Chapter 347: Chapter 343: The Hidden Qin Wu

"Miss Nanrong, what high position does your boyfriend hold?" the person next to her asked with interest.

"President Liu is joking, it’s nothing high profile; he works in security at Hongyu Group, responsible for my safety."

"Security?"

Hearing this, the several presidents gathered around Nanrong Wanqing were stunned. This news was too shocking for them; the boyfriend of the distinguished chairman of Hongyu Group was just an ordinary security staff—this was something that probably few would believe.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but admire Ling Chen’s capabilities, never expecting that the toad could indeed eat swan meat.

At this moment, Ling Chen, with his hands behind his back, was leisurely strolling back and forth in the banquet hall, enjoying champagne and fruit platters, quite contented. However, Ling Chen, weaving through the crowd, suddenly noticed a man next to Su Lin—and it was a very familiar man.

Qin Yang!

This guy also came to attend the dinner.

Seeing Su Lin with a cold expression, Ling Chen felt a sudden heaviness in his heart and immediately quickened his pace towards her. Upon getting closer, he heard Su Lin’s displeased voice: "Mr. Qin, I have nothing to say to you, please don’t come over and bother me."

"Linlin, why bother? We are all acquaintances; if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends," Qin Yang tried to persuade kindly.

"Sorry, I’m not interested in being friends with you; you should go ask some other women instead." After saying this, Su Lin turned around and was about to leave. However, Qin Yang, quick and alert, immediately grabbed Su Lin’s arm, attempting to pull her back.

But what Qin Yang didn’t expect was that his action would trigger Su Lin’s fiery temper. Su Lin suddenly turned around, and without a word, delivered a slap straight across his face.

Slap!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a bright red palm print immediately appeared on Qin Yang’s left cheek, very striking.

Feeling the fiery pain on his face, Qin Yang was momentarily dumbfounded, never expecting Su Lin to hit so hard, not leaving any dignity for him. At this moment, the surrounding guests were all drawn to the loud slap.

Seeing Qin Yang’s swollen cheek, people started whispering and chuckling quietly. The laughter echoing in Qin Yang’s ears felt incredibly harsh. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, being slapped by a woman, how could he face anyone after this? Even more damaging, everyone present tonight was someone of status and position; once this incident spread, he would have no face left to continue mingling.

Thinking this, Qin Yang gritted his teeth, both embarrassed and angry. His face was definitely lost; now it was about whether he could recover a bit of his dignity.

With anger rising in his heart, he raised his arm and aimed a slap at Su Lin’s delicate cheek.

However, before the slap could land, Qin Yang felt his wrist being caught by someone, rendering him unable to move. Looking along the hand, a sharp and distinct handsome face suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Seeing that familiar yet annoying smile, Qin Yang’s expression changed slightly, exclaiming, "It’s you!"

Ling Chen slightly tilted his lips, smiling and said, "Mr. Qin, as a dignified man, hitting a woman in public, isn’t that quite unreasonable?"

Qin Yang clenched his teeth and retorted, "She hit me first."

"If you didn’t shamelessly pester her, getting hit serves you right."

Qin Yang scoffed, forcefully twisting his wrist, trying to break free from Ling Chen’s hold, but Ling Chen’s grip was as solid as steel bars, tightly binding his wrist, making it impossible to escape.

"Let go!"

Ling Chen didn’t linger, simply shrugged his shoulders, loosened his fingers, and stepped back next to Su Lin.

"Are you okay?"

Su Lin smiled sweetly, feeling delighted to see Ling Chen standing up for her. It felt great to have a dependable man by her side, but unfortunately, he wasn’t hers. With this thought, she silently sighed.

"Big brother, what’s wrong?"

At that moment, a voice as clear as spring water chimed in from the crowd, drawing Ling Chen’s gaze. In his clear eyes, a flash of surprise appeared.

It was her!

Seeing the newcomer, Qin Yang seemed to have found his backbone, hurriedly approaching her and said anxiously, "Sister, you arrived just in time."

Qin Wu observed the swelling on Qin Yang’s left cheek, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she asked, "What happened?"

"It’s all because of that despicable woman Su Lin. I spoke to her nicely, and she hit me," Qin Yang stated indignantly.

Hearing this, Qin Wu turned her head, glanced at Su Lin, then shifted her gaze to Ling Chen.

"Mr. Ling, Miss Su, regardless of what my brother did wrong, it’s still not good to hit someone in public. I hope you both can apologize and make peace."

Su Lin was about to speak, but Ling Chen interjected, "Miss Qin, hitting people is wrong, but is harassing women okay then? You know very well what kind of person your brother is. If you want us to apologize, fine, let your brother apologize to us first."

Qin Yang felt enraged, shouting furiously, "Ling Chen, don’t push people too far! It was clearly that despicable woman who hit me, why should I apologize?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, a cold glint flashing through his sharp eyes.

"What did you just call her?"

"Despi...."

Before the words ’despicable woman’ could be fully pronounced, Ling Chen, who had been standing still, suddenly lunged forward with swift steps. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Qin Yang, and his hand delivered a fierce slap.

Qin Yang never expected Ling Chen to strike without a word, and the speed was so fast that he didn’t even have time to react. As the slap rapidly enlarged in his eyes, he stood there dumbfounded, at a loss.

However, just as Ling Chen thought his slap would surely land, a smooth, delicate white wrist suddenly stretched out from the side, accurately grasping his wrist, stopping him from moving further.

Huh?

Following the direction of the wrist, Ling Chen saw that it was none other than Qin Wu.

This woman... turned out to be a master hiding her strength. He had almost misjudged her.

But the slap was already in motion, and withdrawing halfway would only serve to let Qin Yang off easy. With thoughts racing, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed, and the inner strength in his Dantian surged crazily, condensing into a fine stream flowing towards his right hand.

With the sudden burst of power, Ling Chen instantly broke free from Qin Wu’s hold.

Slap!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and a handprint immediately appeared on the right cheek of Qin Yang.

This slap from Ling Chen was much harsher than Su Lin’s. In an instant, Qin Yang’s right cheek swelled up, resembling a steamed bun, amusing to onlookers.

"Mr. Qin, keep your mouth clean. If there’s a next time, I’ll knock out your teeth."

Seeing her brother repeatedly humiliated, Qin Wu could no longer stay calm. Qin Yang was the eldest son of the Qin Family, and this related to the entire family’s reputation. They couldn’t just let it slide like this.
