The matters on Qin Gang's side were also quite straightforward, it was merely a matter of money.
As long as the loan money was repaid to the bank, the bank would naturally lift all restrictions.
Including principal and interest, it amounted to just over 1.08 million.
Of this, the principal was one million, and the 80,000 was interest and various fees, making it easy to settle.
After dealing with these matters, his elder brother Qin Yang called, saying that Hai Kuisheng had already transferred the remaining 1.7 million and asked him to check it quickly.
Qin Gang took his bank card to the counter, and upon checking, he found it had indeed arrived, making him very excited.
What was originally a debt of three million, not only was it all recovered, but an additional two million was gained. This deal was very profitable.
Of course, he also clearly understood that all of this was thanks to his younger brother. Without Qin Chuan, let alone receiving five million, the principal of three million would have been lost forever.
He himself would have been burdened with a lifetime of debt, and his entire life would have changed drastically.
Sitting in the car, Qin Gang's expression was complex. He looked up several times, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Brother, we are brothers, there's no need to be so reserved or polite."
Qin Chuan said, "I only hope you take this as a warning and never make similar mistakes again!"
Qin Gang took a deep breath and solemnly said, "I will!"
Qin Chuan looked at the noticeably more mature demeanor of his second brother beside him and felt very relieved. In life, who could have a smooth journey? Hardships are stepping stones to success.
When you reach a certain height and look back, you might even be grateful for those past hardships.
"Brother, it's not that I want to dampen your spirits, but we're leaving Jinling City after we go back. How do you plan to deal with that woman, Cao Yuqing?"
Qin Chuan suddenly said.
"Are you just going to leave so easily, letting that woman off the hook?"
The pain Cao Yuqing caused Qin Gang was far beyond financial; it also involved emotions.
Of course, Qin Chuan didn't understand the emotional aspect well, so he wouldn't comment. However, the amounts involved in these two scams, totaling three million, could not be overlooked so easily.
Even if Qin Gang, out of past affection, wanted to deal with it leniently, Qin Chuan would absolutely not agree.
Qin Gang lowered his head and remained silent.
"Could it be that you still hold onto a sliver of hope, wishing that Cao Yuqing woman would reform and you could get back together?"
Qin Chuan asked, his eyes wide.
"No! I absolutely do not!"
This time, Qin Gang immediately looked up and said decisively.
"I have completely broken off with her!"
"It will never be possible in the future!"
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. If his second brother still harbored feelings for Cao Yuqing, then he would be utterly disappointed.
"However, Xiao Chuan, if you want me to deal with her, I... I really don't know what to do?"
Qin Gang hesitated, and finally, gritting his teeth, spoke his true thoughts.
Qin Chuan understood his second brother's feelings at the moment. After all, this was arguably his first love. As the saying goes, first love is hard to forget, and one can't forget their first love. Qin Gang must have put his true heart and feelings into this relationship.
It was a pity, however, that he met the wrong person. She wasn't even interested in dating him; it was all a scheme.
"Then... what do you mean by that? Do you need my help?"
Qin Chuan asked.
Qin Gang's expression was extremely conflicted. He was well aware of his younger brother's methods. This seemingly harmless fellow was actually incredibly ruthless. He was loyal and righteous towards his own people, but extremely cruel towards his enemies.
If Cao Yuqing were truly handed over to Qin Chuan for handling, he really didn't know what the outcome would be.
Yet, if he didn't hand her over to Qin Chuan and had to deal with it himself, he wouldn't know what to do.
Thus, Qin Gang was in a dilemma all the way. By the time they were nearing their destination, he still hadn't made up his mind.
Qin Chuan didn't rush him; instead, he got out of the car with a blank expression.
At the abandoned fertilizer plant, Bai Xiaoguang and Qin Yang stood guard like sentinels. Upon seeing Qin Chuan get out of the car, their expressions became excited.
"Xiao Chuan, you finished your business so quickly?"
Qin Yang asked with concern.
"Yes, everything has been settled."
"Let's go, we'll go see them."
Pushing open a dilapidated warehouse, it was dark, damp, and gloomy inside. It was indeed difficult for that well-known couple.
"Brother Qin!"
Hai Kuisheng, upon seeing Qin Chuan appear, seemed more overjoyed than if he had seen his own mother. His eyes were filled with excitement.
Beside him, Zhang Yuying and Cao Yuqing also had flickering eyes.
"Is everything taken care of?"
Hai Kuisheng asked.
"It is!"
Qin Chuan replied with a smile and took out a pack of cigarettes, handing one to each person.
