Chapter 582 He's the one who comforts himself.
Hou Kai saw that Zhou Qiao didn't believe him, and added, "Sister-in-law, our boss is so old and has never had a boyfriend. He's so pure! If you really leave, our boss might stay single for a long time. When he gets old and sick, he won't even have anyone to help take care of him in the hospital. Just imagine that situation, wouldn't that be pitiful?!"
Before Zhou Qiao could speak, A Yan beside her nodded in agreement: "Poor thing."
Then came Lao Qi: "Poor thing."
Finally, Han Xu nodded slightly: "Lian."
Zhou Qiao: "..."
Should we ask her or them?
A sense of unease rose in her heart, but she remained unwavering and said, "No matter what your boss does, it has nothing to do with me. I'll say it again, I'm not your sister-in-law! And I'll never be his wife! Besides, your boss doesn't like me either, so you guys shouldn't try to pair me up. It's getting late, you should all go back now. I promise you, I won't think about running away tonight, okay?"
Hou Kai: "What about tomorrow?"
"I'm not running tomorrow either!"
"And the day after tomorrow?"
"Hey, why are you talking so much? Let's talk about it the day after tomorrow!" Zhou Qiao put her hands on her hips. "No matter what, you're boys and I'm a girl. You can't really stay in my room all the time, it's almost dawn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chickens outside crowed twice.
As dawn broke, Lao Qi tugged at Hou Kai: "Brother Kai, since your sister-in-law said she's not leaving today, shall we go and rest? I'm so sleepy."
Hou Kai turned to Zhou Qiao and said, "Sister-in-law, you keep your word. You can't lie to us, can you?"
"Who do you think you are? I'm a man of integrity, you know!" Zhou Qiao glared.
"Alright, then the four of us will head back first. Sister-in-law, please get some rest!"
Zhou Qiao waved her hand: "And close the door behind you!"
"Okay!"
The four people left in a row, and Zhou Qiao finally lay back on the bed, but her mind was full of the things the boys had just said to her, and she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Who would have thought that Qin Feng, that great devil, would adopt so many orphans and raise them single-handedly?
Zhou Qiao's worldview was somewhat overturned when she imagined Qin Feng's usual kind and gentle expression towards the group of children, just like an old father.
She quickly shook off the terrifying images in her mind and hurriedly closed her eyes.
I don't want to think about it anymore. Even if he did this one good deed, it can't outweigh the fact that he's actually a ruthless killer. The escape plan absolutely cannot end like this!
...
Zhou Qiao fell asleep without realizing it, and slept quite soundly, but it was Hou Kai and the other three who suffered.
They had to get up at six o'clock every morning to practice their skills. Their instructor would supervise them, and if Qin Feng was around, he would occasionally come over to check on their training and offer some pointers.
However, the four of them slept too late yesterday and completely forgot about practicing at six o'clock this morning.
By the time Hou Kai jumped out of bed, the sun was already high in the sky.
Just then, Han Xu pushed the door open and came back carrying a washbasin. Hou Kai stared at him wide-eyed when he saw him all scrubbed up: "Old Han, are you even human? You got up and didn't even call us?!"
"I called out," Han Xu said calmly.
"I called you but I didn't hear you!" Hou Kai glared.
"Sleeping too soundly." Han Xu went into the room and put down the washbasin. "The boss is here. He doesn't look well. Hurry up."
After saying that, he turned and left.
When Hou Kai heard the words "The boss is here," his heart sank. He quickly pulled Lao Qi and A Yan out of bed and said, "Hurry up and get out of bed! The sun is high in the sky. The boss is waiting in the yard to train us!"
As the group dressed and ran into the yard, Qin Feng and Han Xu were already exchanging punches.
The other dozen or so teammates were already dressed and standing on both sides.
Seeing the three of them come out, Qin Feng ignored them and said to Han Xu, "Your punches are not coming out right. The way you release them is fine, but you can't take them back. Practice some more."
Han Xu nodded and then began to practice seriously.
Qin Feng turned around and walked towards Hou Kai and the others.
Seeing this, Hou Kai quickly tried to appease him with a smile, "Boss, we stayed up too late yesterday and overslept this morning..."
Qin Feng glanced at him, then at Lao Qi and A Yan who were still bowing their heads, and nodded: "Oversleeping is no big deal."
Hou Kai felt a sense of relief. It seemed that with his sister-in-law's arrival, even the eldest brother had become more lenient: "We promise to practice hard today, and make the most of our time..."
"Run the 3,000 meters, then come back to the assembly point." Qin Feng interrupted him without hesitation.
Hou Kai's smile froze instantly.
Old Qi next to him slumped his shoulders and said, "Boss, three thousand meters, so tiring!"
Qin Feng: "Five thousand meters."
Ayan pouted, looking a little aggrieved: "Boss, we were with Sister-in-law yesterday."
Qin Feng: "Seven thousand meters!"
Hou Kai stared wide-eyed anxiously and said, "Boss, did you even hear what we were saying? You don't know, we worked until almost dawn to prevent Sister-in-law from escaping. You don't appreciate it, but punishing us with seven thousand meters is just too inhumane!"
"Enough with the nonsense?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow: "Ten thousand..."
Old Qi's knees buckled and he almost knelt down: "No, no, no, boss, it's only seven thousand, that's fine."
Seeing that Lao Qi was so easily manipulated, Hou Kai was furious. He looked at Qin Feng and said, "You've taken my kindness for granted. Humph, from now on, we won't be involved in your sister-in-law's affairs!"
Qin Feng snorted coldly: "I brought these people back myself, why should you care? I built the entire Shadow Gate from scratch, how could I not handle a girl?"
"How can this be the same thing!" Hou Kai glared.
Ayan whispered from the side, "Boss, sister-in-law, she's not easy to coax."
"Tsk." Qin Feng pointed at the three of them: "If you keep arguing, you'll have to run 10,000 meters."
The three people: "..."
Qin Feng shot him a glance: "Still standing there?"
The three dared not utter another word and hurriedly ran onto the track.
"You're being too cruel to us! Don't regret it if you can't handle your sister-in-law!" Hou Kai shouted as he ran.
Qin Feng launched a flying kick, and he quickly dodged it.
The three of them ran around for a while, their stomachs rumbling, before the other teammates gradually dispersed to go eat breakfast. Only Han Xu voluntarily joined them.
"You...you didn't get up late either, so why are you running around here too?" Hou Kai asked, panting.
"I want to become stronger."
Hou Kai: "..."
He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood; he really wanted to stick four big words on Han Xu's back: "Reject Involution!"
Han is truly a king of arrogance.
Old Qi, who was not in good physical condition, followed behind breathlessly: "Do you think it's true that the eldest brother just said he can handle his sister-in-law?"
Hou Kai scoffed: "Just listen to his bragging. If he doesn't piss off my sister-in-law within three days, I'll change my surname to his!"
...
Qin Feng watched the four people run for a while, then slowly returned to his room while pondering something.
He knew that Zhou Qiao was a little afraid of him, and that she never dared to look him in the eye when she spoke to him. He also knew that she didn't want to stay in the Shadow Gate.
But this is all because she misunderstood and was prejudiced against him.
He believed that as long as he treated her sincerely and gave her his heart, she would eventually see his good qualities and willingly stay with him.
He's lived for over twenty years, is he really less reliable than a few little brats?
After thinking for a moment, he made a phone call to Shen Li.
