Luo Bingque grabbed Qin Qinghan's left hand, attempting to put the Bihai Heart Ring on her hand. She smiled and said, "Sister, I was just joking with you. In fact, I don't have that kind of relationship with him, and the story about the ring was made up by me. Doesn't it feel very real?"
Luo Bingque's words seemed indifferent, making everyone think that she was indeed joking.
Qin Qinghan's eyes showed a hint of complexity. She always felt that this woman's character was unpredictable, and she couldn't tell which words were true and which were false. But she was certain that there was a connection between her and Ye Fengwu.
Qin Qinghan withdrew her hand from Luo Bingque's grasp and whispered, "I... I can back out."
At these words, Ye Fengwu, who was standing on the side, trembled violently. He was about to say something when he saw Luo Bingque giving him a meaningful look, indicating him not to interfere.
Then, Luo Bingque turned to Qin Qinghan again and said, "The person who knows me best is Yihuang. You can ask her if I'm the kind of person who easily falls in love with a man. Besides, this guy is a stinky rogue. He used to be involved in the underground world, although he has turned over a new leaf, he hasn't completely distanced himself from those people."
Listening to Luo Bingque's explanation, Qin Qinghan's complex feelings became even more chaotic. She thought to herself that what she said was true. Ye Fengwu was indeed a former ruffian, but did they really have no connection?
Luo Yihuang, who was beside them, remained silent. She truly understood Luo Bingque, so she was certain that her sister must have a relationship with Ye Fengwu.
Because, although her sister appeared to be like a fairy on the surface, she was actually a very conservative person. Not to mention being peeped at in the dressing room, even if a man touched her hand, the outcome would definitely be extremely miserable.
Therefore, she became even more suspicious of Ye Fengwu's identity. He was definitely not a simple ruffian, nor could he be a killer, because all of Luo Bingque's words seemed like a cover for him.
But what made Luo Yihuang feel uncomfortable the most was that her sister would actually get involved with such an annoying guy like Ye Fengwu.
Qin Qinghan's expression remained complex. She didn't accept the Bihai Heart Ring because it was too precious.
Seeing that Qin Qinghan refused to take it, Luo Bingque turned around and threw the Bihai Heart Ring to Ye Fengwu, as if treating this two hundred million dollar treasure as a casual plaything.
"Don't lose it again, okay?" Luo Bingque said to Ye Fengwu with a meaningful smile.
Ye Fengwu caught it in his hand. At this moment, his mood was also complex. Although Luo Bingque was a capricious fairy, she had a very proud and stubborn nature. She was not the kind of person who would back down in front of any woman.
But today, she willingly made a compromise in order to resolve the misunderstanding between her and Qin Qinghan.
Just as Ye Fengwu was torn in his heart, he heard Luo Bingque say in an annoyed tone, "Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to strip my sister naked as well?"
As soon as her words fell, Luo Yihuang's expression turned even colder, and Qin Qinghan looked resentful.
Ye Fengwu felt embarrassed and let out a forced laugh before rushing out of the room.
As Lin Yu arrived at the elevator entrance, the doors opened, and Ye Fengwu walked out, directly in her path.
Lin Yu nearly collided with Ye Fengwu, and her beautiful eyes were wide with surprise for a moment.
"What a coincidence, you work here too," greeted Ye Fengwu casually as he calmly stepped into the elevator.
Lin Yu's astonished gaze remained fixed on Ye Fengwu, as if she had seen a ghost. How could this guy appear in the company?
It wasn't until the moment the elevator doors closed that Lin Yu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran towards Luo Yihuang's office.
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Fenghao Hotel.
Fenghao Hotel was a super five-star hotel, luxuriously decorated, and the lobby on the ground floor was incredibly spacious.
Even so, it was almost overcrowded, with waiters handing trays of high-end red wine and champagne to each guest.
The people present were all CEOs and key employees from the headquarters or branches of Luo Phoenix Group, as well as CEOs of large, medium, and small companies who had made their fortunes through Luo Phoenix Group's support.
