Old Uncle was stunned: “...Qin, Qin Hanyue?”
It was Zhang Chengyong's birthday banquet. The old uncle I felt was familiar at the hotel finally remembered who Qiao Ying was.
The images of Qin Hanyue smiling charmingly getting close to Qiao Ying as if to kiss her, and Qin Hanyue pouring wine for Qiao Ying to drink, before finally leaving together, immediately came to his mind.
"Just wait to die, you old bald donkey. Qin Hanyue who couldn't even chase her when she was the one pursuing him, and you dare make a move? See if he flays you alive and dismantles your bones."
Qiao Ying in the car: “......”
In an instant, cold sweat broke out and dense fear crept up in my heart. Old Uncle's breathing became difficult.
He couldn't even bother about the pain in his waist. He hurriedly sat up from the bed in panic: “...Huo, Young Master Huo, misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. I wasn't trying to make a move on Young Master Qin's woman. I was...”
"Keep your explanation for Qin Hanyue. If you want to live, go kowtow to Qin Hanyue quickly. If you go late, tomorrow the police will be dredging for your whole family in the moat." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Young Master Huo, hello? Hello?" Old Uncle looked at the disconnected phone, scared witless.
His subordinates next to him asked concernedly. Old Uncle's face was pale as he murmured: "It's over...hurry, hurry call people back."
Huo Chengdong put his phone back into his assistant's pocket: "Scram."
His assistant's brain had already stopped working at the sound of Qin Hanyue's name. By the time Huo Chengdong released him, he still didn't know.
It wasn't until Huo Chengdong raised his arm about to hit him and said: "Hurry back to receive the corpse of that old bald donkey. Standing here waiting to die?" that his assistant regained his senses. He called on a group of bodyguards and fled back to the car, quickly driving away.
Huo Chengdong came back boasting: “Sis Ying, it’s settled. I’ve handed it all to Qin Hanyue.”
Qiao Ying looked at him: “Thank you.”
Huo Chengdong grinned: “Qin Hanyue is chasing you anyway. He should take some real action. For things like making a company go bankrupt and kicking someone out of the capital, he's skilled at it.”
“Let me tell you, Sis Ying, there’s not a single good man. Someone as great as you, Qin Hanyue should...”
Qiao Ying stopped him: “We’ll talk later. Little Sack, let’s go.”
Huo Chengdong: “Sis Ying, leaving already? Where to? I came to find my sister. Wait for me, take me along.”
His words were aimed at Qiao Ying but his eyes glanced at Sack who sat in the driver's seat. The moment Sack gripped the steering wheel, the envy in Huo Chengdong's eyes seemed to flow onto Qiao Ying's head.
Qiao Ying: “Going to buy water.”
Huo Chengdong: “I have water in my car. Let me get it for you.”
Qiao Ying: “I want fresh water.”
Huo Chengdong: “Huh?”
Sack started the engine.
"The car seems to have school belle Qiao Ying in it."
"Isn't this the white-haired handsome guy's car? And who were those people just now? They looked like gangsters, so scary."
"Those aren't the point. The point is, Young Master Huo said Young Master Qin is chasing school belle Qiao Ying, and seems to still be unable to catch up..."
"Shh, do you want to die? How dare you say that too."
"It was what Young Master Huo said..."
Huo Chengdong had shouted loudly. The few onlooking students heard everything, including him saying Qiao Ying was Qin Hanyue's dream lover...
The assistant sat in the car still afraid for his life, currently calling Chairman Huang with trembling hands.
The driver suddenly slammed the brakes and the car stopped.
The few cars following behind were also forced to stop with it, with a few screeching brake sounds in succession.
The assistant hadn't fastened his seatbelt and nearly flew into the windshield. He turned and scolded the driver with vulgarities.
But the driver pointed forward and then looked at him.
The assistant didn't understand and turned to look.
He saw the ostentatious sports car stopped right in front.
Standing in front of the sports car was none other than the "Qin Young Master's dream lover" and foreign boy his boss had fancied, as mentioned by Huo Chengdong earlier.
It was as if they had been waiting there for some time.
Qiao Ying nodded slightly at them, signaling them to get out of the car.
They had come making trouble and now wanted to leave just like that. No way would it be that easy.
Sack: “Let me handle it.”
Qiao Ying: “Little Sack, don’t be too greedy.”
Sack scoffed: “I saw that you’re injured.”
Qiao Ying: “For trash like these, one hand is enough. It’s cold out, let me exercise too.”
As she spoke, she immediately charged forward and sent the assistant trying to apologize flying onto the hood with a kick.
In a flash, twenty to thirty bodyguards were lying flat on the ground, visibly heavily injured.
Some were anxious and took out weapons in order to survive. Their ending was to lay on the ground unable to even move.
