"What’s not appropriate?" Gu Xuesheng said arrogantly. "Ye Xiu is nothing but a fart in my eyes. If you don’t believe , feel free to call him over. I’ll still call him a fart right to his face."
"You..." Qin Qing was furious. "Gu Xuesheng, I don’t care what issues you have with Feng Wanli, but I will not allow you to insult Ye Xiu. If you dare to insult him again, don’t bla for what happens next."
"Are you threatening ?" Gu Xuesheng asked disdainfully.
"That’s right!" Qin Qing said coldly. "I’ll make this perfectly clear: if you dare to insult Ye Xiu one more ti, I’ll make you regret that you weren’t born a mute."
"Ooh, ooh! Everyone, did you hear that? She’s threatening ! Oh my, I’m so scared," Gu Xuesheng feigned terror.
"Hahahaha..." Gu Xuesheng’s friends joined in with mocking laughter.
"Young Master Gu, this chick dares to threaten you. Why don’t you teach her a lesson?"
"This woman’s looks and figure are exquisite. She’s just my type! Young Master Gu, why don’t you give her to ?"
"To think she can threaten Young Master Gu just because she’s pretty... she’s truly courting death. Young Master Gu, strip her naked and throw her into the hunting grounds!"
His friends jeered without any restraint, their words making Qin Qing’s face turn pale with anger.
anwhile, Leng Yue’s eyes were already brimming with killing intent. If not for a word from Ye Xiu, Gu Xuesheng would already be a corpse.
"Listen up, little lady," Gu Xuesheng snarled, getting right in Qin Qing’s face. "Ye Xiu is just a fart! Even my dog is more valuable than him—"
SLAP!
Qin Qing’s palm cracked across Gu Xuesheng’s face, slapping the rest of his words back down his throat.
The slap was powerful and shockingly sudden. It left Gu Xuesheng completely stunned.
Gu Xuesheng’s friends and Feng Wanli were equally stunned. They truly hadn’t expected Qin Qing to resort to violence.
Ye Xiu and Leng Yue, however, were not surprised at all. In fact, they rather admired Qin Qing’s actions.
"This slap is a warning. Insult him again, and it won’t be that simple," Qin Qing said coldly.
"You fucking dare to hit ? Do you have a death wish?" Gu Xuesheng raged.
"Young Master Gu, this bitch dared to slap you! She’s asking to die! Get her!"
"She’s got so nerve, daring to hit Young Master Gu! That bitch is finished!"
"Little lady, you probably don’t know who Young Master Gu is, do you? You actually dared to hit him. You can just wait to die."
Gu Xuesheng’s dozen or so friends roared indignantly, looking as if they would pounce the mont he gave the word.
"Feng Wanli, are you just going to stand there and watch Qin Qing get bullied for defending you?" Ye Xiu asked, looking at him. This was also a test to see if Feng Wanli had any backbone and was worth associating with.
"Gu Xuesheng, first you insult my brother, Ye Xiu, and now you plan to bully the Chairwoman of Zhulu Group, Qin Qing. I don’t think you plan on leaving Jin Ye City alive," Feng Wanli said coldly.
What?
The expressions of Gu Xuesheng’s friends changed instantly as they stared at Qin Qing in shock.
This impossibly beautiful woman was actually the Chairwoman of the world’s most mysterious conglorate, Zhulu Group.
The most mysterious person in the world was widely recognized to be Huang Quan, as no one had ever seen their true face. The most mysterious company, in turn, was the Zhulu Group.
No one knew who owned Zhulu Group, the scale of its operations, or how much liquid capital it actually commanded. The unknown is what makes sothing terrifying.
It was precisely because the Zhulu Group was so mysterious that almost no one in the business world dared to make an enemy of them.
"What’s the matter? Scared now?" Feng Wanli gloated upon seeing Gu Xuesheng’s grave expression.
"Pah!"
