Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1143: Sudden Change (9)

So, as long as they rush through the final third and escape Snake Island via the underground passage to the cliff, their mission would be accomplished.

But, was this issue really resolved so smoothly? Could someone like Tutian Zhengxiong, whose brain is ruled by lust, come up with such a sophisticated kidnapping strategy?

An Yiqing’s right eyelid twitched violently a few times, her unease growing by the moment.

The cabin where Old Master An and the others were held was right in front of her, and An Yiqing’s Clairvoyant Eye could clearly see the large hole in the cabin’s wooden floor, as well as the mess inside the main hall.

It seemed that those in charge of surveillance had discovered their targets missing, but with the death of Tutian Zhengxiong, they were also at a loss for direction.

"Move! We are almost there!"

At An Yiqing’s command, everyone quickened their pace once again. As they drew closer to the cabin, An Yiqing’s anxiety intensified, her heart pounding almost out of rhythm.

Just as her right foot stepped forward towards the cabin, an explosive thunderclap resonated beside her ear!

Boom—!

Earth-shaking! Deafening!

The leading An Yiqing staggered, rolling awkwardly to the side. She quickly steadied herself and hastily checked on An Zhifeng and the others. Thankfully, they weren’t seriously hurt.

Gazing coldly towards the site of the explosion, An Yiqing’s unease grew stronger.

She wasn’t mistaken, this was definitely not the power of a bomb. It was man-made!

The strength of the opponent was formidable enough to kill her without any warning!

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

No sooner had she spoken, a set of light and steady footsteps sounded.

"Miss An, I present you a grand gift upon our first meeting, I hope you’ll like it."

The first thing to enter An Yiqing’s vision was a pair of black leather shoes. The design of the shoes was simple, even somewhat old-fashioned, but judging by the material and craftsmanship, it was decisively of the most expensive kind. Her gaze lifted to see the man, approximately 1.8 meters tall, stand upright with a well-proportioned figure. His black, old-fashioned and austere attire somehow conveyed a sense of abstinence.

When An Yiqing’s eyes moved from his shoulders to his face, she couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

She knew who this man was! It wasn’t their first encounter!

He was the man, whose face they could not see clearly, who almost killed the Feng Family Five Brothers!

It was this man who commanded the Feng Family Five Brothers to steal the An Family’s bracelet. In order to deal with him, An Yiqing had gone to the Jinyin City Xu Family to forge an identical imitation overnight. She did not expect that when she and Gu Yelin followed them, it was then they discovered the man’s strength. If not for Ye Lin’s powerful intervention to whisk the Feng Family Five Brothers away, they might have already been meeting the Gambler Master in the Hall of Yama King!

It was that man! The man whose face they simply couldn’t discern!

An Yiqing racked her brains but couldn’t comprehend that all of today’s events were orchestrated by this man behind the scenes!

At the same time, she thought of something she didn’t want to face even more. Since this man wanted the An Family’s ancestral treasure, it meant her imitation had been exposed!

Stabilizing her mind and breath, An Yiqing posed the question in her mind.

"Who are you?"

Although the man’s face was unclear, it was evident to everyone that he was smiling.

"It doesn’t matter who I am. Miss An, you just need to know that I’ve come to claim an item; that’s sufficient."

"The An Family’s heirloom?"

"It’s really refreshing to speak with a clever person. Since Miss An is aware, then please hand it over."
