Chapter 169: Personal Connections

Twenty years ago, the Yezhou Incident occurred, and Knife-Wielding Jin was thrown into prison.

But so many years have passed, and the legend of Knife-Wielding Jin still circulates among the people of Yebai.

The story of the watermelon knife is just one of many legends.

Yu Nana was so frightened that she dared not make a sound; her hand holding the wine glass was trembling, spilling wine onto her Balenciaga stockings.

As for Cui Jinghui, he was drenched in sweat, his face pale, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

He grew up listening to the stories of Knife-Wielding Jin and admired him greatly.

Now that Knife-Wielding Jin was standing right in front of him, Cui Jinghui looked like a child who had done something wrong, having completely lost his usual flair.

"It turns out to be Uncle Jin in person. We were reckless."

"My name is Tang Xingyu. My father is the chairman of the Qilu Xingtu Group, Tang Chuanyan."

"My uncle works in the Qilu political and legal system, in charge of discipline and violations."

"My brother here drank too much today and said a lot of nonsense."

"I toast this glass to you."

Tang Xingyu gave a wink, and Lu Shanshan quickly poured a full glass of wine and handed it to him.

"I toast this glass to you."

"If there was any offense to Uncle Jin, I hope Uncle Jin will be magnanimous."

After speaking, Tang Xingyu downed the whole glass in one gulp.

The presence of Knife-Wielding Jin even lowered the surrounding air pressure.

Confronting Knife-Wielding Jin, Tang Xingyu's back was already slightly sweating.

As a junior, his words carried little weight. If his father, Tang Chuanyan, were present, he might have been able to maneuver with Knife-Wielding Jin.

After all, this was not the land of Qilu; Knife-Wielding Jin might not necessarily give him that face.

If he were to pursue this matter, no matter what happens in the future, they would suffer a loss today.

"Saying so much, trying to scare me?" Jin Zhiyuan had no intention of giving Tang Xingyu face.

Seeing that Jin Zhiyuan was unyielding, even Tang Xingyu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Zheng Qian stood up.

"Forget it, forget it. It's a small matter, Uncle Jin, don't hold it against them."

The four looked at Zheng Qian.

Didn't he see that Knife-Wielding Jin was furious?

Zheng Qian standing up now, is he afraid the world won't be in chaos?

Are you happy seeing Cui Jinghui suffer?

Zheng Qian walked out of the booth and pulled Jin Zhiyuan to a spot not far away.

"Uncle Jin, please don't get angry. I'll handle these people."

Zheng Qian lowered his voice and said.

"Fine, then I'll leave it to you." Jin Zhiyuan nodded.

One is Jin Lu's future husband, the other is Jin Lu's biological father.

Cui Jinghui acting like this today was truly unwise.

"What is that kid going to do? He wouldn't go and speak ill of us, would he?" Yu Nana was extremely nervous.

"Sh-shouldn't be. Xiao Qian isn't that kind of person." Shi Yuzhu was also choking up; he had been completely terrified by Knife-Wielding Jin's aura just now.

Not long after, Zheng Qian walked back as if nothing had happened.

As for Knife-Wielding Jin, he didn't even look back, simply went downstairs, as if he didn't intend to pursue these people anymore.

Cui Jinghui finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was drenched in sweat, his T-shirt already soaked, his face pale, his eyes not as bright as before; he looked like he had just escaped from the gates of hell.

"Zheng Qian, what did you say to him?" Yu Nana asked urgently.

"Nothing much, just told him to calm down." Zheng Qian brushed it off. He couldn't be bothered to deal with Yu Nana now.

Seeing Zheng Qian brushing her off, Yu Nana angrily grabbed at the stockings on her legs.

After a long while, seeing that Knife-Wielding Jin did not bring anyone back, the group finally relaxed their vigilance.

"You really are amazing, Xingyu!" Cui Jinghui looked at Tang Xingyu with an indescribable expression.

He felt more and more that the path Tang Xingyu chose was the right one.

When Tang Xingyu brought out his father earlier, Knife-Wielding Jin hadn't reacted much.

But after he brought out his uncle, the situation immediately became different.

