"Boom!"
After Lin Yanan entered the password, the alloy door opened.
"Ah?"
Hua Qingfei and Lin Yanan were shocked to see the floor full of corpses.
"Hmm?"
Both of them also caught a glimpse of a figure disappearing at the end of the passage.
"It was him!"
Hua Qingfei rushed out, but where was Ye Qingtian's figure?
"Dear Miss Hua, we are sorry for what happened here..."
Hua Qingfei did not hear a single word from the bank manager's apology. She directly demanded, "Within five minutes, I want all the information on the gentleman who was conducting business at the same time as I was!"
"Miss Hua, I'm sorry, but this cannot be done. All customer information is confidential, as you know..."
Hua Qingfei gave a fierce glare at the manager and left the financial institution straightaway.
"President Hua, we couldn't find the person. But it has been confirmed that the attack on us was carried out by Celestial Punishment, one of the world's top ten mercenary organizations. Excluding the person operating behind the scenes, they dispatched a total of thirty mercenaries... Also, even though our hackers infiltrated this financial institution, the records of that gentleman simply don't exist."
Half an hour later, Lin Yanan reported the findings to Hua Qingfei.
"But he still killed them all by himself!"
Hua Qingfei murmured, her eyes sparkling with intensity.
At this moment, Ye Qingtian was in a six-star hotel in Switzerland.
He opened the beast hide bag, which contained an envelope and a black token.
The contents of the envelope were simple: Ye Qingtian's background and future arrangements.
Years ago, the family steward Qin Yunlei left the Ye Family and started from scratch in Northwest Jin City, founding the Qin Group with assets worth billions.
The arrangement from the mysterious elder was for Ye Qingtian to find Qin Yunlei, who would then arrange his future life.
As for the token, Ye Qingtian studied it for a long time but couldn't make out anything significant from it, and the mysterious elder offered no explanation.
That evening, in the first-class cabin of the flight from Zurich to Huaxia Jin City.
Ye Qingtian had just entered and was stunned.
By sheer coincidence, he encountered Hua Qingfei again.
In a white long dress, Hua Qingfei stood out like a celestial fairy, so dazzling that no one dared to look directly at her.
Hua Qingfei and Lin Yanan merely glanced at Ye Qingtian before averting their gaze.
Glancing at his boarding pass, Ye Qingtian sat directly next to Hua Qingfei.
As Lin Yanan finished organizing her luggage, she stood in front of Ye Qingtian, speaking imposingly, "Sir, can I discuss something with you? Let's switch seats. You, over there!"
Ye Qingtian replied lazily, "Is that how you discuss with someone?"
"No, I'm not discussing. I'm ordering you!"
Lin Yanan said coldly.
Hua Qingfei had an Amex Black Card; changing seats, or even having the plane turn back, wasn't an issue.
"Young lady, you seem quite wealthy for your age?"
Lin Yanan was about to say something when Ye Qingtian's voice interrupted, "To think you own such a large airport."
"You..."
Lin Yanan's eyes were practically shooting fire; was Ye Qingtian teasing her about her flat chest?
Nobody had ever dared joke about this with her, and Lin Yanan was on the verge of losing it.
"I'll count to three, and if you don't give up your seat by then, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lin Yanan stared at Ye Qingtian intently.
"I just refuse to move. What can you do to me?"
Ye Qingtian retorted.
"One, two..."
"Lin Yanan!"
Suddenly, Hua Qingfei's voice interrupted.
"Understood, President Hua!"
Lin Yanan ceased her threats and moved to another seat, though her gaze remained fixed on Ye Qingtian warily, as if fearing he had ill intentions.
Ye Qingtian began assessing Hua Qingfei.
Her profile was simply perfect, with delicate features, an elegant nose, and skin that seemed transparent, exuding a fairy-like aura.
Too much alike!
Gradually overlapping with that soul-stirring figure from his dreams.
Yet, something was different!
Seeing Ye Qingtian's blatant appraisal, Hua Qingfei remained indifferent.
Ye Qingtian could even sense her heart rate was undisturbed, as if hardly anything could cause her emotional fluctuation—so much so that one might say she was cold-blooded.
Half an hour later, the plane was in a stable state in the air.
