Chapter 1038: Chapter 1039 Such a Princess

Dragon Six listened to Song Xiaodong and said, "It’s indeed very possible. When I saw Zhao Hua at the time, I also felt quite peculiar. How could the Vice Sect Leader of our Dragon Gate give birth to such a Princess? This matter is actually easy to handle. We can investigate whether Zhao Hua is the biological daughter of Deputy District Chief Zhao."

This direct investigation might be difficult. If she is adopted, the adoptive parents would likely hide this fact. We should collect blood samples for a paternity test to be more accurate.

"Alright, I’ll arrange it personally."

Dragon Six immediately made a call to Deputy District Chief Zhao, inviting him for a meal together, and Deputy District Chief Zhao readily agreed.

At six o’clock in the evening, Song Xiaodong and Dragon Six arrived at the hotel and encountered Deputy District Chief Zhao Qun and Zhao Hua at the entrance.

Apparently, Zhao Hua had already told her father about Song Xiaodong wanting to buy the Dragon Badge, so Zhao Qun behaved differently than usual, casually greeting Dragon Six more heartily.

When Dragon Six introduced Song Xiaodong, he simply stated that Song Xiaodong was his friend, without going into more details.

The group entered a private room, exchanged a few words, ordered dishes, and then Zhao Qun directly said, "Director Lin, I heard from my daughter that you want to buy the badge she’s carrying?"

Dragon Six smiled and said, "Yes, I wonder if Deputy District Chief Zhao is willing to part with it?"

Zhao Qun laughed and said, "CEO Lin, let’s be straightforward. Since you both value this badge, it proves its worth, so it depends on what price CEO Lin is willing to offer."

Dragon Six said, "My friend has offered two million to your daughter, isn’t that enough for Deputy District Chief Zhao?"

Zhao Qun smiled slightly and said, "Two million sounds like a lot, but I doubt that’s the full value of the badge. Director Lin, you’re in business, but surely you don’t intend to profit from me?"

Having been in business for so long, Dragon Six understood Zhao Qun’s implication and replied, "Since Deputy District Chief Zhao speaks so openly, I’ll be direct too. This badge holds special meaning for my friend. On the market, it’s unrecognizable, but if you don’t believe it, you can have it appraised."

Zhao Qun laughed, "Getting it appraised is too troublesome. I trust Director Lin wouldn’t deceive me. After all, we might make money together in the future."

Dragon Six nodded and said, "Yes, so I’ll be honest, four million is definitely a reasonable price."

Deputy District Chief Zhao laughed and said, "Four million, isn’t that a bit low?"

"Deputy District Chief Zhao, it’s more than enough. I’ll rely on you to make money in the future. How could I deceive you?"

Seeing Dragon Six’s earnestness, Zhao Qun knew it was a fair price and replied, "Let’s make it five million. Earning an extra million is no problem for me, how’s that?"

Song Xiaodong and Dragon Six exchanged glances, and understood that Deputy District Chief Zhao was merely using the opportunity to extort more money. But five million was a small sum to them, considering Zhao Hua might be the Princess, and giving five million to Zhao Qun, her adoptive father, was no trouble for Dragon Gate.

"Then it’s settled," Song Xiaodong nodded.

Dragon Six immediately transferred five million to Zhao Qun’s account, and Zhao Hua handed the Dragon Badge to Song Xiaodong.

Then they started drinking. Song Xiaodong, under the pretense of toasting, discreetly collected blood samples from Zhao Qun and Zhao Hua. It was a trivial task for him, and neither Zhao Qun nor Zhao Hua noticed anything.

The dishes started being served, and a stream of waiters brought them in.

Zhao Hua saw a waitress and said in surprise, "Oh, isn’t that Qi Lanqin? You ended up working as a waitress here?" Despite her surprise, her expression was more one of schadenfreude.

She was a young girl around twenty-one or twenty-two, in a hotel waitress’s uniform, yet her charming face couldn’t be concealed. She looked at Zhao Hua with an expression of embarrassment and said, "Hello Zhao Hua."

"Ha-ha... What’s this, our class’s top student, the boys’ dream girl, ended up working as a waitress? How amusing," Zhao Hua’s tone was evidently mocking.

The girl forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I’m working right now and can’t chat with you."

"Come on, are you afraid of losing your salary? Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no one will deduct your salary. Come, let’s chat a bit. I’m really curious how our top student ended up like this."

Qi Lanqin’s face showed clear signs of anger from being humiliated, but she bit her lip and said, "Thank you, but I can’t do that. Let’s chat another time when there’s an opportunity."

"Oh come on, it’s rare we meet; we should talk. Hey, go tell your boss I’m the Deputy District Chief’s daughter, and that Qi Lanqin is my classmate. I’m keeping her for a chat," she said to another waiter nearby.

The waiter quickly agreed and whispered to Qi Lanqin, "You should stay; it’s a good opportunity." Then hastily left.

Zhao Hua triumphantly continued, "Qi Lanqin, let me introduce you. This is my dad, no need to explain his job, and these two are big bosses, billionaires. Come, have a drink with them, chat a bit. If they fancy you, you might become a Mistress, and you’ll suddenly prosper."

Qi Lanqin clenched her fists so hard that her nails nearly pierced her palms. Her face flushed red as she said, biting her lip, "Sorry, I’m not here to entertain."

"Ha-ha, you’re funny. Being a waitress is tough, barely making any money monthly. You don’t have a wealthy and influential dad like me. Even without a degree, I can work in big companies. You have a pretty face, why not become a Mistress? That way, you’d be rich."

"Shut up!" Song Xiaodong couldn’t bear it anymore. This was the Dragon Gate Princess, how could he tolerate such vile behavior as the Dragon Gate Young Master?

Song Xiaodong’s commanding shout startled Zhao Hua, making her shiver.

Zhao Hua assumed Song Xiaodong was trying to curry favor with Qi Lanqin and quickly sneered, "Oh, Qi Lanqin, see? You’ve caught this boss’s eye. Go over, toast him properly, and make him happy. Soon you’ll be his, and you’ll hit the jackpot."
