The Supreme Young Master

Chapter 22:

“Is your name written on this seat?” Qin Fei glanced at the plump woman, wiped his hands with a tissue, and asked casually.

The plump woman, seeing that Qin Fei dared to challenge her, became even angrier and said, “I was invited by Master Wang himself. Do you think I should sit here or not?”

“Oh? I was also invited by Master Wang. That means I shouldn’t leave either!” Qin Fei shrugged and ignored the plump woman, shifting his gaze to the scenery around him.

“He’s really shameless, coming here just to eat and drink for free. This is quite something.”

“Yeah, maybe he’s never attended such a high-end banquet in his life. He’ll probably post about it on social media and show off for half a year.”

“But Li Meimei isn’t someone to mess with. Her brother is the secretary of the municipal committee. This idiot is in trouble.”

The surrounding people looked at Qin Fei with mockery and disdain, some even gloating, eager to see how Li Meimei would put him in his place.

Yang Ruoxi also noticed the scene and felt a little uncomfortable. She didn’t expect Qin Fei to be the same as always—no matter where he went, he was always ridiculed. It was truly embarrassing. Even if he wanted to freeload, he should at least know where he was.

Everyone here was a prominent figure in Jiangcheng. Yet, Qin Fei was occupying someone else’s seat and refusing to leave. Wasn’t he just asking for trouble?

Li Meimei, seeing everyone siding with her, became even more arrogant. She walked up to Qin Fei and slapped at him, shouting, “Get lost!”

Qin Fei tilted his head slightly and easily dodged her slap. Seeing the mocking faces around him, he decided it wasn’t worth staying at such a gathering. Without saying much, he stood up and walked towards the exit.

Seeing Qin Fei leave the seat, Li Meimei was smug like a little hen, snorting, “Hmph, what a joke! A broke loser like him dares to act up in a place like this.”

However, Qin Fei hadn’t gone far when a young man in black quickly ran over, whispered a few words in his ear, and led him back inside.

Li Meimei, busy showing off to her friends about how much her Chanel dress cost, didn’t notice where Qin Fei had gone after leaving.

Only Yang Ruoxi had been paying attention to Qin Fei’s every move. When she saw him being led into the banquet hall by that young man, her heart couldn’t help but feel a bit shaken.

Could it be… Qin Fei was the seventh guest at Master Wang’s table?

But the previous six guests were all either wealthy tycoons or high-ranking officials. How did Qin Fei qualify to sit among them?

Maybe Master Wang found out Qin Fei was freeloading and called him in to teach him a lesson? That possibility seemed quite likely.

Yang Ruoxi’s thoughts were complicated. She didn’t want to believe that Qin Fei was one of Master Wang’s honored guests.

As Qin Fei entered, Zhao Zhongyi greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Qin, you’re here!”

“Hello, Mr. Zhao.” Qin Fei responded with a slight smile and, under the young man’s guidance, took a seat next to Master Wang.

At that moment, not only Yang Ruoxi but even the remaining five guests were puzzled. How could an ordinary-looking young man sit beside Master Wang?

However, they were far more composed than the people outside. Though they had doubts in their hearts, they maintained polite smiles on their faces.

Master Wang grabbed Qin Fei’s hand and laughed heartily, “Let me introduce him—this is Qin Fei. Qin, as in Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and Fei, as in soaring to great heights!”

“Hehe, nice to meet everyone.” Qin Fei greeted them politely.

Out of courtesy, the guests also exchanged greetings with Qin Fei. After all, since Master Wang personally introduced him, he must have some background.

Soon, the banquet began. Under Master Wang’s lead, the atmosphere became more familiar and relaxed.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Sun Chuanxiong, the municipal party secretary wearing glasses, glanced at Wang Houde and said, “Master Wang, regarding the matter I mentioned last time, I wonder when you’ll have some time?”

Besides being the municipal party secretary, Sun Chuanxiong’s father-in-law was a high-ranking military official. However, his health was deteriorating, and he was nearing retirement. Sun Chuanxiong had come not only to celebrate Master Wang’s birthday but also to seek his help in treating his father-in-law. If his father-in-law could hold on for a few more years, his chances of advancing to the provincial committee next year would increase significantly.

Master Wang simply smiled and waved his hand, “Sorry, Secretary Sun, but I have ‘sealed my needles’ for nearly ten years. You should find someone else.”

