Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Smiling Tiger
Qin Tuo was preparing to head to Chen Wenxiong’s house to settle this matter with him.
Just as he stepped out of Hong Lou, he saw a familiar face.
The moment he saw this person, Qin Tuo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Ahead of him, Xu Min was walking over, arm in arm with an unfamiliar man.
Xu Min was dressed gaudily and walked with a swagger, her face plastered with a fawning, sycophantic smile.
The man, on the other hand, had a brazen look on his face, and his eyes were somewhat sinister.
Qin Tuo had no intention of engaging with Xu Min, but she spotted him instantly.
Xu Min’s eyes lit up, and she immediately walked up to him.
"Well, well, if it isn’t the ex-convict? Talk about a small world. I can’t believe I ran into you here!"
She struck a haughty pose, the disdain in her eyes obvious.
"Xu Min, you’re like a ghost that won’t go away."
Qin Tuo said coldly.
Xu Min just laughed, not caring at all.
She then took the initiative to introduce Jiang Liang, who was standing beside her.
"Ex-con, let me give you a formal introduction. This is the young master of the Provincial City Jiang Family. Aren’t you going to properly greet Young Master Jiang?"
That overbearing air returned to Xu Min, and Qin Tuo sneered inwardly.
’Thank goodness I didn’t marry this materialistic woman,’ he thought. ’I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.’
Jiang Liang sized up Qin Tuo, a fake smile on his face.
"Qin Tuo, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Jiang Liang, from the Provincial City Jiang Family."
Looking at Jiang Liang’s beaming face, Qin Tuo felt an instinctive revulsion toward him.
With his insight, Qin Tuo could tell at a glance that Jiang Liang was a classic smiling tiger.
Qin Tuo had no desire to acknowledge him, but Jiang Liang stepped forward and extended his hand for a handshake.
Qin Tuo couldn’t help but take a serious look at Jiang Liang.
Jiang Liang’s eyes were smiling, but they also held a strange, unreadable meaning.
Seeing Qin Tuo’s lack of response, Xu Min couldn’t help but scold him coldly:
"Qin Tuo, what are you spacing out for? It’s your highest honor that Young Master Jiang is offering you a handshake!"
Qin Tuo snorted and casually extended his hand.
However, the moment their hands clasped, he immediately felt a powerful force.
Looking up, he saw Jiang Liang’s eyes, not quite smiling, filled with a mocking expression!
It turned out Jiang Liang had been a soldier for a few years and possessed considerable brute strength, so he wanted to put Qin Tuo in his place right from the start.
Qin Tuo immediately saw through Jiang Liang’s petty trick. His expression remained unchanged as he gradually increased the pressure in his hand.
At this, Jiang Liang’s expression immediately turned to one of surprise, his eyes widening.
He felt that Qin Tuo’s strength was far greater than his own; his fingers were on the verge of being crushed out of shape.
Jiang Liang grit his teeth, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.
Qin Tuo, however, wore a smile, looking completely at ease.
But Jiang Liang refused to admit defeat. He knew that the moment he did, he would completely lose his domineering edge!
Because of this, Jiang Liang could only bite the bullet and endure the pain.
Finally, Jiang Liang could no longer bear it. He felt as if his fingers were about to be completely crushed.
"Mr. Qin..."
Jiang Liang finally managed to force the words out, and only then did Qin Tuo slowly release his hand.
Then, Qin Tuo patted Jiang Liang’s shoulder and said thoughtfully,
"Not bad, kid. You’re pretty strong!"
With that, Qin Tuo ignored the two of them and turned to leave.
Jiang Liang, however, was flushed with shame and anger, and a murderous intent gradually rose in his heart!
He looked at his hand, which was nearly deformed, and couldn’t help but curse in anger.
"That damn brat actually has some skill. No wonder that loser Xu Chao lost to him!"
Hearing this, Xu Min’s face filled with worry, and she couldn’t help but ask:
"Young Master Jiang, can you handle Qin Tuo?"
She had been counting on Jiang Liang as her backer, hoping to finally redeem herself in front of Qin Tuo.
But now, seeing Jiang Liang get the short end of the stick, she couldn’t help but feel an instinctive worry.
Jiang Liang asked,
"Has that kid always been this strong?"
Xu Min slowly shook her head, recalling.
"No, he used to be a total loser. But ever since he got out of prison, it’s like he’s a completely different person."
Jiang Liang’s face was grim. He then let out a cold snort.
"Heh, so what if he’s all brawn? Just watch how I’m going to destroy him!"
Seeing Jiang Liang’s confidence, Xu Min felt completely reassured.
Jiang Liang then asked:
"Has that kid Zhao Peng arrived yet?"
Xu Min nodded quickly and said,
"He’s already waiting in the private room."
Xu Min was feeling a little excited now, because she had a rough idea of Jiang Liang’s plan.
Xu Min had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Soon, she could pay back all the frustration and resentment she had endured these past days.
Jiang Liang nodded in satisfaction and said through gritted teeth,
"Once I’ve finalized the plan, we’ll kidnap that girl Chen Man Ni. Then I’ll make that brat Qin Tuo wish he were dead!"
Xu Min’s face immediately flushed with excitement.
...
「Chen Family Villa.」
When Qin Tuo arrived, Chen Wenxiong immediately came out to greet him.
"Mr. Qin!"
Chen Wenxiong hurriedly called for a servant to bring tea.
Just then, Chen Man Ni also noticed Qin Tuo’s arrival and hurried over.
"Qin Tuo, what brings you here today?"
Chen Man Ni asked, taking Qin Tuo’s arm.
Qin Tuo smiled and said,
"I came today to give your dad something!"
Qin Tuo took out a specially made medicinal pill.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, what is this?"
Chen Wenxiong asked curiously, his face full of confusion.
Qin Tuo said mysteriously,
"This is a medicinal pill I refined for you. If you take it, you’ll experience an unexpected effect."
Chen Wenxiong nodded repeatedly, having absolute trust in Qin Tuo.
Shortly after he swallowed the pill, he felt a wondrous change sweep over his entire body.
The burden on his body instantly lightened, and his vitality was restored at a visible rate!
"Heavens, Mr. Qin, this pill is incredible! I feel like I’ve become ten years younger!"
Chen Wenxiong exclaimed in amazement, clicking his tongue in wonder.
Chen Man Ni, who was standing to the side, was also incredibly happy. She was well aware that her dad’s health had been poor; after all, given his age, he was on a steady decline day by day.
But now, after taking this pill, it was obvious that Chen Wenxiong’s entire disposition had changed completely.
Chen Man Ni couldn’t help but say excitedly,
"Qin Tuo, you’ve really done me a huge favor. How about this? I’ll treat you to dinner later to thank you properly. What do you say?"
