Originally Ye Fengwu planned to hold a welcome dinner in the evening and take the opportunity to apologize to Qin Qinghan. However, Qin Qinghan directly refused, using picking up her daughter from school as an excuse.
Therefore, Ye Fengwu and Jiang Hao made an appointment to attend the banquet the next evening. Ye wanted to learn more inside stories about Haihua City. Relying solely on the assistance of a few people like Lin Qiang was not enough for him to know everything in detail.
Before starting that mission, the Qin family and Xihulong Black Wind had to be erased from Haihua City first. This was Ye Fengwu's compensation for letting down Qin Qinghan for eight years.
Driving a low-end Chevrolet in the spacious downtown area, Ye Fengwu could clearly feel the aging sound of the engine.
Since Qin Qinghan was still in a state of shock, Ye Fengwu took the initiative to be the driver.
He said, "You really should accept Xiao Hao's Ferrari. That kid's car is worth at least 5 million."
Qin Qinghan's face was still pale. She stared out the car window, her thoughts having long gone elsewhere. Everything today felt like a nightmare. She had almost witnessed the deaths of seven people with her own eyes.
Hearing Ye Fengwu's words, Qin Qinghan said faintly, "Thank you for today..."
With just a word of thanks, Ye Fengwu immediately grinned. But soon he tensed his face and said, "If you're thanking me because I saved you, I hope I'll never hear those words again in the future."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qinghan turned her face towards Ye Fengwu, thinking to herself that he must not have wanted to save her under such circumstances.
Soon after, Ye Fengwu said seriously again, "Never let yourself fall into such danger again. If any harm comes to you, I will...not be able to bear it."
Qin Qinghan's pale face was suddenly filled with surprise, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Fengwu with a strange expression.
Qin Qinghan could feel Ye Fengwu's concern for her very clearly. Just what was he doing all this for in the end?
If he were not a violent criminal, a desperate fugitive, just his actions for her and his words just now would perhaps...really make her have a good impression of him.
"Promise me, okay?" Ye Fengwu suddenly reached out to grab Qin Qinghan's hand resting on her thigh.
However, at that moment Qin Qinghan happened to raise her hand to brush aside the hair in front of her face. So Ye Fengwu's big hand landed directly on Qin Qinghan's thigh.
Although separated by a pair of pants, Ye Fengwu could still feel the softness and elasticity.
Qin Qinghan did not expect Ye Fengwu to take advantage of her like this. On instinct, she slapped the big hand fiercely.
Slap!
Ah!
However, this fierce slap did not hit the wicked big hand. Instead, it landed on her own thigh, making Qin Qinghan frown in pain.
Ye Fengwu's reaction and speed were simply incomparable to Qin Qinghan's. So the moment Qin Qinghan's palm fell, he had already reflexively retracted his hand.
Seeing this, Ye Fengwu almost laughed out loud. With one hand on the steering wheel, he apologized, "Sorry, reflex reaction. Hit me again, I definitely won't dodge this time."
With that said, Ye Fengwu shamelessly placed his palm on Qin Qinghan's thigh again.
Tears welled up in Qin Qinghan's eyes, perhaps from the pain, or perhaps from grievance. But she did not hit out again. Instead, she let that big hand rest on her leg.
"Do whatever you want. I give up," said Qin Qinghan as she turned her face back towards the car window.
Today, she had seen the Eastern Dragon King who held half the power in Haihua City. And that terrifying existence turned out to be Ye Fengwu's underling.
What more could she hope for having fallen into his hands? She could only pray that he did not go hurt her family after tormenting her.
If Ye Fengwu knew Qin Qinghan had such thoughts, he would probably drive the Chevrolet straight into a ditch.
He had to sincerely touch her heart and make her understand he was an upright gentleman.
So after lightly squeezing that slender thigh, Ye Fengwu retracted his hand. Alright, that squeeze just now was purely an instinctive reaction as a man.
