Chapter Ninety-Four: Heavenly Reinforcements

Xiangzi, the buzz-cut man, wrenched open the driver’s door and jumped down, pretending to inspect the scratch on it as he threw on a ferocious look. At his shout, the other three buzz-cut youths immediately closed in as well, each one adopting a textbook thug’s stance. Xiangzi even delivered a vicious kick to the wardrobe. A clear footprint bloomed at once on its surface. The wardrobe had only just been set upright; although that kick did not send the heavy thing toppling again, it was enough to make Qin Lianshan and the others lose their footing and let go involuntarily.

“What are you blind for? My car is brand new! And you just went and scratched it like this! Do you know what that means? I’ll have to repaint the whole thing!”

Qin Lianshan wiped the sweat from his brow and said with an apologetic smile, “Young man, you can see it yourself. We didn’t do it on purpose. Just now someone suddenly ran out and bumped into this load, and that’s how this happened. We didn’t want this either...”

Xiangzi cut him off at once. “Cut the crap! I don’t care who bumped into you. All I know is that you scratched my car. Decide for yourselves: do we take this through the authorities, or settle it privately? If we go official, I’ll call the police right now, and you’ll still have to pay. If you want to settle privately, I won’t make things hard for you. Hand over ten thousand yuan, and I’ll pretend this never happened!”

In step with Xiangzi’s threat, the other three men cracked their knuckles loudly, making the whole scene seem almost absurd.

Animals always like to prove their strength by crushing their own kind. It is an instinct of life, and even human beings, who are said to possess the highest intelligence, often behave like beasts.

Qin Anyi was wandering aimlessly down the street. One moment Wang Yiran’s quiet, breathtaking face drifted through his mind; the next, Zheng Sining’s seductive, alluring figure swayed there instead. The images of the two beauties kept colliding and flashing in his thoughts.

A virgin’s heart was always so easily stirred, especially in a season like this...

Though the city lay with the sea on three sides and enjoyed a pleasant climate, Changqing City still had a few days every year when the heat could drive people to the brink of collapse. On days like that, even the desire to look at girls’ pale legs on the street would vanish without a trace. Besides, true beauties rarely appeared in public in such weather. The risk of getting sunburned was a flaw they could not bear. On a day like this, finding some tall, rich, handsome man and checking into a luxury suite at a five-star hotel, then drinking champagne and doing the things lovers do, was probably the better choice for a rich, beautiful girl.

So Qin Anyi walked on in great boredom. There was not even a single point on the entire street that could catch his eye.

“Young man, we really don’t have any money... ow!”

A few broken cries of pain suddenly came from not far away. Qin Anyi instinctively stopped in his tracks. His drifting thoughts were pulled back at once.

That voice sounded so familiar...

Dad?

Qin Anyi’s eyes widened. He spun around and rushed toward the sound.

After running some dozens of meters, a scene came into view that made Qin Anyi’s anger flare up at once.

“Damn it!”

Without the slightest hesitation, he lunged forward.

“An... Anyi? What are you doing here?”

Seeing his son appear as if from the heavens, Qin Lianshan asked in astonishment.

“Dad, are you all right?”
