"That's right, hand over Qin Yiheng."

"If it weren't for him, how could the Chu family have ended up in this situation? It's ridiculous that they still think of asking him for help."

“My company has also encountered a similar situation. The safest course of action is to hand over Qin Yiheng.”

"The matter started because of him, so it should naturally end with him."

Before Liu Wanxia could even respond after Chu Ruoxue finished speaking, members of the Chu family arrived one after another, each one furious and indignant.

“These days, the winds of change can shift in an instant. How can we really turn against Qin Yiheng just because they say something about him? What would that make our Chu family? Even if Qin Yiheng really doesn’t amount to anything, we can’t do that!” Chu Ruoxue found it hard to understand.

Her words were ambiguous. On the surface, she seemed to be defending Qin Yiheng, but upon closer inspection, she also seemed dissatisfied with Qin Yiheng's inaction.

"Ruoxue, you're wrong about that. If Qin Yiheng really wants to help our Chu family, he should step forward now, sacrifice himself, and save all of us." Liu Wanxia's attitude became aggressive again.

"Impossible. What makes you think that handing over Qin Yiheng will make things better for the Chu family? What if the situation remains unchanged? Handing over Qin Yiheng would mean that the Chu family is afraid, and they will only become more aggressive then."

Chu Ruoxue's words hit the nail on the head, and many people began to hesitate again.

However, the lives of outsiders ultimately belong to outsiders.

“I think the truth is this: regardless of whether the Chu family can quell the situation after handing over Qin Yiheng, at least the public has seen the attitude of our Chu family. Even if we are still attacked, the situation will not be worse than it is now, so what is there to fear?” Chu Wei stepped forward and timely pulled the crowd back from their thoughts.

He realized that Chu Ruoxue wasn't as protective of Qin Yiheng as he had imagined.

In an instant, everyone in the Chu family felt that it made a lot of sense and echoed it.

Chu Ruoxue looked at these people's faces, her expression full of conflict.

"So, according to you, Qin Yiheng is doomed to die?" Her voice trembled slightly.

The more Chu Ruoxue tries to protect Qin Yiheng, the more disappointed the Chu family will be.

"Patriarch, now that things have come to this, please say something," Chu Wei approached Chu Xiao.

"Ruoxue is still young and wants too much. She has to choose between the Chu family and Qin Yiheng!"

The implication was that Chu Ruoxue was not suitable to manage the Chu family.

At times like these, no one thinks that this wasn't originally a choice between two options.

Chu Xiao was already feeling overwhelmed just listening to their back-and-forth conversation. He knew he was bound to be asked questions, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

“This…” Chu Xiao clenched his fist.

He was caught in a dilemma.

Both Elder Chu and Chu Ruoxue clearly wanted to protect Qin Yiheng. He also felt that it was inappropriate to sacrifice one person for an uncertain outcome, but as the head of the family, he had to consider the opinions of most people.

He was in a real dilemma, so he looked at Chu Ruoxue.

"Patriarch, are you really going to listen to your own daughter?" Chu Wei's voice was low and gloomy, carrying an ambiguous meaning.

The Chu family members are now practically frightened birds; they overthink things at the slightest disturbance.

“Master, you have to say something and make a decision at a time like this.”

"That's right. The Chu family's current situation is what it is. Even if we were to trust Qin Yiheng, what has he done? Has he made things better for the Chu family?"

"That's right, this is the last day. Three days isn't a long time, but it's not a short time either. Surely he hasn't done nothing?"

"We shouldn't have trusted him in the first place. Wasn't it all because we trusted the Chu family? Patriarch, things have come to this point, we can't wait any longer..."

This was exactly the effect Chu Wei wanted. They weren't very optimistic about Chu Xiao to begin with, but since the old man was still around and Chu Ruoxue didn't usually have any major problems, no one could find fault with her or anything to criticize. Besides, everyone has their own issues, so they just let it go.

But when a problem arises, it becomes clear who is capable and who is not.

Because everyone had gathered around Chu Xiao, Chu Ruoxue was left out in the cold. She took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Yiheng when no one was looking.

Almost simultaneously, Qin Yiheng's voice rang out from the doorway.

"You said it was the last day, but it's not time yet!"

His leisurely voice made people's teeth itch. The Chu family members turned around and glared at him angrily.

"Qin Yiheng!"

Upon seeing him, Liu Wanxia felt her blood boil and, gritting her teeth, rushed forward to slap Qin Yiheng.

"It's all because of you—ahhh—"

Qin Yiheng pinched her fingertips. The point of force was so small that an ordinary person's hand would have slipped and the fingers would have come apart. But Qin Yiheng used some kind of force, and Liu Wanxia felt like her whole hand was going to be ruined. She screamed and her whole body twisted in agony.

"I don't hit old women." Qin Yiheng tossed her aside.

Liu Wanxia took two steps back and slumped onto the sofa, her chest tight with anger, her face turning green.

Old woman?

I've never seen such an impolite and arrogant person!

Liu Wanxia turned to look at Chu Wei, signaling to him with her eyes, "What should we do?"

Chu Wei narrowed his eyes, tilted his head towards Qin Yiheng, and gestured for Liu Wanxia to continue.

Liu Wanxia immediately pointed at Qin Yiheng and started cursing again: "You bastard! How dare you show your face here? But you've come at the right time. Now you should apologize in public, get out of the Chu family, and get out of Yuzhou!"

Excitement always gets others involved, and the Chu family members joined in the shouting.

"Get out of the Chu family, get out of Yuzhou!"

"Get out of the Chu family, get out of Yuzhou..."

Despite the loud slogans, Qin Yiheng didn't even budge.

After shouting for a while, they gave up.

"You want to hand me over just to give the Chu family some peace. What if I told you I already have a plan?" Qin Yiheng spoke only after they had all fallen silent, which gave him the upper hand in some ways.

But at this point, no one analyzed it carefully. Chu Wei frowned, his eyes filled with disdain, yet he dared not truly disbelieve it.

"Then tell me, what method have you come up with?" someone shouted.

Just when everyone thought Qin Yiheng would give a long speech or present something, Qin Yiheng fell silent again.

Such silence is irritating and makes you want to hit someone.

"Don't be fooled by him, everyone. He's just stalling for time. Since he won't leave on his own, let's all beat him until he does..."

Liu Wanxia casually picked up an ornament from the coffee table and threw it directly at Qin Yiheng.