Qiao Ying looked at the grinning Sack and said: “Vented your anger this time?”
Sack's smile disappeared: “That old thing has harmed who knows how many people over the years without me even knowing. If I had run into him earlier, humph!”
Qiao Ying: “Having a sense of justice isn’t a good thing in M State.”
Sack restarted the car: “I know. Many people have told me before. Don't need you to teach me either – where to?”
Qiao Ying: “Back to school. I’ll show you around.”
“He stayed with my brother for two days. How do you feel? Do you like him?” Qiao Ying wasn’t very talkative. She mostly spoke depending on her mood. But she always had a lot to say to Sack.
Sack didn't reply. Instead he was silent for a moment before speaking: “Shadow’s assassins are very capable and skilled in everything, especially assassination. I only know how to fight. If I can't protect your brother well, will you be angry at me? Will you not want Blackwater anymore?”
Qiao Ying: “So little confidence?”
Sack: “Just telling the truth.”
Judging purely based on fighting capabilities, Bai Xiao and Sack were considered mid to high tier in Shadow. So naturally Qiao Ying didn't expect the two of them to be able to handle Shadow.
She only wanted helpers who could help pass the knife when it was time to kill someone, while also making Shadow somewhat apprehensive, and not directly make a move within this prosperous capital city.
As long as it wasn’t the “Ying” or the remaining three old guys personally taking action, and not dispatching three or more assassins at once, Bai Xiao and Sack working together could still hold their ground against the opponent.
Qiao Ying: “Qiao Yi is very important, but you and Blackwater are equally important. I didn’t expect you and Bai Xiao to risk your lives to protect people for me. So remember, if you can’t win, run.”
Sack hadn't expected Qiao Ying to say that. The leaders of other mercenary groups only treated their subordinates as blades and sat high up themselves. After No Name, Qiao Ying was the second person to treat her subordinates as human, even as friends.
His heart was moved but Sack remained stubborn on the surface, only saying one sentence: “Are you his sister?”
Qiao Ying: “More or less.”
The time she had gotten to know Sack, Bai Xiao and the others was much longer than the time she had known Qiao Yi. Their feelings for Xue Ying weren't any less than Qiao Yi's for Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying: “Doing stupid things like sending heads, only dumbasses do that.”
Knowing you'll lose yet still making unnecessary sacrifices, what's the point.
When Qin Hanyue returned home from the company and had just been in the study for a while, Qin Yan came knocking on the door.
“Young Master, Huangshu Group’s Chairman Huang Hu has come looking for you. He offended Miss Qiao and has come to beg you to spare his life.”
Qin Hanyue’s first reaction was: Why did he come to beg him for his life?
With Qiao Ying’s efficient style, Huang Hu should at least be heavily injured if not dead. How could he have left things for him to handle?
It was the first time this kind of situation had occurred. Qin Hanyue’s thoughts raced as he inevitably had other ideas. For example...had Qiao Ying started feeling he was quite a decent husband candidate and wanted to try relying on him?
Qin Yan soon shattered his beautiful imagination: “I’ve already asked clearly. On New Year’s Eve, Huang Hu harbored vile intentions against Sack at the hotel and after beating Sack into hospital, still couldn’t give up on Sack. Today, he dispatched people to chase Sack to the school again. Young Master Huo happened to run into it and taught those people a lesson before pushing the matter to you.”
Qin Yan secretly shook his head: This old guy, saying he has good eyesight is fine since he took a liking to Sack. Saying his eyesight is bad is fine too since he took a liking to Sack.
Mercenaries from M State would have directly beat this old guy to death if not for this civilized city.
With his delight crushed, Qin Hanyue thought: So it turned out to be Huo Chengdong.
However, it seemed that this Huo family brat no longer harbored any intentions toward Qiao Ying after this. He was quite good at currying favor.
Qin Yan: “Young Master, what do you think we should do?”
Qin Yan thought: This is a good chance to display himself.
Qin Hanyue: “Still need me to teach you? Kick him out of the capital and spread the word that no company is allowed to collaborate with Huangshi Group. Those wanting to withdraw investments or stocks should hurry up and withdraw them. Withdraw too late and get kicked out together.”
He paused before continuing: “He can still move which means his injuries aren’t heavy enough. Have someone take good care of him.”
Qin Yan: “Understood.”
Old Uncle was stunned: “...Qin, Qin Hanyue?”
It was Zhang Chengyong's birthday banquet. The old uncle I felt was familiar at the hotel finally remembered who Qiao Ying was.
The images of Qin Hanyue smiling charmingly getting close to Qiao Ying as if to kiss her, and Qin Hanyue pouring wine for Qiao Ying to drink, before finally leaving together, immediately came to his mind.
