Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 275 So What?

The sea was so turbulent; this person was definitely not here to swim.

Knowing this person intended to end their life, Qin Hanchu walked over curiously.

As he approached, the white figure became clearer.

It was a slender woman with long hair that fluttered in the wind.

Because she had her back to Qin Hanchu, he could not see her face.

Judging solely by her back, her figure was simply perfect.

When Qin Hanchu got closer, the woman was already stepping into the water.

She walked blankly towards the sea, emanating an aura of intense sorrow.

Qin Hanchu jumped onto a reef and sat down.

"White dress, long hair! At this late hour, are you here to scare people?" Qin Hanchu called out from the reef.

Qin Hanchu's shout made the woman pause.

"It's none of your business. Leave," the woman said, turning to look at Qin Hanchu.

Seeing the woman's face, Qin Hanchu was taken aback.

Qin Hanchu was not stunned by the woman's beauty, but rather because her appearance did not match her good figure.

The woman's features were actually passable, but her face was covered in red bumps.

Besides the bumps, her face also had many small black spots.

"Don't misunderstand. I'm not here to save you."

"I'm just waiting for someone here and I'm a bit bored."

"You won't lose much by waiting a bit. Why not chat with me first?"

"Tell me your story. Even if you die, your story will remain."

Qin Hanchu rested his chin on his hand and smiled.

The woman was silent for a moment, then spoke, recounting her story.

The story was simple: she had encountered a scumbag.

The scumbag pretended to like her and then swindled her out of her money.

He even tricked her into taking out a huge loan.

Not only had she lost love, but she also incurred an unpayable debt.

Disheartened, she decided to end her life.

"Thank you for being willing to listen to my story." After speaking, the woman continued walking into the sea.

Just then, Qin Hanchu spoke again, "Don't rush to die. There's a good show coming up soon. You can die after watching it, it's not too late."

The woman was stunned. What was Qin Hanchu up to?

What good show?

As she wondered, she saw hundreds of people rushing towards them.

The woman was shocked!

What was going on?

She stood in the sea, watching the approaching crowd blankly.

"These people are here to kill me. I'll deal with them first before we talk," Qin Hanchu said, standing up.

A moment later, hundreds of people stood in a dense mass on the beach.

Leading them were the administrator and high-ranking officials of the Chong family.

"Esteemed Administrator!"

The woman's eyes widened in shock.

She never expected to see the most powerful person in Lijian City right before her death.

"You brat, are you trying to jump into the sea to commit suicide?" An elder from the Chong family shouted angrily upon seeing Qin Hanchu standing on the reef.

Qin Hanchu ignored the man, his gaze fixed on the administrator.

"Are you the administrator of this city?" Qin Hanchu asked.

The administrator replied indignantly, "Indeed!"

"Are you the son-in-law of the Chong family?" Qin Hanchu continued to ask.

The administrator looked coldly at Qin Hanchu. "So what if I am?"

"I'll give you two choices. First, you uphold righteousness and eliminate the Chong family."

"Second, you and the Chong family disappear from this world."

Qin Hanchu stated.

"You court death!"

Qin Hanchu's words shocked everyone.

This was the administrator of Lijian City, and Qin Hanchu dared to threaten him like this!

The woman in the sea also looked at Qin Hanchu in disbelief.

Was this man crazy?

Talking to the administrator like that, did he not want to live?

"I'm very curious what gives you the audacity to say such things," the administrator said, his eyes glinting coldly.

Qin Hanchu casually tossed the Champion Marquis's token over. "Is this enough?"

Catching the token, the administrator's gaze was instantly struck by the words "Champion Marquis."

He, who was originally arrogant, suddenly knelt on the beach. "Your subordinate greets the Champion Marquis!"

Champion Marquis!

The members of the Chong family widened their eyes in terror.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone fearfully knelt on the beach and shouted, "Greetings, Champion Marquis!"

Qin Hanchu still ignored the people of the Chong family, looking at the administrator with a smile. "Give me a choice."

"The Chong family has committed many evils in Lijian City. I will definitely uphold justice and ensure the Chong family receives the punishment they deserve!" the administrator said hastily.

Upon hearing this, the Chong family members broke out in a cold sweat.

"Champion Marquis, we of the Chong family know our mistakes. Please give us a chance."

"It was all Chong Wenbin's doing. Killing him, Champion Marquis, is ridding the Chong family of a harmful element."

The Chong family high officials shouted urgently.

"Since you know what to do, then do it."

"I hope you will handle this impartially."

Qin Hanchu still did not pay attention to the Chong family members.

The administrator stood up and immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest the Chong family high officials present.

These hundreds of people, who had arrived swiftly, also left quickly.

Qin Hanchu's words had sealed the Chong family's fate, ensuring their erasure from Lijian City.

Of course, Qin Hanchu would not allow this administrator to remain in his position.

He would send a message to Ji Huairou tonight to handle this matter.

After everyone had left, Qin Hanchu looked at the woman in the sea and said, "I'll handle your debt, I'll find the man who scammed you, and then you can deal with him as you see fit."

"You... are you really the Champion Marquis?" the woman asked disbelievingly.

Qin Hanchu smiled. "If I weren't, do you think an administrator would be so respectful to me?"

"Greetings..."

As the woman was about to kneel, Qin Hanchu said, "No need. Hurry and come up."

A moment later, the woman returned to shore, looking at Qin Hanchu with some fear.

Seeing this, Qin Hanchu smiled. "If you're not afraid of death, why be afraid of my status?"

"That logic makes sense, but it's not quite the same." the woman said.

Qin Hanchu chuckled. "Alright, let's head back first. Come find me at the Coastal Hotel tomorrow, and I'll help you resolve your debt."

"The debt collectors must be surrounding my home," the woman said.

Hearing this, Qin Hanchu replied, "Alright, we can stay at the hotel together then."

If it were any other woman, she might have suspected Qin Hanchu of having ulterior motives.

But the woman had a clear understanding of herself.

That scumbag didn't even try to deceive her sexually, which showed how repulsive she must appear.

Qin Hanchu, being the Champion Marquis, wouldn't be so desperate.

Half an hour later, the woman followed Qin Hanchu into the hotel suite.

The suite had two bedrooms, so neither of them would intrude on the other.

Under the light, Qin Hanchu looked at the woman closely and said, "Your features are actually quite exquisite; it's just that the bumps and black spots have ruined them."

"Your Highness, are you mocking me?" the woman asked with some displeasure.

Qin Hanchu quickly said, "Don't misunderstand. I have no intention of mocking you. I just want to give you a makeover and see what you'd look like without the black spots and bumps."
