"Brother, Wang Qiang poked again, and the teacher told the other kids not to play with . They even called a wild child..." Xuexue grew more agitated as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. "His dad also said he wants you to co, get on your knees, apologize, and pay them money..."
Hearing this, Qin Long clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with a rciless killing intent. It seems so people won’t learn their lesson unless they’re taught harshly!
"Xuexue is really scared. Can you co to school with , Brother?" Xue’er pleaded, blinking her red-rimd eyes.
"Of course. This will be our little secret," Qin Long said. "So, let’s not tell Mom, okay?"
Xuexue nodded obediently. "Pinky promise," she said, holding out her little finger.
Qin Long smiled indulgently and hooked his finger with hers.
"Xuexue, Mom bought you your favorite buns!" Tang Yuehua’s voice ca from the tablet.
"Brother, I have to go now," Xuexue said, imdiately ending the video call.
Feeling uneasy, Qin Long grabbed his crutch and slowly pushed open Tang Xuewu’s door.
"Qin Long, did Xuexue need sothing from you?"
Tang Xuewu was lying on her bed in her pajamas. Her glossy black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her slender, delicate legs swung up and down in a very tempting manner.
Qin Long paused for a mont before hurriedly explaining, "It seems she has to participate in so school event, and she asked for my help." He didn’t want her to worry, so he made up an excuse.
Tang Xuewu gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and sighed softly. "Aunt Yuehua is in such a pitiful situation. Especially without Father’s affection, she must feel so inferior." A hint of sadness entered her eyes.
"Regardless, Xuexue and Aunt Yuehua have been good to us. Even when we were the ones who fell on hard tis, they never gave up on us," Qin Long said, clenching his fist with determination. "I, Qin Long, will never allow anyone to hurt them." Even if it concerns a child’s problem, it’s no small matter.
"Thank you, Qin Long." Tang Xuewu smiled at him, then suddenly noticed a corner of her pajamas had slipped, nearly exposing herself.
Qin Long gave an awkward smile and left to get so rest.
「The next morning.」
News that Wang Ming had booked the entire Longquan Hotel to celebrate a fiftieth anniversary with the Tang Family was spreading like wildfire. Thanks to Tang Yuxiang and his ultimate sycophants, the news had already reached everyone in the Tang Family, with the sole exception of Tang Xuewu and her small household. After all, the main family had never truly liked their branch.
At this rate, the news would sweep through all of Jiangzhong in less than three days. Everyone would know that Wang Ming had booked the entire Longquan Hotel for Tang Xuewu’s sake, all to curry favor with the Tang Family.
「anwhile, at Jiangzhong First Experintal Primary School.」
Tang Yuehua stepped out of her electric car with Xuexue in tow, her expression helpless. Xuexue was wearing a purple dress, her bangs stylishly arranged for the day, with two cute pink dolls decorating her skirt. She looked just like a little pixie.
She was in a very good mood, waving her small hands and bouncing with excitent. However, her watery eyes kept darting around the school grounds, a hint of anxiety in her gaze. Brother promised he’d co with .
"Oh, and Mommy," Xuexue asked, shaking Tang Yuehua’s hand with a puzzled expression, "why didn’t you call Brother Qin Long? That Uncle Wang said he wanted him to co in person, right?"
"Because they’ve brought so very dangerous n with them this ti, Sweetie. Brother would be at a disadvantage," Tang Yuehua quickly explained. Having witnessed Qin Long’s ruthlessness before, she was worried he would get into serious trouble.
After all, this is supposed to be a society governed by law, isn’t it? And it seems the other party is very powerful. Rumor has it they’re a branch of the prominent Wang Family of Jiangzhong. All they’d need to hire are a few experts to handle Qin Long easily.
Therefore, Tang Yuehua decided not to tell Qin Long, thinking she might be able to resolve the problem by simply bowing her head and apologizing.
Xuexue imdiately shook her head. "No, that’s not true! Brother Qin Long is the strongest! He once smashed a brick with a single punch!"
"Your Brother Qin Long is very busy, so let’s not trouble him," Tang Yuehua said, sounding helpless. "Besides, he’ll be leaving the Tang Family soon. We can’t keep bothering him."
"I won’t let him go!" Xuexue cried, her hands flying to her face to rub her tear-filled eyes. "He promised to take to the amusent park in the provincial capital! And to fly kites with !"
Tang Yuehua imdiately crouched down to comfort her.
Tang Yuehua had already heard that Wang Ming had booked the entire Longquan Hotel for a Tang Family banquet. She had also seen the old patriarch’s unequivocal support for the matter, a clear sign that he intended to marry Xuewu off to Wang Ming. This was definitely a pri opportunity. Knowing her father, he would surely use this to expel Qin Long and force Xuewu into the marriage. What would happen to Qin Long then?
"Well, well, if it isn’t Xuexue’s mother," a voice dripped with ice-cold disdain. "What are you doing just standing there?"
It was Principal Zou. Terrified by his fierce expression, Xuexue imdiately lowered her head in silence. The principal had taken to intimidating her ever since their last encounter.
"Xuexue, we didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t be afraid," Tang Yuehua said, scooping her daughter up. "Mom’s here. Everything will be fine."
She carried Xuexue into the office. The room was filled with countless folders and a printer. Along one side were rows of plain white desks. On one desk, however, which was draped with a valuable painting, sat a young man in a purple suit.
It was Wang Hu, the so-called "Young Master Wang" from their last encounter. Beside him sat several other young n in expensive clothes. Behind them stood four tall, sturdy n with tattoos of Azure Dragons and White Tigers on their arms, looking absolutely fearso.
The mont Xuexue saw them, she clutched tightly to her mother’s clothes. Tang Yuehua’s eyes widened involuntarily, but she stood her ground, protectively shielding her daughter. The four thugs, each towering over 190 centiters, stood with their arms crossed and fierce expressions, a nacing air about them. They were clearly hardened gangsters. Tang Yuehua had never witnessed such an intimidating sight.
"What, is that cripple too scared to show up?" Wang Hu sneered, glaring at Tang Yuehua. "I told him to get on his knees, kowtow, and apologize. Did he chicken out already?"
"Young Master Wang, we’re here to resolve this. Let’s not be rash," Tang Yuehua said, gritting her teeth and forcing herself to be brave.
"Resolve my ass!" Wang Hu barked, then turned his cold glare to the young man beside him. "Jin Yuan, this is your company’s school. You tell what we should do."
The young man forced a smile, then turned to Tang Yuehua with an arrogant look. "Hello, ma’am. I am Jin Yuan, the General Manager of Jin Corporation. Jiangzhong First Experintal Primary School is part of our group."
Hearing this, the color drained from Tang Yuehua’s face. Jin Corporation was a very well-regarded group in Jiangzhong. Never mind her own fallen status; even if her father were willing to intervene, the Jin Corporation wouldn’t show them any deference.
Wang Hu’s eyes road over Tang Yuehua’s body with unchecked brazenness. He brought Jin Yuan here not only to teach her a lesson but also as part of a larger conspiracy: to kill with a borrowed knife.
That cripple might dare to hit a principal or my bodyguards, but he would never dare to lay a finger on Jin Yuan. Even if Jin Yuan decided to take a crap on his head, he’d just have to endure it. After all, power is what paves the way in this day and age.
A gloating expression spread across Wang Hu’s face.
"My purpose for coming here today," he began, "is quite simple."
