"Xing Que stands above the four great families, and I've heard their organization also cooperates with the United Nations. The elders hold guarantee cards that can provide criminal bail for anyone globally, and the Hall Master can directly take a person away," Jiang Si said. "If we can reach the Hall Master and ask for help, Fourth Master can be out very soon."
"Who told you that?" Huang Fengqiang asked doubtfully.
"My cousin's girlfriend works at Xing Que. She knows Bei Ming, the special assistant to the Xing Que Hall Master, and she heard the news from him," Jiang Si replied.
"But the Xing Que Hall Master's identity is mysterious. Even people who work at Xing Que might not have seen him. Where can we find him?" one of the management asked.
"We don't know the identity or whereabouts of the Xing Que Hall Master, but Bei Ming must know," Huang Hang said. "Secretary Jiang, we can give your cousin's girlfriend some benefits to help arrange a meeting with Bei Ming. The rest should be fine to find out the Xing Que Hall Master's whereabouts from Bei Ming.
"Once we get his whereabouts, we'll offer some benefits to the Xing Que Hall Master to get him to help."
Jiang Si shook her head. "Ordinary benefits probably won't work. We'd need some rare treasures to catch the Xing Que Hall Master's eye."
"Our Huang family has a Dragon Gallstone that's several hundred years old. We can offer that."
Huang Fengqiang heard this and quickly advised, "Dad, that's a family heirloom passed down for dozens of generations..."
"What's a family heirloom compared to rescuing Fourth Master? If it weren't for Fourth Master and Fourth Madam, would we have what we have today?" Huang Hang interrupted him.
He continued passionately, "Now that Fourth Master and Fourth Madam are in trouble, we can't be ungrateful. We should stand up and help them at this time, show our loyalty, and when they overcome this hardship, we'll definitely be rewarded!"
"That's right. Fourth Master is usually very generous to us. If he knew we would even offer an ancestral treasure for his bail, he would be very touched, and might even return it to us in full. We wouldn't lose anything. On the contrary, if Fourth Master can't get out and Seventh Master takes over, we'll just have to pack up and leave," said one of the managers.
Everyone found their reasoning sound, and their spirits were immediately ignited. They each brought out their family heirlooms and began planning to save Qin Yonghao.
As long as they found the Xing Que Hall Master and bailed Fourth Master out, Qin Beiting wouldn't stand a chance of returning to the group headquarters!
They acted immediately.
***
Xing Que - Tianyi Pavilion
Qin Beiting was handling official business when he faintly heard a commotion outside. A moment later, Bei Ming knocked and entered, saying,
"Brother Ting, Li Si Chen is causing a scene outside, demanding to see you. He injured eight people, and some couldn't stop him."
Qin Beiting finished replying to the email he had just approved. "Let him in."
"Yes." Bei Ming responded and went out. Shortly after, Li Si Chen barged in angrily.
"Qin Beiting, on what grounds did you invalidate my guarantee card?!"
Qin Beiting unhurriedly finished the work on his desk. "On the grounds that I am the Xing Que Hall Master."
Li Si Chen choked, "You're using your power for personal revenge!"
"So what? What can you do to me?!" Qin Beiting raised an eyebrow.
Li Si Chen: So infuriating, he dislikes him but can't do anything about it.
"Huang Ying was the one who killed Shu Yun'er and planted the bomb. What does Qin Fourth Master have to do with it?" he added.
Qin Yonghao had helped him during his most difficult times. He was the greatest benefactor in his life.
This benefactor was more important to him than his own father. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to compete with Qin Beiting in everything after Qin Yonghao casually said, "You're not as good as Qin Beiting."
"What business is it of yours?" Qin Beiting retorted coldly.
Li Si Chen laughed in anger, his eyes narrowing as he guessed,
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You're detaining Fourth Master so that the Qin family has no one available and has to rely on you?"
He had recently heard that Qin Yongchao intended to invite Qin Beiting back to the group headquarters to take Qin Yonghao's place.
Qin Beiting sneered. He disdained the Qin family's meager wealth.
However, seeing that Li Si Chen had misunderstood, he not only didn't refute but also went along with his words, "Your mind is still sharp."
"Didn't you have great aspirations and swear you'd never return to Qin's Group headquarters? Why are you resorting to underhanded tactics now? Doesn't your face hurt?" Li Si Chen suddenly thought of something. "Or are you afraid that Yu He will work with me at Qin's Group and develop feelings for me, then run off with me!"
He could only think that the biggest possibility for Qin Beiting to change his mind was because of Yu He.
Qin Beiting ignored his provocation. "Do I need to report my actions to you? Are you worthy?!"
"Fine, you wait. Don't think you can bring down Fourth Master like this!" Li Si Chen said, then turned and slammed the door shut as he left.
Outside Tianyi Pavilion, the guards who were originally on duty had been injured by Li Si Chen and sent for treatment. New guards were being brought in.
Jiang Si's cousin's girlfriend seized this opportunity to bring Huang Hang over.
The moment they reached the entrance, Li Si Chen was coming out. Huang Hang was overjoyed. Was Li Si Chen also looking for the Xing Que Hall Master to bail out Fourth Master?
He had vaguely heard Li Si Chen mention Fourth Master earlier.
Li Si Chen had a good relationship with Fourth Master. He must also be here to ask for a bail for Fourth Master!
With Li Si Chen accompanying them, their chances of success would be even higher!
"Young Master Chen..."
However, as soon as Huang Hang spoke, Li Si Chen walked past without even looking at them.
Huang Hang felt a bit awkward. At this moment, he saw Bei Ming and Qin Beiting walking out. His first thought was:
No wonder Young Master Chen left in a huff. It must be that Qin Beiting also came to find Bei Ming to stop Fourth Master from getting out, which angered Young Master Chen.
Then his arrival was too timely!
He absolutely couldn't let Qin Beiting succeed!
"Assistant Bei, hello. I am Huang Hang from the Huang family. This is our Huang family's ancestral Dragon Gallstone, nearly a thousand years old. Please take a look. Can it be presented to the Hall Master?"
Huang Hang immediately stepped forward and opened the Dragon Gallstone he had brought.
Bei Ming was displeased by his abrupt arrival and was about to call the bodyguards to throw him out when Qin Beiting raised his hand, signaling him to wait.
"What business do you have with the Hall Master?" Qin Beiting asked.
He had heard of the Huang family's ancestral Dragon Gallstone. It was quite rare. He wondered if the young lady would like it.
Huang Hang thought to himself, Assistant Bei hasn't spoken yet, why are you interfering?
"I want to ask the Hall Master to bail out Qin Fourth Master!" he said, with a hint of undisguised provocation in his tone.
Qin Beiting's eyebrows furrowed. Bei Ming immediately reprimanded, "Who allowed you to come here?! Get out!"
Huang Hang was caught off guard and didn't know where he had said the wrong thing. He was then dragged out by the guards who had just come on duty, and Jiang Si's cousin's girlfriend also lost her job because of this.
Qin Beiting left Xing Que and returned to the VIP ward of the hospital's inpatient department. Yu He was not there.
"Where is she?" he asked Qi Nan.
"Sister-in-law went out. She seems to have gone to the cemetery," Qi Nan replied.
