The two people came to the restaurant.
Qin Hanyue found a window seat and got the person settled in nicely.
"I'm going across the street to buy something, I'll be right back," said Qin Hanyue, then he headed out of the restaurant.
Qiao Ying thought to herself: Couldn't he just call Qin Yan to go buy it?
Across the street from the restaurant was a cake shop. Qin Hanyue went inside to take a look around, and picked out the most expensive and nicest looking one.
Carrying the packaged cake as he walked out of the store, suddenly seven or eight cars rushed over surrounding Qin Hanyue. The car doors opened, over ten dark muzzles of guns pointed towards him.
Inside the restaurant, Dog Zax squatted obediently on the floor, staring at Qiao Ying, panting with his tongue out, making sounds from time to time to let Qiao Ying know he was by her side, extremely clever.
Dog Zax noticed the situation at the cake shop across the street. It stood up to take a look, and saw Qin Hanyue being taken away by some people.
It watched as the cars left, then calmly squatted back down to continue watching Qiao Ying, with no intention of letting out a bark or two to alert Qiao Ying.
It didn't care at all whether Qin Hanyue lived or died.
In fact it even gloated a little.
At this time Qin Yan was still sitting beautifully in the car counting money...
Qin Hanyue was taken captive.
It didn't take a genius to know that the people from the casino had come for revenge, their speed was quite fast. To openly wield guns and capture someone in broad daylight, the casino owner behind the scenes was definitely not an average person.
Soon, the cars drove into a luxurious private manor, inside which stood an extravagant castle.
With guns constantly pointed at his forehead, Qin Hanyue was yelled at to get out of the car upon arriving.
To think that he, the prestigious Third Master Qin, when had he ever suffered this kind of treatment.
The castle master was dressed splendidly. In this medieval style grand castle, he had somewhat the air of royalty and nobility.
The castle master was the casino owner behind the scenes.
Also present was the casino manager who had been kicked out by him.
The casino manager was extremely emotional, the hatred and fury in his eyes looked about to spew out. Swearing obscenities, he snatched a gun from one of his underlings and wanted to first cripple one of Qin Hanyue's legs.
The castle master stopped the manager.
The castle master had a daughter. Upon hearing that her family's casino had been smashed up by two Asian men, no matter what she insisted on meeting and teaching them a lesson herself, wanting to tie them to her carriage to be dragged through the streets.
But when she saw Qin Hanyue, the woman was stunned.
The castle master was a local tycoon, an intelligent man. Based on Qin Hanyue's looks and temperament, he knew that this opponent was no ordinary person, so he refrained from rash actions.
The castle master was very prudent, especially in dealing with Asians, because their most powerful Duke was half Asian himself. Having been ruled by the Duke for years, they harbored both hatred and fear towards Asians on a subconscious level.
"So you're the one who smashed up my casino? What's your name?"
Qin Hanyue finally had a chance to speak. He was too lazy to tell them his background, and simply said, "I'm from Duke Lin's mansion."
On the way here after being captured, his phone in his pocket had buzzed twice. That must have been Qiao Ying calling him.
He was anxious to call Qiao Ying back.
The casino manager was eager for revenge. "Sir, don't let him fool you. Asians are the best at spewing lies. I say we kill him directly."
"What proof do you have?" The castle master ignored the manager.
Qin Hanyue: "Shall I have him personally tell you?"
He reached towards his pants pocket, indicating that he wanted to take out his phone.
The castle master's daughter looked at the calm and unruffled Qin Hanyue, and her heart beat faster and faster.
Under her father’s tacit consent, Qin Hanyue took out his phone, and accidentally pulled out the badge along with it.
He had yet to return the badge to Qiao Ying.
When the castle master's daughter took a close look, she exclaimed:
"That's the Duke's crest!"
Qiao Ying received Qin Hanyue's phone call at the restaurant.
Shortly after, Qin Yan rushed over to pick her up and take her back.
