Qin Heng looked down at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy, and said indifferently, "They call you the Third Young Master, so it seems you are Chen Xigui's son, the third child of the Chens, Chen Youfang."
Chen Youfang nodded repeatedly, head bowed, pressing against the ground, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. "That's right, that's right! I am Chen Youfang! Young Master Qin actually remembers my unworthy name. I am truly fortunate beyond measure! Young Master Qin, please come in. The banquet is already prepared, and my father is awaiting your esteemed arrival."
"Then let's go." Qin Heng cast a glance at Chen Youfang, who was still kneeling on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of cold light flashing through them.
Then, he stepped forward, striding directly over Chen Youfang's body, and walked into the grand entrance of Changtai Huafu.
Chen Youfang remained kneeling on the ground, fists clenched, feeling an intense humiliation! I, the esteemed Third Young Master of the Chens, have actually been stepped over by someone! This is a disgrace of the highest order!! Yet, he still kept his head down, not even daring to turn and glare at Qin Heng! Daqin Group... they're too powerful! The Tianhai Chens, one of the four major families, sound glorious and mighty. But in front of Daqin Group, we're still just ants, capable only of small, clandestine maneuvers at best. Publicly, no one can afford to offend Young Master Qin of Daqin Group! He's the uncrowned king of Tianhai! The true pinnacle of nobility! In his presence, everyone must bow their heads and speak softly, daring not to act rashly!
Qin Heng walked into Changtai Huafu and saw a round table covered in red cloth, with various exquisite dishes arranged on top.
The sixty-something Chen Xigui, wearing a black Tang suit, was seated at a side position. Standing behind him was a young man in black with a sharp gaze like an unsheathed blade, presumably his bodyguard.
Upon seeing Qin Heng arrive, Chen Xigui hurriedly stood up and went to greet him.
"Young Master Qin graces us with your presence. This old man is honored, truly honored!" Chen Xigui, with a hearty demeanor, smiled broadly as he went over to shake hands with Qin Heng.
However, Qin Heng shifted slightly to the side, avoiding Chen Xigui's hand and leaving him grasping at air. He spoke indifferently, "No need for pleasantries. Let's all take our seats first. Is the transfer agreement ready?"
Chen Xigui's facial expression stiffened, his eyes darkening slightly. But being an old cunning fox, his expression returned to normal in an instant, and he smiled. "Young Master Qin is indeed straightforward. The food and wine are all ready, just waiting for you to sit down!"
The people around were utterly dumbfounded, looking at Qin Heng and Chen Xigui in disbelief.
Being members of the Chens, they naturally knew what kind of status Chen Xigui held within the family. As the Second Master of the Chens, he was an absolute authority figure, controlling nearly half of the family's corporate assets!
Even now, with the current Family Head seriously ill and bedridden, unable to handle affairs and having to hand them over to Chen Xigui, it could be said that this Second Master of the Chens now virtually controlled the entire family!
Such power, even among the four major families, made him an absolutely heavyweight figure!
An individual with almost equal standing as the heads of the other major families!
Yet now, he was kowtowing so subserviently to a young man who looked to be just a high school student!
Although everyone knew that the banquet at Changtai Huafu was to entertain a major figure, no one had imagined that the guest would be such a youth, nor that he would instill such fear in Chen Xigui!
Incredible! Unimaginable!!
The young man standing behind Chen Xigui also couldn't help frowning. I hadn't expected Qin Heng's status to be so high as to command such respect from Chen Xigui.
Qin Heng ignored everyone's expressions, took his seat, and said to Chen Xigui, "The young man you called here is quite imposing, daring to shout about wanting to kill me. Truly arrogant."
Chen Xigui nodded repeatedly, speaking with utmost respect, "Young Master Qin, please forgive me. It's all my fault for my lack of discipline! I will definitely investigate that boy Chen Yuefeng thoroughly and punish him severely!"
"Mm." Qin Heng nodded, not even glancing at Chen Xigui. He picked a grape from the table, started peeling it slowly, and said nothing more.
The air around them suddenly grew quiet. Chen Xigui held his breath, watching Qin Heng with extreme tension. We're all just waiting for a word of forgiveness from Qin Heng so the Chens can rest assured. But if Qin Heng is still unsatisfied, if he still thinks the Chens harbor hostility towards Daqin Group... then the Chen family will really be in danger, and I, the one currently holding power in the Chen family, will likely suffer the consequences! Daqin Group is too powerful, far too powerful! Even if all four major families joined forces, they wouldn't come close to Daqin Group!
