Chapter 77: Qin Kexiu, a Little Rascal?

  "Oh no!" In the plantation, Qin Kesu suddenly stood up, muttering to himself, his eyes gazing in the direction of Wangcheng.

  It seems like Cheng Zihan has gotten into trouble.

  "Cheng Zihan is in trouble, hurry to Wangcheng Hotel to find Han Jincheng!" Mangcang suddenly floated out at this time, with a serious expression, and said to Qin Kexiu.

  Because the Tree Spirit Space is a completely independent space, not the usual kind of portable space, and although Cheng Zihang is now the master of Mangcang, Mangcang as an ancient legacy with independent consciousness is a tree spirit that can leave its master free to act, so even if something happens to Cheng Zihang, it will not be implicated.

  His face was graver than ever before.

  Qin Kesou looked at him and asked anxiously: "Mangcang, what's going on? What happened to Zihan?"

  "It's a long story, you go get help to rescue her first, we can't appear now. In the whole of Wang City, the only one who can save Zi Han is Han Jing Chen." Mang Cang sighed and didn't explain.

  "I'm going right away." Qin Kexiu didn't dare hesitate and was about to set off, but Mang Cang hurriedly called out to him.

  "Qin Ke Xiu, wait a minute, you have to bring Cheng Hai with you." Mang Cang added.

  Qin Kesou looked at Mangcang with an uncomprehending expression.

  "Don't ask me why, just bring Cheng Hai along with you, only he has a way to persuade Han Jinchen to take action, hurry up, or it will be too late!" Mang Cang shouted at Qin Kexiu.

  Qin Kesou no longer hesitated and hurriedly went to start the car to go back to the village to pick up Cheng Hai.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes were tightly closed, and she was tied up with a rope, thrown to the ground.

  Yan Han moved a chair over and sat down properly, lowering his head to gaze coldly at Cheng Ziheng.

  "Wake her up." Yan Han said coldly, casting a glance at the person next door.

  "Yes." One of the bodyguards responded and went over to pour a bucket of cold water over his head.

  Cheng Zihan was drenched from head to toe, but she didn't react at all.

  Yan Han furrowed his brow and looked back at the older man behind him with a puzzled expression.

  "She's fallen under our control, where does she think it's that easy to wake up?" The man let out a disdainful cold snort, his eyebrows full of arrogant expression.

  Yan Han's face changed slightly, but due to the other person's identity, he could only smile and nod in agreement. "Then, is there any way to wake her up?"

  The man glanced at Yan Han faintly, walked over, grabbed Cheng Zihans hair with one hand, pulled her up, and slapped two palms past.

  Two crisp slaps.

  Cheng Zihan groaned, her head throbbing with a dull ache that made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She slowly opened her eyes to find an old face staring back at her, especially the black and white eyeballs that were particularly frightening.

  Cheng Zihan quickly calmed down and looked coldly at the old man in front of her.

  "Who are you? What do you want?" Although I don't know what identity the old man in front of me has, it seems that he should be a person from that so-called hidden world family.

  This black and white eyeball is indeed strange.

  The man in front of her slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, coldly looked at Cheng Zihuan, let go of his hand, and said proudly: "Hmph, you little girl, don't even have the qualifications to know the name of my Yan City Chu family."

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently at the words. Why did he feel that the old man in front of him was not quite right in the head? Don't talk nonsense.

  "Chu Lao." Yan Han also called out in a speechless tone.

  The man called Chu Lao glared at Cheng Zihang before retreating and returning to Yan Han's side.

  "Cheng Zihan, didn't you think this day would come? You've also fallen into my hands." Yan Han looked at Cheng Zihan, his mouth curled up in a cold smile.

  Cheng Zihan sat up straight and looked at Yan Han with a slanted gaze, "Yan Gongzi invited me here, is there something you want to discuss?"

  Yan Han's face was cold and he sneered, "Of course it's good news! Cheng Zihuan! You've made me suffer enough! Now, it's time for you to pay me back! Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly, I'll torture you slowly!"

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and gave Yan Han a light glance, "The national law is severe in punishing **underage girls**, aren't you afraid?"

  Yan Han's mouth twitched slightly as he glared at Bai Chi, then looked at Cheng Ziheng and said, "Who said I wanted to **you?"

  Cheng Zihan smiled slyly, "Then what kind of beastly thing do you want to do to me? I'm still young."

  Yan Han's eyes twitched slightly.

  "Stop wasting so much time talking to her! Get her to reveal the secret to promoting plant growth and increasing their survival rate already!"

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Old Zhu, so they came for this?

  No, it shouldn't be that simple. The hidden family has a rich foundation and will definitely not covet that little wealth. He must have other purposes.

  What a pity, his mind-reading skills were too low and he couldn't read out his thoughts.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but sigh, "Sorry, I don't read much and don't quite understand what you're saying. What's promoting plant growth? What's improving plant survival rate? What is that thing?"

  "Still pretending! It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how to behave!" Yan Han's face changed as he let out a cold hum and gave a signal with his eyes to the bodyguard beside him.

  The bodyguard sneered and walked up with a black electric baton in his hand.

  Cheng Zihan cautiously shifted her body, coldly staring at the bodyguard walking towards her, "Yan Han, if you dare to touch a single hair on me, you will die miserably!"

  Yan Han smiled indifferently, glanced at Cheng Ziheng and said, "Died very miserably? You'd better keep your life first, then talk about such big words! I'd like to see who can come and save you."

  As they spoke, the bodyguard had already arrived in front of Cheng Zihan, and the electric baton in his hand poked towards her.

  Cheng Zihan rolled his body to the left and dodged it. Just as he was about to get up, the bodyguard and the stick in his hand came again.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes were about to be unable to dodge, her heart was anxious, and she desperately struggled to break free from the rope tied to her hands. Just as it was a matter of life and death, the rope binding her hands finally broke loose. Cheng Zihan pressed her hands on the ground, rolled her body to the right, and dodged again. This time, before the opponent could react, Cheng Zihan jumped up first and pounced forward, opening her mouth and biting down on the ear of that bodyguard.

  "Ah——" The bodyguard's mournful cry sounded particularly eerie and frightening in the quiet of the night.

