Qin Hanchu’s gaze was as if he were looking at a clown.
He said mockingly, “Since you’ve asked me to name a price, I won’t be polite.”
“Wise of you. Name your price,” Long Yueguang chuckled.
Qin Hanchu smiled and raised a finger.
“One million?” Long Yueguang asked.
“Do I look like a beggar?” Qin Hanchu retorted sarcastically.
“Ten million?” Long Yueguang’s face darkened, as he didn’t have that much money.
“Are you an idiot? I said one hundred billion!” Qin Hanchu stated.
One hundred billion!
Long Yueguang’s eyes sharpened, and he furiously exclaimed, “You’re messing with me!”
“Who’s messing with you? As a businessman, don’t you know prices are determined by value?”
“Hailu is the chairman of Jinshi Group, a conglomerate worth tens of billions.”
“If I marry her, I will own the entire Jinshi Group.”
“You asking me to give her up is equivalent to asking me to give up tens of billions.”
“My asking for one hundred billion is already a heavily discounted price!”
As he spoke, the mockery on Qin Hanchu’s face intensified.
“You dare to play me!” Long Yueguang clenched his fists in anger, then punched towards Qin Hanchu.
However, Long Yueguang’s fist was easily caught by Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu’s hand gripped Long Yueguang’s fist, and he smiled, “You want to fight me? You’re asking for trouble.”
“Let go of me, or else…”
*Crack…*
“Ah!”
Before Long Yueguang could finish his sentence, Qin Hanchu suddenly applied force.
With Qin Hanchu’s immense strength, Long Yueguang’s fist was instantly crushed.
A hysterical scream suddenly echoed through the venue.
Everyone turned to look in shock.
Seeing Long Yueguang kneeling on the ground in pain, they understood what had happened.
“I knew he’d provoke Mr. Qin,” Su Fengxian sighed.
“After all, Long Yueguang has the backing of Longteng Group. Won’t Mr. Qin’s actions provoke their hostility?”
“This is Long Wanshan’s nephew. The other party will surely not let this go.”
“More drama to watch!”
“Rumor has it that the patriarch of Longteng Group is a Grandmaster. If Mr. Qin opposes Longteng Group, he will inevitably clash with a Grandmaster.”
“Young heroes are bound to be arrogant!”
“A Grandmaster is an extraordinary being. Mr. Qin’s poison probably won’t be effective.”
Everyone present watched the spectacle from a distance.
None of them dared to plead for Long Yueguang.
When gods fight, it’s better to stay far away.
“Let go of Young Master Long!” At this moment, Long Yueguang’s guards finally rushed over.
But in less than three seconds, Qin Hanchu had knocked them all out.
“I am Long Wanshan’s nephew… You… You dare…”
*Bang!*
Before Long Yueguang could finish his words, Qin Hanchu kicked him to the ground.
“Even if Long Wanshan provokes me, he won’t get off scot-free,” Qin Hanchu said indifferently. “If he’s not convinced, tell him to come find me!”
“You wait!” Long Yueguang, sweating profusely from the pain, shouted while clutching his crippled fist.
“I’ll wait,” Qin Hanchu replied with a smile.
“What’s going on?” Jin Hailu emerged from the restroom, asking curiously.
“The business didn’t go well; there was a bit of a conflict,” Qin Hanchu said.
Jin Hailu was even more puzzled. “Business? What business?”
“He asked me to name a price to give you to him,” Qin Hanchu smiled.
Jin Hailu glanced coldly at Long Yueguang, then asked, “What price did you name?”
“One hundred billion.”
“Am I worth that much in your eyes?” Jin Hailu said irritably.
“Of course, you’re a genuine rich and beautiful woman,” Qin Hanchu replied with a smile.
“This banquet probably won’t proceed. Let’s go.” With that, Jin Hailu walked towards the exit.
Qin Hanchu nodded and followed.
But as he passed Long Yueguang, he deliberately stepped on his leg.
It seemed like a light step, but everyone heard the crisp sound of bone cracking.
Long Yueguang’s scream confirmed that they hadn't misheard.
It wasn't until Qin Hanchu left that Su Fengxian and the others sent Long Yueguang to the hospital.
…
Returning home.
Lin Ying and Xinxin were sitting on the sofa watching television.
The takeout boxes were still on the coffee table.
“You’re back? Is the banquet over?” Lin Ying and Xinxin looked at Qin Hanchu and Jin Hailu curiously.
“An accident happened, and it ended early,” Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
“Did you cause the accident?” Lin Ying asked.
Qin Hanchu gave an awkward smile. “Sort of.”
“Tell us about it,” Xinxin asked curiously.
“Let Hailu tell you. I’ll go make something to eat.” After speaking, Qin Hanchu walked into the kitchen.
After a while, Qin Hanchu came out with two bowls of noodles.
By then, Xinxin had already tidied up the coffee table.
At Qin Hanchu’s invitation, Jin Hailu came over to eat with them.
“I just checked. Longteng Group is indeed very powerful. Besides their financial strength, the chairman, Long Wanshan, is a peak ninth-grade martial artist,” Xinxin said, looking at her phone in surprise.
“As far as I know, the patriarch of Longteng Group is at the Grandmaster realm! And he has been a Grandmaster for over ten years,” Lin Ying said.
“Grandmaster? That’s not bad; it’ll be a bit of fun,” Qin Hanchu replied casually while eating his noodles.
Qin Hanchu’s calm reaction left Lin Ying and the other two astonished.
That was a Grandmaster.
And Qin Hanchu was completely unfazed?
“You don’t even care about a Grandmaster?” Jin Hailu stopped eating her noodles and asked.
Qin Hanchu was about to nod but then felt it might be too shocking.
After some thought, he smiled and said, “My master has helped quite a few Grandmasters. Why should I fear him?”
“No wonder you’re so fearless,” Jin Hailu said, then continued eating her noodles.
Qin Hanchu didn’t offer further explanation. He smiled slightly and resumed eating.
The next morning, Qin Hanchu woke up as usual.
It was Sunday, so there was no school.
To avoid disturbing Jin Hailu and the other two from sleeping in, Qin Hanchu went to the balcony and slowly practiced his punches.
It wasn't until 7:30 AM that he started preparing breakfast.
At 8 AM, Jin Hailu was the first to come out.
Today, she was wearing a professional skirt suit, clearly going to work.
“Going to work?” Qin Hanchu asked.
Jin Hailu nodded. “Yes.”
“I’ll serve you your meal.” Saying this, Qin Hanchu turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at Qin Hanchu’s retreating back, Jin Hailu felt a sense of warmth.
The last time she felt this way was when her parents were alive.
Just as Jin Hailu finished washing up, her phone rang.
After answering the call, she said to Qin Hanchu beside her, “You’ll have to come to the company with me today.”
“What for? Is it because Long Yueguang went to the company to cause trouble?” Qin Hanchu asked.
“It’s not Long Yueguang. It’s Lin Jiaxue. She wants to see you.”
“What’s there to see her for? I’m not going,” Qin Hanchu refused outright.
Since Qin Hanchu didn’t want to go, Jin Hailu didn’t force him.
Once she got to the company, she would simply ask Lin Jiaxue to leave.
