"What did you say!"
Meng Shulan's eyes turned cold.
*Swish.*
The guards she brought all looked at Qin Yi in unison, their expressions hostile.
However, Qin Yi ignored them, completely unfazed.
Instead, he deliberately took a step closer to Meng Shulan and said word for word, "I said, if I had known you were such people who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and repaid kindness with enmity, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted today and saved your son! I should have let the tiger devour him!"
"Presumptuous!" Meng Shulan was furious and commanded, "Seize him! I want to rip out his tongue!"
The guards erupted with imposing auras, poised to attack Qin Yi.
Qin Yi stood his ground, prepared to fight.
Just then, Han Sanwan rushed into the hotel, shouting, "Stop! Qin Yi, Madam Meng, both of you calm down..."
Han Xin immediately met Han Sanwan, "Dad, why are you here so quickly?"
"I was handling some business nearby, and when you called, I came over!"
Han Sanwan replied, then he and Han Xin asked in unison, "Xiao Xin, what exactly is going on? Why is Qin Yi in conflict with Meng Shulan?"
"Qin Yi saved Meng Shulan's son in Yunwu Mountain this morning..."
Han Xin explained briefly to Han Sanwan.
After listening, Han Sanwan was filled with indignation, angry at Meng Shulan's behavior and feeling injustice for Qin Yi!
He then patted Han Xin's shoulder and walked up, saying, "Madam Meng, isn't what you're doing very inappropriate?"
"Qin Yi saved your son's life; you should be thanking him, yet you want to arrest him now. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity!"
"Han the Richest Man, are you here to stand up for him?"
Meng Shulan said without mincing words, "If that's the case, I advise you to think carefully! You may be the richest man in Haicheng and seem powerful to others, but to me, you are nothing!"
"You..."
Looking down upon by the other party like this, Han Sanwan's face turned ashen.
However, even though he was very angry, he suppressed it and did not erupt.
This was because behind Meng Shulan stood the mayor of Lingnan City. As the saying goes, "the common people should not fight with officials." Han Sanwan, no matter how wealthy, dared not easily offend Meng Shulan.
Han Sanwan took a deep breath and spoke cordially, "Madam Meng, we are old acquaintances. Mayor Jin and I are also friends. When our Han Group invested in Lingnan before, we contributed to Lingnan's economic development and also supported Mayor Jin's work..."
"Qin Yi is my daughter's boyfriend. I hope Madam Meng can give me some face and not make things difficult for him in this matter!"
"After all, Qin Yi saved your son, not harmed him!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Shulan looked at Han Xin beside her and then at Qin Yi, and said strangely, "Han Sanwan, I really don't understand what you people are thinking!"
"You are the richest man in Haicheng, and your daughter isn't bad-looking either. Why would you fall for a low-born, commoner, and moreover, a convicted criminal!"
"If you're not picky eaters, why doesn't Han Sanwan have his daughter come with my younger brother!"
"Although my younger brother is a bit older and widowed with a teenage son, I think he is still better than a criminal!"
*Whoosh.*
Hearing her words, both Han Sanwan, Qin Yi, and Han Xin were filled with rage, their tempers instantly igniting.
In an instant, Han Sanwan's face turned completely black, and he directly asked, "Madam Meng, are you truly not giving me any face tonight?"
"No!"
Meng Shulan answered without hesitation.
"Guards, call all the security guards from the hotel..."
Han Sanwan shouted.
Immediately, all the security guards from the Royal Court Hotel arrived in the hall.
Meng Shulan, far from being concerned, wore a disdainful smile, "What is it, Han the Richest Man? Are you going to fight me for a criminal?"
"With me here today, you won't take Qin Yi away!" Han Sanwan stated firmly.
"President Han..."
Qin Yi wanted to say something, but before he could utter two words, Han Sanwan cut him off, "Qin Yi, don't worry, with me here today, I definitely won't let her take you away!"
Han Xin also hurried forward, tightly gripping Qin Yi's hand, "Qin Yi, let Dad handle this, he'll definitely sort it out!"
Qin Yi felt both touched and somewhat helpless.
Actually, what he really wanted to say was that with the guards Meng Shulan brought, wanting to take him away was a pipe dream!
He didn't take them seriously at all!
"Haha, such big talk! I'd like to see if you, Han the Richest Man, can protect him!"
Meng Shulan sneered disdainfully and gave a look to a guard beside her, who then moved.
Besides Qin Yi, Han Sanwan, Han Xin, and the others only saw a blur as it charged towards the hotel security guards.
*Bang bang bang...*
Then, a series of dull thuds rang out, and the security guards fell to the ground one by one, all curled up in pain.
In less than a minute, all the dozen or so hotel security guards lay on the ground, groaning in agony.
Han Sanwan and Han Xin were both shocked and somewhat frightened by this scene.
The guard easily defeated the dozen security guards, patted his hands, and returned to stand beside Meng Shulan with a look of utter contempt.
Meng Shulan said triumphantly, "Well, Han the Richest Man, do you still want to protect him?"
This time, before Han Sanwan could speak, Qin Yi spoke first, "If you want to take me back to Lingnan, fine. I'm standing here right now, as long as you have the ability!"
Han Xin said worriedly, "Qin Yi..."
"Xinxin, have you forgotten that my martial arts are also very good?"
Han Xin was stunned and said nothing more.
Han Sanwan recalled how Qin Yi had easily dealt with the Lian family when they tried to deal with him last time, and fell silent for a moment.
However, Meng Shulan and the dozen or so guards beside her treated Qin Yi's words as if they were hearing the biggest joke.
Each of them showed a comical, disdainful, and contemptuous expression.
The next moment, at Meng Shulan's signal, the guard who had just dealt with the security guards stepped forward again.
He took two steps and, as before, his figure shot towards Qin Yi at high speed.
Everyone could only see a blur charging towards Qin Yi.
Clearly, he intended to finish Qin Yi in one move, just like before!
"Qin Yi, be careful..." Han Xin instinctively reminded him.
Han Sanwan's hands clenched involuntarily with nervousness.
Meng Shulan sat back in her seat and took out a cigarette, looking as if she was watching Qin Yi's downfall.
*Snap.*
However, before she could even light her cigarette, she saw the blur that was the guard rush to Qin Yi. Qin Yi casually waved his hand, and the opponent flew back.
He landed at her feet.
