 Chapter 1: 1 Return from Prison!

    "Qin Jiang, thank you, you fool, for taking the me and going to prison for twenty years on my behalf. Let me tell you the truth, that night, actually nothing happened between us!"

    "The marriage certificate was fake! The pregnancy was also a lie to deceive you!"

    "All of this was a trap set by our Luo Family to trick you into taking the me for me! You think a toad like you deserves to eat swan meat?"

    "Qin Jiang, you loser, rot in prison for the rest of your life!"

    Outside Tiandu Prison.

    Qin Jiang stepped out, his deep gaze looking into the distance, with those words from three years ago still echoing in his ears. Before his eyes emerged the smug and disgusting face of that woman!

    Three years ago.

    He was an employee of the Luo Familypany. After apany party and a night of heavy drinking, he woke to find himself in bed with Miss Luo, Luo Shifei!

    With no choice, he went to the Luo Family to ask for her hand in marriage. Half a monthter, when Luo Shifei was caught in the midst of financial crimes, she and her family deceived him by saying she was carrying his child and pleaded with him to take the me for her and go to prison!

    For the sake of his wife and child, he resolutely took the me and was sent nking into prison!

    However, less than three days into his imprisonment, Luo Shifei came to "visit" him in prison, telling him it was all a thorough scam!

    Everything was fake.

    It was all a trap set by the Luo Family to deceive him!

    Knowing the truth, Qin Jiang was furious. He shook the iron bars violently and roared, wishing he could tear the smug woman in front of him into pieces! But in the end, he could only watch powerlessly as she walked away with glee...

    Afterward, he suffered all manner of bullying in prison, living through days of utter darkness!

    Luckily, the Zhao Couple, who were also his prison mates and knew he was wrongfully imprisoned, took pity on him and secretly looked after him. But three months after his imprisonment, the Zhao Couple died tragically in prison...

    Then, a crazy old man came to the prison, iming he wanted to take him as a disciple. Unexpectedly, this old man turned out to be a remarkable figure with the Competence of Reaching the Sky, imparting to him miraculous arts like medicine, martial arts, geomancy, divination... and so on!

    From then on, he gained a terrifying power that allowed him to stand his ground in prison andmanded respect from everyone!

    Now, he hase out!

    Qin Jiang clenched his fists tightly, his gaze aze with intense hatred, "Those of you who harmed me back then, I will make you pay back a hundredfold!"

    "And Muge... how are you doing now?"

    Thinking of Xu Muge, who had given up so much for him, a wave of guilt surged in his heart!

    Xu Muge, his fianc¨¦e.

    Three years ago, after the news spread that he had been involved with Luo Shifei, Xu Muge was heartbroken. With tears, she furiouslyshed out at him, calling him a scumbag, and broke off their rtionship on the spot.

    However, it wasn''t until after he was imprisoned that he learned about all Xu Muge had done for him behind his back...

    For him, she ran around collecting evidence! For him, she sought favors from all quarters!

    In the end, while pleading on his behalf, she was shed over a hundred times by that beast surnamed Chu, leaving her face disfigured... Her family was also driven out of the Xu Family home, left destitute and downcast!

    "Muge, you silly girl..."

    Qin Jiang was filled with immense guilt and looked up, letting out a long sigh, "With such profound kindness, how can I ever repay it?"

    As he was lost in his thoughts, a ck sedan slowly approached. It was a nearly ten million luxury car ¡ª a Rolls-Royce Cullinan!

    "Master!" The man respectfully approached Qin Jiang and bowed in greeting.

    The man''s name was Shen Longting, the richest man in Jiangcheng.

    He single-handedly built Longting Group with a market value of tens of billions, making it a business giant and a behemoth-like presence in Jiangcheng.

    Qin Jiang asked indifferently, "Shen, what message has the old man sent this time?"

    "The senior instructed me to hand over the position of chairman of the group to you upon your release from prison and assist you with all my might," the man replied.

    Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "We''ll talk about thatter. Let''s go, it''s time to go home."

    Having not returned home for three years, he wondered how his mother and sister were doing now?

    Last time his mother came to see him, it was six months ago, looking so haggard and aged that it was heartbreaking...

    And his sister Qin Sisi, even more disappointed in him, harboring resentment, came to see him only once in three years.

    Thinking of his own foolish actions in the past.

    Qin Jiang''s heart was filled with guilt towards his mother and sister...

    The car sped all the way to an old district in eastern Jiangcheng. After getting out of the car, Qin Jiang, eager to be home, hurried towards his house!

    Along the way, some neighbors recognized Qin Jiang, all casting sidelong nces and whispering to each other, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered with their pointing and whispering.

    Instead, he quickened his pace.

    But just as he reached the stairs, he heard amotion of shouting and the sound of porcin shattering!

    "Smash! Smash it hard for me! And capture that crippled woman!"

    "Stop it! You beasts, stop, don''t touch my daughter..."

    "Please, no, I''m begging you on my knees..."

    "We''ll move, we''ll move right now! Please spare my daughter! She has already suffered enough..."

    "Is that mother''s voice? What has happened?"

    Qin Jiang''s heart pounded fiercely, a terrifying chill erupted from his being, and whoever dared to bully his family was going to pay a price!

    He charged upstairs like a bolt of lightning!

    Inside the house!

    Wen Wenling thumped to the floor on her knees, desperately pleading with one of the thugs!

    "Dammit, you poor nail-household pests, a bunch of lowlifes, dare to go against the Luo Family? Today, we will properly teach you a lesson!"

    "Old woman, let me tell you, the Master personally instructed us to give your daughter special treatment... Hehe, although she''s crippled! She''s pretty and delicate, definitely a delight to y with!"

    A group of thugs burst into licentiousughter as one of them kicked Wen Wenling aside, advancing toward Qin Sisi, who sat in a wheelchair, with a ferocious grin!

    "Get away from me!"

    Qin Sisi''s pretty face showed terror, trying to escape, but the thug caught her, tearing off her clothes, exposing a vast expanse of white skin!

    "Let her go!"

    Qin Sisi struggled frantically! But how could she match the strength of a grown man? Tears of humiliation rolled down her eyes...

    The thug''s eyes gleamed with lust, his filthy hand about to touch Qin Sisi!

    At that moment! There was a loud noise. The locked door was violently kicked open, and a murderously intense figure appeared at the doorway!

    Qin Jiang stared at the scene before him, feeling as if his heart was struck by a heavy hammer, his eyes filled with rage, anger soaring to the heavens!

    A violent intent to kill spread out slowly...

    The group of thugs all turned back, ncing askance at Qin Jiang.

    "Who the fuck dares to mess with our fun?"

    "Looking for death? Get lost!"

    Secondster, the thug in front of Qin Sisi suddenlyughed out loud.

    "I remember now! Aren''t you that fool who went to jail for Miss Luo Shifei? Out of prison, are you? Tsk tsk¡ª"

    "What! You fool, do you also want to see how we y with your sister?"

    "Then we''ll amodate you. You can watch on the side when we start having fun..."

    "Go to hell!" Before he could finish, Qin Jiang roared furiously with blood-red eyes, that murderous figure... moved!

 Chapter 2: 2: Furious!

    With a muffled thud, the burly man''s massive body was sent flying straight out! Just as he tried to get up... he was once again stomped on the back by a foot!

    One stomp, two stomps, three stomps...

    Blood continuously spouted from his mouth as hey powerlessly on the ground!

    He wailed from his mouth, begging for mercy, desperately pleading...

    However, Qin Jiang showed no signs of stopping!

    Crack, crack!

    The burly man''s limbs were all crushed to pieces! The searing pain elicited pig-like shrieks from him...

    When Qin Jiang''s final stomp came down, the burly man flopped face-first to the ground, passing out...

    Dead silence!

    Suddenly, the scene fellpletely quiet.

    The thugs, watching Qin Jiang who looked like a god of killing radiating malice from his being, trembled uncontrobly! This guy was too ruthless!

    Just the sight of it sent chills down their spines...

    But those who recovered quickly from the shock immediately showed a fierce light in their eyes and, gripping their weapons, charged towards Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang struck out in anger, with brutal ferocity, sweeping across them like a whirlwind!

    Secondster, they were all lying on the ground, wailing in pain, with either broken arms or fractured legs, sunken chests, blood everywhere, it was gruesomely frightening!

    "Get out! Or die!" Following Qin Jiang''s furious shout, the group of burly men crawled away, dragging their severely injured bodies and fleeing the Qin family home in a most disgraceful manner...

    The house once again quieted down.

    "Jiang, is that really you?!"

    Wen Wenling''s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice trembling, "You''ve finallye back..."

    "Thump¡ª" Qin Jiang knelt bolt upright in front of Wen Wenling, his voice choked with emotion, "Mother, your son has been unfilial, letting you suffer!"

    Tears twinkled in Wen Wenling''s eyes as she shakily reached out to help him up.

    "As long as you''re back, as long as you''re back! Mother missed you... I was really scared that I wouldn''t see you return until the moment I died..."

    Qin Jiang looked at his mother in front of him¡ªaged, haggard, and teary-eyed¡ªwith a tumultuous heart.

    He was filled with hatred!

    He hated how foolish he had been in the past!

    He also hated the Luo family, especially Luo Shifei, for being so ruthless as to frame him for a crime, leading him to be imprisoned!

    Qin Jiang turned to look at his sister, then his heart trembled, "Sisi, your legs..."

    Sitting in a wheelchair, Qin Sisi red at Qin Jiang with resentment in her eyes, "Qin Jiang! Why did you even bothering back? Get lost! I don''t want to see you!"

    "What''s the use now that you''re back?"

    "Where were you when mother and I were being bullied?"

    "Where were you when I jumped from the building and broke both my legs!"

    "You were in prison, taking the fall for a woman who led our Qin family to ruin and destruction!"

    "Qin Jiang, you''re aplete bastard, you don''t deserve to be my brother!"

    "I hate you! I truly hate you!"

    Qin Sisi screamed hysterically, tears streaming from her eyes...

    "I..." Qin Jiang, stunned, looked at Qin Sisi in her wheelchair, her face streaked with tears, her words stabbing like a sharp knife into his heart!

    Anger surged in Qin Jiang''s heart, "Mother, what happened? Sisi''s legs... Was it done on purpose by someone?"

    Wen Wenling spoke with bitterness, "It was Luo Fei..."

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned cold.

    Luo Fei!

    This name, Qin Jiang was all too familiar with!

    The brother of Luo Shifei, a debauchee who was up to no good!

    He had encountered him a few times in the past!

    "My sister''s legs... it was because of him?"

    Wen Wenling nodded, "Yes!"

    "The area we''re living in is about to be a key development zone. Our old neighborhood has caught attention."

    "The Luo family has been coveting this piece ofnd for a long time..."

    "Under their threats, most people in our neighborhood havepromised... even though thepensation they offered was pitifully small!"

    "Currently in our neighborhood, only a few families, including ours, have refused to agree to the demolition."

    "Two months ago, the Luo family came to threaten us again. We didn''t want to move, and then... that beast Luo Fei, he actually tried to force himself on Sisi!"

    "In the end, Sisi jumped from the fourth floor to escape, but broke both legs..."

    As Wen Wenling said this, her face too was streaked with hot tears, her eyes filled with intense hatred!

    Qin Sisi''s eyes were lifeless as she coldly stared at Qin Jiang, the corners of her mouth lifting in a scornfulugh, "Qin Jiang, now I''m a cripple. Are you satisfied now?"

    "Sisi!" Qin Jiang''s face was riddled with guilt, and he felt an urge to howl to the sky to release his sorrow and fury!

    "Don''t call my name! I find it disgusting!"

    Qin Sisi stared at him with resentment.

    "Muge, for your sake, had her face shed over a hundred times, and her entire family was expelled from the Xu family to live a life of poverty, their livespletely ruined!"

    "And I, thanks to your dear brother-inw, have broken legs and am now a cripple!"

    "Our tragedy... it''s all because of you... We have been utterly ruined by you, Qin Jiang! How can you even face us?"

    "Now get out¡ª"

    "The Luo family, Luo Shifei, Luo Fei... you''re all dead!" Qin Jiang''s chest felt tight as he gritted his teeth and his eyes flickered with murderous intent.

    Qin Sisiughed coldly, "My dear brother, if you truly want to avenge me, then take action, don''t just spout words here!"

    "Oh, and I forgot to tell you, today is the eve of Luo Corporation going public, and it''s also the 80th birthday of that old undying Luo family head! Right now, the Luo family is celebrating with song and dance! As Luo Shifei''s ex-husband, you should go and give your felicitations!"

    "After all, the Luo family owes its sess today to your kind contribution..."

    "Luo Corporation going public?"

    "The 80th birthday?"

    Qin Jiang''s heart jolted.

    "Luo Fei, Luo Shifei! Since today is such a grand asion, then I... will settle both our new and old debts with you properly!"

    "Settle debts?"

    Qin Sisi sneered.

    "Who do you think you are? The Luo family is not what it used to be, if you go there, you''ll just be seeking your own death! Have you forgotten how you were taught a lesson back in the day!"

    "I... don''t need your help to seek revenge!"

    "However, today Muge was also invited by that bitch Luo Shifei, and those dogs of the Xu Family knew full well that Muge would be put in a difficult position, yet they still forced her to attend the banquet..."

    "You owe her so much, you won''t be able to repay it in this lifetime. Qin Jiang, if you just stand by and watch Muge get humiliated today, you''re not fit to be called a human!"

    Upon hearing this,

    Qin Jiang''s fists clenched suddenly. "Muge, is she going to the birthday celebration too?"

    Qin Sisi said mockingly, "Do you think that bitch Luo Shifei would let her off the hook?"

    Qin Jiang took a deep breath, and promised word by word, "Sisi, big brother promises you, I will make sure your legs are healed! And for all the pain you''ve suffered, I will make that beast Luo Fei... pay it back double! Also, I will make sure to bring Muge back safely!"

    As the murderous voice fell, he walked out without looking back!

    "Jiang, Jiang..." Wen Wenling hurriedly chased after him to stop him.

    Qin Sisi said coldly, "Mom, let him go! Muge has done so much for him, if he doesn''t show up today, what kind of man is he!"

    Having descended the stairs,

    Qin Jiang directly hailed a cab, filled with raging fury, he headed straight for the Luo Family''s residence...

    The Luo Family mansion was bustling with activity.

    All sorts of luxury cars were parked in front of the door! Maserati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Maybach... Even the least among them were Mercedes and BMW!

    The Family Head of the Luo Family, Luo Tianhe, sat at the head of the table, his face beaming with joy and overflowing with smiles.

    And Luo Shifei, she became the center of attention, surrounded by everyone like the stars holding the moon.

    In the face of such adoration, she merely smiled faintly, her expression serene, maintaining a distance from everyone like a proud swan.

    She sipped her red wine, her eyes brimming with unbridled ambition.

    Once thepany went public, she, Luo Shifei, would ascend to the ranks of Jiangcheng''s top socialites!

    And her fianc¨¦, Lin Jiaolong of the prestigious Lin Family in Jiangcheng! These fellows... were already unworthy of her attention...

    Her gaze then slowlynded on a corner of the venue.

    There, a figure in in white clothes, with a makeup-free face sat.

    She had a lovely figure.

    Even in simple attire, her presence was remarkable.

    Regrettably, her long hair flowed loosely, and her face was covered with a veil, so tightly wrapped and head lowered as if she feared people seeing her true face!

    The corners of Luo Shifei''s mouth showed a mocking smile as she walked straight towards her.

    "Oh, our Miss Xu, why are you sitting here all alone? You are one of Jiangcheng''s four great beauties after all!"

    She approached with an air of arrogance.

    And Xu Muge''s delicate body also trembled violently at that moment!

    Instantly, all eyes fell on Xu Muge, with pity, mockery, and regret...

    Xu Muge endured the difort in her heart and greeted her respectfully, "Luo... Miss Luo!"

    "p¡ª!" Luo Shifei pped her across the face, knocking her to the ground, "You are fit to say my name?"

    "The former goddess of Jiangcheng, now too afraid to show her face? Take off your veil and let everyone see your beauty!"

    As she spoke,

    The veil was brutally torn off!

    A face full of scars was revealed before everyone!

    "Don''t look, don''t look..."

    Xu Muge screamed, helplessly covering her hideous face!

    "Disgusting!"

    "This face will give me nightmares at the mere sight, truly an eyesore!"

    "It''s all because she was so full of herself back then, daring to reject that powerful young master... As a result, she infuriated him, and he had her face disfigured!"

    Seeing her trembling and frightened, Luo Shifei''s smile grew even more triumphant, "Just look at that nauseating face of yours, it''s really disgusting..."

    "Xu Muge, I heard that when Qin Jiang, that idiot, was imprisoned, you, this cheap woman, tried all means to bribe people... looking for evidence to exonerate your idiot fianc¨¦, right?"

    "Sadly, you didn''t manage to exonerate him, instead, you got your face ruined by Mr. Chu..."

    "How pitiable!"

    With each word she spoke, those high heels kicked Xu Muge''s body, fiercely venting her own anger!

    Luo Fei also walked over, his mouth emitting a mockingugh.

    "Sister! She''s now a freak, aren''t you being too harsh?"

    Immediately after!

    He ced his leather shoe in front of Xu Muge, close to her mouth.

    "Xu Muge, how about this, kneel down and lick my shoe clean, and I''ll let you leave!"

    Xu Muge curled up on the ground, desperately protecting her vital areas, her body trembling.

    "Lick it!! Can''t you lick that thing? Can''t even lick a foot, huh? Damn! All these years, only you and Qin Jiang''s dumbass sister are the two women who have shown any backbone!"

    "Heh... Sadly, that crippled girl is probably being gang-raped by now..."

    "I''ve heard you two are really good sisters! Seems like you want to be gang-raped too, right?"

    "Even though your face is disgusting! Your figure is still quite nice, those vagrants... should be able to ept it, right?"

    "Someone! Drag her down for me, present her to those vagrants!"

    Luo Fei shouted loudly.

    Those Luo Family thugs menacingly surrounded her!

    Xu Muge staggered to her feet and turned to run, but Luo Fei tripped her to the ground with one kick!

    Luo Fei''s face twisted, "Bitch, back in the day when I courted you, you dared to reject me! Now, you ugly monster only deserve to be yed with by these filthy things..."

    The thugs rudely grabbed Xu Muge''s legs and dragged her away!

    "No! Let me go... Please, let me go..."

    Xu Muge begged heart-wrenchingly, her hands desperately clutching at the floor, and the ground was marked with ring streaks of blood...

    Everyone watched this scene with wide eyes, yet no one dared to step forward to intervene!

    Just at that moment...

    "Ah! Ah!" Two shrill screams suddenly pierced the entire venue, followed by two figures crashing down near the entrance, flying in from outside!

    "Is someone causing trouble?"

    "Who is it, so bold!"

    The crowd stared at the Luo Family guards sprawled on the ground, utterly astonished, and then, their eyes unanimously focused on the entrance!

    A figure with an overwhelming murderous aura stepped in, one slow step at a time.

    His pace was slow, yet it had the irresistible force of a copsing mountain, oppressing everyone that they could barely breathe!

 Chapter 3: 3 Why do you seek death?

    The noise in the arena was instantly suppressed, and everyone''s astonished gazes fell upon Qin Jiang!

    "Who is this person?"

    "To actually cause trouble at the Luo Family patriarch''s birthday banquet, he''s seeking death!"

    "Today, he''ll probably be carried out horizontally!"

    "A clueless fool!"

    A group of people looked at Qin Jiang with faces full of scorn, their eyes carrying a hint of pity.

    After all, the Luo Family was now considered a second-tier family, with substantial family power and scores of capable men nurtured over the years! This guy, charging in alone, was purely seeking his own demise!

    Luo Shifei and her brother Luo Fei''s expressions instantly turned as dark as could be.

    "You scoundrel! Daring to cause a disturbance at the Luo Family, you''re tired of living, aren''t you?!"

    Luo Fei had a twisted face as he stepped out in his gleaming leather shoes, even adjusting the tie around his neck, his expression haughty and overbearing to the extreme.

    Luo Shifei also stepped forward, her delicate face tilted up slightly as she stared ahead coldly.

    However, her expression suddenly changed dramatically, "Qin Jiang? Is it you, you idiot?"

    This guy, he actually came out?

    Hearing Luo Shifei''sment, Luo Fei''s eyebrows lifted, and then he burst into loud, mockingughter, "Turns out it''s you, the idiot!"

    "You''re out? Seen your sister yet, tsk tsk... she hasn''t been yed into ruins already, has she?"

    Qin Jiang''s tone was cold to the extreme, "I''m afraid I''ll disappoint you, my sister is fine, but today, you''re likely in for a big problem!"

    Murder was aze in his eyes, "Also, where is Muge?!"

    Luo Fei sneered, "Damn, haven''t seen you for a few years, and while you''ve gained no new skills, you''ve certainly gotten a much bigger mouth!"

    "You''re looking for that monster, right?"

    "See her there? The woman lying on the ground like a dog, she was once Jiangcheng''s goddess who was so deeply affectionate to you!"

    "It''s just a pity that now she''s turned into a nauseating monster!"

    "An idiot and an ugly freak, two misfits perfectly matched!"

    Qin Jiang followed his gaze.

    There was Xu Muge''s disheveled figure and the ring bloodstains on the ground.

    Each aggravated his mind and heart!

    Seeing Qin Jiang look over, Xu Muge copsed on the spot, covering her face, "Don''t look, please, don''t look..."

    Her pleas rang in Qin Jiang''s ears, cutting him like knives!

    This Xu Muge, it was because of him that she ended up like this!

    Luo Fei yanked her up from the ground, sneering, "Xu Muge, look, this is the man you like! Let him see just how sickening and vomit-inducing you are now..."

    "Don''t worry."

    "After those hobos get intimate with you, I will make him watch the show properly!"

    Qin Jiang''s rage soared to the heavens and his body trembled slightly, "Let go of her!"

    "I won''t let go, what about it?" Luo Feiughed wildly, "Come on, bite me!"

    "You''re asking for death!"

    Qin Jiang stepped closer to Luo Fei.

    "You harmed my sister to the point of breaking her legs, and now you dare to treat Muge this way! Luo Fei, today I will make you pay back all your evil deeds... doubled!"

    Qin Jiang''s voice was chilly like a demon from hell!

    Finally.

    Luo Shifei, who carried herself with an air of superiority, could no longer contain her scoffing, "Qin Jiang, it''s been three years and your trash-talking has improved quite a bit!"

    "Too bad, you came to the wrong ce today!"

    "Do you think that after three years, you can stand against me? I''ve already told you, you and I are not from the same world!"

    "I am in the sky, a phoenix!"

    "And you, in the dirt, nothing but a pile of mud!"

    "Since you''vee here to cause trouble today, I''ll teach you a good lesson and show everyone that the Luo Family is not to be trifled with!"

    After speaking, she waved her hand, "Whoever cripples his legs will be rewarded with one hundred thousand!"

    At the fall of these words, the dozen or so thugs of the Luo Family''s eyes gleamed. They drew the iron clubs hidden behind their backs, howling as they charged forward!

    In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Qin Jiang, the clubs smashing down toward his head!

    "This guy is dead meat!"

    "What a hothead... Causing trouble for the Luo Family, he''s practically begging for death!"

    "Today, his legs... are done for!"

    The onlookers mocked, feeling Qin Jiang waspletely out of his league for seeking out the Luo Family, their eyes filled with disdain.

    Luo Shifei''s father, Luo Jiang, snorted coldly, "A death-seeking piece of trash! He had a stroke of luck getting out, couldn''t he have just lived a good life? Yet he dares to provoke my Luo Family!"

    "This idiot is asking for it!" His wife, Lin Xiaoxue, said with a venomous face, "Three years ago, to make him willingly take the me, we even knelt before him! Now, it''s time for him to pay it all back!"

    "Qin Jiang, dodge¡ª!" Seeing the burly men charging at Qin Jiang with menacing momentum, Xu Muge shouted in a panic, her voice urgent.

    She struggled frantically.

    Trying to break free to help Qin Jiang.

    Luo Fei grasped her tightly, his sneer malicious, "Cheap slut! Watch carefully how this trash gets his legs broken!"

    More than a dozen people pounced like fierce wolves and tigers!

    Just when everyone thought Qin Jiang was done for...

    Qin Jiang raised his fist!

    "Bang."

    One of the thugs had no time to react; his face already met with a punch!

    He was then kicked and sent flying.

    His iron club was also seized by Qin Yan!

    Right after that¡ª

    The iron club, whistling in Qin Jiang''s hands, smashed onto the bodies of those thugs like lightning, apanied by continuous screams...

    The thugsy scattered on the ground, either with bloody heads, broken arms, or shattered legs!

    Allpletely devoid of fighting power!

    The whole process took less than ten seconds!

    "What, what!"

    Those who were previously certain of Qin Jiang''s demise, ready to watch the show, all stared wide-eyed, disbelieving the scene before them!

    Luo Fei was dumbstruck on the spot.

    This waste, in just under ten seconds, had floored all the skilled fighters of his Luo Family?

    "Some skills," Luo Shifei said, her gaze fixed on the unfolding scene, "But some fists and feet skills are useless... still trash after all!"

    Qin Jiang kicked away a thug blocking his path, continuing to close in on Luo Fei, "Luo Fei, like I said, you''re not escaping today!"

    Fear showed on Luo Fei''s face, "You, don''te any closer! If you do, I''ll kill her!"

    He pressed his hand against Xu Muge''s neck, his face full of ruthlessness.

    Qin Jiang''s movements paused!

    His voice was icy as he spoke, "Now, let her go; today, I''ll let you die less horribly."

    "Haha¡ª"

    Luo Feiughed maniacally, "Seems like you damn care about this ugly freak! Kneel down for me! Crawl over here and lick my boots, cry and beg me to spare you two, crawl through my crotch... Perhaps, I might consider letting you off the hook!"

    "Otherwise, I''ll kill her today!"

    Qin Jiang''s gaze turned icy, and the next moment, he burst forth like an arrow, instantly closing the distance to Luo Fei!

    "Such terrifying speed!"

    The crowd gasped in astonishment, having seen only a blur; Qin Jiang had covered the ten-meter distance in an instant?

    What explosive power!

    Luo Fei was horrified, instinctively reaching to choke Xu Muge''s neck!

    But before he could act, his wrist was seized by a powerful hand, rendering him immobile with all his strength!

    There, Qin Jiang''s menacing figure stood before him, his voice cold as death, echoing in Luo Fei''s ears!

    "I gave you a chance to choose just now. Why did you insist on seeking death?"

 Chapter 4: 4: Chief Detective Chen Jiuheng!

    Confronted with Qin Jiang''s eyes, icy to the extreme, Luo Fei couldn''t help but tremble all over!

    Luo Shifei shouted angrily, striding forward with supreme arrogance, "Let go of my brother, or I will make your life worse than death!"

    "Get lost¡ª" Qin Jiang nced at her sideways, and upon seeing that proud and beautiful face, he didn''t hesitate at all before directly raising his hand and pping her!

    Luo Shifei was sent flying several meters away! Her entire face swelled up red, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her hair became disheveled and fell down, and even one of her crystal high heels came off!

    It was the ultimate disarray.

    Where was there even a trace of the goddess she once was?

    A tremor ran through everyone''s heart!

    This guy must be crazy...

    What status did Luo Shifei have? The famous and prosperous belle of Fengcheng!

    Furthermore, her fianc¨¦ was none other than Lin Jiaolong from the top-ranking Lin Family! To hit Luo Shifei in public was to p Lin Jiaolong''s face openly!

    The Lin Family was not only incredibly wealthy, but they also had both ck and white contacts, and they were ruthless with their actions. That young master was a hardened man. Anyone who offended him had met with very, very miserable fates¡­

    Luo Shifeiy on the ground, staring at Qin Jiang with venomous hatred!

    However, Qin Jiang no longer paid her any attention but instead cast his chilling gaze on Luo Fei, revealing a trace of bloodlust.

    Immediately after, he exerted a great force!

    "Crack!"

    Luo Fei''s arm broke, and he let out screams like a ughtered pig! The bones in his arm gruesomely pierced through the skin, causing all the spectators to feel a chill down their spine¡­

    "You caused my sister to lose both her legs, publicly humiliated my fianc¨¦e, an unforgivable sin! Today, I will collect some interest¡­ I''ll cripple your limbs!"

    Before the terrified Luo Fei could back away, Qin Jiang kicked him in the knee, breaking his kneecap in the opposite direction¡­

    Thud!

    Unable to support himself, Luo Fei cried out in pain and knelt before Qin Jiang! The once lively and crowded birthday party fell utterly silent at this moment.

    Shock, horror, and fear hung on the faces of the guests...

    Today, things were likely to escte.

    With matters getting to this point, for Qin Jiang to walk away unscathed¡­ was as hard as scaling the heavens!

    "Qin Jiang..." Xu Muge''s voice trembled, seeing Qin Jiang rage for her sake, breaking Luo Fei''s leg. She, too, showed a look of shock on her face.

    It felt satisfying, and oh so thrilling! But... the trouble was huge!

    Could they safely leave today?

    At that moment, Qin Jiang tightly grabbed her hand, "Muge, I''ll take you out of here."

    Elder Luo''s face was as dark as iron, and he was so angry he was nearly sick with heart disease.

    His grandson had been crippled in public!

    And at his eightieth birthday banquet, no less!

    If Qin Jiang didn''t pay a bloody price today, wouldn''t the Luo Family be aughingstock?

    Qin Jiang, holding Xu Muge''s hand, said indifferently, "Remember! This is just the interest! For everything the Luo Family did to me back then, I will surely pay it back to you all, doubled!"

    "Listen well, all of you!"

    He enunciated each word forcefully, "I, Qin Jiang, will turn everything you Luo Family owns now... into nothing!"

    Luo Shifei struggled to get up from the ground, her state pitiable, "Loser, don''t talk about making my Luo Family pay a price, whether you can even walk out of the Luo Family alive is still a question!"

    "My fianc¨¦ is already on his way, you''re finished! You''repletely done for today!"

    Indeed, at that moment, another tall and young figure entered the venue! The young man was dressed in a suit, emitting a distinguished aura with an inherent powerful presence as he walked.

    Next to him, followed a young man with a rebellious face.

    Moreover.

    There was also an old man in a long robe, thin in stature, yet with bulging temples and spirited eyes!

    His aura was formidable.

    "Mr. Lin has arrived!"

    "The one apanying him is Master Yue from the Lin Family!"

    "I''ve heard that Master Yue is quite powerful; he once fought thirty men alone with his bare hands and vanquished them all!"

    "What''s happened!?"

    Upon seeing the chaotic scene, Lin Jiaolong couldn''t help but speak out and ask.

    "Jiaolong¡ª"

    Seeing her fianc¨¦ arrive, Luo Shifei immediately became pitiful and, not caring about her image, threw herself into Lin Jiaolong''s embrace.

    "It''s this guy! Qin Jiang! He broke my brother''s leg and arm¡­ He''s causing trouble at our Luo Family''s banquet! He''s too arrogant, you must get justice for me!"

    Luo Shifei, crying tears like rain in Lin Jiaolong''s embrace, looked utterly distraught.

    Lin Jiaolong, distressed,forted her by patting her on the back, "Shifei, don''t worry! Anyone who dares to touch Lin Jiaolong''s woman, I will not let them off. I will make sure to get justice for you..."

    After speaking, his gloomy gaze fell upon Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "I suggest you not to meddle in this matter, this is a grudge between me and the Luo Family, don''t go looking for trouble!"

    Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

    Arrogant!

    Extremely arrogant!

    "Even telling Mr. Lin not to look for trouble, truly courting death!"

    "And, with Master Yue by Mr. Lin''s side, where does he get the confidence to be so arrogant!"

    Everyone mocked Qin Jiang, feeling he was courting death and was delusional with self-importance. Did he really think just because he had killed a few minor thugs, he could contend with these giants?

    With Yue Zhendong by Lin Jiaolong''s side today, he could make Qin Jiang die without a ce to bury his body!

    Lin Jiaolongughed angrily at these words, "Kid! Do you know who you''re talking to? Today, I''m going to break your dog legs and make you crawl out from under my crotch like a dog!"

    He waved his hand, and Yue Zhendong who was behind him stepped forward.

    "Master Yue, I''ll leave it to you!"

    Yue Zhendong said indifferently, "It''s a trivial matter, such a brat, I''ll handle him in five seconds!"

    He took a step forward and casually kicked, splitting a solid round wooden table into pieces with his kick.

    This terrifying strength left everyone tongue-tied!

    Immediately afterward, Yue Zhendong charged at Qin Jiang, and punched out, the wind from his fist howling.

    Despite his slender build, his punch carried the force of seven to eight hundred pounds, strong enough to send an ordinary person flying a meter or two!

    Qin Jiang, expressionless, casually punched out as well.

    Yue Zhendong sneered, "Courting death, daring to sh directly with me..."

    But the next moment!

    With a scream, his smile froze on his face... He staggered back three steps, his arm feeling as if it was about to break!

    He looked bewildered, "You¡ª"

    "You what? Go die," Qin Jiang kicked out, sending Yue Zhendong flying like a broken sack,nding on his back, spitting blood and passing out!

    The room fell silent.

    Yue Zhendong was a master, with no ordinary strength, yet he was defeated like this?

    Their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock, everyone held their breath, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

    Qin Jiang spoke deliberately, "Today, Luo Fei''s limbs are mine to take!"

    "Who else wants to stop me?"

    Lin Jiaolong''s face turned ashen, fists clenched, yet he didn''t dare step forward, and ultimately, his gaze fell on the young man beside him.

    The young man slowly lifted his eyelids and spoke ndly to Qin Jiang after a few seconds, "Do me a favor, apologize, and get out."

    Qin Jiang asked indifferently, "And if I don''t grant this favor?"

    The young man let out a coldugh, his tone chilling, "Do you know who I am? My dad is Chen Jiuheng, Jiangcheng''s Chief Detective! With just one word from me, there could be three to five hundred guns pointed at your head, do you think you could still fly?"

    Everyone''s gaze sharpened once more. This young man was the son of Chief Detective Chen? Unexpectedly, Lin Jiaolong was on such close terms with him!

    Though these powerful families had wealth and influence, they ultimately had limits. But behind Chen Jiuheng stood the government''s power, the whole of the Divine Land!

    Who could provoke him?

    "Chen Jiuheng?"

    Qin Jiang suddenlyughed, remembering how this Chief Detective had pleaded with him before to treat his illness. The father had sought him humbly, yet the son was quite imperious.

    "Even if he personally came, he wouldn''t dare say he''d point a gun at my head. Who do you think you are? I give him some respect, but I''m giving you a chance to get lost!"

    Qin Jiang''s arrogant remarks once again stirred up amotion in the room!

    Mad,pletely mad...

    This guy had truly lost his mind!

    So full of himself that he even dared to challenge Chief Detective Chen''s son!

    "Very well, then I want to see just how arrogant you really are!" Chen Xiaoughed disdainfully, "You just wait!"

    Just then, Elder Luo mmed his hand on the table and rose up, his voice cold, "Young Master Chen, don''t worry. The moment this young man started causing trouble, I had someone call the police."

    "Probably, Chief Detective Chen is already on his way here!"

    "This brat, he won''t be able to escape today."

    No sooner had he finished speaking...

    Dada Dada!!

    A series of uniform, rapid footsteps came thick and fast, causing a slight tremor on the floor as a group of uniformed men burst in!

    They were armed and exuded a fierce aura, setting up a formidable presence instantly. Everyone made way, fearing they might end up as coteral damage.

    Chen Jiuheng, stern-faced and with an imposing aura, strode into the room.

    "Who dares to injure people so brazenly here!?"

 Chapter 5: 5: Beginning the Counterattack!

    "Dad¡ª"

    Seeing Chief Detective Chen Jiuheng''s arrival, Chen Xiao immediately felt emboldened!

    "It''s this guy, it''s him! He had the gall to say that even if you came, you wouldn''t dare to be so arrogant in front of him! Hemitted assault in public, defying thew, and he even dared to disregard your authority! You must severely punish him!"

    Lin Jiaolong also came forward, "Uncle Chen, this man is extremely vicious, I hope Uncle Chen enforces thew impartially and does not let him get away with such outrageous behavior."

    Elder Luo was even more tearful, "Chief Detective Chen, this person caused trouble at my grand eightieth birthday celebration and made me so angry I got a heart condition. You absolutely cannot allow him to be so rampant!"

    "Look at my grandson, he''s been beaten beyond recognition... "

    Chen Jiuheng slightly nodded, anger rising in his heart, "Exactly who is it, who dares to be so rampant under my watch?"

    He pushed through the crowd and strode forward.

    Luo Shifei spitefully faced Qin Jiang, now, you''re done for, aren''t you?

    Qin Jiang sneered,pletely unafraid, "Chief Detective Chen, long time no see, you seem much more imposing than before."

    Hearing the sarcastic tone in the other''s words, Chen Jiuheng''s rage intensified, "You scoundrel! Still so arrogant at the brink of death, it seems I really need to teach you a lesson..."

    He reached for his weapon at his waist, loaded it with a click, and at the moment he emerged from the crowd, he aimed the gun at Qin Jiang!

    But the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, almost causing the gun in his hand to drop to the ground!

    This...

    How could this grim reaper be here?

    Chen Xiao followed up and yelled, "Dad, cripple his legs first, I want to watch him... kneel on the ground crying and begging for mercy!"

    However...

    The very next instant, in the eyes of all the disbelieving spectators... Chen Jiuheng suddenly turned his head and gave Chen Xiao a smack across his face!

    Chen Xiao stumbled back a few steps, falling to the ground, his mouth full of blood.

    "This..."

    They widened their eyes, unable to believe what was happening before them!

    What''s going on?

    Why did Chen Jiuheng hit his own son?

    However, what happened in the next instant was even more jaw-dropping!

    Chen Jiuheng put away his weapon, adopted a humble attitude, and stepped forward.

    Then, he bowed deeply at a ny-degree angle!

    "Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"

    Cold sweat was pouring from his brow!

    Others might not know of Qin Jiang''s capabilities, but how could he not?

    Originally, he had sought Qin Jiang''s help through an introduction from the prison warden to save his life.

    And he had inferred from hints dropped by the warden that Qin Jiang''s master had a terrifying background, so terrifying that even the warden dared not disclose more!

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "I just got out of prison today, and I''vee to settle ounts with the Luo family¡ªa private matter! Chief Detective, do you n to interfere with this?"

    "Since it''s Mr. Qin''s private affair, then I will not intrude!" Chen Jiuheng wiped away his sweat and, with a wave of his big hand, prepared to withdraw his team and leave.

    "Dad! What are you doing? What''s there to be afraid of with some trash just out of prison! He dared to provoke us, we must finish him off!"

    Chen Xiao violently shouted.

    "You scoundrel!"

    Chen Jiuheng''s body shook, and he kicked Chen Xiao''s knee, forcing him to kneel down!

    "Apologize to Mr. Qin right now! Or else... I''ll shoot you, my rebellious son!"

    Chen Xiao, seeing his own father actually pulling out a gun, trembled all over with fear, knowing he was serious, and hurriedly kowtowed in apology, "I''m sorry!"

    Qin Jiang waved his hand, "Forget it."

    Chen Jiuheng, as if granted a reprieve, quickly left.

    This scene reversed so quickly that all the guests present widened their eyes in shock.

    Whether it was the Luo family or Lin Jiaolong, their faces were as dark as if they were about to drip water, even Chen Jiuheng had withdrawn his team!

    Who else at the scene could suppress Qin Jiang?

    What shocked and intrigued them even more, why would Chen Jiuheng be afraid of this waste?

    Qin Jiang stepped toward Luo Fei.

    Under the shocked gazes of countless people, Luo Fei let out a piercing scream!

    All four limbs were broken!!

    Qin Jiang just like that, emotionlessly crippled him, his cold expression sending a chill down the spine of everyone present!

    All the Luo family members clenched their fists tightly, their entire bodies trembling!

    The humiliation, it was an utter and abject disgrace!

    Qin Jiang swept a detached nce at Luo Shifei and the others, "Remember, this is just the interest! Within ten days, I will make sure the Luo Corporation goespletely bankrupt!"

    "Delusional!" Luo Shifei red at Qin Jiang with venomous eyes, "Qin Jiang, let''s see you be outrageous for now, sooner orter... I will make you pay back double!"

    "I, will wait and see!"

    With that indifferent voice, Qin Jiang left with Xu Muge.

    Just outside the Luo family''s gate, Xu Muge instantly broke free from Qin Jiang''s hold!

    She lowered her head, her long hair falling down, covering the scars on her face, her eyes filled withplex emotions, love, and resentment...

    "Qin Jiang, this is where you stop!"

    Qin Jiang guiltily looked at Xu Muge, "These three years, you, you''ve suffered."

    Xu Muge''s whole body shook, tears streaming down her face, her emotions extremely agitated, "Yes! These three years, how much hardship I''ve endured, how many cold stares I''ve received, how many times have I been pointed at behind my back?"

    "I, not only suffered myself but also dragged down the Xu family! Dragging down my family! Making them live in deep waters and fiery misery!"

    "All of this, because of you... Qin Jiang!"

    Her lips tightly pressed together, "Qin Jiang, my debt to you, I have repaid over these three years... from now on, we are no longer connected at all!!"

    With that, she turned and left.

    "Muge..."

    Qin Jiang hurriedly chased after her, and Xu Muge abruptly turned around, screaming hysterically, "Don''t follow me! I never want to see you again! Get lost¡ª!"

    Tears filled her eyes as she said each word deliberately, "Do you know how I''ve lived these past three years?"

    "I wake up from nightmares every single day!"

    "Every time I look in the mirror and see my own hideous face, I want to die! I used to be a girl who loved beauty andughter!"

    "I caused my parents to lose their home, forced a family of four to huddle in a rundown house, barely clothed and fed, enduring endless humiliation!"

    "Qin Jiang, I loved you, but I hate you even more!"

    After speaking, she broke down in tears and quickly disappeared from Qin Jiang''s sight.

    It felt as though Qin Jiang''s heart had been pierced, and the pain was almost unbearable.

    "Muge, I will make you that girl who loved beauty andughter again!"

    He knew he owed this girl more than he could ever repay in a lifetime...

    Qin Jiang gathered his thoughts.

    He nned to wait until Xu Muge''s emotions had somewhat stabilized before going to apologize to her parents and to tell her that he could cure her face!

    He hailed a cab and hurried home.

    Seeing Qin Jiang return safely, Wen Wenling breathed a sigh of relief.

    And Qin Sisi, she just gave him a cold nce but felt somewhat relieved deep down.

    Qin Jiang crouched down in front of Qin Sisi and said softly, "Sisi, Luo Fei has already been crippled in all four limbs. Brother has avenged you! Tomorrow, I will immediately find a way to heal your legs!"

    Qin Sisi sneered, "Save your crocodile tears, I don''t need your false sympathy. The doctors at the hospital couldn''t heal my legs, what can you do?"

    "What are you bragging about?"

    Qin Jiang smiled bitterly, "When have I ever lied to you?"

    He took out acupuncture needles, "If you don''t believe it, brother will try it on you right now."

    Qin Sisi was stunned, then scoffed, "Fine, I want to see what skills you''ve picked up after spending years in there!"

    Qin Jiang didn''t waste any more words and proceeded to roll up her pants to her knees, starting the needle treatment.

    Soon, Qin Sisi could feel a warm flow in her legs, nourishing her limbs.

    And her previously numb legs began to tingle with a gradually intensifying pain... As soon as Qin Jiang ced thest needle, secondster, her left leg reflexively twitched!

    "This..."

    Qin Sisi was shocked beyond belief.

    Could it really be effective?

    Qin Jiang wiped his sweat and said, "Brother will continue the acupuncture for a few days, it will heal. Tomorrow I also need to go to the pharmacy to get medicine, with acupuncturebined with medication, your legs will recover quickly."

    Qin Sisi could hardly believe it andughed in anger.

    "Hmph! It seems you really did learn something in prison."

    "My legs, even if you can heal them, what about Muge''s face? Over a hundred scars! It breaks my heart to see them..."

    Qin Jiang firmly stated, "I will heal Muge! I made a grave mistake back then, hurting you both! Now, I will not let you suffer any more grievances!"

    Qin Sisi''s lips quivered, and in the end, she said nothing, pushing her wheelchair into the room and closing the door behind her!

    Wen Wenling sighed, "Jiang, your sister has suffered so much with her legs... As her brother, you need to be more understanding."

    Hope shone in her eyes, "Can you really heal Sisi''s legs? And Muge..."

    "Uh-huh." Qin Jiang nodded, "Mom, don''t worry."

    Although Wen Wenling was still somewhat skeptical, she nodded.

    Then Qin Jiang returned to his room and dialed Shen Longting, "Tomorrow is Luo Family Company''s listing day, and I will make sure its stock price... plummets!"

    "Also, release a statement that Longting Group will immediately terminate all coborations with Luo Corporation, and otherpanies that work with Luo Corporation will be treated the same by Longting Group!"

    With Longting Group''s massive size, dealing with the small Luo Family was a piece of cake. With a singlemand from Shen Longting, a surge of capital into the stock market would be enough topletely copse Luo Corporation!

    This time, he was going to strike hard and make the Luo Family unable to recover...

    After hanging up the phone, Qin Jiang took out a yellowed envelope.

    It was a letter secretly given to him by the Zhao Couple a few days before their mysterious death, entrusting him to hand it personally to their daughter¡ªthe current head of Zhao Corporation, Zhao Yuefei.

    Moreover, on their deathbed, the Zhao Couple also begged him to look after their lonely daughter on the outside if he ever got the chance.

    "This is theirst request. When I have time, I should pay another visit to Zhao Corporation."

    His eyes flickered, "Tomorrow, I should also get the medicine for Muge and Sisi."

    The next day.

    Luo Corporation was promptly listed and the stock price shot up five points in an instant, a fierce upward trend. Luo family members were overjoyed, their faces flushed with excitement, and thepany erupted in cheers...

    Especially Luo Shifei, who sat in the main chair of the office, holding a ss of red wine, savoring her moment of glory.

    "Qin Jiang, you loser, you dare to im you''ll bankrupt Luo Corporation within ten days? In ten days, Luo Shifei wille to you with a pile of money and drown you in it!"

    "Swelling your worthless face!"

    Thinking of Qin Jiang causing a scene at the Luo Family''s ce yesterday, her heart burned with rage!

    Did this guy think he was something special just because he knew a bit about fighting?

    In the end, wasn''t he just a nobody?

    But just as she was brimming with pride, the stock price of Luo Corporation on the disy suddenly fell by one point...

    "Huh?!"

    Her eyes narrowed in surprise, what was going on?

    Normally, a new listing should soar¡ªthat was the iron rule!

    How could it drop?

    "Well, a little fluctuation is normal..."

    As soon as she finished speaking, the stock price on the disy plummeted by another two points...

    Herplexion changed dramatically!

 Chapter 6: 6 Give Me a Chance!

    Luo Shifei''s pretty facepletely fell, "Who exactly is sabotaging us from behind?"

    She was outraged!

    And who else possessed such strength to make the Luo family suffer a setback?

    Meanwhile, in Jiangcheng, at Hundred Herbs Hall, Qin Jiang got out of the taxi. Shen Longting said that the medicinal herbs here were the best in Jiangcheng, so he had rushed over.

    Qin Jiang walked in.

    Inside the medical hall sat an old man, with white hair and beard, looking very spirited and having an air of immortal-like grace.

    This elder was none other than Li Jiushu, the current number one divine doctor of Jiangcheng.

    Seeing Qin Jiange in, he amiably asked, "Young friend, are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?"

    "To get medicine." Qin Jiang took out the prescription he had prepared.

    Li Jiushu, took a look at the prescription and his eyes revealed a look of astonishment, "Young friend, the one who prescribed this medicine is no ordinary person!"

    The more he looked, the more astounded he became. The fusion of medical principles in it even made him palpitate; the person who had prescribed this medicine was definitely a master.

    "Young brother, where did you get these two prescriptions?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I drafted them up myself."

    Drafted them up himself?

    Hearing this, Li Jiushu naturally didn''t believe him, shook his head, and assumed that Qin Jiang didn''t wish to tell him, so he didn''t pry further.

    "Xiaoling,e out and help fetch the medicine." Li Jiushu called out, and a young girl in her early twenties with a beautiful face and agile grace came out from the back.

    "Take this young brother''s prescription and prepare the medicine ording to the instructions," Li Jiushu instructed.

    She saw that the prescription did not have a doctor''s approval and cast Qin Jiang a nce, reprimanding, "You prescribed this medicine yourself? That''s quite bold. What if it kills someone?"

    "Ahem¡ª"

    Li Jiushu coughed twice, saying awkwardly, "Xiaoling, I''ve looked over it, and there''s no issue with the prescription. Moreover, its profundity is even beyond my own! It''s okay to prepare it."

    Hearing such high praise from her grandfather, Li Xiaoling''s mind trembled! Could it be true, that this young man possessed such great skill?

    She cast Qin Jiang a doubtful nce and turned to enter the pharmacy.

    Li Jiushu wanted to continue talking to Qin Jiang, but at that moment, another young girl rushed into the medical hall, supporting a middle-aged man in a hurry.

    "Grandfather Li, my dad''s old illness has red up again, please take a look at him quickly!"

    Upon hearing this, Li Jiushu''s eyes flickered with urgency as he hurriedly stepped out from behind the counter, "Oh, Mr. Zhang... Despite being busy with work, you can''t push your body to its limits!"

    The middle-aged man was gasping for breath, clutching his chest, with a pained expression on his face.

    He sighed deeply.

    He quickly performed acupuncture on the middle-aged man.

    However, this time not only did the middle-aged man not exhibit the slightest symptom of relief, but his expression became even more pained, and his whole body started to tremble uncontrobly!

    Just then, Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Your acupuncture is ineffective on him, and if you dy further, he will die on the spot!"

    Li Jiushu was taken aback.

    Zhang Shuqing''s pretty face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

    How dare he curse her father to death?

    Seeing Qin Jiang act like a harbinger of doom, she wished she could go up to him right now and p him twice!

    Qin Jiang, with an expressionless face, said, "If you trust me, let me have a look."

    By rights, he shouldn''t have meddled in others'' affairs, but the Crazy Old Man had also told him, those who practiced medicine ought to havepassion in their hearts!

    It was not his style to stand by indifferently in the face of death.

    Zhang Shuqing''s pretty face darkened further, "You? Are you qualified?"

    Even Li Jiushu, a veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with decades of experience, couldn''t cure her father''s disease, let alone Qin Jiang, a young upstart!

    Li Jiushu said solemnly, "Shuqing, Mr. Zhang''s condition has suddenly worsened severely this time, and I''m at my wits'' end..."

    "Moreover, looking at Mr. Zhang''s condition, I don''t know if he can hold on until we get to a hospital! Perhaps, we can let this young man have a try!"

    No sooner had he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Shuqing to say anything, Qin Jiang had already stepped forward, a silver needle appearing in his hand, which he thrust straight into the chest of the middle-aged man!

    As the needle fell...

    The middle-aged man''s face showed an even deeper shade of pain.

    Then, without any expression, Qin Jiang inserted three more silver needles sessively into the man''s central thoracic, heavenly spirit, and Phoenix pool acupuncture points.

    Immediately the middle-aged man''s skin took on a reddish hue, appearing to be in even greater difort!

    "You¡ª"

    Zhang Shuqing was shocked and wanted to stop Qin Jiang but was held back!

    "Grandfather Li, you..."

    Li Jiushu said, "The acupuncture he just executed is the lost art of Creation Thirteen Needles!"

    "ording to medical records, this acupuncture technique is extremely profound. The technique is domineering, opening and closing boldly; no one without certain skills would dare to use it!"

    "This young friend''s medical skill is far above mine!"

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Jiang''s actions were like lightning. He quickly inserted all thirteen silver needles into the middle-aged man''s acupuncture points throughout his body, and suddenly all thirteen needles began to vibrate in unison!

    "Grand Cirction?!"

    Witnessing this scene, Li Jiushu was dumbfounded and excited beyond words, as if he were witnessing a miracle!

    "In my lifetime, I never thought I would see someone who has reached such a level of medical prowess!"

    "This, this..."

    Li Jiushu''s eyes brimmed with tears, wishing he could prostrate himself in worship that very moment!

    "What is the Grand Cirction?" Zhang Shuqing asked, confusion written all over her face.

    Li Jiushu was incredibly excited, "When the skill level of Traditional Chinese Medicine reaches a certain threshold, it can resonate with the forces of heaven and earth! The acupuncture technique used by this young man has achieved an extraordinary state, invoking the rhythm of the cosmos!"

    "In the terminology of our Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is called the Grand Cirction."

    Zhang Shuqing waspletely befuddled by this.

    Was this young man really that remarkable?

    Suddenly!

    Zhang Haosheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood, startling everyone!

    Zhang Shuqing panicked, "What have you done to my dad! Get away from him!"

    She angrily pushed Qin Jiang away!

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "I am saving him, now, he is out of life-threatening danger."

    "Nonsense!" Zhang Shuqing eximed with wide eyes, "If anything happens to my dad, I will never..."

    "Shuqing..."

    Suddenly, Zhang Haosheng, who had nearly passed out, sharply chided, "Don''t be disrespectful!"

    "After spitting out that mouthful of blood that was stuck in my chest, I feel much better!"

    Secondster, hisplexion improved, and he struggled to stand up, bowing slightly to Qin Jiang, "Thank you, young friend, for saving my life!"

    "No need for such formalities," Qin Jiang said indifferently with a wave of his hand.

    Zhang Shuqing was full of shame and wanted to apologize to Qin Jiang but couldn''t bring herself to say it!

    Meanwhile, Li Xiaoling returned with two bags of medicine in her hand, looking at the situation in front of her with some confusion, "What happened?"

    Qin Jiang took the medicine over, paid for it, and then prepared to leave.

    "Wait a moment!"

    Zhang Haosheng suddenly called out to Qin Jiang, "Could you leave your name? I am..."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Treating patients is a doctor''s duty. That you encountered me means your life was not meant to end. I''m not interested in knowing who you are!"

    "I''m in a hurry, farewell."

    Seeing Qin Jiang leave without turning back, Zhang Haosheng was stunned for a moment before bursting intoughter, respect flickering in his eyes.

    "This is indeed a great master hiding in in sight!"

    Zhang Shuqing was also stunned and shook her head. If this guy knew who her father was, he would surely regret it for life!

    How many people wanted to curry favor with her father but couldn''t?

    And yet...

    This guy had actually said he wasn''t interested in who her father was!

    Li Jiushu also said with a wry smile, "Mayor Zhang, you were really fortunate just now!"

    "However, it''s a pity that the young man left..."

    "Because, he might be the only one in Jiangcheng who couldpletely cure you!"

    "What?!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Haosheng was stunned, his breathing became rapid, "Do you mean to say that he can treat my chronic condition, Mr. Li?"

    "Definitely!" Li Jiushu said with conviction on his face.

    "Then I cannot miss this opportunity!" Zhang Haosheng murmured, looking in the direction Qin Jiang had left.

    After Qin Jiang got the medicine, he went straight to the ce where Xu Muge was now staying!

    After crossing decrepit streets littered with garbage, he arrived at an old house. Looking at the simple conditions in front of him, he couldn''t help but sigh.

    Back when Xu Muge was with the Xu Family, she lived the life of a pampered youngdy... Now, she was living in a ce as ramshackle and dire as a slum!!

    And all this... was his doing!

    Suppressing the sour feeling in his heart, he stood motionless for half a minute before finally knocking on the door.

    Subsequently, a middle-aged man tremblingly opened the door a crack.

    "Big brother, can you give us a little more time, please? We really have no money left..."

    "Uncle Xu!" Qin Jiang called out guiltily, "It''s me."

    As he spoke, Xu Jinhong''s eyes widened. Recognizing Qin Jiang, rage instantly red in his eyes!

    "Qin Jiang, you beast, you dare toe here?!"

    He flung the door open, and with fiery fists of anger, he smashed them into Qin Jiang''s face!

    Qin Jiang''s face throbbed with pain, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he did not evade.

    "If hitting me can make you feel better, then do it!" Qin Jiang said resolutely. "I havee back to atone for my sins!"

    Xu Jinhong''s anger surged even more, "Atone for your sins? With what?!

    "My daughter''s face was ruined because of you!"

    "We were kicked out of the Xu family because of you, reduced to despised strays! You have destroyed uspletely! Qin Jiang, what do you have to atone with?"

    "Uncle Xu, I swear on my life," Qin Jiang took a deep breath, his tone firm, "I can restore Muge''s appearance to how it was before!"

    "I can restore the luxurious life you had!"

    "If you say the word, I can even put you at the pinnacle of Fengcheng! In the spotlight, respected by all, with no one daring to insult you again!"

    "Please give me a chance!"

    Xu Jinlong was about to explode in anger when a woman''s voice came from inside, "Let him in."

 Chapter 7: 7, Regeneration Ointment! The Bully Comes Knocking!

    Xu Muge sat on the sofa in the room, her face covered with a veil, her eyesplexly fixated on Qin Jiang, a mix of love and hate intertwined.

    "I heard that yesterday you used acupuncture, and Sisi''s leg regained a trace of sensation?"

    "Yes," Qin Jiang nodded.

    Xu Muge hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke, "Do you really have the confidence to cure my face?"

    "I do," Qin Jiang confidently said, "And it''s a hundred percent confidence."

    Xu Mulin was furious, standing up and scolding, "You really dare to boast! How long do you want to harm us? Get out now! If it weren''t for past affections, I would chop you up right now!"

    Xu Muge''s mother, Liu Ya, trembled with anger, gritting her teeth, "Muge, what''s there to talk about with such a scumbag? Don''t forget how much he has harmed us! Make him leave at once¡ª"

    She directly picked up a broom, ready to drive Qin Jiang out.

    However, Xu Muge suddenly burst into tears, her eyes filled with tears, "Mom, let me try, even if... there''s just a sliver of hope!"

    "I... I don''t want to live with this ugly face anymore!"

    Her words softened the Xu Family''s hearts at once.

    Xu Muge slowly took off her veil.

    She looked coldly at Qin Jiang and said solemnly, "Qin Jiang, take a good look at my face! Over a hundred cuts, do you know how painful it is?"

    "If you deceive me this time, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

    "Now, I''m giving you a chance to make amends. I hope you won''t disappoint me again, otherwise, don''t ever appear in front of me again."

    This time, she let Qin Jiang treat her, one for that faint glimmer of hope, the other, to force herself topletely give up on Qin Jiang!

    After all, so many doctors had seen her face, and not one could cure it.

    Qin Jiang looked at her face, marred with scars, and her expression of utter sorrow, his heart felt as if it was pierced by a thousand swords!

    He looked firmly at Xu Muge, "Rest assured, this time, I definitely won''t disappoint you."

    "I''ll go prepare the medicine." After Qin Jiang got the permission, he didn''t waste words and went straight to the kitchen to prepare the medicine, which took several hours.

    Until all the herbs had turned into a thick, paste-like ointment.

    It exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.

    This was the Regeneration Ointment.

    Though it couldn''t revive the dead or regenerate bones.

    But, it could make old skin shed, and new skin grow!

    Qin Jiang brought out the ointment, "After it cools down a bit, I will apply it to you, then, after securing it with gauze for three days, you can shed the skin and grow new, tender skin."

    Hearing Qin Jiang''s words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Xu Muge''s eyes.

    "Really?"

    Qin Jiang nodded lightly, "There was a patient with 60% burns all over the body who used this ointment. The skin that grew back was like that of a newborn."

    "So, you don''t need to worry."

    Liu Ya scoffed, "You boast quite impressively, but who knows what''s true and what''s not!"

    She knew that although her daughter harbored some resentment towards Qin Jiang, she still had feelings for him. If Qin Jiang''s true colors were revealed this time, Xu Muge would be utterly disappointed in him!

    If Qin Jiang''s medicine proved ineffective this time, then she would be heartbroken by Qin Jiang for good.

    Although she very much wanted Xu Muge to recover, was it possible?

    So many famous doctors had been helpless, how could Qin Jiang possibly solve it?

    Xu Jinhong snorted coldly, "If you really have that ability, wouldn''t you be a miracle healer?"

    He absolutely didn''t believe that Qin Jiang could make his daughter recover! But, as a father who was heartbroken for his daughter, he could only let Xu Muge give it a try.

    Qin Jiang did not retort.

    Because, he truly was a miracle healer.

    About ten minutester, Qin Jiang felt the ointment with his hand, and feeling that the temperature was about right, he began to carefully and evenly apply it to Xu Muge''s face.

    Xu Muge''s face was quickly covered with a thickyer of shiny ck ointment.

    Then, Qin Jiang wrapped her face with bandages.

    "My face feels a bit painful..." Xu Muge frowned, her face feeling fiery hot.

    "That''s normal."

    "The ointment is stimting your skin, just bear with it. In three days, you will be reborn."

    "Trust me!"

    Seeing Qin Jiang''s determined gaze, Xu Muge bit her red lips and nodded heavily. Anyway, her current appearance couldn''t get any worse!

    What harm was there in trying?

    Her heart was filled with unease...

    After finishing all this, Qin Jiang finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Muge, in three days, you will see a brand new you!"

    Xu Muge also clenched her fists, feeling both expectant and nervous.

    Liu Ya impatiently issued an order to leave, "Alright, our business is finished, you, can scram!"

    Seeing that they didn''t wee him, Qin Jiang didn''t exin much; the results in three days would prove everything!

    He stood up, ready to say goodbye and leave.

    But just at that moment, a rush of footsteps could be heard at the door.

    Immediately after, the door was violently banged on!

    "Xu Jinhong, get the hell out here! Come out immediately!"

    Bang bang bang!!!

    The already somewhat dpidated iron door seemed as if it was about to fall off its hinges, and the faces of the Xu Family whitened in an instant!

    "Fine! If you don''te out, then we''ll just barge in!"

    Having said that.

    The iron door was brutally kicked open.

    A few burly men carrying weapons walked in from outside, fixing their threatening gaze on the Xu Jinhong family.

    The man leading them flicked away a cigarette butt from his mouth, revealing a cold smirk, "Xu Jinhong, when are you nning to pay back the money you owe Brother Dao?"

    Xu Jinhong''s face turned pale as he hurriedly stepped forward, pleading, "Big brother... this! Can you give us a few more days?"

    "Also, this... we''ve already paid off the principal early on, and the interest is way too high. It''s several times more than the principal, we simply can''t afford it!"

    "Give your father an extension!"

    The burly man raised his hand and pped him across the face!

    Xu Jinhong staggered back a few steps, his cheek instantly swelling up.

    "Brother Dao has spoken; if you don''t pay up, we''ll sell your wife and daughter to the brothel!"

    The man sneered as he closed in.

    "Your wife, Xu Niang, is still a looker, and some customers really like that kind!"

    "And your daughter, although she''s an eyesore, once you cover her face, that body is top-notch... hahaha! I''m sure lots of customers will like her!"

    "Have them work as prostitutes for a year or two, and that should be enough to repay the debt!"

    "Take them all away!"

    The man gave a wave of his hand, and the other henchmen immediately moved forward, looking fierce.

    "You beasts, get the hell out!" Xu Mulin roared, picking up a fruit knife from the table and staring at them coldly.

    "I won''t leave; I''ll fight you all¡ª!"

    The leading man sneered, stepping closer, "You little brat, trying to scare your dad! Today I''ll cripple you first, to teach you all a lesson!"

    With that, his eyes shed dangerously, he quickened his pace, and moved towards Xu Mulin.

    Although Xu Mulin was trembling all over, thinking about how these thugs had bullied his family these past few days filled him with rage, and he lunged at the burly man with the fruit knife!

    The burly man sneered contemptuously, grabbed Xu Mulin''s hand holding the knife, and twisted it!

    The fruit knife ttered to the ground, and Xu Mulin was kicked and sent flying.

    "Dammit! You little runt has some guts, but if I don''t break both your legs today, you''ll really think us debt collectors are just a bunch of sick cats?"

    He was about to continue beating Xu Mulin, but Qin Jiang swiftly moved like a blur, appearing in front of him. His palm rose, and then... suddenly swung out!

 Chapter 8: 8 Brother Dao

    ```

    Smack!

    The burly man was sent flying, several teeth knocked out, his cheek swelled up, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle.

    "Fuck!" He flew into a rage instantly, scrambling to his feet, intent on attacking Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang''s expression remained nk as he kicked him in the abdomen, and this time, the man clutched his belly, sweating profusely, no longer able to stand up!

    Seeing this, the otherckeys charged at Qin Jiang with roars, surrounding him, their knives and clubs swinging in!

    But how could they possibly be a match for Qin Jiang? He stood his ground without moving, and within seven or eight seconds, all those burly men wereid out on the ground, howling in pain!

    Qin Jiang grabbed the leader''s cor and pped his face hard again, causing his face to split open and his head to buzz!

    "A bunch of punks strutting around here, you''ve got some nerve! What''s going on? Speak!"

    Chilled by the re in his eyes, the man swallowed hard, "They... they owe us money! Paying debts is only natural!"

    "Big brother... in our line of work, we have to be reasonable, right?"

    Xu Muge chimed in, "Qin Jiang, don''t listen to their nonsense! They''re nothing but animals, setting us up on purpose!"

    "We borrowed two hundred thousand from them to open Mulin''s store, agreeing to pay it back within three months, with thirty thousand in interest."

    "When we had the repayment ready, we couldn''t reach them at all, and after three months, they came to us saying we broke the contract!"

    "Not only did they want double the interest, but it was alsopounded interest, a usurious loan!"

    "They''ve beening to our door to intimidate us almost every day for months..."

    Having heard this, Qin Jiang understood what was happening.

    A cold light flickered in his eyes.

    Seeing him angry, the burly man quickly said, "Kid, I''d advise you to mind your own business, the money they owe is to Brother Dao!"

    "Brother Dao is not only powerful, but he also has hundreds of fierce men under him!"

    "You dare to oppose Brother Dao, you''re simply asking for death!"

    "Smack¡ª" Qin Jiang delivered another p to his face, "Enough talk, lead me to see this so-called Brother Dao!"

    Xu Mulin swallowed hard, "Are you crazy? If you break into Brother Dao''s territory, you can only be carried out, you''re looking for death going to him!"

    Qin Jiang turned around and said, "Don''t worry, I will get justice for you."

    Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Qin Jiang had already taken the man and walked out.

    The group of burly men were no longer arrogant now, only meekly leading the way for Qin Jiang!

    They themselves couldn''t handle Qin Jiang!

    But once they got to Brother Dao''s territory, wouldn''t they just get rid of him in minutes? After all, Brother Dao was one of Sir Hu''s most capable henchmen!

    In Jiangcheng''s underworld, it was divided among Dragon, Sir Hu, and Bully¡ªthe three powers. And their boss, Liu Hu, was one of the Two Tigers.

    Once in the car, several burly men saw Qin Jiang''s indifferent face and couldn''t help but sneer, "Kid! It''s not toote to regret it now, but by the time you do, it will be toote!"

    Qin Jiang sneered disdainfully.

    Two years ago, there was also a guy, one of the so-called "Six Overlords of Jiangcheng," who imed to be one of the Twin Tigers and challenged him in prison, but ended up being beaten up and dunked into a toilet by him...

    Eventually, that guy ended up washing Qin Jiang''s feet for half a year in prison.

    It wasn''t until he was released that he was finally free.

    If even these so-called bosses were so worthless, why would Qin Jiang take a few thugs seriously?

    Twenty minutester.

    The car arrived outside a gambling den.

    The burly men found their courage again, and after getting out of the car, they taunted Qin Jiang, "If you''re brave enough,e on in!"

    Qin Jiang kicked one of them in the buttocks, sending him sprawling, and then strode into the gambling den.

    "Bastard!"

    The men were furious, this guy was truly not afraid of death, so brazen on their turf!

    He was utterly ignorant of the danger!

    Their brothers here, each armed with a knife, could chop Qin Jiang into pieces!

    Once Qin Jiang had entered the gambling house, they waved their hands, "Close the door, get ready to beat the dog! Tell Brother Dao someone''s making trouble!"

    Bang¡ª

    The doors to the gambling den were mmed shut.

    Those men immediately whistled, and upon hearing the signal, many inside the gambling den lifted their heads, eyes gleaming with ferocity.

    ```

    "Is someone causing trouble?"

    "Heh, looking for death!"

    "Brothers, grab your weapons!"

    In an instant, the henchmen within the gambling den all picked up their weapons!

    The man whose cheeks were swollen from Qin Jiang''s beating pointed at him and said, "It''s this guy, brothers, take him down!"

    In a sh, dozens of men came surging in from all directions with a menacing air, their eyes cold and fixed on Qin Jiang.

    The other people in the gambling den, seeing this, all showed fear and hastily made room, lest they get caught in the crossfire.

    "Who is it, so bold and unafraid? Causing trouble here!"

    "Got tired of living, huh?"

    "He''s surely dead... Thest guy who owed gambling debts here and didn''t pay up got his limbs broken before being thrown out..."

    "Brother Dao is a ruthless character!"

    Their gazes all fell upon Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang''s face showed no expression as he nonchntly sat down on a chair, the image of bold defiance, and said coolly, "Today I''m here to find Brother Dao. You small fries shouldn''te offering your heads on a tter."

    Hearing his arrogant words, those thugs wielding weapons all burst into loudughter.

    "Kid, still tough-mouthed at death''s door? Do you think you''re even worthy to meet our Brother Dao? We can bury you right here!"

    "After we''re done with you, we''ll present you to Brother Dao to deal with!"

    Having said that, they charged at him.

    Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes and grabbed the man who was at the forefront, hoisting him up as if he was a stick, and swung him around!

    "Ahhh¡ª" The terrified screams rang out as those who had charged forward were hit and sent flying, unable to get up.

    With one of their fellows in Qin Jiang''s grasp being used as a weapon, they dared not attack and could only dodge continuously.

    Qin Jiang bulldozed his way through them, and within half a minute, a dozen or so meny scattered on the ground, moaning in pain.

    The man in his hand had already foamed at the mouth and passed out.

    "This¡ª" Whether it was the thugs or the onlookers, they all swallowed hard.

    Who was this guy?

    A monster?

    Someone weighing over a hundred pounds was being lifted single-handedly like swinging a stick? That kind of strength was just too terrifying!

    Qin Jiang dropped the unconscious man to the ground, looked at the thugs who were already intimidated, and said with an icy tone, "Tell Brother Dao to roll out here! My patience is limited; I''ll give him five minutes!"

    "One minutete, and I''ll break one of his legs!"

    This arrogant pronouncement thundered through the gambling den like roaring thunder, once again causing a huge uproar!

    Outrageous!

    Taken to the extreme!

    To talk like this in front of a hundred strong men, did this kid expect to walk out alive?

    The faces of those underlings all turned an ashen hue.

    They were ustomed to being overbearing and never had anyone dared to be so brazen in front of them.

    If they didn''t cripple this guy today!

    How would they ever stand tall in Jiangcheng again?

    There was dead silence for a few seconds.

    Then, a deep voice came from the floor above, "Which ignorant brat dares to threaten to break my legs?"

    As this cold voice fell, a middle-aged man dressed in a vest descended the stairs, revealing his powerful muscles and striding down with the might of a dragon and the agility of a tiger.

    Several underlings followed him, full of vigor.

    An imposing presence!

    "Brother Dao!"

    Upon seeing this middle-aged man, the people present turned pale instantly.

    "Brother Dao himself has taken action; this is big trouble. This kid is definitely done for..."

 Chapter 9: 9 Sir Hu!

    ```

    Brother Dao''s notoriety was well-known to them; this was the man who had once taken down dozens of tough guys single-handedly with a knife!

    He was also one of the six overlords of Fengcheng, Sir Hu''s right-hand man!

    In the half year that Sir Hu had been in prison, it was Brother Dao who had stabilized the situation.

    As he stepped forward, his murderous aura intensified, pressing down on everyone like a heavy stone, and finally, his cold, knife-like gaze fell on Qin Jiang.

    "It''s you who wanted to see me?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Yes, it''s me."

    Brother Dao sneered, "Show up within five minutes, or else a finger gets cut off? Young man, you''ve got quite the nerve!"

    "Thest person who dared to speak to me like that now has grass over his grave that''s tens of feet tall!"

    "I think... you''re courting death!"

    Brother Dao wasn''t in the mood to waste time with Qin Jiang, having just received a phone call from Sir Hu who said he''de over here to y a couple of roundster.

    If Sir Hu were to see someone daring to make trouble here, he''d me Brother Dao for not managing things properly, an usation he couldn''t afford to bear.

    So, the most pressing matter was to get rid of this guy quickly before Sir Hu saw him!

    Qin Jiang stated dispassionately, "I came here today to seek justice."

    "Justice?" Brother Dao burst into derisiveughter, "Here, what I say is justice! I am the ultimate truth!"

    "Youe to me seeking justice? Have you lost your mind?"

    These words from Brother Dao made those little ruffians snicker.

    "Idiot!"

    "Seeking justice?"

    "Even if Brother Dao buried him on the spot, no one would dare to peep a word!"

    Qin Jiang''s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you saying that there is nothing to discuss?"

    "Discuss my ass!" Brother Dao''s eyes widened as he strode forward forcefully, "Coming here making trouble, tell me how you want to die!"

    Qin Jiang chuckled coldly, "As it happens, I''m not one to reason either; I''ll just beat you into a pulp first and then we can talk slowly."

    "Presumptuous!" Brother Dao flew into a rage, grabbed an iron bar from one of his men, stomped the ground fiercely and charged towards Qin Jiang!

    "Swoosh¡ª"

    In an instant, his body was already in front of Qin Jiang! Incredibly fast, and then the bar swung down with great force!

    But, Qin Jiang merely reached out his hand and caught the wooden stick in his grasp!

    "You¡ª"

    Brother Dao was in disbelief; after all, he was a Martial Artist with External Strength, and that swing had at least hundreds of pounds of force!

    Caught with one hand by this fellow?

    Before he could react, Qin Jiang''s knife hand had already chopped down on his arm!

    Brother Dao''s arm broke on the spot, and he screamed in pain.

    The iron bar was now in Qin Jiang''s hand.

    "Bang, bang!" With two muffled sounds, Brother Dao took a hard hit to the back of his knees and dropped to his knees in front of Qin Jiang with a thud!

    He raised his head, burning with rage.

    "Did I give you permission to look up?"

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, and with a swing of the stick, Brother Dao''s head was bloodied; he clutched his head in pain, his whole body limp on the ground.

    Qin Jiang''s gaze was icy as he grabbed Brother Dao by the cor!

    "p, p!"

    Two ps rang out, one after the other, turning his face into a pig''s head, the cheeks torn open, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, utterly humiliated...

    Brother Dao felt his head buzzing, nearly concussed by the blows!

    In his eyes directed at Qin Jiang, fear had taken hold.

    Qin Jiang smiled, "Now, can we have a proper talk?"

    ```

    Brother Dao wanted to cry but had no tears, and he quickly begged for mercy, "Big brother, let''s talk, talk! Whatever you want to discuss is fine, you call the shots!"

    Everyone was stunned.

    The once magnificent and peerless Brother Dao, who was their enemy of a hundred men, was now actually being hung up and beaten by this young man!

    And he even knelt down in front of him!

    Who on earth was this young man?

    Qin Yan said indifferently, "You gave the Xu Family a loan and even sent people to harass them at their home!"

    "Did this happen?"

    "I..."

    Qin Jiang directly pped him with a heavy smack, "Did it happen or not?!"

    "Yes, yes, yes!"

    Brother Dao nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, "Big brother, I was wrong, how do you want to handle this?"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "How much money did they borrow initially?"

    "Three hundred thousand!" Brother Dao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

    "How much have they paid back now?"

    Brother Dao hesitated for a moment, "Altogether, probably about five hundred thousand?"

    Qin Jiang revealed a cold smile, "ording to your calctions, how much is still owed?"

    "This, this..." Brother Dao said bravely, "Five hundred thousand!"

    "You''ve got quite the dark heart!" Qin Jiang kicked him and sent him flying, Brother Dao almost threw up his stomach acid!

    "Now, you tell me, how are you going topensate for this matter?"

    Qin Yan approached him step by step, asking indifferently.

    Brother Dao was so scared his legs went weak, "Big brother, I''ll return two hundred thousand to them, is that enough?"

    "Not enough!" Qin Jiang shook his head.

    Brother Dao, pushing through his reluctance, said in a fawning tone, "Then... then I''ll return five hundred thousand to them, and the three hundred thousand can be considered a tribute!"

    "Still not enough!" Qin Jiang continued to shake his head.

    Brother Dao''s face showed his pain, "Then big brother, you name a price!"

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "First, take one million back to them, and return it."

    "Second, personally apologize to them."

    Though Brother Dao was unwilling at heart, seeing Qin Yan''s icy gaze, he could only nod repeatedly, "Fine! I''ll go and do it right away!"

    He had no other choice...

    The strength that Qin Jiang had shown was simply not something he could afford to provoke!

    He could only bleed money to avert disaster!

    Just at that moment, from outside the gambling house, a deep voice came, "Little Dao, why have you closed the doors during broad daylight? Don''t tell me, you''re not weing me?"

    As soon as this voice came out, instantly, everyone''s body shook!

    Sir Hu!

    "Sir Hu is here!"

    "Quick, quick, quick, hurry up and open the door!"

    The doors to the gambling house were immediately opened, and Liu Hu walked in with amanding stride from outside, his face grim as he scanned the room, "What''s going on?!"

    "Hu, Sir Hu! Someone is causing trouble!"

    Hearing this, Liu Hu''s eyes bulged in fury, and he bellowed, "Rubbish! Who has such a death wish? Watch me tear him to shreds!"

    The underlings trembled with fear, "Sir Hu! That guy, he''s over there!"

    "Move!" Liu Hu''s mighty frame shook, and he parted the crowd, stepping forward, "Let me see this ignoramus who doesn''t know the heights of heaven and the depths of earth!"

    For all these years, apart from eating a big loss from that guy in prison, no one had dared to be so arrogant in front of him!

 Chapter 10: 10: Lord Qin!

    "Sir Hu! You finally arrived!" Brother Dao''s eyes lit up, shimmering with hope, as he saw Liu Hu approaching and burst out crying, feeling wronged.

    Liu Hu was a towering figure, robust and muscr, exerting an overwhelming presence.

    Especially now, with his fury unleashed, it felt like an immense force was pressing down on their chests, making it hard even to breathe!

    One of the six overlords of Jiangcheng!

    Liu Hu!

    Not only was he the leader of one of the six major forces, but he was also an extremely powerful martial artist! It was said that he could smash a twenty-centimeter-thick steel te with a single punch and lift a massive stone weighing thousands of kilos with his bare hands!

    Such terrifying power was beyond theprehension of ordinary people.

    The people around, upon seeing Liu Hu, instinctively stepped back, their faces filled with reverence.

    Liu Hu''s gaze immediately fixed on Brother Dao, and seeing him bloodied and kneeling before Qin Jiang, he flew into a rage.

    "Little Dao!"

    "To be reduced to this by a mere whippersnapper, you''vepletely lost face for me! What''s so scary about a yellow-haired kid?"

    "Your Sir Hu can burst him into pieces and throw him out to the dogs within minutes!"

    Liu Hu was furious.

    For many years, very few people had dared to cause trouble on his turf!

    Even during the time he was in prison!

    Those outsiders hardly ever dared to provoke him on his own ground!

    Because the name Liu Hu in Jiangcheng was like a que!

    After cursing, Liu Hu''s gaze fell on Qin Jiang, who had his back turned to him. His eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Kid, let your Sir Hu see who the hell dares to cause trouble here!"

    "Today, I see you''re looking to leave horizontally, aren''t you?"

    "Turn around and let me have a look at you!"

    His tone was arrogant.

    But soon, he sensed something was amiss. He took a closer look at the figure of Qin Jiang and realized it felt somewhat familiar.

    His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach!

    Could it be that Lord?

    It couldn''t be such a coincidence!

    It must just be a resemnce from the back, he frantically reassured himself.

    Gathering his courage, he walked toward Qin Jiang with a menacing air!

    "Dammit, are you deaf? I told you to turn your head around! Immediately! Right now!"

    Liu Hu''s roar was like a bell tolling, making everyone''s ears buzz.

    "It''s over, it''s over..."

    "This kid is toast!"

    "Sir Hu, this time, he''s really furious..."

    Brother Dao sneered, "Kid! You might be better at fighting than me! But in front of Sir Hu, you''re nothing!"

    "Now, you''re as good as dead!"

    As a loyal fan of Sir Hu, he knew how terrifying Sir Hu''s strength was!

    With Sir Hu taking action, this guy would be obliterated in no time in front of Sir Hu!

    "If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, kowtow to Sir Hu, maybe, just maybe, you''ll have a slim chance of keeping your pathetic life..."

    Brother Dao grew bolder and started berating Qin Jiang with borrowed bravado.

    "Is that so?"

    Qin Jiang chuckled amusedly, slowly turning his head, tauntingly gazing at Liu Hu.

    Liu Hu''s aggressive form suddenly froze!

    Cold sweat broke out all over his body, his heart hammering.

    Even his legs started to tremble.

    He was almost ready to kneel down to Qin Jiang right there.

    Qin Jiangughed, "Liu Hu, your little brother here asked me to kneel and kowtow to you, saying that way you might spare me. What do you think?"

    Liu Hu''s scalp tingled, "I..."

    Brother Dao immediately shouted, "Sir Hu! This guy is too arrogant, talking to you like that! You have to punish him, cripple him to avenge us brothers!"

    "Shut up!"

    The embellishing words instantly made Liu Hu''s scalp go numb. He roared angrily and pped Brother Dao across the face, sending him crashing to the ground, his mind going nk!

    Everyone was stunned!

    What''s going on? Has Sir Hu lost his mind? Why is he hitting Brother Dao?

    Isn''t he supposed to teach that other guy a lesson?

    But then, in the next moment! An even more jaw-dropping scene unfolded... Liu Hu, one of the six overlords of Jiangcheng, suddenly knelt down before Qin Jiang, bowed his head, and trembled with a shout of, "Lord Qin!"

    The ce instantly fell into a deadly silence.

 Chapter 11: 11 Kneel and Apologize!

    Liu Hu shivered as he knelt at Qin Jiang''s feet, asionally raising his head in fear to gauge Qin Jiang''s expression.

    And everyone present at the moment had their jaws dropping!!

    What did they see?

    Sir Hu, one of the six overlords of Jiangcheng, kneeling at this guy''s foot?

    They couldn''t believe their eyes!

    Brother Dao was also dumbfounded, "Hu... Sir Hu, what are you doing?"

    "Shut up! Kneel down! Quickly beg Lord Qin for forgiveness!"

    Liu Hu scolded angrily, "This time, you damned idiot have brought a catastrophic disaster upon us!"

    He gritted his teeth with a face full of rage, wishing he could tear Brother Dao to pieces!

    Of all people to provoke, it had to be this grim reaper¡­ they were doomed!

    A chill went down Brother Dao''s spine when he realized the situation was grim; he knelt down with a thud, lowering his head and not daring to look at Qin Jiang.

    Complete silence fell over the ce.

    Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Xiaohu, your man here is quite something, daring to bully my fianc¨¦e. You''ve been managing them really well."

    Liu Hu trembled upon hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Lord Qin, I... I didn''t know anything, it was all his doing!"

    "I will immediately cleanse our ranks and give you a proper exnation!"

    Qin Jiang waved his hand and narrowed his eyes, "Why do you like to y this game of fighting and killing? Today I came to reason, not to fight and kill! Don''t you agree?"

    "Right, right, right!" Liu Hu echoed, while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead; the more Qin Jiang smiled, the more fearful he became.

    He tentatively asked, "Then... Lord Qin, how would you like to handle this matter?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "First,e over to apologize."

    "Second, a million inpensation to my fianc¨¦e and her family, no problem, right?"

    "No problem, no problem!" Liu Hu said sycophantically.

    The crowd was thrown into confusion...

    What was going on??

    Sir Hu, the overlord they held in high regard, was showing such respect to this young man, even... it could be described as groveling!

    It shattered their worldview...

    Qin Jiang''s voice turned cold, "I don''t have time to settle scores with you today. I''ll let you off the hook for now! But if there''s a next time, I won''t mind throwing you back in jail to scrub the toilets for a few months beforeing out!"

    "Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Hu showed a smile uglier than crying and kept bowing, "Thank you for your great mercy, Lord Qin!"

    Qin Jiang nced at Brother Dao, "Remember, carry out the task I gave you without missing a word! Do you understand?"

    "Understood, understood!" Brother Dao was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he kept nodding his head.

    Sir Hu himself was so terrified of this young man; how could he dare to act up?

    Not following what the other party said ¨C was he seeking death?

    Afterward, as Qin Jiang walked out, Liu Hu quickly got up, about to bow, "Lord Qin, let Xiaohu escort you, take care¡ª"

    Seeing Sir Hu trailing behind Qin Jiang like a quail, everyone at the scene gaped, as if they had seen a ghost.

    Qin Jiang left the gambling house and did not return to the Xu Family but went back to his own home.

    Meanwhile, at the Xu Family, Xu Muge sat on the sofa with a worried face, her fingers tightly interlocked, asionally looking towards the door.

    Liu Ya snorted, "Muge, it''s been over an hour; that guy is probably wasted by now! You stop worrying!"

    "Daring to cause trouble on Brother Dao''s turf; he was asking for death!"

    Liu Ya said, "Such ignorance of the way the world works! I wonder if Brother Dao will implicate us... I hope Brother Dao won''t take his anger out on us!"

    Just as she was fretting, a knock suddenly came from outside the door.

    "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

    This voice made Xu Muge and the others shiver in unison!

    This... this was Brother Dao''s voice!

    "It''s over, all over!" Liu Ya and the others had faces filled with despair. Brother Dao hade to seek revenge. Now, they were done for...

    ```

    However, when they trembled as they opened the door, intending to beg for mercy, Brother Dao had fallen to his knees with a thud.

    "Xu Brother, sorry, sorry, we were blind before!"

    "Please forgive us!"

    This scene left Xu Jinhong and the otherspletely dumbstruck!

    "What... What''s going on?"

    Xu Jinhong stepped back several times, too frightened to speak.

    "Brother... Brother Dao, what... what are you doing? Get up, quick!"

    His panic was palpable! What on earth was Brother Dao up to?

    Just kneeling there, who could stand it?

    Not only him, but Liu Ya and the sister and brother Xu Muge inside the house were also shocked.

    They had witnessed Brother Dao''s previous arrogance! Wouldn''t they be scared by this sudden act?

    Who knew what kind of trap it was?

    Brother Dao kneeled at the doorway, trembling as he said, "Xu Big Brother, I came here today to apologize. If you don''t forgive me, I''m not getting up!"

    "This¡ª"

    Xu Jinhong paused for a moment, "Brother Dao, what are you talking about? Get up quickly!"

    He hurriedly pulled Brother Dao up, swallowed hard, and said, "Brother Dao... you''re... you''re killing us here!"

    Brother Dao rushed to exin, "I really dide to apologize to you today!"

    "And also, this card has five million in it, it''s ourpensation to you!"

    "We''ve brought you so much trouble during this time, and for that, I am truly sorry." As he spoke, he fervently pped his own face.

    Xu Jinhong wanted to stop him, but couldn''t, feelingpletely helpless throughout.

    Afterward, Brother Dao presented the bank card with utmost respect, saying, "Xu Big Brother, I am sincerely here to apologize this time. You have to speak a few good words for me to Lord Qin!"

    Lord Qin?

    Everyone''s minds buzzed! Was it Qin Jiang who had resolved their problem?

    Furthermore, not only had their debt been cleared, but Brother Dao personally came to apologize, offering a million aspensation! They found it unbelievable!

    "Xu Brother, if you don''t ept my sincerity, then I may just have to kneel here indefinitely!"

    Seeing that Xu Jinhong was still stunned, Brother Dao thought he wasn''t willing to let it go and immediately was about to kneel again!

    Xu Jinhong quickly held on to him, "Brother Dao, please get up!"

    He cautiously epted the bank card, his palm all sweaty.

    Could it be some kind of trap?

    After all, dealing with Brother Dao was like ying with a knife, they might as well do as he suggested!

    "Phew¡ª" Seeing that he epted the bank card, Brother Dao let out a sigh of relief, "Then Xu Big Brother, if that''s the case, I won''t bother you any further."

    Brother Dao nodded and bowed repeatedly, meekly leaving the ce.

    Liu Ya quickly stepped forward, still astonished, "Why did Brother Dao suddenly change like that? Is it really because of that guy, Qin Jiang?"

    "Is there really a million in this card?!"

    Her eyes started to gleam.

    "Won''t we find out if we try?"

    Xu Jinhong gripped the bank card tightly, if it''s real, then they have struck it rich!

    A million, no less!!!

    And, the likelihood of Brother Dao deliberately messing with them was slim.

    Thinking from another angle, if Brother Dao truly wanted to harm them, he had more than a hundred ways to do it. There was no need for him to demean himself like this!

    "Let''s go! To the nearby bank to find out if it''s real!"

    Qin Jiang didn''t return to Xu Family but instead took a cab home.

    At the same moment, Shen Longting also called, reporting today''s situation at Luo Corporation.

    ```

 Chapter 12: 12 Revenge!

    "Master, as you expected, Luo Corporation''s shares plummeted to the limit on the very first day of listing! The Luo family, not only incurred losses but was nailed to the pir of shame!"

    Qin Jiang was quite satisfied with this result.

    He said indifferently, "Continue to sniper them, do not give them any chance to catch their breath. I want to see them with nowhere toy their dead bodies!"

    The Lin Family.

    Luo Shifeiy in Lin Jiaolong''s arms, her eyes full of grievance and indignation!

    "Jiaolong, that Qin Jiang is too arrogant. Not only did he cause a scene at my grandfather''s birthday banquet, but he also crippled my brother and made you lose face in public! We must not let this go; we have to make him taste the pain..."

    Holding her, Lin Jiaolong thought of Qin Jiang, his tone ice-cold, "Rest assured, I will not let him off easily. The Lin family''s housekeeper will soon return from his mission abroad, and then, it will be the end for this pair of dogs!"

    He remembered the humiliation he felt at the Luo family''s ce today, and his heart was filled with hatred. What trash Qin Jiang thought he was, daring to struggle with the Lin Family?

    Luo Shifei sneered, "At that time, we''ll start with those around him one by one, Xu Muge, his rtives, his friends... ruin them all! Let him experience what it feels like to be better off dead!"

    Time flew by in a sh.

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

    During these three days, Luo Corporation''s share price hit the limit down continuously, plummeting by sixty percent!

    Assets directly shrank by sixty percent!

    The losses were severe...

    And Qin Jiang, upon receiving this news, a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. Everything the Luo family had done to him, he wanted them to pay back double... to see them step by step fall from heaven into hell!

    Over these three days.

    He asked about Xu Muge''s condition every day. Xu Muge was very cold towards him, and they didn''t talk much, just a brief update on the situation.

    Qin Jiang could only smile wryly.

    He knew the damage he had done to Xu Muge was too great, so her current attitude towards him was normal... He had to try his best to make it up to Xu Muge.

    On the third day, Qin Sisi, pushing a wheelchair, came out from inside, eximing excitedly, "Brother, Muge''s face has recovered, it has really recovered! This is great!"

    Qin Sisi cried tears of joy!!

    She and Xu Muge were as close as sisters; now Xu Muge finally didn''t have to live with a face full of scars, no longer living in darkness!

    She was genuinely excited.

    Qin Jiang was not surprised, but still showed a smile and immediately called Xu Muge.

    "Hello, Muge." Qin Jiang''s voice was very gentle.

    "Qin Jiang, my face has recovered!" Over the phone, Xu Muge''s voice came through with a sob.

    She cried tears of extreme joy.

    For three years...

    She had lived three years of sunless days under that hideous face.

    Now, everything had finallye to an end!

    Qin Jiangughed softly and said, "I told you I would make you recover. Now, you can rest assured."

    Xu Muge was overwhelmed with emotion and wiped away her tears, "Qin Jiang, thank you."

    Suddenly...

    A loud bang came through over the phone!

    "Who are you, and why are you breaking into my house!?"

    Xu Muge''s voice came through, filled with fear.

    "Seize them all! Heh heh... Mr. Lin and Miss Luo have ordered us to take good care of this entire family!"

    Before Qin Jiang could even speak, the crisp sound of a cell phone hitting the floor reached his ears!

    "Muge! Muge? Muge!!"

    Qin Jiang called her name several times, but there was no response whatsoever. He was frantic with worry and raced downstairs to hail a cab to the Xu Family''s home!

    His eyes bloodshot with anger, he roared, "Driver, fast! Immediately! Take me to the destination!"

    The Xu family''s rented house.

    The scene was a total mess; a middle-aged man sat in the hall with an air of arrogant coldness.

    A number ofckeys followed at his side.

    Xu Muge had already been tied up, with numerous injuries on her body and face, her hair in disarray!

    And Xu Muliny unconscious on the ground, his mouth smeared with blood...

    Xu Jinhong and his wife were firmly grasped, forced to kneel on the ground, continuously knocking their heads and begging for mercy, "Please, let our Muge go..."

    "Hahaha!"

    Lin Family''s butler Lin Heng sneered, "Let her go?"

    "Our Mr. Lin and Miss Luo are worried she won''t be able to marry, so they sent us here to let Xu Muge taste what it''s like to be a woman, this is a good thing ¨C why are you so scared?"

    Having said that, he walked straight toward Xu Muge, lifting her chin, "Tsk tsk, Miss Xu is already back to her full beauty? Truly a nation''s beauty, a fragrant beauty!"

    "Don''t worry, I''ve practiced martial arts for many years, my body is strong and my power fierce, I will definitely make you feelfortable, and enjoy it..."

    "Moreover, we''ve brought a video camera today to record all these beautiful moments, Miss Xu, do enjoy yourself..."

    "With over a dozen men here, even if Miss Xu''s needs are immense, it should be more than enough, right?"

    The otherckeys also began tough lewdly, their faces alight with desire. Forckeys like them, to enjoy such a top-quality beautiful woman was their great fortune!

    Xu Muge trembled all over in fear.

    "If you dare touch me, Qin Jiang will never let you go!"

    "Qin Jiang? If he darese, today will be his death day!" Lin Heng sneered. "In front of him, I will treat you like a bitch, wantonly spurring you on, trampling over you..."

    "His pain, despair, anger, and helplessness ¨C Mr. Lin and Miss Luo will definitely, definitely like it!"

    "I''ll fight you with my life!"

    Xu Jinlong somehow mustered the strength to break free, his eyes bloodshot. He roared and rushed forward to strangle the henchman by the neck!

    "You''re just a wretch!" Lin Heng raised his hand and pped Xu Jinlong unconscious with a palm!

    "Thud¡ª" Seeing this, Liu Ya''s face grew even more desperate as she pleaded bitterly, "Please, let my daughter go. I, I am willing to suffer in her ce..."

    "As long as it appeases Mr. Lin and Miss Luo, you can ask me to do anything, just don''t let my daughter suffer such humiliation!"

    Lin Heng grabbed her chin and threw her into the group ofckeys, "This old Xu woman isn''t bad either! Well then, today I will thoroughly enjoy the luxury of mother and daughter together! Hahaha¡ª"

    Having said that.

    He grabbed Xu Muge and Liu Ya, heading straight to the room, "You guys keep watch at the door. After I''ve had my fun, you can enjoy yourselves too!"

    Xu Muge and her mother looked utterly desperate, about to be defiled by this pack of animals. How could they face living in this world anymore?

    Xu Muge clenched her teeth, trying to break free from his grasp and ram herself into a chair!

    The middle-aged man immediately pulled her back, his voice cold, "If you dare seek death, I''ll kill your brother and your father right now..."

    Upon hearing this, Xu Muge''s face turned ashen!

    "That''s more like it!" Lin Heng sneered and reached out to tear Xu Muge''s clothes!

 Chapter 13: 13: Worse than Death!

    Xu Muge closed her eyes in despair.

    Tears slid down...

    Suddenly!

    The iron door was kicked open!

    The few guards inside were struck by the door and knocked out on the spot! A figure with heavy breathing and blood-red eyes appeared at the doorway!

    Qin Jiang looked at the scene before him, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

    "Who sent you?" he asked.

    Lin Heng sneered coldly, "I am Lin Heng, the first steward and top martial artist of the Lin Family!"

    "Our Mr. Lin said that we must cripple you... Today, you came just in time. After I cripple you, I''ll let you watch a grand show of Xu Muge being pinned down and vited by me!"

    "You won''t have that chance, because, I''m going to kill you," Qin Jiang said icily.

    "Such arrogant words! The moment you stepped in here today, your death was certain!" Lin Heng said with disdain, his powerful strength bursting forth as he charged forward, his fist smashing toward Qin Jiang!

    "Die." Qin Jiang''s eyes were filled with killing intent, and he threw a simple punch as well!

    An explosive force suddenly burst forth like a violent storm, turning Lin Heng''s arm into a mist of blood. The excruciating pain immediately elicited a shrill scream from him!

    Lin Heng and the other Lin Familyckeys were all petrified by this scene!

    The Lin Family''s number one martial artist had his arm blown off by this youth with a single punch?

    Just how terrifying was this guy?

    In the next moment...

    Qin Jiang grabbed hold of his cor, lifted him up, and unleashed a barrage of punches, bones breaking in rapid session. Lin Heng spat out blood continuously, his breath growing faint...

    "Die!" Qin Jiang''s eyes turned cold as he seized Lin Heng''s throat, ready to kill him!

    "Qin Jiang, no¡ª" Xu Muge''s loud shout brought back some of Qin Jiang''s sanity.

    He did not want Xu Muge to witness his brutal and bloodthirsty side.

    Furthermore, if these people died here and officials got involved, it would be troublesome for Xu Muge and others.

    With this in mind, his eyes grew cold, and then several silver needles appeared in his hand.

    He inserted them into Lin Heng''s body.

    "Ah¡ª"

    Lin Heng immediately issued another anguished scream.

    "After today, you will be a cripple."

    "Your cultivation gone! Your limbs broken! Your mouth unable to speak, and you will feel constant, knife-like agony in your body! I won''t let you die,"

    "instead..."

    "I''ll make you wish you were dead!"

    Lin Heng, with his limbs crippled, was thrown to the ground by Qin Jiang, shaking uncontrobly, but he could only make muffled screams!

    This method chilled theckeys to their very bones...

    They wanted to flee, but Qin Jiang was blocking the door, trapping them inside. He picked up a stick and approached them.

    "Attack together¡ª"

    Theckeys were fearful, but after ncing at each other, they gathered their courage and charged at Qin Jiang!

    Suddenly...

    A series of screams erupted!

    Qin Jiang, like a wolf among sheep, swept through them!

    In an instant, all theckeys were lying on the ground, howling with their broken legs...

    "A devil! This guy is a devil! Too terrifying..."

    They looked at Qin Jiang with fear.

    "Nobody move, anyone who does, dies," Qin Jiang said coldly, his eyes sweeping over them.

    Fearful and dare not to stir, they remained frozen.

    As soon as Qin Jiang turned around, a tearful Xu Muge had already thrown herself into his arms!

    Seeing Xu Muge, who was crying like a tear-stained mess, Qin Jiang felt heartbroken. He held her in his arms andforted her with determination in his voice, "From now on, I am here. No one can hurt you again!"

    Xu Muge cried for a good ten seconds, her copsed and terrified emotions gradually stabilizing. Her face blushed as she stepped away from his chest.

    Qin Jiang spoke soothingly.

    "I''ll go heal Uncle Xu and Mulin first."

    Then, he went over to Xu Jinhong, applied acupuncture to him, and after a few minutes, the extremely weak Xu Jinhong opened his eyes...

    When he grabbed Qin Jiang''s hand, "Qin Jiang, how are Muge and my wife?"

    Xu Muge and Liu Ya quickly stepped forward, "We''re here, it''s okay..."

    Seeing his family was safe, Xu Jinhong burst into tears, "It''s all my fault for being useless, my fault! I couldn''t protect you..."

    "This time, fortunately, Qin Jiang arrived in time."

    His eyes towards Qin Jiang were filled with gratitude.

    Qin Jiang quickly said earnestly, "Uncle Xu, this is what I should do. You rest well and heal. Don''t get too worked up, let me treat Mulin."

    Afterward, Xu Mulin also slowly woke up. Knowing that Qin Jiang had saved his family, his eyes were also filled withplex emotions.

    Then, his gaze fell on the group ofckeys as he asked coldly, "Where are Lin Jiaolong and Luo Shifei, those two bastards?"

    "They, they..."

    The people stammered, too afraid to speak.

    Qin Jiang kicked one of them, causing him to fly out and pass out from the agonizing scream.

    "You have three seconds to decide, three... two..."

    Before the next count, the group was already terrified and quickly said, "Mr. Lin and the others are at Qingya Pavilion..."

    "Qingya Pavilion!" Qin Jiang''s eyes darkened, "Good!"

    Lin Jiaolong and Luo Shifei dared to harm Xu Muge and the others; he would repay tooth for tooth, blood for blood, making them pay a hundred times over!

    "Scram!"

    With Qin Jiang''s angry shout, thoseckeys, along with their unconsciouspanion, scrambled away from the ce.

    "Muge, rest assured, I will seek justice for what you have suffered," Qin Jiang promised solemnly. After speaking, he prepared to leave for his next destination.

    The target... Qingya Pavilion!

 Chapter 14: 14 Never Let Go!

    "Wait!" Xu Muge shook her head, "don''t go, it''s too dangerous."

    "We can''t beat them..."

    Her expression was bitter.

    Liu Ya mocked, "Don''t think your little Three-legged Cat Kung Fu makes you something special. Both the Lin Family and Luo Family are behemoths in Jiangcheng. Which one can you fight against?"

    "Just don''t end up getting us involved again! Haven''t you caused us enough trouble already?"

    Hearing Liu Ya''s scolding, Qin Jiang gave a bitter smile and stayed silent in his rebuttal.

    Liu Ya continued coldly, "Qin Jiang, you and Muge are no longer from the same world. If you really like her, then don''t hold her back! She deserves better!"

    "After Muge''s beauty is restored, you have no idea how many rich young men will be vying to ask for her hand. Compared to those talented youths, you''re worthless! My words may be blunt, but they are reality!"

    "Mom, let me handle this." Xu Muge, hearing Liu Ya''s harsh words, hurriedly interjected.

    "I''ll make it clear to him!" Liu Ya''s tone was resolute.

    Qin Jiang took a deep breath and said determinedly, "Then tell me, Auntie, what qualifications do I need to marry Muge?"

    Liu Ya scoffed repeatedly, "A dowry of tens of millions! A betrothal gift of a million in gold! A proper and public marriage proposal! A grand wedding ceremony! Three thousand guests... These are just the basic requirements!"

    "Which can you achieve?"

    "Right now you have nothing at all. We can''t bear to watch Muge marry you and suffer!"

    Qin Jiang inhaled deeply, "Auntie, I will achieve everything you mentioned, and I will wee Muge into my home in glory and splendor!"

    "Enough!" Xu Muge scolded lightly, "Qin Jiang, stop deluding yourself. Our rtionship ended three years ago! We no longer have any engagement between us!"

    "Can you ept reality, please?"

    "I don''t want my parents and brother to live in such a filthy, gloomy, damp old shanty anymore! I don''t want them to borrow from loan sharks over a small amount of money, almost getting killed..."

    "Also, the reason the Lin Family came to us today is partly because of you!"

    "Qin Jiang... these past three years, I''ve had enough. Please, let me go. I just want to live a better life..."

    As Xu Muge spoke these words, her heart ached. She knew her words were heartless, but she had no choice! She still had feelings for Qin Jiang, but she had to bear with it...

    "I can endure hardship, but I can''t subject my family to suffer with me! That would be too selfish... Qin Jiang, forgive me!"

    Qin Jiang''s heart clenched, "Muge... are these truly your thoughts?"

    Xu Muge herself felt a sudden pang of pain, but still resolutely nodded, "Yes. I''m going back to the Xu Family to take control as president! To restore my parents'' status in the Xu Family, to let them return to a life of luxury!"

    "These are things you can''t provide for us."

    "Qin Jiang, I no longer have any interest in love; I only want to focus wholeheartedly on my career. I don''t owe you anything now, I, Xu Muge, have always been fair to you!"

    Qin Jiang spoke solemnly, "Everything you said I can do! Just by a single word from me, you could stand atop Jiangcheng and no one would dare..."

    Xu Muge looked at him with disappointment, "Qin Jiang! I know you''re somewhat capable now, but can you talk sense? Do you find it amusing to boast in front of me?"

    "What''s the use of martial strength? Money, power, status¡ªthese are the fundamentals of this society! Many things can''t be solved with just fists!"

    "I..." Qin Jiang''s words reached the tip of his tongue, then swallowed them back. "I will prove it with my actions."

    He knew that Xu Muge always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If she truly had no feelings for him, why would she have kept an eye on him all these years?

    Everything she did, all the words she spoke, Qin Jiang could understand! She could bear hardship with Qin Jiang, but she couldn''t bear to see her family suffer!

    Xu Muge, seeing the determination in his eyes, felt the indifference in her gaze melt away a bit, but her tone was still icy, "Fine, then I''ll consider your proposal. I hope you won''t disappoint me again..."

    Hearing Xu Muge''s words, Qin Jiang felt a burst of joy. He knew she was giving him a chance to make amends, and he had to seize it!

    This time...

    He definitely wouldn''t miss or let down this girl again!

    Liu Ya disdainfully said, "You just keep boasting! Your words aren''t worth a punctuation mark to be trusted!"

    "Now Muge''s appearance has merely been restored, but what about everything she lost? She used to be the darling of Jiangcheng, the brightest star among the crowd!"

    "And now? Our family of four is living a life of poverty in this broken-down ce, all thanks to you! Do you think this makes up for what you owe her?"

    Qin Jiang spoke earnestly, "Auntie, I will prove with actions that I can bring happiness to Muge. If I can''t do it, and she wants to pursue a new life, I will bless her."

    Xu Muge softened a little and sighed, "Qin Jiang, I didn''t want to be so harsh either. I just... want you to be practical. I''m not the little girl I was before! The happiness I want is within reach!"

    "I don''t feel any security from a promise that''s easily made; instead, it feels frivolous and perfunctory."

    "I''m very afraid..."

    Qin Jiang saw the tears flickering in her eyes and felt both heartache and guilt.

    Xu Muge, however, suppressed theplex emotions in her heart and turned her face away, "You should go back and cool off for now. I want to rest. Also, don''t go looking for Lin Jiaolong and the others. If something happens, nobody can save you!"

    "Alright." Qin Jiang nodded, "In that case, I will take my leave now."

    "Muge, rest well."

    After speaking, Qin Jiang looked deeply at Xu Muge, then turned around and left. As he walked away, his gaze hardened.

    After lighting a cigarette to calm his emotions, he suddenly stomped on the elerator, heading straight for Qingya Pavilion!

    Lin Jiaolong and Luo Shifei had peoplee to the Xu Family to make trouble, and they did things to Xu Muge that were lower than animals. Qin Jiang promised Muge he wouldn''t trouble them, just to keep her from worrying.

    But how could he let those two beasts go?

 Chapter 15: 15: Going Out to Kill!

    On the road, he dialed Shen Longting''s number, "Help me look into the origins of Qingya Pavilion!"

    Shen Longting said, "Master, Qingya Pavilion is an asset under Sir Hu''s name. Why are you inquiring about this?"

    "I''m going to find Lin Jiaolong and Luo Shifei," Qin Jiang said coldly. "Those two beasts have reached out their ws towards Muge''s family. I''ll make them pay a heavy price."

    Shen Longting was shocked in his heart, "Master, do you need me toe over and help you?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head, "No need, I alone am enough!"

    Meanwhile.

    In a private room at Qingya Pavilion, Lin Jiaolong and Luo Shifei, both wearing smug expressions, seemed to have already witnessed Xu Muge''s miserable state.

    Lin Jiaolong snorted coldly, "Shifei, you can rest assured. Lin Heng is the strongest person in our Lin Family, very powerful. There won''t be any idents."

    "Soon, we will receive the news."

    Luo Shifei''s eyes were filled with resentment, "I also want that wench''s humiliation video to spread everywhere!"

    Lin Jiaolong touched her raised bottom, pulled her into his arms, and said coldly, "Not just Xu Muge, that Qin Jiang brat won''t escape today either!"

    "Lin Heng previously called me. He said that when they arrived, Xu Muge was on a phone call with Qin Jiang. Knowing that Xu Muge was in trouble, Qin Jiang would also rush over to court death!"

    "However, what''s strange is that Xu Muge''s appearance, has recovered!"

    "What?" Luo Shifei was startled, then a chill shed in her eyes, "Never mind. Just destroy her again. This time it won''t be just her face, I''ll make her whole body covered in disgusting scars!"

    "Let''s just wait for the good news!"

    Just then, Lin Jiaolong''s cell phone suddenly started beeping.

    Lin Jiaolong picked it up to see, and immediately his face lit up with joy, "Someone from my Lin Family is calling!"

    He quickly answered the phone, arrogantly asking, "Have you taken care of what you were told to do? Send over the video. Let me see them crying and begging for mercy!"

    However, a fearful voice came from the other end, "Big¡­ Big Master, something bad happened! Housekeeper Lin Heng, he''s been crippled!"

    "What?!" Lin Jiaolong was taken aback, "How¡­ How did that happen?"

    "All of us had our legs broken," the subordinate''s voice was filled with pain.

    Hearing this, Lin Jiaolong roared, "Trash! You''re all a bunch of trash!"

    "Mr. Lin, you should be careful. That guy is aplete madman!"

    "I don''t need your reminders!"

    Lin Jiaolong hung up the phone angrily; he had not expected that the Lin Family''s number one expert, Lin Heng, would be defeated!

    "Damn it! Shit, Qin Jiang, you''ve got some serious luck! It seems I really need to hire a professional assassin to take you down, don''t I? Or perhaps I should ask my elder sister to intervene? The Xiao Family has many experts nurtured in Jinling. Killing him should be easy!"

    Lin Jiaolong''s eyes were filled with fierceness.

    Luo Shifei swallowed nervously, "Jiaolong, this guy is bing more and more dangerous. A few days ago, he dared to attack the Luo Family, which proves he''s a madman!"

    "We must eliminate him immediately!"

    Lin Jiaolong''s eyes were just as dark, "I know..."

    "Bang!"

    As the two were discussing how to deal with Qin Jiang, the door of their room was suddenly kicked open and flew inside! The door panel smashed directly onto the wine table in front of them, the ss shattered, and the crimson wine spilled everywhere!

    This suddenmotion startled them!

    They abruptly looked up...

    And saw a pair of icy eyes.

    "Qin... Qin Jiang?!" Their hearts were terrified, they had not expected Qin Jiang to actuallye knocking on their door!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes were as sharp as des as he walked in step by step. The room was immediately filled with a terrifying murderous aura, like an invisible hand gripping tightly around Luo Shifei''s throats, nearly suffocating them!

    Qin Jiang said, pausing with every word, "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

    Lin Jiaolong yelled fiercely, "Qin Jiang! This is Sir Hu''s territory. You dare to cause trouble here? Sir Hu will definitely tear you to pieces! Do you know what kind of person Sir Hu is!"

    In his panic, he immediately pressed the rm button in the room!

    "Beep beep beep..."

    A series of urgent rm sounds echoed throughout the room!

    Then... Thump thump thump!!

    The ground trembled slightly, and a chaotic, dense sound of footsteps came from the corridor. In the blink of an eye, several burly men blocked the doorwaypletely.

    A powerful and imposing figure walked out from among them.

 Chapter 16: 16: Burial Accompaniment!

    It was indeed Liu Hu!!

    "Sir Hu! Sir Hu... this guy is trying to kill and set fires on your turf! You absolutely can''t let him get away with it! You must punish him properly!"

    "Qin Jiang, you''re done for, you''re fucking dead! Hahaha¡ªshit! I was still thinking about how to off you, but you just walked right into Sir Hu''s..."

    However, the next moment, Lin Jiaolong''s manicughter came to an abrupt halt!

    Because...

    The big shot in their eyes, one of the two Tigers, Liu Tianhu, had actually knelt down with a thud behind Qin Jiang!

    "Lord Qin! All the manpower has been arranged, how do you n to handle these two guys? Just give the word, and Xiaohu will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

    "This... this!"

    This scene turned Luo Shifei''s face deathly pale!

    What''s going on?

    Sir Hu, one of the six bosses of Jiangcheng, was actually kneeling behind Qin Jiang?

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Liu Hu, how have you dealt with people who''ve provoked me in the past?"

    Liu Hu immediately straightened up and bellowed loudly, "Those who provoke Lord Qin either get their limbs broken by me, or... they die!"

    When he looked at Lin Jiaolong and the other with a menacing re, he frightened them so much that their legs went weak.

    Liu Hu''s notoriety was something they had heard of, of course. Even if they were from the Lin Family or the Luo Family, these desperados wouldn''t be afraid of them!

    There was once a young master from a top-tier family who had offended Liu Hu and got beaten into an idiot, and the father of that young master even had to personally apologize to Liu Hu!

    So, when Liu Hu stared at them like that, they felt their scalps tingle.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "The man¡ªbreak three of his legs. The woman¡ªstrip her, take some ''artistic shots,'' knock her out and dump her onto the main street!"

    "Why aren''t you doing as Lord Qin said?" Liu Hu stood up, waving his hand and barked.

    Lin Jiaolong''s legs turned to jelly, and they both knelt down right there, "Sir Hu, please, I beg you, let us off this once! I won''t dare to do it again..."

    Liu Hu said coldly, "Begging me is useless; you shouldn''t have messed with Lord Qin."

    He had witnessed for himself how terrifying Qin Jiang was. Not to mention Qin Jiang''s own strength, just the big shots Qin Jiang knew, any one of them could crush them easily!

    They quickly turned to Qin Jiang, pleading pitifully and desperately, "Qin Jiang, we know we were wrong. Let''s call off our grudges, how about that? We''re willing to paypensation! Any amount! How''s that?"

    "Just enjoy the gift I''m giving you," Qin Jiang sneered, and with a wave of his hand to Liu Hu, he turned and walked away.

    Luo Shifei shouted at Qin Jiang''s retreating figure with clenched teeth and rage, "Qin Jiang, I will make sure you pay for this!"

    But, as soon as the words were out, a few men swiftly captured her, and no matter how wildly she struggled or cried, she couldn''t break free from their grasp...

    Lin Jiaolong tried to escape but was caught by Liu Hu with one hand, and then... a blood-curdling scream echoed, followed by a pool of blood spreading beneath him!

    He fainted from the pain on the spot!

    Liu Hu lit a cigarette and said to his subordinates in a low voice, "Carry out Lord Qin''s orders to the letter!"

    Luo Shifei''s terrified pleas for mercy came from inside the room... Not long after, the two passed out and were dragged out by Liu Hu''s men, thrown into a car, and dumped onto the main street!

    Soon after, members from the Lin and Luo families who received the news hurried over.

    Upon seeing the scene before them, their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets in rage!

    "Bastards! Who did this? I will tear them to shreds!"

    Not only were Lin Jiaolong''s legspletely shattered, but even his manhood was destroyed; he wouldn''t be able to be a man ever again!

    And Luo Shifei had been knocked out, stripped bare, and left on the road, photographed by who knows how many people... Once it got out, how could Luo Shifei ever show her face again?

    The Luo Family was also disgraced!

    "We absolutely cannot let this go!"

    "Exactly! The person responsible for this must pay a heavy price!"

    The members of the Lin and Luo Families, filled with righteous indignation, had eyes brimming with murderous intent.

    "Take them back first!"

    In the Luo Family, Luo Shifei woke up from her groggy state.

    "Ah¡ª" She curled up in terror at the head of the bed, her eyes full of fear and despair, "Don''te over, don''te over!"

    "Shifei, it''s us, ah!"

    "Shifei, don''t be afraid. Tell us who did this? We will surely avenge you!"

    Luo Shifei was trembling with fear, and it took over ten minutes for her to regain herposure. Then, through clenched teeth, she said, "It was Qin Jiang... It was that beast Qin Jiang who instructed Liu Hu to do it. I will kill him!"

    "Qin Jiang!" Upon hearing this name, the people of the Luo Family gnashed their teeth, "It''s him again!"

    "Pass this message to the Lin Family; let''s see how they n to resolve this!"

    The Lin Family mansion.

    Lin Jiaolong was still in aa, lying on the sickbed.

    Next to him, a middle-aged woman and man sat, carefully looking after him, especially the woman who was crying her eyes out.

    The man had a dark expression on his face, with murder scarcely concealed!

    They were Lin Jiaolong''s parents.

    Lin Kai, the head of the Lin Family, and Liuu Jia.

    Lin Kai was seething with fury, his murderous aura chilling, "Qin Jiang, you vile creature! If I do not kill you, this beast, it will not quell the hatred in the heart of this family head!"

    Lin Jiaolong was not only crippled, but his manhood was also destroyed, cutting off the lineage.

    How could he forgive the mastermind?

    Liuu Jia wiped away her tears, her face twisted with bitterness as she screamed, "Kai, we must kill him, we must! Our son has suffered too much... We must avenge him!"

    As a first-ss local family in Jiangcheng, the Lin Family was feared and respected in Jiangcheng! And yet, the young master of the Lin Family had been turned into a cripple. Would they have any face left if this news spread?

    Lin Kai clenched his fists and said, "I will avenge Xiaolong, but that Qin Jiang is now very skilled, and ordinary people simply cannot touch him."

    "We need to find someone who can restrain him, someone who won''t move unless it''s necessary, but once they do, they will kill him on the spot! There will be no second chances!"

    Lin Kai''s tone was cold, as he always disliked doing things without certainty.

    Qin Jiang had not only destroyed Lin Jiaolong''s manhood but also stripped Luo Shifei and threw her into the street, making her theughingstock of Jiangcheng. It had to be said that this act was dozens of times more vicious than killing them!

    How could they calm this hatred if they did not seek revenge?

