112: Goodbye Ye Wuhuan

"Uh—!"

Qin Shou was stunned upon hearing this. Ren Jing had simply sent him a message inviting him to her birthday banquet; he hadn't expected that an invitation card would actually be required.

"I'm sorry, you cannot enter without an invitation card. Please leave immediately."

Seeing Qin Shou's expression and recalling how he had just stepped out of a taxi, the guard's eyes filled with disdain. He figured that Qin Shou was likely trying to sneak into this high-society banquet to freeload, or perhaps trying to use this opportunity to curry favor with the powerful. As a guard for such a wealthy and influential family, he had seen far too many people like Qin Shou.

Just as Qin Shou was at a loss for what to do, a red Ferrari sports car pulled a beautiful drift in front of the villa. After showing off its driving skills, it didn't even adjust, simply pulling steadily into the only empty parking space.

The sports car instantly caught Qin Shou's attention. Nothing else, but that parking technique was truly impressive.

Qin Shou saw a playful, cute young girl with a ponytail, dressed in casual clothes, step out of the Ferrari.

Following the girl out of the car was a man wearing a crisp Zhongshan suit with an upright, righteous look on his face.

Qin Shou had seen both of these people before; they were the same pair who had joined forces with him to fight the Demon Corpse in the woods that day.

"Hee hee, Senior Brother, my driving skills aren't bad, right?"

The ponytail girl looked extremely pleased with herself, looking very smug.

However, to her disappointment, the young man beside her was extremely steady, and couldn't help but advise her: "Junior Sister, driving like that is just too dangerous. You ran several red lights along the way. Don't do it again in the future; not only is it against traffic laws, but what if you hit a pedestrian? That would be terrible."

"Boring, Senior Brother, why are you always so old-fashioned?"

"Boring, Senior Brother, why are you always so old-fashioned?" The girl had expected her Senior Brother to praise her excellent driving skills, but instead, she was lectured. Her face immediately showed great displeasure, and she pouted.

As the two of them chatted back and forth, they arrived at the villa entrance and immediately saw Qin Shou, who was currently being blocked by the guard. Both were taken aback. Clearly, they hadn't expected to run into Qin Shou here.

"It's you! Weren't you taken away by that She-Devil? You're actually not dead!"

The ponytail girl couldn't help but exclaim, her lively, large eyes looking Qin Shou up and down, confirming that she hadn't recognized the wrong person.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Can you even talk? Why are you so eager for people to die?"

"Hehe, I got lucky. That Demon Corpse was also seriously injured. It didn't get far with me before it collapsed on the ground, unconscious. I took the opportunity and slipped away."

Although Qin Shou felt that the girl's words weren't very pleasant, he still squeezed out a smile and hurriedly made up an excuse. He certainly didn't want anyone to know that the She-Devil had now become his child bride.

"I see. I was just saying, with your strength, how could you possibly escape from the hands of that She-Devil? What a pity, though! Didn't you give that She-Devil a hit when you were leaving?"

The playful girl with the ponytail nodded, not doubting Qin Shou's words in the slightest.

"Hehe, I was only focused on running for my life at the time; how could I have had the guts to counter-kill her? Besides, I don't have that ability!"

Qin Shou scratched his head, feigning a look of lingering fear, terrified that someone might notice something amiss.

"That's true. You aren't me, and with your low strength, you certainly don't have the ability to counter-kill."

The playful young girl was very straightforward and didn't care about Qin Shou's face at all. She actually followed up on his words and nodded as if it were a matter of course.

Fortunately, Qin Shou didn't care about such things; he had intended to bluff his way through from the start. After all, the Demon Corpse had now turned into Nuo Nuo and was by his side. If these two found out, they definitely wouldn't let Nuo Nuo go.

Thinking of this, Qin Shou felt a wave of lingering fear and secretly rejoiced. It was fortunate that Nuo Nuo hadn't insisted on following him today; otherwise, running into these two would have risked her being discovered. Given the status of these two, they would certainly not let Nuo Nuo off easily.

"Hello, my name is Ren Tianxing, and I am Ren Jing's older brother. This is my Junior Sister, Li Miaomiao. Thank you for saving my younger sister, Ren Jing, last time."

Just as Qin Shou was secretly rejoicing, he saw Ren Tianxing smiling and extending his right hand toward him, his attitude very sincere.

Qin Shou never expected that the person in front of him was actually Ren Jing's brother. Qin Shou thought to himself that it was no wonder he felt the two of them looked somewhat similar.

Qin Shou already had a good impression of this person, and now that he heard he was his future brother-in-law, he felt even more of a sense of closeness. He immediately put on a grinning expression and enthusiastically shook hands with Ren Tianxing, saying: "Brother-in-law... uh, Brother Ren, hello! My name is Qin Shou!"

As Qin Shou shook hands with Ren Tianxing, he secretly felt a lingering fear, thinking to himself, "Damn it, I almost let the words 'brother-in-law' slip out. Luckily, I reacted quickly enough and corrected myself in time, otherwise it would have been awkward."

"You are Qin Shou!"

As soon as Qin Shou finished speaking, he heard a somewhat cold and sinister voice. It was a voice Qin Shou was very familiar with.

Qin Shou turned his head to look and saw that Ye Wuhuan had arrived at the villa entrance at some point. He was currently staring at Qin Shou with a sinister expression. His eyes were like a venomous snake, filled with hostility.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou couldn't help but frown, secretly wondering: How did he know my name? Even if he recognized me when I was cross-dressing, he shouldn't know my name!

However, just as Qin Shou was puzzled, his eyes happened to catch a glimpse of the watch Ye Wuhuan was wearing on his wrist, and his expression immediately became quite colorful.

He thought to himself, "Damn it, it can't be that much of a coincidence, can it? This motherf*cker came full circle and managed to loop back! No wonder he knows my name; it seems he found out from that guy Zhao Gang."

"Why, Wuhuan, do you know Brother Qin?"

Ren Tianxing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Qin Shou and Ye Wuhuan with some confusion, having sensed that the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit off.

"Big Brother Ren, when did you come down from the mountain? You didn't even tell me."

Upon seeing Ren Tianxing nearby, Ye Wuhuan immediately changed his demeanor. The sinister look on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a warm expression, and he even patted Ren Tianxing's shoulder in a very familiar manner.

Both the Ye Family and the Ren Family were among the top-tier families in Yanjing, so it could be said that Ye Wuhuan and Ren Tianxing had grown up playing together.

Since childhood, Ren Tianxing had been the leader among the group of courtyard children, and he held high prestige among his peers. All of his peers respectfully addressed him as Big Brother Ren.

Ren Tianxing was straightforward and didn't have any petty thoughts. He said directly: "Haha, it just so happened that my sect sent me down the mountain to gain some experience. Then I happened to run into Jingjing, who said that members of the Blood God Cult have been quite active in the City over the last six months, so I came to lend Jingjing a hand."
