"Ginger is indeed spicier with age; Old Master Hu's foresight is truly remarkable."
After finishing a glass of red wine, Qin Xuan immediately decided to cooperate with the Hu family.
As Old Master Hu had said, this transaction would make it easier for him to integrate into the Qin family.
However, they were unaware that his relationship with the Qin family in Jiangcheng was not that amicable.
Simply being the legitimate grandson of the Qin family patriarch didn't mean he could easily board the ship of the Jiangcheng Qin family.
But these were not major issues.
He and Qin Yifei already had some old grievances, and now that he was back, he intended to settle things with the other party.
Having agreed to contact each other after the matter was settled, Hu Zi'an, full of food and drink, went back to his affectionate reunion with Li Hao.
Qin Xuan chuckled and cursed, but didn't interfere too much.
After all, he was very familiar with Li Hao, and she wasn't the type of person to let romance hinder her work.
With the company running smoothly, Qin Xuan didn't plan to go upstairs again.
Since Old Master Hu had presented him with such a grand gift, he might as well pay a visit to the Qin family in Jiangcheng now.
He called for Lucien, and Qin Xuan drove directly to the luxurious villa district where the Qin family in Jiangcheng resided.
Thanks to his custom Maybach, Qin Xuan only needed to ask a few simple questions to obtain Qin Yifei's specific address.
After driving along a winding mountain road, they officially arrived in front of a very luxurious villa.
"Who are you?"
"Do you have an appointment?"
Two bodyguards in suits stepped forward at the villa entrance, blocking their path.
This made Qin Xuan click his tongue, marveling at how Qin Yifei lived like a lord.
However, he was here today to take over the Qin family in Jiangcheng, not to visit.
Therefore, he didn't waste words with the bodyguards and instead had Lucien knock them both out in front of the garden gate.
Unfortunately, Qin Yifei was temporarily away from home on business.
However, his young and beautiful daughter, Qin Xue'er, was at home for the winter break and was preparing to go out with her friends.
Initially, upon seeing Qin Xuan, Qin Xue'er thought he was her father's friend and secretly mused about how young he was.
But when she saw the bodyguards lying on the ground through the gap in the door, and then saw the stern-faced Lucien blocking her path,
She realized that Qin Xuan and this foreigner were not here with good intentions.
"They aren't here to kidnap me, are they?!"
In a flash, many terrifying thoughts flashed through Qin Xue'er's mind.
It wasn't until Lucien took out his phone and gently placed it in her delicate hand that she reacted, instinctively retreating far away.
"Call Qin Yifei and tell him to come back."
Speaking fluent Dragon Country language, Lucien looked coldly at Qin Xue'er.
Qin Xue'er, holding the phone, was caught in a dilemma.
She didn't know what to do.
"Qin Xue'er, right? You don't need to be afraid."
"In terms of family relations, I'm your cousin."
"Call your father back, I have some things to discuss with him."
"If everything goes smoothly, I'll give you a gift later."
Cousin?
A gift?
Is it true or not?
Qin Xue'er didn't quite believe Qin Xuan's words.
After all, why would family members need to knock out bodyguards just to visit?
But the foreigner in front of her kept staring at her.
If she didn't obey them, she might be the next one to get hurt...
After a moment of deliberation, Qin Xue'er slowly picked up her phone and called her father, Qin Yifei.
"Xiao Xue, are you alright?!"
An hour later, Qin Yifei's voice could be heard outside the villa's main entrance.
However, it was clear that he already knew there was likely danger within the villa.
Not only did he rush in from outside the villa, but behind him stood two middle-aged martial artists who looked like bodyguards.
"Qin Xuan?"
"It's you!"
"Why did you trespass into my home? What do you want?!"
After confirming that his daughter was safe, Qin Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he saw Qin Xuan sitting on his sofa, surprise and fear surged in his heart.
Although he was unaware of Qin Xuan's astonishing performance in the United States during this period,
He knew that the other party's identity had been recognized by the old family patriarch.
He had thought that Qin Xuan hadn't contacted him because he had forgotten everything he had done before, but he didn't expect to be sought out as soon as he had relaxed.
"Heh heh, trespass?" Qin Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing Qin Yifei's questioning tone. "Weren't you the same when you first entered my house, swaggering in so boldly?"
"You!" Qin Yifei's voice faltered, unable to find any words to refute.
He could only glare with his eyes, staring intently at Qin Xuan.
"Don't look at me like that," Qin Xuan waved his hand. "I'm not here just to cause trouble today."
"I heard from Xie Yuqin that the Qin family in Jiangcheng was originally a branch of the Qin family, but due to certain reasons, they left the imperial capital, which is how your Jiangcheng lineage gradually formed."
"Now that the time is right, I plan to lead the Qin family in Jiangcheng back to the imperial capital. Do you, the young master in charge of the Qin family in Jiangcheng, have any intention of cooperating with me?"
Although Qin Yifei was still referred to as the young master of the Qin family when he was outside, he was actually over forty years old.
He had single-handedly taken control of the entire Qin family in Jiangcheng.
Qin Xuan, while conversing with him, didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
His objective was simple: if he could directly subdue them, that would be best, but if not, then they would have to settle some scores.
However, Qin Yifei clearly had no intention of accepting Qin Xuan's proposal.
After all, Qin Xuan was merely a legitimate grandson of the Qin family with a nominal title but no special privileges.
And he himself was backed by Qin Anbang, the second young master of the Qin family, who controlled most of the Qin family's assets.
In terms of strength alone, Qin Xuan was far too inferior. Not to mention that after completing the transaction with the Hu family, he could also return to the imperial capital family based on his merit.
Therefore, without even thinking, Qin Yifei directly rejected Qin Xuan's "amnesty."
Not only that, but he took a step back, bringing the two martial artist bodyguards forward, ready to throw Qin Xuan and his companion out of his home.
Seeing the other party's actions, Qin Xuan couldn't help but "tsk."
"I originally thought we were all family, and that we should resolve things peacefully without resorting to force."
"However, you, the young master of the Qin family, are not cooperating at all."
"Since that's the case, then I will have to properly explain things to you."
Saying this, Qin Xuan slowly stood up and sneered at Qin Yifei.
"A few months ago, you said you wanted to take my hair for a paternity test, but instead, you privately altered the test results, almost causing me to lose the chance to acknowledge my grandfather."
"And shortly after that, you specifically hired professional assassins to come to my residence and try to eliminate me completely."
"Now, you clearly know that I am the legitimate grandson of the Qin family patriarch, yet you still want to resort to force."
"Qin Yifei, oh Qin Yifei, tell me, if you were me, what would you do?"
