▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Ruan could tell that Jiang Liu didn't believe her.
She pointed at Qiao Xi, who was still squatting beside her. "He is the grandson of old master Hou."
Jiang Liu's gaze lowered slightly as he stared at Qiao Xi, his facial muscles trembling.
The Doyle family, he had just heard about this family, but he didn't associate it with any particular power.
During master Hou's tenure, the most famous figure wasn't his two sons, but rather the one and only precious gem of the family, the Hou Family's Little Princess.
As the daughter of the Hou family, the Hou Family's Little Princess was notorious for her domineering and fiery temperament.
Jiang Liu had relied on his attachment to the Hou family for survival, and he had a deeper understanding of the Hou family than ordinary people.
He knew that the former Hou Family Little Princess had married into Italy. Her husband came from an ancient Italian family that controlled the dark underworld, the Doyle Family.
Looking at Qin Ruan's calm expression and Qiao Xi, who was squatting beside her with an arrogant attitude as if nothing could surpass him, Jiang Liu felt a headache coming on.
He pressed his temples with a stern face, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Are you really not joking?"
This joke was a bit too much.
He found it difficult to accept it both mentally and emotionally.
The Hou family was not an ordinary family. He had never seen the master of the Hou family. Every time there was an issue, it was the Hou family's representatives who dealt with it.
But now, the little girl who used to rely on his protection in the Western City had transformed into a member of the Hou family.
She had even become his master. How could Jiang Liu accept that?
Lin Hao interjected, "Otherwise, Liu Ye, how do you think I managed to escape from certain death? After the Su family gave up on me, death was waiting for me. If it weren't for Qin Ruan's appearance, I would probably be dead by now."
Jiang Liu opened his wise eyes, and a heavy pressure emanated from him as he pressed down on Lin Hao.
"Have you really completely severed ties with the Su family?"
To leave the Su family, even if it meant shedding one's skin, it was worth it.
Looking at Lin Hao, who didn't seem like someone who had experienced hardship, Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow. "If that's the case, how come I see you standing in front of me in one piece? If the Su family didn't spare you, would you dare to come find me?"
Jiang Liu looked coldly at him and sneered, "I still don't know you well. You say one thing to people's faces and another behind their backs. You've managed to survive in the Su family for the past three years, relying on your silver tongue."
His words were quite suggestive.
Recalling the experiences he had with Su Jingshu, Lin Hao's face turned awkward.
From Jiang Liu's words, he could tell that the other party had never believed him.
Jiang Liu had been in the jianghu for many years; how could he simply trust Lin Hao based on a few words from him?
Whether Lin Hao was truly free, whether he could openly survive in the Su family, or even under the eyes of the Hou family, none of it mattered to Jiang Liu.
To this day, Jiang Liu still doubted whether Lin Hao had carved out a path for himself or succumbed to the pressure and joined the
Su family.
Trust was not something that could be gained simply by speaking.
Privately, Jiang Liu felt that the chances of Lin Hao siding with the Su family were high.
Qin Ruan sat calmly beside them, lightly tapping her fingers on the table, creating a rhythmic sensation, catching the attention of Jiang Liu and Lin Hao.
Qin Ruan raised her gaze and gave the two of them a faint smile.
Her lips pressed together lightly, and the corners of her mouth curved up to a perfect arc. " Liu Ye, I didn't come here today to exert dominance. My main purpose is to seek a clear path for a junior who has come to find you."
Suddenly, Jiang Liu's phone, which was placed on the table, vibrated.
He picked up the phone and slid his finger on the screen.
Suddenly, his face slightly changed, and his pupils contracted.
Jiang Liu's meaningful gaze swept over Qin Ruan and Lin Hao.
Finally, his gaze fell on Qiao Xi.
He stared at the boy for a few moments, his eyes revealing a hint of complexity.
Upon closer observation, his hesitation was clearly visible in his eyes.
