"No need. It's just a small matter. No one was killed. What's the big deal? I believe it will be easily forgiven."

He looked at the man behind him with a half-smile.

The man was trembling all over, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"In that case... I'll go home first. I'll tell Brother Zhang later."

When talking about Brother Zhang, the handsome middle-aged man's eyes showed a hint of enthusiasm and excitement, and he laughed quickly, "No, no, it's my honor to be able to help the Third Master. How can I really expect the Third Master to remember my favor? That's too formal...hahaha..."

The more you emphasize what you don't want, the more you want it.

Qin Jinnian knew everything, so he smiled and said, "I still want it. This time I owe Brother Yang a favor. We still have a long time to go, and we'll see each other in the future."

"Brother Qin is open-minded, no wonder the Third Master favors him!...Okay, then I won't say anything else. By the way, does Brother Qin have any suggestions for the follow-up treatment of these people?"

Qin Jinnian had already thought it through, and said calmly: "This matter ends here with me. The woman's account is settled. If her man is willing, the matter is over. If not... it's up to him. I will continue no matter how he plays."

He paused for a moment, then continued calmly, "But next time, it won't be such a small fight. Let's see if he can handle it."

"Yes, yes! Let's just put an end to it. Let's just put an end to it! Also, we will never call the police, never call the police!"

When the man heard this, he immediately shouted out in fear.

Qin Jinnian looked at him and finally nodded: "That's better."

These idle young men might have been called by this man, but his behavior from beginning to end did not make Qin Jinnian too disgusted... As for grabbing his father's hand...

What's the big deal? Dad is not my sister.

Can I still lose two pounds? I have to pamper my sister, and I have to fight my dad if she really bullies me. But there is no need to make a big deal out of this trivial dispute between men.

Especially after the other party's subsequent performance, Qin Jinnian felt that he was still a calm person.

He immediately ignored him, chatted with the middle-aged man surnamed Yang for a few more words, and then left the school with Qin Xiaomian and Qin Taiping...

Naturally, the middle-aged man named Yang will be responsible for handling the follow-up.

…

…

There were only three of them, father and son, on the road, but no one spoke.

Qin Taiping was still in shock, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He turned his head to look in the direction of the school from time to time, and looked at his son blankly from time to time, but no matter what, he could not connect the boy in front of him with his son.

Qin Xiaomian was also a little confused, her mind was blank, and she subconsciously held her brother's arm and moved forward mechanically...

Everything that happened today had undoubtedly had a huge impact on her.

Whether facing the "cruelty" or "terror" of those people in society, it had a huge impact on her.

It turns out that not everyone will unconditionally forgive her recklessness. If people really pursue it, it will bring endless troubles to her family...

But the impact of all these was not as great as the impact her brother brought to her today!

After being scolded by her parents last night, she went upstairs in panic and anxiety, wanting to find someone to rely on. When she reached the third floor, she looked towards her brother's room... Although her brother was often bullied at school, he loved her very much since she was a child. She subconsciously wanted to get comfort from her brother.

But the cold room and her brother's character made the reality pour like a bucket of cold water on her head... She knew that she didn't have a brother to rely on after all.

But she never expected that today, when she was most panicked and desperate, her brother appeared by her side in a way she had never dared to imagine even in her dreams before.

The sentence 'My sister caused trouble, and as her brother, I have to take responsibility for it' almost made her burst into tears on the spot!

And the last sentence, 'At least for me, my sister's innocence cannot be violated', made her want to burst into tears right there and then... God knows how much pain she felt when she heard that woman say that she was a prostitute outside? The grievance and anger were like a needle piercing her heart.

Dad got so angry that he lost his mind and swung his fist at the woman.

But Dad's counterattack was so weak that it was easily stopped. She also rushed forward angrily and pushed the man... But the other party didn't even move.

For the first time, she felt a sense of powerlessness... and realized that resistance required not only courage... but also strength.

Just when I was in this panic and didn't know what situation I would face, my brother appeared.

He was like a ray of light at dawn, sweeping away the "enemies" that stood in her and her father's way like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves! It was also the first time she knew that to solve a problem, one didn't need to be hysterical or fierce, or to be crazy and shout loudly... Being calm and peaceful, calm and reasonable like her brother could also make the other party lose their composure and change color...

She felt that she admired her brother a little bit.

At that moment, her brother was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen!

She was surrounded by an unprecedented sense of security.

As for her brother's subsequent cruelty...to be honest, she didn't feel too scared.

Although the bloody scene scared her a bit at the time...but when she thought that her brother was standing up for her, she was not scared at all. Instead, she was full of pride! She was not a child without protection.

She has a brother!

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaomian hugged Qin Jinnian's arm tightly and buried her head in his arm.

Her brother's arms, which seemed a little thin when she hugged them, felt extremely strong and powerful to her.

