"Young Master Chen is so righteous! I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." Qin Huai picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Just drinking tea isn't enough. I hit it off with Young Master Qin right away, so we have to have a couple of cups today."

Chen Huaidong shouted loudly, "Serve the food!"

One delicious dish after another was served, filling several tables.

The guests took their seats, but no one touched their chopsticks.

Looking at the lavish spread on the table, Qin Huai hesitated and said, "Young Master Chen, this engagement banquet..."

Chen Huaidong waved his hand with a rather magnanimous air: "What engagement banquet? This is a welcome banquet I prepared for Young Master Qin. Welcome to Chongcheng, Young Master Qin."

"Hahaha, then thank you very much for your hospitality, Young Master Chen. I'll toast you!"

"Young Master Qin, you're too kind. Let's eat and chat."

The two chatted happily, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

The guests also came up one after another to offer toasts and introduce themselves.

Lu Qingxue watched this scene with mixed feelings.

Qin Huai solved her immediate problem, but it was only a temporary fix.

Lies cannot withstand scrutiny. What will happen when Qin Huai's true identity is revealed?

Lu Zenian's feelings were equally complicated.

I feel like my precious daughter, whom I hold in the palm of my hand, has become some kind of commodity.

Two buyers are discussing ownership of the item.

I never even considered asking for their opinions.

But Lu Zenian couldn't do anything about it.

Qin Huai, needless to say, is the eldest son of the Qin family in the capital, with a noble status and position, whom he can only look up to.

Chen Huaidong was also a prodigy, capable of overthrowing the Lu Group with a wave of his hand. His cunning and ruthless tactics were beyond my comprehension.

Looking at the two young people drinking and chatting happily in front of him, Lu Zenian suddenly felt that he was getting old. He felt sad and could only force a smile and keep entertaining them.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Qin Huai had drunk quite a bit. His face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he looked somewhat drunk.

He and Chen Huaidong were arm in arm, like brothers from different fathers and mothers.

"Hiccup... Dongzi, I can't drink anymore, let's stop here for today."

Spittle mixed with a strong smell of alcohol sprayed all over Chen Huaidong's face.

Chen Huaidong felt utterly disgusted, but smiled and nodded, "Alright, as long as you enjoy your drinking, I won't try to stop you. Young Master Qin, where are you staying now? I'll have someone take you there."

"No, no need, my butler will take me."

Qin Huai waved his hand.

The middle-aged man, who had been stuffing himself with food, finally put down his chopsticks and helped Qin Huai to his feet.

The celebrities and dignitaries present all left their seats, and a group of people gave Qin Huai a great deal of face, escorting him to the door.

Qin Huai glanced at Lu Qingxue and grinned foolishly.

Lu Qingxue's face was burning, and she looked a little guilty, turning her head away from Qin Huai.

Qin Huai shifted his gaze to Lu Zenian and said, "Uncle Lu, let's visit each other more often in the future."

“Okay, Mr. Qin, come anytime you’re free.” Lu Zenian nodded quickly.

Because of his daughter, and with the protection of this young master of the Qin family, Chen Huaidong is unlikely to take any further action against the Lu Group.

"I'll definitely come more often!"

Qin Huai responded, then looked at Chen Huaidong: "Dongzi, we agreed on fair competition, you can't make things difficult for Uncle Lu."

Chen Huaidong smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Young Master Qin."

"Then I'll... hiccup, Qingxue, I'll be going now." Qin Huai said reluctantly.

Lu Qingxue kept her head down and didn't respond.

It wasn't until Lu Zenian quietly touched her that Lu Qingxue managed to squeeze out a soft "hmm" through her nose.

"Don't mind her, Young Master Qin, Qingxue is just shy," Lu Zenian said.

"No, I don't mind, how could I mind... Hahaha, hiccup, let's go... let's go."

Qin Huai's intoxication seemed to be getting more and more obvious, and his steps were unsteady.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Huai was helped into an ordinary black sedan by a middle-aged man.

