After Ye Qiu left, Wang Qiang and Brother Tian were sent to the hospital. Although they quickly received medical treatment, their hands and feet were still irreparable.
Ye Qiu, as the Demon King and the pinnacle of combat power in Huaxia, has a thorough understanding of the human body. He knows how to inflict specific injuries with precise force. Since he declared he would make them permanently lose a limb, he naturally meant what he said!
"Damn it!"
Upon receiving the hospital's verdict, Wang Qiang's eyes turned bloodshot, shouting furiously.
Without hands, he would be a worthless person for life!
In the same hospital room, Brother Tian said nothing, but his face was frighteningly grim, indicating his inner turmoil.
"Brother Tian, do you know any masters? I want to kill that bastard Ye Qiu!" At this moment, Wang Qiang was almost overwhelmed by anger, forgetting entirely that he had brought this ordeal upon himself.
"Masters?" Hearing this word, Brother Tian seemed to recall something, and a fierce expression flashed across his face. He said, "I do know of an organization, it's incredibly powerful!"
"Although we, the Celestial Dragon Gang, are the top gang in Jiangnan City, if we face this organization, we might be utterly defeated by them!"
"Oh?"
Brother Tian's words stunned Wang Qiang, as he had never heard of such a powerful organization in Jiangnan.
"I discovered this organization by chance. I've seen their skills. Those who join the organization, even if not as strong as Ye Qiu, won't be far off in power. Besides, the organization consists of more than one person; it's a group!"
"Great! Brother Tian, help me contact this organization; I want Ye Qiu dead!" Wang Qiang snarled fiercely.
"The price to hire someone from this organization is high!"
"Money? At this point, you're talking nonsense about money? While I lack other things, I have plenty of money!" Saying this, Wang Qiang finally smiled. But his smile looked more tragic than crying:
"As long as Ye Qiu can be killed, I'll pay any price necessary! Oh, and that bitch Lan Ying too! I want to kidnap her!"
"No problem, I'll contact them for you right away." Brother Tian seemed infected by Wang Qiang's rage, now equally impatient to kill Ye Qiu to quell his own hatred.
"By the way, what's the name of that organization you mentioned?"
"Blood Cross!"
...
The next morning, Ye Qiu got up as usual, heading to Bai Lan's villa to pick her up for work.
"Beep beep beep!"
On the way, Ye Qiu received another call from Song Sisi.
"Hey, Ye Qiu, don't forget about tonight's class reunion." As soon as the call connected, Song Sisi's voice rang out.
"Yes, I'll definitely be on time."
"Also, don't forget to bring a date."
"Um, I didn't have a chance to mention last time, but I don't have a date."
Talking about a date made Ye Qiu's head hurt!
After graduating junior high, he joined the army. Besides his comrades, he rarely interacted with women, except for intentional contact during missions.
"No date? Impossible, right? In junior high, you were quite a handsome guy with many girls chasing you. How can you not have a girlfriend?" Clearly, Song Sisi didn't believe Ye Qiu's words.
"I really don't have one..."
Ye Qiu was a bit unsatisfied. What's going on these days? No one believes the truth.
"Okay, stop pretending. All our classmates are bringing someone; you'd be the only one not bringing a date—how would that look? Alright, I won't say more, I've got some things to handle, hanging up now."
"Hey, hey hey..."
"Beep..."
Before Ye Qiu could say more, a busy tone came from the phone.
"This is ridiculous; now being single is somehow wrong?" Ye Qiu said, feeling like crying without tears.
"What's wrong?"
At this point, Bai Lan, sitting behind Ye Qiu, spoke up.
Her tone was indifferent, seemingly uninterested and merely asking casually.
"It's nothing major, just that my junior high classmates invited me for a gathering tonight at the Hyatt Hotel. They want me to bring a date, but where am I supposed to find one?" Ye Qiu said, a bit frustrated: "I told them I don't have a girlfriend, but they just don't believe me."
Saying this, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Bai Lan:
"Um, President Bai, could you pretend to be my girlfriend tonight and accompany me to the class reunion?"
Bai Lan casually glanced at Ye Qiu without saying a word, then turned her head to look out the window.
"..."
Ye Qiu felt a bit awkward and helpless.
"Sigh!"
He sighed without saying more, knowing it was unlikely Bai Lan would agree. After all, she was his boss, and what boss would agree to pretend to be their employee's girlfriend?
Quickly, the car arrived at Bai Group, and Bai Lan didn't say a word the entire time, directly getting off and walking into the company.
After parking the car, Ye Qiu followed her into Bai Group.
Soon after entering, he encountered someone.
"Ye Qiu!"
At this moment, if one asked who Lan Ying hated the most, it would definitely be Ye Qiu. In her view, Ye Qiu was an unequivocal bastard, not only stealing her first kiss but also repeatedly taking advantage of her afterward.
And now, things have worsened. Because of yesterday's events, there are rumors throughout the company claiming she is Ye Qiu's girlfriend; now she feels it's impossible to clear her name.
"What's the matter with you? Such anger first thing in the morning!"
"You have the audacity to ask, bastard, you owe me an explanation!"
Ye Qiu's words ignited Lan Ying's anger; she immediately rushed to Ye Qiu, glaring at him with clenched teeth.
"Explanation? What explanation? I haven't done anything to you!"
"You... shameless!"
Lan Ying trembled with rage. She had seen shameless people before, but none as shameless as Ye Qiu. He kissed and touched her yet claims he did nothing? How could his face be so thick? It's thicker than a city wall!
"Hey, hey, hey, you better tell me clearly, how am I shameless?"
"You, you... Everyone in Bai Group is talking about us; you've truly ruined me now!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Qiu paused, then laughed: "Isn't that what you wanted? Don't forget, you were the one claiming I was your boyfriend!"
"You bastard!"
Saying this, Lan Ying's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up.
