"It was Mr. Ling who paid us handsoly to do the job," the n said. "He assured us that Miss Ling would be on this flight, and that taking action here would be foolproof. We're just getting paid to do a job, nothing more; the rest, we don't know."
The leading man continued, "Big brother, we have told you everything we know. Can you let us off the hook? The pain is unbearable, I can hardly take it anymore."
Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Did I ever agree to let you go?"
"What?" The three n froze on the spot, gawping at Qin Jiang. "Are you playing us? When you're in the jianghu, what matters is keeping your word..."
"Foolish dogs, who said anything about keeping my word?" Qin Jiang slapped them repeatedly.
The three n passed out completely.
Ling Qingxue turned to Feng Lin, "You take care of these three."
"Yes!" Feng Lin nodded.
Ling Qingxue slowly sat down, a trace of gloom flashing across her pretty face.
Qin Jiang shook his head. "I had no idea you had such a 'wonderful' brother willing to hire soone to kill you."
Ling Qingxue sighed.
"We have always been at odds."
"Especially after the incident with Jiangge Group, he has hated even more. This flight belongs to the Ling Family's businesses, I thought it would be safer to take this one, but I didn't expect him to be audacious enough to have soone make a move on this flight!"
Qin Jiang just listened quietly, not saying a word.
He was no stranger to this type of ruthless competition among the scions of powerful families, with in-fighting and turned backs between siblings being all too common.
Xu Muge reminded, "Miss Ling, you can't keep being passive, or he will only push you further. You should strike back when the ti cos, and also, take care of yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Xu." Ling Qingxue nodded and continued, "To be honest, although Ling Xiangyang and I have never gotten along, he never used to go to such extre asures!"
"Now, with my grandfather's health failing, Ling Xiangyang wants to take this opportunity to rise to power. The main competitor for him is , plus the loss he suffered from a recent investnt has driven him to desperation!"
"By eliminating , his chances would go up to over ninety percent."
At this point, Ling Qingxue let out a long sigh. "Let's not discuss my family matters anymore. What about you? What brings you to Zhonghai?"
Xu Muge answered, "Jiangge Group is looking to expand into the overseas market. Hearing that a delegation from the International dical Alliance has co here, I decided to et with them."
"I see," Ling Qingxue responded. "There's sothing I need to warn you about."
"What is it?"
"Ling Xiangyang now wants to make a na for himself, so he's aiming to lead the Ling Family in branching out into new business channels, mainly dealing with overseas pharmaceuticals. I've heard he's even gotten in touch with the dical Alliance's delegation! After suffering a setback in his attempt to ambush Jiangge Group, be careful he might try to trip you up."
"Thank you for the heads up."
Xu Muge fell into deep thought. With the delegation from the International dical Alliance visiting Zhonghai, it was natural to spark intense competition amongst the major pharmaceuticals.
She had not expected the Ling Family, one of Zhonghai's top clans, to also be involved. It seed that Jiangge Group's efforts to break into the overseas market would be fraught with challenges!
"It's a pity that this new channel was proposed by Ling Xiangyang, and he is fully in charge of it. I have no say in this matter," Ling Qingxue said. "However, if you need any help in Zhonghai, just ask !"
Xu Muge nodded, "Then I'll thank Miss Ling in advance."
As they conversed, the plane began to descend, and they arrived successfully at Zhonghai Airport.
After disembarking, Ling Qingxue smiled, "I have other matters to handle and cannot play the gracious host for now, but let's find an opportunity to have a al together another day."
Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Alright, go and do what you must."
Ling Qingxue gazed deeply at Qin Jiang before waving goodbye and leaving.
In the mont she turned away, a hint of lancholy appeared on her face.
In the end,
seeing the rapport between Qin Jiang and Xu Muge, she truly envied Xu Muge. Yet, deep down, she felt a lingering sense of unwillingness...
"Master," Blood Eagle approached Qin Jiang, "We have arranged accommodations. I need to inform you about the current situation of the eastern branch of Dragon Hall."
"Go ahead," said Qin Jiang indifferently.
"Currently, the eastern branch of Dragon Hall has yet to elect a Hall Master. In two days, the internal vote will be held to select a candidate from the younger generation to compete with the representatives sent from above."
"I will arrange for you to join Dragon Hall, but your true identity will remain unknown to outsiders for the ti being. Due to the sensitivity of your identity, it's better not to let too many people know, to avoid unnecessary complications. Therefore, while in Dragon Hall, I might address you by your na, please forgive the indiscretion."
"It doesn't matter," Qin Jiang wasn't one to place importance on formal titles.
"Another important thing to note is that carrying the Candidacy Command Token and arriving at the eastern branch out of the blue might lead to discontent among the elders. You'll likely face opposition, so be ntally prepared to deal with it!"
"You'll be contending not only with the outstanding young mbers of Dragon Hall but may also have to deal with challenges from the older generation..."
