Chapter 661: Chapter 300: Kuang Huan Accident_3

When faced with issues, everyone was very willing to help each other.

Xing Yu also asked, "If it’s troublesome, just let us know. Although we’re not very capable, together we’re still a force to reckon with."

The Martial Arts Academy was also a social circle that could form a nexus of shared interests.

For "modestly wealthy" people like them, banding together for warmth could also exert a non-negligible strength.

"No need, it’s a small matter, just a friend of mine ran into a bit of trouble—I’m going to check on him," said Qi Yuan casually.

As he spoke, he sent a message to Lingyi with his phone, instructing them to arrange a train ticket for him.

"Good to know it’s a small matter," Wang Shiqiao sighed in relief, "but you should handle it quickly. Don’t miss the Martial Arts Conference in three days."

"Mhm," Qi Yuan nodded, said his goodbyes to everyone, and left the Martial Arts Academy.

...

In Xinyang City, within a luxuriously decorated villa.

The young lady’s face still bore tear stains, and at this moment, she was mentally distraught and completely at a loss.

Beside her was a burly woman whose eyes were filled with raging fury ready to burst forth.

"Damn it, all this bullshit about the big picture, about not being able to step forward.

My brother worked for them, and now he’s been captured by Wugui, and they neither speak of a rescue nor apply diplomatic pressure, even going as far to disavow any connection?"

The burly woman was furious as she mentioned this.

She was Kuang Huan’s younger sister, Kuang Xi, but at this moment, she felt anything but joy.

The young lady looked haggard, "I went to that general, and he said he’s powerless to do anything about this."

"Powerless? Isn’t he just afraid of giving them a pretext?" Kuang Xi gritted her teeth and said, "He just doesn’t want to put in the effort!"

Kuang Huan had always worked for the military of Qin Yuan Nation, helping to clear out some stockpiles of arms and supporting Yuelang Nation against Wugui Nation.

This time, a traitor emerged within Qin Yuan Nation, leading to Kuang Huan’s exposure and subsequent capture by the military of Wugui Nation.

"However, that general also said... there’s no threat to Kuang Huan’s life, and he told us to just wait peacefully. At best, in three years, Wugui Nation would send Kuang Huan back.

I pleaded with others, and most had the same thing to say," the young lady said, feeling helpless.

She came from a rather ordinary background and found herself somewhat unable to handle such major issues without Kuang Huan.

The generals above Kuang Huan were unwilling to help her, leaving her without recourse.

She reached out to many of Kuang Huan’s friends, only to receive similar responses.

These people, none of them willing to get involved, mostly just comforted her to take it easy and wait, assuring her that Kuang Huan would definitely be released eventually.

But without seeing Kuang Huan, she couldn’t be at peace.

"A bunch of trash. When my brother was around, they were all fawning over us. Now that he’s in trouble, they treat us like we have the plague?" Kuang Xi grew angrier the more she spoke.

"At least there’s Mr. Qi, who’s willing to come here.

I don’t know if he has a way to rescue Kuang Huan." The young lady had come to regard Qi Yuan as her only lifeline.

"Mr. Qi... who is he?" Kuang Xi looked puzzled.

She didn’t know much about Qi Yuan.

"He is..." The young lady hesitated for a moment, "someone my husband greatly admires."

"Someone my brother admires? Could it be someone from a major family?" Kuang Xi questioned, then despair settled in again.

In this situation, even someone from a major family’s intervention would be futile.

After all, it was a power play between two great nations.

Even small aristocrats like them could be sacrificed at any moment.

But thinking of Mr. Qi’s willingness to come brought a glimmer of comfort to Kuang Xi’s heart.

Even if it was in vain, at least his intention was clear.
