111 Chapter 110: Sorry lady.

Qin Qianyu sat in first class, she was going over all the news she had missed whilst she was abroad while she could still use her phone.

She had seen that Véridique was leading the charge in the vilification of the Tang family.

Lady Tang even made the news with her deal with Tronic overseas.

"A Billion USD! . . Fuuu, I wonder how this will go down with the shareholders once the news of Tang Mu gets out."

With Tang Mu "fixing" his mistake, his mother was able to proceed with the deal she had been setting up for over a year.

Other than the Tang riots, the rest of the news was run of the mill stuff. However, something soon caught her eye, it was an ad prior to the video starting.

"Beware the wolves?"

The reason this had caught her eye was not because of the crypticness of the clue hidden in the advertisement, but because of the ads content.

The short advertisement only had a video of a fox running through a snow covered forest, then it went to a birds eye view showing the foxes paw prints spelling out the words, while the wolves were shepherding the fox towards a den filled with wolves.

The one leading the pack at the den was silver in colour, the rest were black.

The ad ended, no products or company logo was displayed or anything to identify what the advertisement was about, it just cut to black and the main video started.

Qin Qianyu sat in contemplation for a while. She couldn't help but draw conclusions to her fox identity and the handsome wolf.

"Whether a pure coincidence or a sign from above, it's creepy either way you look at it."

She thought in her heart.

Qin Qianyu couldn't even focus on the video she was watching because her mind was preoccupied with that short advertisement.

An announcement went out over the speakers indicating to switch all electronic devices to flight mode and then the details of the flight proceeded shortly after.

A few hours later, Qin Qianyu had arrived back in the capital. As she was walking out of the arrivals she spotted two more people there as well.

They were Zhang Mi and his wife. Their flight from Laos had just landed too and they were waiting for a taxi.

Qin Qianyu soon met up with Yang Mingchun.

"Madam Yang, apologies for making you wait for me."

"Haha, Xiaoyu, don't be so formal. The way I see it, we're practically comrades in arms so that makes us family. Please call me Grandma Yang,"

Qin Qianyu smiled and nodded,

"Okay, Grandma Yang."

Qin Qianyu and Yang Mingchun walked and talked on their way towards the waiting vehicle which was parked in a reserved spot close to the taxi stand. As the pair engaged in small talk, their conversation was soon disrupted when a commotion rang out close to them.

They soon looked and saw that Zhang Mi and Yan Xiao were surrounded by a mob of angry teenagers and young women.

The reason was because they wouldn't move when their idol was walking towards and pass the taxi stand.

That idol was none other than Owen Xi.

Qin Qianyu pursed her lips as she muttered out with annoyance,

"This idiot again!"

"Oh? . . An acquaintance?"

"Hardly . . Let me tell you,"

Qin Qianyu quickly explained to Grandma Yang what had happened at the auction before she briskly made her way over and through the irate fans, then towards the distraught couple.

"Hurry up and apologise to Owen Xi for standing in his way!"

"Yeah apologise already, look he's waiting patiently for it, why aren't you saying anything to him?"

The fans were all shouting out the same things at them. Two women became aggressive after shouting at the couple that they pushed them over.

The couple looked around at all the young women shouting at them and the person they want them to apologise to.

He looked annoyed to have to wait there for it and was about to wave it of before a booming voice sounded out in an accusatory tone,

"Don't you people know how to be civilised?"

The loud angry voice shocked the mob as Qin Qianyu bowled through them.

Owen Xi looked over and saw that it was Qin Qianyu,

"It's you . . "

Owen Xi muttered quietly. When she cast her angry glare at him he felt nothing but shame.

He had been wanting to meet her again for so long, then when an opportunity had presented itself, it came in the least opportune time.

This entire fiasco would surely cast him in a bad light he thought.

Qin Qianyu paid him no mind. Her face soften as she helped Yan Xiao up. As she did, Qin Qianyu secretly pressed on a few places stealthily before doing the same to Zhang Mi.

"Are the two of you hurt at all? Do you need medical assistance?"

Qin Qianyu asked in a soft voice. It was a stark contrast to the angry boom that she emitted just before.

"Thank you Miss, we are fine."

"Yes, Thank you, I'm just a little shocked at all of this, but otherwise, I'm fine."

The couple nodded in appreciation and say as they both thanked Qin Qianyu.

