Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

After a long while, she stopped laughing, wiped her eyes, looked at Qin Luo, and said in an incredulous tone.

"Mr. Qin...you...what did you just say? Go to war with Anbang? Hahaha...that's the funniest joke I've heard in years!"

She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the desk, chin in her hand, watching Qin Luo with great interest, as if looking at a naive and ignorant child.

“Mr. Qin, I know you have some ability; to have put Buddha in the hospital is indeed impressive. I also know you have some connections, perhaps you're not simple. But…”

Her tone suddenly turned cold, carrying an undisguised contempt and warning.

"Do you have some misunderstanding about the name 'Anbang Group'? Do you think that just because you can deal with that businessman Fu Yongnian, you have the right to yell at Anbang? Fu Yongnian is just a businessman with some money, while Anbang... is a behemoth that has been rooted in Fujian for decades, with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and its tentacles extend to every corner!"
I dismissed your earlier remarks as youthful ramblings born of youthful impulsiveness. However, I advise you not to bring up such foolish talk of "starting a war" again. Otherwise, if it reaches the wrong ears and sparks a real conflict, the outcome might not be as favorable as it is today.

She waved her hand, signaling him to leave.

"I have no comment on Fu Kangxiong's matter. Mr. Qin, if there's nothing else, the betting is over, I will pay the money as promised, please leave."

Qin Luo's face darkened. He stood up from the sofa, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring directly at Rose.

"It seems Anbang is determined to protect him? Do you all think that the name Anbang is enough to scare everyone?"

Rose met his gaze defiantly, her tone indifferent.

“Anbang doesn’t need to intimidate anyone, but it’s not a place where just anyone can provoke us. Mr. Qin, please leave.”

What if I said I wasn't afraid?

Qin Luo took a step forward, his imposing aura overwhelming.

"Fukangxiong, will you hand it over or not?"

The air in the office seemed to freeze instantly, and the temperature plummeted. Rose's face also turned completely cold; she hadn't expected Qin Luo to be so ungrateful and aggressive.

She was about to speak, using an even harsher tone to rebuke the other person—

"boom!"

Just then, the heavy solid wood door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, making a dull thud that broke the tense atmosphere inside.

Three figures filed in.

The leader was a middle-aged man of medium build, with a full beard, sharp eyes, and around forty years old. He was dressed in a well-fitting dark suit and had a composed demeanor.

Qin Luo did not know this person.

The two people following behind him were Qin Luo's "acquaintances"—the Wu siblings, Wu Yufeng and Wu Wanqing!
Wu Yufeng still maintained his air of a young master, but his expression had become less flamboyant and more reserved. Wu Wanqing, on the other hand, wore a well-tailored pale yellow dress, her figure slender and her face beautiful, though a hint of melancholy seemed to linger between her brows.

The moment her gaze met Qin Luo's, he subconsciously glanced at her chest—those full breasts that were almost indistinguishable in appearance, but only he knew that the left side was a cold and perfect substitute.

Wu Yufeng and Wu Wanqing were clearly surprised to see Qin Luo. They both paused, their faces showing astonishment. Wu Yufeng's eyes flickered; he obviously hadn't expected to encounter Qin Luo here.

Wu Wanqing frowned slightly, her gaze quickly sweeping between Qin Luo and the roses behind the desk, filled with inquiry and a hint of inexplicable complexity.

After a brief moment of surprise, Wu Yufeng quickly put on a warm smile, as if all the previous conflicts with Qin Luo had never happened. He strode forward and laughed heartily.

"Oh my! Brother Qin! What a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here! What, are you also interested in the establishments in Xishan?"

As he spoke, he subtly observed the lingering tension between Qin Luo and Rose, his mind racing.

Then, as if remembering something, he leaned closer to Qin Luo, lowered his voice, and asked with a mixture of probing and familiarity.

"By the way, Brother Qin, about that thing I told you about last time... what's your thought about it?"

He was referring, of course, to the idea he had half-jokingly and half-seriously suggested on a certain occasion that Qin Luo "marry" Wu Wanqing in order to resolve their grievances or even form a marriage alliance.

Qin Luo glanced at him and said indifferently.

"Young Master Wu is joking. Such a major matter is not child's play. I need time."

Wu Yufeng was met with a rebuff, but he didn't mind and just laughed it off.

"That's right, that's right, that's what I should do!"

