Just as he was about to make a move, Tang Xuewu stopped him.
"You useless cripple, what are you doing back here?" Zhang ilan glared at Qin Long, cursing him through clenched teeth. "For Grandfather’s birthday, you actually gifted poisoned wine! Huarong Dao, the Zhao Family’s chief elder and a Divine Doctor, saw through your trick on the spot. You’re trying to get us all killed!"
"That’s because he’s an ignorant fool who can’t recognize a true treasure," Qin Long replied, giving Zhang ilan a cold smirk.
Even Tang Xuewu found this hard to believe. After all, Huarong Dao’s reputation was imnse; if he said the wine was poisoned, it was almost certainly true.
"Qin Long, did you really try to poison Grandfather?" Tang Xuewu’s expression was filled with disappointnt and astonishnt.
"It’s not like that," Qin Long said, raising an eyebrow.
"Hmph! He’s truly heartless and ungrateful," Zhang ilan spat. "Who knows, one day he might even harm you, my precious girl. It’s better to kick him out now to prevent future trouble." Zhang ilan had made up her mind. She would lie if she had to, just to get rid of this foolish cripple.
"The words of Divine Doctor Huarong Dao are absolutely trustworthy. A-Long, this is the last ti I’ll call you that. Even if Grandpa was being unreasonable, you can’t plot to take his life! He’s my family! I won’t allow anyone to harm my family. I am so disappointed in you!" Tang Xuewu glared at him coldly, finally screaming, "Leave the Tang Family!"
"Xuewu, you don’t believe ?" Qin Long shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"The evidence is right in front of my eyes. How am I supposed to believe you?" Tang Xuewu sobbed, biting her lip.
Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Zhang ilan watched Qin Long with a sneer on her face. Haha, this damned cripple is finally leaving.
"Xuewu, the reason I stayed with the Tang Family after regaining my mory was to repay your kindness," Qin Long said, his gaze intensely serious. "If I leave now, I might never return to Jiangzhong."
"I took care of you because I wanted to. You don’t owe anything. Get out! Get out right now!" Tang Xuewu’s delicate fra trembled with anger as tears stread down her beautiful face.
Over the years, Tang Xuewu had grown used to having the foolish A-Long around, gradually developing a familial affection for him. At this mont, she didn’t understand the ache in her heart. But he never, ever should have tried to harm her grandfather with poisoned wine. That was her bottom line!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
At that mont, the sound of an airplane echoed from the sky. A white private jet, emblazoned with the massive Yaolong Group logo, flew swiftly toward the open ground near the Tang family’s courtyard.
The jet door opened, and more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits appeared in perfect formation at the entrance.
"dical Immortal Qin, please forgive our sudden intrusion!" a curvaceous, middle-aged woman in a purple evening gown walked slowly toward Qin Long. The bodyguards behind her bowed in unison.
"Greetings, dical Immortal Qin!"
Zhang ilan was petrified on the spot. Tang Xuewu was also instantly stunned.
This is... These people seem incredibly influential! A private jet like that must cost several hundred million, right? And they’re being so respectful to Qin Long? The shock was imnse for both Zhang ilan and Tang Xuewu. How could Qin Long, a foolish cripple, know such important people?
Qin Long himself was sowhat puzzled. He didn’t know any prestigious families in Jiangzhong.
"dical Immortal Qin, I am Zhao Ruoying of the Yaolong Group," the woman in the purple gown said with the utmost respect as she descended from the private jet. "I heard of Young Master Qin’s exceptional dical skills and ca especially to pay you a visit."
"Oh my, it’s Mrs. Zhao!" Tang Xuewu couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Zhao Ruoying’s prestige in Jiangzhong was exceedingly high. She was the second-largest shareholder of the Yaolong Group and possessed imnse influence. The Tang Family was nothing compared to the Zhao Family; they were worlds apart. And this was Zhao Ruoying, the famous "Iron Lady," taking the initiative to visit Qin Long?
Furthermore, hadn’t the Zhao Family’s own chief elder just exposed Qin Long’s poisoned wine trick? Why was she showing him such respect now? Tang Xuewu was plunged into confusion, while Zhang ilan stood by nervously, terrified her lie was about to be exposed.
Qin Long glanced at Zhao Ruoying indifferently, showing no reaction. No matter how noble her status, it ant nothing to him. He was once the commander of the Southern Heavenly Dragon Army, granted the title of Nine-Star Dragon Marshal at the tender age of eighteen. Power and money were his for the taking.
"dical Immortal Qin, I beg you, please help ." Seeing Qin Long’s attitude, Zhao Ruoying felt a flash of annoyance, but for the sake of her precious one’s illness, she maintained her smile.
"A-Long, you should help Mrs. Zhao," Tang Xuewu whispered to Qin Long, worried about offending her.
"Fine. If you say I should help, then I will," Qin Long said, picking up his crutch and hobbling toward Zhao Ruoying. A shapely female assistant imdiately moved forward to support him.
"Mrs. Zhao, what help do you need from Qin Long? Please speak freely," Tang Xuewu said, taking a deep breath and eyeing Mrs. Zhao with suspicion.
"It’s rely a private family matter that requires dical Immortal Qin’s intervention," Zhao Ruoying replied with a faint smile. "Miss Xuewu is a very understanding wife. dical Immortal Qin is a fortunate man indeed! Rest assured, I will not forget Miss Tang’s kindness, and I hope to cooperate with the Tang Family in the future."
With that, she began to board the plane.
"He has trouble walking, so please be careful with him," Tang Xuewu shouted toward the plane, her face etched with worry. "If anything unexpected happens, notify imdiately! He has a sachet with my phone number on it in his pocket."
"You can rest assured, Miss Xuewu," Zhao Ruoying called back, nodding firmly. "With here, dical Immortal Qin will be perfectly safe." She then personally helped Qin Long onto the plane.
The jet quickly disappeared into the sky.
Tang Xuewu turned, her expression dark as she glared at Zhang ilan.
"Mom, how could you fra A-Long?" she demanded coldly, her pretty face flushed with anger. She hadn’t believed it at first, but seeing Zhao Ruoying’s attitude toward Qin Long proved her mother was hiding sothing.
"What did I fra him for?" Zhang ilan’s face turned red, but she replied with shaless defiance.
"If the wine A-Long sent was really poisoned, why would the renowned Iron Lady co to invite him personally? When has Mrs. Zhao ever been so polite to anyone!" Tang Xuewu trembled with anger, her teeth clenched.
"I... How would I know!" Zhang ilan retorted stubbornly. "Maybe the Yaolong Group is developing toxic wines for... pest control?"
Looking at her mother with utter frustration and disappointnt, Tang Xuewu stord off. "Fine then! I’ll call Mrs. Zhao myself and ask her!" she yelled back before slamming her bedroom door.
Zhang ilan stomped her feet in fury, cursing Qin Long through clenched teeth. It seems that dicinal wine of his really is sothing special. But what does that even matter? How can a small bottle of dicinal wine compare to the Wang Family, one of Jiangzhong’s most powerful families? In my eyes, Wang Ming is the one and only choice for a perfect, wealthy son-in-law.
「Aboard the plane」
Just as Zhao Ruoying was about to speak, she was startled by Qin Long’s next move.
