s"I've already beaten him up," Summer said, feeling instantly happier; she still thought his wife was the best, understanding his feelings so well."Oh, you didn't kill him, did you" Qiao Xiaqiao asked...Chapter 1048 - She Does Not Surnamed Song

"Elder Sister Moon, although I don't understand the situation, I believe you have your reasons and that this is also for the best regarding my husband. Qiao Xiaoqiao spoke frankly, "Actually, when my husband realized he was in danger, he didn’t want me to come here to seek help from you because he knew your health isn’t good and leaving would be harmful."

"Leaving does indeed have some negative effects on my body, but if it's just for a short period of time, the harm isn't that significant." Moon Qingya maintained her serene smile. "That little rogue has always been very concerned about me, so he naturally wouldn’t let you come here to seek help from me. However, I haven’t gone down not because of my health but because I know more about the Song Yumei you mentioned."

"Elder Sister Moon, my husband always says that Song Yumei is your enemy. Is she really your enemy" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help asking.

"Little rogue's intuition never fails him; she has indeed treated me as an enemy all along." Moon Qingya let out a soft sigh, seemingly with a hint of helplessness. "In reality, she doesn’t actually have the surname Song. But her thoughts are always quite peculiar, so I can’t figure out why she changed her surname to Song and even had someone share the same name as hers."

"Then what is her real surname" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but ask.

"Her original surname was Night; the night from day and night." Moon Qingya slowly said these words. "She should have been called Night Yumei originally."

Night Yumei

A month, a night—both seem to appear only at night.

Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but have a strange thought: Could there be some connection between the surnames of these two people However, she quickly dismissed this idea. A person's surname is determined at birth; it was likely just coincidence.

"Elder Sister Moon, are you sure that Song Yumei—I mean, Night Yumei—will come to find you" Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but ask again.

"She will." Yue Qingya nodded. "Although she has always treated me as an enemy, knowing I am still alive, she will definitely seek me out. Just like how I would want to immediately look for her once I knew she was alive. However, to ensure the little rogue's safety, I can't leave the mountain and can only wait here."

Pausing slightly, Yue Qingya continued: "Xiaoqiao, you can rest assured. Although I don't know where the little rogue is or what he’s doing, I know he's safe right now. In fact, all along, I've been able to sense his presence; otherwise, how could I leave him alone on the mountain

"Elder Sister Moon, I also believe that my husband is fine," Qiao Xiaoqiao softly said. Since Yue Qingya said Xia Tian was fine, he must be alright. She wouldn’t doubt it.

"Night Yumei’s cultivation has always been on par with mine, but now, my cultivation is far inferior to before. Of course, based on my estimation, hers should also be much less than before. So currently, we are more or less equal. If I go to the capital city to find her, the journey would result in some wear and tear, whereas waiting here for her to come reduces such losses. If it comes down to resolving this matter through force, staying here will increase my chances of winning," Yue Qingya slowly said. "Although I don't want to win unfairly against her, for that little rogue, I can only resort to an unsavory method."

Sighing softly, Yue Qingya continued: "I just hope this matter can be resolved without fighting to the death."

Qiao Xiaoqiao remained silent since she still didn’t fully understand the true relationship between Yue Qingya and Night Yumei, but she knew these two must have been very familiar with each other.

"Xiaoqiao, you can go down the mountain first. If Night Yumei finds you first, remember to tell her that I am waiting for her," Yue Qingya slowly said. "Based on my understanding of her, she won't harm you; in reality, she’s not someone who kills indiscriminately."

"Well, I know." Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded.

"However, I believe she will come directly to Green Peak Mountain," Yue Qingya said again. "Also, let Liu Meng stay here for now; her talent is quite remarkable and maybe it could be of some help to me if she stays."

"Mm, Aunt Meng also likes this place, she thinks it's pretty fun." Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded. "Sis Yue, I'll go down first then."

"I will escort you down the mountain." Yue Qingya nodded and grabbed Qiao Xiaoqiao with one hand as they rose from the ground and flew downward like riding on clouds.

At this moment, all four assassins who had just kidnapped Zhang Dan turned their attention to him. The one playing with guns stopped, the one wielding a knife also put it down, and even the one using the computer ceased his activity because they had just heard a name that left them unable to focus on what they were doing.

"You say he's Summer" Jack’s tone was somewhat unnatural. "Are you sure"

"I'm not sure about this either," Zhang Dan shook his head. "I can't see his face, but it looks very much like him. Besides, I heard that Ning Jie now has a husband, but she didn’t have any boyfriend before, so the man who is most familiar to her would be Summer. So I think he should be Summer."

