Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 460: Wang Yao’s Crisis
Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Wang Yao’s Crisis
Yang Gang saw that Qin Long still had a troubled look on his face and continued to persuade him, "Plus, think about it, even if your son is infertile, aren’t you still healthy and strong? With your physique, having another child definitely won’t be a problem. The Qin family won’t be left without heirs."
When Qin Long heard this, he was slightly startled, and then a glint appeared in his eyes, filled with despair, as if he had an epiphany.
That’s right, just because my son can’t have children doesn’t mean I can’t. If I had another ten or eight children, wouldn’t my Qin family still thrive?
Once he understood this point, Qin Long stopped being troubled. After all, it was indeed his son who had done wrong, and his anger was mainly because he wanted to regain some face due to his status in Jade River County.
But the county chief had personally said that Chen Fan was a holder of the Huaxia Divine Dragon Card, and he knew what that card was. Only those with a net worth of hundreds of billions were eligible to own it.
Moreover, Yang Gang also mentioned that Chen Fan was the War God of the War Zone. Either of these identities, by themselves, was more than enough to intimidate him, a mere mall owner.
Yang Gang had come in person to persuade him, probably at Chen Fan’s behest.
Since they had already offered him a way out, if he still didn’t know what was good for him, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
After realizing this, Yang Gang took a deep breath, looked at Chen Fan with a face full of regret, then bowed deeply to him and sincerely said, "Mr. Chen, I apologize. I was utterly foolish before. My son had the audacity to covet your girlfriend, and you rightly disciplined him. Yet, I blindly thought to demand justice for such a beast. I must have been kicked in the head by a mule. It’s my good fortune that you’re willing to give me this chance."
"Now, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Chen. It’s my son’s fault that he’s being punished, and I have no complaints. In fact, I think the punishment isn’t harsh enough. I hope Mr. Chen will be magnanimous and refrain from holding a grudge against our Qianda Mall. I’m truly grateful!"
A smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face as he said, "If you think the punishment isn’t enough, I can break another one of his hands."
Qin Long’s face stiffened, and he stood there, not knowing what to say.
Chen Fan laughed, "I’m just kidding with you, don’t take it seriously."
Qin Long finally breathed a sigh of relief and an awkward smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Chen, you really have a sense of humor." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Qin Hao was dumbfounded by this outcome. He didn’t know what the county chief had told his father, and yet his father had actually apologized to Chen Fan directly.
This man was the culprit who had cut off the heirs of the old Qin family!
Dissatisfied, Qin Hao asked Qin Long, "Dad, it was clearly he who ended the lineage of the Qin family, so why did you end up apologizing to him?"
Qin Long glared at him, "Shut your mouth! Now go and apologize to Mr. Chen and his girlfriend, otherwise I will kick you out of the Qin family right now!"
Qin Hao’s eyes widened, "Dad..."
Qin Long scolded, "So you really want to be thrown out of the Qin family, huh? You’re a disabled man now. If you leave the Qin family, you should know what will become of you!"
Qin Hao, hearing that his father was not joking, quickly looked at Chen Fan and An Lan, bowing while saying, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I won’t dare to do it again..."
Qin Long then turned to Chen Fan, his face full of a forced smile, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Since you’ve both recognized your mistakes, let’s consider this matter settled. However, you should still discipline your son. If he does something like this again and I find out about it, you should be aware of the consequences."
Qin Long quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I will certainly heed your advice."
Chen Fan turned to Yang Gang, "County Chief Yang, the billion yuan I promised to donate to your county will be transferred to your account soon. Also, I would appreciate it if you could supervise this young man of the Qin family. If he causes any trouble, please notify me immediately."
Yang Gang smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, Mr. Chen, I’ve got this covered."
Chen Fan then looked at An Lan, "Let’s go."
However, An Lan went up to Lao Cai, looking fierce, and demanded, "Give me back my watch!"
Lao Cai, with a bitter face and trembling, fished out a watch from his clothes and handed it to An Lan.
After receiving and confirming that it was indeed her watch, An Lan was overjoyed and said to Lao Cai, "Consider those thirty thousand yuan a lesson for you."
She then left Qianda Mall together with Chen Fan.
No sooner had the two of them left than Qin Hao asked Qin Long with a puzzled face, "Dad, why did you kowtow to that guy?"
Qin Long said irritatedly, "The man’s worth hundreds of billions and is also the War God of the War Zone. Do you think we can afford to provoke him?"
Qin Hao sucked in a breath of cold air, "Is he that powerful?"
Yang Gang, with a stern face, said, "What else did you think?"
Qin Hao swallowed and only then understood why his father’s attitude had suddenly become so respectful; nevertheless, he still felt unreconciled, "Dad, no matter how powerful that guy is, he still cut off the lineage of our Qin family. This is an unforgivable feud!"
Qin Long glanced at him and said, "Who told you our Qin family’s lineage is cut off?"
Qin Hao hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you have a way to cure me?"
Qin Long coughed lightly, "No, that’s not it, but just because you can’t produce an heir for the Qin family doesn’t mean I can’t. Your mother has been dead for many years, and to show my fidelity to her, I haven’t remarried. But now, for the sake of the Qin family’s heirs, I have no choice but to marry again."
