Secretary Zheng, with his shifty eyes, uttered these words.

Chen Zhongheng grinned, as if he had seen a gold mine.

Next, the shifty-eyed Secretary Zheng instructed Chen Zhongheng to exaggerate the situation to scare Qin Wu, saying that he should say his family and company were broke and that their cash flow had dried up.

The two discussed the matter and the bodyguard returned with his men.

Secretary Zheng gave Chen Zhongheng a look, indicating that the cooperation was pleasant.

However, the person the bodyguard brought in was not Qin Wu, but a young man, leaving the shifty-eyed Secretary Zheng dumbfounded.

"Where's Qin Wu? Why didn't you bring Qin Wu with you?" Secretary Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.

“I was the one who attacked Chen Youtong, so naturally you brought me here,” Ling Ziqian said.

The cooperation plan failed before it could even be implemented, leaving the shifty-eyed Secretary Zheng speechless.

Chen Zhongheng glanced at Ling Ziqian and noticed that the clothes Ling Ziqian was wearing cost no more than a few hundred yuan in total.

It was obvious at a glance that he wasn't from a wealthy family. He frowned and asked, "Who are you, and what's your relationship with Qin Wu?"

Ling Ziqian introduced himself, "Qin Wu is my friend. She treated me to dinner, and then I hit Chen Youtong. It's that simple."

Ling Ziqian took the responsibility upon himself, after all, Qin Wu's home was in this city, and it would be a bad thing if she were resented.

"You mean, this has nothing to do with Qin Wu, and you take full responsibility?" Chen Zhongheng looked at Ling Ziqian expressionlessly.

“That’s right.” Ling Ziqian nodded.

"I demand 100 million in compensation. Can you afford it?"

"I can't afford it."

Ling Ziqian's crisp and decisive answer left Chen Zhongheng quite frustrated.

His face darkened. "If you can't afford it, then send Qin Wu over. I'll settle the score with her!"

Ling Ziqian's face was full of stubbornness. "It seems that Mr. Chen wants to settle this matter privately. Since it involves compensation, I think we should call the police and let them assess how much compensation I should pay."

Chen Zhongheng was very unhappy and didn't want to talk to Ling Ziqian anymore. He wanted to teach Ling Ziqian a lesson.

Looking at the bodyguard, the bodyguard shook his head slightly, looking troubled.

The bodyguard's expression indicated that Ling Ziqian was untouchable. (The group doctor was suffering from intestinal bleeding.)

He was dressed in cheap clothes, so he couldn't possibly have any connections. In other words, he must be very skilled in martial arts.

Chen Zhongheng looked at Secretary Zheng and handed Ling Ziqian over to him. The two were currently in a cooperative relationship!

"Qin Wu is really something, making a child take the blame for her mistake." As she spoke, Secretary Zheng took out her phone and called Qin Wu.

"Who are you?" Ling Ziqian asked curiously. Judging from the words of the weasel-faced man, he seemed to be very familiar with Qin Wu.

Secretary Zheng did not answer Ling Ziqian's question; he had already dialed Qin Wu's number.

"Qin Wu, where are you? Hurry up and come to President Chen's house! You've done something wrong, come to President Chen and apologize right now, otherwise President Chen will suppress your family's company, and then you'll be in big trouble!"

Hearing this, Ling Ziqian became puzzled.

That weasel-faced man must be from Qin Wu's family.

I just admitted that I was the murderer, but that shifty-eyed attitude showed he didn't believe me at all and wanted Qin Wu to take responsibility for this.

If that shifty-eyed man truly cared for Qin Wu and the company, his normal reaction would have been to shirk responsibility for Qin Wu and firmly believe he was the murderer, thus preventing President Chen from having any reason to suppress Qin Wu's family's company.

However, his attitude made it seem as if he was on the enemy's side.

Secretary Zheng, with his shifty eyes, started yelling about losing money, saying that if Qin Wu didn't come over soon, President Chen would fire Ling Ziqian.

Secretary Zheng, being a secretary, has some insight. He noticed that Ling Ziqian's righteousness in coming over clearly indicates a close relationship with Qin Wu, so he used Ling Ziqian to threaten Qin Wu.

After being yelled at by Qin Wu, Secretary Zheng hung up the phone and laughed triumphantly.

The icy Qin Wu was furious, which was a good sign, indicating that she cared a lot about Ling Ziqian.

It was only then that he realized Ling Ziqian had been watching him the whole time.

Ling Ziqian took out his phone, dialed Qin Wu's number, and asked who the weasel-faced man was.

"He's a secretary at my parents' company, a distant relative. He's in charge of a lot of things at the company, but he doesn't seem like a good person. Ziqian, wait for me, I'll be right there!"

“No need to come over.” Ling Ziqian stopped Qin Wu. “I can tell that the shifty-eyed guy is in cahoots with Chen Youtong’s father. They want you to come up with 100 million.”

Upon hearing Ling Ziqian say such a thing, Secretary Zheng, with his shifty-eyed appearance, was utterly dumbfounded.

His heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had underestimated Ling Ziqian, a high school student.

Ling Ziqian was still on the phone with Qin Wu. "Sister Wu, now that things have come to this, shouldn't you tell me some things I don't know?"

