in a prosperous area of ​​Xihai City. Its tall walls and imposing gates looked particularly solemn in the moonlight. Chen Xiner carefully avoided the patrolling servants at the gate, lightly leaped over the wall, and landed silently in the courtyard.

Crouching low, she took advantage of the shelter of the trees and rockery in the courtyard and slowly approached Qi Hai's room. Silence reigned, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects. Chen Xin'er's heartbeat quickened slightly, and her breathing became slow and cautious.

Finally reaching Qi Hai's room, she gently pushed it open, and the room was filled with a faint scent of incense. Chen Xiner pulled out a pre-prepared detonator from her bosom and carefully coated it with a layer of wax, making it look more like an ordinary candle.

After doing all this, she tiptoed into the room and placed the waxed detonator where the candle had been placed. As she placed the detonator, her eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge.

"Qi Hai, I'm sorry, tonight is your retribution." Chen Xiner showed an evil smile.

After leaving Qi Hai's room, another thought came to Chen Xiner's mind: "Like father, like son. Now that he's here, he can't let his father go."

So, relying on her knowledge of the Qi family mansion, she quickly found Qi Hai's father's room. Using the same method, she placed another detonator and then slipped away unnoticed, just like when she came.
