"What happened to your brother? Did the Shangguan family take him away?"

Seeing Zhang Yuqi crying in utter despair, Qin Tian was instantly filled with rage.

At this moment, besides the Shangguan family, who else would dare to lay a hand on Zhang Runhao?

Sure enough, Zhang Yuqi said, "I don't know who those people were. They stormed into my house, beat my brother, and then one of them gave me a letter to hand to you personally, or else they said they'd kill him tomorrow! Sob..."

At these words, Qin Tian was momentarily stunned.

Just then, Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang rushed downstairs, and when Qin Tian was about to reach for the letter, Zhou Yang shouted, "Boss, wait a minute, be careful of the letter!"

With Zhou Yang's reminder, Qin Tian's hand stopped in mid-air.

He had indeed let his anger cloud his judgment, with no precaution taken.

Indeed, if the envelope had poison on it, just a touch could pose a problem.

The people of the Shangguan family might indeed resort to such despicable tactics.

At that moment, Qin Tian glanced at Zhang Yuqi and said, "Yuqi, don't worry, your brother's problem is my problem, and I will definitely ensure his safety."

After saying that, Qin Tian took the gloves handed over by Zhou Yang, put them on, and began to examine the letter.

Thud!

Just as Qin Tian started to carefully observe the letter, Zhang Yuqi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly shivered and then fell backward!

"Catch her!"

Qin Tian frowned and shouted.

Xiao Zhuang rushed forward at the moment Zhang Yuqi fell, quickly catching her, then checked her breathing, saying, "She's still breathing!"

He took Zhang Yuqi's pulse, frowned, and said, "Poisoned!"

At this declaration, Qin Tian, Zhou Yang, and Xiao Zhuang looked at each other, their hearts inexplicably tightening.

"That letter! It must be the letter that's poisoned!"

Qin Tian found a bag, wrapped the letter in it, then removed his gloves and personally took Zhang Yuqi's pulse.

"This is deadly poison! Damn it, those Shangguan people are brutal, harming an innocent girl like this!"

Feeling the toxins spreading in Zhang Yuqi's body, Qin Tian wasted no time and carried Zhang Yuqi inside the villa, starting to use his acupuncture technique to halt the poison.

"This poison is so strange, and I don't have much experience in antidotes. Just managing to control the spread of the poison is already fortunate. To detoxify and save Yuqi, I'm afraid we'll need Wan'er here."

After a simple acupuncture treatment for Zhang Yuqi, Qin Tian looked at Xiao Zhuang and said, "Old Three, call Wan'er and have her come to Beijing ASAP. The sooner, the better; have Jiang Hu escort Wan'er to Beijing."

Xiao Zhuang nodded and called Tang Wan and Jiang Hu.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang had put on gloves and a mask, examining the poisoned letter.

"The envelope is covered in poison... tsk, tsk, how sinister of Shangguan Zhenxiong!"

Zhou Yang, angered by Shangguan Zhenxiong's attack on innocent Zhang Yuqi, said, "Boss, it seems like there's really a letter inside the envelope, take a look."

With great caution, Zhou Yang opened the envelope, held his breath, and extracted a piece of paper from inside.

"So it's really Shangguan Zhenxiong."

Unfolding the paper and seeing its contents, Zhou Yang gritted his teeth.

Qin Tian, also putting on gloves and a mask, walked over, took the piece of paper, and saw only two sentences written on it:

"If you're still alive, come to the Shangguan family for a gathering at noon tomorrow. If you don't come, people will die!"

Simply put, these two sentences were both threatening and provoking; this Shangguan Zhenxiong truly was ruthless.

"Boss, you can't go!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhou Yang said sternly to Qin Tian, "Going to their Shangguan family, Shangguan Zhenxiong is really imagining things. His intellect must be seriously lacking!"

Xiao Zhuang, after seeing the content, also said, "Indeed, it's obviously a trap; Boss, if you go, it really is... very unlikely to make it out."

Xiao Zhuang spoke sincerely, his gaze intersecting with Qin Tian's; Qin Tian could see the deep concern in Xiao Zhuang's eyes.

Indeed, both Xiao Zhuang and Zhou Yang knew that Shangguan Zhenxiong's strength surpassed Qin Tian's.

Originally Shangguan Zhenxiong was already enough to kill Qin Tian in a duel.

And now, greedy Shangguan Zhenxiong wanted Qin Tian to visit the Shangguan family openly. If the Shangguan family planned any schemes and ambushes, Qin Tian might be killed by Shangguan Zhenxiong a hundred times over.

In the past, faced with similar situations, Xiao Zhuang and the others didn't worry so much about Qin Tian's safety because they knew Qin Tian was highly skilled; even in a hail of bullets, he could possibly escape.

But now things were different. With Shangguan Zhenxiong, a super martial arts master, present, Qin Tian might not even escape as quickly as Shangguan Zhenxiong could catch up.

If he went to the appointment, surely, there would be no coming back.

Qin Tian hesitated, aware of the concern his two brothers felt.

"No rush, the appointment is for tomorrow, let me think it over a bit more."

Qin Tian didn't give a definitive answer, instead saying they'd wait to see about Zhang Yuqi's poisoning once Tang Wan returned.

But with such a major incident, Lin Yu, Cao Guojun, Yu Linglong, and Murong Fei naturally all found out during lunch.

Instantly, everyone became worried for Qin Tian.

However, with things having escalated to this point, they all knew Zhang Runhao was Qin Tian's apprentice, his only apprentice.

Back then, Zhang Runhao got himself into trouble trying to help Qin Tian, even implicating his parents.

This act of loyalty could not go unrepaid by Qin Tian.

If Qin Tian didn't go to the meeting, Zhang Runhao would surely die.

But if Qin Tian went, both Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao might die!

This was a deadly dilemma.

"Qin Tian, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I still have to say that with Zhang Runhao in the hands of someone as ruthless as Shangguan Zhenxiong, whether we try to rescue him or not, he might..."

Murong Fei hesitated, looking at Qin Tian. "And if you go, it's really just throwing your life away. There's no way they'll be foolish enough to let us save Zhang Runhao from Shangguan Zhenxiong."

Murong Fei spoke for everyone, and after she finished, everyone waited in silence for Qin Tian's response.

"I know the peril of this situation, but..."

Qin Tian's gaze swept over everyone, "He's my apprentice, I must save him, even if I have to risk my life, I will save him!"