    Liuu Jia said, "We could ask for a Martial Arts Master to intervene and take down the culprit! I know Jiangcheng''s Martial Arts Master Liu Tianhe, and if he agrees to make a move, Qin Jiang will surely die!"

    Liuu Jia spoke coldly.

    "Grandmaster Liu Tianhe..."

    Upon hearing this name, Lin Kai''s gaze sharply intensified, and he immediately nodded. Liu Tianhe was ranked the third Martial Arts Master in Jiangcheng. His martial prowess was unmatched!

    If he was really willing to lend a hand, Qin Jiang would have no chance of survival...

    He spoke savagely, "I want to kill not only him but also make his family pay with their lives as well!"

 Chapter 17: 17: Take Your Dogs Life!

    Martial Arts Masters were different from the likes of Liu Hu.

    Liu Hu had a multitude of subordinates and a mighty influence, which made his influence terrifying.

    Yet these Martial Arts Masters, who devoted their hearts to martial arts cultivation, though their power was not very formidable, in terms of personalbat strength, they were undoubtedly far superior to Liu Hu!

    "We must contact Master Liu immediately and request Master Liu to suppress this brat, Qin Jiang!"

    This vendetta had to be avenged!

    Soon, Lin Kai managed to get in touch with Liu Tianhe, asking him to take out Qin Jiang.

    Liu Tianhe readily agreed to Lin Kai''s request, but also set forth conditions.

    Thirty million in remuneration.

    An outrageous demand!

    But Lin Kai was helpless and could only agree.

    Where in Jiangcheng now could one find anyone capable of contending with Qin Jiang? Therefore, it was reasonable for Liu Tianhe to exploit the situation.

    Lin Kai had no alternative.

    He wanted to kill Qin Jiang too badly!

    He couldn''t wait a second longer!!!

    At the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall.

    Liu Tianhe sat in the high seat, looking at the many disciples and subordinates below, "Today, I have epted a mission from the Lin Family. The reward is quite substantial."

    Upon these words, a stern look gleamed in everyone''s eyes, showing a bit of eagerness!

    Liu Tianhe spoke indifferently, "The opponent''s strength is decent, you ordinary disciples are certainly no match for him, so there''s no need for you to step up."

    "Zeng Bufan, you go."

    As Liu Tianhe''s words fell, a figure stepped out from the crowd below, "Yes!"

    This person was none other than the second strongest in the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall¡ªZeng Bufan, also a master of Inner Strength, who had practiced martial arts for many years, thus, he had developed a formidable prowess.

    "Once the job is done, I will share the reward with you. Remember, make it clean."

    Zeng Bufan nodded, "Don''t worry, Master. With my strength, there are few in Jiangcheng who can stand against me. You can bepletely at ease!"

    Liu Tianhe nodded, "Of course, I have confidence in you."

    "This time the target is named Qin Jiang. Here is some information about him and his family. Take a good look at it."

    He then tossed a file to Zeng Bufan.

    After taking a brief look, Zeng Bufan sneered, "Just a little brat still wet behind the ears. He''ll be easy to catch!"

    Before the supper hour, Qin Jiang, carrying two bags of meat and vegetables, was rushing home.

    But, as he stood at the door, he found it slightly ajar and eerily quiet inside. Feeling that something was awry, his heart pounded as he pushed the door open!

    "Mmm-mmm-mmm¡ª"

    Qin Sisi, bound to a chair, had a piece of cloth stuffed into her mouth, her tears flowing as she frantically shook her head at Qin Jiang, eyes signaling something behind him.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Just then, a faint whoosh sounded from behind Qin Jiang!

    Sensing the danger, he immediately turned to dodge, as a cold dagger grazed his chest, leaving a faint sensation of pain on his skin!

    "Who are you?"

    "Dead men need not know so much."

    "My task today is to kill you and then send your family down to reunite with you." Zeng Bufan brandished his dagger rapidly, continuing the onught!

    "Swish, swish, swish!!"

    The sharp sounds of the de slicing through air rang out.

    Qin Jiang narrowly dodged each one.

    "Die!"

    Zeng Bufan took a quick step forward, thrusting the dagger straight at Qin Jiang''s chest. At such a close distance, if he had struck, it would have been fatal.

    However...

    Qin Jiang caught his wrist in one move! The hand holding the dagger could no longer move an inch!

    "You!" Zeng Bufan had not anticipated the other''s strength being so formidable!

    Before he could react, Qin Jiang''s fist had already mmed into his chest. His body flung backward, crashing against a wall!

    The sound of breaking bones echoed as he spat out blood, his breath faltering.

    "Why is this happening!"

    As the second strongest in the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall, he couldn''t withstand even two moves from Qin Jiang?

    "Spill your origins, and I''ll leave you a whole corpse." Qin Jiang closed in like the grim reaper!

    In a panic.

    Zeng Bufan darted toward Qin Sisi, intending to take her hostage and threaten Qin Jiang, but Qin Jiang was even faster, kicking him away once again!

    This kick, bursting with inner strength, destroyed his dantian and meridianspletely!

    "Pu¡ª¡ª"

    This time, Zeng Bufan couldn''t stand up anymore; he could only watch helplessly as Qin Jiang approached.

    There was an unprecedented chill in Qin Jiang''s eyes.

    "Tell me, who sent you!"

    Zeng Bufan snorted coldly.

    "If you don''t talk, I''ll investigate myself!" Qin Jiang said coldly, "But first, you can go die!"

    Right then!

    His dagger was about to descend!

    "I''ll talk, I''ll talk!" Zeng Bufan trembled, saying, "It was our master! We are from the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall! The one who ordered your assassination

    was our master!"

    "Liu Family Martial Arts Hall?" Qin Jiang''s eyes narrowed.

    "I''ve told you everything, now, can you let me go?" Zeng Bufan pleaded, but an icy dagger swiftly slid across his throat, killing him with a single move!

    He fell down stiffly¡­

    Qin Sisi turned deathly pale, her pupils contracting with fear.

    Qin Jiang ignored Zeng Bufan and quickly untied Qin Sisi, removing the cloth from her mouth.

    "Brother, you, you''ve killed a man¡­" Qin Sisi gasped heavily, trembling.

    "He came for my life first, and he dared toy a hand on you; he deserved to die!"

    At those words, Qin Sisi was shaken, "But, brother, someone mighte to investigate¡­"

    Qin Jiang said, "It''s a vendetta between martial artists. They have no right to investigate."

    Disputes among martial artists weremon, and they were regted differently than ordinary people, governed by the independent Martial Arts Bureau. As long as it didn''t involve ordinary people, personal grievances could be settled amongst themselves, which was an epted norm.

    Zeng Bufan deserved death for attempting to kill him and his family!

    Afterforting Qin Sisi, Qin Jiang''s gaze became thoroughly grim, and he made a phone call to Shen Longting, "Send a few trustworthy people to my house to clean up."

    "Yes!"

    Understanding the situation, Shen Longting immediately sent people. A little over twenty minutester, several burly men appeared at Qin Jiang''s door, cleaned up swiftly, and left.

    Qin Sisi was still terrified, and Qin Jiang hurriedly soothed her, "Sisi, you don''t need to feel too guilty. People like him are evil incarnate, treating human life as worthless; they deserve to die."

    "If I don''t kill him today, they woulde after us again. If anything happened to you or mom, I would live in guilt for the rest of my life. Better to nip it in the bud."

    "Don''t worry, I''ll handle this matter."

    "Also, trust your big brother, I''m not a demon who kills without blinking."

    Qin Sisi nodded, her face still pale.

    After ensuring Qin Sisi was settled, Qin Jiang stepped outside and lit a cigarette, "The master of the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall? It seems it''s time to meet this fellow."

    It was one thing to send someone to kill him, but to go after his family in his own home crossed the line.

    This vited Qin Jiang''s bottom line!

    Family was his Achilles'' heel!

    Burning with rage, he headed alone to the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall.

    Meanwhile, inside the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall, Liu Tianhe''s face was terrifyingly ashen!

    "The mission failed? Can''t get in touch with Zeng Bufan?"

    His fierce eyes swept over everyone.

    Suddenly, all the members of the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall trembled, fearing to speak.

    The atmosphere grew oppressively tense.

    Liu Tianhe snorted sharply and pped the table, distorting his face with anger. With Zeng Bufan''s assassination attempt failing, killing Qin Jiang next time would be even more difficult, especially since the target was now on guard!

    Unless he took matters into his own hands.

    However, Qin Jiang''s defeat of Zeng Bufan proved that his strength was greater than he had assumed.

    "Useless!"

    "Such a simple task, and you fail. You deserved to die!" Liu Tianhe mmed the table hard, "It seems I really need to personally eliminate this brat."

    All the disciples kept their heads down, not daring to speak. Zeng Bufan was dead; were they supposed to throw their lives away too?

    They weren''t that foolish.

    "Expecting something from you lot is no better than counting on a dog." Liu Tianhe toyed with the Iron Gall in his hand, his eyes shing with two cold light.

    "Disperse. I''ll go over personally in a bit!"

    Before he finished speaking,motion outside the door broke out, and a tall figure strode in, "No need to look for me, I havee to you personally to take your dog''s life!"

 Chapter 18: 18: Stomping a Dogs Head to Pieces!

    "This guy..." The entire Liu Family Martial Arts Hall exploded in an instant!

    Even Liu Tianhe hadn''t expected Qin Jiang to have the audacity to show up now and provoke them?

    Wasn''t this just seeking death?

    Liu Tianhe, the third-ranked Martial Arts Master of Jiangcheng, possessedte-stage Inner Strength and had a pair of iron fists that had ttened all undefeated opponents in Jiangcheng, earning him the nickname Iron Gall.

    For years, countless martial artists had met their demise under his iron fists!

    Who gave this kid the courage to barge in here?

    And even had the gall to say he was after their headmaster''s dog life!

    Liu Tianhe''s gaze turned grim, "Quite audacious to dare im you want my life, I think you''ve grown bored of living!"

    "I was actually looking for you, but I didn''t expect you to fearlesslye knocking on my door! Since you''re here, then stay here forever!" he said.

    Qin Jiang sneered disdainfully, his tone cold, "I came here today to kill you, not to listen to your nonsense."

    "Audacious!" Liu Tianhe immediately threw the iron galls he held in his hands!

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

    The iron galls spun at high speed, like two bombs, flying towards Qin Jiang with terrifying power!

    Qin Jiang slightly tilted his head, easily dodging them.

    The two iron galls sted into the wall like small bombs!

    "Not bad."

    Seeing Qin Jiang dodge the attack, Liu Tianhe narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up from his chair. With a press of his toe, he shot towards Qin Jiang like a cannonball!!

    Thump thump thump!

    As his footstepsnded, he covered several meters in a single step, swift as lightning! The steps thundering against the ground, erupting with a burst of intense noise!

    He clenched his fists like hammers, aiming for Qin Jiang''s head!

    Being in thete-stage of Inner Strength, one punch carried the force of two to three thousand pounds!

    However, Qin Jiang transformed his ten fingers into ws and simply took a step forward!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Facing his onught, Qin Jiang remained expressionless; his hand tore through the punch like a steel w. He then gripped Liu Tianhe''s arm tightly and suddenly unleashed his strength!

    "Break for me!" Along with Qin Jiang''s furious shout, Liu Tianhe''s arms were twisted off violently by Qin Jiang, the pain making him scream out loud!

    Enduring the agony, he bellowed and kicked toward Qin Jiang''s groin!

    "You overestimate yourself!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, swinging his arm and instantly breaking Liu Tianhe''s leg!

    "This is the third-ranked martial artist of Jiangcheng? Not even worth the trash!"

    "Who gave you the courage to harm my family?"

    Qin Jiang scorned, gripping Liu Tianhe''s throat in one hand and lifting him into the air!

    All in the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall were shocked at this moment! Their headmaster was ate-stage Inner Strength expert, the third-ranked martial power of Jiangcheng!

    And he was effortlessly crushed by this kid? This guy was terrifyingly strong!

    Liu Tianhe shivered all over.

    He wanted to beg for mercy, but his throat was tightly sped, unable to utter a single word!

    Qin Jiang threw a punch directly, his Inner Strength rampaging in Liu Tianhe''s abdomen, instantly crippling his martial cultivation, before tossing him to the ground like a dead dog.

    "Speak."

    "Who put you up to this?"

    "I''m sure you wouldn''t try to kill me without a reason! Someone must be behind this, right? If you don''t speak, I will start a massacre at the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall today!"

    "For every minute you dy, I will kill one person!"

    With these words, the entire Liu Family Martial Arts Hall instantly fell into dead silence, their eyes filled with fear, as if being swept by Qin Jiang''s gaze was like being targeted by death itself!

    "I''ll tell you, I''ll tell you!" Liu Tianhe''s innards felt split with fear, as he struggled to speak, "It''s the Lin Family Head, Lin Kai! He paid thirty million for your life from me..."

    The Lin Family!

    Hearing this result, Qin Jiang wasn''t the slightest bit surprised.

    His eyes hardened even more.

    He and the Lin Family were locked in a life-and-death feud, and since they wanted to put him in the ground, it was a lurking threat that had to bepletely eradicated!

    "Spare me... from now on, I''ll be your... dog!" Liu Tianhe eked out the words with difficulty.

    "You''re not even fit to be a dog in my eyes!" Having gotten the information he wanted, Qin Jiang crushed Liu Tianhe''s head with his foot and strode away!

    No one in the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall dared to utter a word, their legs going weak! Only after Qin Jiang had left did they dare to copse weakly on the ground...

    After leaving the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall, Qin Jiang made a phone call to Shen Longting, "Arrange some men for me; tonight, I want topletely eradicate them!"

    As soon as Qin Jiang''s words fell, Shen Longting didn''t hesitate and nodded in agreement, "Master, I will arrange everything immediately."

    "Mm, make the arrangements for tonight," Qin Jiang said coldly, "The Lin Family cannot be left for another moment!"

    First targeting Xu Muge and then sending people after his family, he wanted these people... to pay a blood price!

 Chapter 19: 19: Knocking on the Door, Kill, Kill, Kill!

    Under the night sky.

    Qin Jiang stood in an open space, arms behind his back, his body seething with murderous intent.

    Shen Longting approached respectfully and reported, "Master, the men are ready."

    Qin Jiang looked up indifferently, "Move out!"

    The Lin Family.

    A top-tier n of Jiangcheng.

    Lin Kai was fraught with worry, his body restless. There was still no word from Liu Tianhe, and no one was answering his calls! Could something have happened?

    But Liu Tianhe was the third-ranked expert in Jiangcheng! Could he have failed to handle someone like Qin Jiang?

    The possibility seemed slim!

    Just then!

    "Family Head, someone has broken in!"

    "We can''t stop them at all!"

    Suddenly, several people rushed in from outside, fell to their knees with a thud, their faces filled with terror.

    "Who is it?"

    Upon hearing this, Lin Kai''s heart lurched, and he shouted angrily, "What blind fool dares to make trouble at my Lin Family''s doorstep, seeking death?"

    He was already in a state of agitation, and now someone dared to provoke him?

    They must be tired of living!

    His voice had just faded.

    Suddenly, a barrage of footsteps rapidly approached. A group of men in ck, like ghosts, appeared at the entrance of the Lin Family hall and surged in a momentter.

    They radiated murderous intent, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop significantly. Their knives were still stained with blood, and a strong scent of blood assaulted the senses!

    "What''s going on?" Lin Kai was shocked; hadn''t he maintained a host of guards?

    Had those guards gone off to eat shit?

    "Guards! Guards! We''re under attack! All of you fuckerse out and protect me¡ª"

    Lin Kai, too, was scared out of his wits, yelling madly, but no one responded to his calls.

    Lin Kai''s pupils dted, and his face suddenly turned ashen!

    "Lin Family Head, stop shouting. Nobody''s going to save your sorry life today," a deep voice suddenly came from the entrance. A tall figure stepped into the Lin Family hall, standing with arms behind his back, wearing a mask, his eyes shimmering with cold gleam.

    "Are you Qin Jiang?" Lin Kai''s legs shook with fear.

    Qin Jiang smiled slightly, "Not too stupid. I''vee to the Lin Family tonight especially to take your life, as rpense forying hands on my friends and family."

    Lin Kai turned deathly pale, trembling with fear, "Qin Jiang, I have money, loads of money... I''m willing to pay for my life, any amount!"

    He could tell that the men Qin Jiang had brought were terrifyingly strong; the Lin Family guards were no match for them! Without yielding, there was only the path to death...

    Qin Jiang''s tone was icy, "You can''t buy your way out."

    "Kill¡ª"

    At hismand, those men in ck rushed forward like a whirlwind.

    Lin Kai tried to run, scrambling and rolling, but after just two steps, his head was chopped off!

    The severed head soared through the air and rolled on the ground. His eyes, which remained wide open with fear and resentment, until the very end.

    Qin Jiang walked over, kicked his head away violently, and proceeded inside! Killing Lin Kai was not enough; everyone who had touched his family deserved death!

    The ce was as silent as death!

    All the Lin Family''s servants, n members, and such were too scared to make a sound...

    Their Family Head, Lin Kai, had just been killed like that!

    It seemed Qin Jiang wasn''t ready to call it quits yet.

    Soon, with several screams echoing out, Qin Jiang finally emerged from inside.

    His dagger was still smeared with blood.

    "Gulp!" Everyone held their breath tightly, not even daring to breathe loudly.

    Qin Jiang swept his cold gaze over the people of the Lin Family.

    "The fact that they died here tonight must not be leaked. Dere to the outside world that it was an idental death. Otherwise, if the news leaks... bear the consequences yourselves!"

    Those people nodded their heads with pale faces.

    Even if they were foolish, they now understood that the opponent was not someone they could contend with. To defy him, wouldn''t that be asking for death?

    This time, the Lin Family had offended a powerful existence they could not afford to provoke!

    Qin Jiang was also somewhat shocked; the elite soldiers and diehard fighters secretly trained by Shen Longting were even stronger than he had imagined! This was a force capable of contending with the major powers of Jiangcheng!

    Those so-called six major forces,pared to him, were not worth mentioning...

    After dealing with them, Qin Jiang immediately stepped away and left.

    The next day.

    The news of Lin Family Head Lin Kai''s life and death spread like wildfire through the upper echelons of society, leaving many curious as to who exactly the Lin Family had provoked!

    However, the people of the Lin Family avoided mentioning it altogether.

    Upon learning of Lin Jiaolong and Lin Kai''s deaths, Luo Shifei trembled all over.

    Could it be, Qin Jiang?

    She wasn''t sure.

    But it was indeed a possibility! With Lin Jiaolong dead, what support did she have left?

    She also feared that he woulde to kill her!

    Now, the Luo Family was greatly weakened, steeped in the stench of death, on the verge of bankruptcy!

    Under the oppression of this pressure, she was nearly driven mad!

    Luo Shifei was filled with regret in her heart! Why had she provoked Qin Jiang?

    "Qin Jiang, you damn loser, why didn''t you die in prison?"

    She ground her teeth in anger.

    Qin Jiang!

    You should have died in prison!

    Luo Shifei''s eyes suddenly brightened as she remembered someone, "That''s right! Jiaolong once said he had an elder sister who married into a great family in Jinling City! If I can get in touch with her, maybe I can be saved!!"

    Now, this was the only way to deal with Qin Jiang! There was no other option...

    "Qin Jiang! Just wait for your death! When that person from the Lin Familyes back, you''re done for..."

    Murderous intent thickened in her eyes.

    The next day.

    The Lin Family!

    The entire Lin Family mansion was draped in white mourning cloths, cries of grief echoed constantly, and it was at this moment that a ck luxury car appeared within the Lin Family estate.

    Inside the car sat a young woman, her beauty tinged with a touch of fierceness; she stared vacantly at a photo in her hand, her eyes reflecting profound sorrow.

    "Qin Jiang... you dared to kill my parents and brother, I will make you pay with your blood for this blood debt!"

    She suddenly clenched the photo in her hand, her grief turning into towering hatred.

    Lin Qingxuan stepped out of the car.

    A group of guards exuding a fearsome aura followed closely behind her!

    Upon seeing Lin Qingxuan, everyone was ovee with excitement, shouting tearfully,

    "Miss!"

    The miss was back!

    The disgrace of their Lin Family could finally be washed away! That arrogant person must die!

    For the Lin Family, a first-rate n, their Family Head had died mysteriously, and they couldn''t even muster a protest¡ªwhat a colossal shame!

    "Thump!"

    "Thump!"

    One by one, figures knelt down, weeping bitterly.

    "Miss Qingxuan, you''ve finally returned! Our Lin Family has hope now! Those viins were too arrogant, they killed all of our Lin Family''s guards, we could only watch helplessly as those murderers took away the Family Head and the others..."

    "It''s just too heartbreaking, too humiliating!"

    "Miss Qingxuan, you must avenge the Family Head and Master Jiaolong!"

 Chapter 20: 20: How do you want to die?

    The appearance of Lin Qingxuan brought a glimpse of hope into the eyes of the Lin Family members present.

    Last night, the power Qin Jiang had disyed was too terrifying, and they were far from being his match; they could only watch helplessly as Qin Jiang ran rampant through the Lin Family.

    Massacring right before their very eyes!

    However, Lin Qingxuan was different, as she was now a member of the Xiao Family in Jinling City.

    Moreover, her husband Xiao Longhai was the top heir to the Xiao Family. As the youngdy of the family, Lin Qingxuan held a notable position and naturally had the ability to resist Qin Jiang.

    Now, she had returned.

    Qin Jiang was doomed!!!

    With Lin Qingxuan''s personality, she would definitely make Qin Jiang pay a painful price.

    After all, the three men of the Lin Jiaolong father and son had fallen to Qin Jiang; Lin Qingxuan''s rtives were all dead. Given Lin Qingxuan''s vindictive nature, she would certainly not let the matter rest!

    Lin Qingxuan''s face was somber as she walked step by step toward the memorial hall. When she saw the coffin and the three portraits at the hall, she couldn''t help her eyes tearing up, and with a sound of "plop," she knelt down.

    "Dad, Mom, Jiaolong, I''m back!"

    "Rest assured, I will avenge you! I will not let Qin Jiang off the hook just like that!"

    Just then, another young woman entered from outside, and it was indeed Luo Shifei.

    Luo Shifei also had a sorrowful expression, came up to Lin Qingxuan''s side, andforted her by saying, "Sister Lin, please restrain your grief."

    Lin Qingxuan nced at Luo Shifei and asked indifferently, "Are you the fianc¨¦e of my brother?"

    "Yes!"

    Luo Shifei nodded, "I am also very saddened by the demise of Jiaolong and his parents, but now that it has happened, talking about it is pointless. What we can do now is to seek vengeance."

    "No matter what, Qin Jiang must die!"

    Lin Qingxuan looked coldly at Luo Shifei and said indifferently, "If I remember correctly, you know that Qin Jiang fellow, right? Even more so, the reason our Lin Family ended up at odds with Qin Jiang isrgely because of you, am I right?"

    Luo Shifei nodded her head bravely as her eyes suddenly reddened, "It''s all my fault..."

    Lin Qingxuan couldn''t be bothered with her pretense and spoke sharply, "Stop pretending, let''s talk about the important matter. Since you called me to tell me that Jiaolong and the others had an ident, you must know I have the ability to resolve this."

    "You should have Qin Jiang''s information, right?"

    "Yes." Luo Shifei directly took out a stack of documents, all about Qin Jiang.

    Lin Qingxuan, with a cold expression, took the documents and after carefully examining them, suddenly clenched the papers in her hand, revealing an intense killing intent in her eyes!

    "Immediately go and capture his mother and that crippled sister for me! Alive! If you cannot handle this matter,e back with your heads!"

    "Yes!"

    The martial artists behind Lin Qingxuan immediately nodded.

    Twenty minutester.

    The Qin Family.

    A group of unwee visitors barged in, knocked out the still panicked Wen Wenling and Qin Sisi, and abducted them!

    But they had barely left the neighborhood when they were stopped by several men.

    "Our master has ordered, whoever dares touch them, dies." A cold light shone in these men''s eyes.

    They were arranged by Shen Longting, and were death soldiers privately trained by him. Now, on Qin Jiang''smand, they came to protect Qin Sisi and her mother.

    Because of the lesson learned from the past, Qin Jiang was afraid that Wen Wenling and her daughter would get hurt, which is why he had someone guard them here.

    "Ourdy ordered us to take them back. Those who stand in the way, die!" several martial artists sent by Lin Qingxuan coldly shouted.

    Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, both sides immediately erupted into fiercebat. After a dozen seconds, those several devoted fightersy in pools of blood, gasping theirst breaths.

    The people sent by Lin Qingxuan immediately took the mother and daughter, got into a vehicle, and left the area.

    Meanwhile, in the midst of the bloodbath, one of the dying warriors struggled to open his eyes and dialed Shen Longting''s number...

    In Jiangcheng, at the Flying Tiger Club, on the top floor, within a dim and enclosed room!

    "Wake them up!" Looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, Lin Qingxuan ordered coldly.

    Two subordinates immediately carried two basins of ice water and poured them directly over their heads!

    "Ssh¡ª"

    The unconscious Wen Wenling and her daughter, after being doused with the ice water, immediately shivered and woke from their stupor.

    Seeing the woman in front of them with a murderous look on her face, they were shocked and asked, "Who are you? How did I end up here?"

    Lin Qingxuan said, "My name is Lin Qingxuan. Qin Jiang killed my family members, and now, I want him to feel my pain! I look forward to him appearing here in ten minutes, or else, you will die."

    "I wonder, will your blood flow faster, or will he arrive sooner?"

    She revealed a cruel, yful sneer and took out Wen Wenling''s phone, then, she was ready to call Qin Jiang.

    But, at this moment, a rush of urgent reporting came from outside the door, "Madam, that kid... he''s broken into the Flying Tiger Club!"

    Hearing this, Lin Qingxuan''s eyes shed.

    She hadn''t expected Qin Jiang to find this ce so quickly, which conveniently saved her some effort.

    "Since that''s the case, then it''s time to let your blood flow. I hope you can hold on, and let that kid watch as you struggle at death''s door yet are powerless to help! Hahahaha¡ª"

    With those words, she waved her hand!

    Several men approached.

    Sharp des, sliced across the wrists and feet of Wen Wenling and her daughter! Blood gushed out frantically, and the intense pain made their expressions twist in agony!

    Lin Qingxuan took a seat on a chair.

    Her expression mocking, she said, "Don''t worry, you''ll see him soon. I haveid a snare here, today, you all will die!"

    "There are three levels of security here. The first level, houses more than a dozen heavyweight boxers, strong and capable of killing a grown adult with one punch!"

    No sooner had she finished speaking than her phone rang, "Madam, no... something''s wrong! That guy has stormed in! He''s a madman... The first level is wiped out..."

    The person on the other end hadn''t finished speaking when a scream erupted, cutting off everything abruptly!

    Lin Qingxuan''s face changed dramatically, and then she sneered coldly, "So what if he broke through the first level? On the second level, I have arranged five gunmen. They''ve got firearms; a single shot is lethal! However strong Qin Jiang is, surely he''s no match for a handgun, right?"

    "The third level, here, are martial artists with inner strength at the intermediate stage or above. Thinking of saving someone from their hands is pure fantasy!"

    "But... I guess that guy, Qin Jiang, won''t even be able to handle my gunmen, and will ultimately end up beaten half to death and delivered right in front of me..."

    "Really? Too bad, you are disappointed!"

    As an icy voice fell, the room''s heavy alloy door was kicked open!

    Qin Jiang entered the room, carrying a dead body, radiating an air of death, his eyes bloodshot, still breathing heavily.

    "Today, how do you wish to die?!"

 Chapter 21: 21 Annihilation! Your Turn!

    Lin Qingxuan was stunned; his two lines of defense had been breached by Qin Jiang so quickly?

    "Qin Yan!"

    "Brother..."

    Wen Wenling and Qin Sisi, seeing Qin Jiang burst in, immediately trembled in their hearts!

    The pale-faced Lin Qingxuan,ing to his senses, screamed out loud, "Attack, take him down for me, I want to personally deal with this guy!"

    The chilling voice fell, and the several powerhouses behind Lin Qingxuan immediately locked onto Qin Jiang''s body, like hungry wolves, and then sprung forward like coiled springs!

    Only one elder continued to stand with arms behind his back, looking at Qin Jiang with a disdainful expression.

    "Swish, swish, swish!"

    Their toes hit the ground, instantly bursting forth with formidable strength, approaching Qin Jiang like lightning, attacking from all angles, their dense onughtpletely encircling him!

    However, Qin Jiang didn''t retreat but advanced, directly stepping forward to charge at them!

    "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh¡ª¡ª"

    The dagger in his hand cut through the air, bringing up a streak of blood-stained cold light.

    Every glint of the dagger made the martial artists'' eyes grow solemn, recognizing that Qin Jiang''s strength was far above their own!

    The arcs swung by his dagger directly sealed off their attack routes; if they forced their way through this defense, their arms and throats would be severed by the dagger in Qin Jiang''s hand!

    Helplessly, they had to dodge and temporarily defend.

    "A bunch of trash!"

    Qin Jiang''s expression was indifferent. At that moment, he directly targeted the weakness of one of them and kicked him in the abdomen!

    "Ah¡ª¡ª"

    The man screamed in agony as his breastbone was shattered by the kick, his internal organs pulverized by the impact of the Inner Strength, and he fell dead on the spot!

    "This!"

    The martial artists were all shocked; they had not expected Qin Jiang to be so ruthless, a harshness that matched even the old hands at this game, with lethal moves aiming to kill.

    In an instant, one of theirrades was in!

    "Do not hold back!"

    The elder scolded coldly, but as soon as his words fell, Qin Jiang''s fist had already exploded another martial artist''s head, killing another!

    The remaining individuals all felt a chill crawling on their scalps.

    But they had no room to retreat and had to steel themselves to charge forward with their weapons! In such a confined space, could they not take down a single man with their numbers?

    Qin Jiang''s True Qi burst forth throughout his body, his strong aura infused with killing intent swirling around like a god of ughter, rushing into their midst!

    "Swish! Swish! Swish!"

    His dagger moved with precision, each strike aiming for these fellows'' vital spots, using hands and feet together, turning every part of his body into the toughest weapon!

    These martial artists felt dread at his suicidal fighting style¡ªtheir blows could indeednd on Qin Jiang.

    But while this would injure Qin Jiang, they would die!

    Facing such a desperate madman, what could they do but try to dodge his edge temporarily?

    However, just as they gave ground, Qin Jiang''s body instantly bounced up, channeling the power of his entire body into his shoulder, and with a sudden tremor, his True Qinded forcibly on the chest of one of the martial artists.

    Hit by such a blow, the martial artist felt as if a mountain had struck him, flying back to hit the wall, sticking to it and coughing up fresh blood, falling dead on the spot!

    "Three down!"

    After taking down another martial artist, Qin Jiang felt much more at ease; the few remaining posed no real threat to him!

    "Swish¡ª¡ª"

    Taking advantage of their shock and fear, Qin Jiang swung his dagger, one man''s throat sliced open. He clutched his chilling throat, stepping back in retreat until he copsed to the ground without strength...

    "Four down!"

    The voice of Qin Jiang, like a reaper hastening death, echoed.

    Lin Qingxuan waspletely stunned by the scene before her; the group of martial artists she had brought, all at least at the intermediate level of Inner Strength, yet so easily defeated?

    "Five down!"

    "Six!"

    Following that, Qin Jiang swept through the remaining martial artists like a whirlwind.

    Those martial artists either had their heads crushed or their chests caved in!

    Dead before their time.

    It was so fast that Lin Qingxuan hadn''t even reacted!

    "Dammit!"

    Lin Qingxuan''s face turned extremely grim¡ªher people had been counter-killed this quickly?

    Fear finally appeared in her eyes.

    "Boy, prepare to die!"

    Elder Zhang bellowed, his legs bent slightly as he shot out like a coiled spring. His arms opened wide, like a crane spreading its wings, charging with murderous intent that focused into a line aiming straight for Qin Jiang!

    Not only was he a martial artist at the peak of Inner Strength, but he was also a master of Xingyi Quan! The number of martial artists who had perished under his hands was no less than eighty, if not a hundred. umting vastbat experience over many years, he was invincible below the level of Transformation Realm Grandmasters!

    He was like a fearsome great crane with murderous aura, his fingers transforming into sharp ws, pursuing Qin Jiang''s head.

    Qin Jiang raised his palm, with True Qi gathering on it!

    Thud!

    A muffled sound echoed.

    Elder Zhang felt an intense pain in the fingers that struck Qin Jiang''s hand, as if he had mmed into a steel te! It was inconceivable to him¡ªhis attack was powerful enough to prate a one-centimeter-thick steel te!

    Qin Jiang had actually blocked it with one hand?

    Before he could react, Qin Jiang took advantage of this moment and smashed his fist over.

    He hurriedly moved his arm to block!

    "Crack!"

    Arm bone fractured!

    The pain was unbearable!

    Qin Jiang''s attacks came one after another!

    The barrage of strikes, like a thunderous downpour, injured Elder Zhang''s arms and chest with iron fists, pushing his body backward until, atst, a punch sent him flying out, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood!

    "You¡ª"

    Elder Zhang red furiously, watching helplessly as a dagger flew towards him, piercing directly through his chest and pinning him to the wall!

    One-sided domination!

    A chill ran up from Lin Qingxuan''s feet, shooting up to the top of her head!

    Her face was filled with disbelief.

    The strong individuals she had brought¡ªwere they really all dead?

    "Hu! Hu!"

    The breath she exhaled was searing hot, her eyes filled with fear.

    Qin Jiang''s icy gazended on her, and without a second thought, she turned and fled.

    But, several silver needles shot out!

    "Ah¡ª"

    Lin Qingxuan screamed as she copsed to the ground. Her knees had been pierced on the spot, and the Inner Strength carried by the needles had injured her, leaving her incapable of moving!

    Qin Jiang paid her no mind and instead went to Wen Wenling and another, beginning to stop their bleeding and rescue them.

    Luckily, although they had lost quite a bit of blood, their lives were not in danger.

    After using acupressure to stop their bleeding, Qin Jiang finally let out a sigh of relief. His gaze then turned to Lin Qingxuan, who was struggling, crawling away like a reptile.

    Feeling his gaze on her, Lin Qingxuan felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse, her body turning cold.

    "It''s your turn."

    Qin Jiang stepped forward.

 Chapter 22: 22: Die in Agony! Despicable Attitude!

    ```

    "You, don''te any closer!"

    Lin Qingxuan screamed in terror.

    Qin Jiang stepped closer to her, "The moment youid hands on my family, you should''ve known what kind of fate you were facing!"

    His tone was chilling beyond measure.

    Lin Qingxuan said, "If you dare touch me, my husband will never let you go."

    The murderous intent in Qin Jiang''s eyes boiled over, "Then I''ll just kill him, too."

    The Qin Jiang of now hadpletely abandoned thest shred of mercy for these people!

    Eradicate the roots and prevent evesting trouble!

    For people like them, if you let them off once, what you will face is their crazy retaliation, don''t expect them to stop there!

    So, it''s either you die or I live, that''s the ultimate oue.

    Panicking, Lin Qingxuan fumbled for her phone and dialed her husband''s number.

    "Husband, save me! Help me... This maniac, he''s going to kill me!"

    Lin Qingxuan''s voice trembled, fear spreading to every corner of her body.

    The Xiao Family.

    It was considered a second-tier family in Jinling City.

    Though not top-tier in Jinling, if set in Jiangcheng, they were definitely a colossal force that could crush countless families, with power that could make one''s heart tremble!

    "Who dares to harm my wife?"

    Xiao Zhenghai was furious, "Wife, where are you? I''ming to save you right now!"

    Lin Qingxuan had returned to Jiangcheng to take care of some family matters, and to prevent idents, he had sent so many strong individuals from his family over, and yet Lin Qingxuan had still met with a major cmity?

    What happened?

    After all, Lin Qingxuan was under the protection of Elder Zhang, a peak practitioner of Inner Strength!

    In Jinling, such strength counted him among the experts.

    A mere Jiangcheng, and there was someone capable of taking down someone like Elder Zhang?

    Before Lin Qingxuan could even speak, her hand was already crushed under Qin Jiang''s foot!

    And then... he brutally trampled on it.

    "Ah!" She screamed non-stop, her entire palm bing a bloody mess!

    Qin Jiang''s expression was cold as he picked up the phone, "She''s in my hands, and I''m not going to politely decline taking her life."

    "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Dare to harm my wife, and your entire family will be exterminated!"

    "I am Xiao Zhenghai of the Xiao Family in Jinling! The Master of the Xiao Family, the future heir!"

    "Let go of my wife now, and maybe, you might just have a way to live... otherwise, death!"

    These words made Qin Jiang scoff, "Idiot."

    He hung up the phone directly.

    After crushing the phone, Qin Jiang grabbed Lin Qingxuan by the hair, his gaze icy cold!

    "Your brother and your father wanted to kill me! They''ll die because they deserve it!"

    "You harmed my family, you deserve to die! But, I won''t let you die that easily."

    Having said that, several silver needles appeared in Qin Jiang''s hand!

    "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

    The merciless needles pierced into Lin Qingxuan''s body''s acupoints.

    Soon, Lin Qingxuan''s face twisted, intense pain spreading inside her, her body bing devoid of strength, and before long, she copsed onto the ground, writhing in agony, with painful noisesing from her mouth!

    Gradually, blood seeped from every pore on her body, and from her seven orifices, blood rolled out... Her piercing screams were chilling to the bone!

    "Jiang..." Wen Wenling''s weak voice came through.

    Qin Jiang hurried over, helped up the mother and daughter, and then left the ce.

    "Mom, Sisi, you''ve lost too much blood, you must get a transfusion immediately, I''m taking you to the hospital."

    ```

    Just as Qin Jiang was about to make a call, Shen Longting had already called, "Master! I am already downstairs! Do you need me to bring people up and kill them?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head, "No need, I have already dealt with these people! Right now, the urgent matter is to take my mother to the hospital for a blood transfusion."

    "Alright!" Shen Longting nodded.

    Qin Jiang helped Wen Wenling and Qin Sisi down the stairs.

    Shen Longting and a group of people were already waiting downstairs, and when they saw Qin Jianging down, they hurried forward to support Wen Wenling and the others, helping them into the car.

    Shen Longting whispered, "Master, how should we handle the situation upstairs?"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "In just half an hour, Lin Qingxuan will be tormented to death, bleeding from seven orifices! When the timees, you go up and clean it up without leaving any traces!"

    "By the way..." Qin Jiang said coldly, "That woman''s husband is from the Xiao Family of Jinling City and has even threatened to kill me. How shall we resolve this matter?"

    Shen Longting replied, "My influence doesn''t reach Jinling City, but there is someone who can handle it."

    "Who?" Qin Jiang asked.

    "Old Ghost Xu," Shen Longting said, "He is also one of Master''s trained subordinates. He is one of the overlords of Jinling City and has considerable clout there. If I remember correctly, the Xiao Family is just a second-rate family in Jinling City, his face should be enough."

    Qin Jiang was slightly stunned, not expecting the Crazy Old Man''s background to be even more terrifying than he thought! The Old Man had even ced pieces in Jinling City, the capital of Jiangnan Province!

    And the power of this particr piece seemed not insignificant.

    Suppressing the shock in his heart, Qin Jiang said coldly, "Have him warn Xiao Zhenghai of the Xiao Family."

    "I don''t wish to bother with the Xiao Family over this matter, but, if they truly seek trouble with me!" Qin Jiang continued.

    "Anyone rted to this incident, kill without mercy!"

    "Understood!" Shen Longting nodded.

    "Let''s go, take my mother to the hospital first."

    Shen Longting drove them straight to the hospital, with Qin Jiang supporting the two weak women as they walked inside.

    "Master, I need to use the restroom for a moment," Shen Longting said somewhat embarrassedly.

    "Go ahead."

    Shen Longting hurriedly left.

    Immediately after, Qin Jiang led Wen Wenling and the others to the service window to queue up.

    At this the emergency service window, there were also seven or eight people waiting in front of them. Despite feeling sympathy for his pale mother and sister, Qin Jiang still patiently queued up.

    Ten minutester, it was finally Qin Jiang''s turn. He approached the service window, "Hello, I have two patients here who need an immediate blood transfusion, please help arrange for bed space."

    At the window sat a young woman, who was fairly attractive, with thin lips and a lean figure. When she lifted her gaze, it conveyed a sense of indifference and even harshness.

    "Off duty!"

    She pped her files impatiently onto the countertop!

    There was still half an hour left before closing time.

    Qin Jiang, holding back his irritation, spoke patiently, "Doctor, the situation here is a bit urgent..."

    "Urgent, urgent, urgent, your mom''s urgent! It''s none of my damn business if they die. Am I not allowed to want to clock out early today because I''m in a bad mood?" Zhou Shumin red at Qin Jiang with haughtiness, "Scram!"

    Qin Jiang frowned and spoke without further courtesy, "Is this your work attitude? Aren''t you afraid I''llin about you?"

    "Heh! Comin about me? Do you know who my dad is? You think you canin about me? I''ve seen plenty of your type, bumpkins; do I look scared?" Zhou Shumin scoffed disdainfully.

    Right then, a middle-aged couple hurried over from behind Qin Jiang.

    "Move, move! Get out of the way!"

    "Don''t block the path!"

    This couple, with a child in tow, pushed through to the front of the line, making their way to the window.

    "Out of the way¡ª"

    "What lowlifes, move it, if you dy my precious child''s treatment, I won''t let you off!"

    The stout woman yelled, shoving Qin Jiang aside and using her body to squeeze past the frail Wen Wenling, causing Wen to stumble and fall to the ground!

 Chapter 23: 23 The Mayor is Here!

    "Miss Zhou, our baby hurt his finger, there''s blood, please arrange a bed for us right away! We cannot dy this!"

    Upon seeing the visitors, Zhou Shumin''s attitude changed into a fawning one, "Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, it''s you! Don''t worry, I''ll take care of it immediately!"

    Qin Jiang''s face turned cold.

    "What do you mean by this?"

    He asked icily.

    Zhou Shumin sneered and nced at Qin Jiang, "What do we mean, can''t you figure it out by yourself? Move aside, don''t block Mr. Zhang''s way!"

    Qin Jiang''s gaze grew icier, "I was in line first, you said you were off work and even said you wouldn''t arrange a bed for my family member even if I begged! Now, you arrange a bed for someone jumping the queue! You trash, are you even worthy of being a doctor here?"

    Zhou Shumin snorted, "Why don''t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you canpare to Mr. Zhang?"

    Zhang Haoqiang looked at Qin Jiang with disdain, "Young man, better work hard and improve yourself. Look at you, with no money, no connections, what can you use topete with me?"

    "I don''t even bother with you!"

    "It''s not your ce to talk." Qin Jiang pped him across the face!

    "Smack¡ª¡ª"

    The p, fueled by rage, made him unsteady on his feet, his cheek swelling and turning red, the pain searing, his teeth bared in a grimace of agony and disgrace!

    "This woman pushed my mother down, and I haven''t even settled things with you. What are you yapping about?"

    "Scoundrel!"

    Zhang Haoqiang roared in anger, "You''re looking for death!"

    "Smack!"

    "Smack!"

    Qin Jiang, striking with both hands, pped him to the ground!

    "You have one chance, apologize!"

    "You brat, dare to hit my husband, you are asking for death!" Mrs. Zhang, with her plump body, lunged at Qin Jiang, her ws outstretched aiming for his neck!

    Qin Jiang kicked her over effortlessly, her screams of pain filled the air. But with a face fierce and undeterred, she threw herself at Wen Wenling and her daughter, "You damn old hag, I''ll strangle you lowly dogs to death!"

    Seeing the harridan daring toy hands on his mother, Qin Jiang raged, delivering a kick right to her knee, forcing her to kneel with a thud!

    The crowd, witnessing the scene, all cheered inwardly!

    They had seen everything, how the couple cut in line, pushed people, and instead of apologizing afterward, they were bullying and unreasonable!

    Well deserved!

    "Damn it, dare toy hands on us, you''re doomed!" Zhang Haoqiang spit out a mouthful of blood as he got up from the ground and cursed at Qin Jiang, "Dare to mess with me! Once you step outside the hospital, I''ll make sure you have no ce to be buried!"

    Qin Jiang chuckled coldly, "Really? I''d like to see if you have the ability!"

    Zhou Shumin shouted angrily, "What are you doing! Are you looking for death? Do you know who Mr. Zhang is!"

    Qin Jiang replied coldly, "Say it, make meugh."

    "Mr. Zhang is the vice-chairman of our Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce!"

    "His worth is over a billion!"

    "He has powerful connections!"

    "If you hit him, once you leave this hospital, you''re finished!"

    "Oh." Qin Jiang said indifferently, then suddenly pped Zhou Shumin across the face!

    The p sent Zhou Shumin crashing into the wall with a soft groan.

    "Sorry, I forgot to hit you just now, now, I''m giving this p back to you!"

    "Hiss¡ª¡ª"

    The crowd gasped, amazed by the young man''s audacity. He dared to offend an important figure of themerce association and even to hit a doctor!

    One word... Wild!

    They themselves would never dare to.

    This is a hospital after all!

    We''re on someone else''s turf!

    Wen Wenling tugged at Qin Jiang''s sleeve, "Forget it, Qin Jiang."

    She had just seen Qin Jiang in a rage, wiping out that entire group in seconds; his fiery temper, just like his father''s back in the day¡­ If he made too much of a scene here, that would be trouble.

    Qin Jiang said, "Mom, don''t worry, I know what I''m doing!"

    Zhou Shuminpletely lost it, her eyes filled with resentful venom, "You damn loser, I''ll make you regret this!"

    "My dad is the head of the hospital!"

    "You dare hit me?"

    "Hit you? If it weren''t for the crowd here, I''d dare to kill you, you bitch!" Qin Jiang kicked her in the stomach, bending her over in pain like a shrimp!

    "People like you are a disgrace and don''t deserve to be doctors!!"

    This woman had no sense of professional ethics at all. Even if she wasn''t expected to have great medical morals, she should at least have the most basic professional integrity! Continuing to work in this position would just be harming others!

    "Fine, fine, fine, I''m going to have my dad bring people over right now! I''ll break your legs and make you kneel and beg for mercy in front of me!" Zhou Shumin screamed hysterically.

    Qin Jiang coldly said, "Whatever! Hurry up and bring him here, I want an exnation!"

    Zhou Shumin immediately made a call.

    Within two to three minutes, a middle-aged man arrived swiftly with a few security guards holding batons, "Who dares to bully my daughter Zhou Liao!"

    "Dad!"

    Zhou Shumin suddenly felt extremely wronged and burst into tears, "It''s him!"

    Seeing his daughter in such a state, Zhou Liao trembled with rage andmanded angrily, "Get rid of him!"

    The security guards hesitated for a moment but still encircled Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang coldly asked, "Aren''t you going to ask what happened?"

    "No need!" Zhou Liao snorted coldly, "You hurt my daughter, no matter the reason! Disable him first! And remember, this is a hospital, I, Zhou Liao, have a say here!"

    "Even if I disabled you, you''d deserve it for messing with Director Zhou!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "As expected, a crooked beam makes a crooked rafter. Since that''s the case, there''s no need for me to waste words with you."

    These people were clearly unreasonable, and his patience was gone. He dealt with them quickly, wanting someone in charge toe talk to him.

    Zhang Haoqiang also said, "Director Zhou, you absolutely can''t let this guy off the hook, he even dared to hit me!"

    Only then did Zhou Liao notice the presence of the Zhang family couple and eagerly tried to please, "Mr. Zhang, you''re here too? It seems this guy really is out of control. We can''t just break his legs¡ªwe need to send him to prison to teach him a lesson!"

    "Deal with him!" Zhou Liao gestured, and the security guards charged forward.

    Qin Jiang struck with precision and ruthlessness, quickly taking down several security guards who lost their ability to fight. However, he had restrained himself since they were only following orders.

    "You¡ª"

    Zhou Liao and his group fiercely twitched, not expecting Qin Jiang to be able to fight.

    Qin Jiang strode towards Zhou Liao!

    "What do you think you''re doing?" Zhou Liao growled threateningly, "This is a hospital! I''m the head of the hospital! If you dare touch me, you''re going down for it!"

    Qin Jiang lifted him by the neck!

    "Just a director, and you dare to act so recklessly? Have your deane speak to me!"

    Zhou Liao''s face turned an ashen blue as he struggled, feeling like he was about to suffocate to death!

    Just then, a group of people appeared behind them.

    An elderly man about fifty years old led a group of core hospital members, all respectfully following behind a middle-aged man, exining everything about the hospital.

    "What''s going on up ahead?" Zhang Haosheng noticed themotion and his expression suddenly darkened.

    The hospital dean''s heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, I''ll go check it out right away!"

    The dean was extremely anxious.

    It was rare for the city''s head to visit, and he was keen to show off the hospital, but now, such an incident had urred!

    He approached quickly, filled with anger, "What happened here? What''s causing such a ruckus!"

 Chapter 24: 24 I Just Love Pushing the Envelope!

    Seeing the deane over in person, Zhou Liao seemed to have seen a savior, making whimpering noises.

    Zhou Shumin started crying loudly even more.

    "Dean, this guy ispletelywless, so rude to us noble medical staff and even hitting people, it''s unforgivable!"

    She was so aggrieved that tears fell from her eyes.

    Hearing this, the dean''s face turned even uglier, "Young man, what you are doing is illegal, do you know that? Let him go!"

    Qin Jiang then released Zhou Liao, tossing him aside like a dead dog, and said indifferently, "As the dean, are you also going to be blindly partial?"

    Upon hearing this, Dean Liu Deming was also taken aback and asked coldly, "Tell me the whole story!"

    Zhou Shumin hesitated and finally said through gritted teeth, "He was cutting in line and I caught him. I only scolded him a bit, and he just started to hit me..."

    Hearing this, the dean became even more furious.

    Qin Jiang, however, said indifferently, "The truth is she hasn''t been doing her job in this position."

    "She was rude to me!"

    "Threatened not to process my family''s hospital admission!"

    "Allowed others to cut in line!"

    Both sides stuck to their guns, immediately causing the dean''s face to turn ashen.

    "The young man is right!" A middle-aged woman stood out from the crowd, backing Qin Jiang.

    "Zhou Shumin!" the dean burst out thunderously, "How dare you!"

    Startled by this outburst, Zhou Shumin trembled.

    "Apologize!" Without another word, the deanmanded Zhou Shumin, "Now."

    Even though Zhou Shumin was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to lower her head and say to Qin Jiang, "I''m sorry."

    "Not enough!"

    Qin Jiang shook his head, "An apology, and you think that''s it?"

    The dean, trying to hold back his anger, said, "Young man, don''t be unreasonable, that should be enough."

    He just wanted to resolve the issue immediately.

    After all, the city leader was still paying attention to this matter. He didn''t expect this young man to be so upromising!

    "I said, not enough!" Qin Jiang said coldly, "Does this hospital allow such scum to harm patients here? Without medical ethics, they do not deserve to be doctors!"

    The dean admonished, "This is my hospital''s affair, it''s not your ce to point fingers. I advise you to stop now, otherwise, we won''t be polite."

    Qin Jiang sneered, "I''d like to see how you''re going to be impolite to me!"

    "You¡ª" Seeing that Qin Jiang was immovable, Liu Deming trembled with anger and said, "Today, with a VIP visiting, if you make a big scene, no one can protect you."

    "Don''t say I didn''t warn you!"

    "Really?" Qin Jiang said dispassionately, "And what of it? Now, I want justice!"

    "Her apology isn''t enough!"

    Just as the dean was about to get angry, he noticed that Zhang Haosheng had hurriedly approached.

    He quickly went up and spoke, "Sir, please don''t be angry, I''ll handle this matter, and I''ll have this troublemaker thrown out!"

    However, Zhang Haosheng seemed not to have heard him at all, instead joyfullying up to Qin Jiang with a look of surprise!

    "Sir, is it really you?"

    His tone was filled with excitement, and after speaking, he even gave Qin Jiang a slight bow!

    This scene left everyone with their jaws dropped!

    What was going on?

    Especially Dean Liu Deming, who knew Zhang Haosheng''s identity, he found it unbelievable!

    This young man actually knew the city leader?

    Seeing that it was Zhang Haosheng, Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Ah, it''s you, what a coincidence."

    Zhang Haosheng asked, "Sir, what has happened?"

    Qin Jiang briefly exined the situation.

    Upon hearing this.

    Zhang Haosheng''s expression darkened, and he said angrily, "Dean Liu, the consciousness of your hospital staff iscking! Sir, you say, how do you want to handle this?"

    Zhang Haosheng asked very respectfully.

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "A person like her does not deserve to be in a hospital position!"

    "The hospital is a ce for saving people! Not a ce for some to use their privileges to harm others!"

    Upon these words falling, Zhou Shumin''s face turned deathly pale, sweating nervously in her palms.

    Zhang Haosheng nodded, "Makes sense."

    With that statement, Liu Deming already knew what to do, "Zhou Shumin, you are fired, your medical license is revoked, get out of my hospital¡ª¡ª"

    At these words, Zhou Shumin''s head buzzed.

    "Dean..."

    "No use begging me!" Liu Deming said coldly, "You''ve wrought your own destruction!"

    Once Zhang Haosheng had spoken, how could he possibly protect Zhou Shumin?

    Furthermore!

    He had been aware of Zhou Shumin''s behavior, leveraging her father''s position as director to inciteints in the hospital, exhibiting a bad attitude and arrogance.

    He had long been displeased with her.

    If it weren''t for the consideration of Zhou Liao''s face, he would have wanted to strip away her hat long ago!

    Zhang Haosheng said coldly, "Dean Liu is fair and just, you''ve handled this well. The hospital is a sacred ce, and doctors are a group worthy of respect! Do not let a single rotten apple spoil the reputation of the hospital!"

    "Understand?"

    Liu Deming nodded repeatedly.

    Zhou Shumin''s legs went weak, and she almost copsed to the ground. Although she didn''t exactly love the profession of being a doctor, it was still the result of her entire youth...

    She had secured this job through her father''s connections!

    And now it was gone?

    She was unwilling!

    Zhou Liao also stepped forward, "Dean, the young girl didn''t know any better and made a little mistake; surely it does not warrant this? Directly revoking her medical license is too harsh a penalty!"

    His tone was full of dissatisfaction, recalling the great effort he had put into getting his daughter into the hospital.

    Now it was all gone just like that?

    How could he possibly ept it?

    He then looked toward Qin Jiang, "Sir, there should be room for leniency, I hope you can give her a chance!"

    He suppressed his anger and pleaded in a low voice.

    Qin Jiang spoke with a cold tone, sharply saying, "I''m sorry, I just happen to like being relentless! Besides... I also need to settle your ount!"

 Chapter 25: 25 Cant Get Away!

    Zhou Liao''s eyelids twitched furiously at Qin Jiang''s words!

    "What more do you want?"

    "I am someone who holds a grudge!" Qin Jiang said coldly, "And you wouldn''t have jumped out if I hadn''t mentioned it, but just now you were the one who threatened to break both of my legs, weren''t you? Where was your mercy then, when you should spare someone?"

    "Moreover, you judge without knowing right from wrong, you''re a minion for the tyrant, backing your daughter''s arrogance! If it weren''t for you, she wouldn''t dare to be so outrageous. You''re no good either!"

    "Director, do you think people who ignore reason and rely on their little bit of power deserve to work in your hospital? If so, then you would surely disappoint us patients!"

    That sentence made Zhou Liao''s hair stand on end!

    Was this guy relentless?

    Qin Jiang said, enunciating each word, "Your daughter made a mistake, and you, in turn, wanted to break my legs. You''re capable of turning ck and white and relying on others to bully; you, too, must pay the price!"

    Zhang Haosheng, seeing those security guards around, immediately understood what was going on, his face growing even colder, "When did such a life-saving ce like a hospital be so filthy? It''s outrageous!"

    He was thunderous, his authority emanating out, and everyone shivered! Especially Liu Deming, the director, who was sweating profusely and his lips turned purple!

    He now wanted to kill this father and daughter!

    "Zhou Liao!" Liu Deming gritted his teeth, "You and your daughter are the same, go back home and farm! The hospital can''t afford the two of you as its big Buddhas!"

    "Starting tomorrow, don''te to work!"

    "Revoke your medical license immediately!"

    Upon hearing this, Zhou Liao trembled, "Director, I..."

    "No more words, get out¡ª" Liu Deming roared, "If you don''t leave now, I''ll have someone carry you out and dump you on the street. I don''t want to see you here anymore!"

    Zhou Liao felt dizzy, not expecting that he would be implicated too. He had worked hard in the hospital for over twenty years, and it was not easy to get to his position today, about to take another step further!

    In the end, at the doorstep... everything was gone!

    He was full of hatred!!

    He red at Qin Jiang, then stared at Liu Deming, arguing his case, "Director! This is unfair! Have my blood and sweat for the hospital, my achievements, all been erased by you just like that? I, Zhou Liao, do not ept this!"

    Liu Deming said coldly, "You don''t ept it? Fine, then I''ll be fair and tell all about your past deeds in the hospital for the higher-ups to judge! How about that?"

    Upon hearing this, Zhou Liao trembled all over, and soon lost his confidence.

    If those things were really exposed, and the city officials knew about it, then it wouldn''t just be a simple job dismissal; he would definitely end up in prison!

    "Fine, I''ll go..."

    He left in a daze, humiliated and defeated.

    Zhou Shumin could not hide her reluctance, "Dad! Are we just going to let this go?"

    "p!" Zhou Liao, frustrated and angry, pped her face hard, "Get out immediately! Do you still want to make a fool of yourself here?"

    Zhou Shumin, covering her swollen face, had tears swirling in her eyes.

    But she knew that what happened today was set in stone.

    She was dismissed!

    Even her father, who had hoped to go even further, was now dismissed!

    The source of all this was because of her, because she had stupidly offended Qin Jiang.

    She was filled with regret now.

    If she hadn''t been so foolish at the beginning, they wouldn''t be driven out like homeless dogs, nor would they have fallen to this point of losing everything...

    But, regret was already toote!

    Seeing the miserable state of Zhou Liao and his daughter, Zhang Haoqiang couldn''t help shrinking his neck, wanting to quietly take his child and leave the ce, but Qin Jiang looked at him coldly.

    "Where do you think you''re going?"

    Zhang Haoqiang, with feigned bravery, said, "What more do you want?"

    Qin Jiang replied coldly, "You hit my mom, and now you don''t even apologize and just want to leave?"

    Mrs. Zhang exploded in anger, "You goddamn bastard! Don''t push it! Do you think we''re scared of you just because you''ve got some backing? What, do you want Director Liu to press down on us?"

    Zhang Haoqiang quickly held her back, ring at her fiercely.

    "Why are you pulling me? Am I wrong? We''re not just small fries in the hospital! Your ways, they don''t work on us! Dream on about an apology!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Okay, you seem very confident."

    "Naturally!" Mrs. Zhang said disdainfully, "My husband''s status isn''t that simple!"

    "Do you think you can just bring us down as you like?"

    Zhang Haosheng frowned ¡ª who were these two, acting so arrogant?

    Just as he was about to speak, a cold snort came through!

    "Vice Chairman Zhang, such arrogance!"

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoqiang trembled, looking up to see Shen Longting striding in with an imposing aura.

    "Tycoon Shen!" Zhang Haoqiang was overjoyed. With the intervention of a big figure like Shen Longting, even if there were others present, they would have to show some respect, and he might just escape today''s predicament.

    After all, not only was Shen Longting the richest man in Jiangcheng, but also the President of Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce!

    His status and position were extraordinary.

    He approached obsequiously, "Tycoon Shen, I''ve encountered some trouble here, could you possibly..."

    However, Shen Longting''s face was grim as he raised his hand and pped Zhang Haoqiang across the face!

 Chapter 26: 26 Emergency Blood Shortage!

    "Smack!"

    The p was resounding, forceful, and heavy! In an instant, Zhang Haoqiang was sent sprawling to the ground!

    "Zhang Haoqiang, how dare you offend Mr. Qin with your sheer audacity! Today, if you don''t provide Mr. Qin with a satisfactory exnation, I will see to it that you are utterly ruined!"

    Shen Longting was seething with murderous intent.

    Qin Jiang was his master, and this scoundrel had the gall to provoke his master?

    Seeking death?

    "I... I..."

    Zhang Haoqiang was dumbfounded, stuttering and unable to form aplete sentence.

    Mr. Qin?

    This guy not only knew Mayor Zhang, but even Tycoon Shen showed such deference to him?

    What on earth is going on!

    He was sweating profusely, realizing he had offended someone he couldn''t afford to, and he hurriedly scrambled up from the ground, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, Mr. Qin, I know I was wrong..."

    Mrs. Zhang was also bewildered.

    She knew Shen Longting, aware that this man before her was her husband''s immediate superior! Because Zhang Haoqiang''s rise to his present position was due to the prestige of themercial association!

    If he were to lose that title, Zhang Haoqiang would be finished...

    And Shen Longting, just so happened to have the power to kick Zhang Haoqiang out with a single blow.

    Which is why Zhang Haoqiang was so terrified...

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Apologies, I won''t ept them."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoqiang felt his heart and gall shatter, immediately dropping to his knees with a thud!

    "Mr. Qin, I beg you, forgive me, it is my fault..."

    How could Zhang Haoqiang afford to stay tough?

    Even Shen Longting treated Qin Jiang with utter respect, striking him across the face right away. Even a fool would realize that Qin Jiang was not someone he could afford to offend!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Xiao Shen, this guy hit my mom and spouted nonsense, refusing to apologize. Deal with it. You also need to be strict in selecting people for yourmercial association, don''t just bring in any idiot!"

    "Yes!" Shen Longting''s sweat poured down as he nodded vigorously.

    He kicked Zhang Haoqiang, sending him tumbling head over heels, and said icily, "After you go back, I will personally inform themercial association that you are no longer one of its members! Also, all the resources the association has provided for you, I will take them all back..."

    When he heard this,

    Zhang Haoqiang immediately started to beg and crawl, "Chairman, I was just momentarily bewitched..."

    He was making money through themercial association!

    Moreover, if themercial association took back all the resources they had given him, what would be of him?

    He would be left with nothing but his underpants!

    Shen Longting said coldly, "This is already the lightest punishment. If you dare to linger here, I will make sure that you are utterly ruined!"

    Frightened by the chill in Shen Longting''s words, Zhang Haoqiang turned and ran.

    "Wait a minute!" Qin Jiang said coldly.

    "What more do you want?" Zhang Haoqiang asked, gritting his teeth as he looked back.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Just now, you bumped into my mom and hadn''t paid it back yet. Now, which one of you spouses will repay it?"

    Mrs. Zhang, dragging her corpulent body, came forward noisily, "I will! I''ll give you a bump back!"

    Qin Jiang punched her, and Mrs. Zhang let out a miserable scream as she flew several meters and passed out.

    "Get lost!"

    Zhang Haoqiang, trembling with fear, quickly scooped up his wife, who weighed over two hundred pounds, and crawled away in a frenzy.

    He was filled with regret. Who on earth was this young man that even the mysterious leader treated with such courtesy, and Shen Longting bowed and scraped before him?

    How blind had he been to provoke such an existence?

    Qin Sisi and Wen Wenling were also stunned.

    They never expected their driver to be Jiangcheng''s richest man, Shen Longting. When they found out the truth, they werepletely bewildered.

    Even Zhang Haosheng, the Mayor, was incredibly astonished. Qin Jiang turned out to have such a close rtionship with Tycoon Shen Longting.

    Plus, Shen Longting''s attitude towards him was more than just respect. There was also a kind of... a heartfelt awe of a subordinate towards a superior!

    Hospital Director Liu Deming was also in disbelief. Indeed, looks can be deceiving! This seemingly ordinary young man actually had such a powerful background...

    He made up his mind that he absolutely could not afford to offend a big shot like Qin Jiang.

    Otherwise, he wouldn''t even know how he might die!

    Qin Jiang said, "Hurry up and arrange for my family to be hospitalized. They also need a blood transfusion."

    "Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Deming nodded eagerly in agreement.

    Mayor Zhang hesitated, "Mr. Qin..."

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "If there''s a matter, we can discuss itter. I need to take care of my family now."

    "Alright, then I won''t disturb you. I hope your mother and sister recover soon." Mayor Zhang could only give up, politely taking his leave, and he instructed Liu Deming to make sure they were well taken care of.

    He would still need to ask for Qin Jiang''s help with treating a disease in the future.

    Zhang Haosheng nodded repeatedly. With such an esteemed figure, how could he dare to be negligent?

    Soon, the hospital rooms for Wen Wenling and Qin Sisi were ready.

    Although Shen Longting was the richest man, he was quite attentive, pouring tea and serving water without missing a thing.

    Shen Longting said, "Mrs. Wen, Miss Qin, you don''t have to be formal with me. Just call me Xiao Shen. I am Mr. Qin''s man."

    When had Qin Jiang be so impressive that he could make a big shot who drove luxury cars work for him?

    Soon, the blood type test report came out quickly. Liu Deming came over with the report and said, "Mr. Qin, the report is out, but there''s a problem..."

    "What problem?"

    Qin Jiang knitted his eyebrows.

    "Mrs. Wen''s blood type is themon O type, and we have plenty of it in the blood bank."

    "But, Miss Qin''s blood type is the rare Rh-negative ''panda blood,'' and currently, our blood bank does not have this type of blood supply."

    Looking at Qin Sisi''s pale face, Qin Jiang felt distressed and asked with knitted brows, "Is there a fast solution?"

    Liu Deming replied with a wry smile, "Indeed, our hospital''s database has records of Rh-negative blood types. That person is the daughter of the Liuu Family, Liuu Yan."

    "She has the same Rh-negative blood type as Miss Qin, and currently, Miss Liuu is in the hospital."

    "Please introduce us, I want to see her," said Qin Jiang, "Thank you for your trouble."

 Chapter 27: 27 I can save him!

    Jiangcheng had also heard of the Liuu Family''s name.

    Like the Lin Family, the Liuu Family was among Jiangcheng''s top aristocrats, touted as a first-rate household, with deep-rooted influence thatmanded awe from everyone!

    However, even though Miss Liuu was of a rare blood type, it wouldn''t be easy for him to directly ask if she would be willing to give blood to Qin Sisi, would it?

    He could only assess the situation, but no matter what, he had to obtain the blood source!

    Liu Deming hurriedly said, "Miss Liuu Yan is currently... currently not too willing to meet ordinary people. Mr. Qin, it might be difficult for you to ask her to help solve this problem!"

    After all, Liuu Yan was of noble status. How could she simply donate blood to others just because someone asked her to?

    "I understand," Qin Jiang said indifferently. "Since she''s at the hospital now, something must have happened, right?"

    Liu Deming said, "Elder Liuu has not been in good healthtely, he''s gravely ill. Our hospital is also quite in a state of panic, we''ve been so tormented, it''s almost headache-inducing."

    "Today, Miss Liuu just happened toe to the hospital to visit Elder Liuu, so she''s here."

    "That''s just perfect," Qin Jiang remarked upon hearing this and nodded, "Take me to see them, please."

    Liu Deming hesitated for a moment, at which Qin Jiang immediately chuckled and said, "Director, rest assured, I know what should be said and what shouldn''t. I won''t make things difficult for you."

    "Alright..." Liu Deming could only obedientlyply, hoping Qin Jiang wouldn''t make the situation too awkward for everyone.

    Before leaving, Qin Jiang instructed, "First, transfuse blood to my mother, I''ll be back shortly."

    Meanwhile.

    In a high-level VIP ward of the hospital.

    An old many on a hospital bed, an oxygen tube over his nose, hisplexion pale, his breath faint, almostatose, surrounded by numerous descendants of the Liuu family, their faces filled with anxiety and helplessness.

    Elder Liuu was advanced in years, and a week ago, he suddenly became bedridden. He has been undergoing hospital treatment for more than a week, and now, he was nearly at his wits'' end.

    But Elder Liuu was the backbone of the Liuu Family. Once he fell, the Liuu''s prestige would plummet, and moreover, they would suffer a great deal of damage at the hands of other families banding together against them.

    Thus, the current condition of Elder Liuu left them quite helpless.

    Heart failure.

    It was ultimately beyond salvation.

    Liuu Yan sat before the bed, holding the old man''s hand, a bittersweet smile on her lips, her heart heavy as she gazed at Elder Liuu lying on the bed. She had been brought up by the old man since childhood and had a particrly deep bond with him.

    Even deeper than the bond with her own parents.

    Now, the person she loved most was about to leave her, a feeling that made her feel as if her body had been drained, wanting to say something, yet not managing to utter a single word!

    She had been desperately seeking doctors, but not one was able to cure Elder Liuu.

    Even...

    She had already announced that whoever could save Elder Liuu, she would consent to marry him!

    But it was still to no avail.

    Just then, Liuu Xinming spoke up, "Since there''s no other way, what''s most important is to maintain the foundation of the Liuu Family. After all, it''s Grandpa''s lifetime of hard work."

    "That''s right, that''s right!"

    "Yes, now we can only leave it to fate, after all, we''ve done everything we could..."

    "Still, let''s think about the future of Liuu Corporation. Grandfather''s life''s work needs to be continued by us, we can''t let it fail."

    "Liuu Yan, what do you think?"

    "Shut up, all of you!" Liuu Yan scolded sharply. "Grandpa is in this state, yet you''re thinking about splitting the inheritance! Do you have no conscience at all?"

    She was trembling with anger.

    The others were quite displeased.

    "Liuu Yan, don''t be so arrogant! It was because Grandfather doted on you that he let you temporarily take the position of CEO! Now, if Grandfather is gone, let''s see how you''ll continue being CEO!"

    Liuu Yan snorted "Well, that will depend on your abilities then."

    She paused for a moment before continuing, "I''ve already requested Doctor Li toe. Grandfather won''t die!"

    She clutched Elder Liuu''s withered hand tightly.

    "Indeed, he won''t die, because I can save him!" Just then, a clear voice came from outside the door, and Qin Jiang walked inposedly!

 Chapter 28: 28 Only he can save!

    The crowd was stunned when this voice suddenly came from outside the door.

    "Who are you?"

    Seeing that it was just a youth who had made the bold statements, they immediately became furious!

    "Where did this greenhorne from? Get out of here now! Don''t get in our way!"

    With the elder on the brink of death, looking as if he could pass away at any moment, the Liuu Family was already at their wits'' end. And now, an instigator showed up! How could they react with anything but anger?

    "I am here to save someone," said Qin Jiang calmly. "Who here is Miss Liuu Yan?"

    Liu Deming coughed lightly twice. "Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Qin."

    Liuu Xinming eximed angrily, "Director, what are you doing! My grandfather hasn''t passed away yet, and you''re already disrespecting the Liuu Family? Bringing this guy here, are you trying to cause trouble?"

    A greenhorn kid actually imed he could save Elder Liuu? What a joke!

    Must be another swindler after money!

    Qin Jiang calmly said, "I have a deal I would like to propose to Miss Liuu Yan."

    "You saw the medical appeal I posted and came, didn''t you?" Liuu Yan''s expression was indifferent. "You''re quite young. Give you a chance, cure my grandfather, and I¡ªwill belong to you!"

    Qin Jiang: ???

    "What medical appeal?"

    Liu Deming coughed lightly twice and whispered in Qin Jiang''s ear. "Recently, Elder Liuu became critically ill, and Miss Liuu posted a medical appeal stating that anyone who can cure Elder Liuu can ask for any reasonable condition from her! Even if it means offering herself in marriage."

    "This period, God knows how many talented young men havee with famous doctors to help..."

    "With the intent of winning the fairdy''s hand."

    Liuu Yan said lightly, "Stop pretending, we are all adults here. I know exactly what goes on in men''s minds. As long as you can cure my grandfather..."

    "I, Liuu Yan, keep my word."

    Qin Jiang coldly said, "You misunderstood. I came here today just to ask for some blood."

    Liuu Yan''s face turned crimson with embarrassment. How did this guy know she was still a virgin? Yet, though he seemed serious, he made such a shamelessment in public!

    Libertine!

    "You''re disgusting! Get out!"

    She immediately became furious.

    After all, Qin Jiang looked so young, the odds he could cure her grandfather were pretty much zero.

    There''s no loss in kicking him out.

    The Liuu family members all shouted angrily, "Kid, you''re looking for trouble by flirting with a respectable woman, and now on my Liuu Family''s doorstep, huh?"

    Even Liu Deming didn''t expect Qin Jiang to utter such outrageously shameless words!

    Qin Jiang suddenly realized he seemed to have said something unspeakable and said coolly, "You misunderstood, the ''some blood'' I mentioned isn''t that kind of blood."

    "I''m not interested in you."

    Liuu Yan scoffed repeatedly. "Then what kind of blood are you talking about? You disgusting creature, get out¡ª"

    Qin Jiang said, "You must have Rh-negative blood type, right?"

    Liuu Yan said, "What if I do!"

    "My sister has been injured; she also has Rh-negative blood type. That''s why I came asking for you to donate some blood."

    Liuu Yan crossed her arms in front of her chest, making her figure even more striking. "Why should I help you?"

    "Because I can save your grandfather!"

    Liuu Yan said contemptuously, "You? In these past seven or eight days, I''ve seen no less than thirty scammers like you! Do you think I''ll believe you?"

    "Doctor Li ising today, so we don''t need you causing a fuss! If even Doctor Li can''t do anything..."

    She looked sorrowfully at the old man in the bed, realizing they might just have to give up.

    "Doctor Li might not be out of options, but I definitely can."

    Liuu Yan, running out of patience, said directly, "Get lost now, don''t make me lose my temper."

    The crowd from the Liuu family also scolded him, urging him to get out of there at once.

    Qin Jiang spoke with an icy tone, "Fine, if you regret itter,e find me within an hour at Room 318! Don''t expect me to wait after that! Though by then, the terms might change¡ªnot something a mere blood donation can solve!"

    Having said that, he turned and left.

    "Putting on airs!"

    "So funny, acting as if we really need him!"

    "Haha! Him?"

    This guy must be addicted to acting important, really thinking he''s something special?

    How amusing!

    Liuu Yan also sneered at Qin Jiang''s words.

    No sooner had Qin Jiang left the sickroom when he saw Li Jiushu hurrying over.

    "Mr. Qin!"

    Upon seeing Qin Jiang, he spoke respectfully, "Have you alsoe to treat Elder Liuu''s condition?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head, "They didn''t believe me, didn''t even give me a chance to get started."

    "Blind fools!" Li Jiushu sighed softly. "If Mr. Qin could take action, this old man wouldn''t have needed toe here at all. Ah, what a bother!"

    Qin Jiang patted his shoulder and then took his leave.

    Li Jiushu entered the sickroom, and the Liuu family greeted him with reverent faces, weing him inside.

    After a quick pulse examination of the elder, Li Jiushu shook his head. "I, too, am powerless to reverse his fate."

    At these words, the faces of the Liuu family turned pale.

    Liuu Yan, in despair, asked, "Doctor Li, is there really no other way?"

    "There might be one," Doctor Li said. "It''s just a pity that you drove it away."

    "What?"

    The crowd was shocked.

    Liuu Yan asked urgently, "Doctor Li, what solution? Tell me quickly."

    Li Jiushu said, "That young man you just sent away, perhaps, he is the only one in Jiangcheng who could save Elder Liuu''s life. s, you drove him away!"

    Upon hearing this, Liuu Yan''s heart trembled. "Him?"

    "Yes!" Li Jiushu said with a look of admiration. "Mr. Qin''s medical skills surpass even mine!"

    Upon hearing this, Liuu Yan stood up abruptly, "I''ll go get him now!"

 Chapter 29: 29: Defying the Heavens to Prolong Life!

    In Wen Wenling''s hospital room.

    Qin Jiang returned.

    Wen Wenling''splexion had improved significantly after the blood transfusion, and color was gradually returning to her face.

    Qin Sisi, on the other hand, sat on the hospital bed, her pretty face deathly pale. She looked devoid of energy and spirit, very listless. Qin Jiang felt a deep pang of distress in his heart and prepared to visit the Liuu family''s room again.

    Just as he was leaving, a figure hurried in and bumped right into him, her voluptuous chest crashing against his chest.

    "Ouch!"

    Liuu Yan fell straight to the ground, rubbed her forehead, and struggled to get up.

    When she saw Qin Jiang, she was overjoyed, "Mr. Qin! Please save my grandfather! I agree to your terms, I''ll do whatever you ask, even if it''s being your woman!"

    She bit her teeth tightly, her face flushing slightly.

    "I said, I''m not interested in you," Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I will treat your grandfather, you go donate blood to my sister. Don''t waste any more time, let''s go."

    Seeing how readily Qin Jiang agreed, Liuu Yan was extremely delighted, "Okay, thank you for your trouble."

    She was somewhat puzzled inside. She had offered to be his woman and he still refused?

    Was she really that unattractive?

    Didn''t other peoplepete for her?

    But she noticed that Qin Jiang''s gaze never lingered on her.

    The two made their way to the room where the Liuu family members were gathered.

    This time, the attitude of the Liuu family members had changed drastically, and they were extremely respectful towards Qin Jiang. However, Qin Jiang wasn''t showing any pleasant expressions as he went directly to Elder Liuu''s side.

    After examining Elder Liuu''s condition,

    he slowly said, "Elder Liuu is now gravely ill, his bodily functions greatly weakened. It''s natural for life to follow a course of birth, aging, sickness, and death."

    Upon hearing this, everyone''s heart suspended, "Mr. Qin means..."

    "It''s destiny, I cannot change it," Qin Jiang said, "This isn''t an illness, but a general weakening of all organs. All I can do is to prolong the elder''s life."

    "Prolong life?" The crowd was startled.

    "That''s right," Qin Jiang said, "Stimte Old Mr. Qin''s body, allowing it to regain vitality on its own. It might prolong his life for more than a year, that''s the limit."

    Hearing this, everyone could only nod helplessly. Considering the elder''s current condition, even more than a year was a gift.

    They, the Liuu family, would also have more time to prepare.

    Afterwards.

    Qin Jiang began to treat the elder with silver needles, using a set of acupuncture called Life-Renewing Heavenly Acupuncture, which could maximally stimte the patient''s body and awaken its potential!

    However, this method of acupuncture could, at most, only be used once for a person on their deathbed.

    Then, before the astonished eyes of the crowd, Qin Jiang''s silver needles one by one found their mark. Seven or eight minutester, Qin Jiang exhaled lightly and withdrew his hands.

    And the elder on the sickbed, who had been on hisst breath, looked a bit better and slowly opened his eyes, removing the oxygen tube from his face.

    "Dad¡ª"

    "Grandfather!"

    The Liuu descendants rushed forward, surrounding the elder with a flurry of questions and warm regards.

    Only Liuu Yan stood in ce, wiping her tears and repeatedly bowing in thanks to Qin Jiang.

    "You''re wee," Qin Jiang said, a bit embarrassed as he averted his gaze because Liuu Yan''s figure was too explosive, especially her rounded, eye-catching bust. As she bent over, the ample view came into Qin Jiang''s full sight.

    Liuu Yan, utterly oblivious to her exposed charms, came forward and said to Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, this is a little token of my appreciation. There are five million in this card, it''s yourpensation."

    "And this is a special VIP card from the Liuu family, which can be used in all businesses owned by our family. Whenever you visit, you can enjoy discounted or even free services and receive the highest treatment from the Liuu family. In the entire Jiangcheng, no more than ten people have this!"

    "Also, I will go donate blood to your sisterter, so you don''t have to worry."

    "All right!"

    Qin Jiang didn''t hold back and epted everything.

    Liuu Yan watched Qin Jiang''s retreating figure, a daze in her eyes, a strange emotion emerging in her heart.

    "I should take my leave now." Qin Jiang left and returned to the hospital room where Wen Wenling and the others were.

    As he got back, he found Xu Muge was already inside, peeling apples for the two and engaging in heartwarming small talk, creating a very cozy atmosphere.

    Xu Muge saw Qin Jiang return, her pretty face slightly cold, "What''s the matter with you? How could you let Auntie and Sisi get hurt? If something happened to them, I would never forgive you!"

    Qin Jiang''s face was filled with guilt, "I''m sorry."

    He had already sent people to protect his mother and sister, but the opponents were too strong. Fortunately, because Lin Qingxuan wanted to lure him out, she did not directly kill them.

    Otherwise, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life!

    Qin Sisi said, "Muge, a beautiful woman came to our ward looking for him just now."

    Xu Muge''s pretty face changed slightly, "Oh?"

    Qin Sisi smiled and said, "That woman, she even said she wanted to be his woman!"

    Xu Muge''s face remained expressionless, but the fruit knife in her hand suddenly tightened its grip!

    Qin Jiang hurriedly said, "Sisi, don''t talk nonsense."

    Seeing the two of them like this, Qin Sisi couldn''t help butugh with a pfft.

    "Alright, Muge, I''ll stop teasing you. Big brother turned that woman down. Humph, if he dared to hesitate for even a second, I would have knifed him for you."

    Only then did Xu Muge''s hand rx, she huffed proudly, "Who cares about him? We''re just acquaintances now, and I''m not his fianc¨¦e!"

    Seeing Xu Muge''s stubbornness, Qin Sisiughed out loud again, "All right all right! You''re the boss, who would want such a smelly man, right?"

    "Exactly!" Xu Muge said with false pride.

    After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Muge finally left, "I''m preparing to go back to the Xu Family. I need to make some arrangements. Auntie, Sisi, take care of yourselves."

    "Qin Jiang, take good care of Auntie and Sisi. If anything happens, I''ll hold you ountable¡ªdo you hear me?"

    Qin Jiang nodded and escorted Xu Muge out of the hospital, watching her leave.

    Soon, Liuu Yan''s blood source arrived, and after the transfusion, Qin Sisi''splexion slowly improved. Qin Jiang sat beside them in meditation to take care of both.

    The incident at the Lin Family also quickly spread.

    Luo Shifei, learning that even Lin Qingxuan had been taken down, had her face turn even paler and more feeble.

    Now, who else could control Qin Jiang?

    Suddenly, she thought of someone!

    Mr. Chu! As long as Mr. Chu Tianjiao intervened, Qin Jiang and the others were surely done for!

    It was because of Qin Jiang that Xu Muge offended Mr. Chu Tianjiao years ago, which led to her disfigurement. Now, Luo Shifei needed to find a way to survive in these cracks, and her only option was to seek help from Mr. Chu!

    Meanwhile.

    In Jinling at the Xiao Family.

    In the grand hall of the Xiao Family, dozens of people gathered, each exuding a murderous aura!

    And Xiao Zhenghai''s body shuddered uncontrobly upon receiving the news that his wife had died; now, he was on the edge of exploding. Some trash from a small ce like Jiangcheng actually dared to disregard even Mr. Xiao himself?

    And killed his wife!

    This was an outrage!

    With that thought, his eyes becamepletely cold.

    "Immediately head to Jiangcheng. Find this bastard for me and kill him!" hemanded with a chilling murderous intent.

    "Yes!"

    Dozens of Xiao Family martial artists responded in unison, their voices thundering!

    Just at that moment, a figure in a long robe walked in from the outside.

    "Old Ghost Xu from Jinling,ing to visit!"

    Old Ghost Xu was tall and thin. As he strolled in, the atmosphere instantly became oppressive!

    His reputation alone was enough to make them tremble with fear!!

    Xiao Zhenghai was immediately stunned. With the Xiao Family''s status, they had absolutely no chance of interacting with these big shots from Jinling. Why would such an entity suddenlye here?

    "Sir Xu!"

    He scrambled to his feet and respectfully approached Old Ghost Xu.

 Chapter 30: 30 House Arrest! Forcibly Entering the Xu Family!

    "Are you Xiao Zhenghai?"

    "It''s me!" Xiao Zhenghai trembled, "What does Sir Xumand?"

    "Smack!"

    Old Ghost Xu directly pped him across the face!

    Xiao Zhenghai was sent flying, crashing onto the sofa!

    He opened his mouth, and out sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood.

    "I heard you''re quite arrogant? Even dared to send someone to kill our Master?"

    Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenghai was utterly bewildered. "I... I don''t know you at all, Sir Xu! Nor do I know the Master you''re speaking of!"

    Old Ghost Xu said coldly, "Your wife caused trouble in Jiangcheng and dared to make a move against our Master. By rights, for this offense, she deserves death."

    Xiao Zhenghai shuddered...

    Could it be that the person who killed his wife was the Master that Sir Xu was talking about?

    The identity of Old Ghost Xu was already enough to make them shudder!

    An even more formidable presence, how formidable could it be?

    They didn''t even dare to imagine.

    Xiao Zhenghai felt a jolt through his entire body! He had nearly caused a catastrophic disaster!

    Old Ghost Xu spoke in a cold voice, "If the Xiao Family dares to get involved in this matter again, we''ll show no mercy!"

    With that, he floated away.

    Xiao Zhenghai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gasping heavily, and slumped onto the sofa!

    That was a close call...

    The Xu Family.

    Xu Muge and her group got dolled up and returned to the Xu Family.

    Xu Jiang''s face was as dark as water.

    However, upon seeing Xu Muge''s features restored, he was overjoyed, "Good! Very good! Muge, I didn''t expect you to have recovered. It seems there''s hope for the revival of the Xu Family!"

    Liu Ya hurriedly said, "Dad, look, Muge hase back. Do you think... maybe it''s time to let her take over the CEO position again?"

    Xu Jiang waved his hand dismissively, "We''ll talk about thatter."

    "Muge, you''re not getting any younger. It''s time to arrange a marriage for you. Currently, our Xu Family isn''t in the best situation, and we might need you to make a sacrifice."

    Xu Muge deimed, "Grandfather, right now I just want to focus on my career, I''m not interested in these marital matters."

    "Nonsense!" Xu Jiang roared in anger. "You dare to defy my order? Don''t you have any regard for me as the head of the family? So you''ve grown bold wings, have you!"

    Xu Muge lifted her head, resolutely saying, "Grandfather, I came back to bring profit to the Xu Family. With my business acumen, I will definitely take the Xu Family to the next level!"

    "As for the matter of marriage... please don''t worry about it."

    "You¡ªyou¡ªyou¡ª" Xu Jiang trembled with fury. "You''re rebelling! Xu Muge, it seems you want to be kicked out again and live like a stray dog!"

    "The easiest way for our Xu Family to bring in benefits is through a political marriage! Our Xu Family is short on funds recently, and we want to establish a connection with the Longting Group. Coincidentally, Mr. Wu''s son, Mr. Wu, who is the second shareholder of the Longting Group, used to pursue you!"

    "If you marry him, our Xu Group will have the backing of the Longting Group in Jiangcheng and will surely thrive and achieve new brilliance!"

    That wastrel Wu Xiaolong?

    Xu Muge was stunned. Could such a person be a marriage candidate?

    "I refuse." Xu Muge gritted her teeth.

    "Refuse or not, you have to agree!" Xu Jiang paid no attention to her resistance, saying indifferently, "Once you''re in the Xu Family''s doors, it''s not your ce to make decisions!"

    Xu Muge clenched her teeth and turned to leave.

    Xu Jiang mmed the table and coldly shouted, "Guards! Take the miss and watch her closely! Don''t allow any harm toe to her, otherwise, I will hold you ountable!"

    At the drop of his words, Xu Muge''s face turned deathly pale; she knew she was being ced under house arrest...

    Couldn''t she see clearly who Wu Xiaolong was, adept in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling? Letting her marry such trash, wasn''t Xu Jiang pushing her into a pit?

    Xu Jinlong trembled, "Dad, isn''t this a bit too much?"

    Xu Jiang shouted angrily, "Unruly child! Keep your mouth shut. Are you eager to see the Xu Family go bankrupt?"

    Xu Jinlong tried again, "But..."

    "That''s final!" Xu Jiang wasn''t interested in arguing. "If Mr. Wu agrees to it, tomorrow, we''ll have the engagement. Guards, take them down for a good rest!"

    A swarm of guards surged forth, surrounding the group.

    Xu Jinlong and others did not expect such an oue, their eyes filled with astonishment and anger!

    Xu Mulin raged, "Grandfather, that''s too much, you cannot ruin my sister''s happiness!!"

    "p him!" Xu Jiang ordered coldly.

    "Smack smack smack!"

    A few guards stepped forward and after several ps, they began punching and kicking Xu Mulin, causing him to bleed from the corner of his mouth!

    "Xu Mulin, in front of great interests of the Xu Family, you must understand the bigger picture!" Xu Jiang scolded. "You''re letting grandfather down by behaving like this. Take him away and lock him in the dark room."

    At this, Xu Muge''s delicate body shivered. The Xu Family''s dark room was for punishing those who broke family rules. It was not a ce where the average person could endure. If Xu Mulin were locked up there, he would definitely not be able to withstand the torture!

    "Grandfather, please... I agree."

    For now, she could only agree and then find a way to escape!

    "That''s my good granddaughter!" Xu Jiang nodded with some satisfaction. "You were blessed with good looks; marrying a wealthy and powerful man is the proper path! Look at the boyfriend Huanhuan found, isn''t he outstanding?"

    Xu Muge bit her red lips, feeling extremely repressed.

    Xu Mulin clenched his teeth furiously.

    He was no stranger to that Wu Xiaolong, a famously wasteful scion in Jiangcheng with a notorious reputation. How could his sister marry such trash?

    Xu Muge and the others were kept under strict surveince in the Xu Family''s side courtyard.

    Liu Ya clenched her teeth, "Has the old man lost his mind? Wanting to wed Muge to that kind of scum?"

    Though she was avaricious, she wouldn''t push her daughter into the fire! If the other person were a young and promising man, it''d be forgivable, but Wu Xiaolong was just scum; even if Muge married him, she would not have a good life!

    Xu Muge remained silent. If Qin Jiang learned about this, would he dare toe for her?

    Jiang City People''s Hospital.

    After Qin Jiang had finished clearing away the dishes for his mother and sister, he suddenly received a message.

    "Now, we are back at the Xu Family, but the Xu Family has ced us under house arrest. Tomorrow, I''m going to be engaged."

    It was a message from Xu Muge.

    Qin Jiang''s head exploded! House arrest? Forced marriage?

    He rushed out of the hospital room, frantically calling Xu Muge, but all calls were like dropping stones into the sea!

    Qin Jiang clenched his fists tightly!

    No matter what, he would not stand by and watch Xu Muge be thrown into the tiger''s mouth. If the Xu Family refused to release her, he wouldn''t mind making these people pay a painful price!

    Moreover, Xu Muge had sent him this message because she hoped he would rescue her, right?

    He made a call to Shen Longting, "Spread the word for me. Tomorrow, I, Qin Jiang, will personally go to the Xu Family to propose. Whoever dares to block the way, whoever dares to cause trouble, will bear the consequences!"

    Shen Longting asked, "Years ago, Miss Xu pawned a ne here at Shen''s Jewelry¡ªthe Star Moon, which is now the treasure of our store. Should I send it back to her?"

    Qin Jiang was stunned. The Star Moon Ne, wasn''t that Xu Muge''s favorite ne?

    "Send it back along with it as a betrothal gift."

    The next day.

    The Xu Family was all festive inside and out.

    Because today was the day Xu Muge was to be engaged, and her fianc¨¦ was Mr. Wu of Longting Group, the son of the Longting Group''s secondrgest shareholder! Once they were allied with the other party through marriage, the Xu Family was going to soar!

    Especially Xu Jiang, seated in a position of power, felt exceptionally refreshed. The recent crisis of the Xu Group had left him feeling suffocated.

    Now, with Mr. Wu agreeing to marry Xu Muge, this undoubtedly relieved their pressure. Having the support of Longting Group, the Xu Family would soon rise to great heights.

    However¡­

    What really soured his mood was that Xu Muge had dared to send a message to Qin Jiang yesterday!

    And this brash Qin Jiang had even dered he woulde to snatch the bride today? Ignorant of his own limitations!

    A pauper like him worthy of their Xu Family''s gem? If Qin Jiang dared to step through the Xu Family''s gate today, he would beat him like a dead dog and throw him out!

    Nobody could stop the Xu Family from climbing up to the Longting Group!

    Soon, Xu Muge, after being meticulously dressed, also appeared in the hall with the other members of the Xu Family.

    However, there was little joy on Xu Muge''s pretty face.

    Xu Jiang said coldly, "Muge, stop dreaming."

    "Qin Jiang won''t dare toe. Moreover, I''ve hired an Inner Strength martial artist from the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall to guard the door for today, just to prevent that guy from making trouble! If he dares toe, he''s sure to be beaten into a sandbag and thrown out!"

    "And even if by a million-to-one chance he gets past me, he won''t get past Mr. Wu! Do you think the people around Mr. Wu are pushovers?"

    Xu Muge clenched her fists tightly, also feeling some concern. Wu Xiaolong was no easy mark!

    If Qin Jiang ruined the proposal today, would Wu Xiaolong let him off the hook, given his temperament?

    Xu Jiang spoke indifferently, "Muge, ept the arrangement. I''m doing this for your own good! In the future, you will live a life of luxury as a rich wife. What''s there to be dissatisfied with?"

    "Fine! I''ll just wait here, then. Today, if Qin Jiang doesn''te, I''ll get engaged to Wu Xiaolong! But if he dares toe, today I dare to leave with him!"

    Xu Jiang scoffed, "So what if hees? In front of Mr. Wu, he is nothing but an ant! Today, no one can change this fact!"

    Meanwhile, outside the Xu Family mansion.

    Qin Jiang, dressed in ck, with a grim expression, stepped down from the car and walked toward the entrance of the Xu Family.

    "Halt!" Several guards, wielding electric batons, shouted, "Our Family Head has given orders: today, neither Qin Jiang nor a dog may enter. If you take one more step forward, we won''t be polite any longer!"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Anyone who blocks my path will bear the consequences!"

    The guards, furious, rushed at him with their electric batons!

    "Is that all you''ve got?" Qin Jiang, bristling with anger, struck. Within five seconds, the guards were all overthrown like dead wood in a fierce wind, copsing to the ground, out of the fight!

    "A bunch of trash." A voice of disdain said, "It looks like I''ll have to take action myself!"

    "Master Chen!"

    Hearing this voice, everyone''s spirits lifted, and sure enough, they saw a middle-aged man slowly walking over!

    "Master Chen is the third strongest member of the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall, a true Inner Strength martial artist!"

    "Now, Qin Jiang is finished."

    "It seems the lesson I gave you yesterday wasn''t enough?" said Qin Jiang suddenly, in a cold voice.

    Master Chen''s heart shook, and recognizing the neer as Qin Jiang, he fell to his knees with a thud, trembling!

    "I, I..."

    "What about you? Scram!" Qin Jiang recognized this middle-aged man as one from the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall. He walked over and kicked the kneeling Master Chen, knocking him unconscious!

    The entire ce went silent.

    What just happened?

    Master Chen actually knelt out of fear? And was then kicked unconscious by Qin Jiang!

    Their worldview crumbled.

    With a chilling aura, Qin Jiang made his way toward the main hall of the Xu Family. Along the way, all the Xu Family guards stepped aside, not daring to block his path!

    "Bang¡ª"

    He kicked open the doors of the Xu Family main hall!

    Instantly.

    All eyes were drawn toward him.

    "Qin Jiang!" Seeing Qin Jiang arrive, Xu Muge''s delicate body trembled slightly, moved.

    "You bastard! You really dared toe!" Xu Jiang shook with rage.

    Qin Jiang spoke calmly, "Old Mr. Xu, I''ve already informed you that I woulde to propose today!"

    "So, you''re not weing me?"

    Xu Jiang snorted coldly, "You are courting death! I''ve already promised Muge to Mr. Wu. When Mr. Wu arrives, you''ll learn how to spell ''death''."

    Qin Jiang''s tone was resolute, "Even if Heaven''s Emperor himself came today, he couldn''t stop me from taking Muge away!"

    "Apuse, apuse, apuse!" Just then, a round of pping came from outside the door, "Good, very good! So there''s someone who dares topete with me, Wu Xiaolong, for a woman. Quite courageous indeed!"

 Chapter 31: 31: Necklace Worth Hundreds of Millions, Shen Longting Gives a Gift!

    Outside the door, a young man walked in with a few sycophants, strutting arrogantly.

    The youth was none other than Wu Xiaolong.

    "Mr. Wu!"

    Upon seeing the neer, Xu Jiang, Xu Huanhuan, and the others all showed fawning expressions on their faces.

    Wu Xiaolong simply nodded indifferently and then approached Qin Jiang, "You''re Qin Jiang, right?"

    Qin Jiang nodded dispassionately, "That''s right."

    Wu Xiaolong said coldly, "Let''s not mention the matter of you offending me for now! Just talking about the qualifications to propose, do you think you, with your impoverished look, are worthy ofpeting with me?"

    Wu Xiaolong puffed out his chest and proimed arrogantly, "Today, I''ve brought a dowry of eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand in cash! The engagement ring weighs fifty carats and is worth over one million six hundred thousand! Jewelry and luxury brands all around, totaling around a million!"

    "In addition, I''ve also brought 0.3% of shares from Longting Group!"

    "The total value, fifty million!"

    "What do you have topare with me?"

    He stood with his hands behind his back, then lifted a hand and waved it pretentiously, shouting loudly.

    "Open the boxes¡ª!!"

    "p! p! p!!"

    In an instant, several boxes were opened, and bundles of bright red cash were eye-wateringly dazzling! Gold bracelets, gold rings, and so on...all just as blindingly shiny.

    But what made them even more envious was the 0.3% of shares from Longting Group!

    Longting Group, was a top financial consortium in Jiangcheng, with a market value of tens of billions, even a mere 0.3% of shares was worth tens of millions!

    Xu Jiang looked at the share transfer agreement and immediately his eyes turned red with greed.

    "Excellent, Mr. Wu really goes big, unlike some poverty-stricken ghosts who just open their mouths and dare toe to the Xu Family to propose marriage! It''s downrightughable!"

    Xu Muge''s cousin Xu Zilong also sneered, "Grandfather is right, any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can climb up to our Xu Family, it''s utterly ridiculous, they don''t even take a look at themselves in the mirror!"

    Xu Zilong''s sister Xu Huanhuan scoffed, "Xu Muge, this is the man you''ve chosen? What poor taste! Not even fit to carry Mr. Wu''s shoes!"

    Although she was jealous that Xu Muge was favored by Mr. Wu, Xu Huanhuan was clear in her heart that the dowry Wu Xiaolong brought would ultimately end up in their hands! So naturally, it was best if Xu Muge could fetch a high price.

    If Xu Muge really married this pauper Qin Jiang, what money would they stand to gain?

    Xu Muge bit her red lips tightly, holding onto Qin Jiang''s hand firmly!

    Wu Xiaolong advanced fiercely, pointing at Qin Jiang and taunting, "See this? A ring fifty million in cash! Have you ever seen so much money in your life?"

    "What do you have to y with me? Better scram, and don''t embarrass yourself here!"

    Qin Jiangughed derisively, "Just fifty million, and you''re proud to show it off?"

    Wu Xiaolong was momentarily stunned, then shouted angrily, "A pauper who can''t even pull out a few thousand from his pocket dares to say my dowry is not enough? That''s a real joke!"

    "Fine, I''d like to see what you''ve brought today to propose with!"

    "If what you bring out is more valuable than mine... I''ll withdraw immediately, bow to you, and call you ''Dad'' three times!"

    "If you can''t bring out anything..."

    A fierce glint shed in Wu Xiaolong''s eyes, "I''ll break one of your legs!"

    "Alright then," Qin Jiang responded coolly.

    "Qin Jiang, don''t bother with him," Xu Muge said worriedly, hurriedly interjecting.

    Qin Jiang didn''t say anything more, instead, he directly took out the Star Moon Ne he had prepared earlier, and as soon as the ne was revealed, those present widened their eyes!

    This ne, why does it look so familiar?

    "Muge, your favorite Star Moon Ne, I''ve brought it back for you! Because of me, you pawned your favorite ne back then..."

    "Now, let me put it on for you personally!"

    Star Moon?

    Everyone was stunned!

    This was the treasure of Shen''s Jewelry, now a priceless gem worth hundreds of millions!

    The value of a single ne was enough topletely overshadow all of Wu Xiaolong''s betrothal gifts!

    Wu Xiaolong''s face was filled with disbelief, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Your ne must be fake! Even I can''t buy the Star Moon Ne! Are you even qualified?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Just because you''re not qualified doesn''t mean I''m not."

    Wu Xiaolong gritted his teeth, "It must be fake, Muge, don''t be deceived by him!"

    Xu Muge said coldly, "Even if it''s fake, I still like it!"

    Then, she closed her eyes, somewhat shyly, "Qin Jiang, please put it on for me!"

    Qin Jiang put the ne on her with deep affection.

    This made Wu Xiaolong clench his fists even tighter, almost jumping with rage!

    Xu Huanhuan immediately scolded, "You can afford a ne worth hundreds of millions? It must be fake! I want to check the goods and see what kind of junk you''re using to trick us!"

    She stepped forward to snatch the ne from Xu Muge''s neck!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned icy, and he pped a certificate onto her blushing face!

    "This is the anti-fake certificate from Shen''s Jewelry, open your damn eyes and see clearly!"

    "p!"

    Xu Huanhuan''s face stung from the p, and she grimaced in pain.

    She quickly grabbed the anti-fake certificate to check, but after several inspections, she found no traces of forgery, and indeed, there was the anti-fake seal of Shen''s Jewelry!

    "It... It seems to be real!"

    Her face turned deathly pale, nearly copsing with fright! A ne worth a generation''s fortune, who could afford such luxury? Even the great families of Jiangcheng didn''t have these kinds of assets!

    Wu Xiaolongughed coldly, "Just because you say it''s real, doesn''t make it real. I won''t be convinced until you show some solid evidence, Mr. Wu!"

    "Otherwise, I still want one of your legs, and the bodyguards I brought with me are not here to mess around."

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "The ne is just an appetizer, my betrothal gift is beyond your imagination."

    Just then, another resonant voice came from outside, "We''ve heard that there is a happy event at the Xu family today, Mr. Shen has instructed us to personally deliver a grand gift!"

    As the booming voice faded, everyone''s heart skipped a beat, Shen Longting, sending a grand gift?

    Then, as they watched in astonishment and shock, a man stepped in.

    He was followed by a group of people.

    Wu Xiaolong was immediately moved, could it be that Shen Longting knew he wasing to propose today and had sent someone to show his support?

    The people of the Xu family were even more ttered, hurrying forward to greet them, "Mr. Shen''s generous gift, our Xu family is truly honored!"

    They also felt extremely emotional, never expecting Wu Xiaolong to have such great influence, to the point that Shen Longting himself would send a gift for their door''s appearance!

    Seeing everyone''s admiring and reverent gazes, Wu Xiaolong was even more proud, puffing up with arrogance, "Qin Jiang, do you see? This is the influence of Mr. Wu!"

 Chapter 32: 32: Scrambling Away in Panic, Xu Muges Conditions!

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang sneered, "You won''t beughing for long."

    Under everyone''s scorching gazes,

    the man spoke solemnly, "Now, let''s begin designating the betrothal gifts."

    "Dowry, in cash 88.88 million!"

    "Plus eight thousand taels of gold!"

    "Metallic jewelry including gold bracelets, gold hairpins, emperor''s jade ne with jadeite, and a dragon and phoenix love lock... totaling 52 million! Symbolizing perfect harmony andsting love!"

    "Lastly, presenting a contract personally drafted by Mr. Shen, a coboration project worth one hundred million!"

    "Hiss!"

    The words ''one hundred million'' shocked everyone present on the spot.

    "Hahaha¡ª" Wu Xiaolong was exceptionally proud, "I knew Uncle Shen dotes on me! Qin Jiang, did you see that? I''m working with sums of tens and hundreds of millions easily, what can you possibly bring topete with me?"

    No sooner had he finished speaking than the man''s voice reached everyone''s ears.

    "Mr. Shen presents a gift totaling two hundred million!"

    "Wishing..."

    "Mr. Qin Jiang and Miss Xu Muge the greatest fortune on your engagement, harmonious as the strings of a lute and zither, an evesting union¡ª"

    When thest word dropped, a dead silence suddenly fell over the room!

    Wishing... Qin Jiang?

    Everyone was stunned, their brains unable to process the information. Had they heard wrong?

    Wu Xiaolong''s head buzzed with noise as his fury spiked, and he yelled, "What the hell are you doing? You even got my name wrong!"

    The man stated indifferently, "Sorry, Mr. Wu, but we didn''t make any mistake."

    "The gift from Mr. Shen is indeed for Mr. Qin."

    After this confirmation, the Xu Family erupted once again.

    Wu Xiaolong was utterly bewildered.

    Shen Longting was giving this guy a gift?

    Then, the man holding a contract approached Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin! Our task isplete; we will take our leave now."

    The people sent by Shen Longting promptly exited the Xu Family residence at a rapid pace.

    Qin Jiang signed the contract, and handed it to Xu Muge, "Muge, take this."

    "You decide what to do with this contract."

    Xu Muge took a deep breath, holding back the storm of shock in her heart!

    Why on earth had Shen Longting suddenly sent such a generous gift?

    How had Qin Jiang managed it?

    Not just her, everyone present was buzzing with disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity.

    However, as the shock hung in the air, Wu Xiaolong, enraged, kicked a chair, "Dammit! You Xu Family are ying me for a fool, aren''t you?"

    Seeing Wu Xiaolong''s anger, Xu Jiang and the others were trembling with fear, "Mr. Wu..."

    "Go f*ck your mother!"

    Wu Xiaolong''s face twisted menacingly, "I don''t care, I''m here today, and Xu Muge can only belong to me! Qin Jiang, I''m giving you one chance to get lost! Right now, I''m going to take my bride to bed, I need to check the merchandise!"

    "If you don''t get lost, I''m going to kill you."

    Seeing him spouting obscenities, Qin Jiang struck him across the face, knocking his teeth out, and then grabbed his hair and smashed his head against the table!

    "Ahh¡ª!"

    Wu Xiaolong screamed like a ughtered pig, "Attack! Get him, kill him!"

    His henchmen charged forward, howling!

    Qin Jiang sneered dismissively, striking like lightning, knocking down each of theseckeys with a single punch. Then, his icy gaze fell upon Wu Xiaolong!

    The Xu Family was horrified, shouting, "Qin Jiang, have you lost your mind? Let go of Mr. Wu right now! Do you want to bring disaster on us?!"

    Qin Jiang, however, turned a deaf ear, and slowly exerted force on Wu Xiaolong''s arm...

    "Ah¡ª!" Wu Xiaolong wailed, "Let go! Let go! It''s going to break..."

    "Just now, you said you lost and called me something, didn''t you?" Qin Jiang''s tone was ice-cold, "Now I''m giving you a chance to say it! You can choose not to, but if you don''t, I will break your hand!"

    Daring to humiliate his woman, Qin Jiang naturally wanted to teach him a lesson!

    Wu Xiaolong hurriedly begged for mercy, "I''ll say it! I''ll say it now¡­ Daddy!"

    His face was filled with humiliation.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Say it louder, I can''t hear you."

    He applied a bit more force...

    "Daddy! Daddy!" Wu Xiaolong immediately shouted, his eyes wishing they could tear Qin Jiang apart!

    "Get lost!"

    Qin Jiang kicked him away, making him fall t on his face, "Remember, Muge is not a woman you can covet. If you dare to harbor any ill intentions towards her again, I will cripple you."

    Wu Xiaolong scrambled up from the ground in a disgraceful state, shooting resentful nces at Qin Jiang, then swept a cold gaze over everyone present, "All of you damn wait for Mr. Wu''s revenge!"

    "I will make you regret it!"

    After throwing down those harsh words, Wu Xiaolong left the ce with hisckeys in a tumble.

    "Qin Jiang!" Xu Jiang''s old face was aze with fury, "You actually dared toy a hand on Mr. Wu, you must be tired of living. Not only are you done for now, but our Xu Family has also been ruined by you!"

    He had not expected Qin Jiang to be so audacious as to treat Mr. Wu in such a manner!

    Xu Zilong also roared, "You''d better go and kneel before Mr. Wu to beg for mercy right away, don''t drag our Xu Family into this, you jinx!"

    They were in a panic, it was obvious that Wu Xiaolong now hated the Xu Family as well!

    The Xu Family had already be so deste that it had fallen out of the second-tier family ranks while Wu Xiaolong''s father was the secondrgest shareholder of the Longting Group, with immense power. He could simply utter a word to leave the Xu Family with no ce to bury their dead!

    Now they were finished...

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "What does that have to do with me? This is the disaster your Xu Family brought upon itself."

    "You¡ª" The members of the Xu Family were so angry they could spit blood.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "I haven''t even settled the score with you for imprisoning Muge."

    The members of the Xu Family, seeing Qin Jiang''s frosty expression, were filled with both fear and anger.

    Xu Muge said sternly, "Grandfather, with so many betrothal gifts in front of you now, why are you still thinking about Wu Xiaolong''s measly offerings?"

    Upon hearing this, Xu Jiang fell silent.

    "Someone, take these gifts!"

    He gestured with a wave of his hand.

    "Hold on!" Qin Jiang said coldly, "This is the betrothal gift, and you haven''t even agreed to the marriage yet, but you want to ept the gift? Isn''t that a bit too funny?"

    Xu Jiang''s old face darkened, "Betrothal gift? Keep dreaming, this ispensation to our Xu Family! You''ve cost our Xu Family the chance of a lifetime to rise to greatness, and thesepensations, are still far from enough for our losses!"

    Seeing Xu Jiang acting so shamelessly, Xu Muge''s face also darkened, "In that case, Qin Jiang, take these things back, I''ll tear up this contract worth over a hundred million."

    With that, she made a motion as though she would tear the contract into pieces!

    "You wouldn''t dare!"

    Xu Jiang panicked, as this was a contract worth over a hundred million! How could he bear to tear it up?

    Xu Muge said indifferently, "If you don''t ept Qin Jiang, do you still have the audacity to take the betrothal gifts he sent?"

    "If you don''t agree to my engagement with Qin Jiang, then you won''t get any of this cash, gold, or the contract worth a hundred million!"

    Xu Jiang said, "Fine, I agree."

    Anyway, Qin Jiang had already offended Wu Xiaolong, and Wu Xiaolong wasn''t someone who would let him off easily. He agreed for now to secure these possessions before anything else.

    If one day something happened to Qin Jiang, Xu Muge would still need to find another partner, wouldn''t she?

    As for why Qin Jiang could have Shen Longting bring such a generous gift, Xu Jiang guessed that it was most likely due to a favor left by his father.

    Now, that favor was used up.

    After all, these items were quite valuable, even the greatest favor would be settled with this!

    Xu Muge said indifferently, "I have one more condition."

    Suppressing his rage, Xu Jiang said, "Speak."

    Xu Muge spoke deliberately, "I want to return to the Xu Group as CEO."

 Chapter 33: 33: The Wager, Master!

    The words had barely fallen when Xu Zilong and his sister Xu Huanhuan''s faces underwent a drastic change!

    "Absolutely not!"

    Qin Jiang said, "These things are worth several hundred million, can''t they be exchanged for a CEO position? Forget it, Muge, let''s just take these things and cash out to start our ownpany and make a big ssh!"

    Upon hearing this, Xu Jiangpletely panicked, "Directly taking over as CEO isn''t quite in line with the rules, after all, Zilong is currently the CEO of thepany! You can''t just rece him whenever you say so, can you?"

    Xu Muge also said with a stern face, "Then Grandpa, what do we do now? This dowry can''t just be given to the Xu Family for nothing! Absolutely impossible!"

    Xu Jiang, seeing her determined attitude, pondered and said, "You and Zilong will both act as the CEOs of Xu Group."

    "Soon, we Xu Group have been wanting to cooperate with Zhao Corporation, but there''s been no progress! Whoever secures cooperation with Zhao Corporation will be the CEO of thepany, how about that?"

    Upon hearing this, Xu Huanhuan and the rest immediately panicked, "Grandpa, that''s not right!"

    The biggest reliance of the Xu Family was the Xu Group!

    How could they agree to Xu Muge returning to the Xu Family''spany as the CEO? The Xu Group was under their control now, why would they willingly hand it over to someone else?

    "Shut up!" Old Mr. Xu shouted angrily, ring fiercely at them.

    Old Mr. Xu was weighing his options. With all these thingsid out before him, he couldn''t possibly refuse them! Moreover, Xu Muge''s business capabilities were not bad; maybe she really could revitalize the Xu Group!

    No matter the oue, he would be profiting without any loss!!

    Xu Jinlong looked at Xu Muge with a pleading gaze.

    Xu Muge knew her father valued family above all. No matter how unsatisfactory Xu Jiang was, he was her father, and no matter how unworthy the Xu Family was, it was the ce where she grew up!

    For the past three years, Xu Jinhong''s greatest wish was to return to the Xu Family...

    And for the Xu Group, she had also poured a lot of effort into it; this was another reason why she was so determined to return to Xu Group!

    Xu Muge looked at Qin Jiang hesitantly.

    "Fine, we ept the conditions you''ve proposed," Qin Jiang said, nodding indifferently.

    Zhao Corporation?

    This reminded him of the Zhao couple in prison.

    Ever since his release, he hadn''t had the chance to meet Zhao Yuefei face to face, and he still hadn''t delivered thest letter entrusted to him by Zhao Corporation.

    This was the perfect opportunity to meet her!

    Upon hearing that Qin Jiang had boldly epted the challenge, Xu Jiang also became somewhat excited, showing an eagerness, "Muge, bring the contract over for Grandpa to see.

    Xu Muge, clenching her teeth, handed the contract to Xu Jiang!

    Xu Zilong and his sister sneered, "We wish you sess then. Mrs. Zhao isn''t easy to deal with, you know. Do you think it''s that simple? Thepanies she cooperates with are allrge corporations and enterprises! Have you even considered what capital you have to cooperate with her?"

    Zhao Yuefei, famously known as the iron-blooded and cool beauty of Jiangcheng, is decisive and ruthless in the business world, just as unapproachable in her private life!

    Thinking about cooperation, as if it were that simple?

    Their chances of even entering Zhao Corporation''s gates before being thrown out seemed slim...

    Just then, Xu Zilong''s phone rang, and he answered it quickly.

    His face gradually darkened.

    After hanging up, he said to Xu Jiang, "Grandpa, something bad has happened, someone from thepany just called, saying that the second shareholder of Longting Group has issued a ban on Xu Group!"

    "Now,pany afterpany has been canceling their cooperation with us..."

    "Moreover, Mr. Wu has stated that if he''s to calm his anger, Xu Muge should wash herself clean and be sent to his bed for his amusement! And Qin Jiang must personally go to Longting Group and kneel before him and his son, to be disposed of at their will!"

    "Otherwise, this matter isn''t over!!"

    He said with a face full of schadenfreude, "Qin Jiang, you better just pray for your own luck now!"

    And a chilling look shed in Qin Jiang''s eyes as well; it seemed the lesson he had given them before wasn''t enough!

    Xu Jiang said coldly, "Qin Jiang, you''re the one who caused this trouble, clean up your own mess. If you can''t solve it, I''ll have Muge take care of it!"

    Xu Muge bit her red lips tightly. She understood what Xu Jiang meant; for her to meet Wu Xiaolong on her own was tantamount to being devouredpletely, wasn''t it?

    How could she possibly go?

    Qin Jiang didn''t say much, but responded indifferently, "I will take care of Wu Xiaolong myself!"

    Even if Xu Jiang hadn''t mentioned it, Qin Jiang would have taught Wu Xiaolong a painful lesson regardless!

    "All right, you all can get out," Xu Jiang waved his hand dismissively. "Come back when you''ve dealt with these issues. The Xu Family does not wee the ineffectual."

    A shadow of gloom shed in his eyes.

    Wu Xiaolong''s father, Wu Tianyun, was the secondrgest shareholder of Longting Group. In Jiangcheng, he was also a ruthless figure, one of the veterans who conquered the business world alongside Shen Longting!

    Moreover, it was said that Wu Tianyun had a retired elite soldier as a bodyguard, highly skilled inbat! Now that Qin Jiang had provoked him, whether he could live to tell the tale was in question!

    Qin Jiang and Xu Muge, along with their group, were driven out.

    Liu Yained, "Muge, why did you agree to your grandfather''s conditions? Wouldn''t it have been better for us to take the money and enjoy ourselves? It wouldn''t matter if we never returned to the Xu Family!"

    Xu Jinlong said, "It''s ok, let it be. Muge has her own thoughts."

    Liu Ya, still unhappy, spoke up again, "And you, Qin Jiang! You boasted that you could help Muge resolve these issues. If you can''t, then don''t ever show your face to Muge again, you troublemaker!"

    "Do you even understand how difficult it is to coborate with the Zhao Corporation?"

    "Do you really think just having the ability is enough?"

    "When the timees, not only will those extravagant dowries have been given to the Xu Family for nothing, but if you can''t aplish what Old Mr. Xu asked for, Muge won''t even be able to be president of Xu Group!"

    "We will end up with nothing!"

    "Have you lost your mind to pigs?"

    Qin Jiang replied earnestly, "Auntie, rest assured, I will make sure the coboration with Zhao Corporation is secured. I already have a n in mind, so there is no need to worry."

    "All talk and no action, I hope you can really do it!" said Liu Ya huffily as she walked away.

    "Qin Jiang, I''m sorry, my mom is just like that, don''t take it too personally," Xu Muge apologetically looked at Qin Jiang and, after soothing a few words, quickly followed after.

    Qin Jiang revealed a smile. He could feel that after this incident, Xu Muge''s attitude toward him was no longer that icy cold demeanor!

    This was a good sign!

    At this change, he was already content.

    Xu Muge added, "I''ll handle the Zhao Corporation myself. You don''t have to trouble yourself with it."

    She didn''t believe Qin Jiang had the ability to secure the cooperation with the Zhao Corporation.

    Shen Longting''s intervention this time was probably out of respect for Qin Jiang''s father, whereas the Zhao Corporation had no prior rtions with the Qin Family!

    Qin Jiang did not say much else; when he would secure Zhao Yuefeiter on, he would then talk to Xu Muge, for anything he said now would not be believed.

    "Alright, you should rest a bit," Qin Jiang advised before bidding farewell, then took out his phone and made a call to Shen Longting, "I need to make a trip to Longting Group. Notify them, let Wu Xiaolong and his sone see me."

