Boarding Life-Chapter 499

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi’s nerves tightened, and he immediately thought of Wen Caidie’s safety.

He said in a deep voice, "They didn’t do anything, did they?"

Han Siqi replied, "No, they didn’t. I was worried about that too, but after all, Yuan Shangwu is with the Governance Department, so he wouldn’t dare do anything rash. From his tone, it seems he wants to wait for you, Master, to come over and negotiate with you!"

Hearing that the Yuan family hadn’t acted recklessly, Qin Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had stationed many personnel from the Martial Artists Association around the hotel.

However, the gap between martial artists and true experts is vast.

If the ancestor of the Yuan family were to make a move personally, even the masters from the Martial Artists Association wouldn’t be of any use.

"Treat them well, I’m coming over!" Qin Qi immediately hung up the phone.

He didn’t bother with his afternoon class and directly called Ning Wanyi to handle things for him, then hurriedly rushed to the hotel.

Han Siqi had been waiting for a long time, and upon seeing him arrive, quickly stepped up, "Master!"

Qin Qi asked, frowning, "Where are the Yuan family people?"

"LuLu and Sister Yufei are accompanying them. After all, I’m not an insider and it wouldn’t be proper for me to intervene!" Han Siqi explained honestly.

Upon hearing that Mo Yufei had returned, Qin Qi also felt relieved.

Since Mo Yufei had seniority in the circle, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to handle the Yuan family.

He immediately had Han Siqi lead him to the restaurant on the upper floor of the hotel.

Because of the Yuan family’s arrival, the restaurant was no longer open to the public, and the expansive third floor was completely empty.

As soon as he reached the restaurant, Qin Qi saw several people.

Among them, he recognized Mo Yufei and Shen Lulu. Opposite them, there sat a man with white hair, dressed in what looked like elderly fitness attire!

Beside him were a few middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, whose presence alone made it clear they were top-notch experts.

In such a setting, Shen Lulu didn’t have much room to speak, leaving Mo Yufei to pour tea and smile apologetically.

"Yufei, LuLu!"

Qin Qi announced upon his arrival.

Upon hearing Qin Qi’s voice, Mo Yufei and Shen Lulu visibly relaxed and immediately stood up to greet him.

"You two can sit down. These are esteemed guests, and I will entertain them personally!" Qin Qi spoke calmly.

Mo Yufei and Shen Lulu knew the importance of the situation and realized they couldn’t get involved today, so they stood aside without saying another word.

"I presume you are Chairman Qin!" The elderly man with white hair smiled kindly, "Hearing about you doesn’t compare to meeting you in person. Chairman Qin, you are indeed young and accomplished!"

Qin Qi also sized up the man, carefully noting that his presence exceeded his own.

He had already reached the level of a third-tier true expert.

Naturally, Qin Qi didn’t dare underestimate him, "You must be Manager Yuan from the Governance Department!"

Yuan Shangwu stroked his white beard and continued to smile kindly, "I’m no manager today. I took a special leave to come as a guest, hoping to have a chat with Chairman Qin!"

Qin Qi squinted his eyes to a slit, realizing that the other party intended to lay all cards on the table, he wasted no more time, "Manager Yuan, I also don’t like to beat around the bush. If there’s anything, please speak freely!"

"Is it about me injuring your younger family member, or are you here for Wen Caidie?"

Yuan Shangwu responded leisurely, "Haha, Yuan Qi was bold and dared to confront you, Chairman Qin. If he got hurt, then he deserved it. It’s no big deal; if it were me, I would have taught the boy an even harsher lesson — that would’ve been me being lenient!"

"However, regarding Wen Caidie, haha..."

Qin Qi’s heart tensed.

He truly wasn’t worried if they came for Yuan Qi; he was concerned if they came for Wen Caidie.

That would mean that Yuan Qi’s actions were under Yuan Shangwu’s directive, and it also indicated that Yuan Shangwu absolutely would not let the Wen Caidie matter go!

He could only deepen his voice, "What does Manager Yuan mean?"

"It’s simple, Chairman Qin. Our Yuan family has been on good terms with the Wen family for generations. Wen Caidie is the only descendant of the Wen family, and as an old acquaintance’s descendant, naturally, I must take good care of her. I kindly ask Chairman Qin to hand Wen Caidie over to me, and I’ll take care of her!" Yuan Shangwu said with a smiling countenance.

Qin Qi felt the urge to curse.

This Yuan Shangwu really had no shame.

The Wen family was clearly annihilated by your Yuan family, and now you claim past kinship?

But he knew this couldn’t be openly stated because he had no concrete evidence. As a manager of the Governance Department, how could Yuan Shangwu let himself get caught?

He could only say, "That won’t be necessary. Caidie, this little girl, has already taken me as her master. She’ll be well taken care of under my guidance!"

Yuan Shangwu didn’t waste words; instead, he took out some odd-looking things resembling medicinal materials and pushed them in front of Qin Qi.

"Chairman Qin, these are materials that I purchased at great expense during my earlier assignments in Shangjing. They have tremendous effects on nourishing one’s vital energy!"

Yuan Shangwu said slowly, "Unfortunately, I’m now too old, and even if I use these materials to steep wine or tea, they don’t have much use. It would be better if they were given to you, Chairman Qin..."

He examined Qin Qi’s eyes up and down. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Qin Qi couldn’t recognize many of these materials.

However, the mysterious woman smirked, "This guy is really willing to make an offer. Although they’re not invaluable, these materials do significantly aid someone at your level as a true expert!"

"If you absorb the essence completely, there’s a chance of breaking through to the third tier of true experts. Haha, the more they bring it up, the more it confirms our suspicions!"

Upon hearing the mysterious woman’s analysis, Qin Qi’s eyes squinted into slits again!

Gosh, help him break through the third tier of true experts?

This old man truly was willing to offer!

It seemed that on Wen Caidie, there might indeed be medical classics from the Silver Covenant Scrolls!

Although tempted, he also had his principles. Feeling tempted for a brief moment, he immediately responded, "Manager Yuan, you’d better take these back!"

Yuan Shangwu said slowly, "It seems Chairman Qin doesn’t know the use of these materials. How about I give you a detailed introduction..."

"No need, they’re of no use to me!" Qin Qi declined decisively and sharply.

He originally thought Yuan Shangwu might be offended by his rejection and get angry.

But to his surprise, Yuan Shangwu only paused briefly before changing his smile, "Ah, since Chairman Qin doesn’t need them, then I won’t impose. My visit today is just to say a few words to Chairman Qin!"

"Earlier, Qi’er’s confrontation was just a momentary impropriety and doesn’t represent the Yuan family. I also hope for a lasting friendship between the Yuan family and the Dingshan Martial Artists Association so that small matters won’t cause friction and damage harmony!"

"Alright, we have bothered Chairman Qin long enough and should take our leave!"

Seeing this, Qin Qi’s eyes gradually narrowed.

Was Yuan Shangwu really letting it go like this?

No, something’s off!

He distinctly noticed a gleam of coldness in Yuan Shangwu’s eyes earlier.

"After annihilating the entire Wen family, would they now just let it go?"

He was more inclined to believe that this Yuan Shangwu was a silent, dangerous type.

This type was precisely the hardest to handle!
