"Son?" Qiao Zhengye scoffed.
He then pointed at Qiao Can and said, "I don't have a son like him! I'm telling you, I'm not exaggerating. If this matter isn't resolved properly today, our entire family will be ruined!"
Qiao Can was stunned, looking at Qiao Zhengye in disbelief.
It was the first time he had ever seen his lawyer father so furious.
The middle-aged woman remained unconcerned. "Old Qiao, what are you afraid of? Aren't you on very good terms with Mr. Luo? You're even planning to cooperate with him on business. Is there anything in this Muyang County that Mr. Luo can't handle?"
"Slap!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhengye angrily raised his hand and slapped the middle-aged woman across the face again.
The middle-aged woman's eyes widened. "Qiao Zhengye, that's enough! You dare hit me? Do you believe I'll divorce you!"
"Divorce, is that right? Fine, I agree!" Qiao Zhengye retorted, his anger boiling over.
The middle-aged woman was dumbfounded. She had only spoken out of anger, never expecting Qiao Zhengye to actually agree.
Qiao Zhengye continued, "Do you know who your son has provoked? Mr. Luo's son also provoked that person before. Later, Mr. Luo personally crippled his own son and paid millions in compensation before the other party was appeased."
"What!"
The middle-aged woman's face was filled with horror. "This, how is this possible!"
Who was Luo Zhenyong? He was the underworld boss of Muyang County!
"Mr. Luo was with me just now. Do you know what Mr. Luo said to me?" Qiao Zhengye asked again.
The middle-aged woman shook her head, looking blank.
"Mr. Luo said that if he hadn't crippled his own son at the time, then his entire Luo Zhenyong family would have disappeared!"
Boom!
These words struck the middle-aged woman's ears like thunder!
"H, husband, are, are you telling the truth?" The middle-aged woman was completely panicked.
Qiao Zhengye's expression was cold. "No matter how much he messes around usually, I'd at most scold him. Can't you tell if I'm telling the truth?"
"Thump!"
With a soft sound, the middle-aged woman's legs gave out, and she slumped to the ground.
Now, her eyes were filled with fear. "H, husband, then, what do we do now!"
"What do we do? Now you know to ask me what to do?!"
"When I wanted to discipline him, and you stopped me and protected him, why didn't you think about what to do now!"
Qiao Zhengye berated her furiously.
The middle-aged woman dared not speak further, slumping on the ground and sobbing continuously.
Qiao Zhengye's gaze fell upon Qiao Can. "You beast, tell me everything that happened, from beginning to end. Not a single strand of hair can be omitted!"
As a lawyer, Qiao Zhengye wanted to find any useful clues.
Qiao Can was completely bewildered by what he had heard so far.
He couldn't imagine that the young man could be such a powerful figure. "Dad, are you mistaken? That kid looks younger than me, how could he be so formidable."
As soon as Qiao Zhengye heard Qiao Can dare to retort, his face instantly turned extremely grim. He pulled out his belt from his waist.
"You beast, you're facing death and still haven't repented! Today, I'll teach you a good lesson!"
Saying this, Qiao Zhengye began to swing his belt.
"Ouch, ah!"
The entire hospital room was filled with Qiao Can's piercing screams.
"Dad, I'll talk, I'll talk, please stop hitting me, Dad, I'll say everything!" Qiao Can cried out in pain.
Qiao Zhengye stopped only after he was tired of hitting.
Qiao Can, in tears, recounted everything that had happened that day.
As he listened, Qiao Zhengye's expression grew increasingly grim.
Pointing at Qiao Can, his finger trembled with anger. "You, you idiot! Didn't you even use your brain to think? Someone who can produce a hundred million yuan, how could you possibly offend them?!"
Qiao Zhengye couldn't help but curse.
Qiao Can looked wronged. "When he gave me the money, he didn't intend to let me off. I asked him for ninety million, and he gave me a hundred million, saying that the extra ten million was for my inconvenience."
"Dad, who, who is this person? Is, is he really that powerful?" Qiao Can asked cautiously.
Now, he also felt that his father might not be exaggerating.
"I don't know who he is either, but Mr. Luo said that the background of this person is something even he wouldn't dare to offend, let alone us. Perhaps, our entire family might die." Qiao Zhengye's expression was extremely grim.
"Dad, I don't want to die, Dad, I'm still young, I really don't want to die." Qiao Can finally panicked, crying out incessantly.
"Old Qiao, think of a way. H, how about asking Mr. Luo for help, to put in a good word?" The middle-aged woman also said nervously.
Qiao Zhengye said coldly, "To avoid implicating him, Mr. Luo has already terminated our cooperation! Do you think Mr. Luo will speak up for us?"
"Then, then what do we do?" Qiao Can cried uncontrollably.
If he were given another chance to start over, he wouldn't dare to provoke those people even with a hundred times the courage.
"Guards!" Qiao Zhengye called out.
Several bodyguards walked in from outside the door.
"Take him away and bring him to apologize to that gentleman!" Qiao Zhengye instructed.
Following this, another round of screams erupted.
Qiao Can was forcibly carried out of the hospital by several bodyguards.
Meanwhile, at Feng Qin's small shop.
Liu Bao also returned from the hospital.
He had originally intended to help, but upon entering, he saw that the entire restaurant was empty.
After inquiring, he learned that someone had come to cause trouble at the shop.
This made Liu Bao very angry.
Hearing that Chen Mo had stepped in to teach those people a lesson, he hurried to the lounge to thank Chen Mo.
Chen Mo and Ren Zixin had already finished eating.
Especially Ren Zixin, her belly was visibly full.
Rubbing her distended abdomen, she gave Feng Qin a thumbs-up. "Xiao Qin, the claypot dishes at your place are too delicious. If I lived here, I'd probably get fat in no time."
Feng Qin smiled. "Then come eat every day. My food doesn't make you gain weight."
Ren Zixin sighed. "It's a pity, I have to go home tomorrow."
"So soon?" Feng Qin looked surprised.
"Yes, there are things to attend to at home. Otherwise, I'd love to stay a few more days." As she spoke, Ren Zixin's gaze shifted to Chen Mo.
Feng Qin couldn't help but chuckle. "I think Sister Ren doesn't want to eat my food, but rather can't bear to part with someone, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ren Zixin's face immediately turned red, and she then glanced at Chen Mo, who was drinking with Liu Bao.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be paying attention to them, Ren Zixin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, Feng Ketian walked in in a flustered manner.
