Sheng Qian's expression was calm, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.
"If we can't even get a hair out of him if we join forces, then it means that the strength of the two of us is not enough to shake Sector S."
Then we should consider other options.
Sheng Qian frowned.
So, is Tang Yuxiu testing himself?
Sheng Qian could understand.
She wasn't angry.
They sat in the teahouse for a while before deciding to leave.
I could hear noises outside through the door.
Both of them were taken aback.
Long Xingzhou had arranged to meet someone here today to discuss business, but unfortunately, Xie Chiquan was also here having tea with his family.
Upon hearing these two voices, Sheng Qian could only retreat even if she wanted to leave.
If Long Xingzhou saw me walking with Tang Yuxiu and having tea alone, I wonder what he would think.
Although there was nothing between them, their relationship was completely innocent.
But they couldn't withstand the gossip and idle chatter of others.
She used to be indifferent, but now that she has something she cares about, she can no longer ignore it.
In addition, given the times, she also needs to be more restrained.
Tang Yuxiu was unaware of the relationship between Sheng Qian and Long Xingzhou, but he knew that his reputation in the capital was terrible, and going out with Sheng Qian like this would inevitably cause her some trouble.
So the two of them tacitly sat back down and continued drinking tea.
The two people outside, however, did not leave.
Instead, they stood outside and spoke, and everyone on their side could hear them clearly.
"Young Master Long is here to discuss business?"
Xie Chiquan was somewhat depressed after learning that Sheng Qian was Long Yunting's wife from the countryside.
After finally recovering, he frequently ran into Long Xingzhou while he was out.
When encountering members of the Long family, it's hard not to think of Sheng Qian.
Thinking of this person reminds me of my unrequited love being nipped in the bud.
Xie Chiquan was in a bad mood.
Seeing that Xie Chiquan's tone was not as gentle as before, but rather somewhat cold, Long Xingzhou couldn't help but glance at his expression, and then swept his gaze over the younger generation of the Xie family that he had brought out.
Upon seeing Long Xingzhou, the younger generation who had come with Xie Chiquan for tea nodded and smiled.
"The Xie family has been entertaining Professor Pan, who has come from afar, for the past two days?" Long Xingzhou said abruptly.
Xie Chiquan was taken aback, his dark eyes turning slightly cold as he suddenly looked at Long Xingzhou. "Is Young Master Long keeping an eye on the Xie family's movements?"
In an instant, the atmosphere became somewhat somber.
Long Xingzhou smiled gently: "I just overheard it, why is Young Master Quan so nervous?"
Xie Chiquan immediately composed himself and said calmly, "Since Young Master Long already knows about this, there's no need to ask any more questions."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Qian and Tang Yuxiu exchanged a glance.
Pan Xianyun really intended to launch an offensive against the powerful families of the capital, bringing them under his command one by one.
There are very few families that are willing to be pawns of Pan Xianyun.
Only Tang Weiming and Qiao Weiyu, being foolish enough not to see the stakes involved, would have eagerly joined in.
"Professor Pan contacted us first. Young Master Quan should know why he came."
“The Xie family is not a pawn to be manipulated,” Xie Chiquan said, his deep black eyes reflecting Long Xingzhou’s gentle face. “The Long family should not meddle in the Xie family’s territory. Even if we had some past relationship, I will not show any mercy.”
Long Xingzhou was taken aback by his threatening words, and then chuckled, "Don't worry, Young Master Quan, the Long family would not do such a thing."
Xie Chiquan smiled faintly, and his faint aura collided with Long Xingzhou's aura, transforming into an even stronger aura.
"The Song family incident is obvious to all; the prominent families in the capital are not blind."
Long Xingzhou frowned slightly: "It seems that Young Master Quan is unaware of the true situation behind this."
"There's no need to know who they're standing up for; the Long family's actions have surprised everyone."
The powerful families should be wary of the Long family as well.
Long Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, looking at Xie Chiquan without wanting to say anything more.
Xie Chiquan nodded slightly to Long Xingzhou and left with his family.
Long Xingzhou stood there, watching Xie Chiquan's departing figure for a long time before turning around and continuing to walk inside.
As soon as they left, Sheng Qian and Tang Yuxiu came out.
“Pan Xianyun is very active among the prominent families in the capital, so we should hurry up.”
As Tang Yuxiu spoke, he glanced to both sides.
Sheng Qian nodded, "You go first."
Tang Yuxiu nodded and strode away.
Sheng Qian stood there for a while, then turned around and looked inside.
The Long family's actions last time likely led to other speculations among all the prominent families in the capital.
The Long family suddenly attacked the Song family, but managed to suppress them, forcing Song Yuzhou to step forward and make a request to her.
Sheng Qian turned her head to look at the tea set behind her, her eyes darkening slightly, and then she stepped outside.
Some things should be done sooner rather than later.
