The Prodigal Son

Qin Mansion.

Jiang Ci visited the Qin residence again.

Luo Qingyi and Nan Que'er were playing around with Jiang Ci as usual.

As the three women were chasing and playing in the courtyard, a servant rushed in to report: "Madams, something terrible has happened! A large group of people are rushing towards our mansion!"

Luo Qingyi was slightly taken aback, then frowned as she looked at the servant. "Are you sure you're coming to our residence?"

The servant nodded and said, "How can we not be sure! Some people have already rushed to the door, and there's a whole bunch more behind them!"

"How dare you!"

Luo Qingyi's expression suddenly turned cold, and she immediately ordered, "Order all non-guards in the manor to guard the gate! Anyone who dares to rush into the manor, beat them up first and then tie them up!"

"yes!"

The servant immediately took the order and left.

"Let's go out and have a look!"

Luo Qingyi turned to look at the two women, "I want to see who dares to storm the Qin residence!"

After saying that, Luo Qingyi walked out with a cold face.

Looking at Luo Qingyi, who had changed from her usual gentle and elegant demeanor, Jiang Ci couldn't help but secretly admire her.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyi has this side to her.

Soon, the three women arrived outside the mansion.

At this moment, a large number of Qin family guards had arrived at the gate.

However, those who ran to the Qin family's gate just sat to the side panting heavily and did not attack the Qin residence, so the guards did not make a move.

Just as Luo Qingyi was about to order someone to inquire about the intentions of these people, she saw Qin Yu and Qi Dachui riding towards the mansion.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qingyi's frost-like expression melted away, and she smiled as she said to Nan Que'er and Jiang Ci, "It seems this rascal has caused trouble again."

"Definitely!"

Nan Que'er nodded gently, a smile appearing on her face.

Watching the two women change their expressions faster than flipping through a book, Jiang Ci was once again secretly amazed.

Soon, Qin Yu and Qi Dachui rode up to them.

The two dismounted and handed the horses over to the servants of the mansion.

"What's going on here?"

Nan Que'er, puzzled, asked Qin Yu, "If you didn't know better, you'd think you were herding ducks!"

"Pretty much!"

Qin Yu laughed heartily, then smiled at the three women, "I have some things to attend to here, I'll explain in detail later!"

Upon hearing this, the three women didn't ask any more questions and stood aside to watch the show with peace of mind.

Half an hour has passed.

Unfortunately, even though Liu Shizhao and the others tried every possible method, they were unable to bring 80% of the people to Qin's residence within the time limit set by Qin Yu.

It's not that they didn't work hard enough, or that they didn't use their brains; it's just that there are too many weak and incompetent people who are simply impossible to lead.

Ultimately, only 60% of the people arrived at the Qin residence within the allotted time.

Faced with this result, everyone was dejected.

They really did their best!

Some people even fainted from exhaustion along the way, and many others vomited from running.

However, they still failed to achieve their goal.

All their wisdom and perseverance seemed to become a joke at this moment.

Right now, even if Qin Yu pointed at their noses and called them trash, they couldn't refute him.

Qin Yu stepped forward, looked up at the panting and dejected crowd, and asked, "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts?"

Faced with Qin Yu's question, everyone lowered their heads even further.

They failed, and now they can only endure Qin Yu's ridicule and sarcasm.

"You don't even dare to express your feelings?"

Qin Yu continued to provoke the crowd.

Liu Shizhao suddenly raised his head, his face full of defiance, and said, "If we were given another chance, we could definitely do it!"

They really did their best!

But they didn't do a good enough job!

If they had discovered the problem earlier, decided on their course of action sooner, and supported each other earlier, the outcome would have been completely different.

Qin Yu nodded slightly: "On that point, I believe you!"

"?"

A look of bewilderment crossed Liu Shizhao's face.

He had already prepared himself for Qin Yu's humiliation, but to his surprise, Qin Yu actually agreed with him.

"I believe that with this experience, you will definitely be able to do even better!"

Qin Yu abandoned his previous arrogance and contempt, and said seriously, "I can tell you clearly that I don't care how many of you can get here within the allotted time. I only care about what you did along the way and whether you adapted to the situation! Someone come and tell me why you suddenly made a change?"

Everyone remained silent, but secretly harbored doubts.

They had no idea what Qin Yu was planning to do.

Right now, they don't want to talk or make any pointless excuses.

They lost, and they admit it!

Even if Qin Yu pointed his finger at them and called them trash, they wouldn't argue back!

At this point, the more you try to explain yourself, the more contempt you will receive.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qin Yu directly called out Liu Shizhao, who had spoken earlier, and asked him to tell him why they had suddenly changed their minds.

Helpless, Liu Shizhao could only tell Qin Yu about the things they had discussed and the efforts they had made along the way.

Upon hearing Liu Shizhao's words, Qin Yu immediately smiled. "Not bad. Although it's a bit late, at least you knew how to adapt and didn't waste a lot of time on meaningless discussions!"

Hearing Qin Yu's words, more people looked up at him, their eyes filled with doubt.

Instead of being humiliated by Qin Yu, they were met with affirmation after failing to achieve their goal.

This is a bit different from what they imagined!

"Alright, I won't say anything more."

Qin Yu smiled, "Those I've pointed to, step forward!"

As Qin Yu spoke, he immediately began pointing at people, "You, yes, you! The tall one, and you too, stop lying there like a dead dog, get up right now! The tall one in the blue robe, you come out too..."

Qin Yu couldn't recall the names of these people, but he had observed the behavior of many of them along the way.

Besides Liu Shizhao, Hou Zhixing, and the other two leaders, Qin Yu also selected more than a dozen other people.

Most of these people were those who had carried others on their backs along the way.

Their physical strength was clearly better than that of Liu Shizhao and others.

But they willingly obeyed orders, without caring about the details or questioning whether it was fair or not.

A team needs leaders and decision-makers, and it also needs people like them!

After counting everyone, Qin Yu stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "From today onwards, you will all be by my side! You have no right to refuse. Only if I deem you unworthy to stay by my side will I dismiss you!"

Qin Yu's words completely extinguished any thought Liu Shizhao and the others might have had to refuse.

After a brief explanation, Qin Yu directly instructed Liu Shizhao: "I have a task for you: inquire about and record the details of the people I have pointed out, as well as those whom I ordered Xu Zhouke to select for me. Submit this to me before nightfall!"

"We need to find out everything, including their place of origin, family situation, and even how old they were when they started wetting the bed!"

"The more detailed the better!"

Liu Shizhao opened his mouth slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse.

However, meeting Qin Yu's unwavering gaze, he finally nodded slightly...