    Qin Jiang''s eyes were cold. This guy had the audacity to brag about sending Xu Muge to his bed for his amusement? Who gave him such courage!

    Inside Longting Group headquarters.

    Wu Xiaolong''s face was swollen and bruised, and with a tearful expression, heined to a middle-aged man.

    "Dad, that guy was too arrogant. You have to teach him a lesson! Look how swollen my face is..."

    Wu Tianyun replied coldly, "Don''t worry, I''ve already ordered a ban on the Xu Family. They''ll soon buckle under the pressure, and Xu Muge will obedientlye to us. As for that guy, I''ll have Fengdao take care of him."

    Fengdao was Wu Tianyun''s personal bodyguard, an elite soldier from a top military unit.

    Wu Xiaolong was overjoyed, his grin twisted as he said, "Good. Tell Fengdao to quickly cripple him and bring him before me. I want to torture him properly!"

    Just then, Wu Tianyun''s phone rang. "Hello? Chairman! What? Our Master wants to see us father and son? Alright, alright, we''ll get ready right away!"

    After hanging up, Wu Tianyun''s face lit up with ecstasy, "Son, we''ve struck it big! The Master behind Longting Group wants to see us!"

 Chapter 34: 34 Qin Jiang?!

    Hearing this, Wu Xiaolong was also thrilled. He was a bit astonished, "Master? Who is that?"

    Wu Tianyun said excitedly, "The Master is now the behind-the-scenes controller of Longting Group!"

    "Mr. Shen is merely one of his subordinates!"

    Having followed Shen Longting for so many years, as his right-hand man, he knew very well that the reason Longting Group could rise so quickly was that Shen Longting had the support of a powerful force behind him!

    Shen Longting had once hinted that that person was a terrifying existence, and their Master was likewise an extremely formidable person!

    Now that the Master had asked to meet him, could it be that he was about to entrust him with a significant responsibility?

    At this thought, he was so excited that his hands were trembling!

    "That awesome?" Wu Tianyun''s words greatly shocked Wu Xiaolong.

    This Master had an incredibly terrifying background!

    Wu Tianyun said gravely, "We should both get cleaned up before we go, look at the state of you, all bruised and swollen. What would the Master think if he saw you like this?"

    "Also, remember to act properly once you''re there! If you can please the Master, your future will be bright!"

    "Okay, Dad, I''ll definitely do a good job licking his boots," Wu Xiaolong said excitedly!

    "I sent the kid''s photo to Wind de. Soon, you''ll get the information you want. There''s no rush right now, let''s meet the Master first."

    Hearing this, Wu Xiaolong finally showed a smile and said coldly, "When the timees, I''ll have him tied up and y with Xu Muge, that bitch, right in front of him!"

    Wu Tianyun''s expression darkened slightly, "All right, all right, go put on some makeup and cover up your injuries."

    Meanwhile, below.

    Qin Jiang stepped towards Longting Group.

    Just then, a young man in a trench coat with a fierce gaze was walking from the opposite direction. Suddenly, the man''s eyes focused sharply, pausing in his tracks, his gaze sharp as a knife de, resting on Qin Jiang!

    "Are you Qin Jiang?!"

    Qin Jiang was slightly stunned!

    "It seems I haven''t mistaken the person."

    Before Qin Jiang could answer, the man had already thrown a punch at him. He barely dodged, and immediately afterward, a torrent of attacks rained down on him like a storm!

    Qin Jiang grabbed the man''s arm and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

    Wind de said coldly, "You hit Mr. Wu, our Mr. Wu ordered me to capture you and bring you back. I didn''t expect you to actually dare to show up! This makes it easier for me!"

    "A man of Wu Xiaolong?" Knowing this, Qin Jiang understood.

    At that moment, Fengdao suddenly produced a dagger and stabbed directly at Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang grabbed the hand holding the knife and swiftly twisted it, causing Fengdao''s arm to snap with a crack, pain surging through him as he reflexively kicked at Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang''s foot struck!

    Crack...

    One of Fengdao''s legs broke cleanly, causing him to grunt in pain.

    "Too weak," Qin Jiang said disdainfully, shaking his head as he delivered several punches, striking Fengdao hard in the chest and head, knocking him out on the spot!

    Qin Jiang picked him up as if he were a small chicken.

    Shen Longting also came down from Longting Group, nervously greeting Qin Jiang, "Master!"

    This scene left the people of Longting Group dumbstruck!

    What was going on?

    Why was their chairman so respectful to a young man?

    Who was this youth!

    "Let''s go up," Qin Jiang said indifferently, dropping Wind de at his feet, "This guy was sent by Wu Xiaolong and his son to deal with me."

    Shen Longting became furiously angry, trembling with rage, "They are asking for death!"

    Some ten minutester, Wu Xiaolong and his father were extremely excited as they headed to the office.

    They knew their chance hade! If they could really make the Master happy, perhaps they too could have an opportunity, like Shen Longting, to soar high from then on!

    At that time, wouldn''t Jiangcheng be theirs to rule?

    Thinking this, the father and son suppressed the tumult in their hearts and came to the outside of the office, knocking on the door.

    "Mr. Shen!"

    "Come in," came the somber voice of Shen Longting from inside.

    Only then did the father and son enter with trepidation.

    However, upon entering, they saw Shen Longting''s extremely dark expression, and a person lying unconscious on the floor!

    "Fengdao?!"

    Seeing Fengdao who had passed out, the father and son were taken aback!

    Fengdao was supposed to go after Qin Jiang for them, so how did he end up here? They suppressed the inner storm and then turned their gaze to the figure seated in the office chair!

    The figure was turned away from them, yet it radiated a terrifying pressure.

    Shen Longting stood.

    And the young man sat!

    Their respective statuses were immediately obvious!

    Wu Xiaolong trembled, why did this figure seem so familiar?

    It was at this moment that Qin Jiang slowly turned his head around.

 Chapter 35: 35: Self-Mutilation of a Leg, Chaos at Dragon Gate!

    "Qin Jiang?!"

    Seeing Qin Jiang''s true face, Wu Xiaolong''s legs instantly turned to jelly, and he copsed to the ground!

    Wu Tianyun''s face also turned deathly pale, never expecting that the Master they had been eager to grovel before was actually Qin Jiang! And to make matters worse, they had just sent people to cripple him!

    This was the end...

    Their faces suddenly turned ashen.

    At that moment, Qin Jiang''s gaze grew increasingly cold, "What was it that you said before? That my woman should ''clean herself up and deliver herself'' to your doorstep, and that I shoulde here to kneel down and beg for mercy?"

    He sneered, "Well, now I am here. How about, I kneel for you now?"

    "We wouldn''t dare, we wouldn''t dare!"

    Wu Tianyun trembled all over, then thudded to his knees before Qin Jiang.

    "We were blind, we were foolish, we hope the Master will not me us."

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "A simple apology will suffice?"

    Wu Tianyun''s lips turned white, "At the Master''s disposal!"

    He knew that in front of Qin Jiang, he had absolutely no power to resist.

    Now, the only thing they could do was to appease Qin Jiang''s anger.

    Otherwise, they wouldn''t even know how they died.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Then each of you leave behind a leg."

    Upon hearing this, the two men''s faces turned white!

    Shen Longting, with an expressionless face, tossed a baseball bat down at their feet, "Old Wu, do it yourself. The Master sparing your life is already your good fortune."

    "Don''t seek your own death."

    When Wu Tianyun heard this, he sighed deeply, then picked up the baseball bat and struck his own leg! The immense pain almost made him pass out on the spot...

    "Master, is it enough?"

    "Not yet!" Qin Jiang''s cold gaze fell on Wu Xiaolong.

    Wu Xiaolong was so scared he was nearly peeing himself, "Master, I...I was wrong."

    "An apology isn''t enough!" Qin Jiang''s tone ice-cold, "Don''t force me to do it myself!"

    Wu Xiaolong was shivering all over.

    And Wu Tianyun barked sternly, "Won''t you do it yourself?"

    "Dad, I''m afraid of the pain!" Wu Xiaolong''s voice trembled as he spoke.

    Seeing Qin Jiang''s ever-colder gaze, Wu Tianyun, dragging his injured leg, brought the bat down on Wu Xiaolong! Wu Xiaolong let out a pitiful howl as his leg bone broke, the pain making his eyes roll back as he passed out...

    "Master, is it enough now?" Wu Tianyun asked in a low, servile voice.

    Qin Jiang''s voice cold, "Considering the many years you''ve followed Little Shen, I''ll let you off this time. Get lost!"

    "Yes, yes, yes¡ª"

    Enduring the agony, Wu Tianyun dragged the unconscious Wu Xiaolong out of the office.

    After they left.

    Shen Longting asked respectfully, "Master, when do you n to officially take over Longting Group?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head, "You arrange a time. I''ve been too busytely, I don''t have time to handle it, and even if I take over, I''d just be behind the scenes."

    "Understood," Shen Longting said with a smile.

    Qin Jiang patted his shoulder, "Longting Group is your life''s work; manage it well. Even if I take over, you will always be the core of Longting Group."

    "I must go now, I still need to look after Mom and my sister."

    That evening, Wen Wenling and Qin Sisi were feeling much better and didn''t want to stay in the hospital anymore, so Qin Jiang had no choice but to take them home.

    The next day.

    Jiangcheng received a call from Xu Muge.

    A smile spread across Jiangcheng''s face, filled with joy. Their rtionship had eased considerably by now; at least, Xu Muge was now willing to take the initiative to contact him.

    Xu Muge tentatively said, "Jiangcheng, I have returned to work at the Xu Group today. There has been some trouble, and I need to go to the construction siteter to resolve this issue..."

    "I''lle to the Xu Group to find you so we can go over together. Wait for me," he replied.

    A sense of security rose in Xu Muge''s heart, but she retorted with feigned pride, "I didn''t ask you toe."

    Jiangcheng didn''t argue with her, replying affectionately, "Alright, alright! It''s my own decision toe, okay?"

    "Hmph! Come or don''t, it''s up to you," Xu Muge said, before hanging up the call.

    Jiangcheng went straight to the Xu Group by taxi.

    As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the siblings Xu Huanhuaning out.

    "Pfft¡ª"

    Xu Huanhuan chuckled with disdain, "I thought it was someone of importance, but it''s just you, the forsaken hound."

    "The betrothal gifts you sent yesterday were quite valuable. I thought you were truly formidable. As it turns out, you don''t even have a decent car for transportation."

    "Indeed, grandfather saw right through his tricks long ago. It''s probably only for his father''s sake that Mr. Shen wouldvish such generous gifts on him!"

    Jiangcheng''s father had indeed been a figure of note in Jiangcheng back in the day.

    But having been missing for over a decade, both Jiangcheng and his siblings, as well as their mother, had been cast out by the Qin Family. The little goodwill that remained from his father, what use was it now?

    Nowadays, Jiangcheng was essentially seen as a pariah that everyone shunned.

    Faced with their mockery, Jiangcheng couldn''t be bothered to respond, heading straight into thepany to find Xu Muge.

    Xu Huanhuan snorted coldly, "It seems Mr. Shen still cherishes the past to some extent, otherwise, he wouldn''t have suddenly ordered the lifting of the restrictions on the Xu Family, allowing that guy to escape unscathed from Wu''s clutches."

    "However, the favor his father left behind is likely all used up now..."

    "For the uing issues, I''m curious to see how they handle it!"

    Jiangcheng''s father had truly been a notable person in Jiangcheng, but once he left, the warmth faded with him. Having been missing for over a decade, the families who owed him favors had long since turned their backs.

    Like the Xu Family, for instance, they couldn''t be bothered to give Jiangcheng another look after seeing his decline.

    The same went for everyone else.

    Shen Longting, probably out of fear of gossip, had given face to Jiangcheng''s father, but there was no way he would help Jiangcheng anymore after this.

    No matter what difficultiesy ahead, it was now up to Jiangcheng to face them alone, especially since the people causing trouble at their construction site were no ordinary individuals.

    Once Jiangcheng entered thepany, he saw Xu Muge walking towards him with a deeply furrowed brow.

    "Muge!"

    Jiangcheng called out, prompting Xu Muge to cast aside her worries, "Let''s go."

    "This time, those troublemakers, the siblings asked me to handle it. They''re definitely trying to make things difficult for me. If I can''t handle it well, they''ll surely find some pretext to impeach me in front of grandfather!"

    Xu Muge knew that her rtionship with the Xu Family was tense and she absolutely could not afford to give them any ammunition.

    "Don''t worry, I''m here!"

    Jiangcheng said calmly, "No matter who tries to bully you, I''ll be ready to smash their heads in with a punch."

    Xu Muge felt delighted inside, yet she feigned disgust, "Smooth talker."

    The two of them took a taxi and headed straight to the construction site. Upon arrival, Jiangcheng caught sight of a huge crowd, easily numbering in the hundreds.

    The workers at the site were intimidated by the mob''s presence and didn''t dare to step forward.

    And the moment Jiangcheng entered, all eyes were focused on the pair!

 Chapter 36: 36: Resolving Hidden Dangers!

    Seeing this group of people, Qin Jiang''s lips curled with a hint of disdain, a bunch of worthless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, simply too weak to withstand a single blow!

    Relying on numbers to cause trouble here?

    Seeking death!

    Xu Muge, seeing so many opponents, felt some fear in her heart, but Qin Jiang took her hand, giving her an invisible sense of security!

    A burly man with a broad back and thick waist stepped forward, his face brazenly dering, "Allow me to introduce myself; I am one of the three giants of Dragon Gate, the Golden Python Dragon!"

    He sneered, "Our master has said, this piece of turf lies within our domain, and we''d like to collect a little management fee¡ªisn''t that reasonable?"

    Xu Muge coldly said, "Management fee? Impossible! This isnd the Xu Family obtained through our own efforts, legally and properly. Why should we pay you a management fee?"

    "If you continue to cause trouble, we will have to call the Patrol Officers to deal with this!"

    Hearing this, the Golden Python Dragon sneered, "Miss Xu, don''t be impulsive. After all, our many brothers here, the Patrol House wouldn''t be able to contain them all, right?"

    "Furthermore, Miss Xu, by acting this way, aren''t you afraid of any idents happening?"

    He stared icily at Xu Muge.

    Xu Muge coldly said, "We live in awful society; what you are doing is hardly appropriate, is it?"

    "Dragon Gate may be the top underworld power in Jiangcheng, but shouldn''t there be some reason in your actions?"

    "Hahaha!" Upon hearing these words, the Golden Python Dragon''s lips curled with a sneer, "Miss Xu, since you know that Dragon Gate is the leading underworld force in Jiangcheng, why are you still insisting on fighting us to the death?"

    "Isn''t it better to spend money to avert disaster?"

    "We''re not asking for much!"

    "Just that the Xu Family is willing to give out one billion in cash, or share half of the profits from the development of thisnd with us! We guarantee that with Dragon Gate''s protection, no one would daree to your doorstep looking for trouble!"

    Xu Muge outrightughed in anger¡ªweren''t they the ones showing up and causing trouble?

    However, Dragon Gate''s power was enormous, and they were extremely ruthless in their actions.

    How could the Xu Family possibly be a match for them?

    Being targeted by them was truly unlucky.

    But to hand over money for nothing and be taken for fools¡ªthey would never be so idiotic as to do such a thing.

    "We will never agree to your conditions! Stop dreaming!"

    The Golden Python Dragon sneered, "Miss Xu, are you serious in rejecting us so decisively?"

    "We aren''t here to joke with you."

    "After all, Miss Xu is exceedingly beautiful. Going out... could be very dangerous, you know!"

    Having said that, he revealed a fierce grin and stepped forward, his face lecherously intent on lifting Xu Muge''s chin.

    However, arge hand immediately clenched around his wrist!

    "Who gave you the courage to touch her!" Qin Jiang said coldly.

    The Golden Python Dragon''s eyes darkened upon hearing this, "You''re courting death, kid!"

    After speaking, he threw a punch at Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang raised his hand, capturing the other fist firmly in his grip.

    The Golden Python Dragon suddenly felt as if his strength had plunged into the sea,pletely unable to exert even a fraction of it!

    "You¡ª"

    He struggled fiercely to free his hands, only to find he waspletely unable to do so!

    "Scram!" Qin Jiang twisted his arms until they crackled, breaking both of them, then mmed his foot onto his head, pushing it into the ground!

    The Golden Python Dragon felt as if his head was about to burst from the intense pain.

    "Attack! Kill him! Kill him for me!" he roared furiously.

    The members of Dragon Gate, hearing thismand, immediately drew their weapons and charged forth, their immense momentum turning Xu Muge''splexion deathly pale as she hid behind Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang swept through them like a tiger through a flock of sheep, striking precisely at their heads, chests, arms, legs, and other vital parts before they could even react!

    The ones closest to him thudded to the ground one after another, wailing in agony.

    In the blink of an eye, dozens of peopley on the ground, howling in pain!

    "Still want toe forward and court death?" Qin Jiang''s formidable force intimidated the Dragon Gate members, deterring them from advancing!

    "Gurgle!"

    "Gurgle!"

    They swallowed their saliva in secret, and although they had the advantage in numbers, they were too scared by Qin Jiang to move forward.

    "All of you, get lost!"

    Qin Jiang shouted coldly, "Dare toe make trouble again, and next time, everyone will stay here for good!"

    Even though the Golden Python Dragon was reluctant, he knew he was no match for Qin Jiang, and could only scramble up, taking his men and beating a hasty retreat!

    "You''re a dead man!"

    Before leaving, the Golden Python Dragon dropped a chilling line, "It''s not me who wants this ce, it''s our Master. Just you wait, your end ising."

    "Do you really think you, alone, can contend with the entire Dragon Gate?"

    Qin Jiang''s eyes narrowed, "Do you want to stay here forever?"

    The Golden Python Dragon, frightened by the murderous look in Qin Jiang''s eyes, quickly left with his men, tumbling and crawling away.

    Muge''s eyes were also filled with worry, "Qin Jiang, the people from Dragon Gate are not easy to provoke. We could have talked things over, but now I''m afraid it''s a fight to the death."

    "These guys are dirty yers, they''ll stop at nothing, and now that you''ve offended them, I''m afraid they will..."

    Qin Jiang responded with a light smile, "There''s nothing to be afraid of, these guys are in it just for the money. The more we yield, the more they''ll push us around!"

    "You go and calm the workers down first, don''t worry about anything else for now."

    Muge nodded and went off to handle things.

    Meanwhile, Qin Jiang found a quiet ce, and then he dialed Shen Longting''s number, "Shen, where''s the Dragon Gate''sir? Send me the location."

    Shen Longting was taken aback, "Master... Are you nning to?"

    "Take down their stronghold," Qin Jiang said indifferently.

    ...

    After a while, having finished her tasks, Muge sat down beside him and sighed, "It''s been a long time since I''ve felt this tired. It''s fulfilling, and it gives a sense of achievement, much better than just staying at home."

    Qin Jiang tapped her forehead, "You, oh you!"

    Muge proimed, "Zhao Yuefei, Yue Xingyun, these women are heroines among women! I, Muge, will one day stand at that height as well!"

    Determination shone in her eyes.

    Qin Jiang encouraged her with a smile, "I will always be there to support you!"

    With her own capabilities, he believed that as long as the right opportunities came along, Muge would certainly be able to stand at the height she aspired to and look down upon the masses.

    Muge sighed, "Let''s not think too far ahead for now. The biggest mountain in front of me right now is the Zhao Corporation. Trying to partner with Zhao Yuefei is as difficult as reaching the sky! This irondy of the business world in Jiangcheng is really not easy to deal with..."

    Yesterday, she got Zhao Yuefei''s contact information, and before she could even speak, she was hung up on by the secretary!

    "No worries, Zhao Yuefei, I have a way to deal with her," Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Also, I have some matters that require a visit to her as well."

    "You have business with her?" Muge was astonished, "Do you know her?"

    "I don''t, but I know her parents."

    The Zhao Couple were very kind to him in prison, sharing their food with him, tending to his wounds...

    "The Zhao Couple? You actually know them? They''re legends in the business world of Jiangcheng! It''s just a pity..." Muge sighed, "Fortune was not in their favor, and they died young."

    Qin Jiang remained silent; the death of the Zhao Couple was highly suspicious, with a hidden hand behind it. But after so many years, could any clue still be found?

    Soon.

    Shen Longting sent over the address of the Dragon Gate.

    "I''m going to handle some business."

    After bidding Muge farewell, Qin Jiang left the construction site, took a cab, and arrived at Dragon Gate''s headquarters.

    He stepped out of the cab and walked toward the entrance.

    "Kid! This is the Dragon Gate headquarters, not a ce you can barge into. Scram!" two guardsmanded menacingly at the entrance.

    Qin Jiang sent them flying with a kick!

    "Attack! Attack!" The two guardsy on the ground, roaring in agony, enduring the severe pain.

    "Where''s the big boss of Dragon Gate? Come out and face your death!" Qin Jiang bellowed, kicking down the firmly closed gate and walking into the Dragon Gate''s headquarters with his hands behind his back!

 Chapter 37: 37: Submit or Die!

    Thud, thud, thud!!

    A burst of rapid footsteps densely approached, and within a short ten seconds, countless Dragon Gate members had rushed out, ring fiercely at Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes swept over them indifferently, "You are not my opponents, all of you back off! Otherwise, don''t me me when you end up with broken arms and legster!"

    "Kid, you''re the first one with the guts to barge into our Dragon Gate headquarters!"

    "Thest guy who was this arrogant is now sleeping with the fishes in a sack at the bottom of the river!"

    A group of Dragon Gate members red at Qin Jiang with grim eyes.

    Qin Jiang, with a cold face, continued to walk forward, "Whoever blocks me will face the consequences themselves!"

    The Dragon Gate members, furious, wielding weapons, charged at him from all directions!

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    "Bang!"

    Series of thuds sounded, one after another, as bodies flew out like sandbags!

    Qin Jiang, as if strolling leisurely, stepped over the bodies of those Dragon Gate members as he walked forward!

    He pushed forward relentlessly, his momentum as imposing as a rainbow, domineering and tyrannical!

    The field was filled with wails...

    "Who dares to cause trouble at my Dragon Gate!?" The Dragon Gate Sect Master, who was inside the hall, also heard themotion outside and came out with his three top fighters, the Golden Python Dragon among them, with a bruised face and both arms in ster!

    "Sect Master, it''s him!" The moment he saw Qin Jiang, the Golden Python Dragon immediately roared through gritted teeth, "You must not let this kid go!"

    Xu Tianlong''s brows furrowed. Since Dragon Gate had established itself in Jiangcheng, no one had dared to be so rampant, directly invading their stronghold!

    This guy, is he looking for death?

    Thinking this, a serious look shed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "All of you back off!"

    At hismand, the Dragon Gate members all backed away.

    Xu Tianlong''s tiger-like gaze swept over the scene.

    On the groundy arge number of men beaten down by Qin Jiang, all curled up on the ground wailing in pain!

    Qin Jiang''s skills were indeed formidable.

    The ordinary soldiers of Dragon Gate couldn''t even get close to him!

    Xu Tianlong snorted coldly, "Kid, you ruined our work at the Xu Family construction site, and now you have the guts to provoke our Dragon Gate, truly shameless courage!"

    "You won''t leave here alive today! Do you have anyst words?"

    Qin Jiang looked coldly at Xu Tianlong, "You, are the Dragon Gate Sect Master?"

    "That''s right!"

    Xu Tianlong couldn''t help but sneer, "Among the Dragon and Longhu, I am that very Dragon! In the six major underground forces of Jiangcheng, I, Xu Tianlong, am deservedly the number one!"

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "Since you are the master of Dragon Gate, then I won''t waste words with you! I have only one question for you, choose submission, or death?"

    Xu Tianlongughed furiously, "Arrogant!"

    Having said that, he waved his hand, "You two, go and meet him."

    Upon hismand, the two top enforcers besides the Golden Python Dragon drew their daggers and charged straight at Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang grabbed one of them by the arm, then a single elbow strike caused him to suffer heavy damage and pass out on the spot!

    Immediately after, he snatched the dagger and with a swift motion, two streaks of cold light shed by, and the other man''s wrist sprayed blood as his dagger fell to the ground.

    Qin Jiang then kicked him several meters away, where hey on the ground, spitting blood, and also passed out!

    The entire ce fell into a terrifying silence!

    The three top fighters, second only to their Sect Master, were so effortlessly struck down by Qin Jiang?

    This guy was too monstrous!

    Qin Jiang''s gaze turned to the sullen Xu Tianlong, "It''s your turn."

    Xu Tianlong''s expression grew increasingly solemn.

    He could see that Qin Jiang''s strength was not simple!

    As ate-stage Inner Strength expert, he was naturally much stronger than the three top fighters!

    Although Qin Jiang was formidable, he determined that Qin Jiang''s strength was only one level higher than that of the three top fighters!

    Early-stage Inner Strength.

    A Martial Artist undergoes a qualitative transformation when stepping from External Strength into the realm of Inner Strength.

    External Strength cultivates force! Inner Strength cultivates Qi!

    Once an External Strength Martial Artist refines their muscles, bones, and flesh to a certain level, "Inner Strength" can be born within their body, thus being called Inner Strength Martial Artists! Although the difference is only one word, the gap is as vast as heaven and earth!

    "Die!" With that thought, Xu Tianlong''s eyes grew colder, and he stepped forward, suddenly quickening his pace!

    "Whoosh¡ª¡ª"

    In front of the shocked gazes of the numerous Dragon Gate members, he turned into a residual image!

    A sharp breaking sound echoed through the air.

    Immediately after, his fist had already appeared in front of Qin Jiang''s face!

    "Mediocre at best!"

    Qin Jiang simply made a sinctment, then his fingers tightened into a fist and he struck out!

    With a crack, Xu Tianlong''s arm was broken by the punch, and his body flew out at a terrifying speed, crashing heavily onto the ground!

    Defeated in one move!

    Seeing this scene, those Dragon Gate members who were initially agitated all froze in ce.

    Their Sect Master, beaten like this?

    Keep in mind, Xu Tianlong was the top fighter of their Dragon Gate and also one of the top ten in Jiangcheng''s martial arts world, and he was defeated by this kid?

    They couldn''t ept this reality!

    Xu Tianlong also struggled to get up from the ground with a look of shock on his face.

    But, Qin Jiang''s foot was on his chest!

    The Inner Strength went through his chest bones, invading his internal organs and pressing him down to vomit another mouthful of blood!

    Qin Jiang''s tone was icy cold, "I''m asking onest time, choose submission or death?!"

 Chapter 38: 38: Subdue and Come Over to Do the Heavy Lifting!

    The chill in Qin Jiang''s voice made Xu Tianlong''s scalp tingle.

    But in front of so many subordinates, how could he just admit defeat?

    He stiffened his neck and said, "If you have the guts, kill me!"

    "Fine, I''ll kill you and then take over Dragon Gate." Qin Jiang''s indifferent voice fell, and he was about to stomp down!

    At that moment, Xu Tianlong felt an icy chill all over his body and hurriedly yelled, "I submit, I submit!"

    He knew that this young man in front of him truly dared to kill him.

    Only then did Qin Jiang slowly withdraw his foot, and after that, he took out several silver needles from his body.

    He inserted them into Xu Tianlong''s body.

    "Ah¡ª¡ª"

    Xu Tianlong suddenly felt a piercing pain, his whole face contorted.

    However, after Qin Jiang pulled out all the silver needles, the pain that had spread throughout his body immediately vanished without a trace!

    Qin Jiang spoke calmly, "This acupuncture technique will erupt in a year, and if I don''t remove it for you, after it erupts, you will bleed to death from all seven orifices!"

    Xu Tianlong trembled all over.

    Who on earth was this young man in front of him?

    Not only was his martial prowess strong, but he was also proficient in acupuncture?

    He couldn''t doubt Qin Jiang; after all, the few needles Qin Jiang had poked in just now were excruciatingly painful.

    This definitely wasn''t something an ordinary person could achieve!

    He knew that this was Qin Jiang''s method of controlling him; if he disobeyed, it would be a dead end.

    Taking a deep breath, Xu Tianlong said, "Master, from now on, I, Xu Tianlong, am your subordinate, at your disposal! The entire Dragon Gate will look to you as its leader!"

    With his hands behind his back, Qin Jiang said coldly, "In the future, you will still be the Dragon Gate Sect Master! However, you will follow my orders, otherwise, I will make your death a miserable one!"

    "Yes, yes, yes!"

    Xu Tianlong nodded repeatedly.

    After that, Qin Jiang indifferently said, "There are too many people in Dragon Gate, idle and up to no good, bullying men and women every day. Tomorrow, arrange for five hundred people to go to the Xu Family construction site to carry bricks."

    "Ah?" Xu Tianlong was stunned.

    "What, you''re not willing?"

    "No, no, no!" Xu Tianlong, seeing the change in Qin Jiang''s expression, hurriedly said, "Very willing, very willing, I''m a million times willing in my heart!"

    "Then that''s settled!" Qin Jiang said coldly, "Remember, don''t provoke me, or don''t me me for not warning you; you''re responsible for your own life and death, understand?"

    "Understood!" Xu Tianlong revealed a smile more unsightly than crying; how good could anyone feel with their life hanging by a thread?

    But under the current circumstances, besides submitting, what else could he do?

    "Remember my instructions!"

    Qin Jiang left behind a cold remark, and then, he departed from the ce.

    "Aren''t you going to send off the master?!" Xu Tianlong shouted sharply, his gaze sweeping coldly over his subordinates.

    The crowd immediately reacted, shouting in unison, "Farewell, master¡ª¡ª"

    Qin Jiang floated away. After subduing Dragon Gate, the crisis on Muge''s side was also temporarily relieved. He returned home, ready to fetch medicine for Qin Sisi.

    Qin Sisi had already recovered quite a bit.

    But her bones had been severely damaged, and to fully recover, she still needed some potent medicines, such as Century Tiger Bone, Blood Ganoderma, Robust Ox Hericium, and so on...

    These were all extremely rare items!

    Priceless!

    He sent this list to Shen Longting, asking him to leverage his connections and resources to gather them.

    Soon, a day hurriedly passed by.

    The next day!

    Xu Muge came to the construction site with trepidation, only to see arge group of burly men donned in hard hats, sweating buckets as theybored!

    Her face filled with shock, "These people are... from Dragon Gate!?"

    She waspletely dumbfounded on the spot!

    Just then, Golden Python Dragon, wearing a hard hat and still bandaged up, stepped forward and bowed deeply at a ny-degree angle to Xu Muge, "Miss Xu!"

    Seeing the Golden Python Dragon, Xu Muge was startled!

    What was this guy up to?

    Golden Python Dragon quickly exined, "Miss Xu, these are all our people from Dragon Gate!"

    "After Mr. Qin''s guidance yesterday, we deeply realized our mistakes!"

    "Therefore, we specially sent five hundred brothers to help with the work, hoping to atone for our sins!"

    His tone was earnest, and he was very submissive, whichpletely baffled Xu Muge.

    Mr. Qin? Did Qin Jiang solve it?

    "You all didn''te to make trouble, did you?" Xu Muge''s eyes showed worry.

    "No, not at all!"

    Golden Python Dragon nearly cried out of fear from her question, "Look how hard we''re working! Does it look like we''re here to cause trouble? Miss Xu, please forgive us!"

    If Xu Muge kicked them out, and Qin Jiang med them, then he would be done for!

    Helpless and not daring to confront him too directly, Xu Muge relented, "Alright then."

    "Okay!"

    Golden Python Dragon skipped away cheerfully and continued to join thebor force with a cart full of bricks...

    Xu Muge was stunned; what in the world was happening?

    Outside the construction site, Xu Huanhuan and her brother Xu Zilong got down from the car.

    "I heard that the people from Dragon Gate were repelled yesterday, and they definitely won''t let things go today. We just came over to join in on the fun, to see how Xu Muge will handle this!"

    "Hmph, as if Dragon Gate is so easy to mess with. Maybe today, even Qin Jiang will have his skin stripped off!"

    The siblings exchanged a smile, as they had intended for Xu Muge to deal with this mess just to give him a hard time.

    Now, it was time to watch the spectacle.

    They walked into the construction site, gloating, eager to see Xu Muge''s embarrassing predicament!

    However, as soon as they walked in, they were dumbfounded!

    The scene before them left them too shocked to speak.

    "What... what''s going on?"

    "Am I seeing things?"

 Chapter 39: 39: Taking Credit for Others Achievements!

    Xu Zilong stared at the people on the construction site, dumbfounded. He saw brawny men, adorned with ornate dragon and phoenix tattoos, shirtless and sweating buckets as they moved bricks and pushed carts.

    They were busy to the point of joy.

    "Huh¡ª"

    The two of them could tell at a nce that these fellows weren''t just workers, they were the kind who mixed in the underworld!

    Moreover, there was a good chance they were people from Dragon Gate!

    But why would people from Dragon Gate be working so hard here?

    They racked their brains but couldn''t figure it out!

    Just then, Xu Muge walked over. "Howe you''re here?"

    "What, can''t Ie?"

    Xu Huanhuan said coldly, "I came to see how you''re handling this matter!"

    Xu Muge snickered, "Just as you wished, the people from Dragon Gate are working for me."

    Xu Huanhuan and herpanion were infuriated by Xu Muge, sneering, "Xu Muge, look how capable you think you are! I don''t know what means you''ve used to turn the people from Dragon Gate into this, but you''d better not let us catch you doing anything that harms thepany''s interests!"

    Now Old Mr. Xu had handed over half of the power to Xu Muge.

    Her presence threatened their positions, so naturally, they were unwilling to sit back and wait for death. They had to trip up Xu Muge, making her fail and lose the trust of Xu Jiang!

    Xu Muge spoke indifferently, "Don''t worry, you need not concern yourselves with these matters. On the other hand, don''t let me find out you''re involved in any misconduct that damages the entire family, otherwise, I will definitely report it to Grandpa!"

    The siblings left in a huff, "Xu Muge, so what if you''ve taken care of the Dragon Gate issue? Thepany is currently facing a huge capital shortfall, and there''s also the matter of establishing cooperation with Zhao Corporation. If you can''t handle these well, you''ll still be ousted!"

    Having said that, Xu Zilong and hispanion turned and left.

    Xu Muge''s expression gradually became solemn as she contemted how to resolve the current problems.

    However, she soon received a phone call.

    "Muge,e home first!" Liu Ya''s anxious voice came through.

    Hearing Liu Ya''s urgency, Xu Muge felt puzzled but had to return home first.

    "Muge!"

    A gentle voice sounded, and she saw a graceful man carrying gifts walking in. Liu Ya and others immediately stood up to wee him.

    "Oh, Mr. Qin, why such formality?"

    The couple immediately greeted Qin Xiao into the house with utter politeness.

    "Qin Xiao?"

    Seeing the visitor, Xu Muge was also shocked; Qin Xiao was the eldest young master of the secondary Qin Family in Jiangcheng, and he was Qin Jiang''s cousin!

    Back when she and Qin Jiang still had a marriage arrangement, this guy had not ceased to bother her.

    Moreover, she always felt appalled by the Qin Family for driving Qin Jiang''s family out, so she had never shown a pleasant face to the Qin Family members.

    "What are you doing here, Qin Xiao?!"

    She asked coldly.

    Liu Ya immediately reprimanded, "Muge, how can you speak to Mr. Qin like that?"

    Qin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Auntie, it''s normal for Muge to have some prejudice against me."

    "However, I heard that Muge has returned to Xu Group and encountered some trouble."

    "I also know people from Dragon Gate. Yesterday, I made a call over to them and discussed this issue with the Dragon Gate Sect Master, letting them know to tone it down."

    "I don''t know if it worked."

    Upon hearing this, Liu Ya hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin, you''re so thoughtful. Muge, can''t you see how much Mr. Qin cares for you?"

    Xu Muge''s heart trembled slightly. So it was Qin Xiao who had caused the people from Dragon Gate to behave so out of the ordinary today?

    And the "Mr. Qin" mentioned by Golden Python Dragon was Qin Xiao?

    "So it turns out, Mr. Qin, that today''s unexpected attitude from Dragon Gate was thanks to you. Much appreciated." Since he had helped her with such a problem, she couldn''t be too rude, and she had to thank him.

    "Ah?" Qin Xiao was startled, then quickly nodded with an air of pretense, "Hmm, yes! It seems that Xu Tianlong still gives this young master some face!"

    He feigned modesty and waved his hand, "It''s just a trifle, not worth mentioning!"

    ```

    "Muge, there''s no need for you to be too moved."

    ```

    He had just heard about Dragon Gate causing trouble at the Xu family construction site and saw it as an opportunity toe over and take credit, without knowing that the issue at Xu Muge''s construction site had already been resolved.

    However, now that the matter was resolved, he was even more determined to take the credit for himself!

    Xu Muge said indifferently, "Mr. Qin, thank you for speaking up for me, may I ask whatpensation you would like?"

    Seeing Xu Muge draw a cold line between them, Qin Xiao immediately said, "Why so formal with me?"

    "Am I helping you for some kind ofpensation? Muge, you really don''t understand my intentions."

    Liu Ya hurriedly interjected from the side, "Muge, Mr. Qin has helped you with a big favor after all, how can you speak to Mr. Qin like that? It''s too unkind!"

    Xu Muge was speechless.

    Qin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Auntie, it''s normal for Muge and me to be a bit distant after not seeing each other for so long. Today, I brought some gifts for both of your elders and would also like to invite you to dinner."

    "I heard that Mayor Zhang''s daughter, Miss Zhang, has recently opened a restaurant with a good reputation!"

    "We could go and try something new."

    "Right now, it''s only open to a limited extent, but it already became a must-visit spot for the upper echelons of Jiangcheng. I also expended quite some effort to get an entry ticket."

    "A restaurant opened by the mayor''s daughter? Can just anyone go in?" Liu Ya said, suddenly overjoyed, "This¡­ How could we impose?"

    Xu Muge said, "Mr. Qin, how could we impose? I might not have the time!"

    Qin Xiao''s face immediately darkened, "Muge, I''ve done you such a big favor, and you won''t even give me this bit of face? That really chills my heart!"

    At his words, Xu Muge was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond correctly!

    "Fine¡­"

    Who asked her to owe someone a favor?

    Xu Muge said, "However, I would have to invite Qin Jiang to join us."

    "Sure!" Qin Xiao sneered to himself, what use would it be to call Qin Jiang? Without him bringing him inside, would he even have the qualifications to enter Pinxiang Pavilion?

    "Qin Xiao said he dealt with the Dragon Gate issue for Muge? What shamelessness!"

    After receiving the information at home, Qin Jiang sneered and immediately set out for the restaurant. He was curious how far Qin Xiao would go with his act today.

    Meanwhile, the Xu family, along with Qin Xiao, had already arrived at Yuepin Pavilion and, after showing their entry tickets, were respectfully weed inside.

    A few minutester, Qin Jiang also arrived at Yuepin Pavilion but was stopped by the security at the door.

    "Sir, entry here requires a ticket, or you need a friend toe and escort you in."

    "That much trouble?" Qin Jiang frowned.

    Just then, a young woman approached him excitedly, "Sir, is it you?"

    Qin Jiang turned around to see it was the same young woman he had encountered at Hundred Herbs Hall, whose father he had also seen at the hospital previously.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Is there something you need?"

    Zhang Shuqing was very excited, she hadn''t expected to run into Qin Jiang here of all ces! After all, Li Jiushu had mentioned that if anyone in Jiangcheng could help her father, it would be Qin Jiang!

    She hurriedly said, "Excuse me, sir, are you here to dine?"

    Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "Yes."

    Zhang Shuqing turned to the other security guards, "Let this gentleman in!"

    "Yes, boss!"

    Hearing themand, the security guards immediately cleared a path.

    Qin Jiang was astonished; who would have thought that this woman was the owner of the ce?

    Before Zhang Shuqing could even speak to Qin Jiang, he had already stepped inside without looking back.

    Zhang Shuqing''s eyes flickered as she instructed her subordinates, "Prepare a VIP private room for this distinguished guest!"

    "Also, let him know that I will personallye to toast him at the event!"

    Qin Jiang arrived outside the private room, pushed the door, and entered.

    "Qin Jiang, how did you sneak in here?!" Qin Xiao immediately stood up and rebuked him angrily.

    Without a ticket, there was no way to get in! How did Qin Jiang manage to enter this ce?

 Chapter 40: 40: Honored Guest, The Imperial Private Room!

    ```

    "Of course I walked in," Qin Jiang said coldly.

    Liu Ya also showed displeasure, scolding, "Qin Jiang, get out of here immediately!"

    She had arranged for Xu Muge to dine here today precisely to let Xu Muge and Qin Xiao grow closer! How could their affection increase with Qin Jiang, this troublemaker, here?

    Xu Muge responded indifferently, "Mr. Qin, it was I who asked Qin Jiang toe. Qin Jiang is my fianc¨¦; I wanted him to join me. That''s not too much to ask, is it?"

    Qin Xiao''s face darkened for a moment but, in an effort to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he could only say, "It''s fine."

    "Qin Jiang is also my cousin, and it''s perfectly fine for him to visit!"

    "Besides, he''s been living in poverty for years, unable to afford a decent piece of clothing. I invited him over for a good meal today, what of it?"

    His words were filled with scorn.

    "Muge, you''d better choose wisely. He''s been in jail and is penniless, struggling even to feed himself. How is he worthy of you?"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "None of your damn business!"

    Hearing this, Qin Xiao trembled with fury,ughed bitterly twice, and said, "I''m just considering Muge''s happiness. Our Qin Family and Xu Family have been friends for generations. Muge and I grew up together like childhood sweethearts. Now, seeing you in this state, I just feel she deserves better!"

    Xu Muge corrected him, "The one who grew up with me as childhood sweethearts is only Qin Jiang."

    This sentence nearly choked Qin Xiao!

    He nced at Qin Jiang, who had taken a seat aside, his eyes bing extremely cold.

    Back when Qin Jiang was with the Qin Family, he was the darling of the family, not only was he smart with excellent grades from childhood, but he also overshadowed his average cousin in every way!

    Furthermore, Qin Jiang had an extremely formidable father, hence his status in the Qin Family was much higher than their lineage.

    Therefore, he had always been overshadowed by Qin Jiang, and he was extremely envious of him.

    Until...

    After Old Mr. Qin passed away and Qin Jiang''s father disappeared, their lineage finally took over the reins of the household.

    His father seeded as the Family Head of the Qin Family and even ousted Qin Jiang and his mother from the family, making their branch the legitimate line of the Jiangcheng Qin Family.

    As for people like Qin Jiang, they could only be reduced to living in the streets, homeless, and drifting from ce to ce!

    The two were no longer of the same world.

    Now, Qin Jiang, this poor bastard, actually dared to talk to him like this?!

    Today, he must crush Qin Jiang''s dignity underfoot, making him lose face in front of Xu Muge! He wanted Xu Muge to see the reality!

    Liu Ya said, "Mr. Qin, why be angry? He is not on the same level as you; by arguing with him, you''re only lowering yourself!"

    Then, she looked toward Qin Jiang and said sternly, "Qin Jiang, aren''t you going to apologize to Mr. Qin?"

    "Look at yourself; aside from causing trouble for Muge and showing off what else can you do? Mr. Qin has helped Muge deal with the people from Dragon Gate! And what about you? You''d probably just be trembling in a corner, right? That''s the difference!"

    Qin Xiao sneered, "Exactly, Qin Jiang, this was just a trifle matter for me."

    "I hope you understand that scum like you from the bottom of society don''t deserve Muge! Muge needs a strong man like me, not a freeloader!"

    Qin Jiang said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Oh, really? Are you sure you resolved the issue with Dragon Gate?"

    Qin Xiao felt a pang of insecurity but quickly regained hisposure, arrogantly nodding his head, "Yes, it was me! If it wasn''t me who resolved it, then I suppose it was you?"

    "Indeed, it was I who resolved it," Qin Jiang said calmly.

    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao burst into loudughter, his eyes filled with disdain, "That''s hrious! Do you even know what Dragon Gate is? Someone like you, a worthless shrimp, dares to im such a thing?"

    "Dragon Gate could crush you by lifting a finger!"

    ```

    ```

    "You''re bluffing. Couldn''t you at leaste up with something more believable? Keep showing off here, and see if I don''t call the Dragon Gate Sect Master toe over and beat you half to death,"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Well then, go ahead and call him!"

    Qin Xiao''s face stiffened. With his status, how could he possibly know someone like the Dragon Gate Sect Master?

    "Forget it. Out of consideration for you being my cousin, I can''t be bothered to call someone to deal with you!"

    Qin Jiang sneered again, "Fine, since you won''t call, then I will! I''ll ask him in person if you, the great Mr. Qin, really have Dragon Gate under control!"

    Qin Xiaoughed contemptuously, "As if you know Xu Tianlong from Dragon Gate. I''m dying ofughter here. I could say I know the president too, all talk! Then go on, tell us, what''s your rtionship with the Dragon Gate Sect Master?"

    Qin Jiang replied calmly, "I am his master."

    Upon hearing this, everyone''s expression changed dramatically.

    Liu Ya sternly scolded, "Qin Jiang, stop spouting nonsense here. If that person hears this kind of talk, we''ll all suffer the consequences!"

    Xu Muge also grabbed his hand and whispered, "You can''t just say things like that. If the Sect Master hears, you''re finished!"

    "Cut the crap."

    Qin Jiang was speechless. Was speaking the truth really so outrageous?

    "Fine then!" Qin Xiao taunted, "If you''re his master, have the guts to call him to hit me. I''ll wait right here and watch your bubble get burst."

    Qin Jiang took out his phone and called Xu Tianlong, "Xiao Xu,e over for a bit! There''s a Mr. Qin here who wants to meet you. Bring some brothers, just be a little gentle!"

    "Wow!" Qin Xiao scoffed, "Still putting on quite the act. I''mughing to death! Forget it, I won''tpete in bragging with you. Uncle, auntie, Muge, let''s order."

    "Qin Zhou, you order some more too. After all, this is Miss Zhang''s restaurant!"

    "It''s a high-end ce!"

    "A minimum spend of tens of thousands in an ordinary private room, starting at one hundred thousand in a medium one, and several hundred thousand in a top-tier room! As for the imperial suites, they''re not something you can just enter if you have money! It''s only by relying on an elite person like me that you get the chance toe in!"

    "And you¡­ by yourself, could never afford to dine here in your whole life!"

    "That''s the difference between us, understand?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Is that so? Just now, the owner herself invited me inside! What are you that I would need to rely on your influence?"

    Qin Xiao wasughing so hard tears nearly fell, "Keep it up, keep blowing your own trumpet! If you really know the owner here, I''ll kneel and kowtow to you several times!"

    Qin Jiang replied, "Alright! Remember to keep your word, otherwise, I''ll have to force you to kowtow."

    Xu Muge tugged at his sleeve, "Enough, talk sense!"

    Qin Jiang looked at Xu Muge, "When have I ever lied to you?"

    Xu Muge was speechless, "Whatever you say. It''s not me who''s going to be embarrassed when it''s all proven to be nonsense!"

    No sooner had she finished speaking than a knock came from the door.

    "Come in!"

    As Qin Xiao affected a cough with feigned importance, the words were followed by a middle-aged man walking in.

    "Greetings everyone, I am Zeng Liu, the general manager of Yuepin Pavilion," the man spoke politely, "Our boss has instructed us to invite you distinguished guests to dine in our imperial suite!"

    Distinguished guests?

    Imperial suite?

    Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned!

    Qin Xiao''s face showedplete astonishment, which quickly turned to ecstasy, "This... Miss Zhang is inviting us to dine in the imperial suite? Isn''t that where only the top characters of Jiangcheng can go? The distinguished guests she''s referring to... is it me?!"

    ```

 Chapter 41: 41: Slapping the Face!

    Although Yuepin Pavilion hadn''t fully opened to the public yet, Qin Xiao was acutely aware of the standard of treatment it offered! The Imperial Room was the most prestigious room avable, and not just anyone with money could enter!

    The least prestigious among those entitled to use the Imperial Room were the heads of local top-tier families. Beyond that were the patrol officers'' chief detectives, heads of various departments, core members of the General''s Mansion, and the City Lord''s Mansion...

    All were true bigwigs whose every stomp could shake Jiangcheng to its core!

    The rich second generations, who seemed so impressive outside, were nothing inparison! And he, Qin Xiao,ing from a second-tier family, how could he receive such treatment?

    He felt both honored and astonished!!

    Although Liu Ya and Xu Jinhong and the others didn''t know the exact specifications of the Imperial Room, they could tell it was extraordinary, certainly much more luxurious than ordinary rooms.

    Supressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Xiao asked, "May I ask why Miss Zhang would suddenly arrange for us to enter the Imperial Room?"

    "Because our boss said there''s a distinguished guest among you whom our boss holds in high regard. Therefore, we must arrange the Imperial Room to show our respect!"

    "Moreover, all expenses for tonight are on the house."

    "Additionally, our boss wille in personter to offer a toast to this distinguished guest!"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao was taken aback. When had he be Miss Zhang''s distinguished guest?

    He found it baffling, yet looking at all the people present, who else but him had the status to be this guest?

    The people from the Xu Family?

    Qin Jiang?

    These people''s statuses weren''t evenparable to his!

    The only possibility was himself!

    Though he didn''t know why he had suddenly be the distinguished guest mentioned by Zhang Shuqing, he felt incredibly proud nheless.

    "Ahem! I understand. Please convey my thanks to Miss Zhang for her generous hospitality!" Qin Xiao cleared his throat and, with his hands sped behind his back, said, "Lead the way."

    Liu Ya and her husband were very pleased. "Mr. Qin is truly remarkable, even the daughter of Mayor Zhang wishes to toast you! Some people simply can''tpare to you."

    Her sarcastic tone left Qin Jiang speechless.

    Qin Xiao sneered, "Auntie,paring me with someone who was kicked out of his family, you''re giving him too much credit."

    Qin Jiang scoffed. He wanted to see how long the other could keep up this pretense.

    Zeng Liu found it strange. The distinguished guest mentioned by the boss was supposed to be Qin Jiang. What was this guy on about? But since Qin Xiao and Qin Jiang were in the same room, he didn''t ask further questions and simply led them to the Imperial Room.

    "Please¡ª" Zeng Liu opened the door to the Imperial Room, inviting them inside.

    Upon entering, they were shocked by the sight before them.

    The calligraphy on the walls, the floor tiles, the ceiling, the furniture, the decor... everything highlighted thevishness of the room.

    "Creating such a luxurious room must have cost tens of millions at least, no wonder it''s known as the Imperial Room!"

    The hearts of Liu Ya and the others trembled at the thought.

    After Zeng Liu led them there, he promptly excused himself and left.

    Seeing their astonished expressions, Qin Xiao didn''t want to miss the chance to show off, so he began to exin, "The Imperial Room is the highest-ss room here."

    "Ordinary rooms, medium rooms, high-end rooms, the Imperial Room."

    "There is only one Imperial Room!"

    "So far, I haven''t heard of anyone from our circle dining in this room."

    "Only on the opening day of Yuepin Pavilion did Mayor Zhang host a banquet here to entertain his guests! Those who entered were all top-tier figures of Jiangcheng!"

    "And we are the second group to enter this ce!"

    Qin Xiao''s exnation made Liu Ya, her husband, and the others'' eyes light up.

    "It still has to be Mr. Qin!""Such, such great honor!""To be able to enjoy this level of treatment is all thanks to Mr. Qin''s grace! Qin Jiang, look at yourself, then look at Mr. Qin, aren''t you ashamed?"Qin Jiang sneered, "Him, a VIP guest?"The Qin Family is merely a second-rate family in Jiangcheng, and as a non-family head figure within this second-rate family, could a minor character like Qin Xiao possibly catch their attention?It was not that Qin Jiang was blindly confident, but he understood upon reflection that it had to be that young woman wanting to ingratiate herself with him to have him treat her father, which is why she was so enthusiastic.It had nothing to do with Qin Xiao!Qin Xiao immediately scoffed, "Miss Zhang already said that among us there is a distinguished guest! In terms of status and position, only I, Qin Xiao, could possibly be the one!""If I''m not the distinguished guest, then are you?""My social circles and level are not something someone like you could understand! If it hadn''t been for me, would you even be able to dine in such a ce? Ridiculous!""Qin Jiang, what''s terrifying is not how poor you are or how trashy your circles are! It''s your short-sightedness, understand?"Qin Xiao looked disdainful and quickly said, "Muge, did you see that? This guy has been targeting me from the moment he entered, jealous of me, simply disgusting.""I brought him here to enjoy, to experience the prosperity he''s never had before, and he not only fails to appreciate it but also dampens the mood! Disgusting!"Qin Jiang said coldly, "The credit for forcing Dragon Gate to retreat, you''ve taken for yourself! Now, you''re iming to be the owner''s VIP guest here,ughable! Does the owner even know you?"These words rendered Qin Xiao speechless."Hmph!" Qin Xiao stubbornly said, "Nonsense, Miss Zhang of course knows me, we met at a banquet previously, and she greatly admired my talent! That''s why, seeing me dine here now, she arranged this private room for me!""What are you bragging about? You, a loser, probably don''t even know what Miss Zhang''s name is, do you? A poor sod like you has no ce judging my circles!"Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Why do I need to know her name? She''s the one who needs to ingratiate herself with me.""Hahaha¡ª" Qin Xiao burst intoughter, "Truly shameless!""How arrogant!""Miss Zhang, the daughter of Mayor Zhang needs to ingratiate herself with you? I''m about to dieughing, who do you think you are?"The others were also speechless, Qin Jiang''s boasts tonight were just too oundish.First he made the outrageous im that he was the master of the Dragon Gate Sect Master! Then, he shamelessly said the Mayor''s precious daughter wanted to ingratiate herself with him!Could his boasts get any more absurd?"Enough!" Xu Jinlong said solemnly, mming the table, "Qin Jiang, stop talking."Xu Muge was also somewhat disappointed. Why was Qin Jiang''s talk bing more and more unreliable?Soon, dish after dish of fragrant and delicious food was brought to the table.Then, a young woman with a bright aura and strong presence walked in from outside."Miss Zhang!" Upon seeing Zhang Shuqing, Qin Xiao got as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, trembling with excitement.He saw Zhang Shuqing holding a ss of red wine, entering with a smile on her face, and immediately poured himself a ss of red wine in his excitement, standing up and walking toward Zhang Shuqing!"Miss Zhang! You''re being too courteous, how could I let you personally toast to me? Come,e, let me first toast to Miss Zhang!"Having said that, he lifted his wine ss.Zhang Shuqing furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Qin Xiao with surprise, "Who are you? Do I know you? Look at yourself, do you deserve a toast from me?"Qin Xiao was petrified on the spot, his face flushing red!With these indifferent words, Zhang Shuqing directly strode over to Qin Jiang, bowed respectfully, and raised her wine ss!

 Chapter 42: 42 Dont Pretend to Be Rich When Youre Not!

    "Sir, I toast to you."

    Zhang Shuqing spoke with respectful tone.

    This scene made everyone present tremble violently in their gaze!

    What''s going on?

    Could it be that Qin Jiang was really Miss Zhang''s esteemed guest?

    Especially Qin Xiao, who felt as though someone had pped him hard across the face!

    His cheeks burned with pain!

    At first, he thought the esteemed guest Zhang Shuqing mentioned was himself, it could only be him!

    But when he went up to offer a toast, Zhang Shuqing had outright mocked him, making him lose face all the way home!

    What was even more uneptable to him was... the esteemed guest Zhang Shuqing mentioned was Qin Jiang? This huge contrast made it impossible for him to ept!

    Qin Jiang, with an indifferent look in his eyes, only raised his ss slightly and clinked it gently against hers upon seeing Zhang Shuqing''s sincere face.

    The Xu Family were stunned. When did Qin Jiang start associating with the daughter of the city''s top official?

    And, the city''s top official''s daughter was actually so polite to Qin Jiang?

    "Sir, thank you for helping us before. I misunderstood you earlier, and here, I apologize to you," Zhang Shuqing hurriedly said.

    Qin Jiang nodded and replied, "I know, it''s a trifling matter. I never took it to heart."

    "That''s good, that''s good," Zhang Shuqing let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then..."

    Before she could continue, Qin Jiang interrupted her, "Let''s discuss any matterster."

    "Okay." Seeing that Qin Jiang said so, Zhang Shuqing swallowed the words she was about to say.

    "Then, I''ll take my leave."

    Having said that, Zhang Shuqing gave everyone a slight smile and left the ce.

    Qin Xiao stood there, still in a daze.

    Qin Jiang smiled lightly and said, "Everyone, please order your meals. Cousin, it''s rare that I have the chance to treat you and it''s on the house, you as the boss''s esteemed guest should order more of what you haven''t tried before. After all, you won''t have this chance again."

    Hearing Qin Jiang''s mockery, Qin Xiao''s face burned even more, and the strange looks from the Xu family made him wish he could crawl into a hole!

    "Hmph! Who are you trying to impress?" Qin Xiao said, unable to hide his resentment, "Do you know who that was just now? The precious daughter of the city''s top official! I don''t know what small favor you did for Miss Zhang that got you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dine here."

    "But... how dare you speak to the city''s top official''s daughter with that attitude? You''re done for. She gave you a little face and you''re already overstepping your bounds,pletely ignorant of what is good for you, heh!"

    Liu Ya also asked, "Yeah, Qin Jiang, how do you know Miss Zhang?"

    Qin Jiang casually said, "I just helped with an insignificant little matter."

    As he saw it.

    It indeed was just an insignificant matter, and even now, upon learning that the person he saved that day was the current city leader of Jiangcheng City, there was no great shock in his heart.

    Previously, when he was in prison, he didn''t know how many powerful figures from outside sought his medical expertise. People of the caliber like a city leader were not umon!

    There were even those of higher status!

    However.

    His casual and light-hearted demeanor led everyone to believe that Qin Jiang really just helped with a little favor.

    Considering his attitude towards Zhang Shuqing just now, Liu Ya frowned and said, "Qin Jiang, what should I say about you? Can''t you change that bad temper of yours?"

    "You did a small favor for Miss Zhang, and she thanked you out of her good manners! And what about you? You rely on a small kindness and are so rude to Miss Zhang!"

    "Even if Miss Zhang doesn''t say it, she has probably already cklisted you in her heart!"

    She wore a look of pity and reproach, seeing it as an opportunity to ingratiate themselves with Miss Zhang, yet because of Qin Jiang''s attitude, the matter was spoiled.

    Qin Xiao scoffed, "Probably just now he didn''t know the identity of Miss Zhang, thinking that she was just some ordinary owner, so he wanted to put on airs!"

    "Now, I bet he''s regretting it to death, huh?"

    ```

    "Miss Zhang is not someone you can mingle with. This time might be your only chance toe into contact with her, and look at you, missing the opportunity to y it cool!"

    He looked delighted by the misfortune.

    Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "Sorry to disappoint you, but you''re overthinking it. I don''t need to grovel before someone like you do the moment you meet them. So what if she''s the mayor''s daughter?"

    "Stubborn till the end!" Qin Xiao''s face darkened with contempt as he sneered, "Now that you know you don''t stand a chance to suck up to her, you pretend to be above it all. Otherwise, given the chance, you would definitely be rushing to grovel!"

    "Is that so?"

    Qin Jiang frowned. "Let''s make a bet, then. She will certainly ask me for a favorter. Do you believe it?"

    What?

    Qin Xiao and the Xu family members were taken aback upon hearing this.

    Miss Zhang asking Qin Jiang for a favor?

    What a joke!

    "Hahaha¡ª" Qin Xiaoughed in disdain. "Such a pretender, hrious! Fine, I''ll take your bet. But what do you have to bet with?"

    "What makes you think you''re qualified to bet with me?"

    Qin Jiang replied coldly, "If I win, I want the Tianyuan Wanshan Map that Grandpa left behind!"

    The Crazy Old Man had told him there was a great secret within the Tianyuan Wanshan Map of the Qin family.

    If given the chance, he must acquire it.

    Qin Xiaoughed mockingly, "Alright! But what if you lose? If you lose, you kneel down and apologize to me in front of everyone. How about that?"

    Qin Xiao provoked, "If you''re so confident, surely you wouldn''t be afraid to take this bet, right?"

    Xu Muge frowned, "Qin Xiao, your terms are too humiliating!"

    Qin Xiao waved his hand dismissively, "Muge, stay out of this! I want to see if he''s got the nerve. Since he dares to act all high and mighty, then he should be prepared for the consequences!"

    "You..." Xu Muge wanted to say something, but Qin Jiang simply nodded, "Agreed!"

    Xu Muge was at a loss for words and nced at Qin Jiang. "Qin Jiang, don''t be reckless. What if you lose?"

    "I won''t lose," Qin Jiang said calmly.

    Initially, when he was at Hundred Herbs Hall, he had already discovered that Zhang Haosheng was severely ill, with not much time left.

    His intervention at the time was merely a temporary fix. To cure Zhang Haoshengpletely, he would have to intervene again. From Zhang Shuqing''s demeanor earlier, he had concluded that she indeed wanted his help to treat and save someone.

    Xu Muge felt helpless. How could Qin Jiang be so confident over a minor favor he had done?

    Qin Xiao smiled coldly and immediately took out his phone, sending a message to a fair-weather friend.

    He asked him to bring some people to watch Qin Jiang outside. If Qin Jiang refused to honor their bet, he would immediately have people force Qin Jiang to kneel to him.

    Qin Xiao smirked silently, looking forward to seeing Qin Jiang humiliated when they left. If he could make Qin Jiang kneel on the spot, it would undoubtedly damage Qin Jiang''s image in Xu Muge''s heart. After that, would Xu Muge still like such a boastful and ipetent coward?

    He gleefully anticipated the scene, as if he could already see it unfold.

    Soon, the table was quickly set with dishes.

    Zhang Shuqing also had someone bring two bottles of expensive wine, worth hundreds of thousands each.

    This made the others at the table sigh with astonishment¡ªit was indeed befitting of the mayor''s daughter to be so generous!

    Qin Xiao immediately invited, "Everyone, start eating. Don''t be polite with me!"

    As Qin Xiao spoke, Qin Jiang furrowed his brows and then gestured to Zeng Liu, who had followed him in, "Tell Miss Zhang that Mr. Qin here is hosting, so he should pay the bill."

    As soon as Qin Jiang spoke, Zeng Liu, shrewd as he was, immediately understood. "Sir, understood!"

    Qin Xiao''s face dropped instantly. "Qin Jiang, what the hell do you mean?"

    His eyelids twitched violently. This meal wasn''t cheap...

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Since you''ve already assumed the role of the host, I''m just giving you a chance. What''s the matter, can''t afford to host? Don''t want to y the part anymore?"

    ```

 Chapter 43: 43: Outraged by Shame, Lord Long Arrives!

    Seeing the odd looks from everyone in the Xu Family, especially Xu Muge''s somewhat mocking gaze, Qin Xiao''s face turned a pale shade of green, and finally, he gritted his teeth.

    "Who said that? If I said I''m treating, then I''m treating!"

    Zeng Liu chuckled, clearly seeing that things were not right between Qin Jiang and Qin Xiao. However, he couldn''t insert a word and could only silently watch from the sidelines.

    He knew who the real boss in this private room was, so whatever Qin Jiangmanded, he would do just that.

    Xu Muge couldn''t help but smile. She had been displeased with Qin Xiao all along, pretending from start to finish. Now, it seemed he was firmly in Qin Jiang''s grip and would undoubtedly be fleeced mercilessly.

    Liu Ya spoke indignantly, "Qin Jiang! Do you really treat people like this?"

    Qin Jiang smiled, "Qin Xiao said he''s picking up the tab today, so of course I have to honor his good intentions."

    "Besides, I still have a free meal voucher. Wouldn''t it be wonderful to invite you all to dinner at that time?"

    Qin Jiang''s words left Liu Ya with noeback.

    At this point, Qin Xiao had no choice but to stiffen his upper lip and continue the charade, saying, "Auntie, it''s okay, a small sum of money doesn''t count for much! I''m not as stingy as some people!"

    "Let''s eat!"

    Qin Xiao waved his hand to beckon everyone to the table.

    Qin Jiang didn''t bother with pleasantries and began to eat and drink voraciously. Half an hourter, a table full of dishes and two bottles of wine had all been swept clean.

    Though Qin Xiao was forcing a smile, hisplexion looked very unwell, and he was in quite an agony. Originally, booking an ordinary private room for a meal would have cost at most tens of thousands...

    Now, with this kind of treatment, the price was probably more than ten times that!

    His eyes, fixed on Qin Jiang, were filled with hate.

    This damn bastard dared to plot against him!

    Seeing Xu Muge asionally passing tissues to Qin Jiang with caring gestures on the side, his liver was about to explode with rage.

    "Alright, we''ve finished eating!" Qin Xiao sneered, "Qin Jiang, once you step out of this door, you''re going to kneel down and apologize to me! I really want to see how you''ll tough it out then!"

    Qin Jiang nced at him and said sarcastically, "Instead of thinking about making me kneel and apologize, you better think about giving me that painting that grandfather left behind."

    Qin Xiao snorted coldly, "Let''s go!"

    He was no longer in the mood to continue eating.

    The group left the Royal Private Room and headed downstairs.

    Qin Jiang took Xu Muge''s hand directly.

    Xu Muge struggled a few times but eventually gave up.

    Qin Xiao, witnessing this scene, felt even more devastated as if his whole body was trembling...

    He felt like he was the big sucker today, spending money to watch this couple shower each other with affection!

    "Whew!"

    Taking several deep breaths, his clenched fist rxed, and finally, he forced himself to calm down.

    "Let the guy show off for a while!"

    "Later, I''ll damn well force him to kneel and show him what ''death'' means!"

    In his heart, Qin Xiao thought about the bet he had just made with Qin Jiang, and moreover, he had just contacted one of his friends, Chong.

    Chong was a big shot in the area.

    He had over a dozen men under hismand.

    At least, that was enough to deal with Qin Jiang.

    If Qin Jiang didn''t kneel for him, Chong would press Qin Jiang down to his knees!

    Soon, Qin Xiao arrived at the cashier''s desk.

    "Check please!"

    He was in a terrible mood and his tone with the attendant was equally unpleasant.

    "Sir, your bill amounts to 1,625,400 yuan," said the attendant.

    "What?!"

    When he heard that, Qin Xiaopletely lost hisposure, "That expensive?"

    "That''s right!" said the attendant with a smile. "The Royal Private Room, plus the top-tier set menu, that''s the price. Plus, the two bottles of wine, they are all premium."

    "That''s the price set by our boss."

    Qin Xiao''s face turned gloomy, and though his heart ached, he still clenched his teeth and paid the money...

    Over a million yuan!

    Although the Qin Family was wealthy, he was just a second-generation heir, where would he have so much money to squander?

    A million and more could nearly cost him half his life!

    He red viciously at Qin Jiang, if it weren''t for this guy''s smart mouth plotting against him, how could he have suffered such a heavy loss? But on Zhang Shuqing''s turf, how could he dare to go back on his word?

    He could only painfully cut off a piece of his own flesh.

    After paying the money, Qin Xiao sneered continuously, "Qin Jiang, you''re done for this time! You said Miss Zhang had matters to ask of you, but now, Miss Zhang isn''t even here. It seems that, in the end, you''ll be the one kneeling before me."

    "Kneel before me now, bow your head, and I''ll mercifully let you off! A man''s word is his bond; you better not think of going back on it!"

    "Otherwise, I''ll make sure you won''t be able to walk away unscathed!"

    As soon as his words fell, he saw Zhang Shuqing walking out from backstage, smiling and heading straight towards Qin Jiang.

    "Sir!"

    Her tone was very respectful as she asked, "Do you have a moment? I have a favor to ask of you, if it''s convenient, pleasee with me inside to talk!"

    Seeing Zhang Shuqing''s hurried and anxious demeanor, everyone was taken aback once more!

    What''s going on?

    Qin Jiang had just treated her with such coldness, but Zhang Shuqing actually came searching for Qin Jiang?

    Moreover, her tone carried a plea.

    What value did Qin Jiang have that could make Zhang Shuqing, the esteemed daughter of a prominent family, lower herself?

    Upon hearing her, Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Sorry, but I have to return with my fianc¨¦e today."

    "Then... may I have your contact details? We can set another time to talk."

    "Sure." Qin Jiang nodded calmly.

    Afterward, Zhang Xueqing respectfully took out a notebook, offering him a pen.

    Qin Jiang left his contact information.

    This scene stunned everyone, including Qin Xiao. Why was Qin Jiang receiving favor from such an important figure?

    Especially Qin Xiao, his eyes turned red with jealousy!

    Upon finishing all this, Qin Jiang turned back and nced at Qin Xiao, saying, "It seems I''ve won our bet, the painting is mine! Do you want to deliver it yourself, or should Ie to get it?"

    Qin Xiao sneered, "Come and get it if you dare! That painting was left to us by Grandfather! What does it have to do with you? You want to just give away an antique worth millions?"

    Qin Jiang coldly responded, "I will personally go to the Qin Family to im it. When the timees, you will have no choice but to hand it over, whether you want to or not."

    Enraged to the point of shaking, Qin Xiao turned and left through the main door, gritting his teeth, and immediately made a phone call, "Chong, give that kid a good lesson, he''s too full of himself! I''ll transfer the payment to you afterward; don''t hold back, be ruthless!"

    He spat venomously.

    "Understood, leave this kind of work to me."

    No sooner had Chong''s voice dropped than he appeared with a group of men on the main street ahead.

    His territory was not far from here, and upon receiving a call from Qin Xiao, he had already been waiting in the area for a short while.

    Qin Xiao signaled to Chong with his eyes.

    Chong did not hesitate, his gaze directly falling upon Qin Jiang and the others who had just stepped out of Yuepin Pavilion.

    Seeing the group charging aggressively, Xu Mulin and others turned deathly pale!

    "Qin Jiang, it looks like they''reing for you!"

    "What trouble have you gotten yourself into?" Liu Ya said angrily, "You''re always causing trouble!"

    Qin Xiao was smirking incessantly, "Qin Jiang, this is the result of your arrogance. You''re finished now, right?"

    Chong approached in a pretentious manner, his eyes scrutinizing Qin Jiang, "Yo, kid, was it you hitting on my girlfriend at my clubst night?"

    Qin Jiang smiled wryly, "I don''t know you at all, and I didn''t go to the bar you''re talking about. If you want to pick a fight, just say so! However... This few people you''ve brought, they really aren''t enough."

    "Insolent!" Seeing that his ruse was seen through, Chong didn''t bother to pretend any longer, "Hit him, now!"

    But, just at this moment, a stern shout erupted!

    "I''d like to see who dares to touch him!"

    With the shout came an intense aura of danger.

    Everyone''s heart quivered upon seeing a middle-aged man striding around the corner with a few men, moving with authority!

    Qin Xiao scoffed with disdain, "Who the hell are you? Just with these few underlings, you think you can defend Qin Jiang? You must be tired of living. Do you know who Lord Chong is?"

    However, he didn''t see that Chong''s face had turned deathly white the moment he saw the middle-aged man, his whole body trembling.

    He immediately bent over and walked towards Xu Tianlong, shaking as he addressed him, "Lord Long!"

 Chapter 44: 44: A Lesson, Xu Mulins Trouble!

    This scene left Qin Xiao dumbfounded.

    Xu Muge and the others were also stunned. Who exactly was this middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared to stand up for Qin Jiang?

    At this moment, Chong was breaking out in a cold sweat, beads of perspiration rolling down his forehead.

    As a minor big brother, it wasn''t easy for him to carve out a territory in Jiangcheng.

    The most important thing was to have sharp eyes!

    He had seen all six of Jiangcheng''s underground overlords, the dragon and the two tigers, the three despots.

    Even though the other party did not recognize him, he knew who they were.

    So, the moment he saw Xu Tianlong appear, he knew trouble wasing! To someone like him, a small fry in front of Xu Tianlong, he was less than an ant, how could he dare to be so brash?

    Xu Tianlong stared at Chong, raised his hand, and pped him across the face!

    "Smack!"

    Chong was sent sprawling to the ground, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. He scrambled to his feet, then immediately kneeled in front of Xu Tianlong!

    "Lord Long, spare my life, oh Lord Long..." Chong trembled with fear, "I was just blind, I didn''t know this little brother was acquainted with you!"

    If he truly angered this lord, his life would not be spared, begging for mercy was his only chance to survive!

    Seeing that their boss had knelt down, his underlings also dropped to their knees one after another.

    Xu Tianlong swept them with a cold nce, then approached Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, how should these people be dealt with?"

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "They framed me, ording to the rules of the underworld, how should this be settled?"

    "Sever the tendons in one leg!"

    "Smash all their teeth so they can''t speak ever again!" Xu Tianlong said respectfully.

    "Then let''s follow the rules of the underworld," said Qin Jiang expressionlessly.

    Xu Tianlong waved his hand, and several men bristling with murderous intent stepped forward!

    Apanied by screams, Chong and his gang had all their teeth smashed, their mouths full of blood, nearly fainting from the pain, their tendonspletely severed.

    "Take them away, don''t leave them here to offend Mr. Qin''s eyes!"

    Xu Tianlong ordered, and his men quickly dragged Chong and the others away from the scene!

    Xu Tianlong took steps towards Qin Xiao.

    Qin Xiao''s legs went weak with fright, and he retreated step by step, trembling all over.

    "I''ll tell you, I''m the eldest young master of the Qin Family! Have you heard of the Qin Family of Jiangcheng?"

    Xu Tianlong sneered, "The Qin Family? Even if the Family Head of the Qin Familyes, he would have to prostrate himself before me! I am the Dragon Gate Sect Master! Didn''t you say you knew me? Why are you so afraid of me?"

    "The Dragon Gate Sect Master?"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao was terrified, almost to the point of wetting his pants.

    "Smack!"

    Xu Tianlong stepped forward and gave him a harsh p.

    "You said you''d make me, Xu Tianlong, stand down? Do you think you''re worthy?"

    "Smack! Smack! Smack!" A series of psnded, and Qin Xiao''s face was split open, turned into a pig''s head, grimacing in pain!

    Xu Muge and the others were astonished. It seemed that the person who helped resolve the issue for Xu Muge wasn''t Qin Xiao! Then, was it Xu Tianlong who had given face to Qin Jiang, and that''s how the matter was settled?

    After several ps, Qin Xiao begged pitifully, "Lord Long, I was wrong, I shouldn''t have used your name to show off outside! I know I was wrong!"

    Xu Shilong turned his head to nce at Qin Jiang, seeming to inquire how he wanted to handle the situation.

    Qin Jiang said dispassionately, "Let him roll!"

    "Scram¡ª" Xu Shilong kicked Qin Xiao, "Remember! It''s Mr. Qin who let you leave today! Otherwise, I, Xu Tianlong, could make you disappear without a trace in a matter of minutes!"

    Qin Xiao was terrified out of his wits, scrambling to his feet and hastily driving away.

    "Qin Jiang!"

    "You bitch! You actually invited Lord Long to screw me over! Damn you!"

    He gritted his teeth in anger.

    He had prepared a lot for today, hoping to take this opportunity to win over Xu Muge''s heart, but not only did he fail to achieve his goal, he was swindled, got a beating, and lost all face.

    He was almost mad with rage!

    All of this was because of Qin Jiang! He would get his revenge for this humiliation sooner orter!

    After helping Qin Jiang resolve the situation, Xu Tianlong also left the ce with a few of his underlings.

    Xu Muge''s face was full of disbelief. "Qin Jiang, since when did you get to know the Sect Master of Dragon Gate? And... he seemed to be quite polite to you?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Dragon Gate is now subservient to me!"

    "Subservient to you?" Xu Muge was taken aback and then frowned usingly at him. "Can you be serious? Although I don''t know how you made peace with them, you should limit your interactions with these underground forces, you hear? Otherwise, if something goes wrong and you go to prison again, I won''t help you!"

    Qin Jiang felt a bit helpless. "You don''t believe me?"

    "I don''t! Dragon Gate is the top underground force in Jiangcheng, how could they be easily subdued? I''m afraid they have ulterior motives! No matter what, just keep your distance from them!" Xu Muge earnestly urged.

    What leverage does Qin Jiang have to subdue them?

    Maybe they''re plotting something sinister.

    One must always be wary of others!

    "Alright." Although Xu Muge didn''t believe him, the concern in her tone still warmed Qin Jiang''s heart.

    Liu Ya also disdainfully said, "I can''t believe you''re associating with these people, it''s ridiculous. What''s the use of such social riffraff? Do you really think a few minions make you impressive?"

    At that moment, Xu Mulin suddenly received a phone call, his face gradually turning ashen.

    "Dad, Mom, something hase up at my shop, and I need to go back right away. You two head home first."

    "Something happened?" The Xu Family couple looked worried.

    Xu Mulin forced a smile. "I can handle it myself, don''t worry!"

    Qin Jiang said, "I''ll go with you to check it out!"

    Xu Mulin dismissed the offer, "No need, this matter doesn''t need your intervention, and you can''t handle it."

    "You might handle these turf hooligans, but my shop has attracted the patrol officers, and you won''t be able to do anything. Don''t think you''re invincible just because you know a few people!"

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang simply smiled lightly, "Maybe I really can resolve it?"

    Xu Mulin wanted to refuse, but Xu Muge spoke up, "Let Qin Jiang go with you!"

    With his sister saying so, Xu Mulin could only nod. The two hailed a cab and went straight to the shop.

    Xu Mulinmented, "It''s really inconvenient without a car, always having to hail a taxi, such a hassle."

    Qin Jiang suggested, "Why not buy one?"

    Xu Mulin sighed, "You think it''s that easy just to buy one?"

    Qin Jiang teased him, "Okay then, call me brother-inw, and I''ll gift you a nice car."

    "In your dreams!" Xu Mulin snorted coldly.

    "Back then you made my sister suffer so much, and because she has a soft and kind heart, she doesn''t hold it against you! But I won''t forgive you that easily; don''t think that by doing a few things, you can earn my forgiveness!"

    At that moment, there were many cars parked in front of the restaurant.

    Many people were gathered together, talking animatedly!

    Xu Mulin quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed inside, with Qin Jiang following behind him.

    The customers angrily stared at the two men, pointing and gesturing at Xu Mulin.

    "So, he is the unscrupulous owner!"

    "Despicable!"

    "Food poisoning, frothing at the mouth, that''s scary. They could have died, right?"

    "Who would dare eat here in the future!"

    Who would dare to eat here in the future? Who knows if the next victim could be themselves?

    Xu Mulin''s face went pale!

    It had been tough, but after one or two months of effort, his business had started to pick up! However, now, an incident in his restaurant put him at risk of going to prison if he wasn''t careful!

    But his sanitary standards were very strict, how could the customers have gotten food poisoning?

    Just then, a middle-aged man, apanied by several patrol officers, entered the restaurant with an imposing manner.

    "Comrades, this guy''s restaurant frequently has problems, and who knows whether the food hygiene is up to standard. This kind of harmful business can''t be allowed to continue harming people!"

    Xu Mulin retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense!"

    He was furious, gritting his teeth. This middle-aged man, named Wang Huai, was apetitor who had a shop next to his and had not stopped causing troubles for him!

    The patrol officers, with stern faces,manded, "Pleasee with us immediately, and this restaurant needs to be sealed off. The business will be suspended for a while during the investigation!"

 Chapter 45: 45: Foil the Conspiracy!

    Xu Mulin''s heart was struck with shock, "I..."

    He felt the ultimate grievance inside. How had he suddenly stumbled into such an unfounded disaster?

    If his shop was sealed off and he had to be taken away for a while, how would that do?

    It wasn''t just aplete loss of face, but also a huge financial loss!

    Yet, faced with the patrol officers'' resolute attitude, he had no choice but toply.

    "Cuff him!"

    A slightly overweight middle-aged man, the leader of the squad, said coldly.

    Several team members also took out handcuffs.

    "I haven''t broken thew, what right do you have to handcuff me?" Xu Mulin looked indignant, "I am just cooperating with your investigation right now!"

    "Impudent!"

    The squad leader''s eyes darkened instantly, and with a p, he struck Xu Mulin''s face!

    "You''re trying to resist thew with violence?"

    "When I say ''cuff him'', you cuff him! What right do you have to argue?"

    Seeing the opponent''s firm and oppressive attitude, Xu Mulin was filled with frustration, but he had no choice but to endure.

    Just as the men were about to handcuff Xu Mulin, Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Wait a minute!"

    The squad leader turned back and nced at Qin Jiang with an indifferent look, "What, do you want to take a seat inside too?"

    Wang Huai even sneered, "That''s right, this guy caused a customer food poisoning! That''s breaking thew! Captain Lin is arresting him now, that''s only natural! If you dare to defend him, be careful that you get arrested along with him!"

    Qin Jiang scoffed, "Are people so domineering these days? We don''t even have the right to exin?"

    After this faint mockery, he walked straight to the man who had supposedly poisoned and copsed on the table, and kicked him!

    However, the other party didn''t have the slightest reaction, still lying there like a dead pig.

    "You really can endure, can''t you!"

    Qin Jiang sneered and picked up a chopstick, then went straight for the man''s head!

    Right before everyone''s eyes, the man, who had been foaming at the mouth and unconscious, suddenly jumped up at this moment, looking at Qin Jiang in fear!

    "What''s going on?"

    The stunned crowd immediately looked at the scene unfolding before them.

    And the faces of Wang Huai and the police officer Lin darkened at this moment.

    Qin Jiang sneered at the man, "Why are you not ying dead anymore?"

    He saw at a nce that the man was not really poisoned by the food but was just pretending.

    Including the unconsciousness and the foaming at the mouth.

    All of it was fake.

    Therefore, upon seeing this man pretending to be poisoned by the food, he concluded it was a conspiracy targeting Xu Mulin!

    And with Wang Huai''s subsequent appearance, so eagerly seeking to tarnish Xu Mulin''s reputation, it was also extremely unusual, so he began to suspect that this was a premeditated plot.

    "Ow¡ª"

    "It hurts, it hurts!"

    "So painful!"

    The exposed man, still with hope, cried out in agony, clutching his stomach!

    "I really did pass out just now, and I felt like I was going to die, I even spat out foam, and you still dare to question me?"

    "You kicking me woke me up!"

    "I woke up just to see you stabbing at me with something, wouldn''t I be scared?"

    Hearing the man''s sophistry, a cold smile appeared on Qin Jiang''s lips.

    "Fine! Since you''re awake now, let''s go to the hospital for an official check-up. If it turns out you really are poisoned by the food, then we are willing to take the corresponding responsibility!"

    "If not... then, you might have to bear criminal responsibility."

    At Qin Jiang''s words, panic shed across the man''s eyes.

    However, in an instant, it returned to normal.

    "I... I won''t go! I''m the victim, why should I be questioned like this by you? Besides, everyone saw me get food poisoning, copse, and foam at the mouth! Don''t try to smear me!"

    Wang Huai also approached, speaking in a serious tone, "Young man, this isn''t very decent of you."

    "When there''s a problem at your establishment, you should be brave enough to take responsibility, not shirk it. The way you''re acting is disappointing us! All these customers are watching!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Precisely because these customers are here, we can''t just swallow this false usation."

    He took out his mobile phone immediately.

    "He wasn''t poisoned at all, he is just here to act and swindle people. Let''s go to the hospital for an appraisal! If you aren''t guilty, what do you have to fear?"

    However, as soon as Qin Jiang took out his mobile phone, it was pped to the ground by the squad leader named Lin, who said indifferently, "Take these two away directly, seal the store, and wait for punishment!"

    With one statement, he dered their fate!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes also grew colder, "As patrol officers, to act so recklessly without distinction?"

    Captain Lin said coldly, "The evidence is conclusive, what''s there to say? Don''t think about quibbling!"

    Seeing his attitude, Qin Jiang had pretty much guessed what was going on.

    A nder, a thorough nder!

    "Take them away!"

    Lin Zhirui, toozy to talk more with Qin Jiang, directly ordered them to take Qin Jiang and the other away!

    "Are you sure?!"

    Captain Lin scoffed, "Stop the nonsense and get moving, or we may have to use force!"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "I hope you don''t regret it!"

    Chen Jiuheng wouldn''t dare to be so arrogant in front of him, let alone this lowly patrol officer? Today, he really intended to teach these abusers of power a lesson!

 Chapter 46: 46: Framed, Chen Jiuheng is frightened to idiocy!

    Lin Zhirui scoffed in disdain. A mere owner of a small restaurant dared to wrestle with him?

    What a joke!

    Lin Zhirui said coldly, "Better be honest, otherwise, you''ll suffer once you''re in!"

    Qin Jiang''s smile grew even more contemptuous at the threat, "You''re doing well. I hope you can stay this arrogantter."

    If the issue reallyy with Xu Mulin, he was willing to take responsibility! But it was already clear that this was a false usation, a barefaced frame-up!

    And this guy even dared to threaten him?

    What did Qin Jiang have to fear?

    Taking a deep breath, Qin Jiang looked calmly at Xu Mulin, "Let''s go."

    He wanted to see how this insignificant patrol officer would cover the sky with one hand!

    At the moment they left the shop, the patrol officers pasted a seal on the entire storefront!

    This caused Xu Mulin''s face to turn pale as a ghost.

    But the other party was not someone he could afford to provoke, and standing up to them definitely wasn''t an option.

    So, all he could do was try to find a remedy afterward!

    Qin Jiang and hispanion were directly taken to the Patrol House.

    Xu Mulin''s face showed an uneasy color. Compared to his unease and fear, Qin Jiang appeared much moreposed.

    "Don''t be afraid, we won''t have any problems. I will take care of those who have framed you," Qin Jiang assured him.

    "Spare me your cool statements!" Xu Mulin was very annoyed, incredibly agitated at heart.

    Hearing this, Lin Zhirui smirked, "What a braggart!"

    Once on his own turf, would this guy still dare to be so arrogant?

    He had already learned some information about Xu Mulin through his uncle, Wang Huai.

    Just some nobody with no background; although he owned a small restaurant, he had to take a taxi everytime he came here, not even owning his own car!

    Even if they were to forcibly pin a crime on him and have him detained for ten days or half a month, it wasn''t worth fearing.

    However, Qin Jiang''s arrogant attitude irritated him deeply, and he was already thinking of how to give this upstart a painful lesson once in the Patrol House!

    Soon enough, in the interrogation room of Jiangcheng''s Patrol House, Qin Jiang and hispanion were seated.

    Lin Zhirui directly tossed a document in front of the two, and said in a cold tone, "Sign it. After half a month, you''ll be safe and sound when you get out. We are only upholding thew, don''t me us!"

    Xu Mulin nced at the document and his expression sank. Once he signed this paper, it would mean admitting that there were indeed food safety issues in his restaurant!

    "I think it''s better to investigate this thoroughly. I won''t sign it until the truthes out," he said.

    At these words, Lin Zhirui huffed dismissively, "Signing is for your protection, don''t be ignorant! You think this is a minor charge? If we really decide to convict you, you''ll be ten times more miserable than now!"

    On hearing this, Xu Mulin''s gaze flickered and after hesitating for a moment, he reached for the pen...

    However, Qin Jiang firmly grabbed his hand and said calmly, "Don''t sign."

    After that, he coldly looked at Lin Zhirui, "I need to make a phone call."

    With a sneer, Lin Zhirui responded, "Sure, go ahead and call!"

    He was curious to see who this loser could call for help!

    After all, this ce wasn''t ordinary. Could one reallye and go as they pleased?

    Qin Jiang directly dialed Chief Detective Chen, "Hello, Chief Detective Chen, I''ve run into some trouble today. Your men arrested me without due process. Now, I need to get out!"

    His tone was cold and domineering.

    Chen Jiuheng broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this, "What?"

    "I''m on my way!"

    Which jackass had the audacity to detain this big shot? How reckless!

    Especially since Qin Jiang mentioned the indiscriminate detention; such an approach totally crossed Chen Jiuheng''s line! With Qin Jiang''s temperament, how could he tolerate such an insult?

    Wouldn''t he turn the ce upside down?

    After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhirui burst intoughter, "You sure can talk big. Who do you think our Chief Detective is? As if someone like you could know him? Ridiculous! You think a phone call will scare me?"

    Chen Jiuheng was the Chief Detective of Fengcheng''s Patrol House! Beneath him were four other Chief Detectives!

    And below them were various captains!

    In this hierarchy, Chen Jiuheng''s status was outrageously high!

    Let alone an ordinarymoner; not many descendants of the great families could even establish a rtionship with Chen Jiuheng!

    Furthermore, the tone in which Qin Jiang spoke to Chen Jiuheng was so brash and arrogant.

    This only convinced Lin Zhirui further that Qin Jiang was just bluffing, using Chen Jiuheng''s name to frighten him!

    He waved his hand dismissively, "Take them to cell number eight!"

 Chapter 47: 47 Dismissal and Investigation, Thrown into the Death Cell!

    He issued a cold order directly.

    Qin Jiang''s eyes grew even colder, "It seems you truly won''t give up until you''re faced with the Yellow River."

    "Cut the crap, get in."

    Qin Jiang nced indifferently at Lin Zhirui, "You will definitely regret this."

    Under the watch of several men, Qin Jiang and hispanion were taken directly into a single room, inside of which were over a dozen fierce and vicious criminals.

    Staring intently at Qin Jiang and hispanion!

    "Treat them well," Lin Zhirui said to the criminals with a coldugh, "Don''t disappoint me."

    Bang¡ª¡ª

    The door mmed shut!

    Xu Mulin went pale with fear at this scene, breaking out in a cold sweat.

    At this moment, those dozen fierce and vicious criminals also slowly stood up and showed them a malicious grin.

    Outside the Patrol House, a carriage stopped at the door, from which a middle-aged man hurriedly alighted.

    As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he rushed inside with an extremely urgent expression, wiping the beads of sweat from his face.

    "Chief Detective!"

    "Chief Detective!"

    Upon seeing Chen Jiuheng, those people all saluted him, their faces full of respect and admiration.

    After all, he was their leader.

    Even in all of Jiangcheng, he could be considered second only to one, above tens of thousands!

    His status was extraordinary.

    "Chief Detective!"

    Lin Zhirui, who had heard that Chief Detective Chen Jiuheng had personally got involved, also hurried forward to greet him.

    Although he was just a squad leader, if he could find the opportunity to make an impression in front of the Chief Detective, when it came time for promotion, the other party might think of him.

    Chen Jiuheng''s eyes darkened as he said, "Who brought back two young men today?"

    "Ah?" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirui was startled and replied, swallowing hard, "Correct..."

    Chen Jiuheng''s tone was icy, "Who brought them in?"

    "It was me!"

    Lin Zhirui felt a chill in his heart, but he had no choice but to steel himself and reply.

    Chief Detective Chen flew into a rage and pped him hard across the face!

    "Idiot! Is this how I taught you?"

    "p!"

    "To arrest people without distinguishing right from wrong?"

    "p!"

    "You''ve got quite some nerve! Feeling powerful, are you?"

    "p!"

    "Lead me to that person immediately!"

    The fury behind Chen Jiuheng''s psnded directly on Lin Zhirui''s face, causing him intense pain, but his heart had already sunk to rock bottom...

    It''s over...

    This time, I really kicked an iron te.

    Did that guy actually make a phone call to Chen Jiuheng?

    And Chen Jiuheng rushed over here in such a hurry.

    Just who exactly is that guy?

    But what frightened him even more... was that he had sent the person directly to cell number eight!

    That was the most terrifying cell in the Jiangcheng Patrol House!

    The people sent inside...

    Always ended up with a terrible fate!

    By now, several minutes have passed; those two must have been beaten to the point of not being recognized by their own mothers!

    What to do?

    This time, the situation waspletely irredeemable.

    If anything had happened to Qin Jiang and his friend, he would be even more dead than dead.

    "Chief Detective, I... I''ll send someone to release them immediately!"

    Chen Jiuheng pped him, making him so dizzy he couldn''t see straight!

    "Are you dumb? I told you to personally take me there! At once, immediately! I need to go and apologize!"

    These words scared Lin Zhirui out of his wits... The background of the guy inside was even more terrifying than he could imagine, so much so that the Chief Detective himself needed to apologize?

    Who exactly did he provoke?

    He was now full of regret... all he could do was cover his face, trembling all over as he led Chen Jiuheng to cell number eight.

    As soon as Chen Jiuheng saw cell number eight, his eyes grew colder, "Good, very good! You even arranged for cell number eight, it seems you''re quite bold!"

    Feeling Chen Jiuheng''s anger, Lin Zhirui''s legs turned to jelly, and he opened the cell door timidly.

    He knew he was finished...

    Because by now, Qin Jiang must have been beaten half to death! If Chen Jiuheng saw this, he would be done for! But when the door opened...

    He waspletely stunned!

    Qin Jiang was sitting inside, unscathed.

    And on the ground, the vicious criminalsy scattered around, trembling non-stop, wailing in pain, with several of them having passed outpletely...

    "Sss!"

    Seeing this, Lin Zhirui was utterly dumbfounded.

    You must know, these criminals were each formidable; wasn''t everyone sent here usually carried out within minutes?

    But now, Qin Jiang had taken all of them down!

    It was simply too terrifying!

    Seeing Chen Jiuheng walk in, Qin Jiang immediately smiled and said, "Chief Detective Chen, it''s lucky you came on time, otherwise, I might actually have been killed by these thugs!"

    "Hehe," Chen Jiuheng chuckled dryly, thinking to himself, who could kill you, the demon king of this world? It was already their good fortune you didn''t kill them!

    However, internally dismissing the thought, Chen Jiuheng verbally said, "Mr. Qin, I am truly sorry. I have not managed my subordinates properly, causing you distress!"

    Then, he red coldly at Lin Zhirui, "Aren''t you going to kneel and apologize to Mr. Qin?"

    With one furious shout, like a thunderp, Lin Zhirui fell to his knees, "Mr. Qin, I''m sorry, so sorry..."

    By now, he waspletely terrified.

    After all, if even Chen Jiuheng showed such respect to this man, how could he dare to offend him?

    Qin Jiang snorted coldly, "Weren''t you acting tough before? Try it again now, I dare you."

    "I wouldn''t dare, I wouldn''t dare!" Lin Zhirui frantically wiped the cold sweat from his brow, saying, "Mr. Qin, please forgive my previous blindness, I am very sorry. I''ll kowtow to you!"

    With that, he kowtowed several times on the ground, so hard that blood appeared on his forehead...

    Seeing him in such a pitiful state, Qin Jiang''s gaze remained devoid of any pity, his voice cold as he ordered, "Speak! Tell me everything you know!"

    "Yes, yes¡ª"

    Lin Zhirui recounted the whole situation in detail.

    Turns out, Wang Huai was his uncle, and his shop was located next to Xu Mulin''s. Recently, Xu Mulin''s shop had been doing better and better, which had caused his own business to plummet.

    So, he came up with a despicable n to ruin Xu Mulin''s business for good...

    Lin Zhirui, unable to withstand his pleading, agreed to help, and that man who pretended to have food poisoning had also been hired by Wang Huai to act.

    "Such malevolence is punishable!" Xu Mulin, clenching his fists tightly, was seething with murderous intent. How ruthless the old man was to viciously target him without a cause...

    This time, had it not been for Qin Jiang''s help, his carefully built shop would have been ruined.

    Qin Jiang''s eyes also narrowed as he coldly said, "Chief Detective Chen, now that you know the sequence of events, I trust you will handle this matter properly, right?"

    "Certainly!"

    Chief Detective Chen nodded, announcing coldly, "You, for abuse of power, will be stripped of your position for investigation! Furthermore, you''ll be thrown into jail to see if there are any other criminal evidences!"

    Lin Zhirui fainted on the spot!

    Qin Jiang patted Xu Mulin''s shoulder and, narrowing his eyes, said in a deep voice, "Let''s go. It''s time to settle the ount with that old man..."

 Chapter 48: 48: The Inverse Scale!

    At this moment, Wang Huai felt refreshed and invigorated. Seeing Xu Mulin''s store sealed off, he became excited, "Trying topete with me? You''re still too green, kid!"

    He was somewhat proud of himself.

    After all, with Xu Mulin''s store closed, his own business was doing much better, with a surge in customer traffic.

    Moreover, with this wave of seemingly "upright and unyielding" behavior, he had earned a lot of praise from the nearby customers. Now his store was packed to the rafters!

    All this meant money!

    This time, he was thankful for his nephew''s help, which had made things go so smoothly.

    A simpleton like Xu Mulin, who had no background or abilities, was just easy prey in his game.

    However, the smug look on his face quickly vanished.

    Because.

    He saw several cars with shing lights stopping in front of his store. At first, he thought it was his nephew Lin Zhirui, but the person who got out was an unfamiliar middle-aged man!

    The badge on the man''s shoulder signified an extraordinary status.

    "Hiss!"

    Wang Huai gasped in surprise, realizing this person might hold a much higher rank than his nephew.

    The authority radiating from the man was not to be underestimated.

    But the next moment, something even more baffling happened. Xu Mulin and Qin Jiang, who had been arrested, got out of the car. Furthermore, the middle-aged man respectfully weed Qin Jiang, who was by Xu Mulin''s side!

    What was happening?

    He had clearly told Lin Zhirui to keep these two locked up for a while!

    How could they be released so soon?

    Before he could even process his shock, Qin Jiang was already approaching him with a stern face.

    "How did you twoe back?"

    Wang Huai demanded.

    Qin Jiang replied with a cold smile, "Of course, we came back to settle ounts with you."

    Wang Huai''s eyelid twitched, "Settle what ounts?"

    Chen Jiuheng''s gaze hardened, and he said indifferently, "Lin Zhirui has confessed everything. Are you still resisting?"

    Wang Huai immediately felt a chill down his spine and said, "I don''t understand what you''re talking about!"

    Chen Jiuheng threw out a document.

    "First, you and Lin Zhirui are rted as uncle and nephew!"

    "Second, the person you hired to act was named Zhang Shun, a fellow townsman of yours. Yesterday, his ount received a suspicious sum of money!"

    "That money was transferred to him by you."

    "Lin Zhirui has confessed that it was you who instigated Zhang Shun to pretend to have food poisoning in Xu Mulin''s store, then had Lin Zhirui personallye to make the arrest, all to tarnish Xu Mulin''s reputation."

    "You did this to achieve yourpetitive objectives."

    "Now, I, Chen Jiuheng, Chief Detective of Jiangcheng, formally arrest you for the crime of making false usations!"

    Having said that, he took out handcuffs and started advancing steadily towards Wang Huai.

    Wang Huai felt as though he had been struck by lightning and immediately knelt before him, "Chief Detective, spare me, please!"

    "I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

    Xu Mulin gritted his teeth in anger, "You know you''re wrong now? When you were framing me, when you were ruthless, why didn''t you admit your mistake then?"

    "Scumbag!"

    "Old bastard,mit enough unjust acts and you''ll kill yourself! Now, enjoy your life in prison!"

    And the scene unfolding before their eyes was also witnessed by the passersby and the customers in the nearby shops.

    "What''s going on?"

    "I heard that the owner framed someone..."

    "Isn''t that the owner of the shop next door? Wasn''t he arrested? How did he get out?"

    "I just overheard it, they say that Wang Huai framed the other party, intentionally had someone fake food poisoning to ruin their reputation, and now it''s been found out!"

    "That''s despicable!"

    "Pah! I actually thought he was righteous, but it turns out he''s the truly unscrupulous one!"

    Hearing the truth, the other shop owners were filled with righteous indignation, feeling they''d been fooled by Wang Huai. They overturned tables and left the ce in a huff.

    Chen Jiuheng gestured grandly, ordering his subordinates to seal off Wang Huai''s shop immediately.

    And the sobbing Wang Huai was forcibly taken away by Chen Jiuheng...

    The onlookers, upon hearing of his deeds, were filled with contempt for him.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Chief Detective Chen, criminals like him need to be taught a lesson. It''d be best to put him in cell number eight and let those ''big brothers'' take care of him."

    "Understood, understood!" Chen Jiuheng nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Qin, rest assured, we''ll take good care of him."

    Chen Jiuheng looked at Wang Huai with pity; with his slender frame, he''d probablyst less than a minute in cell number eight before getting beaten half to death and carried out...

    Then, Xu Mulin tore off all the seals from his own shop and said, "Fellow townspeople, I''d like to exin the recent food poisoning incident that supposedly originated from my restaurant was aplete fabrication."

    "I, Xu Mulin, assure you that the source of the food and the production process in my restaurant is up to standard and follows regtions. Please rest assured."

    "I also hope that when you all return, you can help clear the air with the neighbors about this matter. I''d be most grateful!"

    After the crowd dissipated, Xu Mulin looked at Qin Jiang withplexity in his eyes, admiration among the emotions. He hadn''t expected that Qin Jiang knew the Chief Detective of the Patrol House! With ease, he resolved this troubling situation¡­

    Now, he was extremely curious about what exactly happened during the three years Qin Jiang was in prison.

    Qin Jiang patted her shoulder and chuckled, "How about it, not too shabby in handling this, eh?"

    "It''s okay," Xu Mulin pursed her lips, "Barely passable, but if you want me to acknowledge you, you''ll need to work harder."

    Qin Jiang also smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, "Then you work hard, I''m heading back first."

    He hailed a taxi and returned home.

    But!

    Just as he arrived downstairs, a mocking voice rang out, "Yo, Qin Jiang, the reformed convict returns, huh?"

    Qin Jiang turned around to find a short, stout man with an ostentatiously dressed woman in his arms, walking towards him with an arrogant air, looking him up and down, "Years have passed, and you''re still as pathetic! So? Found a job after getting out? Need me to hook you up with a security guard position?"

    Qin Jiang looked back indifferently, nced at the short and stout youth, uninterested in engaging with him, and directly turned to leave.

    The stout youth stepped sideways, blocking his path.

    "What are you pretending for? You think a reformed convict like you can strut around in front of me?"

    "Move away!" Qin Jiang said coldly.

    He naturally recognized the youth; they lived in the same neighborhood, named Li Jian.

    Since childhood, Li Jian was involved in petty thefts and had harassed Qin Sisi frequently, so he had been beaten by Qin Jiang from childhood into adulthood, and they had always been at odds with each other.

    Li Jian sneered, "Oh, Qin Jiang, you were quite impressive when younger, studying and all. You never imagined you''d end up like this, did you?"

    "No house, no car, no girlfriend, and no job... A loser like you, what''s the point of being alive? At least I am a department manager at the Xu Group now, earning over twenty thousand a month!"

    "How about this? Give me your disabled sister to be my mistress, and I''ll give you three hundred a month, how''s that? Hahahaha¡ª" Li Jian ridiculed him with augh.

    Qin Jiang, initially not wanting to bother with him, slowly turned back when he heard him mention Qin Sisi, his voice chilling to the bone, "What did you say just now?"

 Chapter 49: 49: Revenge Must Not Wait Until the Next Day!

    Family was Qin Jiang''s Achilles'' heel!

    He could be bullied, but he would never allow his family to be humiliated!

    Li Jian, this was courting death!

    A surge of fury rushed straight to Qin Jiang''s chest and without hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Jian by the cor!

    "You dare hit me? You fucking dare hit me?" Li Jian sneered with a roar, "Hit me! You''re asking to go to jail! Go on, send yourself in for a few more years! Are you scared?"

    "Come on! Please, I beg you to hit me!" He patted his own face, looking provocative and arrogant.

    Without a moment''s hesitation, Qin Jiang pped him across the face, sending him reeling. The p nearly shattered Li Jian''s teeth, and blood trickled from his mouth.

    Before he could react, Qin Jiang''s fist had already descended upon his face.

    "Bang, bang, bang!"

    Several consecutive punchesnded with ferocious power, making Li Jian howl in pain. His nasal bone broke, and blood gushed out¡­

    The scene sent chills all over the seductive woman''s body, and she let out a terrified scream.

    "Stop it! Stop right now!"

    However, Qin Jiang didn''t stop at all. He beat him half to death before finally throwing him to the ground. Li Jiany there like a dead dog, unable to even stand steadily.

    Qin Jiang coldly warned, "Dare to talk nonsense again, and I''ll take your life!"

    His voice was filled with murderous intent.

    Li Jian red at Qin Jiang with venom, teeth clenched with killing intent as he watched Qin Jiang walk inside.

    "Call the police! We must call the police!"

    The seductive woman said coldly, "Dear, we absolutely cannot indulge someone like this!"

    Li Jian said bitterly.

    "I won''t just call the police! I know some friends in the underworld. I''ll have them beat him up first and then call the police, make sure he rots in jail!"

    Li Jian''s gaze was icy as he then made a phone call.

    Twenty minutester, three young men hurriedly appeared at the entrance of themunity.

    "Li Jian!"

    "What happened? You got beaten up and called us three brothers to stand up for you?"

    "Feng! Brother Lei! Yu!"

    Seeing the three brothers, Li Jian behaved as affectionately as if he were seeing his father. He hurriedly leaned forward and bowed, saying, "I have great trust in the three brothers'' strength, so I asked you toe over and teach that kid a lesson for me!"

    The three brothers, surnamed Wang, were Wang Feng, Wang Lei, and Wang Yu.

    They were disciples of Chen Lie, the owner of a martial arts gym in Jiangcheng¡ªthe Tianji Martial Arts Gym.

    Chen Lie of Tianji Martial Arts Gym.

    He was a famous Martial Arts Master in Jiangcheng. His strength was ranked second openly among the martial artists in Jiangcheng, and his prowess was indeed formidable.

    Although these three were just ordinary disciples of Chen Lie, when they joined forces, not even dozens of adults could stand against them!

    And Li Jian had met them by chance and now they were well-acquainted with each other.

    Wang Feng sneered, "Fine! Since you''ve asked, we can''t refuse to help. But as usual, we want this much¡­"

    Having said that, Wang Feng spread out five fingers.

    "Fifty thousand?"

    Li Jian winced at the cost, but the prospect of teaching Qin Jiang a lesson made spending tens of thousands seem worthwhile.

    Qin Jiang''s skills had inexplicably improved so much that he was no match. Only these three brothers could possibly teach Qin Jiang a lesson!

    "Okay!"

    He gritted his teeth and agreed.

    In the end, bearing the pain, he transferred the money to them.

    "Don''t worry!" the three brothers, having received the money, immediately beamed with joy and patted Li Jian''s shoulder, "We''ll take care of this for you."

    Over the years, relying on some martial arts they learned from their master, bullying andmitting all sorts of misdeeds had be routine for them.

    As long as they got paid.

    The men put on masks and, following the apartment number Li Jian had given them, they arrived directly in front of Qin Jiang''s door.

    "Open up, delivery."

    Wang Feng knocked on the door arrogantly!

    "Delivery?" Qin Jiang, who had just returned home, furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

    Who ordered a delivery at home?

    He harbored doubts, yet he still opened the door, only to find three men wearing masks standing before him. He sensed something amiss and furrowed his brow, "Who are you?"

    The Wang Family''s Three Brothers didn''t speak; instead, one of them reached out to grab Qin Jiang, attempting to drag him out.

    But Qin Jiang just scoffed coldly, seized the attacker''s hand, and gave it a twist.

    Crack!

    Instantly, Wang Feng''s wrist was dislocated!

    He let out a miserable scream.

    "Big brother!"

    The other two, shocked, struck like lightning, trying to subdue Qin Jiang together.

    Their moves were fierce, clearly those of trained fighters.

    However, to Qin Jiang, such ability was hardly worth mentioning.

    He easily blocked the attacks of the two men.

    Thwack thwack!

    Two punchesnded.

    Both men felt the impact on their faces, wailed in agony, and then Qin Jiang, grabbing their heads, smashed them together, causing both to bleed profusely and copse to the ground, devoid of the capability to fight!

    Wang Feng raised his other hand, trying to strike Qin Jiang, who responded by grabbing his hair and mming his head against the door! His head buzzing, Wang Feng copsed to the ground!

    "Jiang, what''s happening?"

    Inside, Wen Wenling, who heard themotion, immediately came out from within.

    "It''s nothing," Qin Jiang said with a smile, "just a few friends stopping by to catch up."

    Having said that, he stepped out of the door, picked up two of the men like catching chickens, and tossed them outside into the corridor, while the other he kicked several meters away, who rolled on the ground and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

    He then shut the door behind him.

    "Tell me, who sent you here?"

    Qin Jiang''s gaze was unbearably cold, "What is your purpose here?"

    The Wang Family''s Three Brothers looked at Qin Jiang with fear, but still retorted with tough talk, "Kid! Dare to touch us? You''re done for! Our master is the head of the Sky Extreme Martial Hall!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to argue. He walked forward and stepped on their arms.

    "Crack!"

    Bones broke with the sound.

    Qin Jiang lit a cigarette, the murderous intent in his eyes as tangible as ever.

    "Last chance!"

    "If you don''t talk, you guys will stay here forever!"

    Feeling the murderous intent in Qin Jiang''s eyes, the brothers felt a chill run through them.

    They knew they had run into someone vicious this time; not only could Qin Jiang fight, but the aura of lethality he exuded was stronger than anyone they had encountered before.

    They understood that this young man might indeed dare to kill them.

    Or at the very least, disable them.

    A wise man does not court danger.

    Having made up their minds, Wang Feng, gritting his teeth, said, "It was Li Jian who told us toe and teach you a lesson!"

    Li Jian?

    Qin Jiang''s expression darkened slightly, and he slowly squatted down, "So now, do you wish to continue?"

    "We dare not!"

    The three brothers shook their heads repeatedly.

    They too had realized that Qin Jiang was undoubtedly a trained fighter, an extremely strong one at that!

    They were no match for him!

    Continuing to fight against Qin Jiang, were they seeking death?

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "I can let you go, but first, you need to redeem yourselves."

    "Li Jian... you''ll handle him for me!"

    Qin Jiang never waited overnight for revenge. If Li Jian wanted to mess with him, he would teach him a painful lesson.

 Chapter 50: Chapter 50: One Hundred Percent Certainty!

    "Big Brother, you call the shots!"

    Several people swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Go knock out Li Jian for me, strip him naked and tie him at the entrance of the residential area, but remember to leave him some cloth to cover his decency, so it won''t be an eyesore!"

    "This..."

    Several people immediately showed hesitation.

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned cold, "What, you don''t feel like it?"

    Hearing Qin Jiang''s words, they all nodded hurriedly, "Willing, we''re very willing!"

    "Big Brother, we''ll take care of it right away."

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Remember, get it done quickly, or else, I won''t let you leave this residential area!"

    "Yes, yes, yes." The several individuals nodded like pecking chickens.

    Soon after, Qin Jiang stood in the corridor and saw three men dragging the unconscious Li Jian away, before returning to his home.

    He continued preparing the recovery acupuncture for Qin Sisi.

    Nowadays, Qin Sisi could walk almost like a normal person, except for the asional sharp pain during her walk that caused her to wince in pain from time to time.

    Qin Jiang smiled and said, "Sisi, soon, you''ll bepletely recovered."

    "No need for seven days, you''ll be able to return to school and continue your studies."

    A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Sisi''s face, filled with longing.

    She was originally a junior in college, but since breaking her leg, she hadn''t gone to school and chose to take a leave of absence. She couldn''t ept the strange looks from others.

    Now that she could recover and walk like an ordinary person, she naturally felt joyful.

    Qin Jiang thought to himself that it was time to prepare some nourishing substances for Qin Sisi. Her leg bones had been severely damaged and, although she could barely walk now, they were not fully recovered yet.

    It was necessary to repair the broken bones from the root; otherwise, if old issues red upter, it would be even more troublesome. He wondered how things were with Shen Longting.

    He made a phone call to Shen Longting.

    Shen Longting said, "Master, I have prepared most of the items you mentioned! However..."

    Shen Longting said with a wry smile, "Century Tiger Bone is just too rare. I can''t find such an item at the moment. I''m afraid you''ll have to wait, Master."

    Qin Jiang frowned, "Isn''t there any other way?"

    Shen Longting hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is! But it''s quite difficult."

    "Go on!" said Qin Jiang.

    Shen Longting said, "I''ve heard that a year or two ago, Mayor Zhang of Jiangcheng City acquired Century Tiger Bone and even kept it as a collectible without using it."

    "But Mayor Zhang is not the kind of person who can be swayed by money. Moreover, he keeps a low profile, and even my rtionship with him is nothing more than an ordinary acquaintance."

    "How easy could it be to ask Mayor Zhang to part with the Century Tiger Bone? It would be painful for him to give it up," he said.

    Upon hearing this.

    Qin Jiang replied with a light smile, "Mayor Zhang? I see! There''s nothing difficult about that!"

    Wasn''t Zhang Shuqing just asking him to do her a favor?

    It must be to treat Zhang Haosheng''s illness.

    In that case, he would offer the Century Tiger Bone as payment and negotiate with them. Surely, they would be eager to exchange such a thing for a life!

    "Alright! Since that''s the case, I''ll hang up now. Take care of the next steps on your own."

    After Qin Jiang hung up the phone, Shen Longting was somewhat curious. Although he knew his own master was not an ordinary person, Mayor Zhang wasn''t a fool either!

    He was curious why Qin Jiang was so confident that Zhang Haosheng would be willing to part with the Century Tiger Bone.

    Sure enough, in the evening, an impatient Zhang Shuqing called Qin Jiang.

    "Hello, Mr. Qin, good day!"

    Zhang Shuqing greeted him very politely.

    "Speak inly." Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I guess you want me to treat your father''s illness, right?"

    "Exactly!" Zhang Shuqing, seeing that Qin Jiang had guessed her thoughts, admitted frankly, "I indeed have this on my mind. Mr. Qin, could you pleasee and see my father?"

    Qin Jiang said, "My treatmentse with a fee!"

    Zhang Shuqing rejoiced, "As long as you agree, Mr. Qin, name your terms!"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Straightforward! In that case, I won''t hold back¡ªI want the Century Tiger Bone in your possession."

    "Agreed."

    Zhang Shuqing didn''t hesitate and immediately agreed. Compared to her father''s health concerns, what was one Century Tiger Bone?

    "Fine!" Qin Jiang said indifferently, "So when can Ie over?"

    "How about tomorrow? Mr. Qin, could you give me your address so I can personallye to pick you up?"

    The two briefly talked and then hung up the phone.

    The next day, no sooner than Qin Jiang had gotten out of bed, he heard his mother Wen Wenling tell him about Li Jian being hung at the gate.

    This time, Li Jian truly lost face!

    Being stripped to his fat and hung at the entrance of the neighborhood, who could stand such humiliation?

    By doing this, Qin Jiang had already shown him mercy. Had it been someone else, Li Jian would have been half-dead by now!

    Soon, by noon, Zhang Shuqing called again, waiting downstairs.

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang went down as well.

    Seeing Zhang Shuqing, who was dressed casually today, he greeted her.

    "Mr. Qin, please!"

    Qin Jiang nodded slightly and followed her to the speeding car.

    Half an hourter at Mayor Zhang''s mansion.

    Under Zhang Shuqing''s lead, Qin Jiang walked in and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the living room. This man was none other than Jiangcheng''s top figure, and the man who had encountered Qin Jiang twice¡ªMayor Zhang, Zhang Haosheng.

    "Mr. Qin!"

    Seeing Qin Jiange in, Zhang Haosheng enthusiastically came forward to shake his hand.

    Qin Jiang responded politely.

    "Mayor Zhang, hello. You should be aware of the condition I have put forward. Now I need Mayor Zhang to make a painful sacrifice. Can you ept this?"

    A twinge of pain crossed Zhang Haosheng''s mind, but he said firmly, "Rest assured, my word is my bond. If Mr. Qin can cure me, not just one Century Tiger Bone¡ªeven ten I''d be willing to part with."

    After all, he was still young, and there was hope for him to advance further. Moreover, Jiangcheng had been his battlefield for over twenty years, the culmination of his life''s work.

    Now, Jiangcheng finally had the chance for a transformation.

    He had to get better, to continue fighting here, to see the fruits of hisbor.

    On the other hand, he also couldn''t bear to leave his children, his wife, and other rtives and friends behind; thus, he knew well that a healthy body was of utmost importance.

    Qin Jiang nodded, "That''s very good then!"

    Zhang Haosheng asked, "Mr. Qin, may I inquire about your confidence level in this treatment?"

    "A hundred percent," Qin Jiang stated confidently and imperiously, without a trace of hesitation.

    His words stunned both father and daughter; they had not expected Qin Jiang to assert a hundred percent chance, which seemed quite incredible.

    Zhang Haosheng nodded excitedly, "Then, please, Mr. Qin, proceed with your treatment!"

    But, just at that moment!

    "I disagree!" A sharp voice of dissent rose from outside, "Haosheng, what''s this about? Are you actually believing a young whippersnapper iming to be a hundred percent certain?"

    As these words fell, in an instant, a figure of a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.

    Following behind her was a man in a whiteb coat.

 Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Wholeheartedly Convinced!

    "Madam, why have youe back?"

    Seeing the woman return, Zhang Haosheng immediately smiled awkwardly.

    "Mom¡ª" Zhang Shuqing also called out.

    Mu Liusu nodded slightly before ncing at Qin Jiang with a hint of disdain in her eyes, "Young man, my husband''s illness has been examined by countless famous doctors to no avail. What makes you, a youngster, so full of confidence?"

    "At your age, you should be in a hospital, and at most just an intern, right?"

    "Moreover, even if you studied under those old traditional doctors, you''re not old enough to start practicing medicine on your own yet!"

    "Aren''t you afraid of dying by swindling here? If anything happens to my husband, can you take responsibility?"

    Mu Liusu spoke intensely, looking at Qin Jiang disdainfully before casually waving her hand to call a servant over, "Prepare a red envelope of two thousand yuan for this young man, and let him leave!"

    This statement greatly rmed Zhang Shuqing, "Mom, what are you doing? He''s the miracle-working young doctor I managed to invite with great difficulty!"

    Mu Liusu said, "You are young and easily deceived. Your father''s status is different; if anything goes wrong, who will be responsible? I know you care about your father, but you can''t just recklessly seek medical help!"

    Zhang Haosheng also sighed and said, "Madam, Mr. Qin, he¡­"

    "You shut your mouth first." Mu Liusu red at Zhang Haosheng who obediently closed his mouth.