No matter how powerful you, Knife-Wielding Jin, are, you aren't more powerful than the people above.

Cui Jinghui still had lingering fears.

Knife-Wielding Jin had already gone in twenty years ago.

Even if he was released now and opened a bar, so what? How powerful could he be?

Knife-Wielding Jin was a powerful big shot back then, but now, the tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered; he had long lost his former influence.

Knife-Wielding Jin was sentenced to twenty years; calculating the days now, it was about time he came out.

Thinking about it carefully, Cui Jinghui actually had nothing to be afraid of. He had just been suppressed by the high-pressure aura unique to Knife-Wielding Jin.

Their family had been painstakingly operating in Yezhou for so many years; the status and power they possessed today were not inferior to what Knife-Wielding Jin had back then.

Want to touch him, Cui Jinghui?

Impossible!

He could only scare people.

After figuring this out, Cui Jinghui finally relaxed completely.

"I didn't see it, Cui Jinghui. You're usually so majestic and fight so fiercely, yet you also have people you're afraid of?" Zheng Qian smiled and started drinking.

Shi Yuzhu keenly sensed a hint of gunpowder.

The matter had just been turned over, and Zheng Qian brought it up again; he was clearly looking for trouble!

"Xiao Qian, have you also had too much to drink?" Shi Yuzhu gave Zheng Qian a wink and reminded him.

"Zheng Qian! What do you mean by that?" Yu Nana said angrily, "Don't think that just because you persuaded Knife-Wielding Jin to leave, it's your credit."

"If it weren't for Xingyu revealing his family background just now, who knows what Knife-Wielding Jin would have done?"

"Don't think that just because you whispered a few words to Knife-Wielding Jin, this matter is your credit."

"Do you think your face is that big? Knife-Wielding Jin listened to you in two or three sentences?"

Lu Shanshan didn't expect Zheng Qian to jump out at this time and mock Cui Jinghui.

Originally, the matter had passed, but his words provoked Cui Jinghui's anger again.

Cui Jinghui had just suffered a setback and had already lost a lot of face. If it hadn't been for Tang Xingyu stepping in, who knew how it would have ended.

Zheng Qian's actions were undoubtedly pouring oil on the small flame in Cui Jinghui's heart.

She really didn't expect Zheng Qian to act like a fox exploiting a tiger's might in this situation.

Lu Shanshan: Favorability - 5 points, current Favorability 0 points.

Lu Shanshan's only remaining Favorability toward Zheng Qian had dropped to freezing point.

Yu Nana's Favorability toward Zheng Qian had already become -5 points!

Tang Xingyu also looked at Zheng Qian with hostility.

Seeing Yu Nana arguing with Zheng Qian, Cui Jinghui was looking for a place to vent his anger anyway.

It was because of Zheng Qian just now that he said those things, and he didn't know how he had offended Knife-Wielding Jin, almost taking a big fall.

"What do you think I mean? Can't you understand?" Zheng Qian returned the previous words exactly.

Cui Jinghui insulted Zheng Qian's woman, so he certainly wouldn't care about the Favorability of Lu Shanshan and the others at this moment.

Two days ago at Cui Jinghui's place, with Shi Yuzhu mediating on the side, Zheng Qian didn't fall out with Cui Jinghui.

Now they were at Red Rose, Zheng Qian's turf, so he didn't need to be afraid at all.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, specifically picking on soft persimmons, you've got a knack for it."

"All those fights you've been in before, did you specifically pick people who wouldn't fight back?"

"Dozens of you surrounding someone, relying on your numbers to surround them?"

"How come I've never seen you fight someone one-on-one?"

Zheng Qian's mouth was like a machine gun at this moment, rat-tat-tat-tat-tat strafing Cui Jinghui's chest, every word piercing his heart, with extremely high insulting nature.

"Zheng Qian, what do you want?"

"Don't f**king think that Knife-Wielding Jin scared me just now. I'm telling you, he really doesn't dare to do anything to me!"

Snap!

Cui Jinghui grabbed a wine bottle, smashed it on the ground, revealing the sharp glass, and aimed it at Zheng Qian.

"You said I've never fought someone one-on-one, right? Come on, today I'll let you see!"
