Chapter 85 Rumors
Qi Xiuheng thought he had heard wrongly.
Destroy the Jin family? Did he not explain it clearly enough?
Otherwise, how could Xiaoyue's cousin have such an overconfident idea?
"Cousin," he said with difficulty, "the Jin family has been entrenched in Qingcheng for many years and controls the resources of both the black and white worlds. It is difficult to uproot such a huge monster."
Liu Jianan certainly knew that the Jin family was not easy to mess with, but now if he wanted to cancel the engagement with the Jin family, destroying the Jin family was the most direct way.
Since Qi Xiuheng said it wouldn't work, he could only think of other ways: "During this time, please help me collect some information about the Jin family. No matter what, I can't let Xiaoyue marry Jin Junda."
"Forget it, cousin." Qin Lingyue had already accepted her fate. "The Jin family is rich and powerful. It won't be a loss for Yue'er to marry into the family."
"It's fine if you're just lying to others," Liu Jianan said unhappily. "You're lying to your cousin. Do you think I'll believe it?"
Qi Xiuheng: "..."
It seemed that he was stupid to believe it.
The car arrived at the Yuehua Hotel. Qi Xiuheng asked for two rooms, one for Liu Jianan and one for Qin Lingyue.
"I'll go buy some food and come back. What do you want to eat, cousin?" Qi Xiuheng asked.
Liu Jianan had no dietary restrictions: "Ask Xiaoyue what she wants to eat first."
Qi Xiuheng said: "I remember all the food Xiaoyue likes."
Qin Lingyue's ears warmed up, and she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at him.
Liu Jianan saw that the two of them were closely connected, and it seemed that the task of this level was to make him pair up these two mouthless creatures.
"Stupid," he said with disdain, "People's preferences are not fixed. For example, if I like to eat braised pork in red sauce, do I have to eat it morning, noon and night?"
Qi Xiuheng subconsciously asked, "Then what should I buy?"
Liu Jianan pointed at Xiaoyue and said, "Let her choose for herself. Who wouldn't get tired of eating the same things all day long?"
Qin Lingyue said quickly, "Cousin, don't talk about it. Director Qi is busy. How can we bother him too much?"
"Not busy, there is always time to buy some food." Qi Xiuheng didn't give the other party a chance to refuse.
He said, "I'll go buy it now." He turned around and ran away.
Qin Lingyue looked at Qi Xiuheng's hurried back in a daze, and the love in her eyes was too obvious.
Liu Jianan pointed to the rest area next to him and said, "Cousin, can we talk about the details of why you agreed to marry Jin Junda now?"
They were alone, so it was not easy for them to be in the same room.
That's why he chose the hall as the place for the conversation.
The two sat down, and Qin Lingyue looked around a little uneasily.
Liu Jianan caught this detail: "If you really don't want to say it, just forget it."
Qin Lingyue lowered her head: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's really hard to say it."
"What's wrong with telling my cousin?" Liu Jianan promised, "You tell my cousin, I will never tell anyone else."
Under his persuasion, Qin Lingyue finally gave in.
But what she said almost made Liu Jianan suffer a cerebral hemorrhage.
It turned out that Jin Junda was not only unlearned, but also a bastard. He relied on the power of the Jin family to bully men and women and do all kinds of evil.
It happened that one day Jin Junda met Qin Lingyue who went to the city to meet Qi Xiuheng. He was so lustful that he took advantage of Qin Lingyue's return to the village and forced her.
Qin Lingyue's parents felt ashamed, and since the betrothal gift from the Jin family was generous, they forced their daughter to marry the rapist.
"How can this be possible!" Liu Jianan's fists were hardened, "How dare you marry such a man? He should go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn!"
Qin Lingyue wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Don't tell Qi Xiuheng about this. I don't want him to go against the Jin family for me. He has finally climbed to his current position, and he can't give up halfway."
Liu Jianan didn't think so. If a man can't even protect his own woman, what's the use of climbing to a higher position?
But since this is Qin Lingyue's wish, he will only choose to respect it.
However, in this Jin family, there is also Jin Junda who robbed women, and he doesn't intend to let him go.
"Tell me more about the Jin family." Liu Jianan said.
We have to find a breakthrough.
While talking, Qi Xiuheng came back in a hurry with a lot of food.
His subordinates were carrying large and small bags, and those who didn't know would think he went to the mall to buy goods.
The fragrance in the oil paper could be smelled from a distance.
Qi Xiuheng told the hotel waiter to set the dishes and put the food he bought on the table, and then invited the two to come and eat.
His eyes never left Qin Lingyue, so he could naturally see Qin Lingyue's red eyes.
"Xiaoyue, you..." He wanted to ask her why she was crying, but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips.
Yes, what qualifications does he have to ask this question now?
Seeing the two of them looking embarrassed, Liu Jianan rolled his eyes, and walked past them without looking at them, going straight to his favorite roast chicken.
This roast chicken from the Republic of China was really generous in portion, much larger than the fried chicken he had bought before.
He tore off a leg without hesitation, and the greasy gravy flowed on the tip of his tongue. Only then did he feel his heart, which had been driven to death by the two of them, start beating again.
A full meal.
Liu Jianan comfortably enjoyed the waiter's hand-wiping service. As expected of a high-end hotel, the service was really good.
Seeing that the two of them were full, Qi Xiuheng told Liu Jianan all the news he had heard.
Most of them were business information about the Jin family, such as who the Jin family was planning to cooperate with recently, and who the Jin family had added as a backer.
Liu Jianan raised his hand and said, "Stop, that's not what I want to hear."
From the perspective of business competition, he was penniless and could not shake the Jin family at all.
"Then what do you want to hear?" Qi Xiuheng asked puzzledly.
Liu Jianan smiled slightly, leaned forward and said, "What I want to hear is gossip, rumors, and tidbits."
Qi Xiuheng: "..."
"If you don't know how to investigate these, please help me hire a private detective." He thought Qi Xiuheng probably didn't understand these.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head: "No need, although I am not proficient in this, but my subordinates are proficient in this."
"Zhao Liangdong, Zhao Caicheng, you tell your cousin about the interesting things about the Jin family."
Oh, the Zhao brothers, meet again.
Liu Jianan looked at them meaningfully. In the previous level, these two bullied Chen Shu a lot.
Unexpectedly, in the end, they were still taken in by Chen Shu, no, Qi Xiuheng.
Zhao Liangdong thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Jin Junda got married today, but the bride ran away, and he was so angry that he threatened to destroy the Qin family."
Qin Lingyue was shocked: "Then my parents..."
"Your father and mother are fine," Zhao Liangdong comforted, "It is said that Jin Junda's father, Jin Xiao, personally brought Jin Junda back to the Jin family and locked him up for three months."
Liu Zhenan was surprised: "What did Jin Junda do wrong that his father would treat him like this?"
Zhao Liangdong didn't know either: "This..."
Zhao Caicheng smiled and said, "My brother doesn't know, but I do! I have a childhood friend who works for the Jin family."
Liu Zhenan urged: "Tell me quickly."
"I'll tell you something that will shock you," Zhao Caicheng said after keeping it a secret, "It is said that Jin Junda and Jin Xiao both fell in love with an actor in Qiushuilou, and they became enemies in order to compete for the actor."
Zhao Caicheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, cleared his throat and continued, "The most important thing is that the actor is a man!"
Liu Jianan: "Huh?"
