"Shura King's divine might is unmatched, and he was protected by powerful Shura Iron Guards. He definitely did not die by accident! As his son, you must investigate everything and not let the Shura King die without knowing the truth!"
"And your mother and siblings, they might still be alive... The Shura Ring left by your father must be worn on your hand at all times. Anyone who recognizes it is definitely your father's confidant and the most trustworthy person!"
"Right, deal with the nine engagement contracts I made for you after you go down the mountain."
"If you don't like them, break the engagement. Don't delay the young ladies!"
Standing before the tombstone, his master's dying words echoed in Qin Hanchu's mind.
He was the son of the God of War, and his father was the Shura King, renowned for his military achievements.
All along, he had believed his father died in an accident while patrolling the border.
Now he knew the matter was not that simple.
With his father's strength, what kind of accident could cost him his life?
Moreover, his father was accompanied by eighteen powerful Shura Iron Guards.
Not only did his father die, but even the eighteen Shura Iron Guards were reduced to dust!
After his master's death, Qin Hanchu guarded his tomb on the mountain for three years.
Now, the three years were up!
"Master, it's time for me to go down the mountain!"
"If my father died unnaturally, I will definitely find the truth and make the enemy pay with blood!"
With that, Qin Hanchu knelt before the tombstone and kowtowed three times.
He stood up and gazed deeply at the tombstone, on which was inscribed: "Tomb of Divine Doctor Hu Qingshan!"
"Chairman, Lin Jiaxue and Han Liang are getting engaged in a week. How should this be handled?"
Behind Qin Hanchu stood a tall, long-haired beauty.
Her name was Qing Dai. She had helped his master manage his businesses in the city.
Before Hu Qingshan died, he had left all his assets to Qin Hanchu.
Qing Dai thus became Qin Hanchu's assistant.
"Lin Jiaxue? My fiancée in Island City?" Qin Hanchu was taken aback, then remembered that his master had arranged a marriage for him.
According to the engagement, Lin Jiaxue was his fiancée!
And now she was getting engaged to someone else?
"Yes," Qing Dai nodded.
"Although I never intended to marry her, this engagement was arranged by my master for me."
"Since our engagement has not been canceled, she cannot marry someone else."
"To break a promise is a great disrespect to my master! Marrying someone else while engaged to me is an insult to me!"
Qin Hanchu's words sounded calm, but Qing Dai could detect his anger.
Any man would find it unacceptable for his "fiancée" to marry someone else!
What was the difference between this and being cuckolded?
Seven days later, at the Grand Hotel.
At the entrance, a festive red archway stood, bearing the inscription: "Congratulations to Mr. Han Liang and Miss Lin Jiaxue on their happy engagement!"
Seeing these words, Qin Hanchu's eyes instantly turned cold.
Since Lin Wansheng had made an engagement with his master, he should have kept his promise.
Even if he wanted to back out, there should have been a formal procedure to dissolve the engagement.
Getting engaged to someone else without canceling the original engagement?
This showed they had no regard for Qin Hanchu and his master.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Qin Hanchu heard the guests chatting in small groups.
"Lin Wansheng is truly cunning. By marrying his daughter to Young Master Han, he can secure the backing of the Han Group from now on."
"Exactly. The Han Group is wealthy and powerful. Lin Hai Group will definitely soar to the skies!"
"This is also thanks to Lin Jiaxue's beauty, which won Young Master Han's favor."
"Lin Jiaxue is as beautiful as an immortal, that's her capital!"
"Although Lin Jiaxue is beautiful, the most beautiful woman in Island City is still Jin Hailu from Jinshi Group."
"That ice queen is probably impossible for anyone to melt."
As the crowd was chatting, two emcees walked onto the stage with smiles.
At their invitation, the guests present took their seats.
The banquet officially began.
It was at this moment that Qin Hanchu, with steady steps, calmly walked through the tables and directly onto the stage.
"Sir, you..."
Seeing Qin Hanchu suddenly walk onto the stage, the two emcees were very puzzled.
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Hanchu snatched the microphone from him.
"You are not needed now. Go to the side and wait." Qin Hanchu looked at the two emcees with icy eyes.
Feeling the chill in Qin Hanchu's eyes, the two emcees retreated to the side fearfully.
The audience below erupted in an uproar. Everyone could tell that Qin Hanchu was not here with good intentions.
Holding the microphone, Qin Hanchu looked coldly at Lin Wansheng: "Lin Jiaxue is getting engaged, why wasn't I notified? She is my fiancée, you haven't forgotten that, have you?"
"What? Lin Jiaxue is his fiancée?"
"What's going on?"
"Lin Jiaxue is already engaged?"
"I can't believe such a scandal would appear at the Han family's engagement banquet!"
"Who is this bastard who dares to cause trouble at my Han family's banquet! Lin Jiaxue is my fiancée, everyone knows that. Who do you think you are?"
Qin Hanchu's words enraged Han Liang!
It was his big day, and Qin Hanchu was claiming to be engaged to his fiancée!
This was simply a grave insult!
The Han family was a prominent clan in Island City. How could they allow such a disgraceful thing to happen?
"Are you insulting me?" Qin Hanchu's icy gaze fell on Han Liang.
"I'm talking about you, you damned bastard, get lost! Believe it or not, I'll make you leave carried out!" Han Liang, furious, walked up to Qin Hanchu and cursed him with a ferocious expression.
Qin Hanchu said nothing more. He suddenly kicked Han Liang in the chest.
Han Liang spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and his body flew backward, overturning a dining table.
The audience below descended into chaos!
"How dare you hit my son! Cripple him!" Han Shouye roared in exasperation.
His Han Group was a top-tier existence in Island City's business circles.
If Qin Hanchu was not disabled today, his Han family would surely become a laughingstock in Island City's business circles.
Following Han Shouye's roar, the Han family's guards swarmed forward.
"You cur, how dare you spew nonsense and slander my daughter's reputation? I will not let you off today."
Even though Lin Wansheng had recognized Qin Hanchu, at this moment, he would never admit to Qin Hanchu's engagement to Lin Jiaxue.
"Lin Wansheng, you dare to insult me too? You're seeking death!"
Qin Hanchu's voice grew colder. His master had saved Lin Wansheng's life, yet Lin Wansheng dared to insult him!
What a truly ungrateful scumbag!
Qin Hanchu casually picked up the red wine from the offering table and hurled it at Lin Wansheng.
The wine bottle spun rapidly and smashed hard onto Lin Wansheng's head.
*Bang!*
The wine bottle shattered on the spot, and the red liquid flowed down Lin Wansheng's head.
The intense pain caused Lin Wansheng to cry out repeatedly.
"Qin Hanchu, are you done being crazy? My engagement to you was just a joke, and you actually took it seriously?"
Seeing her father injured by Qin Hanchu, Lin Jiaxue rushed forward angrily.
"A joke? If it weren't for your engagement to me, would my master have saved that ungrateful Lin Wansheng?" Qin Hanchu scoffed disdainfully. "With just a word 'joke,' you want to resolve all past karma?"
"Don't you just want money? Here's a million, now get lost!"
"Don't you think about who you are? What right do you have to be my Lin Jiaxue's fiancé?"
"Although my Lin family is not a top-tier wealthy family, it is not something a mere barefoot doctor like you can aspire to!"
"Even if you wanted to be a lowly live-in son-in-law, I, Lin Jiaxue, would not look down on you!"
Lin Jiaxue's words were filled with sarcasm, and her eyes showed extreme contempt.
