Qin Sheng did not know much about Cao Yufeng’s family background. All he had known was that all of his family members were civil servants, who were somewhat powerful. So Cao Yufeng had been enrolled in the system after passing the national civil service examination. He was doing well in his career currently.
Cao Yufeng had been understated in the four years of college life, looking quite plain and ordinary. He had not been as cynical as Xia Ding. Nor had he been the same as Yu Kefei, who was not eye-catching, yet not ordinary at all. Usually, it had been Xia Ding and Yu Kefei who had made trouble outside and Qin Sheng and Cao Yufeng who had cleared up the mess for them. Whatever the four roommates had encountered, nobody had ever pulled their legs.
Though Qin Sheng had gone through quite a hard time in the last few years, who had seen Xia Ding frequently and seen less of Cao Yufeng and Yu Kefei, they did not cut their communications at all. The feelings between them were still there. Rarely had they contacted each other if nothing happened. If something did happen, they would come to each other’s side after a simple phone call.
Back when Qin Sheng had seen Cao Yufeng a moment ago, he had felt somewhat surprised. It did not occur to him that they would meet here. However, as he pondered later, he figured it out. After all, Cao Yufeng was a Beijinger and all his family members were civil servants. His family background might be more powerful than he had guessed.
Qin Sheng did not know the details of the grudge between Lao Cao and the group of people. However, he did not have time to bother with this at all right now. Of course, he would stand by Cao Yufeng’s side decisively. However, it did not occur to him that the man would strike out first before he arrived there. The man’s aggressive behavior made Qin Sheng feel quite angry.
Anyway, since his sister had said that he could feel free to offend this group of people, it indicated that they were not amazing at all. Consequently, Qin Sheng was not concerned at all. Moreover, it was his counterpart who had struck out first. However, he did not understand why Lao Cao had not dared to fight back after he had been hit, which Qin Sheng found somewhat aggrieving.
What had been going on here got everybody’s attention. After all, it was the first time they had seen somebody dare to fight here.
As Cao Yufeng stared at Qin Sheng, who was walking over here slowly, the expression on his face was quite complex. He simply did not believe that he had come across Qin Sheng in this place, which was simply too fantastic. Even so, since Cao Yufeng had been staying in the system, he returned to his senses after feeling lost for a moment. Feeling somewhat emotional, he did not know what he should say to Qin Sheng just then.
Cao Yufeng asked somewhat anxiously, “Big Boss, why, why are you here?” After all, he had been busy getting acquainted with various friends under Luo Xiu’s guidance a moment ago. He simply had not paid attention to Qin Sheng at all.
Qin Sheng squinted and said, “Now is not the time for us to catch up.”
Qin Sheng turned around, looked at Du Xuan, who had hit Cao Yufeng, and said with great interest, “You dare to fight here. The way I see it, your family background must be powerful.”
Du Xuan stared at Qin Sheng and said thoughtfully, “Yeah, so what? Do you want to stand up for him?” He had seen the majority of the people here and knew whose family background was more influential than his. However, he had not seen Qin Sheng at all. Consequently, he thought that Qin Sheng was the same as Cao Yufeng, who had come here relying on others’ connections. After all, Cao Yufeng had called Qin Sheng “Big Boss”.
Qin Sheng walked forward a few paces and stared at Du Xuan in his eyes as he said, “No. I just think of you as an eyesore to me.”
After Qin Sheng finished his words, he struck out unexpectedly and kicked Du Xuan in the stomach directly, making Du Xuan fall straight backward and onto the ground heavily. He did not bother to talk any nonsense at all. After all, his counterpart had struck out first. In this case, he did not need to reason with him anymore.
This scene made everybody who had been paying attention to the situation here feel astounded. It did not occur to them that the conflict would become worse and worse. Some people had started walking over there, many of which were Du Xuan’s friends as well the core figures of his circle.
Back when Du Xuan had hit Cao Yufeng, Qin Ran already knew how the situation would go. It did not occur to her that Du Xuan would dare to start fighting here. Could it be that he was fearless or he held Qin Sheng’s friend in contempt?
Qin Ran knew that based on Qin Sheng’s temper, he definitely would fight back without any hesitation since he had known where her bottom line would lay. As expected, Qin Sheng walked forward and fought back without saying anything.
