Although Xu Wei didn't say it out loud.
But Ling Shen knew he understood.
Ling Shen said, "Do you think you can safely escape abroad if you harm her?"
What Ling Shen said wasn't really surprising to anyone, since everyone knew that Qian Sui's surname was Qian, and no one had thought of any other possible explanation.
However, he didn't know Qian Sui. In his knowledge, there was only one family with the surname Qian.
That was a family, just like Ling Shen's, that was extremely difficult to provoke.
Now that Ling Shen says the girl he caught has the surname Qian, he himself broke out in a cold sweat.
Could this girl really be from the Qian family?
If that's really the case, then he has indeed gotten himself into trouble again.
But he quickly calmed down.
Although the Qian family is very mysterious, he still knows some things about them: the Qian family has no daughters at all.
Xu Wei immediately retorted, "You think you can fool me? The Qian family doesn't have any daughters at all. If they really did, how could the outside world not know?"
Thousands of families?
Zhang Shaochuan and his group began to realize that something was wrong.
Does Ling Shen mean that Qian Sui is a member of the Qian family?
Faced with everyone's questions, Ling Shen remained calm and said, "If you investigate carefully, you will understand that the Qian family recently brought back a little daughter from outside, named Qian Sui."
Ling Shen, fearing he might not believe him, looked at Zhang Shaochuan and his group beside him and said, "You should know these people. They are all students from University A. You should know what kind of school University A is. Do you think the people who can study there have simple backgrounds?"
Xu Wei looked at Zhang Shaochuan and his group. Indeed, although he was not very familiar with those people, he had seen some of their faces at some events. These young masters and ladies all came from powerful families.
However, Xu Wei still didn't believe it and said, "Don't lie to me. I saw it just now. This girl's clothes are not brand names at all. She looks poor. She only got this outfit because of the man next to her."
Xu Wei didn't believe it. He lifted the hand that was gripping Qian Sui's neck, revealing Qian Sui's face. He looked at Qian Sui's face carefully and found that she was indeed beautiful. She hadn't noticed it much when she was dressed so poorly, but now that she had changed her clothes, her demeanor was completely different.
Xu Wei released Qian Sui's neck, allowing Qian Sui to breathe more easily.
Seeing that Qian Sui's expression wasn't so bad anymore, Ling Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Qu Yuanyuan also began to speak up. Although she was very scared, she still felt that she had to do something for Qian Sui.
She mustered her courage, swallowed hard to calm her trembling body, and then continued following Ling Shen's words: "No wonder the Emperor was able to casually give away tens of millions of imperial emeralds just now. So he is a daughter of the Qian family."
Zhang Shaochuan also saw a glimmer of hope; Xu Wei seemed to be giving up resistance.
Zhang Shaochuan said, "That's right, I knew a long time ago that Qian Sui was the youngest daughter of the Qian family. Otherwise, how could someone like me play with children from poor families?"
Those people, one after another, seemed to confirm the identity of the Thousand-Year-Old, making Xu Wei even more flustered.
Ling Shen clearly sensed that Xu Wei's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.
It was at this moment that Chitose, who had been unconscious until now, suddenly frowned and groaned uncomfortably.
"It's so noisy!"
His voice, "Your Majesty," was still quite strong.
She probably didn't realize what kind of situation she was in, and just thought that the people around her were making noise, so she started to throw a little tantrum.
When the others saw Qian Sui start to speak, they were all afraid that Qian Sui might anger Xu Wei.
Only Ling Shen and Lu Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief.
Alright, Chisui is starting to regain consciousness.
Ling Shen was well aware of Qian Sui's abilities.
Lu Jiayan also knew Qian Sui well; if she were sober, ten Xu Weis wouldn't be a match for her.
Ling Shen looked at Qian Sui, paying attention to Xu Wei's movements.
Ling Shen lowered his voice and tried to coax Qian Sui, who was still a little drunk.
Ling Shen said, "Your Majesty."
Qian Sui, whose eyes were still half-closed and body was limp, heard the familiar voice and softly hummed in response. Although her eyes were still closed, she was able to turn her head toward the direction from which Ling Shen's voice came.
Ling Shen continued, "Qian Sui, what's your brother's name?"
Qian Sui hummed again, as if she hadn't heard Ling Shen clearly. She paused for several seconds before finally asking, "Which brother?"
Ling Shen then said, "Big Brother."
This time, Qian Sui heard clearly and replied without hesitation, "My elder brother's name is Qian Ci."
Upon hearing what the Emperor said, Xu Wei's legs went completely weak.
He just wanted to grab a hostage and escape, but how did he end up getting into another problem?
Xu Wei grasped Qian Sui's hand and visibly relaxed.
Xu Wei had been holding a knife to Qian Sui the whole time, and now he was sweating profusely, so he used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Just then, Ling Shen spoke up, saying, "Your Highness, your brother is calling you home!"
Chitose was actually still conscious, but she was trapped in a certain state and felt there was no need to be awake.
But she always remembered what her older brother Qianci had said: to be home before nine o'clock.
I had a drink earlier, so my mind was a bit sluggish and I forgot.
Now, with Ling Shen's reminder, Qian Sui suddenly jolted awake, opened her eyes, and became fully conscious.
She sensed someone grabbing her neck, so she reached out and grabbed the person's hand, twisting it forcefully to free Xu Wei's hand.
Xu Wei, in pain, tried to use the hand holding the knife to attack Qian Sui.
