170: Chapter 170 Qin Xun, I've lost Mi Xi'er!

The machete fell.

Mi Xier cried out in pain, her arm hanging limp.

Xia Ning kicked the thug in the stomach, knocking him down!

Watching this scene, Qin Xun dropped the fruit in his hands, and it rolled all over the floor.

"Fuck you!"

His blood rushed to his head. He shouted, rushed forward, kicked the watermelon knife out of the thug's hand, and leaped onto the thug's chest.

A sound of bones cracking rang out.

The thug screamed and cursed.

"Qin Xun! I'm going to kill you! My company has been... hollowed out by you! I want your life!"

Qin Xun didn't hear a word he said. His eyes were bloodshot, his fists swung like the wind, smashing into the thug's face one after another.

After five or six punches, he knocked him unconscious.

He stood up and ran to Mi Xier, gently grabbing her arm. He saw only a bright red mark on her fair skin. It didn't even seem to have broken the skin.

Mi Xier was sweating profusely from the pain.

"It's a fake knife. I could feel it was plastic."

Qin Xun felt her arm and realized it really hadn't broken the skin. Angry, he threw her arm aside and cursed.

"Lei Zhaodi, do you think you're filming a movie? Do you think Sister Wang is coming over? Using your arm to block a knife! Do you think you're a Transformer?"

Seeing Qin Xun so anxious, Mi Xier smiled and said softly.

"I guess I must have read too many romance novels during my puberty and turned stupid!"

Qin Xun was rendered speechless and turned to look at Xia Ning on the side.

"Xia Ning! It's one thing for her to be stupid! What were you doing? Do you really think being a Taekwondo junior champion is that impressive? The person had a knife!"

He was furious. When he saw the blade swing down earlier, his instinct was to retreat and dodge. He hadn't expected the two idiots beside him to rush forward instead.

He shouted, "Retreat first, dodge the blade, then find an opportunity to counterattack! You two, such idiots! Who just rushes in like that? Even SWAT teams run first! What were you two thinking?"

Xia Ning and Mi Xier lowered their heads, scolded. In hindsight, they really were quite stupid!

A passerby called the police.

The police arrived quickly, escorted the thug into the police car, and requested Qin Xun to accompany them to give a statement. Mi Xier went to get her injury treated first.

Before leaving, Qin Xun instructed Xia Ning, "Take Zhaodi to the hospital."

He looked at Mi Xier and said earnestly, "We'll go home together tonight. I'll cook a home-cooked meal, and you can try my cooking. I've prepared a gift for you. It's a song."

Mi Xier clasped her hands together in front of her lower abdomen, a faint smile on her face. "It must be very beautiful."

The police car drove away. Xia Ning walked to Mi Xier's side, watched the departing vehicle, and said softly, "Qin Xun is a very loyal person. The knife you blocked just now is worth at least one million."

Mi Xier understood what Xia Ning meant. She turned her head to look at her and smiled. "He doesn't even have money himself; he had to borrow from you to lease The Little Tavern."

Xia Ning's expression darkened, and she suggested, "He can do marketing for you and increase your follower count by several times. He probably prepared a song that suits your style."

Mi Xier gave a cryptic smile. "I don't sing well, and my dancing isn't as seductive as Qin Xun's. I just relied on a bit of charm to luckily become a borderline streamer. You want Qin Xun to increase my followers so that my business gets better?" She laughed out loud. "Let Qin Xun be my pimp? That's weird."

Xia Ning looked at the smile on her face, feeling a tightness in her chest. "Lei Zhaodi! Isn't your self-esteem a bit overly sensitive and inappropriate?" She raised her voice, using an almost commanding tone. "Give me your card number! I'll lend you 500,000, and you can pay me back in installments!"

Mi Xier looked at Xia Ning and made a shushing gesture. "Do not advise others to be kind without having experienced their suffering. Please don't stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at me. This is the only bit of self-esteem I have left."

Tears suddenly streamed from her eyes, and she said slowly, "Can you... just leave me alone?"

Xia Ning looked at Mi Xier, speechless for a long time. She couldn't understand. She had heard a saying that children from dysfunctional families were likely to become extreme and stubborn when they grew up. But... did they have to be this stubborn?

Mi Xier tilted her head back and slowly raised her arm, looking at the scar in the sunlight with a gentle smile on her face. The sun is good. The wind is good. The people are good. What a sunny day it really is!

Four hours later. Qin Xun walked out of the police station, his head spinning. He never knew that giving a statement took so long.

The thug was the boss of a marketing company in Haicheng. Yesterday, two of his core planners went to Oak Company to apply for jobs. And they both got hired.

This morning, they quit on the boss, saying that since he often scolded them for not being worth a single hair of Qin Xun, they would go to learn from Qin Xun. They didn't even want this month's salary; they were determined to go to Oak Company.

With two core employees forcibly resigning, his company couldn't function. In a fit of rage, he bought a prop watermelon knife, wanting to scare Qin Xun. Unexpectedly, he ended up with broken ribs and a broken nose. However, Qin Xun was fine. It was self-defense. As for the matter of excessive force, Qin Xun didn't ask, and the police tacitly didn't mention it.

Exiting the police station, Qin Xun checked the time and realized it was almost 6 o'clock. He was just about to hail a taxi home when he suddenly heard rapid footsteps. He turned to see Xia Ning looking anxious, saying urgently, "Qin Xun, I've lost Mi Xier!"

He was confused. "Lost her?"

Xia Ning's face lacked her usual coldness, leaving only anxiety. "I took her to the hospital to treat her wound, and while I went to buy her water, she was gone when I came back! She blocked my phone number! She blocked my WeChat! She even blocked my Douyin!"

Qin Xun immediately took out his phone and dialed Mi Xier's number. The phone immediately replied, "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached. Please try again later."

Qin Xun had a bad premonition. "Why is she hiding?"

Suddenly, Xia Ning grabbed Qin Xun's hand, walked toward the parking lot, and shoved Qin Xun into the passenger seat. "Qin Xun, I found a surveillance program on Niu Xiaojun's computer this morning and saw Mi Xier's predicament."

The two returned to Oak Company. The staff had already left work. Xia Ning pulled Qin Xun, jogging all the way into the office, started the computer, entered the D drive, and opened the surveillance program. She skillfully adjusted it to 6:20 PM yesterday. Qin Xun looked.

In the Vice President's office, Mi Xier was lying on the sofa, singing. "I was once unable to extricate myself from the vastness of the world, and indulged in its dream talk. Unable to tell truth from false, making no struggle, fearing no jokes. I once turned my youth into her, and once plucked midsummer from my fingertips. Let the heart's desires follow fate!"

Suddenly, her WeChat video call rang. As soon as she answered, a girl with a tear-stained face, about fifteen or sixteen years old, appeared on the phone, wailing. "Sister! Yingta jumped off a building!"

Qin Xun remembered that Yingta was Mi Xier's youngest sister. In the surveillance footage, Mi Xier immediately sat up, her voice trembling. "Is she okay?"

The girl on the phone just cried. Mi Xier said loudly, "De Di, stop crying! I'm asking you, is Yingta okay?"

On the phone screen, De Di turned the camera to aim at a 10-year-old little girl on a hospital bed. "She didn't jump; the nurse stopped her."

Mi Xier breathed a sigh of relief, trying to keep her voice gentle so as not to agitate her further, and asked, "Yingta, are... are you sick?"