Qiao Xi met Jiang Liu's probing gaze and frowned, saying, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen such a handsome guy like me before?"
Young people are full of pride and hot-bloodedness.
Suddenly, Jiang Liu chuckled mysteriously.
He assumed a stern posture and spoke coldly to Qin Ruan, "The problem now is not here. Now that you all know my identity, do you think you can walk out of the West City today?"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands together, making a slapping sound.
Suddenly, more than ten bodyguards emerged from the tightly closed side room behind him.
These people were Jiang Liu's trusted aides, and they surrounded Qin Ruan, Lin Hao, and Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi couldn't tolerate this.
He abruptly stood up and pointed at Jiang Liu, shouting, "Old man, what do you think you're doing?!"
Jiang Liu's sharp gaze remained fixed on him, his brows and eyes filled with disdain.
"Kid, you better understand whose territory you're stepping on. If you keep shouting like this, I'll make sure you never speak again!"
"You're asking for trouble, old man!"
Qiao Xi, being young and fearless, approached Jiang Liu as if he was about to fight him.
Qin Ruan and Lin Hao coldly observed the scene without intervening.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a sense of amusement.
Qiao Xi rushed in front of Jiang Liu and was about to make a move when someone grabbed his hand.
The person twisted Qiao Xi's arm behind his back.
One of Jiang Liu men held onto Qiao Xi and kicked him in the leg.
"Bang!"
Qiao Xi's body leaned forward, kneeling in front of Jiang Liu.
The series of events happened so quickly that Qiao Xi had no chance to resist.
He struggled to get up and said, "Let go of me! Don't resort to cheap shots. If you're brave enough, let's fight one-on-one!"
The man restraining Qiao Xi ignored his pleas, raising his head to seek permission from Jiang Liu, who was sitting at the head.
Jiang Liu let out a soft laugh, stood up, and slowly walked toward Josh.
He bent down slightly, staring at the stubbornness in Qiao Xi's childish eyes.
He had seen this kind of gaze many times, and countless young people in the West City had met their demise because of it.
They were just as impulsive and headstrong as Qiao Xi.
Jiang Liu appreciated Qiao Xi's unwillingness and helplessness. His expression softened, yet carried an air of dominance. He said, "There are no rules here. Now, I hold the power of life and death. Your fate is completely in my hands."
Qiao Xi felt the overwhelming murderous intent emanating from Jiang Liu.
The other party really wants to kill him!
Qiao Xi initial indignation gradually changed, and a hint of fear engulfed his mind.
This was not what he had anticipated.
How could this person, who didn't know his identity, dare to treat him this way?
Qiao Xi turned his head to look at Qin Ruan, who sat calmly in the seat of honor, his eyes pleading for help.
Qin Ruan pursed her red lips and gently said to Lord Liu, ''Lord Liu, he is still a willful child. As an adult, please don't frighten him.''
"Frighten him?" Lord Liu chuckled. "This is not mere intimidation."
He raised his hand to the subordinate standing behind Qin Ruan, and the latter immediately stepped forward, intending to make a move against her.
"Don't touch my sister-in-law!" Qiao Xi became furious at the sight of this.
His underlying fear dissipated, and when he saw these people about to harm Qin Ruan, an unknown surge of strength erupted within him. He broke free from Jiang Liu's grip and stood up, rushing towards Qin Ruan.
Qiao Xi positioned himself in front of Qin Ruan, confronting the burly man who clearly had a significant height advantage over him.
"You are not allowed to touch my sister-in-law!"
The instinct to protect their own women was engraved in the blood and bones of the men from the Hou family.
To bully a woman from their family in their presence was an insult to them.
Qiao Xi stubbornly stared at the burly man before him, demonstrating that he was ready to fight back if the man made any move against Qin Ruan.
Jiang Liu coldly observed Qiao Xi's behavior, finding it somewhat amusing, like a little leopard's.
Qin Ruan didn't expect Josh to come forward at this moment.
