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

Qin Ge gently patted Dong Jin's shoulder. "Tell Zheng Hongyin that my name is Qin Ge and I live in Yunqi Residence."

"If you want revenge or to vent your anger, just come find me!"

"Take this dim-witted Zheng Zhanming and get out of here!"

Dong Jin's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He remained silent, only turning around with difficulty to give a wink to the person behind him.

The men immediately understood and quickly carried Zheng Zhanming out.

Dong Jin didn't not want to say anything, but he didn't dare. His shoulder blade was broken, and he was gritting his teeth and enduring it.

If I say the wrong thing, I might get my head smashed.

This seemingly harmless young man is absolutely terrifying!

The door to the private room closed, and Qin Ge smiled at Zheng Shaoqing, "Young Master Zheng, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Still trying to play dumb?"

"Weren't you just trying to provoke Zheng Zhanming into making a move against me?"

"Now that you've got what you wanted, aren't you satisfied?"

"I..." Zheng Shaoqing wanted to argue, but after a moment's internal struggle, he realized it was pointless. "Yes!"

"I admit I don't dare offend Zheng Zhanming, so I wanted to use someone else to do my dirty work, and at the same time see just how tough you really are!"

Zheng Qiuyi was stunned, a sense of foreboding washing over her. She shuddered and quickly grabbed Qin Ge, crying, "Don't hit him!"

"My brother isn't very tall to begin with, so treating his leg is quite troublesome. It'll be even more of a headache if his room is next to Zheng Zhanming's!"

She glared at Zheng Shaoqing. "Brother, you're a leopard can't change its spots!"

"Why can't you ever forget to scheme against others? Do you even understand how you're scheming?"

Zheng Shaoqing: "..."

Qin Ge looked at Zheng Hongye, "Mr. Zheng, what about you?"

"Sit down and let's talk!" Zheng Hongye sat back down in his chair first. "Master Qin, I have no intention of using you."

"Using you against Zheng Zhanming is pointless. If you make a move here, the first person my brother will seek justice from will be me!"

"Zheng Zhanming just wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate us. As you said, he was instructed by my elder brother to find an opportunity to conduct an obedience test on us."

"Even if he and Shaoqing have a quarrel, as long as the ultimate goal is achieved, I can say a few nice words to my older brother later, and it won't be a big deal."

"I didn't stop Shaoqing just now because I wanted to see your attitude and how far you would go for Qiuyi!"

Zheng Qiuyi was stunned again. "Dad, why do you have so many ulterior motives?"

Qin Ge pressed her back into the chair. "Isn't it possible that your thought process is too simple?"

"Can one survive in a wealthy family without some cunning?"

Zheng Hongye smiled noncommittally, "Hasn't Hall Master Qin also been scheming against us?"

"You broke Zhanming's legs, and from then on, the conflict between my family and my elder brother's family is irreconcilable. You have essentially blocked our way out."

"Did you deliberately provoke Zhan Ming to make the first move because of the Shadow Martial Hall's rules, so you could claim self-defense and absolve yourself of responsibility?"

"It seems you still have some reservations about the Zheng family. If you're not confident in dealing with them, why are you doing this? Do you really think our lives are insignificant to you?"

"Including Qiu Yi?"

Zheng Qiuyi's beautiful eyes widened in shock, clear and bright.

No, are they talking about something that just happened?

Why are there so many twists and turns? Was I not there just now, or was I distracted? Why didn't I notice anything?

"Are you trying to eat me or what?" Qin Ge found Zheng Qiuyi's expression amusing and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

He then suppressed his smile and said, "Mr. Zheng, you're only right about a tiny bit."

"I hit Zheng Zhanming because he deserved it. That reason far outweighs any other considerations. Whether your escape route is blocked or not, I'm going to beat him up!"

"Luring him into making a move was just to save some trouble."

"I have a good relationship with Qiu Ang from Shadow Martial Arts Hall. They've been quite busy lately, and I just don't want to put them in a difficult position."

"As for whether she lives or dies, you're overthinking it. I wouldn't want Qiu Yi to die. You and Zheng Shaoqing are so casual, but I'm not familiar with them."

"Furthermore, whether I'm wary of the Zheng family or not, you'll know best from Zheng Shaoqing!"

The three members of Zheng Hongye's family looked at each other, their expressions more interesting than the last.

That's right, how could Qin Ge possibly be afraid of the Zheng family? When he beat up Zheng Shaoqing, he didn't take the Zheng family seriously at all!

"No matter what, you hit Zheng Zhanming. You can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Zheng Qiuyi was so touched by Qin Ge's words that she turned into a little girl. "My uncle will definitely take this opportunity to make trouble. You have to find a way to help resolve this!"

"My grandfather will probably hold him accountable directly. Yes, he definitely will!"

"That Zheng Zhanming is the best at currying favor with Grandpa. If something happens to him, he'll definitely tell Grandpa!"

Qin Ge said calmly, "Let them hold me accountable then, what are you all so nervous about?"

"Were you wrong for what you just did?"

"Zheng Zhanming started the trouble first, and Zheng Shaoqing was even beaten. In the end, you didn't do anything. I was the one who did the beating. What are you afraid of?"

"Is this okay?" Zheng Qiuyi stared until her eyes were dry.

"What's wrong with that? Isn't what I said the truth?" Qin Ge shrugged. "I'm not joking with you guys. Just push all the blame onto me."

"If your old man is that unreasonable, do I need to say anything more?"

"Haven't you endured this for so many years enough?"

"Of course, you can choose to continue to put up with it, since I'm not familiar with you anyway."

"Mr. Zheng, think it over carefully first, and then come to Yunxi Residence to find me when you've thought it through."

He stood up and grabbed Zheng Qiuyi's hand. "You have to come back with me. With your IQ, you're not suited to get involved in this."

......

"Dad, what did Qin Ge mean by his last words when he left? He told you to think about it carefully. Think about what?"

Since returning from the Cloud Top Restaurant, Zheng Shaoqing had asked this question several times, but his father had never given a direct answer.

Zheng Hongye glared at his son, then quickly walked towards the study.

Zheng Shaoqing quickly followed and went into the study, closing the door behind him.

"Qin Ge's mind works too fast, and his eyes are sharp too. It's like he sees right through me!"

"How could you possibly have gotten yourself into trouble with someone like that? If it weren't for Qiu Yi, and the fact that he happens to like her, we would have been completely finished!"

Zheng Shaoqing was completely confused. "Dad, I understand what you're saying. It's true that we owe a lot to Qiuyi. Our family has benefited from her."

"But what does all this have to do with the questions I'm asking you?"

"He also mentioned his grandfather, implying that we should stop tolerating this?"

"But we have no choice!"

On the other side, Zheng Qiuyi was also asking Qin Ge the same question.
