This classmates’ reunion, intended to humiliate Ye Qiu, ended up with him winning a luxury car worth millions.
Xu Shaohua, failing to steal the show, harbored a grudge for not accomplishing his goal.
In everyone’s eyes, the luxury car that had belonged to Xu Shaohua just a moment ago had now become Ye Qiu’s property, making them feel Xu Shaohua’s pain.
At the same time, they couldn’t help but recall their previous assessment of Ye Qiu.
Was Ye Qiu really just a security guard?
At least Li Yang didn’t quite believe it. With his capabilities in the army, he wasn’t exactly a match for a hundred men, but he was certainly not weak; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been promoted to platoon leader and naturally had the strength to subdue others.
However, as he engaged with Ye Qiu, Li Yang grew increasingly alarmed. He discovered that whether he exerted half his strength or his full might, he couldn’t shake Ye Qiu in the slightest; this reminded him of the chief instructor in the army, the only person who ever gave him such a feeling.
That’s why Li Yang chose to concede, as he knew continuing the fight was pointless. Otherwise, with his pride, why would he willingly admit defeat?
"Appearances can be deceiving. This man’s strength is extraordinary, far surpassing ordinary people. Truly interesting. With such skills, you should have heard of him. Could he be a hidden master?" Li Yang muttered.
As Ye Qiu and Lin Qiao’er left, Xu Shaohua’s expression remained gloomy. His beloved car had been driven away just like that. Despite his substantial family wealth, he couldn’t afford such a generous loss, gambling away a luxury car worth tens of millions.
Huang Dalong saw Xu Shaohua’s gloomy face and took the initiative, "Do you want me to not drive you back?"
Xu Shaohua’s expression fluctuated, and he shook his head. He felt he needed to reassess Ye Qiu, as this guy had been more unpredictable than expected.
"No need, you guys go ahead." Xu Shaohua walked away alone, leaving the few female classmates sulkily, especially Wang Feifei, who immediately chased after Xu Shaohua’s retreating figure.
After the two returned to the Lin’s home, Lin Qiao’er warned Ye Qiu, "Since this car was won from Xu Shaohua, he will definitely try to get it back."
That was obvious without saying. Xu Shaohua wouldn’t just let it go.
"With my strength, are you worrying for me?" Ye Qiu laughed.
Lin Qiao’er immediately pouted. While Ye Qiu’s strength was indeed the most formidable she had seen, this was still Wushan City—Xu’s territory. It was unpredictable when the Xu family might come knocking.
"Although you can fight, the opponent is the local snake of Wushan City. Almost the entire Wushan City’s industry is connected with the Xu family, whether it’s business or government among many other relations. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Xu family’s influence in Wushan City covers the sky," Lin Qiao’er said.
The Xu family has a large business and a vast network. Ye Qiu had greatly offended Xu Shaohua this time, and friction between them was inevitable sooner or later.
"Officer Lin, if you decide to marry Xu’s young master, I should immediately be safe, don’t you think?" Ye Qiu joked.
Lin Qiao’er gave Ye Qiu a look. As if she would marry Xu Shaohua, a guy who albeit courteous on the surface, was definitely still a playboy at heart. Follow current novᴇls on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"So, even though offending him brings a lot of trouble, I had no choice, for I am risking offending a major power in Wushan City all for Officer Lin’s happiness!" Ye Qiu laughed.
Lin Qiao’er huffed and walked into the courtyard without engaging further in Ye Qiu’s banter, as he started talking nonsense again.
With Ye Qiu’s skills, he should be safe. Even the bureau chief looks at this guy differently now, perhaps he can turn misfortune into fortune.
Lin Qiao’er stopped worrying about Ye Qiu’s safety. After the dinner party, the news that Xu Shaohua lost a luxury car worth millions to Ye Qiu spread quickly.
In Wushan City, many young princes were shocked. Xu Shaohua, while not unbeatable in Wushan City, was still someone who walked sideways, someone no one dared to provoke. However, Ye Qiu’s arrival caused Xu Shaohua to lose such face among the many second-generation rich kids, creating a blemish that he would not be able to escape being teased about in the future.
"Who is this fierce guy from? Zhongshan City? I’ve never heard of him before."
"I know Lin Qiao’er. So this guy is Lin Qiao’er’s boyfriend? Wasn’t it said that Xu Shaohua went to Lin’s house for a matchmaking session to meet her parents? It seems something has changed."
The discussions of some people did not escape Xu Shaohua’s ears. Soon, someone snitched, entirely narrated their backbiting, and Xu Shaohua’s hatred for Ye Qiu deepened upon hearing it.
"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become a laughingstock in everyone’s eyes. Ye Qiu, I, Xu Shaohua, swear not to be a human if I don’t drive you out of Wushan City," Xu Shaohua said fiercely.
Having won a luxury car, Ye Qiu no longer needed Lin Qiao’er to drive him around.
Driving around in what used to be Xu Shaohua’s car, Ye Qiu attracted much attention, many people gestured and whispered as they saw Ye Qiu driving the Bugatti.
Hearing how Ye Qiu frequently drove his former beloved car for fun trips really fueled the fire in Xu Shaohua’s heart.
But he did not rush to cause trouble for Ye Qiu this time; without full assurance, he would not easily make a move.
When Xu’s father heard about Xu Shaohua’s incident, he scolded him, complaining about losing a bet. It’s one thing to lose, but to lose to Ye Qiu just fueled the rival’s arrogance.
Not wanting to disappoint his father, Xu Shaohua specially hired several experts this time to deal with Ye Qiu, sparing no expense, yet Xu Shaohua didn’t blink an eye.
Lin’s father and mother were surprised to see Ye Qiu driving Xu Shaohua’s car. They knew Xu Shaohua would not give up so easily and were curious as to how Ye Qiu would face Xu Shaohua when he came looking for trouble again.
During the period Xu Shaohua went to hire the experts, Lin Qiao’er acted as Ye Qiu’s guide. The two toured major attractions in Wushan City, and many people even vacated their spots upon seeing the license plate of Ye Qiu’s Bugatti, which slightly surprised Ye Qiu. Xu the Young Master’s influence was not small; many were indeed afraid of him.
As Ye Qiu was driving around, enjoying the city, the old troublemaker called him.
"There is a big shot who is seriously ill and seeking medical help everywhere. He came to me, but I am busy with Dragon Group affairs and can’t get away, so I recommended you to him. If someone with the surname Jiang approaches you, go with him and cure the person he wants healed," the old troublemaker said.
Ye Qiu’s face darkened; he knew from the old troublemaker’s words that he was too lazy to take action himself and was pushing the trouble onto him.
"Don’t slack off, boy. This big shot was one of those who voted for your junior general rank. He’s also an old friend of your master. You must do your best to treat him; he could be a valuable connection for you in the future," the old troublemaker said earnestly.
Only then did Ye Qiu realize that the old troublemaker was paving the way for him to maintain a good relationship with the big shot, so he nodded in agreement.
Treating the sick was not difficult for him now. He was also curious to meet this significant figure, one that even had the old troublemaker calling him and instructing him so thoroughly.
"This person must be quite extraordinary," Ye Qiu said with a smile on his face.
