Yacht

...

Qin Ning had them drive the cars to the hotel's underground parking lot.

At first, Zhu Weicheng and Zheng Xingyan were puzzled, but when they saw with their own eyes Qin Ning wave his hand and make twenty sports cars completely disappear right in front of them, the two were once again dumbfounded.

Although the two already knew Qin Ning's methods were definitely not simple after the car accident last night, seeing this ability to store objects out of thin air with their own eyes still delivered a massive shock to their hearts.

Soon, Qin Fei and her group also came downstairs. Everyone boarded a bus together. Zhu Weicheng and Zheng Xingyan naturally did not want to miss this opportunity to cling to Qin Ning's coattails, so they also got on the bus to act as their tour guides.

They first went to the Winter World in the northern part of the city, visiting various scenic spots and historical sites, enjoying activities like skiing and mountain climbing.

Towards evening, the group arrived at the seaside in the south of the city. Zheng Xingyan directly rented out two large ocean-view villas, set up barbecue grills, and took charge of grilling meat skewers for everyone alongside Zhu Weicheng.

"Young Master Qin, my cousin is celebrating his birthday tomorrow and has chartered a yacht. Would you all like to go on board and have some fun?" Zheng Xingyan brought over a large plate of grilled meat skewers, asking with a fawning expression.

Qin Ning did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the people around him, seemingly asking for their opinions.

"I want to go," Qin Fei was the first to raise her hand.

Cheng Weiyang picked up a meat skewer, took a bite, and then said, "I want to go too."

"Will the yacht be going out to sea? I happen to want to see how the ocean on Planet Wei differs from our Earth's ocean," Su Xingwan spoke up.

Everyone started chattering and discussing among themselves. Seeing that they all had the desire to go, Qin Ning then turned to Zheng Xingyan and said, "Alright, you arrange it."

"Understood, Young Master Qin."

Joy appeared on Zheng Xingyan's face. He then helped fill their glasses with wine before turning around to leave, returning to Zhu Weicheng's side.

He took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Cousin."

From the phone, his cousin He Mingyun's voice came through.

"Tomorrow, Young Master Zhu and I will head over, and we're bringing some friends. There might be quite a few people, so remember to reserve a spot. Clear out a larger area for us, preferably the kind of place where others can't just casually come over and disturb us," Zheng Xingyan solemnly instructed.

"Okay, Cousin. Just let me know roughly how many people. The yacht is quite big, so I can easily clear out space for you."

He Mingyun agreed, though he was also curious in his heart.

Of course, he knew who the Young Master Zhu his cousin mentioned was—Zhu Weicheng.

But apart from Zhu Weicheng, there were only a handful of top-tier young masters in Lingyang City. Who could these other friends his cousin mentioned possibly be?

"Including me and Young Master Zhu, there will be about twenty people. Remember, these friends of mine have somewhat special identities. You must arrange everything perfectly and don't cause any trouble for me. Otherwise, even if my uncle comes, I'll still have to give you a thrashing," Zheng Xingyan warned again.

"Got it, Cousin."

Listening to this, although He Mingyun felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, he still agreed and then hung up the phone.

"What's wrong, Young Master He?"

Inside a private dining room, the people eating with He Mingyun were all young masters from other places. At this moment, seeing him hang up the phone, a young man in his twenties asked curiously, noticing that He Mingyun seemed a bit displeased.

"It's nothing much. Tomorrow, my cousin is bringing some friends over to attend my birthday party, and he asked me to arrange and clear out a space."

He shook his head. What displeased him wasn't this, but the last sentence Zheng Xingyan had said on the phone: what did he mean by 'even if my uncle comes, I'll still have to give you a thrashing'?

Zheng Xingyan's uncle was none other than He Mingyun's father, He Wenyuan, the top official of Lingyang City.

His cousin's words just now were clearly a bit too arrogant.

"Heh, Young Master Zheng? Why didn't that guy come to eat with us tonight?" The person speaking was named Li Jiaquan, the son of the top official of Dan Province, to which Lingyang City belonged.

He and He Mingyun were university classmates and had always been on very good terms. Therefore, for He Mingyun's birthday this time, Li Jiaquan had specially rushed over from the provincial capital.

Aside from Li Jiaquan, almost everyone else in the private room was also a young master from the provincial capital.

Since Zheng Xingyan hadn't come to tonight's dinner, Li Jiaquan actually felt a little unhappy about it.

He felt that the other party had not given him any face at all.

"He might really be a bit busy. Young Master Li, please don't take offense. I'll toast you a glass on his behalf," He Mingyun said with a smile.

...

The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Ning and the others woke up one after another. After eating breakfast together, they boarded the bus again and headed toward a certain port in Lingyang City.

About half an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of the port.

A massive yacht was parked there. Having received a call from Zheng Xingyan, He Mingyun came over immediately to welcome them.

He smiled and reached out his hand, greeting Zhu Weicheng and Zheng Xingyan separately, before looking at Qin Ning and the others. He said, "Cousin, aren't you going to introduce them?"

"This is Young Master Qin."

Zheng Xingyan spoke, and then separately introduced Wang Er, Xia Fei, and the rest.

This instantly made He Mingyun even more puzzled in his heart.

What Young Master Qin, what Young Master Wang, what Young Master Xia? How come he had never heard of these figures before?

"You don't have the qualifications to inquire about the origins of Young Master Qin and the others. Just remember absolutely not to offend them and entertain them well. Take us on board first," Zheng Xingyan whispered into his ear.

As soon as these words were spoken, He Mingyun frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased in his heart again.

What did he mean by not having the qualifications to inquire?

As the dignified son of the top official of Lingyang City, could it be that he didn't have the qualifications?

Besides, today was his birthday.

You bring people over, yet as the host, I don't even know the backgrounds of the guests. How could that be acceptable?

Although he thought this way in his heart, He Mingyun didn't say much. He directly led the way, bringing Qin Ning and his group into a large KTV private room on the yacht.

After settling them in, He Mingyun planned to leave first. After all, there were still many friends on the yacht, including Li Jiaquan from the provincial capital, whom he dared not neglect for too long.

Zheng Xingyan followed him out the door of the private room and said, "Don't say your cousin doesn't look out for you. Later, make sure you come over and toast a glass of wine to Young Master Qin and the others."

"Cousin, what exactly is this Young Master Qin's background?" He Mingyun couldn't help but ask again.

Zheng Xingyan hesitated for a moment. He glanced around and, after confirming no one was there, whispered, "I can't tell you anything too specific, but you just need to know that Young Master Qin's background is so massive it exceeds your comprehension. If you can cling to his coattails, no one will ever dare to mess with you again."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Hearing this, He Mingyun was startled. Could they be young masters from Kyoto?

But over in Kyoto, he had never seemed to hear of such a figure either.

"Don't ask too much. Just remember to come over and offer a toast later."

Zheng Xingyan waved his hand and, after leaving behind this sentence, promptly returned into the private room.
