Two days later, Qin Hui received a letter from the Qin family's messenger.
The letter was very simple, asking Qin Hui to explain why he had killed Lone Wolf, and stating that there would be a price to pay.
It requested Qin Hui to personally come to Yanjing to explain himself, as this was the only way Qin Hui could survive.
After reading the letter, Qin Hui let out a long sigh.
The letter spoke of justice, but in reality, it was an invitation to a banquet of treachery.
The reason was simple: Qin Hui was the most powerful figure in Jiangnan Province, and members of the Sun family and the Qin family had both died there.
Only Qin Hui could have been responsible for these actions in Jiangnan Province. Regardless of whether Lone Wolf's death was related to Qin Hui, someone had to take responsibility.
Thus, this responsibility fell upon Qin Hui. This was how the Qin family operated: if they thought you did it, then you did it, without any evidence or reason.
Most importantly, Qin Hui had indeed done these things, but the other party was too strong and had not given Qin Hui any chance to explain.
Furthermore, Qin Hui had previously refused an invitation from the Qin family, giving them ample excuse to deal with him.
To them, the presence or absence of Qin Hui made no difference. Since that was the case, why not drag Qin Hui down with them!
Qin Hui knew he had to attend this banquet of treachery. If he didn't, the consequences would be beyond his ability to bear.
If it were just Qin Hui, he might have chosen to flee and seek revenge later, but Qin Hui now had too many attachments.
Qin Hui himself would be fine, but he had to consider his family. Qin Hui knew that confronting the Qin family directly was impossible.
If Qin Hui refused to go, Jiang Yanxi, her company, and Sister Xue would all be severely affected.
No matter what, Qin Hui had to attend this banquet of treachery!
"It came so quickly."
Qin Hui exhaled. Before this, Qin Hui had anticipated the Qin family would make a move against him.
This was because someone had to bear the consequences for Lone Wolf's death, and in Jiangnan Province, that person could only be Qin Hui.
If Qin Hui didn't go, he would inevitably face retaliation from the Qin family.
If he went, despite the dangers, Qin Hui would at least have some room to maneuver.
The only way to turn the tide of this situation was for a divine figure to appear, someone who was an enemy of the Qin family, and whose strength was immense, to take the blame for everything.
But where could such a divine figure be found?
The only way was for Qin Hui to go to Yanjing.
Regarding Yanjing, his homeland, Qin Hui harbored infinite emotions and sighs, but these had vanished like smoke when he was young.
Qin Hui chose to keep this matter a secret, as he saw no need to worry Jiang Yanxi and the others.
After packing his belongings, Qin Hui boarded a plane to Yanjing.
Qin Hui had previously imagined returning to Yanjing in any number of ways, but he never expected it to be like this.
Since he had chosen to return, Qin Hui knew that his story and this city were inextricably linked.
The next morning, as Qin Hui stepped off the plane, he took a deep breath of the smoggy air.
Since this was a banquet of treachery, Qin Hui had come with a resolve to die. The only thing Qin Hui could do was to take several lives with him, preferably those of high status.
After disembarking, Qin family escorts approached and ushered Qin Hui into a car.
"Well, well, a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Qin family really knows how to treat its guests."
The corner of Qin Hui's mouth curved upwards with a disingenuous smile.
The escorts smiled slightly, thinking, 'This person who is about to die speaks too much.'
The journey was silent. Qin Hui even felt a sense of anticipation for the upcoming banquet of treachery, hoping it wouldn't disappoint him.
Soon, the car arrived at a luxurious hotel.
Inside a private room in the hotel sat many people, all of whom Qin Hui didn't recognize. The only one Qin Hui found strange was a dwarf with a thick beard.
"Qin Hui, hello. My name is Sun Wutian, the second eldest son of the Sun family."
The short man Sun smiled, his expression placid, but his eyes held an unusual gleam.
This gleam was filled with scrutiny, wondering how Qin Hui had managed to eliminate the two Sun family heirs.
"I heard the Sun family has three heirs. If I were to eliminate you too, wouldn't the Sun family have no heirs left?"
Qin Hui casually sat down, placing his feet directly on the table with an arrogant air.
Since he was in Yanjing, Qin Hui wanted to project an aura of near-arrogance, to cast a veil of mystery over his opponents.
"Presumptuous!"
A guard, enraged, lunged at Qin Hui with a punch.
Although the room was filled with people, they were all martial artists, clearly with ill intentions.
And Qin Hui's aim was to show them who was boss!
Bang!
Qin Hui caught the guard's arm with his backhand and, before the guard could react, applied force.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking echoed in everyone's ears.
"Ah!"
The guard let out a scream of pain.
But before he could scream further, Qin Hui kicked him directly in the groin.
The kick was fast and ruthless, and in an instant, the guard clutched his lower body and fainted.
He hadn't even had a chance to resist throughout the entire process.
Everyone's eyes were filled with fury. Qin Hui's actions clearly showed he held them in contempt.
After all, they were martial artists from Yanjing, with a sense of pride ingrained in their bones. To be so publicly humiliated today, they naturally couldn't suppress their temper.
Sun Wutian's expression darkened considerably upon seeing this, but he was unable to act.
"What are you all looking at? If you're not happy, you can try too."
Qin Hui said provocatively.
Since he was here, Qin Hui intended to be as audacious as possible, otherwise, it would have been a wasted trip.
"Strange, if this is a Qin family banquet of treachery, why is a Sun family member here? Where are the Qin family members?"
"Or are you planning to pin this blame on me?"
"Indeed, your family is large and prosperous, but it cannot guarantee that everyone is capable. Such a large family is bound to have a few useless parasites."
Qin Hui said with a wild laugh, showing no respect to Sun Wutian or the others.
Qin Hui's words turned everyone's faces ashen, but they dared not act openly against Qin Hui because they couldn't defeat him.
Even if this was a banquet of treachery, it wouldn't be considered one until the feast began. They hadn't even started the meal yet.
Everything that happened in the private room was observed by Qin Long.
"Boring, let's go back,"
Qin Long said with disappointment.
He had expected Qin Hui to be something special, but it turned out he was just like this.
Facing such an opponent, Qin Long didn't even have the desire to deal with him.