  Yan Han let out a cold hum, stood up, and strode over. Just as he was about to grab Cheng Zihuan, Cheng Zihuan lifted one foot and kicked his hand. Then, with a nimble body, she slid down from the bodyguard's back. Taking advantage of Yan Han being kicked away by that kick, she quickly rushed towards the door.

  But just as she arrived at the door, she suddenly furrowed her brow, let out a low hum, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move another step. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her head, and her body was no longer under her control.

  "Hmph! You still want to run?" The speaker was Chu Lao, who had just lifted up Cheng Zihang with one hand and thrown her to the ground, stepping heavily on her chest.

  "Ugh." Cheng Zihan spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with grief. Damn it, I was already flat-chested to begin with, and now you've trampled on me. If I don't develop properly in the future, just wait and see, I'll castrate every last one of your family's...

  Yan Han also came back to his senses, looking coldly at Cheng Ziheng with his head down. "Hmph, Cheng Ziheng, do you think you can escape? I have already set up a trap here, and the five old men of the Chu family are guarding it. Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you won't be able to escape from here!"

  "Ptui!" Cheng Zihan spat out a mouthful of blood onto Yan Han's face.

  Looking at Yan Han's disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Yan Han's anger reached its peak, and with one swift motion, he pulled Cheng Zihuan up and slapped her face fiercely.

  Cheng Zihan suddenly felt half of her face go numb, she hummed twice, turned her head and spat a mouthful of blood onto Yan Han's face, then coldly smiled and said: "Yan Han, my blood is very nourishing, don't waste it, I'll give you a beauty treatment! Just in time to cure your pale face, let you have some color. Hahaha..."

  Yan Han's mouth twitched violently, he hated it the most when people said he was a pretty boy, just because he looked more like a woman, and since childhood, he had not been valued by his family, now he still had to be ridiculed by this little girl Cheng Zihan.

  "Cheng Zihan, do you believe I'll slap this face of yours!" Yan Han gritted his teeth and roared.

  Cheng Zihan smiled coolly, "Alright, it just so happens that I wanted to change my face anyway."

  "You!" Yan Han's anger was frozen, his hand raised, but when he met Cheng Zihans gaze, he couldn't bring himself to put it down.

  "You want me to row? I'll row then! Just to spite you, till you're fed up!" Yan Han gritted his teeth and cursed.

  Cheng Zihan suddenly burst out laughing, "Yan Han you're really childish. What? Is it because the chrysanthemum was sealed recently and can't explode, so you're feeling melancholy and have been holding back a belly full of anger wanting to find someone to vent to?"

  Yan Han's face changed upon hearing this, how did he know that Cheng Zihans mouth was so venomous and spoke without any reserve? How could such a small girl say something like this?

  He was so angry that his face turned green, and he wished he could slap Cheng Zihang to death.

  However, the reason why the five old men of the Chu family were willing to come out and help this time was mainly because of the secret in Cheng Zihans hand. Before asking it out, they couldn't let Cheng Zihan die like this.

  Taking a few deep breaths, Yan Han finally suppressed his urge to slap Cheng Zihuan to death.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him with some disappointment, "What a pity, I thought you would slap me to death."

  Cheng Zihan can only try to delay time as much as possible, hoping that Qin Kexiu, that unreliable stupid ghost, can come and rescue herself.

  But I guess there's no hope, Qin Kexiu was originally a soul body, the five old men of Chu family seem to have the ability to control people's will, they must have special restraint on soul-like things, before Qin Kexiu said he couldn't come with us, so even if he came, it would just be one more person sending himself to death.

  As for Cheng Hai, he might also be helpless despite having a willing heart. Cheng Zihan would rather he didn't know and not come; in the past life, she had already dragged him down once, and this life, she really didn't want to drag him down again.

  "Don't worry, I'll give you this chance! However, now, humph, you don't get to die that easily!" Yan Han pushed Cheng Zihan away, looked at her coldly with his head lowered, then went back to sit in his own seat.

  Cheng Zihan sat up, crossed her legs and looked at Yan Han, "Is that so? But I think my life is quite hard to take, even the King of Hell wouldn't dare want me. I reckon someone will come to rescue me soon."

  "Save you? Cheng Zihan, don't dream on! With the five elders of the Chu family here, even a god can't save you!" Yan Han let out a cold snort, his face full of disdain.

  "Tell me, what exactly do you have in your hands that can promote plant growth! If you don't tell me, I'll peel off your skin bit by bit!" Chu Lao gave Yan Han a cold glance before walking over to Cheng Zihan and squatting down in front of her. He lifted up her chin and interrogated her with an icy tone.

  Cheng Zihan smiled coyly and said, "I don't know."

  "Respect the wine but don't drink, or you'll be punished with more wine!" Chu Lao's face changed color, and his grip on Cheng Zihan's hand tightened, his long fingernails almost digging into her skin.

  Cheng Zihan endured the pain and still looked at him stubbornly, "Old thing, don't waste your energy, I don't know! Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!"

  "Alright! Then I'll let you try, see if you can handle the skills of my family, Zhū!" Old man Zhū snorted, released his hand, clapped his palms and stood up.

  The door behind Yan Han's back was opened, and four old men with similar faces to Zhuo Lao walked in, each holding a lot of things in their hands. Upon closer inspection, they were all torture instruments.

  It seems they have done no less of such cruel torture and forced confession.

  Chu Lao looked at Cheng Zihan with a condescending expression, "Cheng Zihan, I'm giving you one last chance. Are you going to speak up or not?"

  "Alright! I'll say it, but I won't tell you. You get Yan Han over here, I want to talk to him!" Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and glared at Chu Lao, then suddenly smiled.

  She won't let others who want to harm her off easy either, especially this Yan Han!

  Yan Han's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably uneasy in his mind.

  He coldly looked at Cheng Zihan, "What trick are you up to again?"

  "Hmph, anyway I'm only telling you one person, you can not listen, or do not believe me, let me tell this dead old man, dream! Even if I die, I won't say!" Cheng Zihan hummed and turned her face away, as if she was determined to drag Yan Han down with her.

