"Young Master Qin?"
Hearing this, Wang Shuo was slightly taken aback. Could someone addressed this way by Jiang Zhi also be a young master from some prominent family?
He cast a curious glance at Bai Chenghao, who had followed him.
Bai Chenghao stepped forward and said, "Young Master Jiang, don't be fooled by this kid. He's just an orphan. Back in Liu City, we were high school classmates. How could he possibly be some Young Master Qin?"
Bai Chenghao had never met Jiang Zhi before, but the incident at the door earlier made him feel a vague sense of familiarity.
Now he finally realized it—wasn't this the eldest young master of the Jiang family?
Jiang Yanran's older brother, Jiang Zhi!
"Bai Chenghao, you'd better watch your mouth!"
Just then, Jiang Yanran also walked into the private room, looking at Bai Chenghao with anger on her face. "Apologize to Young Master Qin immediately!"
Although she didn't know Qin Ning's exact background.
Her grandfather had specifically instructed her that this was her grandmaster. No matter what, she could not do anything to upset Qin Ning.
Listening to her grandfather was definitely the right thing to do.
"Yanran, what are you..."
Seeing the anger on Jiang Yanran's face, Bai Chenghao couldn't help but frown.
If it were only Jiang Zhi being deceived, it would be understandable. But now, even Jiang Yanran was calling the other party Young Master Qin.
Could it be that his orphan classmate actually had some significant background?
Or perhaps he had found his biological parents?
But in the entire West Province, he had never heard of any prominent Qin family.
"Young Master Qin or not, Jiang Zhi, I don't care what his identity is. Bai Chenghao is my friend. By giving him attitude today, you are disrespecting me, Wang Shuo. I'll give you a chance now: apologize immediately. Otherwise, you'll be the only ones looking bad later."
Wang Shuo snorted coldly. With his family's background, he naturally had no reason to fear the Jiang family.
"Your name is Wang Shuo, right?"
Right at that moment, Qin Ning slightly raised his eyes and looked over.
Without waiting for a reply, he took out his phone and made a call.
On the other end of the line, the person who answered was none other than Elder Liu. He frowned slightly, knowing that under normal circumstances, Qin Ning wouldn't call him for no reason. Moreover, since both he and Qin Ning were currently in Guangning City, it was highly likely that someone had accidentally provoked him.
"Elder Liu, here's the situation..."
Qin Ning then briefly explained what had happened in the private room.
Upon hearing this, Elder Liu's expression instantly darkened. "Don't worry, Qin Ning. I will have someone handle it right away. It will be resolved within ten minutes."
"Then I'll wait ten minutes."
Qin Ning nodded, hung up the phone, and looked up at Wang Shuo again. "Get lost. Someone will call you within ten minutes."
"Empty bluff."
Wang Shuo snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.
Although he was a bit unsure of Qin Ning's exact identity, he didn't believe that a single phone call from the other party could truly threaten him.
"I'll give you ten minutes. In ten minutes, if no one calls my phone, unless you kneel before me, otherwise..."
Leaving this threat behind, Wang Shuo turned around with Bai Chenghao and the others, heading back to their private room across the hall.
"Brother."
Jiang Yanran stayed behind, her face showing some concern. "Should we call Grandpa?"
In her view, Wang Shuo's family had quite a bit of influence. Even if her grandfather stepped in, he might not be able to settle it. Could Qin Ning's single phone call just now really be effective?
She obviously found it hard to believe.
"No need."
Jiang Zhi waved his hand dismissively.
His sister didn't know the extent of Qin Ning's power, so it was reasonable for her to have such concerns.
But how could he not know?
This was a man who could make even Elder Liu personally pay a visit to his door.
"Grandmaster, my name is Jiang Yanran. I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that on Wang Shuo's side..."
Seeing that her brother seemed a bit unreliable and wasn't taking the matter seriously at all, Jiang Yanran grew a bit anxious and looked at Qin Ning.
However, before she could finish, Qin Ning waved his hand. "Sit down and have something to eat first."
...
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Guangning City, inside a certain military base.
As soon as Elder Liu hung up Qin Ning's call, he immediately dialed Guo Zhengwen.
After a brief exchange, he hung up and ordered a soldier beside him, "Arrange a helicopter for me immediately. I'm heading to the city center."
...
At the restaurant.
Back in his private room, Wang Shuo felt a vague sense of unease.
He hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone and making a call. "Hello, Dad..."
Wang Shuo then briefly explained what had just happened in the restaurant.
"What is the background of this Young Master Qin?" On the other end of the line, Power Bureau Chief Wang Hongyuan frowned slightly.
He also felt that this Qin Ning shouldn't be that simple. After all, someone who could sit at the same table as Jiang Zhi might truly have some significant status.
"I'm not too sure either. According to Bai Chenghao, that kid used to be just an orphan," Wang Shuo replied.
Wang Hongyuan thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I happen to be near the restaurant right now. I'll come over immediately."
After hanging up, he immediately had his driver turn the car around and head toward the restaurant.
A few minutes later, the car stopped at the restaurant's entrance.
Wang Shuo, Bai Chenghao, and the others were already waiting there. Seeing Wang Hongyuan step out of the car, they hurried forward to greet him.
"Dad, that kid is still eating inside. Should we go meet him now?" Wang Shuo asked.
Wang Hongyuan nodded without saying a word.
Just as they were about to walk into the restaurant, a car suddenly screeched to a halt not far away.
Glancing over instinctively, Wang Hongyuan immediately recognized the person getting out of the car. It was Zhou De from Liu City.
Over the past few days, Zhou De had been in Guangning City seeking investments, so Wang Hongyuan had naturally met him.
He didn't expect Zhou De to suddenly show up here. Was he here to eat?
Thinking this, he quickly walked over to Zhou De with a smile. "Director Zhou, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you here for a meal?"
Zhou De looked at him, his tone indifferent. "It's not a coincidence, and I'm not here to eat."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Wang Hongyuan was taken aback, muttering inwardly.
The last time they met, Zhou De didn't have this expression. Why had he suddenly become so cold?
"Is this your son, Wang Shuo?"
While Wang Hongyuan was still confused, Zhou De's gaze shifted to Wang Shuo beside him. "Did you just offend someone named Qin Ning inside?"
Hearing these words, Wang Shuo and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.
Could this be the person Qin Ning had called over?
What was his background?
Obviously, neither Wang Shuo nor Bai Chenghao knew Zhou De, but seeing how polite Wang Hongyuan was to him, it was clear that the man held significant status.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

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.
