Yang Qingshu still remembered that the Qinawa Clan was on the west side of the square.

This meant that the recent bursts of gunfire were aimed at the Qinawa Clan and others.

And linking it with the scene he saw on the mountain earlier...

It’s very likely that something has already happened to the Qinawa Clan!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

He wondered if Tongtai and Anlin were injured in the shooting.

The Qinawa Clan would probably have arranged some bodyguards, so there shouldn’t be any major issues, right?

But given the suddenness of the incident, could those bodyguards react in time?

Thinking about it, Yang Qingshu wanted to run to the west side of the square to check the situation and confirm that Tongtai and the others were safe.

"Song Qing, you and Zhao, Ma stay here. It will be safer to go down the mountain after the crowd has thinned!"

Yang Qingshu had already made up his mind and turned to Song Qing beside him.

"Old Yang, this incident has nothing to do with us!"

"We don’t need to get involved!"

Hearing this, Song Qing immediately understood his intention and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Sigh!"

Yang Qingshu sighed, shook his head, and said: "I’ve known Tongtai and Anlin for ten or twenty years."

"I really can’t go down the mountain without confirming their safety!"

"But... but..."

Song Qing wanted to say something else.

Yang Qingshu waved his hand, his expression resolute: "I’ve already decided!"

"They are my friends, I must ensure their safety!"

Looking at her resolute boyfriend in front of her, Song Qing suddenly recalled the situation in the Li Family Village on Mingqing Mountain back then.

She was willing to be Yang Qingshu’s girlfriend because of his loyalty and righteousness, wasn’t she?

"Then... then be careful!"

"Bullet doesn’t have eyes, don’t try to show off!"

Song Qing knew she couldn’t dissuade Yang Qingshu, so she carefully instructed him.

"Don’t worry, I know!"

Yang Qingshu nodded with a smile, turned to Zhao Jinde and Ma, and said softly: "Zhao, Ma, take good care of Xiaoqing!"

"Don’t worry, Brother Yang!"

"The two of us will not let anything happen to her!"

Zhao Jinde and Ma patted their chests and promised.

"Good!"

Yang Qingshu nodded firmly, gave Song Qing a hug, and then jumped off the stone platform.

Soon, his figure disappeared into the crowd.

...

Yang Qingshu avoided the fleeing crowd and cautiously approached the west side of the square.

Due to the gunfire just now, many dragon and lion dance props were scattered on the ground, along with some overturned incense burners.

As he got closer, there were eight or nine bodies shot dead on the ground.

He glanced roughly; these faces were all unfamiliar to him.

But judging from their attire, they seemed to be bodyguards of the Qinawa Clan.

The attackers probably opened fire suddenly, killing all these bodyguards before they could react.

"Fortunately, there’s no Tongtai and Anlin!"

Yang Qingshu breathed a long sigh of relief, then suddenly frowned.

The attackers only killed the bodyguards and did not kill any members of the Qinawa Clan.

So, was the other party’s goal to kidnap the entire Qinawa Clan?

Thinking of this, he was unsure if he should continue searching.

The attackers had guns, and he had nothing; getting involved seemed unwise.

Moreover, he could now confirm that Tongtai and Anlin’s lives weren’t in immediate danger.

After all, unless the attackers were fools, they wouldn’t kill them so quickly!

But... what if?

Thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Qingshu, your personality will be the death of you someday!"

Saying this, he picked up several handguns on the ground, tucking them into his jacket or waist.

Being a member of the Wulin City local shooting club, though not a great shot, he knew how to use a gun.

And today would be the opening day for Gun God Yang!

"Come on, you can do it!"

Yang Qingshu encouraged himself and continued searching for Tongtai and the others.

He had no idea where to look.

Yet, in his mind, the scene he saw on the mountain flashed back.

The attackers were likely the four burly men in suits following Menglai Qinawa.

Thinking of this, he rushed around the square, heading straight for the woods on the back mountain.

As soon as he rounded the back mountain, he saw three more bodies.

Among them, two were Qinawa Clan bodyguards.

And the other was one of those four suited brutes.

He recognized this person immediately by a black mole on his forehead.

"Looks like they really headed towards the back mountain!"

"But what’s in the back mountain?"

"Besides the Qinawa Clan’s ancestral tomb, there’s really nothing else."

"Why on earth did these people bring the Qinawa Clan members to the ancestral tomb in the back mountain?"

"Kidnapping for ransom? Or something else?"

Yang Qingshu thought for a while but couldn’t figure out the attackers’ purpose.

"Forget it, instead of wasting brain cells here, I might as well sneak in quietly and take a look!"

He pulled out a gun from his jacket and sneaked into the back mountain woods.

After entering the woods and walking a short distance, he suddenly heard voices.

He quickly hid behind a big tree.

Then, he saw two men in suits walking and conversing.

Unfortunately, Yang Qingshu didn’t understand Talan, so he couldn’t grasp what they were saying.

But soon, his eyes widened, filled with astonishment.

The reason...

One of them was one of the four suited brutes coercing Menglai Qinawa.

And the other was unmistakably dressed as a Qinawa Clan bodyguard!

This meant the four suited brutes weren’t acting alone!

There must be a traitor within the Qinawa Clan!

Moreover, the traitor’s status wasn’t low.

Otherwise, how could they command the family bodyguards?

"A traitor within the Qinawa Clan?"

"Who could it be?"

Yang Qingshu’s mind flashed through several images.

Unfortunately, with too little evidence, he couldn’t pinpoint the traitor’s identity.

But he was sure that the traitor couldn’t be Menglai Qinawa.

After all, the old guy had been beaten by the four suited brutes until he had panda eyes.

How could the mastermind behind all this lose face like that?

After the two suited men walked away, Yang Qingshu sneaked out from behind the tree and discreetly followed.

"Chattering... Chattering..."

Just as he was tailing them, they suddenly muttered a few words, then drew their guns to shoot...
