The guards from the Abundance Group, who were originally about to ignore this cold shout, could not help but freeze in place when they glanced and saw who had spoken.
Because the person who spoke was none other than Zhao Lin, the Zhou Family guard that Tao Chaocheng had invited.
Although Zhao Lin was just a Zhou Family guard, his current identity was not ordinary. He represented the manager of the Zhou Family!
Even Tao Chaocheng and Hua Dao had to show him respect, let alone the guards.
“Lord… Lord Zhao, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce borrowed Young Master Zhou’s name, and now they have now rudely hit me. You… you must stand up for me!”
Seeing Zhao Lin walk out, Tao Chaocheng thought Zhao Lin was going to personally deal with this youth and Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. Immediately, as if seeing his own Parents, Tao Chaocheng crawled over to Zhao Lin, snot and tears flowing as he complained.
*Hmph!* However, Tao Chaocheng did not see that Qin Yichen’s mouth was curved into a mischievous arc, rubbing his palm while walking over, his face showed no signs of fear.
“Haha, kid, you’re dead now, you’re dead…” With Zhao Lin by his side, Tao Chaocheng’s heart was suddenly filled with confidence. He pointed at Qin Yichen and scolded.
He just did not believe that this kid would have the guts of a Bear and the courage of a Leopard to offend someone from the Zhou Family.
*Pa!* However, before Tao Chaocheng could finish speaking, he was slapped with a crisp sound, and his body immediately flew out again like a sandbag.
While still in mid-air, a mouthful of old blood mixed with several teeth spat out from his mouth.
Finally, with a ‘why’ flashing through his mind, Tao Chaocheng directly passed out, not knowing if it was from being hit or from shame.
“Lord… Lord Zhao?!” Seeing the main culprit Qin Yichen actually slap their Chairman flying in front of Zhao Lin, the guards from Abundance Group were all somewhat angry. Their eyes looked towards Zhao Lin, yet they did not dare to lay hands on Qin Yichen, solely because earlier, it was Zhao Lin who told them to stop.
At this moment, Zhao Lin’s face was black, looking like he was about to explode. The onlookers, Hua Dao, and the many guards, seeing Zhao Lin’s expression, all shut their mouths…
After all, that teenage boy had actually dared to ignore Zhao Lin, a person from the Zhou Family! He even made a move in front of him. In their view, it was simply seeking death!
However, in the next instant, Zhao Lin’s action directly made countless people dumbfounded.
“This lowly one Zhao Lin pays respects to the Young Master!”
The Lord Zhao they had paid a hefty price to invite was now kneeling down on one knee, giving a huge salute to Qin Yichen. His next sentence made them despair, “This lowly one did not know the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was yours, Young Master. For any offence, I hope the Young Master will forgive me!”
Zhao Lin’s face was very black because he was livid in his heart, but the anger was mixed with fear. This anger was directed at the Abundance Group and Flower Union, while his fear stemmed from the youth before him.
Last time at the Zhou Family Residence, it was he who took Qin Yichen’s money to announce his arrival. After seeing Zhou Tianwei’s attitude towards him, Zhao Lin was already scared out of his wits. Fortunately, the latter was magnanimous and did not blame him, which also made him extremely grateful.
But, as bad luck would have it, this time, he actually came here as a witness to prove that the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce had no connection with the Zhou Family… Whenever he thought of this, Zhao Lin felt like a thousand Wild Horses were galloping through his heart. [What kind of cursed task is this!? Isn’t this forcing me into a dead end!?]
*Pop…* After seeing Zhao Lin’s action, everyone present opened their mouths wide, and there was the occasional sound of a jaw dislocating.
What were they seeing!? A big shot representing the Zhou Family manager actually gave such a big salute to a nameless kid, who walked out from the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce! This was too revolutionary.
“Who exactly is that young man?!” Soon after they came back to their senses, everyone’s gaze towards Qin Yichen instantly changed.
Previously, Qin Yichen was ignorant, arrogant, and laughable in their hearts… but now, he was mysterious, powerful, and imposing.
Not far away, Hua Dao’s face immediately darkened, his gaze flickering.
The situation had already spiralled out of their control.
After all, if Qin Yichen had not bought off this Zhou Family guard, then… Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce really knew Zhou Tianwei!
Thinking of this point, Hua Dao’s heart could not help but tremble violently. He even wanted to flee from this place. [This world is just too scary, damn it! I want to see my Mother again…]
“Forget it, you didn’t know so I won’t blame you.” Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Qin Yichen glanced at Tao Chaocheng lying on the ground like a dead Dog. He casually patted the dust off his clothes, and indifferently waved his hand at Zhao Lin.
“Thank… thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master!” Hearing this, Zhao Lin immediately felt relieved, and his anxious heart calmed down.
Although he looked impressive in front of all these people, he was just a servant of the Zhou Family. Offending the friend of his Young Master would be certain death.
“Well…” Suddenly, as he was halfway through standing up, Qin Yichen turned around again. Zhao Lin’s body was immediately tensed, and he waited respectfully for Qin Yichen’s order.
“Where’s Zhou Tianwei right now? Why hasn’t he come here yet?” Qin Yichen asked very casually, but it made everyone around tremble in their hearts.
After all he was talking about Zhou Tianwei! In the entire Royal City, how many people dared to call Zhou Tianwei like that, without any honorifics!?
They simply could not describe the shock in their hearts at this moment. It turned out that this Young Master before them not only had a cooperative relationship with the Zhou Family, but was also at least a good friend and confidant of Zhou Tianwei.
“The Young Master left early in the morning. This lowly one is not aware of his whereabouts.” Zhao Lin answered with a bitter face.
If he had not personally seen Zhou Tianwei leave, and if the manager had not instructed him to join in this scam, how would he have come here?
[That guy is really like a woman, dawdling all the time. Don’t tell me he doesn’t want that 10% share anymore?] Hearing Zhao Lin’s words, Qin Yichen could not help but complain, his face full of displeasure.
He only wanted the promotional effect of the Abundance Group and Flower Union. He did not expect these two large businesses to come here and cause trouble today. If it was not for Zhao Lin coming, who knows if the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s Medicine Shop would have already been smashed?
If the shop was destroyed, how could they open for business?
Hua Dao had already quietly shrunk into the crowd, not daring to show his face at all.
Meanwhile, Shu Ruyan completely relaxed.
However, her gaze towards Qin Yichen was full of curiosity.
She originally thought it was just due to mutual interests that brought Zhou Tianwei over, but she did not expect Qin Yichen and Zhou Tianwei’s relationship to be so good.
“So. it’s actually true. Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce actually knows Young Master Zhou…” The crowd that originally came to watch the excitement was now full of awe.
