Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 115 - 116: Ask the Woman Big Shot Behind Me to Come Out and See Me!

"It’s not that I’m raising the price on a whim, nor am I insatiably greedy," sensing Qin Long’s bone-chilling coldness, the female deputy manager said hurriedly. "There’s a sensitive reason for this..."

"Is that so?" Qin Long raised an eyebrow. A sensitive reason? Could it be that some powerful figure is backing him?

"Even if you were a close friend or relative of Zhou Hongying," the woman said, shaking her head and sighing repeatedly, "I still wouldn’t dare make that promise to you."

Qin Long’s brow furrowed as he continued to listen. For Wang Ming, they’re willing to slap Zhou Hongying in the face. Could the Wang Family of Jiangzhong really be more powerful than the head of the Binhai District? Or perhaps the Wang Family has some formidable backer? It seems I’ll have to find time to visit this influential figure from the Wang Family in person!

"Mr. Qin, I’m telling you this in confidence, so you must not repeat it to anyone else," she whispered. "And out of respect for Ms. Zhou, I’ll offer you a word of advice. A major figure is planning to deal with Wang Ming. You’d be better off not getting involved..." The deputy manager promptly snapped her mouth shut, terrified that the walls had ears.

Qin Long instantly understood the situation. So, it’s not because of Wang Ming himself, but because someone is deliberately trying to humiliate him. And this person must have an immense background; otherwise, this deputy manager wouldn’t be so conflicted.

Regardless, Qin Long was determined to secure the Sky Garden for that day.

"I don’t care about any of that. That day must be mine," Qin Long stated, his voice firm. "I don’t care if the person is the War King himself."

The deputy manager was instantly speechless, her face a mask of conflict. On one side was a man even Zhou Hongying had to respect; on the other was a powerful woman who wouldn’t hesitate to go on a killing spree at the slightest disagreement. She was just an employee with a negligible amount of shares. She couldn’t afford to provoke either of them.

"Mr. Qin, please, have mercy. Let me off the hook, won’t you?" the deputy manager pleaded after a moment of thought.

Qin Long looked at her and gestured dismissively. "Fine. I’ll give you and the Longquan Hotel some face. Notify that so-called ’major figure.’ Tell him that day is mine. He can either accept it or face the consequences."

With that, Qin Long snatched her phone, dialed his own number, and then left, leaning on his crutch.

"Take care, Mr. Qin," the deputy manager called after him, wiping cold sweat from her brow and taking a deep breath. "I will be sure to deliver your message."

Just then, the female supervisor from before hurried over with a smile. "Deputy Manager, how did the discussion go? What? He wants that day too? How bizarre! What’s so special about that day? Is it when the gods descend to Earth or something?" The supervisor covered her face and scratched her head in bewilderment.

First, Wang Ming, the young master from Jiangzhong, had spent 10,000,000 to book the day. Then, a powerful woman had demanded it. Now, it was this Qin Long, a man who rode an electric scooter. Even if she’d never heard of him, Zhou Hongying’s attitude toward him proved he was no ordinary person. Moreover, the man seemed to have no concept of money, casually offering to raise the price by 100,000,000. He was definitely not someone they could afford to offend. But the reservation could only go to one person.

"Sigh, what a cursed day," the supervisor lamented.

"I know, right? We thought we were going to make a fortune," the deputy manager said. "Now it looks like this money is more trouble than it’s worth! It could be the death of us!" She decided to notify the powerful woman immediately; the situation was beyond their ability to handle. Whatever happened next was out of their hands.

On the way home, Qin Long called Jiang Haijing. He had to find out if it was Wang Ming or some other big shot who had booked that day. Whoever it was, Qin Long knew they had to be extraordinarily powerful. Otherwise, the deputy manager wouldn’t have repeatedly refused his offers and risked offending Zhou Hongying. He needed to understand the Wang Family’s status and influence in Jiangzhong.

After a brief inquiry, he learned that the Wang Family was a new first-tier family in Jiangzhong. They were quite wealthy, with assets in real estate, finance, hospitals, and more, making them a hot commodity in the city. As for whether they had connections with the government, Jiang Haijing wasn’t sure. It was clear, however, that the Wang Family had a strong backer.

"It seems a meeting with the head of the Wang Family is necessary," Qin Long muttered to himself, a hint of cold arrogance in his eyes. If the Wang Family knows what’s good for them, they can continue to exist. Otherwise, they’ll be annihilated.

「Meanwhile, within an extremely luxurious garden in Jiangzhong.」

After receiving the report from his deputy, the owner of the Longquan Hotel immediately hailed a taxi and rushed over to inform Qing’er. Upon hearing the news, Qing’er frowned and immediately went to report to Xiao Lingyue.

"What? Someone is being that audacious?" Xiao Lingyue said teasingly, fiddling with a throwing knife. "They don’t even have regard for the War King?"

"That’s what the hotel owner said," Qing’er replied with a nod, knowing the man wouldn’t dare lie to them.

"How arrogant," Xiao Lingyue said, stopping the knife’s movement. She looked up and her beautiful eyes sharpened. "Did he reveal his identity?"

"The details are unclear. The owner said he seems to be friends with the head of the Binhai District."

Qing’er waved her hand dismissively, unconcerned about his background. In front of my mistress, everyone has to tuck their tail between their legs and behave. That’s confidence. It doesn’t matter who he is.

"Oh my, the head of the Jiangzhong authorities?" Xiao Lingyue stretched her long, perfect figure and licked her red lips. "No one is allowed to interfere with the Dragon Commander’s plan. Not the head of Jiangzhong, and not even someone from Yanjing. I’d like to see for myself which one of these fools isn’t afraid to die. I’ll go meet him myself tomorrow." She sat down, her gaze turning cold as she stared into the distance.

"Mistress, you don’t need to act personally," Qing’er said, alarmed. "I can take care of it myself."

"No need," Xiao Lingyue said, her expression serious as she brushed a piece of lint off her clothes. "The Tang Family’s celebration is approaching. I need to personally give these restless factions a warning. Tell him to bring all of his backers with him. I’ll warn them all at once to clear the path for the Dragon Commander."

Xiao Lingyue’s voice brooked no argument.

「The next day.」

「Longquan Hotel, Jiangzhong.」

Qin Long slowly rode his electric scooter over. The female deputy manager had personally called to inform him that the big shot behind the scenes wanted to meet. He had come at once. Even though this person’s background was supposedly extraordinary, Qin Long didn’t care who it was. He would secure that day’s reservation. He considered it a meaningful thing he could do for Xuewu.

He rode his electric scooter straight to the entrance of the Longquan Hotel. Just as he was parking it, a mocking voice called out from behind him.

"Well, well, if it isn’t Qin the cripple?"

It was none other than Wang Ming. He was dressed in a blue suit and Nike sneakers, clutching a black leather satchel under his arm with a smug look on his face. Beside him clung a gorgeous, curvaceous woman, pressing her body intimately against his.

"Oh my, my apologies. That just slipped out; I’m so used to saying it!" Wang Ming said, taking off his sunglasses and looking at Qin Long with utter disdain. He deliberately pulled the woman closer, using her to shield himself in case Qin Long attacked.