As Ma Weiyang, who had been observing the situation there, saw what had happened, she was not concerned at all. Instead, she said excitedly, “What the hell? His kick was a good one, decisive and fast. It did not occur to me that our brother was so handsome while fighting.”
Qin Ran had known Ma Weiyang’s character well before, who liked watching for fun. Anyway, nobody dared to offend her casually. Only she was entitled to bully others. Of course, when Ma Weiyang came across those whom she could not offend, she would choose to keep a low profile.
Fan Dezhi and Yin Hao frowned, wondering why Qin Sheng had started fighting. They asked in a hurry, “What’s going on?”
Qin Ran replied honestly, “The man who got punched a moment ago is Qin Sheng’s friend.” She said so to tell them that it was the others, not Qin Sheng, who had started the fight. Even if they would get in trouble later, they were justifiable to do that, which was pretty important.
At this moment, the group of people including Qin Ran noticed that the figures of Du Xuan’s circle had rushed to Qin Sheng’s location. Of course, they needed to back Du Xuan up. Consequently, they stood up unanimously and walked over there.
In the epicenter of the conflict, Du Xuan had been kicked away by Qin Sheng, which startled Cao Yufeng. Cao Yufeng looked pale and stopped Qin Sheng in a hurry as he said, “Big Boss, this is not a place where we should cause trouble.”
Qin Sheng replied disapprovingly, “If something happens, I will take care of it.” He simply did not take Cao Yufeng’s words to heart.
On the other side, it did not occur to Du Xuan’s sworn follower, Ding Wen, that the man in front of him would dare to beat Du Xuan. He rushed at Qin Sheng without hesitation. Even if he would be beaten, never would he just sit and watch. Otherwise, he would not be on good terms with Du Xuan in the future. In that case, even if he was still in the circle, he probably would be looked down upon.
“Big Boss, watch out.” As Cao Yufeng saw Ding Wen rushing over, he pushed Qin Sheng away in a hurry and confronted Ding Wen. Unfortunately, he was not even prepared at all. As Ding Wen kicked right away at his shoulder, he staggered to the right side a few steps. If Luo Xiu had not supported him quickly, he would have fallen.
Ding Wen acted more vigorously after taking advantage of Cao Yufeng. He punched at Qin Sheng by Cao Yufeng’s side conveniently. Qin Sheng became somewhat angry and thought, “He f**king dares to attack me sneakily. How f**king reckless he is.” Consequently, Qin Sheng grabbed Ding Wen’s arms directly. At this time, Ding Wen sensed his attack and strength and realized that he was a martial artist. However, it was too late. Qin Sheng punched him right in his abdomen. Ding Wen grimaced in pain. Following that, Qin Sheng hit him with his knees. He was thrown away and lay on the ground the same way as Du Xuan had.
Du Xuan’s girlfriend, Cai Han, was panic-stricken by this unexpected incident. She stood where she had been, feeling lost. A good while later, she came to her senses and ran at Du Xuan in a hurry.
Compared with Du Xuan, though Luo Xiu said she was concerned, she was quite clear-headed at least. She swiftly pondered the chaos that this issue would possibly cause. This was because neither Du Xuan and Ding Wen were ordinary. Moreover, they had fought and made a scene here. She did not know who the man was whom Cao Yufeng had called “Big Boss” and whom she had never seen before at least. Consequently, she needed to take the worst outcome into consideration and think about whether she could help out Cao Yufeng and his Big Boss.
A few key figures of Du Xuan and Ding Wen’s social circle finally arrived. They said, “You are so bold as to cause trouble here.” The looks in their eyes were changing constantly. After all, their friends, Du Xuan and Ding Wen, were still lying on the ground.
Qin Sheng replied without ever flinching, “I think everybody on the scene saw who fought first. If you do not know the truth, you can check out the surveillance video and take a look.”
Another man stepped out and snorted, “Is that the reason why you hurt them?”
Qin Sheng squinted and said, “So you intend to handle this issue emotionally.”
Since these people had never seen Qin Sheng, they held him in contempt. After all, having been surrounded by various kinds of figures all the time, they had not noticed Qin Sheng at all. Moreover, Qin Sheng had been here for just a short while.