As he passed by Cao Yuqing, Qin Chuan's dark eyes paused slightly. The pressure he exuded in that instant made Cao Yuqing's heart pound uncontrollably, and she dared not meet his gaze.
Honestly, she had met many men over the years and had interacted with many wealthy businessmen, but no one had ever made Cao Yuqing feel such immense pressure.
Especially this time, Qin Chuan, with only a few people, had managed to capture her biggest backer, the renowned Lord Hai of Jinling City, Hai Kuisheng, leaving him like a stranded great white shark, completely unable to bare his fangs or open his mouth.
Cao Yuqing had already heard Qin Chuan say he had finished his business. The next step would surely be her turn. Thinking of her uncertain fate, Cao Yuqing became increasingly fearful and uneasy.
"Lord Hai, Madam Hai, come over here. I have something to show you both."
After finishing his cigarette, Qin Chuan called Hai Kuisheng and Zhang Yuying outside and then took out the ledger that Ma Xiaolian had given him.
When the Hai Kuisheng couple saw the contents of the ledger, their faces drastically changed.
This time, it was a genuine change, just like when they were first taken hostage last night.
"Where is that slut?!"
Soon, Hai Kuisheng stared intently at Qin Chuan and asked.
He was very smart and had directly inferred the true owner of this ledger.
Deep within Zhang Yuying's eyes, a fierce aura also surged.
"Accountant Ma left this morning. You don't need to look for her. She will be fleeing the country with her entire family. All of this was forced upon her by me."
Qin Chuan said, taking all the responsibility upon himself. After all, Ma Xiaolian had indeed helped him greatly this time. One could say that without Ma Xiaolian, this trip to Jinling City would not have gone so smoothly.
"As long as everyone is safe this time, this ledger will remain quietly in my drawer and never see the light of day."
"Two, what do you think?"
Hai Kuisheng and Zhang Yuying's faces were filled with fluctuating emotions. If looks could kill, Qin Chuan would have been riddled with holes at this moment.
This feeling of having one's fatal weakness held by another was extremely unpleasant.
After a long, long while, Hai Kuisheng took a deep breath and a smile reappeared on his face.
He looked at Qin Chuan with inexplicable emotion and said with a bitter smile, "People always say that the younger generation surpasses the older, and each generation is stronger than the last. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally do!"
"My downfall this time, Hai Kuisheng, is not undeserved. I, Hai, am very impressed by Brother Qin's methods!"
Qin Chuan smiled upon hearing this, "You flatter me. It's all for the sake of making a living!"
"However, before I leave, I still have a small matter to trouble you two with."
Zhang Yuying asked guardedly, "What is it?"
"Cao Yuqing!"
Qin Chuan said directly, "This woman cheated my second brother terribly this time. And all the money this time was paid by you. I think, even without me saying it, you will surely get it back from her afterward, right?"
Hai Kuisheng and Zhang Yuying remained silent.
"I hope your methods can be even more ruthless. Since she is willing to be a slut, a prostitute, then let her walk this path to the very end!"
Inside the dilapidated warehouse, a group of people waited anxiously, not knowing what was happening outside.
Only when Qin Chuan and the Hai Kuisheng couple returned did everyone slightly relax.
Cao Yuqing was the most nervous. Her eyes were filled with apprehension and uncertainty. She glanced several times at Qin Gang nearby, with a hint of pleading, but Qin Gang averted his gaze, deliberately pretending not to see.
At this moment, Qin Chuan's sharp gaze swept over, startling Cao Yuqing into lowering her head quickly, her heart pounding almost out of her chest.
Suddenly, Cao Yuqing heard a gasp and instinctively looked up, only to see two men, like wolves and tigers, strike each person on the neck with a chop of their hand. Everyone who was struck fell limply.
Cao Yuqing was no exception; her consciousness soon faded into unconsciousness.
"Brother Qin, what are you doing?"
The remaining Hai Kuisheng couple was startled, not knowing what Qin Chuan intended to do next.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Lord Hai, don't panic. I'm just making you unconscious for a little while. You'll regain consciousness once we're out of Jinling City."
Hai Kuisheng and Zhang Yuying: "..."
At this moment, they truly had the urge to tear this smiling young man in front of them to pieces.
Where in the world could one find such a person? They had already reached an agreement, to mind their own business, and yet, before leaving, he pulls this stunt on them. It was truly outrageous!
It was a pity, however, that they had no power to resist and were both knocked unconscious in succession.
Looking at everyone lying on the ground, Qin Chuan then said, "Let's go!"
