Long Yan was so angry with Xiao Yun that he couldn't even eat breakfast and left in a huff. However, Xiao Yun didn't care at all and continued to eat heartily, as if nothing had happened.
For Old Dragon, this was certainly displeasing. In Dragon Manor, no one had ever dared to be so reckless in front of him. He thought to himself that Xiao Yun was truly outrageous, and it seemed necessary to cast a Tightening Spell on him soon. Otherwise, once they reached Island Nation, Long Yan would really have no way to control him.
Old Dragon had already arranged for the Flight Ticket to Galactic District. After finishing breakfast, Xiao Yun, accompanied by Long Yan and two Special Police officers, hurried to the airport.
Just as Xiao Yun left, Old Dragon got into his car, accompanied by a group of Special Police officers, bringing along the Shadow Empire's Roster to meet the highest leaders of Huaxia. By noon, Gape quickly spread throughout Beijing; except for Wei Qinghe and Han Ziqi, who had hidden themselves away, Hua Fengchun and others were secretly arrested.
At the same time, another operation was being rolled out nationwide. Old Dragon personally commanded it, making phone calls to various branches of the Dragon Team across the country. Just as he was about to call Qin Yun, he had no idea that she had already arrived at Dragon Manor.
Qin Yun received the "death news" about Xiao Yun late last night. This news completely stunned her, causing a bone-deep pain that swept through her entire body.
She couldn't understand how someone as capable as Xiao Yun could possibly die at the hands of those Special Police officers.
Qin Yun thought that her grandfather must have intended to eliminate Xiao Yun and took advantage of the situation to kill him without leaving a trace. She knew her grandfather's character; if he wanted to get rid of someone, he would have a hundred ways to do it.
Anger immediately ignited in Qin Yun's chest.
She even suspected that Xiao Yun's death was related to her; it must be that Old Dragon learned about her feelings for Xiao Yun and thus took such drastic measures against him.
Therefore, in order to confront Old Dragon with an explanation, Qin Yun rushed overnight to Beijing.
Just as Qin Yun walked out of the airport, she did not expect that Xiao Yun had disguised himself and was boarding a plane with Long Yan and others heading for Galactic District.
When Qin Yun suddenly appeared at Dragon Manor, Old Dragon was taken aback. Upon seeing his granddaughter's face filled with grief and anger, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Yun'er, I was just about to call you! I didn't expect you to come!" Old Dragon genuinely loved this granddaughter and felt an indescribable joy upon seeing Qin Yun arrive.
"Old Dragon, how did Xiao Yun die? Please tell me directly," Qin Yun demanded angrily.
"This... this..." Old Dragon was momentarily at a loss for how to answer her question.
In fact, Old Dragon could have told Qin Yun the truth about Xiao Yun's faked death, but he really did not want his granddaughter to get involved with Xiao Yun.
After all, Qin Yun was the head of the provincial Procuratorate, and in terms of status and position, Xiao Yun was simply not a match for her. Moreover, Xiao Yun was known for his reckless behavior and had so many women around him; Old Dragon would absolutely not allow his granddaughter to have any relationship with such a person.
Old Dragon placed great importance on family reputation. Therefore, he did not want to reveal the truth about Xiao Yun to her.
To completely sever the connection between Qin Yun and Xiao Yun, Old Dragon even decided that after dealing with the matters of the Shadow Empire, he would arrange for Qin Yun to work in the United States. This way, even if Xiao Yun returned from the Island Nation, they would not have a chance to meet.
Seeing Old Dragon's hesitant demeanor only fueled Qin Yun's anger further. "Why won't you answer my question? Just say it!"
Old Dragon wore a pained expression and sighed, "Is Xiao Yun more important to you than your grandfather?"
After hearing Old Dragon's words, Qin Yun became even angrier. "Don't call yourself my grandfather; my grandfather is in Pearl City. You must remember how my parents died!"
At the mention of her parents, Old Dragon trembled. The deaths of his son and daughter-in-law had always been a painful scar in his heart. To outsiders, this bloody and brutal old man had secretly shed countless tears.
"Yun'er, I... cough cough..." Old Dragon bent over in pain, coughing several times.
Faced with Old Dragon's suffering appearance, Qin Yun paid him no mind. Deep down, she loved Xiao Yun profoundly; his death had completely shattered her heart.
Qin Yun deeply regretted that if she had known Xiao Yun would leave this world, she would have given herself to him long ago.
That said, if Qin Yun had anticipated that Old Dragon intended to harm Xiao Yun, she would have fought to protect him even at the cost of her own life.
“Yun'er, let me explain to you,”
Old Dragon finally managed to catch his breath and said, “I do bear responsibility for Xiao Yun's death. But do you know? He killed so many people in Beijing for a woman, and I had no choice but to step in and arrest him. I know you like him, and my intention in arresting him was actually to protect him. But who would have thought he would openly attack the police, forcing the Special Police to shoot him…”
As he spoke, Qin Yun let out a cold laugh and said, “Old Dragon, do you think I don’t understand Xiao Yun? With his abilities, those Special Police around you could never kill him. Hmph, I suspect you deliberately wanted to eliminate him, luring him into your trap to have him killed.”
Hearing Qin Yun's words, Old Dragon became anxious and said, “Yun'er, how can you not trust your own grandfather? I clearly know you like him; how could I possibly lure him into danger?”
“Shut up! I told you, you are not my grandfather. I don’t believe a word of what you say!” Qin Yun shouted angrily.
Smack!
Old Dragon was also provoked by his granddaughter and slammed the table hard. “Qin Yun, it’s one thing for you not to acknowledge me as your grandfather, but as the highest leader of the Dragon Team, shouldn’t you speak to me with more respect?”
Qin Yun sneered and said, “Don’t use the Dragon Team to pressure me. Let me tell you, starting today, I’m leaving the Dragon Team. You can follow the rules of the Dragon Team and execute me if you wish.”
With that, Qin Yun took out her identification card from the Dragon Team and slammed it onto the table in front of Old Dragon.
“You… Yun'er, how could you do this…” Old Dragon trembled with anger.
Qin Yun didn’t want to say anything more. No matter what she said, Xiao Yun was already gone. Tears welled up in her eyes as she silently stood up from the sofa, turned around, and almost stumbled as she walked out.
Old Dragon panicked and asked, “Yun'er, where are you going?”
“I’m going to the Galactic District. From now on, I’ll be working at his company!” Qin Yun replied coldly.
“No way!”
Old Dragon feared that his granddaughter would arrive at the Galactic District, encounter Long Yan, and recognize Xiao Yun, leading them to become entangled once again.
He would rather have this granddaughter hate him for a lifetime than ruin her happiness forever.
In Old Dragon's mind, there were too many women around Xiao Yun. Being by the side of such a fickle man, what happiness could Qin Yun possibly have?
Old Dragon said, “Yun'er, as the Deputy Director of a provincial Procuratorate, how can you lower yourself to work at a Private Company?”
Qin Yun coldly replied, “This is my business, and you have no right to interfere!”
With that, she strode out the door.
Old Dragon was thoroughly enraged by his granddaughter's stubbornness and shouted, “Someone, stop her!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of Special Police surged out from the shadows, armed with guns, surrounding Qin Yun.
“What do you want?” Qin Yun's eyes immediately flashed with killing intent as she drew her own gun.
As a member of the Dragon Team, Qin Yun always carried a handgun for self-defense when going out.
Old Dragon rushed out and sternly said, “Qin Yun, do you dare to oppose the Dragon Team? Go, capture her!”
