Chapter 1304: Chapter 1283: Uninvited Guests

Quan Mingyuan slapped the table forcefully, glaring at Shao Qinyi with anger. He had never liked this man, and at this moment, he was even more disgusted by his words. "Are you threatening me? Just a mere military doctor, and you’re this afraid?"

Shao Qinyi sighed. "He is the heir of the Xiao Family. Chairman Quan said that before the domestic situation stabilizes, no one from the Xiao Family should be harmed. Young Master Quan has privately employed people he shouldn’t have, doing things he shouldn’t have done. It’s hard for me to explain to Chairman Quan."

Quan Mingyuan was stunned for a moment. Only his second uncle knew about him deploying those people. How did this kid find out? He squinted his eyes, then sat back in the leather chair after a long moment. "You investigated me in private."

Quan Mingyuan had inherited many traits from Quan Xianglin. Shao Qinyi understood the consequences of his actions, only hoping that Quan Xianglin would understand his difficulties later. "This is my duty, to ensure your safety during this period."

"There’s no need for more words, Shao Qinyi. I don’t care what your intentions are. I’ve given you so much time, and you haven’t accomplished anything. My old man has already lost faith in you, so there’s no need for you to act mysterious here. To be frank, I’m here to replace you and adjust the combat strategy." Upon hearing this, Shao Qinyi felt all hope shattering. "I’m telling you now, I’m going after Xiao Lin, and I’ll do it ruthlessly, including taking his fiancée."

"Yes, I understand and will await your instructions."

"Hmm, those who recognize the times are the wise. You’re a smart person, and there’s a reason the old man likes you."

Seeing Shao Qinyi’s submissive expression, Quan Mingyuan’s mood improved. "Shao Qinyi, I noticed you’re quite close to Murong Lengyue. Arrange a time for me this afternoon to have dinner with her. Book us a high-end restaurant and prepare a vehicle. Also, find me a more comfortable place; I’m tired of hotels."

Shao Qinyi raised an eyebrow, smiling. "I will immediately act according to your instructions. However, as for Miss Murong, I don’t know if she’ll accept your invitation. Today is between the Murong Family and the Xiao Family..."

"Shao Qinyi, don’t you understand what I’m saying? I said today, and I mean today. What’s with the Xiao Family?"

"I’ll do my best!"

The same person, armed with the same search warrant, entered the Sin City complex, this time approaching Xiao Lin with a strange confidence, placing the warrant before him.

"Lao Jiu, take the officer to the sixth floor." This time Xiao Lin didn’t make things difficult for them. "I will retain my legal rights."

Meanwhile, Quan Mingyuan was driving towards the Murong Clan’s estate in Palermo. Shao Qinyi’s answer remained negative; Murong Lengyue had no intention of meeting him, so he had to go in person to see who this big figure from the Xiao Family was.

Someone was reporting the results of the search through the earpiece, and he was surprised by Xiao Lin’s openness. The military doctor had been talked up by a few, but now it seemed nothing special. However, they found no suspicious places in Sin City, so where was the ’undercity’?

The car ascended a mountain road, revealing a magnificent building. No one stopped him at the gate, and he smoothly parked at the building’s entrance. He was escorted inside to a reception room, served refreshments, and then left alone.

Murong Lengyue was surprised that the visitor was Xiao Lin. Since the last birthday banquet, Elder Murong had intended for Xiao Mu to become the Murong Family’s son-in-law, and even her father, Murong Kun, had the same idea. From Xiao Zhenfeng’s attitude towards Xiao Mu, the heir position in the Xiao Family might change. However, neither elder forced Murong Lengyue without concrete news.

"Miss, Young Master Quan has been waiting in the side hall for a long time." Just as a pot of tea was nearly finished, the butler urged, and Murong Lengyue glanced at Xiao Lin. Within just a pot of tea time, he hadn’t spoken a word.

"I know." Murong Lengyue dismissed the butler, thoughtfully examining Xiao Lin. "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Knowing that Quan Mingyuan would come back, you replaced Xiao Mu? What is your Xiao Family plotting?"

"The Murong Family just wants the title of the Xiao Family heir. Whoever marries you doesn’t matter. Being with Xiao Mu is definitely better than being with me. Third Brother is absolutely trustworthy." Xiao Lin put down the tea set; this visit was only to further confirm with Quan Mingyuan, with no other intentions.

"Xiao Lin, you should know that I’m not considering marrying you because of this title."

"There are things I don’t want to repeat. If you don’t commit those heinous acts, perhaps we can still be friends. But now, we’re either enemies or strangers."

"Is there a difference between the two?"

"Essentially different. As enemies, one of us must die. As strangers, there might still be a chance for a nodding acquaintance." The blunt words made Murong Lengyue’s heart ache slightly. She called the butler to invite Quan Mingyuan for tea.