Wu Wanqing, who was behind him, vaguely heard "that incident last time," and tugged at her brother's sleeve in confusion, asking in a low voice.

"Brother, what's up? What did you two agree on?"

"It's nothing, nothing, just a small business matter."

Wu Yufeng quickly waved his hand, giving a vague and perfunctory answer, clearly not wanting his sister to know about his absurd proposal to "sell his sister to make peace."

He turned enthusiastically to Qin Luo, changing the subject.

"Brother Qin, since you've come to Xishan, you're a guest! Come on, let me treat you today and show you around! There are so many fun places in Xishan: hot springs, horse farms, golf courses... whatever you want to do, just say the word, and it's all on me!"

His deliberate attempt to ingratiate himself was quite obvious. He was clearly determined to ease or even win over Qin Luo, after all, in his mind, this man was a potential "brother-in-law" candidate, at least the best way to resolve the Wu family's awkward situation and perhaps even climb the social ladder.

Wu Wanqing, standing to the side, was even more puzzled. Her brother had always been arrogant, protective of his own, and vengeful. Last time, she was clearly humiliated in public by Qin Luo, and her brother also suffered a loss. According to his personality, even if he didn't retaliate immediately, he should have definitely given her a cold shoulder and never spoken to her again.

Why are they suddenly being so enthusiastic towards Qin Luo, even bordering on fawning? This is so unusual!
Meanwhile, Night Rose, sitting behind her desk, was no less surprised than Wu Wanqing.

She naturally knew the Wu siblings and knew about their past conflicts with Qin Luo, especially the incident of Wu Wanqing being beaten, which wasn't a secret in a certain small circle. Given Wu Yufeng's vindictive and fiercely protective nature, how could he possibly treat Qin Luo this way? And even proactively invite him on a trip and cover his expenses? This was simply unbelievable!
Just as Rose was filled with doubts and pondering this strange situation, Qin Luo seemed to ignore Wu Yufeng's enthusiastic invitation.

His gaze once again passed over Wu Yufeng and locked firmly on Rose's face. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable insistence, forcefully pulling the topic back to the present.

"Sister Rose, you haven't answered my question yet. Where is Fukangxiong?" Rose's face instantly darkened, as if covered with a layer of frost.

She had initially thought that the arrival of the Wu siblings and the middle-aged expert would make Qin Luo more cautious, at least temporarily. Unexpectedly, this guy was so oblivious to the situation, so domineering, completely ignoring the three who had suddenly appeared, and still wouldn't let go of the issue with Fu Kangxiong!

Did he really think that just because he could injure Buddha, he could act with such impunity in Xishan and on Anbang's territory?! Rose was secretly furious, and her gaze towards Qin Luo turned completely cold.

When Wu Yufeng and Wu Wanqing, along with the middle-aged man with a thick beard called Jiang Ling, pushed open the door and saw Qin Luo and Ye Meigui in the same room, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat stagnant rather than ambiguous, their first thought was surprise.

Night Rose's office is off-limits to ordinary people. Those who can speak with her alone here are either extremely important guests or people with whom she has a close relationship.

Which category does Qin Luo belong to? They subconsciously leaned towards the latter, after all, Qin Luo's methods and background were shrouded in mystery.

However, what Night Rose said next was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the ambiguous speculation in their hearts.

"Young Master Wu, Mr. Jiang, you've come at the perfect time."

The charming smile on Night Rose's face had vanished, replaced by a cold, businesslike demeanor, even carrying a hint of mockery.

"This Mr. Qin Luo just claimed here that if Anbang doesn't hand over the person he's looking for, he'll go to war with our Anbang Group."

She deliberately emphasized the word "start war," her gaze sweeping over Wu Yufeng and Jiang Ling.

"Listen to this, isn't it... interesting?"

"War?!"

Wu Yufeng's smile froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his heart skipped a beat! He had just been strategizing how to win over Qin Luo, and in the blink of an eye, he heard such earth-shattering words! War? With Anbang? Has this guy gone mad?! He immediately realized that something was wrong; this was definitely not a situation he had anticipated that could be easily resolved or won over!

Jiang Ling frowned, his sharp gaze fixed on Qin Luo with scrutiny and a hint of displeasure. To utter the word "war" in Xishan, on Anbang's territory, was utterly arrogant, regardless of who the person was!

Wu Yufeng reacted quickly, stepping forward and forcing a smile, trying to smooth things over.

