Reading on phone Seeing her being pouty and directly targeting Qin Feng, Su Kui quickly interjected, "Little Wu, it's a misunderstanding. Qin Feng is a guest in our household—be polite, do you know?" "I'll be polite too," Su Wu said, eyes wide, pointing directly at Qin Feng. "How about he treats your daughter's tofu like it's nothing? And he tied me and a whole group of dogs together, forcing me to eat deer meat, then lied to me saying Danie had been killed. I can't stand him anymore—how could you have treated him as a guest all this time, Dad?" The lady quickly pulled at her daughter's hand, saying, "Your father says it's a misunderstanding—then it's a misunderstanding. As the saying goes, 'you don't know someone until you've had a fight.' Now, quickly apologize to Xiao Qin—everyone will laugh it off and forget the whole thing!" Qin Feng immediately assumed a proud, lofty posture, as if to say, "I've already taken your tofu and tied you up—what can you do? You'll have to bow and apologize to me, won't you? Wahoo!" Su Wu naturally couldn't bear it, shouting, "Parents, you don't know this guy—he's a complete soul-dead type! Not only has he taken advantage of me, but he's been having affairs with the flight attendants twice. He's actually a perfect gentleman!" Qin Feng countered, "What about me and the flight attendants? What does that have to do with you?" "Who gave you the right to be messing around while I'm right there watching?!" Su Wu insisted. "Watching? I remember clearly—we first met in the bathroom, then in the service area. How could you have been standing by, watching the whole time?" Qin Feng said, stubbornly. "This is a mutual arrangement—what does a third party like you have to do with it? Are you jealous because I'm good-looking and you've been ignoring me?" "I'm not jealous at all! You're making it all up! You—!" Seeing her daughter at a loss for words, the parents couldn't help but smile gently, yet still offered their advice, "It's just a misunderstanding. You're both young—don't be so particular!" "Su Wu immediately said, "No matter how many times I try, I just can't manage to apologize to him!" "Alright, alright," Qin Feng replied. "I'm not someone with a narrow mind either. And since the matter isn't clear about who's at fault, let's just leave it at that." The noble lady gave a拍拍 her hand, "That's exactly what we should do. The meal has been ready for a while now—didn't you, Wu, feel hungry long ago? This dinner is perfect for welcoming you both. Let's go to the dining hall right away!" "Us?" Su Wu glanced at herself, then at Qin Feng. "Why us? He's truly become a guest in our household—what's the reason for this?" Su Kui's face darkened. "Just listen to me, Wu. Qin Feng has always been a guest of ours. How can we treat a guest so unkindly?" The reason for their special courtesy toward Qin Feng stems from their concern over his status as an internal guard. Over the past few years, the internal guards have repeatedly orchestrated covert assassinations of officials fleeing the country, causing a certain level of anxiety across Europe. Su Kui, though not a fleeing corrupt official, by no means meant that domestic forces wouldn't target him. Should any top leader feel that Tangren Group was behaving recklessly in Europe, tarnishing China's reputation, and launch several covert assassinations against him, it would indeed be a serious setback. Su Wu's little mouth grew more and more pouty, until when she sat down, it hung with oil bottles—two at a time. Upon learning of his identity, the lady's demeanor became considerably more courteous, and she also felt uneasy about her daughter's behavior. Fortunately, she remained magnanimous; otherwise, if she reported the matter to China's leadership, one could never tell whether the high-ranking officials back home might then take action against the Su family. To ease the atmosphere, Su Kui kept pouring wine into Qin Feng's cup. This surprised Qin, the young magnate, who hadn't expected the leading figure of Tangren Group in Europe to be so intimidated by China's senior officials—this simply didn't make sense. China has always presented itself to the international community with a refined demeanor, unlike the consistently assertive approach of the United States and Russia, which has made the overseas Chinese communities under Mao so wary. Could it be that certain policies implemented by Comrade Mao left such a deep impression on them? That seems to be the only plausible explanation—Qin Feng simply couldn't think of any other. Guests were welcomed without hesitation, and a warm atmosphere quickly developed at the dinner table, with the society ladies occasionally joining in and generously clinking glasses with Qin Feng. Su Wu, however, felt uncomfortable, recalling how Qin Feng had consistently treated her with harshness—she couldn't help but be furious, often wishing to rush up and bite him to death. By the time the wine was nearly finished, Su Kui, in a composed manner, asked, "Little Qin, is this trip to Europe part of an important assignment?" "Ah, yes," Qin Feng nodded, yet he didn't reveal the details that Su Kui had hoped to hear. The old man, by now well into his years, has long since developed a keen sense of diplomacy. He continued to probe: "I must confess, I still have a certain network across several dozen countries in Europe. If you need any assistance, just let me know—though I'm sure you won't find my people particularly impressive. Still, they're quite proficient at gathering intelligence and keeping abreast of developments." He believed that since Qin Feng was a lone visitor, unfamiliar with the region, he would inevitably face numerous challenges. By expressing a willingness to offer his help without charge, he was confident of gaining the other's goodwill. Moreover, once Qin Feng accepted his support, he would inevitably have to disclose the details of his mission—thus providing him with invaluable insights into the Chinese political elite's perspectives on Europe. Qin Feng shrugged, thinking to himself: "Tell them what I've just said—believe me, even if you gave your entire family ten chances, they'd still never dare to collaborate with the Blood Shadow Killers." "Recently, a member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the People's Republic of China was assassinated, and all members of his family perished in the attack." "He didn't directly name the Blood-Shadow Assassins' Guild, but said, 'My superior has instructed me to take on the assassin organization and eliminate them completely!' Su Kui exclaimed, 'Who dares to assassinate high-ranking officials of the Celestial Dynasty with such boldness?' 'Who else? The Blood-Shadow Assassins,' Su Wu broke her usual silence, sniffing, 'The Death Island no longer exists. Saint Angel would never commit such acts of senseless slaughter—so it must be the Blood-Shadow. Moreover, the very act of ruthlessly killing an entire family is precisely the Blood-Shadow's hallmark!' This statement left all three astonished. Especially Qin Feng, who hadn't expected Su Wu to know of the Blood-Shadow Assassins and to present such a well-structured analysis. If it had been Su Kui who delivered these words, he would have been entirely unsurprised. Su Kui's brows furrowed even tighter, asking, 'Little Qin, are you truly determined to eliminate the Blood-Shadow?'" "Qin Dashi shrugged slightly: 'It's not that I want to eliminate them; it's necessary. By the way, Su Liao-head, do you have any connection with them?' Su Kui shook his head: 'How could that be? Though I run a business in the underworld, I've always understood the principle of not letting family suffer for the consequences. I've always been dissatisfied with Xueying's style of killing—never having had any direct dealings with them.'"
