Qin Xuan touched his chin.
Back then, the Qin family was such a colossal power.
They could firmly hold the top position among the five great families in the capital.
And the force that brought down the Qin family with the speed of a storm could never have been achieved by just one Chu family and Yin Ren.
Qin Xuan realized that the events of that year were far from simple.
He got into the car with Wu San. Although the man's attitude wasn't great, the treatment was acceptable.
They both got into a luxury MPV, which slowly drove towards the exit of the parking lot.
"Damn it, can even the airport parking lot get jammed?" Wu San cursed, but his honking was relentless, pressing the horn non-stop.
Before long, the entire parking lot was filled with the sound of honking.
"Damn."
He parked the car, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out as soon as he opened the door. He wanted to see what the situation was up ahead.
Qin Xuan felt a bit helpless. Why was his luck so bad today?
He felt like everything was going wrong.
Seeing that Wu San didn't return after two or three minutes, Qin Xuan simply opened the car door and went to take a look himself.
As he approached, he realized it was a fender bender.
A girl's suitcase had left a white mark on the front bumper of a small Mercedes.
Qin Xuan didn't recognize the girl, but the person who got out of the small Mercedes was someone he "knew."
It was the branded man who had been spewing foul language several times earlier.
"Little sister, my car is worth hundreds of thousands. You've scraped it, and I'll need to repaint the whole side. It'll cost a few thousand at the 4S shop, can't be less."
The girl looked quite demure. It was a cold day, yet she was wearing knee-high boots with bare legs, a gray dress, and a white trench coat. She spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"You clearly crashed into me. I was walking on the road, and you came and hit my suitcase."
"Little sister, let's be reasonable. The exit of a parking lot is for cars. Why are you loitering here with a suitcase?" The branded man smirked wickedly.
"Let's not waste everyone's time. Everyone behind us is waiting. Get in my car, and we'll resolve this issue."
The girl, upon hearing this, visibly tensed and took two steps back.
"No."
"No? Then pay up. Two thousand. Not a penny less."
The branded man and the girl were haggling back and forth, and the cars were thus blocked.
The warrior who came to pick up Qin Xuan was also short-tempered. He yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Hurry up, you're dawdling! Everyone behind is waiting!"
"See, little sister?" The branded man pointed at the long line of cars.
"You and I have been delaying things for so long. Listen to your brother, get in the car, and we'll sort this out. Don't worry, you won't be at a loss."
If the girl could be easily swayed by the branded man's words, she wouldn't have lasted until now.
Biting her red lips, she kept shaking her head.
Seeing the girl's shy demeanor, the branded man's base desires flared up intensely.
He took two steps closer, leaned in, and whispered,
"If you spend the night with me, this matter will be resolved."
The girl stumbled back two steps, placed her suitcase on the ground, and cupped her hands over her chest.
"No, are you done yet?"
"Are you a man or not? Be quick about it."
"Guys, we've been waiting here for ages. Hurry up and move your cars. You can do whatever you want on the side."
A crowd of people were chattering loudly, which made the branded man irritable.
His eyes narrowed, and he roared,
"What are you shouting about? You'll all move when I'm done resolving this."
Wu San couldn't stand it anymore. He never tolerated people like this.
"Who the hell are you, to make me wait here!" The branded man's gaze fixed on Wu San, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"I am from the Xiao family. Xiao Yi Ying. If you have a problem, take it up with my Xiao family."
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in unison.
"This kid is from the Xiao family."
No wonder he was so arrogant; he was from the Xiao family.
