Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 522 - 521: The Mischievous Ghost is Hard to Deal With (Third Update)

Guo Ying's status! He could almost be considered one of the most prestigious guests here to celebrate the birthday! This kid actually left him severely injured! That was tantamount to offending the Guo family, and offending the Liu family as well! It might even piss off the truly high and mighty Huo family! Bold as brass! Truly bold as brass!

"What's going on? Why all the noise?"

Just then, a stern shout came. As everyone turned their heads, they saw a security guard approaching. He was a gatekeeper for the Lius, in his twenties, average-looking, just over 1.6 meters tall, and appeared to be an utterly ordinary young man with no outstanding features. However, his demeanor was incredibly arrogant, even more so than Guo Ying had been, with his nose seemingly pointing sky-high.

Upon seeing the security guard, everyone immediately fell silent, completely clamming up.

Rumor had it that this guard of the Lius had once saved the life of Liu Tong, the family's eldest son, and was thus highly valued; his status within the Liu family was also very special. Most of the people here to pay their respects were in need of favors from the Lius and naturally didn't dare to offend this security guard.

As the guard walked over and looked around, his gaze finally settled on Qin Heng. "You must be Qin Heng, right?" he said. "I heard from the Eldest Young Master earlier that your parents aren't in Beijing, so you've come in their place to wish the Old Master a happy birthday. Come with me."

The surrounding crowd was instantly stunned by these words, looking at Qin Heng with utter amazement, shocked to the core.

"Qin Heng! Holy shit! So this kid is Qin Heng, the son of the founders of the Daqin Group. No wonder he's so formidable!"

"The young master of the Daqin Group! And also the maternal grandson of the Liu family's Old Master. No wonder he dared to disrespect the Guos. However, I've heard that he seems to be out of favor with the Lius."

"Heh, it's not just Qin Heng who's out of favor; his whole family is in an awkward position with the Lius. Now that Qin Fa and Liu Shuyu are abroad, only this greenhorn is left. Tsk tsk, there's going to be a good show tonight."

Quite a few had guessed what the Lius intended to do, looking at Qin Heng with pity. In their eyes, the Daqin Group, which had been in the limelight for some time, might just see a change of fortune tonight! Of course, afterward, they would have to be even more respectful to the Lius.

The security guard walked ahead, not even deigning to give Qin Heng a proper glance, just going on his way. When he reached the front gate of the Liu family's mansion, he stopped.

"Qin Heng, I heard you drove here in a BMW worth three million?" The guard turned his head, looking at Qin Heng with scrutiny. "Were you also involved in a conflict at the entrance?" he asked.

"That's right. It's just a car for getting around," Qin Heng replied casually, not particularly bothered by a mere security guard. "As for those people, they were the ones who provoked..."

"Shut up! You're still making excuses! Don't you realize yet where you went wrong?!" The guard suddenly spun around, raising his hand to point at Qin Heng's nose, his voice fierce as he spoke, "In Beijing, the price of a car represents one's social status. You, arriving in a trashy wreck worth a mere three million, what does that signify? You're our Old Master's maternal grandson!

"With such a shabby car, how embarrassing! Are you here to beg or to ask for food, huh? You're practically shaming the Liu family! And you still have the audacity to blame others for provoking you! You really need to reflect on yourself!"

His tone wasn't that of a security guard at all; it was more like he was one of Qin Heng's elders!

Qin Heng slightly turned aside, evading the guard's pointing finger, and said indifferently, "Did Liu Tong or Liu Zhengfeng teach you to say that?"

The security guard was stunned, looking at Qin Heng incredulously. His expression was one of utter shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"What—what did you just say?!" The security guard locked eyes with Qin Heng, then roared, "Qin Heng! You've got some nerve! How dare you address the Eldest Young Master and the Old Master by their names directly! Have you no sense of how a junior should behave?!"

At this moment, the other guests arriving to pay their respects also came over. Having heard the conversation between Qin Heng and the security guard, they immediately started laughing.

"They say the Qin family's eldest young master is just a good-for-nothing playboy who only knows how to enjoy himself. It seems to be true; he lacks even the most basic manners."

"Calling elders by their names directly, and he also seems prone to violence, severely injuring people over minor disagreements. This person is actually the young master of the Daqin Group. Tsk tsk, it seems the Daqin Group is in for a dangerous future!"

"This Qin Heng is truly hopeless. He doesn't even understand what the price of a car signifies. Arriving in such a wreck is simply an insult to the Liu family, and to himself! What a loser!"

"We needn't worry about the Daqin Group. As long as Qin Fa and Liu Shuyu aren't fools, they certainly won't let such a loser inherit it. The Liu family has no shortage of talent, hahaha!"

In the crowd, many were belittling and mocking Qin Heng, implying that if he were to inherit the Daqin Group, he would surely lead it to ruin, and only the Lius could steer the Daqin Group towards continued prosperity. Clearly, these people had been planted by the Lius.

However, now that the topic had been broached, the crowd immediately buzzed with discussion, their disdain for Qin Heng growing.

Hearing the crowd's comments, the security guard nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Qin Heng and said, "Qin Heng, do you hear that? Do you hear what people are saying about you?

"To be honest, the Old Master didn't even want you to come, because you really are just too worthless! The Old Master gets angry just seeing you!"

"You watchdog, you'd better step aside." Qin Heng couldn't be bothered with the security guard. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "I can't be bothered to kill you. I've come to talk to Liu Zhengfeng about some matters."

"Who the hell did you call a watchdog?!" The security guard was instantly enraged and subconsciously raised his hand, about to strike Qin Heng. This security guard had always been extremely proud. Although he was just a guard, he believed that as a guard for the Lius, he was inherently superior, meant to stand high and mighty. Now, Qin Heng calling him a mere watchdog had struck his rawest nerve, the very truth he didn't want exposed!

The guard wished he could slap Qin Heng's face right then and there and punish him fiercely!

However, the guard still lowered his raised hand. He took a deep breath and managed to force a smirk onto his furious face, saying to Qin Heng, "Fine! Fine! You're really something, Qin Heng. You want to see the Old Master, huh? I'll let you in!"

After saying that, the guard didn't take Qin Heng through the main entrance. Instead, he walked about ten-odd meters from the main gate, pointed to a small opening in the wall—about a meter high and only fifty centimeters wide—and said with a sneer, "Go on, get in. Your car is too low-grade, too shabby; it's not worthy of the main entrance. You can only go through here. This is a Liu family rule!

"Roll in!"
