Qin Qianyu smiled brightly, Grandpa Wú could swear he saw Yuan signs in her eyes.
"Haise! Let's make a trip to the capital then."
"Fine by me, let me tell my parents I'll be with you tonight."
"Mhm, alright."
Qin Qianyu wasted no time, she called and left a message with her parents. Then they made a brief appearance back at the studio not only to feed Bai Saan but for Qin Qianyu to also pack her mask and cloak, because the mysterious Phantom Fox would soon be making her stage debut in the Battle Arena.
This time the pair sat on a chartered jet, Qin Qianyu was impressed, even when she was with Song Zhaoge she always took a train or bus, even with all the money she was making.
But the reason for doing so where different in her eyes. It wasn't because she couldn't afford it, but rather, she wanted to enjoy time.
A long trip on a train or bus meant more time spent with Song Zhaoge next to her. Well that was the reason why but he'd always sleep or complain that they couldn't take a plane and get to where they were going sooner.
She had no idea that Song Zhaoge had only endured all her whims because of all the things she could do to make him and his family richer.
Back then Qin Qianyu thought he was just playing, and feigning being upset. She truly though he understood her and her intentions for doing such things.
Time was the most precious thing to her, it's worth, far outshone all her wealth and fame, time spent with the one you love was all she wanted.
Qin Qianyu admired the jet, the interior was on another level compared to passenger planes.
She made up her mind to get one of her own. It'll be far more convenient if she's ever in a hurry to get somewhere.
Since she doesn't want or need to focus or spend her time on love anymore, she'll put that time to better use on other things like visiting other Battle Arenas and such.
The jet left the airport and Qin Qianyu along with Grandpa Wú sat comfortably on their way to the capital.
At the same time Qin Qianyu's jet was flying towards the capital, in another part of the city on a hospital bed, Zhang Qingmei sat staring blankly at the Television.
When she initially woke up, she did so seething and screaming. The nurses rushed in to settle and calm her down which she eventually did.
She coyly asked if Wen Wú Ting had come to visit her, but the nurses all replied with the same thing, no one has come to visit.
Zhang Qingmei sat there going over the events of the previous evening.
Seething even more, she gripped the sheets as she suddenly recalled Wen Wú Ting embracing Qin Qianyu. Even though it was the other way around, in Zhang Qingmei's mind, it was Wen Wú Ting holding onto Qin Qianyu intimately.
She felt like she had caught her husband with his mistress. This was the thought and feeling running through her at that moment she came into the private room and saw them together.
With those feelings as her driving force she pointed her gun at the "cheating" pair and opened fire.
However, her gun wasn't trained on Qin Qianyu but Wen Wú Ting instead.
If Qin Qianyu hadn't kicked him away at that point, at that precise moment, then that wall would of had a fresh coat of Wen Wú Ting's brain.
No matter how hard she tried to deny it, she really couldn't lie to herself. She really aimed her gun at him. She really wanted him dead.
"If he won't be with me! Then he can't be with anyone!"
That underlaying thought, which had always been hidden and remained in the darkest, deepest recesses of her mind came to the forefront, abruptly, at that time.
Like a natural instinct, Zhang Qingmei's body reacted in kind which led to her shooting.
The last thing she remembered was the figure of Qin Qianyu coming before her like a ghost.
Then, nothing. She woke up here, she didn't know the outcome of her firing off more rounds at Qin Qianyu, she just knew she fired again.
Zhang Qingmei's thoughts were brought back to the present because of the sound coming from the TV.
A news conference was just ending, it was a big deal considering all of the various agencies involved in the Evergreen Dragon's scandal.
To one side stood the important people from the police and prosecutors office, and on the other, members of the Four Winds.
Members of ADT and PIT where among the people on stage during the conference.
"Look at meee! . . Look at meeee!"
Zhang Qingmei mumbled as she stared unblinkingly at the image of Wen Wú Ting.
Suddenly he blinked slowly and then his eyes happened to turn and look into the camera that was filming the event.
In Zhang Qingmei's mind this was fate.
"Come see me. Come see me, and I'll forgive you. Come see me, to let me know you didn't mean to hurt me. Come see me and I'll truly know you love me!"
Zhang Qingmei mumbled incoherently over and over again as she focused in on Wen Wú Ting on the television.
She didn't blink, she focused hard on sending Wen Wú Ting, her innermost and private thoughts telepathically through the tv.
Zhang Qingmei stopped her mumbling when she heard her room door opening, here eyes went wide, a lithe smile spread on her face as she muttered,
"You, you're here!"
"Mhm, I'm just finishing off my rounds."
" . . . "
The person that entered the room wasn't who she was expecting. The doctor saw nothing unusual and continued,
"Oh I've good news, you can be discharged now. My only concern is that your blood pressure is a little high for someone so young so please take greater care to lessen or overcome all the stressful things around you. Other than that do you have any questions?"
Zhang Qingmei shook her head. The doctor nodded and left her to it.
