Free Web NovelChapter 10: Chapter 10: Looking for Death?
After a long silence, Zheng Wanqing sighed and replied, "I admit it. Your skill at manipulating people is just too formidable. I concede."
"The Zheng Family is willing to cooperate with you and become your first ally in Jinghai."
Zheng Wanqing picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract.
"A pleasure doing business with you."
As if he had expected Zheng Wanqing to cooperate with him all along, Chen Qingdi smiled, stood up, and shook her hand.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving."
"Oh, right. Miss Zheng, if you get the chance, could you help me keep an eye on the movements of the Zhao and Han Families?"
Chen Qingdi asked Zheng Wanqing.
"Rest assured, Mr. Chen. Since the Zheng Family is now your ally, we will naturally help you eliminate any enemies that might threaten you."
"After all, we’re in the same boat now."
Zheng Wanqing chuckled softly and supported the Zheng family’s elder as she walked out of the office.
...
After returning to the hotel, Chen Qingdi thought for a moment.
’Wang Baining mentioned he had a top-tier villa in Jinghai called Longwu Mountain Manor!’
’The price of Longwu Mountain Manor had once reached an astronomical figure at auction, selling for three hundred million USD.’
’But because he was always on Medical God Island,’
’it has been uninhabited for many years and is now covered in dust.’
’And when I was returning to Jinghai, that guy who called himself the richest man in the Northern Province just handed the keys over to me,’
’telling me to go stay there whenever I felt like it.’
"Chen Yuan, get the car ready. We’re going to Yunting Mountain."
Chen Qingdi gave the order and headed down from his hotel room.
When he reached the lobby, Chen Qingdi heard a string of curses.
"Are you blind? Do you have any idea how expensive this bag is?"
"This is a global limited-edition bag from the Chanel Company! It’s worth one million!"
"You’ve gotten my bag dirty. Now what are you going to do about it?"
A woman in a mink coat, furiously wiping her bag with tissues, was cursing at a waitress.
She was none other than Ma Xiaorong!
And the arrogant-looking young man in a suit beside her was Zheng Zhiyi.
’I can’t believe he’s already been healed!’
’Speak of the devil.’
Chen Qingdi didn’t even spare them a glance. Wasting time on people like them was beneath him.
"I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, miss. I accidentally dirtied your bag. How about I compensate you for it?"
The waitress bowed repeatedly, apologizing profusely.
However, upon hearing this, Ma Xiaorong suddenly laughed and slapped the waitress across the face.
"Are you blind and deaf? Didn’t you hear me say this bag is worth one million?"
"Exactly. What are you going to pay with? A lifetime’s salary? Or two? Hahaha!"
Zheng Zhiyi also stepped in front of the waitress, his face full of ridicule as he spoke.
But when Chen Qingdi followed the sound and took a closer look, he froze on the spot.
"Shiyi!"
Chen Qingdi cried out, tears welling in his eyes.
’Ye Shi Yi!’
’Back when he and his mother were driven out of the Chen Family, it was Shiqi who temporarily took them in.’
’And the job he had back then... Shiqi had to beg that boss for a long time before he agreed to let him work there.’
’Later, he went to live with his godmother, and Shiqi went to Yunhai City.’
’Chen Qingdi had thought he would never see her again in this lifetime!’
’He never expected to run into her here.’
Recalling all of Ye Shi Yi’s past kindnesses toward him, the anger in Chen Qingdi could no longer be contained.
"Ma Xiaorong! Zheng Zhiyi!"
With bloodshot eyes, Chen Qingdi rushed over and pulled Ye Shi Yi behind him.
"Chen Qingdi!?"
"What are you doing here?"
Zheng Zhiyi and Ma Xiaorong were also stunned to see Chen Qingdi here.
Zheng Zhiyi, in particular, was stunned. The memory of the pain from having his bones broken was still vivid.
But they quickly recovered, giving Chen Qingdi a meaningful, sarcastic smile.
"Heh, Chen Qingdi, I really didn’t expect this. I thought you actually had some skills!"
