Zhang Jianci said, “We can always compensate with money. We’re not exactly strapped for cash.” Then he added confidently, “Whatever the cost, Brother Ming will cover it.”

Qin Zhen’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Shen Qingyue. “You’re the President of the Shen Group, after all. Do you think public opinion will just overlook this? Or do you simply not care about Shen Group’s reputation? If you apologize now, I might not pursue…”

“President Qin!” Chi Ming interrupted him. “You can try and see if any newspaper dares to publish it.”

His words were resolute and fearless.

Qin Zhen sneered. “Mr. Chi, you certainly have a big mouth!”

Chi Ming ignored his provocation, shifted his gaze to Shen Qingyue, and softened his tone slightly. “Shall we go have lunch now? There are too many scum here, and the air isn’t good.”

Shen Qingyue had wanted to leave a long time ago and called Chen Ying to accompany her as they walked away.

When Qin Zhen saw the two of them leaving, his expression worsened, and he ordered his bodyguards behind him, “Stop them!”

Several bodyguards received the command and moved to chase after them but were blocked by Zhang Jianci and his group. Zhang Jianci said, “President Qin, are you treating me and my brothers as if we’re invisible? I heard that the Qin family’s bodyguards are well-trained. Today, let us see how good they really are. ”

Qin Zhen asked, “Are you looking for trouble?”

Zhang Jianci grinned maliciously and then threw a punch, “You got it right! I’ve been itching to teach you a lesson for a long time!”

Shen Qingyue turned back and glanced at the fight that had broken out. However, it seemed like Qin Zhen’s side was struggling to hold their own. “I hope Zhang Jianci will be okay,” she thought aloud.

There’s a police station nearby, and she was worried that Zhang Jianci might get into trouble because of her.

Chi Ming could see her concern. “The police won’t come until they’re finished,” he said. He dared to let Zhang Jianci act because he was prepared.

Chen Ying was still bewildered. “Chi Ming, when you were abroad all those years, did you get involved with the underworld? Or has your family always been like this?” She recalled some rumors from the past, suggesting that Chi Ming’s grandfather initially made his fortune in a foreign gambling city. In a place like that, how could someone succeed without some ties to the underworld?

Bringing up this topic, Shen Qingyue suddenly remembered something. She hadn’t thought there was anything wrong with her memories before, but now she suddenly recalled a news article from her previous life about Chi Ming’s parents and younger brother dying in a gambling city. It was said to be a terrorist attack! It was strange; why had she never had this memory before? Could it be that such significant events only came to mind when they were approaching? Was it a side effect of her reincarnation?

However, Shen Qingyue remembered that her parents also died in a terrorist attack. Moreover, it seemed that after Chi Ming’s trouble, the Shen family fell into decline. Thinking about this, she furrowed her brow slightly, sensing some connection between the two. So in her previous life, did Chi Ming help her from the shadows? But then why didn’t he step forward later?

Her thoughts drifted, and she opened the car door and got in, but Chen Ying did not join her.

Shen Qingyue asked, “What are you doing? Get in the car.”

Chen Ying smirked. “I’m not going to be a third wheel. I’m leaving. I wish you a pleasant date.”

Shen Qingyue retorted, “This isn’t a date, you…”

Chen Ying did not wait for her explanation, and she reached into the car, grabbed Shen Qingyue’s car keys, and said, “I’ll borrow your car. Bye.” With that, she quickly ran off.

Shen Qingyue helplessly withdrew her gaze. “She has no filter on her mouth, as you know. Don’t mind her.”

“Why would I mind?” Chi Ming leaned back in his seat, his eyes deep. “I was thinking the same thing.”

Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment. “Don’t you have a girlfriend? Why are you saying this…”

Chi Ming was understanding. “Girlfriend?”

Shen Qingyue reminded him, “The one I met in the hotel restroom last time…”

Chi Ming understood and said, “Wei Wei is my sister. She came back here for business, and I went to pick her up.”

Shen Qingyue asked, “I remember you only had one younger brother. Is she a relative?”

Chi Ming replied, “No.”

Shen Qingyue fell silent.

Chi Ming turned his dark gaze toward her. “I’ll ask her to leave tomorrow.”

Shen Qingyue said, “She’s here for business and has only been here for two days. You want her to go back already? Besides, where would you send a young girl like her?”

“She makes you uncomfortable, so I can’t let her stay here any longer. No matter where she goes, she definitely can’t stay under your nose.” Chi Ming’s words were casual, but they carried a weight that could not be ignored..