She got out of bed and dressed quickly before discharging herself and leaving the hospital.
"First it was mother, then grandfather, now it's this ugly mask wearing bitch doctor! Why are so many people standing in my damn way of pursuing who I love!?"
Zhang Qingmei asked her herself as she made her way back to the base.
In another part of the city at that very moment, Wen Wú Ling sat seated on a sofa browsing the net.
90% of the hottest topics were about the raid on the Evergreen Dragon's.
In the press release video the various agencies had made, Wen Wú Ling spotted her brother. A sly smirk ran across her face when she saw how haggard he looked.
Suddenly her peace and quiet was disturbed by the front door closing loudly followed by hurried steps.
"Well!? Any news?"
"Eww! God! Get away from me! Your face will give me rabies!"
" . . . "
Wen Wú Ting was speechless regarding his sister's "rabies" remark. He looked to Wen Wú Ling for her to answer his question still.
"I've been messaging but I haven't gotten a reply so . . "
He sighed heavily and flopped down on the sofa next to Wen Wú Ling.
Wen Wú Ling placed her foot on his shoulder and pushed herself away from her haggard arse brother.
Wen Wú Ting didn't even have the energy to stand, let alone complain, he kept going over the events of that evening. He had gone over every moment thinking about what he could have done, what he should have done, but it always came back to what he didn't do.
He had watched the surveillance feed of inside the private room over and over, especially the part where Qin Qianyu had swooped in and scooped him up, pulling them both out of harms way.
And even the moment when Zhang Qingmei opened fire. He couldn't understand why she would do that.
Wen Wú Ling watched her brother moping and lost in thought. She took a picture of him and smirked.
She wasn't going to tell him that she and Qin Qianyu had already spoken to each other or that she even had a picture of Qin Qianyu's immaculate long legs.
She wanted him to suffer for his negligence.
Over in the capital, both Grandpa Wú and Qin Qianyu headed to a private parking garage to pick up a car from there.
It was a custom hyper car that he had won in a battle bet against the Battle Arena owner in Fenghuang city.
Qin Qianyu was shocked, the pearlescent black paint with red accents resembled her fox mask to a degree.
The cars shape was sleek, unblemished and screamed extravagant, the rear wing even had actuators and the wheels alone went from the floor to her midriff.
"Is this a spaceship!?"
Qin Qianyu muttered as she ogled the car in front of her.
Grandpa Wú thought that it would be a fitting ride for Qin Qianyu's first Battle Arena visit.
"Catch!"
Grandpa Wú tossed the key fob to the hyper car at Qin Qianyu.
Grandpa Wú learnt that Qin Qianyu could drive during their road trip. He was really surprised that she could despite her age and not even having her license yet.
"There's also another present for you. Go have a look."
Qin Qianyu was surprised once again. She entered the private garage and opened the car door to find a case sitting there.
"This? . . "
Qin Qianyu asked as she pointed at the case.
"Mhm. Open it."
Qin Qianyu did as she was told and opened the case. Inside she found a full body suit and combat styled boots made of the very same material as her cloak.
Grandpa Wú smiled when he saw her shocked look. He pointed in a certain direction and Qin Qianyu followed with her eyes.
"Hehe! Okay, give me a minute,"
She chimed as she took the case and headed into the bathroom attached to the garage to change.
"How do I look!?"
Qin Qianyu, who emerged a few moments later asked.
Grandpa Wú looked Qin Qianyu over from head to toe and nodded his approval,
"You look like you mean business!"
"I have the exact same thoughts!"
The body suit was tight and sat snug around her body. It look exactly like a second layer of skin.
The suit didn't impede any of her motions or movements. She had already practiced a little doing squats and stuff, embarrassingly, she even twerked a little before coming out of the bathroom in order to find a breaking point of the suit least there be any accidents.
"Good! Use this whenever you enter the Battle Arena or when you moonlight. I've ordered you a few more they'll be sent to the studio once they're done."
Qin Qianyu only nodded, she cocked her head to the side and stared at the old man with reservation and questioningly.
Grandpa Wú picked up in this and asked,
"What's the matter?"
"Hmmm, two things, one, how'd you know my measurements?"
"The ladies at Secondhand told me when I asked."
" . . . "
"And the other?"
"Can you ask them to not make it a full suit but a two piece. It be too much of a hassle to go toilet wearing a full bodysuit."
"Easy, I'll do that now."
Grandpa Wú handed Qin Qianyu her mask and cloak and sent a message while she put them on.
She hopped in the car and her and Grandpa Wú headed out in a certain direction after leaving the private parking lot.
After driving through the city for over an hour, Qin Qianyu and Grandpa Wú found the Battle Arena.
It's name was Heavens Chosen.
"It's as arrogant a name as the people that come here. But, it still a fighting ring if anyone pisses you off, go for gold!"
"Huh!?"
"I mean beat the living shit out of them. Go for Gold!"
"Hahaha! Got it!"
