Chapter 65 Being A Man, There's No Room for Romance Between Us

After Su Ji departed, her silver Mercedes Benz stayed put. Before long, the car door swung open, and a man hopped out.

"Qin Chao, let's have a talk."

Jiang Dong had changed into a new suit, his arrogant air intact, attracting the attention of several young girls. He was the very image of their Prince Charming, a handsome man in an expensive suit, exuding charm and driving a Mercedes. Well, perhaps more accurately, he was their 'Prince of the Silver Car.'

"I'm sorry, I've got something to attend to. Wait for me there," Qin Chao responded nonchalantly, waving his hand dismissively. Left with no choice, Jiang Dong reluctantly crawled back into the car.

Wang Wenkun was dumbfounded once again. The man in the suit from the Mercedes was none other than Jiang Dong, the household manager of the Su family. He was, essentially, the person directly responsible for the Su family. At times, his words even held more weight than Su Fei's, because he was Su Xianqin's direct steward with substantial power.

And this rascal Qin Chao just waved him off?

Wang Wenkun couldn't help but reassess Qin Chao's capabilities. The more he did, the more he realized that he was no match for this man.

Qin Chao, however, couldn't care less about what Wang Wenkun thought. He finally spotted Sun Xiaofeng among the students.

The tall man was now walking ostentatiously into the school, an attractive girl in his arms.

Qin Chao immediately activated his demonic eye, focusing it on the president of the Dance Club. Surprisingly, he couldn't see any ghosts!

Qin Chao was taken aback. According to Rosy, Sun Xiaofeng was possessed by a Ghost King. These ghosts were incredibly powerful and could even hide in the yang energy of a human body, avoiding his demonic eye.

"Excuse me, your clothes are disheveled. It's not good for our school's image. Please come with me."

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to!" Sun Xiaofeng, having been beaten by Qin Chao yesterday, was still nursing a grudge. After a restless night with his new girlfriend, he didn't need a security guard bothering him early in the morning. His anger was instantly reignited.

However, when he turned his head, he was shocked to find it was Qin Chao. His legs immediately went weak, and he would have fallen flat on his rear if his girlfriend hadn't been there to steady him.

"What... What do you want?" Sun Xiaofeng's eyes were filled with fear as he turned to Wang Wenkun for help.

"Wang, Director Wang, he... he..."

"Qin Chao, go ahead with your business. I'll keep an eye on things here," Wang Wenkun replied with a surprisingly friendly smile.

Qin Chao nodded, stood up from his chair, walked over to Sun Xiaofeng, draped his arm over his shoulder and said, "Look at you, all scared. I won't hurt you. Miss, please wait here. I'll return your boyfriend to you shortly."

The girl was clueless about what was going on. If the security guard wanted to talk to her boyfriend, let them talk. They were all grown men, what kind of illicit affair could possibly happen?

"Alright then," she responded cheerfully.

Sun Xiaofeng despaired as he was forcefully led away by Qin Chao to the security office.

At that moment, aside from Qin Chao and Sun Xiaofeng, there were no other people in the security office. Zhang Li was asleep in the adjacent rest room, undisturbed by their presence.

"Big... big brother, I was wrong yesterday, it was my fault, please spare me. I'm still a kid, I don’t understand things."

Qin Chao sat on the couch while Sun Xiaofeng, shivering in front of him, began to weep messily, even slapping himself on the face a couple of times.

"What on earth are you doing?" Qin Chao asked, a mix of amusement and confusion. "Just sit down, I only wanted to have a chat with you."

He then quickly ushered Sun Xiaofeng onto the couch.

"Want some water?"

"No... not thirsty..."

"Do you smoke?"

"No... don't know how..." Sun Xiaofeng resembled a timid little wife, sitting nervously on the edge of the couch, barely lifting his bottom, scared that Qin Chao might suddenly throw a punch that would send him sprawling on the ground.

His legs were still throbbing faintly.

"You look terrified. I just want to ask you some questions. Just answer honestly."

"I will... I will... My name is Sun Xiaofeng, male, 21 years old. I've had seven girlfriends. Two of them had abortions for me. I still keep in touch with three who live out of town, and two are in other schools in the city. I occasionally visit them..."

"Damn it! Who asked you all that!" Qin Chao was flabbergasted, thinking, ‘Were you here to confess or brag?’

Scared, Sun Xiaofeng quickly clamped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.

At that moment, the security office door opened and Chen Yingyang walked in.

"Brother Qin Chao, here you are! Were you waiting for me?"

"Wait for your uncle!"

"You're still as gruff as ever. I love it." Chen Yingyang flirted with Qin Chao, then noticed Sun Xiaofeng sitting on the couch, and his eyes brightened.

"Oh, isn't this President Sun, the president of the school's dance club? What brings you to our security office?"

"Interested in this guy?" Qin Chao raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to leave so you two can have some private space?"

"Sure, sure!" Chen Yingyang responded enthusiastically, giving Qin Chao a few grateful looks, as if to assure him that he wouldn't play favorites.

