It's Heqin Prefecture!
Without pausing, the assassin brandished his dagger once more, channeling his inner strength to its peak!
The dagger, like a shooting star, swiftly pierced towards He Qinzhou at an incredible speed!
Just when everyone thought it was all over, a shocking scene unfolded!
Chapter 371: I Have a Request
He Qinzhou suddenly grabbed the assassin's arm and flicked his wrist, knocking the dagger out of his hand!
"The murderer has been caught. Take him into custody!"
He glanced at the security personnel who arrived late, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
These guys must have received all sorts of benefits promised by Long Yang beforehand.
The security personnel's Adam's apples bobbed; they clearly hadn't expected He Qinzhou to possess such skill!
They hurriedly bound the assassin's hands with zip ties and then took him to a small hut.
Glancing at the surrounding crowd and seeing Long Yang's unpleasant expression, He Qinzhou revealed a smug look.
It seems that although his plan today went slightly off track, the result was still perfect.
Following He Qinzhou's gaze, Long Tiancheng also saw his grandson.
His face turned extremely ugly, clearly he had already guessed what was going on.
By this time, many people in the banquet hall had already noticed Long Yang.
They were all from the same circle, and they saw each other all the time.
Everyone knows to some extent what kind of person Long Yang is.
A very bold idea began to take root in everyone's minds.
Could it be... that this assassination attempt is related to Long Yang?
"Yang'er, do you know about this matter?"
Without delay, Long Tiancheng directly questioned Long Yang.
Upon hearing this, Long Yang was immediately startled and quickly retorted, "Of course not, how could it be me?"
"Grandpa Long, there's something I'd like to tell you."
Long Yang had just finished explaining when He Qinzhou spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Long Yang seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and hurriedly glared angrily at He Qinzhou.
They wanted to use this to threaten him.
Faced with Long Yang's pressure, He Qinzhou just smiled contemptuously and then looked at Long Tiancheng.
Long Tiancheng turned his head in confusion, not understanding what He Qinzhou wanted to do with him.
"Grandpa Long, didn't you just say that you planned to hand over the Long family business to your granddaughter?"
“I’m very lucky to know your granddaughter, Mu Yuxin.”
These words caused a stir in the banquet hall.
To everyone's surprise, He Qinzhou had the unexpected opportunity to meet Long Tiancheng's granddaughter.
"Really? Where is she now?"
Upon hearing He Qinzhou mention the news of his granddaughter, Long Tiancheng became excited and immediately inquired about it.
His current loss of composure completely disregarded the demeanor of a successful person.
He Qinzhou smiled slightly, turned to Mu Yuxin and said, "Yuxin, did you hear that? Your grandfather is looking for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Tiancheng followed He Qinzhou's gaze and saw a slender, beautiful woman with a slender figure.
It was Mu Yuxin!
Seeing that Mu Yuxin's features bore a striking resemblance to his daughter, Long Tiancheng could no longer contain his emotions.
With the aid of a bodyguard and leaning on a cane, he stepped down from the podium.
Slowly approaching Mu Yuxin, Long Tiancheng's lips trembled slightly, his voice trembling with a hint of a sob: "You... are Yuxin?"
Mu Yuxin was at a loss for what to do and could only cast a pleading look at He Qinzhou.
He Qinzhou simply smiled faintly and did not take any action.
Left with no other choice, Mu Yuxin could only glare at He Qinzhou with embarrassment and annoyance before meeting Long Tiancheng's gaze again.
"Grandpa Long, I am Mu Yuxin..."
"Even though the person you're looking for also has this name... it's possible they just happen to have the same name..."
"You've probably misunderstood..."
Mu Yuxin answered Long Tiancheng's question gently.
A single tear welled in Long Tiancheng's eye as he shook his head and said, "No... I absolutely did not mistake him..."
"Your eyes and nose look so much like my daughter's, you must be my granddaughter!"
Mu Yuxin was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Yuxin, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime. Heaven has truly been kind to me!"
Long Tiancheng was overjoyed and thought of taking a step forward to take a closer look at his granddaughter.
However, Mu Yuxin subconsciously took a step back and hid behind He Qinzhou.
He Qinzhou also reached out and put his arm around Mu Yuxin at just the right moment, saying, "Grandpa Long, you're going to scare my woman like this."
He Qinzhou's words were straightforward yet sarcastic, causing Long Tiancheng to frown deeply.
"What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says, Yuxin is my woman."