He turned his head to look at the sexy female secretary and asked, "Xiao Zhang, would you be willing to marry me?"
The female secretary immediately blushed, "Willing."
Qin Hao’s eyes widened in shock, "You two..."
Qin Long said, "You heard it. For the sake of carrying on the Qin family lineage, I need to find a wife immediately. Fortunately, Zhang is attracted to my charm and is willing to marry me. Since that’s the case, we might as well go get our marriage certificate. It saves me the trouble of looking for someone else."
Qin Hao was no fool. He guessed that his father and the female secretary might have been involved for some time. He pointed at the secretary, his face flushed with anger, "You vixen, how dare you seduce my father!"
Qin Long slapped Qin Hao across the face, "Watch your mouth. She is your future stepmother!"
Qin Hao could not hold back his tears, "You heartless man, you promised to remain single for my mother’s sake for the rest of your life!"
Qin Long glared at him, "And that was all because of you. If you could carry on the Qin family name, I wouldn’t need to marry again. But can you? Can you?"
Qin Hao cried even harder.
...
On the way back.
An Lan was in high spirits, running up to Chen Fan, "You saved me once again. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have definitely been violated. Don’t you think I should..."
Chen Fan said firmly, "You shouldn’t."
An Lan hummed in disappointment and then said, "But this time the danger I encountered was for your sake. Don’t you think you owe me some compensation?"
Chen Fan nodded, "Indeed."
An Lan immediately smiled, wanting Chen Fan to compensate her physically.
But she heard Chen Fan say, "Only in terms of money."
An Lan was furious and didn’t want to bother with this guy anymore.
The two made their way back to Wang Yao’s home.
As soon as they reached the front door, they saw Wang Yao sitting under a tree near the entrance, her eyes red and incessantly wiping away tears, while a BMW was parked by the door.
Chen Fan and An Lan exchanged glances upon seeing this and realized that something must have happened. They quickly walked over to Wang Yao.
"Wang Yao, what’s going on? Why are you sitting here crying?" An Lan asked with concern.
Wang Yao looked up, saw Chen Fan and An Lan, and, feeling utterly wronged, stood up and threw herself into An Lan’s arms, "Sister An Lan, my life is so miserable."
An Lan quickly patted her back, comforting her, "Don’t get upset. Tell your sister what happened. I’ll help you."
Wang Yao sobbed, "My dad... my dad is selling me off to be a concubine to some ugly man, to bear his children."
An Lan’s expression changed, "A concubine? What do you mean? Are such customs still practiced here?"
Chen Fan was also surprised, thinking to himself that it was the 21st century, and yet the talk of concubines still existed, which was astonishing.
Wang Yao, while sobbing, recounted the whole story.
It turned out that five years ago, Wang Dequan, due to an urgent need for money, borrowed fifty thousand yuan from his friend Zhang Dechou. At the time, Zhang Guoliang made Wang Dequan sign a very complicated loan contract.
Wang Dequan, not highly educated, thought it was just an IOU, reasoning that Zhang Dechou was his friend and wouldn’t cheat him, so he didn’t overthink it and signed the contract.
Over the next few years, Wang Dequan managed to scrape together fifty thousand yuan and wanted to repay Zhang Dechou, but Zhang Dechou flatly refused to take the money, claiming he didn’t need it at the moment and told Wang Dequan to spend it first.
Wang Dequan was very grateful for Zhang Dechou’s behavior, feeling that his good friend was understanding of his difficulties, so he appreciated it.
But Wang Dequan never expected that Zhang Dechou would suddenly come knocking today, demanding to take Wang Yao away with the contract that Wang Dequan had signed at the beginning.
Wang Dequan was confused, but Zhang Dechou explained that it was a loan contract with compound interest that had grown to millions over five years. The contract clearly stated that if Wang Dequan could not repay the money after five years, he would have to pledge his daughter to Zhang Dechou as a concubine to bear him at least three children.
Only then did Wang Dequan realize he had been scammed, that Zhang Dechou had been eyeing his daughter from the start and had deliberately stopped him from repaying so that after five years, he could get a virgin bride for nothing.
Even if Wang Dequan was unwilling, he could still be forced to pay Zhang Dechou millions in compensation.
Wang Dequan regretted his ignorance but had no solution, and he certainly could not afford to pay Zhang Dechou millions. At that moment, he had almost agreed to let Wang Yao bear children for Zhang Dechou.
Wang Yao felt extremely wronged. She was in the prime of her youth and was suddenly forced to become someone’s concubine and bear their children, which was unacceptable to anyone. Hence, she ran crying to the doorstep.
"That Zhang Dechou is now thriving, having become a department manager at Qianda Mall with wide connections. If my father refuses, he will leverage his connections against my father, making it impossible for him to continue his life here. Sister An Lan, what should I do?"
Wang Yao then burst into An Lan’s arms, crying even harder.
An Lan turned to look at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan said earnestly, "I never thought that in today’s society, there would still be people doing such despicable things. Rest assured, I will take care of this for you, and no one will dare to touch you!"
