Chapter 1437 Harsh Strength
Who dares to cause trouble at our Qin family?!
Following this voice, a young man led his men and rushed out.
This young man was named Qin Qing, the youngest son of Qin Wanli. He was currently training in the security department, responsible for the family's security work. All security personnel and martial arts masters were to be managed by Qin Qing.
"Young Master Qin Qing, you've come at the perfect time. This kid beat us up as soon as he arrived and said our Qin family took his things!" a security guard said urgently upon seeing the young man.
"You audacious fellow, how dare you cause trouble at our Qin family and say our Qin family took your things? You must be out of your mind!"
Qin Qing's face darkened.
The men around him immediately surrounded Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "I'm not causing trouble. I'm here to retrieve what belongs to me."
"Your things? What things of yours?" Qin Qing frowned.
"Imperial Green!"
Chen Xuan uttered the three words.
Qin Qing was startled, his eyes slowly widening, "You're Chen Xuan?!"
"You know me?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"Of course, I know you. I've heard all about it. At the Treasure Appraisal Convention, you were the one who turned the tide and saved our Qin family. Otherwise, our Qin family would have certainly lost. Especially when you cut out the Imperial Green during the stone gambling, it was simply a stroke of genius!"
Legends about Chen Xuan were now circulating throughout the Qin family, described as almost miraculous. Qin Qing himself, though not particularly talented in antiques, greatly admired experts and was a man of integrity. Since hearing about Chen Xuan's deeds, he had always wanted to get to know him.
"So it's Mr. Chen. I apologize sincerely!"
"Mr. Chen, I was blind and didn't recognize your importance. I apologize to you here."
The two security guards had also heard of Chen Xuan's deeds and repeatedly apologized to him, their demeanor completely changed from before.
The security personnel who arrived later also looked at Chen Xuan with admiration.
In that instant, Chen Xuan had a moment of illusion, wondering if he had walked onto the wrong set.
According to his initial assumptions, since the Qin family wanted to swallow his Imperial Green, they must be a very sinister family, with corrupt morals and overbearing behavior. But now, it seemed these Qin family members were quite decent.
No, this might just be a superficial appearance, and further investigation was needed.
"It's really good that you know me. Quickly take me to see your Second Master," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"You want to see my father..."
Qin Qing showed a hint of hesitation.
"Your father?"
"My father is Qin Wanli."
"What's wrong? Can't I see him?" Chen Xuan frowned.
He hadn't expected Qin Qing to be Qin Wanli's son.
"That's not it. Alright, I'll take Mr. Chen there."
Qin Qing nodded.
Thus, Chen Xuan followed Qin Qing towards the Qin family, and the surrounding security personnel immediately parted.
"Mr. Qin, there's something I don't know if I should say."
On the way, Qin Qing looked troubled.
"What is it? Feel free to speak."
Chen Xuan had a good impression of Qin Qing.
"I overheard my father discussing this matter this morning. My father wants to buy this Imperial Green for one hundred million. I know the price of this Imperial Green is definitely more than ten billion, and I think my father is very wrong."
"Mr. Chen, how about this: I'll try to persuade my father first. If he agrees, that's great. If not, you can go and demand it then."
"Is that acceptable?"
Qin Qing had been hesitant precisely because he knew his father, Qin Wanli, had taken a liking to the Imperial Green and intended to seize it.
He did not believe his father, Qin Wanli, was right.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned and examined Qin Qing's physiognomy.
From Qin Qing's features, he appeared righteous, upright, and magnanimous. For Qin Wanli to have such a son was truly a blessing from his ancestors.
"Mr. Chen, do you think this is acceptable?"
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, Qin Qing spoke again.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, it's up to you then."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Qin Qing was overjoyed. Soon, they arrived at a room, "Mr. Chen, please have a seat here and have some tea. I'll be right back."
Qin Qing turned and walked into the room. Chen Xuan sat down in the living room. As if instructed, a cup of hot tea was immediately served.
A few minutes later, a cold laugh echoed, "Mr. Chen is truly a young hero."
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw Qin Qing walking out with a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man, without a doubt, must be the Qin family's Second Master, Qin Wanli. Qin Qing's expression was dejected, and there was a slap mark on his face, clearly inflicted by Qin Wanli.
Qin Qing gave Chen Xuan a look, signaling that his persuasion had failed.
Chen Xuan was not surprised by this outcome. From Qin Qing's physiognomy, he had a rough idea of Qin Wanli's character; when faced with wealth, few people could persuade him.
"Second Master, you're too kind."
"Thanks to Mr. Chen, without Mr. Chen, our Qin family would not have won this Treasure Appraisal Convention. I should have personally thanked Mr. Chen, but I was simply too busy. Please forgive me."
Qin Wanli wore a hypocritical smile and spoke words that were disgusting to hear.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "There's no need to thank me. I didn't do much, really."
"Mr. Qin, please have a seat and try our Qin family's tea. This is a precious tea that is not usually offered to just anyone," Qin Wanli said with a smile, but his eyes held a glint of killing intent.
"No need. I have important business to attend to today."
"May I ask what business it is?"
Qin Wanli feigned ignorance.
"I've come to retrieve the Imperial Green that I cut. According to the Qin family's rules, the Imperial Green that is cut should belong to the master gambler." Chen Xuan got straight to the point, without any hesitation.
"Mr. Chen, have you misunderstood? The rules of the Qin family are now determined by me, and the Imperial Green should belong to our Qin family."
Qin Wanli sneered.
"Could it be that the Qin family is unwilling to give me the Imperial Green?"
Chen Xuan smiled amiably, but his eyes gleamed with killing intent.
"Oh? Do you dare to make a move at our Qin family? If you have the guts, hit me!"
Qin Wanli laughed heartily, brimming with confidence.
"Bang!"
Chen Xuan directly kicked Qin Wanli's old face.
"You dare to hit me?"
"You told me to hit you."
Chen Xuan grinned, almost making Qin Wanli spit blood.
"Guards..."
Before Qin Wanli could speak, Chen Xuan had already dragged him up.
"Mr. Chen..."
Qin Qing looked worriedly.
Although he looked down on Qin Wanli and did not approve of his actions, Qin Wanli was his father after all. He couldn't just stand by and watch his father get into trouble.
Chen Xuan gave Qin Qing a look, assuring him that he would not take Qin Wanli's life.
Qin Qing felt a slight sense of relief.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
Chen Xuan raised his hand and slapped Qin Wanli several times, leaving him disoriented.
"You..."
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get me the Imperial Green, or I won't let you off!"
Qin Wanli, who was about to retort, was intimidated by Chen Xuan's gaze.
"I'll give it to you, but let's see if you can get it out!"
With that, Qin Wanli glanced at Qin Qing and said, "Go, retrieve my Imperial Green from my safe."
As he spoke, Qin Wanli gave Qin Qing a meaningful look.
