After that, the female clerk glanced at Qin Qinghan with some contempt, and said, "Follow me."
The female clerk led Qin Qinghan to a very large glass window, and said to a middle-aged man inside, "She's here to redeem something, I'll leave her to you."
After saying that, the female clerk went to play on her phone.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to Qin Qinghan in a neither cold nor hot manner, and said, "Give me the receipt."
Qin Qinghan hurriedly handed the receipt to the middle-aged man.
However, when the middle-aged man glanced at the receipt, a strange look suddenly appeared on his originally plain expression.
Then he said to the female clerk playing on her phone outside, "Manager Li, come here for a moment."
The female clerk was clearly somewhat impatient, but still entered through a side security door.
Qin Qinghan felt puzzled, but saw the middle-aged man saying something to the female clerk, while glancing at herself from time to time. Her intuition told Qin Qinghan that this was probably not a good thing.
Soon, the female clerk walked out from inside. She handed the receipt back to Qin Qinghan, and said expressionlessly, "We don't have the ring you mentioned here."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qinghan's eyebrows immediately wrinkled. She took the receipt and asked again, "But this receipt is indeed from Xihutang Pawn Shop. Please take another look."
The impatience in the female clerk's eyes grew thicker. She snorted, "If we don't have it, we don't have it. No matter how much extra you pay, pestering me further will make me call security."
At this time, the two security guards holding rubber batons slowly walked towards Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan was no fool. She could sense something wrong here. Could it be that they did not want her to redeem the high-quality imitation ring?
"Miss, please leave," one of the security guards said to Qin Qinghan coldly.
Qin Qinghan took two steps back. She wanted to leave but was also unwilling. She bit her lip and said, "I...I can pay more commission. I just want to get the ring back."
Seeing that Qin Qinghan was stubborn, the female clerk said coldly, "It's not here so it's not here. No matter how much extra you pay, it won't appear. Leave now or I'll have the guards throw you out."
The two security guards put away their batons, their eyes filling with lewd laughter. Having a beauty like this get roughed up a bit during bodily contact would also be fine.
Thinking this, the two men slowly approached Qin Qinghan.
"What's going on here?"
Just after the two men approached Qin Qinghan by two steps, a vigorous male voice rang out.
Everyone looked back to see four men in suits walking out from the pawn shop.
The middle-aged man walking in front had a slightly thin figure, but his gaze revealed an aura of prestige without anger. One could sense a slyness and depth from him.
Seeing the newcomer, the female clerk and two security guards hurriedly shouted in unison, "Good day, Director Chen."
Facing this middle-aged man's aura, the female clerk and security guards were extremely serious, seeming extremely afraid of him.
Even Qin Qinghan felt nervous meeting the middle-aged man's gaze.
The middle-aged man's impatient gaze lingered on Qin Qinghan for a while, also seeming stunned by her city-toppling beauty and pure temperament.
Soon after, the middle-aged man snorted at the female clerk, "What's going on here?"
The female clerk obeyed and said, "Director Chen, this woman came to redeem a ring."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned, "Useless fool, even a small ring can cause trouble for a customer?"
The female clerk's face turned pale white. "But...we never received a ring from her. This miss is making trouble groundlessly."
Hearing this, the suspicion in the middle-aged man's gaze towards Qin Qinghan instantly turned malicious.
Just then, the middle-aged man from the counter walked to the side of the middle-aged man and whispered something to him.
Following that, the malice in the middle-aged man's eyes grew sharper. He said to Qin Qinghan, "Miss, even daring to falsely accuse and swindle in my store, do you know who I, Xihufeng Hei of Xihutang, am? You dare try to cheat me."
Upon hearing the four words "Xihufeng Hei of Xihutang", Qin Qinghan's face instantly turned pale white. Although she had never seen Xihufeng Hei before, she was very clear that Xihufeng Hei was as famously ruthless as Donglong Bawang Jiang Hao.
In fact, it could be said that Xihufeng Hei started over 10 years earlier than Jiang Hao.
She had heard that this man was extremely vicious. He once broke the legs of an entire village of 1000 people over a land dispute.
