Yun Niang also frowned, she truly couldn't understand Qin Hanchu's actions.
The Kong family had summoned so many strong individuals to kill him.
Yet Qin Hanchu dared to come alone.
Now, Qin Hanchu was facing seven Grandmaster level experts by himself.
If a fight were to break out, Qin Hanchu would surely die.
Just as everyone was consumed with anxiety, the door to the main hall was suddenly pushed open.
Immediately after, everyone saw Qin Hanchu walk out, accompanied by Kong Hanfeng and the other seven.
The previous atmosphere had been one of drawn swords, but the current one was clearly different.
"What's going on? It looks like they've reached a reconciliation," Yun Niang whispered.
"What did Qin Hanchu say to make the Ancestor compromise!" Yu Ling'er also sensed the shift in atmosphere.
The attitude of the seven Grandmasters towards Qin Hanchu had clearly changed.
The Kong family Grandmasters no longer displayed their previous anger.
"From this day forward, the Kong family's grievances with Qin Hanchu are settled."
"No member of the Kong family shall harass young friend Qin any further!"
Kong Hanfeng stood before the Kong family members and spoke solemnly.
Upon hearing this, all the Kong family members were utterly bewildered.
What had happened?
The Kong family had lost a Grandmaster and a patriarch because of Qin Hanchu.
And now, it was all considered settled?
Although the Kong family members were displeased, they did not dare to voice any objections.
With Kong Hanfeng personally issuing the decree, who would dare to contradict him?
What shocked everyone even more was that Kong Hanfeng addressed Qin Hanchu as "young friend Qin"!
Such an intimate address!
They had been all for killing him just moments ago, and now they were friends?
"I'm heading back to Island City. I'll come again to help you all with your physical conditioning when I have time," Qin Hanchu said.
"Very well, we shall await your arrival with great anticipation," Kong Hanfeng replied respectfully.
Under the gaze of the Kong family members, Qin Hanchu swaggered away.
This outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.
Intelligence operatives from agencies like Xuanjian didn't even know how to report.
They had no idea what Qin Hanchu and the others had discussed!
At one in the afternoon, Lin Ying and the other two entered a restaurant.
After being seated, Lin Ying gazed out the window absentmindedly.
"My dear young lady, you're completely out of it today." Seeing Lin Ying lost in thought again, Xin Xin said.
Jin Hailu added, "She's worried about Qin Hanchu."
"Sister Hailu, aren't you worried?" Lin Ying didn't deny it, her concern for Qin Hanchu wasn't necessarily romantic.
Jin Hailu had witnessed Qin Hanchu's true strength, and thus had great confidence in him.
"Don't worry, he won't be in any danger," Jin Hailu said.
Just then, Qin Hanchu walked into the restaurant with a smile.
Xin Xin exclaimed excitedly, "Look, he's back!"
Lin Ying quickly looked up and saw Qin Hanchu approaching with a smile.
"Have you ordered yet? I haven't eaten either," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
"You're back so soon? Did you settle things with the Kong family?" Lin Ying asked in surprise.
"You were worried to death when he was gone, and now that he's back, you have so many questions," Xin Xin teased.
Lin Ying blushed and explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just concerned about you like a good best friend."
"Why don't I see you showing such concern for Xin Xin?" Jin Hailu asked with a smile.
"Sister Hailu, you've learned to tease others?" Lin Ying retorted playfully.
Qin Hanchu sat down next to Jin Hailu and said, "You look better when you smile. Smile more often, consider it a treat for me."
"I'll try." Hearing Qin Hanchu's words, Jin Hailu's smile vanished again.
Qin Hanchu said with a hint of frustration, "You just took back that smile so quickly."
"Don't rush to flirt with Sister Hailu, tell us what happened?" Lin Ying asked curiously.
Qin Hanchu scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "What can be said is useless, and what is useful cannot be said."
"You've certainly mastered the art of stating the obvious," Lin Ying said with a sigh.
Since Qin Hanchu didn't want to talk about it, Lin Ying didn't press further.
As long as Qin Hanchu returned safely, that was all that mattered.
As the four were chatting, Qin Hanchu saw Jin Song walking down from upstairs.
Qin Hanchu averted his gaze, not wanting to engage with Jin Song.
If Jin Hailu saw Jin Song, it would spoil her good mood.
Qin Hanchu might not have wanted to interact with Jin Song, but Jin Song had seen Jin Hailu.
In the past, Jin Song would have kept his distance.
But today, he walked over.
"Cousin, I didn't expect to run into you here," Jin Song said with a smile.
Seeing Jin Song, Jin Hailu's expression turned even more grim.
"Is there something you need?" Jin Hailu asked indifferently.
"I must thank you. If you hadn't returned the shares, I wouldn't be living such a good life now." As he spoke, Jin Song raised his wrist.
A watch worth a million yuan gleamed conspicuously.
Although Jin Laotai was the chairman of Jinshi Group, she was advanced in age.
Now, all decisions of Jinshi Group were in the hands of Jin Shiming's family.
With power, Jin Song's life naturally became much more affluent.
"Then cherish this hard-won good life," Jin Hailu said.
Jin Song cast a wary glance at Qin Hanchu, then smiled and said, "I'm very curious, what method did Grandma use to make you willingly withdraw?"
"Get lost and ask Jin Laotai. Don't ruin our appetite here," Qin Hanchu said coldly at this moment.
Jin Song quickly retreated a few steps and chuckled, "Did Grandma find some dirt on you? Like you're not even a descendant of the Jin family!"
Jin Shiming's family had always been suspicious about Jin Hailu handing over power.
Ultimately, this seemed to be the most plausible reason!
As soon as Jin Song finished speaking, Qin Hanchu suddenly appeared before him.
Bang!
Under Jin Song's terrified gaze, Qin Hanchu punched him in the chest.
Jin Song was sent flying, and by the time he landed, his life had been extinguished!
"To insult her, you deserve to die!"
If it were a trivial insult, Qin Hanchu wouldn't have resorted to killing.
But Jin Song's words were equivalent to calling Jin Hailu an illegitimate child from Song Zhilan's infidelity!
Such an insult was unacceptable to Qin Hanchu.
Jin Hailu had been furious, but before her anger could erupt, Qin Hanchu had already extinguished it.
Qin Hanchu had killed Jin Song in public for her!
The surrounding diners were startled by the scene, and everyone stared at Qin Hanchu in shock.
Qin Hanchu took out his phone and called Blood Wolf, asking him to handle the situation.
Qin Hanchu was currently an instructor for the Blood Warfare Army, so he could legitimately use the authority of the Pacification Army.
There were many ways to rationalize Jin Song's death.
For example, Jin Song was a member of foreign hostile forces, captured and killed by Qin Hanchu.
This would even count as a meritorious deed.
"You probably don't have any familial ties with him, right?" Qin Hanchu asked as he returned to Jin Hailu's side.
Jin Hailu remained silent, only nodding.
Although she and Jin Song had grown up together, there was no real kinship between them.
Especially after Song Zhilan left the Jin family, Jin Song frequently mocked Jin Hailu, which made Jin Hailu detest him.
