He started to want to beg for mercy and say something conciliatory.

But where could Wang Tianlong put his face in front of so many people?

He gritted his teeth, forced himself to speak, and squeezed out a single word.

"So what if it's confirmed?"

Click!

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the deathly silent banquet hall.

It was announced almost simultaneously with Wang Tianlong's word "fixed".

Wang Tianlong's expression froze.

His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief and endless regret.

Ye An released his hand.

Wang Tianlong's body slumped down like a lump of mud, his neck twisted at an odd angle.

died.

"Heavenly Dragon!!!"

Qin Xuecheng and Lin Hui let out two piercing screams that sounded like they weren't human. They were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.

The others in the banquet hall were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, their faces ashen.

"hiss--!"

Throughout the hall, there were gasps of shock.

Those celebrities and tycoons who usually wield great influence in Jiangcheng were now silent as if they had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.

Wang Tianlong!

That's Wang Tianlong from the Wang family!

The young master Wang, who used to swagger around Jiangcheng, just like that... died?

To have your throat crushed so casually in front of everyone?

Not even the slightest ripple was stirred up.

"ah--!"

A scream shattered the silence.

It's Lin Hui.

She turned pale with fright, her legs went weak, and if Qin Xuecheng hadn't caught her quickly, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Qin Xuecheng's complexion wasn't much better than hers; fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and even the way he adjusted his glasses became stiff.

It’s over.

That was the only thought in his mind.

That's not the plan! The plan is to have Wang Tianlong thoroughly humiliate this arrogant brat, make him the laughingstock of the entire Jiangcheng, and force him to slink away from Jiangcheng with his tail between his legs!

How did it turn into murder?

How could he dare to kill someone?!

Qin Ruoxue's mind went blank, and all she could hear was a buzzing sound.

She stared blankly at Ye An, the man she had scorned as a piece of trash just yesterday.

Didn't Father say that Wang Tianlong was a master of ancient martial arts?

Ancient martial arts master...

He was just slapped and sent flying?

Then he was twisted to death like a chicken's neck?

She felt her worldview was completely overturned at that moment, and fear swept over her, leaving her feeling cold all over.

The few followers who came with Wang Tianlong finally snapped out of their utter shock.

One of the burly men, who was leading the group, pointed at Ye An, his voice trembling with anger and fear.

"You...you killed someone! You killed Young Master Wang! You're dead! Not even the Heavenly King himself can save you! And the Qin family...the Wang family will never let you get away with this!"

Another attendant had already shakily pulled out his phone, ready to make a call.

Qin Xuecheng jolted awake and suddenly came to his senses.

What he fears most now is that the Wang family will hold his Qin family accountable for this!

After all, the person died at his banquet, and this murderer was nominally his betrothed to the Qin family!

Lin Hui lowered her voice, her tone filled with panic and resentment:

"It's all your fault! What a terrible idea! Now look what's happened, this idiot accidentally killed Wang Tianlong! If the Wang family takes their anger out on us, we're all finished!"

"How...how was I supposed to know he would dare to kill someone!" Qin Xuecheng was filled with remorse.

Amidst this chaos, Ye An acted as if nothing had happened.

He even had the leisure to pick up a clean napkin from a nearby unaffected table and slowly wipe the hand that had just choked Wang Tianlong's neck.

It was as if it were something dirty.

He didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, but instead turned his gaze to the Wang family follower who was shouting the loudest.

"Noisy."

Those two simple words instantly choked the burly man's next words.

He couldn't see a trace of panic or fear on Ye An's face, only a calm indifference to everything.

It was this calmness that sent a chill down his spine.

Just as tensions were running high in the banquet hall, reaching a breaking point.

An aged yet powerful voice, like a resounding bell, boomed in from the doorway.

"The Wang family? The Wang family is barely able to protect itself, yet they still want to harm the benefactors of my Su family?"

That sound!

In the banquet hall, everyone froze, turning to look towards the entrance.

Qin Xuecheng was even more shocked. This voice... anyone with a bit of status in Jiangcheng would recognize it!

A group of bodyguards in black escorted a sprightly old man dressed in a Tang suit as he strode in.

Behind the old man followed a graceful young woman with stunning beauty, none other than Su Wanqing.

"Su...Su Hongchuan?!"

"Good heavens, it's Old Master Su! What's he doing here?"

"Look next to him! Holy crap, am I seeing things? That's Su Wanqing! The real number one beauty in Jiangcheng!"

"She's so beautiful, her aura is like a fairy descended from heaven... Am I dreaming?"

"However, what does Su Hongchuan mean by saying... the Wang family is in dire straits?"

"A benefactor? Could it be that the Qin family actually did the Su family a favor?!"

A collective gasp of astonishment erupted from the crowd.

If the Qin family is a second-rate aristocratic family in Jiangcheng, then the Wang family is a first-rate family, a local power.

The Su family is undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse, a formidable force crossing the river!

It's a true behemoth!

The Qin and Wang families are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Su family!

Su Hongchuan's appearance instantly changed the atmosphere of the entire banquet hall.

When the Wang family's followers saw Su Hongchuan, they were like mice seeing a cat. Their arrogance vanished instantly, and they all fell silent, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Qin Xuecheng and Lin Hui, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly and obsequiously went to greet them:

"Elder Su, what brings you to the Qin family!"

However, Su Hongchuan completely ignored them.

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, he walked straight through the crowd and stood before Ye An.

"Wanqing, is it him?"

Su Wanqing nodded gently.

Could they know each other? Qin Ruoxue, standing to the side, was filled with surprise and doubt, and couldn't help but look at Su Wanqing, secretly comparing herself to her.

Among the younger generation in Jiangcheng, who doesn't know the name Su Wanqing?

She is not only beautiful and wealthy, but also the goddess that countless young talents dream of.

Even though Qin Ruoxue usually considered herself extraordinary, she couldn't help but feel ashamed when she stood in front of Su Wanqing—this was not due to the difference in appearance or figure, but rather the vast difference in their social status.

Looking at Ye An standing with the Qin family, Su Hongchuan was unsure of what was going on.

He dared not be careless, abandoning his usual arrogant demeanor, and looked at Qin Xuecheng with a gentle attitude:

"You must be Chairman Qin. May I ask what this young man's relationship is with your Qin family?"
