Hearing Zheng Xingyan's voice on the phone, Zhu Weicheng was stunned.
A look of disbelief then appeared on his face.
Was this real?
Was Zheng Xingyan actually coming over to apologize?
And what did he mean by rolling in or kneeling his way in?
If he hadn't been genuinely terrified, given Zheng Xingyan's status, he would absolutely never say such a thing.
Wasn't Lin Yuting's phone call just now to Lin Tiannan?
Although Lin Tiannan certainly had considerable influence domestically, it absolutely couldn't be great enough to make Zheng Xingyan this afraid, right?
Amidst his surprise and confusion, Zhu Weicheng quickly snapped back to reality and turned to Qin Ning, saying, "Young Master Qin... it's Zheng Xingyan. He says he wants to come in and apologize to you..."
"Just let him come straight in," Qin Ning said calmly.
"Understood, Young Master Qin."
Zhu Weicheng nodded, then spoke directly to Zheng Xingyan on the phone, "Young Master Qin says you can come in."
Soon after hanging up the phone, Zheng Xingyan cautiously pushed open the door to the private room and walked in, trembling.
With a thud, he dropped straight to his knees, his voice quivering as he said, "Young Master Qin... and all you young masters, I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai just now. Please forgive me, and please don't take offense."
"Stand up and speak," Qin Ning glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Y-yes... understood, Young Master Qin."
Hearing this, Zheng Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He could tell that this Young Master Qin clearly didn't plan on stooping to his level.
"Go get your hair cut and change your clothes. Look at you, looking like a dressed-up dog. The next time I see you, if you're still dressed like this, don't blame me for beating you so badly even your mother won't recognize you," Wang Er said.
"I'll cut it! I'll definitely cut it!"
Zheng Xingyan agreed cautiously.
At this moment, Xia Fei also spoke up, "We happen to be planning to buy cars. You will foot the bill. Have the cars parked at the hotel entrance for us before tomorrow morning. Can you do that?"
"Cars?"
Hearing this, Zheng Xingyan froze slightly. "No problem!"
At this hour, although the dealerships were already closed, the Zheng family owned several dealerships in Lingyang City. With just one phone call from him, what car couldn't be delivered?
"Don't agree so easily. We want the same supercar model as Young Master Zhu, the one parked downstairs."
Cai Cheng said, glancing at Zhu Weicheng again. "Is it called something like 'Huami 9527'? The car brands on your Weixing planet are really weird."
"Huami 9527?"
Zheng Xingyan paused for a second, then nodded again. "No problem, there happen to be a few left in the store..."
"Just a few?"
Zhou Ping'an frowned. "Who is that enough for? Look at how many people we have here. If the rich kids of your Weixing planet see us, they'll think we can't afford them. Add a few more, one for each person!"
"One for each person?"
Hearing these words, Zheng Xingyan was a bit dumbfounded.
He had thought it would just be a few cars, but if it was one for each person, that would be somewhat difficult.
"Is there a problem?" Liu Silin asked.
"N-no... no problem!"
Zheng Xingyan gritted his teeth. "I guarantee they will be delivered by tomorrow morning!"
Even though there were only a few Huami 9527s in Lingyang City, he could have people airfreight them over from other parts of the country!
This was not a difficult matter at all.
One must know, Jingdu and Jianghai City were separated by half a hemisphere. Last time, when Elder Wu went to the Lin family, the aircraft he took only needed half an hour to arrive. In a place like Weixing, air freight was extremely convenient.
"Alright, you can go out first," Qin Ning waved his hand.
"Understood, Young Master Qin. Please take your time eating, I won't disturb you any longer."
Zheng Xingyan replied subserviently, then turned around and left the private room.
However, he didn't leave the hotel. Instead, he went to the corridor outside the private room, pulled out his phone directly, and made a call. "Dad, the matter is considered resolved..."
He then recounted the entire process in meticulous detail, and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is this Young Master Qin's background? To think he could actually make Elder Wu personally call you."
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
"Besides, regardless of his identity, he is definitely not someone we can afford to offend. You just said Huami 9527, right? I'll call someone right now to have them airfreighted over."
Zheng Xingyan nodded. "Okay, Dad. Then I'll wait here at the hotel. Hurry up, you must have them delivered before tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xingyan obediently stood in the corridor, not going anywhere.
About an hour or so later, Qin Ning and the others finally finished their meal and walked out of the private room.
He immediately went up to greet them. "Young Master Qin, I've already had someone arrange the matter concerning the cars."
Qin Ning nodded slightly without speaking. Xia Fei, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Consider yourself tactful, kid. But remember to cut your hair and change your clothes."
"Understood," Zheng Xingyan replied.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of Zheng Xingyan and Zhu Weicheng, Qin Ning and the others took the elevator upstairs.
"Phew..."
Only after they left did Zheng Xingyan finally let out a long breath. He couldn't help but ask Zhu Weicheng beside him, "Young Master Zhu, what exactly is this Young Master Qin's background?"
"I'm not sure either."
Zhu Weicheng shrugged. "However, there is a girl by his side. It's Lin Yuting, the eldest miss of the Lin family from Jianghai City. You should have heard of her. Even Eldest Miss Lin acts incredibly respectful in front of him."
The Lin family of Jianghai City?
Zheng Xingyan frowned. Of course, he had heard people talk about Lin Yuting, but on the surface, the Lin family was merely the wealthiest family in Jianghai City. In terms of financial power, they weren't much stronger than their Zheng family.
This made it very hard to guess Qin Ning's specific identity.
"Stop overthinking it. Young Master Qin's identity isn't something people like us can know. Isn't it enough that he didn't stoop to your level?"
Zhu Weicheng spoke, then continued, "Are you going to wait here for the cars to be delivered?"
"Of course," Zheng Xingyan nodded.
"Alright, but you have to drive me back first. I just had some to drink."
Saying so, Zhu Weicheng handed his car keys to Zheng Xingyan.
Soon, the two got into the car and drove all the way toward a high-end villa district in the city center.
"Honk..."
At a traffic light intersection, just as Zheng Xingyan parked the car and was waiting for the red light, suddenly, the sound of a horn blared from the street on the left.
The two looked over, only to see an out-of-control large truck hurtling toward them at an extremely fast speed.
Zhu Weicheng was instantly scared sober and shouted loudly, "Quick! Back up quickly!"
"I-I... I'm backing up... I'm backing up!" Zheng Xingyan also yelled.
However, it seemed everything was too late.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the large truck slammed head-on into them and then rolled over. The heavy cargo box collapsed, smashing directly on top of the sports car.
The entire car was instantly crushed as flat as a piece of paper.

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.