"Don't you want to know about my relationship with Jiang Hao?" Ye Fengwu suddenly asked.
Qin Qinghan replied indifferently, "No interest!"
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu felt a bit awkward. He had prepared to boast at length, thinking that many girls liked cool and domineering men. This Qin Qinghan really was an outlier.
As for Jiang Hao, he had been Ye Fengwu's friend since childhood and they had recklessly dropped out of school together after graduating middle school. Then they had started extorting money as gangsters until now, which made Ye Fengwu gnash his teeth secretly.
He had truly been led astray by those misleading hooligan movies from his youth, though they did make him look very cool.
At eighteen, Ye Fengwu already had made a name for himself in Haihua City's underground world, and had also offended many people.
As for Jiang Hao, Ye Fengwu had saved his life more than once back then, which made Jiang Hao worship Ye Fengwu to the utmost, even obeying his every command.
Later, he was framed with drugs by the son of Xihulong Black Wind and imprisoned as a violent criminal.
...
Along the way, Qin Qinghan kept glancing at the time, her expression slightly anxious.
Qing Si's school ended at 5:30, and it was already 5:25. She was afraid they wouldn't make it in time.
"Drive faster," Qin Qinghan urged Ye Fengwu for the third time.
Ye Fengwu grimaced at the long line of traffic ahead and said, "Wife, it's a traffic jam."
Qin Qinghan bit her red lips tightly, with inexplicable anxiety in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Fengwu did not understand. It was just picking up the kid a bit late, so he asked, "No hurry, Qing Si is very smart. She should find a safe place to wait for us."
Hearing this, the anxiety in Qin Qinghan's eyes did not diminish at all. Even her clasped hands grew paler.
This made Ye Fengwu even more puzzled. What was she so worried about? Could Qing Si have some trouble?
Thinking of this, Ye Fengwu immediately leaned hard on the car horn to hurry the traffic ahead.
It took fifteen minutes to cover less than a kilometer before Ye Fengwu finally stopped at the entrance of the elementary school Qin Qinghan had indicated.
Many parents had already picked up their children and left.
Before the car had even stopped, Qin Qinghan pushed open the door and rushed towards the school gate.
Seeing this, Ye Fengwu hurriedly followed.
From afar, Ye Fengwu could already see a group of people gathered at the school entrance, including eight to nine-year-old students and many parents.
From tens of meters away, Ye Fengwu could already hear bursts of mocking laughter.
"Qin Qing Si, little bastard child, your dad is a rapist and your mom is a dirty woman."
"Qin Qing Si, little bastard child, your dad is a rapist and your mom is a dirty woman."
...
In an instant, Ye Fengwu's face darkened to a frightening extent, and he strode over.
In the crowd, Qing Si had her schoolbag on her back. Her uniform was covered in spit, and her exquisite doll-like little face was full of stubborn grievance.
Tears welled up in her eyes but she didn't let herself cry. Heaven knew if she had to endure such humiliation every day.
At least a dozen mischievous children were mocking and humiliating Qing Si, while their parents just stood by laughing and watching, not even realizing their children were facing moral distortion.
A little boy said to his mother, "Mom, that's Qin Qing Si. Her mom was raped by a rapist. She doesn't even know who her dad is."
The boy's mother looked no more than thirty but her skin was already yellowed and could only be concealed by thick makeup. The way she looked at Qing Si was full of disgust. She then dotingly said to her son, "Don't play with kids like that in school. So dirty."
"Qing Si..."
At this time, Qin Qinghan ran over unable to endure it any longer upon seeing Qing Si's grieved little face and tattered uniform. She held back her tears and did not cry out. She just hugged Qing Si and walked away from the crowd.
She would no longer listen to these people's humiliations.
Qin Qinghan was dressed in professional attire that showed off her perfect figure to full effect. Her country-toppling beauty especially made many of the fathers stare wide-eyed, and even aroused jealousy in many mothers.