Owen Xi was about to say something to try and restore his image in front of Qin Qianyu but she beat him to it.

"They say fandoms are a reflection of the artist they follow, I thought Tang Mu was in the area seeing how all of you were acting and carrying on just now! . . . "

" . . . "

"Look, this woman has just gotten out of hospital and flown here, they just want to enter a taxi and get to where they're going, yet what do all you "Tang Mu" fans do? You attack her like Tang Mu did, you attacked them both like those people from that hospital did,"

Qin Qianyu says while point out the hospital bracelet on Yan Xiao's wrist. The fans just then one of them exclaimed,

"We're not Tang Mu fans! We're Owen Xi fans!"

Qin Qianyu scowled then snorted as she stated angrily,

"Is there a difference!? . . Just like Tang Mu, he stood there doing nothing while others attack the innocent in his name! Just like Tang Mu, he stood by and watched on with an angry scowl on his face as you people shoved them to the ground. And just like Tang Mu, he's playing the victim here looking at all of you to do his biding because he's a selfish prick."

Everyone was speechless. Tang Mu and the incidents that involved him were still very fresh in people's minds, so when Qin Qianyu linked the two, they soon started seeing themselves as the nurses and doctors that had been arrested for their attacks on Wu Yihuan.

Owen Xi started feeling that there was no difference between him and Tang Mu, at least in character.

Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse though, Qin Qianyu tossed them the grenade.

"But that's not all, this man here, he's just like Tang Mu's victim, do you believe me?"

" . . . "

Qin Qianyu glared at Owen Xi then spoke out firmly,

"I'll tell you now Mr Xi, this man's background is on par with that innocent young lady that was victimised by Tang Mu. You should believe me when I say that. Here's a reminder, think back to all the people that were around me,"

When Qin Qianyu said that she pointed to a tv. On it, was Lin Xie during the press conference taken at the hospital.

When he saw Lin Xie, then recalled the people around Qin Qianyu at that time at the hotel, his body went limp as he realised that they were both one in the same.

He stumbled towards Zhang Mi and his wife and fell to his knees,

"Sorry lady, it's all my fault, it was all my arrogance that made me act in such away. Sir it's my fault completely for being ruled by my arrogance, please forgive me."

When the fans heard Owen Xi apologise to the couple, the women that had pushed them soon followed suit and gave their apologies. Soon all the fans were doing the same.

Zhang Mi and Yan Xiao were about to stop them but Qin Qianyu intervened,

"You! . . You're an idol, a person with a large number of followers who holds considerable influence and what do you do with it? You use it to flex on others? Did it make you feel big to pick on a worried husband and his sick wife? Does it empower you to use your idol status to bully others? . . And then there's you lot."

Qin Qianyu says to Owen Xi with conviction in her voice before she then pointed out the fans there, then points at Zhang Mi.

"Why does it take all of you to finally know that he has a powerful background for you to start acting like humans!? . . Why was it so hard to do so in the first place!? . . Is it so damn hard for all of you to actually be kind?"

Qin Qianyu said nothing more. Zhang Mi and his wife said nothing as well only giving a throaty response.

A taxi pulled up, Qin Qianyu walked over and opened the door,

"Mr Zhang, Mrs Yan, welcome back to the capital."

The couple were surprised when they heard the young lady.

"Miss do we know each other?"

"Sorry to spook you both, but seeing as you've signed the second contract let's leave it at that."

Zhang Mi's eyes went wide and he nodded to Qin Qianyu.

Qin Qianyu then motioned for the couple to board the taxi. As they did, they thanked her again and Qin Qianyu sent them off.

Qin Qianyu turned around to look for grandma Yang. When she spotted her, she walked away from the kneeling mob and idol and the pair hopped into a luxury car waiting in the VVIP reserved parking.

The idol and his fans saw this and gulped.

They knew that only certain people could have their vehicles parked there and neither they or their idol fell into that category.

The fans quickly left the scene, frightened and ashamed. Owen Xi stood there in a trance.

"Ever since that damn auction nothings gone right for me! . . Who the hell did I piss off in my previous life to deserve all of this!?"

He asked himself, Owen Xi then noticed the stares he was getting from the other travellers outside the airport. He made his way to where his manager was parked and waiting for him.

As he got in the van, his manager turns and asked,

"How was it!? . . Do I need to find you a secret hotel for the night?"

