Chapter 258 - Thugs

"It's me," he said the moment it connected. "I know you are busy at the moment, but there is something very urgent I need you to check, right now.

"He Yuyan has appeared at our engagement party. I think she has planned something. Check it out for me."

Hei Yi, who had been laid back at the beginning, suddenly turned solemn, his voice was serious as he answered, "got it."

Han Qingshan did not immediately return to Jiang Yingyue. Instead, he called his bodyguards and had all of them rush to the venue; the ones present were tasked with observing all surroundings and ensure that He Yuyan could not move without being observed.

Only after ensuring that everything was planned thoroughly did he return to Jiang Yingyue's side.

Jiang Yingyue had also noticed He Yuyan, but she had said nothing. She knew her partner well enough to know that the reason he had vanished was to deal with her.

There was no pity towards He Yuyan. She had taken action against her too many times, she tried to deal with Han Qingshan and herself far too often, her obsession causing her to be mentally unstable.

As the final guests entered the hall, Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue took to the stage to speak up. However, the moment they reached the stage, the doors, which had been closed, were kicked open with immense force.

A group of fifty young men entered through the door, their outfits were clearly those that gangs used, their bodies were covered in tattoos, and they all held weapons. Some were holding bats, and metal pipes, while a few were using guns.

The emergence of this group made Han Qingshan's eyes darken in displeasure; neither he nor Jiang Yingyue needed to think much to know that this group was 'invited' by He Yuyan.

The leader took his gun and fired a shot into the ceiling, a resounding bang erupting in the silent venue, and dust started falling from the roof where the bullet had been lodged.

"No one speaks!" the leader yelled out, and the beginning panic caused many to freeze in their steps.

While the younger generation was fearful, the older generation had seen many things throughout their years; this was not something they were afraid of.

The same went for Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan. If the man had wanted to kill someone, he would have already shot that person, instead of shooting at the ceiling.

Seeing that Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan were seemingly unbothered by the ruckus caused by their group, the leader was fuming mad.

Not even one bodyguard had approached him; he assumed that all of them were scaredy-cats who dared not challenge him when he held a gun in his hands.

"Give the woman to us, and we will let the rest of you go free," the leader said as he greedily looked at Jiang Yingyue. He had already been told how beautiful she was, and he was eager to take her away, but his words only caused her to feel disgusted.

Jiang Yingyue was not the only one who was feeling disgusted, Han Qingshan's brows furrowed, unrestrained killing intent erupted from his body, rendering the thugs who had been hired by He Yuyan shaky and slightly fearful.

"You think you are qualified to take away my fiance?" Han Qingshan asked with a low voice. Although it was low, one could not hear any emotion within it, but most who knew Han Qingshan began shuddering in fear.

Han Qingshan was the kind of person who would be smiling even as he drove your family to bankruptcy, he would smile as he destroyed the lives of others, so how terrifying would the punishment be for making him angry?

"It seems you are not really aware of the current situation," the thug leader said as he snickered. "We are fifty people in our group; all of us are carrying weapons. How can you weak-legged upper-class shrimps even dream about fighting back?"

The man began laughing out loud, but Han Qingshan just looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"Do you know my name?" Han Qingshan suddenly asked, his calm voice shocking the thug leader.

"Your name? To hell with your name, I don't care even if you were the president! I will take your woman with me, and you will never see her again. I've been paid to do so, you can never change this outcome!"

"My name is Han Qingshan, heir to the Han Corporation. Indeed my strength is not enough to personally deal with fifty of your people, but I don't need to. Do you know why? I have money. So much money that I can ask others to do it for me."

His words were overbearing; however, the moment he spoke, a group of over a hundred men appeared. All of them were above a hundred and eighty centimeters, they were wearing black suits, and their eyes were bursting with anger and killing intent.

In front of the group was a young man. He seemed to be around the same age as Han Qingshan, but he was cold and apathetic. However, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Hei Yi?" Jiang Yingyue looked at the youth and felt him somewhat familiar. She had not seen him before, but the aura he gave off was hard to forget.

The group of thugs saw the trained hundred bodyguards, and their hearts sank. The man said he was Han Qingshan, the heir to the Han Corporation? That was a business empire which could hardly be competed against.

The thug leader started cursing at He Yuyan for having sent him here with such a mission when he was nothing more than a low ranked thug who had gathered another few groups of low ranked thugs.
