Chapter 173 Pretending to be Different

Once inside, he and Qin Ce locked eyes, and Jiang Wang was completely stunned.

Meeting Qin Ce's gaze, Jiang Wang swallowed hard.

"That's him, the kid. He just touched his wife, what's the big deal..."

Before Zhao Ming could finish speaking, Jiang Wang slapped him across the face with a sharp sound, leaving Zhao Ming stunned.

"Brother Wang, you dialed the wrong number." Zhao Ming covered his face, on the verge of tears.

"I'm wrong, you motherfucker!" Jiang Wang slapped him again in anger, then kicked him in the stomach.

Zhao Ming staggered two steps and fell onto the group of people. They supported him, all looking completely bewildered.

"Brother Wang, you..."

When someone asked what was going on, Jiang Wang simply pulled a wooden stick from the nearby garbage heap and threw it at the group of people.

"Shut up, stop yelling nonsense, I don't know you!"

The stick naturally struck Zhao Ming as well, causing him to howl in pain.

"Brother Wang, why are you hitting us? Didn't you come to help us?!"

The group didn't dare to hide, and could only raise their hands to cover their faces.

Jiang Wang was trembling with anger. He pointed at the group with his stick and demanded, "Who touched it? Did you?"

The person being pointed at shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, it wasn't me!"

"Is it you?" He pointed at Zhao Ming again.

Zhao Ming shook his head vigorously, "I didn't! Only Lao Lei touched it, none of us touched it!"

He made a few empty promises but didn't actually do anything.

Where's Lao Lei?

“Then…” Zhao Ming pointed to the side.

Sure enough, there was a person lying on the ground covered in blood, motionless, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

Jiang Wang walked over and kicked Lao Lei. Seeing that he didn't react, he ran back to Qin Ce's side and squatted down like a lackey.

"Hey, Brother Ce, I don't know them well. These bastards actually dared to touch my sister-in-law. Should I cripple their hands?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, staring wide-eyed at each other in disbelief.

Is this sycophantic guy really their Brother Wang?

They had no doubt that even if you put a tail on him, he would wag it.

When had they ever seen Jiang Wang be so humble to anyone? He wasn't even like that in front of Yang Han.

Could it be that this Qin Ce is really some extraordinary person?

"Brother Wangwang, who...who is he?"

Jiang Wang turned around and glared at Zhao Ming, "He's your father!"

"..."

Jiang Wang was somewhat unconvinced that he didn't know Qin Ce's identity before, but after Yang Han's explanation and his parents' explanation, he finally understood.

Money is a minor issue.

They have powerful backing. Old Master Qin has two brothers whose families are all military and political figures, and Qin Ce's maternal relatives are also prominent figures.

If Qin Ce were willing to acknowledge him after Jiang Wang found out, he wouldn't mind being Qin Ce's obedient son.

I'm sure his parents would agree...

But let's not get off topic. Qin Ce's current achievements are enough to crush these people.

How dare they!

"Since you've said so, then it's up to you." Qin Ce's voice pulled Jiang Wang back to reality, and Jiang Wang immediately resumed his sycophantic smile.

"Alright, I'll take care of this little thing. Don't tire your hands out, Brother Ce!"

Jiang Wang stood up and began to massage Qin Ce's shoulders and back with great enthusiasm, while shouting to the men he had brought with him, "Come on, cripple these idiots' hands!"

Everyone was shocked and begged for mercy, "Brother Wang, we didn't do anything! Why are you siding with outsiders? Who is this man?"

"Yeah, Lao Lei is still lying on the ground. Don't you even care about your own brother?"

Jiang Wang got angry when he heard what the group said. "Shut up! Who are your brothers? Brother Ce is my brother. He's my older brother. If you dare to offend my older brother, then you're going to oppose me. I'll beat you to death and that would be too lenient!"

"Old Lei is lying down right now, otherwise I would have just killed him!"