  Yan Han cursed in a low voice. Even if Cheng Zihang hadn't done anything, he knew that Cheng Zihang would definitely not be kind-hearted and estimated that he was going to be deceived again.

  Chu Lao turned around and glared at Yan Han fiercely, "Aren't you going over there yet?"

  As expected, the five old men of the Chu family and Yan Han were just using each other, with little trust between them. As long as they could be used properly, they would definitely be able to buy more time for themselves.

  No matter whether Qin Ke Xiu can find someone to rescue herself or not, at least she can have more time to think of a way to escape.

  Now, let's see if Yan Han will take the bait.

  Yan Han's heart was filled with resentment, but he was forced by Chu Lao to get up and go over to stand in front of Cheng Zihuan, squatting down and gritting his teeth as he threatened, "Cheng Zihuan, you'd better not try any tricks! Otherwise, I won't let you off! And neither will I let your family members off, not a single one!"

  Cheng Zihan's face changed slightly, and she looked at Yan Han coldly. She smiled softly and leaned in close to his ear, whispering, "Yan Han, I hate it the most when people use my family to threaten me. You... go die for me!"

  After finishing speaking, Cheng Zihan sat up straight again, looking at Yan Han with a charming smile.

  Yan Han's mouth twitched violently as he glared at Cheng Zihuan, shouting, "Cheng Zihuan, are you going to say it or not?"

  Cheng Zihan continued to smile, smiling so charmingly and harmlessly that it was almost as if she was a different person. "Yan Gongzi, what else do you want me to say? I've already told you everything. Are you surprised by this secret and don't want to tell the five elders of the Chu family, wanting to keep it all to yourself?"

  Yan Han was furious as soon as he heard Cheng Zihan's words, and he knew he had been set up. He stood up abruptly and kicked his foot towards Cheng Zihan.

  His foot had not yet kicked Chen Zihan's body, and he heard Chen Zihan speak again, "What? Is Young Master Yan so angry that he wants to kill me to silence me?"

  Yan Han's feet suddenly stopped in their tracks. If he had taken this step, it would have been impossible to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

  He took a deep breath and hastily turned around to look at Chu Lao, "Chu Lao, don't believe what this dead girl says, she wants to drive us apart!"

  "Yan Han, don't think you can just silence me with blood! My life is now in your hands, what benefit would I get from deceiving you? Am I seeking death myself? This life of mine is precious, and I want to live it well! It's clear that you're the one who wants to monopolize everything! As soon as I die, this secret will be known only to you, and at that time, the five elders of the Chu family will be afraid to take action against you due to the influence of your Yan family. You'll be able to reap the benefits!" Cheng Zi Han stared at Yan Han, her voice filled with accusation.

  Looking at her furious face, it seems like she's telling the truth, without a single lie. This lie is so convincing that even she herself has been deceived, and it's really the highest level of lying.

  As expected, Chu Lao's expression changed after hearing Cheng Zihan's words. He looked at Yan Han coldly and said, "What she says makes sense. Why should we believe you?"

  Yan Han was almost driven mad by these old men. How could there be such stupid old men in this world?

  It's no wonder, now that Cheng Zihan's life is in their hands. In their opinion, there's no need for Cheng Zihan to lie at this time. If the secret wasn't so valuable and precious, they wouldn't have come out to cooperate with Yan Han, tied up Cheng Zihan and forced him to confess. It's entirely possible that Yan Han would want to monopolize it!

  "Don't listen to her! I'm in the same boat as you, how can I possibly cheat you? Think about it carefully, what benefit would I get from cheating you? You're all so clever and wise, how could you be easily fooled? This little girl is clearly trying to sow discord among us, she's just looking for an opportunity to slip away, don't let her deceive you!" Yan Han explained hastily.

  Chu Lao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he lowered his head to look at Cheng Zihan, then looked at Yan Han, as if comparing the two to see who was more trustworthy.

  Cheng Zihan is now under their control and it's impossible for her to escape. In this small place, no one can be a match for the five of them. At this critical moment, would she still dare to play tricks and not behave herself?

  Yan Han's words also seem to make some sense.

  "Old Chu, Old Chu, this little girl may be young in years, but she's full of cunning and has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Don't be deceived by her appearance! She must be planning to slip away quietly while we're busy fighting among ourselves. She's got a lot of wicked ideas, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have had to come out to deal with her!" Yan Han saw that Old Chu was wavering and knew he had already begun to suspect Cheng Zihuan, so he quickly pressed his advantage.

  Cheng Zihan gave Yan Han a cold glance, "If you don't believe me, Master Chu, then so be it."

  "Chu Lao, don't believe her! If she really wanted to say something, why would she only tell me alone? She must be trying to drive a wedge between us!" Yan Han kicked Cheng Zihang and then came over to fawn on Chu Lao.

  Chu Lao's face still looked somewhat skeptical, Yan Han gritted his teeth and hastily said, "Chu Lao, if you don't believe me, you can use the Soul Search Technique on me. If I'm lying, you'll definitely discover it. On the other hand, if she's the one who's lying, you'll also be able to see through it!"

  When she heard the three words "Soul Searching Technique", Cheng Zihan's heart clearly skipped a beat.

  She had heard of the Soul Search Technique, which was mentioned by Han Yi when he introduced her to the Yin family. The Soul Search Technique is a forbidden technique of the Chu family, and in general, people from the Chu family would not use such a vicious forbidden technique. This is because the Soul Search Technique not only causes great harm to the person being searched, but also has a great impact on the user.

  Once misused, the person being searched will either have their soul escape or die directly with their soul and spirit scattering. As for the user, if they suffer a backlash, their fate will also be extremely miserable!

  Even if it's someone from the Chu family, they wouldn't dare use this forbidden technique unless absolutely necessary.

  Yan Han's reason for making such a request was that he had no other choice. He was counting on Chu Lao not daring to use the Soul Searching Technique, and even if he did, since Cheng Zihuan was younger, she would be more likely to get into trouble than him.

  Cheng Zihan's heart sank, if the Soul Searching Technique was really used, all her secrets would be exposed! At that time, not only would her own life be in danger, but even Cheng Haili and Lan would also be at risk of losing their lives!