    Looking apologetically at Qin Jiang.

    However, Qin Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, without a trace of fear towards Mu Liusu, nor showing any annoyance or difort, just gazing at her indifferently.

    Mu Liusu continued indifferently, "This gentleman is a divine doctor that I have invited from Jinling. His medical skills are extraordinary, especially in cardiology where he has made significant achievements."

    "Jinling First Hospital, cardiologist¡ªDr. Zhang Daxing."

    Dr. Zhang Daxing, in a white coat, looked at the young man in front of him with undiluted scorn in his eyes.

    "Young man, are you really a doctor? At your age, I was still studying for my master''s degree! I, a medical student of high caliber, wouldn''t dare to practice medicine and save lives at such a young age! Where do you get your courage from?"

    "Is it possible that you''re simply not skilled enough?" Qin Jiang countered calmly.

    "Ridiculous!"

    Zhang Daxing immediately became furious, "Do you know who I am? In the entire field of cardiology in the Divine Land, I, Zhang Daxing, am known as an expert, with very few peers daring topete with me!"

    "I graduated from Harvard Medical School!"

    "I went from a master''s degree to a Ph.D.!"

    "Then, after returning to my homnd from abroad, I served my country and brought glory to it!"

    "I once led our country''s cardiology medical team to win first-ce awards on the international stage, sweeping the medical teams from other countries!"

    "You say I''m not skilled enough?"

    "I want to see just how skilled you are, you little greenhorn!"

    "Which eminent teacher in the medical field have you studied under?"

    "What awards have you received?"

    "How many patients have you saved?"

    "Do you even deserve to boast in front of me?"

    Qin Jiang replied still in a calm tone, "I don''t even know the name of my master. I don''t have any awards. As for the patients I''ve saved, I don''t know if there are as many as yours, but the quality should not be inferior."

    "But, that''s beside the point."

    Upon hearing that, Zhang Daxing burst into derisiveughter, "Then tell me, what exactly is the point?"

    He wore a face full of contempt.

    "You''re obviously a greenhorn stepping out into the world for the first time, speaking carelessly! I can''t be bothered to argue with you!"

    Neither Zhang Shuqing nor her father expected that the doctor Mu Liusu brought back this time would be so remarkable; it seemed that he must indeed be a doctor who has made significant contributions in his field.

    And Qin Jiang was too arrogant, iming the other''s skills weren''t up to par, this¡­

    This is going to escte the conflict!

    Although they knew Qin Jiang was not mediocre, that was just Li Jiushu''s conjecture after all, whereas Zhang Daxing was a genuinely renowned doctor!

    With so many awards and titles to back him up, he definitely wasn''t ordinary.

    At this, they found themselves in a dilemma.

    Zhang Daxing, having lost his temper, nowughed out of anger and asked, "Then tell me, what is the point? All this nonsense, it''s just trying to cover up the truth! There''s not a single useful piece of information!"

    "The point is, I can save your life!" Qin Jiang stared at him and said with a faint smile.

    These words made everyone present stunned.

    Qin Jiang, save Zhang Daxing''s life?

    Even Zhang Daxing himself was confused. He was dazed for a few seconds before he couldn''t help but snort withughter, "Kid, do you know what you''re talking about? Hrious!"

    "I''m perfectly healthy!"

    "Unless there''s an ident, living for a few more decades is no big deal!"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang counter-asked, "So have you been losing your hair like crazytely, and, your physical condition has deteriorated, you''ve been sleepy, asionally experiencing chest pain, loss of appetite? Oh, right, if I''m not mistaken, you sometimes have bloody stools."

    Zhang Daxing was stunned. How did this guy know his physical condition so well?

    But then, it seemed normal. These symptoms, even a dog could have a few!

    This guy was just bluffing.

    He had full health checkups every year.

    Zhang Daxing scoffed, "The symptoms you''re talking about, they''re just somemon, minor issues. They might scare others, but not me. Stop ying tricks."

    "I''m a doctor! I''m busy with work every day, having these subhealth conditions is normal! Do you think I''m like you, just a petty trickster?"

    He was a healer!

    With so many patients in the hospital every day, he had to carefully record and study their conditions.

    It was normal to be overexerted.

    Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Since you don''t believe me, then I''ll mention another symptom that will definitely convince you."

    "Now, press right where your chest and abdomen meet, just press lightly, and you''ll understand what''s going on."

    "Fine, fine, fine!" Zhang Daxing pursed his lips, "Today, I''m going to expose you as a chatan in front of everyone!"

    After speaking, he extended his hand to press the connection between his chest and abdomen.

    Just a light press!

    The next moment...

    "Ah!"

    He couldn''t help but scream in agony, his entire face contorting in pain as he almost kneeled on the ground, nearly passing out, his face clearly drenched in cold sweat!

    This scene shocked everyone, including Mu Liusu...

    "Doctor Zhang, what''s wrong with you?" Mu Liusu hurriedly helped Zhang Daxing up.

    Zhang Daxing still in severe pain, waved his hand and took a good minute or two to recover hisposure...

    "Why, why does it hurt so much?"

    He suddenly began to feel fear.

    Qin Jiang shook his head and said, "As a doctor, you couldn''t even sense that there was something wrong with your own body, how would you exin that?"

    "I..."

    Zhang Daxing was at a loss for words!

    The look he gave Qin Jiang now had less disdain, having been utterly humbled!

 Chapter 52 Tiger Bone Acquired!

    Zhang Daxing''s face was pale, "Then, what on earth is the disease I have?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "If I''m not mistaken, the most likely possibility iste-stage stomach cancer."

    Late-stage stomach cancer!!!

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Daxing instantly turned deathly pale and sat down on the ground with a thud!

    "It''s over..."

    Cancer, an incurable disease!

    Moreover, it''ste-stage; his days were numbered! He was still so young; he didn''t want to die...

    Mu Liusu quickly helped Zhang Daxing up and said, "Doctor Zhang, don''t listen to his nonsense. Maybe you just have a minor illness, and he''s trying to scare you on purpose?"

    Zhang Daxing swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down.

    That''s right!

    Perhaps Qin Jiang had made a misdiagnosis?

    Although he now believed that Qin Jiang possessed genuine medical expertise!

    But to determine he hadte-stage stomach cancer with so little information?

    That seemed too exaggerated...

    He still harbored a ray of hope.

    Qin Jiang spoke lightly, "If you don''t believe it, then forget it. When the timees and it is diagnosed, you cane find me; I can save your life."

    Zhang Daxing nodded.

    Then, Qin Jiang calmly turned to Zhang Haosheng and said, "Mr. Zhang, if you trust me, let me give it a try. If you don''t trust me, I''ll leave!"

    "I''m in a bit of a hurry, and I''m not someone whoes and goes at a beck and call."

    Qin Jiang''s words made everyone a bit awkward. Zhang Haosheng said, "Good! I trust Mr. Qin!"

    "Mr. Qin, please¡ª"

    He extended his hand out.

    "Haosheng, you¡ª" Mu Liusu wanted to say something but was cut off by Zhang Haosheng, "You talk less!"

    With that rebuke, Mu Liusu could only sadly shut her mouth, her face showing an expression of grievance.

    However, Qin Jiang didn''t care about that and simply closed his eyes. After a moment, he slowly opened them again and ced his hand on Zhang Haosheng''s chest.

    "Heart disease?"

    "Correct," Zhang Haosheng nodded.

    "Advanced to a serious stage, myocardial infarction," Qin Jiang said impassively, "Heartbeats are weak."

    "This disease, was it caused by an injury?"

    Zhang Haosheng nodded, "Yes, when I was younger, I was shot, but I was lucky to survive."

    Qin Zhou smiled, "It must have been an iron sand gun, right? There''s damage inside your heart, as well as blood stasis."

    "Not only that, your lungs seem to have residuals from that time which were never removed!"

    Zhang Haosheng''s eyes lit up, "Mr. Qin really has keen eyesight! To be able to see that."

    Qin Jiang remained expressionless; just now, through his True Qi, he had sent True Qi into the other''s body, sensing the differences within the body, which was how he had detected the presence of these foreign bodies.

    Moreover, these residuals within Zhang Haosheng''s body looked about the size of sand grains. They clung to the heart and lungs, easily causing diseases.

    Qin Jiang slowly retracted his hand and said impassively, "Your weak heart muscle and myocardial infarction are quite easy to treat, but the most challenging are the residuals inside your body."

    "Now, they have already grown together with your muscles."

    "Is that so?" Zhang Haosheng frowned, "Does Mr. Qin have a way to cure me?"

    Mu Liusu scoffed, "If he says so, he must not be absolutely certain."

    "I don''t like others interrupting me when I''m treating a disease!"

    The cold voice emerged, and in a moment, Mu Liusu was forced to swallow her words.

    Qin Jiang indifferently took out four silver needles.

    Immediately, with a grave expression, he pierced Zhang Haosheng''s chest with the silver needles.

    The silver needles quivered slightly.

    Qin Jiang slowly channeled his True Qi through the silver needles into Zhang Haosheng''s body.

    This time, his control had to be very precise.

    Only through meticulous control could the True Qi be urately directed to the affected areas, especially to expel the foreign objects within.

    Qin Jiang''s cultivation of the "Supreme Dao Scripture" included very precise methods of controlling True Qi.

    And while cultivating this Supreme Dao Scripture, the Crazy Old Man was extremely strict with him.

    Qin Jiang was not practicing themon art of healing.

    He was a Martial Physician!!

    Ordinary Martial Artists cultivate Inner Strength, which does not have the capacity to heal the human body.

    Qin Jiang, an Ancient Martial Artist, practiced a force that was a level above Inner Strength, which is True Qi. With precise control, it could treat medical conditions.

    Furthermore, the Supreme Dao Scripture was profound and vast, and the True Qi cultivated had attributes that could be gentle or domineering, a very powerful force, which is why it had such effects.

    Even other Ancient Martial Artists did not have True Qi with such powerful effects within their bodies, as their True Qi only had destructive power.

    However, after cultivating the Supreme Dao Scripture, Qin Jiang''s True Qi in his body also possessed healing properties!!

    This technique was nothing short of miraculous!

    A momentter, Qin Jiang pulled out all the silver needles and then pped Zhang Haosheng!

    "Pfft¡ª"

    Zhang Haosheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

    "Dad!"

    "Haosheng!"

    Seeing this scene, several people were suddenly shocked, especially Mu Liusu, who was furious, "What are you doing?"

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "I havepletely eradicated the root of his illness, and now he only needs medication for recuperation. Moreover, it will not recur in the future."

    Upon hearing this, Mu Liusu was furious, "Are you joking with me? Just a simple procedure like this cures the illness? Do you think I''m a fool?"

    Qin Jiang snapped, "Shut up!"

    Then, he looked calmly at Zhang Haosheng and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how do you feel now?"

    Zhang Haosheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastened to reply, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, I feel much better now, that oppressive feeling in my chest is gone!"

    "Mr. Qin, is my illness really cured?"

    He had never seen anyone heal in such a miraculous way before.

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "Just now, when I administered the acupuncture, I left a stream of True Qi in your body that shattered the iron sand residue in your organs."

    "Afterward, with a palm strike, I expelled that residue along with the blood from your body, effectively cutting off the root of your illness."

    Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the fresh blood on the ground and indeed saw the small iron fragments, which had been shattered from the ck iron sand!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    The group sucked in a breath of cold air, what kind of method was this?

    They couldn''t understand it at all!

    Even though the process was bizarre, the results were clearly evident!

    Mu Liusu''s face was filled with disbelief, "Ordinary doctors can''t achieve such a feat."

    However, Qin Jiang spoke lightly, "Have I ever said I was an ordinary doctor?"

    With one sentence, Mu Liusu was rendered speechless.

    Qin Jiang continued calmly, "Bring me some paper and pen. Although the iron sand in your body has been expelled, your heart and lungs have been severely damaged over the years."

    "You still need to recuperate."

    Zhang Shuqing heard this and immediately rejoiced, turned to fetch paper and a pen, and brought them to Qin Jiang.

    "You can start preparing to take out the Tiger Bone," Qin Jiang said indifferently while writing something down.

 Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Iceberg President Zhao Yuefei!

    Zhang Haosheng hurriedly instructed his subordinates, "Quickly bring out the tiger bone that I have been treasuring for many years for Mr. Qin."

    Though the tiger bone was very precious, at that moment, Zhang Haosheng didn''t feel the slightest bit of pain in parting with it.

    Because at that time, he felt incredibly refreshed and invigorated!

    Not only had the iron sand been forced out of his body, but Qin Jiang had also left several streams of True Qi within him to nourish his heart meridian, keeping his heart function in a normal state.

    However, if he wanted to be fully cured, in the end, he would need to rely on medicinal means topletely eradicate the problem.

    Mu Liusu was so shocked at this moment that she was rendered speechless!

    And Zhang Daxing, too, seeing what was happening before him, found it utterly unbelievable and marveled in amazement.

    This man was extraordinary!

    In his eyes, this was no longer merely medical skill!

    It was... magic!

    Amazing!

    After taking a deep breath, he bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Qin, I was rude before, and I apologize here. Please do not take it to heart."

    "After seeing your skills, I am astonished beyond measure..."

    Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "Although your medical skill is mediocre, there''s no need to belittle yourself so. Physicians naturally have their own mission. It''s not about the level of their medical skill but about how many people you can save and how much you contribute to your patients as a physician."

    Although Qin Jiang wasn''t a pure physician, he held a certain respect for practitioners like Zhang Daxing. As long as one could practice medicine and save lives, one should be respected regardless of their skill in medicine.

    Although they had a slight spat earlier, Zhang Daxing was a person of good character who now took the initiative to apologize, and so Qin Jiang naturally wouldn''t hold a grudge against him.

    Feeling ashamed, Zhang Daxing lowered his head, "Sir, I deeply admire your magnanimity! Your words are enlightening to me!"

    Qin Jiang said inly, "If you don''t believe me, you can go to the hospital for a check-up."

    "Don''t rush to have surgery after the check-up."

    He swiftly wrote down a prescription and ced it on the table, telling Zhang Daxing, "Do as I have instructed, and within a month, all the cancer cells in your body willpletely disappear."

    "After taking this medicine, get a check-up every ten days. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Daxing immediately overjoyed, excitedly picked up the prescription.

    "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for saving my life!"

    Having witnessed Qin Jiang''s abilities, he was utterly convinced!

    He had no doubts whatsoever about what Qin Jiang had said!

    After all, Qin Jiang had now demonstrated his formidable strength to them.

    Soon enough, a servant appeared before Qin Jiang, holding the Century Tiger Bone.

    Zhang Haosheng said, "Mr. Qin, please ept this."

    Qin Jiang took the Century Tiger Bone.

    Zhang Haosheng asked, "Mr. Qin, may I know why you need this Century Tiger Bone?"

    Qin Jiang replied, "It''s for my sister."

    Zhang Haosheng, upon hearing this response, chose not to probe further and could only give a dry chuckle.

    "I''ll have my daughter escort you out."

    Zhang Shuqing personally escorted Qin Jiang to the downstairs.

    Qin Jiang thanked her, then went upstairs. Afterward, he instructed Shen Longting to quickly arrange for someone to deliver the things here.

    He was ready to start preparing medicine for his sister.

    Shen Longting said, "Master, your teacher contacted me today."

    "Oh?" Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow, "What did that old man say?"

    Shen Longting replied with a wry smile, "Teacher said you should hurry up and get that painting."

    "I understand."

    Qin Jiang asked, "What is that old man doing now? If he can contact you, why doesn''t he contact me directly?"

    Shen Longting replied, "Teacher ispleting a very important task and can''t spare the time toe right now."

    "Moreover, Sir, since you have a special identity, you cannot have too much contact with him, or else, not only will he face catastrophe, but so will you!"

    "Master, although you possess exceptional talent, ultimately your time cultivating has been too short and you''re not strong enough. Even if you manage to make contact with the Sir now, you might not be able to help him."

    Qin Jiang nodded silently, "Alright then!"

    Although he outwardly showed disdain for the Crazy Old Man, he regarded him as both a mentor and a father figure. After the Crazy Old Man left the prison, Qin Jiang had been searching for clues to find him.

    But Shen Longting was unwilling to disclose even a hint of information.

    Moreover, Qin Jiang knew that the Crazy Old Man seemed to have some connection with his own missing father!

    And when he had asked the Crazy Old Man about it, thetter had been evasive.

    You are still too weak, and there are many things you''re not qualified to know. You are carrying many secrets. If you want to know, the only way is to be stronger!

    Those were the exact words of the Crazy Old Man.

    Qin Jiang had long realized that neither his master nor his father was an ordinary person!

    "First, I''ll make a trip to Zhao Corporation, then to the Qin Family, to retrieve that painting! The Zhao Couple looked after me a lot in prison, it''s just a pity that I couldn''t prevent their untimely deaths... Now, it''s time to meet Zhao Yuefei!"

    In prison, if it had not been for the Zhao Couple''s covert care, he would have starved to death. Not being able to prevent their deaths was a regret in his heart.

    And Xu Muge also needed to establish contact with Zhao Corporation, so it was time for him to seek them out as well.

    Qin Jiang, holding the letter from the Zhao Couple, took a taxi to Zhao Corporation.

    Qin Jiang headed towards Zhao Corporation.

    But he soon realized that something was amiss¡ªZhao Corporation''s first floor was in a state of chaos, a dozen security guards had been beaten to the ground, and the employees all had expressions of fear on their faces!

    What happened?

    Qin Jiang''s eyebrows furrowed as he entered the elevator and went straight to the President''s office.

    Meanwhile...

    In the president''s office of Zhao Corporation.

    Mrs. Zhao sat upright at her desk, her posture stiff and her demeanor indifferent, exuding an aura of intelligence and chill beauty.

    Suddenly...

    The office door burst open as a dozen towering men strode in aggressively!

    Zhao Yuefei looked up in surprise towards the entrance.

    Leading the group was a young man, tall and slender, smiling, "Mrs. Zhao, I apologize for the intrusion without invitation. Hope all has been well with you."

    "Xu Jianghe!?"

    Upon seeing the neer, Zhao Yuefei''s face darkened, "What are you doing here? Get out now, or I''ll have to call someone to throw you out!"

    Xu Jianghe smiled faintly, "Mrs. Zhao, your security guards are too weak. We didn''t break a sweat getting in.

    "They can''t stop me!"

    Upon hearing these words, Zhao Yuefei''s beautiful face turned even colder. Now that Zhang Tianxu, the security department''s expert, was not present, who could stop these thugs?

    Especially this Xu Jianghe!

    He was the Master of one of Jiangcheng''s six major underground forces¡ªDragon Gate. His father was Xu Shilong, one of the top three powerhouses in Jiangcheng''s underworld hierarchy.

    And Xu Jianghe, he too had inherited his father Xu Tianlong''s martial talents, having reached the level of an Inner Strength Master at a young age. Ordinary people couldn''tst a single move against him!

    Xu Jianghe sneered, "Mrs. Zhao, that project of yours is highlypatible with our Dragon Gate Corporation. Coborating with us would be a perfect match."

    "Zhao Family puts in the money, we provide the manpower, profits split fifty-fifty, that''s not too much to ask, is it?"

    "Impossible!" Zhao Yuefei said coolly, "You dreamers!"

    Without putting in a penny, they wanted to share her piece of the cake? Wasn''t this outright robbery?

    Xu Jianghe snorted coldly, "Since Mrs. Zhao insists, I have no choice but to be unreasonable and invite Mrs. Zhao to be a guest at Dragon Gate!"

    After he spoke, he waved his hand and the burly men aggressively closed in!

    Zhao Yuefei abruptly stood up, facing the encroaching men with a frigid look, her pen gripped tightly in her hand!

    Just then!

    A detached yet domineering voice came from outside the door, "I give you ten seconds to get out of my sight!"

 Chapter 54 Kneeling Down to Undo Your Belt!

    Qin Jiang strode in! For a moment, everyone turned their heads to look at Qin Jiang. At such a tense moment, how did this clueless young man suddenly appear?

    Xu Jianghe coldly looked at Qin Jiang and said in a frosty voice, "If you don''t want to die, get lost immediately!"

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "I still have some matters to discuss with her, and I don''t want to be disturbed by others."

    "You still have time to get lost now. Remember, you only have ten seconds!"

    Upon hearing Qin Jiang''s words, in an instant, those from Dragon Gate allughed.

    Especially Xu Jianghe, whoughed with utter disdain and audacity!

    Did this guy have a screw loose?

    How dare he talk to them like that?

    "Kid, have you ever heard of Dragon Gate?" Xu Jianghe sneered.

    "Dragon Gate? Make a call to Xu Tianlong. When he hears the name Qin Jiang, he''ll teach you what to do." Qin Jiang''s tone was still without a hint of emotion.

    "My father is the master of Dragon Gate, and you, a mere nobody, dare to utter his name directly? It seems you are indeed an ignorant bumpkin, no wonder you''re so arrogant!" Xu Jianghe waved his hand, "Cripple him and take Zhao Yuefei away!"

    At hismand, those men charged towards Qin Jiang in an instant.

    Zhao Yuefei watched Qin Jiang with an indifferent look on her face.

    She was very curious about who this man who had suddenly burst into her office was!

    At the same time...

    She was even more curious about who had given him the courage to provoke this group of people?

    He was all alone!

    Had he gone mad?

    Zhao Yuefei felt contempt in her heart. It seemed he was just another clueless young man seeking to impress her by showing off and hoping to win her favor.

    Unfortunately, this time, he had encountered a group of viins led by Xu Jianghe!

    These people from Dragon Gate were all exceptionally skilled and extremely ruthless; this clueless young man was probably going to suffer a great deal!

    But just as these thoughts began to rise in her mind, Qin Jiang made his move.

    And then...

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

    The area was filled with wailing.

    Qin Jiang advanced steadily, while around him, the strong meny scattered on the ground, crying out in pain.

    Zhao Yuefei hadn''t even had time to react when all those guys were already down on the ground!

    He could fight this well?

    A look of shock dawned in Zhao Yuefei''s eyes. It seemed he wasn''t just showing off; he did have some skill.

    However, Xu Jianghe was not someone to be trifled with; he was a genuine Inner Strength Martial Artist! Even the top expert of Xiang Group, when facing Xu Jianghe, would probably find him a handful!

    Xu Jianghe stamped on the floor, springing forward like a catapult!

    The next moment...

    A leg, carrying a fierce wind, swept towards Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang sidestepped to avoid it!

    The door next to him was directly smashed by Xu Jianghe''s kick!

    "You''ve got some skill, kid, but I want to see how many moves you canst!"

    After his whip kick missed, Xu Jianghe immediately stabilized himself and switched to boxing, his fists winded up creating a roaring force as heunched an assault on Qin Jiang!

    Zhao Yuefei, watching the dense shadows of the punches, felt her heart suddenly constricted, with the illusion of being unable to breathe under pressure!

    Qin Jiang threw a punch and in an instant, all the shadows of the punches shattered!

    Xu Jianghe staggered back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his arms numb as if they were about to break off!

    "How can this guy''s power be so profound?"

    While his mind was still in shock, Qin Jiang advanced a step and pped a loud smack across his head!

    Xu Jianghe was directly sent flying, screaming in agony as several teeth were knocked out!

    "You''re seeking death!"

    Furious to the extreme, he leapt up from the ground, eyes red as he charged at Qin Jiang, who responded with a thunderous kick to his abdomen!

    Xu Jianghe was sent flying five or six meters away, crashing into a wall and sliding down, spitting blood and fainting...

    The entire ce was silent!

    Those from Dragon Gate were all stupefied!

    Their young master, a formidable Inner Strength warrior, was easily taken down like that?

    They couldn''t even imagine it!

    For a moment, they looked at Qin Jiang with fear in their eyes...

    Zhao Yuefei felt as if she were dreaming, unable to believe the scene before her!

    This guy, it seems, possessed some boxing skills!

    Qin Jiang swept a cold gaze over the men from Dragon Gate, "Hurry up and take him away!"

    The dozen or so strong men swallowed hard, carrying the unconscious Xu Jianghe away with their tails between their legs.

    Qin Jiang then turned his gaze to Zhao Yuefei, "Zhao Yuefei, right?"

    Zhao Yuefei nodded, "You''re looking for me?"

    She was also observing the young man before her, dressed inly, somewhat handsome, with bright eyes.

    And one more thing... he could fight.

    Her eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it be that you''vee to apply for a job in our security department?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head and directly tossed a letter in front of her, saying indifferently, "This is a letter your parents left for you. Take a look for yourself."

    Upon hearing the words "parents," Zhao Yuefei''s heart trembled violently, and she hurriedly picked up the letter.

    In an instant, the coolness on her pretty face melted away, and her eyes filled with tears.

    Qin Jiang sighed and said, "Mourn with dignity; your parents took good care of me in prison and asked me to look out for you if I ever had the chance. If you have any trouble, just tell me directly."

    "Help me?" Zhao Yuefeiughed, "What can you do to help me?"

    "Ha!" Hearing his boast, Zhao Yuefei''s smile became even more yful.

    She was the President of Zhao Corporation, a top-tier figure in today''s Jiangcheng. Since taking over Zhao Corporation, although she had encountered numerous difficulties, she had resolved them all one by one!

    She was already exceptionally talented; did she need this guy''s help?

    "I don''t need your help. I, Zhao Yuefei, can handle these matters alone."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Since your parents entrusted me with this task, I have promised them, and naturally, I must fulfill it."

    But suddenly, Zhao Yuefei thought of something. "The security department of Zhao Corporation just happens tock a deputy manager, and you have some skills. It would be a perfect fit."

    "A perfect fit..."

    Qin Jiang smiled, finding this woman''s choice of words quite speechless!

    "Fine!"

    Qin Jiang, not wanting to argue with her, simply said, "Contact me if you need something. If not, I generally don''te to work! Remember, the sry must be paid in full!"

    "This is my contact information."

    "Contact me if needed."

    After saying that, he tossed a business card on the table and turned to leave.

    Zhao Yuefei was startled; this was the first time she had seen such an arrogant subordinate!

    Not showing up for work after being hired?

    And still expecting a full sry?

    Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

    However, she didn''t care about such a small sry; what Zhao Corporationcked now was enforcers. Although this guy might not be very useful, for the time being, having him act as a Martial Servant to take the blows was not a problem.

    As for the grand ims Qin Jiang had just made, she didn''t take them seriously at all! What use could a fighter be other than for physical confrontations?

    However, given the current situation, she did indeed need to consider starting to cultivate her own forces...

    Her own parents had died for no reason because they were too clean-handed, always trying to do things ording to the merchant''s code! They had no power to resist against those who employed dirty and underhanded tactics!

    She, Zhao Yuefei, would not continue down her parents'' old path!

    Moreover, the power behind her parents'' deaths was not to be underestimated. If she wanted revenge, she would need a strong team to support her!

    A cold glint appeared in Zhao Yuefei''s eyes.

    The next moment!

    She received an urgent call...

    "Not good! President, our Zhao Corporation is being surrounded by people from Dragon Gate!"

    "Outside, there must be at least a hundred cars..."

    Hearing this, Zhao Yuefei''s face changed drastically!

    She immediately phoned Qin Jiang, with a yful tone, "Deputy Manager, there''s work to do. Solve the trouble you''ve stirred up before leaving!"

    "The people from Dragon Gate have already surrounded this ce..."

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Dragon Gate is nothing to fear; I''ll be waiting for you downstairs."

    Zhao Yuefei sneered; this guy sure talked big!

    This wasn''t just three or two minor hooligans, it was at least a hundred cars!

    Zhao Yuefei took a deep breath, her face regaining its aloofness as she walked out of the office and went straight to the Zhao Corporation''s lobby.

    Qin Jiang sat in the VIP area, expressionlessly watching the dense array of cars outside.

    Zhao Yuefei walked over and asked, "So, seeing so many people, you are not the least bit afraid?"

    Qin Jiang replied calmly, "What is there to be afraid of?"

    Zhao Yuefei sneered and reminded him, "Let me tell you, the person you beat up just now is the son of Xu Tianlong, the leader of Dragon Gate, and you kicked him unconscious. Xu Tianlong will definitely seek revenge!"

    "Xu Tianlong, not only the head of Dragon Gate but also an Inner Strength Master! Hisbat capability easily ranks within the top ten of Jiangcheng!"

    "He could kill you with a single punch."

    As Zhao Yuefei said this, a yfully smile appeared on her lips; she lit a slim cigarette, crossed her long jade legs, and looked mockingly at Qin Jiang, "I''m telling you all this to let you know, it''s not toote to run now!"

    "Don''t throw away your life just to show off."

    Hearing Zhao Yuefei''s words, Qin Jiangughed, "Run?"

    Zhao Yuefei scoffed, "I know you want to repay a debt of gratitude, but you need to measure your own abilities. If you risk your life over a request from my mother, is it worth it?"

    "Of course it''s worth it," Qin Jiang said seriously. "A promise made by a gentleman is worth more than gold. If it weren''t for your parents, I would have starved to death long ago."

    Zhao Yuefei continued, "Xu Tianlong is no small-time thug; he''s decisive and extremely ruthless. If you fall into his hands, it''s as good as death!"

    Qin Jiang responded with a yful smile, "Mrs. Zhao, how about we make a bet?"

    Zhao Yuefei exhaled a puff of smoke, parting her red lips, "What do you want to bet on?"

    Qin Jiang tapped the table with his finger, "I bet that as soon as Xu Tianlong sees me, he will immediately kneel and crawl over to me and tie my shoces."

    "Heh," Zhao Yuefei sneered dismissively, "And if you lose?"

    Qin Jiang counter-asked, "If I lose, I''ll be dead. What else would you expect from me?"

    A mocking smile appeared on Zhao Yuefei''s beautiful face, "It seems you do know yourself well."

    "Fine, I''ll take your bet! If you can make Xu Tianlong kneel before you voluntarily, then I too will kneel before you. While he ties shoces, I will undo a belt!"

    "How about that?"

 Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Dragon Gate is Here!

    Qin Jiang was slightly stunned when he heard these words!

    This woman¡­ was she really making such a big deal out of it?

    Looking at the cold, arrogant face of Zhao Yuefei brimming with provocation, Qin Jiang''s mind was momentarily filled with wild thoughts. If this proud woman truly knelt in front of him, and proceeded to...

    Who could withstand that?

    "Ahem!" Qin Jiang coughed lightly and said, "Mrs. Zhao, I suggest you choose your words carefully. After all, words spoken are like water spilled."

    Zhao Yuefei sneered, "What? One moment you''re all assertive, and now you''ve gone soft?"

    In her eyes, there was added scorn, as if she had already seen through the true face of this poser.

    Qin Jiang calmly said, "I''m afraid you can''t afford to lose."

    So what if he had hit Xu Tianlong''s son? When Xu Tianlong saw him, he had to lie down obediently and kneel on the ground to apologize!

    After all, he held Xu Tianlong''s life in his hands! How could he dare to act rashly towards him?

    The entire Zhao Corporation was in a state of panic, seeing those densely packed cars blocking their entrance so tightly that not even water could get through, they all panicked!

    The Dragon Gate Gang members, each looking ferocious and intimidating, were only standing outside, but they imposed an overwhelming sense of pressure, creating a suffocating atmosphere as if a storm was impending.

    Dragon Gate!!!

    The strongest among the six major underground forces in Jiangcheng!

    Even the Zhao Corporation had to temporarily avoid its edge in front of them!

    But, such an open confrontation between two major powers was unprecedented!

    For the first time in history!

    "What''s going on?"

    "Why would Dragon Gate suddenly target our Zhao Corporation?"

    "And why would they mobilize so many people all at once?"

    "Oh my God! That''s almost half of Dragon Gate''s forces rushing over here, isn''t it?"

    "I heard that today, the son of the Dragon Gate Sect Master was knocked unconscious in ourpany¡­"

    "So, Dragon Gate Sect Master Xu Tianlong became furious and issued an order calling all Dragon Gate disciples toe to Zhao Corporation, to seek justice for his son!"

    Many of the employees were shivering with fear!

    They were just ordinary people; how could they have ever seen such a grand scene?

    Once Dragon Gate''s people broke into Zhao Corporation, would these ordinary people get caught in the crosshairs?

    Thinking of this, their faces turned somewhat pale!

    "Huh¡ª¡ª"

    Zhao Yuefei was also deeply worried. It seemed that Xu Tianlong was truly enraged. Now, it would be tough for Zhao Corporation to avoid taking a loss!

    After all, under the current circumstances, if Zhao Corporation didn''t give up a piece of flesh, Xu Tianlong would never let things rest! She just needed to make a concession to save herself!

    But what about Qin Jiang, the one who made a move on Xu Jianghe?

    Xu Tianlong would definitely not let him off!

    Seeing how calm andposed Qin Jiang was, without the slightest sense of pressure, Zhao Yuefei''s curiosity grew even stronger.

    Where on earth did this guy get his confidence from!!!

    Outside, there were easily a four-digit number of people!

    Time ticked away second by second.

    The whole front gate of the Zhao Corporation was sealed off by a dark mass of people.

    They just stood beside their cars.

    Yet not a single person dared to go in or out of the Zhao Corporation!

    The employees of Zhao Corporation were even more terrified, as the sense of oppression in their hearts grew heavier.

    Just at that moment, a young figure, nked by a group of security guards, strode over.

    "Mrs. Zhao!"

    The young man bowed his head with utmost respect in front of Zhao Yuefei!

    He was tall and muscr, with piercing eyes indicative of someone well-practiced, sporting a buzz cut that added to his energetic appearance, and his features were sharp andmanding!

    This man was none other than the current manager of Zhao Corporation''s security department, the strongest person in the Zhao Corporation, and the security department itself, Zhang Tianxu!

    He led a team of bodyguards and rushed over posthaste.

    "Manager Zhang has arrived?" Zhao Yuefei said indifferently, "Prepare to stand by."

    Although Zhao Yuefei had prepared for the worst in her heart, she was not willing to let the prize slip through her fingers without a fight under the current circumstances!

    With Zhang Tianxu there, perhaps, there was a glimmer of hope to salvage the situation.

    Zhang Tianxu was currently the strongest within the Zhao Family, with extraordinary skills, not much less aplished than Xu Jianghe; most importantly, he had a mammoth backing him, Huang Tianji, the second-ranking Martial Arts Master in Jiangcheng!

    Zhang Tianxu was indeed Huang Tianji''s proud disciple.

    With Huang Tianji''s strength even surpassing that of the Dragon Gate Sect Master Xu Tianlong, bringing out this mountainous figure, Huang Tianji, might be enough to curb the arrogance of Xu Tianlong and make him think twice about being so domineering.

    Zhang Tianxu cast a nce over Qin Jiang, who was by Zhao Yuefei''s side, and asked with a frown, "Mrs. Zhao, who is this...?"

    His gaze swept up and down Qin Jiang, filled with a touch of hostility, as he knew that Zhao Yuefei rarely interacted with men, the only one she truly trusted was himself.

    Qin Jiang''s presence was a bit irritating to him.

    Zhao Yuefei said indifferently, "This is the new Deputy Manager of our security department at Zhao Corporation."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianxu''s expression trembled slightly, his gaze falling on Qin Jiang, "Mrs. Zhao, does this guy have that kind of strength?"

    Zhao Yuefei replied calmly, "Just now, he took down Xu Jianghe with a single kick."

    After hearing this, Zhang Tianxu was also shocked, andughed, "Not bad, it seems that brother is also a martial artist, truly qualified to work under me."

    He patted Qin Jiang on the shoulder, chuckling, "From now on, you''ll work with me."

    Qin Jiang replied calmly, "That won''t be necessary. I will only lend a hand when Mrs. Zhao needs it, but otherwise, I won''t being to thepany. Manager, you don''t need to try to get close to me, and I have no interest in the Zhao Corporation''s power struggles."

    Qin Jiang''s words rubbed Zhang Tianxu the wrong way. "You''ll only lend a hand when needed? Do you really think you''re invincible just because you took down Xu Jianghe? Don''t be so arrogant!"

    "In Jiangcheng, there are no less than twenty to thirty people who can defeat Xu Jianghe."

    "The outside world is vast."

    "I hope you''ll venture out more and see for yourself, instead of thinking too highly of your abilities!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Save that advice for yourself."

    Zhang Tianxu snorted coldly.

    Zhao Yuefei said, "Manager Zhang, let it go. Thepany is in desperate need of talents right now. Qin Jiang''s joining can strengthen our team, I hope you can understand."

    Zhang Tianxu replied coldly, "Then Mrs. Zhao, is he under my management, or yours?"

    Zhao Yuefei was taken aback.

    Qin Jiang, however, said gravely, "I''m not under anyone''s management, you don''t have the credentials for that."

    Who had the credentials to manage him?

    The only reason he had agreed to help Zhao Yuefei was out of respect for the Zhao Couple.

    "Arrogant!" Zhang Tianxu sneered, "Let''s see if you can continue to be this arrogantter!"

    It was then that...

    "Boom boom boom¡ª"

    A series of ear-piercing engine roars approached.

    A mboyant Hummer burst through the dense crowd like a bolt of lightning, smashing through the ss doors of Zhao Corporation and barging in!

 Chapter 56 Come here and kneel before me!

    "Lord Long has arrived!"

    "Oh my god¡ª"

    "So arrogant, so domineering!"

    "Worthy of being one of Jiangcheng''s overlords... Such a proud and invincible demeanor!"

    Everyone was filled with fear and trepidation.

    "Lord Long!"

    When Xu Tianlong arrived, in an instant, the whole scene boiled over! The members of the Dragon Gate Gang outside also began to shout with raised arms!

    "Justice!"

    "Justice!"

    Suddenly, their voices swept through the entire Zhao Corporation, with people continuously pouring in from outside, their voices deafening, striking terror into the hearts of all the employees at Zhao Corporation!

    Behind Xu Tianlong, three more cars arrived in quick session.

    The Three War Gods had also arrived!!!

    Xu Tianlong, taking the lead, walked out from the Hummer with an overwhelming presence.

    He was wearing an open-chested trench coat today.

    With that tall and burly stature, he looked imposing and awe-inspiring, with a natural authority!

    The Three War Gods followed closely behind.

    Add to that the continuously flooding members of the Dragon Gate Gang; their aura and presence were formidable to the extreme.

    Zhao Yuefei nced at Qin Jiang and said coldly, "Still not scared?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head.

    Zhao Yuefei said, "One person with a knife could kill you. You must be oblivious to danger."

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "Xu Tianlong doesn''t even qualify as a younger brother in front of me!"

    "Hahaha¡ª" Zhang Tianxu couldn''t help butugh out loud.

    Even his master, Huang Tianji, wouldn''t dare to make such a im.

    Too arrogant, too outrageous.

    Xu Tianlong himself was one of the top ten masters in Jiangcheng andmanded a vast force; his desperados were enough for him to dominate half of Jiangcheng!

    Yet this guy dared to make such wild statements?

    Zhao Yuefei knitted her brows and asked, "Tianxu, can you handle this?"

    Zhang Tianxu said, "If I put forth my master''s name, perhaps I could help you resolve this issue."

    "At the very least, your life won''t be in danger!"

    He exuded confidence.

    Zhao Yuefei asked, "What if I want to ensure Qin Jiang''s safety?"

    Zhang Tianxu gave Qin Jiang a chilling nce and said coldly, "Can''t help with that!"

    Zhao Yuefei continued, "He offended Xu Jianghe because of me; no matter what, I am responsible for this matter. Treat it as helping me out."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianxu said, "Fine! Since Mrs. Zhao has asked, I''ll reluctantly give a hand."

    After speaking, he directed his icy gaze at Qin Jiang and said, "Youe with me. Kneel before Lord Long, admit your mistake, and let Lord Long decide how to deal with you. With my support, perhaps, Lord Long might go easy on you!"

    "Breaking one of your legs as a punishment, maybe then this matter might be settled. Otherwise, without me stepping in, today, probably no one here can save you!"

    He was full of pride, as though he was bestowing a favor.

    "Oh?" Qin Jiang lifted his head calmly and asked, "Why should I kneel before him?"

    Zhang Tianxu snorted coldly, "Ignorant fool! You''re seeking your death! Do you know Lord Long''s strength? Do you understand the power of Dragon Gate? I''m intervening to solve this for you, and self-maiming a leg is merely giving you a chance to live!"

    "I''m offering you a chance to live, don''t be ungrateful. If it weren''t for Mrs. Zhao''s sake, I couldn''t care less about your fate!"

    "No need." Qin Jiang said coldly, "Xu Tianlong wouldn''t dare act rashly in front of me."

    "Ridiculous!" Zhang Tianxu snorted coldly, "If that''s the case, then you just wait for death!"

    After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Xu Tianlong, who was approaching with a menacing aura.

    Zhao Yuefei frowned, "Are you sure you want to fight Xu Tianlong to the death?"

    "You should ask Xu Tianlong if he dares to fight me to the death!" Qin Jiang replied, his tone as calm as ever.

    With his back to the door, he could sense several killing intents closing in behind him!

    Zhao Yuefei sat opposite him, her gaze fixed on the approaching Xu Tianlong, her red lips slightly parting.

    "Xu Tianlong is ruthless in his actions. If he makes a move, you might lose your life. Zhang Tianxu''s master is none other than Huang Tianji, the second-ranked Martial Arts Master in Jiangcheng!"

    "So, if he uses his master to pressure Xu Tianlong, maybe you really have a chance to live, but now... it all depends on Xu Tianlong''s mood."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I said, in a while, Xu Tianlong will kneel before me and tie my shoces."

    "You''ll see."

    "As for Mrs. Zhao you..."

    Qin Jiang''s yful gaze fell on Zhao Yuefei.

    Zhao Yuefei thought about what she had said earlier, which indeed¡­ was a bit suggestive.

    But this guy, on the brink of death, was still thinking about such things, which was really speechless.

    Zhao Ruge sneered, "If you really have this ability, I will fulfill my promise in public, how about that?"

    Qin Jiang chuckled dryly; even if this woman dared, he wouldn''t dare¡ªin a public setting, it wouldn''t look good.

    Zhang Tianxu confidently approached with a smile, "Lord Long, it''s a pleasure to meet you!"

    Xu Tianlong''s eyes were somber, "Who are you?"

    Zhang Tianxu confidently replied, "My name is Zhang Tianxu, manager of the Zhao Corporation''s security department! I am also Mrs. Zhao''s trusted aide, and my master is Huang Tianji!"

    Upon hearing the name Huang Tianji, a hint of wariness shed in Xu Tianlong''s eyes, but he quickly became scornful, "You dare to use Huang Tianji to pressure me?"

    Zhang Tianxu smiled, "Dare not! Dare not! It''s just a mention to Lord Long, hoping that Lord Long can do me a favor and not make things difficult for Mrs. Zhao!"

    Xu Tianlong snorted coldly, "What are you? If your master himself were here, maybe, I would give you some face! But you¡­ what are you worth!"

    "Get out of the way!"

    A murderous aura exploded from Xu Tianlong.

    "Today, whether it''s Zhao Yuefei or the one who hit my son, they all have to pay a price! Whoever dares to block me, they can all damn well die!"

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianxu''s expression darkened slightly, "Lord Long, that''s how little face you''re giving?"

    Xu Tianlongughed furiously and advanced withrge strides, his hand whipping out a hard p, "Do you think you''re worthy of any face from me? Look at yourself in the mirror!"

    Xu Tianlong''s p fell with great force and momentum!

    Zhang Tianxu hurriedly raised his hand to block!

    But Xu Tianlong''s strength was far greater than his, and the p sent him stumbling back several steps, his arm going numb.

    Then...

    "Smack! Smack! Smack!"

    Under the gaze of all, Zhang Tianxu was pped several times in session, retreating step by step, until he was finally smacked to the ground, continuously spitting out blood!

    Xu Tianlong huffed, "Dare to block the way again! Kill!"

    He kept advancing, shouting loudly, "Who is Zhao Yuefei? And who touched my son? Step out now and ept your fate!"

    His presence was overwhelming, and with that roar, the entire scene fell silent.

    It''s all over...

    The employees of Zhao Corporation mourned for Qin Jiang in silence; to have offended Xu Tianlong''s son, this was surely the end¡­

    "It was me!" Qin Jiang''s calm andposed voice echoed through the crowd like thunder, "Now, crawl over here and kneel before me, and I might let you off lightly!"

    What?! The crowd was astounded!

    Had this man lost his mind?

 Chapter 57 Jealous Rage!

    All eyes converged on the source of the voice!

    In front of Zhao Yuefei, there sat a young man!

    The arrogant words that had just burst forth hade from this young man!

    Madness...

    To actually dare to provoke Xu Tianlong! Even with Mrs. Zhao intervening, it was absolutely impossible to save him...

    Zhang Tianxu struggled to rise from the ground, snorted coldly, and said, "This guy is really seeking death, even daring to add insult to injury by continuing to provoke Lord Long!"

    Zhang Tianxu chuckled coldly in session.

    Qin Jiang, this guy, would soon pay the price for his audacity!

    Xu Tianlong, who didn''t even give face to his own master, was certain to wipe Qin Jiang out.

    Not even the gods could save him now!

    However, upon hearing the yful voice, Xu Tianlong''s body suddenly shivered! He swiftly shifted his gaze and finally saw a figure from the side!

    Two people were sitting at that table.

    One, an extremely morous and sexy woman.

    The other was the young man with his back towards them, a silhouette Xu Tianlong found all too familiar!

    His body began to tremble slightly.

    Then, the young man turned in his chair, faced Xu Tianlong, and locked eyes with him.

    Xu Tianlong was petrified with fear!!!

    The three juggernauts shivered as well.

    All of them turned pale, as if they were made of paper, quickening their pace!

    The gang members, filled with righteous indignation, were moring to have Qin Jiang severely taught a lesson by Xu Tianlong.

    Their cries were earth-shattering, making hearts pound furiously!

    "Shut up!!!"

    Upon hearing the scattered heckling of his subordinates, Xu Tianlong immediately turned back and roared angrily.

    "Hmph! Now, let''s see how you''ll keep up your act," Zhang Tianxu sneered continuously, covering his cheek. He had long been displeased with Qin Jiang, who, despite Zhang''s magnanimity in allowing him to kneel and save his life, still dared to act haughty with him.

    Now, do you understand what ''death'' means?

    Zhao Yuefei also tensed up in her heart!

    After all, the rage in Xu Tianlong''s heart upon learning of his son''s incapacitation was terrifying enough, and Jiangcheng''s recent provocation was adding fuel to the fire!

    If she didn''t step in now, Qin Jiang would be finished.

    "Forget it...," Zhao Yuefei sighed helplessly in her mind. "Take the loss!"

    Having said that, she stood up, intending to say something to Xu Tianlong!

    However...

    Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

    Five or six meters away from Qin Jiang, Xu Tianlong, who was walking briskly, suddenly knelt upright before Qin Jiang, sliding on the ground and copsing in front of him!

    The three juggernauts behind him did the same!

    "Mr. Qin!"

    Xu Tianlong''s appearance shocked everyone present!

    Zhao Yuefei, in particr, narrowed her eyes, her red lips parting, her face a mix of disbelief!

    Xu Tianlong, actually kneeling before this guy? This... this...

    Keep in mind that Xu Tianlong was the leader of Dragon Gate, the foremost among the six powerful forces! One dragon, two tigers, three tyrants¡ªdividing Jiangcheng! That title was self-exnatory!

    But now, he was actually kneeling before Qin Jiang?

    Zhao Yuefei couldn''t calm down for a long time!

    Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Qin Jiang slowly hooked his finger, signaling Xu Tianlong toe closer.

    Xu Tianlong approached with trepidation!

    And then...

    "p!"

    A crisp sound!

    In an instant, a clear p mark appeared on Xu Tianlong''s face, causing him to wince in pain.

    "Xu, with such a big force you''ve created, now that you have people and money, can''t you fucking take the straight path?"

    "Every day you''re taking these sidetracks, bullying and dominating the market. Tell me, is there any need for Dragon Gate to exist?"

    Xu Tianlong suddenly felt a chill in his body and hurriedly knocked his head on the ground repeatedly, his forehead even bleeding!

    "Mr. Qin! Mr. Qin! Please give me a chance!"

    "I am already trying to improve, and I''ve even established Dragon Gate Corporation, dealing only in legitimate business! The reason I came to see Mrs. Zhao was also for legitimate business!"

    "Smack!"

    Qin Jiang pped him again, saying coldly, "You call seizing by force legitimate business?"

    Xu Tianlong wanted to cry but had no tears, showing a smile uglier than crying, "Mr. Qin, my idiot son was ignorant and offended you and Mrs. Zhao. I''m truly sorry."

    "I will surely teach him a lesson when I get back!"

    Qin Jiang raised his foot in front of him, "My shoce hase undone, tie it for me."

    Under the shocked and astonished gazes of countless people, Xu Tianlong, like a dog, crawled forward on his hands and knees to tie Qin Jiang''s shoces!

    Zhao Yuefei saw the yful look in Qin Jiang''s eyes and even her cold, beautiful face couldn''t help but blush.

    The hint in Qin Jiang''s eyes couldn''t have been more obvious.

    This guy...

    However, it was her own fault for getting carried away and saying such things earlier! Thinking back on it now, it was so embarrassing! Kneeling in front of Qin Jiang to unbuckle his belt, how shameful would that scene be?

    After tying the shoces, Xu Tianlong retreated and said with trepidation, "Mr. Qin, they''re tied."

    Qin Jiang nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Remember! If I see you Dragon Gate people misbehaving and bullying the market again, I''ll take your life, Xu Tianlong, first!"

    "Get lost!"

    "Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Tianlong immediately stood up, grateful for the reprieve. Bowing and scraping, he apologized repeatedly to Qin Jiang, and then left with his subordinates scrambling away in a panic!

    The atmosphere was still filled with shock, horror, and disbelief! Whether it was employees of Zhao Corporation or the people from Dragon Gate, everyone was dumbfounded!

    They had rushed here full of bravado, ready to showcase the power of Dragon Gate, but at the sight of their boss, they knelt... they knelt...

    They werepletely dumbstruck.

    After the people from Dragon Gate had left, the employees of Zhao Corporation finally let out a sigh of relief.

    Zhao Yuefei looked at Qin Jiang in amazement and nodded, "I didn''t expect it, but you really have some skill. I admit I misjudged you before."

    Qin Jiang smiled mockingly, "What''s this, Mrs. Zhao, are you nning to keep your promise in public?"

    Zhao Yuefei''s pretty face tensed, and she gritted her teeth, "Fine then!"

    Saying this, she stood up, as if intending to go in front of Qin Jiang and scoffed coldly, "Stand up, I will kneel to unbuckle your belt, and then..."

    Qin Jiang saw her hostile expression and quickly chuckled twice, "Just kidding! Just kidding!"

    Zhang Tianxu came over with a disgruntled face, looking at Qin Jiang with eyes full of jealousy.

    This guy had stolen all the limelight in front of Zhao Yuefei.

    And he himself had been pped several times by Xu Tianlong without being able to fight back, utterly embarrassed! The contrast made him feel incredibly inadequate!

    Seeing Qin Jiang''s nearly dismissive gaze, he clenched his teeth in anger! That look was like a knife stabbing into his heart, causing him extreme difort!

    This dismissive attitude was even more humiliating than mockery! He wished he could just find a hole to crawl into...

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Mrs. Zhao, if there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving now. Remember what I said earlier, contact me if there''s anything."

    With that, he didn''t wait for Zhao Yuefei''s response and walked straight out the door of Zhao Corporation.

    Zhang Tianxu said darkly, "Mrs. Zhao, that guy doesn''t seem to put you in his eyes at all."

    Zhao Ruge replied indifferently, "He''s got the ability; he doesn''t need to put me in his eyes! If you can make Xu Tianlong end up like that, you can disregard me too!"

    Zhang Tianxu''s face turned awkward, and he dared not make a sound.

    Zhao Yuefei said, "Tianxu, you''ve worked hard today. Go back and rest, and don''t forget to tend to your injuries."

    "Yes!"

    Upon hearing Zhao Yuefei''s concern, Zhang Tianxu''s heart leapt with joy, but before he could speak further, Zhao Yuefei had turned and left in her high heels!

    Staring at Zhao Yuefei''s graceful retreating figure, Zhang Tianxu''s eyes flickered uncontrobly.

    After Zhao Yuefei returned to her office, she slightly narrowed her eyes and dialed her secretary''s number, "Go check out this guy''s background for me!"

    Not long after Qin Jiang left Zhao Corporation, he encountered Zhang Tianxu, who had caught up from behind with a grim look, walking up and patting Qin Jiang on the shoulder.

    "What is it?"

    Qin Jiang turned around and asked coldly.

 Chapter 58 Bringing Disgrace Upon Oneself!

    "I want to have a fight with you!"

    Zhang Tianxu said coldly.

    Qin Jiang''s lips curved up, and he shook his head, "You''re not my match, don''t humiliate yourself."

    "Bastard!"

    Zhang Tianxu sneered, "What are you pretending for? I don''t know why Xu Tianlong is so scared of you, but I want to have a fair duel with you!"

    "Whoever loses must leave Yufei!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered topete with him and waste his time.

    He knew Zhang Tianxu was hypersensitive because he feared Qin Jiang would threaten his own status, wanting to trample Qin Jiang in front of Zhao Yuefei!

    "Childish." Qin Jiang shook his head. "I don''t want to deal with you."

    Zhang Tianxu sneered, "I think you are scared!"

    After saying that, he quickly stepped forward, his fingers formed into a w, trying to grab Qin Jiang''s shoulder!

    Qin Jiang shrugged his shoulder, releasing a rebounding force that shook off his hand!

    With that shake, Zhang Tianxu felt a tingling numbness in his palm; his eyes suddenly darkened, and he threw a straight punch right at Qin Jiang''s chest,ing fiercely!

    But Qin Jiang merely lifted his arm in a big arc, deflecting his arm directly!

    "Bang!"

    The moment their arms collided, Zhang Tianxu felt as if his hand was about to split!

    The intense pain was unbearable.

    Afterward, Qin Jiang pped his chest. Zhang Tianxu was sent flying,nding on the ground, vomiting blood!

    Qin Jiang swept a cold nce at him and, not bothering to continue, turned around and left!

    "Damn it!"

    Zhang Tianxu, having suffered a great loss and full of indignation, stood up from the ground and, with a dark look in his eyes, chased after him, aiming a palm at the top of Qin Jiang''s head.

    "Courting death!"

    Feeling a strong wind from behind, Qin Jiang immediately turned back, and seeing Zhang Tianxu''s ferocious attack, he didn''t hold back either, directly grabbing his wrist and twisting hard!

    Crack¡ª

    Zhang Tianxu''s joint dislocated, and he screamed in pain.

    Immediately following...

    Qin Jiang delivered a knee to his abdomen; Zhang Tianxu spat out yet another mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the ground after the final chopping strike!

    Qin Jiang got into a taxi and left without looking back.

    Meanwhile, Qin Jiang, having returned from Zhao Corporation, immediately proceeded to prepare medicine for Qin Sisi upon reaching home. After finishing, he personally stewed a pot of chicken soup and took it to Xu Muge.

    At Xu Group, Qin Jiang, holding a thermal lunch box, stepped out of the taxi.

    He had already called Muge, but she was busy, so she asked Qin Jiang to wait for her at the entrance for a while.

    Qin Jiang stood quietly in the lobby with the thermal lunch box, waiting for Muge toe down.

    "Qin Jiang!"

    Just then, a grinding voice sounded. Qin Jiang turned back and, surprisingly, it was Li Jian.

    Dragging his corpulent body, he came with a gaze filled with rage, his fists clenched as if he wanted to tear Qin Jiang apart!

    He was stripped and tied up at the door by the Wang Family''s Three Brothers, and he lost all his face!

    All thanks to this guy!

    Qin Jiang looked at him with a sneer.

    "What? Haven''t had enough lessons? If you don''t want to get beaten up again, then scram!"

    Li Jianughed angrily, "Qin Jiang, have you gone mad? Who do you think you are? Do you know whose territory this is? How dare you be arrogant to me?"

    Li Jian raged, "This is Xu Group! It''s where I work! Is this a ce for a bumpkin like you? Are you here to humiliate yourself?"

    "Don''t you look at your shabby self, whether you are worthy to enter here at all!"

    "I''m here to see my fianc¨¦e, what''s it to you?" Qin Jiang said coldly.

    "Fianc¨¦e?" Li Jian burst into wildughter, "Who''s your fianc¨¦e? Which hooker? Let''s hear it! Don''t tell me it''s some toilet cleaning auntie? With your dog-like appearance, which woman would want to be yours!"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "My fianc¨¦e is Xu Muge, President of Xu Group."

    "Pfft¡ª"

    Li Jian couldn''t help but startughing, "Hahaha! I''m dying ofughter!"

    "Qin Jiang, do you know what you''re saying?"

    "The current acting president of our Xu Group is Miss Xu, Xu Muge! Xu Muge, do you know her? One of Jiangcheng''s four great beauties! You, such a loser, could not match President Xu even if you were reborn a hundred times!"

    "Get out of here!"

    Li Jian spoke aggressively.

    Qin Jiang, expressionless, said, "Are you sure? Later, don''t regret it!"

    "Regret it?"

    Li Jian sneered in disdain, "Security! Get him out immediately!"

    He shouted, and several security guards rushed over.

    "Director Li! What are your orders?"

    "Get him out!" Li Jian sneered, "This lunatic is talking nonsense, iming that our President Xu is his fianc¨¦e! I think this guy intends to hurt our President, so get him thrown out!"

    The security guards immediately approached, their tone hostile, "Sir! Please leave immediately! Otherwise, we''ll have to forcibly remove you!"

    Qin Jiang said, "I''m waiting for Muge, I just spoke to her on the phone, and she''sing down soon."

    "Pfft¡ª" Even the security guards couldn''t hold back theirughter, scoffing, "Kid, what kind of dream are you talking about?"

    "Our President Xu, is she someone you can fantasize about? Scram now! Otherwise, we''ll be rough with you!"

    The men brandished their electric batons.

    Li Jian shouted, "Why waste words with this loser? Knock him out and throw him out now!"

    Hearing this, the security guards hesitated no longer and switched on the electric batons!

    Just at this moment!

    "Stop!"

    A sharp shout came!

 Chapter 59: Chapter 59 A Kiss...

    Xu Muge, d in high heels, approached with an imposing aura, dignified and majestic!

    Everyone looked at her with awe.

    "Qin Jiang!" Xu Muge walked over, kissed him on the cheek, and smoothly took the chicken soup from his hands.

    "Hiss¡ª" This scene left everyone presentpletely stunned!

    Was President Xu...

    Showing off her love?

    Howe they had no idea when President Xu had started dating?

    Likewise, Li Jian was so shocked that his jaw dropped, his face a picture of disbelief!

    Qin Jiang was just a damn loser, how could he possibly be involved with a peerless beauty like Xu Muge? What did he have to deserve it! And, most importantly, Xu Muge was not just acquainted with Qin Jiang, she was his fianc¨¦e!

    This made him feel like the sky was falling...

    Are the goddesses of today all so blind?

    No! Wrong!

    It must be this guy''s sweet talk that hadpletely charmed Xu Muge!

    Li Jian hurriedly said, "President Xu! You must not be deceived by Qin Jiang! This guy has been in jail! He''s penniless! There''s even ame sister at his home! He''s so poor he can''t even afford food; he''s just pure bottom-of-the-society scum!"

    "Such a family, such a loser, how can he be worthy of someone like you, born with a silver spoon?"

    "President Xu! It must be this guy''s sweet words, right?"

    Having said that, Li Jian looked triumphantly at Qin Jiang, proud to have exposed Qin Jiang''s true face in front of Xu Muge in time.

    See, you tried to pretend!

    Now... you''ve been exposed, haven''t you?

    However!

    The next moment, Xu Muge''s expression darkened as she strode over. "What did you just say?"

    She advanced step by step, her chilling demeanor oppressive, causing Li Jian''s scalp to tingle.

    He quickly continued, "President Xu! This guy is just a poor loser, and his family..."

    "p!"

    Xu Muge pped him across the face!

    "Qin Jiang is my fianc¨¦, how dare you insult him?"

    "p!"

    "Sisi is my close friend! You call herme?"

    "p!"

    "I am fully aware of Qin Jiang''s family situation! So what? What''s it to you!"

    "p!"

    "His rtives are my rtives!"

    "Is it your ce to insult here? Is it your ce to point fingers?"

    After a few ps, Li Jian waspletely dumbfounded.

    "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

    How could a gorgeous beauty like Xu Muge, who was also a rich heiress, possibly fancy a loser like Qin Jiang?

    This kind of plot only happens in novels...

    Just what merits does this guy have?

    Li Jian was grinding his mrs to pieces!

    Just what kind of dumb luck did this guy have?

    The next moment, Xu Muge''s words sent him plunging from heaven right into hell. "Effective today, you don''t need toe to work at Xu Group anymore! You are fired!"

    At these words, Li Jian''s legs went weak...

    "President Xu, no! I was wrong! I''ll never talk nonsense again..."

    Xu Muge said coldly, "There''s no chance for that! Get out of my sight now!"

    Towards such a person, Xu Muge had no mercy and directly ordered him to get lost!

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me again, I''ll show you what regret means! Remember this! Don''t let me hear you mention me and my family from your mouth ever again! Otherwise... I''ll rip your vile mouth apart!"

    Qin Jiang''s icy gaze made Li Jian''s bby body shudder.

    "Let''s go, dear, don''t bother with this fat pig." Xu Muge took Qin Jiang''s hand and led him away.

    Li Jian sat on the ground, his heart deadened...

    Without this job, where could he find another high-paying job like this?

    He had finally climbed to this position in thepany after so many years...

    Now, it was all gone!

    "It''s all over!"

    Li Jian was green with regret...

    Damn it!

    Why did he have to mess up?

    Now, with just a word from Xu Muge, he is stripped of his years of achievements at Xu Group, all in vain!

    What made it even more agonizing for him was the fact that Qin Jiang was actually dating a top-notch goddess like Xu Muge?

    His jealousy was killing him!

    In the office, Xu Muge finally let go of Qin Jiang''s hand and snorted, "I didn''t embarrass you just now, did I? If it weren''t for seeing you being bullied, I wouldn''t have kissed you."

    Xu Muge''s pretty face was blushed, irresistibly alluring, and Qin Jiang swallowed hard, finding her even more tempting in today''s attire.

    An OL-style pencil skirt.

    Below were a pair of straight, jade legs.

    Sheathed in thin ck stockings, the sheer hint of skin beneath was enough to trigger an overwhelming urge to tear them apart and indulge in their destruction!

    "What are you trying to do?" Xu Muge asked, shrinking back at his gaze.

    Without responding, Qin Jiang lowered his head for a kiss...

 Chapter 60 Taking the Initiative!

    ```

    "Uh..." Xu Muge struggled, but soon gave up the fight and responded with fervor.

    Qin Jiang swept Xu Muge into his arms, her body already going limp...

    Just then, a knock at the door!

    "President Xu, your urgent documents!"

    Hearing this, Xu Muge hurriedly pushed Qin Jiang away and sat up straight.

    "Come in!"

    Qin Jiang thought to himself, feeling disappointed; this had been a great opportunity!

    The secretary walked in, casting a strange nce at Qin Jiang. She of course knew that he was Xu Muge''s beloved, but she couldn''t understand why Xu Muge, a woman so superior, would like such an ordinary man!

    The secretary came in and said, "President Xu, these are the documents I mentioned."

    Xu Muge nodded, "Alright, let me have a look."

    The secretary quickly left.

    Xu Muge nced at the urgent document, and her brows furrowed.

    "What''s wrong?" Qin Jiang asked.

    Xu Muge sighed, "Isn''t it because of thepany''s affairs? Xu Group is just a mess, superficially still valued at two or three hundred million, but in truth, it''s full of holes!"

    "Moreover, although I have taken the position of acting president, many people in Xu Group still belong to Xu Zilong''s faction. I have no authority within thepany, and I cannot stretch my hands and feet!"

    "Xu Zilong and Xu Huanhuan often do some underhanded things behind my back, disgusting!"

    "Furthermore, I heard that Xu Huanhuan''s boyfriend is about to arrive, and she wants to use her boyfriend to suppress me and take back control of thepany."

    "They''ve even made contact with Zhao Corporation."

    "If they get this cooperation, all my efforts during this period will have been in vain!"

    Qin Jiang also realized the severity of the situation and asked, "What''s her boyfriend like?"

    "Not quite sure," Xu Muge replied, "but she''s been praising him to high heaven. Right now, what I most want to secure is the cooperation with Zhao Corporation."

    "At least, if I secure this cooperation, it would be like a statement of intent, securing thepany''s voice and stabilizing my position as the president!"

    "But I can''t get in touch with Mrs. Zhao at all, it''s really headache-inducing!"

    Qin Jiang smiled and said, "I''ve already sessfully infiltrated the inner circles of Zhao Corporation. Soon, I will have the opportunity to help you solve the cooperation issue with Zhao Corporation!"

    "Infiltrated the inner circles?" Xu Muge looked surprised.

    "I am now a sort of employee at Zhao Corporation," Qin Jiang exined.

    "What do you mean ''sort of'' employee?"

    Qin Jiang chuckled, "It means I go to work when I want, and if I don''t feel like it, I don''t go, but I still get paid."

    "What a joke!"

    Xu Muge looked at him reproachfully, "Everyone knows that Zhao Corporation has strict rules and regtions! How could they tolerate such ax employee?"

    "You don''t have to exaggerate such ims just to please me, right?"

    Qin Jiang said seriously, "When have I ever lied to you?"

    Xu Muge spoke faintly, "I don''t believe it. Zhao Corporation isn''t a ce just anyone can enter. What position could you possibly hold there? Security guard?"

    Qin Jiang was at a loss for words.

    Truth be told, he really was a security guard.

    "You better leave now; I still have some official business to handle," Xu Muge said.

    Qin Jiang left the floor somewhat disgruntled. Was he really that bad? Did Xu Muge really have so little faith in him? It seemed he really needed to show her what he was capable of.

    "Who is it?" Qin Jiang frowned, answering the phone with some impatience.

    "It''s me!" came a cold voice from the other side, "Didn''t I call you before? Can''t you at least add a remark for your boss? You''ve got some nerve!"

    Zhao Yuefei was quite displeased.

    After all, who was she? A great beauty of Jiangcheng, the dream for countless people to conquer!

    Top-tier white, rich, and beautiful!

    Who knows how many people want her contact information?

    And this guy, not even a remark?

    Qin Jiang said, "Oh, Mrs. Zhao, it''s you. What can I do for you? Just say it."

    He knew that this woman was no pushover; certainly, she wouldn''t call without reason. Luckily, he had just been thinking of discussing the cooperation with Xu Group with Zhao Yuefei.

    Wait for her to speak first.

    Then he could take the initiative!

    ```

 Chapter 61 Debt Collection!

    Zhao Yuefei said, "The hiring procedure isplete. Come to thepany tomorrow, I''ll call a management meeting."

    "What a hassle!" Qin Jiang frowned.

    "I''ve already given the orders. Tomorrow at nine o''clock, I''ll be waiting for you in Zhao Corporation''s conference hall." Dropping this cold remark, Zhao Yuefei hung up the phone.

    "Conceited woman!"

    Qin Jiang was annoyed. The woman was too arrogant. Was she teaching him how to do things? The bet from before hadn''t been settled yet, and now she dared to act all high and mighty in front of him?

    If it weren''t for Xu Muge, he couldn''t care less about attending some boring meeting!

    "Also, the old man has urged me once or twice to retrieve the painting from the Qin Family. It''s time to get it," Qin Jiang muttered to himself.

    In front of the Qin Family mansion!

    Qin Jiang arrived in a car.

    As a second-tier family in Jiangcheng, the Qin Family was also quite a major household, with a residence that was grandly and gloriously decorated! Qin Jiang looked at his old home, which he hadn''t returned to for over a decade, his eyes brimming with emotion!

    "We''re here!"

    The driver stated indifferently.

    Qin Jiang got out of the car and walked straight towards the front gate, where he was stopped by the Qin Family''s guards.

    "This is the Qin Family! You can''t just barge in! If you want to enter, you need to report first!"

    Qin Jiang replied coldly, "Today, I''m here to take something. Don''t block me, or you''ll be responsible for the consequences."

    "How dare you!"

    Several guards shouted angrily, "Scram!"

    One of them stepped forward to shove Qin Jiang but was easily subdued, as Qin Jiang twisted his arm behind his back. Immediately, he yelped out in pain!

    After dealing with these few watchdogs with a few punches and kicks, Qin Jiang strode into the hall.

    At this moment, there were a few people sitting in the living room.

    The second uncle of the Qin Family, who was the current Family Head, Qin Han, his wife Li Yao, cousin Qin Xiao, and Qin Jiang''s female cousin, Qin Liu, were all neatly seated on the sofa!

    Seeing Qin Jiang enter, they immediately showed a look of astonishment on their faces. "Qin Jiang, how did you get in?"

    Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "I''m here to take that map ording to the agreement that day."

    He really wanted to know what secretsy within the Tianyuan Wanshan Map! Why was the Crazy Old Man so eager for him to retrieve this antique painting!

    Qin Han mmed the table fiercely, "Qin Jiang! What are you doing back here? Get out of here right now!"

    Qin Jiang''s tone was ice-cold, "I wouldn''t want to step foot in this filthy ce either, but I must get my hands on the Tianyuan Wanshan Map, so bring it out now."

    "You say to give it to you and we should just give it to you?" Qin Liu scoffed. "Who do you think you are? You even dare toe to our house and demand something! Just a kicked-out, lost dog is all you are!"

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang''s tone suddenly turned frosty.

    "Qin Xiao, ording to the wager, you should now bring it out and ce it before me," Qin Jiang stated.

    At this, Qin Xiao sneered, stood up and said, "A bet? What bet? Qin Jiang, are you delusional? Have we ever made a bet?"

    "Get out of here this instant!" Li Yao directly picked up a teacup and hurled it at Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang easily dodged it and then approached Qin Xiao. Before thetter could react, Qin Jiang already had him hoisted in the air, his voice chilling.

    "I''m giving you five minutes, bring it out immediately!" Qin Jiang''s fingers exerted slight pressure!

    In an instant, Qin Xiao''s face turned beet red, and he struggled frantically to break free from Qin Jiang''s grasp.

    But it was of no avail!

    The others were all scared pale, "Stop! Just stop first!"

    Qin Han yelled, "You beast, he''s your cousin! How can you be so ruthless?"

    "Now, less than five minutes remain," Qin Jiang said indifferently, still gripping Qin Xiao.

    Thetter''s face had already swollen to the color of a liver.

 Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Kneel Down and Beg for Mercy!

    Qin Han broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly saying, "I''ll talk, I''ll tell you everything! The Tianyuan Wanshan Map is not in our hands right now! We''ve already sold it!"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang''s expression turned frosty. "What did you say!?"

    Sold?

    "Yes, we''ve already sold it," Qin Han said. "The map was bought by someone else."

    "Who?" Qin Jiang asked with an icy tone.

    "Tianxing Auction House," Qin Han replied. "We sold it for a high price of five million."

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang felt like ughtering them!

    "Tianyuan Auction House?" Qin Jiang snorted coldly. "Is there any way we can get it back from them?"

    Qin Han said, "In two days, they will hold arge auction, and I''ve heard that the Tianyuan Wanshan Map is one of the items up for bidding!"

    "Get out!" At his words, Qin Jiang''s eyes shed coldly, and he threw Qin Xiao to one side, then strode away.

    He had no desire to further engage with these people.

    It seemed that the only option was to wait until the auction started to get his hands on the thing! Rather than wasting time with them here, it was better to wait for the auction tomence!

    After leaving the Qin Family, Qin Jiang went to the market to buy groceries, came home to cook, and continued taking care of Wen Wenling and Qin Sisi. The next morning, afterpleting his meditation, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

    Despite a night spent cultivating instead of sleeping, he still looked energized and full of vigor!

    After preparing breakfast for them, Qin Jiang made a phone call to Xu Muge. "Muge,e over to Zhao Corporation today, I will introduce you to Zhao Yuefei."

    "Introduce Mrs. Zhao to me?" Xu Muge was startled. "Are you serious?"

    "Of course," Qin Jiang said. "Trust me."

    Xu Muge hesitated for a moment, not wanting to refute his face and ultimately nodded. "Alright then."

    After all, she was out of options, so it was worth a try, even though she didn''t hold out much hope!

    When she arrived at Zhao Corporation, she saw Xu Muge already waiting there for him.

    "Let''s go!"

    Qin Jiang took Xu Muge''s hand directly.

    The two walked inside.

    "Qin Jiang, I..." Xu Muge suddenly panicked a little. "Can you really meet Mrs. Zhao?"

    Qin Jiang smiled lightly. "Of course, she''s the one who asked me toe over today."

    "You''ve really joined the Zhao Family?" Xu Muge was surprised.

    However, just a minor employee couldn''t possibly have anything to do with Zhao Yuefei, could he?

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Just trust me."

    Qin Jiang swiped his staff card and entered the Zhao Corporation. With that card, the staff members didn''t dare stop her.

    Moreover, some of the security guards recognized him ¨C he was the ruthless man who had made Lord Long bow his head and apologize that day, and he was closely connected to Mrs. Zhao!

    Xu Muge sighed, "I heard that Xu Huanhuan and the others will alsoe to Zhao Corporation today. They want to secure a contract with the Zhao Family to pressure my grandfather and strip me of my CEO position."

    "Moreover, they have the support of Xu Huanhuan''s mysterious boyfriend behind them, so once they secure this contract, we''ll be in danger!"

    No matter what, Xu Muge did not want to be suppressed by her siblings!

    "Don''t worry, they can''t get it," Qin Jiang reassured her with a confident look.

    Suddenly! A young woman wearing a business suit with swaying hips approached. "Xu Muge? What are you doing here? I didn''t expect your little face to have really recovered?"

    "Li Xinxin?" Seeing this woman, Xu Muge''s face turned sour.

    She was her high school ssmate.

    The two had always been at odds.

    Li Xinxin curled her lip. "Humph! Looks like you''ve had some good luck, getting rid of all those disgusting scars on your face, must have cost a lot of money, right?"

    "What''s it to you?" Xu Muge retorted coldly.

    Li Xinxin said coldly, "Cocky! Do you think you''re still Miss Xu of the Xu Family? Times have changed, believe it or not, I could have my boyfriend throw you out with just one word, and make it so you can''t even enter Zhao Corporation''s door!?"

    Qin Jiang chuckled, "I really don''t believe that."

    "Shut your mouth!"

    Like it''s your turn to speak, you stinking nobody! Do you know who my boyfriend is!?" Li Xinxin red at Qin Jiang. "Better apologize to me swiftly!"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "You''re an eyesore. If you''re not out of my sight in ten seconds, I will have the security throw you out, you gossip!"

    "Hahaha, you''re hrious, as if you could call security to throw me out? I''m telling you, I came here today to start work, a proper employee of Zhao Corporation!"

    "My boyfriend is the head of the project department!"

    "You think you can order those little security guards to throw me out? Do they dare? Do you, a stinking nobody, have the authority!?"

    Li Xinxin stood smug, triumphant. "Xu Muge, your life is really on a downward spiral, with this loudmouthed nobody; don''t tell me he''s your boyfriend?"

    "Which department do you work in, to dare speak to Mr. Qin like that? Do you not want your job?" Suddenly, a sharp voice came from nearby.

    Turning their heads, they saw a woman with an icy gaze walking over.

    She was none other than Zhao Yuefei''s secretary, Lin Min.

    She knew how much Zhao Yuefei valued Qin Jiang and that Qin Jiang was the person who could make Lord Long beg on his knees, so how could she afford to be rude to Qin Jiang?

    Li Xinxin immediately sneered, "Who are you, and what right do you have to interrogate me? You don''t look old enough to be any kind of leader; how dare a mere worker speak to me like that?"

    "p." Lin Min pped her across the face!

    Lin Min shouted in rage, covering her face, "You dare touch me? I''m a regr employee of the project department! Touch me and you''re as good as dead!"

    Lin Min said coldly, "You''re not anymore, you''re fired!"

    Li Xinxin was even more disdainful now. "Who are you to say that, to fire me just like that?"

    Lin Min enunciated every word, "I might not be anyone special, but I am Mrs. Zhao''s secretary!"

    Li Xinxin''s head exploded at that instant, her face turning deathly pale!

    Mrs. Zhao''s secretary?

    Was this the kind of person she could afford to offend?

    She fell to her knees in terror!

    "I was wrong... I shouldn''t have spoken to you like that, please give me another chance!" Only on m v|le|mp|yr

    Lin Min turned to ask, "Mr. Qin, for thisdy, what do you think..."

    Xu Muge didn''t speak.

    Qin Jiang said simply, "Throw her out."

    Li Xinxin immediately crawled at their feet, begging pitifully, "Muge, for old times'' sake as ssmates, please give me a chance..."

 Chapter 63 Thunderous Approach!

    Xu Muge remained silent.

    Qin Jiang frowned, "Eyesore."

    Lin Min immediately got the hint and called the security to throw out Li Xinxin, who was desperately begging for mercy. She struggled in vain, even her high heels fell to the ground,pletely losing her dignity!

    "Xu Muge, you''d better remember this, you best not show up at tonight''s ss reunion, or I will make you pay back this humiliation twofold!"

    This statement made Xu Muge''s eyebrows lightly furrow.

    Qin Jiang curiously asked, "ss reunion?"

    "That''s right." Xu Muge sighed lightly, "I can''t help it, my best friend asked me to go, I can''t refuse."

    Just then, Lin Min said, "Mr. Qin, please."

    Qin Jiang smiled at Xu Muge, "Muge, I''m going up first, I''ll be right back. You wait here for me now."

    "Okay!" Xu Muge nodded and sat down to wait. She was very curious about how Qin Jiang managed tomand such respect from others.

    Qin Jiang followed Lin Min into the elevator and headed straight to the top floor of Zhao Corporation.

    At this moment.

    In the conference room, Zhao Yuefei sat in the main seat, slowly standing up, "Recently, there have been quite a few changes to the positions within Zhao Corporation."

    "Today, we have a new member meeting with everyone. He will join the security department as the deputy manager. Later on, let''s give him a warm wee."

    A middle-aged man slowly stood up and challenged, "Mrs. Zhao, this isn''t proper, is it?"

    Zhao Yuefei raised an eyebrow, "What''s improper about it? I am thergest shareholder of Zhao Corporation and the current president! My decision is thepany''s biggest decision! You have no right to point fingers here!"

    The middle-aged man sneered, "Mrs. Zhao! You are still too young. Zhao Corporation is a majorpany, also the life''s work of your parents. You can''t just ruin it like this!"

    Zhao Yuefei smiled coldly, "Then Mr. Hu, please enlighten us on how not to ruin it."

    She had been in charge of Zhao Corporation for two or three years. These guys had been brought into line by her before, but now, they hade out to cause trouble again!

    She wanted to see just how much backbone they had!

    Hu Jianghai smiled, "Mrs. Zhao, you are young and perhaps not quite suitable for the role of president. I think you should just be the behind-the-scenes chairperson!"

    "We, oldrades who have been with your parents for decades, have much more experience than you! Leave thepany in our hands to manage, and you can be the power behind the throne. Wouldn''t that be wonderful?"

    "Exactly, exactly!"

    "I think Mr. Hu makes sense!"

    "You can''t joke about the future of thepany! We are all deeply attached to it! But if you, Mrs. Zhao, persist in your unteral actions, we shall regretfully have to leave!"

    One after another, the people spoke, their wordsced with threats.

    Zhao Yuefei''s lips curled into a cold smile. Did these guys think they could force the pce today?

    Who gave them the courage?

    "So, who do you think is more suitable for the president''s position?" she countered.

    "Mr. Hu has always been ourpany''s vice president, with extensive experience. He''s very suitable to be our president. Mrs. Zhao, perhaps you should step down and let someone more capable take over."

    "I agree!"

    "Mrs. Zhao, if you aren''t capable, you just need to sit back and count money, thepany''s affairs are not for you to meddle in! Understand?"

    Hearing this, Zhao Yuefei''s tone turned cold, "What if I insist on meddling?"

    "The president of thepany can only be me, Zhao Yuefei!"

    "Whoever disagrees can resign and get out!" Zhao Yuefei dered coldly. "Do you think that just because you have someone backing you up behind the scenes, I will be scared of you? Let me tell you, if you can''t take me down, I, Zhao Yuefei, will take you down!"

    Zhao Yuefei''s assertiveness sent shockwaves through their hearts!

    They had thought that by uniting together to intimidate Zhao Yuefei, they could make her wary. They never expected that Zhao Yuefei would just break the jar and bare her fangs!

    They should remember that if these old guards were to leave thepany, Zhao Corporation would suffer a heavy blow!

    "It seems I''ve arrived at an inopportune time! To witness such an awkward situation for Mrs. Zhao!"

    Suddenly, a chuckling voice came through, and at the door, a young figure appeared!

    "Qin Jiang?!" Zhao Yuefei was taken aback, not expecting him to arrive at this time.

    In front of outsiders, she had always projected an image of a steely president. She didn''t expect that her moment of being pressed into a corner would be witnessed by him.

    She felt very embarrassed.

    Meanwhile, among the executives, Zhang Tianxu''s eyes darkened as he red at Qin Jiang with resentment.

    Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Mrs. Zhao, it seems like you''ve run into a bit of trouble, don''t you need my help to solve it?"

    Zhao Yuefei scoffed, very disdainful, "You can solve it?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I have a hundred ways to easily solve it."

    "Enough!"

    Mr. Hu mmed the table and roared loudly.

    "Kid, the internal affairs of Zhao Corporation are not for you to meddle in, get lost! Otherwise, I''ll make sure you regret it!"

    Other defectors among the shareholders also pointed at Qin Jiang and cursed, "Zhao Yuefei! Who is this guy? What gives him the right to intervene in our executive meeting?"

    Zhao Yuefei spoke emphatically, "He is the deputy manager of our Zhao Corporation''s security department."

    "And who might you be?" Qin Jiang turned his icy gaze toward Hu Jianghai.

    "I am Hu Jianghai, the vice president of Zhao Corporation, an old-timer here!" Hu Jianghai dered, chest puffed out.

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang scoffed, and the next moment, his hand pped Hu Jianghai onto the table!

    "p, p, p!"

    He rained blows upon Hu Jianghai''s face, until thetter, beaten to a swollen mess, howled in pain. Eventually, his voice grew weaker until Qin Jiang knocked him out with a kick.

    A deadly hush enveloped the room.

    Qin Jiang took a seat in an authoritative manner, his piercing gaze sweeping over the pale-faced executives.

    As his intimidating gaze passed over them, the shareholders were so frightened that they hung their heads, not daring to meet his eye.

    He spoke deliberately,

    "Now, let me introduce myself. I am the deputy manager of security that Mrs. Zhao brought in, Qin Jiang."

    "From now on, I want to make it clear to everyone: Zhao Corporation will have only one voice, and only one boss! And that''s Mrs. Zhao!"

    "Whoever disagrees, speak up now!"

    "Otherwise..." the next time someone dares to cause trouble, I''ll simply take them down!"

 Chapter 64 : 64: Domineering Aura Revealed!

    Hismanding presence silenced everyone, leaving them not daring to utter a sound for a long while!

    Zhao Yuefei had not expected Qin Jiang to address the problem in such a simple and crude manner, but, this didn''t solve the root of the issue at all!

    These guys still wouldn''t respect her¡ªthey would just resort to underhanded tactics behind her back.

    It was utterly ineffective.

    "Barbarian."

    Zhao Yuefei shook her head¡ªhowever, having this guy around to act as her spear wasn''t too bad.

    At least he had given Hu Jianghai a beating, which was quite satisfying for her! And seeing how cowed these guys appeared, it seemed they were beginning to be scared!

    Qin Jiang''s imposing attitude had subdued them!

    Qin Jiang looked somewhat smugly at Zhao Yuefei, showing off his "hard work."

    Thetter shot him a look of disdain.

    What''s there to be smug about?

    Qin Jiang felt somewhat displeased¡ªwhat''s with this woman? He had just helped her solve such a big problem, and she dared talk to him like this?

    It was a bit ungrateful!

    Lin Min watched Qin Jiang with a look of adoration. His overbearing swagger and ready-to-fight attitude impressed her greatly.

    A real man should be so mighty and domineering.

    Just then, a middle-aged man gathered the courage to stand up and chide, "Zhao Yuefei, you''re beingpletely reckless! How could the Zhao Corporation recruit such a barbarian..."

    Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Jiang had already shed to his side!

    "You, you!" The middle-aged man was scared into a cold sweat.

    "You what? You old fart, you should take responsibility for your words!" With one punch from Qin Jiang, the middle-aged many sprawled on the ground, knocked unconscious.

    With that, the entire conference room descended into absolute deathly silence!

    Everyone held their breath.

    Not daring to utter a sound.

    This motherfucker was an utter madman¡ªwho would dare cross him?

    Qin Jiang surveyed the room with a tiger''s gaze, saying coldly, "My colleagues, please take good care of me in the future."

    "I am a civilized person. If you respect me a little, I will return it threefold! But if anyone dares to provoke me, I will repay it a hundred times over! I hope you all value your health and don''t seek death."

    "Be polite when you speak to Vice Manager Qin from now on, and do not provoke me! Do you understand?"

    The crowd nodded timidly.

    They werepletely terrified!

    Zhao Yuefei was also somewhat speechless; this guy really could only solve problems with his fists. However, in the current situation, perhaps only a fearless and barbaric madman like Qin Jiang could subdue these guys!

    It was a decent temporary solution!

    Thinking this,

    Zhao Yuefei stated coldly, "Since no one has any objections, let''s end the meeting here. I''ll warn you onest time, don''t get any funny ideas!"

    "Otherwise... my methods will be a hundred times crueler than you can imagine! I hope you do not test my limits!"

    Having said that, she turned around and left, addressing Qin Jiang, "Come with me."

    Qin Jiang curled his lip and followed her. If Zhao Yuefei hadn''t sought him out, he would have had to find her anyway.

    It just saved him the trouble.

    "Qin Jiang..." Zhang Tianxu red at Qin Jiang with a look of bitter resentment...

    In the past, he was Zhao Yuefei''s trusted confidant, but ever since Qin Jiang arrived, he had fallen out of favorpletely! Besides, he had long harbored feelings for Zhao Yuefei, and now that she was showing such intimacy towards Qin Jiang, his hatred for Qin Jiang was bone-deep!

    Zhao Yuefei led Qin Jiang to her office.

    Zhao Yuefei sat down in her chair and said deliberately, "I can give you special privileges. From now on, you don''t have toe here to work, but when I need you, you must¡ªI mean, you absolutely must¡ªbe here!"

    "You''re probably aware of the situation at Zhao Corporation. I won''t waste time with other nonsense. After all, you owe my parents a debt of gratitude, you are here to help me solve problems."

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly, "Mrs. Zhao, you really don''t beat around the bush."

    Zhao Yuefei red at him, "Do you think I''m paying you for nothing? The Zhao Corporation isn''t a charity. You''re thinking too beautifully!"

    "Moreover, what you did today, although it momentarily deterred them, didn''t really solve the issue. Instead, it has made them unite even more!"

    "You haven''t solved my problem; you''ve actuallyplicated it! I haven''t even settled this issue with you!"

    Qin Jiang: "..."

    Zhao Yuefei justified sternly, "You''re pushing me into a pit of fire."

    "Now, they will certainly intensify their efforts to trip me up. Trying to break them down one by one has be even harder¡­"

    Qin Jiang smiled indifferently, "Mrs. Zhao, I only used that method earlier because I didn''t feel like dealing with them."

    "However, if we want to make them truly obedient, I have many methods up my sleeve! But, I have conditions! Shall we make a deal?"

    Upon hearing that, Zhao Yuefei''s eyebrows knitted together, then rxed, her long legs crossing, "As long as your methods work, I naturally agree to your conditions. Go ahead."

 Chapter 65 : 65: Whimsical!

    Qin Jiang''s gaze was briefly lured by Zhao Yuefei''s long, straight legs, his eyes resting on the letter-emzoned ck silk stockings, somewhat dazzled.

    The corners of Zhao Yuefei''s mouth revealed a yful smile.

    This guy, he''s just like any ordinary disgusting man, no fundamental difference at all!

    "Do they look good?" Zhao Yuefei shifted the sitting position of her long legs.

    It seemed like she was showing off something.

    The snow-white, jade-like legs, tightly wrapped in ck stockings, stirred an urge to tear them off and thoroughly explore with one''s hands!

    But Qin Jiang was no ordinary man; he said earnestly, "The legs are so-so, the stockings are nice, what brand are they? I''ll have my wife buy a few pairs to try on someday."

    "Hmph!" Zhao Yuefei was quite dissatisfied; her supermodel figure and heavenly long legs had attracted the covetous looks of countless men, and this guy dared to call them so-so?

    Hypocrite!

    Such a hypocrite!

    Her wearing them, could it ever be the same as me wearing them?

    "Get to the point," she spoke disdainfully, "You didn''t juste up with an excuse to look at my legs, did you?"

    "Narcissist." Qin Jiang was speechless with this woman; what''s there to look at? You can''t touch, you can''t carry, no fun.

    It''s only those little boys with weak minds who would take a few extra nces.

    After a few looks, he withdrew his gaze.

    "My solution is, within today, I''ll dig up all the secrets and dirtyundry of those shareholders in yourpany and hand them over to you to control them!"

    "With that, wouldn''t the situation at Zhao Corporation be stabilized?"

    "Sounds good," Zhao Yuefei said with mockery, "but it''s too impractical! Do you think they are fools, to leave their dirtyundry out in the open?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "You don''t have to worry about that, I have ways to handle it."

    "Fine, if you can do it, I will agree to the conditions you propose." She didn''t believe Qin Jiang was capable of doing it.

    Qin Jiang smiled, "Dance for me in ck stockings, can you agree to that too?"

    "Scram¡ª" Zhao Yuefei''s pretty face blushed, a rare sight for her, reminding her of the provocative words she had said to Qin Jiang that day... It was truly shameful.

    If Qin Jiang really made her unbuckle his belt in public, would she really do it or not?

    After some thought, Zhao Yuefei figured it was better not to make any bets lightly with this guy; it wouldn''t be fun if she ended up betting herself into the game one day!

    She spoke coldly, "State your conditions."

    Qin Jiang spoke, "My condition is, I''ll exchange the dirt I get on their hands for a chance to coborate between Zhao Corporation and the Xu Family! What do you think?"

    "You''re being watched, probably don''t have many trustworthy people left. I know you need trustworthy partners right now."

    "You won''t lose anything by agreeing to my condition, and you''ll be able to control them."

    "My wife is very savvy in business, not the ungrateful type."

    "You can coborate with her with confidence."

    Hearing this, a tremor went through Zhao Yuefei''s heart, "Who is your wife? And, if I were to coborate with the Xu Family, who would be the one handling this project with me?"

    "Xu Muge!" Qin Jiang said with a smile.

    Zhao Yuefei was taken aback, "Xu Muge? Your woman is Xu Muge?"

    She looked skeptically at Qin Jiang. His fianc¨¦e was Xu Muge?

    She wasn''t close with Xu Muge, but they had met a few times at banquets. She had been curious to see the woman who was said to be her equal!

    Initially skeptical, she was amazed when she saw Xu Muge in person.

    Although Luo Shifei was also one of the four great beauties of Jiangcheng, Zhao Yuefei had no good impression of someone who climbed up by exploiting their body, constantly mingling among men.

    Zhao Yuefei''s verdict was just two words ¡ª vulgar.

    But Xu Muge gave her the impression of not just being beautiful and of unmatched elegance, but also talented, absolutely a nearly perfect person!

    This woman was Qin Jiang''s? What was she thinking!

    She nodded and mused, "Alright, if you can really do it, then I can agree to it! I do admire Miss Xu''s character!"

    After all, the Xu Family under the leadership of Xu Muge did indeed have an impressive upward trend back then, it was just a pity that heaven was jealous of beauty, and afterwards, Xu Muge waspletely ruined by that young master.

    Qin Jiang smiled, "Then Mrs. Zhao, shall we go down together? My wife is waiting."

    Zhao Yuefei: ???

    What kind of way is this guy talking?

    Now she''s starting to question, who is the boss here, her or him?

    Qin Jiang frowned, "What? Mrs. Zhao is not willing? Then forget it."

    Zhao Yuefei gritted her teeth, "Fine, I''ll go down with you, but you better not disappoint me!"

    She was driven to a dead end.

    These jerks daring to challenge her authority and betray her out of the blue, there might be an invisible hand behind all this, pushing everything forward; she had to find a way to get a hold of them!

    This guy Qin Jiang had some bizarre methods, and who knows, he might just find sess!

    While the two were talking in the office.

    In the lobby of Zhao Corporation on the first floor, a young man and woman walked in, none other than Xu Zilong and Xu Huanhuan.

    They instantly spotted Xu Muge sitting there.

    "Xu Muge, you''re here too?" Xu Huanhuan, clicking in her high heels, approached with a sneer on her lips, "Don''t tell me you''re also here to partner with Mrs. Zhao?"

 Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Who Dares Touch Her!

    Xu Muge replied coldly, "What''s it to you?"

    Xu Huanhuan sneered, "I''d advise you not to entertain any foolish fantasies! Do you think Mrs. Zhao is someone you can easily meet? It''s a pipe dream. If you ask me, you''d better get out of here quickly, so you won''t be thrown outter, humiliating yourself in public!"

    Zhao Corporation is a top-tier conglomerate in Jiangcheng. The Xu Family has fallen into decline, not even in the same league. Even they had to use connections just to establish a rtionship with a senior executive of Zhao Corporation!

    That person promised to introduce them to Zhao Yuefei.

    Now that Xu Muge was without power or backing, how could shepare with them?!

    "Once my brother and I secure the qualifications to cooperate with Zhao Corporation, we will immediately go home and have grandfather depose you from your acting CEO position!"

    "And let your family continue picking up trash outside!"

    "Hahahaha!"

    Hearing this, Xu Muge scoffed disapprovingly, "You think you''re worthy?"

    "Just wait and see!" Xu Huanhuan was very confident.

    This time.

    Dive deeper into the story on m-vle-mpyr

    They had stuffed quite a few benefits to the other party, who promised to take care of their business. Their establishment of a cooperative rtionship with Zhao Corporation was already a done deal.

    Xu Muge wanted to fight them?

    Dream on!

    Just then, a portly middle-aged man came down from upstairs.

    "Mr. Chen!"

    Upon seeing the neer, Xu Huanhuan and the other person immediately fawned over him like grovelling dogs!

    "Hmm, you must be the Xu siblings, right?"

    "Exactly." Xu Huanhuan said with a sycophantic smile, "I am Xu Huanhuan, and this is my brother, Xu Zilong."

    "Alright, follow me upstairs."

    Chen Dafa said indifferently. As the manager of the project department, he naturally had some level of authority. Since the Xu siblings were sopliant, he couldn''t just take the money and not do the job.

    Besides, Zhao Corporation was facing numerous crises recently, leaving many projects vacated. Giving one to the Xu siblings would raise no objections.

    Even though it wasn''t Zhao Yuefei personally working with them.

    But it was still a way to establish a cooperative rtionship with Zhao Corporation.

    Xu Huanhuan pointed at Xu Muge and said, "Mr. Chen, this woman barged into Zhao Corporation, she might be trying to stealpany secrets. You can''t let her stay here!"

    "Absolutely, absolutely."

    Xu Zilongughed smugly and immediately chimed in on the side, adding fuel to the fire, "Mr. Chen, you should kick her out, lest thepany''s secrets get stolen by such people, leading to a regrettable loss!"

    Chen Dafa nced at Xu Muge, and his eyes nearly popped out!

    This was an incredibly beautiful woman!

    However, he had taken money from these two, and since they made a request, he couldn''t just refuse them outright.

    "Ahem!"

    Chen Dafa put on an appearance of righteousness and said to Xu Muge, "Miss, may I ask if you have an appointment with ourpany?"

    "No... I don''t!" Xu Muge was somewhat embarrassed, "My boyfriend brought me here, today I wanted to discuss a potential cooperation with Mrs. Zhao..."

    A boyfriend?

    Such a stunning beauty has a boyfriend?

    Chen Dafa was upset.

    ```

    So what if she has a boyfriend? That won''t hinder him from having something wonderful happen with this beauty!

    Xu Zilong hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, we know her boyfriend. He''s just a thug who got out of jail, how could he possibly know Mrs. Zhao? She''s definitely lying!"

    Xu Muge quickly added, "Just now, Mrs. Zhao''s secretary invited my boyfriend upstairs..."

    "That''s enough!" Upon hearing this, Chen Dafa''s face darkened, "Since there''s no appointment, then you should leave immediately, or I will have to call security to remove you!"

    "And another thing! Our Mrs. Zhao isn''t someone you can just see because you want to. Girls like you who try to sneak their way in, I''ve seen plenty, and such tricks won''t work on me!"

    "You go out and wait outside! If you really want to see our Mrs. Zhao, I''ll talk to you privatelyter and give you a chance!"

    Xu Muge was too beautiful, and thus, Chen Dafa was not willing to let go of this opportunity.

    He had seen all too many people who wanted to worm their way into the Zhao Corporation to form connections. They were all some smallpany''s salespeople eager to achieve some kind of performance.

    With just a little maniption, he could get them in his grasp.

    But now, with Xu Zilong and another person here, he didn''t want to lose face, so he could only ask Xu Muge to step out first and give her a good airing!

    "Mr. Chen, cut me some ck, I''m waiting for someone," Xu Muge said with an awkward smile.

    Chen Dafa scolded, "Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it! My name is Chen Dafa, I am the project manager at Zhao Corporation!"

    "Those small projects worth tens of millions or even billions, they all go through me! Sometimes, talking to me is more effective than looking for Mrs. Zhao, you get it?"

    "Now, get out!"

    Girls like her need to be taught a lesson, to see the reality of things before anything else.

    In the past, he had encountered quite a few girls like her. He had his ways with women who were new to society, with threats and temptations, and with a bit of sweetness. By showing his power, these women would throw themselves at him!

    "Mr. Chen, I truly came here to look for Mrs. Zhao today, and my boyfriend really was taken upstairs by Mrs. Zhao''s secretary!"

    Xu Muge exined, feeling a rush of anxiety, wondering why Qin Jiang hadn''te down yet.

    "Get out!"

    Chen Dafa''s expression turned even sterner, "Whichpany are you from? You don''t understand the first thing about respect! I told you to get out and wait there! Can''t you understand human speech, or are you deaf?"

    Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Xu Muge, aren''t you going to scram? Do you really want the security guards to drag you out? Can''t you understand what Mr. Chen is saying, or are you deaf? Get lost!"

    The pair yelled arrogantly.

    "Mr. Chen, what happened?" Several patrolling security guards noticing themotion, hurried over.

    Chen Dafa said coldly, "Take her out, let her wait outside!"

    "Yes!" The security guards approached and said, "Miss, pleasee with us!"

    Xu Huanhuan and herpanion watched the scene with amusement.

    "Xu Muge, still trying to wiggle your way in to see Mrs. Zhao? Don''t you realize you''re not worthy? Now you''ve been kicked out, right? You''ve lost the Xu family''s face, you shameless woman!"

    Xu Muge, seeing the smug expressions on their faces, felt an intense suffocation in her heart.

    Chen Dafa was also furious, this woman was far too dismissive of him. It seemed that she needed a harsh lesson to realize the extent of his power!

    "Throw her out!"

    He waved his hand to signal.

    "I won''t leave," Xu Muge gritted her teeth, "If you kick me out, you''ll regret it."

    "Mr. Chen, let me teach this obstinate lowlife a lesson for you!" Xu Huanhuan stepped towards Xu Muge with a frosty face, "If I don''t p you awake, you won''t realize your ce, will you?"

    Xu Huanhuan suddenly raised her hand, poised to smack Xu Muge''s face!

    "Who dares to touch her?" A stern voice suddenly erupted as Qin Jiang stepped out of the elevator and strode forward!

    ```

 Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Beating Up!

    Qin Jiang came striding over, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

    Seeing Qin Jianging out, Xu Huanhuan immediately scoffed and sneered.

    "Oh, look who we have here, the reform-throughbor criminal. How did you sneak in here? What, nning to make a scene? Xu Muge, don''t tell me your couragees from this guy?"

    Chen Dafa also growled lowly, "Who the hell do you think you are?"

    He didn''t attend today''s senior management meeting, so he was unaware of Qin Jiang''s identity.

    All he knew was

    this punk actually dared to strut around in front of him, hogging his limelight. It annoyed him greatly!

    "Qin Jiang!" Xu Muge quickly came to Qin Jiang''s side and took hold of his arm.

    Chen Dafa was even more annoyed seeing this. Xu Muge, such a beauty, should, in his opinion, be with sessful men like him!

    So closely intimate with some punk?

    He thought he might have a chance to pick up this fragile beauty. And then out of nowhere, this punk came along and shattered his dreams, infuriating him even more!

    "Security, get them out of here immediately!"

    "Beauty, let me tell you, if you really want to discuss the project, you can only do it with me!"

    "He can''t handle it!"

    "Just like now, with one word, I can have you thrown out! Got it?"

    He hinted again.

    The security guards gathered around once more, but upon seeing Qin Jiang, fear was evident in their eyes.

    "Mr. Chen, this¡­this gentleman seems to have quite a special rtionship with Mrs. Zhao! Maybe we should check with someone higher up?"

    They don''t darey a finger on Qin Jiang.

    "Useless idiots!"

    Chen Dafa roared in anger, "I work closely with Mrs. Zhao. How could I not know who she''s familiar with? This loser, the street stall clothes on his body probably don''t total two hundred bucks. How could he be connected with Mrs. Zhao?"

    "Thirty seconds. Throw them out! Otherwise, I''m going straight to your supervisor to get you all fired on the spot!"

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned icy, "Who are you to count? Keep bbering here, and I might just have to kill you."

    Chen Dafaughed furiously, "Good! Very good! It''s the first time I''ve seen someone as arrogant as you! I''ll let you know what death¡­"

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang pped him across the face!

    Chen Dafa felt like his head was about to fly off, a burning pain spreading across his face!

    "p p p!!"

    A series of ps followed.

    Chen Dafa was struck until he fell to the ground, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, blood seeping into his face.

    "Even Zhao Yuefei wouldn''t dare speak to me like this, what are you inparison!"

    "Also, I''m the deputy manager of the security department. You''re telling me to have my subordinates hit me? Are you out of your mind? It''s hrious!"

    Qin Jiang kicked Chen Dafa a few more times!

    Chen Dafa nearly vomited out his dinner from the night before...

    "You-you-you¡­ You''re looking for death!" Chen Dafa, in a miserable state, was seething with rage.

    "Boy, you''re finished!" Xu Huanhuan and others quickly helped Chen Dafa to his feet. "Qin Jiang, have you gone mad? Daring toy a hand on our Manager Chen, you''re dead meat this time!"

    "A couple of idiots." Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Throw them out."

    The security guards looked at each other in confusion.

    Qin Jiang simply showed his employee ID!

    "Really the deputy manager?" The security guards were stunned. This man was their supervisor; they didn''t dare touch Qin Jiang unless they wanted to die!

    Chen Dafa''s face turned ashen, "Damn it, a stinking security guard ying big shot with me! I''ll get Mrs. Zhao to fire you! See how cocky you can be then!"

    Chen Dafa cursed, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.

    In his eyes, this loser didn''t even deserve to speak to him!

    And he dared to hit him?

    Looking for death!

    Qin Jiang kicked him squarely in the chest, sending him flying several meters before hitting the ground on his rear and sliding further, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Go ask Zhao Yuefei if she dares to fire me. If I don''t teach you a lesson today, you won''t know who''s boss!"

    Xu Zilong pointed at Qin Jiang and cursed, "Daring to hit Mr. Chen, Qin Jiang, I won''t let this slide!"

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang moved swiftly, his hand rising to a p.

    "Didn''t you learn your lessonst time I hit you? Itchy for more?"

    "And another thing¡­"

    "Has anyone ever told you that I hate it when people point at me?" He grabbed Xu Zilong''s two fingers and applied a slight pressure!

    "Ahh ahh ahh¡ª"

    Xu Zilong screamed miserably, tears almost bursting forth as his fingers kept bending upward. He had no choice but to kneel to lessen his pain, his face filled with humiliation.

    "Get lost¡ª"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "If I see you bullying Muge again, be careful of your lives!"

    Xu Huanhuan was trembling with anger at the arrogant Qin Jiang, but she was helpless, stammering and unable to utter a single threat!

    Because she knew, the moment she spoke up, Qin Jiang''s palm would be on her face!

    "You just wait!"

    Finally, she stepped back a few steps, then clenched her teeth and harshly threw out a threat.

    Qin Jiang was disdainful, "I''ll be waiting. Let''s see what you, this piece of trash, cane up with."

    Chen Dafa managed to stand, trembling, his disheveled state witnessed by everyone around, feeling extreme humiliation.

    Just then¡ª

    The elevator doors opened!

    Zhao Yuefei walked out, high heels clicking, long legs for days,ing out with an unstoppable force!

 Chapter 68 Taking Over the Position!

    "Mrs. Zhao!"

    Chen Dafa''s eyes shone, and he immediately scrambled up from the ground, holding his face pitifully as he approached Zhao Yuefei toin, "Mrs. Zhao, you must stand up for me!"

    "Can you believe it, a manager of the project department, actually getting hit by some trash gatekeeper from the security department? Tell me, is that reasonable? You have to fire him! Otherwise, I just can''t swallow this indignity!"

    "Subordinates who defy their superiors have no ce in our Zhao Corporation!"

    Zhao Yuefei''s eyebrows arched slightly, "Oh? Mr. Chen, which guy had the audacity to hit you? Whoever hit Mr. Chen, step forward and let me have a look!"

    Chen Dafa smugly pointed at Qin Jiang and said, "Mrs. Zhao, it''s this kid!"

    "Apparently a newly promoted deputy manager of the security department who''s gotten too big for his boots..."

    Zhao Yuefei smiled slightly, knowing that Chen Dafa, relying on his status as the manager of the project department, had not only opposed her openly more than once but also had problematic allegiances.

    Now, she could use this opportunity to give him a good dressing down!

    Zhao Yuefei feigned seriousness and said sternly to Qin Jiang.

    "Qin Jiang, as a mere deputy manager of a small department, you dared to beat Mr. Chen of the project department until he looked like a pig''s head! How do you n to resolve this matter now?"

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly, noticing the hint of coldness deep in Zhao Yuefei''s eyes, then turned his gaze towards Chen Dafa.

    Chen Dafa, thinking that Zhao Yuefei was going to back him up, immediately sneered arrogantly, "Kid, I''ll give you a chance. Kneel and kowtow to apologize to me! Resign from Zhao Corporation on your own, and I''ll let bygones be bygones!"

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang''s p sent him flying on the spot, spinning one or two times in the air beforending on the ground. Chen Dafay there like a dead dog, wailing nonstop¡­

    Everyone was dumbstruck.

    Had this guy lost his mind?

    To actually dare to beat Chen Dafa to this state, right in front of Zhao Yuefei?

    This must be a fool''s errand!

    Did he really think Zhao Yuefei wouldn''t dare to touch him?

    He was joking with his own future!

    Xu Huanhuan and her sibling split open with schadenfreude, Qin Jiang daring to be so arrogant in front of Zhao Yuefei¡ª he was definitely doomed!

    Afterwards, they wouldn''t even need to make a move; Zhao Yuefei would naturally find a way to properly teach Qin Jiang a lesson!

    Although they were secretly pleased inside, the siblings still ran over with pretended concern to help Chen Dafa up.

    "Mr. Chen, are you okay?"

    Chen Dafa''s teeth were knocked loose, his cheek swollen, his head still felt heavy.

    He staggered to his feet with their support.

    "Zhao... Mrs. Zhao, he''s too arrogant, sob sob sob... You must stand up for me!"

    Zhao Yuefei smiled lightly, "Mr. Chen, as the manager of the project department, to be beaten up like this¡ª your appearance really damages ourpany''s face!"

    "And why were you hit?"

    "I..."

    Chen Dafa was at a loss for words but stubbornly said, "This guy brought outsiders in!"

    "Outsiders? Who?" Zhao Yue countered.

    Chen Dafa stubbornly said, "This woman here."

    "ording to the rules, our Zhao Corporation does not allow outsiders toe in freely. I was upholdingpany order."

    Zhao Yuefei suddenly sneered coldly, her voice chilling, "Upholdingpany order? Chen Dafa, who do you think you are! Is Zhao Corporation yours? Is it your ce to uphold order? I, Zhao Yuefei, am the head of Zhao Corporation!"

    She walked forward, her expression fierce and aggressive, "Furthermore, Miss Xu is my honored guest! Since when is it your ce to drive away my guests?"

    "Chen Dafa, you actually tried to drive away my honored guest! It seems like you''re the one trying to defy your superiors, isn''t it?"

    "I, I, I..." Chen Dafa broke into a cold sweat.

    Zhao Yuefei said indifferently, "Also, who are these two you brought back?"

    Xu Huanhuan hurriedly stepped forward to exin, "Mrs. Zhao, we''re from the Xu Family; I''m Xu Huanhuan, and this is..."

    "Did I ask you a question?" Zhao Yuefei''s face was frosty.

    Xu Huanhuan was left speechless!

    Zhao Yuefei''smanding presence made the siblings feel an immense pressure, and they didn''t dare to utter another word.

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "Chen Dafa, what are these two here for! What coboration do they have with our Zhao Corporation? Have you reported this to me?"

    "Now, answer me."

    Chen Dafa kept wiping sweat, "No, I haven''t."

    He had been terrified by the scene before him, today''s Zhao Yuefei was particrly fearsome.

    Although the usual Zhao Yuefei was also cold as ice and unapproachable, it was never this exaggerated.

    Today he faintly sensed something was amiss¡ªperhaps it was because of this morning''s meeting?

    He heard that Hu Jianghai had challenged Zhao Yuefei''s authority.

    Perhaps, that was one of the reasons why Zhao Yuefei''s attitude was so abnormal today!

    He had been too close to Hu Jianghai routinely.

    Chen Dafa quickly pulled himself together and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mrs. Zhao. I was presumptuous. I thought you were too busy with affairs to concern yourself with such a minor project. Here, I am making a profound self-criticism!"

    Zhao Yuefei said lightly, "You''re too serious, Mr. Chen."

    "However, it seems like Mr. Chen has been a little overstressedtely. You might be overworking yourself. I''ll give you a leave. Go home and rest for a week!"

    At that, Chen Dafa''s pupils shrank slightly!

    "Yes!"

    Even though he was reluctant, the current Chen Dafa could only grind his teeth and swallow his feelings.

    He realized, Zhao Yuefei was warning him.

    "Qin Jiang, for this week, you''ll temporarily assume the position of manager of the project department," Zhao Yuefei said lightly.

    "Then I must thank Mrs. Zhao," Qin Jiang replied with a calm smile.

    Chen Dafa''s head buzzed with noise!

    What the hell was this?

    Qin Jiang recing his position?

    He clenched his fists tightly, his teeth nearly shattering! What did Zhao Yuefei mean by this? Not only was he kicked out, but she was also promoting this guy to temporarily take his ce?

 Chapter 69 The deed is done!

    ```

    Murderous intent strikes at the heart!

    He clenched his teeth and said, "Mrs. Zhao, isn''t this inappropriate?"

    Zhao Yuefei''s voice was icy as she retorted, "What? Does Mr. Chen feel it''s not quite suitable? Are you perhaps longing for an extended vacation to spend quality time with your wife and children?"

    "If Mr. Chen feels his vacation time is too short, how about I extend it to a month? If that''s still not enough, how about a paid leave of half a year?"

    Her words made Chen Dafa sweat profusely, "Mrs. Zhao, you surely have a sense of humor! I''m in perfect health and serving thepany is my honor!"

    "I''ll just decline Mrs. Zhao''s kind offer then. I''ll go home and rest up this week."

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Mr. Chen, you really should go home and rest. Look at your swollen face, just like a pig''s head. You won''t be able to concentrate at work, right?"

    Chen Dafa red fiercely at Qin Jiang, this pretty boy, lucky opportunist! Later on, he would find someone to take care of Qin Jiang properly!

    Zhao Yuefei nced at Xu Zilong and his sister, and said indifferently to the security guards, "Throw them out!"

    "Mrs. Zhao, please don''t, give us a chance..."

    "Yes, the two of us can represent the Xu Family!"

    There was a plea in their eyes.

    "No need!"

    Zhao Yuefei''s voice was cutting, "Even if I were to coborate with the Xu Group, I would only cooperate with Miss Xu! You two aren''t fit to work with Zhao Yuefei!"

    A few security guards stepped forward menacingly and said coldly, "Would you like us to act, or will you leave on your own?"

    Seeing that there was no further errand for them, Xu Zilong and his sister swept Qin Jiang and the others with a fierce nce.

    "Damn it, just you wait!"

    Xu Huanhuan cursed and grudgingly followed her brother, leaving the ce with faces covered in disgrace.

    Xu Muge smirked, "Defeated generals, all they can do is talk tough. They''re still chased out like dogs, aren''t they? How ridiculous!"

    Xu Muge''s scorn made the two of them lose all semnce ofposure, hastening their exit.

    This time, they really lost face!

    They had intended to ride roughshod over Xu Muge and show off, but instead, they were humiliated by her, spent money for nothing, failed to get the job done, and ended up being thrown out...

    They lost face and furthermore, their soldiers!

    What kind of damn luck did Qin Jiang have to be so favored by Mrs. Zhao?

    No, that''s not right! This incident probably had nothing to do with Qin Jiang and the others! Was it primarily Chen Dafa''s behavior that annoyed Mrs. Zhao causing her to deliberately target Chen Dafa and them as a lesson?

    Did Qin Jiang and Xu Muge just happen to benefit from this?

    The more they thought about it, the more they regretted not going directly to Mrs. Zhao in the first ce. Now, their misguided ns had backfired, allowing Xu Muge to reap a windfall.

    After everyone had left, Zhao Yuefei finally turned her gaze to Xu Muge.

    She showed a rare smile and extended her hand, "Miss Xu, I''ve heard much about you."

    "Mrs. Zhao!"

    Xu Muge also felt some excitement, shaking hands with Zhao Yuefei. An empowered woman like her was who she aspired to be. Zhao Yuefei was almost an idol to her.

    Thus, meeting Zhao Yuefei thrilled her.

    Zhao Yuefei looked at Xu Muge appreciatively. There was a rare thaw on that frosty, beautiful face, "If Miss Xu doesn''t mind, may I call you Muge? It sounds more intimate!"

    Currently, Zhao Corporation was undergoing internal changes with external forces trying to bring her down.

    The old guard was challenging her, resulting in a tense standoff.

    She needed some help.

    She needed to build her own team, some trustworthy partners!

    Somehow,

    when she met Xu Muge, she felt an inexplicable urge to be close to her, a feeling she did not even notice herself.

    Xu Muge smiled and replied, "You''re too modest, Mrs. Zhao. It''s my honor."

    Zhao Corporation was a top-tier financial powerhouse in Jiangcheng, not that Xu Muge was pandering but it was the truth. Their statuses were not at all equal.

    In Jiangcheng, Zhao Yuefei might not reign supreme, but at the very least, she had significant influence.

    People from the military, government, business sectors, and from all walks of life gave her respect.

    And she was now an outcast of the Xu Family, unable to control even a small piece of it!

    Looking at the radiant woman before her, Xu Muge''s spirit was ignited with ambition!

    Zhao Yuefei smiled, "Calling me Mrs. Zhao seems too distant. If you don''t mind, you can also call me Yufei. It''s friendlier that way."

    Seeing the smile on Zhao Yuefei''s face, Xu Muge was somewhat incredulous; wasn''t Zhao Yuefei known as Jiangcheng''s famous ice queen? How could this be?

    It didn''t quite match the rumors!

    She was more like the girl next door.

    "Let''s go talk upstairs," Zhao Yuefei smiled and led Xu Muge upstairs.

    Xu Muge''s heart raced with excitement, it seemed that this matter was reallying together¡­

    ```

 Chapter 70 Xu Muges Nightmare, Chu Tianjiao!

    Zhao Yuefei led Xu Muge into her office.

    Qin Jiang pulled Xu Muge down to sit.

    Zhao Yuefei said indifferently, "Muge, I''ve learned the reason for your visit from Qin Jiang, and I can give you a contract to cooperate with my Zhao Family."

    "I hope that in the future, you can be a solid partner of mine, Zhao Yuefei!"

    Xu Muge''s eyes showed a trace of surprise as she asked, "Yufei, are you deciding this so quickly? Don''t you have any other conditions or something?"

    Qin Jiang was also a bit astonished.

    He hadn''t even brought out the dirt on her yet, and were this woman to cooperate with Xu Muge so quickly? When had this woman, who wouldn''t do anything unless the situation waspletely in her favor, be so generous!

    Zhao Yuefei smiled slightly and said, "As for the conditions, you don''t have to worry about that."

    "Qin Jiang will settle that aspect with me."

    Hearing this, Xu Muge was also somewhat surprised. What deal had Qin Jiang struck with Xu Muge?

    Qin Jiang said with a faint smile, "Mrs. Zhao is generous and hasn''t set forth any conditions, only that I need to sell a bit of my charm."

    Xu Muge red at him fiercely, "Sweet-talker!"

    Zhao Yuefei gave Qin Jiang a look, "Muge, don''t listen to his nonsense. This guy doesn''t take me, his boss, seriously at all. One of these days I''m going to fire him!"

    She was also irritated to the point of itchiness. How could this guy have such a cheeky mouth?

    Qin Jiang scoffed, "Mrs. Zhao, you need me right now, do you truly have the heart to fire me? Besides, spending a sry of twenty thousand to employ someone as handsome and talented as me, you''re not at a loss."

    "Get out¡ª" Zhao Yuefei didn''t give Qin Jiang any good expressions and said coldly, "Remember, make sure you do what you promised, otherwise you''ll regret it!"

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "Rest assured, it''s just a small matter."

    "Alright, you two leave now. I''ll have my secretary handle the contract today and send it to Xu Group," Zhao Yuefei said with a smile. "Muge, let''s have tea together when you''re free."

