Free Web NovelChapter 335: Chapter 334: I’ll Settle Things Today, Then Take My Time With You
"Who is this Mr. Chu? Could he be some big shot from our Haitong City?"
"That’s impossible. When you talk about big shots in Haitong City, besides people from the Defense Team and the Imperial Institutions,
there’s probably no one else who could make Yu Qiming swallow his pride and act like this."
"Even if people from the local Imperial Institutions or the Defense Team showed up, they’d still have to be polite to Yu Qiming.
But look at this young man they call Mr. Chu.
His expression is calm, without any deliberate look of contempt or change in his actions and expression,
but his behavior shows he doesn’t see Yu Qiming as anyone important at all.
And Yu Qiming’s reaction is also very strange. Even though the other party is being so openly dismissive,
Yu Qiming keeps enduring it, even acting subserviently and constantly backing down.
I suspect he’s a heavy hitter from out of town—and a very dangerous one at that.
The kind of outsider that makes the local top dog afraid to even fight back."
Most of the young men and women present came from privileged families.
Although there were certainly a few spoiled brats among them, most had learned by observing their elders over the years.
Slowly but surely, they had picked up some skills in scheming and calculation. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The tense atmosphere between Chu He and Yu Qiming was enough for them to read between the lines and understand a great deal.
"Fine. Since Chu He has all the time in the world, he can play along with this young master slowly.
Kong Qing, take Mr. Chu to the private room I’ve arranged.
Mr. Chu surely hasn’t eaten yet. Give him the manor’s highest-level treatment for everything."
Yu Qiming ordered.
"Of course. Mr. Chu, please follow me."
A young woman stepped out from behind Yu Qiming.
Her wine-red, slightly curled hair cascaded like a waterfall over her snow-white shoulders.
As she swayed over, a faint, elegant perfume wafted from her, quite alluring.
Kong Qing was also sizing up Chu He with curiosity.
In fact, when Meng Fan had come to report what happened between Chu He and Sun Canxing,
Kong Qing had been right beside Yu Qiming.
At the time, Yu Qiming hadn’t shown any unusual reaction.
He had simply said, "Understood,"
and had Meng Fan take him to meet Chu He.
Everyone at the time thought Yu Qiming was furious.
After all, no one had ever dared to interfere with a girl he had his eyes on.
However, the way things unfolded was jaw-dropping for everyone. Even Meng Fan himself was incredibly unlucky,
never having expected things to turn out this way.
Based on her understanding of Yu Qiming,
Kong Qing guessed that this Chu He must possess a background so immense that even Yu Qiming didn’t dare to provoke him lightly.
Otherwise, the one lying on the ground right now would have been Chu He.
"Let’s go," Chu He said to Sun Canxing beside him.
Sun Canxing nodded, skirted around Yu Qiming, and moved to Chu He’s left side.
She was clearly afraid of Yu Qiming.
But Yu Qiming acted as if he hadn’t seen this small detail, still wearing a faint smile on his face.
He watched until Chu He, Sun Canxing, and Kong Qing disappeared from view.
Only then did Yu Qiming’s entire face become as cold and still as a pool of stagnant water.
"Carry him away."
Yu Qiming said.
Soon, the resort’s medical team arrived with a stretcher.
They placed Meng Fan on it and quickly carried him away.
The resort had its own medical office.
After all, the people who came here to relax were all rich and powerful bigwigs.
Their well-being was naturally very valuable.
Therefore, to attract those wealthy patrons,
the resort kept a highly skilled medical team on staff.
"Gu Chen, come here." Yu Qiming beckoned with his hand.
Gu Chen, who had been standing on the other side with several other young masters and ladies,
heard him, put down his wine glass, and hurried over in a few quick strides. "Qiming, what on earth just happened? Why did you go after Meng Fan?"
"Why did I go after Meng Fan? Don’t you know?"
Yu Qiming reached out and patted Gu Chen’s face, neither lightly nor heavily.
"Could that Chu He really be *the* Chu He, the number one powerhouse on Blue Star?"
Gu Chen’s expression was one of astonishment. "But that’s just too ridiculous.
How could a figure of that stature possibly appear in a third-tier little city like ours?
And go out of his way to stick up for Sun Canxing’s family?
When we made our move against Sun Canxing’s family before,
we investigated their family back three generations and found nothing. There were no major figures at all.
The only one with any minor success just opened a few supermarkets, and they weren’t even Sun Canxing’s direct relatives."
Gu Chen looked utterly perplexed and more than a little disbelieving.
"Did you think you could hide it from me?
After I’ve dealt with today’s business, I’ll have plenty of time to ’play’ with you."
Yu Qiming reached out and squeezed Gu Chen’s shoulder.
Gu Chen’s face instantly contorted in pain. He clenched his jaw so hard the muscles in his cheeks bulged.
Then, without a backward glance, Yu Qiming turned and left with his people.
Gu Chen remained where he stood, forcefully exhaling a sharp breath before taking several deep, ragged gasps.
His body began to tremble faintly. From inside the sleeve of his right suit jacket, blood trickled out like a small stream, quickly staining the grass at his feet red.
"Oh my, Gu Chen, what’s wrong with your arm?
It’s bleeding! You should hurry to the medical office and have someone bandage it."
Another socialite noticed Gu Chen’s strange expression, and her gaze drifted downward to his injury.
She quickly rushed over to enthusiastically support him.
This socialite, of course, had her own agenda. Although she didn’t know what had happened,
she knew that out of all the rich young masters here, the only ones she could hope to connect with were on Meng Fan’s level.
As for people like Yu Qiming or that "Mr. Chu" who had just appeared,
the socialite felt she was out of their league.
So she was looking for a suitable target she could profit from,
and she hadn’t expected to stumble upon the president of the luxury car association,
another well-known second-generation heir in Haitong City, in such a state. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Thank you." Gu Chen’s voice was strained.
Just now, Yu Qiming’s gesture had looked like a friendly shoulder squeeze,
but in reality, he had crippled one of his arms.
This was just Yu Qiming giving Gu Chen a small taste of the bitter consequences to come.
The shattered bones had pierced through his flesh, which was why blood was now flowing down his sleeve.
Although Gu Chen’s body was wracked with the pain of broken bones, his heart was filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation.
Yu Qiming’s reaction had just confirmed it: that man was indeed Chu He, the famous number one powerhouse of Blue Star.
Even with his family’s deep connections in the Royal City of the Great Xia Empire,
Yu Qiming would have a hard time getting through this today.
In the Great Xia Empire, there were only two people at the true pinnacle of power.
One was Chu He.
The other was the Queen, Lu Yinxing.
In front of these two, no amount of deep-seated connections or powerful backing was of any use.
’Will it work this time?’
Supported by the socialite, Gu Chen took one step after another toward the medical office.
