In the evening, Murong Yuntian and his wife returned from outside.
They already knew about the afternoon's events.
"Hanchu, I'll assign you two guards tomorrow, so that that kid Situ Lei won't harm you again."
Zhao Meiqing truly treated Qin Hanchu as her son-in-law, her eyes filled with anger.
If it weren't for the Situ family's reputation, she would not have let this matter rest.
Qin Hanchu smiled faintly, "No need."
"You are our Murong family's son-in-law, and you being beaten is a disgrace to our Murong family," Murong Yuntian said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll follow Uncle and Aunt's arrangements." Qin Hanchu chuckled inwardly, finding these "father-in-law" and "mother-in-law" titles rather pleasant.
A moment later, the four of them sat down in the dining room.
After the servant served all the dishes, they retreated.
"Xiaoning, when are you two planning to get engaged?" Zhao Meiqing asked.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yanran became anxious. She asked, "Is Grandpa rushing it?"
"Your grandfather isn't rushing, but this matter will have to be put on the agenda sooner or later," Zhao Meiqing replied.
"No hurry, let's wait until Grandpa urges us," Murong Yanran said.
Zhao Meiqing glanced meaningfully at Murong Yanran, then nodded, "Yes, that's fine."
Qin Hanchu noticed Zhao Meiqing's expression and knew that Murong Yanran's behavior had made Zhao Meiqing suspicious.
After dinner, Murong Yanran said, "We're going out to have some fun."
"Xiaoning is still injured, what fun is there?"
"Stay home tonight."
Murong Yuntian said with a somber face.
Seeing her father's displeased expression, Murong Yanran could only let out a muffled "Oh" in frustration.
"I'll go back to my room to rest," Qin Hanchu said.
"I'll accompany you." Murong Yanran didn't want to face her parents alone, so she followed Qin Hanchu upstairs.
Entering the room, Qin Hanchu said, "Your mother is a bit suspicious. If you mess up your act, it's not my fault."
Murong Yanran looked surprised, "Why would she be suspicious?"
"Your refusal to get engaged is too firm. This isn't the behavior expected of a woman in love."
"You should show at least a little shyness," Qin Hanchu added.
"You know quite a lot," Murong Yanran looked at Qin Hanchu with a peculiar gaze.
The two chatted in the room for a long time. Qin Hanchu glanced at the window and then said, "It's getting late, I need to sleep."
"So early? It's only half-past eight."
Qin Hanchu pointed to his chest, "I'm injured, it hurts."
"Alright, you get some good rest."
After Murong Yanran left, Qin Hanchu locked the room door.
Opening the window, Qin Hanchu jumped out.
Although Murong Yuntian and his wife were Grandmasters, they could not sense Qin Hanchu's departure at all.
An hour later, Qin Hanchu entered a bar.
This bar was in an area where Situ Lei often frequented.
While chatting with Murong Yanran, Qin Hanchu deliberately steered the conversation toward Situ Lei.
He learned this information from Murong Yanran.
On this island, Qin Hanchu had no forces of his own.
Because of this, Qin Hanchu was unable to ascertain Situ Lei's exact location.
He could only wait for an opportunity.
Changing into a hoodie, Qin Hanchu, wearing a mask, mingled with the crowd.
Soon, he spotted Situ Lei.
Situ Lei was currently in the VIP area, with two beautiful women in his arms, his face filled with rage.
"Brother Lei, don't worry, we'll definitely help you vent this anger."
"If there's a chance, I must properly teach that guy a lesson for Brother Lei."
"An orphan dares to snatch a woman from Brother Lei, he's seeking death."
Situ Lei's hangers-on expressed their willingness to help Situ Lei deal with Qin Hanchu.
"Use your resources and find out when this kid met Murong Yanran."
"And who are the people around him?"
"He dares to provoke me, I will make his life worse than death." After speaking, Situ Lei drained his wine.
"Brother Lei, don't be angry. Let's have some fun tonight."
"You two, take good care of Brother Lei."
One of the youths said to the two beauties.
"Brother Lei, let's go, we can't wait any longer," one of the beauties said with a charming smile.
Situ Lei smiled and stood up, "I'm leaving first."
Seeing Situ Lei walking towards the exit, Qin Hanchu followed.
As for the guards accompanying Situ Lei, Qin Hanchu completely ignored them.
Half an hour later, Situ Lei entered a hotel room with the beauties.
While he was taking a shower, Qin Hanchu slipped into the room through the window.
Before the two beauties could react, Qin Hanchu knocked them unconscious.
Qin Hanchu sat on a chair, quietly waiting.
"Beauty, here I come..."
Situ Lei walked out of the bathroom with a lecherous smile, but his expression froze the next moment.
"Who are you?" Situ Lei exclaimed in shock upon seeing Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu remained silent. He suddenly stood up and lunged at Situ Lei.
Situ Lei was, after all, a seventh-rank martial artist, so he naturally wouldn't wait to be slaughtered.
However, his counterattacks were completely useless.
*Crack!*
*Ah!*
Situ Lei's arm was directly snapped, and he let out a hysterical scream.
Although the guards were stationed outside the door, the soundproofing in the room was excellent.
Even with Situ Lei's screams, nothing could be heard outside.
Screams echoed one after another.
Soon, Situ Lei's limbs were crippled by Qin Hanchu.
Situ Lei's limb bones were completely pulverized by Qin Hanchu's internal energy.
Even Qin Hanchu himself could not heal them.
This meant Situ Lei was utterly ruined.
Qin Hanchu remained silent and left directly through the window.
"Help..."
Situ Lei howled in agony.
Only a few minutes later did the two women slowly wake up.
Upon seeing Situ Lei's tragic state, they both shrieked in terror.
...
At eleven o'clock at night, Situ Longsheng and his wife rushed to the hospital.
In the ward, they saw Situ Lei.
Situ Lei's limbs were immobilized by bandages, looking extremely pitiful.
"Chairman Situ," the chief physician of the hospital greeted them with a solemn expression.
"How is my son?" Madam Situ asked anxiously.
"Young Master Situ's limb bones were shattered by internal energy..."
"What? His bones were shattered?" Situ Longsheng exclaimed in rage.
He himself was a Grandmaster level martial artist and knew the consequences of shattered bones very well.
Even with the Dragon Gate's advanced medical technology, they could not heal shattered limbs.
"Who is it?"
"Who dared to be so ruthless to my son?" Madam Situ shouted furiously.
"Someone, investigate!"
"Mobilize all resources, I want to know who did this to Xiao Lei."
"Find the perpetrator and tear him into a thousand pieces!" Situ Longsheng growled through gritted teeth.
"Anyone who had a conflict with Xiao Lei, find them all and investigate," Madam Situ said coldly.
"Don't let any of them off!"
The Situ family's servants understood the gravity of the situation and quickly turned to leave.
The Situ family's status was second only to the five great merchant clans, and their power in Black Dragon City was formidable.