Xiao Lin grinned at Murong Lengyue’s actions, refilling the empty teapot with water, waiting.

Unaware of the circumstances, Quan Mingyuan entered the tea room. He was directly facing Xiao Lin, and upon seeing that there was another person besides Murong Lengyue in the room, his expression turned unpleasant. This was a spoiled child.

"Young Master Quan, let me introduce you, this is..."

"No need, I know him!" Breaking a girl’s words is impolite, showing just how arrogant this scion usually is. "Dragon Soul Military Doctor, future heir of the Xiao Family, known as Young Master Xiao, am I right?"

It was a pity not to recognize him at the birthday banquet. Quan Mingyuan extended his hand towards Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin naturally took it while sitting. Both hands gripped each other, secretly testing each other’s strength.

"Well said!" Xiao Lin laughed it off and released his firm grip first. "When I was in Dragon Soul, I long heard of Chairman Quan’s achievements in the military commission, a figure we younger Dragon Soul members highly admire. Meeting Young Master Quan today is an honor for me. Let me toast you with tea instead of wine to apologize for my rudeness at the banquet, and I hope you’ll overlook my shortcomings."

"Young Master Xiao certainly speaks well. I don’t even remember the banquet incident." Quan Mingyuan downed the tea Xiao Lin had poured and then refilled it, directing it toward Murong Lengyue.

Murong Lengyue indifferently lifted the cup to her lips, glancing at Xiao Lin. "It’s rare to have you both here. Why not stay for dinner tonight? It seems you have much to discuss. Young Master Xiao, what do you think?"

"It’s more respectful to accept than decline! What does Young Master Quan think?"

"Naturally, I heed the beautiful lady’s words!"

Murong Lengyue smiled slightly, leaving space for the two men.

Xiao Lin lit a cigarette, shifted to a comfortable position, leaning against the tatami, and nonchalantly crossed his legs. After ensuring no one was outside the door, Quan Mingyuan also lit a cigarette, grabbing an expensive cup to use as an ashtray.

"Young Master Xiao, your trump card isn’t quite useful, is it?" His straightforwardness far surpassed the finesse he showed in dealing.

"To someone of your status, a trump card is naturally worthless." Xiao Lin exhaled smoke, having never expected Shao Qinyi to convince the guy in front of him. Knowing what sort of person Quan Xianglin is, his son wouldn’t be any better; no human with compassion would do such a thing.

"Seems my thoughts were unexpected for Young Master Xiao, but you also let me down." Quan Mingyuan chuckled dryly.

"Are you disappointed that Sin City doesn’t have what you need? But I can provide you with accurate information. Your batch is in Robert’s workshop, but a fire last night reduced it to ashes. I believe the goods went up in flames as well."

Quan Mingyuan burst into laughter. "So Young Master Xiao is admitting he had something to do with that fire?"

Ah! Xiao Lin quickly waved his hand. "Young Master Quan, this is a criminal case. We’re sensible people; we know what it means if said out loud. Doing such a thing once is enough."

Quan Mingyuan just smiled, extinguishing his cigarette in the make-do ashtray, leaving them in an awkward silence, fortunately broken by Murong Lengyue’s timely return to the teahouse, turning strangers into familiar faces amid laughter.

At midnight, after a full meal, it was time to head back. Murong Lengyue made an awkward request, embarrassing Xiao Lin but pleasing Quan Mingyuan.

"Young Master Xiao, don’t be such a downer, it’s just one night." Quan Mingyuan provocatively stared at Xiao Lin, unclear about Murong Lengyue’s intent to let them stay over. Xiao Lin frowned at Quan Mingyuan’s challenging tone.

"Is Young Master Xiao worried about home? I can speak to them; I’m sure Uncle Xiao won’t mind." Xiao Lin’s eyes turned cold, causing Murong Lengyue to shrink slightly.

"No need, I’ll inform them myself." Saying this, Xiao Lin took a few steps towards the exit, dialing Consort Ling’s number after a short distance.

Quan Mingyuan watched Xiao Lin’s unusual action and glanced at Murong Lengyue, realizing the rumors outside weren’t unfounded. "Miss Murong, why single-mindedly focus on one flower? From Young Master Xiao’s cautiousness, his home must hide a ’golden beauty.’"

Flirtatious words reached Murong Lengyue’s ears, prompting her to take a step outside, dodging Quan Mingyuan’s deliberate approach. "Young Master Quan, please have some respect."

Quan Mingyuan shrugged nonchalantly; impatience never cooks a hot bean curd. He’s yet to miss any prey, even if they’re the Murong Family Head – eventually, the Xiao Family will be dealt with, and in the end, won’t the commerce circle submit to the government?

He absolutely has that confidence and capability. Watching Xiao Lin return from afar felt like seeing a corpse, as he’s soon to capture this person, forcing the elder in charge to vacate the position. (To be continued.