  Chu Lao's face also changed when he heard about the Soul Searching Technique.

  Yan Han took advantage of the situation and said hastily: "Chu Lao, you believe me! I'm not even afraid of soul searching, which proves that I didn't lie!"

  Chu Lao nodded, "What you said makes sense. It seems that this little girl is not willing to give in and will have to be taught a lesson! Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, show her some color!"

  Cheng Zihan's face changed upon hearing this, she didn't expect these old things to be so clever and not fall for it. This Yan Han was really too cunning! He actually managed to deceive them like this.

  "Yes!" The four old men behind Old Chu, namely Second Old Man Chu, Third Old Man Chu, Fourth Old Man Chu and Fifth Old Man Chu, responded in unison, then took a step forward with the things in their hands.

  Chu Lao Er and Chu Lao San put down the things in their hands, stretched out to grab Cheng Zi Han's shoulders, and lifted her up. Laosi took a clip stick over and clamped Cheng Zi Han's fingers with it, pulling hard.

  Cheng Zihan's painful tears flowed freely, but she bit her teeth tightly and refused to make a sound.

  Lao Wu picked up a long needle beside him and was about to stab it into Cheng Zihans fingertips.

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and stared at Chu Lao Wu, thinking that this time she would probably be in trouble, but she was really unwilling to accept it!

  As she watched the needle getting closer and closer, Cheng Zihan simply closed her eyes and gave up resisting.

  Just at this critical moment, a loud crash was heard and the door was kicked open with great force.

  Cheng Zihan looked towards the direction of the door in surprise, under the dim light, the figure there seemed to be dazzling like a spotlight, and his whole body was emitting a brilliance that made people unable to open their eyes. Especially what made people feel afraid to look directly at him was the terrifying aura emanating from his body.

  He was like a malevolent spirit from hell, his entire body exuding an icy and bone-chilling murderous intent that made even the coldest of bones ache.

  When she saw this person, Cheng Zihan suddenly felt relieved, her whole body went limp and she slumped to the ground.

  At least she knew that she was saved today.

  "Whoever dares to hurt her will die!" The icy voice came out of the man's mouth, and he took a step forward. Yan Han and the others felt as if they had been choked by an invisible hand, and they didn't even dare to think about resisting.

  "You, you, you..." Yan Han couldn't believe his eyes. The person in front of him, wasn't he that dead pervert from the Han family? How could he appear here?

  Han's family is a freak that makes everyone in the capital city change color, because of his strange skills, which are simply beyond human reach.

  The Chu family's five elders also had their reservations, as they were ranked lower in the hidden world of families. Moreover, they had secretly left their family without permission. As for Han Jincheng, apart from being a member of the Han family, his backing was not simple either. Compared to them, the Chu family had nothing to gain and everything to lose if they offended him.

  It seems that for now, I can only temporarily leave and go back to inform the homeowner of the situation, then have the homeowner arrange someone to come over and deal with Cheng Zihan.

  Chu Lao Da gave a signal to the other four, who all understood and put away their things, quickly standing up. Although they were unwilling to give up, they had no choice but to do so due to Han Jin Chen's absolute strength and his powerful backing.

  A smoke bomb was thrown out, and when the thick smoke dispersed, only Cheng Zihan, Yan Han, and Han Jincheng were left in the large room.

  Han Jinchen strode over, helped Cheng Zihuan up, and carefully examined her. When he saw her swollen fingers, a fierce killing intent suddenly burst out from his body, scaring Yan Han who was just about to make a run for it, causing him to freeze in his tracks.

  "Who did it?" Han Jingchen's voice was extremely cold, as if from the ninth underworld, and even Cheng Zihuan couldn't help but shiver violently.

  She raised her chin and looked at Yan Han standing by the door.

  Yan Han has always been a scourge, keeping him in the beginning was his own soft-heartedness, he should have gotten rid of him long ago!

  The five old men of the Chu family have escaped, and it's certain that people from the Chu family will come to make trouble again. With their special abilities, I'm afraid the days ahead will be quite exciting.

  However, before dealing with the Chu family, let's get rid of Yan Han first.

  Han Jingchen followed Cheng Zihan's gaze and looked at Yan Han behind him.

  Yan Han's legs went soft, almost kneeling on the ground. Seeing Han Jingchen looking at him, he couldn't help but defend himself, "Han, Han, Uncle Han, you mustn't listen to this little girl's nonsense. I, it wasn't me, really not me, it was those old guys from the Chu family."

  Yan Han desperately shook his head and waved his hands, trying to clear himself of any involvement.

  Han Jingchen let Cheng Zihan sit down on a chair beside him before walking towards Yan Han.

  Swallowing cold legs went soft, directly kneeling down on the ground.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him coldly and didn't say a word to stop him.

  Han Jinchen stepped forward, lowering his head to look at Yan Han, "Which hand of yours was injured by her?"

  Swallowing cold sweat constantly falling down, his lips were trembling, he looked at Han Jingchen in horror.

  Han Jincheng is not only the pervert of the Han family, but also a pervert that everyone in the capital avoids as much as possible. As soon as someone mentions Han Jincheng, no one can remain calm, even his older brother Yan Qi has to be cautious when hearing this name.

  It's not just because of his ability, but more because of his ruthless and merciless methods.

  Anyone who offends him will be made to know what it means to live a life worse than death.

  "No, no, no... I, I, I..." Yan Han's body kept retreating, stuttering and unable to say a complete sentence, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Han Jincheng.

  "Shut up, or it's your hands next." Han Jinchen's eyes flashed coldly as he bent down and grabbed Yan Han's hands. A cracking sound was heard, followed by a chilling scream that sent shivers down one's spine, and then came the terrifying pig-like squeals from Yan Han.

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow, unable to bear watching any longer.

  Han Jingchen directly twisted Yan Han's hands into a twist, and then reached out to pinch his chin. With just a slight force, Yan Han's chin was dislocated.

  "Ah——" His chin was unloaded, and Yan Han's cry did indeed weaken a lot.

  Han Jingchen's movements were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had twisted off Yan Han's hands and feet, rendering him a limp, paralyzed mess on the ground. His gaze remained icy cold as he looked at Yan Han.

