Ding Ning didn't give him face at all, tilting his head and looking at him, with no emotion in his deep eyes. "Do you know me?"
The embarrassment on Qian Xi's face flashed away, and he withdrew his hand embarrassedly, moving forward and whispering, "I am Xiaoyao's cousin, Xiao Nuo's friend, and we are all on the same side."
"It turns out to be Third Brother Qian. Sorry for not recognizing you!"
As soon as Ding Ning heard him mention Xiaoyao and Xiao Nuo, he had no choice but to give him face. He held his hand with a smile on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Third Brother Qian. It's really a flood against the Dragon King's temple."
He changed his face so fast that everyone was amazed. Ling Yun and Lu Zhan didn't feel anything, but Chu Yunxiu was already dumbfounded.
She didn't know who Qian Xi was, but she had seen him more than once from a distance. Every time he came in and out, he was surrounded by a group of people, looking majestic. At first glance, she knew he was a big shot.
At this time, several sisters who married into rich families would whisper with envy, saying that he was the young master of the Qian Family and the Ladies Clubhouse was the property of the Qian Family.
But she never thought that the big shot, who was unattainable in her eyes, would be so humble in front of Ding Ning.
Yes, he was humble. This made Chu Yunxiu look at Ding Ning weirdly. Was he still the little guy who was ridiculed and belittled by her every day?
Seeing Ding Ning call him Third Brother, Qian Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed slightly, holding Ding Ning's hand and shaking it. "Childe Ding, you are too polite. How dare you call me Third Brother? If you don't mind, you can call me Xi-zi."
No one knew whether it was an illusion or not, but everyone seemed to feel a sense of flattery from Qian Xi's attitude, which made them more and more surprised about Ding Ning's identity.
"Alas, since we are on the same side, Third Brother, don't be so polite to me. I've been called Childe Ding, but I'm not a young master. Third Brother, you can call me Ding Ning."
Since Qian Xi was so sensible, Ding Ning naturally wouldn't be too aggressive, greeting him warmly.
"Since Childe Ding gives me face and I'm a few years older than you, I'll be thick-skinned and agree to call you Third Brother, Brother Ding!"
Qian Xi's face was shining, full of smiles, as if Ding Ning calling him Third Brother was a great honor for him, and he had a feeling of climbing up the social ladder.
Among the four brothers of the Qian Family, he had the closest relationship with Xiaoyao. Therefore, he knew better than the other brothers how prominent the family behind Xiao Nuo, who had always kept a low profile.
No one dared to guess what height the man Xiao Nuo liked would reach in the future. In Qian Xi's view, Ding Ning's future was absolutely limitless.
Even if he didn't pursue an official career or enter the military, and was just a doctor, just his identity as the son-in-law of the Xiao family and his terrifying skills were enough for him to try his best to befriend him.
After the greetings, Qian Xi became serious. "Brother Ding, I don't know which blind person offended you and made you so furious."
"Nothing. It's just that an elder of mine was detained here by your people and wanted to kill him. I came to see what was going on, but I was besieged when I came here. I can't just stand there and do nothing."
When it came to business, Ding Ning's expression was calm and indifferent.
Qian Xi's face darkened, and he turned to the club manager to ask, "Qian Fang, what's going on?"
"I … I don't know. I also heard from Captain Zhang that someone was making trouble, so I asked the security guards to come to maintain order."
The club manager, Qian Fang, was a collateral relative of the Qian Family. Because he had some management talents, he was arranged to be the manager of the Ladies Club. Facing Third Childe Qian's question, he answered timidly.
"Zhang Wei? Where is he? "
Qian Xi's eyes flashed and he asked.
"He … he fainted."
Qian Fang pointed at the guard leader who fainted and said timidly.
"Wake him up!"
Qian Xi shouted in a low voice with a pale face.
"Yes, Third Childe!"
Several guards came forward to pull Zhang Wei up, but they couldn't wake him up, so they looked at Qian Xi awkwardly.
"Don't pretend. If you continue to pretend, I promise you will never wake up."
Ding Ning thoughtfully looked at Zhang Wei's somewhat familiar face and suddenly said coldly.
Everyone suddenly understood and looked at Zhang Wei with a weird expression.
"Bastard, if you dare to pretend to faint again, I will put you in a sack and throw you into the river."
Qian Xi's face was burning. "F * ck, this Zhang Wei is the head of the security guards, but now he still pretends to faint." Qian Xi was instantly furious.
"I … I wake up. Er, Third Childe, when did you come!"
Zhang Wei immediately got up and pretended to have just woken up. He rubbed his eyes and asked Qian Xi embarrassedly.
"Tell me, what happened? Why did they fight? "
Qian Xi glared and asked angrily.
Zhang Wei's eyes flashed, and he said confidently, "I don't know. I heard the waiter say that someone was making trouble, so I brought people to maintain order. Unexpectedly, when they met, they started to fight without saying anything and had a conflict with us."
Qian Xi frowned and felt a little unhappy. "If what Zhang Wei said was true, he was just fulfilling his duty, but Ding Ning and others obviously came to make trouble on purpose."
"Nonsense. Obviously, these usurers kidnapped my mother. I came to ransom her, but these people spoke rudely and said dirty words. Brother Lu couldn't bear it, so he took action. When we just started to fight, you rushed over with your men and started to fight. We just fought back in self-defense."
