Leaving the police station, Xiao Yufan finally snapped out of his shock. Judging from the police chief’s reaction, his master must have gone straight to the chief’s superior. If that were the case, his master was simply too impressive.
“Brother Fan, can you at least tell me who you really are? The police chief of Chenghai is famously cunning; for him to panic like that, there must be something fishy going on!”
“This…can I say I’m not exactly sure myself? I think it’s all arranged by my master. At the very least, with my master personally stepping in, this so-called Qian family of Chenghai is nothing but a pile of crap…”
“I was just thinking of celebrating properly with you, Brother Fan. Could you at least watch your language a bit?” Qin Menglu shot Xiao Yufan a glance, her expression brimming with charm. This girl was practically a national menace.
Xiao Yufan’s heart was filled with exhilaration. Qian Yun had finally met his downfall, and would probably dare not make any further moves. Next, he would completely eliminate the Qian family’s nuisance, and only then could Qin Menglu peacefully return to Beijing with him.
The police station incident quickly passed, and neither of them mentioned it again, though Qin Menglu’s heart remained warm. Xiao Yufan’s image was deeply etched into her memory.
When the two walked out of KFC, Xiao Yufan received a multimedia message from Lin Pingle. It showed the stock trend of Xingyao Electronics and the IP address he had locked onto. Seeing this, Xiao Yufan immediately became interested.
“I’d like to see just how the Qian family can keep denying this time. Manipulating stocks behind the scenes—no matter how powerful and wealthy the Qian family is, they should understand the seriousness of this situation!”
A cold smirk curled his lips. He had absolutely no respect for the Qian family of Chenghai. Since these people didn’t want him to have an easy time, he naturally couldn’t afford to be too merciful. Bashing a drowning dog was something he was more than happy to do.
…
It had already been several days since arriving in Chenghai, and Xiao Yufan didn’t want to delay any further. The very next day, he handed all the evidence collected by Lin Pingle regarding the Qian family’s covert activities to Qin Menglu’s father.
With these materials in hand, Qin Menglu’s father finally exhaled in relief. He looked at Xiao Yufan with increasing favor—after all, the latter was clearly a lucky charm for the entire company.
“The Qian family still has some backing here in Chenghai. Even with this evidence, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t worry. Leave the rest to me. Uncle, you just focus on negotiating terms with the Qian family.”
Xiao Yufan wore an expression of complete confidence, treating the Qian family as if they were nothing. If anyone else had said such words, Qin Menglu’s father might have scoffed, but after hearing about everything that had happened yesterday from various sources, he realized that Xiao Yufan was far more complex than he appeared on the surface.
Xiao Yufan’s confidence stemmed from the fact that yesterday, his master had already given him a definite reply: all the Qian family’s connections in Chenghai had been cut off. In other words, trying to get away with political connections was now impossible.
With the Qian family’s vulnerabilities exposed and the evidence in hand, Xiao Yufan believed that Qin Menglu’s father would surely know how to negotiate. What businessman would miss such a golden opportunity?
Therefore, when Xiao Yufan saw Qin Menglu’s father return with a beaming smile, he wasn’t the least bit surprised. It was exactly the scene he had imagined. Without the backing of powerful forces, the Qian family was merely an enterprise with a longer history.
“That old man asked me to give you a message. He said you’ve already gotten what you wanted, and he’s begging you to spare the Qian family…”
Looking at Xiao Yufan, Qin Menglu’s father’s eyes were filled with bewilderment. He didn’t know exactly what status Xiao Yufan held, but clearly the Qian family, a local power in Chenghai, feared him greatly. After all, their operations over the years had been formidable indeed.
“That’s not my problem anymore. However, if the Qian family dares to act so arrogantly, they should be prepared. Not everyone has the capital to show off recklessly.”
Seeing the unusual expression, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head. It seemed the Qian family had also received his master’s warning. His curiosity about his master—whoever he was with such wealth and power—grew even stronger.
Xiao Yufan’s handsome face bore a defiant expression, his audacity fully evident. But now, no one would doubt his strength. Who could have imagined that the Qian family, Chenghai’s former overlord, would lose all their former glory in less than a month?
“Yufan, I know Menglu still resents me. I hope you can help me persuade her. Back then, I was wrong. I just made a foolish mistake…”
Looking at Xiao Yufan, Qin Menglu’s father felt somewhat embarrassed. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Yufan’s appearance, the company would still be struggling to survive. How could he have achieved his current success? In other words, everything he had now was thanks to Xiao Yufan. A few days ago, he had still opposed their relationship, and now he felt a bit ashamed.
“Uncle, you’re being too hard on yourself. I think Menglu’s anger is only temporary. After some time, she’ll forget. Blood is thicker than water; how could she ever sever such familial bonds?”
Originally, Xiao Yufan hadn’t felt particularly warm towards Qin Menglu’s father. But seeing the pitiful look on his face, his heart softened. He could be ruthless towards enemies, but towards those with even a slight connection to him, he just couldn’t bring himself to be harsh.
“I hope so. I just want you to take good care of her. No matter who you are, if one day I see my daughter suffering, I will definitely make you pay!”
