Qin Zheng naturally knew who he wanted to see, so why would he let him have his way?

"If it's about the profit of the garment factory, Uncle, and you don't mind, I can talk to you about it."

"You want to talk?"

Xu Jiashen laughed heartily, his expression one of disdain and contempt. "If the information I had investigated is correct, you're just a lowly manager in a construction company, someone who gets ahead by pulling strings with Gu's nephew and coasting along."

"Your wife helped Chen Zhenxing establish the garment factory from scratch. She drew the blueprints, negotiated the deals, and even found a way to bring the factory's employees back. You didn't do any of that, so what right do you have to talk to me?"

Qin Zheng remained unfazed. "Because I'm her man, I won't let her see you."

"Ha! What a joke! You can't just replace a man like that. Today you're her man, but tomorrow, if I want to, I can be her man!"

Qin Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold and stern.

Xu Jiashen slammed his fist on the table, showing no mercy, and said, "Nephew Qin, you should know that this garment factory is the only profitable business for me in Jinqiao County. I rely on it to support me in my old age. Your wife has cut off my source of income. If you don't come and talk to me properly, don't expect to let this go!"

"Then what do you want?"

"Bring your wife here!" Xu Jiashen sneered. "Talented people are for my use; those who are not, I'd rather eliminate!"

Qin Zheng's expression also turned icy cold. "So, Uncle Three doesn't want to have a proper talk?"

"It's because you're not cooperating."

Xu Jiashen leaned back lazily in his chair, holding a teacup in his hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

His lip had been slashed, and although it had healed, a deep scar remained. When he smiled, half of his face was distorted, his eyes were crooked, and his mouth was slanted. Combined with his bald head marked with a monk's seal, he looked particularly sinister in the flickering, dim candlelight.

He was making it clear that if he couldn't see Ye Yun, he wouldn't be able to take the Chen man away.

Alright, Qin Zheng didn't waste any more words.

"Then don't blame us for being impolite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng threw a punch at the bodyguard blocking his way, sending the man staggering back two meters before he fell to the ground.

Gu Jin, standing beside him, kicked away the person rushing up from the side like lightning, heading straight for Chen Zhenxing.

"This is outrageous!"

Xu Jiashen was furious that Qin Zheng would act so impulsively, daring to make a move on his turf. He was so angry that his eyes were bulging and his mouth was contorted, and his hand holding the teacup was trembling uncontrollably.

"How dare you cause trouble on my turf! In front of the Buddha, I'll kill you two brats, or I'm not a Xu!"

"Hide that guy surnamed Chen in the back and beat him up. If he dies, it's on me!"

Qin Zheng became even angrier upon hearing this.

How can there be such arrogant people after so many years of the founding of the People's Republic of China? They have no respect for the law!

Since the other party doesn't respect the law, they don't need to be polite either. Qin Zheng's punches became heavier and heavier, and he and Gu Jin could send the other party flying with a single punch.

Bodyguards kept rushing towards them, wielding batons.

There were men who were already guarding the lobby, and others who kept rushing in from outside. This shows that Xu Jiashen had raised a lot of henchmen at Zhongxing Tower, while Qin Zheng only had two men. Even if they fought in shifts, they could still beat them to a pulp.

Xu Jiashen leisurely sipped his tea, his disdainful gaze sweeping through the crowd as he watched Qin Zheng and Gu Jin being entangled.

He took a sip of tea and arrogantly shouted, "Well done! Well done! What do you think I, your third uncle, have been doing with all these people? Do you think I didn't make any preparations when I invited you here? I can wear you down!"

"By locking you two up with that Chen guy, we have another bargaining chip to use against Ye Yun. Thank you both for coming to our doorstep!"

Bang!

No sooner had he finished speaking arrogantly than a bodyguard was kicked into the tea table in front of him, knocking over the teapot and splashing scalding tea all over him.

Just moments ago, Qin Zheng was entangled with someone, but he charged towards him like a tiger. As Qin Zheng's eyes widened, Qin Zheng's large hand suddenly gripped his neck.

Xu Jiashen wanted to raise his hand to retaliate.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his wrist as a pair of cold handcuffs landed on it. Qin Zheng used a counter-grappling technique to handcuff his hands behind his back, instantly suppressing all his fighting ability.

"The one surnamed Qin!"

Xu Jiashen was pressed down on the tea-splattered table by Qin Zheng, his forehead veins throbbing, and his bloodshot eyes filled with intense hatred and anger.

Before he could even react, Qin Zheng had already broken through the encirclement and subdued him.

Since he returned to the mainland, no one under his command has ever been so humiliated.

Damn it, he really underestimated Qin Zheng!

"Stop your men."

Qin Zheng said coldly.

"Gu Jin, take Chen Zhenxing with you, let's go!"

...

At the pastry shop, Liu Wan paced anxiously back and forth.

Tian Xiaohui, who was with her two children, was already sleepy and kept nodding off. The way Liu was leading her made her even more dizzy. She complained, "Can you please stop walking? Secretary Liu, I'm already sleepy enough. You're making me dizzy!"

Liu Wan was already anxious, and upon hearing this, her tone immediately became more resentful:

"Tian Xiaohui, Captain Qin and Factory Director Chen's fate is unknown, and Manager Gu is also inside. Don't you like Manager Gu? Aren't you worried about him at all? How can you sleep!"

Tian Xiaohui rolled her eyes.

She believed that Gu Jin and Qin Zheng were capable of handling this kind of thing. One was the eldest brother of the Lin family, whom she had always felt was a source of security, and the other was a man she had high hopes for. What was she worried about?

If we can talk things out properly, then we should talk things out properly. If we can't talk things out properly, then we should do it, and do it until the other party is convinced!

Tian Xiaohui wasn't very knowledgeable, but she had some understanding of Qin Zheng's temperament. She didn't know how dangerous Xu Jiashen was, but her ignorance led her to blindly and unconditionally believe that Qin Zheng could handle the matter safely tonight.