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath in reverse, finally understanding why everyone was afraid of Han Jincheng.

  Because he is indeed ruthless and venomous.

  The five old men of the Chu family have left, but they didn't take away the torture instruments they brought.

  Han Jingchen dragged Yan Han away like a dead dog, and those torture instruments were used on Yan Han one by one.

  Cheng Zihan had already closed her eyes, it was too bloody and violent, she couldn't bear to continue watching, but the sound of Yan Han's terrifying pig killing still lingered in her ears.

  "It's so noisy." The noise was giving Cheng Zihuan a headache, and she couldn't help but mutter.

  Han Jingchen's ears were sharp, and although Cheng Zihan's voice was very soft, he still heard it. He let go of his hands, lowered his head, and gave Yan Han a cold look, menacingly threatening, "Call out one more time, and I'll pluck out your tongue!"

  "Uuuuh..." Yan Han let out a stifled sob, but didn't dare continue wailing. He bit his teeth hard, suppressing the moans that were about to escape his lips.

  Han Jingchen had now returned to the front of Cheng Zihan, his hands seemingly unsure where to place them, that tense and cautious appearance made Yan Han, who had just been tortured, involuntarily click his tongue.

  "Scared you?" Han Jingchen looked at Cheng Zihan and asked somewhat awkwardly.

  Cheng Zihan shook her head and looked at Han Jincheng strangely, "How did you get here?"

  "Ah, I just happened to be passing by." Han Jinchen came up with a very poor excuse.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched slightly as she glanced silently at Han Jincheng, "Let's go, this place makes me feel really uncomfortable."

  Han Jingchen nodded, then reached out to pick up Cheng Zihan. For some reason, Cheng Zihan had a misconception that when Han Jingchen was holding her, he seemed to be looking through her and hugging someone else. The focused and deep gaze made the doubts in Cheng Zihan's heart expand further.

  Han Jingchen carried Cheng Zihan out of the underground secret room, finally returning to the outside, breathing in the fresh and free air, Cheng Zihan felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

  Han Jingchen turned his head and gave a cold glance at the house behind him. The house suddenly made a loud noise, then collapsed.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, and Han Jincheng's gaze was really too terrifying. Fortunately, she hadn't offended him.

  Han Jingchen sent Cheng Ziheng to the hospital. Fortunately, her injury was not serious and did not hurt any muscles or bones. After simple treatment, she was fine.

  Han Jingchen's face still looked terrible, he didn't dare imagine what would happen if he was late by one step today, how Cheng Zihan would be.

  Taking a deep breath, Han Jinchen looked at Cheng Zihan and asked, "Do you want to become stronger?"

  Cheng Zihan stared blankly for a moment, looked at Han Jincheng, thought of today's experience, and nodded vigorously without any hesitation.

  "When your injury heals, I'll take you away." Han Jinchen seemed very satisfied with Cheng Zihans reaction, and after a deep look at her, he stood up.

  "Zi Han, Zi Han." At this time, the door was pushed open and Cheng Hai and Li Lan rushed in with worried faces. Following them in was also Qin Ke Xiu.

  Cheng Hai hastily ran to the front of Cheng Zihan and nodded slightly when he saw Han Jincheng.

  "Zi Han, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Cheng Hai lifted up Cheng Zi Han's hand and examined it carefully, seeing the white gauze wrapped around her slender fingers, his heart felt like it was being torn apart in pain.

  Cheng Zihan is not his biological daughter, but after all, she was raised for eight years. At the beginning, Shen Yihan suddenly appeared in her own home, with an eight-month pregnancy in her belly, just like Li Lan's child in her womb.

  That year, two women were in labor at the same time. As a result, Li Lan's child could not be saved due to a difficult delivery, while Shen Yihan's child was born but she couldn't take it away for some reason. In the end, they had no choice but to entrust their child to this family to raise.

  In these years, he has already regarded Cheng Zihang as his own child. Seeing one's own child get hurt, how can parents not feel heartache?

  Cheng Zihan shook her head. When she saw her parents, she felt extremely at ease, but the feeling of wanting to work hard and become stronger grew even more intense.

  Today's events made her realize that she was really too weak, to the point where even the five old men of the Chu family could bully and coerce her. This kind of situation where she needed others to rescue her would absolutely never happen again!

  "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." Cheng Zihan said with a smile, comforting Cheng Hai.

  Cheng Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and glanced at Han Jinchen, "Thank you for saving Zi Han."

  Han Jingchen turned his face away and didn't say a word.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan getting along so well with Cheng Hai, he actually felt a twinge of jealousy.

  This girl who should have called him dad, this is the crystallization of her and Yihuan's love, such a sweet smile, should also be opened to him, eight years have passed, he has already missed eight years, in the future, he absolutely cannot continue to let her wander alone outside, being bullied by others!

  She is Han Zhong's daughter, how can she be weak? How can she let others bully her?

  Those five old men of the Zhu family, what they did to Cheng Zihang today, he will definitely come back for it!

  "In a few days, I'll take Zihan away." Because of Han Jincheng's silence, the atmosphere in the ward became very strange. Cheng Hai and Li Lan didn't dare to speak either, so they quietly looked at Han Jincheng.

  Cheng Zihan also looked at this atmosphere-destroying guy with a puzzled face, just about to speak up when Han Jincheng spoke first.

  Cheng Hai was taken aback, hastily stood up, wanting to go over and pull Han Jingchen's hand, but thinking about it again, he gave up, just standing in front of him, opening his mouth with some urgency: "Mr. Han, Mr. Han, you can't do this, you can't take away Zi Han, I..."

  Cheng Hai was somewhat anxious and couldn't speak clearly.

  Han Jingchen raised an eyebrow and gave Cheng Hai a faint glance. The words that had reached the tip of Cheng Hai's tongue were suddenly swallowed back.

  Cheng Zihan frowned in dissatisfaction, looking at Han Jingchen, "Hey, Han Jingchen, can't you not treat my dad like that? Be careful or I'll hit you!"

  Han Jingchen's mouth twitched, but he was very envious in his heart. He glanced at Cheng Zihang lightly and nodded slightly, responding softly, "En."