    "Okay," Xu Muge nodded, "Then, Yufei, we''ll take our leave now."

    Forming a good rtionship with Zhao Yuefei was, of course, something Xu Muge yearned for.

    She thought this trip would be very difficult, but Zhao Yuefei''s attitude surprised her, and everything went smoothly! All thanks went to Qin Jiang!

    "Wait a minute!" Zhao Yuefei suddenly called out to them.

    "Yufei, is there something else?" asked Xu Muge, puzzled.

    Zhao Yuefei took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Muge, I need to warn you about something, you must be extra careful recently."

    Xu Muge was somewhat taken aback and asked, "Yufei, are you referring to..."

    Zhao Yuefei gave a bitter smile and said, "ording to the grapevine, Luo Shifei has been reaching out and trying to take you down."

    Upon hearing this, both their expressions turned a bit more frigid!

    Qin Jiang spoke with a chilling tone, "Who is she contacting?"

    Zhao Yuefei enunciated every word, "It''s very likely¡­ Chu Tianjiao!"

    At the mention of this name, Xu Muge felt as if she''d been struck by lightning, her face turning suddenly pale!

    How could she forget that name?

    Back then, it was this beast who, one sh after another, left over a hundred bloody marks on her face, disfiguring her beyond recognition!

    Every sh was excruciating!

    It was the beginning of her nightmare!

    She would never forget that day¡­

    Qin Jiang''s eyes also suddenly turned icy, "That beast, Chu Tianjiao¡ªif he darese, I''ll make him pay a painful price!"

    "Just in time... I too want to take revenge!"

    Chu Tianjiao! He was the very beast who plunged Xu Muge into a nightmare back then!

    How could he let it go?

    Feeling Xu Muge''s fear, Qin Jiang gripped her hand tightly and said, "It''s okay, I''m here." Continue your saga on m|v-l''e-NovelBin

    Zhao Yuefei sighed, "Muge, I truly consider you as a sister, which is why I dare to share this news with you. Chu Tianjiao is so powerful and arrogant,pletely unscrupulous! You must be very, very careful¡­"

    "He''s aplete madman!"

    Xu Muge pursed her lips, "I know, thank you Yufei for informing me. I will definitely be careful."

    Chu Tianjiao, a scion of Jinling''s Chu Family, had caught her attention back then, desiring to take her as a female ve and brand her with a ve mark.

    She refused, resulting in his furious wrath, and he destroyed herpletely...

    How could she dare forget that?

    Whenever it came to mind, she trembled with intense anger and was filled with deep fear!

    Zhao Yuefei said, "I can''t be certain of the authenticity of the news, but regardless, when facing such a madman, it''s best not to go head-to-head with him."

    "In all of Jiangcheng, no one has the capital to go up against him. Qin Jiang, this includes you. Don''t think you''re the exception, alright?"

    Qin Jiang didn''t respond to her, knowing that words were useless. He would prove with his actions that he would make the person who hurt Xu Muge... pay back a hundredfold!

 Chapter 71 Killing Intent!

    "Yufei, I''ll take my leave first then." Muge and the other person walked out, only to see a figure approaching them head-on as soon as they exited the door.

    It was Zhang Tianxu.

    Qin Jiang nced coldly at him, and Zhang Tianxu''s eyes darted away, not daring to meet his gaze.

    Xu Muge asked curiously, "Qin Jiang, do you know that person just now?"

    "Not well," Qin Jiang shook his head indifferently, "but that guy has troubled me before, and I''ve taught him a lesson."

    Xu Muge nodded gravely, "Then you need to be careful. That guy doesn''t look like a good person, his gaze is quite frightening, and even though he hides it well, I always feel he holds resentment towards you!"

    Qin Jiang smiled. Zhang Tianxu''s hand was crippled by him; how could he not resent him?

    But that was to be expected. Who asked that fool to go looking for trouble? If he dared to trouble him again, Qin Jiang would twist his head off!

    After watching Qin Jiang walk away, Zhang Tianxu turned back, his eyes sinisterly fixed on Qin Jiang''s retreating figure.

    He clenched his fists violently!

    "Qin Jiang, damn you, even though you already have a woman, you''re still so close to Yufei! Damn you, you really deserve to die! I will definitely make you pay!"

    In his heart, he had long considered Zhao Yuefei his own and believed that she also had strong feelings for him. That meddler Qin Jiang was just ruining their rtionship!

    "I can''t beat you, but can''t my master kill you? You really think you''re so great without being taught a lesson!" Zhang Tianxu gritted his teeth.

    This jerk dared to get so close to his woman and even crippled one of his hands; he must avenge this no matter what! His master, Huang Tianji, was the second-ranked Martial Arts Master in Jiangcheng, and it would be easy for him to kill a small fry like Qin Jiang with just one hand!

    After ring hatefully at Qin Jiang, Zhang Tianxu walked into Zhao Yuefei''s office.

    "Yufei!"

    Upon seeing Zhao Yuefei, Zhang Tianxu''s face formed a smile.

    When Zhao Yuefei saw Zhang Tianxue in, a hint of displeasure appeared on her pretty face.

    "What are you doing in here?"

    Discover hidden content at m,v l''e-NovelBin

    Zhang Tianxu was just an security department manager at Zhao Corporation, but he had been pestering her incessantly, which she found utterly repulsive.

    However, considering the corporation was currently in need of staff, and Zhang Tianxu was unlikely to defect, she had decided to keep this man around for the time being.

    Unexpectedly, he had be even more brazen, now harboring delusions of getting her to be his girlfriend!

    Zhang Tianxu said, "Yufei, why have you be so cold? You weren''t like this before!"

    Zhao Yuefei responded tly, "Zhang Tianxu, please remember your ce and call me Mrs. Zhao! There is a superior-subordinate rtionship between us, and nothing more is possible! I don''t like you, do you understand?"

    "How many times have I rejected you? Why do you still cling on? If you continue like this, I will have you thrown out of Zhao Corporation. You are just a subordinate; do not overstep your bounds!!"

    Zhang Tianxu, with a tender look, seized Zhao Yuefei''s arm in excitement, "Yufei, could you give me a chance? I swear I will treat you well!"

    "I, Zhang Tianxu, am worthy of..."

    "Let go!" Zhao Yuefei struggled, but Zhang Tianxu''s grip was strong, and she couldn''t break free.

    In desperation, she pped him hard across the face, and with a loud smack, itnded squarely on Zhang Tianxu''s cheek!

    "Get out¡ª"

    Zhao Yuefei''s eyes turned colder.

    Stunned, Zhang Tianxu touched the burning pain on his face, feeling an overwhelming agony.

    He took two steps back and said, "Yufei, why would you suddenly treat me like this? No... I don''t believe it! Our interactions before were clearly very harmonious... And, I could feel it, you had feelings for me..."

    "Did you suddenly change because of Qin Jiang? Is it because of that bitch?"

    His voice became hysterical!

    "It must be him who said bad things about me in front of you, right? Otherwise, why would you suddenly go from love to hate me?"

    Zhao Yuefei saw Zhang Tianxu acting as if his heart was torn out and immediately felt a chill in her heart!

    This guy is really delusional!

    Feelings for him?

    From love to hate?

    What the hell...

    He''s really good at fantasizing!

    Even Zhao Yuefei, with her cold demeanor, was disgusted by Zhang Tianxu.

    She said coldly, "Manager Zhang, I don''t know why you have such a misunderstanding, but I want to make it clear to you, I have no feelings for you!"

    "No... there must be! Yufei, I know you are reserved and don''t want to admit it, right? I''ve been too extreme recently. If there''s anything that made you ufortable, you must speak up; we can''t let our rtionship crack..."

    Zhao Yuefei had the urge to curse.

    He said indifferently, "Zhang Tianxu! How many times do I have to tell you? Since I took over as the president of Zhao Corporation, I haven''t had many private contacts with you... Where did you see that I had feelings for you? It''s all your own fantasy."

    "The few times I allowed you to protect me up close, it was because you are the security manager of Zhao Corporation! Because you are the top expert of Zhao Corporation! Protecting me as the president and chairman, isn''t that your duty?"

    Zhang Tianxu spoke earnestly, "Those two times Mrs. Zhao faced crises, and it was me who resolved them for you, Mrs. Zhao. I saw the admiration and affection for me in your eyes."

    "Mrs. Zhao, if you keep being reserved, love is going to slip away. After all, for a man as strong and masculine as me, there are always plenty of girls chasing me..."

    Go fuck yourself!

    Zhao Yuefei was on the brink of copse; now she finally understood what a true believer in his own delusions looked like!

    "Get out!"

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "Zhang Tianxu, I have absolutely no feelings for you. Even if you were thest man on earth, I wouldn''t spare you a nce! I suggest you visit a hospital..."

    "I knew it, Yufei, you do care about me, always tough on the outside, soft at heart," Zhang Tianxu was touched, remembering the wound on her hand.

    Zhao Yuefei clenched her fingers tightly and said icily, "I told you to check if there''s something wrong with your brain!"

    "Even if I were to fall for a jerk like Qin Jiang, I would never fall for you! Do you understand? If you daree here to harass me again, you''ll be out of Zhao Corporation by tomorrow!"

    Zhang Tianxu''s eyes instantly turned fierce, "It''s really because of Qin Jiang! Zhao Yuefei, I didn''t expect you, who appears to be so pure and a lofty goddess on the surface, to be such a promiscuous woman underneath! You moved on so quickly!"

    The veins on his neck were about to burst.

    The rage inside him, at this moment, skyrocketed to an extreme...

    Qin Jiang! Qin Jiang!

    It''s always this bastard!

    He caused him to lose an arm, and now, he''s taken away the woman he loved!

    Damn it!

 Chapter 72 Tianlong Mall!

    Startled by Zhang Tianxu''s ferocious expression, Zhao Yuefei took a big jump back and inhaled deeply, "Zhang Tianxu, get out, or I''ll use you of harassment."

    Zhang Tianxu forced himself to calm down and said, "Yufei, I know you were just hot-headed, so you were fooled by Qin Jiang''s sweet-talking, right? I''m giving you a chance toe back to me..."

    "Psycho!"

    Unable to tolerate it any longer, Zhao Yuefei promptly threw the water in her hand!

    "Get out! And you''ve been fired, get out of Zhao Corporation!"

    Zhang Tianxu was doused from head to toe.

    "Hahaha! Very good, Zhao Yuefei, you fickle woman! Very good!" Heughed wildly, wiped the water from his face, and after giving Zhao Yuefei a stern look, he then turned and left the ce.

    However, Zhao Yuefei felt a chill watching Zhang Tianxu''s retreating figure.

    This guy was a threat.

    Yet another madman.

    Zhao Yuefei felt numb.

    Zhang Tianxu had just left the office when the secretary Lin Min walked in right after, "Mrs. Zhao, I''ve already arranged the auction."

    Zhao Yuefei took several deep breaths, "I know. No matter what, I must secure the ownership of thispany! Don''t let any information about Renhe get out, understand?"

    "Yes!" Lin Min nodded.

    She knew how long Zhao Yuefei had been waiting for this day; there could be no mistakes.

    Zhao Yuefei''s eyes flickered; thispany was invested in by her parents, andter, their deaths were also rted to this smallpany.

    Furthermore, the letter her parents asked Qin Jiang to pass to her had mentioned thispany.

    So, no matter the cost, she had to take over thispany! Also, the secret her parents talked about, must be inside this bankruptpany!

    Xu Muge suddenly spoke, "Qin Jiang, I have a ss reunion tonight that I was supposed to attend. I didn''t want to go initially, but now with Xu Group facing crises everywhere, and me just taking over, there are many areas that need redeployment including connections."

    Qin Jiang nodded, "I''ll apany you there."

    Xu Muge hesitated for a moment, "This... wouldn''t be appropriate, right?"

    "What''s inappropriate?" Qin Jiang countered, "Can''t I bring a partner? Besides, your ssmate just now was ruthless in embarrassing you. If you go alone, I''m afraid you''ll get into trouble!"

    "Alright then¡­" Xu Muge finally nodded and agreed, then added, "I''ll take you to change into something appropriate. Not that I''m looking down on you, but there are always some people in that group who are unpleasant, and I don''t want you to suffer their senseless slurs."

    Qin Jiang felt warmed by this, "Okay, you really do think of everything."

    In front of Xu Muge''s ssmates, he didn''t want to dress too casually and embarrass Xu Muge.

    "Let''s go!" Xu Muge took Qin Jiang directly to Tianlong Mall, the most luxurious mall locally and a frightening money-maker for the Liuu Family.

    "This is a Liuu Family property, I heard they make pure profits of several billion a year." Xu Muge''s eyes shone with admiration; such was the strength of a great family!

    "The Liuu Family, huh?" Qin Jiang murmured, he seemed to still be a VIP of the Liuu Family.

    Xu Muge nced at Qin Jiang a few times and began, "Let''s go, I''ll get you a few outfits. A man should have some clothes suitable for public appearances. It''sfortable to dress this way, sure, but it''s not always appropriate!"

    Qin Jiang touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

    He hadn''t really bothered with these matters before.

    Hand in hand, they walked into Anima Clothing Store in Tianlong Mall.

    "Wee!"

    As they entered, the clerk immediately greeted them warmly.

    But just then, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from inside the store!

    "Hm? Qin Jiang, didn''t expect it to be you!"

    Qin Jiang looked up to see a well-dressed young man striding towards him.

    "Out of jail and getting bold, huh? Daring to step into such high-end ces? Is this really where scum like you belong?"

    "Liu Zixian?" Qin Jiang frowned, not expecting to run into an old high school ssmate here. Liu Zixian was a rich kid who had been one of the popr guys in their ss and had had several conflicts with him over pursuing the ss beauty.

    But that was all just old and irrelevant now.

 Chapter 73 Price Increase by 10 Times!

    "What, is this some kind of pce, that I don''t belong here?" Qin Jiang retorted with irony.

    "Hahaha¡ª" Liu Zixianughed contemptuously and said, "That''s really funny. This is my store. I let in who I want and tell those I dislike to scram! You, can you afford Armani? Just look at the cheap stuff you''re wearing, all together it''s less than 300 yuan, right?"

    "Do you know how much the cheapest piece of clothing here costs?"

    "At least five thousand!"

    "I bet you can''t even afford the underwear here. Who are you trying to impress? Get the hell out of here! We don''t wee trash like you."

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "It seems to me that Tianlong Mall doesn''t have such a rule, right? This is the Liuu Family''s property, and you are nothing but a tenant taking advantage of the shell. Is it up to you to tell me whether I should roll out or not? And I, am a distinguished guest of the Liuu Family, you have no right to drive me away."

    "I would also advise you, I am not in a good mood today, it''s better not to provoke me."

    Tianlong Mall, was owned by the Liuu Family.

    And the VIP card in Qin Jiang''s hand, was one owned by less than ten people in the whole of Jiangcheng.

    Was Liu Zixian even worthy of driving him away?

    Qin Jiang was also familiar with the rules of Tianlong Mall; after all, it was the most bustling area in the whole of Jiangcheng, and it was extremely difficult for any merchant to get a spot there.

    The conditions were quite stringent.

    However, once settled in here, it meant a continuous influx of money.

    This was the reason behind Liu Zixian''s arrogance!

    But...

    This time, he picked the wrong person.

    Because, with just one word, Qin Jiang could ruin all of his efforts!

    It was precisely because of the unique nature of Tianlong Mall that the Liuu Family, who controlled the mall, had the power of life and death over all the merchants inside. If the Liuu Family told them to roll out, they had to roll!

    Upon hearing Qin Jiang''s words, a dismissive smile appeared on Liu Zixian''s face, "Qin Jiang, oh Qin Jiang, why put on a front with me, talking about the Liuu Family? Do you even know someone from the Liuu Family? Can you even make contact with them? That''s just hrious!"

    "What if I do kick you out today!"

    "Sure, just don''t regret it." Qin Jiang said indifferently, since Liu Zixian was treating him this way, why should he show any mercy? Let him dig his own grave.

    Xu Muge said in a deep voice, "Sir, we came here to shop, we are customers, your attitude is hardly appropriate for doing business, is it?"

    Liu Zixian''s eyes roved over Xu Muge''s figure and instantly felt an overwhelming jealousy. How could Qin Jiang have such a beautiful woman by his side? A stinking nobody who had been to jail, what right did he have?

    He said dismissively, "Beauty, this guy is no good; don''t be tricked by him. This kind of man likes to deceive naive girls like you! How can I, a sessful businessman, not be more sincere?"

    "Let me introduce myself, my name is Liu Zixian, I drive a BMW, live in a luxury apartment that''s over two hundred square meters, and my worth is over ten million yuan. This Armani store is mine!" he imed confidently.

    Xu Muge''s tone was frosty as she clung to Qin Jiang''s arm and said, "I like to pamper pretty boys! So what?"

    "I want to buy him clothes!"

    Liu Zixian was infuriated by Xu Muge, this obstinate woman who couldn''t see reason.

    "The clothes here aren''t cheap, can you afford them?"

    Xu Muge stepped forward, picked several items, and then said, "I''ll take these."

    Qin Jiang had a great figure, tall at 1.8 meters, looking slim in clothes but muscr without, the perfect physique, and these clothes suited him very well.

    "The total is 53,000, please swipe your card," she said lightly.

    Seeing Xu Muge swipe such arge sum of money and that it was all for Qin Jiang, Liu Zixian felt an unspeakable jealousy. He hesitated before saying coldly, "53,000 was the old price."

    "Oh, what''s the price now?" Xu Muge''s expression turned extremely ugly!

    This guy, was going too far!

    "It''s gone up to 530,000!" Liu Zixian said with a smile, "Can you still afford it?"

    "You¡ª" Xu Muge was furious, "This is outrageous!"

    "Sorry, it''s my merchandise, I can sell it for however much I want!"

    Qin Jiang spoke with a cold voice, "After all, we were ssmates, do you really need to make it so difficult for us?"

 Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Spit it out double!

    "That''s right, I''m deliberately making things difficult for you, what about it?!" Liu Zixian sneered, "You used to have decent grades and were quite the star in the ss. Look at you now, what''s the difference between you and a stray dog!"

    Qin Jiang wrapped his arms around Xu Muge''s waist, contempt on his face, "I can be a kept man, can you?"

    "You¡ª" Liu Zixian was truly at a loss for words. Could this guy be any more shameless?

    "Nothing but a fake richdy, what''s so great about that? Get lost quickly! We don''t wee you here, you can''t evene up with five hundred thousand, that''s hrious."

    Qin Jiang''s face suddenly turned cold, "I dare to give you five hundred thousand, do you dare to take it?"

    Liu Zixian snickered, "What would I be afraid of! Talking as if you''re really wealthy?"

    "Qin Jiang!" Xu Muge panicked. Where could she get five hundred thousand from? Thepany''s money wasn''t hers, how could she just use it as she pleased?

    And besides, even if she had the money, it wasn''t supposed to be used like this!

    Five hundred thousand to buy a few pieces of ragged clothing?

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "It''s okay, I have money."

    "Bring over the card reader, let''s swipe the card!"

    He stared coldly at Liu Zixian. This guy dared to make things difficult for him, he was definitely going to make him pay double!

    Qin Jiang''s money wasn''t so easy to take.

    He would make Liu Zixian cough up twice as much!

    Liu Zixian continued to sneer, gesturing to the clerk to bring the card reader!

    "I want to see how long you can keep this act up!"

    "Beep¡ª" Qin Jiang took out a card and swiped it.

    "Five hundred and thirty thousand yuan even, transferred!"

    As the voice announced this, the entire room fell deathly silent in an instant!

    Liu Zixian was stunned.

    Did this guy actually have that much money?

    But, this fool, was actually using over fifty thousand to buy something worth only about five thousand?

    "Have you lost your mind?" Xu Muge found it iprehensible. Was Qin Jiang''s action not overly impulsive?

    Having money doesn''t mean you waste it like this!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "It''s fine, I''ll make him spit out double."

    Liu Zixian burst outughing, "Nice! Qin Jiang! You''re really good at ying the big shot! Spending fifty thousand on something worth five thousand, you are impressive indeed, I admire you!"

    He pped andughed loudly, "Take your stuff and get lost quickly, thank you for the five hundred thousand."

    But Qin Jiang justughed, a chillingugh, "Liu Zixian, you don''t think this is the end, do you? The real show is just beginning!"

    "What else do you want?" Liu Zixian said with contempt, "You don''t really think you can do anything to me, do you?"

    Qin Jiang replied lightly, "If you don''t want to rm the Liuu Family, I suggest youpensate me with one million now, or you will regret itter, and it won''t be something a million can resolve."

    One million was nothing to Qin Jiang, but for Liu Zixian, it was a huge hit. He wanted this malicious man to feel the pain keenly!

    "Hahaha¡ª" Liu Zixian burst intoughter, "This is killing me, the Liuu Family? rming the Liuu Family? Who do you think you are? Disturbing the Liuu Family, what a joke!"

    "If you''re capable, go ahead and call someone from the Liuu Family over! I''m so scared!"

    "Oh, I forgot to tell you, the general manager of this mall is my uncle. You want toin about me? Dream on! I''ve got your five hundred thousand in the bag!"

    Seeing him unrepentant, Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to waste more words, "Fine, then you deal with the consequences."

    He took out his phone and dialed Liuu Yan''s number.

    "Pfft!" Liu Zixian burst outughing. "Putting on an act! Aplete joke!"

    "Go call the security guard for me! Kick these two out!"

    Just then, Qin Jiang''s call connected!

    The soft voice of Liuu Yan came through, "Hello, this is..."

    "Qin Jiang." Qin Jiang replied indifferently. "I''m at Tianlong Mall and I''ve encountered something unpleasant. I''m about to lose my temper, that''s not going to be a problem, right?"

 Chapter 75 The Limited Edition VIP Card!

    Liuu Yan immediately panicked, "Mr. Qin! Who dares to trouble you? I''ll be there right away!"

    "No need, there''s no trouble for you toe in person, I''ll handle it myself." Qin Jiang informed her and then immediately hung up the phone.

    Liu Zixian sneered with disdain, "Still pretending? You think you can scare me?"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to waste words with him and simply threw the Supreme Card in front of him, "Open your damn eyes and see clearly! What is this?"

    The card hit Liu Zixian in the face, leaving his cheek swollen. He picked it up and saw that it was actually a card!

    The card was exquisite, with carved flowers and iid gold, very grand.

    He was dumbfounded on the spot.

    "What is this?"

    Quickly, he tossed the card aside andughed derisively, "Bringing this to intimidate me? You think I''m a vegetarian?"

    He had only recently moved in here, and it was his uncle who had pulled strings for him, so he had no idea that this was the Liuu Family''s exclusive VIP card!

    "Call the security guards over here!"

    He shouted coldly.

    Quickly, several waitresses rushed out shouting for security, and a few guards arrived on the scene with fierce momentum.

    "Mr. Liu!" Upon seeing Liu Zixian, fear showed in their eyes.

    After all, Liu Zixian''s uncle was the big boss here at Tianlong Mall, making him practically the top figure. As long as the Liuu Family wasn''t around, he was the tyrant!

    These security guards didn''t dare offend Liu Zixian.

    They even wanted to curry favor with him.

    Liu Zixian huffed angrily, "Good timing. This guy dares to make trouble in my ce, you lot bettere up here and teach him a lesson!"

    He roared furiously.

    Hearing this, several security guards moved forward, "Get out of here quickly, this ce isn''t for you to run wild! Do you know who Mr. Liu is?"

    Qin Jiang was expressionless, "I know, so what?"

    "Arrogant! Throw him out!"

    The lead security guard bellowed, and they quickly surrounded him. Qin Jiang moved as fast as lightning and with several painful screams, all the security guards were subdued by him in an instant!

    Qin Jiang''s tone was icy, "Even the real owner of Tianlong Mall wouldn''t dare treat me like this, yet you minions are bold enough!"

    Qin Jiang took steps toward Liu Zixian, "I said today that I would make you cough up double the money! My word is my bond!"

    His tone was chilling and dominant.

    Liu Zixian felt his scalp tingle under his re!

    Just then, anothermanding voice came through, "Zixian, what''s going on? With your uncle here, who would dare to bully you?"

    A middle-aged man stepped forward, nked by a group of men in suits and leather shoes! They were all from Tianlong Mall''s management team, each with significant power and influence!

    Leading them was none other than Wang Zhuo, a trusted confidant highly regarded by the Liuu Family and the current big boss of Tianlong Mall, who was also Liu Zixian''s uncle!

    "Big uncle!" Seeing the neer, Liu Zixian immediately turned to him as if seeing a savior, "This guy is causing trouble at my ce! Hurry up and kick him out!"

    "Oh? Kid, you''ve got some nerve!" Wang Zhuomanded impressively, his loud voice exuding authority, "It seems you''re here to make trouble, and that means you''re courting death!"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "It seems to me that the one courting death is you, you must be the Liuu Family''spdog, right?"

    "You¡ª" Wang Zhuo red up in anger.

    "I am the boss here! The entire Tianlong Mall is under my management!"

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang said coldly, "It just so happens you can take a look, what is this?"

    All the people from Tianlong Mall followed Qin Jiang''s gaze...

    Suddenly!

    Their faces turned ashen...

    "Boss, this... this looks like the Liuu Family''s limited edition VIP card?!"

    A high-ranking official''s voice trembled, then he scrambled to pick up the VIP card, and then showed it to Wang Zhuo...

    "Gulp!" Wang Zhuo shivered, "This... this is really genuine?"

 Chapter 76: Chapter Seventy-six: The Eldest Miss!

    As the manager of Tianlong Mall, Wang Zhuo was a man ustomed to grand scenes. He naturally recognized the Liuu Family''s prestigious VIP card; it was definitely a symbol of status.

    How on earth did Qin Jiang get his hands on something like this?

    "What prestigious VIP card?" Liu Zixian quickly stepped forward and spoke, "Uncle, how could this guy possibly be a VIP of the Liuu Family? You''re thinking too much!"

    "This guy is just trash straight out of jail! His family is so poor they can''t even lift the lid of their cooking pot! Look at him, could he be a VIP of the Liuu Family?"

    Upon hearing this, Wang Zhuo said sternly, "Zixian, you can''t just say things like that!"

    Liu Zixian sneered.

    "Uncle, I''ve known him for several years, we were high school ssmates. How would I not know if his family had any wealth? He''s just been released from three years in prison! He''s probably having a hard time even finding a job! Do you think he could be a VIP?"

    But this was, indeed, an authentic Liuu Family VIP card!

    No more than ten people in the entire city possessed one!

    However, Wang Zhuo generally knew everyone who held this card, and he had indeed never seen this young man before!

    Liu Zixian said, "Uncle, in my opinion, he must have stolen this card from somewhere. You must interrogate him thoroughly! If it really was swiped from some important person, and you find that out, it''ll be a great achievement!"

    Upon hearing this, Wang Zhuo also felt it made sense.

    His somber gaze turned towards Qin Jiang as he said coldly, "Kid, where did you get this card from? Come clean now, and maybe, just maybe, I''ll let you off the hook!"

    His eyes erupted with a fierce gleam.

    "Liuu Yan gave it to me."

    Qin Jiang replied coldly, "You''re just a servant, ackey working for the Liuu Family! Do you have the right to question me?"

    "How dare you!" Liu Zixian was furious, "How do you speak to my uncle? Are you looking for death?"

    Wang Zhuo became enraged, "Take him! Interrogate him thoroughly!"

    "So noisy." Qin Jiang simply pped Liu Zixian across the face.

    Liu Zixian screamed and fell to the ground!

    "It seems that even this VIP card is useless now on the Liuu Family''s turf?"

    "The Liuu Family themselves wouldn''t dare be so brazen. You lot, begging for scraps under their table, sure have some nerve!"

    Hearing this, Wang Zhuo said coldly, "I''ve met every important person who holds a Liuu Family VIP card! There''s no one like you! This card, where did ite from, huh?"

    Qin Jiang,posed and unflustered, retorted, "Do I need to exin to a minion like you?"

    In Wang Zhuo''s view, such behavior was even more indicative of guilt.

    "Heh, won''t give up until they see the Yellow River! Call all the security guards! Surround this area!"

    "Let''s see how long he can keep up his tough act!"

    "Huff, huff, huff¡ª"

    At themand, within a few minutes, all the security guards in Tianlong Mall swiftly converged on the scene.

    Rushing towards the store!

    Their uniform attire and the dark mass of people created an incredibly oppressive atmosphere!

    Wang Zhuo stood with his hands behind his back, "Onest chance, tell me where you got that card from! Otherwise... today, I''ll have you leave horizontally!"

    Liu Zixian red at Qin Jiang with venom, "Today, you''re definitely dead meat!"

    Qin Jiang replied coolly, "Just don''t regret it."

    "Still being stubborn!" Liu Zixian said with disdain, "If that card really belongs to you, I, Liu Zixian, will go to the bathroom, eat my fill, thene back! However, it''s quite clear, that possibility is zero!"

    At these words, Qin Jiang said calmly, "I''ll amodate you."

    Just as his words fell, amotion could be heard from outside!

    "What''s going on? Why all themotion?" Suddenly, a dignified voice rang out!

    "Miss!"

    "Miss!"

    The sounds rose and fell one after another!

    The security guards all bowed and nodded their heads in greeting as a young woman walked in, urgency written on her face and her footsteps hurried as if searching for someone.

    It was Liuu Yan!!!

    "Miss!"

    Seeing their master, Wang Zhuo''s body trembled. He stepped forward and bowed at a ny-degree angle, his obsequious smile nearly spilling over his face!

    As for Liu Zixian, he also scurried over eagerly.

    "Miss Liuu Yan, hello, I am Liu Zixian..."

    "I''m not interested in who you are! Don''t block the way!" Liuu Yan said coldly.

    Liu Zixian''s face was awash with embarrassment, "It''s like this... We have a guy here who stole another bigwig''s VIP card and has been swaggering around in our mall pretending to be someone he isn''t..."

    At these words, Liuu Yan''s face became grave.

    VIP card?

    It couldn''t be... could it?

    Qin Jiang?

    Just as she nced around, she saw Qin Jiang standing there!

    "Mr. Qin!" As Liuu Yan saw Qin Yan, she was incredibly moved and immediately rushed over, her attitude extremely respectful.

    This scenepletely stunned everyone present¡­

    This, this!

    Was this guy actually acquainted with the Miss?

    Wang Zhuo''s face turned deathly white!

    Liu Zixian was terrified out of his wits!

    Xu Muge''s anxious heart also rxedpletely at this moment.

    She wondered, when had Qin Jiang gotten to know such a prominent figure as Liuu Yan, the current CEO of Liuu Corporation, the controller of the Liuu Corporation!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Miss Liuu Yan, your Tianlong Mall''s staff and management are really arrogant! Initially, I wanted to handle it myself, but I didn''t expect that your underlings wouldn''t even recognize the Liuu Family''s VIP card!"

    "I came to shop here but was driven out. Then, I was extorted to buy things at ten times the price! They even ordered the security to chase me out! My girlfriend was terrified, so tell me, how should this matter be settled?"

    Qin Jiang''s tone was very calm, but full of authority, leaving people struggling to breathe under its weight.

    All their faces revealed panic.

    Liuu Yan was furiously thunderous, fixing her eyes on Liu Zixian, Wang Zhuo, and the others.

    "Immediately give Mr. Qin a satisfactory exnation! Otherwise... the consequences will be severe!"

    "I..." Liu Zixian stammered.

    Liuu Yan stepped forward and pped his face, "What do you mean by ''I''? Kneel before Mr. Qin and speak!"

    "Thud¡ª" Liu Zixian, terrified to his core, immediately knelt before Qin Jiang!

    As Liuu Yan''s gaze fell on Wang Zhuo, he had already rushed forward, kneeling before Qin Jiang, his voice trembling as he lifted his head.

    "I was blind, please... please forgive me, Mr. Qin!"

    He knew the young man before him was not someone he could afford to provoke! Now, the only option was to await his decision. If he wouldn''t let it go, they were finished...

 Chapter 77 Not enough! Still not enough!

    Qin Jiang''s gaze was ice cold as he spoke deliberately, "Coming to apologize now, isn''t it a bitte?"

    Liu Zixian pleaded, "Qin Jiang, after all, we were ssmates. Spare me when you can, give me a chance, don''t be unmerciful when you''re right!"

    The humiliation on his face was hard to bear, and he was extremely unwilling. How could this damn loser know Miss Liuu Yan!

    And even holding a VIP card from the Liuu Family!

    Why?

    Why, damn it!

    His jealousy had reached its limit.

    "Bang¡ª " Qin Jiang kicked him, sending him flying, "Why didn''t you think about our time as ssmates just now, giving me a chance? Huh? I just love being unmerciful when I''m right. Got a problem with that?"

    Liu Zixian''s head was bloody, and he screamed in pain!

    Qin Jiang stated coldly, "Miss Liuu Yan, this kind of arrogant merchant openly extorts customers and tarnishes the reputation of Tianlong Commerce Association. Tell me, should we keep him here?"

    Liuu Yan''s eyes suddenly darkened, "Starting today, I''ll give you one day to move out of Tianlong Mall!"

    Hearing this, Liu Zixian immediately went limp, crawling to Qin Jiang''s feet in tears.

    "Qin, Lord Qin, Mr. Qin... I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please give me another chance! I''ve invested five million in this store and haven''t even made my money back... If you kick me out now, I''ll be finished..."

    Once he was expelled, all the money he had invested earlier would be gone...

    He would bepletely ruined!

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Before, I gave you a chance."

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Liu Zixian was frantically kowtowing, "I''m kowtowing to you, I''m willing to do anything you ask!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered with him, instead turning his icy gaze towards Wang Zhuo, "He blindly indulged his nephew, heaped humiliation upon me, even boasted he would break my legs and throw me out! Miss Liuu Yan... Does such a man deserve to be in charge of security for the Liuu Family?"

    Liuu Yan immediately announced with a cold voice, "Wang Zhuo, as of today, you are stripped of your manager position! All the dividend shares given to you by the Liuu Family are to be taken back!"

    Wang Zhuo turned pale as a ghost, scrambling over, begging pitifully, "Lord Qin, please give me a chance..."

    "Whatever you ask me to do... I''ll do it..."

    How arrogant he had been earlier, and now, he was nothing but humble and pathetic...

    The two of them were shaking terribly, fearfully looking at Qin Jiang, because they knew this young man could decide their life or death with just a word!

    This was someone they couldn''t afford to provoke!

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Fine! I''ll give you a chance. Muge, what do you think should be done with them?"

    Xu Muge hesitated for a moment.

    The two immediately turned their pleading eyes towards her.

    Xu Muge was also furious. She hade here to buy something, only to encounter this nonsense, making her unhappy, "We were cheated out of five hundred thousand. Being humiliated isn''t something an apology can fix!"

    "I''m very unhappy."

    "Sorry, sorry! I''llpensate... I''llpensate..." Liu Zixian quickly said, "I''llpensate right away."

    "I willpensate you one million!"

    "Not enough!" Qin Jiang said coldly.

    "Two million!" Liu Zixian gritted his teeth, pleading, "Two million is enough, right...?"

    "Not enough!"

    "Five million..." Wang Zhuo quickly said, "We are willing topensate five million!"

    Qin Jiang then nodded with satisfaction, "Good! Ten times thepensation! That shows some sincerity!"

    "But... that''s just the first condition."

    Hearing this, both went pale, knowing that today''s issue probably wouldn''t be settled easily.

    "Tell me!" Wang Zhuo also knew that no matter what it took, pleasing Lord Qin was the only way out!

    Qin Yan said, "Liu Zixian, it''s time to keep your promise."

    Liu Zixian trembled...

    "I..."

    Was he really going to eat that disgusting thing?

    He felt a shiver down his spine, goosebumps all over, almost fainting right there!

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "No need for it to be warm, Mr. Wang, right? Go get your nephew a drink from the restroom to have here. This request isn''t too much, is it?"

    "Uncle, I..."

    "What about you!" Wang Zhuo roared angrily, kicking him, "It''s all because of your idiotic blunder! Goddammit, you deserve a harsh lesson!"

    Liu Zixian was kicked so hard he spat out blood!

    Wang Zhuo scrambled to his feet and bowed repeatedly to Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, I''m on it right away! Your punishment is just, we''re men of our word..."

    After saying that he rushed to the restroom in the shop, and eventually emerged holding a can.

    It was giving off a strong odor.

    "Drink it!" he yelled at Liu Zixian.

    Liu Zixian received the can, his face deathly pale. He was contemting death...

    But he knew Qin Jiang wouldn''t let him off if he didn''t drink it!

    So, he had no choice but to take the can in his hands.

    Then, he brought it close to his mouth...

 Chapter 78 Class Reunion!

    "Stop fussing!" Wang Zhuo burst into rage and forcibly poured the drink down his throat!

    "Gurgle gurgle¡ª"

    Liu Zixian only felt his head buzzing, and after finishing the drink, his eyes rolled back, and he copsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth, convulsing continuously!

    Wang Zhuo looked at his nephew on the ground, feeling a bit of heartache, but remembering it was Liu Zixian who had caused him to end up in such a state, he retracted any trace of pity...

    You reap what you sow, no one can live with guilt!

    After doing all this, he respectfully turned to Qin Yan and asked, "Lord Qin, are you satisfied now?"

    Qin Jiang nced indifferently at Liu Zixian, who was still convulsing on the ground, and said lightly, "Transfer the money."

    Wang Zhuo gritted his teeth and made the transfer.

    "Transfer it to my girlfriend''s card."

    "Yes, yes, yes!"

    Xu Muge was shocked, "Qin Jiang..."

    This was five million in cash!

    Qin Jiang smiled slightly, "What''s mine is yours."

    His words warmed Xu Muge''s heart.

    After the transfer waspleted, Liuu Yan approached with a look of regret, returning the exclusive VIP card to Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, I''m sorry for theck of hospitality and for startling you."

    "It''s a small matter." Qin Jiang knew it wasn''t Liuu Yan''s fault.

    "This must be Mr. Qin''s girlfriend? Truly a breathtaking beauty, no wonder she captured Mr. Qin''s heart."

    Liuu Yan stretched out her hand with a smile, her gaze full of admiration as she looked over Xu Muge.

    There was also an indescribable feeling.

    Xu Muge was ttered, "Miss Liuu, you''re too kind. Allow me to introduce myself, Xu Muge from the Xu Family."

    Liuu Yan was astonished, "So, you''re Xu Muge, the Xu Family''s heir, one of Jiangcheng''s four great beauties!"

    Suddenly, she felt somewhat embarrassed as this title was given by some busybodies, and like Xu Muge, she was also one of Jiangcheng''s four great beauties.

    Was this like praising herself?

    "You tter me, Miss Liuu, but you are the true beauty," Xu Muge said politely.

    Liuu Yan''s fame was not less than hers, but the power and wealth she controlled far surpassed Xu Muge!

    Liuu Yan was indeed the object of Xu Muge''s envy...

    Thinking of how she was being suppressed by the Xu Family to this extent, she could only respond with a wry smile.

    Just then, Xu Muge''s phone rang, "Muge, it''s sote, why haven''t you arrived yet?" a female voice came through the phone.

    "I''m so sorry, I got held up by something, but I''m on my way," she replied.

    "Alright, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!"

    The caller was Bai Yueya, Xu Muge''s good friend from high school, and it was her who had invited Xu Muge to the banquet that day.

    For the sake of saving face, Xu Muge didn''t feel it appropriate to refuse.

    Furthermore, among the guests attending that night would be many ssmates and their friends of considerable status, all of whom were doing quite well, so Xu Muge thought to possibly use the opportunity to expand herwork.

    After hanging up the phone, Xu Muge gave an embarrassed smile, "I''m sorry, I just had a call."

    Liuu Yan said with a smile, "It''s ok, Miss Xu, go ahead with your business, I won''t disturb the two of you any longer."

    "We take our leave." Qin Jiang andpany picked up their clothes and walked out of Tianlong Mall, heading straight for the banquet venue.

    "Master, let''s go to Tianlong Residence," Xu Muge spoke up.

    "Tianlong Residence?" The driver was surprised, "That''s a high-end ce!

    Xu Muge gave an embarrassed smile in response, "It could be... probably."

    The driver looked on pensively; Tianlong Residence was indeed a renowned ce in Jiangcheng, as it was part of Dragon Gate''s enterprises.

    And it catered to the high-end market.

    With Dragon Gate''s backing, the business naturally thrived, hosting numerous upscale corporate events.

    In the car, Xu Muge took out the new clothes she had just bought and helped Qin Jiang put them on.

    "Put them on quickly, we''re pressed for time."

    Qin Yan smiled, obediently put on the clothes, and half an hourter, they arrived at Tianlong Residence.

    "Muge!"

    As soon as they got out of the car, a young woman was waiting there and called out loudly.

    This woman was none other than Bai Yueya.

    "Yueya!" Seeing her old friend, Xu Muge also showed a hint of a smile on her face.

    Ever since Bai Yueya went to study abroad, they had seldom seen each other, especially in thest few years, as they seldom kept in touch. Naturally, their reunion brought a bit of joy.

    However, when Bai Yueya caught sight of Qin Jiang next to Xu Muge, her expression immediately turned grim.

    "You''ve followed her here too?"

    She looked at Qin Jiang with disdain, "Even if you wear a dragon robe, you don''t look like a prince! Muge, you''re still hanging out with this kind of person? Wasn''t what she did to youst time miserable enough?"

    She was very angry, for the affair involving Xu Muge back then was known by everyone in Jiangcheng! As Xu Muge''s friend, she wished she could tear the despicable scum Qin Jiang to pieces!

    "Yueya, let it go," Xu Muge quickly took her arm andforted her.

    "You, you''re just so love-struck!"

    Bai Yueya said with an exasperated look, "Does he deserve you? Now that you have finally regained your looks, you must be discerning! Don''t let this scum ruin you!"

    Xu Muge just gave a bitter smile.

    Qin Jiang also spoke up, "We are capable of handling our own rtionship. I understand your concern for Muge as her friend, but that''s all it should be. Don''t meddle in our affairs!"

    "You¡ª" Bai Yueya trembled with anger. Did this guy really think he was in the right?

    "Okay, okay! Let''s head inside," Xu Muge said, "I bet a lot of our ssmates can''t wait any longer, right?"

    Bai Yueya suddenly whispered, "Li Xinxin is here today too, you better keep it down! This woman has a lot of grievances against you today! She''s vowing to take revenge on you!"

    "Her boyfriend came with her, I heard he''s the deputy manager of the project department at Zhao Corporation!"

    "This is serious!"

    Bai Yueya shot a cold nce at Qin Jiang, "Someone else''s boyfriend is so outstanding, and then there''s you! How do youpare to Muge? If you truly like Muge, then don''t hold her back! Do you know how many rich young masters and talented youths are pursuing her? As for you...hah, you''re not fit to show your face!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to argue anymore.

    "That''s enough," Xu Muge said. "Qin Jiang isn''t as bad as you think."

    Bai Yueya then said, "Today, our idol Zhang Xiao will also be there."

    "I heard he''s prepared a big surprise too!"

    Hearing the name Zhang Xiao, Xu Muge suddenly felt awkward; he had been her ss monitor in high school and had doggedly pursued her for three years.

    All of which she had rejected.

    Afterwards, he persisted and never gave up!

    However, after her disfigurement, the guy had vanished without a trace!

    It was said that he''s now doing very well and was even named one of Jiangcheng''s Top Ten Outstanding Youths! Starting from scratch, he now had a fortune of tens of millions!

    The group made their way inside.

    In the private room, a crowd was surrounding Li Xinxin and herpanion, ttering and fawning over them.

    They kept toasting relentlessly.

    But Li Xinxin seemed less than enthusiastic.

    "When is that bitch Xu Muge finally going to arrive! Today I must make aughingstock of her! Dear, you will help me stand up to her, won''t you?" she demanded.

    Ling Yang said indifferently, "Of course."

    "Don''t worry, no matter who offends you, I will stand up for you!"

    "Great! Later I, oh, will p that woman in the face in front of everyone!"

    Li Xinxin was gritting her teeth.

    "Sure!" Ling Yang nodded calmly, "With me here, even if you p her face off, nobody dares to fight back!"

    "Still the same domineering sweetheart," Li Xinxin looked up to him with admiration, her fists clenched with excitement as if she had already seen Xu Muge being humiliated in front of everyone!

    Meanwhile, Ling Yang raised a ss of wine, his thoughts on the current situation at Zhao Corporation. Chen Dafa had been sent home for the time being, and now, his immediate boss was Qin Jiang!

    He had also attended today''s meeting, so he knew just how ruthless Qin Jiang''s methods could be.

    Moreover, judging by the situation, Qin Jiang was surely a trusted confidant of Zhao Ruge, not someone to be messed with, only someone to be pleased! If Qin Jiang were toe to work at thepany one day, he would have to make sure to establish a good rtionship!

    No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the door was pushed open!

    Several people walked in.

    "Xu Muge!" Li Xinxin immediately shook with anger, standing up, "You''re finished today... I will make you pay for this humiliation!"

    And Ling Yang, as well, looked up, a trace of coldness in his eyes. Anyone who dared to touch his girlfriend was pping him in the face, asking for trouble!

    But soon enough, his expression changed drastically.

 Chapter 79 Class Monitor, Zhang Xiao!

    "Xu Muge is here!"

    Many ssmates inside the private room, along with their friends, all turned their attention toward Xu Muge.

    Seeing Xu Muge''s beauty restored to its stunning degree, a hint of amazement surfaced in their eyes!

    Indeed, still so breathtaking!

    However...

    Today, Li Xinxin was set to confront Xu Muge, and with Ling Yang backing Li Xinxin, there would be a good show to watch today!

    They all had a look of pity on their faces.

    If Xu Muge were still with the Xu Family, backed by their support, she wouldn''t fear Ling Yang and the others.

    Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelBin

    But now, Xu Muge stood alone,pletely unacknowledged by the Xu Family¡ªIf Ling Yang truly caused trouble, she might not be able to withstand his fury!

    Soon, their gazes fell on the young man beside Xu Muge!

    "Is that him?"

    Some male ssmates immediately scoffed jealously; a few of them also recognized Qin Jiang¡ªafter all, back in the day, Qin Jiang and Xu Muge had been childhood sweethearts, so they could vaguely make out that Qin Jiang was the same poor kid who used to be by Xu Muge''s side.

    Li Xinxin immediately raised her voice, yelling loudly, "Xu Muge! Get over here and kneel to apologize to me! Otherwise, you''ll suffer today!"

    "Oh?" Xu Muge responded coldly, "What if I say no?"

    "If you dare to utter half a ''no,'' today, my boyfriend will make you pay the price! And that stinky loser, get over here too! Kneel down and lick..."

    "p!"

    Suddenly, Ling Yang stood up and pped Li Xinxin''s face with the back of his hand!

    This abrupt scene stunned everyone.

    "What..."

    They dumbly watched everything unfold.

    What''s going on?

    "Ling Yang, you... why did you suddenly hit me?!" Li Xinxin covered her face, looking aggrieved.

    "You deserved that p, you idiot!"

    Ling Yang was furiously enraged, and in the next moment, he pped Li Xinxin''s other cheek!

    Li Xinxin was knocked onto the table, spilling drinks all over her, aplete mess on her face, looking extremely disheveled.

    Silence suddenly fell within the private room!

    Had Ling Yang lost his mind?

    Just now he said he would seek justice for his girlfriend, so why did he end up hitting Li Xinxin like this? They were incredulous and held their breath.

    Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes, observing the farcical scene before him.

    Just then, Ling Yang put away the anger on his face and reced it with a sycophantic smile, walking toward Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, hello, I''m Ling Yang!"

    Seeing Ling Yang''s overly polite demeanor made everyone present feel disbelief.

    Were they seeing things?

    After all, Ling Yang was a deputy manager of a project department in the Zhao Corporation, earning a million a year!

    How could he show such respect to Qin Jiang, that so-called loser?

    Qin Jiang asked coldly, "Who are you?"

    "I''m the deputy manager of the project department. I met you at the meeting this morning."

    "Also, from now on, I will be under yourmand. In the days ahead, please take good care of me."

    With those words...

    The entire ce fell deadly silent!

    Ling Yang, under Qin Jiang''smand?

    How was that possible?!

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "I am just temporarily acting as the project manager for a week, essentially a mere security guard. There''s no need to be so polite to me; have a seat."

    Ling Yangughed, saying, "Mr. Qin, you are really modest. Sui Feiran is just acting temporarily, but you are still my superior. Please, have a seat!"

    After he said this, he willingly gave up the seat of honor.

    Everyone was stunned. Temporarily acting as the manager for a week?

    How did he manage that?

    Li Xinxin''s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at what was happening.

    Ling Yang nced coldly at Li Xinxin, "Why are you still standing there stupefied? Get out now! Don''t get in the way of Mr. Qin and thedy!"

    "I... I..." Li Xinxin''s eyes suddenly reddened.

    She had not expected that seeking her boyfriend''s help would result in him publicly pping her twice!

    And Xu Muge had stolen the spotlight from her!

    This huge drop from her expectations was something she could not ept, and she felt like she was about to explode.

    "Get lost! Do you need me to invite you out?" Ling Yang''s voice grew colder, frightening Li Xinxin into leaving, scrambling and rolling, for once she and Ling Yang broke up, she would have nothing!

    "Mr. Qin, Miss, please have some tea!"

    Ling Yang, like a fawning dog, stayed busy around Qin Jiang, extremely attentive.

    "Hmph! I thought there was something great, it turns out it''s just a little security guard. Why would Ling be afraid of him? I see he''s just lucky, that''s it! After a week, he will be nothing!"

    A sarcastic voice chimed in.

    "Compared to our ss president, he''s not even fit to carry the shoes!"

    The speaker was a young man, with a defiant look on his face.

    "Wang Ping, keep it down!" someone warned.

    "What''s there to be afraid of; he''s just a security guard and he admitted it himself!" Wang Ping sneered, "Muge, such a beautiful woman like you wasting your time with a loser¡ªit''s such a pity."

    "In my view, only a talented young man like our ss president is worthy of you."

    "Hahaha¡ª" Suddenly a heartyugh came from outside the door, "Wang Ping, you kid, after all these years, you still talk so sweetly!"

    As the voice died away, a young man dressed in a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers stepped inside.

    His eyes, brimming with emotion, quicklynded on Xu Muge, and then, taking a deep breath, he walked towards Xu Muge.

 Chapter 80 One Sentence, Nothing Left!

    "Muge, long time no see!"

    Zhang Xiao took out a bouquet of flowers, with a smile on his face, and handed it directly to Xu Muge.

    Xu Muge was startled, feeling extremely awkward.

    "I know you like these flowers, I brought them especially for you."

    Zhang Xiao said, "You wouldn''t refuse an old ssmate''s kind gesture, would you?"

    Xu Muge felt annoyed and said indifferently, "Sorry, my tastes have long since changed."

    "I don''t like these flowers."

    "Right, ept the ss president''s kind gesture, won''t you?"

    "Are you really going to be that disrespectful?"

    "Take it! Take it! Take it¡ª," the crowd chimed in, egging her on.

    Zhang Xiao, looking displeased, said, "Muge, do me a favor, everyone''s watching."

    Qin Jiang said coolly, "My girlfriend doesn''t like these flowers, but I do; give them to me."

    Having said that, he reached out and took the flowers.

    "You¡ª"

    Zhang Xiao was fuming with anger, but Qin Jiang applied a little pressure with his fingers, causing Zhang Xiao''s wrist to hurt and his grip to loosen.

    He grimaced in pain.

    Qin Jiang took the flowers and then nced at them, "Wow, pretty thoughtful of you. Didn''t expect you to prepare a ring too. I can take the flowers, but the ring, it''s too expensive."

    After speaking, Qin Yan threw the ring back at him.

    Zhang Xiao scrambled to catch the ring, looking rather flustered. He red at Qin Yan angrily, "What are you trying to do? Don''t you have any manners?!"

    Qin Jiang''s gaze darkened as he stood up, an intimidating aura emanating from him, "I''m right beside my girlfriend, and youe here to show off! Who''scking manners now? Get lost!"

    A tremendous presence bore down, making Zhang Xiao feel as though he couldn''t catch his breath!

    "Enough already!" Bai Yueya frowned, "Muge, look at this guy, still so rash, not mature at all, he still thinks he''s a high schooler!"

    Zhang Xiao also said, "Who would be scared of such threats? What age are we living in, still resorting to violence? In society, what matters is money, status, power."

    Zhang Xiao looked at Xu Muge with deep emotion, "Muge, I''m seriously confessing to you. You know I''ve liked you for many years. All these years, the only person who has ever entered my heart is you."

    "Now, I''m one of Jiangcheng''s top ten outstanding young individuals, and I own apany almost worth a billion. I could be considered a young talent."

    "I also have enough capital to be worthy of you!"

    "Just say yes to my pursuit, and I''ll instantly give you a Porsche."

    After speaking, he took out a car key.

    "This is my brand-new Porsche Cayenne, worth 1.5 million. Just nod, and it''s yours in a minute! I will always wait for you!"

    "Wow¡ª"

    Seeing this scene, everyone present showed looks of envy!

    "The ss president is really devoted!"

    "So envious!"

    "If I were a girl, I''d have fallen for him already, who could resist such a passionate pursuit¡ª"

    "Exactly! The ss president is a rising star with a bright future, not on the same level as this loser! I don''t know where this guy gets the nerve to pick a fight with the ss president!" Continue your adventure with m|v-l''e -NovelBin

    Bai Yueya also nudged Xu Muge and said, "Muge, see how devoted the ss president is to you? Why hang yourself on this guy? He''s not even worth a hair of our ss president!"

    Her tone made no effort to hide her disdain for Qin Jiang.

    However, Qin Jiang just scoffed, "A Porsche Cayenne, you dare to show off with this sort of junk car? Seems like that''s all you''re capable of."

    Zhang Xiao burst intoughter upon hearing this, "What a boast! My car costs 1.5 million on the road, can you afford that? Low-level? If you dare, buy a better car right now and prove me wrong!"

    "If you do it, I''ll kneel and kowtow to you on the spot!"

    "But... if you can''t do it, then get the hell out of Muge''s world! She''s not someone a loser like you deserves; only I am her perfect match!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to waste words, he directly called Shen Longting, "I need a Rolls-Royce and a Hummer delivered to Tianlong Residence."

    Hearing this, everyone present couldn''t help but burst intoughter.

    "Such a big talker!"

    "Tsk tsk, he doesn''t actually think that, as a temporary department manager at Zhao Corporation, he could afford cars like that, does he? And two of them, no less!"

    Several tens of millions in cash are something a mid-sizedpany''s boss might not be able to pull out.

    Let alone a temporary manager like Qin Jiang.

    Does he really consider himself that important?

    Zhang Xiao sneered, "Oh, I thought who was talking so big. Turns out it''s just a temporary department manager from Zhao Corporation. I was so scared."

    "It''s just another wage earner. In front of ordinary people, you might feel somewhat superior, but in front of me, you''re nothing."

    Zhang Xiao said disdainfully, "How much can working earn you? Just a pittance. Zhao Corporation is alright I guess... but I''ve just clinched a partnership with Longting Group, with profits around fifty to sixty million. I wonder how long it will take for the temporary manager from Zhao Corporation to earn that much money?"

    His tone was full of contempt.

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Oh? That''s quite impressive of you."

    "A bit more impressive than you I guess," Zhang Xiao said proudly. "If you really love Muge, you should leave her alone and not prevent her from finding someone better."

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "How do you know you''re better than me? What gives you that confidence? Is it because of your fancy title,bined with your multi-million partnership project?"

    "Exactly!" Zhang Xiao said confidently, "Fifty to sixty million, you say it like it''s nothing. Have you ever seen fifty to sixty million? Can you earn that in ten years? Do you have the capital for that?"

    Zhang Xiao was annoyed by Qin Jiang''s casual demeanor. He was quite proud of his ability to make fifty to sixty million off a single partnership. What was this guy showing off for!

    Qin Jiang said tly, "I don''t know if I can make fifty to sixty million in ten years, but with just one word, I can make your fifty to sixty million turn to smoke."

    "Hahaha¡ª," Zhang Xiaoughed even harder at this, his tears almost falling out.

 Chapter 81: Chapter 81, Raging!

    "Wow, you''re such a big shot! I''m so scared! Come on, let''s be enlightened! I want to see... how you''ll make fifty or sixty million vanish into thin air?"

    "Anyone who doesn''t know better would think you''re the actual chairman of Longting Group!"

    Xu Muge tugged at his hand, "Forget it, don''t bother with him, hold back a bit."

    The words that Qin Jiang spoke were so exaggerated that even she wished she could crawl into a hole from the embarrassment.

    Bai Yueya scornfully said, "All this guy does is shoot his mouth off! Muge, what are you thinking, being with someone like this? Break up with him quick! Such a braggart will only drag you down someday!"

    Qin Jiang''s eyes chilled, "What business is it of yours to babble about our rtionship?"

    "You¡ª" Bai Yueya sneered angrily, "Fine! All the nonsense you''re spouting tonight, if you can deliver on just one thing, I, Bai Yueya, will publicly apologize to you!"

    "What can you, a loser,pare with our ss leader? You even have the audacity to im that with just one sentence you can make the ss leader''s fifty or sixty million deal disappear? Utterly ridiculous!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to argue with her and instead made a direct call to Shen Longting.

    "Check for me, someone named Zhang Xiao, see if he has any dealings with Longting Group."

    "Cancel the cooperation with him."

    "Trying to act all important, I see." Zhang Xiao''s expression became even more disdainful, "Alright then, I''ll wait to see Longting Group notify me to cancel our cooperation, and see if you can actually make a fool out of me!" Enjoy new stories from m-v l''e|-NovelBin

    Xu Muge was so embarrassed she could barely show her face, "Qin Jiang! Please, keep it down..."

    The favor from Shen Longting was already used up, where did he get the clout to boss him around?

    Seeing Muge get angry, Qin Jiang had no choice but to let it go, deciding to ignore the clowns.

    "Come on, let''s drink!" Zhang Xiao called out to everyone, and the crowd eagerly toasted with him, their words dripping with ttery.

    Bai Yueya looked up to him, "Zhang Xiao really is a young achiever. Such sessful people are the better match for you, Muge. Don''t be too lovesick."

    Xu Muge sneered, "Three years ago when my appearance was ruined, he didn''t send me a single message in three years. Now that I post one photo in my circle of friends, he starts to act all affectionate again?"

    Bai Yueya countered, "Regardless, his prospects are much better than some guy who can only brag. Don''t you think I''m right?"

    Qin Jiang, "Can''t you just shut your filthy mouth? Didn''t your mom ever teach you how to be a person?"

    Bai Yueya was fuming because of Qin Jiang, "Typical, the lesspetent someone is, the bigger their temper! Loser!"

    After speaking, she moved to the side and also began to join the group ttering Zhang Xiao.

    Xu Muge watched these former ssmates with a feeling of mncholy.

    She advised Qin Jiang, "Be more careful with your words in situations like this in the future. It''s better to do less than to do more, just ignore them."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "The more you tolerate them, the more they''ll push boundaries. You can''t always just endure."

    How could he tolerate Zhang Xiao''s arrogance, daring to hit on Muge right in front of him,pletely disregarding his presence? As a man, how could he bare such disrespect?

    "Even so, you shouldn''t make such wild ims! Rolls-Royces, Hummers, and the like are worth tens of millions. Can we afford that? And you said a single sentence from you wouldpletely shut down Zhang Xiao''s contract!"

    "Don''t you think your words are a bit too exaggerated?"

    Again, Qin Jiang spoke with calm confidence, "If I dare to say it, then naturally I will do it."

    Xu Muge sighed, "Whatever you say, in the end, if it goes wrong, I''ll just be embarrassed with you. If it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t havee here to be ridiculed."

    Qin Jiang replied coolly, "Don''t worry, they won''t beughing for long."

    Xu Muge was somewhat speechless, "You''re getting more and more absurd¡­"

    Zhang Xiao suddenly gave a secret sign; since Xu Muge was being so difficult, he decided to let her clearly see who was the boss of this scene!

    Following his cue, a male ssmate stepped forward with a ss in his hand, "Muge! Come on, do a shot! It''s just a ss of red wine, you gotta give that much face, right?"

    Xu Muge frowned, "I can''t drink."

    "Oh, the fallen rich girl is quite proud. Do you really think you''re still the daughter of the Xu Family?" a female ssmate suddenly sniped with sarcasm.

    She had long been annoyed by Xu Muge, thinking she''s still the same person she was before?

    She stepped forward with a ss of wine in her hand, "I''ll toast to you too! What now? Will you give that much face or not?"

    Xu Muge coldly responded, "No! What are you worth? You were a clown before me in the past, and you still are now."

    Facing these continuous provocations, Xu Muge was starting to get annoyed too.

    "Giving you face and you don''t want it!"

    Wang Yuan was furious. This woman had fallen so low and yet dared to be so pretentious?

    In a fit of anger, she attempted to pour her ss of red wine over Xu Muge''s head!

    Qin Jiang immediately stood up, and before the wine in her ss could spill, he grabbed her wrist and poured the ss of red wine on her head instead!

    "Ssh¡ª" Wang Yuan was drenched in a shower of wine, looking utterly disgraced.

    This out-of-control moment left everyone at the scene dumbfounded!

    "It seems you really like to drink? Then today, I''ll treat you to your fill," Qin Jiang said, holding back his anger. He grabbed a bottle of red wine, sped Wang Yuan''s mouth firmly, forced her mouth open with a push, and squeezed her cheeks to make her drink!

 Chapter 82 Crazy!

    "Stop it!"

    Zhang Xiao bellowed as he strode forward, "It was just a joke, what are you freaking out about! How can a brute like you protect Muge? You''re only going to bring trouble to her!"

    Qin Jiang''s gaze shifted towards him, his tone icy, "Just now, it was you who signaled for them toe and show their power, wasn''t it?"

    Zhang Xiao indifferently said, "It''s normal for ssmates toe over and offer a toast."

    "Oh, in that case, I''ll make sure you all drink your fill." Qin Jiang forcefully shoved the wine bottle into Wang Yuan''s mouth, choking her into a fit of violent coughing, she felt like she was suffocating!

    "Cough cough cough¡ª" Wang Yuan coughed violently as if all her internal organs were about to burst out.

    Zhang Xiao''s face turned utterly dark.

    Bai Yueya hurried over to calm things down, "Enough, enough, ss president, you really shouldn''t stoop to his level. Qin Jiang, aren''t you going to apologize right now?"

    "Apologize to your mother!" Qin Jiang snapped back coldly, "Didn''t you see her trying to strike Muge just now? Is this the kind of right and wrong you defend as her good friend?"

    "I..." Bai Yueya was left speechless. What good friend? She was nothing but a wingman invited by Zhang Xiao, and she hadn''t expected Xu Muge not to y along.

    Now, she was also embarrassed.

    Angered and ashamed, she snapped, "Muge, control your boyfriend. He''s totally out of line!"

    Xu Muge stood up, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Yueya, I came for your sake. I didn''t expect even you to be like this."

    Bai Yueya quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "We''re all ssmates; there''s no need for things to get this stiff, right, Muge? Do me a favor."

    Xu Muge felt annoyed but said indifferently, "Qin Jiang, let it go."

    Only then did Qin Jiang release Wang Yuan.

    Bai Yueya hastily tried to defuse the situation, "Let''s not dwell on that, it was just a small incident. This ss is from me to everyone. I''ll finish mine; you all do as you please."

    After saying that, she downed the red wine in her ss.

    "I need to use the restroom."

    With that, she immediately headed out.

    Wang Yuan nced resentfully at Xu Muge and Qin Jiang. Seeing that Zhang Xiao had no intention of standing up for her, she had no choice but to suppress her thoughts.

    Zhang Xiao said, "Forget it, Muge, have a drink to show respect to everyone, and let''s put this behind us."

    Xu Muge reluctantly picked up the wine ss.

    She didn''t want Qin Jiang to escte the situation either; it would be awkward for everyone.

    A few minutester, Bai Yueya came back, clearly annoyed, "I can''t believe it, even a high-end restaurant like this has creeps! Some drunk guy just tried to grope my butt, and I pped him hard several times and gave him a crippling kick to the groin!"

    She said disdainfully, "That guy even said he''d take revenge on me, what a joke."

    "ss president, you''ll protect me, won''t you?"

    "Hahaha¡ª" Zhang Xiao said with a calm face, "Don''t worry, I definitely will."

    "Besides, with so many male ssmates here, are we afraid of one creep?"

    The male ssmates nodded in agreement.

    "That''s right! If he dares toe here, we guys will punch him out one by one!"

    "Exactly!"

    "We don''t want to be like some people, only bullying and fighting among ourselves!"

    A group of them ridiculed Qin Jiang with sarcastic tones.

    Each of them stood tall and spoke boldly, showing off their masculinity.

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered with them.

    Xu Muge was really annoyed, "Forget it, Qin Jiang, let''s go!"

    This banquet was pointless.

    After saying that, she grabbed Qin Jiang''s hand and was about to leave.

    But, just at that moment...

    Bang!!

    The private room door was kicked open!

    Several men with aggressive demeanors walked in.

    "Damn it, which woman kicked me just now? Stand up!"

    Several men entered, led by a young man with a pained face and fierce eyes.

    "What are you guys doing!" Wang Ping suddenly mmed the table, "Do you see all these people here? Do you dare to cause trouble in..."

    Continue reading at m|v-l''e -NovelBin

    "Smack!" Before he finished speaking, the young man had already kicked him flying out of the room!

    "You dare to hit someone from Dragon Gate on our turf, you''re the first. Looks like you''re the ones asking for death!"

    Dragon Gate?

    Hearing these words, everyone''s faces changed dramatically!

    The male students who had been full of bravado just moments ago were now silent, bending over, bowing their heads, their previous conversation as pointless as farting.

    Dragon Gate, was it something they could afford to provoke?

    Bai Yueya''s face turned deathly pale!

    She had not expected that she had unwittingly caused such a big disaster...

    "Get out here!"

    Jin Dazhuang barked coldly, pointing at Bai Yueya, "For kicking me, I''ll use you today to test whether my weapon can still be used or not!"

    Jin Dazhuang waved his hand, "Take her out for me!"

    Several men immediately surrounded her.

    "ss president, save me..." Bai Yueya pleaded, looking desperately towards Zhang Xiao.

    Zhang Xiao stood up slowly and said, "Gentlemen, my name is Zhang Xiao, one of the top ten outstanding youths of the city, with certain coborations with various majorpanies, and I have a bit of a reputation. I hope you all give me a..."

    Without letting him finish, Jin Dazhuang smashed a wine bottle on his head!

    "Bang!"

    Zhang Xiao''s head instantly burst open and blood flowed.

    "Who do you think you are, scaring me to death, and still calling yourself one of the top ten youths of the city, hahaha! Damn it, you''re not worthy to ask Dragon Gate for face?"

    With one kick, Jin Dazhuang sent Zhang Xiao sprawling, almost vomiting upst night''s dinner, and he was kicked right into the corner of the wall.

    Qin Jiang remained as impassive as still water, unconcerned with the woman''s life or death.

    Bai Yueya, terrified, hid behind Xu Muge, "Muge, I''m scared..."

    Xu Muge could only stiffen her neck and say, "Everyone, I apologize here, hoping you''ll forgive my friend''s ignorance..."

    Seeing Xu Muge, Jin Dazhuang''s eyes shone even brighter, "Oh! This one''s even prettier! It seems today I can kill two birds with one stone!"

    "All the men, get lost! As for the women... stay behind! I''ll take these two myself! The rest of you, I''ll give to you to enjoy a feast..."

    At these words, several men all showed looks of delight, "Thank you, Young Master Jin!"

    Jin Dazhuang stepped toward Xu Muge.

    Bai Yueya said in fear, "I... I''m just average-looking, please let me go! She''s pretty! Just take her, and let me go..."

    Xu Muge was stunned, "Yueya, you..."

    Bai Yueya''s words left her feelingpletely cold inside!

    "Muge, you''re my good sister, what''s wrong with resolving this for me? Besides, he''s taken a fancy to you now, just sacrifice yourself a bit!"

    Hearing this, Xu Muge nearly died of anger!

    Jin Dazhuang said with a sleazy face, "Beauty, are youing with me on your own, or should I take you? We rough guys, we don''t know how to treatdies tenderly, you know!"

    Just then, Qin Jiang put down the cup in his hand and lifted his gaze!

    "Bang!"

    He kicked out, and Jin Dazhuang was sent flying on the spot, mming into the wall!

    "Get lost, all of you!"

    "Seeking death!" Seeing Jin Dazhuang hit, the other few men immediately rushed up tounch an attack on Qin Jiang.

    Everybody turned deathly pale¡ªhad this guy gone mad? Knowing who he was dealing with, did he still dare to strike these people? Offending Dragon Gate, wasn''t that seeking death?

    Qin Jiang dispatched one with each punch, and in less than three seconds, all those guys were down on the ground!

    Cries of pain filled the air.

    The whole ce turned dead silent; they couldn''t believe what they were seeing as they stared at Qin Jiang, this guy, could he really fight like this?

    Jin Dazhuang roared, "Are you fucking courting death? Do you know who I am? I am the son of the Golden Python Dragon! One of the three top brass of Dragon Gate, the son of the Golden Python Dragon!"

    "My dad''s right here, you''re fucking dead today!"

    Those words cast a pall of death over the faces of Zhang Xiao and the others...

    The top brass of Dragon Gate!

    Were they figures that they could provoke?

    This time, Qin Jiang was definitely done for.

    However, Qin Jiang walked straight up and stepped on his head, "Golden Python Dragon''s here? Just as well, he has five minutes to roll over and collect his people! Otherwise, he can collect his son''s corpse!"

    "Hiss!"

    Everybody felt a tingling on their scalp!

    Had this guy gone mad?

 Chapter 83 Arent You Just a Loser?

    The three Diamond Kings of Dragon Gate are core figures within Dragon Gate. How could this guy be so arrogant?

    Isn''t he afraid of being torn apart by the other party?

    Jin Dazhuang burst into an enragedughter, "Good! Good! Good! Kid, you just wait!"

    "Go get my dad here!"

    He bellowed furiously.

    Ackey scrambled outwards, tripping and crawling.

    The private room exploded into chaos!

    "Qin Jiang, have you gone mad? If you want to die, don''t drag us down with you!"

    "Now, you''ve gotten us all killed..."

    "Young Master Jin, this was all their own idea, it has nothing to do with us! Please don''t take your anger out on us!"

    Everyone hurriedly disassociated themselves from Qin Jiang and the other person.

    After all, Dragon Gate was not to be trifled with.

    Bai Yueya even shouted, "Xu Muge, look at the trouble this guy has caused, now you''ve brought disaster upon us, you better solve this mess yourself!"

    "I''m not ying with you anymore..."

    Faced with real interests, she revealed her true, ugly self.

    Xu Muge had already seen through her true face and said indifferently, "Don''t worry, we will take care of it."

    The Golden Python Dragon, she knew him, in front of Qin Jiang he was just like a little bug.

    Nothing to be afraid of.

    On the contrary, it was Bai Yueya, her so-called good sister, who hadpletely broken her heart!

    It was clearly her who had caused the trouble, yet now she wanted to wash her hands of the whole affair.

    Let her and Qin Jiang bear the brunt of the other party''s wrath?

    Zhang Xiao sneered, "Solve it? I''d like to see what this smelly loser can do to solve anything! Do you think Dragon Gate is that easy to talk to? Qin Jiang, just wait for your death!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered with him.

    Ling Yang didn''t dare to make a sound either. Although Qin Jiang was with Zhao Corporation, a small department manager meant nothing in the eyes of Dragon Gate.

    In no time at all, a middle-aged man hurried in with a group of people!

    "Who dares to touch my son on Tianlong Residence''s turf? Come out!"

    A thunderous bellow resonated throughout the private room like a p of thunder!

    Then, the Golden Python Dragon burst in with a group of people, their presence filling the room with a murderous aura.

    Everyone trembled with fear.

    Zhang Xiao immediately stood up, pointing at Qin Jiang, "It''s him who hit your son!"

    His face was lit up with schadenfreude.

    This time, wouldn''t Qin Jiang be done for?

    He seemed to have already seen the scene of Qin Jiang being beaten to a pulp and dragged out! As for how Xu Muge was dealt with, he couldn''t care less, his own survival was paramount.

    Disassociating himself at the first opportunity was the right choice.

    "Dad! Save me! It''s this guy, he even dared to say you''d have to collect my corpse! Such audacity, you can''t let him off just like that!"

    "Looking for death!" Upon hearing this, the Golden Python Dragon immediately boiled with murderous intent, directing his gaze at Qin Jiang; the next moment, his legs went weak!

    "Thump¡ª"

    Without hesitating, he slipped and fell to his knees in front of Qin Jiang!

    "Lord Qin..."

    His voice was trembling, and cold sweat poured out.

    This scene stunned everyone in the room, their faces filled with disbelief.

    What''s going on here!!

    ```

    Has the Golden Python Dragon gone mad? Kneeling before Qin Jiang?

    Qin Jiang, stepping on Jin Dazhuang, said indifferently, "Golden Python Dragon, your son is quite arrogant! He even said he''d call you to kill me. How do you n to kill me?"

    The Golden Python Dragon''s lips turned purple as he said, "My foolish son has no idea of the gravity of his words. I...I am here to apologize to you on his behalf!"

    "Is an apology useful?" Qin Jiang asked coldly. "I am very upset right now."

    Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the Golden Python Dragon hastily said, "Lord Qin, I will give you a satisfactory exnation right away."

    With that, under the shocked and astonished gazes of everyone, he directly picked up a stool and smashed it over Jin Dazhuang''s body! Jin Dazhuang screamed continuously, his head bleeding and one of his legs broken, pain knocking him out on the spot¡­

    "Lord Qin, is your anger appeased now?" the Golden Python Dragon asked with a face full of eagerness to please.

    The scene unfolding before everyonepletely overturned their worldviews!

    This was a major figure, second only to the Dragon Gate Sect Master. How could he be as frightened as a dog in front of Qin Jiang?

    "Get out of here¡ª" Qin Jiang, seeing that this guy was somewhatpliant, coldly spat out a few words.

    Read new chapters at m_v-l''e|-NovelBin

    "Yes, yes, yes! I''ll get out immediately!" The Golden Python Dragon, as if granted amnesty, waved and left with his entourage.

    There was immediate silence on the scene.

    They were still unable to react! Why was the Golden Python Dragon so terrified of Qin Jiang, this nobody?

    Had he lost his mind?

    Bai Yueya was also stunned. No wonder this guy was so calm; he knew the Golden Python Dragon?

    Everyone''s gaze towards Qin Jiang changed.

    It took more than ten seconds before Zhang Xiao finally snorted coldly, "I didn''t realize you had some skills, but don''t think you''re impressive just because you know a few hoodlums."

    He looked disdainful, "Although the Golden Python Dragon is from Dragon Gate, he''s ultimately not a prominent figure. To do well, you need a strong foundation of your own. Without money, knowing more gangsters is useless."

    Listening to this, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.

    Even if Qin Jiang knew the Golden Python Dragon, could he bring him any benefits? Could it be mized?

    Someone like Zhang Xiao, who thrived in the business world like a dragon in water, was a truly sessful person!

    Aren''t you just a nobody in shabby clothes?

    Qin Jiang sneered, "It''s still better than some people who trembled in fear at the sight of a few hoodlums, to the point they almost pissed themselves, remember?"

    "You¡ª" Touched on a sore point, Zhang Xiao clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill Qin Jiang!

    Bai Yueya snorted, "Qin Jiang, stop showing off. So what if you know the Golden Python Dragon? It still doesn''t change the fact that you''re a nobody! If you''re so impressive, do you have tens of millions in assets?"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to argue with this brainless woman. If he wanted, he could easily withdraw billions of funds from the Longting Group, so what was there to brag about a mere tens of millions?

    Xu Muge said coldly, "Qin Jiang, let''s go."

    This ss reunion had lost its appeal, and she had no interest in staying any longer.

    Initially, she hade for Bai Yueya''s sake, but she had not expected Bai Yueya to be this kind of person.

    She might as well admit she had been blind before.

    After saying that, she took Qin Jiang''s hand to leave.

    Zhang Xiao smirked, "Muge, why the rush to leave? We haven''t yet seen the Rolls-Royce and Hummer you brought over, let us country bumpkins broaden our horizons, shall we?"

    He sneered as he looked at Qin Jiang, "Qin Jiang, my request isn''t too much, is it?"

    Xu Muge''s pretty face became slightly stiff.

    After all, Qin Jiang had just boasted in front of everyone. Now, with Zhang Xiao''s words, it was clear he was deliberately trying to embarrass Qin Jiang.

    The others also showed an amused expression.

    They wanted to see how Qin Jiang would get out of the boast he had made!

    Just then¡­

    Bang, bang, bang!

    Knocking on the door drew their attention, and a middle-aged man appeared at the doorway.

    Seeing the neer, Zhang Xiao''s eyes flickered, "Is this... Mr. Shen''s secretary?"

    He was thrilled and immediately stood up from his seat! Could it be that he was delivering the partnership contract to him?

    ```

 Chapter 84 Canceling Cooperation!

    "Secretary Liu!"

    He scurried forward to greet Secretary Liu.

    "Who are you?" Secretary Liu merely gave him a dismissive nce before looking away.

    After all, as Shen Longting''s secretary, too many people wanted to curry favor with him.

    This kind of person, he generally ignored.

    Otherwise, he simply couldn''t cope with them all.

    "Secretary Liu, I am Zhang Xiao, one of Jiangcheng''s Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons, and I''ve just closed a deal worth fifty million with your Longting Group. You must be looking for me, right?"

    "Oh, it''s you."

    Secretary Liu said indifferently, "I''ll talk to you about your matterter. For now, please step aside and don''t block the way."

    Secretary Liu''s dismissive words made Zhang Xiao''s face turn ashen with humiliation, but he could only move aside with a sycophantic smile on his face.

    Not here for him?

    Then who was Secretary Liu here for?

    Secretary Liu immediately spotted Qin Jiang in the private room and hurriedly approached, "Mr. Qin!"

    He bowed at a ny-degree angle.

    His attitude was extremely respectful!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    At this scene, everyone present felt a shiver down their spine, looking on in astonishment.

    What was going on here?

    You have to understand that secretaries are often the confidants of the bigwigs, and their actions represent their bosses. And Secretary Liu was Shen Longting''s secretary! Yet he showed such reverence to Qin Jiang?

    They held their breath in anticipation.

    This...

    Then, Secretary Liu presented the items in his hand with great respect, "Mr. Qin, these are the purchase vouchers and transfer certificates Mr. Shen asked me to deliver."

    "The newest Rolls-Royce of this year, and a high-end version Hummer."

    "The total value, twenty-five million."

    "Please have a look, Mr. Qin."

    After that, he took out the keys and handed them to Qin Jiang.

    "Whew¡ª"

    Your journey continues at m v|l-e''-NovelBin

    For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence! Their breathing became rapid!

    Two super luxury cars?

    This, this!

    Is this for real?

    The deal was worth over twenty million!

    Qin Jiang epted these items and smiled, "Good, I won''t be shy about epting this."

    Secretary Liu said, "We''ve already paid in full, Mr. Qin. You can use them with peace of mind."

    Not to mention the others, even Xu Muge was shocked by the scene before her eyes!

    What exactly was Qin Jiang''s rtionship with Longting Group?

    Why would they suddenly present such valuable gifts?

    Zhang Xiao''s face looked as if it had been pped hard, grinding his teeth in hatred!

    Today, all the attention had been stolen by this guy.

    The host of the banquet, he had no presence at all, but instead made aplete fool of himself!

    This made him extremely, extremely unhappy!

    Soon, Secretary Liu turned around and said indifferently to Zhang Xiao, "Zhang Xiao, right? It''s time to deal with our matter. The chairman instructed me personally to take care of your issue."

    Upon hearing this, the disheartened Zhang Xiao suddenly perked up, overwhelmed with excitement!

    "To receive Mr. Shen''s attention is an honor beyond my wildest dreams!" he said excitedly.

    Upon hearing that it was something personally instructed by Shen Longting, everyone present showed envy.

    After all, not many could attract the attention of the wealthiest!

    Zhang Xiao was decidedly a winner in life.

    Zhang Xiao, feeling the shift in their gazes, puffed up with pride once more.

    He felt extremely pleased with himself.

    Though he hadn''t made a big ssh today, at least he had salvaged some face.

    However, Secretary Liu''s next words plunged him straight into hell!

    "Mr. Shen has personally instructed to cancel the cooperation with you. We''ve already torn up the contract, and the one million in damages will bepensated to you."

    "What?!" Hearing this, Zhang Xiao nearly copsed on the spot.

    "Secretary Liu, you must be joking with me, right?"

    He forcibly put on a smile.

    Secretary Liu coldly stated, "No joke. Next time, before you offend someone, make sure to open your eyes wide. Mr. Qin is not someone you can afford to offend!"

    After finishing, Secretary Liu left the ce without looking back.

    Zhang Xiao''s head buzzed.

    He slumped down onto a chair!

    The rest were also dumbfounded, some looking sympathetically at Zhang Xiao. Millions worth of business gone just like that! All because of a few words that offended Qin Jiang!

    Their gazes towards Qin Jiang were filled with fear.

    Originally, they thought Qin Jiang was just a temporary manager at Zhao Corporation, without any real power.

    But to think that his rtionship with Longting Group was so deep that a single word from him could make Shen Longting issue a direct order to cancel Zhang Xiao''s cooperation!

    Such a level of influence?

    Qin Jiang, taking Xu Muge with him, paid no attention to the shocked looks of those around him, and said, "Let''s go."

    Upon hearing that, Bai Yueya hurriedly followed, adopting a servile attitude and pleading, "Muge, Muge, I was too harsh with my words just now. You know how it is between us good sisters, we always..."

    "Get lost!" Xu Muge had no intention of dealing with her any longer.

    This woman, she had seen right through her.

    Such a person wasn''t worthy of being her friend.

    Deviously kicking someone when they''re down, continuing the association would eventually lead to being betrayed by her.

    Qin Jiang took Xu Muge and left.

    However...

    Zhang Xiao quickly stepped forward and fell to his knees before him, pleading desperately, "Qin Jiang! I beg you... say a few good words for me to Mr. Shen, let me off! I really need this order!"

 Chapter 85 Showing Off With a Broken Car?

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang let out a coldugh, "You reap what you sow, you cannot live! Besides, I''m just a loser, how could I possibly have the means to influence Mr. Shen''s thoughts."

    After he spoke, he directly left with Xu Muge, leaving behind Zhang Xiao and others with faces full of remorse!

    All those ssmates were so envious they could have pped their chests in frustration. Now they were green with regret for previously being short-sighted and weak-kneed, always trying to cozy up to Zhang Xiao and mocking Qin Jiang and his partner.

    They never expected that Qin Jiang and Xu Muge were the real power yers!

    If only they had been nicer to Xu Muge, maybe the situation would be different now, right?

    Qin Jiang walked out with Xu Muge.

    Xu Muge felt a torrent ofplex emotions and asked, "Qin Jiang, just how many things are you still hiding from me? What exactly is your rtionship with Longting Group!"

    Howe Qin Jiang had be so formidable overnight after getting out of jail?

    Qin Jiang gave a faint smile, "I will tell you everything in due time. No matter what, remember one thing, I will never hurt you! I will always be on your side! Always support you! Whatever you want to do, just go for it boldly!"

    Xu Muge nodded her head. She suspected that Qin Jiang had taken advantage of the goodwill her father had umted back in the day. She didn''t say it out loud though, otherwise how could she exin the connection with Shen Longting?

    Meanwhile, outside the Tianlong Residence, a sizeable crowd gathered, curiously observing two brand new, shy Rolls-Royces and Hummers!

    They looked on with ineffable envy.

    "Who owns these cars? They''re so luxurious! There aren''t many people in Jiangcheng who can afford such cars!"

    "These are the kinds of assets that only the super-rich families have!"

    After all, ordinary families wouldn''t spend tens of millions on a car.

    Many second and third-tier families, despite sounding impressive, actually didn''t have that much cash on hand. Spending ten million on a car seemed even more absurd for them.

    "Darling, these two cars are so cool!"

    Among the crowd, Xu Huanhuan and her brother had just finished their meal and wereing out, with Xu Huanhuan linked arm in arm with a man.

    The young man was dressed in a suit and expensive brands, looking extraordinary.

    He smiled lightly, "The Porsche I got for you today isn''t bad either! As for these kinds of luxury cars, let''s talk about them in the future when I have more funds avable."

    "The money from the family has its uses."

    Xu Huanhuanughed, "Okay, okay, I know. I''m already very content with the Porsche you''ve given me. Oh right, you need to help me get back at Zhao Corporation for the grievance I suffered today! I want them to know how miserable it is to offend me!!"

    Wei Zijing smiled faintly, "Don''t worry, they''re just two insignificant people. With just a flick of my wrist, I could ruin thempletely!"

    As they were talking, Qin Jiang also walked out of Tianlong Residence with Xu Muge.

    Upon seeing Xu Huanhuan and her brother, his eyebrows furrowed instantly. Howe these two were like lingering spirits, never going away?

    "Yo! Look who we have here, you weaklings also dine at such upscale ces? Where did you get the money? Xu Muge, your monthly sry is only twenty to thirty thousand, can you afford a meal here?"

    As soon as Xu Huanhuan saw Xu Muge, sheughed angrily, "Don''t tell me you''ve stolenpany funds to splurge here! When we get back, we''re going to have to check the ounts!"

    "None of your business!" Xu Muge snapped back directly, "Just take care of yourself."

    Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Don''t get cocky just yet. Don''t think you can sit tight in that position just because you''ve secured the deal with Zhao Corporation. With my boyfriend''s backing, it''s still uncertain who the winner will be! Why are you acting so arrogant?"

    "My boyfriend is from Jinling City, with family assets worth several billion."

    "With his support, the Xu Family is sure to soar to great heights. A small contract with the Zhao Corporation is nothingpared to billions in assets."

    "It''s obvious what Grandfather will choose."

    Xu Muge said indifferently, "We shall see."

    When Wei Zijing saw Xu Muge, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled, "You must be Huanhuan''s cousin, hello there. I am Wei Zijing, the heir of Jinling''s Wei Family."

    Xu Muge couldn''t be bothered with him. The tant heat in his eyes when he saw her made her feel sick.

    Xu Huanhuan was annoyed too, "Zijing! Why are you greeting her?"

    Wei Zijing just smiled lightly, but he thought to himself, she doesn''t have any clue, does she? I''m just toying with her, and she''s getting all full of herself?

    When ites to beauty and temperament, Xu Huanhuan wasn''t even on the same level as Xu Muge!

    Now, he found Xu Muge far more intriguing.

    Xu Huanhuan, with a look of contempt, said, "Xu Muge, I mean, youe here to show off and eat, but did you take a taxi? Trying to make a grand appearance on a pauper''s budget, aren''t you ashamed?!"

    Xu Muge responded nonchntly, "I have a car, so save your worries."

    "Hahaha¡ª" This statement made Xu Zilong and his sister burst intoughter.

    "So proud yet so pathetic! Tell me, your family is so poor they can hardly make ends meet, where did you get the money for a car? Your bragging knows no bounds! Even if you had one, it''d probably be some second-hand junk worth ten or twenty thousand, right?"

    "After all, Qin Jiang the loser couldn''t possibly afford to give you anything decent."

    "Unlike my boyfriend, who just today got me a Porsche worth over two million because I was upset¡ªfully loaded! How about that, are you jealous?"

    Xu Muge proudly swung the car keys she held in her hand.

    Wei Zijing puffed out his chest, straightened his clothes, and deliberately showed off the watch on his wrist. He started talking in a conceited manner, "It''s just a little money. I always enjoy spending on my women, especially beautiful ones."

    As he said this, his gaze, mocking and flirtatious, fell on Xu Muge, and then he nced at Qin Jiang.

    "And this brother, why do you look so shabby? You haven''t even removed the tag from your suit¡ªcould it be rented? No wonder it looks so new!"

    "With your status, how do you evenpete with Huanhuan? Miss Xu, am I right?"

    Qin Jiang looked disdainful, "Boasting about a two-million-piece of junk? What a joke! Is this the illustrious young master from Jinling City?"

    This understated mockery made Wei Zijing and the Xu siblings'' expressions turn utterly somber!

 Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Jinling Chu Family Visitors!

    Xu Muge chimed in, "That''s probably all they''re capable of."

    Wei Zijing responded coolly, "You sure talk big! I heard you''re now the acting general manager of Xu Group, earning just over twenty thousand a month, right?"

    "Even if you didn''t eat or drink, it''d take ten years to afford this car. I don''t know where you get the courage to make such shameless boasts! It''s quiteughable!"

    Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Dear, don''t bother with her, she''s probably just jealous. After all, my boyfriend is so capable, and hers is so pathetic. It''s natural for her to be envious of us whenpared."

    Hearing this, Xu Zijing''s vanity was greatly satisfied. He nodded and added, "You have a point, outstanding sess does attract envy."

    "Brother, looking at you, I''m afraid you can''t even afford a broken car, right? Oh yes, I''ve got a few junk cars at home, want me to give you one to drive around?"

    "After all, such a beautiful woman as Miss Xu having to take public transportation is too much of a pity. If you''re not capable, don''t hold others back. At least try to be like me and buy a Porsche for your girlfriend, right? What''s the point of dating without money?"

    Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Exactly! When choosing a man, you have to pick someonepetent! You don''t have to buy a luxury car like a Rolls-Royce or Hummer, but at least a Mercedes or Porsche is necessary, isn''t it?"

    Qin Jiang, expressionless, pressed the key in his hand!

    "Beep beep beep!!"

    Suddenly, the lights of the Rolls-Royce turned on.

    The car door slowly opened¡­...

    The whole audience was shocked!

    Xu Huanhuan and the others, their faces suddenly stiffened!

    Qin Jiang calmly countered, "Are you talking about my Rolls-Royce? Compared to your Porsche, it''s indeed not in the same league."

    The faint sound of his voice made the faces of the few people present turn red!

    "This Rolls-Royce, it''s yours?" Wei Zijing''s face was filled with disbelief. In front of this super luxury car, five Porsches were nothing to look at!

    They weren''t even in the same league.

    "If it isn''t mine, you think it''s yours?" Qin Jiang''s retort made Wei Zijing''s face as ugly as if he had eaten shit, extremely livid.

    Angrily stifled, he was unable to retort.

    Xu Huanhuan huffed, "Pretend! Just keep pretending, I don''t believe that car is yours!"

    "Whether you believe it or not, what''s that to me?" Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered to argue further, "Scram!"

    With his face livid, Wei Zijing let out a sneer of disdain, "Just as I thought, a country bumpkin who''s never seen the world. Getting a luxury car has you too full of yourself. Who can''t afford a Rolls-Royce nowadays? If I wanted, I could buy one in a minute!"

    "And besides, the owner of this Hummer next to us hasn''t even spoken yet, and here you are, so keen to show off, unting your presence here. Isn''t that shameful?"

    "Sorry, this Hummer is mine too," Qin Jiang pressed another key in his hand, and the doors of the Hummer immediately opened¡­...

    In an instant, everyone''s eyes bulged!!

    Wei Zijing''s face was once again fiercely pped, burning with humiliation.

    Xu Huanhuan and Xu Zilong werepletely shocked by the scene before them!

    Both of these super luxury cars belonged to Qin Jiang?

    They couldn''t believe it even if they were beaten to death!

    Qin Jiang smiled slightly at Muge, "Muge, try out the new car I bought for you."

    After saying that, he handed the keys to Xu Muge.

    Xu Muge nced at Xu Huanhuan, tilted her head, and spoke with sarcasm, "Your Porsche is quite nice. Add a few million more, and it mightpare to my car. Keep it up."

    Having said this, she got into the car, and Qin Jiang stepped into the Hummer and started the engine.

    The roar of the engines rolled on as the two of them drove away!

    Xu Huanhuan and her brother Xu Zilong stood there with Wei Zijing, dumbstruck.

    People around them could not help but sneer. These guys wanted to show off in front of others, but instead, they got their faces fiercely pped, now looking just like clowns!

    The sparse sneering sounds, along with those mocking nces, made them wish they could find a hole to crawl into, leaving the ce inplete embarrassment.

    The more Xu Huanhuan thought about it, the more something seemed off.

    "No, it''s not right, they definitely can''t afford these kinds of luxury cars, they must be renting them to show off!"

    Xu Zilong chimed in repeatedly, "I also think this guy must have rented them. If Qin Jiang really had the ability, Xu Muge would already be riding high over us!"

    Wei Zijing nodded, "Exactly, that guy doesn''t look like a rich person to me. Forget about them, I need to get the auction matter settled first."

    "The family''s been pushing hard for it."

    This time, the Tianyuan Auction House was holding a very high-end auction, with the cheapest items starting at ten million, and admission required wealth verification, also starting at ten million.

    Who knows how many treasures will be auctioned off?

    This time Wei Zijing came here, he too was on a mission from his family.

    Meanwhile, in Jiangcheng, outside the airport.

    A lithe figure stood outside the airport, gazing ahead.

    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡ª¡ª"

    A private jet descended from the sky andnded in front of her.

    Luo Shifei''s face showed excitement!

    It''s finally here...

    The door of the private jet opened.

    Suppressing her excitement, Luo Shifei approached it.

    From the ne, a young woman with a pretty face, willow brows, phoenix eyes, thin lips, exuding a feeling of being harsh and arrogant, descended.

    "Miss Xia Zhu!"

    Luo Shifei stepped forward, bowing deeply at ny degrees.

    Xia Zhu, with an air of superiority and a disdainful look, said coldly, "So you''re the woman Mr. Chu mentioned, the one who''s supposed to meet me here?"

 Chapter 87: Chapter 87 The Auction Begins!

    "Yes!"

    Luo Shifei''s tone was exceptionally respectful, fearing that even a slightck of respect might provoke dissatisfaction from the other party, after all, she was a highly favored individual by Mr. Chu''s side.

    One of the four major personal maidservants, Xia Zhu.

    Her status was extremely noble!

    Outside, their words represented the will of Chu Tianjiao.

    Xia Zhu looked down haughtily at the woman before her.

    "I heard that the woman who defied Mr. Chu three years ago has now recovered her looks?"

    "That''s right." Luo Shifei immediately perked up, eagerly saying, "Moreover, even that person whom Mr. Chu ordered not to be released at will, is now out of prison."

    A trace of ferocity appeared in Xia Zhu''s eyes, "Insects! They actually dare to oppose Mr. Chu! It seems that the lesson they were given three years ago was not enough!"

    Luo Shifei was somewhat excited inside, secretly delighted, "When does Miss Xia Zhu n to teach these two ignorant fools a lesson?"

    For a supreme figure like Chu Tianjiao, having his will defied was an utter humiliation.

    Therefore, when he wanted to take Xu Muge as his ve and was refused, he was furious with embarrassment and disfigured Xu Muge.

    Xia Zhu, as his spokesperson outside, was always treated with high regard and pampered, naturally carrying an air of arrogance, acting domineeringly and recklessly, without any reservations!

    It was tough luck for Xu Muge and Qin Jiang to cross paths with such a person.

    She seemed to have already seen the scene of the two of them begging for mercy...

    Her heart was filled with excitement!

    However... Xia Zhu nced at her coldly and suddenly pped her across the face!

    Five bright red palm prints appeared on Luo Shifei''s face.

    "Are you teaching me how to handle affairs?" Xia Zhu said coldly, "Understand your ce!"

    "Thud!"

    Seeing Xia Zhu''s anger, Luo Shifei immediately knelt down, trembling, "Yes, Miss Xia Zhu..."

    "Good." Xia Zhu nodded in satisfaction, "That''s the attitude you should have."

    She enjoyed this feeling. Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelBin

    Although she was just a servant by Mr. Chu''s side, she still had considerable status outside, above those lowly people who could only look up to her.

    This gave her great satisfaction.

    Xia Zhu spoke coldly, "Get up. I will handle those two when the timees. It''s not your ce to give orders here. Now, I need to prepare for the auction."

    "The auction?" Luo Shifei was startled, then she suddenly remembered that Tianyuan Auction House would be holding a grand auction in Jiangcheng.

    It was said that the items to be auctioned were rare treasures.

    The auction had very high standards, even the entry verification of wealth starting at fifty million.

    Luo Shifei hadn''t expected that Xia Zhu''s visit this time was also for the auction.

    "Miss Xia Zhu, if there''s anything you need, justmand me!" Luo Shifei said with a fawning face.

    "Good!" Xia Zhu nodded, taking it for granted.

    Even as a mere maid of Mr. Chu, her status was far beyond that of a woman from such a small ce. She always looked down on women like Luo Shifei.

    Xia Zhu walked ahead with her hands behind her back.

    Luo Shifei followed with an awkward face, though she smiled obsequiously, in her heart she also held disdain, just a mere maid, serving Chu Tianjiao as a ve, putting on airs?

    She was upset inside, but dared not say it out loud.

    Xia Zhu had a serious expression. This time, what Mr. Chu wanted was very important, he had reminded her thousands of times to not make any mistakes, otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.

    So, she dared not make any mistakes.

    The significance Mr. Chu ced on the item could only imply how important it truly was.

    Xia Zhu said coldly, "While I''m here, you listen well to me, understand?"

    "Yes!" Even though she was extremely upset inside, Luo Shifei didn''t dare utter a word of protest.

    This woman, really treating her like a maid?

    But what could she do, given that the other was Mr. Chu''s personal maid? She might even have climbed into Mr. Chu''s bed.

    Just the name Chu Tianjiao was enough to oppress her, how could she dare to resist?

    "Let''s go!" Seeing Luo Shifei''s respectful demeanor, Xia Zhu finally nodded in satisfaction.

    In a blink of an eye, the day of the auction arrived.

    "Tianyuan Wanshan Map..." Qin Jiang exhaled after finishing his cultivation, "What secrets does it really contain?"

    But since the Crazy Old Man had told him to look for it, there must be a reason. Qin Jiang immediately set off for the auction.

    On the other side, Zhao Yuefei also set off.

    She had learned from secret channels that many people were eyeing the ownership of that smallpany, so she had madeplete preparations.

    Outside the Tianyuan Auction House, it was bustling with activity.

    Many luxury cars were parked there, with everyone entering dressed in suits, as sessful individuals¡ªafter all, the Tianyuan Auction House was quite famous throughout the Divine Land.

    The auction items they announced, many were highly valuable collectibles.

    Each auction attracted arge crowd topete in bidding.

    Qin Jiang arrived at the outside of the auction house.

    "Sir, please verify your funds!" The security at the door stopped him and politely asked.

    Before Qin Jiang could act, a mocking voice he found detestable came from behind him again.

    "Yo, you came too? Do you know the standards of today''s auction?"

    Turning his head, Qin Jiang saw it was Xu Huanhuan and her boyfriend Wei Zijing.

    "Like a bad penny!"

    Qin Jiang was speechless, wondering how he always encountered these two nauseating individuals wherever he went.

    Wei Zijing said with acent smile, "The rule of the Tianyuan Auction House is that everyone must verify their funds to enter, starting at least at fifty million."

    "See this card in my hand?"

    He showed off arrogantly, "This is the auction''s intermediate VIP card, only those with over five hundred million in funds can obtain such an entry ticket."

    "You... probably don''t even have the lowest level VIP card, do you? Still trying to sneak in?"

    "Idiot." Qin Jiang muttered disdainfully, then presented the VIP card that Shen Longting had prepared for him, cing it on the machine.

    "Beep¡ª" A mechanical sound followed, "Wee diamond VIP member!"

 Chapter 88 The Iceberg President?

    Hearing the machine''s prompt, the security guards of the auction house all showed a respectful demeanor, bending at a ny-degree angle to Qin Jiang, "Wee to Tianyuan Auction House, sir!"

    A Diamond VIP card is something that only those with assets of over tens of billions can possess. Encountering such a guest, they must elevate their service to the highest level!

    Otherwise, once they enraged a person of this caliber, that would be the end for them...

    Qin Jiang strode past the entrance gate.

    "How is this possible?" Xu Huanhuan''s face was a mask of disbelief. "Impossible! Your machine must be wrong! How could this guy possibly be a Diamond VIP?"

    Wei Zijing also eximed angrily, "Your machine is broken, and you''re not even going to fix it?"

    He felt humiliated, as if he had been invisibly pped in the face. In front of a Diamond VIP card, his own intermediate VIP card wasn''t worth a damn thing!

    But how could this guy possibly have tens of billions in assets? It must be a machine error!

    "Sorry, sir, our machine has been checked, and there is no problem."

    "Impossible!" Xu Huanhuan coldly demanded, "I require you to recheck the machine immediately! We can''t let imposters sneak in and cause trouble!"

    Qin Jiang turned around with a frosty look, "Are you done yet?"

    "Qin Jiang, you get out here right now!" Xu Huanhuan ordered arrogantly, "You must have tampered with the card, right? I am going to report you to the person in charge of the auction house!"

    The rules of Tianyuan Auction House were extremely strict.

    After all, many items inside the auction house were very precious. What if someone with an unclear identity sneaked in and something was lost? As long as it was confirmed that Qin Jiang had sneaked in, Tianyuan Auction House had a hundred ways to finish him off!

    "Mr. Qin, what''s going on?" Just then, two women walked over side by side.

    It was Zhang Shuqing.

    By her side was another young woman, equally youthful and beautiful, with short hair that gave her a capable and mature look, the image of a strong woman.

    This woman.

    Was none other than the person in charge of Tianyuan Auction House in Jiangcheng, Miss Ling Qingxue of the Ling Family, and the auction house was in fact an asset of the Zhonghai Ling Family, with branches all over the country.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Miss Zhang, these two are buzzing around my ears like annoying flies, even iming that my Diamond VIP card is fake. Please have someone throw them out for me; they''re an eyesore!"

    Hearing what Qin Jiang had said, Zhang Shuqing''s expression turned icy, "Who are you to cause such a fuss here?"

    Xu Huanhuan was visibly annoyed, "What do you think you are, pointing your fingers and giving orders!"

    Zhang Shuqing sneered, "I might not be anything special, but I can make sure you don''t get in here with just a word."

    "Big talk! Do you own the auction house?" Wei Zijing spoke proudly, "We''ve paid a deposit!"

    Ling Qingxue''s face was indifferent as she said, "The auction house isn''t hers, but mine. Security, get them out of here immediately."

    "Yes, Miss Ling!" Following Ling Qingxue''smand, the security guards surrounded them.

    "You..."

    Wei Zijing said angrily, "Is this how Tianyuan Auction House does business?"

    "p!"

    A pnded promptly on his face.

    "For being disrespectful to our Miss, you deserve it!"

    "I''m going toin about you!" Wei Zijing shouted, clutching his face in anger.

    As soon as he finished speaking, another pnded on his face, causing him to grimace in pain.

    "If you''re not happy about it, go ahead andin!" Ling Qingxue said indifferently.

    Xu Huanhuan trembled with rage, "Too arrogant, too outrageous, utterlywless!"

    Zhang Shuqing said coldly, "You''re causing a disturbance here, disrupting the public order of this ce! Just say the word, and I can have you thrown in jail. Do you believe me?"

    A shiver ran down their spines.

    "You... who on earth are you? Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

    Zhang Shuqing stated indifferently, "I''m sorry, but in Jiangcheng, my father indeed has some influence."

    The two were taken aback.

    Who was she, boasting such authority?

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Give you three seconds, leave immediately. If you continue to be an eyesore in front of me, I''ll have Miss Zhang send you inside to enjoy a few days'' stay."

    Zhang?!

    Xu Huanhuan suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhang Shuqing with fear.

    She grabbed Wei Zijing and they scrambled to get away.

    Wei Zijing looked pissed and roared, "Huanhuan, what are you afraid of? I don''t believe they have that much capability! I''m a young master from Jinling, you know!"

    "How dare someone in this crappy ce like Jiangcheng treat me this way? I can''t swallow this insult!"

    Xu Huanhuan''s voice trembled, "The person just now... might be the daughter of the city''s leading family!"

    Clunk!

    Wei Zijing''s heart skipped a beat and he shut uppletely.

    Although his Wei Family had some money, they weren''t considered much in Jinling City. In a ce like Jiangcheng, the daughter of the city''s top family wouldn''t give a damn about him. Continue your saga on m|v-l''e -NovelBin

    If they really annoyed her, she could probably find a hundred reasons to have him killed!

    "Let''s go!"

    Despite his reluctance, he could only leave, covering his face. Their feelings at the moment could only be described as frustrated.

    Xu Huanhuan consoled, "My dear, let''s just let it go. It''s not a big deal, is it?"

    "Smack!"

    Wei Zijing, furious, pped her and yelled, "Easy for you to say! What am I supposed to do if my family mes me? Are you going to take the rap for me? Ridiculous!"

    He stormed off angrily.

    Today was a total loss of face. He had prepared everything to attend the auction, but in the end, he couldn''t even get through the door. How was he going to exin this to his family?

    Xu Huanhuan''s face was full of grievance as she immediately chased after him, "Zijing, Zijing..."

    Seeing the two fighting like dogs, Qin Jiang couldn''t help butugh.

    Zhang Shuqing approached with a trace of joy on her face, "Mr. Qin, you''re here to attend today''s auction as well?"

    Qin Jiang nodded, "That''s right."

    Ling Qingxue was curious, "Mr. Qin, is the Diamond VIP Card yours?"

    She too was curious since there were only a few in Jiangcheng who could produce such a card.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Shen Longting arranged it for me. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

    "So it''s Tycoon Shen." Ling Qingxue nodded. Not many could get Shen Longting to do this kind of favor. Just who was this young man?

    Just then, a car stopped outside.

    Zhao Yuefei stepped out of the car.

    Her cold, iceberg-like demeanor immediately made her the center of attention.

    She spotted Qin Jiang in the crowd, swiped her VIP card, and walked over!

    "Mrs. Zhao!" Qin Jiang greeted her with a smile.

    Zhao Ruge raised an eyebrow, "You''re here too?"

    Qin Jiang nodded.

    Zhao Yuefei suddenly leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Just so happens, someone''s been following me. Later, escort me home to avoid the hassle."

    Qin Jiang: "..."

    "What, am I your handyman?"

    Zhao Yuefei smiled faintly, "You promised my parents to take good care of me!"

    Qin Jiang, "You''re taking this for granted."

    Zhao Yuefei said indifferently, "Yes, of course. Or should I kneel and beg you?"

    "Come on, quit your whining."

    She took hold of Qin Jiang and dragged him along, taking him inside.

    Watching this scene, both Zhang Shuqing and Ling Qingxue were stunned and shocked. Jiangcheng''s icy beauty CEO actually acted like this in front of Qin Jiang? This wasn''t like Zhao Yuefei at all!

 Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Provocation!

    The faint fragranceing from Zhao Yufei drifted into Qin Jiang''s nose, making his body stiffen slightly. This woman was standing way too close to him. Discover more content at m,v l''e-NovelBin

    Qin Jiang could distinctly feel the touch on his arm.

    "Cough cough! Mrs. Zhao, remember to maintain the image of your ice queen persona," Qin Jiang reminded her.

    "What''s wrong?" Zhao Yufei said nonchntly, "What does it matter if I stand a little closer to my personal bodyguard? That''s how you can protect me properly."

    Qin Jiang was at a loss for words.

    He asked in a low voice, "You mentioned someone was following you, do you know who it might be?"

    Zhao Yufei shook her head, "Over the years, there have been many who have wanted my life; it''s hard to tell where theye from, but I guess it''s rted to my parents'' deaths."

    A rare hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes.

    "I have been investigating their cause of death all these years, but have gained very little information. Behind them, there seems to be a powerful hand controlling everything."

    "I am still too insignificant."

    As she spoke, her tone could not conceal her disappointment.

    Qin Jiang said, "Your parents wouldn''t want you to live in hatred all the time..."

    Zhao Yufei retorted, "Should I let their deaths be in vain?"

    "I can''t do that."

    Qin Jiang sighed softly; indeed, if he were in Zhao Yufei''s position, he too would have chosen to investigate to the end.

    However, the Zhao Couple had also mentioned that the people who wanted to harm them were too powerful and they didn''t stand a chance against them, so they dared not leave any clues for Zhao Yufei.

    But, this couldn''t stop Zhao Yufei from seeking revenge for them.

    Zhang Shuqing and Ling Qingxue, standing behind them, were even more surprised.

    Ling Qingxue became even more curious about this man.

    "Shuqing, who exactly is this Mr. Qin? He''s too amazing, isn''t he? Not only did you, the city''s most sought-after heiress, stand up for him, and Shen Longting offered the Diamond VIP Card, now even Zhao Yufei, the ice queen CEO, is this close to him..."

    Zhang Shuqing said, "Mr. Qin is quite remarkable."

    "His medical skills are unparalleled, and his martial arts are exceptional. Not just us, even Xu Tianlong acts like a little dog in front of him, not daring to retaliate."

    Ling Qingxue clicked her tongue in wonder.

    Qin Jiang appeared quite ordinary, but who knew he had such formidable abilities?

    This made her look up to this man even more.

    Qin Jiang followed Zhao Yufei directly into the auction house, but as soon as he entered, he saw a woman.

    Luo Shifei!

    Upon seeing Luo Shifei, Qin Jiang''s eyes grew cold.

    "Qin Jiang, you''re here too?" Luo Shifei looked at Qin Jiang in disbelief.

    One had to have at least fifty million verified funds to gain entry into this auction.

    Does this guy qualify to get in?

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "It''s none of your business. If you dare to show up in front of me again, the Lin Family will be your fate! Oh, and by the way, were you satisfied with the ''artistic'' photos I sent youst time?"

    "You¡ª!" Luo Shifei trembled with rage.

    After all, those photos circted widely online, causing her to lose facepletely.

    Now when she went out, people would point fingers and ridicule her.

    She had be theughingstock of Jiangcheng.

    Qin Jiang''s words had struck a nerve!

    Xia Zhu asked indifferently, "Shifei, who is this guy? Do you have a grudge against him?"

    Luo Shifei immediately ingratiated herself, "Miss Xia Zhu, this guy is the one I told you about, the idiot who I had thrown into prison three years ago."

    "Ah, him." Xia Zhu looked down disdainfully, "So you''re that Qin Jiang?"

    Qin Jiang asked coldly, "And who might you be?"

    Xia Zhu tilted her head up slightly, "You''ll soon find out who I am."

    "But for now, you''d better kneel down and apologize to Shifei! Then, after the auction, willingly kneel at the entrance ¡ª I''ll personally deal with you. Otherwise, you''ll face severe consequences!"

    "You have only one chance."

    Were it not for the influence of the Ling Family in Zhonghai, Xia Zhu would have taken action right there and then, but she had to abide by the rules of the Tianyuan Auction House.

    After all, the Ling Family wasn''t one to be trifled with.

    "Idiot!" Qin Jiang didn''t bother with this woman, cursed, and then turned to leave.

    In Xia Zhu''s eyes, a chilling glint shed, "It seems he really is quite the detestable fellow. No wonder Mr. Chu asked me toe here to give them both a lesson."

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang turned sharply, "Mr. Chu? You work for Chu Tianjiao?!"

    Killer intent surfaced in his eyes.

    "That''s right." Xia Zhu spoke calmly, "That fianc¨¦e of yours, I personally held her down and threw her at Mr. Chu''s feet, letting Mr. Chu slice her face open bit by bit!"

    "This time, I came to Jiangcheng on Mr. Chu''s order to give that wretch another opportunity to be Mr. Chu''s servant! As for you... you''re not worth it!"

    Killing intent poured out of Qin Jiang''s eyes, "After the auction is over, I''ll be waiting at the entrance. The pain Muge went through, I will return it to you, doubled."

 Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Struggle!

    What Chu Tianjiao did to Xu Muge that year was unforgivable!

    And yet, this woman had the audacity to bring up the matter in front of Qin Jiang, openly iming she had a part in torturing Xu Muge back then? Wasn''t she asking for death!

    "Insects," Xia Zhu said with disdain, "I don''t know where you got the courage to say such things to me. If it weren''t for the fact that this ce is the Tianyuan Auction House, by now, you would be crippled."

    "I return those words to you," Qin Jiang said coldly.

    The Tianyuan Auction House has its own set of rules; one absolutely cannot start a fight inside.

    Otherwise, no matter how powerful your background is, you''d still be punished by the Ling Family.

    Unless.

    You are more powerful than the Ling Family of Zhonghai.

    Clearly, neither Xia Zhu nor Qin Jiang had such capital.

    Zhao Yuefei frowned. Was this proud woman before her one of Chu Tianjiao''s people?

    Chu Tianjiao, the Prince of Jinling, a tyrant that instilled fear in many, had subdued countless with his ruthless methods. Adding to that the Chu Family''s formidable power and his own exceptional talent, Chu Tianjiao had never faced any setbacks.

    Even a mereckey serving him could be so arrogant; one could only imagine how domineering and overbearing Chu Tianjiao himself was. Qin Jiang and Xu Muge were unfortunate to have provoked such a person.

    "Let''s go." She tugged at Qin Jiang and promptly left the area with him.

    Within the private room, Zhao Yuefei said, "You shouldn''t have provoked her now. Chu Tianjiao is a madman, and all those under him are sick in the head."

    "That doesn''t change my desire to kill them," Qin Jiang picked up a bottle of wine from the table, opened it, and poured himself a ss. "Do you want a drink?"

    "Pour me some," Zhao Yuefei sighed, "It seems your days as my personal bodyguard are numbered... Chu Tianjiao is not someone you can provoke lightly. I didn''t expect you to cross paths with him so soon!"

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly, "How do you know he can kill me? In other words, why don''t you think I can kill him?"

    Zhao Yuefei replied indifferently, "Chu Tianjiao, the eldest son of Jinling''s Chu Family, is also a martial arts prodigy. At a young age, he has already reached the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm."

    "When a Grandmaster is enraged, blood flows like a river!"

    "With his personalbat strength, he could easily kill you, let alone the fact that he has the support of Jinling''s Chu Family and... his mother''s family from the Capital City, the Mo Family."

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "That won''t stop me from making him pay."

    How could he possibly let off someone who had done such things to Xu Muge?

    Zhao Yuefei said, "If you want to seek death, that''s your business, but don''t involve my sister!"

    "Mrs. Zhao, for a person as emotionless as you, calling Muge ''sister'' so affectionately, do you think I believe you?"

    Zhao Yuefei took a sip of red wine and said tly, "Whether you believe it or not, we have a connection."

    She walked to the window, looking out at the auction below, and muttered, "The auction is about to start."

    Qin Jiang''s eyes narrowed slightly, "I wonder what kind of exciting items will appear this time?"

    Zhao Yuefei''s gaze gradually became resolute.

    No matter what, she had to get her hands on the item she wanted, to personally unravel the secret of her parents from back then.

    And Qin Jiang also wanted to get the Tianyuan Wanshan Map. The secret that the Crazy Old Man had mentioned was within it, and he was very curious about what kind of secret and fate it held.

    Soon, the auction proceeded with great fanfare.

    Before long, the Tianyuan Wanshan Map that Qin Jiang wanted was brought up to the auction stage.

    The Tianyuan Wanshan Map was not the hottest item of the night, so there weren''t many bidders, but there were a few sparse bids. To avoid suspicion, Qin Jiang waited patiently for the right moment.

    Just as the room fell silent and he was about to make a bid, a cold voice rang out, "I bid twenty million!"

    Qin Jiang''s pupils tightened - someone actually bid such a high price for the Tianyuan Wanshan Map?

    Looking down from the private room, he saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man wearing ck clothes and a ck face mask, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes. Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-NovelBin

    An ordinary middle-aged man.

    But Qin Jiang could tell by the gleam in the man''s eyes and his spirited look that he was no ordinary martial artist.

    Could it be that this man also knew of the Tianyuan Wanshan Map''s secret? Or was it simply that he wanted to acquire the painting? However, if it was merely about owning the artwork, there was no need to pay such a hefty price.

    After pondering for a moment, Qin Jiang said calmly, "Twenty-two million!"

 Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Arrogant and Despotic!

    He didn''t dare to quote too high all at once, afraid that the other party might notice something.

    "Twenty-five million!"

    The middle-aged man continued to speak indifferently.

    As the price of this painting was raised to twenty-five million, everyone was somewhat astonished.

    After all, in their view, it was just an ordinary painting with nothing special about it. They had thought twenty million was already high enough but didn''t expect it to be driven up to such a high price.

    The middle-aged man proimed loudly, "Esteemed guest, this painting is an heirloom that my ancestors left outside. I hope you can bear to part with it and let me purchase it. I would be deeply grateful."

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "This is an artifact of the Qin Family. When did it be your ancestor''s possession? I cannot simply hand it over. I offer thirty million. If you wish topete, I will fight you for it till the end."

    Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in ck did not speak any further but cast an icy gaze over here. Qin Jiang felt as if his piercing eyes were cutting through the one-way ss, directly onto him.

    However, Qin Jiang was unconcerned.

    "Congrattions to the guest in VIP room number eight, for acquiring the Tianyuan Wanshan Map at the price of thirty million!"

    The deal was sealed with a hammer strike.

    Qin Jiang sessfully won the Tianyuan Wanshan Map.

    Qin Jiang saw those cold and gloomy eyes staring intently at him, filled with murderous intent.

    "It seems that there is ill intent at y..."

    Qin Jiang furrowed his brows.

    It seemed that the secret of the Tianyuan Wanshan Map was known not just to the Crazy Old Man. Then why would such a treasure appear at a ce like the Qin family?

    None of the Qin family members for three generations had been martial artists; they were all engaged in business.

    Logically, they shouldn''t have any treasures rted to the martial arts world.

    Could it really be a coincidence?

    Afterward, several more items were auctioned off in session, and soon, it was time for Zhao Yuefei''s coveted lot toe onstage. A hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.

    Qin Jiang asked out of curiosity, "What is it that you are looking to buy today?"

    Zhao Yuefei replied, "Apany, or to be precise, a research team."

    "Back then, my parents invested in them and it seems they even made some breakthroughs. Later, my parents withdrew from this research team. Not long after, they were imprisoned and encountered misfortune."

