My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

Chapter 497: Someone Has to Take the Blame



Great!

Feeling that he had recovered to his peak condition, Qin Yu was overjoyed. Now it would not be so easy for Zhao Qilin to kill him.

"Kid, what on earth are you doing? Get the Red Crystal out!"

By this time, Zhao Qilin in the living room was clearly getting impatient.

"I'm looking for the mechanism, why don't you come in and get it yourself!"

Qin Yu said irritably.

He hesitated slightly in his mind, wondering if handing over the Red Crystal to Zhao Qilin would be a wise move. After consuming it and restoring his strength, wouldn't Zhao Qilin become even more powerful, like adding wings to a tiger, making him impossible for Qin Yu to handle?

"Give him the Red Crystal, but throw it into the yard. There's a big mountain behind us; you carry me and we run out. That's the only way both of us can survive!"

As Qin Yu hesitated, he once again heard the mosquito-like voice of Phoenix in his ear, even weaker than before.

It seemed that communicating in this manner was highly energy-consuming.

Damn, why was he being so stupid? If he saved Phoenix tonight, why worry about not having a Red Crystal?

Her family must have more than one, right?

With that thought, Qin Yu picked up the wooden box from the bedside table, opened it, and sure enough, there lay a red Red Crystal.

After feeling a pang of heartache, he closed the lid again, kicked the stool a few times with his foot to make a banging and cracking sound, leading Zhao Qilin to believe he had triggered a mechanism.

Otherwise, if it was too easy, Zhao Qilin might suspect that Qin Yu had colluded with Phoenix.

"Kid, be damn careful!"

As expected, Zhao Qilin's voice came from outside the door once again.

"Pfft..."

To convince Zhao Qilin that he had been caught by a trap, Qin Yu circulated his inner strength and forcibly made himself spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Then, he staggered out the door with the wooden box.

"The Red Crystal, for you...."

With blood on the corner of his mouth, Qin Yu panted heavily, looking like he was seriously injured.

"Open it!"

Zhao Qilin frowned slightly. He was indeed a suspicious man, still not trusting Qin Yu even at this moment.

"Here, take it!"

Qin Yu opened the wooden box, grabbed the Red Crystal in his hand, and with a fierce flick of his wrist, he shattered the glass and dropped it into the yard.

"Kid, you...."

Zhao Qilin glared at Qin Yu menacingly, then turned to look at the yard, where the Red Crystal gleamed with a dark red light in the night.

It made his heart skip a beat, and he didn't hesitate to leap out and grab for the Red Crystal.

However, the moment he moved, Qin Yu did too.

He picked up Phoenix from the sofa, and like a mad dog, crashed through the wooden back door and ran out.

Sure enough, there was a towering mountain behind them. Without any hesitation, his legs turned into little electric motors, and he ran up the mountain.

"What the hell?"

Everything happened so quickly that the crew-cut guy didn't have time to react.

Hadn't Qin Yu been electrocuted by Zhao Qilin, losing all his strength? So how was he now running faster than a rabbit?

"Boss... he ran away!"

The crew-cut guy blinked and then said to Zhao Qilin in the courtyard.

"Never mind, I've already got the Red Crystal. After breaking through to Pill Holding, I can crush that kid with one hand!"

Zhao Qilin held the Red Crystal with a look of cherishing, not too concerned that Qin Yu had run off with Phoenix.

"Boss, then congratulations to you!"

The crew-cut guy said, brown-nosing.

"Hmm... Now that the kid has run away, someone has to take the blame."

Zhao Qilin looked at the crew-cut guy with a sinister gaze.

"Boss... I..."

The crew-cut guy showed a look of terror; it was clear that Zhao Qilin was thinking of killing him.

"Sorry, you know too much!"

Zhao Qilin was upon the man with the buzz cut in a flash, a palm strike landing squarely on his chest.

Thud....

"Zhao Qilin, you will not die a good death...."

With eyes bulging, the man with the buzz cut collapsed limply to the ground.

"Hmph.... I've never believed in such curses!"

After speaking coldly, Zhao Qilin took out his phone and dialed a number, "Bring some police dogs, and a helicopter, too. Search the mountain!"

He didn't really expect to catch Qin Yu like this, but it would buy time, allowing Phoenix's condition to deteriorate further and for her to die on the mountain.

In the end, he would personally take care of Qin Yu.

The plan was seamless; no one would know that the Red Crystal from Phoenix had fallen into his own hands.

At this time.

Qin Yu, carrying Phoenix, had run several kilometers in one go. He looked back at the villa shrouded in the night, and only after seeing no one was following did he let out a sigh of relief.

"We need to keep moving. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Qilin will send people to search the mountain!"

Phoenix said faintly.

"Alright...."

Qin Yu didn't say much, and continued towards the mountaintop. After about two to three hours, which even made his strong legs feel a bit wobbly, he finally set Phoenix down under a relatively clean, large tree.

"Quick, contact your family to send masters. Take down Zhao Qilin!"

Qin Yu took out his phone and said to Phoenix.

That mad dog, Zhao Qilin, dared to make a move on Phoenix; he was probably as good as dead now.

"Our family resides in a very secretive location, and they don't use modern equipment!"

Phoenix said dimly, leaning back against the tree.

"Goddamn it...."

Qin Yu was stunned, his face contorting with frustration, "You mean, you can't contact your family? What do we do when Zhao Qilin's men catch up? Even your tough subordinates were handled, I can't hold out either!"

"Then we can only leave it to fate! Cough cough...."

After Phoenix finished speaking, she began coughing more violently, her originally stunning face turning pale, "I might not live much longer. Take this, and fend for yourself!"

Then, Phoenix took off a pouch that was hanging on her dress and tossed it to Qin Yu.

"What is this?"

Qin Yu caught the fragrant pouch, assuming it was simply a piece of Phoenix's jewelry. It looked like it contained something.

"The Red Crystal. The one Zhao Qilin has is fake. I brought two Red Crystals from home, one real and one fake!"

"Cough cough...."

After explaining, Phoenix began to cough even more fiercely.

"Uh...."

Qin Yu was taken aback. He thought Zhao Qilin was cunning, but given tonight's events, Phoenix was extremely clever to come up with a way to save herself and keep the Red Crystal in such a short time.

Indeed, that was the depth of a major clan's disciple; none were fools.

"Let's find a place to hide for now!"

Qin Yu pocketed the pouch. Although he had obtained the Red Crystal, Zhao Qilin would soon send people to search the mountain. Whether they could survive was still in question.

"Go on your own. My qi and blood are depleted. I won't make it till dawn!"

Phoenix said, waving her hand.

"Are you serious? I know the Peach Blossom Nine Needles; I can save you. You won't die!"

After saying this, Qin Yu picked up Phoenix again. She had given him such a precious Red Crystal; how could he not save her?

"In this condition, you still have a way?"

Phoenix asked weakly, looking up.

"I'll do my best, and I should be able to save your life. Don't talk, conserve your strength. It would be best to find a cave to avoid the search!"

As Qin Yu spoke, he headed towards a depression in the mountain.

Having been a scout in a special operations force, he had his unique methods of scouting terrain.

After another half hour or so, a dark cave appeared before them.

Qin Yu turned on his phone's flashlight and, without hesitation, entered with Phoenix in his arms.
