From Sidekick to Bigshot

Were they actually going to fight?

An evil smile appeared on Henry’s face.

That’s right. He ordered Qin Chuan to come.

After all, as of now, Qin Chuan was completely under his control. If he ordered him to come, Qin Chuan had to come. If he ordered him to become enemies with someone, he had to become enemies with that person!

That was the case even if his father just passed away. That was the case even if he did not want to attend such an event.

Qin Chuan followed Henry’s instructions and walked over to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

His eyes were not angry. However, there was a heavy expression on his face.

Jian Yiling raised her head to look at him. She could not help but frown.

This was the first time she had seen him ever since Qin Hongzhi’s death.

However, intentionally or not, Qin Chuan did not look at Jian Yiling.

“Oh, Mr. Qin is here too. Welcome, Mr. Qin,” Henry said. He got up to welcome Qin Chuan. He acted as though he did not know what was going on.

Qin Chuan’s hand was clenched into a fist. It seemed as though he was suppressing his pain and anger.

As usual, the corners of Zhai Yunsheng’s lips were upturned. There was an evil and playful smile dancing on his lips. It appeared as though he was not surprised by Qin Chuan’s arrival. In fact, Zhai Yunsheng’s smile seemed to be mocking Qin Chuan.

“How have you been doing lately?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

The atmosphere instantly reached a freezing point.

A lot of people had been speculating that Jian Yiling’s medicine had caused Qin Hongzhi’s death.

And if his fiancee was suspected of poisoning Qin Chuan’s father, shouldn’t Zhai Yunsheng not ask such a question?

Wasn’t he essentially looking for a fight?

“What do you think?” Qin Chuan replied.

“Well, you don’t seem to be doing well. Therefore, I wanted to do something to comfort Mr. Qin,” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he held up his chin with one hand.

He was comforting Qin Chuan?

It looked like he was mocking him!

Why was Zhai Yunsheng acting so cruel? Were the two families actually going to clash?

“No thanks,” Qin Chuan replied calmly.

He could keep his composure. This was the case even if his enemy was standing right in front of him.

Then, Qin Chuan’s eyes fell on Jian Yiling. He took a deep breath before he said: “As a murderer, what right do you have to attend this ball?”

As soon as he said this, the whole room went silent.

Even the music stopped.

Everyone turned to look at Jian Yiling. Some were ready to mock her whilst others were so shocked that they were covering their mouths in surprise.

Were the rumors true? Did Qin Hongzhi actually die after eating Jian Yiling’s medicine?

Was Jian Yiling actually a murderer?

Although Jian Yiling was accused of being a murderer, she remained calm. There was no panic on her face.

“Evidence,” Jian Yiling said calmly.

“The surveillance video in my home is evidence,” Qin Chuan said.

As he said this, Qin Chuan took out a USB: “Do you dare to let me play this USB?”

“Go ahead,” Jian Yiling replied. She was not scared at all.

“Very good.” Then, Qin Chuan turned around to speak to Henry: “Let me borrow the broadcasting equipment.”

Henry pretended to hesitate for a moment before he agreed.

He asked someone to play the contents in Qin Chuan’s USB.

The ball gathered all the rich, powerful, and influential people in Beijing. They would all be watching this video.

As long as the contents of the USB were played, everyone in Beijing would know what happened that night in the Qin Residence.

And thus, the staff played the video.

As there was audio and playback equipment at the venue, the large on-site screen allowed everyone to view the contents of the video.
