"The arrival of Leader Jinlong brings great honor to our humble Zuo family."
Old Man Zuo put on a professional fake smile, "I wonder what brings you here?"
Qi Yan smiled knowingly: "You 'invited' my wife, so naturally I'm here to take her home."
He emphasized the word "please," and the worldly-wise Old Man Zuo immediately recognized it.
He turned around and looked at Zuo Huiye with suspicion. How many people did that kid invite while he was away? Qi Yan's arrival didn't seem friendly.
However, he still brushed it off, since the He family heir was here anyway, and he wasn't afraid of making things difficult for Qi Yan.
Old Man Zuo looked puzzled: "Who is your wife?"
Qi Yan wasn't in a hurry, "Xu Youyou"
Everyone except Old Man Zuo pretended not to hear.
Dou Shiliu, on the other hand, calmly sipped his tea.
Zi Qingyan blushed and whispered, "You...there's something right in front of you..."
Dou Shiliu said calmly, "It's cold."
Looking at the tea that still smelled slightly fragrant, Zi Qingyan's eyes flashed with embarrassment...
"There's no Miss Xu Youyou here, Mr. Qi, are you mistaken?"
Old Man Zuo spoke with a grin, but in his heart he was thinking that Qi Yan was here to cause trouble.
"Why don't you ask your son?"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Huiye was taken aback and immediately ran behind Dou Shiliu, "Ahem, you say I'm here, so I am?"
Qi Yan's eyes turned cold as he focused on Zuo Huiye, and he said in a cold voice, "What do you mean, Young Master Zuo? Are you saying I deliberately caused trouble?"
Even with Dou Shiliu possibly nearby, Zuo Huiye remained completely calm: "Yes."
Old Man Zuo blocked Qi Yan's view and said with a smirk, "The child is ignorant, Mr. Qi is free to search as he pleases."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Huiye immediately objected: "Why should I? This is my house! Dad, are you out of your mind?! Let him search?"
What if it gets found in the search?
Although his dungeon was very well hidden…
Old Man Zuo slapped him on the forehead as he jumped up and down: "Shut up, you bastard!"
Who is Qi Yan? His Zuo family isn't the He family! They don't have the right to tell him to get lost!
He Zicheng looked at Zuo Huiye, who was standing next to Dou Shiliu with a pout and a pitiful expression, like a puppy being bullied by its owner, and felt a strong itch in his heart.
Qi Yan nodded expressionlessly, and his men immediately disappeared from the spot.
Qi Yan slowly placed his hand on the table and tapped it lightly.
He acted as if he were the master of the house.
After finishing the tea of the cannon fodder, Dou Shiliu came to his senses and saw an unfamiliar face.
"Who is he?" she asked, puzzled. The quiet living room was filled with the unique charm of a young girl.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and even He Zicheng couldn't help but smile.
"Pfft...pfft..." He wondered why Sister Li wasn't saying anything; it turned out she was ignoring Qi Yan, this important figure.
He Zicheng's laughter further added to the awkward atmosphere.
Old Man Zuo wiped away his cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qi Yan still had no expression on his face.
Miss Li has been ignoring Qi Yan for so long...
"Hahaha... Miss Li, let me briefly introduce you. This is Qi Yan from the Golden Dragon Group."
Old Man Zuo's smiling face broke the comedic mood.
"oh"
Dou Shiliu glanced at it indifferently.
"The host is Xu Youyou's male supporting character"
This finally made Dou Shiliu take a good look at him. It has to be said that Xu Youyou has really good taste; Qi Yan is handsome in a roguish way.
"Cough cough," a coughing sound instantly drew Dou Shiliu's attention back.
"What's wrong? Did you choke on your tea?"
Zi Qingyan nodded, and Dou Shiliu handed him her cup of tea: "Drink slowly, I have more."
She thought he was scared, so she snatched his tea again.
She remained silent, her eyes dim. Did she like Qi Yan? She stared at him for a long time…
Just then, Qi Yan's subordinate suddenly appeared beside him and whispered a few words.
Qi Yan's eyes narrowed, then his gaze returned to a calm and unwavering expression. "Farewell, Patriarch Zuo. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."
Old Man Zuo laughed and said, "Young Master Qi, you're too kind," and gestured with his hand.
Qi Yan suppressed his anger as he got up and left, fearing that he might go on a killing spree here.
Did I let you leave?
A soft female voice filled the living room.
Dou Shiliu slowly got up, her eyes meeting Qi Yan's. Her nonchalant expression made Qi Yan frown.
"What? Do I need your permission to leave?"
Qi Yan looked at her coldly, but the girl in front of him chuckled softly.
"You took my people away, and you still need my permission?"
Xu Youyou was taken out of the cell by Qi Yan's men, otherwise Qi Yan would have been in such a hurry to leave before he even had a chance to sit down.
"Your people? May I ask if this young lady has any proof?"
There was something fishy about that. Old Man Zuo was secretly worried. Could it be that those kids had really kidnapped someone's wife?
"Evidence? Do you deserve it?"
A murderous glint flashed in Qi Yan's eyes. His subordinate appeared in front of Dou Shiliu in a flash and slapped him across the face.
So fast that even He Zicheng, who was present, didn't see it; all he could see were Dou Shiliu's calm eyes.
Holy crap!
Zuo Huiye exclaimed in surprise, "How could Qi Yan be so insidious! He made his move without warning!"
Dou Shiliu kicked the mercenary away, and Qi Yan's eyes flashed with astonishment before disappearing.
"If a dog bites someone, should the owner hit it?"
Dou Shiliu said something indifferently.
Qi Yan sneered: "You kidnapped my wife, and you're still trying to talk nonsense with me?"
Dou Shiliu said nonchalantly, "Your wife sent people to kill me; I think you should know that."
Old Man Zuo, a bystander, was completely bewildered and scratched his head. Clearly, Qi Yan and this girl had a grudge, but why was she causing trouble at his house? Couldn't she have done it elsewhere?
It's definitely that brat Zuo Huiye again!
Old Man Zuo glared at him through gritted teeth.
Zuo Huiye didn't see it; his attention was entirely on Qi Yan.
"Last time you sent two groups of people to ambush me and Sister Li, and the process was quite ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan couldn't help but sneer: "You have a traitor among your men. The people who are chasing you are my Golden Dragon's men, but they weren't sent by me. Are you trying to pin these old grievances on me?"
"As Sister Li said, if a dog bites someone, the owner should be punished."
He Zicheng, who had remained silent, glanced at Qi Yan with a cold and aloof expression.
He Zicheng is now the heir of the He family, and when he speaks, he represents the entire He family.
No matter how arrogant Qi Yan is, he can't openly oppose He Zicheng.
Suddenly, a guard from the Zuo family entered and whispered a few words in Old Master Zuo's ear, causing his expression to darken.
It turns out that these kids really did kidnap someone's wife.
Qi Yan's men tried to leave the Zuo family with the injured woman, but they were stopped by his men.
"Bring them in"
It's best not to let them leave, otherwise...
Qi Yan sneered: "Is Young Master He trying to protect your little girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Zuo Huiye was so shocked that her teeth fell out.
Old Man Zuo was also taken aback, glancing at He Zicheng and Dou Shiliu.
When did these two get together? And what is the relationship between the boy next to the girl?
Zi Qingyan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously gripped Dou Shiliu's hand tightly.