"Turns out you’re working as a waiter here! Hahaha! If your master saw this, her spirit in heaven would probably be heartbroken!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, yeah. I thought even if you just got back and had nowhere to stay, you’d at least have a decent job."
"Hmph. Who would have thought you’d fall so low as to become a waiter? How utterly disgraceful."
Zheng Zhiyi walked up to Chen Qingdi, patted him arrogantly on the shoulder, and looked at him with utter disdain.
"Did I say you could speak? Shut up!"
Listening to Zheng Zhiyi and Ma Xiaorong chattering endlessly in his ear, Chen Qingdi was about to lose his mind.
All of his attention was now on Shiqi; he was in no mood to deal with them.
’Otherwise!’
’I’d definitely break that bastard’s arms and legs all over again!’
"Chen Qingdi, do you know what kind of man I hate the most? Your kind!"
"Knowing you’ve been dumped, yet still trying every trick to save face in front of me. It’s truly pathetic!"
Ma Xiaorong said with a look of disgust, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Chen, you should go. I’m very happy that you still remember your big sister, but they look like trouble. Don’t get yourself hurt because of me."
Ye Shiqi bit her lip, tugging on the corner of Chen Qingdi’s shirt in worry.
"Sis, don’t worry."
"The two of them can’t do anything to me."
Chen Qingdi said confidently to Ye Shiqi, leading her to the side.
"Such shameless boasting. You’ve fallen so low you’re a waiter here, so what are you still pretending for?"
"Chen Qingdi, I’ll give you one more chance. As long as you kneel before us, shout ’Grandpa’ and ’Grandma’ three times, and then crawl between my legs, the one million on this card is yours."
Zheng Zhiyi pulled out a bank card and flaunted it in Chen Qingdi’s face.
"Hurry up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you won’t get another."
Zheng Zhiyi threw the card on the ground and stomped on it.
He looked down on Chen Qingdi, an arrogant expression on his face.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. This time, you have to pick it up on your knees. And you have to take the card from under my foot before you crawl through."
"Hahaha! Hurry up! Aren’t you so high and mighty?"
"So why are you turning down the chance I’m giving you now?"
Zheng Zhiyi laughed wildly, completely disregarding Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi wasn’t about to indulge him. After ordering Chen Yuan not to make a move, he shot out a kick.
Before Zheng Zhiyi could even react, he was sent flying, landing on the ground and screaming endlessly in pain.
"AHHHH!"
"It hurts so much!"
Seeing Zheng Zhiyi in this state, Ma Xiaorong rushed forward.
"Chen Qingdi, do you know where you are? How dare you hurt someone here!"
"When Chairman Xiao gets here, he definitely won’t let you off!"
Ma Xiaorong, her face flushed red, roared at Chen Qingdi.
"Heh, Chen Qingdi, you dare cause trouble on my cousin’s territory? Just you wait!"
"My cousin is the vice chairman of the Bauhinia Commerce Association. All the service industries in the entire Jinghai City are under his banner. This five-star hotel is his too. Now that you’ve hit me, he will absolutely not let you off so easily."
At this point, Ma Xiaorong had helped Zheng Zhiyi up, but he still roared arrogantly at Chen Qingdi.
"Xiao Changfeng is your cousin?"
"Are you sure?"
Chen Qingdi asked, as if confirming something.
"That’s right. What, have you heard my cousin’s name before?"
"Heh, it’s normal if you have. My cousin rules the roost in Jinghai. Even the city’s mayor has to show him some respect. For him, crushing you would be as easy as squashing an ant."
Zheng Zhiyi yelled arrogantly at Chen Qingdi.
However, just at that moment, an old man in a suit, followed by a group of bodyguards, suddenly appeared before Chen Qingdi.
"Mr. Chen, I was not aware you were in Jinghai. This subordinate was late to receive you. Please forgive me!"
The old man bowed respectfully to Chen Qingdi.
"Please forgive us, Mr. Chen!"
The group of bodyguards standing behind the old man shouted in unison.
