2: Chapter 2 The Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain to Steal the Wedding? Stop Your Fiancée's Financial Chain!
"Creak—"
The two banquet hall doors, crafted from precious golden Phoebe nanmu, were slowly pushed open by Qin Yuan.
The heavy friction of the doors instantly drew the gaze of the entire room.
Inside the hall, crystal chandeliers sparkled, and the air was filled with the scent of perfume and the rustle of fine clothing.
Hundreds of top-tier dignitaries, tycoons, and celebrities from all walks of life in Jiangzhong Province were gathered together.
Seeing Qin Yuan appear, they stood up from their seats one after another, their faces filled with humble and fawning smiles.
"Young Master Qin is here!"
"Young Master Qin looks truly dashing today!"
"It is truly our honor to attend the engagement banquet of the Qin Family and the Su Family."
Qin Yuan turned a deaf ear to these flatteries.
His gaze swept over the crowd and landed directly on the main stage.
There, a woman stood, wearing a pure white strapless wedding dress.
Her figure was slender, and her skin was as fair as snow.
Her face, which could be described as stunning, was frozen in an eternal, icy expression that kept others at a distance.
She was the number one beautiful CEO of Jiangzhong City, Su Qingxue.
She was also his fiancée in name.
At this moment, there was a hint of imperceptible resistance and disgust in Su Qingxue's eyes.
Clearly, she had no affection whatsoever for this commercial marriage or for the notorious playboy standing before her.
Seeing the main guest arrive, the emcee immediately raised his voice, his face beaming with professional cheer.
"Now, let us welcome with the warmest applause our male lead for today, the sole heir of the Qin Group, Mr. Qin Yuan!"
Thunderous applause erupted.
A faint, almost imperceptible arc hung on the corner of Qin Yuan's mouth as he stepped toward the stage.
Everything was exactly the same as the original plot.
In that case, that blind fool should be arriving soon.
Just as Qin Yuan's foot was about to step onto the first step.
"Bang—!"
A deafening crash suddenly echoed from the entrance of the banquet hall!
Those two golden Phoebe nanmu doors, worth millions, were kicked into splinters from the outside by someone using extremely brutal force!
Amidst the flying wood chips, a young figure wearing a faded, tattered Taoist robe and cloth shoes appeared at the doorway, silhouetted against the light.
He looked a bit disheveled, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, carrying an air of arrogance that looked down upon all living beings.
The entire hall was in an uproar!
All the guests looked toward the entrance in astonishment, wondering which death-wish-having fool dared to come to the Qin Family's venue to cause trouble.
"Ye... Ye Chen?"
On the stage, the always icy-cold Su Qingxue felt a flicker of extremely complex emotion flash through her beautiful eyes the moment she saw the intruder.
There was shock, excitement, and a hint of... anticipation?
Qin Yuan sneered inwardly.
He had arrived, just as expected.
This uninvited guest was none other than the Child of Destiny of this book, the divine doctor who had returned from training in the Kunlun Mountains, Ye Chen.
He was also Su Qingxue's childhood sweetheart.
"Qingxue! I'm back!"
Ye Chen ignored the hundreds of astonished gazes around him; his eyes were fixed solely on the woman in the wedding dress on the stage.
He strode in, his voice as loud as a bell, carrying an unquestionable domineering air.
"Three years ago, I was forced to leave home. Today, I have returned in force to fulfill the marriage contract from back then!"
"Today, with me, Ye Chen, here, no one can force you to marry a man you don't like!"
"I'm protecting this woman!"
After saying this, Ye Chen's blade-like gaze pierced fiercely toward Qin Yuan, who was standing by the stage.
The provocation and disdain in his eyes were undisguised.
According to the original plot, his brainless villain persona would be thoroughly enraged next.
Then he would rush up to challenge Ye Chen to a fight, only to be beaten tooth and nail in public by Ye Chen's suave military boxing, becoming a laughingstock.
But now...
Qin Yuan couldn't even be bothered to lift an eyelid.
He didn't rush up like a fool; instead, he turned and walked to the head of the main table, sitting down in a leisurely manner.
He picked up a glass of '82 Lafite, swirled it gently, and even had the mood to take a sip.
This abnormal behavior stunned everyone.
