After Qin Feng left, a sense of humiliation surged in Guan Wenfeng’s heart. Since he could remember, he had always been the cherished child, beloved by everyone. As an adult, he was even designated as the future crown prince, enjoying unparalleled prestige. Yet today, he had been beaten—so badly that he looked like a pig’s head. Worse still, his intended bride had been taken away by the other party, which filled him with deep resentment. He glanced at the bald man lying unconscious on the ground, then walked over and kicked him several times, growling, “All your fault! If it weren’t for your lackluster subordinates, how could I have been humiliated? You’re just like Li’s young man—always falling short, always causing trouble. With such meager abilities, how do you expect me to look after you in the future? I’ll take care of you right now!” After stomping around fiercely, his anger finally subsided. He gritted his teeth and said, “Qin Feng, if you dare to strike me, I’ll kill you to vent my fury. As for He Muqing—this lowly woman—I’ll have you on my bed, and I’ll make you suffer until you He pulled out his phone and dialed his father's number: "Hello, Dad, I've been knocked out—yes, badly. You'd better send someone over to pick me up, don't forget to bring a black headband..." ... In the master bedroom of the He family, both He Zhengjun and Wei Lingshuang had been awake all night. They had a perfect默契 of turning on the bedside lamps simultaneously, yet neither could figure out why, with such a brilliant son-in-law, their father had settled on Qin Feng. Qin Feng was indeed a talent—already a colonel at a young age, and he owned a well-established, reputable company. Compared to the average person, he was already at the peak. But when measured against Guan Wenfeng, who soared above the clouds, Qin Feng still fell short. To this day, both of them firmly believed that it would have been far better for their daughter to marry Guan Wenfeng than Qin Feng. In the adjacent bedroom, the unusual sounds continued for a long time. Without needing to guess, they knew their daughter was now engaged in a battle of wills with the man their father had chosen. "Lingshuang, are we really going to accept this?" "Wei Lingshuang frowned and asked, "What else do you expect? Grandfather has already agreed, the two of them have settled their matter—now, they've even publicly humiliated Xiao Guan. Do you think our marriage alliance can still go forward?" "He said in agreement, 'I'm worried about the same thing. Such a simple point—how could the elder not understand it? Yet why does he persist in his own way?' What they find most difficult to accept is that their daughter has brought her boyfriend to live with them. Living together is fine, but they haven't even gotten married—why should they share a bedroom? Sharing a bedroom makes sense, but why can't they just be calm about it? Why do they keep making such a fuss, and why do they still maintain it after so long? It's surely tiring. Of course, this is the only thing that brings Fei Lingshuang real satisfaction—Qin Feng is strong-willed, so it's definitely the daughter who will feel comfortable. *Ring, ring*—the phone on the bedside table rings. The two of them glance at each other. This phone hasn't rung in several days—being an internal line, it only rings during major events. 'Answer it,' Lingshuang urges." Master He picked up the receiver: "Hello, this is He Zhengjun. Who's this? Is it Guan, right? You're calling so late—what's up? Hehe, we've both felt a bit embarrassed. But Xiao Qing just won't make sense. As for the old man, well, he's also... " He went on explaining to the phone, and the person on the other end was Guan Lijie, who had been just one step away from becoming his son-in-law. But as he spoke, Master He's expression grew more and more serious, turning steadily worse. Wei Lingshuang felt a sudden pang in her heart, wondering if things were going to turn into a problem for them. "It's truly surprising, Guan. Don't worry—I'll give you a satisfactory answer," Master He said, hanging up angrily. "This is outrageous! Absolutely out of control!" Wei Lingshuang quickly asked, "What's wrong? Has something else happened?" "He Da came back and said, 'Guan Wenfeng was beaten badly—his face is almost as if it were turned into a pig's head. Do you know who did it? It was Qin Feng, the young man. The incident happened before Qin Feng and Xiao Qing returned, yet he didn't mention a word about it!' 'What?' Wei Lingshuang widened her eyes. 'That boy must be out of his mind. He's bold enough to beat the future crown prince—now we've deepened our misunderstanding with the Guan family even further. What are we going to do?' 'What are we going to do? Just serve it cold,' said Grandpa He, sitting up from the bed and snorting. 'I'm going straight to confront that young man. We've already secured our daughter—why then does he have to beat Guan Wenfeng? Isn't that making things up as he goes along?' 'I'm going too. We'll drive that boy out together. Otherwise, the Guan family's resentment will eventually fall on us.' She also rose. The two hurried to the door of the guest bedroom, where a fierce battle had just ended. They were embracing each other, breathing heavily." Master He didn't care whether the timing was right or not. He slammed the door hard and shouted, "Xiao Qing, you and Qin come out right now—there's something important I need to tell you!" Miss He replied lazily, "It's late now. I and Xiao Feng have both gone to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow." "No way—we have to talk now," Master He insisted, his voice rising. "It's urgent. You're both supposed to be awake—get up right now! Otherwise, I'm going to storm into your mother's room with you!" Miss He added, "Isn't it just that Qin was beaten up? What's so big about that? It must be Guan Li-jie who called you, saying his son was attacked. And he certainly won't admit that Guan Wen-feng initiated the confrontation—especially after two separate incidents. If it weren't for him first gathering his men to threaten us, how could he have taken the beating?" The couple exchanged a glance—there it was, the very thing they'd overlooked. He Wei continued, "You just don't need to worry about this anymore—any more involvement will only make things worse. We already have solid evidence showing that Guan Wenfeng has hired two separate hitmen. Even if they confront us face-to-face, it will still be Guan family who's been making the moves!" The couple had initially harbored some doubts, but after hearing their daughter's explanation, they finally believed—indeed, it was the Guan family who had been challenging them from the start. However, during the phone call just now, Guan Liye only mentioned that his son had suffered serious injuries and said nothing about the other developments. "Absolutely outrageous," said He Da, gripping his fists. "The Guan family is treating us unfairly—how could they keep such a secret about what their son has done, even from me?" Wei Lingshuang replied, "Then we'll just let things unfold. We'll wait and see how things develop. After all, our daughter is clearly in the right."