And Qin Hanyue was already sitting in the car on the way back to the Duke's mansion. The castle master personally sent him back, and with him was the castle master's daughter, Alice.
Alice opened the car door and sat directly next to Qin Hanyue. Qin Hanyue frowned, gazing out of the car window.
Her father completely condoned his daughter's behavior, and took another car himself.
Not to mention that at first glance Qin Hanyue was clearly an exceptional person. Whether judging by his looks or temperament, he was no less inferior to the pedigreed nobles of royalty, and was perhaps even slightly superior. He also had a close relationship with the Duke. If possible, the castle master desperately hoped his daughter could capture Qin Hanyue's heart. "My name is Alice, what's your name?"
Seeing Qin Hanyue ignoring her, the spoiled size-miss temper in Alice almost flared up, but she quickly restrained herself.
"I quite enjoy eating this cake too. Did you buy it for your family? May I try a bite?"
Qin Hanyue's tone was cold as he spoke in French. "The cake was bought for the girl I love to eat. Stop bothering me."
Qiao Ying returned to the castle, where Lin Cheng was already waiting for her.
Lin Cheng had some criticisms about them taking his beloved dog out without notice. But seeing how happy the dog was, furiously wagging its tail at him, Lin Cheng didn't say much more.
He only told Qiao Ying, "I rarely take Zax out. Usually when I let him out it's with the army following along."
Qiao Ying: “Unlike cats, dogs don’t get stressed by unfamiliar environments. He had a great time playing.”
Lin Cheng: “What if he gets lost?”
Qiao Ying: “He came along with us voluntarily.”
After checking the surveillance, it was indeed the case that the dog had spontaneously jumped onto their car.
Lin Cheng had nothing more to say. He lightly scolded the dog, "So disobedient."
"Woof!"
The housekeeper came in to inform Lin Cheng: "Your grace, Mr. Smith has brought his daughter to send Mr. Qin back. Mr. Smith requests an audience with you."
Lin Cheng: "Refused."
Lin Cheng already knew about the casino incident. He told Qiao Ying, "I will handle them legally for the casino matter."
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the housekeeper understood.
A few minutes later, Qin Hanyue came back carrying the cake.
Lin Cheng politely offered a superficial sentiment. "To have caused distress to Mr. Qin on my own territory, please accept my apologies."
Qin Hanyue: "This had nothing to do with the Duke."
He walked straight towards Qiao Ying and asked caringly, "Did you already have lunch at the restaurant earlier?"
But Qiao Ying's fine brows raised slightly as she commented, "You smell quite strongly of perfume."
Due to her blindness, her other senses had become even keener. Qin Hanyue had only brushed against it briefly, yet Qiao Ying still found it pungent.
Qin Yan immediately looked towards Qin Hanyue: Perfume smell? Woman? Just what did Third Master go do!
Lin Cheng stood to the side stroking his cat, enjoying the show. He thought, earlier these two were just holding hands, but seems like today is a little different.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hanyue held out the cake towards Qin Yan, matching eyes with Qin Yan's adulterous stare. Qin Hanyue was itching to give him a kick and stomp him to death.
With his hands freed up, Qin Hanyue directly took off his suit jacket, explaining while doing so, "Accidentally got some on me, will be more careful next time."
Qin Hanyue assumed Qiao Ying would care at least a little, but her reaction was just like Lin Cheng's, purely enjoying the spectacle.
Teasingly she commented: "Seeking to avenge some grievance, yet coming back drenched in the scent of flowers, Sir Qin's blessings are not shallow."
It must have been the casino owner Mr. Smith's daughter.
If only Qiao Ying had used a different tone, Qin Hanyue would have grounds to feel she was jealous. This unavoidably left Qin Hanyue feeling somewhat dejected. He could only comfort himself that this was just her personality. His place in her heart was still insufficient, if he wanted her to be jealous, it was still too early.
Qin Yan thought: As expected of my idol, true masters lock their hearts! Men will only interfere with coding speed.