"Young Master Qin..." Chen Xigui poured a glass of wine, offering it to Qin Heng with a beaming smile. "Look, the transfer agreement is all set. The entire entertainment division is transferred to you unconditionally. Our Chen family has absolutely no hostility towards Daqin Group, none at all!"
"Yes, Young Master Qin, our Chen family is just a small household; we definitely wouldn't dare provoke Daqin Group!" Chen Youfang also came in, bowing and scraping, sidling up to Qin Heng with a fawning expression. "Please spare us."
BANG!
Qin Heng suddenly slapped the table, causing the dishes to clatter and sending a shiver through Chen Xigui and Chen Youfang. He glanced at them and said indifferently, "I know you wouldn't dare to have designs on Daqin Group. But against me, Qin Heng, that might be a different story, don't you think?
I don't believe that such a large family like the Chens, after having booked out Changtai Huafu, would have people at the door to welcome me who don't recognize me. Are you trying to make me think the Chens are stupid, or do you Chens think I'm stupid, hmm?"
As he spoke, Qin Heng's gaze was like ice, sweeping over Chen Xigui and Chen Youfang. His face bore a cold smile, and he fell silent.
Back at the entrance of Changtai Huafu, when I was stopped by those two attendants, I knew it couldn't have been a mistake by the Chens; it was deliberate, yet executed without leaving a trace. Before I could truly get angry, Chen Youfang jumped out, beat those two half to death, and then knelt to beg for mercy, hoping to make me swallow a silent loss.
This was the Chen family's calculation: transfer a club worth three hundred million without compensation, and still feel dissatisfied. Whether overtly or covertly, they always wanted to regain some face.
"Young Master Qin, some things are better left unsaid, don't you think?" Chen Xigui's smile vanished. He set down his wine glass and said sternly, "A club worth three hundred million was transferred to you, without asking for a penny. It's like a pie falling from the sky. What more do you want?"
Chen Youfang also stood up, his expression darkening. "Young Master Qin, we have been exceedingly respectful and dutiful towards you. The incident you mentioned just now is nothing compared to a club worth three hundred million. Why must you use this to make things difficult for us?"
In their view, receiving a club worth three hundred million for nothing was an enormous windfall. How could they possibly care about the minor incident at the door? So what if we lost a bit of face? That's a club worth three hundred million!
"If you had sincerely apologized today, nothing would have happened," Qin Heng said, slightly tilting his head, narrowing his eyes, and huffing coldly. "But you insisted on playing these little tricks and offending me. It seems you Chens really don't want to live anymore!"
Once his words fell, the air seemed to freeze, and silence descended once more.
Chen Xigui and Chen Youfang were furious, their faces ashen. We never expected Qin Heng to be so serious about this! According to our previous investigations, this Daqin Group's young master only loved to travel and enjoy himself, was broad-minded, and didn't sweat the small stuff. How has he changed so much now!?
BANG!
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted as a fist fiercely smashed down on the table. With a boom, the solid wood table shattered into pieces, and the dishes scattered all over the floor.
The young man in black who had been standing behind Chen Xigui stepped forward. His gaze was like that of an eagle locking onto its prey, glaring ferociously at Qin Heng as he growled, "Kid, don't be ungrateful, or I'll make sure you enter standing up and leave lying down!"
"Oh?" Qin Heng raised an eyebrow at this. He first glanced at the broken table and scattered food, then looked towards Chen Xigui and chuckled, "So, this is your confidence? Are you trying to make me die laughing?"
Chen Xigui remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it.
The young man's eyes flared with anger. He suddenly moved in front of Qin Heng, glaring at him, and roared, "Don't be arrogant, kid! I know your wealth and power are terrifying, but they're useless here!
You're within a step of me right now. My fist could blow your head apart with one punch! At this moment, your wealth, your power, your family background—none of it matters!
You're too close to me; it doesn't matter who you are. We Martial Artists, at this close range, are each a match for an entire nation! Kid, if you don't want to die, then kneel immediately and apologize to our Second Master!!"
