"What did you say?" Qi Nan hadn't expected that at that moment, the other person still had the audacity to talk back.

In fact, he knew Lin Yun.

Once, he heard that Xia Qingqing had a male friend she was quite close to. Many people even mistook that guy to be Xia Qingqing's boyfriend, so he specifically had a private investigator look into it.

The information he obtained was even more detailed than that of Zhang Tianyu.

He knew that the guy was not Xia Qingqing's boyfriend. He knew that Lin Yun owned a small processing factory. He knew that Lin Yun had helped Xia Qingqing when she was going through her toughest times. Xia Qingqing would go and help out at Lin Yun's small processing factory whenever she had time. He knew that Xia Qingqing had some feelings for Lin Yun.

It was quite normal for Xia Qingqing to have such a reaction after Lin Yun helped her out like a hero.

What was a relief to him was that Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing hadn't gotten together even after spending two years together.

He wasn't sure if it was because of Lin Yun or Xia Qingqing, but since they hadn't gotten together even after two years of being together, he didn't consider Lin Yun a threat any more.

In his view, he was an outstanding candidate. Compared to Zhang Tianyu, an aimless heir to a wealthy family with a notorious reputation, if he only pushed harder and if Xia Qingqing wasn't foolish, she would ultimately choose him.

Some time ago, he heard that Xia Qingqing had borrowed money from someone else.

After letting a private investigator look into it, he found out that Lin Yun had run into some troubles. That small processing factory had been confiscated and heavily fined. The money that Xia Qingqing borrowed was transferred to Lin Yun.

In his view, he knew everything there was to know about Lin Yun.

Otherwise, if his emotional intelligence wasn't really low, how could he be so confrontational as he was now?

Those who are confident in their ability to be boastful are commendable, while those who boast without confidence are fools. If Lin Yun actually had a powerful background, then he would be the fool.

Now? Heh heh!

He hadn't expected that Xia Qingqing and Lin Yun had actually gotten together.

Life's low points are when a person is most likely to change.

Was it an outburst of Xia Qingqing's compassion?

Or did Lin Yun realize he had nothing left and, out of desperation, had to latch onto something beautiful and pursued Xia Qingqing shamelessly?

No matter what the reason, it was time to slap their faces hard!

Lin Yun had used the tactics of a hero saving a damsel to win over Xia Qingqing!

He would use his dominating spirit to conquer Xia Qingqing!

"Lin Yun, others might not know about your background, but you think I don't know about it as well? Just now, I was just giving you some face!" Thinking thus, Qi Nan took a step forward and sneered.

"Coming from the countryside, you worked hard for five years but only managed to earn a net worth of a million. Recently, your fake good operation was seized, and now you have nothing. I'd assume the most expensive thing you have is probably the clothes on your body, which Qingqing bought for you by borrowing money. I'm quite curious about what business you're in right now.

I can't handle it, unless, what you're doing now is some illegal business? Smuggling? Drug trafficking? Heh heh, if that's the case, I really can't handle your arena!" Qi Nan sneered with a tone full of contempt and disdain.

Hearing Qi Nan's words, the onlookers' expressions shifted slightly.

Qi Nan knew this Lin Yun so well?

"No wonder Qi Nan dared to talk to him like that. He knows him so well..."

Someone whispered.

"This Lin Yun, turns out he came from the countryside? Looking at how well-dressed he is and how imposing he is, I thought he was from some big city..."

"Earned a million in five years? That's not bad! Only Qi Nan would say something like that! Surprisingly, this Lin Yun from the countryside is quite capable!"

"Didn't you hear, his recent fake goods operation was seized? He's playing in the gray area. Earning a million in five years is quite low given his unlawful ways, it seems his ability is limited! Once seized, he's sent back to where he started!"

Some people whispered among themselves.

"So, the clothes he's wearing were bought with the money that Xia Qingqing borrowed? That's a shame..."

"I really despise people like that..."

"Borrowing money to show off, and from a woman at that, what a joke!"

"Can't handle it? I bet Lin Yun didn't expect Qi Nan to know him so well, he overdid it with the boasting!"

"Who would have thought that Xia Qingqing would have such a boyfriend..."

Some looked at Lin Yun with disdain.

Lin Yun's face turned cold.

Had the other party investigated him? Or more precisely, had they investigated Qingqing?

Besides, the language used was clearly confrontational.

"Qi Nan, I'll tell you again, don't call me Qingqing. That's not your place. And, how my boyfriend is, that's my business, not yours." Xia Qingqing could no longer hold her tongue. She stepped forward, her face icy, and spoke out.

"What? Are you angry now?" Qi Nan ignored Xia Qingqing. His gaze was fixed on Lin Yun, and he sneered.

"Now, I'm giving you a choice. Here's a check for one million. It's the money you can earn in five years. Take the money and leave Qingqing. You can go back to your hometown in glory, and marry any girl from the village. I, Qi Nan, always follow through!" Qi Nan took out a check from his front pocket and arrogantly announced.

"What? One million is not enough? How about two million?" Seeing that Lin Yun remained silent, Qi Nan sneered.

As he spoke, he took out another check, holding it together with the previous one.

"Think it through. Two million is what you could earn with ten years of hard work. Think about the hardship you've endured over the past five years. Accept this check, and it'll save you a decade of hardship. Ten years, the prime of your life, you could live easily for a long time! If you invest it in a business, with this much capital, you could turn your life around instantly!"

One had to admit, as a novelist, Qi Nan had a way with words. If their resolves were feeble, and they were indeed from humble backgrounds, they might have been tempted by his offer.

"Two million!"

"Damn!"

"Qi Nan is really generous!"

Seeing this, many people exclaimed.

Two million! Even if they graduated and didn't spend a penny, how long would it take them to save that much?

They guessed it would take at least a decade or so.

Looking at those two checks, they were somewhat tempted.

Qi Nan was really something. In order to pursue a girl, he was willing to invest so much, just to make the current boyfriend give up on her.

If they were in his place, they might not have been so generous.

Even if the girl was as stunning as the campus belle, Xia Qingqing.

Some of the girls looked at Qi Nan with stars in their eyes, totally captivated by his dominance. At the same time, they looked at Xia Qingqing with eyes filled with envy.

This Xia Qingqing, an eye but no gold, ignoring such a fabulous guy and instead falling for such a jerk.

If only, Qi Nan liked one of them. They would definitely accept him.

"Three million if two million is not enough! Remember, this is the maximum. If you refuse, you may not get a penny. Three million. It's money you could earn from fifteen years of hard work if everything goes well. If not, you may never earn so much in your entire lifetime.

Take your recent investigation, for instance, you lost everything in an instant! Think it through!" Seeing the desired reaction from everyone, Qi Nan sneered again at Lin Yun. He had achieved the desired effect.

As he spoke, he took out another check, joined it with the previous two, and offered them to Lin Yun like a devil's fruit full of infinite temptation.

"Three million!"

"Hss--"

Many people gasped.

Shu Lee clenched his fist.

He knew he had lost.

He truly couldn't beat Qi Nan.

Even if Xia Qingqing did break up with Lin Yun, he wouldn't be able to compete with Qi Nan.

Qi Nan's boldness was too great.

And Qi Nan's prospects and status were something his family could never match.
