There was an awkward silence among them; they were indeed not easy to get along with and spoke very directly.
Kong Sang smiled and said, "Since we're just killing time... let's play together after we finish eating."
There was no special treatment given to Qi Ling because of her identity. Throughout the journey, Kong Sang was just as enthusiastic towards the two boys, answering their questions whenever possible.
After observing secretly, Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought... that Nie Kongsang was up to something again. It seemed she had been overthinking it. With her older brother Qi Yunshen by her side, Nie Kongsang had no need to want anything from her.
Relax and enjoy the food. After eating, Kongsang took a few people to the arcade and booked the whole place.
The three boys were playing with a basket of coins, shouting and laughing with joy. It was Qi Ling's first time in such a place, and she didn't know how to play anything, so Kong Sang gently taught her.
Qi Ling quickly became immersed in the moment, her expression no longer cold, but full of youthful energy.
That wasn't all. It was quite late when they left the arcade. The group, each wearing a baseball cap, sat at a typical roadside food stall, eating skewers and drinking beer, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
With Kongsang's people always protecting them from the shadows, there's no need to worry too much about safety.
Qi Ling, who had never eaten in a place like this before, had a flushed face from the alcohol, and her gaze towards Kong Sang changed.
"Miss Nie..."
"Yes, you're Shengyu's classmate. Call me Sister Nie. Is there anything you want to say?"
"No...it's nothing. Next time Sister Nie comes to visit Shengyu Laisen, could you bring me along again?"
The boys at the table looked at Qi Ling in surprise. Was this really the Qi Ling who never gave anyone a kind look?
A smile flashed across Kong Sang's eyes in an instant; he was still young after all.
There's a saying that goes, "If she's world-weary, take her on a carousel; if she's naive, show her the world's splendor."
Seeing that Long Sang didn't speak, Sheng Yu Leisen immediately interjected, "Then you're overthinking it. It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that my sister is very busy. She doesn't have time to take me out to play often."
"I've been begging for this for so long, I want to go out and play every day too."
Kong Sang patted Sheng Yu's head and said with a smile, "One time is not enough, but... if Qi Ling doesn't mind, she can come to Tonight's Unforgettable Night to find me."
"Coming to school is still inconvenient, but you can come to my house together. Of course, given your special status, it's up to you whether you want to come or not."
Qi Ling lowered her head, neither agreeing nor refusing. Going to someone else's house required a lot of courage for her, let alone to someone who was on good terms with her older brother.
She liked this feeling of indulgence, but... it wasn't that she didn't know the consequences.
The day of fun quickly came to an end. Kong Sang took the person back to school and saw a black Bentley waiting at the door.
The car window rolled down, revealing a sharp, cold face. Kong Sang met his gaze, they nodded to each other, said nothing, saw off the two classmates, and left with the sacred jade.
Qi Ling, her face cold and expressionless, got into the car and said, "The news comes fast. What do you want to say now? Let me tell you, Qi Cheng, your business with my brother has nothing to do with me. Don't try to interfere with me, and don't try to use me to pave your way."
"Foolish, you're my sister. What good would it do you if I lost?"
"Pshaw, what does winning or losing matter? I'd rather be a nobody college student, living a mediocre life, than be your pawn."
A resounding slap, without any mercy.
Qi Cheng said coldly, "Go back and explain to Mom yourself. If you don't want to help, fine, but if you dare to hold me back, I won't let you off the hook."
Qi Ling covered her face and remained silent, leaning against the car window to force back her tears. Through the window, she looked at Sheng Yu Laisen, who was laughing and joking with Kong Sang, her eyes filled with envy.
As the car drove away, Kong Sang glanced at Qi Yun Shen's younger brother, Qi Cheng. He had met him a few times before and knew he was not an easy person to deal with.
If Qi Ling's indifference was merely a facade, a little girl's self-isolation, then this man was genuinely cold-hearted and ruthless.
Back at the manor, Yu Wei greeted her, saying, "Kong Sang, there's an envelope for you. This... is it from the same person as last time?"
Kong Sang's peach blossom eyes darkened, and she casually took the bag upstairs, saying, "Oh, it's nothing, just a friend."
Yu Wei frowned slightly; something was wrong...
Seeing the increasingly outrageous photos, Kong Sang was enraged. This was the second time in such a short time. Did they really think she was an easy target?
He knocked on Wei Shengyi's door. The man, who had just finished showering and was only wearing pants, wanted to make a few jokes, but seeing Kong Sang's expression, he raised an eyebrow and let him in.
After listening to Kong Sang's explanation, he immediately asked for the result: "What do you want?"
“In the Cui family, Cui Ying is a brother and sister. Cui Ying has a son and a daughter with the president, and neither of them are easy to bully. But her brother also has two sons. I can’t always be bullied. There’s nothing wrong with showing my strength appropriately.”
Wei Sheng lit a cigarette: "To what extent?"
Kong Sang Tao Hua's eyes turned slightly cold: "So crippled that only special methods can restore him, guess... will the Cui family seek help from Nie Qu, Nie Jingxing, or one of us?"
Wei Shengyi laughed out loud: "Nie Qu has been in frequent contact with foreign forces. Country C must know this. The Cui family will naturally know and won't come knocking."
"As for Nie Jingxing... he won't help you even if you ask. It depends on whether you're willing to swallow your pride. If you are, then someone's jealousy will surely boil over, right?"
Kong Sang pursed her lips tightly: "I won't go to Nie Jingxing. He clearly wants to do the right thing, but he still comes to beg. I'm not that shameless."
Wei Shengyi paused for a moment: "Then this matter is risky. If things go wrong, it might all benefit Nie Jingxing."
"It doesn't matter. I just want to prevent blackmailers from becoming completely unscrupulous. Even if Nie Jingxing is willing to help, it will not be for free. They will still learn their lesson."
Wei Sheng nodded: "It's good that you've thought it through. I'll do it as soon as possible, within the next day or two."
"Yes, thank you."
Just as Wei Shengyi was about to say something unpleasant, Kong Sangma slipped out of the room. Wei Shengyi chuckled to himself, "I eat people?"
Two major events occurred in the capital within three days.
Xiao Cha, the only remaining daughter of the Xiao family, is actually going to marry a celebrity in the entertainment industry. Although the celebrity has announced that he will retire from the industry and marry into the Xiao family, their identities are worlds apart.
This is their only daughter, has the Xiao family gone mad?
The key point is that they got married right away, and the date was already set without any hint of a delay. Everyone guessed that the death of the eldest daughter, Xiao Yue, probably provoked the Xiao family couple.
It's possible that he didn't seek wealth or status, but only wanted his daughter to have a good life. You know, the Xiao family used to be very ambitious and always wanted to develop in the military and political circles.
The second thing was even more outrageous. The eldest son of the current head of the Cui family was in a car accident. The car overturned down the hillside, and when they were found, his entire right leg was missing.
This was a car accident, not a ghost encounter. They dug three feet into the ground nearby but couldn't find the leg. Moreover, the wound wasn't cut or broken off; it looked more like it had been twisted off by something.
The Cui family summoned too many famous doctors, but the results were not ideal.
Someone mentioned that Nie Yan had broken his leg and recovered. Although it wasn't such a severe fracture, there was still hope. The Cui family contacted Nie Jingxing.
