This reply not only shocked Min Ziqiong's father but also Min Ziqiong herself.
In Min Ziqiong's opinion, although her father had some flaws, he was generally a person with principles.
She never expected that her mother's body was barely cold, and her father was already fantasizing about marrying another wife!
Meanwhile, Ying Chen appeared as if he had expected this and chuckled lightly.
Neither Min Ziqiong nor her father noticed that Ying Chen had flicked his finger towards Min Ziqiong's mother's corpse moments before.
And it was this flick that revived Min Ziqiong's mother, who had fallen unconscious.
However, Min Ziqiong's mother could only hear and not move.
So, even though she heard her father's statement and was almost enraged, she couldn't voice any opinion or impose any sanctions on him.
She could only lie on the ground and let her father continue to indulge in his beautiful fantasies.
"Ying Chen, are you serious about what you just said?"
"Are you really willing to hand over the distribution and technology of Shenjing as compensation to me?"
"If that's the case, I might consider not holding you responsible. After all, my wife also made a mistake earlier; she did say she didn't want to live. You can't be considered first-degree murder, at most it's involuntary manslaughter."
"Then I'll issue a letter of understanding, and you won't even have to go to jail and can be absolved of responsibility! Of course, this is if the police find out. If they don't, we'll declare to the outside world that your wife died by suicide."
"You give me the Shenjing formula and technology first, and I'll cremate your wife's body right after! I guarantee there will be no evidence of the crime!"
Min Ziqiong's father had clearly fallen into the beautiful trap that Ying Chen had woven for him.
Not only did he not blame Ying Chen, but he even proactively helped Ying Chen brainstorm ways to evade responsibility.
Seeing this, Min Ziqiong's eyes glinted with a mixture of anger and shame, and she wanted to say something.
But Ying Chen quietly stopped her.
Ying Chen stepped forward, took Min Ziqiong's father's hand, and said, "Thank you, Uncle! I didn't expect you to be so considerate of me! Even without this matter concerning Auntie, I would still be willing to give you the Shenjing formula and technology! What's the saying? A scholar dies for his confidant! Uncle, you are my confidant!"
Upon hearing that Ying Chen had even called him "Uncle," Min Ziqiong's father instantly understood: this was a done deal! Ying Chen was completely in his grasp!
After all, despite his repeated requests for Ying Chen to be more polite and respectful before, Ying Chen had never called him Uncle.
Now, wasn't Ying Chen's action a clear sign of his submission?
"That's right, confidants, we are confidants! But the longer we delay, the more problems arise. Your aunt's body can't stay here forever. Look..."
Min Ziqiong's father's meaning was obvious: he wanted Ying Chen to quickly hand over the Shenjing formula and technology, and then leave.
Ying Chen slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. We got so engrossed in conversation that I forgot about the main business!"
"Uncle, please wait, I'll get the Shenjing formula and technology for you right now!"
With that, Ying Chen rushed back into the house.
In the blink of an eye, Ying Chen returned with a bottle of solution.
"Uncle, this is the lowest-grade Yuan Liquid of Shenjing! This paper contains the formula, please keep it safe."
"Also, I must remind you: if you plan to cooperate with outsiders for this product, the formula is your most important bargaining chip. You must not hand it over to outsiders casually."
Min Ziqiong's father's eyes gleamed. He took the bottle containing the solution and the paper with the formula, nodding repeatedly, "I understand, I understand! I've lived most of my life, how could I not understand such a simple principle? Don't worry!"
"Well, I'll go home first to put these two things away. As for your aunt's body, it can be temporarily stored here. Tomorrow morning, I'll arrange for a cremation vehicle to take her away!"
Min Ziqiong's father left with a face full of joy.
He had completely abandoned his wife's body in the villa.
He didn't even look back until he had driven out of the villa and disappeared into the night.
"Mr. Ying, what exactly are you up to? How could you actually give the Shenjing formula to my dad?" Min Ziqiong looked at Ying Chen and asked, puzzled.
Ying Chen glanced at Min Ziqiong's mother's "corpse" and said deliberately, "I killed someone. If I don't want to go to jail, this is the only way. I have no other choice!"
"You also know what kind of person your dad is. Without enough benefits, how could he let me off?"
"Let him have it! At worst, like those two cola companies you mentioned, our company and your father's company will compete in the future!"
"By the way, your mother's body being here is a bit creepy. Why don't you drive her back to the Min family? Isn't it said that fallen leaves return to their roots? Let your mother stay at home for a couple of days, see her living environment, and let her dissipate her grievances, lest she turn into a vengeful ghost and come back to haunt us."
After speaking, Ying Chen winked at Min Ziqiong.
Min Ziqiong initially didn't understand, but when she looked at the "corpse" on the ground and saw her mother's chest slightly rising and falling, she immediately understood!
So, her mother wasn't dead at all!
So, Qin Ying had deliberately played a trick!
Needless to say, her mother must have heard all of her father's statements and words just now.
Ying Chen wasn't asking her to let her mother return to her roots; he was clearly asking her to let her mother go home to seek revenge!
To seek revenge on her father!
However, Min Ziqiong didn't hesitate or refuse. She immediately nodded and said, "You make sense. Fallen leaves returning to their roots is our tradition in Longguo. As a daughter, I should ensure my mother has a peaceful final journey without regrets."
"Then I'll take my mother home. As for the Shenjing formula, there really isn't a better way. Fortunately, the person who took the formula wasn't a stranger, but my dad. I hope that in the future when our two companies compete, there will be less infighting and more harmony."
Meanwhile, Min Ziqiong's mother on the ground absorbed every word of the conversation between Ying Chen and Min Ziqiong.
She was both angry at the heartlessness and disloyalty of Min Ziqiong and her husband, and delighted that Ying Chen had actually handed over the Shenjing formula!
She had even started thinking about the future competition between the two companies!
This fully indicated that the formula Ying Chen handed over was genuine and not fake!
Then wouldn't she be rich?
All she had to do was quietly wait for her daughter to take her home, and then she could unleash her might and teach that ungrateful, heartless old scumbag a lesson!
Soon, the car started and drove out of the gate.
Ying Chen watched the receding taillights of the car, a smirk appearing on his lips.
It was likely that a good show would unfold at the Min residence tonight!
And neither Min Ziqiong's mother nor her father could have ever imagined that the culprit who triggered this good show was just a bottle of bathwater!
A bottle of real bathwater!
