Qin Xuan strode towards the restaurant, leaving Chen Aifeng behind with a look of astonishment on his face.
Standing in place for a while, Chen Aifeng couldn't help gritting his teeth and muttering to himself, "Don't you understand yet? This is a society ruled by power. Without power, no matter how good you are at fighting, you're nothing but a tool in the eyes of the powerful!"
He was furious, furious that a young punk like Qin Xuan would dare yell at him like that.
He really wanted to just turn around and leave right now, but some strong curiosity compelled him to slowly follow along...
Top floor of the restaurant.
Cheng Danian sat there, his face clouded with anger.
Next to him was a middle-aged man around the same age, with half his hair gone bald.
This bald man was none other than Huang Chuan's father, Huang Pinghai!
Ever since Huang Chuan's bizarre death at the Autumn Water Flower Villa, Huang Pinghai hadn't been able to sleep well at night. He didn't believe his son's death was an accident - everything was too suspicious.
After much investigation, Huang Pinghai discovered that Huang Chuan had conflict with a college student named Qin Xuan in the two days before his death.
Qin Xuan had beaten Huang Chuan!
With this clue, Huang Pinghai focused his attention on Qin Xuan. As luck would have it, his old friend Cheng Danian also wanted to find Qin Xuan, so the two of them gathered here tonight.
Just now they had looked down from above and personally witnessed Qin Xuan's prowess, and both now had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry too much, I've already called him over," Huang Pinghai said reassuringly.
"Called over who?" Cheng Danian asked in confusion.
"The one who has won the underground boxing tournament championship for eight consecutive terms - that fierce fellow!" Huang Pinghai's eyes were profound.
Cheng Danian's heart shook. The wrinkles on his brow slowly relaxed.
He hadn't expected Huang Pinghai to be able to invite that person over. With him here, there was no chance anything would go wrong tonight!
At this moment, footsteps approached.
Qin Xuan's figure slowly came into view of the two men.
Chen Aifeng followed lazily behind. The instant he saw Huang Pinghai, his eyes widened in surprise.
Although they weren't from the same unit, Huang Pinghai's status was solidly one level above Chen Aifeng's!
No one paid any attention to Chen Aifeng.
Cheng Danian stared at Qin Xuan and said in a dark tone, "Let's make a deal. What will it take for you to drop the lawsuit?"
"If you hadn't threatened the people by my side earlier, perhaps I would have discussed terms with you," Qin Xuan said coldly. "Unfortunately, you had to choose the worst approach, so I can only tell you - prison is where Cheng Tao is headed!"
Cheng Danian felt angry flames in his heart.
Because of Jin Cheng's arbitrary exaggerations, the matter of Cheng Tao's misuse of the supreme card had grown more and more out of control, possibly bringing years of imprisonment.
And Cheng Danian's connections, including Huang Pinghai, had no way to intervene in this case!
"If you refuse the toast, you must drink the forfeit," Cheng Danian narrowed his eyes. Then he looked to Huang Pinghai, "He's all yours now."
Huang Pinghai nodded. He said to Qin Xuan, "I'm Huang Chuan's father. I'm very suspicious of you regarding Huang Chuan's death. Other than you, I can't find anyone else with a motive to commit the crime. You'd better come clean."
Qin Xuan looked a little surprised.
He hadn't expected Huang Chuan's father to be here too.
"Your reasoning is quite accurate, there's no flaw in the logic, because..."
Qin Xuan grinned, "Even if he wasn't dead, just his ungrateful and traitorous behavior was reason enough for me to kill him sooner or later.
"You!!" Huang Pinghai immediately flew into a rage.
But Qin Xuan's expression didn't change. "There's no point in asking these things. Although I didn't kill him, I don't mind taking the blame. Your son was going to die either way."
Huang Pinghai and Cheng Danian exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected Qin Xuan to be so arrogantly fearless.
Even if the guy wasn't dead...
He would have killed him?
This was outrageous!
Chen Aifeng felt his heart thump wildly. He couldn't believe a teenage boy could say such things.
Simply looking down on everyone!
"Very well," Cheng Danian couldn't help but say, "Since you refuse to let Cheng Tao go, I admit defeat. But you will pay a price tonight as well - I look forward to this outcome!"
Just as he finished speaking.
Steady, powerful footsteps sounded in everyone's ears.
A brawny man wearing a black vest, his physique like an iron tower, walked over with his hands behind his back.
This man had a full beard and dark skin.
Like a battle-hardened war god, his gaze alone contained a bloodthirsty aura!
Ma Guanlin.
Eight consecutive term underground boxing champion.
His iron fists subdued all directions, with no rivals.
No one knew who Ma Guanlin's real boss was, but rumor had it that any mission undertaken by him had never failed!
"Say who you want me to beat quickly, don't drag it out. Someone's waiting for me downstairs, I'm in a hurry," Ma Guanlin spoke indifferently.
"Mr. Ma," Huang Pinghai hurriedly went up to greet him, and quickly pointed at Qin Xuan, "This kid has some skills, dozens of bodyguards attacked him but couldn't hurt him one bit. Don't underestimate him."
"Oh?" Ma Guanlin raised his eyebrows, and actually shook his head, as if disdaining to make a move against a mere boy.
"Kneel down yourself, you're not even worth me making a move." Ma Guanlin casually said.
Haha.
Qin Xuan hadn't expected a silly clown to show up and make him laugh directly.
Chen Aifeng didn't think Qin Xuan could be Ma Guanlin's match, but with Qin Xuan's proud temperament, he wouldn't listen to anything others said anyway.
