Chapter 1334: Chapter 1310: Chu Qi’s Sincere Submission

In this world, there is no wall impervious to wind, nor any eternal secret! Although the battle between Chu Qi and Xiao Lin was carried out secretly, it’s inevitable that some words would leak from the underground city. So when Quan Mingyuan learned that someone who should have been among the executed was still alive, and in Xiao Lin’s hands, he was furious.

Shao Qinyi was naturally the first to bear the brunt of his anger, but this time his attitude was a little different.

"Young Master Quan, Chu Qi is a person personally designated by the chairman, this time..."

"The elder already gave orders: whoever falls into Xiao Lin’s hands must be killed!" Quan Mingyuan laid out his stance very simply. "If this person can’t be used by us, he must die."

"So who does Young Master Quan intend to send to handle this?"

"I’ll naturally make arrangements. Shao Junwei, don’t worry about it. Your primary task now is to get Murong Lengyue for me, understand?" Quan Mingyuan chuckled twice, his eyes behind the glasses staring at Shao Qinyi like a mouse.

"I’ll try my best, but I still want to remind Young Master Quan, Xiao Lin isn’t as weak as you think."

In response to Shao Qinyi’s coldness, Quan Mingyuan didn’t explode in rage as he usually would, but merely smiled indifferently. This change made Shao Qinyi uneasy. "Shao Weihua hasn’t been laid to rest yet, I hope Young Master Quan can grant me a few days off."

"Granted!"

Just as Shao Qinyi left his apartment, Quan Mingyuan summoned two people. These two looked very ordinary, like two farmers just out of the countryside, simple, honest, crude.

A trace of disdain flickered across Quan Mingyuan’s face, but it was quickly replaced by a hard expression. "The task this time is to kill the fugitive Chu Qi, location: Sin City."

The two simply nodded and walked out of Shao Qinyi’s apartment, disappearing into the darkness together.

Xiao Lin was surprised at Chu Qi’s ability to recover. The Black Doctor’s medical skills were outstanding; the broken arm had been reattached, although a complete recovery would still take some time.

Chu Qi, hesitating outside the door, was startled by the sudden opening, with Xiao Lin appearing before him. "Looking for me?" Since their battle, Chu Qi had gained freedom, and apart from not being able to leave the underground city, he could move freely on any floor. "Well then, saves me the trouble of looking for you, come in!"

Xiao Lin invited Chu Qi into his room, where a few items were neatly laid out on the table. "Here are your new identity documents and passport. If you’re willing to accept simple facial surgery, I can guarantee no one will find you for the rest of your life, along with enough money for a comfortable life. I’ve chosen a few countries for you, where welfare is good, and asylum conditions are lenient. Even if you don’t want the surgery, you can still be protected locally. Of course, you can also choose where you want to go, and I will arrange it for you."

"Are you really planning to let me go?" Chu Qi did not expect Xiao Lin’s actions to be so swift, with everything already arranged for him such that he could leave immediately with a nod.

"You’re an innocent man, why shouldn’t you be freed?" Xiao Lin smiled at Chu Qi. "Don’t hesitate; the quicker you decide, the safer you’ll be. Although this is the underground city, I can’t guarantee everyone will keep silent. News of your survival will soon reach Quan Mingyuan, and escaping afterwards won’t be so easy, especially since you’re still injured."

Chu Qi struggled, conflicted! The conditions Xiao Lin provided were really tempting, but where could he go?

"The leader of the prisoners is surnamed Xing, besides me, there are ten others who can face Young Master Xiao in combat. I don’t know their exact hiding places; we all entered Palermo in batches without contacting each other." Chu Qi slowly started speaking.

"How do you receive assignments?"

"Personally appointed by Boss Xing."

"In Yanjing, have you seen these ten people?" Xiao Lin contemplated.

"In my team, there’s a young-looking person, another who came from the army, and one who disappeared after entering Palermo. I suspect they may have escaped."

Xiao Lin thought of the two people Chu Qi mentioned. "Those two are already dead, one is at ’Wagangnai’, but this soldier didn’t die at my hands, the other is at the Murong Family estate, and I’ve already handed them over for handling."

"Young Master Xiao!" Suddenly, Chu Qi knelt in front of him with a loud thud, a move that startled Xiao Lin, causing him to jump back a step. "I really don’t want to live a life of escape forever; I want to return to where I grew up, so I beseech Young Master Xiao to clear my name. If Quan Xianglin dies, I’ll be completely free, so please let me stay in the underground city."

"Chu Qi, staying in Sin City means you’ll become an assassin. I won’t give you special treatment because of who you are, here everyone is equal." While Xiao Lin was willing to accept someone as talented as Chu Qi, from another perspective, he didn’t hope Chu Qi would make such a decision.

"Returning to the condemned cells, I’m worse than an assassin. I should have listened to you in the first place; if it wasn’t for my wishful thinking, I wouldn’t have been deceived by Quan Xianglin. So I want to stay and help Young Master Xiao eliminate the condemned."

"We’ll discuss after you recover." Xiao Lin still didn’t give Chu Qi a direct answer. When people are impulsive, they often make decisions that go against their true desires; he didn’t wish for this person to make a wrong choice a second time. "Stay on the eighth floor of the underground city for now; at least it’s safe here."

"Didn’t Young Master Xiao just say that to stay here everyone must be equal? The eighth floor isn’t where I should be." Chu Qi smiled broadly. "I know what Young Master Xiao is worried about. If Quan Mingyuan has really learned that I’m alive, then he will certainly take action. Rather than waiting to be eliminated, it’s better to openly face it; them in the dark and us in the light only provides them the opportunity to ambush."

Xiao Lin was surprised by Chu Qi’s thoughts but also completely agreed with him. "Your team members are all dead, so even if Quan Mingyuan sends people, you won’t recognize them. Follow me."

Chu Qi stayed in the underground city; assassins couldn’t enter this area. Without a badge personally issued by Lao Jiu, ordinary people couldn’t access the sixth floor. The only place to lure enemies was Black Street, and Xiao Lin also didn’t want too many people paying attention to Sin City’s integrated building, so after thinking it over, Black Street was the best choice.

"This place has the best defense system. If you’ve thought it through..."

"I’ve considered it thoroughly, Young Master Xiao doesn’t need to persuade me; until Quan Xianglin is eliminated, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, my fate won’t change." Chu Qi looked at the dark three-story house ahead and said. (To be continued.