Qin Jinnian felt his arm being tightly embraced. He turned his head and saw Qin Xiaomian burying her whole face in his arm. He immediately smiled and touched her head: "Okay, okay, it's okay. I'm here. Just think twice before doing anything in the future, okay?"

He thought the other party was afraid.

Qin Xiaomian didn't answer, but just nodded, holding his arm without letting go.

Qin Jinnian smiled and didn't take it seriously.

And just like that, the three of them arrived home.

The shop was open, but Xia Panlan had already been like an ant on a hot stove in the house. When the father and his two sons arrived, she noticed them immediately and stood up quickly: "What happened...Xiao Nian? Xiao Nian, why are you back?"

Just after saying three words, he saw the young man walking in front of him with Qin Xiaomian hugging his arm tightly.

I can only say that she is worthy of being a mother. Although Qin Jinnian has changed a lot due to his external vitality, Xia Panlan still recognized him at the first sight.

She was surprised at first, then a trace of worry appeared on her face, and finally she became shocked: "Xiao, Xiaonian, you, you..."

The mother's worry was vividly expressed in her emotional change in just a few seconds.

"Hey, have you become more handsome? A bit like my mom now?"

Qin Jinnian spoke with a smile. He walked over and naturally held Xia Panlan's arm.

Such a performance obviously made Xia Panlan dumbfounded... Is this her son who couldn't answer a single question when asked dozens of questions? This, this...

She was obviously a little confused.

But her son's intimate embrace made her overjoyed, and she subconsciously replied, "Yes, yes..."

After saying this, she looked dazedly at her husband who was following behind her and was obviously distracted.

"Old Qin, this..."

Qin Taiping came back to his senses after hearing Xia Panlan's voice. He moved his mouth and finally sighed: "Let's talk about it after we go in..."

He looked at his son with complicated eyes.

How could it not be complicated? Today, his son was the one who took the lead throughout the whole process... It was conceivable how irritating this was to the old father.

"Go in, go in..."

Xia Panlan was also a little confused and could only speak subconsciously.

Then, the family of four entered the house.

Qin Taiping walked at the end, thought for a moment, turned around and closed the door.

…

…

In the living room on the second floor.

Xia Panlan, Qin Taiping, and Qin Xiaomian were all staring at Qin Jinnian, who was sitting on the sofa and pouring himself a glass of water contentedly.

Xia Panlan looked at her son, whose changes had been so dramatic, and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Qin Xiaomian looked at Qin Jinnian with bright eyes, shook her head and said nothing.

Qin Taiping's mouth moved for a moment, but he couldn't help but asked, "Xiao Nian, what on earth is going on?"

Xia Panlan finally reacted after hearing this and quickly asked Qin Taiping: "By the way, how did Xiao Mian's matter end? Yes, is the other party willing to reconcile?"

She had been waiting for news the whole morning. She was so shocked by her son's return just now, but when she came to her senses, she naturally asked first.

Seeing his wife's worried expression, Qin Taiping smiled bitterly: "You should ask your son about this...Is it considered a reconciliation?"

He said uncertainly.

Not only because everything today was beyond his imagination, in fact, now he was a little worried... What if the other party called the police? For Qin Taiping, who had been honest all his life, alerting the police would be a big deal.

Moreover, his son instructed others to hurt people, and even used tortures such as pulling out tongues and digging out eyes, which he had never dared to think of before...

What would happen if the police were called?

When he thought of this, he became a little anxious.

"Xiao Nian, is it really okay?"

"Dad, don't worry... If there really is a problem, would I come back with you? Besides... I just went in there and said a few words today. I didn't do anything else. Why did the police want me?"

Qin Jinnian laughed and asked back.

"Ah, yes, is that so?" Qin Taiping's brain was a little slow now, and for a moment he actually believed it, but he was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, let's just leave it at that... I know you two have a lot of questions now, so please sit down first and I'll talk to you slowly."

Qin Jinnian asked his family to sit down.

Xia Panlan was still confused and didn't know what was going on. But seeing the reactions of her husband and son, she could only be patient and sit down first.

Qin Jinnian took another sip of water, then looked at Xia Panlan and said, "Mom, if there is anything happening at home in the future, you must tell me the first time. If I hadn't come over to take a look last night, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened at home... Are you still planning to hide it from me?"

"I, this, this is not..." Xia Panlan suddenly didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth and sighed dejectedly.

Qin Jinnian knew what she meant... Obviously in his mother's view, even if he told him about this, it would be useless and would only make him worry for no reason, so she simply didn't say anything.

This is what being a parent is all about. You have to bear all the pressure and endure all the hardships yourself... and then do your best to provide a good life for your children.

"I know what you're thinking, but...your son is different now. You can tell me if there's anything going on at home. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be able to handle it for your son."