“Ah… I see.” Sun Chuanxiong sighed, not daring to press further. Though Master Wang was merely a famous doctor, it was rumored that he had treated top-level officials in the central government, so showing any dissatisfaction was out of the question.

At this moment, Zhao Zhongyi’s eyes flickered. Pretending to check his phone, he quickly sent a message to Zhao Muxin: “Talk to Qin Fei and ask him to persuade Master Wang to make an exception for Secretary Sun. After all, my father’s business has always been supported by Secretary Sun, and we owe him a favor.”

Soon, Qin Fei received Zhao Muxin’s message: “Liar! Do me a favor and ask Master Wang to treat Secretary Sun. My dad’s business has been relying on him, and we owe him this.”

After reading the message, Qin Fei pondered. If he wanted to establish himself in Jiangcheng, he needed connections. Otherwise, anyone could trample on him. This might be a great opportunity—after all, Sun Chuanxiong was a powerful figure in Jiangcheng.

With that in mind, Qin Fei smiled slightly and turned to Master Wang, “Sir, may I have a word with you?”

“Of course, no problem,” Master Wang replied with a hearty laugh and walked with Qin Fei behind a screen.

Once inside, Master Wang smiled and asked, “Brother Qin, what advice do you have for me?”

“I’m just curious about why you decided to stop practicing your needle technique. Your medical skills are extraordinary; it would be a shame to stop,” Qin Fei said with a smile.

“Sigh… I had no choice. My ‘Heaven’s Fate Needle Technique’ requires internal energy, but my meridians have been damaged, so I can no longer perform it,” Master Wang sighed.

“What if your meridians could be restored?” Qin Fei asked with a smile.

“If my meridians recover, I can definitely perform acupuncture again. Saving lives and healing the wounded is the duty of those in the medical field,” Wang Houde said.

“How about this? I’ll help you recover your meridians as soon as possible, and in return, you help Secretary Sun this once. What do you think?” Qin Fei asked.

“Of course, no problem. As long as I have your furnace, I can refine the ‘Qi Gathering Pill,’ which should be enough to restore my meridians,” Wang Houde replied.

“I’ll bring the furnace tomorrow, and you can use it first,” Qin Fei said.

“Thank you so much.” Wang Houde grasped Qin Fei’s hand with gratitude.

Soon after, the two walked out from behind the screen. Wang Houde coughed lightly and looked at Sun Chuanxiong, saying, “Secretary Sun, I will go with you in three days to examine your father-in-law. But remember, this is all thanks to Brother Qin.”

“Ah, that’s great! Thank you, Master Wang, and thank you, Brother Qin.” Sun Chuanxiong didn’t quite understand how Qin Fei managed to persuade Wang Houde, but as a municipal secretary, he was sharp enough to seize the opportunity. He immediately picked up his glass and downed it in one go to show his respect.

Zhao Zhongyi nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Qin Fei was indeed extraordinary—not only skilled in martial arts but also having a close relationship with Master Wang. Initially, he had only tried his luck, but he didn’t expect things to work out so smoothly.

It appeared that this young man listened to his daughter quite well. If he divorced Yang Ruoxi, it might not be a bad idea for his daughter to marry him.

Seeing Master Wang break his long-standing rule for Qin Fei, everyone present began speculating about his background. Naturally, they all raised their glasses to toast Qin Fei, hoping to build a connection.

The banquet was filled with laughter and joy. Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Meimei, having eaten and drunk to her fill, swayed her bear-like body and approached Yang Ruoxi with two bodyguards in tow. “B*tch, do you know who I am?”

Yang Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a frown. “I don’t know you.”

“Hmph, well, today, you’ll know me very well. Grab her! I’m going to tear off her clothes!” At Li Meimei’s command, the two bodyguards moved toward Yang Ruoxi.

Although Yang Ruoxi had decent combat skills, the two bodyguards were strong and burly. They pinned her shoulders from both sides, rendering her unable to move.

Yang Ruoxi was both angry and anxious. If only Zhou Kai hadn’t gone to the restroom, she wouldn’t have been bullied like this. Glaring at them in frustration, she said angrily, “What are you doing? I’m a police officer!”

“A police officer? Of course, I know you’re a cop. You’re Yang Ruoxi, right? I’ve been looking for you!” Li Meimei grabbed Yang Ruoxi’s hair with jealousy in her voice. “You’re pretty, huh? That makes it okay for you to seduce someone else’s husband? Listen up, Zhang Hua is mine. If you dare flirt with him, I’ll teach you a lesson today!”