Even Ye Chen, who had been prepared to face Qin Yuan's fury, felt as if his full-powered punch had landed on cotton, which was extremely frustrating.
"Qin Yuan! You coward who only knows how to hide behind women! If you have any guts, fight me!"
Ye Chen pointed at Qin Yuan's nose and cursed loudly.
Qin Yuan put down his wine glass and finally looked up at him, his gaze like that of someone watching a monkey jumping up and down.
"A fight?"
Qin Yuan laughed, a somewhat contemptuous laugh.
"This... Daoist, have you misunderstood something?"
"This is the twenty-first century, a society ruled by law. Solving problems hasn't relied on fists for a long time."
After saying this, Qin Yuan took his phone out of his pocket and, in front of everyone, dialed a number.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart.
"System, consume 100 favor points to exchange for one unconditional action from [President Li Guofu of the Jiangzhong Branch of the Universal Bank]."
[Ding! Exchange successful! The favor has taken effect; the other party will unconditionally fulfill one reasonable request from the host.]
The call was answered almost instantly.
From the receiver came the incredibly fawning voice of a middle-aged man.
"Oh my, Young Master Qin! What time do you have to call me personally? Please, tell me what you need!"
Qin Yuan put the phone on speaker and tossed it casually onto the table.
He leaned back, resting against the comfortable chair back, his voice lazy and casual.
"President Li, help me handle a small matter."
"The Su Group, the one belonging to Su Qingxue's family—don't they have a ten-billion-yuan revolving loan at your bank recently?"
President Li on the other end of the line was stunned for a moment before immediately replying: "Yes, Young Master Qin! It is absolutely compliant, there are no issues at all!"
Qin Yuan smiled faintly.
"Now, make it have some issues."
"I don't care what reason you use, whether it's a tax audit or risk control. Within three minutes, I want to hear the news that the Su Family's capital chain has broken."
"Is there a problem?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone looked at Qin Yuan with the eyes of someone looking at a madman.
This... this was tearing off the mask in public and directly striking a fatal blow against his own fiancée's family!
President Li on the other end of the line broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
This was a ten-billion-level loan; stopping it just like that—he, as the president, couldn't afford to take the blame if something went wrong!
But as soon as he thought of the even more terrifying giant Buddha behind Qin Yuan, he made his decision instantly.
"No... no problem! Young Master Qin, please rest assured! I will handle it immediately! I will handle it personally!"
President Li hung up the phone and immediately began roaring out orders.
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Su Qingxue's father, Chairman Su Baichuan of the Su Group, had turned deathly pale.
He rushed in front of Qin Yuan, shocked and furious.
"Qin Yuan! You... what is the meaning of this? Our two families are about to become in-laws!"
Qin Yuan picked up his wine glass, blew on the non-existent dust on it, and didn't even glance at him.
"In-laws?"
"That depends on whether Miss Su chooses me as her fiancé, or that wild Daoist who popped out of some mountain ditch at the door."
Just as he finished speaking.
The phone in Chairman Su Baichuan's pocket emitted a violent, life-threatening vibration.
He answered the phone with trembling hands, and the heart-wrenching wails of the company's CFO came from the receiver.
"Chairman! It's bad! The Universal Bank suddenly withdrew the loan and froze all our accounts! The company's capital chain... has broken!"
"Boom!"
Chairman Su Baichuan was struck as if by lightning, and the phone fell to the ground with a "clatter."
He swayed, terrified, and collapsed onto the floor, his lips trembling, unable to say a single word.
He turned his head abruptly, his blood-red eyes fixed firmly on Ye Chen, who was still standing there acting cool.
All his rage found a vent at this moment.
Chairman Su Baichuan scrambled up from the floor, rushed over like a madman, and slapped Ye Chen fiercely across the face with a loud crack!
"It's all because of you, you jinx! You've doomed our Su Family!"
And on the stage, Su Qingxue, who had still been holding onto a sliver of hope for Ye Chen, watched her father's devastated and desperate appearance.
A crack finally appeared on her frozen, beautiful face.
She turned her head slowly, and for the first time, a hint of pleading and fear appeared in those once-cold, beautiful eyes.
Desperately, she looked toward that devilish man sitting in the seat of honor, holding a wine glass, and enjoying everything with an amused expression.