After thinking for a while, Qin Jinnian said something big.

This made both parents' eyes widen.

Obviously a little confused.

So Qin Jinnian smiled gently and said, "Because now, your son...is a superpower."

"Superpower...?"

The three of them were stunned at first, but slowly, their eyes widened...

…

…

When Qin Jinnian confessed to his family, what happened at school today had already been known to many people through various channels.

"Too arrogant, even daring to do that in school..."

At the Night Watch headquarters, Jiang Yetong's first reaction upon hearing the news was shock. Then he frowned with an unpleasant expression: "It seems that Qin Jinnian is not as harmless as he appears to be!"

"Have you found out who was the one who did it?"

She asked Lin Xiaoqi beside her.

"It's not hard to find out. It was a group called 'Yang Guang Group' on Tianxin Road that did it... The chairman, Yang Guang, is a fifth-level super warrior. He personally led people to Tianxin No. 1 Middle School today. The ones who did it were the super warrior security guards from the Sunshine Group."

"Yangguang Group?" Jiang Yetong looked puzzled: "What is the relationship between Yangguang and Qin Jinnian?"

"On the surface, there is no relationship. But last night, Qin Jinnian had a phone call with her mother and took a taxi to Tianxin Road. At around 8 o'clock in the evening, she entered Yang Guang Group... Yang Guang personally received her."

"He's alone?"

"one person."

Lin Xiaoqi nodded, and then said: "We didn't find any records of Yang Guang's personal phone, but we found that 'Zhang San' made a call in the center of Canglan City at that time... I don't know if it is related."

"You mean... Zhang San called Yang Guang and asked him to receive Qin Jinnian... and help Qin Jinnian do this?"

"It's very possible."

Lin Xiaoqi nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Now 'Zhang San' is already one of the most famous superpowers in Canglan City. And because he acts very recklessly, many super warriors outside the Iron Dome have come into contact with him... Even when some super warrior teams were in danger, they were saved by 'Zhang San'... Therefore, his reputation among those super warriors outside the Iron Dome is quite good."

"Humph, buying people's hearts!"

Jiang Yetong couldn't help but snorted coldly when he heard this, but then he frowned.

"What did the Tianxin police say?"

"The police said that they did receive a report, but they ran into a traffic jam when they were on their way to the school. By the time they arrived at the school, the incident was over. They found the victim immediately, but the victim said that the injuries on their bodies were caused by accident and had nothing to do with others... and the school's surveillance cameras were all destroyed at that time..."

"...That's really a coincidence!" Jiang Yetong gritted his teeth: "For such a small matter, you made such a big fuss? You are really unscrupulous... Can't you catch him?"

"Catch who?"

Lin Xiaoqi shrugged helplessly: "Qin Jinnian did nothing at school. The one who did it was someone from Yangguang Group. Now the victim insists that he hurt himself, and there is no surveillance video... Who can we arrest?"

"Besides..."

At this point, Lin Xiaoqi paused: "Qin Jinnian is a superpower. With the special nature of superpowers... the other party has touched the superpower's family. No matter how Qin Jinnian retaliates, it is tacitly approved by the higher-ups... This... Sister Tong, you should know, right?"

Jiang Yetong was speechless for a while.

Of course she knew the rules. As the backbone of humanity, how could super-powered people have no privileges at all?

Not saying it clearly was just to prevent the general public from having a large-scale "unfair discussion". But in fact... how could one deal with a superpower because of such a thing? The reason why Jiang Yetong was angry was not because of Qin Jinnian... but because of "Zhang San".

After the previous incidents, she had no good feelings towards "Zhang San" in her heart.

Now I suspect that 'Zhang San' might be a member of the Abyss race!

And Qin Jinnian happened to have close contact with 'Zhang San', and he might even be the new Pope of the Abyss Church...

How could she not pay attention to this? After a long while, she snorted coldly, "Has No. 5 Middle School also received the news? What did Mr. Wang say?"

"Mr. Wang didn't say anything." Lin Xiaoqi said calmly, "He only said that Qin Jinnian was his student, and a rare empowered superpower, a future pillar of the country. Someone targeted the superpower's family, and an accident happened... There's nothing worth saying. Not to mention that he was just injured... Even if he died, he deserved it."

Jiang Yetong was stunned for a long while before he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn old war lunatic!... Forget it, forget it, I don't care anymore, do whatever you want!"

She left the office angrily.

Lin Xiaoqi sighed helplessly... He knew what Jiang Yetong wanted to do.

It's nothing more than trying to find Zhang San's weak spot.

In fact, there are many people in the Night Watch who think this way.

But... starting from Qin Jinnian is obviously not a good direction...

After all, he is no longer an ordinary high school student. He is a rare empowerment-type superpower.

It even seemed to have attracted the attention of a group of old war lunatics...
