"Picked up?" Wu Di said in a deep voice, "Do you take us for three-year-olds?"
Clearly, the other party did not believe him.
Because Qin Yi had arrived the previous day when Wu Yao had already fainted, she had not seen Qin Yi picking up the spirit pearl from the ground.
Hu Lekuo shook his numb arm, stood up, and said fiercely, "Uncle Wu, hurry and capture him! The spirit pearl is in his hand, perhaps he is in league with those murderers!"
It had to be said, the other party was quite skilled at pinning false accusations!
"Take him down!"
Wu Di, upon hearing Hu Lekuo's words, gave an order without hesitation, telling Wu Chongshui and the others to act.
Wu Chongshui and several other Wu family members attacked Qin Yi.
Qin Yi dodged their attacks with a few flashes, moving to another side through the gaps.
Wu Di and Wu Yao showed surprise, not expecting Qin Yi to dodge so easily even when Wu Chongshui and the others attacked together.
Wu Chongshui and the others missed their attack, but did not stop, continuing to press Qin Yi.
"Wait a moment..."
Qin Yi wanted them to stop.
But Wu Chongshui and the others would not listen to him, their movements did not cease.
Seeing them closing in, Qin Yi had no choice. He stood his ground, raised his palm, and pushed it towards them from a distance.
A surge of energy emanated from Qin Yi's palm, striking Wu Chongshui and the others, forcing them to stop.
Even under the force of this energy, Wu Chongshui and the others, after stopping, could not control themselves and were pushed back several steps.
Regaining their balance, Wu Chongshui and the others looked at each other with disbelief.
Just as they were about to attack Qin Yi again, Wu Yao's voice rang out this time: "Stop!"
Wu Chongshui and the others halted, turning to look at Wu Yao in confusion.
Hu Lekuo also looked at Wu Yao in confusion and said, "Xiao Yao, why are you telling them to stop? This person attacked you, stole the spirit pearl, and killed Senior Wu Jingshan. Hurry and capture him to avenge Senior Wu Jingshan!"
Qin Yi stared at Hu Lekuo, a cold glint in his eyes that could not be contained!
The other party was too good at making accusations and sowing discord!
Now, even the death of Wu Jingshan was being attributed to him!
Qin Yi flashed forward, instantly appearing in front of Hu Lekuo.
Hu Lekuo's face turned ashen with shock. Before he could react, Qin Yi slapped him across the face.
*Clang.*
Hu Lekuo was sent flying and landed face-first, instantly bleeding from his nose and mouth, looking utterly miserable.
"!!!"
"???"
"..."
Wu Di and the others were stunned. Wu Di rushed forward to shield Hu Lekuo, fearing Qin Yi would strike him again.
"I said, if you blabber again, I'll smash your mouth!"
Qin Yi looked down at Hu Lekuo and said coldly.
Supported by Wu Di, Hu Lekuo stood up. Although Hu Lekuo was filled with extreme hatred for Qin Yi, he was afraid of Qin Yi striking him again and could only suppress himself, saying nothing.
Then, Qin Yi's gaze shifted from Wu Di, sweeping across Wu Di, Wu Yao, and the others, and said, "Since you don't believe me, I'll leave!"
With that, he turned and walked towards the villa door without a moment's delay.
But before he could take two steps, Wu Di caught up to him and blocked his path.
"The situation is not clear yet, and you want to leave? What do you take my Wu family for?" Wu Di said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and with lightning speed, lunged towards Qin Yi's shoulder.
Qin Yi sidestepped to avoid the grab, and his claw changed direction, reaching for Qin Yi's other shoulder.
In this situation, Qin Yi understood that if he did not show them his strength, he would not be able to leave today.
Therefore, Qin Yi stood still, allowing the other's hand to grasp his shoulder.
Wu Di successfully grabbed Qin Yi's shoulder for the second time, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes, thinking he was nothing special!
But as he grabbed Qin Yi's shoulder and was about to speak, he suddenly felt a surge of power erupt from Qin Yi's body.
He had grabbed the other's shoulder, and a force drilled into his body through his palm, making his internal organs tremble.
Moreover, this force seemed to have eyes, as it roamed within his body before reaching his Dantian.
In an instant, Wu Di's face contorted in horror!
If this force were to impact his Dantian, he would be finished!
Just as Wu Di was about to circulate his inner energy, to resist this force with all his might and disperse it, the force returned along the same path, retreating through his arm and out of his body, absorbed back by Qin Yi.
It seemed as if the force had entered his body primarily as a warning.
Instantly, Wu Di stood frozen, staring at Qin Yi, his eyes wide open.
His eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.
After a moment, Qin Yi removed the hand that was still grasping his shoulder, said nothing, and walked away.
This time, Wu Di did not stop him.
Even when Wu Chongshui and the others tried to intervene, he held them back.
And so, they watched Qin Yi leave the villa.
"Patriarch, you're just letting him go like that?" Wu Chongshui asked, confused.
"Uncle Wu, how could you let him go! He's the murderer who attacked Xiao Yao!!!" Hu Lekuo roared in anger.
He had been struck by Qin Yi twice, especially the latter time, which had caused his nose and mouth to bleed profusely.
He felt his face had been completely disgraced and wished he could dismember Qin Yi into ten thousand pieces to vent his hatred. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Wu Di simply let Qin Yi go like this!
"Lekuo, blood is flowing from your nose, go and tend to it quickly!"
Wu Di ignored his words, merely reminding him.
Hu Lekuo wanted to say more, but before he could, fresh blood flowed from his nose, forcing him to swallow his words and attend to his wound first.
"Dad, why?"
Wu Yao withdrew her gaze from Qin Yi's retreating back outside the door and asked Wu Di.
Wu Di pulled Wu Yao aside and said in a low voice, "He's probably not the murderer!"
Wu Yao asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure???"
As a party involved, Wu Yao herself was not entirely sure if Qin Yi was the murderer!
"Because, I believe with his strength, if he truly intended to harm you, you wouldn't have been able to return," Wu Di said with a complex tone.
The power he had felt when he attacked Qin Yi earlier had truly shocked him, or rather, frightened him!
If that final surge of power had not been withdrawn by Qin Yi and had continued to rage within him, impacting his Dantian, he would not have been able to resist, and he would have been finished!
It was precisely for this reason that he had unhesitatingly let Qin Yi leave!
Upon hearing his words, Wu Yao suddenly recalled that yesterday, when Qin Yi had brought her back to the Brilliant Hotel, they had been alone in a room, and he had not done anything to her.
In fact, he had not even removed the veil from her face!
This showed that Qin Yi's character was likely not problematic!