"Shut up! . . This was the worst night ever! Let's get out of here."

Owen Xi says. The contentious feeling of frustration permeated inside the van.

His manager nodded and drove out.

In the taxi the couple were still in their state of shock.

"Mi gege, was the young lady perhaps your new boss?"

"I . . Don't know,"

Zhang Mi shook his head and uttered out. A small smile formed on Yan Xiao's lips as she replied,

"Well, whoever she is, she's such a kind and wonderful person. Just with her picking me up I felt so refreshed and energised, it was unreal."

"Mhm, I felt the same thing too. I don't know whose life we saved in our previous lives to be shown such mercy now, but I'm truly glad we did."

The couple chatted quietly as they headed to their destination. They were heading to Zhang Jun's house to surprise both him and their son.

Inside the luxury car, Qin Qianyu explained to Yang Mingchun that Zhang Mi was now one of her people.

The pair engaged in small talk as they drove towards the hospital. When the pair arrived, Qin Qianyu stayed in the car,

Qin Qianyu didn't bother fully changing. She threw on the hooded cloak her boots and fox mask as she sat in the car.

She had her medical pouch with her and the two soon entered the hospital room.

Qin Qianyu went straight to the charts, she then leafed through the detailed pages and frowned as she did.

"What kind of toxic cocktail did they give you?"

There were signs of blockers, neuro inhibitors, several antidepressants, THC, the list went on. All of it seemed to target cognitive thinking and memory functions, both long and short term.

Qin Qianyu explained to Yang Mingchun what the charts had recorded.

She was truly flabbergasted as she replied,

"It seems that someone really didn't want Xiao Yixu . . Ah, Wu Yihuan to recall the incident at the antique store. They would rather turn her into a vegetable than face any repercussions."

"This reeks of a tactic "he" would use."

"He?"

" . . . "

Yang Mingchun stood there in a somber state of being as she looked Wu Yihuan over.

"The man that married a woman of Tang,"

Qin Qianyu understood who "he" was now, it was Xi Jiangshan. Yang Mingchun said nothing further as she gently brushed the hair out of Wu Yihuan's face.

Her thoughts were only known to herself, but it carried a sense of self loathing as she slowly uttered out.

"I taught her everything she knows. I was so proud of that fact. Yet, it still didn't help her in the end."

Yang Mingchun looked even more distraught at this point.

Qin Qianyu saw this and simply added,

"She really wasn't in her best condition. Wu Yihuan was still in the recovery phase from "dying" so it should have been expected that she couldn't function to full capacity. None of this is your fault, or Wu Yihuan's. Rest assured, I'll do everything within in my abilities to make her as she was before all of this."

Yang Mingchun looked to Qin Qianyu and gave a small smile as she replied,

"Haha, being consoled by a child is such a, novelty or should I say rarity even in this day and age. I have the utmost faith in that old coot's only disciple."

"Mhm, thanks for the vote of confidence."

With that said, Qin Qianyu got into action.

Qin Qianyu first checked Wu Yihuan's pulse then after a few moments nodded as she determined the best course of action based on her findings.

She started by massaging the woman's body. This did two things. It unwound the tightened muscles and it also activated the brain to release a set of chemicals to flow within the body to enable it to help Qin Qianyu use her needles effectively.

With that done, she started by drawing out the cocktail mixture of drugs inside of Wu Yihuan. This took several attempts to rid Wu Yihuan of all the toxins inside of her.

It was brought out through the sweat glands, with Yang Mingchun there, she was collecting the secretions while Qin Qianyu manipulated the needles.

Suddenly, the doors to Wu Yihuan's room opened up and the duty doctor doing rounds with four others walked in.

They looked to Yang Mingchun who was wiping down Wu Yihuan, then to Qin Qianyu who was manipulating the needles inserted into the patient's body and head.

"Stop what you're doing this instant! . . You have no authority to be here! . . Security, hold them both in custody then call the police to get these two out of this hospital."

Qin Qianyu and Yang Mingchun looked for a brief moment, Qin Qianyu just muttered,

"It's fine, just keep wiping the toxins away. But you might want to cover up her two "besties" least they be coveted by those guys standing over there."

" . . . "

The other four seemed to have had their stares noticed by Qin Qianyu. Then promptly turned around or fiddled with whatever was close by.