But a sudden change occurred as gunfire and shouting erupted from the economy class.
Soon, four gun-wielding men barged into the first-class cabin.
"Hello, Miss Hua. We finally meet. We didn't expect you to prepare in advance, costing us thirty elite soldiers! Therefore, we regret to inform you that we need to take both the documents and you!"
The intruders revealed their identity—it was Celestial Punishment again.
Ye Qingtian simply closed his eyes, ignoring the chaos around him.
"We truly underestimated you. We temporarily changed course, not traveling to the United Kingdom and returning directly to the Divine Land. Yet you still found out."
Lin Yanan said coldly.
She and Hua Qingfei had temporarily changed their itinerary, which led to their seats being separated.
Now Lin Yanan was furious at Ye Qingtian, as Hua Qingfei's window seat was quite far from her, making it difficult to protect her.
Seeing Ye Qingtian's closed eyes, she instinctively assumed he was scared.
"Such a coward!"
Lin Yanan cursed angrily.
"Miss Hua, what do you think?"
The leader asked with a smile.
"Do you think you're at an advantage?"
Suddenly, Hua Qingfei said something unexpected.
"What do you mean?"
The mercenary leader frowned, compelled to ask.
The next second, an unforeseen scene unfolded—
Hua Qingfei vanished from her seat, reappearing right in front of the mercenary leader.
"Bang!"
Hua Qingfei lifted her long leg, tracing a swift, lightning-fast arc, directly hitting the mercenary's jaw.
The sharp heel tore the mercenary's jaw open, incapacitating him on the spot.
Without pause, Hua Qingfei used the reaction force to soar into the air.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In mid-air, Hua Qingfei suddenly halted, her domineering spinning kick sweeping past.
Two mercenaries were hit instantly, their facial muscles twitching violently, suffering temporary dizziness from the powerful blow, the two of them collapsing helplessly.
As Hua Qingfei landed, her cold eyes shifted quickly, gathering force again, her straight, slender right leg swiftly kicking out, whipping the last mercenary's face hard.
With a cry of agony, the mercenary collapsed, a startlingly bloody wound appearing on his face.
The process seemed complicated, yet it all happened in a flash, as Hua Qingfei subdued four mercenaries instantly.
The two mercenaries controlling the economy class noticed the anomaly and rushed to the first-class cabin for support, but met with the Valkyrie-like Hua Qingfei.
Ye Qingtian smirked inwardly; Celestial Punishment had no idea that Hua Qingfei was a martial arts expert.
In the cabin, their advanced equipment or tactics were useless, let alone against Hua Qingfei, who was adept at using Powerful Qi.
Once it got up close, these mercenaries were as good as useless.
Except for Ye Qingtian, everyone was stunned.
Including Lin Yanan, who probably never imagined Hua Qingfei had such terrifying strength.
She assumed Hua Qingfei was only a black belt in Taekwondo...
"Humph, what a coward!"
But when Lin Yanan saw Ye Qingtian with his eyes closed, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Sir, sorry to have scared you!"
Hua Qingfei's voice reached his ear, and Ye Qingtian opened his eyes in confusion, surprised that Hua Qingfei was addressing him: "Oh... oh... it's nothing..."
Hua Qingfei withdrew her gaze and returned to her seat.
As ordinary as can be, impossible to attract her for a second glance.
In Hua Qingfei's dictionary, the word "men" virtually didn't exist anymore.
As the leader of a billion-dollar corporation, Hua Qingfei had always been in an exalted position, coupled with her martial prowess, she was exceptionally outstanding.
More importantly, her background: the beloved daughter of the Hua Family, one of the four great families of Huaxia.
Not many men could catch her eye, except for the one she met at Baosheng Bank today.
Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse from behind, it left a deep impression.
Several hours later, the plane smoothly landed at Jin City International Airport.
Ye Qingtian was the first to disembark, for he temporarily wanted no further interaction with Hua Qingfei.
"Hmm? What's this?"
About to disembark, Hua Qingfei found a boarding pass beside the seat, left behind by Ye Qingtian.
"Hmm?"
When Hua Qingfei saw the information on the boarding pass, she was thunderstruck.
