81: Chapter 81 This son-in-law is mine!
Thud!
The corpse of Long Heng slammed heavily onto the ground.
Bai Jing, Jiang Xue, and even the matriarch of the Bai family, Zhang Xueli, were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Their stomachs churned, and they were so stimulated that they nearly retched.
Bai Dongshan's pupils shook violently.
He had thought this matter would end here, turning hostility into friendship.
Who would have thought that Qin Ge would suddenly change his attitude?
To kill his only son right in front of Long Zhan?!
This was simply too brutal.
Even as the head of the Bai family, having experienced many storms, he felt a sense of fear toward Qin Ge at this moment.
"Young Master Qin..."
Long Zhan looked at his only son's tragic death, his gaze becoming dull.
His mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously called out.
Qin Ge looked at Long Zhan with interest and said with a smile, "Every debt has its debtor. Your Long family is biased, so it is most reasonable for an outsider like me to handle this."
"Long Heng wanted to harm others, so he deserved to die. Your Long family's submission and apologies are not enough to fix this."
"For instance, if I slept with your wife, Long Zhan, it wouldn't be enough for me to apologize to you and then let your wife sleep with me to turn hostility into friendship."
Jiang Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The words were crude, but the logic held up.
But the way Qin Ge said it was just too crude!
Long Zhan lowered his head, not saying a word.
Qin Ge teased with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Long Zhan shook his head, "I dare not."
"I can see you're unconvinced, but even if you're unhappy, you'll have to bottle it up!"
"Why are you still kneeling here? You're an eyesore. Get lost!"
Qin Ge shouted angrily at Long Zhan.
What kind of idiot son did he raise?
There were only four women on the scene, and Long Heng had coveted every single one of them.
Even he hadn't coveted Zhang Xueli! At most, he held a sense of appreciation and curiosity, comparing the similarities between the mother and daughter.
And this old thing Long Zhan, even after coming over to kneel and beg for mercy, still wanted to play mind games.
Did he really think of him, the Great Villain, as a child?
Long Zhan lowered his head and stood up, walking over to Long Heng's corpse.
Qin Ge said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing? There is no need for your Long family to handle the cleanup."
"Then I will trouble you, Young Master Qin."
Long Zhan bowed to Qin Ge, then quickly walked out of the Bai residence.
As Long Zhan left, the Bai family's dining room became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Bai Dongshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, taking the initiative to break the silence, and said to Qin Ge with a fawning smile, "Young Master Qin, you killed his only son right in front of Long Zhan. I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved so easily!"
Qin Ge said with a smile, "What does Uncle Bai suggest?"
Bai Dongshan gritted his teeth, "You should have finished the job—you should have killed Long Zhan as well!"
It wasn't that he wanted to use Qin Ge's power to strike at the Long family.
But right now, that was indeed the safest solution.
Otherwise, killing a son in front of his father—how could Long Zhan let it go?
If Long Zhan had died as well, the Long family would have been leaderless and fallen into infighting, unable to cause trouble for Qin Ge and his Bai family again.
Bai Jing nodded heavily and said seriously, "Qin Ge, it would have been better if you were a bit more ruthless. You should have killed Long Zhan too."
"That way, this pair of evildoing father and son wouldn't be able to harm anyone else."
Qin Ge tilted his head, eyeing Bai Jing's proud chest, "You, a secretary of the board, are teaching me, the chairman, how to do things?"
Hilarious.
Even if he killed Long Heng in front of Long Zhan, so what?
Just as he said, no matter how unhappy Long Zhan was, he would have to suppress that anger.
Revenge?
Even if you gave Long Zhan ten times the courage, would he dare?
Besides, if he killed Long Zhan now, how could he use the Long family's hands to get rid of Bai Feng, that Child of Destiny?
Things had reached this point.
Why not go with the flow and let the Child of Destiny take the blame for Long Zhan's death?
The Long family and Bai Feng would kill each other.
He would reap the rewards of the fisherman.
Two birds with one stone.
Why not?
"Alright, Long Zhan won't trouble the Bai family in the future, so I won't disturb you any longer."
