After 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, then his master was simply too impressive.
“Brother Fan, can you tell me exactly who you 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 entirely sure myself? I think it’s probably arranged by my master. At the very least, with my master personally stepping in, those so-called Qian families of Chenghai are just like a pile of crap…”
“I was just thinking of celebrating properly with you, Brother Fan. Could you watch your language a bit?” Qin Menglu gave Xiao Yufan a sidelong glance, her expression exuding charm. This girl was simply a national seductress.
Xiao Yufan felt a surge of exhilaration inside. Qian Yun had finally met his downfall and would likely dare not make any further moves. Next, he would completely eliminate the nuisance of the Qian family, after which this girl, Qin Menglu, could安心accompany him back to Beijing.
The police station incident soon passed, and the two tacitly chose not to mention it again. However, Qin Menglu’s heart remained warmly stirred, with Xiao Yufan’s image 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 their involvement this time. They’ve been manipulating the stock behind the scenes. Even though they’re a powerful family in Chenghai, they should understand the seriousness of the situation!”
A cold smirk curled his lips. He had absolutely no regard for the Chenghai Qian family. Since these people didn’t want him to have an easy time, he naturally couldn’t be too merciful. After all, beating a defenseless opponent 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. Thus, the very next day, he handed all the evidence Lin Pingle had collected 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 in Chenghai. Even with this evidence, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t worry. Leave the rest to me. Uncle, you just need to negotiate terms with the Qian family.”
Xiao Yufan wore an expression of complete confidence, treating the Qian family as if they were nothing. If someone else had said such words, Qin Menglu’s father might have scoffed disdainfully. However, after gathering information from various sources about what had happened the previous day, he realized that Xiao Yufan was not as simple as he appeared…
The reason Xiao Yufan was so confident was because the day before, his master had already given him a definite reply: all of the Qian family’s connections in Chenghai had been severed. In other words, it was now impossible for the Qian family to get away with anything through official channels.
With control over the Qian family’s vulnerabilities and armed with this evidence, Xiao Yufan believed Qin Menglu’s father would definitely know how to conduct negotiations. After all, 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. This was exactly the scene he had imagined. Without backing from powerful forces, the Qian family was merely an enterprise with a slightly longer history.
“That old man asked me to give you a message. He said you’ve already gotten what you wanted and hopes you’ll let the Qian family go…”
Looking at Xiao Yufan, Qin Menglu’s father’s eyes were filled with bewilderment. He didn’t know exactly what kind of identity Xiao Yufan had that made the powerful Qian family of Chenghai so fearful. After all, the Qian family’s operations over the years were no small feat.
“Well, that’s not my concern anymore. However, since the Qian family dared to act so arrogantly, they should have been prepared. Not everyone has the capital to act pretentious…”
Seeing the strange look in the older man’s eyes, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head. It seemed the Qian family had already received his master’s warning. His curiosity about his master—who was both wealthy and influential—grew even stronger. Just what kind of person was this master of his?
His handsome face bore a defiant expression, revealing Xiao Yufan’s audacious side. But now, no one would dare question his abilities. Who could have imagined that the Qian family, once the undisputed overlord of Chenghai, would lose all 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. Back then, I was wrong; I just made a momentary mistake…”
Looking at Xiao Yufan, Qin Menglu’s father felt somewhat embarrassed. If it weren’t for Xiao Yufan’s arrival, the company would still be struggling to survive. How could he have achieved such success? In other words, everything he had now was thanks to Xiao Yufan. A few days ago, he had still been strongly against their relationship, and now he felt a bit ashamed.
“Uncle, you’re being too harsh on yourself. I think Menglu is just temporarily upset. After some time, she’ll forget. Blood is thicker than water; how could she ever sever such familial ties?”
Originally, Xiao Yufan hadn’t felt particularly warm towards Qin Menglu’s father. But seeing the pitiful look on the older man’s face, his heart softened. He could be ruthless towards enemies, but towards those with whom he had some connection, he simply couldn’t harden his heart.
“I hope so. I just wish you could take good care of her. No matter who you are, if one day I see my daughter suffering, I will definitely make you pay!”
“I promise I won’t let her suffer any injustice…”
Xiao Yufan immediately felt a bit overwhelmed. Right now, he couldn’t possibly say that he and Qin Menglu weren’t actually in any kind of relationship. If he did, who knew what would happen next…