He Qinzhou spoke in a flippant tone, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Long Tiancheng was stunned, staring in disbelief at the two people who were being so intimate in front of him.
In the past, Long Tiancheng would naturally not have objected.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to even ask him to bring the two together.
After all, He Qinzhou was the most promising young talent before.
But today is different.
He Qinzhou's reputation is ruined.
Rumors circulated that he was addicted to women and had fallen into depravity, no longer possessing his former abilities.
Wouldn't it be harming my granddaughter to live with a man like that?
No, I have to persuade her to leave Heqin Prefecture!
Long Tiancheng was making plans in his mind.
"Yuxin, would you like to come back to the Long family?"
Long Tiancheng gave Mu Yuxin a kind smile and asked.
Mu Yuxin glanced at He Qinzhou, and only after he nodded did she reply, "Okay."
Seeing his granddaughter so obedient to He Qinzhou, Long Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a little displeased.
But hearing her answer made me secretly pleased.
"You probably heard it just now, I want you to inherit the Long family business, do you agree?"
Mu Yuxin glanced at He Qinzhou again, and seeing him nod once more, she could only purse her red lips helplessly and nod gently.
"It's not that I can't let you inherit the Long family business, but I hope you can grant me one request."
Upon hearing this, both Mu Yuxin and Long Yang became anxious.
The former is because she is unsure what the other party wants to ask of her; if the demands are difficult to fulfill, she would rather give up.
The reason the latter was anxious was that she never expected that her grandfather would be willing to let Mu Yuxin inherit the Long family business just for a so-called request!
In Long Yang's view, he could fulfill any request in order to inherit the Long family business!
Thinking this, Long Yang's gaze toward Mu Yuxin grew even colder.
"You say it."
Mu Yuxin did not immediately agree to Long Tiancheng's request, but instead chose to let him state his own demands first.
Give yourself a good chance to think it over.
"I hope you can stay away from this man; he doesn't deserve you."
Without hesitation, Long Tiancheng pointed at He Qinzhou and said.
The words were so sharp that it seemed to be grinding He Qinzhou's dignity into the ground.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuxin's expression changed.
She would never allow anyone to insult her beloved!
Chapter 372: Not Trying to Target the Long Family
Just as Mu Yuxin was about to lose her temper and rebuke Long Tiancheng, He Qinzhou spoke up directly: "Old Master Long, let's put aside my matter with Yuxin for now. Shouldn't you give an explanation to all of us here?"
"Why would an assassin attempt to kill me and Yuxin on your birthday?"
This statement was immediately met with agreement from everyone.
"Yes, Elder Long, you really should give us an explanation!"
"That's right, if you keep acting like this, who will dare to work with your Long family in the future? You might get assassinated one day!"
The words of the crowd pierced Long Tiancheng's heart like sharp arrows.
For a moment, he didn't know how to refute it.
"We, the He family, will remember what happened today."
"Your Long family must give us an explanation, otherwise our cooperation will not only be impossible to continue, but you should also prepare to face the wrath of the He family!"
He Qinzhou said with a frown.
He knew very well that this assassination attempt was entirely Long Yang's personal plan and had nothing to do with the Long family.
However, he wanted to take this opportunity to give the Long family a good warning.
Long Tiancheng's face turned almost liver-colored; he was angry but dared not vent it.
Although He Qinzhou has lost power in the He family, he is still a member of the He family.
For wealthy families like this, appearances are of utmost importance.
If the He family finds out that their own family members have been provoked in this way, they will definitely not let it go!
Although the Long family is very powerful, it is still slightly inferior to the He family.
"Then what do you want?"
Long Tiancheng suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
"It's simple, just leave the things between me and Yuxin alone."
"At the same time, you can give half of your shares to Yuxin."
He Qinzhou said, feigning indifference.
Although He Qinzhou seemed very casual, Long Tiancheng's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
Seeing his granddaughter and He Qinzhou being so intimate, the shrewd Long Tiancheng immediately thought that if his granddaughter owned half of the shares, that silly girl might foolishly hand over all of them to He Qinzhou.
In this way, the foundation you have painstakingly built is no different from handing it over to someone else.
Seeing Long Tiancheng deep in thought, He Qinzhou naturally knew what he was thinking.
“I know what you’re worried about. Don’t you have a grandson? Why don’t you give your remaining shares to your grandson? That way, they can keep each other in check.”
"Besides, I'm not really that interested in your Long family. I can sign an agreement with you and never try to take advantage of your Long family again."