After standing up and offering this reassurance, Qin Ge walked away.
Long Zhan wouldn't live for many more days.
It was impossible for him to seek revenge.
Bai Dongshan hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "It is late into the night. Why doesn't Young Master Qin stay at my Bai residence for the night?"
Qin Ge shook his head and refused.
He still needed to set up the trap to kill Bai Feng.
How could he waste time here?
"Qin Ge, I'm coming with you." Jiang Xue stood up and hurriedly trotted behind Qin Ge.
Qin Ge glanced in Bai Jing's direction and said with a smile, "You two best friends should have a nice, intimate chat."
After Qin Ge left with Qiao Yingzi.
Jiang Xue looked dejected, her beautiful eyes looking somewhat dull as she looked at Bai Jing, and she said with a forced smile, "Jingjing, I'll go stay out for the night."
Bai Jing nodded with a smile.
Long Heng was dead.
With Qin Ge's deterrence, the Long family would likely never dare to seek revenge again.
In a great mood, she said, "I'll go stay out with you!"
Zhang Xueli looked at Jiang Xue and said with a smile, "Then, Xiaoxue, go book a hotel first, and we will send Jingjing to accompany you later."
After Jiang Xue left in a daze, Bai Jing angrily said to her mother, "Mom, why did you let Xiaoxue go find a hotel by herself? Didn't you see how disappointed she is? Qin Ge is her boyfriend; she wanted to go with Qin Ge but was rejected, she needs someone to comfort her!"
Zhang Xueli said with a straight face, "Are you still planning to play matchmaker for Jiang Xue and Qin Ge?"
Bai Jing's mind raced.
Previously, she had planned to expose Qin Ge's ugly face, let Jiang Xue see clearly, and then stay away.
Now, she felt that even if she exposed him, Jiang Xue was probably already too deep in the quagmire to pull herself out.
Besides, this time, Qin Ge had shown great kindness to her, Bai Jing, and her Bai family.
Even though she was close to Jiang Xue, she couldn't make things difficult for her own savior!
Perhaps matchmaking was better than breaking them up.
Actually, Qin Ge wasn't as shameless as she thought!
No.
Qin Ge was still shameless enough.
It's just that, when it came to major issues of right and wrong, he was very clear!
Zhang Xueli was so angry her chest heaved, and she scolded, "Bai Jing, did a donkey kick you in the head? Has all your nutrition gone to the fat on your chest!?"
"You think Qin Ge showed up because of Jiang Xue? If it weren't for you, even if Jiang Xue begged him, how could he have rushed to Magic City in the middle of the night!?"
Bai Jing pouted angrily.
Her chest was inherited from her mother, wasn't it?
Others could criticize, but why could her mom criticize?
Before she could retort, hearing the latter part, Bai Jing said with surprise in her beautiful eyes, "Mom, do you mean that Qin Ge is interested in me?"
"That can't be, right?"
Zhang Xueli said with a straight face, without a hint of doubt, "Young Master Qin has done a great favor to my Bai family; it is no exaggeration to say he is your savior, Bai Jing!"
"Now, Long Heng is dead, but Long Zhan is not. If you want to save your life and protect our Bai family, relying on Young Master Qin is the only way!"
Bai Dongshan sighed, "Young Master Qin's thoughts are beyond me. Perhaps not killing Long Zhan was intentional, meant to make our Bai family rely on him."
Looking at Bai Jing, he smiled bitterly, "More precisely, it is to make you take the initiative to approach him and seek protection."
"This..."
Bai Jing's little head was spinning.
Qin Ge had actually done so much for her?
Was he being a bit too infatuated?
But, Qin Ge was her best friend's ex-boyfriend.
Bai Jing bit her moist lip and said shyly and angrily, "This guy Qin Ge is just too shameless!"
Zhang Xueli said with a straight face, "Whether it's family background, appearance, or character, you, Bai Jing, are not worthy of Qin Ge!"
"Now, it is a blessing for our Bai family that Qin Ge has taken a fancy to you. I don't care what you think, Bai Jing, but Mom is determined to have this son-in-law!"