Qin Qinghan involuntarily retreated several steps, but she still had some stubbornness in her soft-hearted nature. Keeping her head low, she said, "You...you are clearly bullying your customers. You can check the surveillance recordings. If there really is no such thing, I...I will apologize in person."
"Insolent fool, not even a police officer dares speak to me like that. Throw her out!" The middle-aged man's tone suddenly rose, his face showing more gloom.
Whoosh!
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a bodyguard behind him flashed over to Qin Qinghan and slapped towards her face.
This slap was fast and fierce, without any intention of showing mercy to a beauty.
Crash...rustle~!
Just then, the glass doors of the shop let out a muffled crashing sound. The over 2-meter tall glass doors shattered with a boom.
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound rang out as shards of glass flew over lightning-fast, accurately hitting the bodyguard's palm and directly piercing through it.
"Ah!"
The bodyguard let out a miserable shriek, and the palm about to slap Qin Qinghan's face instantly pulled back. Crimson blood splattered all over the floor.
"Chen Yuanzhong, you've still got some nerve bullying a woman with a group of men. As always, you're completely unprincipled!"
Following that, a low and cold voice rang out from outside the shattered glass doors.
Hearing this familiar voice, complicated emotions flashed across Qin Qinghan's pale face, but she also felt a sense of safety in her heart.
She turned to look, and saw Ye Fengwu dressed in black zhongshan suit walking slowly towards her. However, his handsome face revealed a bone-chilling anger.
Seeing Ye Fengwu, Chen Yuanzhong's brows furrowed. His sly gaze now held some apprehension as he snorted, "Ye Fengzi, so you're finally out of prison."
Ye Fengwu laughed coldly, "Thanks to you, I wonder if your son Chen Sheng's leg has healed yet?"
Ye Fengwu's tone revealed mockery and chill. Back then, he had been drugged and harmed the 16-year old Qin Qinghan. The root of everything was Xihufeng Hei Chen Yuanzhong and his debauched son Chen Sheng, whose leg he had broken.
Chen Yuanzhong seemed to have long expected that Ye Fengwu had found out he was behind framing him to prison. But he had no idea that Qin Qinghan was that exploited girl from back then.
Just then, the two bodyguards behind Chen Yuanzhong walked forward, looking to beat up this punk causing trouble in their shop until he begged for mercy.
However, they had just taken two steps forward when Chen Yuanzhong stretched out a hand to stop them. He glanced at Ye Fengwu and snorted indifferently, "Spare yourself the effort. I've already found the best orthopedic doctor."
Ye Fengwu's mouth curled slightly as he mocked, "That's good to hear. Otherwise, after seeing him again, I won't have the chance to break both his legs."
Hearing the mockery and threat in Ye Fengwu's words, a fierceness flashed in Chen Yuanzhong's eyes, but he immediately suppressed that ferocious aura.
Then Chen Yuanzhong snorted, "Ye Fengzi, it seems my little shop has misunderstood this sister here."
Ye Fengwu suddenly walked to Qin Qinghan's side and put his arm around her soft waist. He said, "I came to find my wife, but happened to see the famous Xihufeng Hei bullying my woman."
By the end, Ye Fengwu's tone had become exceptionally cold, and his eyes revealed a ferocious killing intent.
Qin Qinghan wanted to leave Ye Fengwu's embrace, but her body was stiff and powerless. She could only stay in his arms with an uncomfortable expression.
Sensing the killing intent in Ye Fengwu's eyes, Chen Yuanzhong's heart sank. He said, "Ye Fengzi, I think there's been some misunderstanding between the sister and my little shop."
Hearing Chen Yuanz
Chen Yuanzhong's three bodyguards, two security guards, and the female manager were all shocked and at a loss for words when Ye Fengwu deliberately lowered his voice. Over the years, Chairman Chen had lorded over the entire Haihua City, when had he ever lowered his stance in front of anyone? Just who was this person called the Madman of the Night?
Ye Fengwu calmly said, "I seem to have heard about the ring, I wonder how much she sold it to you for?"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!
