?Reading on mobile phone A third-party servant rushed into the dining hall, drenched in sweat, calling out, "Lord Su, I'm truly sorry—I couldn't find Miss Su's whereabouts... Ah, Miss Su, you've returned!" This poor man had searched every corner of the courtyard but couldn't locate Su Wu. He had hoped to at least be scolded severely, if not lose his life, but with no alternative, he came here to apologize. Eight Zero E-book Who could have guessed that, as he was still speaking, he saw Miss Su already seated at a table, eating her meal. When he saw Qin Feng, the servant was even more astonished. He had always thought Qin Feng was Miss Su's enemy—how could he now be a guest of honor at Lord Su's table? "Alright, A-san, no need to worry—it's just a minor scare. Go ahead and have your meal now," Lord Su said, waving his hand. "Yes, Lord Su," replied the servant, growing increasingly doubtful. All the evidence pointed to Qin Feng having kidnapped Miss Su. Yet Lord Su not only remained calm and unperturbed, but also invited him to share a meal—an honor usually reserved for distinguished guests Su Kui had been granted the title of Count by the emperor for his charitable endeavors. In many European constitutional monarchies—where the emperor serves only as a symbolic figure without actual power—the emperor is essentially a ceremonial presence. Since such emperors are symbolic, the titles they bestow carry even more symbolic value. Numerous distinguished figures have received such honors. Yet, it is rather amusing to bestow a noble title upon a leading figure of a criminal organization. However, Su Kui’s charitable work was indeed substantial, with countless donations made each year. Some had questioned whether it was appropriate to grant him a title. The royal family responded: "You may say he has committed legal violations, but I am not aware of that; if he has, it is the police’s responsibility. What I have seen is his significant contributions in the realm of charity. If someone makes such contributions, they deserve recognition and reward. Since the emperor has chosen to honor him, Su Kui has graciously accepted. In truth, his charitable efforts stemmed primarily from the accumulation of his own moral shortcomings and his growing concern that his sons might lack heirs." It turned out his approach was correct—nothing at all happened that had been most feared, because he never had a son; he only had one precious daughter, Su Wu. Whether at home or abroad, he always preferred to be called "Lord" rather than "Lord of the Clan," especially within the faction, where he deeply disliked the title "Head." Anyone daring to call him "Head" in his presence invariably ended up in trouble. "Su Wu immediately said with a tone of skepticism, "Seriously? It's said that the assassins of Xue Ying are all top-tier experts, heartless and ruthless. Yet you managed to capture them, and they even revealed internal information to you—am I dreaming?" Qin Feng glared at her and scoffed, "Believe it or not. If I hadn't had some real skill, how else would you have ended up subdued by me?" He didn't mention it before, but the young woman's temper flared up instantly, "You have the nerve to say that? It was a surprise attack, wasn't it!" Su Kui interrupted her daughter, saying, "Our household's security standards are among the best in all of Europe. The fact that Xiao Qin subdued you without anyone noticing, and then escorted you all the way to the study—without a single person detecting anything—proves beyond doubt that he is a true master." The lady added, "We have cameras monitoring every corner, inside and out. That he managed to go unnoticed under such circumstances is indeed a sign of an elite-level expert." "Qin Dashi chuckled lightly: 'Thank you so much for your kind words, but really, it's all just small things—nothing at all, nothing at all, hehe!' Su Xiaoniu mumbled: 'You're praised for being fat, yet you start breathing heavily—how humble you are!' Su Kui cleared his throat awkwardly and said: 'Young Qin, I'm truly sorry. It's just that I've failed to properly guide my daughter, and I've embarrassed you. Since we've come to know each other, it's a matter of fate. As long as you need anything from me, Su Xuan, just let me know—I'll do my best!' In such an unfamiliar environment in Europe, having a reliable assistant is truly a blessing. After all, the challenge ahead is not just a single individual, but an entire assassin organization. If the target were only one person, then going it alone would undoubtedly be the ideal choice. He bowed slightly and added: 'Thank you so much, Mr. Su, I'm certain I'll have many occasions to ask for your help!' 'It's nothing at all,' he replied. 'We're both Chinese—we should naturally support one another.' "Su Kui thought a lot—if he could establish connections with the top figures in the Celestial Dynasty through Qin Feng's network, that would be wonderful. If he could secure quiet, behind-the-scenes support from the Celestial Dynasty, he was confident that the Tangren Alliance could outperform the other three factions and no longer settle for last place." "I'd like to help too," Su Wu said, eager to contribute. "You!," Qin Feng said with a long, deliberate tone, clearly not giving her the respect she expected: "All I ask is that you stop bothering me. I can't even hope to get any help from you!" "You dare to look down on me!" "Then I'll look down on you—right now, I'm going to bite you!" As the tension between the two seemed about to flare up again, Su Kui quickly stepped in to mediate: "Everyone has had enough to drink. I've already arranged the guest rooms. Xiao Qin, you've been traveling all day—take a rest now, and stay here with us, wouldn't you?" "No, he can't stay with us," the young woman said, clearly upset. Qin Feng originally hadn't planned to stay at the Su family's residence; staying at a hotel was more convenient, and there was reimbursement, so why not? Since he wouldn't be spending his own money, what could be better? However, after hearing Su Wu's words, an instinctive sense of resistance arose within him. He nodded and said, "Very well. Given Su Grandfather's warm invitation, if I were to refuse, I'd be truly disappointing you. Then I'll have to make do and stay here. I'm quite tired, so I'd like to rest a bit." "Ah, I'll have someone show you the way," Su Kui smiled. "No need to go to all that trouble," Qin Feng said politely, then changed the tone: "Let Su Wu take me there instead. It would be quite troublesome to have the servants do it, wouldn't it? Hehe!" "You're dreaming," Su Wu pouted. The noblewoman immediately agreed: "Alright, little Wu, take little Qin to the second-floor guest room. What are you waiting for? It's just next to your room. Go on!" "What? He's staying right next to me?" Su Wu's eyes widened. "Qin Feng, in a humble tone, said: "This is your home—shouldn't you be the one who's afraid, shouldn't you?"
