After giving the money, Qin Xuan didn't want to stay any longer. He guessed that in a few days, the Luochuan City Morning News would report another fraud case.
Sighing helplessly, Qin Xuan left the residential compound.
Meanwhile, Zou Lifen, still holding the invoice the man with glasses had given her, excitedly went home, anticipating the ten million yuan to be deposited into her bank account.
After leaving the compound, Qin Xuan didn't take a taxi to find Wang Yuyan.
They had only parted ways a short while ago, and Qin Xuan wanted some peace and quiet.
This was Luochuan City, not Jiangbei City, so fewer people would likely know Wang Yuyan.
If he were constantly with Wang Yuyan, she would probably become even more reckless, possibly even dragging him to a love hotel.
Although Qin Xuan did have some feelings for Wang Yuyan, he still felt a bit hesitant about taking things to that level.
On such a hot day, under the scorching sun, even though Qin Xuan was a cultivator, he couldn't withstand the forty-degree Celsius heat.
Qin Xuan looked around and found a coffee shop.
Speaking of coffee, Qin Xuan hadn't had any in three to four years.
With Wang Yuyan wearing the protective talisman he gave her, she would be fine.
Qin Xuan entered the coffee shop to have some coffee and enjoy some peace. He knew he would likely be by Wang Yuyan's side for the next few days, so he wanted to savor this time when she wasn't around.
He casually found a comfortable seat and was about to order a latte when a woman approached him, linked her arm through his, and whispered in his ear,
"Handsome guy, please help me."
Qin Xuan was startled. Just as he was about to speak, another man in a suit, who looked somewhat refined, arrived.
"Xiong Ziyi, you're not going to say this is your boyfriend, are you?" the man asked, crossing his arms and looking at Qin Xuan with disdain.
"Yes, he is my boyfriend, so Liu Junjiang, please stop bothering me," the woman named Xiong Ziyi said intimately, holding Qin Xuan's arm.
Liu Junjiang chuckled lightly.
"Ziyi, even if you want to find someone as a shield, do you have to pick such a loser?"
Qin Xuan's expression darkened at his words.
He had been confused at first, but after hearing their conversation, he understood.
This man was the woman's suitor, and this woman either didn't like him or was having a disagreement. Since the coffee shop was empty, she had turned to him for help.
The woman was quite beautiful, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and well-defined features. While not as stunning as Tantai Yue or Wang Yuyan, she was still a great beauty.
Any normal man in this situation would have stepped forward, played the hero, acted cool as a shield for the woman, and perhaps gained her affection and their contact information, leading to a potential romance.
However, Qin Xuan wanted no part in it. He wasn't that bored.
There weren't that many opportunities to show off in the world, and what if he offended someone powerful and wealthy, leading to retaliation?
Qin Xuan himself wasn't afraid, but he had his weaknesses.
His weaknesses were naturally the two people who had recently gotten into trouble, and his sister.
Although acting the hero now might win the beautiful woman's favor, it wasn't necessary.
Qin Xuan wasn't the type of person who couldn't move when he saw a beautiful woman.
Even putting that aside, Qin Xuan already had a wife, and a confidante, Wang Yuyan, who was constantly pestering him and whose relationship with him was unclear.
Sometimes, if there's no need to show off, don't. It's meaningless.
Qin Xuan directly pulled his hand away, stood up, and said coldly to Liu Junjiang,
"I don't know this lady. She just came up to me and asked me to be a shield for her. I don't want to get involved in this."
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Xiong Ziyi was taken aback.
She had never expected the script to unfold this way.
Even if they didn't know each other, couldn't she help her, a great beauty?