A man who had entered this place with Du Xuan and Ding Wen spoke again. “If I say yes, so what?” It was clear that he would stand up for Du Xuan and Ding Wen this time. After all, their families were on pretty good terms with each other. Moreover, they were all inside the same system.
At this time, the group of people including Qin Ran and Ma Weiyang had walked over there. “Clap, clap, clap!” Ma Weiyang clasped her hands directly, sneered, and said, “So what? What nice wording! Then I will see how Young Master Liu will handle this issue emotionally.”
Qin Ran walked to Qin Sheng’s side, held his hands, and asked, “Are you all right?”
Qin Sheng smiled awkwardly, glimpsed at Cao Yufeng by his side, whose face was somewhat swollen, and said, “I am fine. But my friend is hurt.”
At this time, the focus of this conflict was no longer on Qin Sheng, Cao Yufeng, Du Xuan, and Ding Wen anymore. Instead, it was about the collision between two circles. It did not occur to Cao Yufeng that they would cause such a big scene. He stared at Qin Sheng quite confusedly, feeling somewhat concerned.
Qin Ran patted Cao Yufeng’s shoulder and smiled as she said, “It’s all right. The sky won’t fall.”
Though Cao Yufeng did not know the group of people that included Qin Ran and Ma Weiyang, Luo Xiu did. However, she did not have many connections with them. After all, her family background was nothing at all in front of this group of people. She had been concerned as to how to deal with this issue a moment ago, which was overwhelmingly big trouble for her. But she was not worried anymore. Instead, she was somewhat curious about who Cao Yufeng’s Big Boss was. It seemed that this Big Boss was quite familiar with this group of people.
The man who had said “so what” a moment ago became somewhat diffident instantly. However, he braced himself to say, “Sister Pony, what do you mean? Do you want to stand up for him?”
Ma Weiyang stared at him and replied in a poor tone, “My name is Ma Weiyang. Are you qualified to call me Sister Pony?”
As Qin Sheng heard her words, he could not help applauding Sister Pony and thinking, “I like Sister Pony’s temperament. This is what dealing with an issue emotionally should look like.”
Since Ma Weiyang had stepped up, Qin Ran also stood out at this time and said, “Since you are going to deal with this issue emotionally, that’s OK. Then let’s do some reasoning. This is my biological brother, Qin Sheng. How are you going to help them?”
Though Fan Dezhi and Yin Hao did not say anything, they all stood behind Qin Sheng without hesitation and glared at the group of people across from them. The message they conveyed was quite clear: if you want to cause a scene, let’s see who is more amazing.
At this time, a man looking graceful came to the front of Du Xuan’s group and said smilingly, “Qin Ran, what you said is unreasonable. Everybody knows that you are the only child of the Qin Family. When did you have a brother? If you want to help him, it should not be done in this way.”
Du Xuan and Ding Wen had been pulled up. The expressions on their faces were quite ghastly. After all, Qin Sheng had hit them much harder. At first, when they saw the brothers of their social circles had rushed over, they planned to stand up and cause another scene. However, it did not occur to them that Ma Weiyang and Qin Ran would back Qin Sheng up, which made them feel diffident. After they saw the man in front of them, they were confident again.
Ma Weiyang taunted them as she said, “Yo, I was wondering who it is. It turns out it is Director Chen. Here comes your backbone, guys. However, should the Qin Family report to you about the issues in their family? Director Chen, you take yourself too seriously.”
The man named Director Chen said moodily, “Ma Weiyang, Qin Ran, I don’t care what is your relationship with this man. Though it is Du Xuan’s fault since he fought first, this man hit them so hard. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation for that?” Since this issue was related to the reputation of his social circle, never would he flinch.
At this moment, their location became the focus of the whole audience. Everybody on the scene started converging there, who wanted to know what had happened. A man also walked over, who turned out to be Song Hesheng.
Regardless of the relationship between him and Qin Ran and his attitude toward Qin Sheng, he could not turn a blind eye to the issue since the communication between the Song Family and Qin Family was there. Consequently, after he heard Chen Taihe’s aggressive words, he could not help sneering, “Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?”
