After a moment of silence, Qin Sheng finally spoke slowly: "Then why do you want to make our relationship public?"
Why else could it be? Naturally, it's to make those who want to make a fuss about her think twice!
Xuanyuan Zhenhua wanted to speak, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the girl's still cool voice come from the phone receiver, saying, "You've changed your mind, haven't you?"
Xuanyuan Zhenhua paused, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes.
He didn't answer immediately, and Qin Sheng didn't actually need his answer. He continued, "If you're going to fight, then you have to win. Otherwise, your faction..." He paused, then added, "including me and the Qin and Fu families behind me, will suffer a devastating blow."
He paused again, then continued, "When I was in Shifang, I saved quite a few people, including several highly respected elders in China. They should be able to help you, brother."
Furthermore, Q's status as a top-level researcher at the First Experimental Base carries some influence in China, at least enough to make some people think twice when taking sides or making decisions.
Before making the call, Xuan Yuanzhenhua had a vague idea of the reason, which was why he was so angry.
Hearing this with his own ears, the anger that had just subsided surged up again, and he laughed in exasperation: "You've thought it through quite clearly. Since you know that revealing your identities will hinder those people, haven't you considered what to do if they become desperate? What if they try to eliminate any future trouble by underhanded tactics against you?!"
He was trying to divert people's attention from her, but instead, she jumped out and became the target.
Is this a joke?!
Xuanyuan Zhenhua grew angrier the more he thought about it. If the person hadn't been out of sight, he would have definitely swept his cane over there.
Then, upon hearing Qin Sheng's words, he became so angry that he threw his cane, which hit Xuan Yuanjing in the chest as he entered from outside.
Xuanyuan Jing: "???"
Xuanyuan Zhenhua ignored him, rubbed his ears, and raised his voice, saying, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
Qin Sheng: "...I said I've thought of it."
Xuanyuan Zhenhua: "!!!"
She grabbed the teacup beside her and flung it out, hitting Xuan Yuanjing, who was picking up his cane and continuing to walk inside, with perfect accuracy.
Xuanyuan Jing: "..."
She couldn't help but glance at her hot-tempered father again and advised, "Sheng Sheng said to guard against arrogance and impatience and cultivate one's character."
Upon hearing the voice, Qin Sheng retorted, "At your age, can't you be a little more mature?"
Xuanyuan Zhenhua: "!!!"
With such a rebellious son and daughter around, how can he possibly be composed?!
It was his last act of defiance that he didn't die of anger!
Xuan Yuanjing stepped forward, took the phone from his hand, turned on speakerphone, and said, "Sheng Sheng, you're not usually this impatient. Tell your older brother, why?"
Qin Sheng pursed her lips and replied, "I might be leaving for a while with Fu Jingheng. I'll leave the Qin and Fu families in your care."
Xuanyuan Jing raised an eyebrow: "So you want to help me win before you leave?"
Qin Sheng: "...Mm."
Xuanyuan Jing didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. In the end, he just pressed his temples and said, "Where are you going? Is it dangerous?"
Qin Sheng thought for a moment and replied, "The parts I'm unsure about."
As for the danger...
"The danger isn't too bad, it's just that the timeframe can't be guaranteed."
Although they knew the origins of the Black Prison, no one knew what kind of trump cards the Black Prison Lord held, and even Qin Sheng couldn't guarantee what the outcome would be if they faced him.
The best-case scenario is that she and Fu Jingheng join forces to eliminate the other party. The worst-case scenario... she won't die, but she can't guarantee anything else.
Especially the time involved, ranging from a few days to...
A dark glint flashed in Qin Sheng's eyes, but she composed herself and continued calmly, "Even if I become the target, it depends on whether they can hit me. Even if they do..."
Qin Sheng smiled faintly, but Xuan Yuan Zhenhua and Xuan Yuan Jing, who knew her well, could hear coldness and arrogance in her laughter. They said, "The target is quite hard. It might damage the bullets and the gun."
That makes a lot of sense.
Xuanyuan Jing lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more, simply replying "I understand" before hanging up the phone.
Xuan Yuan Zhenhua, who was still waiting for him to teach Qin Sheng a lesson: "???"
Realizing what had happened, she snatched her phone back, angrily saying, "You're done talking, but I'm not! Who told you to hang up!"
Xuan Yuanjing found it amusing, yet also helpless: "You know her personality; once she's made up her mind, can you persuade her otherwise?"
He paused, then continued, "Even if you could, what's done is done. Can you really expect those people to take back what they said?"
Xuanyuan Zhenhua isn't really senile; how could he not know? He's just angry!
She tossed her phone aside and lay down in the recliner behind her, stubbornly saying, "I don't care what method you come up with, I just can't let that guy surnamed Yang make a move on my daughter!"
Xuanyuan Jing realized that people really do become more difficult to deal with as they get older.
Looking at this old man, he's completely a doting father to his daughter. Where is there even a trace of the "tyrant" he once was?
Xuanyuan Jing found it amusing.
She didn't argue with him, and agreed, "Okay, I'll send someone to keep an eye on him and warn him, and make sure he won't have another chance to make trouble for Sheng Sheng."
"And what about that guy surnamed Gu? Did you find what you were asked to investigate?" Xuan Yuanzhenhua continued to ask.
Xuanyuan Jing nodded: "That's about it. I'll tidy it up a bit more and then send it over. I'll let him go and keep his son company this week."
Xuanyuan Zhenhua was finally satisfied.
As she slowly closed her eyes, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go now, I'm going to take a nap."
He's starting to show some of the demeanor of someone in a high position.
Xuanyuan Jing found it amusing, responded, and left.
Unbeknownst to the two, before they could even make a move, Gu Jihai had already incurred the wrath of his superior.
Yang Qiming slammed the inkstone beside him at Gu Jihai. Still not satisfied, he threw two more books, each about the size of a hand, at him, shouting angrily, "Gu Jihai! Who gave you the guts? Who gave you permission to do that?!"
Gu Jihai's body was shaking like a leaf. Under the intense pressure of the man's rage, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and his knees buckled, causing him to kneel on the ground.
Her voice trembled as she said, "I...I didn't expect things to turn out like this, that Qin Sheng...that Qin Sheng..."
"That Qin Sheng is someone you can afford to offend?!"
"Don't even mention that she has the Xuanyuan family father and son backing her up; just look at the Fu family, the Qin family, yes, the Mo Group... and the Mo Group behind her!"
"You think you can handle these forces all by yourself?!"
"Don't even mention these forces, you can't even handle Qin Zheng!"
"Gu Jihai, do I need to remind you how Qin Zheng took your position as leader of the Dark Division?"
