Su Hang shook his head repeatedly. Sending this delicate and pampered young master to Daliang Mountain was indeed a bit too much to ask of him. However, given Xue Qi's late-stage middle school syndrome, he really did need some good training.
It was clear that Xue Xuan was determined to discipline Xue Qi this time. Although Su Hang had a decent relationship with Xue Xuan, he didn't think that a few casual words from him would change her mind.
After all, he was just an outsider and had no right to interfere in the Xue family's affairs.

Dragging and pulling, Xue Qi finally brought Su Hang to the headquarters of Jiuding, heading straight for Xue Xuan's office.
Xue Xuan was working in her office. Xue Qi didn't dare to enter, only entrusting Su Hang with a few words before slinking away.
"How's the progress on the supersonic engine?" The first thing Xue Xuan said upon seeing Su Hang was to ask about the supersonic engine.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to complete the task on time," Su Hang smiled calmly and sat down on the sofa. Xue Xuan was wearing a white chiffon dress today, and even with light makeup, she looked very attractive.
"Just manage your time well. You made a big promise, and if you lose to Mr. Deng's student, it will be your own reputation that suffers." Hearing Su Hang's confident tone, Xue Xuan didn't say much more and got back to the point, "What brings you here today?"
"It's Little Qi who dragged me here. He heard you're sending him to Daliang Mountain and asked me to put in a good word for him," Su Hang said.
Xue Xuan chuckled at Su Hang's words, "This kid is quite clever, actually thinking of asking you for help. But this time, even if he brings the Heavenly King, it won't help. Don't get involved in this."
"You really are heartless. Poor Xue Qi is in for some tough times," Su Hang shrugged. He had no intention of getting involved from the beginning, but he just said it casually.
Xue Xuan smiled calmly, "Actually, I haven't decided where to send him yet. Daliang Mountain is a bit too remote, and if no one supervises him, I'm worried he might cause more trouble!"
She paused and looked at Su Hang, "Your family is from the countryside, right?"
"What? You're not thinking of sending your brother to my place, are you?" Su Hang was taken aback, and from the look in Xue Xuan's eyes, it seemed she really had this in mind.
Xue Xuan nodded and smiled, "It's not impossible. The place doesn't matter; what matters is the training. When can you take me to your hometown?"
She wasn't just saying this. From the beginning, Xue Xuan had been very curious about Su Hang. This was a situation she had never encountered before. Although she hadn't deliberately investigated Su Hang, she was very curious about him.
Hearing Xue Xuan's words, Su Hang was also taken aback, "You're not serious, are you?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Xue Xuan gave Su Hang a flirtatious glare, "When you're free, that's decided. We won't go to Daliang Mountain, but to your hometown."
"That's a bit too hasty," Su Hang was sweating profusely and said, "I'm always free. I'm planning to go back to my hometown these days. If you really want to go, let's go together."
The two chatted for a while, and Su Hang received a call before leaving the Jiuding building.

"Brother Hang, how did it go? What did my sister say?" Outside the building, Xue Qi followed Su Hang, asking non-stop.
"Thank me properly," Su Hang turned and looked at him, grinning, "Your sister said you don't have to go to Daliang Mountain."
"Really?" Xue Qi exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
"Don't get too excited yet," Su Hang quickly dashed his hopes, "You won't go to Daliang Mountain, but you'll suffer in another place."
"Where?"
Xue Qi's heart sank again.
Su Hang shook his head and didn't say more, heading towards the parking spot. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, as if a bloodthirsty beast in the dark was staring at him.
He immediately stopped and turned around. There were many people on the street, but they were just passersby. The eerie feeling disappeared the moment Su Hang turned around. He scanned the area but found nothing suspicious.
"What's wrong?" Xue Qi, holding a paper fan, fanned himself wildly and came over, looking at Su Hang with confusion.
"Nothing!" Su Hang pondered for a moment, shook his head, and scanned the area again, finding nothing. He assumed he was just being paranoid, took the fan from Xue Qi, fanned himself, and got into the car with Xue Qi.

Not far away, in a corner, inside a Land Rover SUV.
Three people were in the car: a scar-faced driver, a muscular man with short hair and a black tank top sitting in the passenger seat, and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe in the back. The muscular man's arms were covered in tattoos, and he didn't look like a good person. He wore sunglasses, but the sinister eyes beneath them were still visible.
"Was it that kid who killed Ah Chou?" The tattooed man turned to the scar-faced driver and asked.
The scar-faced driver immediately replied, "It should be correct. The kid is called Su Hang, a student at the University of Science and Technology. Ah Chou took a job, and I investigated. On that day, Ah Chou led people to cause trouble for this kid and then disappeared. Ah Chou's employer was scared out of his mind and couldn't provide any information, but there was another female student named Tan Lili involved. According to her, Ah Chou and the others he brought were indeed killed, and it's highly likely that they were killed by this Su Hang."
"Hmph, he's quite bold, daring to kill one of my Black Tiger Gang members. He really doesn't take me, Hong Heihu, seriously! Ah Chou, the fool, couldn't even handle a young punk." The tattooed man snorted and turned to the middle-aged Taoist man in the back, his face showing a hint of flattery, "Master Liu, what do you think?"
The Taoist man remained expressionless, his cold gaze retracting from the window. If Su Hang were here, he would have felt that the eerie sensation that made him shudder came from this Taoist man.
The Taoist man pondered for a moment and turned to Hong Heihu, "What about the other young man?"
Hong Heihu looked at the scar-faced driver, who immediately replied, "He's from the capital and seems to have some connection with Jiuding Group. My subordinates are still investigating the details."
"The capital?" The Taoist man frowned slightly, "He's only in his teens and already at the Sixth Rank of Martial Artist. He might be connected to a powerful family."
