Boarding Life-Chapter 556

Old Han was the first to speak: "Zhang Quande, what brings you here!"

The madman also lost some of his previous arrogance and looked at the man named Zhang Quande with an expression of seriousness.

This Zhang surname belonged to a prominent family in Shangjing.

It was said that the Zhang family was founded by a Daoist who descended from Leihu Mountain, and in Shangjing, it was recognized as one of the five great families. Compared to the influence of various companies, the prestige, authority, and strength of these five families in Shangjing were not inferior and might even surpass them.

Because of this, seeing the arrival of Zhang Quande, the fourth young master of the Zhang family, Old Han and the madman showed exceptionally solemn expressions.

And if Qin Qi were here, he would have noticed that there was someone accompanying Zhang Quande.

This person was none other than the Yuan family's ancestor he previously negotiated with, Yuan Shangwu!

Yuan Shangwu, with hands clasped behind his back, said with a smile: "Old Han, Old Ming, we meet again!"

Old Han naturally noticed Yuan Shangwu as well. He was very familiar with Yuan Shangwu, as he played a significant role in making the Governance Department turn a blind eye on several occasions.

Zhang Quande wasted no time and directly got to the point: "Hehe, since you two are willing to come for Qin Qi, why can't our Zhang family share in the benefits?"

"You've also come for Qin Qi?" Mad Dog's expression sank, "It seems Qin Qi hasn't offended your Zhang family!"

Zhang Quande grinned, "This matter doesn't require your concern. I'll just ask you two, do you want to cooperate?"

"Your boss Cai Nian has to worry somewhat about Red Flower Company's reputation, but our Zhang family doesn't care about Red Flower Company. If you cooperate with us, even if Red Flower Company tries to protect him, it'll be of no use!"

Old Han and Mad Dog were clearly aware of the Zhang family's strength.

However, faced with Zhang Quande's offer, they showed no pleasure or excitement. Instead, they appeared worried and exchanged glances.

It's crucial to understand that their main purpose for dealing with Qin Qi was to help Cai Nian retrieve the scattered pages of the Silver Palace Scroll!

The importance of those Silver Palace Scroll pages cannot be overstated. If the Zhang family learned of this matter, how could they not be tempted?

Compared to the relatively insignificant Qin Qi, the threat posed by the Zhang family was much greater.

With this in mind, Mad Dog said expressionlessly, "Could it be Young Master Zhang is looking down on us? To deal with the insignificant Qin Qi, the two of us don't need to cooperate with anyone!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Well, thank you for your kind offer, Young Master Zhang. But the two of us are more than capable of dealing with Qin Qi!"

With that, Mad Dog and Old Han exchanged a glance and turned to leave.

Zhang Quande did not attempt to stop them, continuing to smile as he watched them depart.

Only after they were far away did Yuan Shangwu cautiously remark, "Fourth Young Master, it seems you guessed right!"

Zhang Quande sneered coldly, "That Cai Nian goes to such lengths to eliminate Qin Qi, even mobilizing his company's shareholders. He's even willing to spend a fortune to make the Governance Department turn a blind eye."

"It all seems too complicated to be simply wanting Qin Qi dead. If that were truly the case, our Zhang family's offer would be to their advantage; they have no reason to refuse!"

"Now, the only explanation is that Qin Qi holds some secret, a secret so enticing that Cai Nian is willing to risk offending Red Flower Company to eliminate Qin Qi!"

Yuan Shangwu, strategizing cunningly, spoke beside him, "Then, Fourth Young Master, are we just going to watch them make a move? With their combined strength, even if Qin Qi is protected by Ling Feixue and Xu Qiaoqiao, killing Qin Qi would be a piece of cake!"

Zhang Quande chuckled, "Why panic? To uncover Qin Qi's secret, we must first capture Qin Qi. Although I haven't met him, if he were that easy to capture, Old Han and that mad dog would have succeeded by now."

"Besides, we have our matters to attend to. First, we'll acquire the Wen family's medical book scroll. Qin Qi seeks to protect Wen Caide and intends to take Wen family's last descendant as his disciple!"

"Thus, we can achieve two goals in one stroke!"

Yuan Shangwu realized, "Fourth Young Master, you mean to capture Wen Caide first, then coerce Qin Qi. Fourth Young Master, this plan is brilliant. In this way, there's no need for me to manipulate matters from within the Governance Department. Qin Qi will come to us on his own accord!"

Zhang Quande also laughed sinisterly, "Next, we'll see what secret is hidden within Qin Qi that makes Cai Nian go to such efforts. Hehe, seems this trip to Shangjing might bring some unexpected rewards!"

...

The next morning.

Ling Feixue washed the towel and intended to wipe Qin Qi's body.

From yesterday till now, Qin Qi remained unconscious, especially overnight, where he sweat profusely.

Although she was worried, she didn't know what to do, as damage to the Dantian couldn't be resolved even in a hospital.

Soon, she carried the basin filled with water and the towel to Qin Qi's side.

She first helped Qin Qi take off his clothes, wiping him from head to toe.

Only when she reached his lower body, did Ling Feixue's face turn rosy.

"This, this guy, how can he be so lively while unconscious!"

Her pearly teeth bit gently as she gazed at the tent Qin Qi had pitched, her heart racing and cheeks blushing.

This blush conveyed the coyness of a maiden and the excitement of a woman.

Guided by a strange compulsion, her hand uncontrollably began to slowly pull Qin Qi's pants down.

She comforted herself in her heart, "I'm, I'm just helping him clean his body…"

But when she saw the true form, Ling Feixue's eyes wouldn't turn away.

For she knew clearly, this could drive her mad with desire, could bring her to ecstasy!

The longing and cherishing in her gaze, her attitude akin to viewing a treasure, could not be concealed.

"Anyway, he's still unconscious. I'm just going to touch it, just touch it, and she won't know!"

Thinking this, she immediately used her hand to play with it.

However, merely using her hand was apparently not enough to satisfy her, her attitude changed rapidly as if lightning-fast.

In the blink of an eye, she lowered her head and opened her cherry lips.

With one stroke, she swallowed it down.

Only after swallowing did that reassuring, comfortable feeling gradually return to Ling Feixue.

Though she hadn't noticed, Qin Qi's eyes had already opened at some point as she lowered her head!

"Damn, my head hurts…"

"Hmm, why does it feel so good!"