"What are you standing there for? Beat them! Beat them to death! If they die, it's on me!"

As soon as Jiang Wang gave the order, the thugs he brought no longer held back. They rushed forward and kicked several rich kids to the ground, beating and kicking them mercilessly.

It wasn't until the fist landed on them that they fully realized that this man didn't seem to be... putting on an act.

They've really messed with some really dangerous people.

But how could such an extraordinary person end up in such a poor place?

Seeing them get beaten, Jiang Wang smiled ingratiatingly at Qin Ce, "Brother Ce, if you beat them up, it's none of my business, okay? Was that enough force?"

Qin Ce glanced at him indifferently.

Suddenly, Qin Ce stood up. "Since these are all your men, then you can deal with them as you see fit."

Jiang Wang was taken aback. If it was left to him to handle, how would he handle it?

Are you really going to kill him?

Qin Ce naturally didn't give him an answer, and turned to leave with his men.

"Brother Wang, please forgive us, we know we were wrong..." Seeing Qin Ce about to leave, Zhao Ming quickly stepped forward and hugged Qin Ce's leg. "Brother Ce, Brother Ce, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please forgive me!"

Qin Ce glanced at him with his eyes down, and before he could say anything, someone kicked Zhao Ming's hand away.

Qin Ce walked out of the bungalow without looking back, got on an electric scooter parked by the roadside, and drove away.

While Zhao Ming was being beaten, he caught a glimpse of his electric scooter out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but think to himself that it was a joke.

That's fucking pretentious! This Qin Ce seems to be showing off in a different way.

Jiang Wang sat down in the chair Qin Ce had been sitting in, stroked his chin, and watched the group of people howling and wailing. He pondered how he could give Qin Ce an explanation without killing them.

...

Qiao Xing was still somewhat uneasy. She absentmindedly followed Wang Ye and the others to the hotel, and after picking up Lily, she got into the wedding car in a daze.

She didn't know if he had really gone back to sleep. All she wanted now was to finish the wedding quickly and go back to check if Qin Ce was really asleep.

After circling around a few times, the car drove back to the hotel.

After that came preparations for the wedding. The uncle was collecting the wedding gifts and writing down the guest list, while Wang Qin helped collect the money.

The wedding ceremony began promptly at noon.

Qiao Xing was finally able to sit down and catch her breath. She sat in her seat and waited for the wedding to begin.

She glanced at her phone every now and then, but nothing happened.

Since there were no groomsmen, Wang Ye just randomly picked two to make up the numbers, so Lily's bridesmaids naturally couldn't participate, saving a lot of steps.

Bai Yi and Lin Shuang arrived early as well, looking around as if they were searching for someone.

But I couldn't seem to find it, and I was too embarrassed to ask.

Lin Shuang patted Qiao Xing on the shoulder, "Qiao Xing, are you alone?"

Qiao Xing nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Shuang chuckled awkwardly, her eyes darting around as if searching for something.

Bai Yi rested her chin on her hand, absentmindedly playing with her phone. She scrolled through Jiang Wang's WeChat Moments until it was completely blank, but there was still no change.

Jiang Wangming clearly said he was coming, but for some reason he didn't show up.

Bai Yi guessed that he had probably overslept in one of his girlfriends' beds again and forgotten to get up.

After thinking it over, she called Jiang Wang.

The call connected quickly, and Jiang Wang's irritable voice came from the other end, "Are you crazy? Why are you calling now!"

Bai Yi pretended not to hear him and said, "Weren't you supposed to be here for the wedding? The wedding is about to start."

Jiang Wang said irritably, "Attend my ass wedding, your mother's in trouble!"

He cursed and hung up the phone before Bai Yi could say anything.

Qiao Xing also opened Qin Ce's WeChat and sent him a message asking if he had woken up, but he did not reply.

While she was still lost in her own thoughts, the room suddenly erupted in an uproar.

Qiao Xing subconsciously looked up and was utterly shocked when she saw the stage.
