I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"One should take responsibility for one's own actions. If you're a real man, let my friend go first, and I'll keep you company!"

Qin Ge didn't care about Pan Cheng and the others' lives; he was only concerned about Chen Xiaoxiao.

He was confident he could handle Hu Yihui's small group, and he could do the same with Chen Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't guarantee that Chen Xiaoxiao wouldn't get hurt.

If you have a choice, avoid it if you can.

He patted Chen Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, "You go first, I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with this."

"I don't want to!" Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head decisively. She wanted to explain that none of this had anything to do with her and Qin Ge, but since Qin Ge had hit her, and it was for her sake, she could only share the blame.

"Let's call the police. I'll pay for the medical expenses and any compensation you ask for."

Hu Yihui chuckled lightly, "Compensation? Is this a matter of compensation? Do you think I need your pittance?"

He gestured, "Take their phones, find them a private room to stay in, and deal with them after I've dealt with this tough kid!"

"You go with them first. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Trust me." Chen Xiaoxiao was still unwilling to leave. Only after Qin Ge's persuasion did she reluctantly follow Pan Cheng and the others to a private room, turning back every few steps.

"Brother Cheng, what should we do now?"

"There are people guarding outside the private room, and my phone has been taken away. We can't even call the police. Who is this Brother Hui? Could he have killed someone?"

"Chen Xiaoxiao! It's all your fault!"

"Look at the kind of boyfriend he's dating! He's not very capable, but he has a terrible temper. Now he's gotten himself into trouble with someone like Hu Yihui, and he's dragged us all down with him!"

"Exactly! And he even said he'd take responsibility for his own actions—can he really live up to that?"

"That Hu Yihui doesn't look like someone to be trifled with. Even if we survive today, we'll probably be crippled. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a disabled body!"

"Your boyfriend is a jinx, and you, Chen Xiaoxiao, are a troublemaker too!"

"..."

Upon entering the private room, everyone remained uneasy, but their fear had temporarily subsided.

They began to berate and insult Qin Ge and Chen Xiaoxiao, and their words became increasingly offensive.

"Shut up!" Chen Xiaoxiao glared angrily. "Qin Ge was wrong to hit someone first, but would any of this have happened without you, Guo Lingling?"

"You didn't dare utter a sound outside, but you're quite talkative in front of me. If Qin Ge hadn't spoken up, would we be here safe and sound right now?"

"If Qin Ge hadn't made a move, were you all just going to stand by and watch Hu Yihui lay a hand on me?"

"You don't have to help, and I'm not asking you to, but just shut your mouths!"

Outside the private room, Hu Yihui quickly treated the wound on his head and stopped the bleeding.

"Kid, state your family name and let me see who you are to dare to be so arrogant!"

Hu Yihui lit another cigarette. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you these questions because I'm afraid of offending someone I can't afford to offend, but because I want to take down your backer as well!"

He sat down opposite Qin Ge, tapped the coffee table, and a quick-witted underling immediately stepped forward to get a glass and poured the wine.

"Don't think I'm bragging. Have you heard of the Aoyama Trading Company?"

"I don't know how many young masters of powerful families there are in the East China Sea, but none of them have ever dared to be so arrogant in front of me!"

"But don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person. Besides, I need to make a living from this bar, and I won't do anything to people I don't know."

"Bullying customers will damage my reputation, but you're someone I absolutely have to deal with!"

Qin Ge's eyebrows twitched. "Qingshan Chamber of Commerce? Who is Hu Qingshan to you?"

It's related to the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce and the surname is Hu. Isn't that a coincidence?

That saves a lot of trouble.

"You know my dad?!" Hu Yihui was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. "Impossible!"

"I've met almost all of my dad's friends, but I've never met you, nor have I ever heard of him having any dealings with anyone surnamed Qin!"

"So that's what you were planning!" He suddenly looked enlightened. "You've got guts, kid. To be honest, I'm a little impressed."

"In Donghai, many people know his name even if they don't know my father personally. You deliberately called him by his name to scare me, didn't you?"

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"You're a junior; even if you really know my father, would you dare to address him by his full name?"

"You're not stupid, you're incredibly smart." Qin Ge exclaimed in amazement at Hu Yihui's vivid imagination. "Enough with the nonsense, are you going to fight or not?"

Hu Qingshan is truly blessed to have met Qin Ge. Not long ago, Qin Ge saved his elderly mother, and now he has to help him educate his son. He'll have to ask Qin Ge for some wages later.

"Are you really not afraid of death?" Seeing Qin Ge's fearlessness, Hu Yihui hesitated.

Qin Ge said calmly, "Of course I'm afraid of death, but you'd better be able to kill me first!"

He glanced at Hu Yihui's henchmen and said, "You guys are no match for me."

"Why don't you call Hu Qingshan and ask him to send you more men, or you can contact Hong Zhendong too!"

"My name is Qin Ge. Let's see if they help you or me."

Qin Ge also wanted to see what Hu Qingshan's attitude was. If he was ungrateful and protected his son, he wouldn't be so polite!

"Brother Hui, why waste so much breath on him!"

"He's just spouting nonsense without a care in the world. I can handle him on my own, let me take care of it!"

A burly henchman spoke confidently.

"What do you know! Get lost!" Hu Yihui hesitated for a moment, then finally took out his phone. "Kid, you wait!"

"I was only planning to teach you a lesson, but if I make this call and I find out you're lying to me, you're dead!"

As he spoke, he pulled out Hu Qingshan's phone number, dialed it directly, and even put it on speakerphone.

"Where have you been gallivanting off to, you little rascal?!"

"You've only been back for a few days, and you're never home. Didn't you know your grandmother was recovering from a serious illness?"

"Instead of staying home and keeping her company, all you do is wander around outside all day. When you get back, I'll break your legs!"

"Get back here right now..."

Hu Qingshan's voice was almost a roar, which startled Hu Yihui so much that his eyelids trembled. He quickly turned off the speakerphone and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Dad, I'm calling you because I have something important to say!"

"What important business could you possibly have, kid? Come back here and we'll talk!"

"No, no, no, Dad, don't hang up yet, I really have something to do!"

"explain!"

"I wasn't fooling around. I was just patrolling the Brilliant Bar when I ran into a guy named Qin Ge, and he beat me up..."

"Who are you calling Qin Ge?! Then let him beat you to death!"

"??? Dad, are you sure you heard me right? I said, I was beaten up!"

"You damned bastard! Who told you to offend Brother Qin? Listen to me, either he beats you to death, or he forgives you, or when you get back I'll treat you to peanuts. There's no third option!"

Brother Qin?!

Hu Yihui was completely dumbfounded, and his gaze fell on Qin Ge, his expression incredibly complex.