After leaving the police station, Xiao Yufan finally snapped out of his shock. Judging from the reaction of the director, his master must have directly approached his superior. If that’s the case, his master is truly formidable…
“Brother Fan, can you tell me what your real identity is? The director of Chenghai City is notoriously cunning. For him to be so flustered, there must be something fishy going on!”
“Well… can I say I don’t know either? This must have been arranged by my master. At least I believe that with my master involved, the so-called Qian family of Chenghai is nothing but a pile of crap…”
“I was just about to celebrate with you, Brother Fan. Can you watch your language?” Qin Menglu shot Xiao Yufan a glance, her expression full of charm. This girl was truly a beauty capable of causing chaos.
Xiao Yufan felt a surge of satisfaction. Qian Yun had finally met his match this time and likely wouldn’t dare to make any more moves. The next step was to completely resolve the trouble with the Qian family, so Qin Menglu could feel at ease returning to Beijing with him.
The commotion at the police station quickly faded, and neither of them brought it up again, though Qin Menglu’s heart remained warm, with Xiao Yufan’s image deeply etched in her memory.
As they walked out of KFC, Xiao Yufan received a multimedia message from Lin Pingle, showing the stock trends of Xingyao Electronics and the IP address he had locked onto. Seeing this, Xiao Yufan’s interest was immediately piqued…
“Let’s see if the Qian family can still deny it this time. Manipulating stocks behind the scenes—even for a family as powerful as the Qians, they should understand the consequences!”
A cold smile curled on his lips. Xiao Yufan had no sympathy for the Qian family of Chenghai. Since they didn’t want to let him off easy, he wouldn’t be too merciful either. He was more than willing to kick them while they were down.
…
Having been in Chenghai for a few days now, Xiao Yufan didn’t want to drag things out. So the next day, he handed over all the evidence Lin Pingle had collected about the Qian family’s underhanded dealings to Qin Menglu’s father.
With this evidence in hand, Qin Menglu’s father finally breathed a sigh of relief. He found himself increasingly fond of Xiao Yufan, who had proven to be a blessing for the entire company.
“The Qian family still has some connections in Chenghai. Even with this evidence, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t worry, leave the rest to me. You just focus on negotiating with the Qian family!”
Xiao Yufan exuded confidence, completely unfazed by the Qian family. If someone else had said this, Qin Menglu’s father might have scoffed, but after hearing about everything that had happened the day before, he realized that Xiao Yufan was far from ordinary.
Xiao Yufan’s confidence stemmed from the fact that his master had already given him a definitive response: all of the Qian family’s connections in Chenghai had been severed. This meant that the Qian family couldn’t rely on their political ties to get out of trouble.
With the Qian family’s weaknesses exposed and the evidence in hand, Xiao Yufan was certain that Qin Menglu’s father would know how to negotiate. What entrepreneur wouldn’t seize such a golden opportunity?
So when Xiao Yufan saw Qin Menglu’s father return with a beaming smile, he wasn’t surprised. This was the outcome he had anticipated. Without their backing, the Qian family was just another long-standing business.
“That old man asked me to pass on a message. He said you’ve already gotten what you wanted, and he hopes you’ll spare the Qian family…”
Qin Menglu’s father looked at Xiao Yufan as if he were some kind of anomaly. He couldn’t fathom what kind of identity Xiao Yufan had that made the Qian family, a dominant force in Chenghai, so fearful. After all, the Qian family’s business operations over the years were no joke.
“That’s not my concern. But since the Qian family dared to act so arrogantly, they should be prepared for the consequences. Not everyone has the right to show off…”
Seeing the strange look in Qin Menglu’s father’s eyes, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head. It seemed the Qian family had also received a warning from his master. His curiosity grew even stronger—what kind of person was his master, who wielded both wealth and influence?
With a face full of arrogance, Xiao Yufan’s boldness was unmistakable. Yet no one would doubt his capabilities now. Who could have imagined that the Qian family, the dominant force in Chenghai, would lose their former glory in less than a month?
“Yufan, I know Menglu still resents me as her father. I hope you can help persuade her. I was wrong back then, and I was just confused for a moment…”
Looking at Xiao Yufan, Qin Menglu’s father felt a bit awkward. If it weren’t for Xiao Yufan’s intervention, the company would still be struggling to survive. How could he be so prosperous now? In other words, all of this was thanks to Xiao Yufan. A few days ago, he had been so opposed to their relationship, and now he felt somewhat embarrassed.
“You’re being too hard on yourself, Uncle. I think Menglu’s anger is only temporary. She’ll forget about it in time. Blood is thicker than water—how could she ever sever that familial bond?”
Originally, Xiao Yufan wasn’t particularly fond of Qin Menglu’s father, but seeing his pitiful expression, his heart softened a bit. He could be ruthless to his enemies, but when it came to people connected to him, he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh.
“I hope so. I just want you to take good care of her. No matter who you are, if I ever see my daughter suffering, I’ll make sure you pay the price!”
“I’ll never let her suffer…”
Xiao Yufan suddenly felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t exactly say that he and Qin Menglu didn’t really have a relationship. If he did, who knows what would happen next…
Xiao Yufan felt a bit of a headache. Right now, he couldn’t possibly tell her father that he and Qin Menglu weren’t actually in a relationship. If he really said that, who knew what would happen next…
