Wu Lei's expression immediately changed. He hurried over and whispered in Peng Hao's ear, "Young Master Peng, didn't you just go back? Why did you suddenly come back? Come on, let's step outside to talk."
"Why do we need to step outside?"
Peng Hao frowned. "Didn't you just say you ran into an elder? Why are you eating with a few young people now? And you aren't even introducing me. Do you think I'm not qualified to meet them?"
He was feeling a bit angry inside.
After all, he was celebrating his birthday tonight. Wu Lei had traveled a long way to get here, and he had personally hosted and settled him in, only to suddenly receive a call saying Wu Lei wouldn't be coming.
If he had truly run into an elder and couldn't get away, that would be one thing, but weren't these just a few youths?
"Let's talk outside!" Wu Lei was getting anxious.
He and Peng Hao had gone to the same high school and had a great relationship. They later applied to the same university and both got in. Having been friends for six or seven years, he naturally cherished this friendship and did not want Peng Hao to court death here. If he really upset Qin Ning, the consequences would be disastrous.
Saying this, he quickly grabbed Peng Hao and pulled him toward the door of the private room.
But Peng Hao threw off his hand, chuckled, and even pulled up a chair. He made a show of sitting down, sweeping his gaze over Qin Ning and the other two. "Heh, we can just talk right here. Aren't your friends my friends too? Just introduce us. What, do you really think I don't have the qualifications to know them?"
Qin Ning looked toward him, his brows furrowing slightly, and then cast a glance at Wu Lei.
Wu Lei's heart immediately skipped a beat. He instantly scolded Peng Hao, "Hurry up and come outside with me! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning hostile. We might not even be friends after this!"
With that, he forcefully dragged Peng Hao out of the private room.
"Young Master Wu, what exactly do you mean by this? Lying to me about meeting an elder is one thing..."
Peng Hao was quite irritated, feeling as though their friendship had been betrayed.
"Shut the hell up!"
Wu Lei spoke with a face full of frustration at his friend's foolishness. "Damn it, I never noticed before, but how can you be so dense? I told you to come outside to talk, yet you were still being stubborn in there. If you accidentally offend Young Master Qin, you won't even know how you died."
"Young Master Qin?"
Hearing this, Peng Hao frowned slightly. After calming down, he also realized that Wu Lei had been acting a bit out of character just now. It seemed he was very wary, or even terrified, of those three people inside?
That shouldn't be.
Wu Lei was the son of the richest man in the Eastern Province. Even looking at the entire country, he was one of the top-tier young masters.
Who was this Young Master Qin he was talking about?
To actually make a prominent young master like Wu Lei so fearful.
It wasn't normal!
"Young Master Wu, tell me honestly, who exactly is this Young Master Qin? What is his background?" Peng Hao asked with a frown.
Wu Lei, however, shook his head. "I wouldn't dare casually speak about Young Master Qin's identity. Furthermore, by suddenly barging in just now, you've already offended him. Right now, you better think about how to apologize and earn his forgiveness."
"Apologize?"
Hearing this, Peng Hao's frown deepened. "Is that really necessary? Is it truly that serious?"
He certainly didn't think so.
His family was, after all, the wealthiest in Qiong Province. Even if he had acted a bit recklessly, it wouldn't lead to any overly severe consequences, right?
"Not necessary?"
Wu Lei wanted nothing more than to slap him to death but couldn't be bothered to explain further. Instead, he said, "Stand here and behave. Don't leave yet. I'm going to call my dad and ask how we should handle this."
"Your dad?" Peng Hao was puzzled.
However, Wu Lei ignored him. He had already taken out his phone and made the call.
"Are you saying... you ran into Young Master Qin in Qiong Province?"
On the other end of the line, Wu Xinghai, who was sitting leisurely in his office, immediately perked up upon hearing Qin Ning's name.
This was a true big shot, an existence that could make their Wu family vanish in an instant with just a single word.
Previously, through a blessing in disguise, the Wu family had managed to latch onto Qin Ning's coattails. Lately, Wu Xinghai had constantly been trying to think of an excuse to interact more with him.
He never expected Wu Lei to actually run into him in Qiong Province. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
"Dad, the problem now is that Peng Hao accidentally offended Young Master Qin just now..."
Wu Lei had a serious expression as he carefully recounted everything that had just happened in the private room.
After listening, Wu Xinghai was also frightened, his expression changing instantly. "How could he be so blind? Hurry up and figure out a way to apologize. Don't let him drag you down with him. Angering Young Master Qin is no laughing matter."
At this point, Wu Xinghai fell silent for a moment before continuing, "You two stay put and behave. I'm going to make a call right now."
With that, Wu Xinghai hung up directly. He then scrolled through his contacts, dialed a few numbers one by one, and finally called Peng Hao's father, Peng Kang, the richest man in Qiong Province.
"Old Wu? What made you think to call me so suddenly?"
On the other end, Peng Kang was currently accompanying a certain official in a car heading to a hotel for a meal.
Seeing Wu Xinghai's caller ID, a look of curiosity immediately appeared on his face.
"Old Peng, your son has caused huge trouble!"
Wu Xinghai didn't waste any time and immediately explained the entire situation from beginning to end.
After hearing this, Peng Kang was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help but frown. "Young people can be a bit reckless, a little discipline will fix it. This isn't that big of a deal, is it? Is this Young Master Qin someone's son? I've never heard of him before."
Mainly because Qin Ning's status was special, Wu Xinghai didn't dare reveal his true identity to Peng Kang over the phone. He merely warned him that under no circumstances could they offend Qin Ning, otherwise the consequences would be severe.
"Old Peng, don't take my words lightly. I can't explicitly tell you Young Master Qin's identity, but you'd better hurry over there in person. If you can't obtain Young Master Qin's forgiveness, your Peng family is finished," Wu Xinghai said earnestly.
"Is it really that serious?"
Peng Kang finally grasped the gravity of the situation and was instantly alarmed.
He knew Wu Xinghai's character well; if the situation weren't truly critical, the man would never act like this.
After exchanging a few more brief words, Peng Kang said seriously, "Alright, I understand. I actually happen to be on my way to that hotel right now. I'll be there in a few minutes."
After saying this, he hung up the phone and fell silent, frowning.
"What's wrong, Old Peng?"
Beside him, a middle-aged man sharing the ride asked curiously.
Feng Zhenyang, the top leader of Qiong Province.
Although he hadn't heard what was said on the phone, judging by Peng Kang's current expression, it seemed something very serious had happened.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
