Chapter 185 - A Business Transaction (2/2)

“Isn’t it risky for them to go out like this?” Qin Fen gently furrowed his dense eyebrows. “If someone makes a move outside….”

“Smart.” Lin Liqiang snapped his finger. “Therefore, there have been several people eliminated in this fashion in the past few days. The moment they stepped outside to eat, there is a great possibility of them encountering the hidden attacks from other people’s assistants. All of these candidates have their own assistants by them, for protection. They think of ways to secretly eliminate the others ahead of time, and they casually choose who they feel to be the most threatening.”

Qin Fen smiled as he turned his head to look at the red brick building behind him. The person who designed this test was truly quite smart. The designer actually tested everyone during meal times as well.

An hour’s worth the time quickly past, and all the young people, who were gone for food, came back one after another. Signs of bullet marks could be seen on some of these people’s cars.

These young people, who had just eaten food, leaped off their cars. They looked at how leisurely and carefree Qin Fen was, eating his roasted lamb leg and drinking his fruit juice. This was the first time thoughts of envy were engendered in them.

There were many innate advantages of being a child of a rich and powerful family. However, they also lost some of the advantages because of their backgrounds. For instance, eating meals this time. This destitute kid could swagger around in this courtyard and eat without a care in the world.

After mealtime ended, Qin Fen returned to the corner where he last sat and meditated. He discovered that there was one less person in the room now. It looked like this person had been eliminated during mealtime, and had left.

In a span of two days back to back, Qin Fen spent each day repeating the same actions.

Eat and meditate.

And within the room, the number of people participating in the test grew smaller and smaller.

There were some people who passed the test and left happily, waiting for notification of the next test’s starting time.

There are some people who were eliminated from the test, with fate having them leave.

There are people more tragic. There were people who were eliminated by others during meal times.

“Ge Bing….”

At the front of the door to the inner hall, Cheng Wuxian was expressionless as he announced this name. He then turned around and returned to the inner hall. In this instance, a gaze of bitter resentment was thrown upon Qin Fen’s body.

This wasn’t the first time that Cheng Wuxian looked at him like this. Qin Fen was already completely used to it. If Cheng Wuxian hadn’t looked at him with those malicious eyes, Qin Fen would feel uncomfortable.

A short single minute passed, and Ge Bing walked out of the inner hall, carrying a smile of delight on his face.

He was the fastest one to pass! Qin Fen was shocked as well as he saw just how quickly Ge Bing had passed the test. Ge Bing was the quickest person to pass the test in the past few days, using approximately seventy-six seconds.

“Qin Fen.”

Cheng Wuxian’s eyes burned with flame as he stared at Qin Fen. He absolutely wouldn’t have humiliated himself in front of the young lady if it weren’t for this kid.

Qin Fen had long since stood up upon hearing Cheng Wuxian shout his name. He was the last person in this large lounge, and so, his name was the only name that Cheng Wuxian could yell.

The inner hall was clearly much smaller in area than the receiving room outside.

There was a rattan chair, a simple wooden desk, two teacups, and a Yixing clay teapot. There was a large word on the wall, “Martial”, and it caused one to feel a sense of attraction when looking at it.

Qin Fen stared at this word for two seconds in a daze. Countless information came pouring into his mind from the word in an instant. It was at this moment that he seemed to lose his entire self into the world of the martial dao.

Two seconds later, Qin Fen shook his head hard. He pulled his gaze away from the word, and he turned to look at the middle-aged man on the rattan chair. This man was holding a kifu book.

“Huh?”

The middle-aged man was a bit shocked. He put down the kifu book from his hand and raised his head.

Qin Fen also took the opportunity to study this man, as the man studied him. There was a golden pair of eyeglasses on the high-bridge nose. This made him give off an extra refined and scholarly sensation. In certain places, some of his facial features were faint with similarities to Song Jia.

Was this Song Jia’s father? Qin Fen speculated to himself, wondering the identity of this middle-aged man.

“I am Jiajia’s father..” Song Zhengting slowly took out a small book and pen from within his clothing. I’ve more or less heard about your business. You need money, don’t you?”

“I need it a lot.”

Qin Fen didn’t deny it. The power of the Song Family was considerable, and it was easy for them to investigate Qin Fen’s background. Denying the fact that he needed money would show that he was stupid.

The fountain pen in Song Zhenting’s hands quickly scrawled on the small book. Then he confidently tore off a page from the small book and casually tossed it toward Qin Fen.

This page was completely unfolded. It shouldn’t be possible for someone to toss this piece of paper a great distance. However, if flew just like the metal disc when thrown from Song Zhenting’s hands. They completely ignored the resistance of the air.

Qin Fen’s thumb and index finger clasped together, steadily pressing the flying piece of paper into his hand.

Qin Fen gave the piece of paper a glance. This piece of paper was a check, and this check was for a cash value of seven nines.

“Let us make a business transaction.” Song Zhenting spread his hands open. “Break up with Jiajia, and all of this will be yours.”
