Chapter 348: Teasing Qin Wu

With a thought, Qin Wu didn’t hesitate; without waiting for Ling Chen to back away, she closed in and swung her palm toward Ling Chen’s right shoulder.

Ha! This woman still wants to exchange a few moves with me.

Ling Chen secretly smiled, showing no sign of retreat. He clenched his fist, raised it slightly, and met Qin Wu’s palm head-on. When fist met palm, their Inner Strength erupted, causing them each to take a step back.

Feeling the numbness in his arm, Ling Chen looked at Qin Wu in surprise. One really shouldn’t underestimate this woman; her Inner Strength was almost as strong as Jiang Yunkai’s.

Interesting!

Ling Chen’s mouth curved up slightly, a shallow smile on his face, as he beckoned to Qin Wu with a gesture of his hand, taunting, "Come on, again!"

Qin Wu bit her thin lips lightly, her toes tapping on the ground, moving swiftly as a breeze, closing in on Ling Chen. However, just as Qin Wu was about to strike, she was surprised to find that Ling Chen had disappeared without a trace.

"Looking for me?"

While startled, Ling Chen’s teasing laugh suddenly came from behind her. Qin Wu was shocked, and without thinking, she turned and struck out with her palm. But the moment she turned around, there was no sign of Ling Chen.

Where is he?

"Hey, I’m right here."

A large hand reached out and lightly patted Qin Wu’s shoulder.

With her quick reflexes, Qin Wu immediately reacted, swinging a high kick sideways. Ling Chen stepped back, dodging Qin Wu’s leg. At the same time, his eyes brightened, and he looked at Qin Wu with a smile, saying, "So Miss Qin likes the color purple."

"What?"

Qin Wu was slightly startled, not catching on immediately. Once she saw the teasing smile on Ling Chen’s lips, she instantly understood, and her pretty face, originally lightly powdered, blushed bright red.

The onlookers were puzzled. Why did her face turn red during the fight?

The others might not know, but Ling Chen was well aware. All the women at tonight’s banquet were wearing evening dresses, mainly gowns. Just now, when Qin Wu lifted her leg, she accidentally revealed what was beneath her dress. Because it happened so fast, others didn’t see clearly, but Ling Chen saw it vividly.

The white, bare thighs, and the purple panties, tsk tsk. They say women who like to wear dark-colored undergarments belong to the implicit yet lustful type. Unexpectedly, despite Qin Wu’s sweet appearance and graceful temperament, she also seems to be a woman with internal desires.

"Miss Qin, do you still want to continue?" Ling Chen grinned.

Qin Wu bit her silver teeth, her eyes filled with embarrassed anger as she stared at Ling Chen. After a while, her expression flickered, and then she turned, pulling her elder brother with her as they left the crowd.

Without more spectacle, the onlookers dispersed.

"Well done," Su Lin said with a giggle. Ling Chen had avenged her, making her feel satisfied.

Ling Chen withdrew his gaze from Qin Wu’s retreating figure and reminded, "Stay away from that Qin Wu in the future."

"Why? After all, she’s no match for you."

Ling Chen did not give any further explanation. Although Qin Wu was not his match, this did not mean she was not formidable. On the contrary, Qin Wu was a master; her being toyed with earlier was mainly due to her lack of actual combat experience.

It was evident from their exchange that Qin Wu had at least over ten years of foundational training in martial arts, but she had always practiced routines and never engaged in real combat, hence her lack of experience and inability to make accurate responses and predictions.

If Qin Wu were given some time to temper herself, her strength would definitely not be inferior to Jiang Yunkai.

Ling Chen was curious about the background of this woman; despite her young age, she possessed such exceptional combat skills, surely a disciple of a distinguished master.

While Ling Chen was pondering, on the other end of the banquet hall, Qin Yang sat on a sofa in a corner, pressing a hot towel to his swollen cheek, seething with resentment, "Sister, we must not let that Ling Chen and that cheap woman Su Lin get away with this."

Qin Wu glanced at her inept brother, her tone ice-cold, "Who asked you to provoke them?"

Qin Yang hurriedly replied, "I was thinking of our Qin Family’s interests."

The Qin Family had recently faced some economic crises, with business going poorly and suffering heavy financial losses. Were it not for using real estate as collateral to borrow over a billion from the bank, it would have been very difficult for the Qin Family to survive. Hence, Qin Yang had set his sights on Su Lin. He was well aware that Su Lin came from a notable background; her parents were overseas businessmen with assets worth at least tens of billions. If he could rekindle the relationship with Su Lin and turn cooked rice into a done deal, not only could it ease the Qin Family’s financial strain, but they could also ride on the coattails of the Nanrong Family. At that time, the glory of the Qin Family would be within reach.

However, Qin Yang had not expected Su Lin to be so cold-hearted, not giving him any chances.

Qin Wu shook her head slightly, not wishing to speak further. She had never had much hope for her brother. If the Qin Family’s future was left in Qin Yang’s hands, it would be tantamount to ruin. As a member of the Qin Family, she could not let this happen.

"Sister, didn’t you say that your senior brothers were coming to East Sea City tonight? Maybe..."

"My sect’s people are not the Qin Family’s thugs, don’t get any ideas."

"Sister, you can’t say that. Think about it, you are also part of the Qin Family. Ling Chen and Su Lin slapping my face is like slapping the Qin Family’s face. If we don’t settle this score, how can our Qin Family hold our heads high in front of others? Moreover, Grandfather is quite old now. If he learns about tonight’s incident, he would surely be furious. We can only explain to him after we’ve settled this matter."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu fell into deep thought, wondering. After a while, she stood up and said, "Don’t worry about this; I will handle it." After speaking, Qin Wu turned and walked into the crowd.

Watching his departing sister, Qin Yang’s lips curled with a sneer. He understood his sister very well. By saying those words, it meant she had accepted his suggestion.

Humph! Ling Chen, Su Lin, just you wait and see; there will be suffering coming your way.

At this moment, after completing her mingling with the guests, Nanrong Wanqing rejoined Ling Chen and Su Lin, and seeing Ling Chen chomping on an apple, she shot him an irritated look and chided, "In just a blink of an eye, you’ve managed to cause trouble, quite the feat."

Ling Chen spread his hands, looking innocent as he said, "How can you blame me? It was that Qin guy who came looking for trouble with Lin. Do you expect me to just stand by?"

"You still should be mindful of the impression you make. So many people are watching."

"What’s there to be afraid of? I am the man of the Hongyu Group’s chairman, who dares to touch me?"

Nanrong Wanqing felt a blush creeping up, and with a small fist, she lightly punched Ling Chen, her tone both annoyed and embarrassed, "Why do you say such things so loudly?"

Su Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, "Ling Chen, you really have a knack for it, proud even of mooching off a woman, probably the only one in the world."

"That’s right. Do you think just anyone qualifies to enjoy such a cushy life?" Ling Chen boasted proudly.
