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

"Brother Gua, don't talk about Sister Jinghong like that."

"She's concerned about Sister Wenxi, but I'm actually quite worried too. How can anyone feel at ease knowing she's been unconscious like this!"

Seeing Yu Jinghong's embarrassment, Yang Xiaomeng took the initiative to help her out of the predicament. She understood that Yu Jinghong didn't mean what Qin Ge said, and she also knew that Qin Ge did it on purpose.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and not stoop to her level."

Qin Ge said magnanimously, "Don't worry, Wen Xi is recovering very well and should wake up soon."

"However, it will take some time for a full recovery."

Yu Jinghong became even more enraged, "How can you be so hypocritical, you bastard?"

"You patiently explained to Xiaomeng when she was worried about Wenxi, but why do you have a completely different attitude towards me?"

"Am I not concerned about Wen Xi?"

Qin Ge said calmly, "Xiao Meng is our Xiao Meng. She's well-behaved and sensible. Can you compare to her?"

Who are you?

Yang Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, feeling both sweet and amused, and didn't know what to say.

"Why don't you just die!" Yu Jinghong swung a chair and smashed it right where Qin Ge had just been standing, shattering the chair into pieces.

"shrew!"

Qin Ge's figure had long since disappeared, leaving behind only two words.

In the evening, Qin Ge went to the Champs-Élysées villa.

"How many things are you hiding from me? I've clearly investigated, so why is there such a big discrepancy?"

Qi Yingzi spoke slowly, her breathing still unsteady.

"What are you talking about? This 'neither coming nor going' nonsense, haven't I always been like this?"

"Don't try to make excuses like you used to. You know what I'm asking you!"

Qi Yingzi's mind was clear, but her body was not cooperating. Qin Ge quickly made her lose her rationality and temporarily put everything out of her mind.

"You've been getting too much attention lately, so be careful."

Qi Yingzi's eyes were alluring, with a hint of worry in them. She clung tightly to Qin Ge's neck, preventing him from doing anything reckless.

Qin Ge ran his palm across Qi Yingzi's smooth skin on her back, then put his arm around her slender waist. "Don't worry."

"There are some things I can't tell you, but the situation is pretty much what you know."

"I know the Shen family, the Han family, and everyone else. I killed Huo Changkun!"

"Hmm..."

Just as Qi Yingzi was about to speak, Qin Ge's sudden action made her gasp in surprise.

"No matter what, that's the Huo family! You killed Huo Changkun, Huo Qian will never let this go!"

"Fine, I won't ask anymore!" Qi Yingzi reluctantly conceded. "Do you still remember Zheng Shaoqing?"

"He's been asking me to meet up for the past few days, but I've refused."

Qin Ge narrowed her eyes slightly. "That young master Zheng hasn't given up yet?"

"Since Zheng Shaoqing is so persistent, let's meet with him. I'll go with you!"

Qi Yingzi's heart and body tensed simultaneously. "What do you want to do?"

"Don't you dare do anything reckless! The Zheng family is different from everyone else!"

"Don't assume that the Zheng family is the same as the Huo family. Even if Huo Qianjue had succeeded, he still wouldn't be comparable to the Zheng family of Beidu. Let alone the fact that the Huo family didn't become the number one family in Donghai back then, there's no comparison between them and the Zheng family of Beidu."

"I know you're very capable, far exceeding my expectations, but you can't underestimate the Zheng family!"

"You underestimate me!" Qin Ge's words grew faster and faster with the rhythm of the music.

"I certainly can't afford to offend the Zheng family right now, but Zheng Shaoqing might not represent the entire Zheng family, right?"

"Even if he could, I'm not necessarily afraid of the Zheng family!"

"I can't control other places for now, but I won't allow anyone else to get involved in the East China Sea!"

"And I'll say it again, you're mine. Anyone who tries to harm you, I'll kill them first, including Zheng Shaoqing!"

After their passionate encounter, Qin Ge carried Qi Yingzi into the bathroom.

At 8 p.m., the two went to the Hongying Club together.

It must be said that Hongying Club has a very good reputation. Even a young master like Zheng Shaoqing would meet Qi Yingzi at such a place when he came to Donghai.

When the door to the private room opened, Zheng Shaoqing smiled broadly when he saw Qi Yingzi appear.

When he saw Qin Ge behind Qi Yingzi, his smile vanished instantly, and he looked somewhat taken aback before his face darkened.

Seeing Zheng Shaoqing's expression, as if his father had just died, Qin Ge teased, "Young Master Zheng doesn't seem very welcoming of me?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just Mr. Qi's bodyguard, out to earn some extra money. You guys chat, a bodyguard's ears are practically useless!"

His explanation only made things worse; the more he tried to explain, the darker Zheng Shaoqing's face became.

Zheng Shaoqing certainly knew Qin Ge. That day at Yingwu Hall, Xia Siyuan and Han Qianyun were all very respectful to Qin Ge. Who would believe that he was Qi Yingzi's bodyguard?

He just couldn't understand why Qin Ge would appear with Qi Yingzi.

As for Qin Ge's words, he didn't believe a single punctuation mark!

"Mr. Qi is really hard to get an appointment with!"

"I feel incredibly honored that you would grace us with your presence!"

Zheng Shaoqing ignored Qin Ge and invited Qi Yingzi to sit down.

You yourself said you're a bodyguard, and there's a clear distinction between primary and secondary roles, so don't blame me for making things difficult for you.

Qi Yingzi remained motionless, while Qin Ge boldly sat down in the direction Zheng Shaoqing gestured.

After Qin Ge sat down, Qi Yingzi sat down next to him, adopting a "husband and wife in harmony" posture.

Zheng Shaoqing's lips twitched repeatedly as he forced himself to sit down opposite him, suppressing his anger. "President Qi, I won't beat around the bush anymore."

"I've asked to meet with you several times because I see that Tianying Group has been developing very well in recent years, but it's always been a little short of being ready."

"Therefore, I would like to discuss cooperation with President Qi. With the support of the Zheng family, Tianying Group will definitely be able to reach a new level!"

"It's only a matter of time before it becomes a leading enterprise in the East China Sea!"

Qi Yingzi remained expressionless, but subconsciously glanced at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge took Qi Yingzi's hand, the two looking like a couple deeply in love. "Is what Young Master Zheng said true?"

"Is Young Master Zheng going to invest in Tianying Group?"

"Thank you in advance, Young Master Zheng. May I ask how much you intend to invest in Tianying Group—one billion or one hundred billion?"

Zheng Shaoqing slammed his fist on the table in anger. "We're having a conversation. Do you, a bodyguard, have the right to interrupt?"

"Know your place. Who do you think you are?"

Qin Ge smiled slightly and exaggeratedly put his arm around Qi Yingzi's waist. "What did Young Master Zheng say?"

"President Qi is my woman. Can't I even inquire about your business dealings with her?"

"What's wrong with being a bodyguard? I'm a bodyguard for my woman, is that something to be looked at differently by you?"

Zheng Shaoqing was furious. Seeing that Qi Yingzi didn't explain and instead acted like a submissive little bird, his heart ached even more. "Qi Yingzi!"

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Qin Ge frowned, looking directly at Zheng Shaoqing. "Young Master Zheng, what do you mean by this?"

"Threatening Yingzi right in front of me?"

"You must have witnessed my skills back in the Shadow Martial Arts Hall, right?"

He glanced at Yun Yichuan behind Zheng Shaoqing, "If I were to attack you, I wonder if he could stop me?"

Zheng Shaoqing and Yun Yichuan both felt a chill run down their spines; this really was a problem!
