Chapter 736: Isn't That Where Qiao Jing Tian Lives?

"Your heavy‑handedness is because you're spouting nonsense," Xu Tian turned and walked outside.

"Ah Yi." At that moment, Yue Molì suddenly quickened her steps and arrived beside Xu Tian.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tian's steps halted, feeling a bit uneasy.

In his haste earlier, he blurted out Tang Bingyan's name, and he didn't know whether Yue Molì heard it.

"Be careful on the way back," Yue Molì said softly.

"Mm, you too," Xu Tian replied absentmindedly.

"And also..." Yue Molì spoke again.

"What?" Xu Tian glanced sideways.

"Ah Yi, you should know who is more important to you, right?" Yue Molì's tone was airy, yet somehow made Xu Tian feel an invisible pressure.

But before he could speak, Yue Molì stepped out of the Bar's door first.

Xu Tian watched Yue Molì's back, his heart a mixture of emotions.

They wouldn't have discovered something, would they…

After Yue Molì got into the car, her expression changed, her face turned completely cold.

She dug a phone from her bag and dialed a number.

"Sir…" a respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Jiaoyue, check the guest list of this Bar tonight, see if there's a woman named Tang Bingyan."

"Understood!"

After Xu Tian returned to the villa, he quickly took a shower and lay on the bed.

He was a bit exhausted, but after lying down, he just couldn't fall asleep.

The woman in the black dress he saw at the Bar entrance earlier looked far too much like Tang Bingyan.

But when he called out Tang Bingyan, the other party didn't react.

If it were Tang Bingyan, she couldn't hear her own voice and remain indifferent, right?

He has been on the island for a while, yet still no trace of Tang Bingyan.

Now Jiangcheng is urgent; not only the Tang Family, but also Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue are waiting for him to return.

He can't waste any more time.

But now, aside from staying in Azure Wolf Hall pretending to be the Wolf King, he has no other choice.

Xu Tian didn't understand why Tang Bingyan vanished, and he also worried about Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue's condition; while he was tossing and turning, he suddenly heard a rustling outside the window.

Late at night, the surrounding villas besides his and Qiao Jing Tian's are vacant, so there couldn't possibly be anyone.

people coming.

He quietly sat up from the bed, alertly perking his ears to listen to the sounds outside.

Xu Tian's hearing had always been sharp; after holding his breath and focusing, he heard the downstairs main door go "ka‑da".

The lock had been opened.

The villa had only him inside; if there are no ghosts in this world, there's only one possibility.

An outsider has intruded.

He slipped off the bed, went to the bedroom door, twisted the handle, slipped out of the bedroom, and moved to the shadowy corner of the stairwell, silently looking toward the first‑floor living room.

When he saw the scene in the living room, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw a dozen black silhouettes streaming in from the foyer, tiptoeing toward the stairs.

They were planning to go upstairs!

In the dim light, Xu Tian could only see the black silhouettes, but couldn't discern their faces.

At the same time, due to the darkness, they couldn't see Xu Tian's presence.

Xu Tian immediately remembered that Qiao Jing Tian had once told him that his family had been attacked by assassins, and those assassins seemed to have mistaken the target.

It appears the assassins were after him, but by mistake they stumbled into Qiao Jing Tian's house and even got into a fight with the other side.

Thus Qiao Jing Tian's window was broken, and bloodstains were left on the villa's outer wall.

With that person's skill, a stealthy infiltrating assassin would certainly not survive.

So the mastermind sent another group over.

But Xu Tian couldn't imagine anyone would want his life.

Although many wanted to kill the Wolf King—like Zhou Lao Si and other elders—the candidate who would act so impatiently, he couldn't identify at the moment.

However, the Wolf King has offended more than just those old figures inside Azure Wolf Hall; being so flamboyant, from Qiao Jing Tian to the Thorn Emperor, anyone notable on Wuji Dao he has provoked.

If anyone from other factions wanted to kill the Wolf King, then I would be an undeserved scapegoat.

In the blink of an eye, the shadows had already ascended and were about to pass the corner where Xu Tian stood.

He steeled himself, preemptively struck, hitting the leading shadow squarely in the face.

The person didn't expect Xu Tian to be hiding in the corner; caught off guard, a punch to the face knocked his balance, sending him sprawling backward, and along with him

the dozen people behind him tumbled down the stairs like a rolling snowball, crawling as they fell.

Seizing the assassins' confusion, Xu Tian leapt from the second floor and ran toward the villa's exterior.

These were professional assassins, each formidable; Xu Tian wasn't foolish enough to heroically duel them alone, so at this moment, taking advantage of the chaos, fleeing was the best strategy.

Although Xu Tian struck first, these assassins weren't defenseless; the assassin he punched reacted swiftly, and as soon as he rolled to the first floor, he sprang up like a leaping carp.

"Don't let him escape! Chase!"

"The villa only houses one person; that person must be the Wolf King."

So the assassins also turned around in droves, rushing toward the outside of the villa.

At the same time, Xu Tian had already run out of the courtyard.

He wasn't familiar with the area, and in the desolate outskirts there was no chance of finding reinforcements, so he could only choose to run toward a place where dense trees could provide cover.

The assassins also ran out of the villa; they were determined to kill the Wolf King, each brandishing a Longsword as they sprinted through the night.

Xu Tian took a moment to glance back; these people were not only stronger than him, but even faster in their run.

If he hadn't taken advantage of their unpreparedness and rushed out of the villa first, he would probably have been caught by now.

There was a forest ahead; running into it would indeed allow a temporary hide, but the assassins behind were closing in, leaving him no time to hide.

Moreover, he was unfamiliar with the area, and if he accidentally ran into a dead end, wouldn't he just have to wait for death?

Just as Xu Tian hesitated about whether to dash into the forest, a side road suddenly appeared ahead; he instinctively glanced aside and suddenly saw a familiar villa at the end of the fork.

Right, wasn't that Qiao Jing Tian's residence?

He didn't mistake it; the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows were still unfinished, letting the night wind blow through.

A thought sprang up, and he immediately turned his direction, running toward the villa at the end of the fork.

The assassins behind him pursued relentlessly, and followed Xu Tian into Qiao Jing Tian's villa.

Xu Tian leapt straight through the window; the lack of a window saved him from having to knock on the door for help, buying him precious time.

But the villa was pitch black inside; even though he made such a commotion, Qiao Jing Tian still didn't come out to take a look.
