Chapter 374: Chapter 372 Seeking Death
As Xiao Yu entered the room, he immediately caught everyone’s attention. The Zhu siblings completely forgot about Qin Hao, looking excitedly at Xiao Yu in the distance.
Zhu Qifeng looked at Xiao Yu with admiration and said to Zhu Wanting, "Wan Ting, when do you plan to go over and meet Young Master Xiao?"
Zhu Wanting saw her brother’s eager expression and said immediately, "Brother, what’s the rush? Let’s wait until last. Right now, Young Master Xiao is talking to Director Liu from the provincial government and Director Chen."
"Haha, true, with your connection to Young Master Xiao, we can go over at any time!"
Zhu Qifeng said proudly upon hearing this. His sister, Zhu Wanting, was one of Xiao Yu’s lovers, although she was just one among many.
Even so, Zhu Wanting was quite satisfied. She gave a proud yet shy smile, then coyly exclaimed, "Brother~~~!"
Zhu Qifeng burst into laughter.
Zhu Wanting, still looking proud, then saw Qin Hao, and her brow furrowed with displeasure.
"Hey, what are you doing standing around? I’ve never seen such an oblivious waiter!"
"Do you know what my relationship with Young Master Xiao is? Hurry up and clean my brother’s shoes. If you upset Young Master Xiao later, you, as a waiter, won’t be able to handle the consequences!"
Qin Hao glanced up at her. This woman had refined features and an excellent figure, her low-cut gown revealing a wide expanse of fair skin and a deep cleavage.
But her whole aura exuded a sense of being worn out. Even in her luxurious dress, it wouldn’t seem out of place if she had a badge on her waist as the top hostess of a nightclub.
Qin Hao just gave her a disdainful glance, then turned around, selected an unopened bottle of red wine from the table, and leisurely twisted it open. Then with a pop, he opened the bottle.
This bottle of wine was prepared specifically for Xiao Yu’s birthday as a gift.
He poured half a glass of red wine into a goblet, then walked towards Xiao Yu with the glass.
Zhu Wanting saw Qin Hao’s actions and became even angrier, her face full of wrath. She scolded immediately, "Stop! Who do you think you are? Even daring to go up and toast Young Master Xiao?"
Zhu Qifeng was also taken aback by Qin Hao’s action. He quickly stepped forward, attempting to grab Qin Hao’s arm. In his eyes, a small waiter like Qin Hao would definitely incur Xiao Yu’s wrath if he went up to toast him.
"Who do you think you are, not even knowing your place? You’re not even worthy to carry Young Master Xiao’s shoes. Hurry up and clean my shoes, or I’ll make you lick them clean!"
Zhu Qifeng shouted while reaching out to grab Qin Hao’s arm.
At this moment, Qin Hao finally frowned. He stopped, looked back at the Zhu siblings in displeasure, then coldly spat out two words.
"Looking to die!"
Saying that, he struck out with his other hand, the one not holding the glass, swiftly delivering two crisp slaps that echoed in the hall.
Both Zhu Qifeng and Zhu Wanting were spun around in place by the slap. Zhu Wanting lost her balance and sat down heavily on the floor.
Yet, the glass in Qin Hao’s hand did not spill a single drop.
Having smacked away the blind Zhu siblings, he continued walking steadily towards Xiao Yu.
At this point, everyone’s focus was on Xiao Yu, and as Qin Hao and the Zhu siblings were still some distance from him, his loud slaps didn’t attract much attention as everyone was busy currying favor with Xiao Yu.
Qin Hao, holding the goblet, continued towards Xiao Yu, step by step. The more he advanced, the more guests surrounded him. But as he approached, without him making any movement, people involuntarily made way for him, seemingly without realizing it.
Soon, Qin Hao passed through the crowd and stood in front of Xiao Yu.
At this moment, Xiao Yu was beaming, chatting happily with the patriarchs of several influential families from the provincial government, occasionally letting out light laughter, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Qin Hao stood not far away, his lips curling in disdain, and gently swirled the goblet in his hand. The half-glass of crimson wine swayed in the transparent glass.
A middle-aged bald man with a fawning smile bared his teeth in flattery, saying something to Xiao Yu that made everyone present chuckle lightly, with Xiao Yu’s smile being particularly radiant.
At that moment, Qin Hao’s wrist flicked, and that goblet of crimson wine turned into a sharp sword, shooting directly towards Xiao Yu’s face.
Pop!
A splash of clear liquid!
Wine splashed all over Xiao Yu’s face, and the force behind it made him lose his balance and fall straight back.
With a thud, Xiao Yu hit the ground, his face stinging as if slapped twice. Everyone was dumbfounded, while Qin Hao, holding an empty goblet, calmly walked up to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu wiped the wine off his face and immediately screamed hysterically, "Who! You’re courting death! Security! Arrest him now!"
He shouted while wiping his face. At that moment, his rage was paramount. At his own birthday party, he was embarrassed in front of all his guests. If this were to spread, the Xiao Family would lose face completely.
Xiao Yu had already decided that whoever splashed the wine, once caught, would be beaten to death on the spot. Only then could he regain his honor.
However, in his fury, Xiao Yu overlooked one fact: merely a splash of wine with such force could knock him down. That alone meant the person who splashed the wine was at a legendary level, able to harm with mere gestures.
The room was silent. Xiao Yu finished wiping his face and opened his eyes. He vaguely saw a familiar figure before him.
His heart skipped a beat; his intense anger dissipated by seventy or eighty percent. Immediately, Xiao Yu wiped his eyes with his sleeve and looked carefully at the person in front of him again.
And this time, the person’s image became clearer, confirming that he hadn’t been mistaken!