  For this man who cherishes every word, Cheng Zihuan has completely lost his words.

  Cheng Hai looked at the interaction between Cheng Zihan and Han Jincheng, feeling a bit strange in his heart.

  "Mr. Han?" Cheng Hai called out tentatively.

  Han Jingchen glanced at Cheng Hai with a faint gaze, without saying a word, but the meaning in his eyes was already very clear.

  Cheng Hai didn't know what Han Jingchen wanted to do either, but judging from his attitude, it seemed that he still didn't plan on acknowledging Cheng Zihan.

  Although he didn't know what was on his mind, Cheng Hai at least let out a sigh of relief.

  "When Ye Tonghan's injury heals, I'll come to take her away. Don't worry, when school starts in September, I'll send her back." Han Jincheng glanced at Cheng Hai, speaking more words than he ever had before, and after finishing, he turned around and left.

  Cheng Zihan made a face at his back, then coquettishly pouted at Cheng Hai again.

  This matter passed like this, the food factory in the city center where Yan Han was collapsed overnight, and when the police found it the next day, they only found Yan Han's body in the ruins, with all his limbs broken and died a terrible death.

  Outside the city of Wang, the five old men of the Chu family stood facing the sun, looking in the direction of the plantation. The face of Old Man Chu was gloomier than ever, his teeth clenched and grinding with a cracking sound.

  The four old men behind him also looked quite ugly.

  "I won't let this matter drop like this!" Chu Lao Da said gritting his teeth.

  "Big brother, what should we do?" Chu Lao Er hastily came up and asked.

  Chu Lao Da gave him a cold look and said, "First go back and tell the master of the house about this matter. Wait for the master's decision!"

  "But is it just going to end like this?" Chu Lao San was somewhat unwilling to accept.

  "Nonsense! Can you beat that freak from the Han family? Even if the master comes, he has to be wary of him. Now that he's here, do you dare to make a move? And this little girl from the Cheng family somehow got involved with this freak and even got his help this time! It seems we can't continue to lay hands on her for now! Let's go back and report to the master and see how he arranges things." Chu Lao Da glared at Chu Lao San, scolding him viciously.

  Chu Lao San wisely shut his mouth.

  "Big brother, but Han Zhanchen's background is not small, do we really want to oppose him? What is it that makes us want to do so?" Chu Lao Si was somewhat puzzled.

  "Hmm, I found that the flower seedlings from Yan Han had an unprecedented high cell activity! That means, the environment in which these seedlings were cultivated must be special! Not only can it promote plant growth, making plants grow overnight, but it can also greatly improve the survival rate of plants! More importantly, this thing contains rich vitality, which can delay aging! We are all people who have lived for a hundred years, and the master is no exception. What do you think we need most?" Chu Lao Da looked at Chu Lao Si with a cold gaze and asked.

  "Long life and eternal youth!" The four old men of the Chu family replied in unison.

  Now they finally understand why Chu Lao Da was willing to risk offending Han Jin Chen and the forces behind him to find trouble with Cheng Zi Han. It turns out that Cheng Zi Han's hands actually have something that can make people live forever!

  "What shall we do now?" asked the four old men in unison.

  Chu Lao Da coldly laughed and said, "Now immediately return to the Chu residence and report this matter to the master of the house."

  The five black shadows gradually went away and finally disappeared under the sunlight.

  Cheng Zihan's injury was not serious, so after resting for three days, she had already recovered.

  As soon as he returned to the plantation, he saw Han Jingchen sitting there with a cold face waiting for him. He seemed to be waiting for Cheng Zihuan to come and catch people.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched slightly, but she still walked over obediently and stood upright in front of Han Jincheng.

  "Back?" Han Jinchen raised an eyebrow and asked lightly.

  "En." Cheng Zihan nodded honestly.

  "Let's go." Han Jinchen stood up, patted his clothes, and walked ahead.

  Cheng Zihan thought Han Junchen was going to take her somewhere, but instead, she found that Han Junchen had brought her back to the Han's house.

  When she saw the big gate of Han's house, she still felt like she was dreaming.

  Is there still something unknown hidden in the Han family that can be cultivated?

  But thinking about those abnormal skills on Han Jingchen's body, it's likely that they really exist.

  Han Zhanchen pulled Cheng Zihans hand and walked into the Han family in big strides, not going to any courtyard, but turning around in circles, without knowing how many gardens they had passed through, and how many corridors they had gone through, before finally arriving at a small hill.

  At the foot of Xiaoyue Mountain, a one-meter-high stone had two words "Forbidden Land" written on it. However, the surroundings were very quiet, and there was not even a hint of wind. Cheng Zihan really couldn't see what was special about this place.

  Han Jingchen had already stopped and didn't intend to move forward, it seemed that the place for his future training was here.

  Cheng Zihan looked puzzled and turned to Han Jincheng, but he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining.

  "The people of the Zhu family are best at controlling people's actions through their minds, making them lose their ability to act, and can even put someone to sleep. Your willpower is too weak, so you can't withstand their attacks. So, your top priority now is to increase your willpower. Start climbing the mountain now and see how long you can last before coming down." Han Jinchen said coldly to Cheng Zihan, his expressionless face making him seem like a statue rather than a person.

  Cheng Zihan was puzzled in her heart. This small mountain didn't seem to have anything special about it, yet it could actually temper one's willpower?

  She took a step forward with a skeptical attitude, and as soon as her foot stepped into the mountain foot, a terrible sound wave suddenly entered her mind, shocking her to retreat several steps in a row, and her chest was surging with gas.

  Han Jingchen's face changed slightly, and he looked coldly at Cheng Zihuan, "Too weak, can't even last a second, continue!"

  Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and continued forward, but for over a dozen times in a row, she still couldn't hold on for even one second before being shaken out.

  "Too weak!"

  "Too weak!"

  "It's still too weak!"

  "How can you protect the people you care about when you're so weak?"

  Han Jinchen struck mercilessly at Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth tightly, fresh blood oozing out from between them. She refused to give up and continued forward, only to be sent flying again, time and time again.