Qin Wu sighed, "In short, it's all about money. I inherited a large sum of money, and my family wants to get it out of me. They keep arranging blind dates and marriages for me. But actually, all the men I'm going on blind dates with are people they're controlling."

Qin Wu didn't explain much; she became dejected.

Ling Ziqian understood. He told Qin Wu not to come over, as he could handle the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Ziqian laughed. The reason he came to this city was to help Qin Wu solve her troubles.

Qin Wu was unwilling to talk about it, but unexpectedly, because of a conflict over a meal, things escalated to this point, and in the end, I learned about the trouble Qin Wu was in!

Now, Secretary Zheng, with his shifty eyes, represents the Qin family. Instead of standing on Qin Wu's side, he's actually siding with their enemy!

They had conspired together. Chen Youtong's father demanded a staggering 100 million yuan, and it's estimated that the Qin family would get 50 million yuan of that!

They really are in cahoots, colluding with outsiders to try and swindle their daughter for money!

Ling Ziqian didn't know why Qin Wu was so attached to that home. At this moment, he desperately wanted to take her away!

Leave that home, leave this city, sever all ties, and never contact them again!

Ling Ziqian was filled with anger!

Chen Youtong is a bad person, and his father is no better. I felt a little guilty before and wanted to come and apologize.

But I never expected things to turn out this way. Chen Youtong has already done it, so what?

And Secretary Zheng betrayed Qin Wu on behalf of Qin Wu's parents!

If I can't beat up Qin Wu's parents, then I'll teach them a lesson!

Stepping forward, Ling Ziqian grabbed Secretary Zheng by the collar and punched him several times, leaving him sprawled on the ground, teeth chattering.

Ling Ziqian didn't bother with any more words and turned to leave.

Chen Zhongheng frowned and waved for his bodyguards to stop Ling Ziqian, but Ling Ziqian's fists were hard and no one could stop him!

Episode 41: He's My Boyfriend

Chapter 321 If I tell you, you'll hate me!

With his unparalleled flirting skills, Ling Ziqian successfully left the mansion.

Ling Ziqian hailed a taxi on the street and returned to the hotel.

Upon entering the family suite, Qin Wu strode over and nervously sized up Ling Ziqian.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Ling Ziqian was alright.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian return, Cupid Sauce, having completed her mission of protecting Qin Wu, gave Ling Ziqian a smile that seemed to say, "You two should get along well," before entering the bedroom.

That girl has a kind of precocious air about her, Ling Ziqian smiled helplessly.

"Are you tired? Thirsty? Hungry?" Qin Wu pushed Ling Ziqian to sit on the sofa, brought him a cup of tea, and reached out to massage his shoulders to help him relax.

Ling Ziqian looked at Qin Wu, whose face was full of concern, like a wife looking at her husband who had just come home from get off work.

Smiling and shaking his head, Ling Ziqian indicated that he was neither tired nor hungry.

He took a sip of tea, checked the time, and saw it was eight o'clock in the evening, neither too early nor too late.

"Sister Wu, aren't you going back?" Ling Ziqian asked.

"Go back where?" Qin Wu asked curiously.

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "Go back to your house!"

“My home is in the capital, you’ve been there before, and you’re my brother, so home is wherever you are!” Qin Wu said with a smile.

“Then…” Ling Ziqian grabbed Qin Wu’s hand that was massaging his shoulder and looked at her seriously, “Since that’s not your home, let’s leave together tomorrow.”

Qin Wu was stunned for a moment. She smiled brightly, "Little man, are you going to take me away and elope with me?"

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. Couldn't this guy be serious for once? She's smart; there's no way she wouldn't understand what he meant.

He was about to say something when Qin Wu reached out and covered his mouth.

“I know that Secretary Zheng, acting on my parents’ orders, colluded with Chen Youtong’s father to try and get me to hand over a large sum of money. Perhaps you feel that parents like that don’t deserve to be parents, and that it’s better to leave, right?”

Ling Ziqian nodded.

"But Ziqian, do you remember what I said to you that night in the capital?"

"I asked you if Xiaomei was happy, but it turns out I was the most unhappy one!"

At this point, Qin Wu became somewhat saddened and her mood turned somber.

Ling Ziqian's heart skipped a beat. Recalling that incident, she suddenly understood what kind of person Qin Wu was.

She was a school principal, but she didn't like that job at all.

She could have resigned and left at any time, but she didn't. The people who imprisoned her in the principal's position weren't herself, but her parents, and their expectations of her!

As an outsider, he acted decisively, saying he would sever ties and take her away.

But she wants to leave her parents who gave her life. No matter how wrong her parents are or how bad their attitude is, they are still her parents. There is always an emotion that cannot be explained or severed!

Ling Ziqian looked at Qin Wu apologetically.

My attempt to take her away only deepened her suffering.

Qin Wu chuckled and changed the subject, "You really want to know about Ning Xian'er, don't you?"

Ling Ziqian was taken aback, not expecting Qin Wu to suddenly bring up Ning Xian'er.

Before Ling Ziqian could answer, Qin Wu took out her phone, opened a photo and showed it to him, "A few days ago, her aunt sent me this photo, saying that they were very happy together."

In the photo, Ning Xian'er is wearing thick clothes and looks as bulky as a penguin.
