School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 615 - 617: Ulterior Motives

Once a rotten egg cracks, countless flies swarm to it.

Now, Qin Xiaotian, the rotten egg, had cracked, and voices of condemnation followed. Many people began to dig up mistakes Qin Xiaotian had made in the past, such as bullying this girl, insulting that girl, and even making someone have an abortion for him.

Incidents like these were numerous. Although some were true, most were false. Some people, for the sake of attracting attention, intentionally fabricated messy stories.

As the saying goes, when everyone pushes, the wall falls, and Qin Xiaotian had become that wall, soon to be toppled.

Bang...

Qin Xiaotian smashed a cup in his hand furiously. He roared with a curse, "Fuck, this bunch of bandwagon assholes, who is spreading the rumors!"

Looking at the Photoshopped images online, Qin Xiaotian was nearly exploding with rage, wishing he could kill the rumor-monger. Especially the post where he was kneeling and calling Xiao Han ’Grandpa’ had sparked over a thousand comments; the worst thing was that surrounding schools were spreading the post on their forums, plummeting Qin Xiaotian’s reputation. It seemed unlikely he would ever recover from this.

At this thought, Qin Xiaotian was seething with rage.

Although Qin Xiaotian wanted to rectify these rumors, he found himself willing but powerless. If he forcefully deleted that post, others might suspect he had a guilty conscience. Moreover, the situation had almost become an established fact. Plus, the screenshots of his post had been preserved; whether or not he called Xiao Han ’grandpa’ truthfully, it had become accepted as truth.

A fire raged in Qin Xiaotian’s belly, and he was extremely annoyed. He wished he could kill the perpetrator right then and there. Kill the rumor-spreader.

Qin Xiaotian hesitated for a long time before making a phone call.

The call from Qin Xiaotian went to Hei Tie.

Hei Tie was also furious lately, having been tricked left and right, losing a lot of his territory. Almost all of his turf from Ye Shisan had been lost. Hei Tie’s power and territory were no longer what they used to be.

"Second Young Master Qin, what do you need?" Hei Tie asked coldly.

"Hei Tie, I need your help!" Qin Xiaotian said through gritted teeth.

"Oh?" Hei Tie was startled, then asked, "What do you need my help with?"

"I want you to teach someone a lesson for me!" Qin Xiaotian said angrily.

"Who?" Hei Tie asked curiously, figuring the person Qin Xiaotian personally phoned about couldn’t be a simple character.

"A student from Shuimu University!" Qin Xiaotian said through clenched teeth.

"Ah?" Hei Tie was surprised, wondering what was going on recently as everyone seemed to have issues with students from Shuimu University. He, too, was after a student from Shuimu University, Xiao Han. Frowning, Hei Tie said, "Don’t tell me... you also want to deal with Xiao Han?"

"Yeah!" Qin Xiaotian nodded and said, "Hei Tie, are there others who want to deal with Xiao Han too?"

"Hehe, there are many," Hei Tie chuckled and said, "Zhang Dakai also sent a message through someone asking me to teach Xiao Han a lesson."

"This is good," Qin Xiaotian took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, we must teach this kid a good lesson. Hei Tie, with your ability, dealing with Xiao Han shouldn’t be a problem."

"****" When Hei Tie heard this, he said, "Don’t even mention it, with my strength, I really can’t take him down."

"Why?" Qin Xiaotian frowned.

"Because it was this kid who defeated me," Hei Tie took a deep breath and then cursed, "Damn his freaking grandfather, it’s because of him that I’ve suffered massive losses these past few times!"

"What?!" Qin Xiaotian was shocked and said, "This... what do we do now?"

"Hehe, don’t worry," Hei Tie gave a sly smile and said, "I’ve recently got my eyes on a person. It cost a lot of money, the guy is an ex-Navy SEAL and even worked at Zhongnanhai as a bodyguard for national dignitaries. I’ve spent quite a sum to bring him out of retirement, and I believe with his strength, dealing with someone like Xiao Han won’t be a problem at all!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotian was ecstatic and said, "Hei Tie, if you can help me kill Xiao Han, I... I’ll give you five hundred thousand, no! A million!"

"Okay," Hei Tie nodded, as there was money to be earned.

After receiving the news, Qin Xiaotian immediately laughed, took a deep breath, and felt an overwhelming sense of elation and excitement. A smirk formed on his lips. After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaotian was in an excellent mood.

Knock, knock, knock...

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door.

Qin Xiaotian opened the door, only to find his mother standing at the threshold.

In the past few days, Qin Xiaotian’s mood was somewhat off, and Lady Qin, worried that something might be wrong with her, quickly knocked on the door to inquire. Seeing that Xiao Tian’s spirit had improved much, she asked hastily, "Xiao Tian, have you encountered some trouble?"

