He Xueqin.
This was the roommate Shen Lihua had just mentioned, the one who had spoken harshly to her.
Beside He Xueqin stood another girl whom Shen Lihua didn't recognize, but she was likely also a student at Jingcheng University.
Upon seeing He Xueqin, Shen Lihua's expression instantly changed, and she appeared somewhat panicked.
Qin Ning patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to be afraid, before shifting his gaze to He Xueqin and her friend.
He Xueqin merely glanced at Qin Ning without paying much attention to him, then turned her eyes back to Shen Lihua. Why are you here?
I...
Asked so abruptly, Shen Lihua seemed at a loss for how to respond.
Why can't she be here? Qin Ning's calm voice sounded.
He Xueqin glanced at him again, a hint of disdain on her face. Who are you?
You don't need to know who I am. Just answer my question first: why can't she be here? Qin Ning looked at her.
Heh, are you truly ignorant or just pretending? Shen Lihua is a kid from the countryside. A tea restaurant like this isn't somewhere people like her can afford. Looking at your age, you don't seem to be a student at our university either. What? Could it be that she's only been in the capital for a couple of days and already hooked up with...
Slap!
Before He Xueqin could finish her sentence, a sudden slap landed squarely on her face.
If your mouth doesn't know how to speak properly, I can help you smash it, Qin Ning said indifferently.
You, you...
He Xueqin was completely stunned by the slap. It took her a long while to react, her face instantly showing intense anger. You dare to hit me! Do you know who I am?
Do I need to know? Qin Ning asked in return.
Who are you? How dare you lay a hand on Xueqin!
At this moment, the girl beside He Xueqin also spoke up.
Her name was Li Haiyan. She glared furiously at Qin Ning and said, Believe it or not, with just one phone call, we can send you to prison!
Oh? I really don't believe that.
Qin Ning couldn't help but laugh. Why don't you make the call and try?
You!
He Xueqin was so furious she was about to charge forward, but Li Haiyan held her back. Don't be impulsive. A good woman doesn't fight an evil man, and more importantly, we can't beat him. Call your family. Let's see how arrogant he can be later!
Hearing this, He Xueqin calmed down slightly. She shot a vicious glare at Qin Ning, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
Brother, why don't we...
Shen Lihua was panicking. She hadn't expected Qin Ning to actually strike someone.
She had naturally heard things about He Xueqin's family background. If things blew out of proportion, it would be troublesome.
She didn't care about herself, but she couldn't drag Qin Ning into this, right?
After all, she had only wanted to borrow some money from him today.
However, Shen Lihua had a lingering question in her heart: why was it so coincidental that Qin Ning was in the capital, and he said this breakfast was personally made by Sister Qin Fei?
Did that mean Sister Qin Fei was also in the capital right now?
But how could Shen Lihua know that when they spoke on the phone earlier, Qin Ning was actually still in Liu City, and Qin Fei wasn't in the capital either.
Although she knew Qin Ning's medical skills were astonishing—after all, he had cured her grandmother.
But as for Qin Ning's other abilities, Shen Lihua knew absolutely nothing.
She understood even less just how much power the Qin Ning standing beside her truly possessed.
It's fine, just stay seated. Qin Ning smiled, signaling her not to be nervous.
Meanwhile, He Xueqin had connected her call. Brother, where are you? I was beaten up...
She complained into the phone, looking so aggrieved that tears were about to fall.
Soon, not long after she hung up, several young men around twenty years old rushed over.
The leading young man was named He Zhiwen, also a student at Jingcheng University, currently a junior.
Xueqin, who hit you?
Seeing the clear slap mark on his sister's face, He Zhiwen instantly grew furious.
Over there! It's him!
He Xueqin raised her hand and pointed at Qin Ning.
Hearing this, He Zhiwen snorted coldly. He gave a look to the guys beside him and led them to surround Qin Ning.
Buddy, I don't care who you are. Daring to hit my sister, you're definitely going to prison today!
He Zhengqun, the Party Secretary of Mingfeng District in the capital, was a proper bureau-director level official, equivalent to the top leader of a prefecture-level city, on the same level as Zhou De in Liu City.
He Zhiwen and He Xueqin were He Zhengqun's son and daughter.
As he spoke, He Zhiwen waved his hand, preparing to have his companions subdue Qin Ning first.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in through the restaurant doors.
It was Zhong Mingyuan.
These past few days, he happened to have returned to the capital with Liu Silin to visit family.
Earlier, while He Xueqin was making her phone call, Qin Ning had also sent a message with his location to Zhong Mingyuan.
Zhong Mingyuan had just woken up. Without even brushing his teeth or washing his face, he grabbed a piece of clothing and ran straight over.
It was the morning rush hour in the capital. If he drove, he naturally wouldn't have made it in ten-plus minutes.
Zhong Mingyuan had run all the way here. With his current cultivation level, covering this distance in a dozen minutes just meant taking a few extra breaths.
All of you, back the fuck off!
As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Zhong Mingyuan saw Qin Ning and Shen Lihua surrounded by the crowd and immediately shouted.
Kid, and who are you? You better not meddle in other people's business!
He Zhiwen snorted coldly. As he spoke, his gaze sized up Zhong Mingyuan. He paused slightly, feeling that the guy looked somewhat familiar.
Zhong Mingyuan?
The next moment, He Zhiwen called out the other party's name in surprise.
They were all part of the capital circle. Naturally, he had met Zhong Mingyuan quite a few times before. Though they weren't close, they were definitely acquaintances.
He Zhiwen, who the fuck gave you the guts to act wild in front of Young Master Qin! Zhong Mingyuan was furious and yelled viciously.
Young Master Qin? Who?
Hearing this, He Zhiwen was momentarily stunned, then looked at Qin Ning. Him?
Who else?
Zhong Mingyuan said, Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Qin, otherwise don't blame me for beating you until your own mother won't recognize you!
Hearing this, He Zhiwen's expression darkened. After all, he was the son of a district secretary. Although Zhong Mingyuan's grandfather used to be a ministerial-level official, he had already retired. Being pointed at and yelled at like this, how could He Zhiwen not be angry?
Zhong Mingyuan, you better speak to me with some respect. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? I don't care about any Young Master Qin. He hit my sister, and no matter what, I'm sending him to jail today. Don't even think about protecting him! He Zhiwen snorted coldly.
Who are you sending to jail?
At this moment, another figure rushed in from outside. It was none other than Liu Silin. Hearing He Zhiwen's words, his face instantly darkened. He Zhiwen, I've only been out of the capital for a little while, and you've already become this arrogant?