    "Now, this smallpany can''t keep going and is auctioning off the entirepany and the staff in a package deal."

    "You suspect that they might know the secret of your parents'' demise?" Qin Jiang said calmly.

    "Exactly," Zhao Yuefei spoke calmly. "My parents also left me other things, but I need to find the people and the items from back then to solve this mystery."

    The auction officially began.

    Zhao Yuefei bid without hesitation, offering three hundred million directly.

    This set the entire room boiling!

    After all, this was just a smallpany with no more than fifty employees.

    Moreover, it has been losing money yearly.

    To date, they had no notable achievements, so nobody was really interested in it. No one expected that someone would be willing to spend so much money to buy it.

    "Four hundred million!" A proud voice rang out, leading Qin Jiang and another to furrow their brows. This voice sounded very familiar, wasn''t that the voice of the woman named Xia Zhu?

    Zhao Yuefei frowned, not expecting that Chu Tianjiao''s subordinate woulde up against her. However, she had no intention of backing down and could only keep raising her bid.

    "Five billion!"

    "Six billion!"

    Their disy of wealth left everyone speechless and wide-eyed.

    In the end, the price soaredyer byyer, reaching ten billion.

    Xia Zhu couldn''t keep herposure any longer and threatened coldly, "No matter who you are, if you dare to openly oppose our Chu Family, think carefully about the consequences."

    Zhao Yuefei remained unafraid and said indifferently, "Eleven billion!"

    "Crack¡ª"

    The moment her words fell, Xia Zhu crushed the armrest of the chair beside her, her gaze growing terrifyingly dark.

    "Courting death!" She had never seen anyone daring enough to vie with her Chu Family over an item, suicidal!

    "Let her take it! I want to see if she can swallow what she''s bitten off!"

    "Who was the personpeting with me just now? Which suite are they in?"

    Luo Shifei quickly answered, "Suite number eight."

    "Do you know who they are?" Xia Zhu asked.

    After thinking for a bit, Luo Shifei replied, "It seems that the guy who entered suite number eight just now¡ªprobably, the woman who was with Qin Jiang earlier is the one who waspeting with you!"

    Xia Zhu sneered coldly, "Just right, I can settle this with both at once. Topete with me, Xia Zhu, over an itemter, I''ll have her kneel and offer the item to me!"

    She was used to being overbearing and tyrannical. When had she ever been treated like this?

    So now, she was very angry.

    The consequences would be severe.

    "Let''s go, wait for them outside the auction house." Xia Zhu stood up and said coldly.

    Today, these two rascals had to give her a satisfactory exnation, or she would not let the matter rest.

    Meanwhile, Qin Jiang and Zhao Yuefei also obtained the items they wanted and left the ce.

    Ling Qingxue personally handed over the items to Qin Jiang. Before leaving, she smiled at the two and said, "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Zhao, it seems someone has their eye on you. You better be careful. I didn''t expect these two inconspicuous little items to turn out to be hot potatoes."

    Qin Jiang chuckled, "Whoever darese, just chop off his hand, that''ll do. Actually, I have the same intention."

    After speaking, he turned and left.

    Ling Qingxue murmured, "Chu Tianjiao''s maidservants are all no ordinary people, having reached the peak of Inner Strength at such a young age, just a step away from the Grandmaster realm. Qin Jiang seems quite confident! I really want to see what gives him such confidence!"

    "And those interested in the painting he holds are not simple characters either. Even you, Feng, find it challenging. Are you sure that person is a Transformation Realm Grandmaster?"

    The middle-aged man standing behind her spoke slowly, "My intuition is never wrong. That kind of aura can onlye from a real Transformation Realm powerhouse. I''m afraid this young man is in danger."

    "Qin Jiang holds a big secret indeed. Just a mere painting managed to attract the covetousness of a Grandmaster?" Ling Qingxue wondered.

    Feng Lin said gravely, "Perhaps, it''s connected to a rumor from the martial world fifty years ago, but our Ling Family has studied this painting for a long time and hasn''t found anything noteworthy. It probably isn''t the item from the rumors."

    Qin Jiang and Zhao Yuefei walked side by side out of Tianyuan Auction House and saw Luo Shifei and Xia Zhu standing at the entrance.

    Xia Zhu exuded an imposing presence, and in her cold and severe eyes loomed a sense of deadly threat, as she stepped forward.

    "You must be Zhao Yuefei. I''ve heard of you. Do you want to end up with the same fate as your parents, premature death? Hand over the item, kneel and admit your fault, then scram! I can spare you a path to live."

    "As for the one surnamed Qin, today, he must stay!"

    As she finished speaking, a powerful murderous aura burst from her body. With her approaching steps, the sense of oppression became increasingly intense.

 Chapter 92 : 92: Ruthless Flower Crushing!

    Qin Jiang''s gaze turned icy as he said indifferently, "I think you''re just looking for death!"

    "Ant, soon I will let you experience what true despair feels like." Xia Zhu had no respect for Qin Jiang at all. With her strength, killing Qin Jiang was nothing more than a trivial matter.

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "You''re just a dog under Chu Tianjiao, and you dare to yap in front of me? Call Chu Tianjiao himself over, and maybe I will show some respect!"

    Zhao Yuefei would not back down when it came to the secrets of her parents, even though she knew that the enemy behind her was none other than the legendary Prince of Jinling!

    So what?

    "Ignorant!" Xia Zhu''s killing intent surged when she heard Zhao Yuefei daring to insult her, calling her a dog feeder. Instantly, her body charged towards Zhao Yuefei with murderous intent!

    "Hiss¡ª"

    Her fingers transformed into ws, tearing through the sky, aiming straight for Zhao Yuefei''s throat.

    Zhao Yuefei''s face turned deathly pale!

    Luo Shifei''s face lit up with excitement!

    She had finally waited for this moment. With Xia Zhu making her move, all these people were done for!

    By then, whether it was Qin Jiang, Xu Muge, or Luo Shifei, all would be doomed!

    A sense of vengeful pleasure filled her eyes.

    It seemed that her decision to tip off Mr. Chu had been the correct one!

    Just as Xia Zhu''s hand was about to reach Zhao Yuefei''s throat, Qin Jiang made his move!

    He grabbed Xia Zhu''s wrist in one swift motion!

    "Overestimating your abilities!" Xia Zhu sneered proudly and then her other hand mmed towards Qin Jiang, unleashing her peak Inner Strength in a burst!

    "Whoosh¡ª"

    Qin Jiang''s eyes were cold as he sent out a palm strike in return.

    Xia Zhu''s arm bones shattered, and agonizing pain overwhelmed her!

    Qin Jiang, expressionless, broke her other arm as well, eliciting a piercing scream from her.

    In less than a mere ten seconds, Xia Zhu had been defeated.

    Cold sweat poured out all over her.

    How could this guy be so strong?

    She was at the peak of Inner Strength! How could she be defeated by this ant?

    "Trash!" Qin Jiang kicked her in the abdomen, destroying her dantian.

    She howled in pain, copsing to the ground like a deted balloon.

    Qin Jiang walked forward, stepping on her face, grinding it with force!

    "How does it feel to be humiliated?"

    "Ahhh¡ª!" Xia Zhu''s face was torn and bloody, feeling near death as Qin Jiang''s leather shoe ground her face into a bloody mess.

    Qin Jiang''s foot pressed down relentlessly.

    He ground her head against the ground.

    She tried to struggle up, but Qin Jiang gave her no chance, pressing her head firmly into the ground!

    Her entire face was deformed.

    With a ferocious look, a dagger appeared in her hand, and despite the intense pain, she stabbed at Qin Jiang.

    "Good, you have a dagger, huh?"

    Qin Jiang''s foot stomped on her hand!

    Crack!

    Her already fractured arm waspletely disabled by Qin Jiang''s crushing stomp.

    "Back then, Chu Tianjiao disfigured Muge, and you contributed to that? Well, it''s time for you to pay the debt!" A bloodthirsty glint appeared in Qin Jiang''s eyes!

    Then, he picked up the dagger in his hand, "I''ll also send a little gift back to Chu Tianjiao..."

    His hand moved across Xia Zhu''s face.

    "Ahh!"

    A sharp pain shot through as Xia Zhu screamed, "Please, I''m begging you, don''t, don''t..."

    She was scared,pletely begging for mercy.

    Yet, Qin Jiang didn''t stop. This kind of woman was arrogant and malicious, and as he dealt these ruthless blows, he didn''t feel the slightest guilt. When she harmed Xu Muge, had she ever considered her own fate?

    His knife''s edge shed through.

    In an instant, savage streaks of blood appeared, Xia Zhu''s face drenched in blood, extremely fierce.

    "Go back and tell Chu Tianjiao, this is just the beginning. When the timees, I will make him repay everything he did to Muge, double!"

    With those words, Qin Jiang kicked the trembling, wailing Xia Zhu on the ground, knocking her unconscious.

    Luo Shifei was already trembling with fear.

    "You you you ... "

    Qin Jiang''s figure shed forward, and he reached out, grabbing Luo Shifei by the throat, lifting her off the ground!

    "Luo Shifei, I see you''re seeking death! Did you really think I wouldn''t dare to kill you?"

    "Huh¡ª"

    "Huh¡ª"

    Luo Shifei struggled frantically, the feeling of suffocation bringing her an unprecedented fear.

    "Qin Jiang ... "

    Through clenched teeth, she managed to utter a difficult phrase, "I am now serving Mr. Chu. Do you dare kill me? Mr. Chu ... will never let you off!"

    "Is that so?"

    "Shua! Shua! Shua!" Qin Jiang''s dagger sliced directly across her face, cutting to the bone every time!

    "How does it feel?"

    "Does it feel good?"

    "Have you experienced the sensation of being disfigured?"

    "Ahhhh¡ª!" Severe pain erupted across Luo Shifei''s face, and as she touched it, she realized it was covered with blood, causing her body to tremble uncontrobly with shock. She''d been disfigured...

    Her once prideful beauty had now turned her into a monster!

    "Get lost!"

    Qin Jiang released her, "Go back and tell Chu Tianjiao, I will personally make him experience despair."

    He knew that what Luo Shifei was most proud of was her appearance; by shing her face and disfiguring her, Qin Jiangpletely ruined her. This would be more painful than death...

    From now on, Luo Shifei would have to live with that face, a fate worse than death.

    "Qin Jiang ... I will definitely make you pay for this!" Luo Shifei stood up staggering, blood streaming down her face, she hoisted the unconscious Xia Zhu over her shoulder, leaving a bitterly venomous statement before she left.

    Qin Jiang didn''t take her words to heart, "Next time you provoke me, I promise, your fate will be the same as Lin Jiaolong''s. Not a single person from the Luo Family will be spared!"

    At those words, Luo Shifei''s delicate body trembled, and she left without looking back...

    Zhao Yuefei watched the scene with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "You really are merciless. But I like it. People like them don''t deserve any mercy."

    Xia Zhu''s arrogance and Luo Shifei''s actions, both past and present, disgusted her.

    Now, Qin Jiang''s punishment for them seemed only fair to her. Against such evil people, one must retaliate with even more ruthless measures!

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "Let''s go."

    He knew that these two were just Chu Tianjiao''s pawns.

    His real enemy was Chu Tianjiao, that aloof and arrogant Prince of Jinling!

    But what of it?

    The person who hurt Xu Muge, even if it were the Emperor himself, he would make them pay!

    Zhao Yuefei approached him, speaking in a low voice, "Do you see those people over there? They are the ones who''ve been tracking me."

    Qin Jiang''s eyes flickered, and then he followed Luo Shifei, leaving the ce. Behind them, a car followed quietly...

    When they reached a deserted section of the road, Qin Jiang stopped the car, stepped out, and called out, "Come on out, don''t you think it''s shameful to show off such poor tracking skills?"

    Four or five men wearing face masks got out of the car.

    Each with a sinister look in their eyes.

    Finally, a young man stepped down from the car, his eyes coldly fixated on the two.

    "Zhang Tianxu?" Zhao Yuefei''s face turned particrly ashen, "What do you want to do?"

 Chapter 93 : 93: A Thin Line Between Life and Death!

    "Heh heh!" Seeing himself recognized, Zhang Tianxu no longer tried to conceal his identity and took off his mask.

    "Zhao Yuefei, you slut, you''re really a flirt, as expected hanging around with this guy! No wonder you look down on me now!"

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "It''s nothing but your own wishful thinking; I''ve never deigned to look at you directly. Or rather, I never considered you worthy of my attention in the first ce!"

    "You''re just a subordinate of mine and dare to harbor improper thoughts towards your superior? A toad lusting after a swan''s flesh, keep dreaming."

    This remark twisted Zhang Tianxu''s entire face into contortions.

    "Good! Very good! Zhao Yuefei, you will pay the price for your words!" Zhang Tianxu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with madness.

    Zhao Yuefei spoke icily, "Someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes for you toe after me today; I assume you wouldn''t have the guts to touch me on your own."

    Zhang Tianxu grinned viciously, "Zhao Yuefei, are you going to get in the car willingly and kneel at my feet to beg for mercy, or should we drag you onto the car and force myself upon you? Don''t be delusional, thinking that this guy could save you!"

    They each had a dark, gleaming gun in their hands, the barrels aimed directly at Qin Jiang and hispanion.

    Qin Jiang''s expression became extremely grave.

    Zhao Yuefei''s pretty face turned somewhat pale; these guys actually had these things in their hands?

    It seems they were well-prepared.

    "Zhang Tianxu, do you know what you''re doing right now?" Her gaze was ominously dark!

    "Of course, I know." Zhang Tianxu licked his lips, "Soon I will see you, this conceited bitch, sobbing before me; just thinking about it... I''m really looking forward to it!"

    After speaking, he stepped toward Qin Jiang, his gun trained on Qin Jiang, "Kneel down!"

    Qin Jiang didn''t move, his eyes focused on their actions.

    Zhang Tianxu flew into a rage, "I fucking told you to kneel down! You think you''re tough? Are you tougher than a gun? Act tough for me one more time, I dare you!"

    His voice became hysterical, his eyes gradually tinting blood-red, "I''m giving you onest chance."

    At this moment, he was only two meters away from Qin Jiang, his gun still pointed at Qin Jiang''s head.

    Zhao Yuefei was on tenterhooks!

    "Zhang Tianxu, don''t be rash, I''ll go with you!" she gritted her teeth.

    "Bang!"

    Zhang Tianxu pulled the trigger and fired a shot at her feet, hissing, "Shut up! Now, it''s not your turn, you bitch...."

    Taking advantage of this momentary distraction, Qin Jiang moved; his body as fast as lightning, he went straight up and grabbed Zhang Tianxu''s throat, disarming the gun from his hand in an instant!

    This scene took everyone present by surprise.

    This guy really had the guts to make a move at this moment!

    Qin Jiang''s hand was clenched on Zhang Tianxu''s throat, the gun now pressed against his temple, "Put down the guns, or I''ll blow his head off!"

    He could indeed deal with these people alone, but Zhao Yuefei was there, and he couldn''t use his full strength.

    After all, Zhao Yuefei was an unarmed woman; he had to be distracted to protect her.

    Zhang Tianxu was so scared he wet his pants, his legs trembling nonstop, "Don''t, don''t kill me...."

    The arrogance from a moment ago evaporated into nothing.

    "Don''t bother with him."

    The several men exchanged nces, and the next moment, they actually aimed their guns at Zhao Yuefei, "If we eliminate Zhao Yuefei, our task will be consideredplete. Kill her!"

    At thismand, they were about to pull their triggers!

    Zhao Yuefei felt the hair on her body stand up, a profound sense of crisis enveloping her, as if she had plunged into an ice cer...

    Qin Jiang couldn''t care less; he flung Zhang Tianxu toward them.

    "Bang bang bang!!"

    Several gunshots sounded, and Zhang Tianxu screamed; bullets turned him into a sieve on the spot, while the remaining bullets streaked past, heading for Zhao Yuefei!

    She stood frozen in ce, her body heavy as if filled with lead, unable to move¡­

    In the nick of time,

    Qin Jiang tackled her to the ground and rolled several times across the pavement! Where Zhao Yuefei had been standing, bullets whizzed past....

    "Continue, kill!"

    The men''s eyes were cold as they continued to aim at the two, gunshots incessantly ringing out!

    Zhao Yuefei felt as if breathing itself had be difficult, her mind went nk¡­

    Qin Jiang gritted his teeth and rolled with her behind the car, using it as cover; bullets rained down, one piercing straight through his shoulder de!

    "Hiss!" Qin Jiang inhaled sharply, "Stay here, don''t go out!"

    "Your hand¡­ " Zhao Yuefei noticed Qin Jiang''s arm bleeding profusely, and her slender body shuddered.

    "No more talk, just stay put," he said.

    Qin Jiang''s gaze was icy; these guys weren''t strong, but the guns in their hands were troublesome.

    Although he could handle these men, that was only if Zhao Yuefei didn''t slow him down!

    Several silver needles quietly appeared in his hand.

    "First, let''s get rid of this nuisance!" The leadermanded coldly.

    They advanced step by step, continuously firing bullets toward the ce where the two were hiding; neither dared to raise their heads, only able to take cover behind the car.

    Zhao Yuefei''s heart raced to her throat!

    If this continued, they would eventually be shot to death; these men were acting toowlessly, daring to assassinate them in broad daylight!

    Moreover, they were armed.

    Just then, Qin Jiang''s body shot out from behind the car like lightning!

    "Still daring to show yourself? Courting death!" The men immediately locked their guns on him.

    But before they could shoot, several silver needles already pierced the air! Two men were hit, a small red dot appearing on their foreheads, and they fell to the ground dead¡­

    "You!"

    Seeing this, the other men felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on them!

    And Qin Jiang''s figure flickered toward them; his speed was fast, and his movements were erratic, making it impossible for them to lock on to his position. A chilling dread crept over them!

    They tensed up, firing blindly ahead¡­

 Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Borrowing a Knife to Kill!

    Jiangcheng moved like a ghost, his gun continuously sweeping out as bullets whistled through the air!

    "Bang Bang!" Two men were once again headshot, falling backward to the ground!

    In his eyes, their movements were like slower by a factor of ten; he could easily predict all their actions and could even see the speed of the bullets clearly.

    With his powerful strength, shooting these standing targets in the head was not difficult.

    As two of theirpanions fell, the remaining man, trembling all over, dared not fight any longer and turned to flee! They were professional killers, but now, to them, Jiangcheng''s terror had far exceeded their imaginations!

    So, what else could they do but flee?

    However, how could Jiangcheng let him get his wish? He shot directly at the man''s thigh!

    "Bang!"

    A mist of blood burst forth, and the man fell to the ground with a ''thud,'' his thigh pierced by the bullet!

    Jiangcheng approached step by step, "Tell me who is behind all this."

    "I don''t know..." the man trembled, "We''re just paid to do the job."

    "Please, don''t kill me..." the man shivered violently, begging for mercy.

    Jiangcheng finished him with another shot.

    Such people were definitely not easy to deal with, and so, there was no trace of soft-heartedness from Jiangcheng, if they came to kill him today, who knows who they would kill tomorrow, letting them go would allow them to continue their evil deeds.

    After dealing with all of them, Jiangcheng finally rxed.

    "Hiss¡ª"

    He sucked in a breath of cold air upon seeing his shoulder already dyed red with blood, furrowing his brows.

    In normal times, facing these low-level thugs, he was sure he wouldn''t have been injured.

    However, this time, with Yufei being a liability, he unavoidably sustained a light injury, but it wasn''t serious as it didn''t hit any vital spot¡ªit wasn''t a big issue!

    Clip-clop, clip-clop!

    Yufei, wearing high heels, briskly walked over from behind the car. Seeing the wound on Jiangcheng''s shoulder, she furrowed her brows; worry also appeared in those eyes filled with frost.

    "You''re injured?"

    "Are you blind?" Jiangcheng indifferently retorted. "Can''t you see it''s obvious?"

    "I..." Yufei wished she could stuff her high heels into his mouth, but remembering it was because of her that he got injured, she forcefully suppressed her anger.

    "I''ll take you to the hospital," Yufei sighed, quickly got into the car, and spoke.

    "No need!" Jiangcheng shook his head. "It''s not that troublesome."

    After speaking, his body shook slightly, his muscles rhythmically trembled, and soon, a bullet fell from his wound, hitting the ground.

    This scene left Yufei dumbfounded!

    "This..."

    It was unbelievable!

    Just what was this guy''s body made of?

    Discover exclusive tales on m,v l''e-NovelBin

    It was horrifyingly tough.

    Jiangcheng was already used to this; a Grandmaster level of strength was already very powerful. At his level, if he truly focused his True Qi in one ce, even bullets could not prate his defense.

    However, in that critical situation, he could only activate his Inner Strength, enveloping his entire body, and after being struck by the bullet, quickly gather his Inner Strength to lock the bullet in ce, preventing it from causing greater internal damage.

    Therefore, this bullet wound was nothing more than a superficial scratch to him!

    It hadn''t reached any organs.

    Nheless, it would probably take two or three days for him to fully recover.

    "Truly a freak," Yufei said incredulously as she looked at Jiangcheng, muttering aint.

    "Get in the car, let''s leave this ce of trouble!" Qin Jiang said indifferently.

    Zhao Yuefei replied with a cool expression, "Someone will clean up there, don''t worry about it. However, the trouble is Zhang Tianxu."

    "Zhang Tianxu''s master is the owner of Tianji Martial Arts Hall¡ªHuang Tianji. He''s very fond of Zhang Tianxu, and now, with Zhang Tianxu dead, if he decides to investigate, I fear we might be in quite some trouble."

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang casually asked, "Is this Huang Tianji very strong?"

    "The second-ranked martial arts expert in Jiangcheng, what do you think? No one in the whole of Jiangcheng dares to provoke them."

    "Xu Tianlong, despite having arge number of subordinates, also doesn''t want to invite such trouble. After all, Huang Tianji''s personalbat power is terrifying. In a one-on-one fight, Xu Tianlong might well have his head twisted off by him."

    Qin Jiang inquired, "What level of strength does this Huang Tianji have? That you all fear him so much?"

    "Inner Strength Peak!" Zhao Yuefei took a deep breath and said.

    Qin Jiang nodded, so weak, then he had nothing to fear.

    After all, his realm was at the Qi Sea Peak, and hisbat power wasparable to that of a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster. To him, someone at the Inner Strength Peak was like a child, posing no threat whatsoever.

    "Why are you so calm?" Zhao Yuefei couldn''t contain her impatience and asked.

    "Average strength, not to be feared," Qin Jiang replied.

    Zhao Yuefei was so exasperated she didn''t know how to respond. Such a level of strength was basically the ceiling of Jiangcheng!

    And Qin Jiang was so bold?

    She drove all the way to her vi.

    "Come in, I have a medicine box. I''ll help you treat that wound," she said.

    No matter what, Qin Yan had been injured because of her, so she had to show some concern, or else it would seem too heartless and ungrateful of her.

    The way Qin Jiang had fearlessly saved her just now had genuinely touched her heart.

    This guy, although unpleasant in speech and quite a blunt man, was overall reliable and never dropped the ball at critical moments.

    Qin Jiang followed Zhao Yuefei to her detached vi.

    They entered her room.

    But as soon as he went in, he was stunned¡ªthe bed wasid out with several intimate garments.

    Lace, leopard print, cartoon...

    Every type was present.

    Seeing that she hadn''t tidied her room before she left, Zhao Yuefei''s face turned red as she hurriedly put everything away, her face flushing.

    "You didn''t see anything just now, right?" she demanded.

    Qin Jiang chuckled lightly, "Indeed, I didn''t see anything. However, Mrs. Zhao''s range of interests is surprisingly broad; it is quite unexpected¡ªsexy, elegant, cute... truly surprising."

    It was unexpected that the outwardly cold Zhao Yuefei had such a diverse private side.

    "Drop dead!" Zhao Yuefei threw a punch at Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang dodged, and she stumbled forward, falling right in front of him.

    Looking up, she instantly blushed.

    Then, she steadied herself, red at Qin Jiang with a mix of annoyance and embarrassment, and said, "Sit down properly. I''m going to get some medicine to neutralize the poison and dress your wounds."

    Meanwhile, in a conference room elsewhere, a group of people sat with grim expressions.

    The man seated in the ce of honor asked in a low voice, "The assassination failed?"

    "That''s right, that kid messed it up, and Zhang Tianxu... he''s dead."

    "Hehe¡ª"

    The man smiled slightly, "Isn''t his death just perfect for us? We can use this opportunity to ''borrow a knife to kill someone.''

    "I refuse to believe they can always be so lucky to escape death."

 Chapter 95 Contradictory!

    Hearing this, the people nodded in agreement, "Mr. Hu, you really need to think of a way to deal with them quickly! With such a huge piece of the cake that is Zhao Corporation up for grabs, if that little girl gets to eat it all by herself, we really can''t ept that!"

    "That''s right, that''s right!"

    Everyone nodded repeatedly.

    "A greenhorn girl, also daring to boss us veterans around."

    Their tone was full of dissatisfaction.

    Hu Jianghai said coldly, "No rush. We have a big backer supporting us behind the scenes. They can''t beat us."

    "Right now, the only person Zhao Yuefei can truly trust by her side is just one guy. If we take care of this kid first, won''t everything be perfect?"

    "Does Mr. Hu have any good ideas?"

    "Zhang Tianxu!" Hu Jianghai smiled and said, "Don''t forget his identity."

    At these words, everyone''s eyes lit up!

    Inside Zhao Yuefei''s vi, Qin Jiang took off his upper garment, revealing his muscr torso, soaked with blood that had already seeped through his clothing. His shoulder waspletely covered with dried brown bloodstains.

    Seeing such severe injuries, a rare hint of guilt appeared in Zhao Yuefei''s eyes.

    She feigned nonchnce, "It looks like you''ve really put in the effort. Should I give you a raise?"

    Qin Jiangughed, "Twenty thousand a month for risking my life is indeed a bit tough. A yearly sry of a million, now that''s barely eptable and sounds more reasonable."

    "Dream on," Zhao Yuefei pouted.

    "Do you know who was behind this attack?" Qin Jiang asked. "They''ve even dared to use knives and guns this time. What will happen next time? If we don''t weed out this hidden danger, sooner orter, you''ll be finished."

    No matter what, before the Zhao Couple passed away, they had urged him to look after Zhao Yuefei a bit. Now that Zhao Yuefei was in trouble, he couldn''t just sit by and do nothing.

    "I''ve figured it out!" Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "Who else could it be besides them? Only they would think of using Zhang Tianxu against me! Right...st time, you said you''d give me their dirt, but you still haven''t handed it over!"

    Qin Jiang suddenly felt awkward, "I''ll give it to you tonight."

    "These guys are even dreaming of killing me! This time, I''m going to eradicate them root and branch!" Zhao Yuefei''s eyes seethed with a murderous intent.

    "As for the bunch in yourpany, they''re just a disaster. It''s pointless to keep them around. Better to wipe them all out," Qin Jiang said as he made a phone call, "Hello, Heizi, I need you to look into something."

    "Qin, just tell me," the person on the other end replied respectfully. "I''ll handle it."

    "Okay, I''ll send you the details shortly."

    "Alright."

    The two exchanged a few words and then ended the call.

    "Is that it?" Zhao Yuefei frowned. "You seem very confident in this friend of yours."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "If you had a friend who hacked into America''s defense database at eighteen, I think you''d be very confident in them too."

    Zhao Yuefei clicked her tongue, "Are they that impressive?"

    "Of course," Qin Jiang scoffed. "In prison, he hacked into the warden''sputer and got all his dirty videos aired in themunal TV hall for everyone to enjoy."

    "He was nearly beaten to death by the warden, but in the end, I saved his life."

    Qin Jiang felt a smug sense of satisfaction recalling the incident.

    Zhao Yuefei nodded, appreciatively saying, "It seems that during your two years in prison, you''ve be quite the big shot, not a total waste."

    Qin Jiang fell silent. Could he really be considered a big shot? That term was too low-ss, an insult.

    At the very least, he should be called something like the King of the Prison.

    After his wound was dressed, Qin Jiang left the ce and returned to the Qin Family home.

    Xu Muge was unexpectedly at the Qin Family, chatting with Qin Sisi and Wen Qiaoling about family matters.

    Seeing Qin Jiange back, she asked, "Where have you been?"

    "I went out to buy some stuff," Qin Jiang replied.

    "You''re always running outside, not spending enough time with the family," Xu Muge nced at him, "Remember to do your job at Zhao Corporation well. Mrs. Zhao thinks highly of you; it''s an opportunity for you, understand?"

    Qin Jiang nodded without arguing. Xu Muge really thought he was working for Zhao Yuefei, whereas in reality, he was the one helping her.

    Xu Muge sighed, "Today, Xu Huanhuan brought her boyfriend back to the Xu Family. Likely, she''s trying to secure grandfather''s support."

    Qin Jiangmented ndly, "Oh? With whatever little ability they have, would Old Mr. Xu''s support even matter?"

    No sooner had he finished speaking than a phone call came in on Xu Muge''s mobile phone.

    Xu Huanhuan said smugly, "Xu Muge, you''re finished. Grandfather has decided to give the CEO position to my brother! Better you just leave Xu Group and go farm thend!"

    Xu Muge responded coldly, "Is grandfather going back on his word?"

 Chapter 96 The Secret in the Painting!

    "Hahaha¡ª" Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Who needs you when I have such an awesome boyfriend to back me up? With Zijing''s family being so rich, just a little bit of support for the Xu Family, and aren''t we set to skyrocket within minutes? What do we need you for?"

    "The message has been delivered, now get lost!"

    Xu Muge emotionlessly hung up the phone.

    Although she didn''t have much affection for the Xu Family, the Xu Group was still a ce where she had worked hard for years and invested her efforts. Being kicked out like this, she inevitably felt some resentment.

    But she quickly let it go.

    To her, the Xu Family was a shackle. Free from them, she might have a better chance to showcase her talents elsewhere, a stage for her to wield her skills!

    Qin Jiang asked, "Is the Xu Family trying to push you out of the game?"

    "Exactly!" Xu Muge said with a bitter smile, "They''ve got Wei Zijing''s support, and they think relying on him will bring them higher profits than me working at Xu Group. That''s why they''re doing this."

    Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "No matter, I will make them pay for their broken promises, and besides, getting away from the bloodsucking Xu Family might not be a bad thing for you."

    Xu Muge said, "Next, I might need some time to prepare, nning to apply for jobs. With my work experience, getting a decent position out there should be feasible."

    Qin Jiang and the othersforted her for a while before he personally escorted her back to her rental house at the Xu Family''s.

    Qin Jiang said, "This neighborhood is too dangerous. It''s time we found a better ce to live, I''m a bit worried about you staying in a ce like this."

    Xu Muge gave a bitter smile, "I''ve been living here for so many years, what''s there to be afraid of?"

    Qin Jiang gave a smile and walked her up to her floor.

    "Getting away from the Xu Family is a good thing. Have a good dream tonight, everything is going to get better!"

    Qin Jiang kissed her on the forehead.

    "Alright."

    After Xu Muge had gone upstairs, Qin Jiang''s expression instantly turned icy cold.

    He dialed Shen Longting''s number and said, "Issue my order immediately! Starting today, Longting Group will unterally cklist the Xu Group! And mark all businesses that deal with Xu Group on Longting Group''s cklist!"

    As Jiangcheng''s leading enterprise, such a ban from Longting Group would trigger a terrifying chain reaction for the Xu Group, causing them to lose countless partners!

    Qin Jiang wanted to give Xu Muge some retribution, to make the Xu Family pay a painful price!

    Shen Longting nodded repeatedly, "Alright! Master, I understand! By the way¡­ Master, are you now in a position to take over Longting Group? You just need to hold a title. All the affairs of Longting Group can be left to Shen to handle..."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Then, announce a change of ownership for Longting Group in a few days."

    Shen Longting pleaded earnestly, and he could not refuse any longer.

    However, once he took control of Longting Group, it seemed he had be the wealthiest man in Jiangcheng?

    Qin Jiang felt indifferent to this and went directly back to the Qin Family home to carefully examine the Tianyuan Wanshan Map he had won at the auction.

    Soon, he discovered something unusual.

    When Qin Jiang''s True Qi came into contact with the painting, he discovered ayer of seal upon it.

    "This seal is strange. Ordinary martial artists who cultivate Inner Strength can''t sense it at all. Only cultivators who practice True Qi can detect its mystery!"

 Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Seal the Fate of the Xu Family!

    Qin Jiang''s heart trembled fiercely!

    No wonder so many people wanted to snatch this painting but ultimately had no chance to acquire it and discover its mysteries!

    "This painting could very well be a treasure left behind by a powerful cultivator!"

    Qin Jiang''s heart quivered wildly.

    "No wonder the Crazy Old Man told me I must find him..."

    The reason for Qin Jiang''s formidable strength was that he wasn''t just an ordinary martial artist; he was a cultivator!

    The realm of cultivation for cultivators differed from martial artists.

    The levels of martial artists were divided into External Strength, Inner Strength, Grandmasters of Transformation Realm, and Great Grandmasters of the Heavenly Realm!

    Whereas the realms of cultivation were divided into Body Refinement, Qi Cultivation, and the three major realms of Qi Sea...

    Though Qin Jiang''s realm was only at the peak of Qi Cultivation, he possessed strengthparable to a mid-stage martial artist in the Transformation Realm!

    The cultivation methods of cultivators were far more powerful than those of martial artists!

    They were not even on the same level...

    However, in the current age, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was depleted, and the cultivators of the world had almostpletely vanished.

    Take Qin Jiang for example: his talent was against the heavens, but after more than two years of cultivation, he was still stuck at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm due to the scarcity of the world''s spiritual energy!

    He began to gradually pour his True Qi into the scroll, breaking the invisible seal on it...

    Time passed unknowably long before his eyes lit up, "I''ve broken it!"

    He immediately extended his divine consciousness into the scroll.

    "Roar¡ª¡ª"

    A dragon''s roar-like bellow vibrated his head, buzzing violently, and then he seemed to see a golden Five-wed Golden Dragon rushing into his body. Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelBin

    A great tearing sensation ripped through his whole body, bringing with it an agonizing pain. He forcibly endured it, and the golden dragon ultimately transformed into a drop of fresh red blood, gradually merging into his bloodstream, causing his body to heat up...

    After that, the domineering power of this drop of blood refined every corner of his body.

    He experienced immense pain.

    But whether it was flesh or blood, tendons and bones, viscera, or meridians, everything became stronger...

    After one night had passed!

    Qin Jiang opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of Qi that formed a sword!

    Although his realm hadn''t improved, he could feel that... he hadpletely transformed.

    "Dragon blood?" Qin Jiang was shocked beyond measure; he hadn''t expected the secret contained within the painting to be a drop of dragon blood capable of cleansing and refurbishing one''s marrow, which utterly amazed him.

    Also, why did the Qin Family have such a treasure?

    After assimting the dragon blood, Qin Jiang felt his entire body had be lighter, and his rate of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth was now three to four times faster than before.

    "The Crazy Old Man already said my talent was monstrous enough, and now with this speed of cultivation after absorbing the dragon blood, it should be considered against the heavens, right?"

    "It seems that breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm is just around the corner!"

    After calming the excitement in his heart, Qin Jiang got up from the bed, ready to proceed to Zhao Corporation.

    He nced at his phone and discovered a new message from Heizi, a file containing all kinds of dirt on the shareholders of Zhao Corporation.

    Qin Jiang forwarded it to Zhao Yuefei right away.

    At this moment, the Xu Family was inplete disarray, plunged into crisis overnight due to the sanction issued by Longting Group, which had pushed them into a corner.

    Over the course of one night, more than a dozen partners had called to cancel their cooperation.

    Xu Jiang''s forehead was fraught with cold sweat at this moment.

    He couldn''t understand how everything had been fine, and then suddenly, Longting Group had targeted the Xu Family again?

    Seated on the sofa with a start, the Xu Family wondered...

    Had the times changed?!

 Chapter 98 The Resolve to Die!

    "Grandpa!"

    "Dad!"

    Everyone quickly went up to support him, fearing that he couldn''t withstand such a huge blow and would just kick the bucket on the spot.

    It took a while before Xu Jiang recovered.

    "Zilong, now you are the president of Xu Group, it''s up to you to solve this problem!"

    "If you don''t handle it properly, then you shouldn''t sit in that position either..."

    "And Huanhuan! You boasted earlier that Zijing could help our Xu Family soar to sess. Now that our Xu Family is facing a crisis, ask him how to help handle it!"

    "Yes!" The siblings also cursed their bad luck internally. How could a new crisis emerge as soon as they took over? They were also unlucky, but now they had no choice but to bite the bullet and step up.

    Meanwhile, at the Longting Group shareholders'' meeting, Shen Longting announced that all his shares would be transferred to Qin Jiang withoutpensation, and Qin Jiang would be the new chairman of Longting Group!

    This decision caused a huge stir at the shareholders'' meeting.

    Everyone was in disbelief!

    Longting Group was Shen Longting''s life''s work. Could he really bear to give away thepany like that?

    In disbelief!

    However, with Shen Longting''s insistence, they ultimately had no choice but to ept the reality.

    "Keep this news under wraps for now. I will announce it myself when everything is ready," he said.

    All the shareholders nodded their heads in agreement.

    At the same time, in a hospital in Jiangcheng, Xia Zhuy on the hospital bed with a bandage on his face, looking like a dead dog, his eyes devoid of any light.

    Just then, another figure walked in.

    It was a young woman.

    Dressed in purple.

    A chilling aura enveloped her entirely.

    "I heard that you failed your mission." The woman''s voice was cold as she looked at Xia Zhu.

    Read thetest on m_v-l''e|-NovelBin

    Xia Zhu''s gaze was vacant, and he didn''t speak.

    "Don''t worry, I will avenge you," Chun said indifferently.

    Xia Zhu''s eyes erupted with fierce killing intent, "Big sister, help me kill them, you must kill them!"

    "Okay," Chun said, "You rest well."

    The moment she turned around, a murderous aura boiled within her.

    For many years, the four sisters had always served by Chu Tianjiao''s side like real sisters and acted as Chu Tianjiao''s messengers outside. No one had ever dared to treat them like this.

    And Qin Jiang''s actions were undoubtedly a death wish!

    After receiving the materials, Zhao Yuefei immediately made a call to Qin Jiang, "I am going to make a move on them today. Come and help me control the scene."

    "The negotiation will take ce at Qingju Garden."

    "Sure!" Qin Jiangughed and retorted, "You dare to go to their turf. Aren''t you afraid of death?"

    Zhao Yuefei spoke nonchntly, "If one does not enter the tiger''s den, how can one catch its cubs? Besides, I am fully prepared; otherwise, why would I dare to go?"

    "I understand very well what these guys are thinking in their hearts."

    "Besides Hu Jianghai, the others are all fence-sitters; there''s nothing to be afraid of."

    Qin Jiang said tly, "Understood."

    He hung up the call immediately and then, as Zhao Yuefei had instructed, headed to Qingju Garden.

    This was Hu Jianghai''s private estate, secluded and of high prestige.

    Zhao Yuefei strode in with seven or eight bodyguards, while the high-level executives of Zhao Corporation narrowed their eyes at her arrival!

    "Mrs. Zhao, you''vee at the right time! Please, have a seat¡ª" Hu Jianghai greeted her with a smile that didn''t reach his eyes.

    Zhao Yuefei sat down with an indifferent expression.

    "Someone, serve tea to Mrs. Zhao!" Hu Jianghai sat down carelessly, his gaze locked onto Zhao Yuefei.

    "Mrs. Zhao, what do you think about the conditions I proposed earlier?"

    Zhao Yuefei, remaining detached, produced a USB drive, "Actually, I should be the one asking you. How did you consider it? Now, I am giving you an opportunity to sell all your shares to me and exit the management of Zhao Corporation. The other option is to choose to go to jail."

    Everyone''s faces changed drastically!

    Hu Jianghai''s face darkened, "Are you trying to scare me? Do you think you can still get out of here safely today?"

    "I came fully prepared," Zhao Yuefei said expressionlessly, opening her jacket.

    She revealed a vest covered in bombs and held a hand grenade in her hand.

    "Want to kill me? No need for that. Do you think I''m afraid to die? Now, you have five minutes to consider. Sign the share transfer contract and then get lost."

    "Otherwise, we all die together."

    The expressions on everyone''s faces changed dramatically!

    Had this woman gone mad?

    Was sheing here with the determination to die?

    "Mrs. Zhao, there''s no need to take it this far!" At that moment, a yful voice rang out as Qin Jiang walked in leisurely from outside, "I''m here, aren''t I?"

 Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Support!

    Zhao Yuefei looked back, and sure enough, Qin Jiang had arrived.

    This guy...

    A rare trace of a faint smile appeared on her icy pretty face.

    "Huff¡ª"

    Taking in a deep breath, Hu Jianghai''s face grew particrly gloomy!

    "Kid, what are you doing here?"

    "I''m here to watch Mrs. Zhao negotiate, is that not allowed?" Qin Jiang replied indifferently.

    "I''m telling you, the matters inside are not something you can meddle in. If you don''t want to die, then scram quickly. Don''t go looking for death, understand?"

    "This is not something you can interfere with."

    "Huff!"

    Taking in a deep breath, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Qin Jiang''s mouth, "Is that so?"

    "The Zhao Family entrusted me with the care of Mrs. Zhao back in the day. Now, you''re asking me to leave, isn''t that making things difficult for me? The thing I fear the least is threats!"

    Hu Jianghai''s gaze became terribly cold.

    Afterward, he gave a signal with his eyes.

    "Swoosh¡ª"

    Seven or eight men immediately stepped forward, each revealing a gun in their hands, pointing at Qin Jiang''s head.

    Zhao Yuefei stood up, slowly pressed down on the grenade in her hand...

    "Hu Jianghai, I''ll give you three seconds to immediately tell them to get lost!"

    "You!" Hu Jianghai''s eyelids twitched upon seeing Zhao Yuefei like this, and he stepped backward.

    Zhao Yuefei pressed on step by step.

    Her beautiful face was cold as frost.

    "Three! Two!"

    "One..."

    "Put them down, drop the guns immediately!"

    Hu Jianghai shouted in terror, not wanting to die.

    At the moment when those men let their guard down...

    "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

    Silver needles flew out of Qin Jiang''s hands, precisely hitting those gunmen.

    And then.

    A bunch of handguns immediately fell onto the ground!

    Qin Jiang strode forward.

    Hu Jianghai and those shareholders'' faces turned ashen, like a pile of dung.

    "Kid, if you dare..."

    Hu Jianghai had not finished speaking when arge hand had already tightly grasped his throat and flung him away!

    All at once, he felt his body shatter like a fall, copsing weakly to the ground.

    "Don''t be too arrogant!"

    The other shareholders roared in anger as they stood up.

    Qin Jiang threw a punch, and the shareholder closest to him was struck, bleeding from the head.

    "Crash!"

    Another wave of footsteps approached.

    All the people from within the vi swarmed over, easily a few hundred strong.

    With an overwhelming aura and a murderous air.

    A dense crowd formed a human wall surrounding Qin Jiang and Zhao Yuefei, their eyes radiating a fierce light.

    Hu Jianghai snorted coldly, "You really think I came unprepared? Zhao Yuefei, don''t think you''re the only one with the courage to fight to the death, I have it too!"

    "Today, if you''ve got the nerve, perish with me!"

    "Otherwise, step down right now and let me take that position, or else I will never rest easy today! Did you think I dared to cause such a mess without any support behind me?"

    "The person backing me is not someone you can afford to offend. Now, you have only two choices before you!"

    "Either die!"

    "Or hand over the control!"

    Seeing so many people surrounding them, Zhao Yuefei also became somewhat panicked, but Qin Jiang remained calm and collected, his gaze undisturbed as he watched everything unfold.

    Suddenly, he snapped his fingers!

    "Everyonee out!"

    "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

    In an instant, the sound of cutting through the air rang out one after another, and a group of ck-d figures appeared out of nowhere!

    The murderous intent in their eyes was fierce, even more intense than the oppressive aura brought by Hu Jianghai and his people. It was so heavy it could suffocate someone.

    Immediately following that...

    "Dragon Gate is here to provide support!"

    "Jiangcheng''s Liu Hu, bringing reinforcements!"

    Two shouts suddenly erupted, and then, arge wave of people swarmed in from outside the door, enclosing Hu Jianghai and his grouppletely like a tidal wave!

    "Hiss!"

    Hu Jianghai and the shareholders all revealed a look of shock! Even Dragon Gate and Liu Hu were involved? This was indeed going to be a difficult situation to deal with.

    "Lord Qin!"

    Liu Hu respectfully made his way to stand behind Qin Jiang.

    Hu Jianghai''s face was ashen, already thinking of retreat. Because if a fight started today, then no matter what, he wouldn''t be able to fly his way out¡ªeven with wings. His own people were nowhere near enough to even fill the gaps between the opponents'' teeth.

    Qin Jiang asked indifferently, "Tell me, who is backing you up?"

    Hu Jianghai responded coldly, "I will not tell you."

    The forces behind him were not ordinary, how dare he betray them. Once he spilled the beans, presumably, he would be the first to die.

    Zhao Yuefei stepped forward, pinching a hand grenade, "Hu Jianghai, if you don''t talk, you might not be able to leave here today."

    "I..."

    Hu Jianghai''s scalp went numb all of a sudden.

    How could he speak?

    Caught between a rock and a hard ce!

    "Since you won''t talk, then this grenade is a gift for you!" Zhao Yuefei threw the hand grenade she held.

    "Ahh¡ª" Terrified, Hu Jianghai''s legs went soft, and he screamed frantically fleeing, while the shareholders turned pale and threw themselves on the ground, desperately covering their ears.

    But the grenade didn''t explode; instead, it just released some smoke.

    "Cowards, a bunch of useless trash¡ªwith such cowardice, you dare to provoke me?"

    "Zhao Yuefei, you dare y me?" Hu Jianghai was furious upon realizing he''d been tricked.

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang gave him a p across the face.

    "Tell the truth, and I''ll let you go!"

    Hu Jianghai ground his teeth furiously, "Impossible!"

    Qin Jiang signaled with his eyes and Liu Hu immediately stepped forward, grabbed him, and took out a dagger. Without saying another word, he brought it straight to Hu Jianghai''s throat!

    Hu Jianghai, terrified out of his wits, went limp instantly, "I truly don''t know who the person is, all I know is, they have great power and can offer me a lot of help..."

    "Mrs. Zhao, I know I was wrong!"

    He fell to his knees with a thud, utterly resigned.

    Zhao Yuefei, seeing this, knew this worthless creature really didn''t know the origins of the other party.

    She took a deep breath and said, "Sign the contract."

    Upon hearing this, Hu Jianghai, despite his great reluctance, could only sign the contract.

    "Do I need to teach you what to do?" Zhao Yuefei swept a cold nce towards the other shareholders.

    Dejected, they could only sign the contract too.

    "Zhao Yuefei, you will regret this one day." Hu Jianghai dropped a harsh warning before leaving.

    Zhao Yuefei simply smiled without a word. Discover more stories at m,v l''e-NovelBin

    Qin Jiang frowned slightly, speaking calmly, "I think, this bunch, they''re still a threat. You''d better be careful."

    Zhao Yuefei sat down, let out a sigh of relief, and looked into the distance, "Don''t worry, he won''t get the chance, I''m not going to be soft-hearted like my parents were..."

    Outside in the car, Hu Jianghai got in and angrily drove off from Qingju Garden, cursing under his breath, but he hadn''t gotten far!

    "Bang¡ª" Suddenly, there was a loud whooshing sound by his ear!

    Immediately following that...

    The car''s front windshield exploded!

    "Ah! Don''t kill me..." He screamed in terror, a cold sweat covering his body, and he immediately sped up the car, his heart pounding furiously.

    And on a high-rise building across the street, a dark muzzle of a rifle slowly moved... then, the finger on the trigger suddenly pulled!

    "Bang¡ª"

    The bullet whistled out!

 Chapter 100 Transformation Realm Grandmaster!?

    The sniper rifle''s bullet traced a straight, long line through the air.

    Several hundred meters away,

    in a car that was speeding along, a ssh of blood blossomed!

    Immediately afterward, the car smashed into the roadside railing and rolled over several times. Inside the car, a trickle of blood slowly seeped out¡­

    "It''s a wrap!"

    Seeing this scene, a man on the roof slowly retracted the barrel of the gun and disappeared from the rooftop in the blink of an eye.

    After everyone had left, Qin Jiang in the courtyard finally turned to Zhao Yuefei and asked, "You still had a backup n?"

    "Obviously." Zhao Yuefei smiled, removing what were presumably bombs from her body, "Did you really think I would foolishly venture into this dangerous ce alone?"

    "Hu Jianghai not only wants what I have, but he also wants to kill me. Do you think I would leave this ce safely from such a viin?"

    Qin Jiang gave her a thumbs up, "Nicely done."

    Zhao Yuefei''s growth was a good thing. Being too clean in this world was not necessarily a good thing. One should employ extraordinary measures against those who posed a threat.

    Just like Hu Jianghai, who had fired a gun today¡ªif he were to leave unharmed, then who would ensure Zhao Yuefei''s safety afterward?

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "Just now, with so many guns pointed at you, even if you had a n, it was still very dangerous. Putting yourself in jeopardy is never a good thing, no matter how you look at it."

    "Compared to that, I''m more afraid of the Zhao Corporation, built by my parents, falling into someone else''s hands. Other than me, an orphan, the Zhao Corporation is the only proof they ever lived in this world..."

    Her voice carried a hint of mncholy.

    "As for the person behind Hu Jianghai, they will pay sooner orter, no rush."

    Qin Jiang nodded nonchntly.

    "By the way, I remember Muge had signed a contract with the Xu Group before, right?"

    "Correct." Zhao Yuefei nodded, "What about it?"

    "The Xu Family reneged on their promise and didn''t make Muge the president of the Xu Group as agreed. Instead, they kicked Muge out of the Xu Family. Technically, the contract was signed with you by Muge, and now the Xu Group has changed their responsible person..."

    "That should be grounds for awsuit, right?"

    Zhao Yuefei paused, "Yes."

    Qin Jiang grinned, "Then let them pay a price."

    Zhao Yuefei nodded.

    "Alright, since you are safe, I''ll take my leave first." Qin Jiang stood up, ready to leave.

    But as he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man slowly approaching.

    The man was dressed in a long robe.

    His eyes were icy cold.

    His thin, tall frame seemed to contain a tremendous explosive force that sent chills down one''s spine.

    "This guy is no ordinary man!"

    Qin Jiang was inwardly on alert.

    Zhao Yuefei also sensed something amiss, feeling a murderous auraing from behind her.

    She turned slowly and upon seeing the middle-aged man, her gaze immediately turned solemn.

    "Huang Tianji!"

    This man was none other than Jiangcheng''s second-ranked Martial Arts Master, Huang Tianji.

    A powerful aura erupted from him.

    Being his target was like being stalked by a wild wolf.

    "Zhao Yuefei, Qin Jiang?" Huang Tianji''s voice was husky.

    "That''s right." Qin Jiang spoke evenly, "Are you here to seek revenge for your disciple?"

    "More precisely, for my son." Huang Tianji''s murderous intent was chilling, "Hu Jianghai said, you killed my son."

    Zhao Yuefei thought to herself, rumors had it that Zhang Tianxu was the illegitimate son Huang Tianji had outside. It now appeared to be true, and no wonder he hade in person.

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Hu Jianghai incited him toe after us, and then he died without knowing why. Shouldn''t you be settling the score with Hu Jianghai?"

    "All I know is that you killed him. As for why he came after you, that''s not my concern. I will take your heads to avenge my son."

    "Now, will you take your own lives, or do I have to do it myself?"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t help but sneer, "You''re no match for me, and to make a move would be to seek death."

    "Funny." Huang Tianji channeled his Inner Strength into his palm, and before the shocked eyes of Zhao Yuefei, his palm suddenly expanded, bing sharp like the talons of an eagle.

    "Eagle w Skills. Apparently, a master of external martial arts!" Qin Jiang scoffed.

    Huang Tianji''s movements were swift and fierce, attacking like the wind. His talon-like hands, as strong as steel, reached Qin Jiang in an instant, generating a fierce wind.

    Qin Jiang easily dodged!

    While they were both at the peak of Inner Strength, Huang Tianji''s ability was much stronger than Xia Zhu''s.

    His w strikes tore through the air, each one deadly.

    Qin Jiang''s gaze hardened, and suddenly he seized Huang Tianji''s wrist, but Huang Tianji lifted his leg and kicked towards Qin Jiang''s lower body!

    Qin Jiang easily lifted his leg in response!

    The two collided¡­

    "Bang!"

    Huang Tianji''s leg bones shattered, contorting his face in pain.

    The attack from his hands became even more fierce, aiming at Qin Jiang''s throat at an awkward angle!

    Qin Jiang caught his arm!

    Both men exerted their force at the same time.

    "Crack¡ª"

    Qin Jiang effortlessly broke both of Huang Tianji''s arms!

    "You¡­"

    Huang Tianji was shocked, "A Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm?!"

 Chapter 101 Im Saving Him!

    His face filled with shock, the young man before him was a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm? Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to so effortlessly break his powerful offensive!

    In the whole of Jiangcheng, there was not a single grandmaster level powerhouse, yet this guy turns out to be a grandmaster?

    This was beyond his belief!

    However, in his moment of astonishment, Qin Jiang expelled a stream of True Qi from his fingertips!

    "Pffff¡ª"

    In an instant, Huang Tianji''s body was sent flying, a bloody hole appearing in his chest!

    "External release of energy! Indeed, a grandmaster powerhouse... I couldn''t have expected that I, Huang Tianji, would actually die at the hands of a greenhorn, what a twist of fate!"

    He sighed deeply towards the sky, his voice filled with unwillingness.

    Qin Jiang''s face remained expressionless as he moved in a sh, pping his palm against Huang Tianji''s chest and knocking him into the pond. Water sshed up, immediately submerging him into the pond...

    "Alright, that''s a wrap."

    After dealing with Huang Tianji, Qin Jiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this man was a dangerous character; he could not leave any living mouth behind, otherwise endless troubles would ensue.

    Zhao Yuefei had be ustomed to such scenes and was no longer surprised.

    "Tonight, I will teach a lesson to the Xu Group for you," she said calmly. "Now, it''s time for me to return to Zhao Corporation and secure my position."

    "The death of Hu Jianghai should serve as a warning to those people, deterring them from rash actions."

    Qin Jiang nodded, "Okay, the rest is up to you to handle."

    He didn''t dy any further and left the ce right away.

    While driving back, suddenly, a dump truck ahead lost control, broke through the barrier, and crashed directly into a Porsche in front of Qin Jiang!

    "Bang¡ª"

    Although the Porsche tried to dodge urgently, it was still harshly hit by the dump truck. It flipped several times on the roadside beforeing to a stop with thick smoke billowing from the front.

    Qin Jiang quickly brought his car to a screeching halt as the crowd ahead had already be chaotic.

    Qin Jiang frowned, then got out of the car and saw that the driver inside had passed out, while in the rear seat, a pregnant woman with her head covered in blood struggled to look out.

    "Please save my child..."

    Qin Jiang frowned and eventually let out a light sigh before stepping out of the car and approaching the vehicle.

    The people around just huddled to one side, discussing the situation but no one dared to step forward to help.

    The car had rolled over several times and was now emitting thick smoke. Were they trying to court death by approaching?

    "Please save my child..." The tears flowed from the middle-aged woman''s eyes as she then fixed her gaze on Qin Jiang, who quickly stepped forward and said, "Don''t worry, don''t panic, I will make sure to get you out safely."

    After Qin Jiang spoke, he quickly assessed the situation on-site before beginning the rescue.

    Seeing this, the bystanders sighed, "This young man, still so young, getting involved in such a situation, he''s bound to end up in trouble!"

    "And it''s a thankless task at that!"

    "If the family memberse after him, that''ll be the end..."

    "Exactly! And besides, the car is about to explode, and he''s still daring to do this, isn''t he just asking for a longer life?"

    The onlookers expressed their concerns.

    But at that moment, Qin Jiang slowly pried the car door open!

    "Crack¡ª"

    The door was ripped off.

    They were all stunned by the scene before them. Was this young man really so forceful?

    He was truly impressive!

    At this moment, apart from calling him impressive, they couldn''t think of any other words to describe him.

    The visual impact was too strong.

    Qin Jiang had easily torn off the car door; this was not something that could be done with ordinary strength.

    The voices of the people''s discussions suddenly quieted down a bit as they watched the scene nervously!

    Qin Jiang checked to see if any part of the car was crushing the middle-aged woman''s body. After confirming there were no other serious issues, he carefully carried her out and ced her on the ground about twenty to thirty meters away,ying her t.

    When Qin Jiang wanted to go back to save the other driver, the middle-aged woman suddenly grabbed his hand and begged, "Young man, please, save my child in my belly!"

    "Don''t worry, I''ll do my best," Qin Jiang reassured her and then returned to the ident scene.

    "Thank you..." The middle-aged woman sighed with relief andpletely passed out!

    Qin Jiang approached the car.

    By now, mes had already begun to engulf the vehicle. Anxious, and without care for anything else, he quickly tore off the car door and, after surveying the situation inside, he pulled the driver out!

    "Be careful, it''s going to explode!"

    A warning voice rang out from the crowd!

    Qin Jiang saw that the mes were fiercely burning on the car''s hood...

    His pupils contracted and then he bolted!

    "Bang bang bang bang!!!"

    Behind him, a series of explosions erupted, the sound piercing the ears of the onlookers as countless metal fragments were sted in all directions with the force of the explosions!

    "Whoosh¡ª"

    Feeling the heat wave sweeping over him from behind, Qin Jiang leaped forward, rolling across the ground!

    But still, he was affected by the powerful st, and a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth!

    He got up from the ground and, seeing the driver was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Qin Jiang checked the driver''s breathing and, after applying acupuncture to stop the bleeding, he stopped to assess the situation.

    Next, he moved to the pregnant woman.

    However, her condition was far from ideal at the moment.

    So, his brows furrowed deeply.

    This was a problem!

    Thinking this, he couldn''t help but sigh softly.

    What else could he do in such a situation?

    The pregnant woman was still okay, but the baby in her belly was a different story, just the slightest mistake could lead to disaster. Qin Jiang carefully lifted the clothing from the woman''s abdomen.

    Immediately, he applied needles to stop her bleeding.

    Then, under the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Qin Jiang began to stabilize the woman''s vital energies.

    Wisps of True Qi flowed into the woman''s body through the silver needles.

    Soon, both the woman''s and the child''s vital signs began to steadily normalize.

    "Swoosh!" A Maybach braked suddenly nearby like lightning, and a middle-aged man hurried out of the car, "Qianqian!"

    Seeing his wife on the ground and noticing Qin Jiang had lifted her clothing, the middle-aged man''s anger surged in an instant!

    "What are you doing?"

    He roared, "Are you trying to kill my wife? Do you realize how dangerous this is?"

    Seething, he went up to shove Qin Jiang.

    Caught off guard, Qin Jiang was pushed away. He turned around coldly and said, "I''m saving her!"

    "Saving her? There are professional medical responders for that! We don''t need you messing around! She''s pregnant! Can you take responsibility for any issues that happen?"

    Remembering that Qin Jiang had good intentions, the middle-aged man forced down his rage and said, "Get out of here now, I won''t argue with you!"

    After speaking, he squatted down beside his wife, frantically checking her breathing.

    Although upset by the misunderstanding, Qin Jiang didn''t bother to say anything more and just got into his car and left the scene.

    Soon, several ambnces arrived, sirens wailing.

    "Director Liu!"

    The medical responders immediately showed respect upon seeing the middle-aged man!

    "Please take care of my wife," the middle-aged man said urgently, "take her to the hospital quickly, thank you all so much..."

    "Please, you must save them both!"

    The lead doctor said, "We''ll do a quick check on your wife and child first."

    They squatted down beside her.

    Suddenly, the doctor showed a look of astonishment, "How is it that after such a severe car ident, the breathing of both wife and fetus... is so stable?"

 Chapter 102 Chunlan!

    Hearing this, Liu Hao was stunned, "You... what did you say?"

    "Director Liu, rest assured, your wife and the child in her womb, both are unharmed."

    "So, no need to worry."

    "Right now, their vital signs are all very normal, there''s simply no ident at all."

    Hearing this Liu Hao waspletely baffled ¨C what the hell was going on?

    "They received such serious injuries, and you tell me they''re not in danger? Are you joking with me?"

    The doctor gave a wry smile and said, "But, that''s what the monitor is showing! I''m helpless too!"

    "By the way, these silver needles on madam''s body ¨C who inserted them? Although I''m trained in Western medicine, I''ve also studied Chinese medicine for a brief period, so I do have some understanding of acupuncture. The person who administered these needles must be incredible."

    Hearing the doctor''s words, Liu Hao''s face showed shock.

    "Do you mean to say that these needles saved my wife?"

    Enjoy exclusive chapters from mvl

    "Exactly," the doctor nodded, "At the moment, that''s the most likely possibility."

    Liu Hao was startled. Does that mean it was that young man from earlier who saved his wife?

    The doctor then sighed and said, "Your wife''s injuries were indeed very severe; she had suffered a significant blow to the head, and the wound wasrge. If it wasn''t treated in time, she might''ve lost too much blood."

    "What''s more, the most critical thing is the child in her womb; I feared it could not be saved. The person who administered the needles could be said to have saved both your wife and your child!"

    Liu Hao felt a pang of regret.

    It seems he had been too hasty just now and misunderstood his wife''s savior!

    Just then, Lu Qian, who was on the ground, also slowly came to.

    "Qianqian!"

    Liu Hao rushed to hold her hand.

    Lu Qian struggled to open her eyes and said, "Hao, where did that young man go? He''s truly our savior! You must find him and thank him properly¡­ Otherwise, we would have died inside that car¡­"

    Lu Qian''s voice was very weak.

    Liu Hao hurriedly said, "That benefactor has already left, but it doesn''t matter, I''ll find him and personally thank him. You don''t need to worry about anything else."

    Upon hearing this, Lu Qian felt relieved, nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and started to rest.

    "Hurry! Take my wife to the hospital immediately, get a blood transfusion, and slowly wait for her to recover!"

    Liu Hao was very anxious; with Lu Qian nearing her delivery period, how could he not be worried about such a sudden event? After all, they had been trying for a child for over a decade without sess.

    They had finally obtained the fruit of their love¡­

    And now he had no idea whether they could keep it!

    A crowd of doctors quickly moved Lu Qian onto a stretcher and rushed off.

    Heading straight for the hospital.

    Meanwhile, Qin Jiang, who was driving home, felt a bit sullen. After all, he had risked his life to save others, only to be misunderstood like this, even if he was broad-minded.

    He too felt somewhat distressed at this moment.

    Upon arriving home, Qin Yan saw a young woman standing outside his door.

    In Qin Yan''s gaze, there was a touch of sternness.

    He stared at the woman before him, his face showing little emotion.

    "Are you Qin Jiang?"

    Qin Jiang asked coldly, "Yes, what about it?"

    "Good," Chun said indifferently, "I came here today to kill you, did you know?"

    Qin Jiang''s expression grew grave.

    "And then?"

    "Your family lives here, and around, there are seven people you sent to protect your family, right?"

    Qin Jiang felt a shiver run down his spine.

    "Who are you? What have you done to my mother and sister?"

    Chun spoke calmly, "Rx, I didn''t go up to your ce. I just took care of those annoying ones temporarily, they were really irritating. Today, I came here purely to take your life."

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang said coldly, "You do have principles, not going after my family."

    "Otherwise, you''d already be a corpse by now."

    At these words, Chun replied dispassionately, "Rivers andkes have rules; cmities should not extend to rtives. I understand this much. Most importantly, I hold no grudge against them and no one has paid me to kill them."

    "There''s no need to dirty your own hands."

    Qin Jiang suddenly narrowed his eyes, "There seems to be a special power within you... Is it... poison?"

    Upon hearing this, Chun''s expression immediately turned icy cold.

    "Swoosh¡ª"

    Her body lunged forward at high speed!

    The icy cold aura of killing intent had already reached Qin Jiang in an instant.

    Qin Jiang''s gaze slightly darkened, but now was not the time for hesitation, as he mobilized his True Qi without dy.

    "Bang¡ª"

    The two exchanged a palm strike!

    In an instant, Chun''s body was forced backward, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

    Then!

    She rapidly shot out seven or eight streaks of Inner Strength, tearing through the air and killing from a distance; this was a hallmark of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned sharp.

    "Swoosh¡ª"

    He sprang up, dodging these fierce sword energies, and several holes appeared in the wall behind him. Following that, he struck out with his own palm.

    The fierce palm wind swept out!

    In the blink of an eye!

    "Crack crack crack!!"

    A series of sonic booms made Chun''s body stagger backward, as she clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

    "This guy, how can he be so strong?"

    She was astounded in her heart.

    Qin Jiangnded, standing with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, "I can cure the poison in you."

    Chun''s delicate body trembled slightly.

    After that, Qin Jiang scoffed, "That way, you wouldn''t need to be controlled by them anymore, right?"

    "What... are you talking about?" A hint of panic shed through Chun''s eyes.

    How did this guy know so much?

    Who on earth was he!

    Without saying much, Qin Jiang flicked several silver needles that flew out and then pierced into Chun''s acupoints.

    Instantly, Chun let out a soft grunt and leaned against the wall, with a trace of ck mist seemingly emerging on her face.

    But before she could react, Qin Jiang waved his hand, and those silver needles were all controlled and returned to his hand.

    This movepletely stunned Chun.

    Finally, she raised her eyes and looked deeply at Qin Jiang, asking, "What do you want?"

    Qin Jiang''s expression remained calm, "I heard that Chu Tianjiao has four principal maids who act as his spokespeople outside, especially the eldest Chun, who is also a Martial Arts Grandmaster, with talent no less than those geniuses."

    "You are Chun?"

    He observed her attire, which was almost the same as the one Xia Zhu had worn before.

    Chun sneered, "You seem to know a lot, and your guesses are very urate. Yes, I am indeed Chun. Since you''re telling me so much, what do you want?"

    Qin Jiang said inly, "When the timees, I''ll tell you. Scram¡ª"

    Chun gave Qin Jiang a profound look, then, clutching her chest, she vanished from his sight in the blink of an eye.

    Qin Jiang''s eyes flickered; Chun was under Chu Tianjiao''s control, hence she served him. And as a powerful talent herself, why would she submit to others?

    It was by grasping this point that he acted as he did.

    Moreover, if Chun had really wanted to harm his family, she probably would have attacked his home by now; this woman was not as ruthless as Xia Zhu.

    And in Xia Zhu''s body, Qin Jiang had not sensed that poison.

    In hers, he had.

    Letting her go, in the future, this woman could be of great use.

    "However, this ce really isn''t safe, anyone dares to break in."

    "It seems it''s time to find a new ce to live."

 Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Zhang Haoyuan

    Turning Chun against us will be a major weapon for us in the future.

    Qin Jiang returned home as if nothing had happened.

    Qin Sisi was now able to move around freely and easily, her body no longer felt as stiff as before, and so a smile appeared on her face.

    Now when Qin Jiang came home, she would proactively greet him.

    Seeing her sister''s mood gradually brighten, a smile also gradually formed on Qin Jiang''s face.

    "Brother, in a few days, I want to go back to school. I''ve been on leave for three months. If I don''t return to school soon, I''ll fall behind in my studies," Qin Sisi said.

    "Okay."

    "I''ll make up a few more doses of medicine for you, and soon, you''ll bepletely recovered."

    "Yes!" Qin Sisi nodded again and again, her eyes full of longing and anticipation.

    Wen Wenling came out from the inside and said, "Jiang, I heard that recently there have been some strangers with unknown origins appearing near our home. Be careful, those guys keep showing up here for some reason."

    It must be said that Wen Wenling''s intuition was quite sharp.

    Qin Jiang nodded, "Don''t worry."

    Returning to his room, he made a call to Shen Longting, "Shen, where is the best residential area in Jiangcheng? I want one of those with the highest level of security, where ordinary people can''t just walk in, to ensure my family''s safety."

    Shen Longting pondered for a moment and responded, "If it''s really necessary to discuss this, Jiangcheng does have such a ce, but the conditions for entry are very strict."

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang asked, "Tell me more."

    Enjoy exclusive adventures from mvl

    "Tianlong Bay is a neighborhood developed by the Zhang Family, where many high-ranking officials and nobles live. After retiring, the influential figures from Jiangcheng who made their mark tend to live there."

    "Inside this neighborhood live those who, without making any noise, possess the power to turn the world upside down, and the developer of Tianlong Bay is Mayor Zhang''s brother, Zhang Haoyuan."

    "And this Zhang Haoyuan is an even more formidable entity than Mayor Zhang."

    "It is indeed very difficult to move in there!"

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang furrowed his brow, "Do you have any connections there?"

    "Difficult..." Shen Longting said with a wry smile, "Master, you must understand how prestigious a vi district is that has two hundred fully armed guards and 24-hour patrols."

    "As a businessman, I may wield some power in the secr world, but I''m still not presentable in the eyes of those big shots. I reckon they see me as nothing more than a minor annoyance."

    "However, I can ask around for you."

    Qin Jiang frowned. This was evidently a difficult task for Shen Longting, and it was probably causing him quite some trouble.

    "No need, I''ll ask Zhang Haosheng myself," Qin Jiang said smilingly.

    Previously, he had saved Zhang Haosheng''s life, so Zhang owed him a favor. It was uncertain if that favor would be sufficient for him to secure a ce in Tianlong Bay.

    Nevertheless, for his family''s safety, he had to try his best.

    Afterwards, Qin Jiang dialed Zhang Haosheng''s number.

    "Hello, Mr. Qin!" Zhang Haosheng''s tone was very respectful, and he was very polite to Qin Jiang.

    After all, it was Qin Jiang who had saved his life.

    He was an ambitious man with many things yet to aplish. He didn''t want to die just yet, and when he was in despair, the emergence of Qin Jiang gave him a glimmer of hope.

    Qin Jiang got straight to the point, "Mayor Zhang, I wanted to inquire if there are any vacancies in Tianlong Bay?"

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haosheng was surprised, then immediately said, "Mr. Qin, rest assured, I will call my brother right now to see what the situation is. But..."

    "The people living in Tianlong Bay are all big yers, many of whom were no less remarkable than I am. There are even more powerful figures everywhere."

    "This ce is quite special."

    "I personally cannot make a decision on this matter."

    "Alright!" Qin Jiang nodded, "I appreciate your effort!"

    About thirty minutester, Zhang Haosheng called back and said, "Mr. Qin, I have the information you requested, but my older brother has a condition."

    "Go ahead," Qin Jiang said.

    Zhang Haosheng sounded worried as he said, "Here''s the situation... Recently, my niece had an ident while ying outside and has been in aa ever since."

    "Everything seems normal, but she just won''t wake up, and we don''t know what''s wrong."

    "Lately, my brother has been very troubled about this and has even invited numerous doctors to help¡­ but they can''t diagnose the issue."

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang asked indifferently, "And where are they now?"

    Zhang Haosheng replied, "My brother was in Jinling looking for famous doctors to no avail and has now returned to Jiangcheng. They are currently in Tianlong Bay."

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang said, "Isn''t that convenient?"

    "Does this mean you agree, Mr. Qin?" Zhang Haosheng was overjoyed.

    "Of course," Qin Jiang said calmly, "You do me a favor, and I help you. It''s only logical."

    "Great, great, great!" Zhang Haosheng nodded repeatedly, "I wille to pick you up right away."

    In less than half an hour, Zhang Haosheng rushed over.

    Qin Jiang got into the car with him and headed towards Tianlong Bay.

    Upon reaching the exterior of Tianlong Bay.

    Qin Jiang couldn''t help but be amazed; this ce was indeed beyond the reach of even Shen Longting''s influence¡ªremarkable standards.

    Tianlong Bay was a vast ring of vis around a mountain.

    Built against the mountain.

    Majestic and imposing.

    Most importantly, the two lines of armed guards at the entrance stood rigidly there, guarding the gate, indeed giving a tremendous psychological impact.

    Such standards were truly shocking.

    However, considering who lived inside, it was no surprise.

    After all, every person living there was important and held an intimidating status.

    Zhang Haosheng brought Qin Jiang in, and after going through security, they entered Tianlong Bay.

    Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a jacket and looking authoritative strode toward them, "Haosheng!"

    "Big Brother!"

    After the brothers exchanged a few words of greeting, Zhang Haoyuan immediately turned his gaze toward Qin Jiang, "You must be Mr. Qin?"

    "That''s correct," Qin Jiang nodded.

    "I''ve heard that Mr. Qin has exceptional medical skills. May I ask, what''s your confidence level in dealing with this kind of difficult and mysterious ailment?" Zhang Haoyuan asked eagerly.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Ny percent."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoyuan thought the young man was overly confident. He hadn''t even seen the patient and was already iming to be ny percent sure of a cure? That seemed exaggerated!

    Zhang Haosheng quickly interjected, "Big brother, Mr. Qin is very capable. In my opinion, let''s allow him to take a look first. If he says he''s confident, he must have some assurance."

    "Okay."

    Hearing this, Zhang Haoyuan was somewhat helpless but agreed.

    Although skeptical, he had no other choice at the moment.

    "Please, Mr. Qin¡ª" Concerned over his daughter''s illness and despite his high position, Zhang Haoyuan lowered his stance and invited Qin Jiang inside.

 Chapter 104 Soul Lost!

    Afterward, they went straight into the Tianlong Bay No.1 vi.

    The vi looked high-end.

    It was built with an antique charm.

    Quite distinctive.

    Moreover, it was equipped with many high-tech products, which made Qin Jiang sigh; these upper-ss people really knew how to live it up.

    Zhang Haoyuan led Qin Jiang all the way to a room.

    On a bed, a stunningly beautiful young womany with her eyes closed, peacefully sleeping there, seemingly without any problems.

    But Qin Jiang''s brows gradually furrowed.

    He walked forward and said indifferently, "How long has Miss Zhang been like this?"

    "Half a month now..." Zhang Haoyuan felt helpless as he sighed, "All vital signs are normal, the hospital couldn''t find anything wrong, and it''s different from the usual vegetative state."

    "It''s really frustrating."

    Qin Jiang said tly, "Miss Zhang is not in a vegetative state. She''s just missing something."

    Zhang Haoyuan was curious, "What?"

    "Her soul." Qin Jiang announced startlingly.

    This left both Zhang brothers dumbfounded. Souls? What was all this about?

    Zhang Haoyuan''s face darkened, "Mr. Qin, are you joking with us?"

    As a firm materialist, he didn''t believe in such supernatural talk.

    Qin Jiang''s words made him doubt Qin Jiang''s professional integrity.

    After all, such things should not be spoken of casually!

    They had to be responsible!

    Qin Jiang replied nonchntly, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Miss Zhang is missing the Heavenly Soul and the Earthly Soul from her Three Souls and Seven Spirits, which is why she''s in this unconscious state now."

    Zhang Haoyuan''s face turned ashen, "Mr. Qin, you''re a doctor, you shouldn''t indulge in such superstitious nonsense, should you? I believe you''re also an educated man!"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "There are too many things in this world that can''t be exined. It''s just that you can''t understand them. I will only say this once, whether you believe it or not is your own concern."

    Zhang Haosheng also looked troubled. He had thought that inviting Qin Jiang over might help with the treatment, but with what Qin Jiang had just said, how could they believe him?

    Awkward.

    Extremely awkward.

    Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Old Zhang, I''m back."

    Then, a middle-aged woman with a worried expression on her face pushed the door open and entered.

    Behind her, a young man followed.

    As well as an old man.

    That old man was not tall, quite short, giving off a somewhat eerie vibe.

    "Liu Yuan, you''re here." Seeing the young man, Zhang Haoyuan''s face rxed somewhat, "You''ve really worked hard during this time, thank you for the trouble."

    "It''s not hard work, Uncle. Shuyun and I are good friends, so I should help when she''s in trouble, and besides, it was us who asked her out to y that day. If it weren''t for me..."

    He looked guilt-ridden.

    "This is not your fault." Zhang Haoyuan sighed, "She was the one who was not careful while driving."

    Liu Yuan said, "Uncle, this is Master Quan, a renowned figure in the field of difficult andplex diseases on the jianghu. He has a lot of experience and might be able to help with Shuyun''s condition."

    Hearing this, Zhang Haoyuan nodded slightly.

    "What is the master''s specialty?"

    "Mystical arts," the old man said lightly.

    "Mystical arts?" Zhang Haoyuan was bewildered. It seemed to be the same kind of talk as Qin Jiang''s.

    Could it be that his daughter really encountered some mysterious circumstance?

    If that was the case, it would be really troubling.

    "Then, please, both of you, take a look." He said respectfully.

    Mrs. Zhang nced around the room, noticing Qin Jiang and Zhang Haosheng were also there. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Old Zhang, this is..."

    "A young miracle doctor," Zhang Haoyuan introduced, "my younger brother brought him over."

    After ncing at Qin Jiang, Mrs. Zhang didn''t pay much attention. So young, he probably wasn''t that capable.

    "Liu Yuan, please have the master take a look quickly."

    She was a picture of urgency.

    However, Qin Jiang scrutinized the two of them carefully.

    Master Quan, hunched over, stepped forward and directly deduced, "Miss Zhang has lost her Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul, which is why she has fallen into thisa. However, this is not a simple matter, old I..."

    He feigned hesitation.

    Zhang Haoyuan immediately said, "Master, money is negotiable, as long as my daughter can wake up safe and sound."

    Hearing this, Master Quan nodded, "Rest assured, it''s just a matter of getting down to business."

    Liu Yuan also looked indifferent, smiling, "Uncle, you can rx, the person I invited is absolutely reliable."

    After that, Master Quan performed a series of actions beside Zhang Shuyun.

    "Spirit, return!"

    Following Master Quan''smand, he bit through at that moment3, and marked Zhang Shuyun''s forehead!

    Then, that drop of blood immediately merged into Zhang Shuyun''s body!

    "This..."

    This miraculous scene left Zhang Haoyuan and the otherspletely astonished!

    It seemed that the master did indeed have some skills!

    However, Qin Jiang suddenly shouted coldly, "What are you doing? Even if you manage to retrieve the souls! You can''t save her like this, and you''re actually harming her!"

    He grabbed Master Quan at once, shouting coldly.

    "Young man, let go! Could it be that you want to harm Miss Zhang?"

    He shouted loudly.

    There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

    "Seeing that you are a fellow practitioner, don''t ruin my good work! Otherwise... you know the consequences!"

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "Your soul-calling technique is too amateur; it can''t ensure her safety. Doing this will lead to problems."

    Liu Yuan instantly retorted furiously, pointing at Qin Jiang and scolding, "Who are you, young man! Get out of here and don''t interfere with Miss Zhang''s recovery! Otherwise, I won''t let you off the hook!"

    His eyes were filled with urgency and anger.

    Zhang Haoyuan frowned, "Mr. Qin, stop causing trouble."

    Mrs. Zhang was even more furious, "Younger brother, who did you bring here? To actually interrupt the master at such a crucial moment, could it be that you want to see our daughter dead?"

    She questioned him coldly.

    Zhang Haosheng looked embarrassed, "Mr. Qin..."

    Seeing that they did not believe in him, Qin Jiang could not be bothered to argue further and simply said, "I''ve already warned you. If you don''t believe it, there''s nothing I can do."

    "Bear the consequences yourself."

    Having said that, he slowly released his grip.

    Good advice is wasted on the doomed!

    After that, Master Quan huffed and continued with his spellcasting.

    Just then, Qin Jiang suddenly noticed a movement in his hand.

    He squinted his eyes slightly.

    This matter, it seemed, was not as simple as the mere loss of a soul, and more likely, it was no coincidence.

    At that moment, Zhang Shuyun''s eyshes trembled lightly, and then, she slowly woke up!

    "She''s awake!"

    "She''s awake!"

    The Zhang Family Couple rejoiced, nearly moved to tears.

    Liu Yuan was also overjoyed, a faint smile curving at the corners of his mouth!

    Master Quan looked at Qin Jiang with a cold and indifferent gaze, "Young man, see for yourself, when the Grandmaster takes action! How could anything go wrong? Ridiculous!"

    But, the next moment, Zhang Shuyun, who had juste to, suddenly sprang from the bed like a madwoman, knocking Master Quan to the ground, and then ran wildly towards the window!

    "Shuyun! Shuyun!"

    The Zhang Family Couple was panicked, but Zhang Shuyun''s eyes were emitting a red glow, her strength immense, and she swept all of them to the floor as she rushed forward, nearly bursting through the window!

    Everyone''s faces turned deathly pale.

    This was the third floor...

    If she really fell down, the trouble would be tremendous!

    Just then, Qin Jiang sprang into action.

 Chapter 105: 105

    "Shh, shh, shh¡ª"

    He charged out and stood in front of Zhang Shuyun.

    At this moment, Zhang Shuyun had gone mad,pletely bereft of reason, and charged straight at him.

    "Stop!"

    Qin Jiang tapped several critical acupuncture points on her body.

    Zhang Shuyun''s body was eerily immobilized!

    Seeing this scene, the Zhang Family Couple finally snapped back from their terror, slumping to the ground, gasping for air.

    "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Qin..."

    They were at a loss for words, bowing incessantly as they thanked Qin Jiang!

    Their tone was filled with boundless gratitude!

    In that urgent situation just now, had the suddenly crazed Zhang Shuyun jumped from above, what then?

    It would have been either death or disability!

    Liu Yuan was also ashen-faced, demanding rification from Master Quan, "What happened? You said it was guaranteed to be foolproof! Give me an exnation, damn it!"

    He stared coldly at Master Quan.

    Master Quan himself wiped away a cold sweat, "I, I also don''t know what happened..."

    Clearly, the Two Souls of Heaven and Earth had already been restored to their ces, so why did this situation ur?

    Zhang Haosheng hurried over and asked, "Mr. Qin, what is happening here?"

    At this moment, though Zhang Shuyun''s body was immobilized, everyone could still see the madness in her eyes, as if she was trying desperately to break free from these constraints,pletely irrational.

    "Please, Mr. Qin, save my daughter..."

    This time Zhang Haoyuan was truly scared and promptly begged Qin Jiang for help, as Liu Yuan and the others were utterly unreliable.

    He was very worried about his daughter''s current state.

    A slight misstep could ruin her.

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "It''s fine, this little problem can still be solved."

    "However, if this continues for half a day more, even the gods wouldn''t be able to bring her back."

    Qin Jiang heaved a light sigh.

    Zhang Haoyuan immediately asked, "Mr. Qin, why did my daughter be like this after waking up? What exactly happened? Can you tell us about it?"

    Qin Jiang responded coldly, "For that, you''ll have to ask them about the good deed they''ve done."

    Qin Jiang nced at Liu Yuan and Master Quan.

    "Ineptitude!"

    The look Zhang Haoyuan cast at the two became more hostile, while Liu Yuan''s scalp tingled, and he swallowed his saliva in secret.

    Master Quan argued defensively, "Mr. Zhang, don''t listen to his nonsense. He interrupted my casting, which is why this problem arose. It''s all his scheming!"

    Qin Yan scoffed, "How amusing."

    "You think by inverting ck and white, I won''t have any evidence? I''ll settle the score with youter!"

    "Yourck of skill in the art of summoning meant you couldn''t properly summon the soul, causing Miss Zhang''s Two Souls of Heaven and Earth to return in reverse order. Thus, even if Miss Zhang awoke, she was bound to be deranged. You are aware of this, aren''t you?"

    "Glug!" Master Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

    Being exposed by Qin Jiang, he had no words to refute.

    Afterward, Qin Jiang began taking out silver needles and started inserting them into the delicate body of Zhang Shuyun.

    With each silver needle that was inserted,

    Zhang Shuyun''s gaze gradually calmed down and eventually became vacant.

    "Stay!"

    Qin Jiang suddenly shouted sternly!

    The next moment!

    A silver needle was stuck into the center of her forehead.

    The forehead is the sea of consciousness for the human soul. Therefore, by immobilizing this spot, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits can slowly return to their ces, returning to normal.

    Indeed, after this needle was administered, a hint of bewilderment flickered in Zhang Shuyun''s eyes.

    In a brief three seconds, she returned to normal.

    "Where... where am I?"

    "Dad... Mom? Uncle?"

    "Liu Yuan?"

    She looked around at the people, her face nk, and shook her head.

    Seeing his daughter recover, Zhang Haoyuan immediately teared up, "It''s good that you''re okay, it''s good! This time, we owe Mr. Qin a great deal; otherwise... it would have been troublesome!"

    "Mr. Qin?" Zhang Shuyun looked astonished, her gazending on the handsome man before her, her cheeks slightly flushed.

    "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

    She shyly gave a bow to Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "No need to be polite."

    Feeling a bit shaky at Zhang Shuyun''s awakening, Liu Yuan quickly interjected, "Since Shuyun is awake now, we''ll take our leave, Uncle, sorry for the intrusion."

    He gestured with his eyes to Master Quan, intending to leave.

    "Wait a moment!"

    However, Qin Jiang calmly turned his gaze towards them, "You think you can just leave like this? I think you''re dreaming."

    "What else do you want?" Liu Yuan snorted coldly, "We indeed made a small mistake, but we intended to help! Besides, this is a matter between me and Uncle Zhang''s family, what right do you have to meddle in our affairs?"

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly, "You know I''m not talking about that."

    "I¡ª" Liu Yuan broke into a cold sweat, feeling very guilty.

    Zhang Haoyuan sighed lightly, "Let it go, Mr. Qin. They had good intentions, there''s no need. Let them go! Liu Yuan, we appreciate your sentiments this time!"

    "Yes, yes!"

    Liu Yuan nodded repeatedly.

    However, Qin Jiang said indifferently, "This time, Miss Zhang fell into aa because of their doing! Mr. Zhang, are you sure you want to let them go?"

    At this statement, all the people present were stunned!

    "What?"

    What''s going on?

    Why would Qin Jiang say that?

    Qin Jiang, expressionless, approached Zhang Shuyun, and then, he tore off the sleeve on her arm!

    "Rip¡ª"

    Her pristine arm was exposed, and on it, there was a faint mark resembling a skull, emitting a sinister aura.

    "This Soul Seal hasn''t disappeared yet, Master Quan, would you agree... right?"

    Master Quan immediately felt his scalp tingle.

    "I don''t know what you''re talking about!"

    Qin Jiang asked Zhang Shuyun, "Miss Zhang, I''d like to ask if you passed out immediately after the car ident? You didn''t... did you?"

    Zhang Shuyun tried hard to recall, "No. I had just gotten onto the road from inside when suddenly a car charged out from the side; I immediately hit the brakes."

    "Then, I crashed into the steering wheel of the car..."

    "At that time, I didn''t lose consciousness right away."

    "After that... Liu Yuan and others rushed over from behind, they supported me, injured, and after about ten seconds, I passed out..."

    Hearing this, the Zhang family members cast their scrutinizing gazes at Liu Yuan.

    "I... I swear to heaven!" Liu Yuan said coldly, "I absolutely didn''t have any..."

    "Your oath is worthless," Qin Jiang said icily, "The evidence is right on you now."

    Upon hearing this, both people swallowed hard.

    Qin Jiang stepped toward them, his words deliberate, "Do you dare say you''re innocent?"

    "Kid! Don''t nder people out of thin air!" Liu Yuan said icily, "Even a rabbit will bite when it''s cornered!"

    Qin Jiang let out a coldugh, then took a step towards Master Quan, who quickly tried to dodge, but Qin Jiang''s hand caught his wrist with a slight squeeze!

    "Ah¡ª"

    Master Quan screamed, and a small ck bottle fell from his hand!

 Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Embarrassing!

    "This," he said, "is the evidence."

    Qin Jiang released Master Quan and then picked up the small bottle, speaking indifferently.

    Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Haoyuan and the others had faces so ashen they looked nearly ready to drip with water!

    Zhang Haoyuan asked in a cold voice, "What is the meaning of this! Liu Yuan, give me an exnation..."

    "I¡­I¡­" Liu Yuan stammered, unable to spit out a single word, cold sweat rolled down his forehead like soybeans, Zhang Haoyuan''s imposing manner made his legs go weak!

    "Speak!"

    Liu Yuan fell to his knees with a thud, "Uncle, I''ve been wronged... Shuyun and I are friends, and with no grudges or ill will, how could I possibly harm her?"

    "And, with your high status, what could I possibly gain by harming her?"

    Zhang Haoyuan thought about it and felt there was some sense to it.

    But, Qin Jiang picked up the bottle from the ground and turned it over.

    A skull was revealed.

    It was identical to the faint mark on Zhang Shuyun''s hand.

    "If I''m not mistaken, this should be the Soul Conductor Device that Master Quan you concocted using your mystic arts, right?"

    "Originally, Miss Zhang''s soul must have been sucked into this Soul Conductor Device, and then she fell into aa. If I''m not wrong, the car ident was also your doing."

    "This¡­" Faced with irrefutable evidence, Liu Yuan was so scared he wet himself and shivered all over.

    Master Quan''s face turned iron blue, his cold eyes staring fixedly at Qin Jiang.

    Zhang Shuyun''s face was icy, "Liu Yuan, back then I refused to mention your Liu Family''s project to my father, did you harbor resentment and therefore harm me in secret?"

    "No¡­" Liu Yuan hastened to exin, "I just wanted to create an ident to make the Zhang Family owe me a favor, I never thought¡­"

    He now deeply regretted his actions!

    Not only had he failed to make the Zhang Family owe him, but now that his schemes were exposed, he had also thoroughly infuriated the Zhang Family.

    He red resentfully at Qin Jiang.

    If it weren''t for this meddler, his n would have been a sess long ago!

    It was all this guy''s fault!

    Zhang Haoyuanughed angrily, "Liu Yuan, you have some nerve, daring toy a hand on my daughter! It seems¡­ the Liu Family is really flying high, time to teach you a lesson!"

    Liu Yuan immediately began kowtowing in admission of his guilt, "Uncle Zhang, I was wrong! I was wrong! I ept the punishment!"

    "Have them arrested and wait for my decision!"

    Upon hearing this, Master Quan''s eyes immediately became chilling, "I advise you not to take this too far! I have a hundred ways to make you die without understanding why!"

    "Mr. Zhang, offending us folk sorcerers is not a wise move!"

    "No matter who you are, dare to hurt my daughter, and there is only one oue!"

    "Then you can go to hell!" Seeing that negotiation was impossible, Master Quan''s eyes turned extremely cold, and with a furious shout, he released seven or eight dark shadows from his body, which roared towards them!

    For a moment, the whole room became incredibly sinister.

    As if plummeting into an ice cer.

    These dark shadows turned into a horde of fierce heads, emanating a hair-raising roar as they charged at them...

    Zhang Haoyuan''s scalp numbed, and he was about to be bitten by those fierce ghost heads!

    "Break¡ª"

    With a low shout from Qin Jiang, a glint of gold shed, and with a palm strike, he shattered two ghost heads, then swiftly and thunderously destroyed the remaining few!

    In an instant, the gloomy energy dissipated altogether.

    The scene once again returned to calm.

    And Master Quan, hit by the recoil, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale as paper, and he turned to flee.

    However, Qin Jiang let out a coldugh, caught up to him, and kicked him against the wall!

    "Bang¡ª"

    In an instant, Master Quan let out a scream and was kicked to death by Qin Jiang!

    For such a person who used his own spells for evil deeds, Qin Jiang had no pity, employing thunderous methods to suppress and kill, lest they find another chance to harm those innocents with their spells.

    It took Zhang Haoyuan quite a while to regain hisposure, and he gave Qin Jiang a deep bow, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for stepping in to save us!"

    "No need!" Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "It was just a trivial effort."

    Zhang Shuyun looked at Qin Jiang''s retreating back and suddenly felt a surge of emotion. Wasn''t he the knight in shining armor she had dreamt of, appearing at the critical moment to save her from peril?

    Mrs. Zhang also put away her disdain and thanked him repeatedly.

    Soon, a dozen soldiers armed with guns rushed in and took the trembling Liu Yuan away.

    Zhang Haoyuan sighed with relief and said, "I heard from my younger brother that Mr. Qin, you are looking to reside in Tianlong Bay?"

    "That''s right," Qin Jiang said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Zhang is willing to part with a house?"

    Zhang Haoyuan smiled lightly and said, "What''s the difficulty in that!"

    "It''s a small matter, Mr. Qin, don''t worry about it too much. I''ll make sure it gets done for you."

    Mrs. Zhang suddenly interjected, "But Zhang, our Tianlong Bay is already full!"

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoyuan''s face turned embarrassed, "Is it? I haven''t paid attention to this ce for so long I''d forgotten. However, Tianlong Bay No.1 vi is one of the best, and we seldom stay there; I think it would be better to offer it to Mr. Qin."

    Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang silently nodded, "That makes sense."

    The loss of a house meant little to them.

    Compared to it, Qin Jiang had saved their daughter, and that alone was more than enough to earn their gratitude. So, on such a matter, why would they make things difficult for Qin Jiang? They were eager to repay the favor.

    Qin Jiang asked, "Would that be convenient?"

    Zhang Haoyuanughed heartily, "Convenient! Of course, it''s convenient!"

    "Mr. Qin, we usually settle in Jinling City and seldome back here. We have been wondering how to thank you, and now, offering this vi to you, I think it''s the perfect solution."

    Seeing that Zhang Haoyuan was serious and not just making a show of generosity, Qin Jiang nodded, "Alright!"

    "When the timees, whatever the price, I''ll transfer it to you. Don''t refuse that, otherwise, I won''t move in. I can''t ept such a valuable gift."

    "This¡­" Seeing Qin Jiang''s insistence, Zhang Haoyuan had no choice but to give in.

    He had originally intended to offer it to Qin Jiang for free.

    Just before leaving, Zhang Haoyuan reiterated earnestly, "Mr. Qin, in two days it will be my daughter''s 24th birthday banquet. I hope you will do us the honor of attending!"

    "Alright!" Qin Jiang nodded. After all, the house was still in their possession, and he had to show some courtesy.

    "Hahaha! Then, we await the honor of Mr. Qin''s presence!" Zhang Haoyuan said cheerfully.

    "No problem," Qin Jiang nodded, "You are too kind, Mr. Zhang."

    After a brief exchange, Qin Jiang then left the ce.

    But as he passed by a park in the neighborhood, he suddenly saw a figure squatting among the bamboo. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a young woman, who was actually...

    He immediately averted his eyes, embarrassed!

    "Libertine!"

    The figure squatting in the bamboo, a young woman, suddenly stood up, shouting angrily.

    As she waited fiercely for him.

    Qin Jiang wore an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, it wasn''t intentional... I didn''t see anything... I''m leaving now!"

    He quickly turned to leave.

    "Thinking of leaving? It won''t be that easy!"

    Dressed in training attire, the young woman took two steps in the space of three and chased after him.

    And then, she pped her palm towards Qin Jiang''s back!

    The palm wind howled.

 Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Xu Muges Determination!

    Qin Jiang turned around and saw her relentless pursuit, his gaze suddenly turning cold. Turning back, he struck out with his palm but without using much strength.

    He exerted less than ten percent of his power.

    Unexpectedly, he was actually pushed back a few steps by this woman. Explore stories at mvl

    "I didn''t expect you to actually have some skills. You''ve surprised Miss here! Humph! Libertine, prepare to die!"

    Shen Yueling, infuriated and embarrassed, unleashed several palm strikes in quick session.

    The palm winds howled, fierce and relentless.

    Qin Jiang blocked each one.

    "Enough! It was you squatting there. It''s a public road; can you me me?"

    He was angry too.

    This woman was beingpletely unreasonable.

    Where was there any sense in this?

    Shen Yueling''s pretty face reddened with anger. How could she have anticipated that, with so few people around, someone would just happen to pass by?

    And with Tianlong Bay being so vast, she seldom saw people passing by. Added to her haste... she never expected to encounter Qin Jiang passing through!

    She was rendered speechless!

    "Who allowed you to see things you shouldn''t have?" Shen Yueling said coldly, "I''m going to teach you a lesson today!"

    After speaking, she delivered an even more ferocious palm strike toward Qin Jiang''s head.

    Qin Jiang was angered, his eyes turning frighteningly cold. No longer indulging her, heshed out with a palm of his own. Shen Yueling was forced back seven or eight steps and then felt a surge of blood, a trickle spilling from the corner of her mouth!

    How did this guy suddenly get so much stronger?

    Bear in mind that she was a martial artist in thete stages of the Inner Strength realm; she wasn''t easy to deal with. But with just a single palm strike from him, she was almost sent flying.

    "If youe at me again, I''ll send you crashing to the ground, strip you bare and leave you here for everyone to see what an unreasonable woman who relieves herself wherever she pleases really looks like!"

    "I..." Shen Yueling gritted her teeth in anger. This guy had seen her, and he still had the nerve to act so righteous?

    Qin Jiang paid her no more attention and turned to leave.

    However, Shen Yueling attacked again!

    This time, Qin Jiang erupted with energy, and with one palm strike, she spat out blood, her arm went numb, and she copsed on the ground, pale as a ghost.

    "Don''t court death!" Qin Jiang''s patience waspletely worn out, and his voice was terrifyingly cold.

    Afterward, he only started to leave when he saw Shen Yueling seated on the ground, beginning to recuperate.

    Shen Yueling watched Qin Jiang, feeling furious and curious at the same time. When did such an expert appear in Tianlong Bay?

    Bear in mind that she hailed from a Martial Arts Family.

    She had been cultivating since childhood.

    She was considered very talented among her peers, yet in the face of Qin Jiang, she couldn''t withstand a single move? It was a heavy blow to her!

    Thinking of how Qin Jiang had seen her naked, she felt extremely vexed.

    Qin Jiang returned directly to his house.

    He started to prepare medication for Qin Sisi.

    In a few days, Qin Sisi would be able to return to school.

    He knew that at Qin Sisi''s age, it was normal to be lively and sociable.

    Having been inconvenienced by her legs for several months, staying at home for so long must have been frustrating.

    It would be good for her to return to school.

    On the other hand, Chun sat next to Xia Zhu''s bed, dialing a phone number with an expressionless face.

    "Chun, what is it?"

    Hearing that indifferent voice, Chun''s delicate body shook slightly, and she spoke in a quiet voice, "Mr. Chu, I''ve failed my mission. I''m no match for him and am willing to ept my punishment."

    There was a brief silence on the phone, then, "I will make a personal visit to Jiangcheng. I didn''t expect that this little ant would be interesting enough to outmatch even you!"

    "Don''t worry. After I break through and reach thete stages of the Transformation Realm, I''ll have some fun with him!"

    "And... that woman I wanted to take as a servant but failed, this time, I want to see if she still has the guts to defy me!"

    Upon hearing this, Chun''s gaze briefly became vacant as if she recalled something from long ago.

    She took down the phone that had already been hung up.

    Xia Zhu looked at her with a questioning face and said coldly, "Did your mission really fail?"

    "Yeah," Chun responded.

    "You wouldn''t be going easy, would you?" Xia Zhu sneered, "Don''t think I don''t know about all the things you''ve done behind Mr. Chu''s back over the years, I just can''t be bothered to expose you."

    "Think whatever you want," Chun stood up with a sneer, "If you want to die, you can go find him yourself, it''s none of my business anyway."

    Having said that, she directly pushed open the hospital room door and left.

    "Hmph!" Xia Zhu looked dissatisfied, her eyes full of jealousy, "I really don''t understand why Mr. Chu is so fond of this woman! The most obedient one... is me!"

    She touched the bandage on her face, a venomous look flickering in her eyes.

    Qin Jiang had ruined her face.

    This vengeance, she must im!!!

    One way or another, she was determined to make that guy pay a painful price!

    "Mr. Chu is about to arrive!"

    "By then... whether it''s Zhao Corporation, Qin Jiang, Xu Muge, these despicable people, all of them will be trembling at Mr. Chu''s feet!"

    Her eyes shone with fanatical admiration.

    After all, this was the Prince of Jinling, Chu Tianjiao!

    Once Chu Tianjiao stepped into thete stage of the Transformation Realm, how many of his peers could be his match?

    Qin Jiang, must die!

    That ignorant woman from Zhao Corporation will face death too!

    In another hospital room.

    Luo Shifei, her face bound in bandages, had eyes devoid of any light, as if she had lost her soul.

    What she was proudest of was her face.

    Now, it was all gone.

    The Luo family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

    She had been disfigured.

    She was about to lose everything.

    All this, thanks to Qin Jiang!

    "Qin Jiang, I will make sure to live on, just to see you torn apart by Mr. Chu!"

    No matter how capable Qin Jiang was, once he had offended the Prince of Jinling, there could only be one oue...

    "And Xu Muge, when Mr. Chu gives you a ne, I will lead you around the streets for a good walk! I want everyone to see you lowly as a dog..."

    Her eyes were filled with ferocity.

    Time hurriedly passed by another day or two.

    During these two days, Xu Muge also consulted a lot with Zhao Yuefei.

    The two of them came and went closely, like sisters.

    And within these couple of days, Zhao Yuefei had decisively crushed the internal strife within Zhao Corporation, leaving no one daring to provoke her anymore.

    The Zhao Yuefei of today had shed her youthful na?vet¨¦ and acquired a coldness never seen before, and Hu Jianghai''s sudden death had shown the restless ones her merciless methods.

    After several days of discussion with Zhao Yuefei, Xu Muge decided to start her own business.

    She would open her ownpany.

    Zhao Yuefei suggested, "The beauty product industry is an emerging market with a lot of potential, the pie is big, you can try to enter it, this could be a profitable venture."

    "Whether you start selling some products as a distributor for a stable dividend or as a manufacturer developing beauty products, it''s generally a surefire profit."

    "Beauty products?" Hearing Zhao Yuefei''s words, Xu Muge felt enlightened.

    However, she soon felt troubled, after all, she had no resources at hand.

    Zhao Yuefeiughed softly, "If you want resources, I can give you some."

    "However, that guy is not somebody to mess with, be careful when you deal with him," Zhao Yuefei''s eyes shed with disgust, "Remember to bring Qin Jiang with you, he can protect you."

    "Okay!" After hesitating for a moment, Xu Muge nodded.

    Being ousted by the Xu Family had been a huge blow to her, but it also ignited her determination to grow stronger, she wanted to build a career, she was determined to make the Xu Family regret everything!

 Chapter 108 The Gift!

    Xu Muge nodded and said, "Don''t worry, I''ll have Qin Jiang go with me."

    Zhao Yuefei smiled and said, "I''m really envious of you, having such a knight in shining armor."

    Xu Muge looked blissful andughed, "Yufei, if you want, I can also share him with you."

    Zhao Yuefei was stunned for a moment, thenughed, "I wouldn''t dare, that''s too bloody."

    The two of them looked at each other andughed.

    But in Zhao Yuefei''s mind shed the scene of Qin Jiang rushing to save her, slightly distracted.

    This guy is annoying, but I have to admit, he''s reliable when it counts.

    She truly did envy Xu Muge.

    However, as a proud woman like her, she would probably never submit to a man in her lifetime.

    She was going to stand at the peak and look down upon these men.

    After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yuefei said, "This time, I want to introduce you to the eldest son of the Rong Family in Jinling City. The Rong Family is an old family that has been handed down for hundreds of years."

    "The ancestors were beauty physicians in the pce."

    "They served those concubines."

    "They control countless beauty prescriptions and have partnerships with all the major beautypanies."

    "I hope you can sessfully negotiate this deal."

    Xu Muge asked, "Yufei, are you familiar with her?"

    Zhao Yuefei sneered, "Not familiar. This guy is extremely lustful and always stares at me as if he wants to devour me alive. It disgusts me."

    "After one or two coborations, I no longer wanted to work with him, so you should also be careful."

    Xu Muge nodded, knowing from Zhao Yuefei that this guy was no easy mark. It seemed that it really would be safer to bring Qin Jiang with her.

    "By the way, I''ve already avenged you a little against the Xu Family by taking them to court. They must be in a state of disarray by now, but our chances of winning the case aren''t great," Zhao Yuefei said. "The Xu Family has someone backing them."

    Xu Muge nodded, knowing that the person Zhao Yuefei was referring to must be Wei Zijing.

    After exchanging pleasantries, they parted ways.

    Later, Xu Muge got in touch with Mr. Rong and set a time for the business negotiation.

    Afterward, she called Qin Jiang to inform him about the matter.

    Qin Jiang smiled slightly and said, "Good, when the timees, I''ll apany you there."

    With Qin Jiang''s word, Xu Muge already felt at ease.

    Immediately, she felt more confident.

    However, starting apany still required a lot of preparations, such as qualifications, licenses, selectingpany location, and so on.

    Qin Jiang smiled and said, "I''ll take care of these things for you. They''re all minor issues."

    Xu Muge sighed, "It''s not as easy as you say. Qin Jiang, I know you indeed know some people, but you can''t keep using favors, it might backfire!"

    Qin Jiang nodded upon hearing her admonition, "I understand. We''ll talk about this matterter. Now, I want to give you a surprise."

    Xu Muge felt instantly sweet inside andughed, "What kind of surprise?"

    "Look downstairs!"

    From upstairs, Xu Muge looked down and indeed saw that Qin Jiang was already there!

    "When did you get here?"

    She didn''t care for much else, disregardng her high heels, she rushed down from upstairs, "You''re here, and you didn''t even properly give me a heads-up?"

    "Come on, I''ll take you upstairs to sit¡ª" Xu Muge immediately pulled Qin Jiang up the stairs.

    Qin Jiang had no choice but to follow her.

    At home, Xu Jinhong and his wife were present, and their expressions weren''t too friendly when they saw Qin Jiang enter.

    Now that Xu Muge had been kicked out by the Xu Family, and she was unwilling to go back no matter what, they felt that it must be Qin Jiang who was instigating her from behind.

    Xu Mulin''s attitude was much better, after all, Qin Jiang had helped him before and solved the restaurant issue, so his view of Qin Jiang had greatly improved.

    "What are you doing here?" Liu Ya reluctantly poured a cup of tea.

    Qin Jiangughed and said, "I''vee to bring Muge a little gift."

    "Heh¡ª" Liu Ya sneered, "There''s no need for trifling things; we don''tck for anything. If you''re really bringing a gift, it should have some sincerity, right? You look empty-handed, not like you''ve brought anything valuable."

    Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Auntie, rest assured, I think you will like what I''m bringing."

    "Oh?" Liu Ya scoffed, "We''re not the kind of people who haven''t seen the world."

    "Don''t think you can bluff me."

    Qin Jiang took out the key he had in his hand and ced it on the table.

    ```

    "What is this?!"

    The Xu family members were all stunned.

    "This is the key to the Hongfeng Vi District," Qin Jiang said calmly, "I bought a house there for you. The environment is quite nice, and I have already transferred the property to Muge''s name."

    Liu Ya inhaled a breath of cold air!

    Really? Is this for real?

    The Hongfeng Vi District is the highest-grade vi area in Jiangcheng. The people living there are all wealthy!

    Their worth is at least several hundred million!

    Extremely affluent!

    The cheapest vi there starts at fifty million!

    And naturally, the most expensive vis are number one and number eight within the area!

    They sold for close to two billion in price!

    How could an ordinary person afford that?

    "You must be joking with us; the Hongfeng Vi District is high-end luxury housing! Moreover, it''s fully upied now! You''re saying you''ve bought one for us? That''s too funny!"

    Liu Ya didn''t believe a word of it.

    Xu Jinhong also found it hard to believe.

    After all, the Hongfeng Vi District isn''t like other ces; you can''t just talk your way into buying there. Who can afford a luxury vi worth one or two billion!

    Even mega-rich tycoons with worths of tens of billions have to weigh their options carefully!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "This is the key to vi number eight in the Hongfeng Vi District!"

    "If you don''t believe me, you can take this key and go check if it''s real or not!"

    This was a vi owned by Shen Longting.

    However, Shen Longting seldom lived there; it was mostly vacant. So today, he directly gifted the vi to Qin Jiang.

    Liu Ya scoffed, "Alright, you say this is the key to the vi number eight in the Hongfeng Vi District, then how much did you pay for it? Where is the property deed?"

    Qin Jiang replied, "The property deed hasn''t been transferred yet. As for the money, I didn''t spend any, it was a gift."

    Liu Yaughed coldly, "Haha¡ªI suppose you''re joking, right?"

    "A vi worth billions, just handed to you?"

    "No one would believe that!"

    With those words, she knocked the key from Qin Jiang''s table to the floor!

    "Get lost! Don''te here to fool us!"

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Mrs. Liu, since you don''t believe me, there''s nothing I can do. However, I will make you believe. Wait until the property deed is in my hands."

    Qin Jiang,posed and dignified, picked up the key from the floor.

    "Get out now!" Liu Yapletely lost her patience.

    This guy, actually thinking he can deceive them, what a joke.

    "Qin Jiang, stop kidding around. This vi worth nearly two billion is very famous in Jiangcheng. How could someone just give it to you?"

    Qin Jiang sighed, "Muge, don''t you believe me either?"

    "I..." Xu Muge wasn''t that she didn''t believe Qin Jiang, but what he said was too exaggerated. How could someone just give away this vi for no reason?

    Two billion, that''s a significant amount of money!

    Qin Jiang said, "It''s fine, I will make you all believe."

    Xu Jinhong said coldly, "Young man, it''s better to be down-to-earth. Don''t think by deceiving us, we will willingly hand over Muge to you."

    "We won''t fall for this trick."

    Qin Jiang, helpless, could only think of another way. It just so happened that Xu Muge''s birthday was in a few days¡ª a perfect opportunity to give her a huge surprise.

    After Qin Jiang took his leave, Xu Jinhong quickly received a phone call...

    After hanging up the phone, he looked worried and said, "I''ve just got a call from the Xu family. They said that they are going to hold a birthday banquet for Huanhuan, and the venue will be in the Hongfeng Vi District..."

    On hearing this, Xu Muge bit her red lips and didn''t speak, only sighing softly.

    Her birthday, coincidentally, was on the same day as Xu Huanhuan''s, except Xu Huanhuan was a year younger than her.

    However, ever since they were children, the Xu family always celebrated Xu Huanhuan''s birthday with grand ceremonies, while she could only look on enviously. In fact, she also wished for a grand birthday celebration, to be valued, but it seemed nothing more than a vain hope.

    Liu Ya said in a stern voice, "Are we going? With their character, we will inevitably be humiliated if we go!"

    "We''ll go!" Xu Muge dered firmly, "I want to see what tricks they''re nning to pull."

 Chapter 109: 109 Chapter The Focus of the Entire Arena!

    Xu Jinhong said coldly, "With the Xu Family''s capital, it''s basically impossible for us to hold a birthday banquet at Hongfeng Vi District, which is the highest-end vi area in our Jiangcheng."

    "The people who live there are all very high-end, like bigpany CEOs and the like."

    "I think it must be Xu Huanhuan''s boyfriend who''s pulling some strings for her there."

    Liu Ya''s face was full of displeasure, "Ever since Xu Huanhuan climbed up the socialdder by getting involved with Jinling City''s young master, she''s been outrageously arrogant in front of us. She''s showing off like a petty person who''se into good fortune, and it''s just annoying to see."

    Xu Muge said, "Forget it, let them show off as much as they want."

    Xu Jinhong was speechless, "They''re purposely inviting us, probably because they want to embarrass you, Muge, at the event."

    Xu Muge pouted, feeling indignant in her heart. Why should she be looked down on by Xu Huanhuan, that dim-witted woman? She was not inferior to Xu Huanhuan!

    Xu Huanhuan is nothing more than a woman with a wealthy boyfriend, what''s so impressive about that?

    Wei Zijing came from a prominent family in Jinling, but Qin Jiang... Thinking of this, she shook her head.

    She needed to rise up through her own efforts and not rely on Qin Jiang.

    Besides, Qin Jiang could only help her with small favors. When it came to big matters, Qin Jiang''s influence wasn''t enough; favors could eventually run out!

    Meanwhile, Qin Jiang had also received a call from Zhang Haoyuan, telling him that tomorrow was Zhang Shuyun''s birthday, and inviting Qin Jiang to attend the banquet they were hosting.

    Owing to the favor he had received from Zhang Haoyuan, Qin Jiang could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.

    This time, the banquet invited many guests to attend, covering the elite from all the major families in Jiangcheng.

    One could say that the scene was extremely grand.

    Those families were scrambling to get an invitation.

    After all, Zhang Haoyuan''s status was there, and they were all eager to curry favor with him.

    The next day.

    Tianlong Garden.

    The entire vi district was lit up and bustling with activity.

    The guestsing and going were numerous and each of them had a status that was frightening. After all, the person hosting the birthday banquet was the daughter of Zhang Haoyuan, and the attendees were all of significant stature.

    Practically all of Fengcheng''s first-ss families had been invited over.

    Second-ss families didn''t usually get this treatment. However, many families had fought head over heels and, finally, had managed to get an invitation to enter this ce.

    People from the Qin Family were just like that.

    This time, the whole Qin Family hade, and when they saw the high standards of Tianlong Garden, they were all astounded. They hadn''t expected that the ce would be even more imposing than they had imagined.

    Just the rows of soldiers standing at the entrance, armed to the teeth, was enough to dazzle them!

    Not to mention the environment, the location, and the luxuriousness of the vi''s decor!

    "I heard that the cheapest vis here start at several tens of millions, and the most expensive one is valued at two hundred million."

    "Two hundred million..."

    They couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. One house here could cost them half of the Qin Family''s assets! It was terrifying!

    The group entered the vi district like Liu Laoo entering the Grand View Garden, full of awe.

    "Awesome!"

    "If I could live in a ce like this in my lifetime, that would be amazing..."

    They had a look of longing in their eyes.

    But, it was just a daydream, for even if the Qin Family worked hard for fifty years, they would never qualify to live here. Find your next adventure on mvl

    In Jiangcheng, the Qin Family didn''t even make the list, let alone in a distinguished ce like this!

    Upon entering Vi No. 1, they were even more stunned by the scene before them.

    Various department heads and deputies, whom they previously had to fawn over, were now bowing and scraping before the Zhang brothers, their faces full of eager ttery and deferential in their demeanor.

    "The Liu Family..."

    "The Mo Family..."

    "The Chen Family!"

    "And many other big shots from Jinling City..."

    Seeing these influential figures chatting andughing, they didn''t even have the courage to approach and strike up a conversation.

    The grand birthday banquet soon began its prelude.

    Today, Zhang Shuyun was dressed to the nines, looking charming with a touch of elegance. Her gaze wandered to the entrance, but she didn''t see the figure she was hoping to meet.

    There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

    "So beautiful..." Qin Xiao waspletely starstruck; however, ady of such high status waspletely out of his league. He reckoned that even if he approached her, she wouldn''t give him the time of day.

    Just then, a young figure entered the doorway. Seeing such a grand asion, Qin Jiang furrowed his brows slightly, but said nothing.

    After all, this was Zhang Haoyuan''s home turf; it was normal for it to be lively.

    He wanted to find a quiet ce to sit down.

    However, as he nced around, he noticed that the Qin Family members were also present.

    "Bad luck," Qin Jiang''s face showed disdain as he nned to distance himself from them, but Qin Xiao stood up, holding a ss of red wine, and arrogantly approached him.

    "Qin Jiang, you''re here too? How did you get into a ce like this?"

    "Do you even belong here!" Qin Jiang replied coldly, "None of your business!"

    Qin Xiao said coldly, "How did you sneak in here today? Do you have an invitation? I''m going to tell the host to kick you out!"

    Suddenly, Zhang Haoyuan stepped onto the high tform and announced loudly, "Everyone, please quiet down for a moment."

    "First of all," I''m very grateful to everyone foring to my daughter''s birthday party. However, there is something I want to announce publicly next!"

    In an instant, the room erupted in apuse like thunder.

    Zhang Haoyuan cleared his throat and began to speak slowly, "First, I want to thank the benefactor of the Zhang Family for my daughter''s recovery. Today, he is the most important guest of honor for the Zhang Family!"

    "Secondly, I, Zhang Haoyuan, announce here that I am gifting Vi No. 1 of Tianlong Garden to our benefactor! I hope everyone can witness this moment!"

    "Wow!" The crowd immediately burst into amotion, with everyone talking at once!

    Who was the benefactor Zhang Haoyuan was referring to?

    And to just give away a vi worth two hundred million?

    Envy filled their eyes!

    "Damn, I''m so jealous," Qin Xiao was visibly excited, also curious to know who could have such great influence to receive such a generous gift from the Zhang Family. A two-hundred-million-yuan vi was something they couldn''t even dream of!

    With a smile on his face, Zhang Haoyuan spoke aloud, "Now, please wee the benefactor of the Zhang Family... Mr. Qin!"

    Zhang Haoyuan''s gaze fell on Qin Jiang, and all eyes turned to look his way in unison.

    Qin Xiao was astonished; seeing Zhang Haoyuan''s gaze pointing in their direction made him incredibly excited.

    Mr. Qin? Which Mr. Qin? Could it be himself or his father? When had his father been in contact with Zhang Haoyuan? He had kept it so well hidden! No wonder their Qin Family had the opportunity to enter Tianlong Garden for the banquet today!

    Just then, a brilliant beam of light descended, slowly moving in their direction...

 Chapter 110 The Flower Protector!

    Qin Xiao burst intoughter, "Qin Jiang! See that, my Qin Family is Mr. Zhang''s honored guest! Today you''re totally screwed, I haven''t even settled the score with you for thest time you beat me up!"

    Qin Han was also stunned. His son is a benefactor of the Zhang Family? His face turned red with excitement!

    He pped andughed heartily, "Good! Really good! Xiao''er, it seems you''ve made something of yourself!"

    Qin Xiao was dumbfounded. Wasn''t the honored guest his father? Why was it said that he had made something of himself?

    Just then, that dazzling light settled on Qin Jiang!

    Qin Xiao was left with his mouth agape.

    Qin Han was also dumbstruck!

    What was going on?

    The honored guest mentioned by the Zhang Family was Qin Jiang?

    Even Zhang Haoyuan wore a smile as he walked toward Qin Jiang amidst the shocked stares of the crowd.

    "Mr. Qin, thank you!"

    Zhang Haoyuan bowed to him.