  Finally, after her repeated attempts, from initially being unable to hold on for a second, she progressed to holding on for one second, two seconds, three seconds, ten seconds.

  But by the tenth second, she couldn't hold on anymore and was blown away tens of meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  "Alright! That's it for today!" Han Jinchen couldn't take it anymore, coldly shouted and turned to leave.

  Cheng Zihan covered her chest, panting heavily, staring at Han Jincheng's back. Just now, she seemed to have seen disappointment and a hint of heartache in his eyes?

  Isn't it because you're hurt too badly, so you're having hallucinations?

  Cheng Zihan shook her head bitterly and followed Han Jincheng out of the eerie mountain with heavy footsteps.

  After resting for a night, Cheng Zihan found that although he seemed to have suffered severe injuries, after just one night of rest, those injuries had almost recovered, but more was just a kind of fatigue from the depths of his soul.

  The next day, before dawn broke, Han Jingchen was already knocking on the door.

  Cheng Zihan clung to her quilt, determined to sleep in, but before long, the door panel separated from the frame and flew heavily into the room, falling to the ground with a loud crash.

  Cheng Zihan hugged the quilt, sat up from the bed, looked towards the door, and saw that man in black clothes, who was emitting a cold aura all over his body, standing at the door with an iron face.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, and he reluctantly got out of bed. He glanced at the alarm clock beside him, and his mouth twitched again - it was only 4:30! Uncle Han, do you dare to make me get up any earlier?

  Cheng Zihan's heart was like a million galloping horses, and with tears streaming down her face, she left the bed where she had wanted to cling to death.

  Washing up and having breakfast was almost a single breath, ten minutes settled everything, and then being dragged by Han Jincheng to the back mountain forbidden area, starting day after day of willpower training.

  However, Cheng Zihan has now roughly understood why the mountain emits this magical sound. It is because the mountain's geographical location is special, with winds blowing constantly throughout the year. The wind blows from all directions and combines with the mountain's unique material composition, resulting in the continuous production of the magical sound here.

  However, one must enter the range of this mountain in order to hear that strange magical sound.

  This is a tedious yet endurance-testing repetitive training, where the material advances once and again, only to be bounced back repeatedly, then continues to advance, continues to be bounced back, repeating in such a monotonous way.

  Despite this, after several days of training, Cheng Zihan clearly found that her willpower seemed to have improved a lot, and estimated that it was being destroyed by the devil's sound more, so she felt that her hearing perception ability had also increased a lot, which was an unexpected gain.

  The twenty-day devil training finally ended, but Cheng Zihan didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue. On the contrary, she looked spirited and full of energy. If you took a closer look at her eyes, you would discover that in her dark pupils, there was an unusual attractive force, like a whirlpool, drawing you in, making you unable to extricate yourself.

  Up to now, the devilish sound of Hou Shan's forbidden land no longer poses any threat to Cheng Zihan, but Han Jincheng has never allowed her to continue climbing and only trains at the foot of the mountain. Now Cheng Zihan can already stand for one or two hours at the foot of the mountain without any problems.

  Cheng Zihan had a slightly smug look on her face, turned around to look at Han Jingchen, and smiled mischievously. Just as she was about to take another step forward, she felt like a kite being blown away by the wind, and her entire body flew out.

  Han Jinchen hastily stepped forward and stretched out his hand to catch her.

  Cheng Zihan was shocked, how could this be? But it was just one step away, how did the difference become so great?

  She looked at Han Jingchen with an inexplicable gaze, "You're still too weak, so you can only wander around the foot of the mountain. If you want to continue forward, it's still far from enough. Keep working hard slowly."

  Cheng Zihan burst into tears upon hearing this. What's with the tone of adults educating kids? Can't you not use that paternalistic attitude?!

  However, Jinghuan also understood that Han Zhichen's words were not wrong. Although she had made significant progress, she was still too weak. If she wanted to continue advancing, she would need to continue practicing for a while longer.

  "It's about time, I'll send you back to Wang City." Looking at Cheng Zihan's face, Han Jincheng suddenly found it a bit amusing, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint arc.

  Cheng Zihan was stunned in an instant.

  For so many days, she had never seen this man smile. His face seemed to be carved out, and would never have any expression. Although now his mouth was only slightly raised, it was enough to shock Cheng Zihuan.

  "You really should smile more often, you look so handsome when you do." Cheng Zihan said, unable to help but purse her lips.

  Han Jingchen was taken aback, looked down at Cheng Zihan with a glance, and subconsciously reached out to touch his own face.

  And with a loosening of his hand, Cheng Zihang was doing a free fall, thudding to the ground with a loud crash, leaving her teeth clenched in pain.

  "He's gone." Han Jingchen realized his own loss of composure, his face had already returned to calmness, turned around and walked out directly.

  Cheng Zihan rubbed her butt and stood up, following Han Jincheng out.

  The plane landed at South City Airport four hours later.

  Han Jingchen and Cheng Zihan got off the plane. Since no one was notified to pick them up, including Cheng Hai, they took a taxi back to Wangcheng after getting off the plane.

  Back in Wangcheng, it was already 8 o'clock at night, and the two of them first returned to the plantation.

  Most people in the plantation have finished work and gone home, with only a few security guards still patrolling.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan coming back, they hurriedly walked over and excitedly called out: "Young Miss, Young Miss, you're back!"

  Cheng Zihan nodded at them, "Yes, I'm back. Have you guys been slacking off and not working?"

  "There's no one." Everyone was delighted, and the voices of several security guards also attracted others. Many employees who stayed in the plantation came out one after another, and when they saw Cheng Zihan, they all smiled brightly.

  Cheng Zihan chatted with everyone for a while. Because of the long journey, she was also very tired, so she went to rest in the staff dormitory.

  It's almost September and Cheng Zihan should also go to school for registration.

  Cheng Hai also rushed over early in the morning after receiving the news and saw Cheng Zihan feeling relieved.

  This period of training has made Cheng Zihang look more spirited and healthier.

  The family naturally gathered together and chatted for a few words, but because Cheng Zihang was about to rush back to school, they didn't say too much.

  After having breakfast, Cheng Hai accompanied Cheng Zihan to Wangcheng Middle School.

