Chapter 7472
This place is not safe to stay.
Qin Shanhe panicked, he really panicked.
For many years, he had held the position of president of the new martial arts association in the capital, wielding immense power. He had long since developed a composure that remained unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. However, ever since that young man named Xiao Chen suddenly appeared, the whole situation seemed to have begun to slip out of his control.
First, Xiao Chen reshuffled the top forces in Linhai overnight, and then the turmoil spread to the western region. Dan Sheng Group defected, the cooperation of Xinwu Association broke down, and now his most beloved only son has deliberately run into Xiao Chen's gun.
If Xiao Chen really makes a move against Qin Mu, the Qin family line will be cut off; if Xiao Chen takes this opportunity to set foot in the capital, will the fate of the capital also change because of him?
Qin Shanhe pondered for a moment, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He picked up the phone again and dialed a number he didn't want to contact easily: Zhuang Yuan, the garrison commander of the Western Region.
The moment the call connected, Qin Shanhe suppressed his anger, his tone icy, carrying a blatant threat:
“Zhuang Town Commander, I, Qin Shanhe, respect you. The Imperial Capital New Martial Arts Association and your Western Region Commander’s Office have always kept to themselves.”
"Today, I hope you can warn Xiao Chen on my behalf: if he dares to lay a finger on my son Qin Mu, I, Qin Shanhe, swear here and now that I will use all the power of the New Martial Arts Association to make him wish he were dead! I will make the entire Northwest pay for his death!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Yuan's voice carried a hint of helplessness, yet also an undeniable firmness:
"President Qin, I hope you understand one thing: Mr. Xiao is not my subordinate, much less someone who acts on my orders. My personal attitude in this matter is none of your business, nor can I interfere with Mr. Xiao's decision."
"You must have heard about Mr. Xiao's temper. He is always vengeful and ruthless. I, Zhuang, cannot stop him. Chairman Qin, you'd better watch yourself."
"Click".
He said a simple sentence and then hung up the phone, leaving only a cold busy tone on the receiver.
"Oh!"
Unable to contain his rage any longer, Qin Shanhe slammed a powerful punch, imbued with deep inner strength, onto the heavy solid wood desk.
With a muffled thud, a deep dent was punched into the hard tabletop, splinters flew everywhere, and documents and ornaments were scattered all over the floor.
The overwhelming rage almost burst through the office roof, causing the leaves outside the window to tremble slightly.
He clenched his fists so tightly that the pain of his knuckles breaking was nothing compared to the rage and helplessness he felt at that moment. For the first time, he felt that the power he held was so pale and powerless in front of Xiao Chen.
……
In the western region, beside the auxiliary road leading to the capital, lies the parking lot of a hidden high-end entertainment venue.
Qin Mu was embracing two scantily clad women, laughing smugly, when he was forcibly pulled out of the private room by several family elders with solemn expressions and heavy auras.
He impatiently shook off the offering's hand, touching his wrist, still wrapped in gauze and throbbing with pain, where Xiao Chen had broken the bone. Although the Qin family's secret medicine would help him recover quickly, the excruciating pain and the humiliation of being publicly shamed were like a poisonous thorn, stuck deep in his heart, burning day and night, impossible to shake off.
He is Qin Shanhe's only son, a star in the capital's social circles!
In the capital, within the circles of special forces, who wouldn't show him deference, and who wouldn't act according to the Qin family's wishes?
That country bumpkin named Xiao Chen is nothing but a bumpkin from the Northwest. How dare he embarrass himself in public and even break his hand!
As for the Dansheng Group, although there was no direct evidence, he was absolutely certain in his heart that it was Xiao Chen who was behind it!
If it weren't for Xiao Chen, why would Dansheng Group suddenly terminate its cooperation with Xinwu Association, and why would he lose face in front of Shen Yingying?
"Young Master, please get in the car quickly. This place is not safe to stay any longer. The Chairman has ordered us to escort you back to the capital immediately!"
An elderly man with gray hair and a deep, resolute air, strode forward and opened the door of a modified black SUV for him, his tone solemn and leaving no room for doubt.
Qin Mu turned around, glared fiercely at the road sign for the "Western Region Boundary" not far away, and a venomous flame burned in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath: "Xiao Chen! You damned bastard! You country bumpkin!"
"The humiliation I've inflicted today, I will repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold in the future! If you dare to set foot in the capital, I will not only personally kill you and grind your bones to dust, but I will also capture those two women beside you and make you watch them be..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice, cold and devoid of any human emotion, like a ghostly whisper from the deepest hell, exploded behind him without warning:
"Unfortunately, you won't live to see that day."
The moment Qin Mu heard that voice, his blood froze instantly, as if he had fallen into an eternal ice cave. He even stopped breathing for half a second, and every hair on his body stood on end!
That voice… even if he were reduced to ashes, he would never forget it! It was Xiao Chen! The fiend who trampled him underfoot and humiliated him in public!
His whole body stiffened, and he almost lost all the strength to turn around. Driven by a survival instinct, he suddenly spun around.
Under the dim streetlights, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the parking lot. His face was as cold and stern as an ice sculpture, his eyes were like an ancient, icy pool, and his sharp gaze seemed to pierce through people's hearts. His lips were pursed into a cold, straight line.
The indifference and murderous aura surrounding him were so heavy that they were suffocating. Every step he took felt like stepping on the tip of one's heart, making one's mind tremble.
Xiao Chen! It really is him!
The expressions of the other Qin family elders changed drastically at that moment. Their pupils shrank to pinpoints, and their auras instantly tightened. The thing they feared most had finally happened! Xiao Chen had actually caught up with them!
"Protect the young master!" The white-haired old man at the head reacted the fastest. Without thinking, he shoved the stunned Qin Mu into the SUV with a backhand slap, slamming the bulletproof door shut with a loud bang. His tone was full of urgency and determination!
"Drive! Drive as fast as you can! We'll hold him off!" The old man roared at the driver's seat, his voice cracking, his aura surging.
The off-road vehicle's engine roared violently, its tires screeching against the ground and emitting plumes of black smoke. The vehicle lurched forward, shooting towards the highway entrance like an arrow, desperately trying to break through!
However, just as the car accelerated, Xiao Chen didn't even lift his eyelids. With a slight flick of his wrist, several thin, hair-like silver rays, gleaming with a cold light, suddenly shot out.
Instead of aiming at the vulnerable tires, he precisely pierced the connection points of critical components such as the gearbox and steering shaft under the car!
"Sizzle, snap!"
A deafeningly harsh sound of metal twisting and cracking suddenly rang out, making one's teeth ache.
The SUV, which had been speeding along, suddenly became like a wild horse, completely out of control. The front of the vehicle veered sharply to the side and crashed violently into a concrete barrier on the roadside. (End of Chapter)