"Misunderstanding! This must be a misunderstanding! Brother Qin, Sister Rose, we're all on the same side, let's talk things out, why make things so tense? What's with all this talk of war? It's too damaging to our harmony!"

"Misunderstand?"

Night Rose gave a cold laugh, her red lips curving into a chilling arc.

"I didn't misunderstand. Mr. Qin said it himself: if Anbang doesn't hand over a man named Fu Kangxiong, he will go to war with us. Young Master Wu, Mr. Jiang, you be the judge, isn't this a blatant disregard for Anbang?"

Fu Kangxiong?!

Wu Yufeng's heart skipped a beat again! Of course he knew this name! Fu Yongnian's nephew seemed to have gotten himself into big trouble recently. It was said that even Fu Yongnian had suffered a setback. He never expected that the real culprit would come all the way to Xishan!
Moreover, judging from this situation, Qin Luo is determined to arrest him, and Anbang... seems to know about it and may even have provided protection? This pool of water is much deeper and more murky than he imagined!

Wu Yufeng instantly understood why Night Rose refused to reveal the reason. Anbang's protection of Fu Kangxiong must involve more complex figures and interests, which could not be decided by Night Rose alone, and might even have come from the direct instruction of Qiu Qinyun or An Ruoxi.

Although his Wu family was a force to be reckoned with, it was still somewhat inferior to Anbang and was even less willing to get involved in this vortex that was clearly a battle of titans.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately made a decision—retreat! He absolutely couldn't get involved! Whether he helped Rose fight Qin Luo or turned around and helped Qin Luo put pressure on Rose, it wouldn't benefit the Wu family at all; it would only cause trouble and might even offend both sides at the same time!
"Oh dear! Look at my memory!"

Wu Yufeng slapped his forehead, his face showing annoyance and anxiety.

"I suddenly remembered that the old man has an urgent meeting that I must attend! I'm so sorry, so sorry! Sister Rose, Brother Qin, you two talk first, I'll take my leave! Wanqing, come on, come on, don't delay the important business!"

Without saying a word, he grabbed Wu Wanqing, who was still clueless and looking at him and Qin Luo with a puzzled expression, and practically dragged her out the door. His movements were so hurried that he looked rather disheveled.

"Brother! What are you doing! We just got here!"

Wu Wanqing stumbled as he pulled her, protesting softly in dissatisfaction. At the same time, she glanced back at Qin Luo and Rose with a puzzled look, not understanding why her brother had suddenly lost his composure.

"Shut up! Follow me!"

Wu Yufeng lowered his voice, his tone more stern and urgent than ever before. As he pushed his sister out, he waved to the people inside without turning his head.

"You all chat, you all chat! Goodbye, goodbye!"

Only when Wu Yufeng closed the office door from the outside, silencing Wu Wanqing's discontented grumbling, did Wu Yufeng finally breathe a long sigh of relief, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

He wiped his forehead and whispered to his sister, who still looked puzzled.

"Don't ask! Remember, stay away from Qin Luo from now on! And don't even think about revenge!"

"why?"

Wu Wanqing bit her lip, her eyes stubborn.

"He treated me like that last time..."

"Because you're less skilled! And more importantly, because the Wu family can't afford to offend you!"

Wu Yufeng interrupted her, his tone heavy.

"Didn't you feel the atmosphere inside just now? That guy... he's a madman! He even dared to threaten Anbang with war! What is our Wu family? If we get involved, we won't even know how we died! Revenge? Don't even think about it! From now on, if you see him, avoid him if you can, and if you can't avoid him, be polite to him! Do you hear me?!"

Wu Wanqing was taken aback by her brother's unprecedented sternness and the fear revealed in his words. Although she was still unwilling, she vaguely understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded silently.

……

Inside the office, the atmosphere didn't ease after the Wu siblings hastily left; instead, it became even more tense. Only Qin Luo, Night Rose, and the stern-faced, bearded Jiang Ling remained, having not uttered a word.

Jiang Ling and Qin Luo had no prior relationship. Jiang Ling was an employee of Anbang Group, responsible for security and special affairs in the Xishan area, and was one of Qiu Qinyun's trusted and capable lieutenants. Seeing Qin Luo alone, daring to make such outrageous statements and threaten Anbang in Xishan and in Rose's office, he was already displeased. (End of Chapter)