    Qin Jiang instantly felt extremely awkward, and said, "Mr. Zhang, you''re too kind, it was just a helping hand."

    Zhang Haoyuan said, "Mr. Qin, your helping hand saved my daughter''s life. This kindness, our Zhang Family will always keep in our hearts."

    The entire Qin Family was left staring wide-eyed, in disbelief!

    The lifesaver Zhang Haoyuan spoke of was Qin Jiang? Wasn''t that just absurd?

    And, Zhang Haoyuan was going to gift him a vi worth two hundred million?

    In front of everyone''s eyes, Zhang Haoyuan presented the property title and keys to Qin Jiang with both hands, saying, "Mr. Qin, this is just a small token of our gratitude."

    Qin Jiang, without any pretense, epted them, "Thanks."

    He wasn''t one to make a fuss.

    To people like them, two hundred million was but a trifle.

    After all, rtionships are about give and take.

    Someday, the Zhang Family might have a matter in which they hoped he could lend a hand.

    Seeing Qin Jiang ept the vi, Zhang Haoyuan''s smile grew even wider.

    Zhang Shuyun also approached.

    "Mr. Qin!"

    She was dolled up for the asion, looking quite attractive with a hint of shyness in her eyes as she looked at Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang replied with a light smile, "Miss Zhang, may I help you with something?"

    Zhang Shuyunughed shyly, saying, "Can''t I approach you without a reason? By the way, you don''t have to call me Miss Zhang, just call me Shuyun. ''Miss Zhang'' sounds so distant, doesn''t it?"

    Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "A little distance is better."

    Seeing Qin Jiang''s aloof demeanor, Zhang Shuyun felt somewhat unhappy. She was notcking in looks, with admirers enough to line up from Jiangcheng to Jinling City. Why was Qin Jiang so cold to her?

    Zhang Shuyun furrowed her brows, "Mr. Qin, it''s my birthday today, where is your gift?"

    Zhang Haoyuan frowned and chided her softly, "Shuyun! Show some respect for Mr. Qin..."

    Zhang Shuyun acted as if she hadn''t heard.

    Qin Jiangughed and said, "Sorry, I forgot to prepare one."

    He truly hadn''t remembered to bring a gift, so Zhang Shuyun bringing it up made him somewhat embarrassed.

    Qin Xiao watched the scene unfold with mounting jealousy. To him, Miss Zhang was like a heavenly being. Why was she so enamored with Qin Jiang?

    He was nearly driven mad with envy!

    This guy had really stumbled into dumb luck.

    And it was infuriating to him.

    But, given the current situation, all he could do was watch with envy and return sheepishly to his family''s table.

    Qin Han and the others were green with envy, "What kind of dumb luck has this guy run into? Why do all the good things fall on him? It''s so irritating!"

    Qin Xiao said coldly, "He''ll run into bad luck eventually!"

    While Zhang Shuyun was still babbling with Qin Jiang, another figure entered from outside.

    "Shuyun, Uncle Zhang!"

    The young man was tall and stately, with sword-brows and starry eyes, and fairly handsome features.

    He gave off a very powerful aura.

    "Shuyun, this is the gift I''ve prepared for you, do you like it?"

    The young man stepped forward with a smile, presenting his carefully selected gift worth over a million.

    However, the upset Zhang Shuyun looked unimpressed and said dismissively, "Just put it there!"

    Seeing her out of sorts, Li Xu''s voice took on a concerned tone, "What''s wrong, Shuyun? Who has upset you?"

    "None of your business!" Zhang Shuyun snapped irritably.

    The crowd watched Li Xu, murmuring among themselves, especially the guests from Jinling City, who were quite surprised.

    Li Xu was a descendant of a well-known martial arts family, the Li Family.

    He was a famous youth of Jinling City.

    He had mastered the Li Family Fist to perfection, and it was said he was now at the peak of the Transformation Realm. Although he was still slightly behind his two elder brothers, his future as a surefire Martial Arts Grandmaster was all but certain.

    Among the younger generation, he was definitely a standout.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "If there''s nothing else, Miss Zhang, I''ll take my leave."

    He could tell that Zhang Shuyun might have a bit of a crush on him, but he wasn''t about to entertain it.

    He already had Xu Muge; he wouldn''t engage in any form of intimacy or ambiguity with other women.

    "Qin Jiang, you..." Zhang Shuyun was somewhat angry, this man truly didn''t offer any face.

    As Qin Jiang turned to leave, he was stopped by Li Xu. Continue reading stories on mvl

    "Apologize to Shuyun!" Li Xu demanded sternly.

    "ying the knight in shining armor?" Seeing Li Xu''s ingratiating behavior, Qin Jiang could barely suppress a smile.

    "Apologize!" Li Xu''s voice grew darker, "Otherwise, I''ll make your head bloom."

    "Considering you are a guest of the Zhang Family, I won''t stoop to your level," Qin Jiang said coldly. "Let go of your hand!"

    His gaze was equally sharp.

    "Seems like you''re looking for a proper showdown with me, Li Xu?" Li Xu sneered. He was looking for an opportunity to impress Zhang Shuyun, and here was this guy, delivering himself for some free experience.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "If you don''t let go now, I will twist your arm off!"

    "Thene and try!"

    Li Xu sneered, secretly channeling his strength.

    Qin Jiang''s gaze also turned cold.

    "Li Xu!"

    Zhang Shuyun''s cold voice rang out, "What do you think you''re doing?"

    "Don''t be disrespectful to Mr. Qin!"

    Zhang Shuyun stepped forward and pushed Li Xu away.

    "I..." Li Xu felt incredibly wronged. Wasn''t it you who wanted to teach him a lesson because you were annoyed with him?

    Zhang Shuyun quickly came forward and looked at Qin Jiang with concern, "Mr. Qin, are you alright?"

    This disy of concern almost made Li Xu explode with anger.

    Zhang Haoyuan also stepped forward and said, "My dear nephew, Mr. Qin is an esteemed guest of our family, I hope you will show him some respect."

    Li Xu was left speechless. Had he stumbled into a ho''s nest? But now that Zhang Haoyuan had spoken, even if he was irked by Qin Jiang, he had no choice but to back down.

    "Remember, today Uncle Zhang saved your life," Li Xu said coldly. "Otherwise, I would have beaten the crap out of you today. Someone like you isn''t even worth noticing."

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "If you hadn''t stopped just now, by now, you would have been crippled."

    Having said that, he ignored Li Xu and found a ce to sit down.

    Zhang Shuyun trotted over and rested her chin on her hands as she stared at Qin Jiang and asked, "Mr. Qin, are you really not nning to give me a gift?"

    Qin Jiang asked indifferently, "What do you want? I''ll make it up to you."

    "How about... you dance with me for a bit? I feel like dancing today." Zhang Shuyun extended her slender fingers.

    Qin Jiang remained unmoved, "I can''t dance."

    "I''ll teach you."

    Li Xu quickly stepped forward to intervene, "Shuyun, I can dance, if you want to dance I''ll apany you."

    "Get lost!" Zhang Shuyun''s face showed disgust. Why was this guy as annoying as a clingy ster?

    Li Xu couldn''t understand ¨C this guy was like a pretty boy without a trace of masculinity. How could Zhang Shuyun be so infatuated with him?

    Just then, two figures walked in from outside the door.

    An elder and a younger one.

    "Elder Shen!"

    "Elder Shen¡ª¡ª"

    Upon seeing the elder, everyone stood up and greeted him respectfully.

    The elder nodded with a smile.

    Even Zhang Haoyuan went forward to wee the elder with great respect.

    This elder clearly was a person of stature.

    "Cough cough!"

    The elder suddenly coughed a few times, his face slightly flushed.

    Everyone was anxious in their hearts.

    Zhang Haoyuan asked nervously, "Elder Shen, are you alright?"

    Shen Tianrong waved his hand, "I''m not going to die."

    Zhang Haoyuan said, "Elder Shen, it just so happens that today my Zhang family has invited a young miracle doctor. How about letting him take a look at you?"

    Shen Tianrongughed, "An old injury from my youth has already eroded my internal organs. Back then, I didn''t pay attention to proper rest, and now, even if the gods came, it would be toote."

    "I''ve seen many famous doctors, and none have been able to heal me; I no longer hold out hope."

    "Don''t worry, I''m still quite robust."

    Zhang Haoyuan said, "That young miracle doctor is very capable; maybe he really has a way."

    Shen Tianrong smiled, "Is that so? If he''s willing to treat me, then letting him have a look couldn''t hurt."

    "The young miracle doctor is right over there¡ª¡ª" Zhang Haoyuan immediately directed his gaze towards Qin Jiang and Zhang Shuyun.

    "Miracle doctor?" Shen Yueling brightened up at the possibility of her grandfather''s chronic illness being cured.

    Her gaze followed, and she saw Zhang Shuyun talking to a young man.

    The young man''s back seemed somewhat familiar.

    "Sister Shuyun!"

    She walked over with a smile on her face.

    "Yueling!" Seeing Shen Yueling, Zhang Shuyun also showed a smiling face.

    However, when Shen Yueling saw Qin Jiang''s face, her expression dramatically changed, "It''s you?!"

    "You libertine!"

    Seeing Qin Jiang, her temper red instantly.

    Qin Jiang frowned, "Oh, Miss Zhulin, hello, what a coincidence."

    "You¡ª" Shen Yueling''s body trembled.

    Zhang Shuyun asked, "Yueling, do you know Mr. Qin?"

    "Sister Shuyun, don''t get too involved with this guy, he''s no good!"

    Shen Yueling gritted her teeth.

    She no longer paid attention to Qin Jiang, instead turning to look at Li Xu, "Are you the young miracle doctor that Zhang mentioned? Nice to meet you!"

    She reached out her hand.

    "Huh?" Li Xu was confused, "What young miracle doctor?"

    "It''s not you?" Shen Yueling was stunned.

    At that moment, Zhang Haoyuan came over with Shen Tianrong, arrived in front of Qin Jiang, and said, "Elder Shen, this is the young miracle doctor I was talking about, Mr. Qin Jiang."

    Qin Jiang''s gaze turned to Shen Tianrong. Find your next adventure on mvl

    "Truly, a hero emerges from the young. I didn''t expect the young miracle doctor spoken of by Young Zhang to actually be so youthful," Shen Tianrong said with admiring appreciation on his face.

    Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Mr. Zhang, this person is...?"

    "Elder Shen, today I have the audacity to ask Mr. Qin to help check Elder Mr. Shen''s physical condition."

    "I see." Qin Jiang nced at Shen Tianrong and began to observe his physical condition.

    He found that although this elder seemed amiable, there was a hidden murderous intent in his eyes, and moreover, his martial cultivation was quite profound, making Qin Jiang feel a sense of danger.

    This was a rather extraordinary elder.

    "Grandfather! This man is but a libertine, how could he possibly be a godly doctor?!" Shen Yueling said with a displeased face.

    Qin Jiang retorted, "What have I done to you? Do you want me to publicize what you''ve done so that everyone can judge the matter properly?"

    Shen Yueling was so angry she trembled, finally shutting her mouth.

    "Anyway, I don''t believe you have the ability!" Shen Yueling continued to snort coldly.

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered with her.

    Shen Tianrong chuckled, "Young man, what do you think about my physical state?"

    "Practice damage, severe meridian injury, and moreover, your internal organs have been eroded over the years due to improper cultivation, leaving you riddled with holes. You, as you are now... are a man on the brink of death!"

    "Right?"

    Shen Tianrong''s pupils twitched.

    Shen Yueling angrily rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about?! My grandfather is perfectly healthy!"

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "Elder Mr. Shen! You are aware of your own body. Is what I said... correct, or not?"

    Shen Tianrongughed loudly, "Indeed, Mr. Qin''s insight is truly exceptional! It seems Young Zhang''s rmendation was not wrong; you really are a young miracle doctor! Do you think there is hope for me?"

    Qin Jiang spoke evenly, "Originally, if you had not met me, within three months, you would have undoubtedly died from a ruptured heart meridian. However, having met me, your life is not doomed."

    Qin Jiang''s tone was full of confidence.

    Shen Tianrong sighed lightly, "Recently, I indeed felt my physical condition rapidly deteriorating, and vaguely felt as if life was approaching its end, which is why I resigned and returned to my homnd."

    "I didn''t expect to meet Mr. Qin. May I ask if Mr. Qin would be willing to treat me?"

    Qin Jiang replied inly, "You are a friend of Mr. Zhang, and for Mr. Zhang''s sake, I can help you."

    "Good!" Hope rose in Shen Tianrong''s eyes.

    He sat down to one side.

    Li Xu stood by with a frustrated expression on his face¡ªhe had beenpletely overshadowed by this guy!

    But, at that very moment!

    "Buzz¡ª"

    A deafening boom resounded.

    Suddenly, a giant bell flew in from outside the door, hitting the ground with a thud.

    The ringing pierced through everyone''s eardrums!

    "Hearing that the Zhang Family''s young miss is celebrating her birthday today, an old acquaintance from the Liu Family hase to visit especially!"

    "Presenting, a giant bell!"

    A mockingughter followed, and two muscr men strode in from the outside.

    Everyone was taken aback!

    Who were these people?

    Daring to challenge the Zhang Family? Presenting a bell at Zhang Shuyun''s birthday banquet¡ªwasn''t that a p in the face to the Zhang Family?

    "The Liu Family! Could it be... the powerful and unparalleled Martial Arts Family from Jiangbei, the Liu Family?"

    Indeed, upon seeing them, the expressions on the faces of Zhang Haoyuan and the others turned instantly grim!

    "Liu Jianyu, don''t push people too far!" Zhang Haoyuan mmed the table and stood up!

 Chapter 112: Chapter 113: Ill help you drive him away!

    "Hahaha¡ª" Upon hearing those words, the middle-aged man burst intoughter, "Zhang Haoyuan, can''t handle it already? This is just the beginning!"

    Zhang Haoyuan and Zhang Haosheng''s faces were extremely ashen.

    The Zhang Family and the Liu Family were sworn enemies.

    The Zhang family disciples were once martial artists, like the former Liu Family, both local Martial Arts Families in Jiangcheng. The Zhang and Liu families had been feuding for years.

    In the end, the Liu Family was defeated and driven out of Jiangcheng.

    Moreover, from the generation of Zhang Haoyuan, the two brothers had stopped practicing martial arts and instead entered politics.

    Now, with the Liu Family father and soning to provoke them, how could the Zhang Family have any worthy younger generation to stand against them?

    Liu Jianyu snorted coldly, "In the past, your father injured my father, forcing my Liu Family to leave Jiangcheng like a bereaved dog! Now, it''s time for us to take our revenge!"

    Zhang Haoyuan said indifferently, "Back then, it was your Liu Family that proposed the duel. The stakes were also set by your Liu Family. If you can''t afford to lose and now want to go back on your word, that''s your problem."

    Liu Jianyu responded calmly, "The Liu Family can afford to lose! We came here today just to offer gifts and spar! Our two families have always been well-acquainted, and now, on this grand asion, why not give everyone a good show? Isn''t it perfect?"

    "Or is it that... the Zhang Family doesn''t have a single decent man?"

    Liu Jianyu''s words were full of provocation.

    "You¡ª" Zhang Haoyuan, furious, clenched his fists.

    "Dad! I want to go up and duel with them!"

    Humiliated like this, Zhang Haoyuan''s eldest son Zhang Qingliu couldn''t stand it anymore. Not only was the Liu Family making trouble at his sister''s birthday banquet, but they were also publicly humiliating their Zhang Family for not having a single able man! How could he tolerate this?

    "All right, then youe up here and fight me!" The young man behind Liu Jianyu sneered, "I am Liu Changxin, the fifth-generation sessor of the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall. Please, enlighten me!"

    Zhang Qingliu was about to step forward.

    Zhang Haoyuan stopped him, "You''re no match for him. Don''t get riled up so easily by his taunting."

    "Backed out?" Liu Changxin continued to taunt, "It seems that the Zhang Family really is just a bunch of cowards, hahaha¡ª"

    "That''s too much!" Zhang Shuyun was trembling with anger, "How dare they cause trouble at my birthday party!"

    She was a girl after all¡ªwho would like to receive a clock at their birthday party? It was such a mood spoiler.

    Li Xu said, "Shuyun, don''t worry! Today I will definitely teach this braggart a lesson for you! Don''t forget, I am also a descendant of a Martial Arts Family, a heritage bearer of the Li Family Fist!"

    He was brimming with confidence.

    Zhang Shuyun pouted, "Are you sure about that?"

    Li Xu stood tall and puffed out his chest, "How can a man say he can''t do it?"

    He looked disdainfully at Qin Jiang, "I am not like some men who are so cowardly; the Zhang Family is being humiliated in public, and yet he can remain utterly indifferent!"

    "Shuyun, you must never be fooled by the appearance of such men!"

    Qin Jiang was speechless, "If you want to show off, then go ahead. What''s with the barking over here?"

    Zhang Shuyun urged, "Are you going up there or not? Stop dilly-dallying here!"

    Li Xu quickly said, "Of course I''m going up!"

    Having said that, he stepped forward and shouted, "Li Xu of the Jinling Li Family, willing to fight for the Zhang Family!"

    "Today is Miss Shuyun''s birthday, and your actions are truly despicable! Today, I, Li Xu, will teach you a lesson!"

    After speaking, he leaped forward to confront Liu Changxin.

    Liu Changxin looked disdainful, "You? Are you even worthy?"

    "Arrogant!" Li Xu, enraged, immediately attacked with his energy sinking to his dantian. His boxing style was wide open, like two huge hammers, smashing forward.

    Their fists met flesh, their energy swept through, and many tables and chairs around them were flipped and shattered!

    Five or six secondster, Qin Jiang shook his head, "He''s going to lose."

    Shuyun was puzzled, "But Mr. Qin... it looks like Li Xu is getting the upper hand, no?"

    "It''s just an illusion. The opponent has more profound skills. Now he''s lured him into a fierce attack. At this moment, if he wants to defeat him, it''s just a matter of thought."

    Sure enough, just when everyone thought Li Xu was about to win, Liu Changxin suddenly intensified his attacks. The power surged, breaking through Li Xu''s defense and smashing a fist into his chest!

    "Pu¡ª" Li Xu was sent flying,nding on the ground and vomiting blood uncontrobly.

    The whole ce fell silent!

    "Who else wants to fight for the Zhang Family?!" Liu Changxinughed wildly after his victory, extremely arrogant.

    The faces of Zhang Haoyuan and his group were ashen.

    If they didn''t subdue these people today, their Zhang Family would certainly lose face!

    Zhang Shuyun was close to crying, "I don''t want someone giving me this giant clock at my birthday party."

    Shen Yueling gritted her teeth, "Shuyun sis, I''ll go up!"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "You''re no match for him either, going up would just be asking for humiliation."

    Shen Yueling, indignant, scoffed, "So what? Should I just cower like you?"

    Qin Jiang looked at Zhang Shuyun calmly, "Do I still owe you a birthday present?"

    "Mhm..." Zhang Shuyun nodded pitifully.

    "Alright, then I''ll help you get rid of them!"

    Qin Jiang stood up and with a leap, he was directly in front of Liu Changxin. In an instant, all eyes in the room converged on him.

    "Is that the young genius doctor?!"

    "He''s taking action?"

 Chapter 113 Instant Kill! Grandmaster Strikes!

    Qin Jiang stood with his hands sped behind his back.

    Indifferently, he said, "Two grown men picking on a young girl at her birthday party is reallycking in style. Take your giant bell and get lost!"

    Liu Changxin sneered, "Just you?!"

    "You don''t even look like someone who practices martial arts. Aren''t you afraid I''ll punch you to death with these thin arms and legs of yours?"

    Qin Jiang shook his head. "You''re not capable of that yet."

    Li Xu struggled to rise from the ground and said coldly, "Even I wasn''t his match. You''re just going to get yourself killed. Stop showing off and save yourself the embarrassment!"

    The crowd also buzzed with discussion. Indeed, Li Xu, as the heir to the Li Family Fist and born in a Martial Arts Family, was not Liu Changxin''s match! How could Qin Jiang possibly be?!

    Zhang Haoyuan and others also became extremely nervous.

    "Mr. Qin..."

    Qin Jiang calmly said, "Consider it my birthday gift to Miss Shuyun as I fight on behalf of the Zhang Family."

    Having said this, there was nothing Zhang Haoyuan and the others could do but give up.

    Zhang Shuyun''s eyes gleamed. "Mr. Qin is so cool!"

    Shen Yueling was dissatisfied. "Sister Shuyun, how can you be so infatuated? This guy is just showing off and might not even win. He might end up losing even more miserably than Li Xu."

    "Win or lose, Mr. Qin is a true man in my eyes."

    Shen Yueling: "..."

    Alright, it seemed that Shuyun was beyond help.

    Shen Tianrong furrowed his brows and analyzed, "This Liu Changxin is indeed a martial arts prodigy. At such a young age, he has already stepped half into the Grandmaster realm, with impressive talent! I''m afraid Doctor Qin is not his match!"

    Shen Yueling scoffed, "It''s time for him to learn a lesson, so he stops acting so high and mighty!"

    The people at the scene were all chatting and none of them thought well of Qin Jiang.

    Liu Changxin said coldly, "I''ll give you a chance to make a move."

    "If I make a move, you won''t have a chance," Qin Jiang replied evenly.

    Liu Changxin instantly grew furious, his stance sank sharply, and like a fierce tiger, he leaped forward. His fists, like cannonballs, bombarded toward Qin Jiang, producing a fierce sound that tore through the air!

    "Tongbei Chuan Fist!"

    "Such ferocious power, so domineering and fierce!"

    "This Liu Changxin has cultivated this fist technique to an extremely vtile realm!"

    As the onlookers were evaluating, Liu Changxin had already reached Qin Jiang.

    "Get lost!"

    Qin Jiang threw just one punch, and the overwhelming power transmitted from his dantian to his arm, creating a snapping sound like a whip with a clear tearing through the air!

    When the fists met, Liu Changxin felt an overwhelming force like andslideing at him, and with that punch, he was smashed into the ground several meters away, spewing out blood.

    He staggered back several steps, each step causing cracking lines on the floor!

    "Hiss¡ª" Explore hidden tales at §Þ??

    The crowd gasped in shock.

    One move?! With just one move, Qin Jiang had made Liu Changxin spit blood?

    This scene left them dumbfounded!

    "You..." Liu Changxin couldn''t believe it. He was at the edge of the Grandmaster realm, yet he couldn''t withstand a casual punch from Qin Jiang? That was impossible, it didn''t make any sense!

    "Again!" he said, his face unwilling, as he moved forward to continue.

    However, Qin Jiang simply lifted the man-sized bell with one hand and threw it directly at Liu Changxin. Seeing the giant bell hurtling towards him, Liu Changxin mustered all his strength, hoping to withstand this ferocious attack!

    However...

    "Puh!"

    He spat out blood, his body crushed by the iing bell, struggling to breathe, as he knelt on the ground, coughing up blood...

    The Zhang Family stood dumbfounded.

    Li Xu was bbergasted!

    Everyone was stupefied!

    After all, this was no ordinary person; this was a young Half-step to Grandmaster Realm!

    And yet, he was defeated just like that?

    "You scoundrel, how dare you harm my son! You''re just asking for death!"

    Liu Jianyu saw his son injured and erupted in fury, kicking the several hundred-pound bell over, the bell resounding continuously, causing everyone''s eardrums to ache with its thunderous noise!

    As the giant bell flew towards him, Qin Jiang was expressionless and casually pped it with his palm, sending it flying back. Liu Jianyu''s expression darkened slightly, "Not bad, you''ve got some skill."

    He flicked several sharp streams of energy into the air!

    "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

    The energy streams tore through the air and were about to hit Qin Jiang!

    "Energy projection! Attacking from a distance! This guy... is a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

    The crowd was extremely shocked.

    "Now, this young man is in danger!"

    "The difference between Inner Strength and Transformation Realm Grandmasters is like heaven and earth, the gap is toorge!"

    However, Qin Jiang waved his hand.

    In an instant, those energy streams vanished into thin air.

    Liu Jianyu took a deep breath, and as the floor shattered beneath him, he rushed forward like lightning. His steps were fast, his fists tightly clenched, surging with tremendous momentum!

    In that moment, everyone felt as if a giant mountain was pressing on their chests!

    "Is this the oppressive feeling of a Transformation Realm Grandmaster?"

    While they were in shock, Liu Jianyu had already glided over a table, its surface shattered with a touch of his feet, and his fists rained down on Qin Jiang''s chest and face like a storm!

    Qin Jiang hummed lightly, standing unmoved, and his fist violently collided with Liu Jianyu''s!

 Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Incomplete Changqing Skill

    His punch appeared quite ordinary.

    The speed wasn''t fast either.

    Everyone could see it clearly.

    But it gave off a feeling of one force breaking all methods, brimming with killing intent!

    His fist went straight through theyers of punch shadows!

    "Crack!" Continue your saga on §Þ??

    Liu Jianyu''s fist collided with his and was directly shattered, his body pitched backward!

    Qin Jiang''s figure flickered, and then, he directly grabbed Liu Jianyu''s neck as he was still in the air.

    The other hand was already clenched into a fist.

    He smashed it down!

    Liu Jianyu''s chest bones fractured, blood sprayed out on the spot, and he fell unconscious seven or eight meters away on the ground.

    The whole venue fell into dead silence!

    A Transformation Realm Grandmaster, just like that... defeated?

    They found it incredible!

    Moreover, Liu Jianyu was defeated by such a young man!

    "Good! Very good!"

    Zhang Haoyuan immediately beamed with joy and burst intoughter, "The Liu Family thought they could cause trouble at our Zhang Family, I''m afraid, they''re not qualified! Mr. Qin has helped our family once again!"

    The members of the Qin Family were dumbfounded.

    Zhang Shuyun looked at Qin Jiang with even more admiration.

    And Li Xu was smiling stiffly, his face filled with unwillingness, had he been shown up by this guy again?

    "A Transformation Realm Grandmaster!" Shen Tianrong was also showing astonishment, "Such a young Transformation Realm Grandmaster is indeed rare, Mr. Qin truly excels in both medicine and martial arts, a talent hard toe by..."

    Qin Jiang stared coldly at Liu Changxin, taking steps towards him, "Take your clock, and your father, and get out! You have ten seconds!"

    "You brat... Today''s humiliation, my Liu Family will remember, just you wait!"

    After dropping a harsh line, Liu Changxin scrambled to leave the ce.

    This time, Father and Son Liu were defeated by Qin Jiang alone, losing face in front of all these witnesses.

    From now on, they would not be able to hold their heads up in the martial arts world.

    Qin Jiang returned to his seat with an expressionless face, as Li Xu''splexion turned ashen, "You''re so powerful yourself, why didn''t you go up earlier? Did you deliberately make me look foolish?"

    "Don''t make meugh." Qin Jiang scoffed, "You were the one who insisted on showing off, what does it have to do with me? I thought you could handle it, but it turns out, I had to take action in the end."

    "You..." Li Xu was beside himself with anger.

    Zhang Shuyun said, "Li Xu, enough! Mr. Qin has also helped you vent your anger, what more do you want? Besides, was it not yourck of strength and yet you still me Mr. Qin?"

    Li Xu was at a loss for words.

    Shen Yueling also hadn''t expected Qin Jiang to be so powerful, truly shocking her.

    However, she didn''t have any good feelings towards Qin Jiang.

    Shen Tianrong spoke with a smile and pleasing manner, "Young Qin, at such a young age, you are already a Martial Arts Grandmaster! Such talent is truly outstanding in the entire martial arts world!"

    "Have you ever considered joining our Martial Arts Bureau?"

    "Sorry, I''m not interested," Qin Jiang shook his head, showing no interest.

    Shen Tianrong said with a smile, "If you join the Martial Arts Bureau, there are many benefits."

    "After all, our Martial Arts Bureau is a special department in the Divine Land, executing various special missions, managing the order among martial artists, and holding special privileges."

    "Joining us can help you avoid many risks."

    Qin Jiang shook his head again, "Maybe another time."

    Seeing that Qin Jiang wasn''t interested, Shen Tianrong could only sigh.

    "Elder Mr. Shen, let me check your health condition first," Qin Jiang said.

    Shen Tianrong extended his hand.

    Qin Jiang immediately took his pulse, and after a moment, he said, "Mr. Shen, you can no longer continue practicing this martial arts technique. Otherwise, your injury will be even more severe."

    "In fact, you must have felt it yourself, the technique you''re practicing is just an iplete version, which is why practicing it damages your heart and lungs."

    "Though not apparent, years of umtion are extremely terrifying."

    "The older you get, the more severe it bes."

    Shen Tianhua was taken aback, "Indeed, as I''ve practiced to this point, even the slightest movement of Inner Strength causes extreme pain in my heart and lungs. I thought it was due to my body, I never expected..."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Elder Mr. Shen, would you mind sharing the technique you practice with me?"

    "I practice the Changqing Skill," Shen Tianrong said.

    "Changqing Skill..." Qin Jiang''s eyes flickered, then he said, "Mr. Zhang, could you bring over some paper and a pen?"

    Zhang Haoyuan was somewhat baffled, but nevertheless, he obediently did as Qin Jiang had asked.

    Shen Tianrong asked curiously, "Mr. Qin, what are you..."

    Qin Jiang replied with a light smile, "I just happen to have seen theplete version of Changqing Skill; I still have some memory of it. Perhaps, I can be of help to you, Mr. Shen. You can take a look."

    The Crazy Old Man had made him read these so-called martial arts techniques plenty of times when he was in prison.

    He was already extensively familiar with the top techniques of all the major sects and families.

    Changqing Skill was one of them.

    Although he only practiced the Supreme Dao Scripture, he was well-versed in other techniques as well.

    Shen Yueling pursed her lips, "Just keep bragging! The Changqing Skill has been passed down in our Shen Family for over a hundred years, and we are unaware of others knowing our secret technique."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Is an iplete technique that valuable?"

 Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Discussing Business!

    ```

    "You¡ª"

    ```

    Shen Yueling was furious. The technique passed down by her ancestors in the Shen Family was extremely formidable.

    Thanks to this iplete technique, Shen Tianrong rose to the position of Director of the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Arts Bureau, and she, Shen Yueling, relying on the Changqing Skill, reached the pinnacle of Inner Strength at a young age!

    This demonstrated the formidable power of the Changqing Skill.

    Yet now, Qin Jiang had dismissed it as worthless.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "The Changqing Skill you practice is iplete, and that is beyond any doubt."

    "Moreover, the reason you couldn''t restrain yourself that day was probably due to the drawbacks of the Changqing Skill."

    "You¡­" Shen Yueling was dumbfounded; she suddenly realized that since she started practicing the Changqing Skill, she indeed had tendencies in that direction, which sent chills down her spine.

    Could it be that he was telling the truth?

    Soon, Zhang Haoyuan brought out a piece of paper.

    "Mr. Qin, please¡ª"

    Qin Jiang took the paper and pen and then, his writing was vigorous and fluid as he wrote down the Changqing Skill he remembered.

    He handed the final copy to Shen Tianrong.

    Upon reading it, Shen Tianrong was shocked beyond measure. The Changqing Skill Qin Jiang wrote was exactly the same as the one they practiced, with no differences noticed in the early stages.

    But the differences became major further in the text.

    The Changqing Skill written by Qin Jiang was moreplete and even more natural.

    The Shen Family''s inherited Changqing Skill had been burnt by fire before.

    As a result, some of the words were no longer clear, and they could only grope their way through practice.

    However, thisplete version of the Changqing Skill written by Qin Jiang left Shen Tianrong astonished!

    "From now on, you should practice this version," said Qin Jiang indifferently. "Of course, if you don''t trust me, then never mind, it''s up to you."

    Shen Tianrong took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Qin, you''re joking. This technique is obviously theplete version, flowing seamlessly without any obstruction. I''ll remember your kindness to the Shen Family!"

    Qin Jiang replied, "Don''t mention it."

    "Next, let me treat your illness."

    After that, Qin Jiang went out with Shen Tianrong, directly to thetter''s vi.

    Following the acupuncture, Shen Tianrong spat out a mouthful of foul blood.

    Qin Jiang then prescribed him a medicinal form.

    "Great! Thank you, Mr. Qin. I, Shen Tianrong, will never forget your immense kindness!"

    Shen Tianrong was overjoyed; he now felt much lighter in his body.

    The feeling of blockage in his chest had also disappeared.

    "You need not be courteous."

    Having done all this, Qin Jiang turned and left.

    "Qin Jiang, Qin Jiang!" Qin Xiao and Qin Er, among others, chased after him.

    "Is there something wrong?" Qin Jiang spoke with a detached tone.

    "Qin Jiang, after all, we''re family. Why are you so cold to us? Oh right, you''re quite familiar with Mr. Zhang; can you introduce us to him?" And that Elder Mr. Shen, I heard he''s also a big shot..."

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Sorry, I''m not a member of the Qin Family, and I''m also not familiar with you. You can leave now."

    After speaking, Qin Jiang turned and walked away. Stay updated via §Þ??

    He had no desire to deal with them anymore.

    "Qin Jiang, Qin Jiang..." Seeing Qin Jiang being so indifferent, they stamped their feet in anger behind him.

    "Ingrate! Pah, he really thinks he''s a phoenix that has ascended to the branches?"

    "Exactly! He thinks he is so great!"

    They angrily used him.

    However, Qin Jiang paid no mind to them. These people had once driven his mother and him, both alone and helpless, out of the house. And now, they shamelessly tried to cozy up to him?

    Qin Jiang drove back home.

    Xu Muge made a phone call, saying she was meeting a client tonight and asked him to apany her.

    Naturally, Qin Jiang had no objections.

    "Mom, Sisi, this is a house that a friend just sent to us. Let''s pick a time to move in," said Qin Jiang as he ced the keys on the table.

    "A house?" Wen Wenling was surprised. "When did you buy a house?"

    Qin Jiang smiled, "It''s a gift from a friend. We can just move in; no need to think too much about it."

    Wen Wenling sighed, "But such an expensive gift..."

    "If someone is willing to give it to me, it proves that the value I brought them is worth much more."

    Wen Wenling was moved and eventually agreed, "That does make sense."

    After having dinner at home, Qin Jiang went straight to Xu Muge''s ce.

    Xu Muge walked out in a white dress with a handbag, her smile blooming like flowers when she saw Qin Jiang and promptly sat down in the passenger seat.

    "I didn''t expect you to be so punctual."

    Qin Jiang teased her nose yfully, "How dare I bete?"

    "By the way, who is the client you are meeting today?"

    Xu Muge exined, "Didn''t I mention starting apany? I n to cooperate with the Beauty Aristocratic Family and get authorization for the medicinal form before starting production."

    "But it''s really pointless to talk about this now, as I don''t have a penny on hand. I guess I''ll need to go to the bank and take out a proper loan to make the first move."

    Qin Jiang reassured her, "Don''t worry, you''ll make it work."

    "But... you really don''t need to cooperate with these Beauty Aristocratic Families. I''ll give you a few medicinal recipes that should be far more effective than those so-called aristocratic family forms."

 Chapter 116 Drugging!

    Xu Muge said, "Let''s talk about itter, the main thing is that the Rong Family is a benchmark in the beauty market. Being able to work with them will make our promotion a bit easier."

    "Got it." Qin Jiang nodded slightly, not saying much more.

    Soon, Qin Jiang brought Xu Muge to the agreed meeting ce.

    Qin Jiang said, "Remember, if anything happens, call me immediately, understand?"

    Xu Muge shook her phone and said, "Don''t worry, I''ve already set you as my emergency contact. Just one press on the phone will get me through to you."

    Qin Jiang sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and quietly waited for Xu Muge to finish talking.

    Xu Muge was cautious today; after all, Zhao Yuefei had said that Mr. Rong was not exactly a saint, so she had brought Qin Jiang with her.

    Meanwhile, inside one of the private rooms.

    With slicked-back hair and handsome features, Rong Zhilin held a cigar in his mouth andughed, "Chen, is everything set for tonight?"

    "Hahaha¡ª" The young man known as Chen smiled faintly and said, "How could I let any mishaps happen with something Mr. Rong has tasked me with? Just take a look, this is some of the best stuff we''ve gotten recently."

    "No matter how chaste and strong-willed she is, once she gets a taste, I guarantee she''ll be wilder than the girls in the brothel! Mr. Rong, you''re in for a treat tonight!"

    At those words, Rong Zhilin chuckled, taking the item from Chen''s hand.

    "Then I have to thank you, Brother Chen."

    Chen smiled and said, "Not at all, it''s my honor to be of use to Mr. Rong! In the future, if Mr. Rong has any lucrative business, don''t forget to include me!"

    "Don''t worry, we''re good brothers."

    Chen chuckled, "Rest assured, no one will disturb Mr. Rong''s mood in my establishment. I''ve taken care of everything for you."

    "By the way, Mr. Rong, you can have a little taste of this. It will enhance your vigor."

    "Really?" Rong Zhilin smiled more proudly, "Nice, nice, thoughtful indeed."

    "The person is about to arrive, you should leave now so as not to be discovered and cause trouble," Rong Zhilin said.

    "Yes, yes, of course!"

    Chen left obsequiously.

    Rong Zhilin then poured the contents into the drinks on the table.

    After a few minutes, Xu Muge, carrying a bag, walked in slowly.

    Upon seeing Xu Muge, Rong Zhilin''s expression instantly brightened.

    "Hello, Mr. Rong, I am Xu Muge!"

    "Hello, hello!"

    Rong Zhilin immediately stood up, his eyes fixed on Xu Muge, unable to look away as he reached out his hand.

    Xu Muge politely shook hands with him.

    Feeling the soft touch in his hand, Rong Zhilin forgot to let go.

    Xu Muge felt ufortable and said, "Mr. Rong, let''s sit down first..."

    "Yes, yes!"

    Rong Zhilin retracted his hand with embarrassment, his eyes full of awkwardness.

    Even if he was eager, he shouldn''t have shown it so obviously.

    He wouldn''t dare to force his hand with someone like Zhao Yuefei, a frigid CEO, because with her dominant personality, if he dared to harass her, Zhao Yuefei would probably tear him apart. But he wasn''t scared of Xu Muge, having looked into her background and found nothing intimidating.

    Over the years, he had conned and cajoled his way with many such respectable young women.

    So, today he was determined to have Xu Muge.

    "Hmm¡ª"

    Taking a deep breath, Rong Zhilin suppressed the excitement in his heart.

    "Please, take a seat¡ª"

    "Miss Xu really lives up to her reputation, stunningly beautiful. Your looks and temperament took my breath away. I truly apologize for my earlier behavior," he said.

    "I''ll penalize myself with a drink!"

    After saying that, he pretended to reopen the already opened bottle of foreign liquor and adjusted it slightly.

    Then he slowly drank it.

    Seeing him like this, Xu Muge didn''t want to make an issue of it.

    Rong Zhilin seized the opportunity to pour her a ss of wine and said, "Miss Muge,e, let''s have a drink. It''s easier to talk business when we''re rxed."

    "This..." Xu Muge said hesitantly, "I''m not very good at drinking, can I not have any?"

    At her words, Rong Zhilinughed awkwardly and said, "Ah, that was inconsiderate of me."

    "Then, Miss Xu, you should have some juice instead."

    He enthusiastically poured her a ss of orange juice while he poured himself some of the prepared liquor.

    "Cheers!"

    Seeing him insist, Xu Muge could not refuse and drank it all in one gulp.

    Rong Zhilin smiled. Lucky for him, he hade prepared. Did this woman really think she could escape so easily?

    As they chatted idly, about ten minutes passed. Then Xu Muge got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Rong, I want to cooperate with the Rong Family to get authorization for some recipes to produce beauty products."

    "Do you think that''s possible, Mr. Rong?"

    Rong Zhilin frowned, feigning difficulty, "Miss Xu, this is a bit challenging!"

    "Why is that?" Xu Muge''s heart tightened.

    "There''s significant pressure from the family side. After all, the Rong Family usually only coborates with bigpanies. We don''t work with just any smallpany. I''m afraid your conditions might be a bit difficult¡­"

    "However, if you''re willing to pay a price, it''s not impossible."

    "It all depends on your sincerity."

    Upon hearing this, Xu Muge''s expression darkened, "Mr. Rong, what do you mean?"

    Rong Zhilin replied, "You are so beautiful and smart, Miss Xu. You should understand what I mean."

    Rong Zhilin felt a gradual warmth spreading through his body.

    The drug was taking effect.

    He saw Xu Muge''s pretty face flushing as well, and he could not help but sneer inwardly.

    Gradually, Xu Muge felt something was off too.

    "Mr. Rong, if you want to negotiate terms, fine, I can give you a bigger cut. But I am not the kind of woman you think I am¡­" she said coldly, rejecting him.

    Rong Zhilin scoffed, "Why the pretense? Women are all the same! Let me tell you, if you want to break into the beauty industry, you have to go through me! If you make me happy, I can give you what you want!"

    He was tired of pretending and reached out to grab Xu Muge.

    However...

    "p!"

    In desperation, Xu Muge pped his face hard, grabbed her bag, and rushed to the door, only to find when she touched the doorknob... the door was locked from the outside!

 Chapter 117 Turned into a Eunuch!

    Seeing this scene, Xu Muge''s face turned deathly pale!

    Outside, had someone locked the door from the outside?

    She hadn''t expected that Rong Zhilin would dare to be so bold as to... in broad daylight...

    Moreover, there were others outside aiding him from within. This time, she truly was like amb walking into a tiger''s den!

    "Slut, you dare to strike Mr. Rong!" Rong Zhilin flew into a rage, charging forward and delivering a heavy p to Xu Muge!

    "Smack!"

    Xu Muge was struck against the wall, letting out a stifled groan, as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

    Rong Zhilin, touching his still burning cheek, grabbed Xu Muge''s hair, his face twisting into a sinister smile, "You really thought I''de unprepared! Don''t worry, there''s no escape for you today!"

    "Here, inside and out, everyone is Mr. Rong''s man, even if you scream your lungs out, no one wille to rescue you!"

    He brutally threw Xu Muge onto the sofa!

    Xu Muge trembled, her teeth clenched as she said, "Rong Zhilin, if you darey a finger on me, your end will be very miserable!"

    As she spoke, she reached into her pocket and pressed the emergency call button!

    Rong Zhilin sneered, licking the corners of his mouth, leering at Xu Muge''s exquisite body, "Miss Xu, rest assured, I''m very skilled. Soon, you will be feeling very good..."

    "Oh right, I also spiked your drink with something to lighten the mood!"

    "Despicable..." Xu Muge seethed with rage, not having expected him to stoop so low.

    "Despicable? It doesn''t matter. To get my hands on a beauty like you, what''s a little viiny? Soon, you''ll lose yourself to pleasure and fallpletely."

    "Oh, and this ce has surveince and video recording capabilities. I''ll need to save the footage for your enjoymentter. From now on, you''ll obediently be Mr. Rong''s bitch! Otherwise... you''ll have to wait for your shameful, pleading self to be disyed publicly!"

    Xu Muge felt a fierce shudder in her heart then quickly her eyes flitted about, she said, "Mr. Rong, I was out of line just now. It was wrong of me to treat you in that manner."

    "Actually... I''m not entirely opposed to it... It''s just, could we change the ce? It''s too embarrassing here..."

    Xu Muge tried her best to stall for time.

    She knew Qin Jiang woulde to rescue her; she just needed a little bit of time!

    Outside, Qin Jiang''s phone suddenly vibrated. Discovering a call from Xu Muge, his eyes darkened abruptly.

    "Something''s wrong?!"

    He got out of the car directly and forced his way inside.

    "Sir, you need a membership to..."

    "Get lost!" Qin Jiang didn''t bother with the security guards at the door and made his way inside.

    As the security guards approached to intercept him, Qin Jiang swung his arm forcefully, sending the guards flying away. In a matter of seconds, Qin Jiang had rushed to the third floor!

    Room v3888!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes swept across each private room, filled with urgency, until after rounding a corner, he saw that the room number opposite was v3888!

    He immediately quickened his pace!

    Suddenly...

    "Kid! What are you doing? No loitering here! Get lost!"

    A burly man in ck pointed at him and shouted coldly.

    "If you disturb Mr. Rong''s good time, you better watch out, or we''ll y you alive!"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang''s gaze turned ice cold.

    Chen, holding a cigarette between his fingers, sauntered over, "Brother, I''m the boss here, inside..."

    Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Jiang had already grabbed him by the throat and hoisted him up! The suffocating sensation made Chen struggle wildly!

    Qin Jiang threw him against the wall, nearly making him vomit his internal organs!

    "Those who block my way will face the consequences!"

    Chen coughed wildly and roared, "Stop him! Beat him half to death for Mr. Rong to handle!"

    The ck-clothed enforcers charged fiercely at thatmand!

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

    Qin Jiang swept through them, sending the burly men flying away, their bodies mming into the walls as they spat blood, then copsed on the ground, unable to rise, staring at Qin Jiang in fear!

    Qin Jiang picked up Chen, a torrent of murderous intent around him, "So you are the boss here?!"

    "Yes, yes, yes..." Chen was petrified, his legs quivering uncontrobly.

    "It seems you''re part of this mess too." Qin Jiang''s voice was ice cold as he dragged Chen by the neck forward, Chen struggling frantically but unable to break free from Qin Yan''s vice-like grip!

    From the room, a faint sound of struggle reached Qin Jiang''s ears, igniting a ze of anger within him. He hurled Chen violently toward the room''s door, which erupted open amidst Chen''s piercing screams and a thunderous crash!

    "What the fuck..." Rong Zhilin was shocked; how could anyone dare to burst in and ruin his moment?

    As he turned around, he felt a terrifying killing intent lock onto him!

    The next moment... Qin Jiang''s eyes shed bloodthirsty as he vanished from the spot!

    Then...

    "Aaah!!!" Rong Zhilin''s body flew like a broken rag doll, smashing a chair to pieces, spewing blood from his mouth, his body seeming to fall apart!

    Without giving him time to react, Qin Jiang stepped on his face, grinding it underfoot. In a chilling voice, Qin Jiang made him tremble uncontrobly, "You tell me! Daring to touch my woman, should I turn you into a woman, or should I make you a eunuch?!"

 Chapter 118 Qin Jiang, Help Meâ€¦ Cool Down

    Rong Zhilin couldn''t stop trembling, his legs kicking wildly as he moved backward.

    In his expression, terror was written all over.

    "Huff¡ª"

    "You you you... don''te any closer!" Rong Zhilin''s courage had been scared out of him at this point, where was there any desire left?

    Seeing the murderous look in Qin Jiang''s eyes, he felt a chill down below...

    Qin Jiang sneered, "When you were trying tomit your deeds with that little eel of yours just now, you weren''t so talkative, were you?"

    "I''m the eldest son of the Rong Family, the Beauty Aristocratic Family. Have you heard of it? I have a lot of money! A great deal of money, whatever you want... I can give you money!"

    "Money?" Qin Jiang sneered in disdain, "Sorry, I don''t need that stuff!"

    Rong Zhilin continued, "It wasn''t my fault, it was all this guy, all his bad ideas!"

    In his desperation, he frantically pointed at Chen.

    "I''m an upright young man, it was this guy who taught me to do this, if you want to waste someone, waste him!"

    "I..." Chen, with a bloodied head, was at a loss for words.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Tell me, what exactly did he tell you to do?"

    Rong Zhilin''s lips trembled, and finally, he said, "He told me to add something to the drinks! To add a bit of fun, and I obediently did it..."

    "It was really my first time doing something like this!"

    He said pitifully.

    When Chen saw the terrifying look in Qin Jiang''s eyes, how could he be willing to take the me?

    "Mr. Rong, that''s not right. You asked me for that stuff, and besides, you''ve done this many times before, haven''t you? Before at my shop, I''ve been forced to stand guard for you numerous times."

    "You..." Rong Zhilin, seeing that Chen dared to stab him in the back, was furious.

    "Scum, both of you!" Qin Jiang''s face was full of disdain.

    This kind of scum, if not eradicated, who knows how many young girls would continue to be harmed!

    "Since you both enjoy ying so much, today I''ll let you have all the fun you want..."

    He picked up a bottle of liquor from the table and poured it directly into Rong Zhilin''s mouth. Rong Zhilin''s mouth was forcibly pried open, blocked by the bottle, leaving him no way to breathe!

    Gurgle gurgle!

    Most of the bottle was down Rong Zhilin''s throat in an instant, making his face turn rapidly red.

    Qin Jiang kicked him right in the groin!

    "Ah¡ª"

    A pitiful scream rang out as Rong Zhilin clutched his pants and slowly slid down to his knees...

    The pitiful screams echoed through the entire private room!

    Chen was trembling all over, and wet himself on the spot.

    This was a true ruthless man!

    Qin Jiang, holding the bottle, approached Chen.

    "No, no..." Chen''s face was full of fear.

    Qin Jiang forcibly jammed the bottle into his mouth and poured it down!

    Soon, both of them had reddened faces, and with such arge dose of drugs, their reactions were particrly strong.

    Qin Jiang dragged them into another private room and locked them in.

    Let the two men fence with each other!

    The thugs all exchanged nces, not daring to step forward to interfere.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Remember, don''t go in and disturb them, or beware I''ll kill you."

    "Yes, yes, yes..."

    Qin Jiang, carrying the burning hot Xu Muge, exited from the interior.

    And from the opposite private room, Chen''s growls and Rong Zhilin''s screams could already be heard...

    Qin Jiang thought coldly, instructing Heizi to hack into the KTV''s surveince, to directly retrieve this segment of the video, making both Rong Zhilin and his aplice utterly disgraced!

    Yet... that was still not enough to quell his rage!

    Qin Jiang took Xu Muge back to the car.

    Xu Muge was unbearably hot all over, feeling as if she was in a furnace, constantly reaching out to tear at her clothes. Qin Jiang, feeling quite helpless, could only hold her hands.

    "Qin Jiang, I''m hot..." Xu Muge''s cheeks were now as red as apples, oozing seduction. The heat from her breath sprayed onto Qin Jiang''s face, causing his heart to involuntarily tremble.

    In the moment he was stunned, a soft and warm sensation covered his lips, and he was pulled down... Xu Muge''s slender legs wrapped around him.

    The utterly charming and alluring posture in front of him was something no one could resist!

    "Qin Jiang, relieve my heat¡­" Xu Muge muttered dreamily from her coral lips, the pleading voice invading every inch of Qin Jiang''s nerves...

    Qin Jiang''s breathing halted, and with a grit of his teeth, he shut the car door with the back of his hand!

 Chapter 119: Chapter 119 The Most Shameless!

    Originally, he had thought of taking Xu Muge back and then detoxifying her from the poison.

    Now it seemed he needed to resolve the issue immediately!

    After taking a deep breath, his fingers rapidly tapped a few points on Xu Muge''s body.

    Only then did Xu Muge slowly start to calm down.

    However, her fair skin still showed an abnormal flush of red.

    The breath she exhaled was still scorching hot.

    Qin Jiang thought to himself, "It seems I really need to use True Qi to force the medicinal effect out of her body, these two bastards truly deserve to die!"

    If he hadn''te today¡­

    The consequences would have been unimaginable!

    Just a bitter, and Xu Muge would have been defiled by that beast!

    Qin Jiang''s palm rested on Xu Muge''s body, then True Qi slowly transferred from his hand into Xu Muge, dispelling the residual effects of the medicine. However, this was too slow.

    He thought for a moment and then gently lifted Xu Muge''s clothes to her lower abdomen, exposing her t belly, and gently massaged some acupoints.

    Soon, ayer of fragrant sweat appeared on Xu Muge''s body.

    The True Qi entered her body through the acupoints, forcing the toxins in her body out.

    About ten minutester.

    A trace of rity finally returned to Xu Muge''s eyes!

    "Qin Jiang¡­" Xu Muge, seeing the slight paleness on Qin Jiang''s face, couldn''t help but blush, although it was because of the medicinal effects, she still had some recollection.

    Qin Jiang exhaled and said, "It''s all right now."

    "Mm¡­" Xu Muge wished she could find a hole to crawl into, her behavior just now¡­ was just too embarrassing.

    "Don''t worry, those two guys have already paid the price," Qin Jiang said coldly.

    Rong Zhilin had his manhood crushed by Qin Jiang''s kick.

    Right now, he must be howling under Chen Fei.

    And soon, the video of their rendezvous would be released, subject to public scrutiny and ridicule.

    Afterforting Xu Muge a bit, Qin Jiang then took her back home.

    On the way, Qin Jiang said, "Don''t worry about the form matter, I will arrange everything for you."

    "To me, it''s not a big deal at all."

    "The Rong Family''s cosmetic form is nothing special, just a pile of useless mud."

    "This¡­" Xu Muge was at a loss for words.

    Qin Jiang said, "Have you forgotten about the medicine Ipounded for you before, to treat scars?"

    Xu Muge''s eyes lit up at the mention!

    The medicine Qin Jiang hadpounded for her before had miraculous effects; if it were indeed marketed, it would definitely sweep the cosmetics market!

    "That medicine¡­ can you still make it?"

    "Of course!" Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "It has always been a simple matter for me."

    "You go back and rest for now, I will send the form to you."

    "Mm-hmm." Xu Muge nodded.

    Even if it were just this form alone, it would be absolutely terrifying, after all, it could heal even the horrific scar on her face.

    Minor scars would naturally not be a problem.

    Qin Jiang took Xu Muge home, but when they arrived, they found several people inside the Xu Family house.

    "Oh, Muge is back?" A middle-aged woman''s eyes lit up immediately upon seeing Muge.

    "Second Aunt?" Xu Muge was taken aback. The woman in front of her was indeed her second aunt, Liu Yue.

    "Looks like you still remember your auntie," Liu Yue said with a grin so wide it looked like she couldn''t close her mouth, as she stepped forward and affectionately took Xu Muge''s hand.

    Xu Muge didn''t know how to react, and awkwardly withdrew her hand without leaving any trace, her expression sour, "Auntie, howe you have so much free time to visit our family?"

    It''s true that Liu Yue was her aunt, but the Xu Family didn''t get along well with Liu Yue''s family.

    Back when Xu Muge was the golden child in the Xu Family, Liu Yue''s family didn''t skimp on buttering them up, even repeatedly borrowing money from them, amounting to several hundred thousand over time.

    Later, when Xu Muge''s family fell on hard times and asked them to repay the debt, they were humiliated by Liu Yue''s family who even said that Xu Muge had turned into a freak and would never be able to marry off.

    Liu Yue said with augh, "I just came to see how big sister and you were doing. Muge really is getting prettier as she grows!"

    Xu Muge scoffed, "Aren''t I just a disfigured freak anyway?"

    Liu Yue''s face stiffened as she replied, "Muge, you really have quite the sense of humor..."

    Xu Mulin said coldly, "Auntie, if there''s nothing else, please leave."

    He felt a repulsion and disgust for his calctive auntie that he couldn''t describe.

    Liu Yue said, "It''s like this... Recently our Liu Family has run into some difficulties, and we were hoping to borrow some money to tide us over. I heard that your store, Mulin, has been doing quite welltely, so you must have some money, right?"

    "No money!" Xu Mulin replied coldly.

    Liu Yue''s daughter, Zhuang Yutong, said icily, "How can you have no money? You just don''t want to lend it, right?"

    Xu Muge replied coldly, "You haven''t even repaid what you borrowed, and you still have the nerve to ask for more? Without interest, it''s already five hundred thousand!"

    Liu Yue said displeasedly, "You child! How can you talk to your elders like that? Are we not going to repay it? We just haven''t repaid it yet! We''re about to discuss a business deal with Longting Group and need some working capital! When we borrow the money from you and make a profit, won''t we have the money to pay you back?"

    "Mulin, if you sell the shop, you should be able to raise two or three hundred thousand. I''ll contact someone to negotiate with you properly, and once you get the money, we can lend it to your auntie, how about that?"

    Xu Muge was truly disgusted. How could these people be so shameless?

    Zhuang Yutong said mockingly, "Oh, think you''ve turned into a phoenix perched atop a branch, have you? I heard that you were kicked out by the Xu Family again. Aren''t you just a bunch of penniless nobodies now? What''s with the act?"

    "Mom, why bother borrowing from them? Our Liu Family is much wealthier than them now!"

    "Our dad can make a couple of million a year, and this bunch of paupers probably can''t earn that much even in three to five years! It''s hrious!"

    Seeing that they would not be able to borrow any money, Zhuang Yutong started to mock them outright.

    Xu Muge sneered, "Since the Zhuang Family is so rich, why don''t you repay the money?"

    "Laughable! Why should we repay the money we earned with our own abilities? Besides, do you have any evidence that we borrowed money from you? Even if I don''t repay it, what can you do about it?"

    She looked self-righteous, which made the people from the Xu Family tremble with anger.

    "Liu Yue, you''re not wee here, take your daughter and get lost!" Liu Ya bellowed angrily.

    Seeing that negotiations were getting nowhere, Liu Yue''s hideous true face was revealed, "So you really are poor assholes, unable toe up with twenty or thirty thousand! You deserve to be poor for the rest of your lives!"

    "Yutong, let''s go¡ª"

    Liu Yue picked up the few dozen pieces of fruit she had brought as a gift, preparing to leave.

    Zhuang Yutong continued to sneer, "Just wait! You''ll regret not cherishing the chance to strike it rich. All you dead paupers are just bad luck!"

    Xu Muge''s beautiful face turned red with anger.

    As the mother and daughter cursed their way to the exit, Qin Jiang blocked their path.

    "Want to leave? Pay back the money first."

    With someone as shameless as them, Qin Jiang was not about to be polite.

    It was one thing to default on a loan, but they had also insulted Xu Muge and her family. What annoyed him the most was the ugly true face they showed when they couldn''t get what they wanted. Today, he was going to deal with them properly!

    "Who are you!" Zhuang Yutong yelled, "Get out of the way for missy here! If you touch a single hair on me, missy will..."

    "p!" Qin Jiang gave her a p across the face!

    Zhuang Yutong immediately let out a shriek, her cheek burning with pain as she clenched her teeth.

    "You dare to hit me?!"

    "p!" Qin Jiang pped her again, "Which one of your dog eyes saw me hit you? Do you have evidence?"

 Chapter 120 Publicly or Privately Settled?!

    "You, you, you¡ª" Zhuang Yutong fumed, "You''re asking for it!"

    "p!" Qin Jiang''s p sent her tumbling to the ground, "How did you end up falling to the ground? These days, framing people is a crime, you know?"

    "You hit my daughter. I''m going to fight you!" Liu Yue charged at him, teeth bared and ws ready.

    Qin Jiang kicked her in the abdomen.

    "Thud¡ª" Liu Yue copsed to the ground, wailing miserably, drenched in cold sweat; she couldn''t have looked more pathetic.

    "Why did you run into me?"

    Qin Jiang, smiling, said, "Framing people like this isn''t nice, and I''m not the kind of person you can just frame."

    "You, you, you¡­"

    Liu Yue and her daughter were nearly apoplectic with rage.

    They felt like their lungs were about to explode!

    Meanwhile, Xu Jinhong and the others felt an unprecedented sense of relief¡ªso satisfying!

    It seems... it really takes a viin to grind down another viin!

    Zhuang Yutong struggled to her feet, shouting furiously, "What the hell? Are you looking for death?"

    "I''m telling you, you''d betterpensate me tens of thousands for this, or it won''t end!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Do you have any proof that I hit you? Is there any surveince here? Just your word for it?"

    "Oh, right¡­"

    "Even if you get a medical exam, at most, it''ll be considered minor injuries! Giving you two hundred is already generous!"

    Zhuang Yutong''s fists clenched in rage!

    "You just wait!"

    Qin Jiang coldly said, "Wait for what?"

    "Am I supposed to be afraid of you? I''ve grown up without ever seeing anyone as shameless as you!"

    Qin Jiang turned his head to ask Xu Muge, "Muge, how much do they owe our family?"

    Xu Muge said, "Five hundred thousand."

    Qin Jiang nodded, then turned to look at Liu Yue and her daughter, and stated frostily, "Within three days, bring back one million, including interest, to repay the Xu Family, or else, you''ll rot in jail! We''ll make sure the Liu Family goes bankrupt!"

    "Remember..."

    "I do what I say!"

    "Ha, who do you think you are? The Liu Family isn''t to be trifled with!"

    "You''ve got the guts? Then stay right here and wait!"

    "Alright, I''ll wait!" Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "I really want to see what kind of tricks you''re going to pull!"

    "Mom, let''s go¡ª" Zhuang Yutong shot Qin Jiang a venomous look before marching towards the door with Liu Yue.

    The mother and daughter left the Xu Family''s ce in utter disgrace.

    However, the moment they stepped out of the Xu Family''s doorway, Qin Jiang''s fingertips twitched slightly, and two streams of True Qi burst forth, causing both to feel a sharp pain in their legs. Their footing faltered, and with a thud, they stumbled forward, nose-diving into the ground, bloodied and utterly humiliated.

    Qin Jiang scoffed, "Can''t even walk straight, huh? If you''re so keen on licking the floor, why don''t you get your fill before leaving?"

    Hearing Qin Jiang''s mockery, the two scrambled up from their humiliation and red fiercely at him!

    Just as they reached the stairs, Zhuang Yutong made a phone call, "Han Feng, I need you to teach someone a lesson! Now, immediately, bring your people here!"

    "Tongtong, who is this guy?" Han Feng quickly asked.

    "Stop talking nonsense. Are youing or not?!"

    "I''m on my way!" Han Feng hastened to reply, "I''ll bring my boxing gym''s crew right over!"

    Han Feng was nodding like apliant pup.

    "This time, I''ll make you pay a painful price!" Zhuang Yutong''s eyes seethed with resentment.

    Twenty minutester!

    Downstairs, several cars hastily pulled up!

    A tall man wearing a tank top charged up with a group of young and strong men in tow.

    "Hurry, hurry, keep up!" Han Feng''s tone was urgent.

    He had been pursuing Zhuang Yutong for a long time, and she had never given him the time of day. Now that he finally had the chance to prove himself, how could he let it slip away? So, the moment Zhuang Yutong called him, he rushed over!

    "Yutong!"

    Upon seeing Zhuang Yutong, Han Feng greeted her with a smile.

    Zhuang Yutong didn''t bother with small talk and led him upstairs directly to the Xu Family''s front door.

    "Brought people over?"

    Qin Jiang sat on the sofa, raising an eyebrow toward the door.

    As expected, a group of young men charged into the Xu Family''s home like a school of fish!

    "Who are you?" Xu Jinjiang barked coldly, asking.

    "That''s him!" Zhuang Yutong shouted angrily, "Han Feng, this guy pped me several times. If you don''t give him a severe lesson today, don''t expect me to pay you any attention ever again!"

    "Yutong, don''t worry, I''ll teach him a lesson right away!" Han Feng quickly brownnosed.

    "Crack! Crack!" Han Feng approached with a stern face.

    Zhuang Yutong watched with arms crossed, indifferent. Although Han Feng was just an inconspicuousckey to her, he was still a boxing instructor and, it was said, had won awards.

    Beating Qin Jiang up would be a piece of cake!

    "I didn''t expect you''d bring ackey over. I thought it was someone of importance. Turns out, it''s just a pretty face." Qin Jiang mocked indifferently.

    "You''re asking for it!" Han Feng furiously eximed. How dare this guy call him ackey?

    And say he was all show!

    He quickly stepped forward, aiming a punch at Qin Jiang!

    However...

    Qin Jiang''s fist casually swung out!

    "Crack!"

    A sharp pain shot through Han Feng''s hand. His arm fractured, and immediately after, Qin Jiang swept him onto the ground, his foot pressing down on Han Feng''s head!

    "It seems the lesson I gave you earlier wasn''t enough; you even dared to bring people to my door!"

    "Let me go!" Han Feng struggled violently.

    Qin Jiang stomped down several times. Han Feng screamed in agony, feeling as if his head would explode. Only then did he dare not move.

    "Big Brother, I was wrong, please let me go..."

    "I''ll give you a chance. Bring that woman over here, or today you''ll leave horizontally!" Qin Jiang lightly pped his cheek, his voice cold, "Looking at your gear, you''re boxers, right? I believe you don''t want your limbs broken and your career ruined!"

    At these words, Han Feng trembled with fear, "I... I''ll do as you say!"

    "Hurry up and grab them for me!" Han Feng yelled at his subordinates.

    "Han Feng, you..." Zhuang Yutong and Liu Yue were shocked and appalled.

    "What do you mean, ''you''?" Han Feng snapped angrily, "Damn it, you bitch, you''ve screwed me over!"

    To him, a woman was nothingpared to his career; he knew very well which weighed more.

    Hearing this, the boxing club members exchanged nces and immediately surrounded Zhuang Yutong and Liu Yue, using brute force to push them forward, making them kneel before Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "Inciting others to forcefully break in andmit violence, we''ve had all of this recorded by Mulin. Tell me, how do you n topensate us for our emotional distress?"

    Zhuang Yutong cursed, "Compensate your mom!"

    "p!" Han Feng immediately pped her across the face, demanding coldly, "How do you speak to Big Brother?"

    "You..."

    "What about ''you''!" Han Feng pped her again, "Hurry up and pay Big Brother!"

    Zhuang Yutong looked at Qin Jiang who was smirking and felt the burning pain on her face, choking with tears welling up involuntarily.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Forget it, since you don''t want to settle this privately, let''s make it public. Let mother and daughter stay inside for a while before theye out."

    With that, he took out his phone, ready to make a call.

 Chapter 121 Spit it out double!

    "I''ll paypensation, I''ll paypensation!" Seeing the situation, Zhuang Yutong immediately turned pale with fright, realizing she might actually go to jail, her whole life would be ruined!

    Grinding her teeth, she said, "How much money do you want?"

    Qin Jiang casually extended two fingers.

    "Twenty thousand? I''ll pay!" Zhuang Yutong clenched her teeth, swallowing the bitter resentment as if she were grinding her teeth to pieces and swallowing them.

    "Twenty thousand?" Qin Jiang sneered, "You think you''re paying off a beggar?"

    "Two hundred thousand?!" Zhuang Yutong flew into a rage, "Why don''t you just rob someone!"

    Two hundred thousand wasn''t a small sum for the Zhuang family either!

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Too much? Then go to jail!"

    "I''ll pay... I''ll pay..." Liu Yue, trembling with fear, quickly chimed in.

    Although two hundred thousand was a lot, it was clearly a worse dealpared to going to prison!

    Zhuang Yutong red at Qin Jiang with resentment.

    "Alright, make the transfer!" Qin Jiangmanded coldly.

    The fat on Liu Yue''s face trembled, and in the end, she obediently made the transfer.

    "Two hundred thousand, so what? It''s nothing!" she said coldly, "Our Zhuang family will soon cooperate with Longting Group. By that time, it won''t just be about two hundred thousand!"

    "Xu Muge, you will regret this!"

    The mother and daughter left in an embarrassing state, leaving behind their angry, spiteful words!

    Xu Mulin spat fiercely on the ground.

    "Pah! Why should these shameless people get to live so well?"

    "And to think about cooperating with Longting Group..."

    His eyes filled with anger and a hint of helplessness, knowing all too well that even a minor project with Longting Group could mean profits of tens of millions! People like the Zhuangs didn''t deserve it!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Don''t worry, Longting Group won''t cooperate with them. Moreover, we will make them spit out the money, double the amount, so they learn how to write the word ''mistake'' correctly."

    Qin Jiang had it all under control. For people like these, he wouldn''t let them off easily. They had to pay a price that really hurt before he would call it even; otherwise, it would be letting them off too cheaply.

    Xu Muge said, "The Zhuang family didn''t have much money back then; they borrowed some from us to do business, and unexpectedly, they actually made it big. Later, when they had money, not only did they not repay us, but they also insulted us in various ways, the very definition of ungrateful wretches."

    "If there really is a chance, I don''t expect to bankrupt them, but at least we''ll knock them back to their original state!"

    Hearing Xu Muge''s words, Qin Jiang let out a faint smile and nodded, "Okay, we''ll do as you say."

    However, just then, Qin Jiang noticed an invitation on the Xu family''s table.

    "What''s this?" he asked.

    Xu Muge said, "It''s just an invitation that Xu Huanhuan deliberately had someone send over."

    "Her birthday is in a few days, and she''s invited us to her birthday party."

    "It''s really just to show off, wanting us to go see their new vi, to unt it in front of us. I''m actually curious to see what kind of stunt she''s going to pull off."

    Xu Muge knew that the Xu family definitely didn''t have the capital to buy a house in the Hongfeng Vi District.

    The only possibility was Wei Zijing.

    On Xu Huanhuan''s birthday, he''d be the one to present her with such an expensive vi as a gift.

    Wei Zijing was indeed generous.

    Thinking of her own birthday, which fell on the same day and over the years had never been marked by a memorable or grand celebration, Xu Muge couldn''t help but feel a bit saddened.

    Qin Jiang''s eyes hardened slightly, "Which vi? And she''s showing off about it?"

    "The Hongfeng Vi District," Liu Ya said with a hint of envy, "I heard it cost forty million!"

    "A forty-million vi! Just what kind of dumb luck has Xu Huanhuan stumbled upon!"

    She was speechless¡ªthis woman, inferior in looks and scheming to her own daughter, how did she get so lucky?

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "When the timees, I''ll go with you. She won''t dare to insult you."

    Xu Muge said indifferently, "It doesn''t matter. If Wei Zijing that fool is willing to buy such an expensive vi for her, that''s her own skill."

    Qin Jiang chuckled; what he had gifted her was a mansion worth much more than forty million. It''s just that Liu Ya and the others refused to believe it!

    However, he had quietly made a decision in his heart¡ªhe must hold a birthday party for Xu Muge that would attract everyone''s attention!

    How could he forget Xu Muge''s birthday? In fact, he had already been quietly preparing everything in secret.

    Afterforting Xu Muge a bit, Qin Jiang left. Once downstairs, he called Shen Longting, "Is the matter I asked you to arrange all set?"

    "Don''t worry, Master!" Shen Longting chuckled, "On that day, Miss Muge will be very pleasantly surprised! She''s definitely going to love the birthday party we''ve prepared for her!"

    "That''s good," Qin Jiang instructed calmly, "I don''t like it when things go wrong at thest minute, understand?"

    "Understood!" Shen Longting said, "I''ll arrange everything properly!"

    "By the way..." Shen Longting inquired, "Master, do we need to invite anyone else over?"

    Qin Jiang answered indifferently, "I will invite them personally."

    "Yes, sir!"

    Qin Jiang added, "And one more thing, it''s about the Zhuang family..."

    After hanging up, Qin Jiang made another call, "Heizi, I need you to do something for me!"

    "At your service, Lord Qin!" Heizi immediately perked up with utmost attention.

 Chapter 122 Ruined Reputation, Birthday Banquet!

    Qin Jiang''s eyes shed with a cold hue as he said indifferently, "Get me a surveince video."

    "I want it in my hands within ten minutes!"

    After speaking, he reported the location where Rong Zhilin and the others were to Heizi.

    In less than ten minutes, Heizi sent over a file!

    Heiziined, "Damn, Lord Qin, this is a visual assault!"

    Qin Jiang replied, "Consider it an eye cleanse."

    Afterward.

    Qin Jiang sent the file to Shen Longting, "Tomorrow, I want everyone in the Divine Land to know about these two guys and make them famous! You know what to do, right?"

    Shen Longting didn''t ask any further and simply said, "Rest assured! Master, I guarantee that tonight, they''ll be the hot topic on several major tforms!"

    Overnight, this eye-sore of a video spread across various tforms, and in a short span of time, it topped the trending charts of multiple tforms!

    The poprity was sky-high!

    In just a short period, countless social media tforms exploded instantaneously!

    In just three to four hours...

    Rong Zhilin was utterly disgraced!

    He had turned into aughingstock in people''s mouths!

    With that, Rong Zhilin had thoroughly experienced social death!

    Inside the private room, the awakened Rong Zhilin roared with fury, his eyes blood-red as he choked Chen.

    "How dare you? How could you dare? I''ll kill you!"

    Chen hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mr. Rong, I was wrong... I really know I was wrong..."

    "I didn''t want to! If anyone''s to me, it''s that guy... it''s all that guy''s fault..."

    Rong Zhilin gradually calmed down; what had happened had happened, and killing Chen now would solve nothing!

    He clenched his teeth in anger, his eyes bloodshot!

    "This grudge! I must avenge it! Make them pay back double..."

    His fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with hatred.

    It was then that his phone suddenly rang¡ªit was his father calling!

    Rong Zhilin''s heart trembled, and he quickly answered, "Dad..."

    "You worthless thing! Have you seen what you''ve done?! That video, I... your old man''s face ispletely lost thanks to you! Unfilial son, you''re killing me!"

    "What?!" Rong Zhilin was struck as if by lightning, spewing out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolling back as he fainted on the spot...

    "Mr. Rong, Mr. Rong..." Chen panicked and immediately started to pinch his philtrum.

    After a long while, Rong Zhilin, his eyes bloodshot and his face filled with resentment, woke from his faint.

    He called his father, spitting out a phrase bitterly cold between his teeth.

    "Dad! Send some of the family''s strong men here, I want that guy dead! I must!!"

    Rong Buhuo snorted coldly and said, "Not just you! I want him dead, too!"

    "The Rong Family has lost face this time... How could we let him off just like that? Where would the dignity of the Rong Family be then? In a few days, once I''m done with my current affairs, I will personally bring the family''s strong men to wash away this humiliation for our Rong Family..."

    This was a humiliation he couldn''t swallow!

    Seeing the explosive reaction to this affair, Qin Jiang sneered.

    This time, not only would Rong Zhilin be unable to hold his head high in their circles ever again, but even if he walked on the street and was recognized, he would probably be pointed at and whispered about...

    This was the punishment Qin Jiang had meted out to him!

    Afterwards, he turned off his phone.

    He then took out several pieces of paper and started writing down various medicinal ingredients.

    These were beauty prescriptions.

    For scar removal, whitening, healing...

    Each with different effects!

    But all of them had miraculous results!

    After finishing all this, Qin Jiang nodded in satisfaction, "The day after tomorrow is Muge''s birthday, and she just happens to be worrying about this. This will be the perfect birthday gift for her."

    In the blink of an eye.

    The two days passed in no time.

    Qin Jiang, along with Xu Muge and others, went straight to Hongfeng Vi District.

    Inside Xu Huanhuan''s newly bought vi, the ce was decorated and bustling with excitement.

    Everyone''s eyes were filled with envy.

    The Xu Family members sat in high positions, their faces beaming with joy, basking in everyone''s admiration.

    As the star of the party, Xu Huanhuan was surrounded by her guests like the moon encircled by stars.

    The group casually found a corner to sit down.

    There was a buzz of conversation among the guests.

    "A forty million vi, wow!"

    "So luxurious, so amazing!"

    "These kind of super-mansions, there aren''t many in Jiangcheng, right?"

    "Of course, haven''t you seen her boyfriend''s status and standing! Mr. Wei, he''s a great young master of Jinling City. It''s only normal for him to be able to invite such important figures to support Miss Xu."

    "Gosh, I''m so envious of Miss Xu..."

    People whispered to one another, whether men or women, all filled with admiration for the birthday party''s host¡ªXu Huanhuan, especially the women who dreamt of having such a grand asion once in their lives, and they would have no regrets!

    To be so esteemed by so many important figures! This was an immense honor!

    Meanwhile, Xu Muge, hearing all this, couldn''t help but feel ufortable...

    Xu Huanhuan was enjoying such avish birthday party, but what about her, who shared the same birthday?

    Unnoticed and forgotten!

    Qin Jiang noticed her mood change and said with a smile, "Don''t worry, she won''t beughing soon! And her birthday party is nothingpared to yours."

    Xu Muge sighed, "Don''tfort me anymore. A birthday party of this scale is something I''ll never have in my life..."

    Qin Jiang was about to speak.

    When he saw Xu Huanhuan, walking up arrogantly with a ss of red wine in her hand.

 Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Which Miss Xu?

    Xu Huanhuan was smug, "Well, well, if it isn''t our Miss Xu of the Xu family?"

    Xu Muge remained silent.

    "Xu Muge, it''s your birthday today too, isn''t it? Why is it so pathetic? When you see my grand birthday party, do you feel envious or jealous?"

    "Look at you, the so-called goddess of Jiangcheng, kicked out of the Xu family and now you''re nothing."

    "Hahaha¡ª" Xu Zilongughed as he approached, "Huanhuan, give her some face in front of everyone! She''s already miserable enough!"

    Wei Zijing, with a smile stered across his face, was very pleased with himself, "Huanhuan, the vi I bought for you, it''s okay, isn''t it? Worth almost forty million, it''s something certain people could never afford in their lifetime!"

    A few people mocked her openly, their voices loud enough to draw the attention of many.

    Xu Muge''s pretty face turned a steely shade of green, humiliated to the point where she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide!

    The jeering looks from the crowd were like needles, piercing her heart!

    "Is that Xu Muge?"

    "Didn''t she used to be one of Jiangcheng''s four great beauties? How did she end up in such a sorry state?"

    "What a joke, those so-called four great beauties of Jiangcheng! Kicked out of the Xu family, she''s worth less than nothing. Now even Xu Huanhuan is doing better than her! With just this vi alone, she couldn''t earn this much money even if she worked for twenty years!"

    The Xu family''s third aunt also stepped forward, "Muge, look at what you''ve bepared to Huanhuan? You''re not even fit to carry her shoes! See how many VIPs came to Huanhuan''s birthday party?!"

    "All the prominent figures of Jiangcheng! Young Master Wei even gifted a forty-million vi!"

    "Gifts worth nearly ten million in total!"

    "This style, this presence... have you ever seen anything like it?"

    "Both daughters of the Xu family, yet why is there such a huge gap between you two? Now you don''t even have a single person to celebrate your birthday with!"

    Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Qin Jiang, you''re so amazing, why didn''t you prepare a birthday dinner for Xu Muge? I''m not asking for much, just half of what I got would do!"

    "At least, my boyfriend got so many prestigious people toe!"

    "And gifted a big vi!"

    "And what about you?"

    "You can only make Xu Muge sit here, envious of me, jealous of me, and then wallow in sadness!"

    "Qin Jiang, you''re not even worthy to carry my boyfriend''s shoes!"

    "Do you know how much money and effort I spent on tonight''s birthday party? You could never have a party of this caliber in your entire life!"

    Xu Huanhuan boasted with an air of triumph.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Of course, I prepared a birthday surprise for Muge, as well as a birthday party."

    At these words, Xu Muge was momentarily stunned. Qin Jiang had prepared a birthday surprise for her?

    Xu Huanhuan scornfully asked, "Where is it being held? Invite me over for some fun? I really want to see how upscale the party you''ve organized for her is!"

    Qin Jiang slowly said, "Coincidentally, the birthday party I prepared for Muge is in vi number one of thisplex, and also, I''ve given vi number one to her as a gift."

    "The value of your vi is not even fit topare with vi number one."

    "As for the people you''ve invited..."

    "Merely pawns and underlings."

    "You call them big shots?"

    "Hahaha!" Tears nearly fell from Xu Huanhuan''s eyes as sheughed, "Vi number one? You sure can blow hot air! Everyone knows that vi number one here is Mr. Shen''s private property!"

    "Someone once offered two hundred million to buy it, but he wouldn''t sell! You... bought this vi and gave it to Xu Muge? Hrious."

    The others also burst into derisiveughter, mocking Qin Jiang for his tall tales.

    "If he could afford vi number one, then I must be America''s top personality!"

    "And I must be the world''s richest person, hahaha¡ª"

    Wei Zijing''s face was full of ridicule, "Qin Jiang, if you don''t have the money, don''t pretend. Don''t you find it embarrassing? Just honestly admit you''re useless, wouldn''t that be much easier?"

    Xu Huanhuan stood aside with her arms crossed, sneering coldly, "Fine! You say you bought Vi Number One for Xu Muge, then show us around! Let us have an eye-opener, right?"

    "Exactly!"

    "Take us for an eye-opener!"

    The onlookers all joined in the mocking and scoffing with an air of relishing the drama.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "You''re not worthy."

    "I knew you were just talking big," Xu Huanhuan snickered.

    The surrounding guests grew even more excited, wildly mocking Qin Jiang and Xu Muge.

    Xu Muge felt extremely ufortable. "Qin Jiang, enough! Let''s go¡ª"

    She was somewhat disappointed.

    She was well aware that today was her birthday, and even though the guy hadn''t given her a surprise, now he had made her the subject of further mockery, pushed to the forefront of attention!

    Now, she couldn''t get off the stage with dignity.

    However, Qin Jiang was staring at her intently, "Muge, don''t you believe me?"

    Xu Muge was close to breaking down, "How can I believe you? What can I even believe in you with?"

    Qin Jiang ced the key in her hand and dered firmly, "This is the key to Vi Number One. I''ll take you there to witness it yourself!"

    "Believe me, there will be a surprise!"

    Xu Muge''s heart trembled fiercely when she saw the look in Qin Jiang''s eyes...

    Xu Huanhuan added fuel to the fire, "Well then, hurry up and give us a tour!"

    Liu Ya snapped angrily, "Muge! Let''s go, don''t believe his nonsense!"

    She angrily grabbed Xu Muge, ready to leave. "Qin Jiang, don''t you think we''ve been embarrassed enough today?"

    Just then!

    A group of people walked in from outside.

    The person at the forefront spoke out loud, "We are here to convey a message to Mr. Shen, specially inviting Miss Xu to celebrate her birthday at Vi Number One!"

    Upon hearing this, the room instantly erupted into a buzz!

    Inviting... Miss Xu to the birthday party at Vi Number One?

    Xu Huanhuan was ecstatic, "Zijing, you prepared such a surprise for me?"

    Having Shen Longting celebrate her birthday... that... that was an immense honor!

    Wei Zijing was utterly bewildered; he hadn''t done anything!

    The envy in everyone''s eyes was about to spill over.

    Then, with everyone''s envious gaze upon her, Xu Huanhuan approached the group.

    "I am Xu Huanhuan, please, lead the way."

    At that moment, countless astonished eyes fell on Xu Huanhuan.

    She was incredibly smug, feeling as if she had reached the pinnacle of her life!

    However...

    The man furrowed his brows, saying, "Xu Huanhuan? Sorry, the person Mr. Shen wants to invite over is... Miss Xu Muge!"

    As the man''s words fell, suddenly, the entire ce fell into a frightening silence!

    Xu... Xu Muge?!

    Xu Huanhuan''s face turned deathly pale in an instant, "What... what did you say?!"

    "Xu Muge?!"

 Chapter 124: Chapter 124 The Door... Opened!

    "Could you all have gotten it wrong? Mr. Shen should have sent someone to invite me, Xu Huanhuan!"

    Chapter Experience:

    Xu Huanhuan''s face bore an expression of utter disbelief, as if she had been harshly pped across the cheeks!

    The room fell into silence.

    The voice of the messenger was like a p of thunder on a clear day, stunning everyone intoplete bewilderment.

    At that moment, Qin Jiang cracked a small smile and took Xu Muge''s hand, "Let''s go, it seems the surprise I prepared for you has arrived."

    "This birthday banquet is so low-end. Let''s go to your home court now!"

    Qin Jiang''s mockery was like a p in the face to those who had just been mocking them!

    And Xu Huanhuan turned pale.

    She almost copsed on the spot, but luckily Wei Zijing supported her and prevented a public embarrassment.

    Xu Muge waspletely astonished, "You..."

    "How could I possibly forget your birthday, you silly girl?" Qin Jiang said affectionately, touching her cheek, "I''ve had your surprise ready for a long time."

    Xu Muge was filled with immense joy at this moment!

    Xu Jinhong, Xu Mulin, and the others were also astounded, as they couldn''t imagine that Shen Longting invited Xu Muge to No.1 Vi to celebrate her birthday!

    Could this be real?

    "Phew¡ª" They took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement in their hearts.

    "Uncle Xu, Mrs. Liu, Mulin, let''s go!" Qin Jiang said with a smile, "The people there are already waiting for the main characters to arrive."

    "Oh oh..."

    They finally regained their senses from the panic and quickly stood up.

    Just thinking about meeting Shen Longting soon filled them with overwhelmed anticipation!

    "Wait a second!!"

    Just as Qin Jiang and the others were about to leave, Xu Huanhuan suddenly shouted.

    "I don''t believe it!"

    "I don''t believe Mr. Shen would really invite you over!"

    "You must be bullshitting!"

    "I bet this guy is just an actor you hired to show off, right?"

    Xu Huanhuan appeared to see right through them.

    "Just with you, you think you deserve a birthday celebration from Mr. Shen?"

    "What a joke!"

    "I reckon you just invited a few guys to act out a scene, then used it as a chance to sneak away, right?"

    It then dawned on the crowd that what Xu Huanhuan said might not be without reason!

    Qin Jiang scoffed coldly, "Only you woulde up with such a ludicrous idea."

    "Fine!" Xu Huanhuan gritted her teeth, "I want to see how you''ll get into No.1 Vi! We just so happen to want to see what No.1 Vi looks like inside too!"

    "Go now, we''ll follow and see if you get kicked out!"

    Xu Huanhuan would never believe that Shen Longting would host a birthday party for Xu Muge.

    Did she deserve it?

    Xu Muge and the others also felt some trepidation.

    The messengers couldn''t really be actors hired by Qin Jiang, right? If so, being exposed would be truly embarrassing.

    With indifference, Qin Jiang said, "Headstrong until you see the Yellow River! Since you''re so keen on following, thene along and open your eyes!"

    After speaking, Qin Jiang confidently led Xu Muge towards No.1 Vi.

    "I''ming too."

    "I want to see for myself as well!"

    The crowd genuinely didn''t believe Qin Jiang, thinking Xu Huanhuan''s ount was quite usible.

    They decided to follow and expose them on the spot... then see how he could still be so brazen!

    "Let''s go¡ª" Xu Huanhuan pulled Wei Zijing along, "Darling, have some confidence, let''s go burst their bubble!"

    Xu Zilong alsoughed, "Exactly, I want to see how long he can keep up the act!"

    Wei Zijing tightened his grip on Xu Huanhuan''s hand, "We definitely need to go have a look. I''m quite eager to see how they''ll be exposedter!"

    "Right, let''s all go and see, watch what tricks this fellow can y!"

    "I bet they won''t even get close to the gate of No.1 Vi before being driven away..."

    Mockery spilled from their mouths as they followed Xu Huanhuan and the others out, trailing behind Qin Jiang and hispany, their faces lit with schadenfreude.

    The mocking voices continued from behind.

    Xu Muge''s heart thumped wildly!

    Could the key she held actually open the gates of No.1 Vi?

    Qin Jiang wouldn''t deceive her, would he?

    Xu Mulin, unable to bear the tension, asked Qin Jiang, "Are you really that sure?"

    Qin Jiang responded coolly, "They were all invited by me, why wouldn''t I be confident?"

    Soon, the group arrived at the front gate of No.1 Vi in a flurry!

    In front of the entire No.1 Vi, there was dead silence; no sign of life whatsoever.

    An eerie stillness pervaded the atmosphere.

    "Open the door!" Xu Huanhuan sneered, "Xu Muge, isn''t your key supposed to open No.1 Vi? Show us then!"

    Xu Muge clenched her teeth and mustered the courage to step forward.

    "Still boasting about Mr. Shen preparing a birthday feast inside for her, when there''s no sign of life in there! Laughable! I bet in a minute you''ll continue with your bull, saying some unexpected issue came up and you can''t open the door, right..."

    Suddenly!

    Her speech abruptly ceased!

    Because Xu Muge''s key had turned slightly, and she slowly pushed the door open...

    Everyone''s eyes widened.

    The door... It really opened?!

 Chapter 125 Picking Faults!

    The vi''s gate actually opened!

    This left every single person presentpletely dumbfounded and confused!

    This...

    Especially Xu Huanhuan, whose face looked as ugly as if she had eaten shit.

    Even Xu Muge herself was stunned!

    This key... Is it really the key to vi number one?

    Inside the vi, there was dead silence.

    Not a sound came out.

    Xu Huanhuan stubbornly said, "Qin Jiang, didn''t you say that you arranged a birthday banquet here for Xu Muge, howe there''s no one? I think this key to vi number one is stolen!"

    Just when the crowd heard this and was about to jeer...

    Qin Jiang pped his hands.

    "p p p!!"

    The sound of pping echoed!

    Instantly!

    "p! p! p!"

    All the lights inside the vi lit up at that very moment!

    At the top of the vi, countless star lights began to rotate, bursting out an incredibly dazzling brilliance...

    The venue was decorated extravagantly, just like a pce, extremely luxurious.

    Even those who were ustomed to grand scenes werepletely shocked by the sight before them!

    "This... this... How much money must have been spent to set up such a scene?"

    They were incredulous!

    It must have cost tens of millions at least, right?

    And that was just for the venue decoration!

    Most importantly... this is tycoon Shen Longting''s ce, isn''t it?

    Who else has such clout?!

    Qin Jiang, seeing Xu Muge already dumbfounded, smiled and took her hand, saying, "What are you standing around for? Let''s go in!"

    He led Xu Muge inside.

    A dazzling spotlight shone down, converging on them!

    Following that...

    From the side, a group of people with smiles on their faces approached them.

    Seeing this group, Xu Huanhuan, Xu Zilong, and those self-proimed socialites from Jiangcheng all turned deathly pale and shivered uncontrobly.

    "Zhang Haosheng, Mayor Zhang!"

    "Tycoon Shen Longting!" Chapter Enjoy:

    "President Zhao Yuefei of Zhao Corporation!"

    "And Miss Zhang, Doctor Li, among others..."

    Each person who walked out from inside had such an imposing status that it made them tremble all over!

    How could so many high-profile figures suddenly gather together?

    They found it unbelievable!

    Xu Muge was astonished.

    She had never expected her birthday banquet today to attract so many VIPs.

    This made her feel incredibly honored!

    Zhang Haosheng stepped forward first and said, "Miss Xu, this is a piece of Hetian Feitian Jade I offer, a humble token of my regard. I hope Miss Xu will ept it!"

    Shen Longting said respectfully, "Miss Xu, this is the property deed of vi number one that Mr. Qin has gifted you, and today I take the liberty to present this vi to you in front of everyone!"

    "Hiss¡ª" Immediately, everyone couldn''t help but gasp!

    This... This nine-figure vi is just given to Xu Muge?!

    They were green with envy!

    Zhao Yuefei smiled and went up to Xu Muge, saying, "Muge, you really got me, if it hadn''t been for Qin Jiang telling me today is your birthday, I wouldn''t have known! But I didn''t prepare any other gifts on such short notice!"

    "This is a contract from Zhao Corporation worth a hundred million. As long as you''re willing to cash it, Zhao Corporation will give priority to cooperating with you on any project, any project!"

    Xu Muge was moved, "Yufei..."

    Others also offered up their extravagantly prepared gifts.

    Numb, totally numb!

    Completely numb!

    Xu Huanhuan and the rest were utterly stupefied as these super tycoons casually presented Xu Muge with gifts whose value made their very souls tremble!

    Qin Jiang looked indifferently at Xu Huanhuan and the others, "Now, after seeing all this, you should give up, right? You''re not wee here, get the hell out!"

    "You, you..." Xu Huanhuan''s chest heaved violently.

    Qin Jiang smiled and said, "Xu Huanhuan, I told you not toe, but you insisted. Now, aren''t you just humiliating yourself? What do you have topare with Muge?"

    "Your inconspicuous vi?"

    "Your fianc¨¦, who''s all talk?"

    "Or your mediocre looks, talent?"

    "You, can''tpare in any aspect!"

    Qin Jiang''s words made Xu Huanhuan''s face turn beet red, her chest heaving wildly, and in that moment, she felt as if those words were thunder repeatedly exploding in her ears!

    Her head buzzed, and overwhelmed with fury, she fainted on the spot...

    "Huanhuan!"

    "Huanhuan!"

    Seeing Xu Huanhuan faint from anger, everyone panicked and quickly supported her.

    Qin Jiang sneered, "This is what envy and rage lead to. How pathetic..."

    Wei Zijing, Xu Zilong, and others were hopping mad but helpless, and could only quickly leave with Xu Huanhuan!

    "Let''s go, Muge, what do you think of the party''s decor? Do you like it?"

    Xu Muge''s face lit up with surprise, and she nodded fiercely, her eyes moist!

    "I thought you had forgotten my birthday. You always got me a present before... "

    Qin Jiang touched her head, smiling without a word.

    Meanwhile, Xu Jinhong and the others werepletely stunned. Facing this group of tycoons, they felt undeservedly fortunate and started stammering.

    After all, they couldn''t believe that Mayor Zhang, would talk to them so amiably...

    It wasn''t just Mayor Zhang, even Shen Longting, Zhao Yuefei, and others treated them with utmost respect...

    This left them utterly confused.

    Xu Muge, looking at the attentively arranged venue, felt unspeakable happiness!

    Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Aside from their gifts, I also have other presents for you."

    "What?!" Xu Muge eximed in amazement.

    Qin Jiang took out several prescriptions, "These!"

    Xu Muge took them and was immediately baffled upon seeing several prescriptions.

    "These..."

    "Aren''t you nning to start a beautypany? Try these out, you''ll be surprised!"

    "Mm-hmm!" Xu Muge carefully tucked the prescriptions away.

    Zhao Yuefei said with a smile, "Come on, Muge, let''s start. The cake is all ready!"

    "Isn''t the birthday girl going to make a wish?"

    Upon hearing this, Xu Muge nodded and was about to approach the cake.

    But, at that moment!

    "Xu Muge!!"

    An extremely angry roar came from the entrance.

    Everyone turned to look.

    Rong Zhilin, eyes zing with fury, was striding toward them.

    In front of Rong Zhilin, there was a middle-aged man with a solemn face, exuding an aura of unspoken authority.

    Additionally, there was an elderly man, his eyes sharp and hands hidden in his sleeves, giving off an extremely dangerous vibe.

    Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes, "I didn''t expect you, an androgynous creature, to dare show up here! Wanting to make trouble at Muge''s birthday party, are you tired of living?"

    His eyes shed with two cold glints!

    "You are the ones whoid the trap for my son?" The middle-aged man''s voice was ice-cold, "I am the Rong Family Patriarch, Rong Buhuo. I''m here to seek justice for my son today!"

    Qin Jiang scoffed, "You y the son card, now the father shows up? You''re not here to seek death, are you?"

    Rong Buhuo said sternly, "Young man, you''re too arrogant. Today I''ve brought the Rong Family''s patron. If you don''t want to die, you''d better do as I say..."

    "Otherwise, you won''t leave here alive today!"

 Chapter 126 Overqualified!

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang was taken aback, then sneered dismissively, "Are you talking to me?"

    "Yes!"

    Rong Buhuo said coldly, "Cripple yourself, and I can spare your life."

    "Otherwise... I will make you wish you were dead!"

    At the same time, the elder behind him slowly raised his head, his eyes bursting with fierce killing intent.

    But Qin Jiang was unafraid.

    Zhang Haosheng''s voice was icy as he said, "Rong Family? A Jinling n causing trouble in Jiangcheng? I am Zhang Haosheng, the Mayor of Jiangcheng City. It''s quite inappropriate for you to make such harsh threats in my presence, don''t you think?"

    Rong Buhuo replied indifferently, "The Mayor of Jiangcheng? Indeed, a significant figure! I should indeed give Mayor Zhang some face, but, Mayor Zhang, you can protect him for a moment, not for a lifetime!"

    Rong Buhuo took a deep look at Qin Jiang, "Today, consider yourself lucky, but next time, you won''t be so fortunate."

    Qin Jiang had caused his Rong Family to lose all face, and what''s more, his son had been turned into a eunuch!

    How could Rong Buhuo bear such a grievance without retaliation?

    Even with Zhang Haosheng backing Qin Jiang, he was not afraid!

    Zhang Haosheng was indeed a top-tier figure in Jiangcheng.

    But what was there for him, from a Jinling Family, to fear about Zhang Haosheng?

    "Let''s go¡ª"

    Rong Buhuo said coldly, "Since Mayor Zhang is present, I''ll give him this face today."

    "Today, I''ll let you off."

    After saying this, he was about to leave with Rong Zhilin, who wore an unwilling expression, and the silent elder.

    However...

    "Wait!"

    Qin Jiang called out to stop him, "Is this a ce where you cane and go as you please?"

    "What a joke!" Rong Buhuo burst into wildughter, "If I want to leave, can you stop me? Overestimating yourself!"

    "If it weren''t for Mayor Zhang today, you''d probably already be dead!"

    He wore a look of disdain.

    After all, he had brought a Grandmaster level expert with him today, to make Qin Jiang pay a price was merely the flick of a finger away.

    This guy, still daring to boast?

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang let out a coldugh, "Fine! Then I''ll give you a chance, I won''t involve Mayor Zhang in this matter."

    Hearing this, Rong Buhuo''s gaze turned slightly grim, "Are you serious?"

    "This..." Zhang Haosheng was stunned, and said, "Mr. Qin, these two are clearly up to no good, I''m afraid..."

    Qin Jiang waved his hand dismissively and said coldly, "They chose toe and make a scene today, ruining Muge''s birthday feast and our good mood."

    "There''s no way I can let them leave like this."

    "Now, it''s not them who want trouble with me, but I who want trouble with them!"

    In Qin Jiang''s eyes, two sharp rays of light burst forth!

    Hearing this, Rong Buhuoughed wildly, "Good, very good! It seems you''re quite arrogant! The young generation really doesn''t know the immensity of the heavens and the earth¡­"

    "Mayor Zhang, now that he has said so, you shouldn''t get involved anymore, should you?"

    Zhang Haosheng''s face turned ashen with concern, but Qin Jiang was insistent.

    What could he do?

    Rong Buhuo sneered, "Good, very good! It seems you really want to die! Let me tell you in advance, this man beside me is a Martial Arts Grandmaster who can kill you with a single punch!"

    "If by any chance you die from the blows dealt, don''t me us!"

    The elder sneered, pulling his hands from his sleeves, "Family Head, why bother talking to him? I could just take care of him right now."

    He held Qin Jiang in utter contempt, not deeming him worthy of attention.

    After all, he thought it beneath himself to personally deal with such a greenhorn.

    But since Rong Buhuo had spoken...

    He had no choice but to reluctantly make a move and teach the other party a lesson.

    "I hope you can take a beating, boy, so I don''t identally kill you with one punch," he said.

    "What a disgrace."

    After speaking, two beams of sharp light burst forth from his eyes, and then, he charged violently towards Qin Jiang!

    "Boy, watch carefully. This is my ten percent strength. If you don''t die today, I''ll only break your arms and legs and spare your life!"

    Everyone''s hearts suddenly hung in suspense!

    Zhao Yuefei, Shen Longting, and the others all held their breath.

    Xu Muge was also incredibly worried because, after all, this was a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster!

    "Qin Jiang, don''t fight him, just let it be..."

    Liu Ya, Xu Jinhong, and others felt tingles in their scalps! Although they were not versed in martial arts, they still had some understanding! There wasn''t a single Martial Arts Grandmaster in the whole Jiangcheng City!

    The strongest existence in Jiangcheng was just at the peak of Inner Strength, but that was already enough to dominate Jiangcheng!

    How powerful must a Martial Arts Grandmaster be?

    Qin Jiang had gone mad to dare to fight to the death with such a formidable opponent!

    Liu Ya shouted, "Qin Jiang, if you are seeking death, don''t drag us into it!"

    Could they afford to provoke such a terrifying existence?

    Liu Ya immediately stepped forward and said to Rong Buhuo, "Sir, all of this was Qin Jiang''s own doing. Please don''t take out your anger on us and my daughter..."

    Rong Buhuo sneered, "Your daughter is Xu Muge?"

    "Yes..." Liu Ya responded through gritted teeth, "Since you''ve begged for mercy! Then I will give you a chance! As long as you mother and daughter serve as ves in the Rong Family, we will let you go! How about it?"

    "Mother and daughter together, that''s not bad! Hahaha¡ª" Rong Buhuoughed wildly.

    Brazen!

    "You¡ª" Liu Ya''s face turned an iron blue.

    Xu Jinhong was furious. "What the hell did you say?!"

    "Ranting rabble of the powerless!" Rong Buhuo sneered, "It seems you really won''t give up until you''re at a dead end. After this kid is taken care of... I want to see if you trash still dare to be so arrogant!"

    "Minister Huang, make your move!"

    As soon as his voice fell, the elder had already pounced on Qin Jiang like lightning!

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

    With every step he took, a distinct footprint appeared on the ground.

    It was as if striking everyone''s hearts!

    It made their hearts tremble along with it!

    In an instant, Minister Huang arrived in front of Qin Jiang with the crushing force of Mount Tai!

    His fist smashed down!

    The terrible sense of oppression made everyone around feel a suffocating sensationing on!

    However! Qin Jiang showed no intention of dodging, merely raising his hand calmly...

    And then, with ease, he caught the iing punch with one hand!

    Minister Huang''s face quickly turned red, because he found that his strength was disappearing into thin air like a mud ox into the sea. Despite exerting his full force, it vanished without a trace, unable to advance even a fraction!

    Qin Jiang furrowed his brow slightly, his face disdainful, "Is this all?!"

    He put a slight effort into his palm.

    And then...

    "Crack!"

    A crisp sound emitted as Minister Huang''s arm twisted into an exaggerated angle...

    "Just now you were so arrogant, even nning to disable my limbs and take my life with one punch?"

    "With just you... this trash?!"

    "Now, it''s my turn to say how I should punish you, old man."

 Chapter 127 Take a Gamble!

    "How can you be so..." Minister Huang''s face was a mask of disbelief!

    Agonizing pain twisted his entire face.

    "I can''t be bothered to waste words on a dog like you, go die on the side!"

    With a p, Qin Jiang sent Minister Huang flying!

    Thetter let out a miserable scream as his body flew sideways, spat out a mouthful of blood, and passed out on the spot.

    The ce became utterly silent!

    What did they see?

    A Martial Arts Grandmaster of such might, knocked unconscious by a p from Qin Jiang?

    "This is a real Martial Arts Grandmaster we''re talking about! An invincible presence in Jiangcheng! And yet... just like this?!"

    "Is this a fake Martial Arts Grandmaster or what?"

    "Minister Huang, defeated?!"

    Zhao Yufei, Xu Muige, Liu Ya, and everyone else present werepletely dumbfounded!

    Zhao Yufei knew Qin Jiang was strong, but she never imagined that Qin Jiang''s strength could be terrifying to this extent.

    Xu Muge and the others were even more open-mouthed, unable to react for a long time!

    Rong Buhuo and his son, who were just now incredibly arrogant, had the smirks on their faces freeze into fear...

    Qin Jiang''s eyes, cold and sharp, fell on Rong Buhuo and his son.

    "Let''s go! Dad, we need to get out of here quickly..." Rong Zhilin had been scared stiff.

    Rong Buhuo''s face was covered in shock as he looked at Qin Jiang advancing step by step and swallowed hard to feign calmness, "Young man, your strength is very impressive. My Rong Family acknowledges you..."

    Smack!

    The next moment, he was directly kicked to the ground by Qin Jiang, who then savagely kicked his chest, almost making him pass out from the pain as he spat out fresh blood!

    Qin Jiang''s foot ground fiercely into his chest.

    "You sure talk a lot!"

    Rong Buhuo kept wailing.

    Rong Zhilin was so scared his legs turned to jelly, and he copsed on the ground, shivering...

    "Big brother, don''te over, it was all my dad''s idea! I didn''t mean to trouble you on purpose..." Rong Zhilin was terrified to the core.

    Seeing his son in such a sorry state, Rong Buhuo was almost enraged to death on the spot!

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "Today you''ve made trouble, ruined my fianc¨¦e''s birthday banquet, I am very angry! You say... how should youpensate me?"

    "I, I''ll pay money..." Rong Buhuo was frantically spitting blood as he struggled to speak.

    "I want a hundred million for emotional damages, that''s not too much, right?" Qin Jiang said with a smile.

    "A hundred million? Why don''t you just rob me!" Rong Buhuo''s face turned deathly pale.

    "Sorry, but that''s exactly what I''m doing!" Qin Jiang enunciated clearly, "The price has just gone up, two hundred million."

    "Of course, you don''t have to pay, but this is Jiangcheng. Do you think in a couple of days the river in Jiangcheng won''t have a few more floating bodies?"

    Qin Jiang''s calm voice sent chills down the spines of the father and son! A Grandmaster-level fighter wanting to take their lives was too easy!

    Rong Buhuo turned ashen, "Two hundred million, that''s too much... I can''t possibly give you that!"

    Qin Jiang couldn''t be bothered talking nonsense with him, "Then you can let the Rong Family collect your dead bodies."

    Rong Buhuo was instantly horror-stricken.

    Qin Jiang''s gaze was terrifyingly indifferent, as if he could step on him and kill him without expression at any moment. Such a person was truly frightening.

    He took a deep breath and finally pleaded, "Can I make a call to my father?"

    Qin Jiang scoffed, "Call the son and the fatheres; call the father and the grandfatheres. How amusing."

    "You have two minutes, hurry up!"

    Rong Buhuo fumbled to take out his cell phone and then made a call, "Dad, save me!"

    His first words were a plea for help.

    "What''s wrong?" An old voice came from the other side, "You even took Minister Huang with you, and there''s still trouble?"

    Hearing this, Rong Buhuo hurriedly said, "Minister Huang has been... has been knocked out cold with one punch!"

    "What?!" Patriarch Rong''s eyes suddenly narrowed upon hearing this news!

    It was known that as a Grandmaster-level fighter, even in the dragon-ying Jinling City, they were very top-notch existences. To be blown away with one punch?

    Was there actually such a figure in the small ce of Jiangcheng?

    He immediately spoke with a heavier tone, "Exin the situation to me!"

    "My Rong Family isn''t easy to provoke, so what if Minister Huang was no match for him? Tell him to release people immediately, otherwise, my Rong Family will surely make him wish he were dead!"

    Just as Patriarch Rong finished speaking, Qin Jiang snatched the cell phone away!

    "Now, you have two choices."

    "First, collect the dead bodies for them, second, pay thepensation for emotional damages."

    Patriarch Rong erupted in anger, "You scoundrel!"

    Qin Jiang spoke indifferently, "It seems you don''t want to talk, so wait to collect their bodies."

    Finishing his words, Qin Jiang hung up the phone!

    Patriarch Rong''s ears were met with a bustling tone, and his eyes immediately widened, filled with rage.

    This guy... dare hang up on him?

    However, Qin Jiang''s tone was very tough, which made him somewhat apprehensive. After all, this kind of lunatic might really eliminate Rong Buhuo and Rong Zhilin!

    With this thought, he hurriedly returned the call.

    "What exactly do you want?" Patriarch Rong got straight to the point, his tone icy.

    "Five hundred million for emotional distress," Qin Jiang said indifferently.

    "Five hundred million? Why don''t you go rob a bank!" Patriarch Rong bellowed with rage, his chest heaving violently.

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Right, I am robbing you. I''ll give you five seconds to think about it..."

    "Five, four, three, two..."

    "Wait a moment!" Patriarch Rong grew anxious. "Allow me a moment to think!"

    "Dad! Save me..." Rong Buhuo cried out in terror.

    "Grandpa! Grandpa, give him the five hundred million... This lunatic will really kill us..."

    Qin Jiang''s tactics had them utterly intimidated.

    Such a fearless individual might genuinely kill them!

    They definitely didn''t wish to die...

    Qin Jiang, with his foot on Rong Buhuo, smiled faintly. "It seems you do understand the danger."

    Rong Buhuo was on the verge of wetting himself right then and there.

    From Qin Jiang''s gaze, he saw a cold-blooded indifference that scared everything.

    How could he not be afraid?

    After a few seconds of silence.

    Patriarch Rong finally spoke, "Are you the boyfriend of that girl who wants to enter the beauty industry?"

    Naturally, he knew about the incident that had crippled Rong Zhilin.

    It all started because of Xu Muge.

    As for Qin Jiang''s presence, he had learned of it through Rong Zhilin''s weeping; yet, he hadn''t imagined Qin Jiang to be so powerful that not even Minister Huang could stand against him!

    Patriarch Rong''s voice was grave. "If I just give you the money like this, where will the face of the Rong Family remain?"

    "What do I care!" Qin Jiang said coldly. "I''ll ask you onest time, money or life?"

    "Fine! I can give you what you want!" Patriarch Rong said fiercely. "But the Rong Family won''t hand over the money; we''ll settle this another way!"

    Qin Jiang, out of patience, said indifferently, "Are you done with your nonsense?"

    Patriarch Rong enunciated each word, "I won''t give you the money directly, but, we can wager a game."

    "If you win, not only will I give you the five hundred million, but I will also give you one of our Rong Family''s medicinal forms. If you lose, then you''ll release my son and grandson graciously! How about that?"

    "Of course, you can also choose to kill them outright, as I have more than one or two sons."

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang sneered, "I didn''t expect you old man to have some guts, but... I don''t agree with these terms. All those so-called forms from your Rong Family are worthless to me, nothing but scrap paper!"

    "You..." Patriarch Rong was furious. His family, a beauty aristocratic family of several hundred years, had all but monopolized the famed beauty forms on the market! And this guy was calling them garbage?

    A tant humiliation indeed!

    "Then what do you want?" Patriarch Rong asked with forced patience, his voice icy.

    "I want all the information on the beauty industry''s distributors," Qin Jiang stated dispassionately.

    At those words, Patriarch Rong sneered, "Agreed!"

    Such shortsightedness!

    He didn''t want the valuable forms, but instead, he foolishly sought all the distributors'' details?

    Howughable!

    In his eyes, Qin Jiang''s demand was absurd,cking any vision.

    The beauty field had its established circle, and the Rong Family had considerable influence. So many waited for the Rong Family to bestow work upon them! Just one word from the Rong Family, and who would dare coborate with Qin Jiang and his lot?

    Even if they coborated, what then?

    Could their productspare to the Rong Family''s?

    Seeing that the other party had agreed, Qin Jiang inquired faintly, "Time, ce."

    Patriarch Rong responded coldly, "In two days at noon, I will personally visit Jiangcheng. Our wager will be set in Liu Hu''s casino! How about that?"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang smiled slightly, "Good, I''ll wait for you in Jiangcheng in two days."

    After speaking, Qin Jiang hung up the call directly!

    Rong Buhuo and the other sighed in relief, their lives at least spared for the moment...

    Qin Jiang looked at the two with distaste. "And to think I believed you were worth something. Turns out, your old man wouldn''t even part with five hundred million for you, what a waste!"

    Then, with a kick, he knocked them unconscious...

    "Mr. Shen, lock them up. These are worth five hundred million, after all, don''t let them escape."

    Everyone else was speechless, had Qin Jiang kidnapped the Rong Family father and son?

    Shen Longting quickly stepped forward, his face also showing excitement, "Don''t worry, I''ll keep a close watch on these five hundred million."

 Chapter 128 Maternal Home, the Wen Family!

    The Rong Zhilin father and son were directly dragged away by the people Shen Longting called.

    Everyone was stunned, Qin Jiang was just too fierce!

    Zhao Yuefei frowned and said, "The Rong Family is a major n in Jinling, and they hold a footing in the entire Divine Land, especially in the beauty industry, where they upy half of the territory."

    "Their connections and wealth are incredibly astounding, offending them like this may not be a good thing."

    "Is that so?" Qin Jiang said with a dismissive smile, "They were the ones who troubled me first, and now I am merely giving them a taste of their own medicine, an eye for an eye."

    Zhao Yuefei, seeing that her advice didn''t sway him, could only heave a sigh and stopped talking, knowing all too well that Qin Jiang was a defiant character, impossible to pull back once he had made up his mind!

    Xu Muge furrowed her brows, "By forcing them this way, I''m afraid they will retaliate against you furiously..."

    Qin Jiang smiled lightly, "Would I be afraid of their retaliation?"

    For him, the threat of the Rong Family was negligible.

    "You really are audacious, daring to offend just about anyone," Liu Ya said with obvious disdain.

    Qin Jiang''s approach was too arrogant; if he continued like this, he would sooner orter implicate them too!

    Qin Jiang ignored her reproach and instead said to Xu Muge, "The Rong Family owns half of the beauty market, and the beauty market is a rtively closed circle."

    "Therefore, gaining those distributors who control arge amount of market resources is the most important."

    Zhao Yuefei said, "Although on the surface, it seems like those beautypanies are fighting to the death, in reality, they are solidly united."

    "If someone really tries to enter this market and divide the cake, they won''t relinquish their hold so easily, they will certainly try every possible means to trip us up! So, even if you get their information, it might not be useful."

    Qin Jiang just smiled nonchntly, "No matter, they will be begging to meet with us when the timees."

    Qin Jiang was absolutely confident in his own form.

    Then, it wouldn''t be about them begging the distributors to sell their products, but about them pleading for him to sell his products to them for distribution!

    Zhang Haosheng also reminded, "The Rong Family is a tough nut to crack, they have held a very high status in Jinling over the years, always concerned about face and family honor, so they are not to be provoked lightly."

    "Since the old head of the Rong Family dared to propose a bet with you, he surely is prepared. Mr. Qin, you must not take this lightly!"

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly, "Don''t worry, it''s all right."

    "Let''s continue with the birthday banquet."

    After the birthday banquet, Qin Jiang personally sent the Xu Muge family back home.

    On the way, Xu Jinhong sighed, "Qin Jiang, although I know you''re capable, you should still restrain yourself a bit and not offend people everywhere. After all, not everyone can be offended so easily."

    "If you walk on a dark path too often, you are bound to stumble eventually!"

    Liu Ya also reprimanded, "That''s right, you getting into trouble is one thing, but when the timees, you might even implicate Muge and even us, wouldn''t that be harming us?"

    Her tone was full of dissatisfaction.

    Qin Jiang remained unfazed, "Don''t worry, they can''t do anything to me."

    Liu Ya said irritably, "Fine! When the timees, don''t me us for not giving you face if it involves us!"

    Xu Muge said, "Mom, stop it, it''s because of me that Qin Jiang offended the Rong Family..."

    Liu Yained discontentedly, "What do you mean by that? How is this rted to you? It''s his way of handling things that''s too violent, which is why he offends people, not your fault, right?"

    Xu Muge was at a loss for words; wasn''t Liu Ya just arguing for the sake of arguing?

    Qin Jiang calmly said, "Auntie, don''t worry, I will definitely not be a burden to Muge. Besides, we won''t lose out on this bet, if we lose, we simply let a person go, but if we win, we get five billion and the distributor information."

    "It''s a no-lose situation."

    Liu Ya muttered, "I feel like the Rong Family isn''t simple, don''t get tricked by them. How could they possibly let you seed so easily? After all... that''s five billion, not a small amount!"

    Qin Jiang scoffed, "If they want to y tricks, I don''t care, their person is in my hands after all, we can just go for broke!"

    Xu Jinhong said, "The bet will take ce at Liu Hu''s ce. Liu Hu is one of the overlords of Jiangcheng, and he has a huge reputation in the underworld, a real hero!"

    "You don''t even know what''s going on between the Rong Family and the other party, and you still have the guts to keep the appointment?"

    Qin Jiang chuckled, "Liu Hu wouldn''t dare touch me. If he doesn''t wet his pants at the sight of me, that''ll be good enough."

    Hearing this, everyone was speechless. Could he brag any more?

    Xu Muge voiced her concern, "Qin Jiang, maybe¡­ we should just let that guy go? I''ve got a feeling that the old man from the Rong Family is up to something that''s not simple."

    "It''s definitely not just about betting against you."

    Qin Jiang calmly replied, "Don''t worry, there won''t be any trouble. Trust me. I will pave the way for you. You just wait patiently, and I''ll handle the rest."

    Xu Muge was touched by his words. Although she thought Qin Jiang was being reckless, she also knew he did it all to save her beautypany from taking unnecessary detours in the future.

    Liu Ya then asked, "How did you manage to get so many big shots toe over?"

    Qin Jiang said, "Mrs. Zhao arranged it."

    Indeed, he was just leading the charge; many of the details were arranged by Zhao Yuefei. After all, girls understand girls better, right?

    But to them, this soundedpletely different.

    "And here I thought you were so capable," Liu Ya said with disdain. "Turns out you''re just basking in someone else''s glory, using their influence to show off."

    Qin Jiang didn''t bother exining. No matter what he did, Liu Ya would think it wasn''t his own doing. What could he do about such prejudice?

    Xu Muge said, "Try not to trouble Yufei too much. Even her patience has limits."

    "Yeah, I know," Qin Jiang sighed deeply.

    After sending Xu Muge and the others back, Qin Jiang returned to his own home.

    Upon opening the door, he found guests in the house.

    Qin Jiang asked, "Mom, who are these people?"

    "Third aunt, is this, is this my cousin?" a young man said with a smile, standing up and looking at Qin Jiang with a hint of undisguised disdain in his eyes.

    Third aunt?

    Cousin?

    Qin Jiang thought for a moment. These people must be from the Wen Family, which meant Wen Wenling''s maternal home.

    And this guy must be his cousin.

    Wen Wu walked over arrogantly and said, "I''m Wen Wu, a descendant of Jinling''s Wen Family, here in Jiangcheng for business and decided to visit my third aunt."

    Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Hello!"

    He had never had much of a liking for the Wen Family, as there had been no contact between them for many years.

    Besides, the Wen Family had always been arrogant and looked down on the Qin Family. Their previous visits to the Qin Family only involved belittling his father and even trying to forcibly take Wen Wenling away.

    Therefore, Qin Jiang did not show them a weing face.

    "Third aunt, you should consider what we discussed. With the cousin''s situation, he won''t make something of himself even in a hundred years."

    "But if you are willing to return to our Wen Family, our power and background could easily find cousin a job that pays ten or twenty thousand. Although it''s still far from matching up to me, it''s still better than the dead-end status he has now, right?"

    "Cousin, you should thank our family elders. Only they are so kind as to still ept you. Otherwise, with your family''s situation, you''d have no qualifications to associate with our Wen Family."

    Wen Wu''s superior attitude irked Qin Jiang greatly, "Is that what you came here to say? If it''s about convincing us to go back, then save it. I don''t need the Wen Family''s support to live well."

    Wen Wu sneered incessantly.

