Could he love himself more than this?
“However.” Quan Zexi changed the subject and his voice dropped, “I don’t value these stupid idiots’ respect!”
Qiao Qing and the others, “…”
Why was he so childish?
The cars drove past another neighborhood. There, there were soldiers with their search warrants banging on people’s doors. Quan Zexi hissed.
“Idiotic fool. Doesn’t he ever think things through? Xia Houshang is not the type of person to remain loyal. No matter how much he tries to please her, she will not thank him back. On the contrary, she will simply ask for more!”
Mu Jinghang agreed, “The only reason he’s humoring her is that she designs weapons. If he finds out that Qingqing is the God of Gun, the best designer of them all, he will die of regret.”
Zhao Sizhan chimed in, “Exactly!”
…
The car made its way to the Xia family home. The closer they got to their destination, the more traffic there was.
From afar, they saw that there were at least three layers of guards outside the gates and inside.
There were crowds of Duke Xia’s friends and family, the family’s bodyguards, as well as…. angry citizens waiting for their prey.
The arrival of Quan Zexi’s personal car rowdied the crowd.
“Get out of the way! Duke Quan is here!”
“Duke Quan is here to mourn Duke Xia. Everyone, spread out and make a path!”
“Duke Quan, you must get justice for Ms. Xia!”
“Exactly! You cannot just let the murderer live freely!”
“…”
As everyone shouted at the car, Quan Zexi got out.
The person to get out of the car after him absolutely astonished them.
In disbelief, someone asked, “Is that… Qiao Qing?”
Since the name Qiao Qing was an internationally recognized name, nobody intentionally tried to delete her photos on the internet.
Everyone had already found out what she looked like after they read Xia Houshang’s post. Naturally, they were no strangers to her face.
“It’s her! I just compared her to this photo I have. It’s her!” Someone shouted.
“Why’s she with Duke Quan?”
“Duke Quan captured her I bet!”
“Duke Quan is amazing!”
“Then why isn’t she in handcuffs? And why’s she riding in his private vehicle?”
“I don’t know, but who cares! Since she’s here, what are we waiting for? Let’s beat her up! The murderer deserves death!”
One of the protest leaders shouted at everyone. Some middle-aged woman picked up some rotten eggs and broken lettuce leaves out of her basket. She was ready to throw them at Qiao Qing.
However, before she could release, a group of Quan Zexi’s guards surrounded Quan Zexi and Qiao Qing and they formed an unbreakable wall.
The group of violent protestors started to curse.
“This murderer deserves to die!”
“An eye for an eye!”
“What a b!tch! Just because you were worried that your boyfriend might get stolen away, you unleash your anger onto our national goddess?!”
“You deserve to be left behind! I hope the young master can wipe his eyes clean and stay away from this evil woman!”
“If Ms. Xia gives up her career and stops protecting us, we will drag you down to hell!”
“The more obsessed you are, the less likely you are able to keep your man! I thought you were someone capable but now I see what kind of character you have. You’re worth less than Ms. Xia’s fingers!”
“…”
The cursing around them was endless. While Qiao Qing’s expression remained unchanged, the group of men lost it.
Jun Yexuan was about to explode when he saw the look in his father-in-law’s eyes.
He knew that they shared the same sentiment and he loudly ordered, “Punishment granted!”
The group of guards was already angry to hear what these people were saying. It didn’t matter to them who sent the orders, all it mattered was that they received permission to counterattack..
