Chapter 832: Chapter 832 The Meng Family Makes a Move

Shui Huilan wrapped her arm around Qin Hao’s as they entered the elevator, catching the attention of Meng Qinghui and Meng Gaoyuan, who shot a glance at Qin Hao.

They didn’t know this man, and he wasn’t a son from any prominent family in Guangyang City. Who was he? How could he be so close to Shui Huilan?

With all the recent upheaval in the Shui Family, did it have something to do with him? In an instant, Meng Gaoyuan thought of many things.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Meng Qinghui’s eyes. He had always liked Shui Huilan and wanted to conquer this famous strong woman of Guangyang City.

Who is that man? Seeing Shui Huilan so close to him, could he be in that kind of relationship with her?

Has the woman I’ve always wanted to conquer been conquered by this guy? Seeing the way Shui Huilan looks at him, there’s definitely something between them.

A blazing fire of jealousy rose in Meng Qinghui’s eyes. Shui Huilan, such a strong woman, and he hadn’t even had a taste yet. How could he let someone else get there first?

Qin Hao and Shui Huilan soon arrived at the hotel’s banquet hall, where many people had already gathered. Most were already present; the ones who came later were from the more powerful families.

The room quieted significantly as Shui Huilan and her group entered, with many heads turning to look at them.

The Shui Family’s change of leadership had quite an impact on many in Guangyang City. After all, those other forces had previously relied on Shui Taisheng. Now with Shui Huilan in charge, they were uncertain about her intentions toward them, feeling very uneasy.

Many also noticed Qin Hao beside Shui Huilan. Seeing her intimately holding the arm of a stranger, many of their eyes glimmered with curiosity. Who was he? What was his relationship with Shui Huilan?

Shui Huilan walked over to the allied forces of the Shui Family and, after saying a few words to Qin Hao, let go of his arm and began to converse with them with a smile.

The others felt a sense of relief seeing Shui Huilan’s friendly demeanor toward them.

As long as Shui Huilan had no hard feelings toward them, they could be at ease. After all, they had been flattering Shui Taisheng and the others previously.

Soon after, the Family Heads of the Meng Family and the Yan Family also came in, mingling with their respective groups in their designated areas.

Qin Hao casually found a place to sit down and said to Luna and Jiao Rou, “You two sit down too, and have something to eat.”

Luna and Jiao Rou each sat beside him, these two breathtaking beauties drawing quite a few stares.

While Qin Hao was casually eating his snacks, Meng Qinghui approached, stopping at his table and looking at Qin Hao and the two women with him. “What’s your relationship with Shui Huilan?”

Qin Hao looked up at him. “What’s between her and me has nothing to do with you, does it?”

Meng Qinghui’s expression darkened. “Do you know where you are? Do you believe I can kill you right here in Guangyang City?”

“Idiot.” Qin Hao glanced up at him, spitting out the words disdainfully.

Meng Qinghui’s face sank. If Shui Huilan had said that, he might have let it go, given her status and position. But Qin Hao, just a pretty boy Shui Huilan was keeping, had the gall to insult him?

He raised his hand to slap Qin Hao’s face. If he couldn’t touch Shui Huilan, he could certainly deal with this fellow.

Before Meng Qinghui’s hand could land, Leng Xuan intercepted it, then delivered a resounding slap to his face, a sound that echoed throughout the banquet hall, drawing many curious glances.

“Whoa, Meng Qinghui got hit? Who’s that guy?”

“What happened? How did the son of the Meng Family get slapped?”

The people of the Shui Family, the Yan Family, and the Meng Family all saw what had happened, each with their own thoughts. This person, brought by Shui Huilan, had struck the son of the Meng Family. Meng Gaoyuan would not let this slide.

Even though he was linked to Shui Huilan, he wasn’t Shui Huilan herself. Meng Gaoyuan wouldn’t show her face for this. If this incident didn’t display the Meng Family’s strength, what would the others think? What would those who depended on the Meng Family think?

Meng Gaoyuan shouted angrily, “How dare you hit my son? Guards, seize him and break his arms and legs!”

The Meng Family’s servants rushed forward, but Shui Huilan spoke up, “Hold on! Family Head Meng, without discerning right from wrong, you’re trying to cripple my man. Isn’t that too domineering? It’s clear your son came over to cause trouble and deservedly got beaten.”

Meng Gaoyuan’s face was impassive. “Family Head Shui, I advise you not to intervene, or don’t blame us Mengs for being ruthless.”

Meng Gaoyuan’s words were a warning to Shui Huilan, implying that anyone who stood in their way would become an enemy of the Meng Family.

Currently, the Shui Family was the weakest among the three major families, with the Meng Family ranked second and the Yan Family as the foremost.

At that moment, Yan An, the son of the Yan Family, stepped forward, a faint smile on his face. “Regardless, he shouldn’t have hit Meng. This is a matter of the Meng Family’s reputation.”

The crowd saw the Yan Family stepping up for the Meng Family, each person’s gaze full of different sentiments. Was Yan An signaling something, or was he just trying to sow discord between the Shui and Meng Families?

No matter his intentions, the Yan Family would indirectly benefit from this situation.

Shui Huilan squinted slightly at Yan An. Had the Meng Family already fallen in line with the Yan Family?

Qin Hao then spoke up, “A bunch of useless fools. Even if I beat you, what could you do about it?”

“Arrogant! Seize him!” Meng Gaoyuan shouted coldly.

The Meng Family’s people charged forward, and Qin Hao’s Shadow Guards also stepped out. The two sides clashed fiercely within the banquet hall, fighting fiercely.

The crowd was stunned. What the hell, they really started fighting here! Isn’t this too exhilarating?

Could it be that the Shui and Meng Families would settle things here tonight?

No matter the outcome, both families would suffer significant losses, potentially resulting in both falling while the Yan Family reaped the benefits.

The fight in the banquet hall lasted over a minute, with all the Meng Family members lying on the ground.

Meng Gaoyuan’s face was gloomy. These people were incredibly skilled, but it wasn’t over yet. Fortunately, he had come prepared tonight.

A dozen guards behind him brandished laser guns.

The sight made faces turn pale; Meng Gaoyuan had even brought the Meng Family’s elite guards? He had indeed come prepared.

“Zap zap zap”

Beams of light lit up as the laser guns aimed not only at Qin Hao’s group but also at everyone in the Shui Family’s sphere, including Shui Huilan and her entourage.

At the same time, a group of people wielding laser weapons burst in from outside the banquet hall.

The Yan Family members’ expressions changed slightly upon seeing this. Who were these people? Were they from the Shui Family or the Meng Family?

When the laser guns turned to target the Yan Family, both Yan An and Yan Family’s head Yang Yang’s faces changed dramatically.

Without further ado, “Zap zap zap” filled the hall with flashes of light, and screams echoed within seconds.