    "Big talker! I have no idea where you get your confidence from. Is it that sub-two-hundred-dor outfit you''re wearing, or this shabby home of yours, or perhaps the prison record you''ve racked up?"

    Wen Wu''s voice was full of scorn and mockery.

 Chapter 129 The Return of the Crazy Old Man!

    Qin Jiang''s tone turned icy, "Had enough? If you''re done, then scram!"

    Seeing how arrogant Qin Jiang was, Wen Wu''s eyes turned a shade colder, "Qin Jiang, is it? I don''t know how you dare speak to me like that! In my eyes, you are just a nobody!"

    "You think I actually wanted toe here and ask you trash toe back with me? If not for grandpa and grandma''s orders, who would be willing to bring you back from such a shoddy ce? I spoke to you nicely, and yet you''re this ungrateful!"

    "Just a reformed convict, do you really think I want to acknowledge you as a rtive?"

    Qin Jiang coldly said, "Scram!"

    His patience hadpletely run out.

    "Enough!" Wen Wenling also shouted lowly, "I don''t need to go back to the Wen Family, and please don''te here to disturb our life again."

    "Our Qin Family is doing very well!"

    "And Wen Wu, considering you''re my nephew, I won''t bother with you too much, but let me warn you, don''t insult my son."

    Wen Wenling could tolerate his mockery towards herself, but she couldn''t stand to see her son troubled.

    Wen Wu sneered disdainfully, "Let me be straightforward with you, don''t you dare act all high and mighty like an elder in front of me! Besides grandpa and grandma, no one in the Wen Family respects you, a woman who threw herself at a poor loser!"

    "Our Wen Family is a prestigious household, and you, you''re nothing but a woman who has degraded herself by following a poor wretch! What are you pretending for? I''d call you aunt out of respect, but if I don''t respect you..."

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang delivered a p straight across his face!

    "Ah!"

    Wen Wu let out a scream of agony.

    "Master Wen!" Seeing Wen Wu getting hit, the others rushed over in a panic, ring menacingly at Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang spoke with a chilling voice, "You insult me, I couldn''t care less, but insult my mother, I must teach you a lesson!"

    "The Wen Family, think you''re all that? Just a minor n, what''s there to gloat about? Scram, or I''ll throw you all out!"

    "Dare to touch our Master Wen, seems like you''re tired of living, quickly apologize to our Master Wen!"

    "Apologize immediately, or this isn''t over!"

    Fewckeys were shouting at Qin Jiang.

    After all, they knew all too well the Wen Family''s attitude towards Wen Wenling; aside from the elderly, basically no one recognized Wen Wenling''s existence in the Wen Family!

    In their eyes, Wen Wenling was nothing but a cheap woman who ran off with a poor boy.

    Moreover, she was living in destitution, poverty-stricken and destitute!

    Even if she returned to the Wen Family, they wouldn''t hold any status there!

    Wen Wu coldly said, "You dared to p me, today I must seek justice! Qin Jiang, I''m giving you a chance, apologize to me right now and p yourself ten times, otherwise, don''t me me for being ruthless..."

    Qin Jiang raised his hand and delivered another p!

    "p!"

    "This p is for disrespecting your elders!"

    "p!"

    "This p is for your loose tongue!"

    "p!"

    "This ps you for your ignorance, arrogance, and impudence!"

    With the third p, Wen Wu spun several times in mid-air before crashing down to the ground in pain, spitting out several broken teeth!

    "Beat him! Beat him to death!" Wen Wu shouted in a furious rage.

    The henchmen charged forward with ws bared, but Qin Jiang knocked each of them down with one punch, all lying on the ground wailing in pain...

    "And you try to strut in front of us?" Qin Jiang walked forward, looming over Wen Wu, "If it weren''t for the fact that we share even a bit of blood rtion, you would be crippled by now. You have three seconds, scram!"

    Wen Wu scrambled up from the ground in an utterly embarrassing state!

    "Good! Very good!"

    "Qin Jiang, I tell you, you will definitely regret this. Even if you and your mother and son beg on your knees, our Wen Family will never let youe back!"

    "You lot, just live at the bottom of society as garbage for the rest of your lives! A family of losers, your Qin Family should never dream of turning things around!"

    Before leaving, Wen Wu sneered at Qin Jiang, "Ungrateful fool, you will soon realize that my Wen Family is an existence you''ll never be able to reach in your lifetime!"

    "If you don''t scram, I''ll tear your mouth apart." Qin Jiang smiled as he spoke, but his smile was chilling.

    Wen Wu shivered all over and hurriedly left with his tail between his legs along with his people.

    After they had left, Wen Wenling finally sighed, her face turning ashen.

    "Jiang, don''t mind them. These guys are just like that, so infuriating¡­"

    Although she said this, she was still very upset.

    Back when she fell in love with Qin Jiang''s father, the Jinling Wen Family looked down on him, thinking he was just a poor boy not worthy of her!

    They demanded she break off with Qin Jiang''s father.

    But in the end, she firmly decided to marry Qin Jiang''s father, following him without any regrets.

    This also resulted in her estrangement from the Jinling Wen Family.

    And ever since, the Wen Family saw her as a disgrace, thinking she was clingy and had lost face for the Wen Family.

    Over the years, despite minimal contact, their attitude towards Wen Wenling remained consistently hostile.

    Wen Wenling felt heartbroken!

    These were her own rtives, so why treat her this way? Over the years, no matter how hard or tiring it was, she never sought the help of the Wen Family, so why did they still humiliate her?

    Especially her brothers and sisters, who had never stopped oppressing and insulting her over the years!

    Nevertheless, she had silently endured it all.

    If it weren''t for the fact that her parents still had a shred of concern for their daughter, and she still had thest bit of affection for them, she wouldn''t want to have any contact with these people at all!

    In them, Wen Wenling couldn''t feel any kinship at all!!

    Especially today, Wen Wu''s words were too hurtful, and theypletely opened her eyes to the true nature of the Wen Family people.

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Mom, don''t worry about them. They''re just a bunch of idiots."

    Wen Wenling said through clenched teeth, "The more the Wen Family looks down on us, the better we have to live! When the timees, we will go back to see your grandparents in style! I''ll let my siblings see that my choice back then was not wrong!"

    Anger flickered in Wen Wenling''s eyes.

    The Wen Family wasn''t really all that amazing. In Jinling City, where powerful and wealthy families abounded, they didn''t really rank at all, they just had a bit of money.

    Qin Jiang nodded, "Mom, if I get the chance, I will definitely bring you back to the Wen Family in style, and show them who the real clown is!"

    Wen Wenling sighed, her face clouded over, "Forget it, let''s not talk about them. They''re bad luck."

    Downstairs, Wen Wu left the building with a few sycophants, covering their faces and grimacing in pain.

    "Qin Jiang! You, a damn loser, dare to hit me, the Master?"

    "I will make you pay back double some day!"

    He gnashed his teeth while ring in the direction of the Qin Family, his eyes filled with hatred.

    "Master Wen, why bother with such trash? Aren''t you about to discuss a deal with the Shen Corporation? Once that goes through, that''s a profit of hundreds of millions! And besides, you''ll be in Jiangcheng for a while. Sooner orter, there will be an opportunity to show them their mistake!"

    Wen Wu nodded, "That makes sense. Today, the guy just got lucky. I admit defeat! But soon... he will know the difference between him and me!"

    Meanwhile, inside the room, Qin Jiang received a phone call from Shen Longting.

    "Little Shen, what''s up?"

    Shen Longting''s voice was excited, "Master, the mentor sent me a message, he will be back in Jiangcheng tomorrow! He asked me to tell you, you''ll meet at Longting Group tomorrow!"

    On hearing this, Qin Jiang was immediately overjoyed, "That unreliable old man ising back?"

 Chapter 130 Master and Apprentice Reunited!

    Ever since the old man left prison, Qin Jiang had never seen him again. In the past one or two years, any matters regarding the Crazy Old Man weremunicated to him through Shen Longting.

    The Crazy Old Man had taught him many skills and given him a foundation to stand on.

    Qin Jiang still felt quite grateful to his seemingly unreliable mentor.

    "Yes, the master has returned, but he has important matters to attend to, so he can only meet with you briefly. He has something he needs to instruct you in person," someone said.

    "Alright, I''ll make a trip to Longting Group tomorrow at noon," Qin Jiang replied.

    After all, it had been a long time since he saw the old man, and he did miss the entric Crazy Old Man. Moreover, he felt that the Crazy Old Man had a certain connection to his own father.

    Thus, he also wanted to get some news about his father from the Crazy Old Man!

    The next day.

    Qin Jiang left home.

    He headed straight for Longting Group.

    When he arrived at the entrance of Longting Group, he ran into Zhuang Yutong and her daughter.

    "You, how are you here?!"

    Upon seeing Qin Jiang, the mother and daughter were instantly irritated, and approached him with an aggressive stance to question, "Is Longting Group a ce you should be at?"

    Qin Jiang indifferently replied, "I was invited here by Shen Longting, the Chairman of Longting Group! Besides, my presence here is none of your business, is it?"

    "Hahaha!" Zhuang Yutong and Liu Yue couldn''t hold back theirughter, nearly tearing up.

    "You, a filthy loser, worthy of being personally invited by Mr. Shen? That''s the funniest joke I''ve heard! Can you blow your own trumpet any louder?"

    "A high-end ce like this isn''t for you to enter, only partners like us whoe to discuss business have the qualifications! Understand?!"

    With smug expressions on their faces, the mother and daughter boasted, "See, this is our Xu Family''s cooperation contract with Longting Group! Just one signature from them, and we will have ten million in hand!"

    "Ten million, you filthy loser, you couldn''t earn that much in your lifetime, could you?"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "Don''t worry, this contract will soon be invalid."

    "You think you can just say it''s invalid and it will be?" Zhuang Yutong scoffed, "One would think you''re the Chairman of Longting Group with the way you talk! Quite a big mouth you have there!"

    "I''m not the Chairman of Longting Group, but with just one word from me, this contract will be dered invalid," Qin Jiang spoke in a calm tone, yet with an implicit prating force.

    "Blow harder, just keep blowing!" Liu Yue sneered unceasingly, "Let''s see if you can even get into Longting Group!"

    No sooner had she finished speaking, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked out from inside.

    "Mr. Shen?!"

    Seeing Shen Longting, the mother and daughter immediately lit up with joy, shifting to a ttering tone as they rushed forward to greet him.

    "Mr. Shen, hello, I''m Zhuang Yutong. I''m here today to discuss a partnership with Longting Group. This is the contract that yourpany previously agreed upon with us..."

    Zhuang Yutong looked affectionately at Shen Longting, trying to seduce him with her beauty.

    However, Shen Longting coldly said, "I don''t recognize you, nor am I aware of such a small project. Please don''t block the way."

    This indifferent attitude from Shen Longting left both women in an awkward state, yet Zhuang Yutong wasn''t ready to give up and attempted to continue speaking with Shen Longting.

    But Shen Longting rebuked sharply, "Step aside immediately, otherwise forget about this partnership!"

    Hearing this, the mother and daughter were so frightened they trembled and quickly cleared a path!

    Seeing their awkward stance, Qin Jiang couldn''t help butugh out loud.

    "What are youughing at?!" Zhuang Yutong red at Qin Jiang in annoyance and then turned ingratiatingly towards Shen Longting, saying sweetly, "Mr. Shen, this guy is trying to sneak into Longting Group: he has a criminal record and might be here to steal some secret from thepany!"

    However, Shen Longting''s next move left thempletely stunned on the spot! Shen Longting actually came over to Qin Jiang with great respect and bowed at a ny-degree angle!

    "This, this..."

    The mother and daughter were immediately dumbfounded! How could Shen Longting possibly be so respectful to this smelly loser?

    Qin Jiang looked at them with a cold sneer, "Today, I''m afraid you won''t be able to enter the doors of Longting Group."

    Upon hearing this, the two of them turned ashen, their faces turning deathly pale!

    Shen Longting coldly instructed his subordinates, "Throw these two out! They''re an eyesore!"

    The mother and daughter panicked instantly, "Mr. Shen..."

    "Our chairman has ordered that you two leave this ce immediately, or don''t me us for being rude." A group of security guards immediately surrounded the two women.

    Zhuang Yutong shouted, "Mr. Shen, please don''t believe his nder... This guy is jealous of us! You must not..."

    Before she could finish her sentence, a security guard kicked her.

    "Get out!"

    Zhuang Yutong immediately screamed in pain, falling to the ground in a wretched state! She could only watch helplessly as Qin Jiang and Shen Longting walked into Longting Group...

    "Damn it! This damned fellow, how dare he ruin our deal!"

    The mother and daughter duo were fuming with rage, their deal had been destroyed by Qin Jiang!

    This was a contract worth ten million...

    Thinking of this, their hearts were bleeding!

    Moreover, seeing how close Shen Longting was with Qin Jiang, their potential coboration was probably going to fall through...

    After entering Longting Group, Shen Longting asked, "Master, do you have a grudge against these two people?"

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "They are the ones from the Zhuang family I told you about, Muge''s rtives."

    "Understood." Shen Longting, recalling what Qin Jiang had instructed him before, smiled and said, "I''ll cancel our coboration with them immediately."

    Qin Jiangughed mockingly, "Cancel the coboration? That would be letting them off too easily. Tell your people to continue coborating with them, but... the contract needs to be altered."

    A smug smile appeared on Qin Jiang''s lips; he was going to make them repay double what they owed to the Xu Family!

    Shen Longting smiled and said, "I will follow your arrangements, Master."

    The two took the elevator up, heading to Shen Longting''s office.

    At this moment, a dirty old man, holding a roast chicken, was ravaging it with his teeth.

    Upon seeing Qin Jiang enter, the old man''s face broke into a greasy smile as he stood up and said, "My dear disciple, your master has been waiting for you for so long!"

    Qin Jiang looked at him with disgust, "Old man, aren''t you supposed to be a noble hermit? Can''t you act the part?"

    The Crazy Old Man snorted coldly, "What do you know? This is called living carefree and ying with the world!"

    "I won''t waste words with you; I don''t have much time, so let''s get straight to the point," the Crazy Old Man said seriously. "After I''m done here, I still have to visit an old me and catch up."

    Qin Jiang: "..."

    With his appearance, he still has an old me?

    Who would be so blind?

    "Go ahead."

    Qin Jiang sat down, his expression gradually turning solemn, "I just so happen to have something I need to ask you as well!"

 Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Xu Muges Background Is Not Simple!

    ```

    The Crazy Old Man set aside the roast chicken and wiped his greasy hands on his clothes before he began, "I heard you got that painting handed down in your family?"

    "Yes, I''ve already obtained the painting from the Qin Family."

    "Good," the Crazy Old Man nodded, "Have you unraveled its secret?"

    "I have," Qin Jiang nodded and said, "I used the techniques from the Supreme Dao Scripture to break the seal on it and acquired what was inside the painting."

    "That''s great!" The Crazy Old Man nodded, his face filled with satisfaction, "It seems my disciple does possess some skills and hasn''t disappointed me. But you must remember what I''m going to tell you next."

    "First! Remember, whatever is inside that painting, do not reveal it to anyone or discuss it with anyone! Do you understand?"

    "Once it''s leaked, it could bring about lethal danger! After all, these are things that shouldn''t appear in the ordinary world!"

    "And... the most important thing is, this is something your father protected with his life, and its use is far more significant than what you see on the surface!"

    "However, with your current level of cultivation, you cannot fully realize its effects. Once you be stronger, you will understand its true purpose!"

    A shiver ran through Qin Jiang''s heart, "Something my father protected with his life? Do you know its origin?"

    The Crazy Old Man said indifferently, "I don''t know what exactly is inside, but I know it''s something that all martial artists and cultivators dream of acquiring, and its emergence would surely spark fiercepetition among countless people!"

    "You''ve noticed, haven''t you? Many are seeking and exploring the secret of this painting! At thest auction, there must have been others who tried to snatch it along with you, right?"

    Qin Jiang gave a slight nod, "Indeed, there was a mysterious person whopeted with me for it."

    The Crazy Old Man said, "That''s just the beginning."

    "Once those guys find out that the painting ended up in your hands, you''re going to be in even greater trouble. So, you must keep this inside your stomach!"

    "I understand!" Seeing the Crazy Old Man''s serious face, Qin Jiang did not dare to be negligent and nodded.

    "Your future path is long, and as for the secrets you bear, I can''t tell you now," the Crazy Old Man said solemnly, "because you''re too weak."

    "When your strength reaches the Heavenly Realm, I''ll share a part of the truth with you."

    "Secrets I bear?" Qin Jiang was shocked!

    "That''s right." The Crazy Old Man grinned, "You didn''t think I took you as my disciple on a whim, did you?"

    Qin Jiang was at a loss for words.

    However, over time, he had gradually realized some things¡ªthe Crazy Old Man took him as a disciple, and it was all arranged in advance!

    Yet, Qin Jiang didn''t know his purpose.

    Nevertheless, the Crazy Old Man had imparted all his lifelong knowledge to him and bore him no ill will, so to Qin Jiang, the Crazy Old Man was a trustworthy elder!

    "Also, during this time, you might as well take charge of the Longting Group for a while, to get some practice," the Crazy Old Man said indifferently, "I don''t expect you to earn much, just a few hundred billion should be enough..."

    Qin Jiang: "..."

    "Is it that easy to earn a few hundred billion?"

    The Crazy Old Man red at him, "The things I''ve taught you are all priceless treasures! Not to mention a few hundred billion, even several trillion could be easily seized! You can''t possibly be that bad, right?"

    Qin Yan was truly speechless. In the Crazy Old Man''s view, was earning a few hundred billion as simple as drinking water?

    "I understand, I''ll do my best!" Qin Jiang said, "Is there anything else?"

    "Nothing more," the Crazy Old Man stood up, somewhat eagerly, "I need to go see my old me."

    "Wait a minute!" Qin Jiang called out to him, asking, "I have a question for you."

    "Go ahead, I''m in a hurry. My old me is already waiting at the hotel for me to discuss life," the Crazy Old Man''s expression was already bing impatient.

    Seeing his eagerness, Qin Jiang was covered in cold sweat.

    He took a deep breath and asked, "Exactly what is your rtionship with my father?"

    ```

    The Crazy Old Man was startled by the remark, fell silent for a bit, and said, "You will know about this matterter. Right now, you''re too pathetic, not worthy of knowing!"

    Having said that, he patted his butt and walked out of the office.

    "Fuck!" Qin Jiang couldn''t help but curse, that Crazy Old Man''s words were simply too hurtful!

    After all, he had been cultivating for over two years, transforming from an ordinary person with no cultivation base to a powerparable to a Grandmaster. Though he wouldn''t dare im to be a prodigy, wasn''t he at least considered extraordinarily talented?

    To be dismissed so worthlessly by this old man?

    "Right." The voice of the Crazy Old Man drifted in from outside the door, "I''ve also looked into that fiancee of yours, that littless. Her background isn''t simple at all. If you really want to be with her, given your current strength, I''m afraid it''s far from enough..."

    "Anyway, work hard. Right now, you really are too insignificant!"

    The words of the Crazy Old Man were like a knife plunging into Qin Jiang''s heart!

    Xu Muge''s background isn''t simple?

    What does that mean?

    And...

    What exactly is his father''s rtionship with the Crazy Old Man?

    The more truths he encountered, the more he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined. There were many mysteries on him waiting to be unraveled!

    After the Crazy Old Man left, Shen Longting tentatively said to Qin Jiang, "Master, shall I announce that you will take the position of Chairman of Longting Group today?"

    "Sure!" Qin Jiang nodded. After all, he couldn''t really ignore the Crazy Old Man''s orders.

    "Great!" Shen Longting''spany was taken by Qin Jiang, but he was not a bit unhappy. Instead, he was somewhat excited, "Then shall I give you a tour of thepany today?"

    "Okay!" Qin Jiang was somewhat helpless. He hadn''t expected that just by stopping by, he would be the richest man in Jiangcheng?

    After all, Longting Group was the number one consortium in Jiangcheng!

    As the Chairman of Longting Group, Qin Jiang naturally became the richest man in Jiangcheng!

    Shen Longting personally took Qin Jiang around the office area of Longting Group, introducing him to everything about Longting Group.

    Qin Jiang wasn''t particrly interested.

    He said with a smile, "Little Shen, although the old man has told you to transfer thepany to me, I definitely won''t have the energy to manage it. So, there''s no need to introduce so much to me. You will still be the one making the decisions for thispany. That won''t change."

    "Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Longting said with augh, "I just wanted Master to get a glimpse of Longting Group."

    After all, even though the Crazy Old Man was the founder and investor of Longting Group, Shen Longting had been running it for many years; it had been his hard work and dedication. Therefore, Shen Longting had deep feelings for Longting Group.

    Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Alright, it''s about time for me to head back."

    "Oh, those two ''fish'' should still be okay, right?"

    Shen Longting chuckled, "Don''t worry, I''ve been keeping a very close watch on your five hundred million."

    Shen Longting had someone watching the Rong Family Father and Son around the clock, afraid of any slip-up.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "The gambling match starts tomorrow. I hope the Rong Family won''t use any dirty tactics. Otherwise, I will make them regret it!"

    Shen Longting said with concern, "I''ve already found out that the Rong Family has invited the God of Gamblers from Fragrant City to ensure their victory in this gamble. Do you have confidence, Master?"

    "A God of Gamblers isn''t invincible," Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I''ll counter whatever moves they make!"

    As they were talking, several figures approached from the opposite direction.

    "Qin Jiang! How the hell did you sneak in here?" Wen Wu''s expression changed upon seeing Qin Jiang, and he reprimanded loudly.

    As the number one local consortium in Jiangcheng, Longting Group wasn''t a ce where just anybody coulde and go!

    This ex-convict, he also has the qualifications toe in?

 Chapter 132 Gambling God Ye!

    Qin Jiang''s mood was utterly ruined, "Really fucking hell, why do I keep running into idiots today!"

    Upon entering, he encountered Zhuang Yutong and her daughter.

    And after strolling inside with Shen Longting, he even bumped into Wen Wu, this idiot?

    As for his cousin, Qin Jiang could not have any less fondness for him!

    If it weren''t for the slight blood rtion, he would have beaten the shit out of Wen Wu long ago!

    "I''m asking you a question!" Wen Wu demanded aggressively, "How did you sneak in here! What are you trying to do! What''s your purpose!"

    Qin Jiang replied coolly, "This is mypany, Ie as I please! Do I need to report to you?"

    Wen Wuughed scornfully, "You work here? What kind of job? A security guard or a janitor?"

    "President Liu, Longting Group is a high-end enterprise, we can''t just hire anyone with a criminal history," Wen Wu sneered, "I suggest checking his background before deciding whether to hire him or not!"

    Wen Wu looked at Qin Jiang with amusement.

    President Liu''s face darkened, "Are you telling me how to do my job?!"

    Wen Wu''s facial color changed drastically, "No, no! I just misspoke..."

    President Liu pped him across the face!

    "p!"

    "Apologize to Mr. Qin immediately!"

    President Liu ordered coldly.

    Although he did not know Qin Jiang''s specific identity, he knew that Qin Jiang was extremely important!

    Even Shen Longting treated him with utmost respect! How could he dare to offend him?

    "What?!"

    Wen Wu couldn''t believe what he just heard, "You... You want me to apologize to him?"

    "p!" President Liu''s face turned icy, "Does that inconvenience you?!"

    After receiving two ps in a row, Wen Wu''s face turned beet red and it stung sharply!

    He red at Qin Jiang, teeth clenched, his eyes full of resentment.

    Shen Longting''s expression darkened, "Who are you ring at?!"

    "I..." Wen Wu, with fists clenched tightly out of anger, said, "President Liu, isn''t your Longting Group going too far here! You hit me, and that''s because you have the authority! But some small employee of yourpany dares to speak to me with that tone!"

    "Isn''t that a bit too much?!"

    "p!" President Liu''s hand swung out another p, and he angrily said, "What smallpany employee? This is the Chairman of Longting Group¡ªMr. Shen!"

    Upon hearing this, Wen Wu nearly wet himself on the spot!

    He knelt down with a thump...

    "Mr. Shen, I''m sorry, I''m so sorry... I didn''t know it was you!"

    He waspletely terrified!

    After all, he was here to discuss a coboration with Longting Group, needing to curry favor with Longting Group... and now, he had offended the Chairman of Longting Group as soon as he arrived?

    How was he supposed to proceed now?

    Shen Longting asked coldly, "What''s this guy doing here?"

    President Liu immediately stepped forward and reported, "He''s from a minor family in Jinling City, the Wen Family, and he came to discuss a small project in Jinling worth about a hundred million with us."

    Wen Wu''s face turned deathly pale as he begged, "Mr. Shen, I''m sorry, I really didn''t know it was you..."

    How could he have imagined that the middle-aged man standing beside Qin Jiang was the Chairman of Longting Group?

    "Qin Jiang, since we are cousins, please plead on my behalf..."

    He pleaded desperately.

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "You''ve brought this upon yourself!"

    Shen Longtingmanded in a cold voice, "President Liu, kick him out!"

    "Alright!" Seeing that Shen Longting was angry, President Liu hurriedly dragged Wen Wu away.

    Wen Wu wanted to resist, but Shen Longting said coldly, "If you dare utter one more useless word, not only will I see to it that your cooperation falls through, but I will also bankrupt your family! Do you believe me?"

    That statement made Wen Wu shudder all over, and he red at Qin Jiang with eyes filled with hatred!

    Just when the coboration was about to be agreed upon, his appearance led to offending Shen Longting!

    ```

    He felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger!

    If it hadn''t been for Qin Jiang''s sudden appearance here, would he have run his mouth off?

    Qin Jiang watched indifferently as Wen Wu was dragged away, with not a trace of pity in his eyes. Just for the words that guy said yesterday, he deserved a good lesson!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "I''m a bit tired, I''ll head back first."

    "Okay, I''ll see you off!" Shen Longting hurriedly escorted Qin Jiang out of the Longting Group.

    Meanwhile, in Jinling City, within the Chu Family residence.

    In a room.

    A young man was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

    His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing carried a peculiar rhythm, as streams of visible energy crazily converged around him!

    The aura grew stronger and stronger!

    Finally, it reached a peak!

    He suddenly opened his eyes, and with a muffled sound, a fierce aura burst forth from his body!

    "Atst, I''ve broken through!"

    Chu Tianjiao muttered to himself, a cold smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

    "Thete stage of the Transformation Realm!"

    The Transformation Realm is equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster! It''s already incredibly powerful at this level!

    To take another step forward is exceedingly difficult!

    Yet, he had been trapped in this realm for three years and had finally made a breakthrough!

    "Now that I''ve stepped into thete stage of the Transformation Realm, I should, hopefully, be eligible to be chosen by those people..." he murmured, his eyes filled with anticipation.

    "It''s about time to take a trip to Jiangcheng. I want to see for myself what abilities that fellow has, for even Chun to be bested at his hands..."

    "Xu Muge... three years ago! You publicly rejected me, causing me to lose all face. Now, I will go to Jiangcheng once again. I want to see what right this stubborn woman still has to defy me!"

    A hint of yfulness tinged his words.

    Ever since Chu Tianjiao was born, he''s never failed to get what he wanted!

    And Xu Muge...

    Was the first woman who dared to refuse him!

    Therefore, in a fit of anger, he ruined this ignorant woman! Who would have thought... she managed to turn the tables?

    But this only made him more interested.

    After all, isn''t conquering a thorny rose far more thrilling than those women who throw themselves at him?

    He rose from the bed and walked out of the room.

    "Congrattions, Young Master, on your breakthrough!"

    "Congrattions, Young Master, your strength has advanced further!"

    As Chu Tianjiao came out, the Chu Family''s servants congratted him, one after another, excitedly.

    After all, the stronger Chu Tianjiao became, the more prosperous the Chu Family would be!

    That was a good thing!

    Chu Tianjiao walked past them with an expressionless face.

    In his view, his own breakthrough to thete stage of the Transformation Realm was nothing to boast about, as it was only natural.

    After all,pared to his brother with peerless talent and his father who already stood at the pinnacle of Jinling, he still had a long way to go...

    "Chun!" he shouted.

    Chun''s graceful figure appeared before him, immediately kneeling on one knee, "Young Master!"

    Chu Tianjiao stood with his hands behind his back, "Arrange my itinerary. I will take a trip to Jiangcheng tomorrow!"

    Chun''s heart trembled, then she nodded, "Yes."

    At this moment, inside the Rong Family''s main hall.

    Patriarch Rong sat with a stern face, toying with two Iron Galls in his hand, his expression gloomy. An elderly man, resembling a butler, hurried in, "Patriarch! The God of Gamblers Ye has arrived!"

    Upon hearing this, Patriarch Rong''s eyes brightened, "Wuji arrived so soon? Quick! Bring him in at once!"

    ```

 Chapter 133: Chapter 133 The Big Bet Begins!

    "Yes!"

    Soon, the butler led a man in his thirties from outside into the room.

    "Uncle Rong, long time no see!"

    The young man greeted him with a slight smile.

    This young man was none other than the famous Fragrant City Gambling God, Ye Wujie.

    Coming from a family of the Gambling King, he had never lost since he began gambling. Two years ago, in the World God of Gamblerspetition, he won the championship and the title of the God of Gamblers!

    The Rong Family had old ties with the Ye Family, which is why they were able to invite him over.

    "Wujie, please, have a seat¡ª" Patriarch Rong hurriedly invited Ye Wujie to sit down.

    Ye Wujie inquired, "I heard that Buhuo and my nephew ran into some trouble?"

    "That''s right." Patriarch Rong took a drag of his dry pipe, slowly exhaled, and sighed, "They''ve been caught by some kid, and now he''s using them to threaten me."

    Ye Wujie frowned, "Someone dares to be so bold?"

    Patriarch Rong snorted coldly, "They just had bad luck, running into such a tough character!"

    "Wujie, this time, I''m going to have to trouble you to take action. After all, five billion is not a small amount, and I certainly don''t want to give it to them. That''s why I''ve set up this gambling event."

    "Rest assured." Ye Wujie said with a proud smile, "As long as it''s a gambling event, when I, Ye Wujie, step in, no one can match me!"

    His tone was filled with confidence and pride.

    After all, as the champion of the World God of Gamblerspetition, he had every right to say that!

    "Hahaha¡ª" Patriarch Rongughed heartily, "With you here, I can definitely rest easy! Wujie, once the deed is done, I will definitely not treat you poorly!"

    "I want you to make sure that kid loses miserably. He mustn''t be let off so easily!"

    Patriarch Rong''s eyes glinted with a cold light, "For someone to dare kidnap my son and grandson as a threat! This is a provocation to the honor of the Rong Family, absolutely unforgivable! He cannot be let off so easily!"

    Ye Wujie smiled lightly, "Don''t worry, Uncle Rong, I will surely vent this anger for you!"

    "When the timees, just watch how I trap that kid! Uncle Rong, just tell me directly how you want him to lose."

    "I''ll make him regret crossing you."

    Patriarch Rongughed heartily, "Good! With those words, I can rest assured!"

    This time, with Ye Wujie at his side, the gambling event was as good as won!

    Moreover, the most important part was...

    He had made a second preparation; by the time it came into y, even if Qin Jiang had wings, he wouldn''t be able to fly away!

    The next day, at noon, Jiangcheng, Liu Family Casino was packed with people!

    Today, the casino was particrly crowded, making it impossible to navigate, and everyone''s face was filled with excitement!

    "Have you heard?"

    "Today, there''s an earth-shattering gamble!"

    "Of course, I''ve heard. It''s a once-in-a-lifetime mega gambling event. I''ve heard that the bet is a whopping five billion... it''s terrifying! Five billion, we couldn''t earn that much money in ten lifetimes!"

    "That''s right, and besides, I''ve heard the Rong Family has invited over the Fragrant City Gambling God, Ye Wujie, to hold the fort..."

    "The God of Gamblers? The one who won the championship in the World God of Gamblerspetition?"

    The crowd was filled with awe in their voices.

    After all, a super gamble of five billion, plus the presence of God of Gamblers Ye Wujie, was enough to excite and thrill countless gamblers!

    The atmosphere inside the casino was boisterous.

    People were whispering and discussing, with eyes shimmering with excitement and anticipation.

    The air was electrified with enthusiasm.

    Soon, a ck sedan pulled up outside the casino.

    An elderly man stepped out of the car.

    He leaned on a cane.

    Commanding respect without anger.

    It was none other than Patriarch Rong!

    "Is that the Patriarch of the Rong Family from Jinling City? He''s a super tycoon with a worth of hundreds of billions! The Rong Family, they upy half the kingdom in the beauty market!"

    "That''s certainly not the case... Any force or enterprise that wants to break into the beauty industry must get the nod from the Rong Family, or else they can''t even get into that circle!"

    "The other party is really bold, daring to provoke such a big shot..."

    "Think about it, those who dare to mess with such big shots, naturally, are not simple characters either!"

    "That''s true!"

    While everyone was talking, on the other side of the car, a man stepped out.

    He had his hair slicked back and was wearing a well-fitted suit, exuding a gentlemanly demeanor.

    With every move, he carried the air of a noble son.

    "Could this be the ''Fragrant City Gambling God,'' Ye Wujie? He''s even more handsome than imagined!"

    "Such a strong aura!"

    The crowd was full of admiration.

    With a group of bodyguards escorting them, the two men entered the casino directly.

    Patriarch Rong snorted coldly, "Has that kid arrived yet?"

    "Hahahaha¡ª"

    A heartyugh rang out as Liu Hu emerged with a smile, "Patriarch, what''s the rush? After all, the prey that''s arrived today can''t fly away, right?"

    Seeing Liu Hu, Patriarch Rong''s expression softened slightly, "Then, I''ll have to ask Sir Hu to preside over the fairness of today''s proceedings, hoping that certain people won''t deny their losses after they lose!"

    Liu Hu chuckled, "Don''t worry, I, Liu Hu, am still capable of that."

    "Please¡ª"

    He invited Patriarch Rong and Ye Wujie to sit down directly at the middle gambling table.

    From the moment Ye Wujie took his seat at the gambling table, the atmosphere of the ce changed, and everyone in the room felt a powerful sense of oppression emanating from him.

    "As expected of the God of Gamblers!"

    "The moment he sits there, I get the feeling that he''s unbeatable!"

    "That''s right..."

    "Me too!"

    "If we dared to gamble against him, we''d probably lose even our underpants..."

    "And you think you''re eligible to gamble against him?"

    "There are a lot of people, but it looks like I haven''t arrived toote." Zhang Haosheng also arrived.

    Today, he was dressed very casually.

    He was also wearing a hat, and since he didn''t show his face in public very often,

    not many people recognized him.

    "How could I miss out on such a high-stakes gamble?" An old man entered with a young woman, a slight smile ying at the corners of his mouth.

    "Elder Shen!"

    Seeing the old man, Zhang Haosheng immediately stood up respectfully and greeted him.

    "Zhang, there''s no need for such formality." Shen Tianrong said with a chuckle.

    Shen Yueling looked at Ye Wujie with a hint of shock in her eyes, "Is this the ''Fragrant City Gambling God,'' Ye Wujie? What a strong aura!"

    "I wonder how that guy dares to gamble against the Gambling God... I really want to see how he makes a fool of himselfter! He definitely can''t win!"

    Shen Tianrong quietly watched everything.

    Of course, he did not have high hopes for Qin Jiang, after all, his opponent was Ye Wujie!

    A true God of Gamblers!

    At the gambling table, he was an invincible presence.

    "Such a lively scene, has Qin Jiang arrived yet?" Zhao Yuefei also arrived; she was eager to see how Qin Jiang would try snatching prey from the jaws of the God of Gamblers!

    After seeing Zhang Haosheng and others, she merely nodded faintly as a gesture of recognition.

    "Quite a crowd, aren''t there, old Rong? Are you afraid others won''t know how badly you''re losing, so you deliberately leaked the news to let these peoplee watch a joke?"

    Following a light chuckle, Qin Jiang and Shen Longting, among others, walked in, and behind them were two men tied up, who were none other than the Rong Family Father and Son!

    Seeing Qin Jiang arrive with his son and grandson, Patriarch Rong''s eyes shed with astonishing chill, and the iron gall in his hand made a creaking sound, "Kid, I''ll let you be arrogant for a moment, but soon you won''t be able to keep it up!"

 Chapter 134 Playing with Life!

    Hearing this, Qin Jiang simply smiled indifferently, "Let''s see who has thestugh!"

    "I heard you''ve brought in some outside help?"

    Patriarch Rong said coldly, "For professional matters, naturally, we need professionals to handle it! Or do you intend to bully an old man like me?"

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang responded calmly, "Whatever, I''m the winner today anyway."

    "Such arrogance!" Ye Wujie snorted coldly, "Do you know who your opponent is today?"

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "Some shrimp soldiers and crab generals? I don''t recognize them, nor am I interested in doing so."

    "You¡ª!" Ye Wujie was fuming with rage, he refused to believe that with his reputation being spread far and wide for so long, this guy wouldn''t know his name!

    "Very good, it seems you are smart enough to know how to provoke me. But if you think that will work, then that''s justughable."

    "In front of absolute power, all these little tricks are futile!"

    Qin Jiang nced over the crowd and noticed that Xu Muge had not yet arrived, feeling a bit disappointed. It seemed that she wouldn''t witness his great show of strength today.

    He steadied his mind and went directly to the gambling table, taking a seat with an air of grandiosity.

    In that moment, his aura changed.

    "So you''re the Fragrant City Gambling God... Ye Wujie, right?"

    Ye Wujie let out a chilling smile, "Indeed, it seems you have heard of my name after all."

    Qin Jiangughed, "No matter how renowned the name, it doesn''t change the fact you''re a degenerate gambler."

    Veins bulged on Ye Wujie''s face!

    This guy, his words are infuriating...

    Patriarch Rong quickly reminded him, "Wujie, he''s deliberately provoking you, don''t let him get to you."

    "I know."

    Ye Wujie struggled to calm himself down, "Since you''re so confident, why don''t we raise the stakes? How about it?"

    Qin Jiang replied nonchntly, "Fine, how would you like to bet? I''ll stay till the very end!"

    "Good!" Ye Wujie sneered with a smile, "You''ve got guts!"

    "Let''s do this, we''ll raise the bet to ten billion. If you win against me, the ten billion is all yours!"

    Once he finished speaking, a check appeared in Patriarch Rong''s hand.

    "This check contains ten billion! You may verify it if you wish!"

    Saying this, he showed the check to Qin Jiang.

    Upon seeing this check, everyone present began to see red with envy!

    "A ten billion check!"

    "This...is a bit too extravagant!"

    Their eyes were filled with desire; had there not been so many people around, they would have rushed to snatch it!

    This was ten billion, after all!

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly and said, "The check is fine. State your conditions."

    Ye Wujie smirked coldly, "If you lose, kneel and apologize to the Rong Family and cripple both of your arms!"

    "The condition isn''t excessive, is it?"

    "After all, you were just now very confident, iming that I, Ye Wujie, am nothing but shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

    "Agreed!" Qin Jiang epted the condition outright.

    Everyone felt their hearts suspended in anticipation!

    Shen Yueling pursed her lips, "Has this guy got money on his mind? Daring to agree to this? He''s insane!"

    Zhao Yufei frowned and said, "Qin Jiang, be prudent! The guy opposite you is no nobody!"

    Qin Jiang waved his hand dismissively, "I don''t believe in any damn God of Gamblers!"

    "When the timees, I''ll shuffle the cards too."

    "I want to see just how capable he is to cheat right under my nose!"

    Seeing Qin Jiang''s arrogant demeanor, people couldn''t help but shake their heads in dismay. Often, it''s the arrogant ones who fall the fastest, and this guy was doomed.

    Ye Wujie held the name of the God of Gamblers!

    Never defeated!

    A mere nobody?

    Ye Wujie burst outughing, "Good! Very good! Then it''s settled!"

    "Let''s get started then. Whether it''s poker, mahjong, Pai Gow, dice... anything you want to y, I''ll see it through to the end!"

    "Hold on!" Qin Jiang said, "Gambling God Ye, you''re a professional gambler after all. Since you were the one who set the conditions just now, it wouldn''t be too much if I set one now, would it?"

    "Speak!" Ye Wujie gestured nonchntly, "You decide the game."

    Qin Jiang smiled.

    Then, his expression slowly turned somber, and suddenly, a revolver appeared in his hand.

    This scene made everyone in attendance involuntarily flinch!

    "Betting money is too boring. Let''s up the ante a bit, with the loser forfeiting their life as well! How about it?"

    This statement immediately escted the atmosphere to a climax!

    Ye Wujie''splexion also became grim; had this guy gone mad?

    To y a deadly game with him?

 Chapter 135 Its Decided!

    Qin Jiang sneered, "What''s wrong? You can''t possibly be scared, right? Aren''t you always confident of winning when ites to gambling?"

    Ye Wujie took a deep breath and his fists slowly clenched, "State the rules."

    As the God of Gamblers, he obviously wasn''t limited to just ying cards.

    A member of the Gambling King''s family.

    From a young age, he had undergone countless training sessions, his memory, eyesight, listening, hearing... all top-notch!!

    However, even with all those skills, when Qin Jiang brought out the revolver, his mind still trembled fiercely.

    This guy is crazier than him!

    He''d never yed with such high stakes before!

    Amidst the tension, a strong sense of excitement also appeared on his face.

    The others at the scene were all astonished!

    This game was incredibly high-stakes!

    If you lost, you didn''t just lose ten billion, but also your life!

    Qin Jiang smiled indifferently and then ced the three bullets on the table.

    "This is a six-bullet revolver, now I will load three bullets in a row, spin it randomly, each person can spin once. After confirming it''s OK, each person will shoot themselves."

    "The person who dies is considered the loser."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he loaded the bullets into the cylinder and spun the revolver.

    "Click-click!"

    The cylinder of the revolver spun wildly.

    Everyone''s breath was held tight!

    Even breathing became rapid, faces flushed, fists clenched!

    Shen Yueling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Two lunatics!"

    Shen Tianrong said lightly, "Mr. Qin is daring because of his mastery, but Ye Wujie was born into the Gambling King''s family, always famous for gambling, and at his young age, he is a person of the God of Gamblers level."

    "He has his own pride too."

    "Therefore, the battle between the two is inevitable!"

    Qin Jiang smiled faintly, watching the revolver spin wildly in his hand, then directly pushed it towards Ye Wujie, "Your turn, spin it!"

    Upon hearing this, Ye Wujie expressionless, took the revolver!

    But if you looked closely, you would see his hand was actually trembling slightly.

    Qin Jiang was calm andposed.

    After taking a deep breath, Ye Wujie began to spin the revolver in his hand.

    "Click, click!"

    The metal collision sound reached everyone''s ears, striking hard at their souls!

    Ye Wujie seemed calm andposed, but in fact, he was listening intently to the sound of the cylinder.

    Hearing is a very important part of gambling!

    Like ying dice, for example, where you rely on your hearing to discern subtle differences.

    Only then can you identify which dice it is.

    He listened carefully for a good while until the revolver stopped, and then he put it down.

    "OK," Ye Wujie sneered, "Shall I start or will you?"

    Qin Jiang indifferently said, "As you like."

    "Fine!" Ye Wujie said lightly, "Then I''ll start!"

    Everyone was astounded!

    Ye Wujie was too bold, after all, in this situation, whoever went first might just die first.

    And Ye Wujie''s offer to go first showcased his tremendous courage.

    Ye Wujie held the revolver steadily in his hand and then, took a deep breath, slowly pulling the trigger!

    Click...

    Everyone''s heart raced to their throats!

    However, in the end, there was no sound.

    "nk!"

    Everyone sighed in relief.

    Ye Wujie smirked slightly and then tossed the revolver to Qin Jiang, "Your turn!"

    Zhao Yuefei and the others felt a sudden thrill in their hearts.

    This time, the pressure was directly on Qin Jiang!

    Qin Jiang chuckled, picked up the pistol, aimed at the side of his head, and then... pulled the trigger!

    "nk!"

    Everyone involuntarily swallowed their saliva.

    In the next four chambers, there were three bullets left!

    Qin Jiang sneered and ced the revolver back in front of Ye Wujie, "Your turn¡ª"

    Ye Wujie''s palms were filled with cold sweat at that moment.

    Still, his trembling hands took up the revolver!

    After several seconds, he tremulously raised his hand, aimed the gun at himself¡­

    Every heart in the room hung suspended!

    Ye Wujie stared intently at Qin Jiang and sneered, "Kid, watch closely!"

    "Don''t think you can beat me like this!"

    He slowly pulled the trigger...

    Click!

    nk!

    "Wow¡ª"

    The scenepletely erupted!

    Patriarch Rongughed heartily, "Kid, you''re definitely going to lose this time!"

    Ye Wujieughed loudly, pride evident on his face, "Did you really think I can only y cards and mahjong? You''re too na?ve!"

    Everyone''s hearts trembled violently.

    Now, with three bullets in three chambers, Qin Jiang was certain to die if he continued the challenge!

    Certain to lose!

    Ye Wujie stood up coldly, gazing at Qin Jiang, "I''ve won. Now, keep your promise."

    But Qin Jiang smiled chillingly and said, "Who said you''ve won?"

    He directly took the revolver, then aimed it at his temple.

    "Watch closely!"

    Everyone''s heart trembled wildly, shocked to the core! Was this guy still continuing?

    Could it be he was seeking death?

    "Gambling God Ye, I have won this bet today!" Under countless stunned gazes, Qin Jiang''s finger pulled the trigger¡­

    "Bang!"

 Chapter 136 Go Back on Ones Word!

    A deafening sound erupted!

    The bullet whizzed out of the barrel!

    After the sound of the bullet''s whizz, in an instant, everyone''s chest began to oppressively tighten!

    "Huff¡ª"

    "Huff¡ª"

    Everyone''s heart pounded wildly.

    Nobody had the courage to witness the scene that followed!

    After all¡­

    The sight of a headshot would certainly be extremely, extremely gruesome!

    However, what happened nextpletely dumbfounded them all!

    Qin Jiang waspletely unharmed.

    Stunned for several seconds, they all stared with wide eyes, filled with disbelief!

    What happened?

    This¡­

    This was too inconceivable!

    Qin Jiang''s palm was clenched tight, ced near his temple.

    On his face, there was a hint of a smile.

    And Ye Wujie''s mouth was agape, his eyes filled with shock! He had clearly seen Qin Jiang aim the gun at his own head¡­

    How, how did this happen?!

    The next moment, Qin Jiang slowly lowered his hand from his temple, smiling, "Unfortunately, I''m fine."

    Then, under the astonished and shocked gazes of countless people, he slowly opened his palm!

    In the center of that palm, therey a bullet!

    "Gulp!"

    "Gulp!"

    Everyone swallowed hard!

    What kind of monster was this?

    He¡­ he actually caught the bullet with his bare hand?

    A tremor suddenly struck Ye Wujie''s heart!

    Patriarch Rong''s smile frozepletely on his face, transforming into disbelief.

    This guy¡­ what just happened?

    Catching a bullet with bare hands!

    And at such a close distance?!

    Is he even human?

    "ck!"

    The crisp sound of the handgun falling onto the table drew everyone''s thoughts back to reality!

    The revolver, still spinning, came to a stop in front of Ye Wujie.

    Qin Jiang smiled, "Now, it''s your turn."

    Ye Wujie''s face turned ashen, hisplexion alternating between pallor and absolute dread, his breathing grew increasingly rapid.

    Cold sweat on his forehead began to seep out little by little¡­

    "Let''s begin," said Qin Jiang indifferently, "Either concede or, after you''re dead, admit defeat."

    This sentence pierced Ye Wujie''s heart like a needle!

    He abruptly grabbed the handgun and pointed it at his head.

    All became utterly still!

    Ye Wujie stared coldly at Qin Jiang, silent, but the cold sweat incessantly seeping out betrayed him.

    Patriarch Rong shouted, "My esteemed nephew, don''t do it!"

    Ye Wujie''s lips trembled, and eventually, his hand rxed.

    "ck!"

    The revolver fell to the ground!

    "I¡­ I lost."

    His eyes suddenly lost all their luster.

    With that statement, it was as though all his vigor had been drained!

    This battle, he lost miserably.

    Even his pride was utterly shattered by Qin Jiang!

    There wasplete silence in the area!

    This gambling match had finally been decided.

    Qin Jiang had won against Ye Wujie!!

    Nobody could have anticipated this reversal.

    After all, just moments earlier, Qin Jiang seemed to have been in a certain death situation.

    Unexpectedly, this freak... actually managed to catch a bullet with his bare hands!

    The shocking scene from before, they still hadn''t recovered from it till now.

    Qin Jiang said with a faint smile, "If that''s the case, then, Patriarch Rong, it''s time for you to fulfill your promise."

    "One billion, not a cent less, otherwise today, not a single person from the Rong Family or Gambling God Ye will leave this ce!"

    His gaze suddenly turned dark.

    Patriarch Rong''s face turned a pallid mix of greens and whites, his hand gripping the cane tightly!

    On his aged face, a shade of coldness emerged, "Are you threatening me?"

    Qin Jiang replied coolly, "You can take it that way!"

    "Hahaha¡ª" Patriarch Rong burst into uproariousughter, "Very good, very good! However, the Rong Family is not without honor; what we promised, we will deliver!"

    With that, he threw out a check.

    "Inside the check are ten billion," said Patriarch Rong indifferently, "Take it and go."

    Everyone was stunned, they had not expected the Rong Family to truly fulfill their promise, directly giving ten billion to Qin Jiang!

    "And the rest?" Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Ten billion is not enough!"

    Patriarch Rong replied coolly, "The names of these distributors are the Rong Family''s business secrets, naturally they cannot be leaked! With so many outsiders present, it is naturally not possible to disclose them now!"

    He gave Liu Hu a knowing look.

    Liu Hu immediately understood.

    Patriarch Rong then spoke again, "The rest of the people, please leave this ce as well."

    "Now, it is time for a private conversation between Mr. Qin and myself."

    Zhang Haosheng and others looked at Qin Jiang, seemingly seeking his opinion.

    Qin Jiang, however, appeared calm and waved his hand, "Everyone, please go out first."

    Everyone was instantly cleared out.

    Only Liu Hu''s men, Patriarch Rong, Ye Wujie, and Qin Jiang remained on the scene.

    Patriarch Rong pped his hands lightly and said indifferently, "Sir Hu, it''s time for you to take action!"

    At the drop of these words!

    "Swoosh swoosh swoosh¡ª"

    Liu Hu''s men, one after another, drew out weapons from within their clothes, and an ominous atmosphere spread!

 Chapter 137 Mr. Chu is Here!

    Patriarch Rong burst into heartyughter, his voice filled with triumph.

    "Qin Jiang, you couldn''t possibly think I hadn''t prepared a backup n, could you?"

    "You can dodge one bullet, but can you dodge ten, twenty..."

    He didn''t get to finish his sentence when his expression suddenly changed dramatically!

    Because he saw the dark muzzles of guns pointed directly at him!

    "This..."

    In an instant, his face showed disbelief as cold sweat dripped down.

    "Liu Hu, what is the meaning of this!"

    He roared with anger in his eyes, feeling that he had been set up by Liu Hu.

    Liu Hu let out a sneer, "Patriarch Rong, it seems you have miscalcted this time."

    "I am a loyal fan of Lord Qin!"

    "How could I possibly betray him?"

    Liu Hu chastised righteously, "Do you think that little bit of money you gave me is something I crave?"

    He had seen for himself how terrifying Qin Jiang and his master''s prowess were!

    To actually offend Qin Jiang...

    He might not have enough heads to lose, even if he had ten of them!

    Patriarch Rong wants to bribe him? Even with the money, he wouldn''t dare to do it! After all, having money doesn''t mean he''ll have the life to spend it!

    Seeing this, Qin Jiang sneered, "Patriarch Rong, are you nning on reneging on our deal?"

    He sat there imposingly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

    He had already calcted everything.

    To prevent this old fox from reneging!

    So, he had already given Liu Hu a heads-up.

    Patriarch Rong wanted Liu Hu to turn traitor? That would depend on whether Liu Hu had the guts to do so!

    Seeing this, Patriarch Rong sat down in his chair, as if all his energy had been drained...

    "I concede!"

    He sighed deeply, "I never expected, having been wise all my life, to be yed by a young man like you! Youngster, you''re really something!"

    "With your IQ and tactics, still daring to call yourself wise all your life? What a fool." Qin Jiang didn''t mince words as he exposed him.

    "You¡ª!" Patriarch Rong trembled with rage.

    "p!" Qin Jiang pped him across the face and said coldly, "Hand over everything you promised me, or none of you are leaving here today!"

    Qin Jiang''s voice wasced with murderous intent.

    Patriarch Rong''s eyelids twitched, and seeing the boiling killing intent in Qin Jiang''s eyes, he bit back the burning pain on his face and said defeatedly, "I hadn''t prepared in advance..."

    "p!"

    Qin Jiang sneered, "It seems you really had no intention of keeping your promise, old man. You''ve got some thick skin!"

    "You have ten minutes to get everything ready!"

    "Okay, okay!" Patriarch Rong dared not dy any further. With someone ruthless like Qin Jiang present, and so many guns pointed at his head, how could he continue to y tricks?

    "Unlock his phone for me, and record down everyone in his contacts and on his social media! Do not miss a single one!"

    Qin Jiang instructed indifferently.

    "Yes!"

    Liu Hu immediately ordered his men to do it.

    Patriarch Rong''s face reddened with anger, "Young man, don''t push people too far!!!"

    He was nearly going mad; this was no different from being stripped bare!

    Qin Jiang responded coldly, "Today, I am pushing too far, so what!"

    Patriarch Rong, faced with Qin Jiang''s domineering and overwhelming presence, eventually chose to bow his head, "It makes no difference..."

    More than twenty minutester, those who had been waiting outside saw Qin Jiang and his party emerge.

    And they saw on Patriarch Rong''s old face a trace of having been pped, his expression gloomy, which shocked them.

    What exactly had happened inside?

    Patriarch Rong said in a dark tone, "Young man, you are indeed formidable. I respect that! We... shall meet again. We''ll continue to do business in the future!"

    With that, he turned and left.

    Ye Wujie said, "You are the first to win against me; if there''s a chance, I will gamble with you again!"

    They left in disarray.

    And Qin Jiang remained stoically detached throughout.

    As Patriarch Rong left, a car stopped outside of the Liu Family Casino.

    "Mr. Chu, we''ve arrived!" Chun said respectfully, "That guy is inside."

 Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Sword drawn and bows bent!

    In the car, a young man descended.

    He was tall and handsome, radiating an air of nobility.

    He gave off an extremely deep, terrifying feeling.

    This youth was none other than Chu Tianjiao!

    "That guy, he''s inside?" Chu Tianjiao exhaled softly, murmuring to himself.

    "I heard that the Rong Family has a gambling game with that guy, and they''ve invited the Fragrant City Gambling God, Ye Wujie, to help out. I wonder what the current situation of the battle is like."

    A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Chu Tianjiao''s mouth, "Who would have thought this guy''s reach was so broad. He''s actually gambled with the Fragrant City Gambling God, quite interesting indeed..."

    "But, all of this is meaningless!"

    Because, after today, this person would no longer exist in the world!

    "Let''s go, let''s go inside and see."

    After these words fell, Chu Tianjiao, with his hands sped behind his back, slowly walked forward.

    After entering the gambling house.

    Chu Tianjiao nced around, immediately spotting Qin Jiang in the crowd!

    "Is that him?"

    With his exceptional memory, he would never forget a face he had seen just once, and Qin Jiang''s gaze also fell on the person who had walked in.

    Chun!

    And... that young man beside her!

    Could this guy be Chu Tianjiao?

    Before he could speak, Chu Tianjiao had already walked over with amanding presence, his cold gaze fixed on him.

    Feeling the chill emanating from him.

    People began to retreat in fear, watching this sudden neer with panic in their eyes.

    They could feel that this young man was terrifying!!

    "Qin Jiang, I''ve heard a lot about you. My name is... Chu Tianjiao!" Chu Tianjiao gave a slight smile.

    Upon his words, the entire ce instantly exploded into chaos!

    Chu Tianjiao?

    This... is this the Prince of Jinling?

    The Chu Family, that''s a top family in Jinling City. Three years ago, Chu Tianjiao hade to Jiangcheng and caused havoc!

    Now, he... hase again?

    Even Zhang Haosheng''s face showed a grave expression.

    This was a genuinely significant figure!

    When Qin Jiang heard Chu Tianjiao''s name, a fierce killing intent also surfaced on his handsome face!

    "Chu Tianjiao!"

    His teeth were clenched, his face full of murderous intent.

    Three years ago, it was this bastard who had ruined Xu Muge!!!

    She had been living in a nightmare for the past three years.

    He had been thinking about how to kill this guy every moment, and now, he had appeared!

    Qin Jiang stepped toward Chu Tianjiao.

    His eyes were incredibly cold and sharp.

    "Coincidently, I also wish to meet you."

    Feeling the wariness from Qin Jiang, Chu Tianjiao scoffed disdainfully, "Qin Jiang, in my eyes, you''re just aplete ant."

    "You can''t raise any fighting spirit in me."

    "However... for an ant like you to dare challenge my authority, that really annoys me!"

    An aura of malice erupted from him.

    "Now, I''ll give you two choices. The first, cripple your limbs and destroy your cultivation, and I''ll spare you a dog''s life. Then, I''ll find Xu Muge myself and personally put her on a leash!"

    "Crack¡ª" Qin Jiang clenched his fists, "You''re courting death!"

    Terrible killing intent burst out from his eyes.

    Chu Tianjiao said coldly, "A powerless rage, that''s all. I was surprised Chun was defeated by you. But, topare yourself with me, you''re not even qualified!"

    Qin Jiang continued to advance, "Then let''s try!"

    Everyone held their breath, watching the scene unfold with intense nervousness!

    "Qin Jiang, have you gone mad?" Shen Yueling shouted urgently, "That''s Chu Tianjiao! You''re no match for him, retreat quickly! What are you trying to prove?"

    Chu Tianjiao was a martial arts prodigy!

    A genuine chosen son of heaven, how could Qin Jiang possibly be his opponent?

    The others were also talking among themselves, their eyes filled with fear and awe of Chu Tianjiao.

    Qin Jiang might have some ability, butpared to Chu Tianjiao, it was far too little!

    They were simply not on the same level.

    "Fine! Since you''re bent on seeking death, today, I''ll oblige you!" Chu Tianjiao snorted coldly, an overpowering aura bursting forth from him!

 Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Xu Muge Goes Missing!

    The two stood with their swords drawn and crossbows aimed, eyes emanating a fearsome murderous intent.

    Just then, an aged voice rang out, "Mr. Chu Tiandao, please show some respect for this old man, Mr. Qin is my benefactor, and I won''t stand by idly."

    Shen Tianrong stepped forward.

    His tone was stern.

    Chu Tianjiao turned his head and was surprised to see Shen Tianrong standing there.

    "Elder Mr. Shen, you intend to meddle in this affair?" Chu Tianjiao asked coldly.

    "Of course!"

    Shen Tianrong replied indifferently, "Mr. Qin is the benefactor of Shen Tianrong! Whoever opposes him is opposing me, Shen Tianrong, and Mr. Chu, you are no exception!"

    Shen Tianrong''s domineering words darkened Chu Tianjiao''s expression.

    "Qin Jiang, today you''re lucky," he said, no longer caring, and with a slight smile, he led his men away. "Now, I''ve changed my mind, I''m interested in a slower game..."

    A cat ying with a mouse, seemed like it could also be enjoyable?

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "Just don''t y yourself to death."

    "Hahaha¡ª" Chu Tianjiaoughed heartily, looking up to the sky, "I hope you can provide me with some entertainment."

    After saying that, he licked his lips, gave Qin Jiang a deep look, and then turned to leave.

    Today, with Shen Tianrong present, he knew he couldn''t touch Qin Jiang. After all, Shen Tianrong was the director of the Martial Arts Bureau in Jinling, his strength was undeniable, and he, a younger generation, was no match.

    But, Shen Tianrong could protect Qin Jiang once, twice... thrice?

    He didn''t believe that Shen Tianrong could be by Qin Jiang''s side at all times!

    After Chu Tianjiao left, Shen Tianrong let out a sigh and turned to Qin Jiang, cautioning him, "Mr. Qin, this fellow is not someone to be trifled with!"

    "The Chu Family is a rising power in today''s Jinling."

    "One family, three great talents."

    "Even my Shen Family can hardlypare."

    "Mr. Qin, Chu Tianjiao is known for holding grudges. You must be careful!"

    "Why not join our Martial Arts Bureau?"

    "If you have the backing of the Martial Arts Bureau, they won''t dare to be so reckless."

    Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang smiled lightly and said, "No need, I appreciate your kindness, Elder Shen, but I have always been ustomed to being idle and don''t like to be bound."

    Hearing this, Shen Tianrong could only sigh inwardly.

    It seemed that Qin Jiang was not easily swayed!

    He had indeed wanted Qin Jiang to join the Martial Arts Bureau, and then shine for it. After all, such talents are rare and hard toe by!

    The crowd dispersed one after another.

    After settling the matter, Qin Jiang also left Liu Hu''s gambling house.

    Zhao Yuefei followed him and said, "The Chu Family seems to have set their sights on the thing in my possession. Now that Chu Tianjiao hase, it looks like we are grasshoppers tied to the same string."

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "Don''t worry, he won''t be rampant for long."

    Known as the Prince of Jinling, Chu Tianjiao boasted monstrous talent, and Qin Jiang was indeed curious to see just how monstrous his talent could be!

    "By the way, why wasn''t Muge here today?" Zhao Yuefei suddenly asked.

    Qin Jiang''s heart jolted, he too wondered, why hadn''t Xu Mugee today?

    It was such an important matter, Xu Muge should have been present! Moreover, he had messaged her that morning, and Xu Muge had clearly responded!

    He felt a sense of unease.

    And just then, a phone call came in, carrying the anxious voice of Xu Mulin.

    "Qin Jiang! Something has happened, my sister is missing! We noticed she was gone early this morning, and now... we can''t get in touch with her by any means!!"

    Qin Jiang''s heart trembled!

 Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Peril at Daybreak

    Qin Jiang''s hand trembled slightly as he asked, "Take it slow! What happened?"

    Xu Mulin said, "My sister said she was going to Liu Hu''s casino with us today. But we haven''t seen her since early in the morning, and just now, my family tried calling her, and she didn''t pick up! We called several times... and it went straight to voicemail!"

    Qin Jiang''s heart was filled with extreme anxiety, "Are there any other clues?"

    Xu Mulin replied anxiously, "No!"

    Qin Yan took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I''ll bring her back safely! Tell my uncle and the others not to worry! Inform me immediately if you find any clues, got it?"

    Liu Ya''s voice, filled with curses, came through, "Qin Jiang, if anything happens to Muge today, you''re the one I''ll hold responsible!"

    Qin Jiang hung up the phone, his mind in total chaos.

    If Xu Muge was really abducted, then who was behind it?

    The Rong Family?

    Luo Shifei?

    Or... Chu Tianjiao?!

    His mind went nk!

    "Muge is in trouble?" Zhao Ruge also became anxious. After all, the people Qin Jiang had offended were no easy targets. If things turned violent, Xu Muge would be in danger!

    It so happened that Zhang Haosheng came out from inside at that moment.

    Qin Jiang, shaken, said, "Mayor Zhang, I have a favor to ask of you."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haosheng immediately tensed up, "Mr. Qin, go ahead!"

    Qin Jiang suppressed the tumult in his heart, "Muge is missing. I would like you to help check the surveince footage."

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Haosheng''s heart skipped a beat, "Alright! I''ll get right on it!"

    He knew how important Xu Muge was to Qin Jiang!

    If something were to really happen to Xu Muge, it would be a big deal!

    Having interacted with Qin Jiang so many times, he understood the other man''s temperament.

    Qin Jiang waited anxiously.

    He called Xu Muge''s phone over and over...

    But it always showed as powered off! He had a bad premonition!

    About ten minutester, Zhang Haosheng finally got hold of the surveince footage and said to Qin Jiang, "Mr. Qin, we''ve got the surveince. This is the suspect''s vehicle!"

    "Click!" Qin Jiang clenched his fists tightly, staring at the car.

    Zhang Haosheng continued, "Based on the clues we have now, the approximate location of this car is in an abandoned unfinished building in the suburbs!"

    Qin Jiang''s voice was cold, "Mayor Zhang, thank you. Please send me the location."

    "Sure!" Zhang Haosheng didn''t dare dy.

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "I''m going to take a look too!"

    After all, she saw Xu Muge as her own sister. With this situation developing, she had to go and see for herself!

    Qin Jiang said, "If you go, I''ll have another person to look after."

    Zhao Yuefei snorted lightly, "You think too much; I''m not the pushover you imagine!"

    Having gone through so much recently, Zhao Yuefei had no choice but to reveal her own sharp edges! If things kept going like this, faced with increasingly tough opponents, she would only be amb to the ughter!

    Without waiting for Qin Jiang to speak, she already sat down in his car, "Lead the way!"

    Qin Jiang had no choice but to get in the car and floored the elerator, heading straight for the address sent by Zhang Haosheng...

    Meanwhile!

    In the unfinished building.

    As a bucket of ice water poured over her head, Xu Muge slowly woke up!

    She opened her bleary eyes and saw several masked men standing in front of her, their eyes indifferent and brimming with murderous intent.

    "Who... who are you?"

    She felt fear in her heart. She had left early that morning to meet with Qin Jiang, but just as she left the building to get into her car, someone had knocked her out with some sort of drug from behind!

    When she regained consciousness, she found herself here...

    Looking at the menacing men in front of her, her eyes were filled with terror.

    "Hahaha! Xu Muge, even you have days like this?" A voice filled with spite came through, and then a woman walked out from around the corner.

    "Luo Shifei!?" Seeing Luo Shifei, Xu Muge''s eyes filled with even more horror.

    After all, this woman was a madwoman!

    With a sinister smile, Luo Shifei stepped towards her, "Xu Muge, tell me... how should I dispose of you? If something were to happen to you, that guy Qin Jiang would probably want to die, right? It''s really something to look forward to!"

 Chapter 141 Qin Jiang is Here!

    Luo Shifei''s face was filled with ferocity and rage.

    Qin Jiang, he ruined her!

    Now, her appearance was disfigured, something so unwanted that even trash bins would recoil. Moreover, just yesterday, the Luo Family had announced bankruptcy, with all assets confiscated.

    She couldn''t muster up a few thousand yuan now.

    Suddenly, she fell from a wealthy daughter to a stray dog that everyone wanted to beat!

    This fall from heaven to hellpletely broke her...

    Now, even if she died, she would drag Qin Jiang and Xu Muge, that despicable couple, down with her!

    Xu Muge was her first target for revenge.

    These assassins were only here because she sold her own bracelet to hire them. She staked everything she had to destroy these two!

    Thinking of this, the maliciousness in her eyes intensified.

    She crouched down in front of Xu Muge.

    Peeling off her veil, a distorted and ugly face was revealed to Xu Muge.

    "You¡ª"

    Xu Muge was taken aback. When had this woman be like this?

    "I ended up like this, all thanks to Qin Jiang!"

    "Xu Muge... I will let you thoroughly re-experience the pain from three years ago!"

    A dagger appeared in her hand.

    Xu Muge shivered all over!

    The torture she had endured over these three years had shadowed her for a lifetime.

    She didn''t want to live like that anymore!

    She struggled fiercely, standing up from the ground, attempting to escape!

    "Trying to leave?!"

    A man kicked her, toppling her to the ground!

    Xu Muge screamed, her body in agony as if it had fallen apart!

    "Run? Where can you run to?"

    Luo Shifei sneered, "I''ve turned off your phone. No one can track your location!"

    "Oh, and these assassins, so strong and able, I''m sure they can satisfy you! After that, I''ll take some photos to show Qin Jiang¡ªlet him have a good look!"

    "Hahaha, I can almost see his face writhing in agony... truly something to look forward to!"

    Luo Shifei stepped closer to her.

    The de in her hand glinted with a chilling light.

    "Save me, save me..." Xu Muge yelled desperately, seeking ast glimmer of hope!

    Below, a car raced up like lightning!

    It stopped at the bottom.

    Qin Jiang, hearing Xu Muge''s cries for help, trembled deeply!

    Immediately after, he kicked open the car door and bolted up like a sh of lightning!

    "Qin Jiang!"

    Zhao Yuefei had just stepped out of the car when she flung off her high-heeled shoes, pulled out a handgun from her embrace, and rushed upstairs with a stern face!

    "Xu Muge, stop shouting. No one ising to save you, just ept your punishment quietly."

    The tip of Luo Shifei''s knife had touched her delicate skin!

    Ratatat!

    Right at that moment, a series of exceedingly rapid footsteps came from below!

    In the blink of an eye, a figure with an aura of overwhelming killing intent appeared at the corner of the dpidated building!

    "Qin Jiang!"

    Seeing the neer, Luo Shifei trembled, "How could this guy find this ce?!"

    Her face twisted, "Kill him for me!"

    As her words fell, the assassins promptly drew their guns from their holsters!

    "Luo Shifei, you''re asking for death!"

    Qin Jiang clenched his fists, and the moment his killing intent exploded, he charged toward Xu Muge.

    The hitmen, expressionless, fired almost simultaneously at the path Qin Jiang was taking.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    A series of gunshots erupted...

    Yet, Qin Jiang appeared unscathed in front of Luo Shifei like a specter!

 Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Life and Death Crisis

    "Dare to touch Muge, and you''re asking for death!"

    Qin Jiang''s towering killing intent, apanied by rolling anger, brought a look of fear into Luo Shifei''s eyes!

    She fiercely bit her teeth and raised her dagger to stab at Xu Muge!

    Even if it meant death...

    She was determined to take Xu Muge down with her today.

    Her face was filled with madness!

    However... before her dagger could reach Xu Muge, Qin Jiang had already kicked the dagger out of her hand!

    "Ah!"

    Luo Shifei''s wrist bone was directly broken by Qin Jiang''s kick, causing her to break out in cold sweat from the pain.

    "Fire! Fire now!"

    He bellowed enraged.

    The assassins, with cold eyes, aimed their guns straight at Qin Jiang.

    They had a keen intuition that this person in front of them was extremely dangerous.

    He had to be dealt with immediately!

    Seeing those guns aimed at him, Qin Jiang''s eyes showed a hint of seriousness, and without a moment''s thought, he scooped Xu Muge off the ground!

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

    The sound of gunfire rang out.

    Several holes appeared in the ground.

    But Qin Jiang moved as fast as lightning, dodging all the bullets.

    Qin Jiang knew, although he could easily dodge the bullets, Xu Muge was just a mortal, not fast, and her defense was only at the level of an ordinary person.

    Therefore, he had to protect Xu Muge.

    She must not be exposed to danger!

    Xu Muge clung tightly to Qin Jiang, her heart pounding, her delicate body trembling uncontrobly.

    And in that moment, Luo Shifei roared madly, her eyes filled with the intent to kill, "Kill them!"

    The assassins did not hesitate at all, continuing to shoot.

    Bullets whistled out...

    The sound of gunfire was unceasing!

    Qin Jiang, fast as thunder, rolled with Xu Muge into cover behind a barrier.

    "That kid is not bad, but with that woman to hold him back, we can strike at her. We absolutely can''t let them get away."

    Having said that, they approached the barrier.

    The cover in front of Qin Jiang was a wall, but it could be breached from both sides.

    How could Xu Muge have ever been through such an ordeal?

    Her lips trembled, "Qin Jiang, you run! Don''t worry about me! They have guns..."

    She didn''t understand martial arts, and she didn''t know how strong Qin Jiang was, but she was certain that a person couldn''t withstand gunfire!

    Moreover, Qin Jiang was burdened with her, a dead weight.

    How could he possibly deal with these professional killers armed with guns?

    "Split up! Let''s see how long this little mouse can hide!"

    An assassin sneered with a bloodthirsty grin.

    No matter how formidable Qin Jiang was, could he watch both sides?

    As long as they split up and closed in, Qin Jiang would surely be overwhelmed.

    After these words fell, the assassins split into two groups, each approaching from the ends of the wall!

    Clear footsteps came closer, making Xu Muge''s heart pound wildly.

    Qin Jiang''s face was also quite pale at this moment.

    In the current situation, the slightest mistake could easily endanger Xu Muge''s life!

    Luo Shifei, clutching her bleeding arm, sneered repeatedly, "Qin Jiang, juste out and die. You''re on a dead-end street anyway; why resist at the brink of death?"

    As soon as her words ended, a figure burst out from behind the wall!

    In an instant, everyone''s attention was drawn to Qin Jiang.

    "Shoot him dead!"

    Bullets swept out in a continuous barrage.

    The ground around Qin Jiang was peppered with holes!

    Needles flew from his hands.

    "Swish!"

    An assassin screamed and fell backward!

    "Die!"

    Qin Jiang''s killing intent surged, taking advantage of their momentary stun to charge forward, breaking another man''s neck!

    In the blink of an eye, two assassins fell.

    At the same time, four or five guns were already aimed at him, as they all pulled their triggers!

 Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Sudden Change!

    In that instant when Qin Jiang''s body paused, several experienced assassins had already locked onto his position.

    Without any hesitation, they pressed their triggers!

    The pressure Qin Jiang exerted on them was too strong!

    Therefore, they had to take down Qin Jiang, otherwise this guy would threaten their own lives.

    Qin Jiang promptly used the body of an already deceased assassin in front of him as a shield against the bullets.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    In the blink of an eye, the body in front of him had turned into a sieve from the gunfire.

    The assassins'' eyes went cold.

    In the next instant, one of the assassins threw a hand grenade directly!

    The hand grenade rolled to Qin Jiang''s feet, spewing thick smoke.

    All of a sudden, goosebumps ran down Qin Jiang''s scalp as he leaped out!

    The deafening explosion resonated, and the entire building shook with it!

    A chill ran down Qin Jiang''s spine; he hadn''t expected these guys to have such terrifying things in their possession.

    Although he was powerful, there was still a gap between the power of bullets and hand grenades.

    Even he would probably struggle to endure the force of a hand grenade exploding at close range!

    As Qin Jiang rolled on the ground, the assassins continued to shoot at him with expressionless faces!

    Bullets whizzed out continuously from the muzzles.

    They switched through several guns in session.

    Several times, Qin Jiang narrowly avoided the bullets, almost getting hit!

    Xu Muge was trembling all over, filled with worry.

    What would happen if something happened to Qin Jiang?

    But she knew that right now, she could only hide behind and not go out.

    Otherwise, once she went out and caught their attention, it would only distract Qin Jiang even more!

    Watching the embarrassed figure of Qin Jiang, Luo Shifeiughed viciously, her eyes brimming with satisfaction!

    This guy had made her suffer so much; she absolutely couldn''t let Qin Jiang escape this disaster!

    "Hmph! One of you go and take down that woman, Xu Muge! If you kill that woman, he will definitely be in utter disarray!" Luo Shifei''s voice also reminded the assassins.

    One of the assassins immediately ran towards the wall where Xu Muge was hiding.

    Qin Jiang panicked upon seeing this!

    At this moment, he was a bit far from Xu Muge; even if he wanted to get to her, he had to dodge the assassins'' bullets!

    And the assassins had already deadlocked the path between them.

    Ratatat!

    The sound of footsteps was closing in.

    Xu Muge''s heart pounded wildly, and with gritted teeth, she took the hairpin off from behind her head!

    By the ear, she quietly moved close to the wall, concealing her body behind it, gripping the hairpin tightly.

    Suddenly, a figure appeared in her field of vision!

    A dark-looking gun barrel was pointed at her.

    For a moment, she felt as though she had fallen into hell itself!

    "Muge!!!"

    Qin Jiang roared, his heart seizing up!

    The assassin grinned, "Littledy, goodbye!"

    Did this woman really think he would be so foolish as toe close to the wall?

    What he had was a long-range weapon.

    Why would hee close to her?

    As a professional assassin, he would not make such a rookie mistake!

    "Bang!"

    A gunshot sounded.

    Instantly, Qin Jiang''s heart convulsed violently.

    However, the next moment, he froze because the assassin fell straight down, his head bursting into a bloody mess!

    This scene left everyone speechless.

    What happened?

    Just then, they looked towards the stairwell, where a woman with a gun in her shaky hands stared intently at the fallen figure...

    "Yufei?!" Seeing Zhao Yuefei, Xu Muge''s heart trembled!

    "Damn it!"

    The assassins were furious, having severalrades killed right before their eyes, a humiliation!

    And this woman, when did she appear?

    "Kill them all, don''t leave a single one alive!" the leading assassin roared.

 Chapter 144 Ill Take You Down with Me!

    A headshot!

    Yufei''s hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.

    This was her first time killing someone.

    Seeing the bloody scene before her, her stomach churned violently, but soon her expression became calm.

    Ever since herst brush with death, her mentality had changed.

    She could not remain weak forever.

    She had to be able to defend herself!

    After all, one can''t always rely on those around them!

    So, after work, she had been practicing her marksmanship for half a month straight.

    She never thought her first time using a gun would be in such a situation.

    "Muge, take cover!"

    Yufei shouted and then hid herself as well.

    Xu Muge''s pupils shook violently, and he nodded gratefully at Yufei.

    Meanwhile, the other assassins on the field were furious when they saw this!

    They hadn''t expected there to be another person behind them.

    "Damn it!"

    Now, they were caught in a crossfire, and the situation was grim.

    What should they do?

    Although Qin Jiang was unarmed, he posed no lesser threat, and Yufei, with a pistol, asionally fired a shot, which was enough to give them a hard time.

    Thinking this, their faces darkened.

    Taking advantage of their momentary distraction, Qin Jiang''s eyes turned cold!

    "Swish¡ª¡ª"

    A few streaks of cold light shot out!

    In the blink of an eye, two assassins'' heads were prated.

    They fell on the spot.

    Qin Yan''s terrifyingbat power made their scalps tingle!

    The remaining two assassins'' eyes zed with fury as theirpanions were nearly wiped out!

    This kid...

    However, they also realized the danger.

    Qin Jiang was too unnerving!

    If they continued to entangle with him here, they might all fall.

    With that in mind, one of the men shouted, "Retreat!"

    While shooting at Qin Jiang, the two men retreated madly.

    Yufei watched the two men approaching and felt a surge of panic, her hand holding the pistol sweating.

    She wanted to pop up and shoot at them.

    But...

    But as soon as she popped her head out, she heard the whizzing of a bullet!

    Startled, she quickly pulled back.

    "You little girl, dare to show your head?"

    "Today, I''ll kill you first to appease the heavens!"

    His eyes revealed a ruthless color as he fired several shots in Yufei''s direction.

    The bullets hit the wall of the stairway in front of Yufei, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

    Now, there was only one man in front of Qin Jiang.

    Seizing the opportunity, he rolled up from the ground and charged like lightning towards the man!

    "You¡ª¡ª"

    The man''s eyes narrowed, firing two shots at Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang''s figure flickered, appearing at his side, "Die!"

    As these words fell, the man''s throat waspletely crushed, his eyes wide open in death!

    Hearing themotion behind him, thest remaining manpletely lost his mind.

    "Even if I die, I''m taking one of you with me!"

    He pulled the pin on the only grenade he had on him and then, with blood-red eyes, he rushed towards the staircase!

    "Go to hell!"

    With a gun in one hand and the grenade tightly in the other, he aimed at Yufei.

    Qin Jiang pounced, locking onto his throat and killing him!

    Before dying, the man turned back, giving Qin Jiang an icy smile, and then his hand loosened from the grenade...

    The grenade rolled towards Yufei''s position...

    Looking at the smoking grenade before her, Yufei''s whole body trembled with fear!

    "Yufei¡ª¡ª"

    Xu Muge shouted aloud.

    Yufei also retreated frantically!

    But she was still within the st range of the grenade.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    The grenade exploded on the spot!

    Bursts of fire and a wave of heat rolled out, shrapnel flying in all directions...

    Yufei looked on in horror, her pupils contracting!

    This time she was done for...

    At the critical moment, a figure suddenly leaped towards her...

 Chapter 145 Lets Hit the Road!

    Qin Jiang''s body was like a bolt of lightning, throwing Zhao Yuefei forcefully to the ground!

    Behind them, mes apanied by the fragmentation of hand grenades exploded, bearing an earth-shattering force.

    The entire abandoned unfinished building shook violently!

    "Qin Jiang!"

    "Yufei!"

    Having recovered, Xu Muge immediately rushed over, anxiously navigating through the dust.

    On the ground, Qin Jiangy there, his back a blurred mass of blood and flesh, horrifying to see.

    He coughed up blood from his mouth, which was frightening.

    And Zhao Yuefei was tightly protected beneath him.

    "Qin Jiang, Qin Jiang..."

    She shouted anxiously.

    Qin Jiang struggled to say, "I''m okay..."

    He had used all his strength to protect some vital areas and pooled his energy into his back to withstand the powerful strike, but he was nheless seriously injured.

    Xu Muge, frantic with worry, hurriedly went to help Qin Jiang up.

    Qin Jiang felt a sharp pain in his back and his consciousness blurred before he passed out.

    Xu Muge took a deep breath, "Yufei, we need to get Qin Jiang to the hospital immediately!"

    Zhao Yuefei''s voice, however, suddenly became incredibly cold, her eyes bursting with deadly intent.

    "There''s still something most important that needs to be dealt with..."

    After speaking, she picked up a handgun from the ground and walked upstairs.

    Meanwhile.

    Luo Shifei watched the exploded stairwell entrance, her fists clenched, extremely tense!

    Had those two damned people died?

    Suddenly, her eyes fiercely trembled!

    Because she saw Zhao Yuefeiing up from the stairwell entrance.

    In her hand, she held a gun.

    Filled with murderous intent.

    The moment Luo Shifei locked eyes with Zhao Yuefei, she felt a chill throughout her body, not even daring to breathe heavily!

    "You, you¡ª" Her body trembling, she kept retreating backward.

    "Mrs. Zhao, killing is illegal, Mrs. Zhao, as such a prominent CEO with assets over a billion, you absolutely can''t get blood on your hands, it''s not worth it for an ordinary person like me to jeopardize yourself..."

    Zhao Yuefei''s handgun was aimed at her, and even in her usually cold eyes, a hint of chill emerged.

    "Today, you must die."

    This woman was a disaster; if she wasn''t eliminated today, what would happen if she attacked Qin Jiang and Xu Muge again in the future?

    Today, Xu Muge almost fell victim.

    And because of it, Qin Jiang was severely wounded.

    Feeling the coldness in her eyes, Luo Shifei trembled all over, feeling as though death was enveloping her.

    She kept moving backward.

    "Bang!"

    Zhao Yuefei fired a shot.

    Instantly, a mist of blood burst from Luo Shifei''s leg as she let out an agonizing scream and fell to her knees!

    She was in so much pain that her face twisted.

    "Off you go." Luo Shifei was steadily advancing, then fired a shot into her chest; a mist of blood exploded, and Luo Shifei''s body fell backward, copsing at the edge of the unfinished building and tumbling straight down from the third floor...

    Zhao Yuefei followed to look, gazing down to see Luo Shifei''s body motionless on the ground...

    She sighed in relief and quickly returned to join Xu Muge, working together to get Qin Jiang into the car. Once in the car, Zhao Yuefei immediately made a phone call, instructing her trustworthy people toe clean up the area.

    After what happenedst time, she had started recruiting some people to deal with matters that needed to be kept in the shadows.

    After all, the higher she climbed, she realized the cruel truth of this world was terrifying, a world where if you had no ability, you would just be prey for others!

    And she, she refused to be anyone''s stepping stone.

    The car flew like a whirlwind towards the hospital.

    The two people in the car, anxious as could be, looked at Qin Jiang who had passed out, their faces etched with worry.

    Zhao Yuefei was still able to maintain someposure, pushing the car to its top speed, speeding all the way...

    At the same time, outside the abandoned construction site, a figure slowly walked over...

 Chapter 146 One Billion

    The mysterious man nced indifferently at Luo Shifei lying on the ground and said lightly, "Seems like there''s still a breath in you... You''re lucky. From now on, you''ll be a chess piece in my hand..."

    After saying that, he directly picked up Luo Shifei and disappeared in an instant.

    Inside the hospital.

    In a ward.

    Qin Jiang slowly opened his eyes, feeling a surge of pain in his back.

    "Qin Jiang!"

    "Qin Jiang!"

    Seeing Qin Jiang wake up, joy appeared on the faces of the two women.

    Xu Muge tightly grasped his hand, tears filling her eyes. It was to save her that Qin Jiang had sustained such serious injuries.

    Zhao Yuefei wanted to offer some words offort, but seeing the deep affection between the two, she didn''t want to interrupt. Remembering the way Qin Jiang had unhesitatingly thrown himself over her to protect her, Zhao Yuefei felt a pang of sorrow in her heart...

    Qin Jiang struggled to sit up.

    "This is... the hospital?"

    Xu Muge said, "After dealing with them, Yufei and I immediately brought you to the hospital."

    "It''s been three hours now."

    Qin Jiang clenched his teeth, "Those people, are they all taken care of?"

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "I''ve already taken care of the menace Luo Shifei, don''t worry. I''ve also sent people to clean up the scene, so there''s no need for you to worry too much."

    At that, Qin Jiang slowly nodded, "Mrs. Zhao, you''re bing more and more decisive."

    Zhao Yuefei huffed softly, "Isn''t that a good thing?"

    "Indeed, it''s a good thing," Qin Jiang sighed. In this world, only by arming oneself can one avoid more harm. Zhao Yuefei''s actions represented growth.

    Xu Muge looked at Qin Jiang with concern, "The injuries on your back are quite severe, don''t move around too much."

    "It''s my fault for not being more careful when I went out, otherwise I wouldn''t have dragged you two into this..."

    Qin Jiang shook his head, "This has nothing to do with you."

    "The Luo Family went bankrupt overnight, and all their assets turned to ash."

    "Moreover, I disfigured Luo Shifei."

    "She must havepletely lost hope in humanity, that''s why she would do something so crazy."

    "I''m the one who has dragged you down."

    "And you, Yufei, you''re really loyal. Without a second word, you charged in with a weapon in hand!"

    At that, Zhao Yuefei''s typically cold face flushed with an unusual hint of redness.

    "Muge is like a sister to me. When she''s in danger, of course I''ll charge in. If it were you, I wouldn''t bother at all."

    She casually ced a peeled apple in Qin Jiang''s hand.

    "Considering you were willing to risk your life to save me and took a grenade for me, I''m rewarding you with this."

    Qin Jiang chuckled and reached out to take the apple.

    However, when Qin Jiang''s hand identally touched her delicate softness, it gave her an electric shock-like feeling, and she quickly withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes no longer calm.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Now that the trouble in our hearts, Luo Shifei, is solved, there probably won''t be anyone else who dares to do something so crazy."

    "Muge, you can focus on your career now with peace of mind."

    Xu Muge nodded and asked, "Qin Jiang, how did your gamble go today?"

    Qin Jiang replied with a faint smile, "It was a resounding victory!"

    Xu Muge was astonished, "Weren''t they saying that the Rong Family had hired the God of Gamblers from Fragrant City?"

    Qin Jiang smiled, "Even the God of Gamblers has times when he loses."

    He directly took out a bank card, "Here''s the money I won from the Rong Family today. If you use it, it should be enough to get yourpany up and running."

    Xu Muge''s heart quivered, "How much money is on this card?"

    "Ten billion!" Zhao Yuefei''s tone also carried a trace of envy, "The Zhao Corporation has been working in Jiangcheng for twenty years and is only worth a few tens of billions."

    "I can''t believe someone could earn ten billion just by gambling."

    "It''s enough to drive one madparing oneself to others."

    Xu Muge was shocked, "Ten billion?"

    "I can''t take this money, it''s too much!" She directly pushed the card back into Qin Jiang''s hand.

    Just then, Zhao Yuefei''s phone began to ring.

    Hearing the sound, Zhao Yuefei quickly answered the call and asked, "How''s the situation been handled?"

    A man''s deep voice came through from the other end.

    "Mrs. Zhao, the scene has been cleaned up, but there''s been a bit of a problem..."

    "What problem?"

    "Luo Shifei, she''s gone."

 Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Difficulties Galore!

    "What?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuefei''s eyes trembled slightly. Luo Shifei isn''t dead?

    Logically speaking, that bullet hit Luo Shifei''s chest squarely; she couldn''t possibly have survived!

    Moreover, she was wounded in the leg, too.

    How could it be possible for her to leave the scene?

    Her gaze turned cold, "Find her for me!"

    The man nodded, "Understood, Mrs. Zhao."

    "By the way, next to that pool of blood downstairs, we found a footprint,"

    "A man''s footprint."

    "It''s very likely that this mysterious man, after you all left, took Luo Shifei away."

    Zhao Ruge said coldly, "No matter who it is, I don''t want to see any idents."

    "Mrs. Zhao, we''ll handle it well."

    Zhao Yuefei hung up the phone with a grim expression.

    Qin Jiang furrowed his brows, "Luo Shifei, taken away by someone?"

    "Yes," Zhao Yuefei replied with some regret. "It''s all my fault. I was too hasty and didn''t go up to fire a second shot."

    Xu Muge consoled her, "Yufei, don''t me yourself. You were also in a hurry to get Qin Jiang to the hospital."

    Zhao Yuefei said coldly, "I just fear that someone will take this matter and use it against me; that would be bad."

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Then let''s root them out first!"

    "My people are on it, and I estimate we''ll have results soon."

    Qin Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Luo Shifei has nowpletely lost her mind. If she really isn''t dead after being driven to a corner, she will undoubtedly be a ticking time bomb."

    "However, we don''t have other options now. We can only quietly wait for news."

    "Muge, take this money. It''s not easy to start apany. Besides, I think it will still be somewhat difficult to develop these two medical prescriptions."

    Xu Muge shook her head, "Qin Jiang, I understand your intention, but if you pave the way for everything, I feel so incapable, so useless."

    "I want to try... relying on myself."

    A determined look shed across her eyes, "Can you let me strike out on my own for a while?"

    Qin Jiang smiled slightly, "Sure! Whatever decision you make, I support you."

    Zhao Yuefei sighed, "Ah, the two of you being affectionate here, and I feel like an outsider. Even a single dog like me is getting jealous."

    "I''ll go out for a bit."

    "You two catch up."

    Zhao Yuefei''s teasing voice left Xu Muge blushing.

    Qin Jiang chuckled, "You realize you''re a fifth wheel?"

    Zhao Yuefei red at him fiercely, with a trace of sorrow in her eyes, and then turned to leave the hospital room...

    Before long, two days had passed.

    Over these two days,

    Qin Jiang''s injuries had almostpletely healed.

    The cultivation technique he practiced already possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities. Plus, after merging with a drop of dragon blood, his healing abilities became even more formidable.

    Unfortunately, there had been no news about Luo Shifei during this time.

    It was still unknown whether she was dead or alive at this point.

    Qin Jiang changed out of his hospital gown.

    He prepared to tidy up and be discharged from the hospital.

    Xu Muge arrived and quickly helped him pack his things.

    "It''s only been two days. Are you sure you''re okay?" Xu Muge still looked worried.

    "No problem, I''m as strong as a dragon and fierce as a tiger now," Qin Jiang said with a smile. "This little injury is nothing."

    Zhao Yuefei also walked in and said yfully, "Recovered so fast? Seems like you''re in good shape."

    Qin Jiang said calmly, "Of course, otherwise how could I dare to block a grenade for Mrs. Zhao?"

    Zhao Yuefei''s face turned red, "Fine! I''ll promote you and raise your sry when we get back. Is that good enough?"

    Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I need that little bit of money? How much did I earn just a few days ago..."

    Zhao Yuefei gnashed her teeth, not wanting to see his smug face any longer, and turned her head away.

    "Muge, how have you been managing the loan these two days?"

    Upon hearing that, Xu Muge gave a wry smile, "Not so well. The other party wouldn''t even give me the time of day. The amount I want to borrow is toorge, and the bank thinks it''s too risky, so theypletely ignored me."

    "So, we might need to talk in person."

    Qin Jiang asked, "How much are you nning to borrow?"

    "A billion," Xu Muge said with a bitter smile. "But I don''t have any assets to serve as coteral."

    Zhao Yuefei nodded, "That is indeed difficult. What about the paperwork? Did you get it?"

 Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Industrial Bank

    "No, not really," Xu Muge said indifferently, "This falls under the jurisdiction of the Medical Department. The qualification review is very strict these days, and it''s likely to take some effort."

    Zhao Yuefei nodded, "Indeed, the government is exercising strict control over this matter. Acquiring the qualification certainly requires some thought."

    "And..." Xu Muge sighed softly, "I''ve heard that someone is deliberately making things difficult for me behind the scenes."

    "Who?" Zhao Yuefei''s eyes narrowed slightly.

    Xu Muge shook her head, "I''m not sure, but I was warned that the person behind this is very influential. They even said... as long as I agree to meet with them, I could easily obtain both the loan and the qualification."

    Qin Jiang''s eyes grew cold, "It seems this person has quite the background to possess such abilities. I''m curious to see who has such gall to threaten my woman."

    Zhao Yuefei looked thoughtful and heavy-hearted.

    Qin Jiang asked, "Who told you this? Who asked you to meet with them?"

    Xu Muge bit her red lips, "The General Manager of Industrial Bank in Jiangcheng, Mo Hao."

    Upon hearing this, Qin Yan''s heart trembled slightly, but he quickly scoffed, "Let''s go! We''re leaving the hospital. I want to see just how capable this guy is to dare make such statements."

    Without a doubt, the person giving Xu Muge a hard time was up to no good, and clearly, the messenger was the other party''sckey.

    Industrial Bank had the strongest influence among all the banks in Jiangcheng, and naturally, mostrge loans were taken from Industrial Bank. As such, the staff there did indeed know many influential people.

    However, thinking they could make trouble for Qin Jiang''s woman just because they knew a few wealthy individuals was a grave mistake.

    Xu Muge shook her head, "Let it be... Don''t sh with them head-on. Right now, I''m just thinking of how to bypass this obstacle and secure the loan. I don''t want to start a conflict with them."

    Qin Jiangughed softly, "How impressive can an ountant be? The bank has so much money, but what does that have to do with him? Absolutely nothing."

    "So, you don''t need to be afraid of him. I''ve got your back."

    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely follow procedure and won''t do anything reckless."

    Seeing Qin Jiang so determined, Xu Muge could only nod in agreement.

    An hourter, outside the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Qin Jiang''s car stopped there.

    Shortly afterward, Xu Muge also got out.

    "Let''s go in!" Qin Jiang said, pulling Xu Muge, and with a slight smile, he led her inside.

    Xu Muge felt uneasy, but having Qin Jiang by her side gave her much reassurance, and she mustered the courage to walk into the Industrial Bank with him.

    "Sir, what service do you require?"

    At the entrance, a young woman bowed, her face full of respect.

    Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "A loan!"

    "A loan?" The staff member was taken aback, "May I ask if you want a mortgage loan or a qualification loan? And what amount?"

    "One billion!" Qin Jiang said ndly, "Industrial Bank should have that much money, right?"

    At these words, the employee was slightly taken aback.

    Suddenly, a sneeringugh came, "A one billion loan? Of course my Industrial Bank has it! But... Qin Jiang, do you have the qualifications to borrow so much money?"

    The voice of mockery approached, and a woman dressed in a tailored ck suit emerged.

    Her gazended on Qin Jiang, yful and inquisitive.

    "Qin Jiang, I heard you were recently released from prison. Haven''t you been locked up so long that your brain has gone bad? You think you can just im to borrow a billion as if the bank is your own house?"

    Qin Jiang nced at the neer, "And who are you?"

    "Manager!" Seeing Li Ya, the employee immediately showed a respectful demeanor.

    The woman, seeing that Qin Jiang apparently didn''t recognize her, spoke a bit angrily, "Li Ya!"

    "Oh, a high school ssmate, the one who chased after me and whom I rejected before saying I wouldn''t make it, right? Sorry, I didn''t recognize you at first," Qin Jiang said indifferently, pulling out a property deed, "This should be more than enough coteral, shouldn''t it?"

 Chapter 149 Destroy the Property Deed!

    A property deed appeared in his hand.

    It was the vi deed for Tianlong Garden, worth a considerable sum.

    However, Li Ya merely nced indifferently at the property deed in his hand before she directly pped it to the ground!

    "Qin Jiang, are you joking with me?"

    Li Ya scorned with a smile, "Holding a lousy property deed, trying to show off here?"

    "A billion?"

    "Just with your shabby house?"

    "Isn''t it leaking and drafty? Worth a hundred thousand, maybe? Daring to spout such nonsense about getting a loan of a billion here! If your brain is sick, go to a mental hospital!"

    In her words, mockery was evident.

    Qin Jiang, this ex-con from abor camp, also worthy of applying for a loan here? What qualifications did he have? And, like a fool, asking to borrow ten billion...

    It wasughable.

    Qin Jiang spoke coolly, "You''d better take a good look at where this property deed is from! If you damage it, you can''t afford topensate."

    "Oh!" Li Ya scoffed with disdain, "This? Scare me? How much can it be worth!"

    With that, she stepped disdainfully on the property deed a few times.

    Ruthlessly trampling it!

    "You¡ª" Xu Muge burst out in anger, "What are you doing!"

    Li Yaughed coldly, "Xu Muge, huh? I remember you too. I didn''t expect you''d be willing to be with this pauper! It''s quite a match now, isn''t it? A down-and-out daughter of a wealthy family and a dead broke guy, having the audacity toe here and ask for a loan of a billion?"

    The reason she targeted Qin Jiang so much was that during high school, she had confessed to Qin Jiang.

    Only to be rejected by him.

    Back then, she was insecure and sensitive, and had always kept this incident in her heart.

    But now, yearster, while she had seeded in her career, Qin Jiang had turned into a jobless drifter who couldn''t even find work after three years in prison!

    The disparity in their status was stark.

    How could she miss this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Qin Jiang and resolve the resentment from those years?

    Qin Jiang spoke coldly, "Out of respect for an old ssmate, I''ll give you onest chance. Pick up the property deed, clean it up for me, and I''ll let bygones be bygones."

    Upon hearing that, Li Ya scorned, "I, olddy, can afford it!"

    Having said that, she applied even more pressure with her foot!

    Xu Muge became infuriated in an instant and stepped forward to push her away!

    Thump thump thump!

    Li Ya nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

    She flew into a rage, "Security, get over here, throw them out for me!"

    As these words were spoken, several bank security guards came forward, surrounding Qin Jiang and hispanion.

    "Sir, madam, please leave this ce! The bank is not somewhere you can act recklessly!"

    Qin Jiangughed furiously, "Is it not...you who were impolite to us first? We are customers. Is this how your bank treats its customers?"

    Hearing this, Li Ya sneered with disdain, "You''re talking this nonsense on my turf? Are you out of your mind? I''m the supervisor here! With an annual sry of three hundred thousand! And I have top-notch business skills, highly valued by my superiors!"

    "You, an ex-convict, talking to me like this?"

    "Today, I want you guys to roll out of here! And you will instantly roll out! Do you see reality clearly now?"

    Having said that, she waved her hand with contempt, "Please show them out. Also, throw this raggedy property deed out; it''s an eyesore."

    Qin Jiang became angry as well,ughing coldly, "I''m afraid you can''t bear the consequences."

    "You should take a piss and look in the mirror," Li Ya shook her head, "You, of all people, don''t scare me."

    Just then, a middle-aged man walked out, "Li Ya, what''s the matter? Why are you making a scene with the customers?"

    Li Ya snickered, "Some stinky diaosi came in with a torn-up property deed, wanting to take out a loan of a billion. Manager, don''t you think they''re just looking for trouble?"

 Chapter 150 Backbone or Work?

    Upon hearing this, Manager Wang also slowly turned his head, looking at Qin Jiang with an icy stare.

    "How much is this property deed worth? To think of mortgaging it to borrow a hundred million from our bank is quite a bit of a lion''s mouth, isn''t it? As far as I know, there aren''t many properties valued at a hundred million on the market nowadays, are there?"

    "Sir, you don''t look like someone who could afford such a house. I mean no offense, merely raising a doubt."

    Manager Wang looked at Qin Jiang with a hint of scorn.

    "Just now she stepped on my property deed without even looking," Qin Jiang said coldly, "I suggest you take a look before making a decision."

    Manager Wang had wanted to kick Qin Jiang out, but the calm in Qin Jiang''s eyes made him hesitate for a moment.

    "Fine! You''d better not be fooling me, or else the consequences will be severe."

    After saying this, he picked up the property deed from the ground.

    Upon opening it, his eyes immediately widened in shock!

    In an instant, cold sweat poured down.

    Li Ya was still sneering, "Manager Wang, look, this guy is just bluffing and ying us, right? Security! Why don''t youe and chase him¡ª"

    Before she could finish her sentence, Manager Wang pped her across the face, "You blind thing, you''re such an idiot to treat a customer of our bank like this!"

    Li Ya was stupefied by the p, unable to understand why Manager Wang''s attitude had so drastically changed. She urgently said, "Manager Wang, please look closely, this property deed can''t be worth much, don''t let yourself be deceived!"

    Manager Wang roared, "Open your damned eyes and see where this property deed is from!"

    "Tian... Tianlong Garden?!" Li Ya finally saw the words and was momentarily stunned, "What ce is this?"

    She didn''t recognize it at all!

    Manager Wang red at her fiercely and enunciated every word, "This is the most upscale residential area in all of Jiangcheng! Even our bank president might not qualify to live there!"

    "Everyone there holds great power and influence; it''s not a ce you can enter just because you have money! Do you understand? And this, this is the deed for number one Tianlong Garden, not to mention a loan of a hundred million, it wouldn''t be a problem to double that!"

    Manager Wang, after all, was someone with some insight, so he had a certain understanding of Tianlong Garden.

    Li Ya waspletely dumbfounded. How could Qin Jiang have such an impressive item?

    "Qin Jiang! Did you steal this thing?" she asked with a chilly voice.

    "p!"

    Manager Wang pped her again.

    "Have you gone mad? A property deed needs to be transferred, and once checked it will reveal who the owner is, who would use this to get a bank loan! Do you want to end up in prison?"

    Qin Jiang gave a faint, cold smile, "Li Ya, you stepped on this property deed, making it somewhat dirty. I don''t like that."

    Li Ya''s face turned ashen, immediately understanding Qin Jiang''s implication.

    Manager Wang barked, "What are you standing around for? Clean it up for our honored guest, quickly!"

    "I..." Tears almost fell from Li Ya''s eyes in distress.

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "Just cleaning it is not enough, an apology shoulde with an apologetic gesture."

    Just now Li Ya had repeatedly humiliated and provoked him, how could Qin Jiang let it go without retaliating?

    "Qin Jiang! We were once ssmates, do you really have to be so ruthless?" Li Ya said through clenched teeth.

    "It was you who started being ruthless," Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "Get on your knees, clean it and bring it to me. Today, I might give you a chance."

    Before Li Ya could respond, Manager Wang kicked her behind the knees. With a thud, she fell to her knees in front of Qin Jiang, lifting her humiliated head to look up at Qin Jiang''s indifferent face.

    Manager Wang said coldly, "Choose, your pride or your job?"

    Qin Jiang was an important client, how could they neglect him? Today, Li Ya had to satisfy Qin Jiang!

 Chapter 151 Repeatedly Dancing on the Edge of Disaster!

    "Sorry, I''ll clean it for you immediately."

    Eventually, Li Ya bowed her head and used her work uniform to wipe the property deed clean before returning it to Qin Jiang.

    "Get lost! Don''t try to unt your presence in front of me again!" Qin Jiang said coldly.

    He wanted to trample on this kind of woman, and now, he was merely returning the favor.

    "Thank you! Thank you!"

    Li Ya nodded repeatedly, scurrying away with a mix of rolling and crawling, admittedly humiliated but her job was saved. She had worked at the bank for many years, and it was not easy to get to a supervisory position.

    If she were really fired, all her years of hard work would have been in vain.

    Trembling, Manager Wang stepped forward and asked respectfully, "May I ask what service you require, esteemed guest?"

    Qin Yan offered a faint smile, "I''m here to see your general manager, Mo Hao."

    He was curious to see just how arrogant this man could be.

    At this, Manager Wang felt a bit disappointed but could only say, "Esteemed guest, this way, please!"

    They led Qin Jiang to an office.

    "Our general manager is inside."

    "Good!" Qin Jiang smiled slightly and, without greeting, pushed the door open and entered.

    The middle-aged man inside slowly set down his coffee. Seeing a young man and woman enter, he frowned, "Who let you in?"

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Ie in if I want to."

    Considering what this guy had said to Xu Muge earlier, Qin Jiang had no intention of being polite with him.

    Mo Hao was furious, "Impudent! What do you think this ce is? Can you behave so wildly here?"

    His anger erupted, his status being what it was¡ªsecond only to none at the Industrial Bank.

    Did Qin Jiang no longer want to do business here the way he spoke to him?

    Xu Muge quickly said, "General Manager Mo, I''m sorry, I''m Xu Muge, about earlier..."

    Mo Hao interrupted indifferently, "I know you."

    "I''ve already made it clear to you before, we absolutely won''t grant you a loan here."

    "Iplete procedures, unqualified qualifications."

    "Out of the question!"

    Qin Jiang said coldly, "What if the procedures areplete, and the qualifications are sufficient?"

    Mo Hao sneered, "That won''t work either."

    Qin Jiang smiled yfully, "Why not?"

    "No reason! I''m just not pleased, what about it!" Mo Hao looked down from on high, swung his chair around, and gave Qin Jiang a cold nce, "Are you going to kneel down and beg me?"

    Qin Jiang''s smile grew colder, "Even withplete procedures, it''s still not possible?"

    Mo Hao sneered, "Of course, who has the power of speech? I''m the decider, your rage is futile."

    "Oh, but if you want a loan, that''s possible too." Mo Hao nced at Xu Muge with a smile, "I have a valued guest here who just happens to want to get to know Miss Xu Muge. If Miss Xu is interested, she could attend the banquet at the hotel."

    "As for you... don''t bothering."

    Mockery filled Mo Hao''s eyes.

    Qin Jiang''s voice was icy, "Who gave you so much power?"

    "I did!" Mo Hao said proudly, "It''s all because of me! I, Mo Hao, have that power!"

    "Miss Xu, I advise you to consider it. If you really please this important person, this billion, forget about getting a loan¡ªyou might even be gifted it. After all, Miss Xu, your current situation isn''t great, it''s not like before. For such a high price, it''s not a loss! Right?"

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned frosty, and in one swift move, he grabbed Mo Hao''s throat and yanked him up!

    "You''re really dancing on the edge of death!"

    His grip tightened bit by bit...

    The entire office was enveloped by a dead-silent atmosphere!

    "Who gave you the guts?!"

 Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Excited Liu Hao!

    Mo Hao''s face was filled with pain.

    His howls of agony were ceaseless.

    Qin Jiang asked coldly, "Tell me, who exactly is the person giving Muge trouble?"

    "Pah, you think you can get information from me? Dream on!"

    "Alright, quite tough," Qin Jiang said with a faint smile, "I wonder how long you can keep it up?"

    He smashed a wine bottle.

    The sharp ss was pressed directly on Mo Hao''s fingers.

    "Starting now, every three seconds, you''re going to lose a finger."

    "Three, two, one..."

    Mo Hao didn''t make a sound, looking stubbornly at Qin Jiang.

    Qin Jiang cut off one of his fingers without any expression!

    Mo Hao immediately let out a painful howl.

    "The second one! Three, two..."

    "I''ll talk! I''ll talk!" Mo Hao suddenly yelled, "Stop!"

    This guy is a maniac, where would he dare to provoke the other party further?

    "Speak," Qin Jiang stopped his motion.

    Just as Mo Hao was about to speak, at that moment, the security guards from the bank rushed in!

    "General manager!"

    Seeing the terrible state of Mo Hao, they immediately surrounded him!

    "Madman, let go of our general manager right now!"

    They shouted angrily.

    Qin Jiang remained calm andposed, "You won''t be able to keep me here today."

    "Get him! Take him down!" bellowed Mo Hao, "Quick, rescue me!"

    He was so scared he was almost peeing himself.

    The security guards cautiously closed in step by step.

    Qin Jiang gave them a cold nce.

    The next moment, a security guard swung a stun baton at Qin Jiang!

    "Bang!"

    He was flung away before his hand even reached Qin Jiang, and the other guards took the opportunity to rush forward.

    But then, with a series of dull thuds spreading,

    they all ended up sprawled across the floor, while Qin Jiang still sat on his chair, barely having moved at all.

    Mo Hao turned even paler upon seeing this, not expecting the other to be so skilled!

    Qin Jiang coldly stared at him, "Still ying these tricks with me? Looks like you really don''t want your fingers."

    Mo Hao trembled, "No... it wasn''t me who called them in!"

    He was on the verge of tears.

    Suddenly, amanding voice rang out, "Mo Hao, what''s going on? Why is it so noisy in the office?"

    Following that, a middle-aged man walked into the office.

    "Branch manager!"

    "Branch manager!"

    Seeing the neer, the employees and security guards, one by one, stood up and greeted him with respect.

    "What happened? Why are you all bruised and swollen?" Liu Hao asked in a deep voice.

    Then he saw Mo Hao, pressed against the desk, unable to move.

    His gaze turned slightly cold.

    Then he continued shifting his gaze...

    When Mo Hao saw Liu Hao arrive, he immediately showed a gleam of hope, "Branch manager, branch manager, this guy is trying to kill someone, it''s too scary, you have to save me..."

    Liu Hao was the branch manager of the Industrial Bank and currently held the most significant authority within the banking system in Jiangcheng; even many wealthy and powerful conglomerates had to treat him with great respect.

    After all, the Industrial Bank was thergest bank in Jiangcheng.

    The cash inside was an extremely terrifying figure.

    When the big financial tycoons needed cash flow, they mostly couldn''t bypass him.

    "This kid is too presumptuous! Branch manager, please have someone rescue me..."

    Mo Hao pleaded tearfully, the excruciating pain in his hand driving him to desperation.

    However, the next moment, Liu Hao did something that left him utterly dumbfounded¡ª

    "Benefactor!"

    Liu Hao came up to Qin Jiang with a face full of ecstasy, shouting out loud, his tone incredibly excited!

 Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Cleaning the Toilets

    ```

    "Who are you...?" Qin Jiang frantically recalled, trying to figure out who this man was.

    Soon, he remembered, "You are the middle-aged man from the car ident scene that day."

    "That''s right, that''s right!" Liu Hao was somewhat excited, "I can''t believe my benefactor still remembers me."

    Benefactor?!

    The entire room was bewildered.

    Mo Hao was equally shocked,pletely dumbfounded!

    The next moment...

    Thump!

    Liu Hao knelt on the ground, "Benefactor, please ept my bow! That day you saved my wife and child, yet I spoke harshly towards you, I am truly ashamed! These past days, I have been asking around trying to find your whereabouts, never expected to meet you here..."

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "No need for such courtesy."

    Xu Muge was very puzzled, when did Qin Jiang get to know such an important person?

    And this Director Liu, he was so respectful to him!

    Mo Hao had anticipated that things were not looking good, his lips turning white.

    Liu Hao took a deep breath and asked, "Benefactor, howe you are here? And what is happening?"

    Why had Qin Jiang suddenly attacked Mo Hao, leaving him in such a state?

    He found it hard to believe.

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "My fianc¨¦e came here for a loan, but she was given a hard time by this guy, and he even spoke filthy words to her, so I took action."

    "Director Liu, how do you want to deal with this matter?"

    Discover hidden content at empire

    Hearing this, Liu Hao''s expression turned cold, "Mo Hao, what''s going on?!"

    "I..." Mo Hao was at a loss for words, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

    "Speak!"

    Liu Hao''s voice grew colder as he pressed for an answer.

    Qin Jiang had saved his wife and child that day, his life savior; now, this incident happened on his turf, and if he didn''t handle it well, how could he even talk about repaying Qin Jiang?

    Mo Hao hastily tried to disassociate himself from the matter.

    "Director, this isn''t my fault, I was just thinking of the bank''s best interest!"

    "This was Mr. Chu Tiandao''s idea."

    "Mr. Chu Tiandao is a major client of Industrial Bank. This time, he came to Jiangcheng to do business and directly deposited a huge order of two billion into our bank, we all had to treat him like a revered Buddha."

    "Just before leaving, he specifically instructed me, saying if Miss Xu came for a loan, it must not be approved... so I just..."

    Liu Hao was furious, "I asked you to temporarily take care of the bank''s affairs, is this how you handle it?"

    Mo Hao''s body trembled, "I..."

    He had wanted to use this opportunity to ingratiate himself with Chu Tianjiao.

    He hadn''t expected it to end like this!

    Now he thoroughly regretted it...

    With Liu Hao''s character of selfless fairness, if he misused his authority to mistreat customers, Liu Hao''s punishment would surely be severe.

    Liu Hao said coldly, "From now on, you''ll no longer be the general manager. I will apply to have you demoted to ordinary manager, and furthermore..."

    "Starting today, for the next two months, you''re responsible for all the cleaning in the bank!"

    "Do you have any objections?"

    As these words fell, Mo Hao''s face turned deathly pale; not only was he going to be demoted, but he was also going to clean toilets? He was the general manager of Industrial Bank, just under one person and above tens of thousands, holding great power!

    Always able to call the shots at Industrial Bank, with no one daring to disrespect him.

    Now, however, he was reduced to a toilet cleaner, how could he ept such a huge contrast?

    Where could he put his face now?

    This was more unbearable than killing him!!

    Seeing the iron blue cast of his face, Liu Hao''s expression grew even graver, "Are you dissatisfied with my decision?"

    "Not at all, not at all!" Mo Hao shook his head frantically.

    "However... Director, these two individuals have specifically been marked by Mr. Chu Tiandao for sanction, and they have already been cklisted in some circles of Jiangcheng. It''s not worth offending Mr. Chu for their sake!"

    ```

 Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Conversation Across Space!

    Chu Tianjiao?

    The big shot from Jinling?

    Liu Hao didn''t hesitate, "As the head of the bank, I have always followed standard procedures in doing things. It doesn''t matter what kind of big shot or lesser Chu is involved¡ªthey''re useless! Get out¡ª"

    Qin Jiang was the savior of his wife and child. Even if Chu Tianjiao held a high position in Jinling, Liu Hao certainly could not be ungrateful! Read new chapters at empire

    "President, are you sure you want to offend Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu isn''t as simple as you think!" Mo Hao couldn''t believe that Liu Hao was actually attracting the wrath of the big shot Chu for someone who was almost dead?

    "Threatening me?" Liu Haoughed angrily, "Get lost! From now on, you don''t need toe to work anymore!"

    Mo Hao got up with a sneer, "Fine! Fine! Liu Hao, you just wait. I will make you regret this!"

    After speaking, he spat fiercely on the ground and stormed off.

    Liu Hao then turned to Qin Jiang, "My benefactor, how much do you want to borrow?!"

    "One billion," Qin Jiang said with a light smile.

    Those words made Liu Hao gasp in shock; he hadn''t expected Qin Jiang to aim so high!

    After all, there weren''t many people orpanies in Jiangcheng''s Industrial Bank that could take out a loan of one billion.

    However, when Qin Jiang pulled out the property deed, Liu Hao''s eyes immediately brightened, "No. 1 Tianlong Garden? Mr. Qin, with this property deed, it''s not a problem to secure a loan of one billion, and adding another billion wouldn''t be an issue either."

    "Don''t worry, I will definitely handle it for you."

    Qin Jiang nodded with a faint smile, "Okay, then I''ll leave it to you."

    After that, Liu Hao personally escorted them out of the bank.

    Looking up, Qin Jiang saw Mo Hao on the phone, whining to the person on the other end like a fawning pug.

    Qin Jiang''s eyes turned cold, and he walked over and snatched the phone away.

    "Chu Tianjiao?!" His voice was chilly.

    After a pause of a few seconds, a scoff came from the other end, "Qin Jiang, it seems you do have some abilities. Last time you had Shen Tianrong speaking for you, and now the bank president''s got your back. Not bad, Mr. Chu is bing increasingly interested in you..."

    "I hope you, this ant, can bring me a little fun."

    "Be careful¡ªthe ''ant'' in your eyes might just make it impossible for you to find a ce to be buried," Qin Jiang scoffed.

    "Don''t be so smug yet, I''ll y with you slowly, letting you taste despair," Chu Tianjiao said coldly, "I had thought of killing you directly, but now it seems like cat and mouse is more entertaining."

    "I just happen to have returned to Jinling recently and don''t have time to entertain you myself. However, I''m curious to see how many rounds you can survive!"

    With that, Chu Tianjiao hung up the call.

    Qin Jiang threw the phone back to Mo Hao, "Scram!"

    Mo Hao stared coldly at Qin Jiang and the others, "You just wait! I will belong to Mr. Chu sooner orter, and one day I will make you pay back a hundredfold!"

    Having said that, he stormed off in a rage.

    Liu Hao said coldly, "Mr. Qin, you don''t need to take it to heart."

    Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

    Xu Muge said, "It seems that I can''t take down the qualification. It''s probably Chu Tianjiao meddling behind the scenes."

    Her eyes held a trace of helplessness. How could they resist the immense power of the Chu Family?

    But she also would not give up that easily!

    Qin Jiang said indifferently, "No worries, I''ll personally take you there. I refuse to believe he can block uspletely. As powerful as the Chu Family may be, they still can''t have everything their way under heaven."

    Xu Muge nodded silently. Under Chu Tianjiao''s oppression, herpetitive spirit was even more aroused!

    This guy, acting superior, as if he were the master of life and death¡ªit filled Xu Muge with intense anger. Since Chu Tianjiao considered them ants, she was determined to show him that even ants could shake the heavens!

    The two bid farewell to Liu Hao, ready to head directly to the Commerce Department, but just then, a phone call came into Xu Muge''s mobile.

    "May I ask who''s calling?" Xu Muge asked in surprise.

    "Zhou Shaotong." A man''s lightughter came from the other end. He chuckled teasingly, "My father presides over the Commerce Department and finds it inconvenient to speak with Miss Xu directly, so I am acting on his behalf."

    "I''m on the third floor, in Room No. 8 at the Longhu Residence. Don''t bete."
