The downfall of the Han Corporation left Lin Wansheng and his daughter completely without support.
Now, they could only beg for Qin Hanchu’s forgiveness.
Even becoming Qin Hanchu’s concubine would bring tremendous benefits to the Linhai Group.
Most importantly, Lin Wansheng would no longer have to endure his suffering.
“I already have eight engagements. If I wanted a concubine, it wouldn’t be your turn.”
“Someone like you is perhaps only good for a fling.”
Qin Hanchu believed that “nature is hard to change.”
Therefore, he would not be soft-hearted because of Lin Jiaxue’s tears.
“If you let my father go, I’m willing to give myself to you.”
“I’ll agree to any request,” Lin Jiaxue quickly said.
Qin Hanchu did not reply. He beckoned to a nearby waiter.
Seeing that Qin Hanchu needed him, the waiter hurried over and respectfully asked, “Mr. Qin, how may I help you?”
“This lady has disturbed my meal. Please escort her out,” Qin Hanchu said, pointing at Lin Jiaxue.
Lin Jiaxue hadn’t expected Qin Hanchu to dismiss her.
She had been prepared to reveal herself, but Qin Hanchu was unmoved?
“What exactly do you want us to do for you to let us go?” Lin Jiaxue asked frantically.
“As long as you donate all your assets to charity, I will let you go,” Qin Hanchu said, then waved his hand dismissively.
“Miss, please leave,” the waiter said to Lin Jiaxue upon seeing this.
…
An hour later, Lin Jiaxue returned home.
“Daughter, how did the conversation go?” Lin Wansheng asked, his face pale, as he saw Lin Jiaxue return.
“He wants us to donate all our assets to charity, or he won’t let us go,” Lin Jiaxue said angrily.
Lin Wansheng furiously smashed a water glass on the ground and roared, “He’s trying to force my daughter and me to death!”
“There’s no other way now,” Lin Jiaxue said helplessly.
“Not necessarily!” Lin Wansheng’s eyes lit up, an idea forming in his mind.
“Is there another way?” Lin Jiaxue asked eagerly.
“Do you know the Kong family?” Lin Wansheng asked.
Lin Jiaxue asked, puzzled, “Which Kong family?”
“The Sacred City of Lushan Prefecture!”
Lin Jiaxue’s eyes widened in surprise, “An ancient aristocratic family with a thousand-year legacy?”
“Although the Kong family doesn’t participate in worldly disputes, their foundation is incredibly terrifying.”
“The Kong family is not called the foremost aristocratic family in Lushan Prefecture for nothing!”
“I’ve heard that the Kong family has several Grandmaster-level experts guarding them.”
“If you can make a descendant of the Kong family fall in love with you, we can use the Kong family’s influence to pressure Qin Hanchu.”
Lin Wansheng’s eyes gleamed; he thought his plan was perfect.
If Lin Jiaxue succeeded, he would not only escape the torment of his illness but also become in-laws with the foremost aristocratic family in Lushan Prefecture.
“I’m poisoned, how can I make a descendant of the Kong family fall in love with me?” Lin Jiaxue said dejectedly.
“The more unattainable something is, the more one desires it.”
“As long as you can ignite a man’s possessiveness, he will be willing to do anything for you.”
“To get you, he will definitely come looking for Qin Hanchu,” Lin Wansheng said.
Lin Jiaxue nodded repeatedly and said, “Understood, I’ll go and look up information on the Kong family’s descendants now.”
The next day, Qin Hanchu performed acupuncture on Chen Feiyu again.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, Chen Feiyu opened up another acupoint.
He had now reached the peak of the eighth rank.
Unless a ninth-rank expert intervened, it would be difficult to capture Chen Feiyu easily.
After Chen Feiyu got up, Qin Hanchu handed him a box.
“Mr. Qin, what is this?” Chen Feiyu asked curiously.
“Inside is an antidote pill and three poison gas grenades.”
“As long as you take the antidote pill, you will be immune to the poison gas grenades.”
“In moments of life-threatening danger, breaking the poison gas grenades can help you survive.”
As the saying goes, help someone completely, see them off to the west.
Since he was meddling in Chen Feiyu’s affairs, he had to ensure his safety.
Otherwise, how would he explain it to Liu Simeng?
With these poison gas grenades, Chen Feiyu could escape even when facing a ninth-rank martial artist.
“Thank you,” Chen Feiyu’s gaze was filled with gratitude.
Qin Hanchu not only helped him improve his strength but also prepared a life-saving item for him. This was truly thoughtful.
Just then, Wan Tong pushed the door open and walked in.
“Are you ready?” Wan Tong asked with a smile.
“Let’s go. I hope university life won’t be too boring.” It was the opening day for the Military University this afternoon, so Qin Hanchu had to report.
“I have another piece of good news for you,” Wan Tong said mysteriously.
Qin Hanchu asked curiously, “What good news?”
“Miss Lin Ying will also be attending school at the Military Academy in Island City,” Wan Tong said.
“Did you arrange that?”
Lin Ying, like Jin Hailu, was also engaged to Qin Hanchu.
Her hometown was Jiangdong Prefecture. If it weren’t for a special arrangement, why would she come to Island City for school?
“I’ve also bought a house opposite the academy for you, to help you get to know each other and foster your relationship.”
“Here are the keys to the house, and the address is on this card.”
Saying that, Wan Tong handed the keys and card to Qin Hanchu.
“Sister Wan Tong, you’re so thoughtful,” Qin Hanchu said speechlessly.
…
Due to the opening of the Military Academy, many vehicles from other cities appeared on the streets of Island City.
The closer they got to the Military Academy, the more congested the roads became.
Seeing this, Qin Hanchu said to Wan Tong, “Sister Wan Tong, I’ll walk there. You don’t need to come and get stuck in traffic.”
“Okay, I’ll park up ahead.” With the current road conditions, walking was indeed faster than taking a car.
After getting out of the car, Qin Hanchu walked towards the Military Academy along the sidewalk.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the school gate.
He saw a vast crowd surging into the academy.
The scene was like a large market at the end of the year.
Looking at the campus in front of him, Qin Hanchu felt a little nervous.
He had never even attended kindergarten in his life.
At the new student registration point, over ten long queues had already formed.
Qin Hanchu casually joined a queue.
After waiting for a full half hour, it was finally his turn.
Just then, a young man suddenly cut in front of him.
“How can you cut in line? Do you have any manners?”
“Exactly! Get out!”
Before Qin Hanchu could speak, some people behind him shouted angrily.
“My dad is the director of the Island City Enforcement Bureau. Do you have a problem?” the young man who cut in line shouted proudly.
Upon hearing the young man declare his identity, everyone immediately fell silent.
The Enforcement Bureau was a department with real power, and its director was one of the high-ranking administrators in Island City.
As the saying goes, even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
No one wanted to provoke someone with such connections.
“Consider yourselves sensible,” Zhou Haochen said smugly, seeing that everyone had stopped talking.
“Get lost!” Just as Zhou Haochen was feeling smug, Qin Hanchu spoke.
Qin Hanchu could ignore someone cutting in line in front of others.
But cutting in front of him? Unacceptable!
“What did you say? Say it again if you dare!” Zhou Haochen thought he had misheard. He had already announced his background, and yet someone dared to challenge him?