Seeing Zhang Wei invert the truth, Ling Yun immediately argued angrily.
"So many of our brothers here can testify that you started to fight first. Third Childe, if you don't believe it, ask these brothers."
Zhang Wei's face was full of grief and indignation, and he argued strongly.
He was sure that there was no surveillance in this private room. His men were beaten, so they were all angry and would never admit that they started to fight first. Anyway, there was no evidence, so he could say whatever he wanted.
Sure enough, those guards stared at Lu Zhan with hatred and shouted that Ling Yun talked nonsense. Obviously, it was Lu Zhan who started to fight first.
"You …"
Ling Yun was so angry that her face turned red. She still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Ding Ning, who slightly shook his head to signal her not to speak.
Qian Xi looked embarrassed. He didn't want to offend Ding Ning, but if Ding Ning deliberately picked a fight and hurt so many people, he couldn't explain to his family if he didn't seek justice for the Qian Family.
Ding Ning sneered and stared at Zhang Wei, with an obscure meaning in his eyes. "You are Zhang Wei?"
"Yes!" Zhang Wei stared at him fiercely, with hatred flashing in his eyes.
Ding Ning slightly raised the corner of his mouth, turned a blind eye to Zhang Wei's murderous eyes, and asked indifferently, "You and Zhang Zheng are brothers?"
Zhang Wei was stunned and his heart trembled, but most people here knew the relationship between him and Zhang Zheng, so he couldn't hide it, so he said frankly, "Yes, Zhang Zheng is my younger brother."
"Zhang Zheng was fired by the Qian Family because of me, so in order to avenge him, you deliberately colluded with others to take revenge on me, right?"
Ding Ning's expression was very calm. He seemed to be asking, but his tone was very firm.
Qian Xi turned and stared at Zhang Wei, with a trace of fierceness in his eyes. He wanted to see how Zhang Wei would answer. It was human nature and understandable that Zhang Wei took revenge for his younger brother.
But what he cared about was that Zhang Wei dared to deceive him and even colluded with more than a hundred guards to deceive him, which was something he couldn't tolerate.
"No, don't talk nonsense. When we had a dispute, you were not there at all. How could I take revenge on you?"
A hint of panic flashed across Zhang Wei's face, but he quickly calmed down and said righteously.
"Yes, Brother Ding, I have a general understanding of the situation. When Zhang Wei and your friends had a dispute, you were not there, so it should be a coincidence."
Qian Xi was relieved. If Zhang Wei and more than a hundred guards all lied, the consequence would be serious, which was enough to show that they didn't take him, the Third Childe, seriously, which was a result he didn't want to face.
Ding Ning slightly raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Qian Xi and sighed. "It seems that these people don't take Third Brother seriously at all. They all lied to you."
Qian Xi's face was a little pale. "Brother Ding, the fact is very clear. It was your friends who attacked first, and so many people here can testify. I don't believe that every one of them lied to me."
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows, with a trace of fierceness in his eyes, and coldly looked at Zhang Wei's group of people. "Don't say that I don't give you a chance. Now I give you the last chance to tell the truth. You were just deceived by others. It's not too late to tell the truth, and Third Brother Qian won't blame you. But if I take out the evidence, you should know what will happen to you because you took the salary of the Qian Family but deceived your own family."
Qian Xi's eyes flickered, and he silently observed these people's expressions. He found that many people lowered their heads guiltily, and his heart suddenly thumped. "Is what Ding Ning said true? These guys really dared to lie to me."
"Don't sow discord and slander me. When we came, you were not here at all, and I didn't know these people were your friends. How could it be a deliberate revenge?"
Zhang Wei was very anxious, fearing that his subordinates would reveal their flaws, so he hurriedly shouted. In fact, he was hinting to these subordinates that Ding Ning was not even here at that time, so how could he have any evidence?
As expected, as soon as he said this, those guards all looked firm, and they said confidently, "We took the salary of the Qian Family, so we naturally can't deceive Third Childe. Childe Ding, don't try to sow discord."
"Right, it was your people who attacked first, but now you threaten us."
"If you have any evidence, just take it out to prove our innocence."
"Don't threaten us just because Third Childe knows you. We are loyal to the Qian Family, so how could we deceive Third Childe?"
…
The group of security guards clamored, but no one admitted to lying.
Qian Xi was silent. He was not a fool, and he could see that the change of these guards' attitudes was all because of what Zhang Wei said.
But there were more than one hundred guards here. Even if he wanted to deal with so many people, he had to report to his family for permission. Before he had any evidence, he could not deal with them easily.
"You really won't give up until you die. Do you think there is no evidence to prove that you are lying because there are no surveillance cameras here?"
Ding Ning said slowly and unhurriedly, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. He stared at Zhang Wei. "Yes, when you had a conflict with my friends, I was indeed not there."
"Since you also said you were not there at that time, how could you infer that I came against you to avenge Zhang Zheng? Aren't you trying to sow discord? "
Zhang Wei felt reassured, and an imperceptible complacency flashed in his eyes.
Ding Ning smiled faintly. "Because of this, I concluded that you knew I would come today, so you colluded with outsiders to set up this trap. You wanted to use the Qian Family to become enemies with me and achieve your goal of revenge."
