Chapter 806 - Gods Hands (1/2)

After Qin Haodong finished his briefing, he had just left Huang Xiaoxian when the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took a look at it and found that the call was from Xi Youmi.

The two of them had just parted a few hours ago, why did she call him so soon?

He pressed the answer button, and Xi Youmi’s voice was heard from the other side of the phone. “Haodong, quickly escape and don’t stay here. Return to Huaxia as soon as possible.”

Qin Haodong could tell that something had happened so he asked urgently, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Xi Youmi choked as she spoke, “Don’t ask anymore. Leave quickly. The sooner you leave, the better.”

Qin Haodong said, “How can I leave if you don’t tell me what happened?”

Xi Youmi said, “Jared and his bunch of people came. They have just found me…”

Qin Haodong frowned. This damn bearded man, there was just no end to this. Had he forgotten that he was the one who saved him on the plane?

He said, “Are they gone now?”

“They’ve already left…”

At this point, Xi Youmi seemed very upset and she couldn’t help but bawl. The environment seemed very chaotic, with lots of voices reprimanding her loudly.

Qin Haodong knew that it was impossible to resolve anything over the phone, so he said, “Tell me your address. I’ll go there now.”

Xi Youmi warned. “Don’t come, Jared and those people will still return…”

“Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Wait right there and I’ll be over in a jiffy.”

Qin Haodong hung up the phone directly and waved his hand to flag a taxi. He grabbed a stack of US bills and threw it over with a thud. “Send me to the site of Fashion Week within 10 minutes.”

This season’s Fashion Week was very well-known, so the taxi driver naturally knew where it was. He immediately put away the bills, stepped on the accelerator and sped off. 10 minutes later, they reached Lincoln Centre, the site where Fashion Week was held.

The Fashion Week would be officially launched tomorrow and today was meant to be a dress rehearsal. Designers like Xi Youmi who came to participate in this event, brought their own fashion models to the venue in the metropolis for the rehearsal.

When Qin Haodong entered the venue, he discovered that this place was a mess. Lincoln Centre was M Country’s symbolic building, so Jared’s group did not dare to touch it.

However, the equipment brought by these fashion designers was all smashed into pieces and various fashionable clothes were thrown all over the ground. Many of the models who participated in the rehearsal were badly battered.

Male models, in particular, had all ended up in a miserable state. One of the models’ legs was broken and he was howling in grief.

In the middle of the stage, a group of people surrounded Xi Youmi and kept on berating her.

“It’s all your fault. Of all people, why did you have to provoke people from the Jared family…”

“Now, our models have been implicated by you. How are they going to participate in Fashion Week tomorrow, after being beaten up into this state?”

“Let’s forget about this round, later those people will be back. You tell me, how are we going to rehearse like this?”

Upon hearing those berating voices, Xi Youmi only squatted on the ground pitifully as she hugged her head and sobbed.

“Stop crying and quickly get up.”

A strong big hand pulled Xi Youmi up.

She raised her head and saw Qin Haodong but she cried out hastily. “Why are you here? Leave quickly, those people will be back later.”

At this moment, a white lady with a curvy figure shouted. “He can’t leave. Those people from the Jared family are here for him and if this problem isn’t settled, how are we going to rehearse? How are we going to perform tomorrow?”

When the others found out that Qin Haodong was the person whom Jared was looking for, they also started shouting. “That’s right, he can’t leave. The problem isn’t settled, so who will take the responsibility for all these losses?”

“Alright, stop arguing. Since I’m already here, I won’t leave.”

Qin Haodong was rather fluent in English. His voice was not loud but it was imposing, and that made the people around him shut up in an instant.

He turned back and looked at Xi Youmi, only to find a big palm print on her left cheek. Her right cheek bone was also swollen; apparently, she had been slapped.

Although he rejected her, seeing her beaten up like this still made him furious. He was seething in anger. “Who slapped you? Tell me what exactly is going on?”

Xi Youmi replied, “We were in the middle of rehearsing when Jared brought along a big group of people. I don’t know how he managed to find his way here but he said that since he wasn’t able to get back the 30 million dollars that was stolen from him, then you must compensate him for his losses.”

“He asked me to tell him your address, but I didn’t do so, so he started smashing this place. He threatened that if I didn’t hand you over, I won’t be able to take part in this season’s Fashion Week.”

“That bastard, I should have let the robbers kill him back then.”

Qin Haodong patted her back and comforted her. “Don’t worry. You all should just continue to rehearse. I’ll solve this problem.”

Hearing their conversation, the tall woman next to them voiced out again. “How are you going to solve this? Leave the other stuff aside, our models are all injured, so how are they going to take part in the show tomorrow?”

Qin Haodong swept his glance around and asked when he saw that wailing model with a broken leg. “He has been injured for so long, why hasn’t anyone sent him to the hospital?”

Xi Youmi answered, “He’s my contracted model. Before Jared left, he threatened that if anyone dares to send him to the hospital, he will break that person’s leg. The ambulance hasn’t arrived until now so it’s definitely him who made a courtesy call to them.”

The tall woman said, “Since you have offended the Jared family, then you should just withdraw from this season’s Fashion Week. Otherwise, we will all suffer.”

Hearing this suggestion, the other fashion designers all echoed in agreement.
