Chapter 129: Chapter 129 The Eve of the Wedding Banquet

Xiao Tianquan roared in fury, "That’s bullshit!"

He almost coughed up blood in anger. Hiring a Dark Energy Peak Realm powerhouse would cost a hundred million, and hiring ten Energizing Skill Grandmasters would cost over a hundred billion, wouldn’t it?

Not to mention the Xiao Family, even the Chen Family wouldn’t have the resources for such an extravagant move.

Xiao Qing and Luo Jun, watching the uncontrollably furious Xiao Tianquan, didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily.

At this moment, the Long Family Steward, who had been standing behind Xiao Tianquan the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "The greatest risk at tomorrow’s engagement banquet is that young man named Qin Chuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Qing and Luo Jun both showed a face of surprise.

"Long Family Steward, he’s just an ant without any background. So what if he has some skills? Does he really deserve to be considered a hidden danger to our Xiao Family?"

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Qing said disdainfully.

In her eyes, Qin Chuan was nothing more than a brawler who could throw a few good punches. As for his background, she had already investigated it thoroughly.

When Xiao Tianquan looked at Xiao Qing, the disappointment in his eyes grew even deeper. His daughter was ruthless and decisive in her actions, but she was so foolish, too dull to be useful.

The Long Family Steward said with a somber face, "I couldn’t even take one punch from him and ended up with an arm crippled. Miss, do you still think he’s merely an ant?"

Xiao Qing’s expression instantly froze. She was well aware of this incident; to this day, the Long Family Steward’s arm still hadn’t recovered.

The Long Family Steward was a Dark Energy Middle Stage Realm powerhouse, yet he couldn’t even take a single punch from Qin Chuan. Doesn’t that mean Qin Chuan’s strength has already surpassed the Dark Energy Middle Stage?

Just then, the Long Family Steward continued, "Moreover, I commissioned the top expert of the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild, Hua Xiong, to kill Qin Chuan, but he was stopped by Jiangcheng City’s richest man, Song Qingshan."

Xiao Qing’s face turned deathly pale, as scenes of her interactions with Qin Chuan flashed in her mind.

She had gone to seek cooperation with the Song Family, only to encounter Qin Chuan, who publicly slapped her in the face, and yet the Song Family expressed their intention to side with Qin Chuan.

She followed Chen Kun to the Premium Auction House and saw Qin Chuan being hassled. She had thought he would meet a miserable end, but then Zhu Yeqing, the president of the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association, appeared and stated Qin Chuan was her friend.

If Qin Chuan were truly an ant without any backing, would he have gained favor from so many influential figures?

It was only at this moment that she realized Qin Chuan’s complexity.

The reason why Xiao Tianquan had wanted her to make every effort to arrange security for the engagement banquet was to guard against Qin Chuan!

"The marriage alliance with the Chen Family is of vital importance to the Xiao Family; nothing must go wrong!"

The Long Family Steward continued, "Regardless of whatever arrangements the Chen Family has made, our Xiao Family must do everything possible to ensure the security of the event!"

"Calling off the marriage alliance would pose no significant trouble to the Chen Family, but for the Xiao Family, it would be a disaster!"

The words of the Long Family Steward fell on Xiao Qing like a bolt from the blue.

Xiao Qing, with a face full of panic, exclaimed, "Dad, I am but a fool and can’t possibly handle the security for the engagement banquet properly. You should assign Brother to take charge of it!"

She had thought that overseeing security for the engagement banquet would be an easy and lucrative task, after all, with the Chen Family involved, who would dare to cause trouble?

But she had underestimated Qin Chuan, a looming figure who could easily suppress the Long Family Steward, backed by powerhouses like Song Qingshan and Zhu Yeqing.

Now she was truly afraid and wanted nothing more than to throw this hot potato as far away as possible.

The disappointment in Xiao Tianquan’s eyes intensified. He had once thought that although Xiao Qing was foolish, her ruthless and decisive style was somewhat akin to his own.

But who would have thought, I’d be frightened by the security work of an engagement party.

"Shut up!"

He roared, angrily saying, "This task must be your responsibility!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xiao Qing with a face full of panic.

Xiao Qing hastily looked towards the Long Family Steward, her face full of plea, "Long Family Steward, what should I do now? Please give me some guidance!"

The Long Family Steward sighed, swept a glance at Luo Jun, who was shivering all over, and then said, "If you’re worried about not being able to guard against those you need to, couldn’t you use some other method to defend?"

Now Xiao Qing’s mind was completely befuddled, not grasping the deeper meaning of the Long Family Steward’s words, and she quickly asked, "What method should I use to defend?"

The Long Family Steward was speechless, and simply said directly, "If the biggest threat at tomorrow’s engagement party is Qin Chuan, then as long as we focus on stopping him, won’t that solve the problem?"

"If you’re afraid you can’t stop him, then why not find a way to make it impossible for him to come during the engagement party?"

Xiao Qing asked with a dumbfounded face, "But what can I do to keep him from showing up at the engagement party?"

The Long Family Steward was utterly furious, saying loudly, "Just make it so he’s spread too thin! Doesn’t he have a sister? Have someone kidnap his sister half an hour before the engagement party starts."

Having said this, he stomped off angrily.

It was only a full minute after the Long Family Steward left that Xiao Qing suddenly came to a realization, excitedly saying, "Yes! Why didn’t I think of that?"

"As soon as I kidnap his sister, won’t he be unable to come and make trouble at the engagement party?"

"By the time he has rescued his sister, the Xiao Family and the Chen Family will have successfully completed their engagement, and even if he causes a scene, it will be too late."

After finishing, she looked at Luo Jun, who was still in fear, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face, angrily saying, "You’re useless, you can’t help me with anything."

Luo Jun’s face was full of grievance, and he didn’t dare to let out even a peep.

Meanwhile, at the Chen Family, inside a stand-alone luxury villa.

Ouyang Ying looked at her son with a face full of satisfaction, smiling as she asked, "Son, have you arranged everything for tomorrow’s engagement party?"

Chen Kun nodded, saying casually, "It’s nothing more than a formal exchange of interests, there’s nothing much to prepare."

Ouyang Ying’s face suddenly turned grim, and she seriously said, "Even if it’s just a formality, you must take it seriously. Many people are watching the Chen Family; any accident would be a disgrace for the Chen Family!"

Seeing his mother getting a bit angry, Chen Kun hurriedly said with a smile, "Mom, don’t worry, I won’t let the Chen Family be humiliated, haven’t you always trusted my actions?"

Ouyang Ying nodded, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that my right eyelid has been twitching lately, making me uneasy, I always feel like something might go wrong."

Chen Kun grabbed Ouyang Ying’s hand, smiling as he said, "Mom, all this superstition about the left eye twitching for wealth and the right eye for disaster, don’t take it seriously, you can relax completely! Just wait until I take control of the Xiao Family, the Chen Family’s status in East Sea Province will then be completely solidified!"

Ouyang Ying nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, has your brother replied? Will he be coming to your engagement party tomorrow?"

The proudest accomplishment of Ouyang Ying’s life was having two terrific sons.

People in East Sea Province knew how outstanding Chen Kun was, but few knew that Chen Kun’s brother, Chen Wang, was the true pride of the Chen Family, who at a young age had joined the strongest Sovereign Master Army in Shen Zhou.

It was said he had already caught the eye of the Sovereign Master, and once accepted as a disciple, his future was boundless!

Chen Kun smiled mysteriously, "Mom, you’ll know by tomorrow!"