Many people present knew Li Meimei and were aware that her brother was the municipal secretary. Upon hearing that Yang Ruoxi had allegedly seduced someone’s husband, they started whispering among themselves.

“I didn’t expect this. She looks so pretty, but she’s a homewrecker.”

“Yeah, these days, people will do anything for money and power.”

“I heard they’re going to strip her. That’s exciting! I should record this and watch it later.”

Hearing these words, Yang Ruoxi’s eyes welled up with tears of humiliation. But with the two burly bodyguards restraining her, she couldn’t move at all. She could only try to explain, “You misunderstood. There’s nothing between me and Zhang Hua!”

“Misunderstanding? Do you take me for a fool? I have eyes and ears in the hospital. Damn, with a figure like yours, you must have been with many men, right?” Li Meimei sneered, eyeing Yang Ruoxi’s ample curves before grabbing the hem of her T-shirt. “Today, let’s all see what kind of vixen you are!”

“Rip it! Rip it off!”

“Make sure she’s completely stripped!”

The crowd watching was getting increasingly excited, forming a circle around them with their phones ready to capture the moment.

Tears streamed down Yang Ruoxi’s face. She felt utterly hopeless. If she had a strong and loving husband, she wouldn’t have to endure such humiliation.

Li Meimei, seeing the growing crowd, was so pleased that her fat face trembled with excitement. She exerted force, intending to rip off Yang Ruoxi’s clothes.

“Stop!”

Just as Li Meimei was about to tear off the T-shirt, an angry voice echoed from the crowd.

Despite the interruption, Yang Ruoxi’s T-shirt was already pulled down slightly, revealing her delicate collarbones. The men in the crowd swallowed hard, some even feeling envious of Li Meimei’s husband, who had such a beauty at home.

However, Li Meimei snorted and continued pulling. With a loud “rip,” Yang Ruoxi’s T-shirt tore down the middle, exposing her black undergarment.

At that moment, Yang Ruoxi felt as if her world had collapsed. She had always carried herself with pride and self-respect. But now, not only was she wrongly accused of being a mistress, but her clothes were torn apart in public. Though she wasn’t entirely exposed, in her mind, she felt completely humiliated.

She bit her lip tightly, tears falling uncontrollably. She had already made up her mind—once this was over, she would resign and leave Jiangcheng. She couldn’t stay here anymore.

Zhou Kai finally pushed his way through the crowd after shouting to stop them. Seeing Yang Ruoxi being humiliated like this, the veins on his neck bulged with anger. “What are you doing? Do you have any respect for the law? How dare you bully the captain of the criminal police unit?”

Zhou Kai thought his words would intimidate the crowd, but Li Meimei simply sneered and glared at him. “Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my business?”

“Uh… Miss Li?” Zhou Kai recognized her and knew she wasn’t easy to deal with. He forced a smile and said, “Miss Li, there must be some misunderstanding. Why don’t we sit down and talk?”

“Misunderstanding? Your face is nothing to me! Get lost, or I’ll have you fired tomorrow!” Li Meimei’s threatening glare made Zhou Kai instinctively shrink back.

Zhou Kai was inwardly distressed. Why did Yang Ruoxi have to provoke such a troublemaker? Helpless, he stepped aside and discreetly took out his phone to call the police chief.

He couldn’t afford to offend Li Meimei. With her brother’s influence in the municipal committee, he could be kicked out of the police force in no time.

Yang Ruoxi had initially hoped Zhou Kai’s arrival would save her, but seeing how intimidated he was, she felt even more hopeless and resentful—especially toward Qin Fei. Her useless husband was also here at the villa, but what was the point? She was being humiliated, yet he was nowhere to be seen.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Tears kept rolling down, dripping onto the floor from her pale cheeks.

“You slut, now you’re crying? Where was all that seduction when you were after my husband?” Li Meimei’s eyes scanned Yang Ruoxi’s tear-streaked face, then landed on her undergarment. With a smirk, she reached out to tear it off.

“Please, don’t! I’m begging you, please don’t!” Yang Ruoxi sobbed helplessly, feeling completely humiliated and wishing she could disappear.

The crowd, however, cheered even louder. “Do it already! We can’t wait any longer!”
