Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 226 - 227: Angry Tang Xuewu!

"Moreover, you cannot act against Mr. Qin. Otherwise, we have the right to detain you."

"I hope Young Master Wang can understand the difficulties our hotel staff face."

The deputy general manager’s tone carried a hint of personal dissatisfaction, but she suppressed her anger to handle the situation.

"Very good!"

"Do you remember how you seduced me and climbed into my bed last time?"

"And now you dare to defy me?"

"I can have you fired with a single word, understand?" Wang Ming’s expression darkened as he pointed a finger at her.

But the deputy manager paid him no mind at all. She remembered her boss’s exact words: Provoking Wang Ming might, at most, cause the hotel to close for a few days for reorganization. But if they angered Qin Long, they would lose their lives. Therefore, she wasn’t afraid of offending Wang Ming.

If it weren’t for Qin Long, she would have already had her bodyguards give the man a beating before personally attending to him until he was satisfied. But this was Qin Long, and she couldn’t afford to be reckless.

"Young Master Wang, I hope you will be lenient."

"Besides, our bodyguards aren’t your personal thugs. I hope you can understand."

The deputy general manager then shot an icy glare at the dozen or so bodyguards.

"You all dare to offend even Mr. Qin!"

"Go to finance immediately to collect your pay, then pack your things and get out!"

"Mr. Qin, allow me to personally escort you out."

The deputy general manager looked at Qin Long with deference and personally helped him leave.

Watching this unfold, Wang Ming was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You’re courting death!"

But the Longquan Hotel was a powerful entity in Jiangzhong, so he didn’t dare lay a hand on the deputy general manager.

"Wang Ming, I’ll warn you one last time. If you don’t want to die, you’d better behave," Qin Long said, turning to smirk coldly at him. "If you don’t listen, then you and the entire Wang Family can cease to exist."

Hearing this, Wang Ming’s face turned ashen. He clenched his fists so hard the knuckles cracked.

"Haha!"

"Qin Long, and all of you at Longquan, just you wait."

"After the fiftieth-anniversary celebration, I’ll make you wish for death but be unable to die, and Longquan will have no reason to exist either!"

Wang Ming roared at the surrounding crowd before storming off, supported by his guards. He had originally come today to arrange his proposal to Tang Xuewu in the Sky Garden, but now that was pointless.

"I was originally going to let that dog live," Wang Ming seethed, now furious to the extreme. "But since he’s begging to die, I’ll grant his wish!"

「Meanwhile」

Qin Long had returned to the Tang family courtyard and went to Tang Xuewu’s room. When he saw Tang Xuewu ignoring him, he felt a sense of helplessness.

"Get out! What are you doing lingering in my room?" Tang Xuewu snapped, looking at him furiously before letting out a cold snort.

"I came to explain things," Qin Long said with a helpless shrug, his attitude friendly.

"I’m not listening! I’m not listening to your nonsense!" Tang Xuewu deliberately turned her back in a huff, though she snuck a peek at him.

This idiot. Can’t he just say something sweet? He’s just been sitting there for half an hour, afraid of making me even angrier.

"Xuewu, you’ve really misunderstood me," Qin Long said with a frown, shaking his head helplessly.

I’m trying to explain, but you won’t let me speak.

"Can’t you tell I was just saying things out of anger?" Tang Xuewu whirled around, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful. "Ugh, you’re so dense!"

"Can’t you just try to coax me a little?" she added, glaring at him angrily.

"But you’re the one who said it was nonsense and told me not to speak..." Qin Long replied after a moment’s thought, looking completely lost.

"You blockhead!"

"You big fool!"

Tang Xuewu was about to die from frustration. How could this guy be so clueless?

"How can you be so impatient when coaxing a girl? You big dummy!" she grumbled, gritting her teeth and glaring at him.

She found herself throwing a little tantrum. Perhaps it was because she had long since started to see Qin Long as family. Or maybe, he had already walked into her heart without her even realizing it. However, a guy like Qin Long, who couldn’t utter a single sweet word, gave her a real headache. It seemed she would have to lick her own wounds.

"Fine. I’ll give you one chance," Tang Xuewu said, picking up a cup of water, taking a sip, and looking at Qin Long again.

"Everything I showed you today, I paid for and prepared myself. It has nothing to do with anyone else, and it certainly wasn’t from Wang Ming," Qin Long explained with utmost seriousness.

"You paid for it?" Tang Xuewu’s eyes widened in an instant.

"Yes. I’m the one who booked the Sky Garden at the Longquan Hotel for the fiftieth-anniversary celebration," Qin Long said, holding nothing back.

Tang Xuewu was shocked at first. After a moment of thought, a skeptical look crossed her face, and she waved her hand dismissively. "Qin Long, you’re bragging again."

"I’ve already advised you not to make an enemy of Wang Ming. His family is very powerful in Jiangzhong; you can’t beat him."

"And the Longquan Hotel won’t provoke Wang Ming for you."

"It won’t work even if you try to pull strings with Lady Zhao."

"Don’t compete with Wang Ming for the Sky Garden during the fiftieth-anniversary celebration."

Tang Xuewu didn’t believe a word he said.

"I’m really not lying," Qin Long insisted. "I’ve already booked the Sky Garden. You’ll find out when the time comes."

He sighed helplessly. It seemed only the celebration itself would serve as proof. After all, actions speak louder than words. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Tang Xuewu still wanted to dissuade him, but she figured she could just find an excuse to take him out of town when the time came. So, she didn’t press the issue any further.

「Meanwhile」

A huge piece of news shook the Jiangzhong real estate world.

In recent years, Jiangzhong’s West Lake District has seen the fastest development and growth. As a result, land there is now worth its weight in gold. Many corporations were eager to auction Plot Number Nine to make a huge profit. The Wang Family of Jiangzhong had exhausted every effort for this opportunity, pulling numerous strings. They had essentially lined everything up, and with their substantial financial power, the plot was as good as theirs.

But no one expected an unforeseen contender to emerge. The previously unknown Aixue Group of Jiangzhong suddenly burst onto the scene.

Furthermore, they had prepared five billion in liquid cash. The Wang Family, by contrast, could scrape together one billion at most. It would be an absolutely crushing victory. What’s more, Aixue Group’s opening bid was five hundred million.

This news stunned countless corporations in Jiangzhong. An opening bid of five hundred million, and in cash! That wasn’t an amount just any company could produce.

Overnight, the obscure Aixue Group’s fame skyrocketed in Jiangzhong. Countless business owners were looking for an opportunity to connect with them. They knew they couldn’t compete with a company that could casually throw down five hundred million.

Even Old Master Tang, upon hearing the news, wanted to take the opportunity to cozy up to Aixue Group. Although he was no longer the company president—the position now held by Tang Xuewu’s second uncle, Tang Sen—Old Master Tang was still deeply concerned about the future development of the Tang Family.

Inside the Tang Family’s main meeting hall, all the core family members were present.

"Xuewu, why did you bring this cripple here?"