"I heard that the newly appointed CEO is a young woman in her twenties. I wonder what qualifications and abilities she has to catch Mr. Luo's eye."
Among the crowd, four men and one woman gathered together, seemingly engaged in a conversation.
The heavily made-up woman, wearing a gray-blue evening gown that accentuated her curves, turned her gaze to a man in his fifties next to her and disdainfully said, "General Manager Liang, everyone knows that you are the most qualified person to be the CEO. We all have reservations about Mr. Luo's arrangement."
Upon hearing this, the other three men nodded in agreement. One of them chimed in, "General Manager Liang, if you have any dissatisfaction, we can all stand by your side."
The person addressed as General Manager Liang was the Deputy General Manager of the headquarters, named Liang Xingguo. Before Qin Qinghan took office, he was unquestionably the second-in-command under the chairman.
Liang Xingguo was a middle-aged man who had gained some weight, with a Mediterranean hairstyle. Listening to the flattery of his subordinates, he couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Luo has his own plans for this arrangement. Perhaps our new CEO truly has the ability."
Although Liang Xingguo said this, his eyes were filled with disdain and a hint of resentment.
He was a veteran of Luo Phoenix Group, having made significant contributions to the company. He believed that the position of CEO belonged to him, but unexpectedly, a little girl with dyed hair had taken his place.
The woman who spoke earlier couldn't accept it and said, "General Manager Liang, you have a high standing in the company. You mustn't accept this just because of Mr. Luo's negligence. As long as you give the word, we will all support you."
The others nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Liang Xingguo's eyes gradually filled with a sense of smugness. He had connections and capabilities; how could he lose to a little girl with dyed hair?
At that moment, a tall figure suddenly passed by, and Liang Xingguo tensed up before quickly walking over with a glass of wine in hand.
"Brother Hao," Liang Xingguo politely greeted the tall figure.
Jiang Hao frowned and looked over, then said lightly, "Mr. Liang."
Jiang Hao didn't seem to care much about this person, but he knew that this guy was the Vice President of the Phoenix Group. They had some previous collaborations, and Jiang Hao had also helped him solve many troubles.
Liang Xingguo smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother Hao, just call me Lao Liang. I can't afford the title of Mr. Liang."
Today was a celebration banquet for Jiang Hao's sister-in-law, so he personally arranged it at the Fenghao Hotel. He had a lot of things to attend to and didn't want to chat with Liang Xingguo. Just as he was about to leave, Liang Xingguo called him back.
Liang Xingguo seemed to have a favor to ask and said with a smiling face, "Brother Hao, a few days ago, my son caused some trouble at a bar. Someone threatened to cripple his legs. I hope Brother Hao can help me resolve this issue. I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao said calmly, "I will make arrangements later."
After uttering these words, Jiang Hao turned and left.
Liang Xingguo's face brightened, and he repeatedly thanked Jiang Hao as he returned to the group of three men and one woman.
The woman smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, you are so acquainted with the Dragon Overlord."
In the entire Haihua City, who didn't know the reputation of the Dragon Overlord? Not to mention being friends, even having a slight connection with him would allow one to walk sideways in Haihua City.
The scene that the four people witnessed made it seem like Mr. Liang and the Dragon Overlord were not just acquaintances, but friends.
Mr. Liang's eyes carried a hint of pride as he said, "I have collaborated with Brother Hao a few times, and he has helped me a lot."
Upon hearing this, the envy in the eyes of the four people became even stronger.
At this moment, there was some commotion at the entrance, followed by three graceful figures walking slowly, surrounded by bodyguards.
The newcomers were Luo Yihuang, Qin Qinghan, and Luo Bingque.
Luo Yihuang was dressed in a sky-blue gown, accentuating her already slender and perfect figure. Her noble and dignified aura exuded an imperial charm as she walked.
Qin Qinghan wore a white evening gown, with curves that were no less charming than Luo Yihuang's. Even her waist-length black hair was elegantly coiled up, adding a touch of nobility to her gentle and graceful temperament.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
