The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 217 - 215: Regret

Qin Hao walked out of the coffee shop in high spirits and went straight home.

In the villa, Lin Yuhan hadn’t returned yet. After taking a short nap, Qin Hao hummed the familiar little tune from the Tokyo area, changed his clothes, and entered the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of rushing water filled the bathroom. Gu Qinyue happened to walk past the bathroom door, and upon hearing that familiar tune, her face immediately flushed red.

"Brother Hao, can you please never hum that music again?"

After Zhao Mengke went back that day and searched Baidu, Gu Qinyue, out of curiosity, looked it up as well. As a result, she almost blushed so hard she fainted.

Qin Hao heard Gu Qinyue’s voice inside and laughed, saying, "Okay, I’ll stop singing, I’ll stop."

Gu Qinyue gave a faint smile and said, "Brother Hao is the best."

The sound of rushing water in the bathroom came to a stop. Qin Hao stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist, then went back to his bedroom to get dressed. He saw his phone flashing with a missed call.

This must have come in while he was showering earlier. He clicked to see who had called, and it turned out to be Dong Wei.

Qin Hao dialed back, just about to return the call, when the phone rang again—it was Dong Wei calling.

Qin Hao frowned slightly, sensing that Dong Wei’s urgency wasn’t a good sign.

He answered the phone and said:

"Hello, Dong Wei, what’s up? Is something the matter?"

On the phone, Dong Wei’s voice sounded slightly anxious, "Boss, here’s the thing. You had me negotiate the specifics of the collaboration with them at noon today. We came up with an initial plan. I was just about to show it to you, and then they started having problems on their side."

"Hmm, what problems? Just tell me." Qin Hao said indifferently.

There was a brief silence from Dong Wei on the other end, then he said, "They all backed out."

Qin Hao immediately frowned, "Backed out? Why?"

"The collaboration plan had already been decided, but suddenly we received their call, one by one, they all backed out."

"Because Yu Qing gave them all an ultimatum. If they dare to cooperate with us, their businesses will be attacked by Yu Qing’s gangs."

Qin Hao paused for a moment and then nodded knowingly.

Though he expected Yu Qing wouldn’t be content, he didn’t think he’d act so swiftly.

This also highlighted a problem; the entertainment industry was indeed Yu Qing’s Achilles’ heel, his foundation for survival. That’s why he was so nervous about Qin Hao’s actions.

Under Yu Qing’s employ are numerous desperate criminals. Bars, nightclubs, bathhouses—these places are already sensitive. If Yu Qing recklessly unleashed these desperate criminals to stir up trouble, disrupt normal operations, then business would be impossible.

Because of this, it’s understandable why these entertainment industry tycoons would backtrack.

After all, collaborating with Qin Hao only promised more expansive growth. What Yu Qing dictates is whether these people’s businesses can continue to survive normally.

Between survival and development, the choice is naturally clear at a glance.

On the phone, Dong Wei continued, "Now the situation is even more troublesome. Not only have those people backed out, but some have completely sided with Yu Qing."

"Oh? How many have sided with Yu Qing now, and who are they?" Qin Hao’s voice gradually turned cold.

These entertainment industry moguls are worried about their businesses’ safety and backed out of the deal. This can be understood. And Yu Qing’s reputation in the underground world of Qingshan City is well known. Their fear of Yu Qing is normal and forgivable.

However, completely siding with Yu Qing is equivalent to declaring war on Qin Hao. These people definitely won’t be let off easily!

Dong Wei immediately said, "It’s that Boss Chen from today’s banquet. Do you remember him?"

"He is from the Chen Family, and his status in the family isn’t low. Now, he’s the one shouting the loudest, constantly inciting those who are hesitating, trying to form an alliance to go against you."

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly; he did remember this so-called Boss Chen.

Since he wants to court his own doom, Qin Hao doesn’t mind knocking down the grass to scare the rabbit, handling this trouble on the side.

He asked on the phone, "What’s the name of this Boss Chen’s business, and where is it located?"

Dong Wei promptly told Qin Hao truthfully.

Qin Hao hung up the phone. freeweɓnovel-cøm

At the same time, in the Joy Valley KTV owned by this Boss Chen, in a VIP room on the third floor, Boss Chen was secretly discussing something with a few people.

These few people were the entertainment industry bigshots who showed up at Qin Hao’s hosted banquet at noon today. Their attitudes at this moment were wavering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me say this, this is not the time to hesitate!"

Boss Chen glanced around at the people present and continued with an earnest voice, "I called everyone here for the sake of your family businesses."

"I think there’s no need to explain to you all the weight of Yu Qing’s name. Our businesses are the painstaking work of half a lifetime. Think about it, if we really anger Mr. Yu, how can we survive in Qingshan City?"

His words were reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Partnering with Qin Hao was appealing mainly because he seemed like a nouveau riche, someone who suddenly came into a lot of money—after partnering, their business scale could easily double.

Faced with such huge benefits, being businesspeople, of course, they had no reason to refuse. But in this world, alliances based on benefits can also be broken by benefits.

And Yu Qing’s actions essentially threw them a simple choice.

Survival? Or development?

This choice wasn’t difficult. Boss Chen coaxed, and one person immediately voiced, "Boss Chen is right; we don’t know much about this Qin Hao. He’s just a disowned son of the Qin Family. Even if he has money, he can’t possibly stand against Mr. Yu!"

"Exactly, not just Qin Hao, even the entire Qin Family is at best equal with Mr. Yu. We are all from small families; it’s not worth offending Mr. Yu."

Seeing everyone agree, Boss Chen felt inner joy and visibly showed a bit of pride. He seized the moment to add, "Exactly, everyone understands these principles! Besides, Mr. Yu has assassins from the Celestial List."

At these words, everyone present was moved, each showing a look of fear. One person muttered, "Celestial List assassins! Mr. Yu’s background is truly unfathomable."

"Heh heh, Mr. Yu has been operating in Qingshan City for so many years. His foundation and power can’t be compared to Qin Hao, this outsider kid."

"I won’t hide it from you. Qin Hao’s actions have thoroughly infuriated Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu expressed his great anger. His Celestial List experts aren’t to be trifled with. I bet Qin Hao won’t last long."

Boss Chen finished speaking and looked at everyone’s shocked expressions, feeling greatly satisfied. The reputation of Celestial List experts is known to anyone of stature in Qingshan City.

Seeing that they were all intimidated, Boss Chen was ready to administer one final decisive blow!