It was already past 10 p.m.

As night fell, the city was enveloped in colorful neon lights.

The car sped away, and Qin Huai immediately sat up straight, his eyes clearing of alcohol.

The middle-aged man in the tuxedo called out with a wry smile, "Young Master..."

Qin Huai said, "Uncle Xiao, thank you for your trouble. You can go back to the capital now."

"Aren't you going back yet? You've been away from home for five years! Your father misses you terribly, and he looks at your picture every night and cries silently..."

"Stop!"

Qin Huai looked at the middle-aged man with disdain: "Uncle Xiao, can you at least rehearse your lies before you lie? Him? He cries every night looking at my photos, am I dead? He must be having a great time playing 'Kuaissou' with Aunt Lan every night."

The middle-aged man was speechless, unable to refute the argument.

Because Qin Huai is absolutely right.

After a moment of silence, he said, "But it's not right for you to keep wandering around like this. What young master would give up a good life and run away from home for years without coming back?"

"Good days?"

Qin Huai rolled his eyes, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"They spread my legs apart first, fine, but now they're trying to kick me..."

A particularly lewd ringtone came from the phone.

After a while, the call was connected.

"You little brat, you finally decided to call me?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Qin Huai was blunt: "I'm short of money right now, transfer me a billion or two hundred million."

"Are you crazy?!"

"One hundred million is fine too."

You want to eat shit?!

"Fifty million?"

"Five hundred yuan, not a penny more."

Qin Huai asked quietly, "I'm not your biological son at all, am I?"

"Huh? Hello? Hello! This damn phone, why is the signal so bad? Hello! You little brat, are you still listening? Muah muah? Never mind, let's talk later... Consort Lan, I'm here..."

The call was hung up.

Qin Huai looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly: "Uncle Xiao, what do you think?"

The middle-aged man covered his face, then took out five red bills from his wallet: "Young master, take these and have something good to eat. I'll head back now."

He left with extreme decisiveness, not even waiting for the car to come to a complete stop before opening the door, getting out, and dashing away at a speed of 100 meters in five seconds, disappearing around the street corner.

The driver turned to look at Qin Huai, his eyes filled with disdain: "Sir, it's almost time. Are you still renting the car?"

"I'm not renting it anymore."

Qin Huai got off the bus and lit a cigarette.

"You're asking for trouble! Young master? Bah!"

The driver cursed and started the car, driving away and spraying Qin Huai with exhaust fumes.

Qin Huai wasn't angry. He just silently memorized the car's license plate number, puffed on his cigarette, picked up his phone, accessed the encrypted system, and made a call.

"Number, code name 'Never Night,' report mission progress."

"Voice confirmed, number confirmed."

"Instruction code 5,1,54,26,94".

"The code is clear."

call ended.

Qin Huai walked all the way back to his rented room.

The phone vibrated the moment I closed the door.

Qin Huai pressed the answer button, and a deep red, cold voice came through: "Speak."

"The target has been identified; this is our first contact today." Qin Huai took a bottle of mineral water and opened it.

Shen Hong said, "As long as you do not violate national laws, whatever means you use to stop his intention to control the economic lifeline of Southwest China and obtain information about the foreign forces behind him, you will have completed your mission."

Qin Huai drank half a bottle of water in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "I need financial support."

There was a long silence on the phone before Shen Hong finally spoke, "The organization is facing some financial difficulties lately..."

Qin Huai pursed his lips and said, "Just tell me how much you can give."

Crimson asked in return, "How much do you usually spend on breakfast?"

"I don't eat breakfast."

"What about lunch?"

“Normally I cook for myself. If I really don’t want to cook, I just go downstairs to the restaurant and order one meat dish and one vegetable dish.”

As Qin Huai answered, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Crimson remained cold: "Then when you go to the restaurant downstairs tomorrow at noon, order an extra soup. The organization will reimburse you."

Qin Huai: "..."
