Bo Ling was no fool. As a beauty, she had encountered all sorts of people trying to strike up a conversation. If she hadn't been cautious, she would have fallen for someone's tricks long ago. After the youth uttered those words, she understood his intentions.

"There's no need for that, I'm just a bit curious," Bo Ling shook her head and said, "Who Mr. Qin is actually has nothing to do with me."

"What a pity," the youth said with a light shake of his head. "You're Bo Ling, right? Actually, you're already seriously ill. Without treatment, you'll undoubtedly die within three years!"

"What are you saying!" Bo Ling fumed, her pretty face flushing red. "How can you say such a thing, cursing me!"

"Exactly! How can you curse someone!" Cui Danwei and Shangguan Wen, also angered, pointed at the youth and said, "That's really too much! It's despicable!"

"HAHAHA! Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter." The youth snapped his fingers at Bo Ling, saying, "In three days, you'll feel disoriented. In five days, you'll struggle to breathe. When that time comes, you can come and find me, and then I'll take you to Mr. Qin. Let him cure your illness. Rest assured, Mr. Qin is exceptionally learned and skilled; he will certainly be able to cure you."

This youth kept referring to Mr. Qin as if he were Mr. Qin's spokesperson, yet he revealed nothing about his own identity. Clearly, Mr. Qin's name was just being used as a scapegoat. His real purpose was actually Bo Ling, with her flower-like beauty, mature charm, fiery figure, and lovely face!

"Is it with this thing that you made Bo Ling ill?" Qin Heng suddenly stood up, holding a green insect in his hand, looked at the youth, and said scornfully, "You've got some nerve!"

In the carriage, everyone immediately turned to look at him. Qin Heng was holding an odd insect, the size of a thumbnail, entirely green and possessing six pairs of eyes. The insect's appearance was incredibly disgusting, making people's skin crawl.

"Mr. Qin, throw away that insect right now!" Bo Ling paled with fright upon seeing the insect and cried out in panic, "That thing must be poisonous!"

She still believed Qin Heng was just an ordinary person, merely the heir to the Daqin Group. Facing such a bizarre insect would surely be incredibly dangerous for him!

"Impossible! How could you catch my Gu Worm!!" The youth, however, stared at Qin Heng in shock, his expression turning ferocious as he shouted, "You're looking for death! HAHAHA! Kid, you're courting death! My Gu Worm is highly toxic; touch it and you die!!"

POP!

Qin Heng simply crushed the green Gu Worm, making it explode into fragments and vanish.

"PFFT!" The youth spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief. "AAARGH! My Gu Worm! How could you destroy my Gu Worm? You're clearly not a Martial Artist!!"

For a practitioner of Gu Art, the Gu Worm was akin to a life-bound magic item. Now that the worm was destroyed, the youth was instantly severely injured, his gaze fixed on Qin Heng, filled with immense resentment!

"No matter who you are, for destroying my Gu Worm, this creates a blood feud between us, irreconcilable until death!!" the youth said, glaring coldly at Qin Heng. "You're dead! I am Meng..., a Gu Art practitioner from South Shu... Mmmph! Mmmph!"

Before the youth could finish, Qin Heng grabbed his neck, cutting off his words.

"Dead men don't get to announce their names. You should just shut up," Qin Heng said indifferently, lifting the youth effortlessly as if he were a piece of trash. He then said to Bo Ling, "Let's go."

Then, he walked towards the exit of the carriage.

"Huh??" Bo Ling froze, staring blankly at Qin Heng.

"What's going on?"

The people in the carriage were dumbfounded, watching Qin Heng walk out, incredulous. How could he just walk out like that?!

The He Family outside is here to welcome Mr. Qin, not you!

"Mr. Qin! Come back!" Bo Ling was anxious, hurrying after him. "Mr. Qin! Those people outside are from the Legitimate Line of the He Family from Beijing, a six-hundred-year-old family! They are kneeling to welcome a significant figure!"

"Aren't they here to welcome Mr. Qin?" Qin Heng glanced at Bo Ling and chuckled. "That should be me, then."

"It's true that the He Family is here to welcome Mr. Qin, but surely not you!" Bo Ling exclaimed, stomping her foot in frustration. "Even if Mr. Qin Fa, the chairman, were here, the He Family wouldn't welcome him like this."

Bo Ling, mindful of Qin Heng's status, didn't explain the situation too bluntly. However, her meaning was clear: Qin Heng's status wasn't high enough to warrant such a reception from the He Family.

"HAHAHA!!" The youth, whose neck was grasped by Qin Heng, suddenly burst into laughter and said scornfully, "Kid, arrogance has its limits. Do you even know what kind of family the He Family is? Only a powerhouse like Qin Xuantian, someone who has completely transcended the mundane, is worthy of the He Family kneeling to welcome them. And who do you think you are? Do you really think that anyone with the surname Qin is Mr. Qin? Hilarious!"

Clearly, the youth also didn't believe Qin Heng was the Mr. Qin the He Family was there to welcome.

"Heh," Qin Heng scoffed coldly, no longer bothering with him. He simply said to Bo Ling, "Just follow me."

After speaking, he carried the youth and slowly walked out of the carriage.

He now faced them—Beijing's illustrious six-hundred-year-old noble family, prominent since the Ming Dynasty; a top-tier family clan with many members holding high positions even in modern times! All members of the He Family's Legitimate Line!! These great figures, each one a household name, were now all kneeling on the ground respectfully, heads bowed, not even daring to look straight ahead.

The moment Qin Heng stepped out, he received their obeisance. Whether or not he was the one the He Family had come to welcome, he had now accepted the kowtows of all members of the He Family's Legitimate Line!!

This was terrifying!

Everyone in the business-class carriage was stunned, watching Qin Heng with disbelief.

They hadn't expected him to actually step out!

"Holy shit! Is this guy courting death? He actually stepped out. Does he really think he's the Mr. Qin the He Family came to welcome?"

"What was he thinking? Shit! His stepping out means the He Family effectively knelt to him!"

"He's finished! His life is over! The He Family will absolutely not let him off!"

The people cried out in alarm. The power of the He Family was truly terrifying; there were very few in all of China who could afford to offend them!!

However, what happened next stunned everyone in the carriage, as well as Bo Ling who had followed Qin Heng out, and the youth he held in his hand! They were dumbfounded, disbelief written all over their faces, as if they had seen a ghost!

Qin Heng had just stepped out of the carriage and taken his stand when the Head of the He Family, who was at the forefront, crawled over to Qin Heng's feet and kowtowed respectfully!

"Welcome, Mr. Qin!!"

The more than one hundred members of the He Family's Legitimate Line behind him also reacted. Including people like He Yiming, all of them once again kowtowed respectfully to Qin Heng, shouting loudly, "Welcome, Mr. Qin, to Beijing!!"

Their shouts were perfectly synchronized, without the slightest dissonance. Clearly, this had been rehearsed countless times; otherwise, it could never have been so perfectly synchronized!

The person the He Family was here to welcome! It was actually... It was actually him!

"OH MY GOD!"

Everyone who witnessed this scene was completely dumbfounded!!
