Qi Dengxian’s intrusion caused the faces of everyone present to darken.

Zhang Shaojie and Kang Xuequan were especially displeased.

“Kid, what kind of thing are you? Do you know who organized this dinner? You actually dare to kick the door?” A wealthy scion stood up, questioning him with a vicious voice.

Qi Dengxian walked directly into the private room. He sized up the area with a fake smile then said, “Zhang Shaojie, you’re quite capable. On one hand, you’re blinding Qiumeng. On the other, you’re preparing to sell her for a good price to make it easier for your Zhang Group to flee?”

A flash of panic appeared in Zhang Shaojie’s eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense. Our Zhang Group is perfectly fine. Why would we flee?”

Kang Xuequan had a specially supplied cigarette in his mouth. He lit it, took a slow drag, and asked, “Young Master Zhang knows this person?”

“The matrilocal son-in-law the Qiao family recruited. On paper, he is Qiao Qiumeng’s husband. In reality, he is just a good-for-nothing with nothing to his name. He hasn’t even held Qiao Qiumeng’s hand…”

“Young Master Kang, rest assured. I guarantee Qiao Qiumeng is absolutely clean. Even I haven’t touched her!”

Zhang Shaojie turned his head, speaking to Kang Xuequan with a face full of flattery.

Zhang Shaojie cleared his throat then spoke to Qi Dengxian. “Qi, this is Young Master Kang Xuequan, who comes from the capital!”

“You should have heard of a family as massive as the Kang family. Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Kang. Perhaps if he says a few words for you, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to grant you, a little prison guard, the position of warden.”

“The Kang family is one of the top ten families in Huaguo. For a waste like you to see Young Master Kang’s face is the blessing of three lifetimes!”

Kang Xuequan let out a surprised sound then laughed loudly. “I remember now! You are Qi Dengxian. The Qi Dengxian who had an engagement with Yu Xiaolong!”

As soon as Kang Xuequan said this, the surrounding people were stunned.

The wealthy scion who had been acting viciously turned pale with fright!

Everyone knew who Yu Xiaolong was. This Qi Dengxian actually had a relationship with her?

“You don’t need to be so startled. This guy and his father were kicked out of the Qi family. Now he’s reduced to being a prison guard in a broken prison. He is nothing.”

“He’s married to Qiao Qiumeng now. Most likely, Yu Xiaolong dumped this loser long ago!”

“Without the Qi family’s support and with Yu Xiaolong dumping him, what are you afraid of?”

Kang Xuequan took the cigarette out of his mouth after seeing everyone’s expressions and spoke with disdain.

The group let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. So Qi Dengxian had already been dumped by Yu Xiaolong!

“Hahaha! I was going to say, how could a loser like this be connected to General Yu? So he was dumped long ago!”

“It makes sense. This kind of trash isn’t worthy of General Yu. He isn’t even worthy of Qiao Qiumeng.”

“Only someone like our Young Master Kang is worthy of General Yu!”

Qi Dengxian said flatly, “I truly don’t know what is worth worshipping about a woman as full of herself as Yu Xiaolong. She actually has a group of lickspittles like you!”

“Keep your motherfucking mouth clean! Is General Yu’s name something you can call directly? Is her reputation something you can defile?” The wealthy scion stepped forward, his face full of fury.

“Kneel immediately. Repent on your own and apologize to General Yu! Otherwise, I’ll send you to the ICU today!”

Qi Dengxian remained unmoved. He looked at Kang Xuequan and said flatly, “As a master, you don’t even know how to discipline your dog properly? Kang Xuequan, is it? I’ll give you a warning: don’t have any thoughts about Qiumeng. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to the capital.”

“Hahaha! What the fuck are you? You actually dare to speak to Young Master Kang like that, saying he won’t return to the capital?”

“Just a broken prison guard daring to bark wildly in front of Young Master Kang? You’re just an outcast, a piece of trash dumped by General Yu. Do you even have the qualifications to speak like this?”

Kang Xuequan’s people all jumped up, pointing at Qi Dengxian’s nose and cursing.

The wealthy scion couldn’t hold back. He aimed a slap at Qi Dengxian while cursing, “What the fuck are you, acting tough here?!”

Just as his palm was raised, his head was pinned down by Qi Dengxian’s large hand. With a bang, it slammed into the tabletop, leaving him bloodied.

“Qi Dengxian, is your brain diseased? You actually dare to hit someone in front of Young Master Kang?” Zhang Shaojie screamed.

Kang Xuequan’s face darkened slightly then he smiled. “You have two choices now.”

Qi Dengxian kicked away the unconscious scion with an indifferent expression. “Oh?”

Kang Xuequan said coldly, “First, kneel down and lick my shoes. Repent for your words and actions just now. Then, personally put this packet of medicine into your wife’s drink. Then this matter will be settled.”

After saying this, Kang Xuequan threw out a small packet. It was clearly some kind of drug.

“Young Master Kang is truly too magnanimous and merciful! To be so generous and willing to let him off.”

“That’s right, Qi. Young Master Kang gave you such favorable terms. Why aren’t you kneeling down to show your gratitude with tears?”

“I think Young Master Kang is only being so kind because Qi used to be from the capital. That’s why the conditions are so simple.”

Everyone praised Kang Xuequan’s magnanimity after hearing the first choice, acting as if he was being too kind to trash like Qi Dengxian.

“Second, I’ll have someone break your legs. Then I’ll say a few words to make sure you and your father, these two stray dogs, can’t even be prison guards anymore! Furthermore, after I’m done with Qiao Qiumeng, I’ll bankrupt the Qiao Corporation and sell both of you to the South Seas as slaves.” Kang Xuequan said.

Zhang Shaojie smiled and said, “Is there even a need to consider? Qi Dengxian, just kneel and lick the shoes. While you’re at it, lick mine clean as well.”

The surrounding people also stretched out their feet at this time, saying with disdain, “Give us a chance to have ours licked as well.”

Kang Xuequan smiled slightly, put the cigarette back in his mouth, and took a deep drag. His face was full of contempt and mockery.

“The eldest young master of the Qi family is now as humble as an ant, able to be trampled upon by anyone. Fate truly plays tricks on people!” Kang Xuequan sighed.

Qi Dengxian walked to the table and picked up the packet of medicine.

“I knew he would choose that. Young Master Kang is still too magnanimous and nostalgic. He’s willing to let him off so easily!”

“Yes, those who usually offend Young Master Kang don’t even know how miserable their deaths are. This Qi Dengxian’s luck is too good!”

“Haha, fine! Let’s wait for the former eldest young master of the Qi family and General Yu’s ex-fiancé to kneel down and lick our shoes!”

The group laughed, not taking Qi Dengxian seriously at all.

“Lick Young Master Kang’s first! Hurry up! Your wife will be here soon. It wouldn’t look good if she saw you kneeling and licking shoes, would it?” someone laughed.

Zhang Shaojie was full of triumph. He hadn’t expected Qi Dengxian to once have such a large background, but so what? That was all in the past!

This guy was seeking death by barging into this dinner and offending a giant like Kang Xuequan. To not be killed was already considered good luck.