"No, no!" Sun Xiaofeng, seemingly aware of Chen Yingyang's particular preferences, hastily grabbed Qin Chao's arm. "You can ask me anything, but please don’t leave me alone with him!"

He was almost in tears, wondering how he had gotten himself into this situation.

"Very well, then tell me, have you noticed any strange behavior in yourself recently?"

"Strange?" Sun Xiaofeng paused, puzzled by Qin Chao's question.

"That's right, anything different from your usual behavior."

"Well… I…" Sun Xiaofeng seemed to have thought of something and started to look hesitant.

"Speak!" Qin Chao roared, startling Sun Xiaofeng, who quickly complied.

"Well, my... my girlfriends all said that when we were... intimate, I sometimes suddenly became violent, as if I were a different person, filled with murderous intent. They also said that my... performance improved dramatically..."

"Damn!" Qin Chao rolled his eyes, unable to help himself. "You must be on some kind of drugs!"

"Absolutely not!" Sun Xiaofeng immediately exclaimed. "Though taking drugs might temporarily boost my strength, it would harm my body. I refuse to partake in such shortsightedness!"

"Is that so..." Qin Chao rubbed his nose, then suddenly said, "Well, I can forgive your previous offense. But you must promise me one thing. Otherwise... hmm..."

"What is it, just say it..."

"Stop attending the dance club rehearsals."

"What? That's not possible, I'm the club president!"

"So what, Mr. President? You don't even dance! Su Ji is there, why do you need to meddle?"

"Can I, can I go there once in a while?" Sun Xiaofeng was fond of the girls in the dance club, admiring their graceful movements when they danced was one of his greatest pleasures.

"Are you trying to negotiate with me?" The corner of Qin Chao's mouth curled into a smile, a hint of menace lurking behind it. It was clearly, starkly visible.

A chill ran down Sun Xiaofeng's spine, and he hastily capitulated.

"Fine, fine, I promise not to watch this time's rehearsal!" Confronted with overwhelming power, Sun Xiaofeng could only surrender.

"That's more like it." Qin Chao patted his shoulder happily. "Go on, your girlfriend is still waiting outside. Don't keep her anxious."

"Yes, yes!" As soon as he was excused, Sun Xiaofeng bolted from the security office. Chen Yingyang watched from the side, completely bewildered.

"What's happening? Sun Xiaofeng is usually quite proud. Why is he acting like a subservient today?"

"Of course, who dares to act high and mighty in front of me." Qin Chao chuckled, leaving a word to Chen Yingyang as he too exited the security office. "Keep an eye on him, by whatever means necessary. If he attempts to approach the dance rehearsal room, notify me immediately."

There was someone still waiting for him outside. Regardless of his feelings toward this individual, he had to show him some respect as the steward of the Su family.

As expected, the silver Mercedes E300 was still parked quietly nearby.

As Qin Chao approached the car, the door was immediately opened. Jiang Dong was seated inside.

"Get in," Jiang Dong said tersely.

Qin Chao didn't waste words and sat in the passenger's seat. As soon as Jiang Dong started the engine and pressed the accelerator, the Mercedes E300 darted off.

The car swerved left and right on the suburban roads, finally driving slowly towards the river in Songjiang.

Qin Chao was taken aback. Wasn't this where he had taken down Fang Hua? Why would Jiang Dong bring him here? Did he have some nefarious intentions?

Damn it, if he had known, he would have dragged Chen Yingyang along. He could have escaped when they disembarked.

The car drove smoothly, soon parking near the Songjiang River. A crooked tree stood nearby, seemingly witnessing everything that had happened there.

Fang Hua had died here that day, and he himself had nearly perished here.

"Thump!" Jiang Dong opened the car door and hopped out, then tapped on the window.

Qin Chao had no choice but to get out of the car. He was beginning to get an inkling of what Jiang Dong intended.

Jiang Dong took a deep breath, then took off his coat and threw it onto the car.

"Hey, whatever you're thinking, I'm not into that kind of thing," Qin Chao couldn't help but make a slightly wicked joke. At this, Jiang Dong's eyebrows twitched fiercely.

"I want to duel you. If you're a man, you'll accept the challenge." Jiang Dong pulled out a pair of leather gloves, slipped them on, and then crooked his finger at Qin Chao.

"A duel? For what reason?" Qin Chao ignored his provocation, instead lighting a cigarette and placing it between his lips, he asked.

"If you lose, you are not to approach Miss Su anymore."

"Oh?" Qin Chao arched an eyebrow, "And what if I win?"

"Impossible! Even if it means death, I won't let you win!" Jiang Dong clenched his fists and struck them together, stating vehemently.

"Tsk, this scoundrel-type of duel is all in your favor, do you really think I'd agree?" Qin Chao spoke dismissively. "If you lose, you should at least agree to one of my terms."

"What terms?" Jiang Dong frowned. He hadn't considered the possibility of losing. He was ready to stake everything on this fight.

"I haven't thought of it yet." Qin Chao tossed the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it under his foot. "I'll tell you when I figure it out."

"Then let's do it!" Jiang Dong growled and, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he lunged forward.