"Which Summer are you talking about" Jack asked again. "Is it the one with superb medical skills and powerful martial arts"

"Um... Should be him, anyway, he calls himself the number one divine doctor in the world, and Ning Jie’s eyes and legs were treated by him." Zhang Dan felt a bit anxious but also had some hope of escaping. These people seemed to be afraid of Summer

"Damn, it really is him!" The killer who had been playing with a knife muttered angrily. "F***, are you sure I told you, this seemingly ordinary job offered us ten million dollars; there's definitely something fishy going on here. Good thing I was cautious, or we'd be dead for sure this time!"

The killer who had been playing with a gun seemed somewhat unconvinced when it came to the matter of Xia Tian. "Actually, I've always wondered if that kid is as good as they say."

"I wonder too, but I f***ing don't want to find out! All I know is that that kid is someone the Shadow Gang explicitly warned not to touch. Even the Shadow Gang is afraid of him, so you can imagine how powerful he must be." The knife-wielding killer stabbed his knife harshly into the wall with a curse. "F***, if I knew who hired us for this job, I'd make sure to give them a hole in their body!"

"I think the Shadow Gang isn't as invincible as people say; they've had quite a few troubles lately, and I heard that one of their Dark Elves has been running around being chased." The gun-wielding killer still seemed somewhat unconvinced. "Whoever kills her will get fifty million dollars; actually, I was thinking about taking on this job, but I just don't know where to find the Dark Elf."

"Alright, stop arguing! Who wants to continue with this mission Anyone who wants to keep going, raise your hand!" Jack interrupted their argument at this point.

The other three looked at each other but no one raised their hands in the end.

“It seems everyone has come to the same conclusion. Let's leave then.” It was clear that Jack was the leader among them. “Mouse, inform the alliance that we're dropping this job and they should find someone else for it."

"Understood." The hacker killer nodded.

“What about them” the knife-wielding killer asked, glancing at Zhang Dan and Chu Fan.

Hearing this, Zhang Dan immediately felt anxious and silently prayed that they wouldn’t kill her to cover up their tracks!

"Just take him out then. It’ll save us trouble," the gunman said.

“Are you crazy” Jack retorted. "Why must you provoke Xia Tian for no reason Do you want him chasing after you"

“What’s there to fear We’re leaving the country right away, and that kid won’t be able to find us,” the gunman replied unconcernedly.

"Wei Jiahua in Toronto probably thought the same thing. In the end, he was chopped into eighteen pieces. Do you want to end up like him" Jack said sarcastically.

The gunman immediately fell silent; clearly, he knew about that incident as well.

Jack turned back to Zhang Dan and put on a smile again: "Miss Zhang, I’ve already told you before. As long as you cooperate with us, we won’t kill you. So I’ll keep my promise and let both of you go right now."

Hearing this, Zhang Dan finally heaved a sigh of relief—her life was safe.

"Furthermore, Miss Zhang, please don’t try to provoke Xia Tian into retaliating against us. We have no grudge with you and neither do we have any with Xia Tian. Besides, it won’t benefit you in any way," Jack continued.

"No, it definitely won't happen. Actually, I'm not very close to Xia Tian either; I only know Ning Jie well. Xia Tian surely wouldn’t come after you over such a trivial matter," Zhang Dan hurriedly said.

"It’s good that Miss Zhang understands this. We will leave first and ten minutes later we’ll make an anonymous call to the police, then someone will come to rescue you both," Jack turned around and waved his hand. "Pack up and evacuate immediately!"

A few minutes after seeing the assassins leave, Zhang Dan finally felt relieved but she was puzzled at the same time. Who exactly is Xia Tian He’s so powerful that even these killers were scared off!

Looking at the time, it was already 5 PM, and with the early evening darkness approaching around six o'clock, Ning Jie couldn’t hold back anymore and picked up her phone to call Shi JinSong. She just couldn't sit still waiting like this; she would definitely follow Xia Tian’s previous suggestion and look for the head of the black market in Wantang City.

However, before she could dial a number, her phone rang first, displaying Shi JinSong's number. Her heart secretly rejoiced slightly as she realized that the monetary strategy had worked; the police were indeed more proactive now, having made progress so quickly.

"Group Leader Shi, did you find the kidnappers" Ning Jie immediately answered and asked.

"Miss Ning, we haven't found the kidnappers yet, but we have found Zhang Dan," Group Leader Shi JinSong was quite excited as he felt his luck had been exceptionally good today.

“Found Zhang Dan” Ning Jie was stunned for a moment and then asked anxiously: “Is she alright”

"Miss Ning, don’t worry. Zhang Dan is fine but she got scared; it's actually Chu Fan who suffered some injuries," Shi JinSong responded quickly. Then he continued to ask, "Miss Ning, would you like to see Zhang Dan I just sent her and Chu Fan to the central hospital for a check-up. Later on, I can drop Zhang Dan off at your place."ed out. He then took out his wallet in preparation for payment."Please wait a moment." A young female server responded and headed towards the cashier counter but didn’t return until several minutes la...
