"Audacious! How dare you speak to our Miss like that!"
Perhaps because Qin Yanyan's tone was poor, the bodyguard behind Miss Chen felt displeased. He immediately pointed a finger at Qin Yanyan and rebuked him.
"Noisy!"
Qin Yanyan merely glanced at the bodyguard, a chilling light radiating from his black eyes.
In an instant, the bodyguard trembled all over as if struck by an electric shock. He stumbled back several steps, hastily steadying himself against a table in a panic to avoid falling. Even so, he was already covered in cold sweat, and his heart was hammering wildly.
Just now, he had clearly felt an immensely powerful aura emanate from Qin Yanyan. He had never witnessed such an aura before; the presence bursting from the other man's body felt countless times stronger than that of the military region commanders he had met in the past, which was why he had made a fool of himself.
"A-long?"
Chen Jiaxin turned back in surprise to look at the bodyguard behind her. She was equally astonished in her heart; others might not know this bodyguard's background, but she knew it very well.
This bodyguard was named Li Long, hailing from the Huaxia Divine Dragon Special Operations Team. He was the king of special forces, whom she had poached from the military with an annual salary of thirty million.
Moreover, Chen Jiaxin was naturally well aware of Li Long's combat prowess. Li Long had previously participated in the Vietnam War, having seen blood, killed men, and been on the battlefield. His close-combat skills were top-tier; Chen Jiaxin had witnessed with her own eyes how Li Long fought more than twenty adult males barehanded and knocked them all down, which showed just how formidable he was.
Yet a special forces king like this had actually been forced back with a single glance by the unassuming young man surnamed Qin before her. Just what sort of sacred figure was this young man, and what on earth had he been through?
Following that, however, a wave of joy immediately welled up in Chen Jiaxin's heart. After all, she had previously harbored some doubts about Qin Yanyan's abilities, but now it seemed her worries were unfounded. Could someone capable of forcing Li Long back with a single glance be an ordinary person? It seemed her older brother might be saved after all.
"You..."
Perhaps feeling that he had lost face after being forced back by a single glance from Qin Yanyan, Li Long wanted to come over and beat Qin Yanyan, but he was rebuked by Chen Jiaxin.
"A-long, do not be rude to Mr. Qin!"
Hearing Chen Jiaxin's words, Li Long hesitated for a moment before ultimately refraining from making a move. He stepped back behind his employer.
"Mr. Qin, A-long was quite offensive just now. Since you are a magnanimous man, please don't take it to heart! I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Only then did Chen Jiaxin reveal a smile, personally pouring a cup of tea for Qin Yanyan.
"The ignorant are fearless!"
Qin Yanyan said indifferently, not sparing Li Long a single glance as he drained the tea in his cup in one gulp. Naturally, the present Qin Yanyan would not stoop to the level of someone like Li Long. After all, even if Li Long was a special forces king, before Qin Yanyan the cultivator, he was no different from an ant. Qin Yanyan could finish him off in a fraction of a second with a single finger; that being the case, why would Qin Yanyan ever bother arguing with such a low-level existence, just as a person would never bicker with an ant on the ground?
"Then please wait a moment, Mr. Qin. I will take you to my home right now!"
Seeing that Qin Yanyan was not angry, Chen Jiaxin directly took out her phone and made a call. Ten minutes later, the sound of helicopter blades echoed from outside, and a Boeing helicopter landed at the entrance of the teahouse. Qin Yanyan then followed Chen Jiaxin out of the restaurant and boarded the helicopter.
...
Nanshan Villa was located in the suburbs of Chuzhou, built against the foot of Nanshan.
Nanshan Villa could be considered the largest villa in all of Chuzhou, as the entire villa estate covered an area of more than 10,000 square meters, boasting a swimming pool, a golf course, a KTV, a ranch... Such a luxurious villa was one of a kind in Chuzhou. Naturally, anyone able to live in Nanshan Villa was extraordinary, because the owner of this villa was the retired veteran General Chen Yunhe.
Elder Chen was a founding father of the nation who had participated in the XX War in his youth, and now he was at the venerable age of ninety-seven.
