Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Leaving You an Intact Corpse

Indeed, Jiang Qumei was Dai Zhenghao’s maternal aunt, and it was precisely because of this relationship that Dai Zhenghao, a local strongman, was able to stand tall under Qin Zhanwu’s nose in Jiang City for many years without falling.

In consideration of the Jiang City Marquis’s face, Jiang Qumei generally did not allow Dai Zhenghao to publicly call her "auntie," but now, to save his own life, Dai Zhenghao could no longer afford to care about such proprieties!

Upon hearing Dai Zhenghao address her in such a manner, Jiang Qumei’s beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

As for this nephew by marriage, Jiang Qumei had always been quite vexed, but due to familial ties, she could only support him from the sidelines, and she had not spared any effort in speaking well of him to Qin Zhanwu, just to keep him safe.

Unfortunately, this time, Jiang Qumei was well aware of the importance Chen Fengchuo held in Qin Zhanwu’s eyes, as well as his desire to win him over.

She was even willing to offer her own daughter to him in hope of collaboration, so how much less would she care about Dai Zhenghao, who was merely her nephew by marriage?

Therefore, this time, even Jiang Qumei dared not stick her neck out for her nephew.

"Dai Zhenghao, I have warned you many times before to keep a low profile in your dealings. I never expected you to fail to repent time and time again!"

"You are my nephew by marriage, and by all rights, I should help you, but unfortunately this time you have committed a crime too grave, and even I cannot save you!"

"If there is anyone to blame, it’s that you have offended someone you shouldn’t have!"

Dai Zhenghao stood there stupefied.

A crime too grave? Offended someone who shouldn’t be offended?

Dai Zhenghao couldn’t understand at all. Wasn’t the one he offended today just a few ordinary commoners?

He knew that even if he had offended the sons and daughters of officials, his aunt could have smoothed things over for him in the past, so what in the world was happening today?

The next moment, Dai Zhenghao suddenly realized something and looked towards Chen Xuan in front of him with a look of terrified awareness.

Qin Zhanwu had personally said that Chen Xuan was his distinguished guest.

There was only one possibility: the young man before him was someone Qin Zhanwu himself wanted to ingratiate and please, so much so that not even his aunt dared to stand up for him!

Having realized all this, Dai Zhenghao was filled with immense regret.

He was just too unlucky, wasn’t he? Who would have thought that a mere passerby he casually provoked turned out to be someone that not even the Jiang City Marquis would dare to offend!

"Auntie, I know I was wrong. Uncle, please give me another chance, I beg you, uncle!"

Dai Zhenghao pleaded repeatedly.

Qin Zhanwu, however, did not even spare a glance, "Out of respect for your aunt, I will leave you a whole corpse. Take him away!"

Qin San spared no further words, raised a hand, and immediately someone dragged Dai Zhenghao away.

Along with Dai Zhenghao, his followers were also taken away, and they were about to face an incredibly tragic end.

Hearing the piercing screams of Dai Zhenghao and his followers, Zhong Ling and Gu Ruirui were filled with dread.

They were all from ordinary families and had never seen such ruthlessness.

With a single command, lives could be taken and limbs broken; this was simply too unbelievable.

In fact, this was only because Zhong Ling and the others had always lived in an ordinary society and had rarely come into contact with this deeper, more complex side of the world.

This world was much more dangerous than they could possibly imagine!

"Doctor Chen, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here!"

After sending Dai Zhenghao away, Jiang Qumei came to Chen Xuan with a smiling face.

Having been at Qin Zhanwu’s side for many years, she was accustomed to seeing turbulent scenes and didn’t take Dai Zhenghao’s death too seriously, simply regarding it as an insignificant side event.

"Come, let me introduce, this is my husband, Old Qin!"

"Old Qin, this is the Doctor Chen from Huai City I mentioned to you before!"

The usually imposing Qin Zhanwu now also wore a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Doctor Chen, last time you cured Qumei’s facial injury, I really can’t thank you enough!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Marquis, you are too kind. It was but a minor effort, hardly worth mentioning."

Qin Zhanwu laughed heartily, "Qumei has always loved beauty the most. It might seem trivial to you, but for my wife, this was a matter of utmost importance!"

Jiang Qumei also hurried to speak, "Doctor Chen, last time I left in such a hurry and didn’t have the chance to thank you. Today, we’ve met by chance. I wonder if you could honor us by joining us in a private booth for a chat?"

"Ah? This..." Chen Xuan hesitated, considering how to refuse.

By now, he could almost be certain that Jiang Qumei and Qin Zhanwu had already found out about his identity, which was why they were being so courteous to him.

To be honest, Chen Xuan really didn’t want to have too much contact with people from the four major families to the east, west, south, and north, for fear that it would bring unnecessary trouble to him in the future.

"Doctor Chen, this is Jiang City, our own territory. You must give us this chance to show you our hospitality," Qin Zhanwu said, fearing that Chen Xuan might refuse.

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh internally.

The man, Qin Zhanwu, being the esteemed Jiang City Marquis, had gone out of his way to save face for himself, first by having his own nephew thrown to the dogs, and now by extending such a warm invitation.

Under these circumstances, if Chen Xuan were to refuse again, it would be quite a lack of tact.

Left with no choice, Chen Xuan reluctantly nodded, "Well then, I shall impose on the Marquis!"

After speaking, Chen Xuan approached Han Jingting, "Jingting, would you like to come in with me?"

"Who is this lady?" Jiang Qumei casually asked.

"Oh, this is my wife, Han Jingting!" Chen Xuan introduced.

Jiang Qumei’s gaze swept over Han Jingting, her eyes lighting up immediately.

Jiang Qumei, being someone extremely fond of beauty, had always had high aesthetic standards.

Yet the woman before her, both in appearance and temperament, completely met Jiang Qumei’s standards of beauty.

In fact, in Jiang Qumei’s many years of experience, the number of women who could compare to the one standing before her was very few!

"Doctor Chen is truly fortunate to have married such a nation’s beauty! Truly a case of a talented man and a beautiful woman!"

Jiang Qumei complimented with a smile.

"You flatter us too much, Lady!" Chen Xuan modestly replied.

Jiang Qumei’s smile was radiant.

In fact, she had already investigated Chen Xuan’s family background beforehand.

Previously, she learned that Chen Xuan had married into the Han Family and that his life afterward had been rather unpleasant; even his wife looked down on him. The relationship between husband and wife was very cold, to the point where they nearly divorced.

At the time, Jiang Qumei wondered how Chen Xuan, as talented and brilliant as Chen Fengchu, could endure such a hostile environment.

Now that she had seen Han Jingting, she seemed to have come to a realization.

It seemed that Chen Fengchu, no matter how talented and outstanding, was merely a man of the world after all. He too could bow his head for a beautiful exterior!
