Chapter 184: Chapter 184 I Won’t Pin You Against the Wall

Hearing Su Xuejiao’s words, Qin Tian was completely stunned.

Seeing Qin Tian’s dazed expression, Su Xuejiao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qin Tian, feed me a bite, just one bite."

"Ah?"

Qin Tian scratched his head and subconsciously looked up at Murong Fei’s room upstairs, saying, "These chopsticks of mine have been used by me; that’s not really appropriate..."

"I don’t mind, do you?"

With an innocent look on her face, Su Xuejiao said, "You’re not sick, I’m not afraid. Besides, it’s just one bite to taste."

After speaking, Su Xuejiao gave Qin Tian a questioning look. The girl pursed her lips at Qin Tian in an adorable manner, and Qin Tian really had no way to refuse.

"Alright, you can taste it."

Qin Tian picked up a chopstick full of rice and brought it to Su Xuejiao’s mouth.

Su Xuejiao opened her cherry lips, looked at Qin Tian with a grin, and ate the fried rice.

"Cough cough..."

Just then, a light cough from Murong Fei suddenly came from upstairs.

Both turned their heads from the couch—

They saw Murong Fei, who was standing at the railing on the second floor, looking at them!

Qin Tian instantly felt a bit confused and, for some reason, a bit nervous inside. He quickly retracted his hand.

When Su Xuejiao saw Murong Fei, a flush also flew up her face, and she immediately took a deep breath, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Murong Fei just stood on the second floor gazing at the two of them, silent for several seconds without a word.

Qin Tian felt more and more embarrassed and wondered, "What the heck, I’m not her husband, why am I getting nervous? She doesn’t like me anyway, and even if she sees me feeding her sister... she won’t get jealous."

With that thought in mind, Qin Tian acted as if nothing had happened and went to wash dishes in the kitchen.

"Xuejiao, you should go upstairs to review your lessons."

Murong Fei’s tone was cold, and as she spoke, she had already come downstairs in her high heels.

"Oh."

Facing Murong Fei’s serious expression, Su Xuejiao dared not say anything else, pouting her lips and going upstairs.

Qin Tian was washing dishes in the kitchen when the sound of high heels gradually approached from behind, getting closer—Murong Fei had come into the kitchen.

Qin Tian took a deep breath and pretended as if nothing had happened.

"Qin Tian, put the bowl in your hands aside for a moment,"

Murong Fei commanded coldly from behind him.

Qin Tian was already somewhat familiar with Murong Fei’s temperament. Usually, when Murong Fei spoke coldly, it was a sign she was angry.

However, Qin Tian was bewildered. It was early in the morning, he hadn’t provoked her, what was she angry about?

Could it be because she saw me feeding her sister? That would be making a mountain out of a molehill!

Qin Tian shook his hands and turned to look at Murong Fei as if nothing had happened, saying, "Director Fei, is there something wrong?"

Their gazes met; Murong Fei stared straight at Qin Tian, unrestrained, which even made him feel a bit guilty.

"Director Fei, why are you looking at me like that... so early in the morning, don’t look at me with that kind of gaze..."

"I’m asking you, was it you who did the Tianyuan Group incident!"

Before Qin Tian could finish speaking, Murong Fei interrupted him seriously, her tone carrying a businesswoman’s accusatory undertone.

"What happened?"

Qin Tian did not directly answer the question.

"I heard the news this morning too. They say the Tianyuan Group’s warehouse and logistics center have been set on fire. Haha, that’s called getting what’s coming to them. What’s wrong, Director Fei, aren’t you happy that Tianyuan Group burned down?"

Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei with a meaningful gaze, prompting her to finally shift her gaze away.

She paced back and forth in the kitchen for two steps and then, looking back at Qin Tian with anger, demanded, "Answer me directly, did you do it?!"

The kitchen fell silent for a moment.

After Murong Fei finished speaking, she took a deep breath, showing that she was truly angry.

"I did it."

Since he had done it, Qin Tian wasn’t going to deny it.

"Hmph, so it was really you!"

Upon hearing his words, Murong Fei furrowed her brows and then shook her head, appearing very agitated.

She paced again and angrily said, "Why did you do it? Why?"

Locking eyes on Qin Tian again, Murong Fei continued, "I’ve already warned you. Sun Tianba and his people have done illegal things, but we can’t do that. We can’t become people like them, like the Black Society! I want to be a legitimate businessperson; I don’t want the Murong Group’s reputation to be ruined on my watch. Qin Tian, who asked you to meddle in this?!"

Murong Fei got increasingly agitated, and by the end, it was not so much a question as it was an angry scolding.

"You’re such a bastard! A meddling bastard!"

"The Brother Alliance is the Black Society, and so are you!"

She bit her lip in anger, hesitated for a moment, then, with a flick of her hand, walked out of the kitchen into the living room.

Qin Tian stood in place for a few seconds, a surge of anger rising within him. I retaliated against Tianyuan Group for the sake of Murong Group, and you accuse me of meddling?

"Murong Fei!"