Elder Chen had two sons: the eldest son, Chen Zhengxheng, was in politics and was already the commander of the Jiangbei Military Region; the second son, Chen Zhengbin, was in business and was already the chairman of Huaxia's largest Jinxiu Real Estate Company, as well as the richest man in Chuzhou.
As for Chen Jiaxin and Chen Yunfei, they were the grandson and granddaughter of Elder Chen, both born to the elder's second son, Chen Zhengbin.
Now, because his grandson Chen Yunfei had contracted a strange illness, Elder Chen naturally could not be in a good mood, and he was currently pacing back and forth anxiously in the courtyard.
Chen Yunfei was his biological grandson and also the future successor of the family; how could he not be anxious when such a strange illness struck? Yet even with his vast wealth and towering political influence, able to summon many renowned physicians, it was all to no avail.
"Could it be that Yunfei truly cannot escape this calamity?"
Elder Chen looked up at the sky, asking himself.
At that exact moment, however, the sound of a helicopter suddenly reached them, and shortly after, a white Boeing helicopter appeared in the sky. Elder Chen recognized it as his family's, knowing that his granddaughter Chen Jiaxin had returned.
After all, Chen Yunfei was Chen Jiaxin's own younger brother, and Chen Jiaxin was naturally more anxious than anyone else over Yunfei's illness. Basically every few days, Chen Jiaxin would bring famous doctors to examine her brother, only for each attempt to fail.
After the helicopter landed, Chen Jiaxin, Qin Yanyan, and Li Long all stepped out.
"Grandfather, I've brought a renowned doctor! He might be able to cure my brother's strange illness!"
Upon stepping off the aircraft, Chen Jiaxin ran directly to Elder Chen's side, pointing a finger at Qin Yanyan behind her.
"Jiaxin, stop always bringing some quack doctors over. The household is already in turmoil, you..."
Elder Chen's gaze shifted to examine Qin Yanyan, discovering him to be a young man in his early twenties. Just as he was about to scold his granddaughter, a sudden thought seemed to cross his mind, and his mouth snapped shut in alarm. He looked at Qin Yanyan once more.
Elder Chen was, after all, ninety-six years old and had participated in wars. Occupying a high position, his discernment was naturally beyond what ordinary people could compare to. He discovered that although Qin Yanyan was young, he possessed a powerful aura—an aura that was not the least bit inferior to his own, forged through a lifetime of military campaigns and countless battles.
Perhaps sensing that Elder Chen was sizing him up, Qin Yanyan's gaze also met Chen Ping's, and their eyes locked directly.
One must know that Elder Chen was a founding father of the nation who had once commanded armies of thousands and large-scale wars involving over a million men on the battlefield. He had experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and his gaze carried a formidable murderous intent. If an ordinary person collided with his gaze, they generally wouldn't last three seconds before lowering their head and looking away. Yet facing Elder Chen's powerful gaze, Qin Yanyan not only did not look away, but his gaze even showed signs of slightly outshining the old man's. At this moment, Qin Yanyan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a faint smile hanging on the corners of his mouth. He looked at Elder Chen with a half-smile, as if he, Qin Yanyan, were the veteran general, and Elder Chen merely a minor foot soldier under his command.
"Good, very good!"
Finally, ten seconds later, unable to endure the oppressive feeling of Qin Yanyan's gaze, Elder Chen averted his eyes and uttered the word "good" three times in succession. He turned his gaze to Chen Jiaxin standing to the side and asked, "Jiaxin, where did you invite this gentleman from? He's extraordinary, truly extraordinary!"
With that, Elder Chen was also inwardly shocked. As a veteran general, his gaze had actually not dared to meet that of a young man in his early twenties; this was the first time in all his years of living that he had ever encountered such a thing. The powerful aura emanating from the other party's eyes gave him a sense of oppression he had never witnessed in his entire life—it seemed as though the other person was an emperor of an era. Consequently, a deep curiosity arose in him regarding Qin Yanyan's identity.
"Grandfather, you also think he's amazing, right? It seems I didn't find the wrong person! His surname is Qin."
Hearing his words, Chen Jiaxin was overjoyed, becoming even more convinced that there was a high probability Qin Yanyan could cure her older brother.