  Today is the first day of school, so many students are rushing to the school gate, wearing brand new clothes and carrying brand new backpacks, looking spirited and full of energy.

  Cheng Zihan is particularly prominent among this crowd.

  Many people looked at her with curiosity.

  Cheng Zihan was calm and collected, because she had just arrived at school for registration today and didn't know which class she was assigned to. When she reached the school gate, there was a big red paper on the gate with the list of students in each class of Grade 1.

  Cheng Zihan casually glanced at it and finally saw her name on the list of students in Class 11.

  Class Eleven is probably the lowest ranked class.

  Fortunately, in the first year of junior high school, there is no distinction between fast and slow classes, and I estimate that the students' situations are similar in each class.

  Cheng Zihan finished looking at her own class and walked directly in the direction she had found.

  Before coming to the exam, she had already checked the location of each class.

  The first and second grades are in the same building. The first and second floors are all students of the first grade, and class 11 is located at the innermost position on the second floor.

  Cheng Zihan went upstairs and turned right, heading towards Class Eleven's location.

  Along the way, you can still see a lot of new life, most of which are familiar, so along the way, they can be seen waving to each other.

  Cheng Zihan alone seemed a bit lonely.

  She had just stepped into the classroom when a piece of chalk came flying straight at her, barely missing her face.

  Cheng Zihan tilted her head slightly and dodged away.

  Chalk, books, brooms and all sorts of things came flying at Cheng Zihang.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, what a particularly warm welcome, is this the legendary ultimate class? Don't even welcome new students?

  Cheng Zihan quickly retreated and pulled the door shut, a series of banging sounds erupted, followed by a burst of laughter from inside.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched again, and she stood silently at the door, waiting for the voices inside to weaken before pushing it open once more.

  This time she was mentally prepared, as soon as she entered the door, a bottle of mineral water flew towards her. Cheng Zihang kicked one foot on the door frame and flew up into the air, kicking out with one foot, the bottle of mineral water flew back along its original trajectory and slammed heavily onto the face of its original owner.

  Cheng Zihan stood firm again, patted her own pants, looked down at the trash on the ground, then squatted down, picked up a pink chalk, snapped her fingers, and the chalk flew out, heavily hitting someone's face. Then she continued to pick up things from the ground, throwing them out one by one, each time successfully hitting someone.

  She finally stood up, clapped her hands and smiled: "Thank you for your warm welcome. Let me introduce myself, my name is Cheng Zihan. I'm not a special person, if you treat me well, I'll treat you well, but if you don't treat me well, be careful because I'll treat you even worse. In the future, such welcomes are probably unnecessary, as returning gifts with my hands will also get very tired."

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking, her cold gaze swept over the stunned crowd, then walked to the empty position, looked at the chair to confirm that there were no traps, and sat down with a plop.

  The people around saw that when Cheng Zihan sat down, the expressions on their faces were a bit strange, their mouths slightly open, as if they wanted to say something, but didn't dare to speak out.

  The bell rang soon, the teacher walked into the classroom door, casually swept over the faces of the crowd in the classroom, when he saw Cheng Zihan, he was obviously stunned, then looked down at the student roster in his hand, and then recovered calmly.

  "Please everyone return to your seats and sit properly. You, the new student, your seat is over there." The teacher kindly pointed to the empty seat by the wall.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at him lightly, without any intention of moving, and simply looked at the teacher, saying, "I just like it here."

  The teacher seemed a bit embarrassed, but since Cheng Zihan really didn't want to move, and that person wouldn't be coming back for a while either, she let it go.

  The teacher opened the book and looked at the students in the classroom, seemingly also with a helpless expression. "This year I am still your class teacher, but next year I hope not to see you again."

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, it seems that everyone in this class is a repeater, and it looks like they've been repeating for quite some time.

  Wangcheng Middle School is not a very good school, but it's the only one in Wangcheng and its surrounding areas. All the students around here are concentrated here, of course, all kinds of people are here too.

  These look like they're not from an ordinary family's children, probably either rich second generation or official second generation.

  Cheng Zihan didn't care who they were, anyway she just came to muddle along, probably because she was a skip-level student and young, so the people in school naturally grouped her with this group of people. Now, in Wangcheng, who doesn't know Cheng Zihan?

  Cheng Zihan is synonymous with nouveau riche, and I guess in the eyes of her teachers at school, she's no different from these rich kids.

  Cheng Zihan sat with her legs crossed, feeling quite comfortable.

  The tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open by someone, and the door panel swung back and forth due to inertia. Cheng Zihang looked up towards the doorway, where a boy who appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen years old stood. He had a head of hair that was dyed in four different colors - red, blue, yellow, and green - and wore earrings that sparkled brightly in the sunlight. A cigarette dangled from his mouth, and he had a backpack slung carelessly over his shoulder. He wore a white dress shirt, a black leather jacket, tight-fitting black pants, and a pair of military boots that seemed particularly eye-catching.

  As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on Cheng Zihan's body, and then walked straight towards her.

  "Bang." The boy's backpack heavily slapped on the desk in front of Cheng Zihan, he lowered his head and coldly stared at Cheng Zihan, arrogantly saying: "You, get out of my way!"

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow at him, "What makes you think so?"

  "This is my spot!" The boy seemed as if he had never been disobeyed before and instantly got angry.

  Cheng Zihan sneered, "What? Is this chair and table written with your name on it? Why should I let you have it just because you say it's yours? I won't let you!"

  The boy raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to let me through?"

  Cheng Zihan faintly met his gaze, "No."

  The two people got stuck like this.

  The teacher stood by and silently wiped away a cold sweat.

  "Hey, Qin Kexiu, why don't you switch seats?" The teacher said, wiping away cold sweat as he spoke to the boy with the five-colored hair.

  Cheng Zihan heard this and widened her eyes in surprise.

  What? The guy in front of me is called Qin Kexiu?

  Isn't it? If you don't look at that five-color-six-color hair and those facial features, aren't they exactly the same as Qin Kexiu's?

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, and she never thought that after being reborn, she would have the opportunity to be in the same class as Qin Kexiu again!
