  “There’s another person with the surname Yan. Because she’s from the third generation of the Yan collateral family, she’s related to Qin Shu. However, she didn’t end up doing so well either.”


  “She thought that she would have nothing to worry about with the Yan family’s protection. She underestimated the master’s strength.”


  Qin Shu didn’t expect to hear such a conversation the moment she arrived.

  Who was the master?

  And a female university student?

  Because of her?

  She was apathetic when she heard the first part of the conversation. However, she thought of Yan Jing the moment she heard the last name, Yan.

  Yan Jing’s surname was Yan, and the man’s grandmother’s last name was Yan too.

  Yan Ruoqing’s original family was in Xilin, and it was also a hidden aristocratic family in a top-tier region.

  Three generations apart from the collateral family, it meant that this relationship was separated by several generations.

  Even so, if they had the Yan family to back them up, they wouldn’t have been able to gain access to Yan Jing so easily.

  However, the master they were talking about wasn’t afraid of the Yan family’s power and had touched Yan Jing.

  In other words, this master was a ruthless character.

  She was also a little curious. Who was that dirty, useless person they were talking about? What did it have to do with her?

  She poked her head out in curiosity and looked into the living room. Two tall men were sitting on the sofa. They were not bad-looking.

  Just as she thought, they were drinking wine. There were a few side dishes and peanuts on the glass coffee table in front of them.

  She glanced around the living room and saw the dirty man sitting in the corner of the sofa. Judging from his posture, he must have been hungry. He had been staring at the dishes on the glass coffee table, but yet did not dare to reach out for them.

  One of the men noticed Qin Hai’s gaze fixated on the dishes. He laughed coldly and said, “You brought this upon yourself. You are such scum with no talent to speak of.”


  The other man joined in the sneering. “If you had treated your other daughter well in the first place, not only might you have been the president of the company, you might also have made everyone in Jiangcheng fawn over Jiangcheng’s Lord Fu,” he said.

  “How can there be such a stupid person in the world? Penny-wise yet pound-foolish, only to realize in the end that what you had picked up were worthless pennies instead of big pounds,” one commented.

  “How could such a stupid person give birth to such an excellent daughter like Qin Shu?” chimed the other.

  “Perhaps she inherited Wen Xin’s strengths completely. Wen Xin was an exceptional woman who made the big shots in the corporate world look at her differently. She started from scratch and entered the top 500 in just a few short years. Unfortunately, she was almost defeated by him.”


  The man sitting in the corner was Qin Hai, who had been missing for a long time. Listening to the two men’s mocking words, his bloodshot eyes hidden beneath his unkempt hair instantly filled with dissatisfaction and hatred. His hands were tightly clenched into fists under his long sleeves. He gritted his teeth so hard that his dry lips cracked open.

  Remembering the past 20 years, he had gone from having nothing to becoming the chairman of the company through sheer, hard work. His wife was smart and capable, and his daughter was cute and witty. It looked like he had everything good going for him on the surface.

  No one knew the real truth behind the fa?ade.

  Now that he had nothing, he could not even fight back despite being ridiculed and criticized by others.

  It was all Qin Shu’s fault.

  He was still filled with regret. He should not have allowed Qin Shu to be born. If he had strangled her to death when she was younger, then he might not have ended up in this state.

  Qin Shu was stunned. She looked at the man sitting on the ground in disbelief. Upon hearing what had been said thus far, she had also guessed that the disheveled man was Qin Hai.

  Qin Hai had been missing for ages, and even Ye Luo could not find him. This meant that they were very secretive and cautious of his whereabouts.

  She did not have the slightest sympathy for Qin Hai’s fate.

  If he had a bit of conscience at that time, he would not have ended up like this.

  After the two men in the living room finished eating, they poured the leftovers on a plate and placed them on the ground in front of Qin Hai.

  “Eat. We still have to go to the square tomorrow,” they instructed him.

  Qin Hai had been starving for an entire day. He looked at the plate on the ground. The leftovers made up at most a small bowl’s portion. It had been this way for several days.

  After experiencing so much torture, it was already good enough that Qin Hai even had a bite to eat. How could he still afford to be picky?

  He wolfed down the leftovers on the plate in front of him. Right now, he only wanted to live. As long as he was alive, he would have a way to get out of his current situation.

  Qin Shu had eavesdropped for quite some time. Other than knowing the man inside was Qin Hai and that he had ended up like this because of her, Qin Shu still did not know the identity of the master they were talking about.

  Ye Luo, who had been waiting downstairs, kept his gaze positioned above. If he had been strong enough, he would not have had to let Qin Shu go up personally.

  However, Qin Shu had factually proven that his martial art strength was one level lower than her own.

  Qin Shu’s martial art strength had improved by leaps and bounds, which made others surprised and envious at the same time.

  Qin Shu came down from the 21st floor and only uttered two words. “Go back,” she said.

  The two figures quickly left Gu He Condominium.

  Ye Luo drove himself and Qin Shu to the International Square again after lunch the following day.

  The car was parked at the side. She looked out of the car window. There was still a group of people surrounding the place, just like yesterday. In retrospect, there were even more people today. The energy in the voices of discussion was also more highly-charged.

  “Even if such a scumbag kneels here every day, it won’t erase the sins he had committed.”


  “Exactly. He is dressed up decently but yet has done everything a scumbag could do.”


  “Hey, isn’t this the chairman of the Qin Group? Why is he kneeling here?”


  Qin Hai’s former competitor, President Wu, straight up recognized the man kneeling on the ground. He would not have passed up the opportunity to mock him.

  “You said he’s the chairman of the Qin Group?” Someone could not help but ask.

  As if he abruptly recalled, President Wu said, “Oh, no, the Qin Group had changed its name to the Wen Hua Group. As for Qin Hai, he was the former chairman before the group changed its name.”


  Today, Qin Hai was wearing a navy blue suit with a striped tie. His hair had also been tidied up. Apart from his somewhat haggard face and looking a little thinner, everything else looked all right.

  Those two men had brought him shopping and gotten his hair styled early in the morning. At first, he had thought he was meeting someone. It was only much later that he found out it was only to make him look even more ridiculous.

  Under such circumstances, it would be extremely embarrassing if Qin Hai bumped into someone he knew. He would have nowhere to hide his face and his dignity would be trampled under the soles of others’ feet.

  “Chairman Qin, let me take a photo of you and send it to everyone. Let all of us see how you look now.”


  As Chief Wu spoke, he had already taken out his phone. Just as he was about to take a photo of him, Qin Hai suddenly jumped up and pounced on Chief Wu, wanting to snatch the phone from his hand.

  In the end, the two men fought. Qin Hai had been tortured for so long and was no match for Chief Wu. He was pinned to the ground and suffered several punches.

  Qin Hai was finally dragged away by two random men watching the spectacle. The master had ordered Qin Hai to suffer a fate worse than death.

  This scene made Qin Shu even more confused as to who the master they were talking about was.

  After watching for a while, she suddenly opened the car door and got out, walking toward the two men.
