Su Hongchuan's swift and decisive actions immediately stunned the entire audience.

After dealing with the Wang family, he turned around, his sharp eyes slowly sweeping over the Qin Xuecheng couple who were slumped on the ground.

When Qin Xuecheng and his wife met his gaze, they trembled with fear, almost losing their souls.

Su Hongchuan did not immediately lash out, but instead turned to Ye An again, his attitude so respectful it was unsettling.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think should be done about the Qin family?"

With a single sentence, Ye An handed over the power to decide the fate of the Qin family.

"No!"

Lin Hui could no longer hold back and completely broke down. She scrambled forward, only to be stopped by the Su family's bodyguards.

Through the wall of people, she cried out vehemently to Ye An:

"Ye An! No, Mr. Ye! We were blind to your greatness! We looked down on you! Please, have mercy on us! We know we were wrong, we really know we were wrong!"

Qin Xuecheng also realized what was happening, and he scrambled to his knees a few steps, desperately kowtowing in Ye An's direction.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Mr. Ye, it's all my fault! I was blinded by greed, I was short-sighted! I'm not human!"

"In that case... please, for Ruoxue's sake, spare the Qin family's life!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled at Qin Ruoxue, who was standing next to him.

Qin Ruoxue stood there, her body stiff, her face deathly pale.

She stared at the utterly absurd scene before her.

The parents, who had been bossing her around and treating her like a commodity just moments before, were now kneeling before the man they despised, begging for forgiveness like two wagging dogs.

How ironic.

All the guests held their breath, watching this farce unfold, not daring to utter a sound.

They all wanted to know how this mysterious young man would deal with the Qin family.

Is it like crushing Wang Tianlong, mercilessly pushing the Qin family into the abyss as well?

still is……

Ye An's gaze swept over Qin Xuecheng and his wife without lingering for a moment, finally settling on Qin Ruoxue's complex face.

He was silent for a moment.

Just as Qin Xuecheng and his wife's hearts sank to the bottom, Ye An finally spoke, his voice still calm.

"never mind."

Two simple words, yet they felt like a pardon to Qin Xuecheng and his wife.

Su Hongchuan was somewhat surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions and simply waited quietly for what would happen next.

Ye An continued, "Old Master Qin had a past relationship with my master, which is why they arranged the marriage. Today, for his sake, let's leave it at that."

"I believe that my master would not have wanted to see the Qin family end up like this."

Qin Xuecheng suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

He's actually willing to let us go?

Su Hongchuan, a seasoned veteran, had his pupils shrink when he heard the word "master"!

To be able to train someone with skills like Ye An, capable of crippling an external martial arts practitioner with a flick of the finger, what kind of extraordinary figures must his sect possess?!

A startling guess instantly formed in Su Hongchuan's mind!

Could it be... those legendary people?

Thinking of this, Su Hongchuan broke out in a cold sweat, and his posture toward Ye An became even more respectful.

He dared not ask too many questions here, as there were too many people around.

Some things are not for ordinary people to hear.

"Mr. Ye, this is not the place to talk. Why don't you come back to the manor with me for a chat?" Su Hongchuan gestured for him to enter.

Ye An nodded; he hadn't planned to stay here long anyway.

Su Wanqing stepped forward and stood naturally next to Ye An, saying softly, "Let's go."

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Ye An and the Su family grandfather and grandson walked towards the door, surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black.

Wherever he went, the crowd automatically parted to make way, and everyone unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

As the three were about to leave the banquet hall, the guests, who were still in shock, finally came to their senses.

"Let's go! We've had too much gossip tonight, my heart can't take it if we stay any longer!"

"The Wang family is finished! The Qin family isn't dead, but they've been severely weakened! The landscape of Jiangcheng is about to change!"

"Who is that young man? He's terrifying! I have to go back and tell my family that they must avoid him from now on!"

The guests scattered like birds and beasts, as if ghosts were chasing them, afraid of being dragged into this turmoil.

The once grand banquet hall was now reduced to a mess of broken cups and plates, shattered tables and chairs, and a distraught Qin family of three.

"Phew...that scared me to death, that scared me to death..."

Lin Hui slumped to the ground, patting her chest, looking relieved to have survived a disaster.

"It's finally over. Luckily, that kid remembered our past friendship, otherwise our Qin family..."

"past?"

Qin Xuecheng got up from the ground, stared blankly at the empty banquet hall, and gave a bitter laugh.

"You think this is over? This is just the beginning!"

Lin Hui asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? Didn't he say he wouldn't pursue the matter?"

"He didn't pursue the matter!" Qin Xuecheng's voice trembled. "But who were people present tonight? The wealthiest businessmen and celebrities of Jiangcheng!"

"They all saw it with their own eyes! How our Qin family treated our benefactors, the Su family, and how we knelt down and begged for mercy like dogs!"

"Starting tomorrow—no, starting tonight! Our Qin family will become the laughingstock of the entire Jiangcheng!"

"Who would dare to cooperate with us? Who would respect the Qin family? Our business... is completely finished!"

"No, we have to have Father plead with Ye An on my behalf. That's the only way..."

Qin Xuecheng's face was ashen, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

The Su family doesn't need to lift a finger; the reputation they've built up today is enough to make it impossible for the Qin family to move an inch in Jiangcheng, and they'll slowly rot away.

Listening to her father's desperate roars and her mother's unwilling curses, Qin Ruoxue felt only an overwhelming sense of annoyance.

Her gaze followed the direction Ye An had left.

In his mind, the scene of Su Wanqing naturally taking him away kept replaying.

That woman, so stunningly beautiful that even she felt inferior, looked at Ye An with such genuine light in her eyes.

Ye An, from beginning to end, didn't give her even a second glance.

It turns out, it wasn't him, a toad, trying to eat swan meat.

Instead, she, like a frog at the bottom of a well, mistook a real dragon for a mudfish.

A world of difference?

Yes, it's truly a world of difference.

Ironically, she was the one who was in the mud.

……

As night deepened, the Rolls-Royce Phantom smoothly drove into a sprawling estate.

The Su family manor was brightly lit.

In the living room, the valuable mahogany furniture exuded a faint fragrance, and Su Hongchuan personally brewed a pot of top-grade pre-Qingming Longjing tea for Ye An.

"Mr. Ye, please have some tea."

Su Wanqing sat opposite Ye An, her usual aura as an icy female CEO completely gone.

A blush still lingered on her cheeks. Occasionally, she would glance quickly at Ye An, then immediately lower her head like a startled fawn, fiddling with her fingers.

To say those words in front of so many people in the banquet hall was the boldest thing she had ever done in her life.

Su Hongchuan picked up his teacup, gently blew on the steam, and his eyes blazed with fervor as he got straight to the point.

"Mr. Ye, what I said at the banquet before was from the bottom of my heart."

He put down his teacup, his expression solemn.

"If you are willing to marry Wanqing from our family, everything in the Su family will be yours in the future."

"Moreover, this will be of immense benefit to Wanqing's health! Doctor Li said that only by harmonizing Yin and Yang can Wanqing's cold ailment be completely cured!"
