"A gentleman? Is drugging my female companion's red wine a gentlemanly act?"
Recalling the scene just now, Er Zhu curved his lips, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Er Zhu had seen Cheng Liang long ago. He initially thought it was just ordinary socializing, but when a man secretly drugged Li Mei's red wine, he knew things were not simple!
To play such a trick in front of him was practically suicidal!
"Don't spout nonsense. I'm Young Master Qin's friend. How could I do something so despicable!"
Cheng Liang was stunned. A flicker of surprise and panic crossed his eyes. Young Master Liu had never been discovered doing such things before, but he never expected to be caught this time!
This kid really has some skills!
No wonder Old Man Fang invited him to the banquet!
"Yes, Mr. Cheng, we know him. He's always been very polite and wouldn't do such a vulgar thing!"
"Exactly. Besides, this is a banquet hosted by Old Man Fang. No one would offend Old Man Fang for a woman!"
...
As soon as Cheng Liang finished speaking, many guests stepped forward to plead for him. They didn't actually know Cheng Liang, but because of Cheng Liang's earlier words:
Young Master Qin's friend!
Young Master Qin was someone they could not afford to offend!
And this man in front of them seemed to be from a third-rate affluent family. They saw no reason to offend Young Master Qin for a young master of a third-rate affluent family!
"Heh, is that so?"
Er Zhu's eyes flickered as he saw through everyone's thoughts. He curved his lips, grabbed the already escaping Liu Shao, pinched his mouth, and forced him to drink the red wine!
Young Master Liu shook his head frantically, but Er Zhu's hand was like a vise, clamping down on him. Every last drop of the red wine was swallowed by him, including the poison!
In an instant, Young Master Liu's face turned red, and he felt an unbearable itch all over his body, as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling on him!
"Ah!"
Young Master Liu couldn't stand it anymore. He collapsed on the ground, rolling around. This was the most potent aphrodisiac, and the sensation was excruciating!
"My goodness, Young Master Cheng, you..."
"Heavens, to have such vulgar behavior at such a high-class banquet, it's suicidal!"
"Heh, looks like there's a good show to watch now."
Seeing Young Master Liu's pained state, everyone knew what kind of drug was in the red wine. They looked at Cheng Liang in disbelief, especially those who had just testified for him, who were now turning green with anger!
"Fine, since you've discovered it, I won't hide it from you anymore. Young Master Qin fancies your female companion, and it was Young Master Qin who sent me to get her."
Despite being discovered, Cheng Liang was not afraid. He decided to come clean.
In the entire Huabei City, there were very few people who dared to defy Young Master Qin. Forget a female companion, even a wife would have to be handed over willingly!
Bang!
Just as Cheng Liang thought Er Zhu would hand her over, Er Zhu kicked him away! Cheng Liang was sent flying!
Boom!
A tower of stacked wine glasses fifty meters away was shattered, and Cheng Liang landed amidst the shards of glass!
"Go back and tell Young Master Qin that he can't afford my woman!"
Cheng Liang, groaning in pain, got up. As he raised his head, he saw Er Zhu's icy eyes!
Seeing this, all the guests were shocked. But amidst their shock, they also realized that Er Zhu was a fool!
The Qin family, in Huabei City, only a handful of families dared to cross them. Even Old Man Fang treated Old Master Qin with respect. Yet this young man was so arrogant!
Er Zhu?
The name sounded like it came from the countryside. No wonder he was such a fool.
"You... you just wait!"
Cheng Liang gritted his teeth and shouted. He ran upstairs with all his might. Watching Cheng Liang's retreating back, Li Mei walked over worriedly.
"Er Zhu, perhaps we should ask Grandpa Fang to come. That Young Master Qin seems very powerful!"
Li Mei tugged at Er Zhu's sleeve, a hint of worry flashing in her shame-filled eyes. Her heart was pounding fast!
If Er Zhu offended a powerful magnate, how could he still establish himself in Huabei City!
"It's alright, I'll handle this."
Er Zhu gently embraced Li Mei, his eyes fixed on the room Cheng Liang had entered.
The Qin family was indeed powerful, but he, Er Zhu, was not weak either!
In a dimly lit private room, Young Master Qin swirled his wine glass, surrounded by various beautiful women fawning over him.
That's right, he wanted Li Mei to serve him tonight, but not just her!
"Young Master Qin, I've found out. This guy not only came from a small town but also from a village. He's here to develop in Huabei City."
At this moment, another young master from an affluent family placed his phone in front of Young Master Qin, obsequiously introducing Er Zhu's information.
Qin Chu never did anything without certainty. After Cheng Liang left, he had someone investigate Er Zhu's identity, though it was only the tip of the iceberg.
"Mm, you may leave. Cheng Liang should be back soon."
Qin Chu glanced at the information and waved his hand. He shed his bathrobe and awaited the arrival of the beauties.
That beauty was not only beautiful and well-figured, but her demeanor was also ethereal and refined. Only such women were qualified to be in his bed!
"All of you, leave." Thinking of Li Mei, Qin Chu suddenly felt that the beauties beside him were nothing special. He waved them away.
It was the first time he had only one beauty serve him since he came of age. That woman should feel honored!
"Young Master Qin..."
Just then, the door was pushed open, but Qin Chu saw not a beauty, but a blood-soaked Cheng Liang!
"What is the meaning of this?" Qin Chu's pupils contracted, a flicker of anger in his eyes as he pointed at Cheng Liang, who was slumped on the ground.
Cheng Liang, embellishing the truth, recounted everything that had just happened. Qin Chu's face remained expressionless, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Oh my, this man is quite bold to threaten Young Master Qin like that!"
"Heh, I think he's an idiot. Offending Young Master Qin for a woman, what was he thinking!"
"Young Master Qin, that man was truly arrogant. He didn't take you seriously at all!"
...
Before the beauties could finish speaking, Cheng Liang spoke again. The piercing pain made him furious. He had decided to use Young Master Qin's hand to kill that arrogant fellow!
"Take me to him!"
Qin Chu's face remained impassive, but his fists were audibly cracking!
He had never been so presumptuous in front of him since he was a child!
He wanted to see what qualifications this country bumpkin had to dare offend him!
"He's downstairs, Young Master Qin. I... I'm in too much pain. I can't go with you."
A sly smile appeared on Cheng Liang's lips. His eyes flickered, and he weakly lay down on the ground again, pointing with his blood-covered body.
Given that kid's cleverness, he would surely realize it was his doing soon. He didn't want to lose face in front of everyone like Young Master Liu!
"Gather all the bodyguards at the entrance and await my command!" Qin Chu nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the banquet downstairs.
