To welcome the senior executives from the Longteng Group, Old Mrs. Jin and Jin Shiming began preparations early.
At ten-thirty in the morning, the people from Longteng Group finally arrived.
Under the warm welcome of Old Mrs. Jin, everyone proceeded to the conference room.
"It is our Jinshi Group's honor to cooperate with Longteng Group."
"Please convey to Chairman Long that we will do our utmost to ensure the success of Longteng Group's projects."
As everyone took their seats, Old Mrs. Jin said with a smile.
"Where is Chairman Jin?" asked the senior executive from Longteng Group.
"Which Chairman Jin?" Jin Shiming asked in confusion.
"Why hasn't Chairman Jin Hailu appeared?" the Longteng Group executive inquired.
Old Mrs. Jin quickly said angrily, "Jin Hailu provoked your company, and I have already expelled her from Jinshi Group."
Upon hearing this, the Longteng Group executive stood up directly and said, "I apologize, but I was instructed to negotiate cooperation with Chairman Jin. Since Chairman Jin has been expelled from Jinshi Group, there is no need to continue this cooperation."
With that, the Longteng Group contingent left.
Old Mrs. Jin and the Jin Shiming family were stunned!
What was going on?
"What happened? What do they mean?" Jin Song said anxiously.
"Are these people crazy? Qin Hanchu and Jin Hailu crippled Long Yueguang's hands, why would Longteng Group want to negotiate with Jin Hailu?" Lin Shufen felt bewildered.
"Yeah, what's going on?" Jin Shiming said.
Old Mrs. Jin was also completely baffled.
From last night, she had been eagerly anticipating this cooperation.
But she never expected such an outcome.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Old Mrs. Jin, who was originally overjoyed, now felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her.
She would never have imagined that all of this was Qin Hanchu's prank.
There was only one class in the afternoon.
As the dismissal bell rang, Qin Hanchu asked Lin Ying, "Go home or go out for a stroll?"
"To the martial arts hall, I want you to help me improve my martial arts," Lin Ying said.
"That's fine too," Qin Hanchu nodded.
The martial arts hall was an open area where many students practicing martial arts trained themselves.
Passing through the crowd, the two found an empty spot.
"Are you training your physique or practical combat?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Practical combat," Lin Ying said, stretching her limbs, "Hold back a bit, don't beat me to a pulp."
Qin Hanchu chuckled, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
"Here I come," said Lin Ying, charging towards Qin Hanchu.
Although Lin Ying did not know Qin Hanchu's true strength.
She was certain that even if she went all out, she wouldn't be able to harm Qin Hanchu in the slightest.
This way, she could unleash her techniques without any reservations.
Lin Ying's martial arts aptitude was actually quite good.
In her early twenties, she had already reached the peak of the fifth rank.
As the campus beauty of the military academy, Lin Ying attracted the attention of many students.
Unknowingly, Qin Hanchu had been on the defensive for over half an hour.
During this half hour, Lin Ying's every attack was at full strength.
The high-intensity attacks left Lin Ying drenched in sweat.
Just then, Qin Hanchu sensed a change in Lin Ying.
She had grown stronger!
In the battle, Lin Ying had broken through her realm and reached the sixth rank.
In the military academy, most sixth-rank martial artists were fourth-year students.
"Phew! That was exhilarating!"
Feeling that she had broken through her realm, Lin Ying happily stopped.
"Congratulations," Qin Hanchu smiled.
"I'll rest for a bit, then we can talk," Lin Ying said, her entire body weak. She walked towards the resting area, hands on her hips.
Qin Hanchu came to her side and gently supported her hand, saying, "I'll make you medicinal cuisine tonight to replenish your strength."
"That sounds good," Lin Ying said, panting.
"Junior, can you help me? My realm has also reached a bottleneck."
"If I could have a match like this, perhaps I could also break through."
As soon as Lin Ying sat down, Zhang Jiayu came to Qin Hanchu and said softly.
"Holy crap, what does Zhang Jiayu mean? Trying to get close to Qin Hanchu in front of Lin Ying?"
"Those with strong abilities get priority in choosing a partner."
"Can't compare with geniuses."
Seeing another beauty approaching Qin Hanchu, the male students around were quite frustrated.
Zhang Jiayu's appearance and figure were not much inferior to Lin Ying's.
Moreover, everyone's aesthetic standards differed.
In the eyes of some, Zhang Jiayu was even more beautiful than Lin Ying.
Lin Ying's gaze towards Zhang Jiayu held a trace of coldness.
Her eyes were like a tigress protecting her cubs.
"You can go ask a coach to spar with you; the coach won't refuse your request," Qin Hanchu said calmly.
"Junior, are you afraid that junior Lin Ying will be jealous?" Zhang Jiayu smiled.
"I just don't want to have too much contact with you," Qin Hanchu said.
Zhang Jiayu's smiling expression froze once more.
Qin Hanchu showed no mercy at all, speaking too directly.
"Am I that annoying?" Zhang Jiayu asked.
"It's not that you're annoying, it's just that you have a strong agenda, which I don't like,"
Hearing this, Zhang Jiayu didn't know how to respond.
What Qin Hanchu said was the truth; she did have her own motives.
Zhang Jiayu was silent for a moment, finally reorganizing her words.
But just as she was about to speak, Qin Hanchu received a call.
His expression instantly turned cold. He hung up the phone and said to Lin Ying, "You stay at the academy and don't go out until I return."
"What happened?" Lin Ying asked.
"I'll tell you when I get back."
With that, Qin Hanchu left in a hurry.
The call he had just received was from Wan Tong.
Just now, Jin Hailu had been abducted.
Although Qin Hanchu had arranged for a ninth-rank expert to protect her, the person who made the move this time was a Grandmaster!
The opponent abducted Jin Hailu with the intention of luring Qin Hanchu over.
As soon as Qin Hanchu stepped out of the academy, he received the call.
Getting into a taxi, Qin Hanchu immediately headed to the agreed location.
At the same time, the leader of the Dark Star branch had already spotted Chen Feiyu on the street.
Chen Feiyu had stayed at Jinshi Group previously because Qin Hanchu had asked him to look after Jin Hailu.
Now that Jin Hailu had left Jinshi Group, Chen Feiyu naturally wouldn't continue to stay as a security guard.
In a car by the roadside, the leader of the Dark Star branch looked coldly at Chen Feiyu not far away and asked, "Do we have news from the swordsman?"
"We just received word that the swordsman's Grandmaster expert has captured Jin Hailu. Qin Hanchu will definitely go to save her."
Upon hearing this news, the branch leader snorted and said, "Very good. This way, no one will come to save Ying Sha."
"This is a busy area, so it's not convenient to make a move."
"You go and track him, let him detect you, and then lure him to a less crowded place," the branch leader instructed.
The car door opened, and someone from Dark Star quietly walked towards Chen Feiyu.
Chen Feiyu was an expert skilled in assassination. Even if the other party didn't intentionally reveal their tracks, he could still sense that he was being followed.