It was good for arrogant young men like this to suffer some setbacks, otherwise they would never mature!
After a long time, seeing Qin Xuan just standing there unmoving, Ma Guanlin lost patience. "Forget it, I can't be bothered to deal with a brat like you, but since I've been hired to do a job, I should fulfill my duty. Just admit defeat!"
Ma Guanlin slowly walked over.
In the next instant.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap rang out.
Ma Guanlin's body flew straight out over the railing, from the top floor of the restaurant, falling into the artificial lake below.
Like a heavy bomb, causing huge splashes of water.
In that moment, Huang Pinghai and Cheng Danian's eyes were wide with astonishment!
Chen Aifeng's eyeballs practically bulged out. His facial expression was so colorful it was indescribable.
The eight consecutive term black fist champion, a well-deserved king of boxing.
Slapped away just like that?
What kind of joke was this!!
"Sigh."
Before they could react, Qin Xuan's sigh rang out from nowhere. "What a piece of trash, daring to come out and pretend to be tough. Who knows who gave him the courage."
"......"
Cheng Danian and Huang Pinghai exchanged a look, both with fear appearing in their eyes.
Slap slap!
Qin Xuan suddenly stretched out his hands, slapping both their faces and sending their bodies spinning vertically in midair before crashing heavily to the ground.
Next.
Facing their wildly trembling eyes.
Qin Xuan stepped forward, pointing at Cheng Danian and said, "If I remember correctly, you run a company, right?"
Cheng Danian swallowed nervously, fully on guard.
Qin Xuan pointed at Huang Pinghai and continued, "You, you hold quite an important position in some unit, don't you?"
"What... What do you mean, what are you trying to do?" Huang Pinghai's voice quivered.
Qin Xuan didn't answer. He quickly took out his phone and called Chu Qingqiu, casually saying, "I heard of this Cheng Danian. There are a lot of shady dealings in his company. I feel an investigation is in order. What do you think?"
"I've heard of him and even met him. Mr. Qin is right, I've long felt he should be investigated. Thank you for the reminder."
Chu Qingqiu's voice came through the speaker clearly.
Qin Xuan nodded, then immediately said, "There's also Huang Chuan's father, Huang something..."
"Huang Pinghai!"
"Ah right, Huang Pinghai. This man has some issues too. If he continues in his position, it will likely cause a lot of bad influence."
"Mr. Qin sees things clearly. I've had my eye on these two for a while. I'll have my dad make arrangements to investigate them. Thank you for the tip!!"
"......"
The call ended abruptly there.
Huang Pinghai and Cheng Danian's faces were deathly pale, their hearts like they had fallen into an icy cave.
In their reddened eyes, tears of regret swiftly welled up.
As for Chen Aifeng, he didn't know when he had sat down on the floor. His eyes were wide open, and his upper and lower rows of teeth chattered wildly.
They were all people of some status.
Naturally they could tell that the woman Qin Xuan spoke with was Chu Qingqiu, daughter of the Chu family!
And Chu Qingqiu's father, Chu Haoyun, was one of the top big shots in Yun City.
With just a casual word from him, their lives would be ruined!!
It was even more terrifying that Chu Qingqiu, such a dazzling and unparalleled rich young lady, was actually so respectful towards Qin Xuan!
This phone call was not a request for help at all.
But an order!
An order without any attempt to conceal the intention!!
Chen Aifeng was scared out of his wits, recalling what Qin Xuan had said about being able to take away his job with just one phone call.
At that time, he thought Qin Xuan was arrogant and boastful due to his young age.
But now, he finally realized that he himself was just a frog at the bottom of a well!
A newcomer in politics?
The rich list?
The two so-called standards for a son-in-law that he had mentioned before, when compared to Qin Xuan, were simply an insult to Qin Xuan!!
"You, you..."
Chen Aifeng swallowed hard, feeling his throat had been blocked and he couldn't even get out a complete sentence.
Qin Xuan just glanced at Chen Aifeng casually, with no interest in talking more with him.
From beginning to end, he never bothered to prove anything to Chen Aifeng.
Even if the senior sisters said being with Chen Yan could improve his cultivation, Qin Xuan had no interest at all!
He was destined not to end up with Chen Yan, so why bother caring whether Chen Aifeng approved of him or not?
Sensing Qin Xuan's extreme indifference at this moment, Chen Aifeng felt extremely bitter inside.
If he hadn't been so arrogant himself, if he had educated his daughter well, relying on the childhood affection between these two young people, it could have led to a wonderful story in the future. What a pity...
Chen Aifeng shook his head and sighed, leaving in a daze and despondent.
Qin Xuan's eyes fell on Huang Pinghai and Cheng Danian, and was about to speak when he heard footsteps again.
A young man in a white shirt, accompanied by two peerless beauties, walked over slowly.
The young man's appearance could be described as unparalleled handsome.
His temperament was also one in a million.
If not born in an extremely good family, it would be impossible to cultivate such temperament.
Huang Pinghai and Cheng Danian, who had just been sitting paralyzed on the ground, saw their eyes light up the moment this young man arrived.
The fear in their eyes vanished in an instant, as if they had found a huge backer and obtained endless sense of security!
From the change in their expressions, Qin Xuan immediately inferred in his heart: this person's background is no less than Chu Qingqiu!
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Feiyu." The young man looked at Qin Xuan and spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly.
"Friend or foe?" Qin Xuan asked straightforwardly.
"Foe."
Jiang Feiyu replied calmly, "Based on what you just did..."
Slap!
Qin Xuan suddenly left his original spot and slapped over, "Since you're a foe, stop blabbering nonsense to me, scram!!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