"No!" Qin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Mom, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m doing well!"

"But why haven’t you gone to school these days and shut yourself in your room all the time?" Lady Qin asked, puzzled.

"Hehe.." Qin Xiaotian chuckled and replied, "I was working on a project at home, but it’s finished now."

"Really?" Lady Qin looked at her son, full of doubts. Her youngest son was the one she cherished most. Even though her eldest son was stronger and had substantial commercial prowess, what she cared about most was the healthy growth of her sons and for them to promptly give her a big, healthy grandson to carry on the lineage of the Qin family. That was of utmost importance.

"Yes!" Qin Xiaotian nodded and assured her, "Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine."

"That’s good to hear," Lady Qin nodded, then said, "If there’s no problem, then come down and sit for a while."

"Mhm!" Qin Xiaotian nodded.

It was dinner time.

Qin Jun and Father Qin were at the dinner table, and one of Qin Xiaotian’s uncles was also there to eat.

As Qin Xiaotian arrived at the dining room, he greeted everyone and then sat down to eat.

"Xiao Tian, how’s school going for you recently?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

"Very good," Qin Xiaotian replied, avoiding eye contact with his older brother. He knew his brother was formidable and could discern one’s thoughts just by looking into their eyes, so he dared not look directly.

"Oh!" Qin Jun nodded and suggested, "If you have time, come and help at the company. We’re short-staffed recently, and the subsidiaries need people too. You’re in your junior year now, so you could start an internship, couldn’t you?"

"Internships are for senior year," Qin Xiaotian shook his head.

"What does that matter?" Qin Xiaotian’s father put down his chopsticks and said, "Education is important, yes, but life experiences and work skills are what truly matter. Do you understand? These are the things you need to stand on your own in society."

"Oh!" Qin Xiaotian nodded and replied, "But I’d like to wait until I graduate from school before starting work at the company."

"You!" Father Qin was about to get angry.

"Dad, just let him be," Qin Jun said with a smile, "Xiao Tian is still young and playful, and he wouldn’t focus on his job if he were at the company. Rather than that, it’s better to let him enjoy his time at school. When he has had enough, he will naturally want to start working."

"Forget it, I won’t bother anymore," Father Qin chuckled and said, "Qin Jun, I’ve left the company in your hands now. Whatever decisions you make, your dad supports you. As for Xiao Tian, you must take good care of him in the future and make sure not to harm each other."

"Dad, look at what you’re saying," Qin Jun shook his head immediately upon hearing this, "Of course I’ll take good care of him; he’s my own brother. If I don’t look after him, who will I look after?"

Qin Xiaotian chuckled and then said, "Big brother, I’ll listen to you in the future."

Qin Jun gave a faint smile and replied, "Good."

During the conversation, a fleeting, hard-to-detect fierceness flashed in Qin Jun’s eyes, which he quickly concealed, returning to normal.

Although Father Qin had handed the company over to Qin Jun, the official position and some core aspects had not truly been transferred to him. Decisions on major directions still required Father Qin’s personal judgment, his review, and his signature. In other words, without Father Qin’s decision, the company’s top-level decisions wouldn’t pass. This key issue was always a sore point in Qin Jun’s heart.

Even though he demonstrated his abilities impressively, and despite performing very well, he still couldn’t gain the family’s full approval. In truth, Qin Jun knew that his parents adored Qin Xiaotian and had always wanted to nurture him.

With Father Qin nearing his fifties, he knew that his time at the company was limited and desperately wanted to cultivate Qin Xiaotian to eventually hand over the family’s responsibilities to him. However, this idea had always been kept deep within his heart. He had never told anyone because he feared it might incite fratricidal strife.

He never spoke of it, but that didn’t mean others didn’t know.

Qin Jun, being very astute, could sense it from his parents’ daily words and actions. He had anticipated that his father’s insistence on controlling the core of the group and his reluctance to truly delegate authority were due to his unwillingness to entrust Qin Corporation to him, instead planning to leave it to his younger brother, Qin Xiaotian.

Thus, Qin Jun was very irritated.

He didn’t want to resort to brotherly conflict, but once it involved such intoxicating matters of interest and power, he might be compelled to act. If one day he really had to kill Qin Xiaotian, perhaps he would make that choice without hesitation.

"Let’s eat," Lady Qin said with a smile.

The servants quickly served rice to everyone and placed it in front of them.

The family ate harmoniously together. Qin Xiaotian was in a good mood, considering that Hei Tie had managed to find a real master to deal with Xiao Han. Qin Xiaotian even ate an extra bowl of rice, despite having barely touched food in the last couple of days and feeling so anxious he was almost at the brink of collapse.
