Qingning didn't say it explicitly, but everyone who witnessed the whole thing knew who "he" was.
"I almost forgot... Well, that's definitely how it should be."
Wu Qi'en let out a deep breath. Right now, all he wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible; his mind was completely blank.
Let alone just asking him to apologize to Xia Che, Wu Qi'en would do anything, no matter how outrageous, without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, Xia Che."
Wu Qi'en bowed slightly to Xia Che and solemnly apologized.
This person, whom Xia Che considered to be both praised and criticized, had a very upright attitude when he did something wrong and then stood up straight to take the punishment, leaving no room for criticism.
Without waiting for Xia Che to react, Wu Qi'en turned and left, his steps quick and decisive.
Seeing Wu Qi'en leave, his friends suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly left their seats to follow him.
Their own brother made such a huge fool of himself, yet they had no reason to seek revenge.
after all……
What Wu Qi'en did was indeed not very honorable.
Even if they wanted to protect their own, they had no authority to do so.
Moreover, Qing Ning looks quite frightening right now... If it really came down to a fight, they really wouldn't have the courage to declare war on the demon.
Let's run...
Birds of a feather flock together.
Qing Ning glanced at them coldly, snorted, and made no attempt to hide her disgust for them.
Then, she turned around, her beautiful eyes seemingly falling on Xia Che, causing Xia Che's heart to clench and him to shudder.
"that……"
Seeing that everyone else had finished their cleanup and that it was likely his turn next, Xia Che was sweating profusely, racking his brains for a way to change the subject.
to be honest.
The sudden appearance of Qing Ning was indeed unexpected for Xia Che.
Thinking about it carefully, what I did was indeed quite awful.
No wonder Qing Ning was so angry.
Therefore, no matter how angry Qing Ning gets at him, Xia Che believes that he should bear it.
But she didn't.
It wasn't there before, and it's not there now.
Qingning glanced at him indifferently, then brushed past him.
Xia Che was stunned.
Qing Ning passed by quickly, so quickly that Xia Che couldn't even see the expression on her face clearly.
When she finally realized what was happening and turned around, Qing Ning had already reached the door. Without turning her head, she said indifferently, "You guys keep playing, I'm going out for some fresh air."
This was meant for other friends.
After saying that, he left without looking back, following Wu Qi'en and the others.
All of this happened so fast that Xia Che didn't even have a chance to say a word.
"...Are you already disappointed?"
Xia Che let out a long sigh, his fingers tracing patterns on the table.
He suddenly recalled the task the system had issued the moment his soul transmigrated into his body:
[Only by helping the five female protagonists escape their misery, recognize the scumbag men they've betrayed, and sever all emotional ties can the host return to the real world.]
"If that's the case... isn't it a bit too early for Qingning to be completely disappointed in me? Li Junyang hasn't been exposed yet, and I'm not even close enough to be good friends with Qingning. If Li Junyang takes advantage of this situation, wouldn't it just be... a replay of the birthday party in the original comic?"
Xia Che was startled.
Lime drank quite a bit of the fruit wine earlier.
The current plot development seems so much like the original story.
His gaze swept across the room and landed on Li Junyang, who was not far away, chatting and laughing with Mu Yingying while holding a wine glass, seemingly engrossed in their conversation.
I breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seems it was only somewhat similar, and I hadn't actually entered that scene.
But the shock he had just experienced served as a wake-up call for Xia Che. Without further hesitation, he got up and chased after Qing Ning in the direction she had left.
This gesture suddenly brought a sense of relief to Xia Che, a feeling hidden deep within his heart.
Xia Che knew that it was the residual consciousness left in his body by the original owner.
Before Qing Ning appeared, the original owner's residual consciousness had never appeared, which shows how important this person was to the original owner.
Perhaps, my current actions are exactly what the original owner wanted to see?
For the first time, Xia Che made a decision that aligned with the original owner's thoughts.
But no matter what, even if things come to an end and Qingning still has to part ways with him, it certainly won't be now.
Just like the decision Xia Che made immediately after his soul transmigrated into this world...
He will not give Li Junyang, that scumbag, another chance.
...
In a small alley not far from Lishi Quyuan, the Xing family action team, having received the news, was making preparations for the operation.
The incident happened suddenly. Li Junyang's major discovery of the eldest son of the Xia family shocked Xing Zhicheng.
Especially after receiving Xia Che's photo from Li Junyang, Xing Zhicheng called over the leader of Group R. The two compared the photos and were shocked to find that this was the same blond-haired kid they had found at the venue who possessed the sapphire that had been stolen from their Xing family!
Although Wen Chenlu disrupted things at the time, Group R did not leave empty-handed. At the very least, they were able to mobilize the Four-Colored Roses to take action, which is enough to prove that this kid's identity is very likely the only heir of the Xia family left in Jiang City.
Therefore, after comparing them, Xing Zhicheng had no more doubts.
He's not stupid, and he certainly doesn't believe in coincidences.
In his heart, Xia Che is now undoubtedly the last remaining heir of the Xia family.
The eldest son of the Xia family who was left behind in Jiang City...
It's definitely Xia Che!
Tonight is the best chance to catch Xia Che.
As long as he could catch him, given that he had only been in Jiang City for a short time and had already accomplished the great feat of catching the eldest son of the Xia family, Xing Zhicheng felt that he no longer needed to be the third master of the Xing family.
He wants to be the patriarch of the Xing family!
The real head of the Xing family!
Without bothering to recall the other two action teams still searching for "Tears of Atlantis" in Jiang City, Xing Zhicheng waved his hand and mobilized all the personnel in the last action team, Group R, which remained at the Jiang City headquarters.
To launch a surprise attack, you can't wait until everyone is in position.
Time is money, and Xing Zhicheng knew this principle well. If he didn't seize this opportunity, it would probably be a long time before he could find any more clues about Xia Che.
This time, he personally led the team, determined to take down that mysterious young master of the Xia family in one fell swoop!
"Everyone, take your positions. Don't forget what I told you: you must capture him alive, and you can't even hurt him. I need him for a great purpose!"
Xing Zhicheng stood at the front of the line, looking at the fully equipped and lined-up team before him, his face serious.
"yes!"
Xing Zhicheng was met with soaring morale and unwavering confidence.
"Set off!"
Xing Zhicheng waved his hand dismissively, no longer bothering with further delay.
