Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 23 You Are No Less

As the eldest young master of the Chai family, Chai Xiao had been pampered since childhood.

In Island City, how many dared to disrespect him?

But after meeting Qin Hanchu, he had been disgraced time and time again.

This time, he was actually defecated upon by a security guard standing on his head!

"Jin Hailu, you are my fiancée, yet you let this dog security guard make me lose face!"

Chai Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Watch your mouth!" Chai Xiao's insults caused the security guard's gaze to turn cold.

At this moment, Qin Hanchu sensed a surging killing intent from him.

This kind of killing intent was only possessed by those who had taken lives.

And the surging killing intent from the security guard could not have been accumulated from just one or two lives.

Chai Xiao could feel the chilling killing intent, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes.

"When did I become your fiancée?" Jin Hailu questioned angrily.

"If it weren't for me, could you have returned to Jinshi Group?" Chai Xiao felt something was wrong. Had Old Madam Jin not explained things clearly to Jin Hailu?

"You're overthinking it. My return to Jinshi Group has nothing to do with you!" Jin Hailu said.

"You wait, I'll call Old Madam Jin right now." Chai Xiao quickly took out his phone and dialed Old Madam Jin's number.

However, Old Madam Jin directly hung up Chai Xiao's call.

Chai Xiao was stunned. What did this mean?

Old Madam Jin actually refused to take his call!

The Chai family was the lifeline of Jinshi Group. Shouldn't Old Madam Jin dote on him?

"Young Master Chai, it's time to settle our bet, isn't it?" Qin Hanchu walked towards Chai Xiao with a smile.

"I warn you..."

*Slap!*

Before Chai Xiao could finish his threatening words, Qin Hanchu's slap had already landed fiercely on Chai Xiao's face.

In less than three seconds, Chai Xiao's face turned red and swollen.

"I'll warn you too, don't come and disgust me from time to time."

"I don't care about Han Group, and your Chai family won't scare me either."

Although Jin Hailu wasn't his official fiancée yet, they still had an engagement.

Since Chai Xiao was pursuing Jin Hailu, Qin Hanchu naturally had to defend his territory.

"You wait!" Chai Xiao cursed angrily, covering his face as he left Jin Hailu's office.

Jin Hailu shook her head helplessly, "Your temper..."

"He lost the bet with me, so he has to accept the consequences of losing." Qin Hanchu said.

"Even though you have powerful backing, favors are consumables. It's better to be low-key," Jin Hailu's expression remained indifferent, but her tone was much gentler.

"Understood." Qin Hanchu replied first, then asked the security guard beside him, "You must be an eighth-rank martial artist, right? Why are you working as a mere security guard at Shengshi Group?"

"My girlfriend works here, I want to spend more time with her," the security guard replied calmly.

Qin Hanchu didn't ask further. He believed that this security guard had no ill intentions.

"Are you interested in becoming the commander of Jinshi's guards? The salary is one million a year!"

Jin Hailu appeared calm, but she was extremely shocked internally.

She hadn't expected that there was an eighth-rank martial arts master hidden in the company.

Someone so powerful working as a security guard was a complete waste of talent.

"I'm sorry, I just want a peaceful life," the security guard said apologetically.

Jin Hailu nodded, "I understand, I respect your choice."

The security guard smiled and nodded, then turned to walk outside.

When he reached the door, Qin Hanchu suddenly said, "Having provoked the eldest young master of the Chai family, your peaceful life will be difficult to continue."

"The Chai family? I don't even put them in my eyes." With that, the security guard walked out.

"That tone is like a protagonist in a novel, very domineering," Qin Hanchu praised.

"You're not much different," Jin Hailu said.

"I'm just a barefoot doctor, very low-key," Qin Hanchu smiled.

Jin Hailu gave Qin Hanchu a strange look, then asked, "How is Old Master Su doing?"

"He won't die," Qin Hanchu said casually as he sat down on the sofa.

Jin Hailu nodded. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?" Qin Hanchu asked.

"For giving me Jinshi Group, of course I have to thank you."

"Jinshi Group was always yours, it wasn't me who gave it to you," Qin Hanchu smiled.

After Qin Hanchu finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

For a moment, it seemed like there was no topic to continue discussing.

The atmosphere in the office grew increasingly awkward.

"How many engagements did Divine Doctor Hu arrange for you? It shouldn't just be me and Lin Jiaxue, right?"

After a long time, Jin Hailu finally brought up a new topic.

"Including you two, there are a total of nine engagements."

"My master instructed me before he passed away that if I felt any of them were unsuitable, I should break off the engagement and not delay you."

Qin Hanchu replied.

"Divine Doctor Hu was truly good to you, choosing so many fiancées for you."

"In that case, my chance of being chosen by you isn't very high."

Jin Hailu was greatly shocked. She hadn't expected Hu Qingshan to arrange so many engagements for Qin Hanchu.

Given Hu Qingshan's discernment, those he chose must all be from distinguished families.

"Love is a matter between two people."

"If you truly don't like me, I will respect your choice."

"An engagement is just an agreement; it doesn't mean I can choose you like commodities."

Qin Hanchu's view on love was the same as that of ordinary people. He wouldn't force others out of possessiveness.

As he said, love is a matter between two people.

Only when they truly love each other will they be happy and sweet together.

"I didn't expect your values to be so upright."

At this moment, Jin Hailu's opinion of Qin Hanchu changed.

At least her previous resistance was gone.

She was willing to get to know Qin Hanchu with a normal mindset.

...

On the city roads, a Mercedes-Benz weaved through the traffic.

In the back seat, Chai Xiao, covering his face, grew more and more indignant.

Qin Hanchu actually dared to hit him!

This grudge could not go unavenged.

And that security guard, he couldn't be let off either!

"Call Chen Jun and tell him to bring people to arrest that security guard."

Chai Xiao knew Qin Hanchu's strength was formidable, and his family's guards couldn't deal with Qin Hanchu, so he planned to retaliate against the security guard first.

Qin Hanchu's strength was greater than the security guard's, so he could infer the security guard's true strength.

But Chai Xiao's two guards did not have such high discernment.

In their eyes, Chai Xiao was, at best, at the late stage of the seventh rank.

Chen Jun was the head of the Chai family's guards, possessing the strength of the early stage of the eighth rank.

With his intervention, it was absolutely a sure thing.

After his subordinate finished calling Chen Jun, Chai Xiao dialed Han Liang's number.

The call was connected, and Han Liang's voice came from the phone: "Chai Xiao, why are you calling me?"

"I just encountered Qin Hanchu at Jinshi Group. How is he still unharmed?"

"Our business circles in Island City are all watching this matter."

Chai Xiao's words made Han Liang furious. He heard him say coldly, "He will die soon, just you wait."

With that, Han Liang directly hung up the phone.
