Qin Shaojing quickly hid behind Qin Beiming, staring intently at the entrance for a long while. When reinforcements failed to arrive, he suddenly became anxious and asked Qin Beiming:
"Brother, you didn't come alone, did you?"
"I can handle you, you brat, all by myself."
As Qin Beiming spoke, he suddenly turned around, grabbed Qin Shaojing by the collar, and threw him to the ground.
Qin Shaojing was somewhat dazed, staring at Qin Beiming's suddenly changed expression with a wronged look, and muttered to himself:
"Brother, so many people are watching, give me some face, don't hit my face..."
"You dare to flirt with the woman I've set my sights on?"
Qin Beiming ignored Qin Shaojing's quiet pleas and swung his fist, punching him in the face again and again.
His movements were extremely ruthless, as if he wanted to beat Qin Shaojing to death, which shocked the people around him.
Even the thugs who pretended to collect protection money were somewhat wary of Qin Beiming's ruthless methods.
After taking several punches, Qin Shaojing began to secretly ponder the meaning behind Qin Beiming's "fight scene".
He was still thinking to himself that he and Ling Mo had no connection, so even if Qin Beiming suddenly went crazy, there was no reason for him to keep harping on this point.
Upon closer reflection, it became clear that Qin Beiming was deliberately creating the impression that the brothers had turned against each other over a woman.
The group of people who came to cause trouble today are most likely planning to kidnap him and use him as leverage to threaten Qin Beiming.
Qin Beiming's beatings of him were tantamount to telling this group that their plan was completely unfeasible.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaojing suddenly snapped out of his daze and immersed himself completely in the script Qin Beiming had arranged for him. Grinning, he pointed at the still-shaken young starlet Mu Xia not far away and said nonchalantly:
"Could it be the woman my brother has his eye on? Actually, I didn't flirt with her much, we just looked at the script together in the dark once."
"I have no interest in your private life."
Qin Beiming looked down at Qin Shaojing, who was lying on the ground, and said coldly:
"Qin Shaojing, listen to me carefully. I'm warning you one last time: Xuanwei is Grandma's savior. Don't have any improper thoughts about her."
“Xuanwei…”
Qin Shaojing vaguely remembered that it was this woman named Xuan Wei who stole the identity of Ling Mozhan's daughter.
Qin Beiming's mention of Xuanwei at this critical juncture must have been intentional.
Their main purpose was nothing more than to protect Ling Mo, to prevent her from being targeted by this group of people as much as possible, and to vent her anger on her behalf.
Having grasped this understanding, Qin Shaojing cooperated readily, quickly getting up from the ground, a sly smile playing on his lips, and launching into a barrage of sarcastic remarks at Qin Beiming:
"Brother really likes to portray himself as a devoted lover. I heard that the reason you were pursuing Miss Ling of Shijian Group so hard a while ago was because you found out beforehand that she was Zhan Hanjue's lost treasure in China, so you pretended to be a lover who would die young."
Now that he knows the real daughter of the Zhan family is someone else, he can't wait to get rid of that Miss Ling. He's really a scumbag.
"You'd better stay out of my business."
"How dare I meddle in your business? The reason I've targeted Zhan Xuanwei isn't because I like her that much, but mainly because of her illustrious family background. You have no idea how difficult it has been for me to make it in the entertainment industry all these years. I just want to find a powerful backer like Zhan Hanjue, is that not allowed?"
"If you dare to harm Xuanwei, I will personally skin you alive."
Qin Beiming and Qin Shaojing worked together seamlessly, their back-and-forth banter leaving everyone around them completely bewildered.
The group of men who had come under the pretense of collecting protection money saw how bad the relationship between the brothers had become, so they completely gave up the idea of kidnapping Qin Shaojing and slunk away, instead considering the feasibility of kidnapping Xuan Wei.
Before this, they had considered that if Qin Beiming was unwilling to rescue Qin Shaojing, they would target Ling Mo for kidnapping.
Now it seems that kidnapping Ling Mo is not a viable option...
After the group of people retreated silently, Qin Shaojing's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
He lightly punched Qin Beiming in the chest, and said with a playful laugh:
"How exactly do you manage to make people both love and hate you? One second, I was touched by your rush to my rescue. The next second, I realized that all you did was to protect a girl who has no blood relation to you."
"Stop talking nonsense and just focus on filming your movie."
Qin Beiming only gave a casual word of advice, and because he was worried about Ling Mo, he hurriedly returned to Linjiang City.
No sooner had he left than Mu Xia, her eyes shining, approached Qin Shaojing and asked curiously:
"Brother Shaojing, was the man who just beat you up Qin Beiming, the chairman of the Qin Group, who was trending on Weibo a while ago?"
"Um."
Qin Shaojing took the ice cubes for applying to his face from his assistant and nodded slightly. "He's my brother."
"The way your brother beats you up is so cool!"
Mu Xia, mimicking Xi Shi clutching her heart, said with a lovesick expression.
At this moment, she completely forgot that she had just spent the whole night rocking the bed with Qin Shaojing, and only thought about sleeping with his older brother, becoming his sister-in-law, and incidentally giving him a bunch of nephews and nieces.
"idiot."
Qin Shaojing rolled his eyes abruptly, suddenly questioning the meaning of life.
Last night, she called him "little sister" all night long, but she was actually captivated by Qin Beiming, who hadn't even given her a second glance.