Gu Xuesheng spat in Feng Wanli’s face and said with contempt, "Feng Wanli, have you no sha? First, you bring up Ye Xiu, and now you’re dragging out the Chairwoman of Zhulu Group. You think that’s enough to scare ?"
With that, he raised his crossbow and aid it at Feng Wanli. "Get Ye Xiu over here right now. I’ll beat both him and this Zhulu Group Chairwoman to a pulp right in front of you. If you don’t call him, I’ll turn you into a human pincushion."
"This..." Feng Wanli finally lost his composure. He hadn’t expected that ntioning either Ye Xiu or Qin Qing would fail to intimidate Gu Xuesheng.
"I’ll count to three. If you haven’t called Ye Xiu by then, I’ll put an arrow in you," Gu Xuesheng said icily.
Feng Wanli panicked. He didn’t know Ye Xiu at all, let alone have his phone number. What the hell was he supposed to do? But he knew Gu Xuesheng all too well. They had been rivals since childhood, and he knew that Gu Xuesheng always followed through on his threats.
"Fine, you wait. My phone’s in the car. I’ll go get it," Feng Wanli said, steeling himself before leaving the Armory.
Ye Xiu, Qin Qing, An Dongye, and Leng Yue watched Feng Wanli run out. He isn’t taking this opportunity to flee, is he? they wondered.
At that mont, Gu Xuesheng turned his cold gaze on Qin Qing. "Chairwoman Qin, in my entire life, no one has ever laid a hand on . I will repay the slap you gave tenfold, no, a hundredfold."
"You want to slap a hundred tis?" Qin Qing asked coolly.
"Hmph. Slapping in public was a humiliation. A hundred slaps in return wouldn’t be enough to restore my honor," Gu Xuesheng sneered. "When Ye Xiu gets here, I’ll take plenty of photos and videos to post online. I’ll make you truly famous."
"If you actually do that, you won’t have many minutes left to live," Qin Qing replied.
"Hmph. Still trying to threaten , even now? Just you wait," Gu Xuesheng snarled, forcibly suppressing the urge to retaliate against Qin Qing on the spot.
"Fine. I’ll be waiting," Qin Qing said coldly.
Just then, Feng Wanli ran back in.
This puzzled Ye Xiu, Qin Qing, and Leng Yue. Why did this guy co back? Does he have a death wish?
"Gu Xuesheng, I’ve got my phone. Are you sure you want to call Ye Xiu?" Feng Wanli said with a sneer. "I’ll give you one last chance. If you get on your knees and give a hundred resounding kowtows, and then let Chairwoman Qin slap you a few more tis, I can refrain from calling Ye Xiu."
"Cut the crap," Gu Xuesheng said, aiming his crossbow at Feng Wanli. "Call Ye Xiu now! Imdiately! At once! Or I’ll turn you into a human beehive right here and now."
"Fine! Since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish!"
Seeing that Gu Xuesheng’s fury had reached the breaking point, Feng Wanli didn’t dare to bluff any longer and imdiately dialed a number.
Then...
Ye Xiu’s phone rang.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
"Little brother, Feng Wanli is calling Ye Xiu, so why is your phone ringing?" An Dongye asked.
Ye Xiu was also confused. It was impossible for Feng Wanli to know his phone number. Could it be a coincidence?
He took out his phone and saw it was an unknown number. He answered the call but said nothing.
Waiting for Ye Xiu to answer, Feng Wanli heard the call connect and hurriedly said, "Divine Doctor Ye, hello. This is Feng Wanli of the Feng Family. I’m at Qiancheng Farm, and Gu Xuesheng is here publicly calling you a fart, viciously insulting you..."
When he finished, there was still no sound from the other end of the line. Feng Wanli asked tentatively, "Hello? Divine Doctor Ye? Are you there?"
Ye Xiu’s lips twitched. "And if I said I was, wouldn’t that be mortifying for you?"
