The Young Masters of the Capital

"There is indeed a matter I need your help with."

Elder Zeng nodded seriously. "We have a very important academician who has made outstanding contributions to national defense technology. However, a while ago, he was involved in an accidental car crash and lost both of his hands."

"You know how important hands are to a scientific researcher. Although I know the chances are slim, I still wanted to ask if you have any way..."

In Elder Zeng's view, aside from Qin Ning, everyone else was completely helpless in this matter.

However, with both hands amputated, according to common sense, this was an irreversible outcome.

But some things often cannot be judged by common sense.

Just like himself—previously lying in bed at death's door, but thanks to Qin Ning, he woke up and even looked over a decade younger.

"A minor issue. Since Elder Zeng has personally asked, how could I refuse to help?" Qin Ning smiled faintly.

To him, this was indeed just a trivial matter that could be resolved with a wave of his hand.

Although he was no longer the person he used to be, having become an immortal cultivator, Qin Ning still held deep admiration and respect for people like Elder Zeng from the bottom of his heart.

"How about this, Elder Zeng? It's time to eat, and we were just about to head out for a meal. Give me the address, then head back and wait. Once we finish eating, I'll go over and take a look," Qin Ning said.

"Alright, alright, then I'll have to trouble you."

Joy appeared on Elder Zeng's face. In his eyes, as long as Qin Ning agreed to something, there would absolutely be no problem.

But on second thought, he couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Qin Ning, he said, "You kid, you're going out to eat but didn't invite me along? You're actually making me go back and wait."

"With Elder Zeng's status, it's best not to join in the commotion. It's too much of a grand spectacle whenever you go out," Qin Ning smiled. He had indeed considered this point, which was why he didn't ask Elder Zeng to stay for a meal.

"That's true."

Elder Zeng chuckled and said, "Alright then, I'll head back first. I'll send you the address later."

When they met in Liu City last time, Qin Ning, Elder Zeng, and Elder Liu had already exchanged phone numbers.

"Take care on your way back, Elder Zeng."

Xia Zhenye, Wu Shuyun, and the others walked him to the door. After watching a large group of fully armed soldiers escort Elder Zeng down the elevator, they finally returned inside.

"Brother, are we going to eat now?" Xiao Fei asked.

Xia Zhenye quickly spoke up, "Young Master Qin, I've already arranged for cars. They should be waiting downstairs."

"Let's go then." Qin Ning nodded.

Soon, they arrived downstairs, and indeed, there were two cars waiting there.

Qin Ning, Sister Gu, and Xiao Fei took one car, while Zhou Ping'an and Xia Fei took the other.

Wu Shuyun and Xia Zhenye didn't follow them; instead, they stayed home to look after the old man.

Once everyone was seated, the two cars drove toward a star-rated hotel in the capital.

They soon arrived at the hotel entrance.

"Young Master Xia, long time no see. Why didn't you let me know in advance that you were back in the capital?"

A young man about the same age as Xia Fei was waiting there.

Zhong Mingyuan, a descendant of the Zhong family in the capital. When they were children, Xia Fei also lived in the capital, and he often played with Zhong Mingyuan back then. Xia Fei had just called Zhong Mingyuan to help arrange the hotel here.

"What do you mean I didn't let you know? Didn't I just ask you to help book the hotel? Isn't that letting you know?" Xia Fei said with a smile.

"You punk..."

Zhong Mingyuan was speechless but didn't say much more. Instead, he looked at Qin Ning and the others behind him and asked curiously, "And these people are..."

"Friends I brought over from Liu City. This is Young Master Qin, this is his sister Xiao Fei, and this is Sister Gu. I won't bother introducing Young Master Zhou; you met him at the gathering last time."

"Hello Young Master Qin, hello Xiao Fei, hello Sister Gu. Since you're all friends of Young Master Xia, then you're naturally my friends too. If you ever need anything in the capital, just look for me anytime," Zhong Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Cut the crap. If there really was an issue, we definitely wouldn't need to look for you. Hurry up and take us to the private room. Serve the food quickly, we're starving to death," Xia Fei said.

Others might not know about Qin Ning, but how could he not know?

Just earlier, Elder Zeng had specifically come over to meet Qin Ning and even asked him for a favor.

It was no exaggeration to say that with a single phone call from Qin Ning to Elder Zeng, let alone the capital, what trouble in all of Huaxia couldn't be solved?

Soon, they arrived at the private room. Zhong Mingyuan arranged for everyone to sit down and noticed that Qin Ning was actually seated in the seat of honor by Xia Fei. He was instantly surprised, wondering what kind of background this Young Master Qin had.

He hadn't heard of such a prominent figure over in Liu City, had he?

Curious, he made an excuse to go check on the food preparation and cast a glance at Xia Fei.

Xia Fei understood the hint and followed him outside the private room.

"Young Master Xia, just who exactly is this Young Master Qin?" Zhong Mingyuan immediately asked.

But Xia Fei replied with a serious face, "Don't ask too many questions. All I can tell you is that your Zhong family cannot afford to offend him. No, no, no, there isn't a single person in the entire capital who can afford to offend him."

"Listen to you brag. The capital isn't like your Liu City; there's a dime a dozen big shots here. You're telling me they'd all be afraid of a young kid like him?" Zhong Mingyuan rolled his eyes, naturally not believing his nonsense.

"I'm not joking, Young Master Zhong. The reason I specifically asked you to book the hotel room this time was actually to give you a chance to latch onto Young Master Qin's coattails. Listen to your brother, I won't steer you wrong. It just depends on whether you can grasp the opportunity yourself," Xia Fei said with a serious expression.

Seeing Zhong Mingyuan's surprise and that he wanted to ask more, he spoke again, "I told you not to ask. If I could tell you, I definitely wouldn't hide it. Young Master Qin's identity is a bit special. Before he agrees, I wouldn't dare go around blabbing about it."

Zhong Mingyuan was dumbfounded, but he also knew his childhood friend's character—he never joked about such things.

Could this Young Master Qin really have some astonishing background?

Soon, the two returned to the private room, just as the waiters were bringing in the dishes.

And just as they were about to start eating, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

"Young Master Zhong, so you were here. I asked you to come over and hang out, but you flatly refused, saying you had things to do. How come you're eating over here by yourself?"

The newcomer was a slightly chubby young man, looking to be around twenty years old as well.

Liu Silin, one of the most top-tier young masters in the capital, and the grandson of Elder Liu.

"Xia Fei? Zhou Ping'an?"

Shifting his gaze to the people behind Zhong Mingyuan, Liu Silin recognized Xia Fei. Obviously, they had also played together when they were young.

As for Zhou Ping'an, it was because Xia Fei had brought him to the capital once before. Liu Silin had met him once and knew he was Zhou De's son, so he wasn't a stranger either.

"I thought you were hosting some VIPs here. It's not like I don't know these two guys; we even hung out last time. Why were you acting all secretive?"

Liu Silin showed a hint of disdain. He then glanced at Qin Ning, whom he didn't recognize. However, there wasn't a single wealthy young master in the capital he didn't know; if this guy really had a formidable background, he would definitely have recognized him.

This meant the guy must have come from Liu City along with Xia Fei.

A young master from Liu City?

He took him even less seriously.

"Oh? No wonder. So there are two beauties here. Why don't you introduce me? Are you afraid I'll steal them away?" Liu Silin's eyes lit up the moment he noticed Qin Fei and Gu Siyu sitting next to Qin Ning.

"Liu Silin, you'd better watch your mouth. Spout one more word of nonsense, and don't blame us for being merciless."

Xia Fei and Zhou Ping'an's expressions instantly darkened.
