Chapter 30, Master Long, outside... outside is...
"Mr. Yan, your woman is truly devoted to you, daring to venture into a den of dragons and tigers even knowing it."
Seeing this, Long San burst into laughter, slapping his thigh hard.
His gaze swept greedily over Wen Hanyun, as if he were examining an object.
"Tsk tsk tsk, she is pretty, but she's a bit stupid and doesn't understand your good intentions."
Then, he noticed Qin Ling following behind Wen Hanyun.
Seeing the young girl wearing a cheongsam, with a shapely figure and delicate features, looking no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, he sneered disdainfully.
"What, Miss Wen brought a little follower with her?"
"What a pity. If we can't close this deal today, both beauties will have to stay with me."
At this moment, there was nothing Wen Hanyun didn't understand; she felt somewhat regretful for falling into Long San's trap.
But thinking of Qin Ling behind her, she felt more confident and stepped forward. "Long San, don't you think it's shameful to use such underhanded methods to do business?"
"Miss Wen, you are a treasure in Mr. Yan's eyes, but what are you to me? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Long San's face instantly darkened. He stood up, his size more than twice that of Wen Hanyun.
Yan Sheng immediately stood up, wanting to pull Wen Hanyun over, but was blocked by several bodyguards. He could only warn, "Long San, we can discuss the land you want, but don't touch her!"
"Hehe, Mr. Yan, have you ever heard the saying, 'Once this village is gone, this shop will be gone forever'?"
Just then, Qin Ling, who had been silent behind Wen Hanyun, suddenly moved.
She stood in front of Wen Hanyun, raised her chin, and looked at Long San with icy eyes: "Who are you to question her identity?"
Long San was taken aback by her sudden aura and looked Qin Ling up and down again.
Seeing that she was young and dressed plainly, he assumed she was Wen Hanyun's younger sister or a student and didn't take her seriously. He waved his hand and said, "Where did this little brat come from, daring to put on airs with me?"
Who are you talking about?
Upon hearing this, Qin Ling immediately became furious.
His delicate features instantly turned fierce, and his small body stood up straight.
She took off a necklace from her neck, with a jade pendant the size of a thumb hanging from the end of the chain. The front was engraved with a powerful "Qin" character, and the back had a lifelike coiled dragon pattern. Under the light, it shone with a lustrous sheen and was clearly of superior quality.
"Open your eyes wide and take a good look at what this is."
Qin Ling held up the jade pendant, almost touching it to Long San's eyes.
"How did you get the Qin family's token?"
"Heh, so what if I have it?" Long San's expression changed as soon as his gaze fell on the token, and then he sneered, "If you were a member of the Qin family, why would you stir up this mess for someone you have no connection with?"
In his opinion, it was probably one of Qin's young masters' mistresses who stole the token and came here to show off.
After saying that, Long San gave a wink, signaling the men in black behind him to take control of the group.
"Aren't you afraid of going too far, Long San?" Qin Ling looked around warily, suppressing her anger, and firmly protected Wen Hanyun behind her. "Long San, if you stop now, I might spare your life. Otherwise, when my grandfather comes, you won't be able to kneel and cry!"
What's wrong with Long San? Does he not believe her identity, or does he really not take the Qin family seriously?
"Waiting for your grandpa to come?" Looking at Qin Ling, who was being forced to retreat step by step, Long San laughed arrogantly, "Come on, come on, you can come. Even your great-grandpa will have to call me 'Grandpa' when he comes!"
"Boom—"
Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the office was flung open with a deafening crash, followed by an overwhelming aura that swept in instantly.
A dozen or so bodyguards in black filed in, each with a tall and sharp posture. They quickly subdued Long San's men, while the others surrounded him tightly.
Long San had never suffered such humiliation in his own territory before. He cursed angrily, "Damn it, how do you guys guard this place? Whose men are these?!"
"Master Long, outside... outside is... it's..."
Huang Mao seemed to have been kicked from behind and fell down next to Long Sanjiao. Before he could answer Long Sanjiao's question, he was interrupted.
"Tell me, who should call you 'Grandpa'?"
An elderly man dressed in a dark blue Tang suit walked in slowly, holding a dragon-headed cane in his hand. With each step, the "thump-thump" sound of the cane hitting the ground seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present.
"Buddha...Buddha?" Long San recognized the person and quickly lowered his eyes. "Why have you come!"
Having escaped the threat, Yan Sheng quickly rushed to Wen Hanyun's side and pulled her into his arms, asking, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Qin Ling looked at the two of them being all lovey-dovey, pouted, ran to Buddha's side, and familiarly took his arm.
She glanced at Long San with disdain, then parted her red lips slightly and called out a title that Long San would never forget in his life: "Grandpa, you've finally come!"
Long San's legs went weak instantly, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.
His face turned ashen, and his previous arrogance vanished instantly, leaving only a deep-seated fear.
"Master, it's a misunderstanding!"
The Buddha still had that smiling face, but his words made Long San feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"A misunderstanding? You had your people threaten and kidnap Miss Wen, and that's a misunderstanding?"
"Believe me," Long San said, cold sweat pouring down his face. He straightened up and faced the Buddha. "Buddha, I'm kneeling before you. This is truly a misunderstanding!"
"What, I, Qin Long, can't accept your kneeling, Master Long?"
The Buddha paused on the word "Master," which startled Long San, who hurriedly kowtowed.
He knew he had offended the Buddha with his wild words, and now whatever he said was wrong, so he simply stopped talking and started kowtowing, banging his head against the floor.
He thought that the token was at most a thing for the young master of the Qin family to please women, but he never expected that the seemingly ordinary little girl was actually the Buddha's granddaughter!
Furthermore, they were able to persuade Empress Dowager Qin to personally come out of seclusion...
Just who exactly is Wen Hanyun?
Long San dared not look up at the Buddha's face, nor did he dare to look at Wen Hanyun. He could only obediently lower his head and minimize his presence.
Qin Ling released Buddha's hand and walked up to Long San with a smile.
"Your grandfather gave you a chance to eat back then, and now you dare to stand above the Qin family?"
"Long San, you dare to call yourself 'Master'? I think you should just call yourself 'Mistress' from now on?"
"No! I absolutely wouldn't dare!" Long San quickly shook his head. "I was just talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously!"
"Mr. Yan, Ms. Wen, Miss Qin, the mistress apologizes to you!"