Following Murong Fei into the hall, Qin Tian’s voice was loud, "Don’t bite the hand that feeds you! I did this not for myself; get it straight!"

This was the first time in three months that Qin Tian had used Murong Fei’s full name.

With that, Murong Fei in the living room was also stunned.

She turned to look at Qin Tian, angrily retorting, "If not for yourself, then for whom? Tell me, whom are you committing crimes for, huh?"

"I did it for you!"

No sooner had Murong Fei’s words fallen than Qin Tian blurted out unexpectedly.

That sentence struck Murong Fei like a thunderclap, and in an instant, a chord touched within her heart; tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Qin Tian felt a sense of being wronged, which is why it all came rushing out.

However, after speaking, he immediately regretted it, thinking that by saying it was for her, perhaps she would see him even more as a man who makes excuses?

"I did it for your grandfather." After a few seconds of silence, Qin Tian’s tone deepened as he added, "Your grandfather and my old man are good friends. Here, your grandfather provides for my food and lodging, so I did all this to help the Murong Group."

"But you didn’t have to do something illegal."

Murong Fei pursed her lips, her black eyes filled with tears as she looked at Qin Tian.

After hearing Qin Tian’s compelling words, Murong Fei, for some reason, could no longer muster her anger; even her voice softened.

This wasn’t her usual temperamental style.

But at this moment, she really felt out of sorts.

"If you get caught by the police for your crimes, no one can save you; you’ll go to jail..."

She voiced her inner thoughts, "I... your grandfather... we don’t want anything to happen to you."

"Your grandfather, huh?"

In a flash, Qin Tian seemed to sense the implication in Murong Fei’s words and asked, "What about you?"

The atmosphere seemed to ease at that moment as Qin Tian’s gaze fixed intently on Murong Fei.

Murong Fei felt extremely embarrassed under Qin Tian’s gaze and snapped, "I’d love to see you behind bars!"

After speaking, she added seriously, "Qin Tian, I’m warning you, stop doing illegal things. The Brother Alliance is not something you can afford to provoke. Even Murong Group wouldn’t dare fight with them; they have their hands in both the light and the dark."

So she’s worried about me, Qin Tian realized, feeling a wave of relief and an inexplicable touch of emotion.

When Qin Tian had provoked the Qingyun Gang before, Murong Fei, though cold in his presence, had personally negotiated with the Azure Dragon Gang behind the scenes, even willing to spend millions to settle matters for Qin Tian.

It was the Qingyun Gang before, and now the Brother Alliance; Murong Fei showed the same anger and the same concern for Qin Tian.

But this time, Qin Tian almost misunderstood, nearly getting a bit angry himself.

"This woman, used to being a CEO with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, shows concern for me by scolding me. That’s quite... creative."

Looking at Murong Fei’s clear, watery eyes, Qin Tian smiled faintly.

"You can still smile? Are you crazy?" Murong Fei said irritably.

Qin Tian slowly walked towards Murong Fei, closing the distance between them.

Seeing Qin Tian move toward her, Murong Fei became flustered and felt nervous, hastily stepping back, "What are you doing?"

Qin Tian said nothing and continued to approach.

Murong Fei felt a rush of panic and hastily retreated. After several steps back, she was cornered against the wall by Qin Tian.

"What are you doing!?" Murong Fei repeated.

"Why so nervous, I’m not going to pin you against the wall," Qin Tian said calmly.

After he spoke, his expression grew serious, his head leaning in until his face was only a few centimeters from Murong Fei’s stunning visage.

"Murong Fei, let me remind you again, I have my own way of doing things. You need not intervene. I handled Qingyun Gang, and I can take care of Brother Alliance as well!"

At that moment, both could hear each other’s breathing; Murong Fei tried to calm her nerves and pushed Qin Tian away with her hand, saying, "You’re too confident for your own good!"

She took two steps and sat down on the sofa, "I concede, your martial skills are indeed impressive. But no matter how skilled, they’re not a match for a bullet. It’s easy to dodge a clear attack, but hard to guard against a hidden one. If the Brother Alliance is after you, you won’t have a single peaceful day. Understand?"

"I’m not moving," Qin Tian also sat down on the sofa and said, "I only know one thing: if someone slaps me, I’ll give back tenfold! If someone offends me, I must retaliate!"

"You just can’t change your ruffian ways," Murong Fei shook her head, "Business matters should be dealt with through business means. Your methods are illegal."

"Business tactics can resolve the issue?" Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei, "Then tell me, when you clearly knew it was Brother Alliance who set your warehouse on fire, what can you do? What business tactics can solve this?"

"I..."

Faced with Qin Tian’s persistent questioning, Murong Fei was at a loss for words.

She truly was out of options at the moment.

Just then, Murong Fei’s phone rang.

"Murong Fei, come out! I’m right outside your villa now!"

On the phone, Sun Tianba’s voice was cold and reached clearly to Qin Tian as well.

Hearing that voice, Qin Tian and Murong Fei exchanged glances, their eyebrows simultaneously knitting together.
