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

Hu Yihui led Qin Ge to his office and waved for several scantily clad young women on the sofa to leave.

He then fiddled with the computer, and an image was projected onto the wall.

The scene depicts a private room filled with handsome men and beautiful women, with several young men toasting Xia Yanxi.

"You installed surveillance cameras in the private room?!"

Qin Ge was also exasperated with Hu Yihui, this sixth brother. "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"And how did you handle the inspection?"

Hu Yihui explained with a smile, "Not every private room has one; I just randomly picked a few!"

"It's very discreet; it won't be discovered."

"I don't usually use it; it only comes in handy in special circumstances, like now."

"As for any inspections, that's even simpler. We're all on the same side, what's the point of checking? It's just a formality!"

"What special circumstances? I think you just want to watch a free movie!" Qin Ge turned his gaze to the projected screen.

"Miss Xia has a huge capacity for alcohol, come on, bottoms up!"

"I'm truly impressed! With your generous spirit, our collaboration is definitely going to succeed!"

"Come on, another one!"

"..."

Qin Ge heard him clearly, and frowned slightly. "They're drinking just fine, aren't they?"

"Why did you call me here? And what was with all this talk of an emergency?!"

"How do you know Xia Yanxi didn't do it willingly? Maybe she's set her sights on one of those young masters and deliberately got drunk to create an opportunity for him?"

"People might just be joking about drugging someone, why are you worrying about it? Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

"Uncle Qin, aren't you interested in Xia Yanxi?" Hu Yihui's eyes widened. Had his attempt to flatter her backfired?

"Xia Yanxi's looks and figure are absolutely stunning!"

"Uncle, you don't know, when she stepped into my bar, all the other women there paled in comparison."

"There's a saying, 'It's like six empresses lost their composure,' but she's made the entire bar lose its composure!"

"That's enough to make all the beauties in the imperial harem pale in comparison!" Qin Ge rolled her eyes at Hu Yihui. "Your father, Hu Qingshan, is a respectable figure in Donghai. Can't you read a few more books?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Qin is so cultured!" Hu Yihui said without batting an eye. "I had no choice. There are just so many things more fun than studying, why would I suffer like that!"

"Uncle, you don't even think much of Xia Yanxi?"

"Besides her looks, she's also the daughter of the Xia family!"

"You have no idea, the line of rich second-generation men who want to marry Xia Yanxi could stretch from the Xia family home all the way to the port!"

Qin Ge stared at Xia Yanxi on the projected screen. "Stop talking nonsense. I do like beautiful women, but I have principles, okay?"

"Xia Yanxi isn't interested in me!"

"She dares not be interested?!" Hu Yihui's face showed an exaggerated expression of surprise.

After learning about Qin Ge's deeds, he admired Qin Ge immensely. Later, he heard that Qin Ge had dominated the Shadow Martial Hall arena and single-handedly wiped out Huo Changkun's gang.

He also knew about the Lianqing Association and knew that Qin Ge was the president!

Qin Ge's image in Hu Yihui's mind has been upgraded once again, and he is now almost a god-like being!

If he hadn't been thinking about how to please Qin Ge, why would he have thought of calling Qin Ge over?

He would be happy to be Qin Ge's pawn, feeling it would be an immense honor.

With someone like that, how could Xia Yanxi not be interested?

If Qin Ge were willing, Hu Yihui himself would be willing to offer himself up!

"Stop talking nonsense! What do you mean by 'dare' or 'dare'? You make me sound like a bandit!"

Do you know these people drinking with Xia Yanxi?

Qin Ge pointed to the man closest to Xia Yanxi, "Who is he?"

"Lu Qi!" Hu Yihui exclaimed, following Qin Ge's finger. "The eldest son of the Lu family in Jinling. This Lu family is no ordinary family!"

In short, they're rich!

"The Lu family is probably much stronger than the Xia family, but Lu Qi has a bad reputation; he's a playboy."

"That bastard probably has more women around him than I do, and the worst part is he has absolutely no professional ethics; he's done plenty of bad things like 'smashing the pot after eating his fill'!"

"The man behind him is Peng Jiashu," Hu Yihui pointed to the man behind Lu Qi. "His situation is similar to Lu Qi's; both of them are notorious in Jinling."

"Because of the Lu and Peng families' influence in Jinling, no one dared to say anything. Those two even had an inflated sense of self-importance, thinking themselves incredibly charming and captivating to countless young women!"

"I really don't understand why Xia Yanxi is hanging out with these people!"

"Could it be that she's actually quite promiscuous, and we were just fooled by her innocent appearance?"

"No wonder you're not interested in her, Uncle. Did you figure it out a long time ago?"

"Uncle, you're amazing! You have such sharp eyes..."

"What utter nonsense!" Qin Ge interrupted Hu Yihui's rambling, her gaze scrutinizing him. "Your intelligence work is quite good!"

Hu Yihui laughed smugly, "I have a few friends in Nanjing too, I just checked!"

"Ordinary people are hard to investigate, but investigating young masters like Lu Qi is too easy!"

"I'll go meet them!" Qin Ge saw Lu Qi blocking her view while he was toasting with Xia Yanxi, and quietly made a hand gesture to Peng Jiashu behind her.

Peng Jiashu understood and quickly poured a packet of powder into a wine bottle.

Qin Ge has a close relationship with the Xia family and is currently the president of the Lianqing Association. Although he is only in name so far, he cannot be ignored for both personal and practical reasons.

Besides, we're already here.

As Qin Ge reached the door, she suddenly stopped. "Why don't you make a call and ask Hong Zhendong to come over?"

"Brother Dong?" Hu Yihui immediately became unhappy. "Uncle, why did you call Brother Dong here?"

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Anything Dong-ge can do, I can do too, and I guarantee I'll do it perfectly!"

He patted his chest and assured them, full of confidence.

"What are you getting so worked up about!" Qin Ge rolled her eyes at Hu Yihui again, annoyed. "I'm too lazy to explain to you."

"Hong Zhendong has experience with this; you should learn from him this time!"

Qin Ge walked out of the office and, led by one of his underlings, headed to the private room where Xia Yanxi was.

"Yan Xi, is it really you?"

"I thought I was seeing things!"

Qin Ge pushed open the door to the private room, her expression of surprise belying her true feelings.

When Lu Qi and the others saw Qin Ge suddenly appear, they were all stunned for a moment, still holding wine glasses in their hands.

"It's you?" Xia Yanxi was also somewhat surprised.

"Honey, why didn't you invite me to drink? And you're still angry with me?" Qin Ge walked past Xia Yanxi. "Are these all your friends?"

He moved incredibly fast; before Peng Jiashu could react, the wine bottle in his hand was already in Qin Ge's hand.

Honey?

Lu Qi's face darkened, while Xia Yanxi looked completely bewildered.
