"Qin Fan!"
With tears streaming down his face, Old Master Qin instinctively reached for Qin Fan’s ankle.
But Qin Fan agilely dodged. He scoffed, "Save it. You can tell my grandmother yourself when you see her in the afterlife."
After speaking, he sniffled, took a deep breath, and strode forward again.
However, as he passed Qin Jie and Qin Moran, he suddenly stopped. "Thank you for the kindness you showed back then," he said slowly. "I know. I know it all."
"Qin Fan, I hate you! I hate you!" Qin Moran wept, her voice laced with hatred as she clenched her fists.
"Hate all you want, but don’t go looking for death. I won’t show you any rcy just because you were once kind. The fact that you and your father can stand here safely today is a blessing of Creation! I hope you don’t choose to throw that away."
With a slow smile, his heart as still as water, Qin Fan strode past the hundreds of trembling eyes, walking off the birthday dais and heading out.
On this day, Old Madam Qin bled to death!
On this day, the nurous descendants of the Qin family, save for Qin Jie and his daughter, were rounded up in a single sweep!
On this day, Old Master Qin knelt on the birthday dais, tasting the bitter fruit of a fate worse than death.
On this day, the Qin family’s tree fell, and the monkeys scattered.
After today, the Qin family would be no more in Jiangzhou!
***
With Qin Fan’s departure, the shocking events of the birthday banquet swept through Jiangzhou, Lingnan, and all of Huaxia like a hurricane.
Countless people who heard the news found it impossible to believe, dismissing it all as baseless rumors.
A prestigious family that had been a pillar of Jiangzhou for decades, one on the verge of surpassing even the Ye Family—toppled just like that? Wiped out in an instant? How was that possible?!
But soon, as confirmations ca in from various sources, the news sent the elite circles of Huaxia into an uproar!
Qin Fan, the abandoned son of the Qin family, made his na known throughout the nation’s elite on this day!
As the news spread like wildfire, a scene of disbelief unfolded on the 28th floor of the Ti Building, inside Number One Limited.
Ma Yunbin was stunned!
Ye Jizu was flabbergasted!
Qin Chu and his wife were dumbfounded!
"Old Madam Qin is dead. Qin Jun and Qin Yuanbin are crippled. The entire Qin family, except for Qin Jie, Qin Moran, and the Old Master, has been rounded up by the Law Enforcent Team! Investigation teams have seized all of the Qin family’s assets! This... this is the definition of pulling the rug out from under them!" Ma Yunbin put down his phone, muttering to himself in a daze.
His face turned deathly pale. He had expected Qin Fan to move against the Qin family, but to see them hollowed out and destroyed in a single blow was far beyond his imagination. It was just as the saying goes: he had guessed the beginning but never could have predicted the end.
"Qin Chu, call Qin Fan quickly!" At that mont, Wei Shuying felt no thrill of vengeance, only an inexplicable, rising panic.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Qin Chu swallowed hard, his face pale as he stamred his agreent and frantically pulled out his phone.
First, the call went unanswered. Then, it couldn’t connect. Finally, the phone was off.
"He’s not answering!" Qin Chu said, his voice trembling.
"Qin Chu, do you think he’s going to keep going?" Wei Shuying asked in shock, her legs feeling weak.
What frightened her wasn’t the Qin family’s downfall. It was that Qin Fan had brought a large, red coffin as a birthday gift. No matter how deep the grudge, how could he do sothing like that? Such an act would shorten one’s life and incur divine retribution!
Of course, Qin Fan had no idea what his mother was thinking. If he did, he would have scoffed.
Divine retribution? As if I haven’t faced enough of that already.
BEEP! BEEP!
The mont Wei Shuying finished speaking, her phone chid with a text ssage. As if she knew it had to be from Qin Fan, her hands trembled as she imdiately opened it. Sure enough, it was from him.
"Dad, Mom, don’t look for . I need to go out and clear my head. Really, don’t look for again."
His words were few, but his tone was resolute.
Reading the ssage, Wei Shuying and Qin Chu instinctively exchanged a look.
A mont later, Wei Shuying gave a bitter smile. "Forget it. Let him be."
Qin Chu nodded with a somber expression, the complex emotions on his face plain to see.
As if by silent agreent, neither of them ntioned the Qin family. This greatly puzzled Ye Jizu and Ma Yunbin, who knew of the feud.
After leaving the Qin estate, Qin Fan abandoned the dilapidated old van.
He began to walk aimlessly. He lost track of how long he had been walking, his mind completely clear of the incident with the Qin family. After wandering for so ti, he eventually found himself outside the gates of the Lingnan Fengshui Association.
The Lingnan Fengshui Association?
He looked up at the flamboyant calligraphy on the sign, slightly startled, then stepped inside.
"Master Qin!"
"Master Qin!"
"Master Qin!"
Thanks to the trouble he’d caused at the last conference, Qin Fan was now quite famous throughout the entire Geomancy Association. Through word of mouth, almost everyone in the association, from the chairman down to the cleaning staff, recognized this titan whom even the great Lai Shenxiang treated with deference.
As he walked, the title of "Master Qin" followed him without pause.
To this, Qin Fan rely offered a faint nod in reply, his stern face betraying no emotion.
Using his Divine Sense to feel for the man’s aura, he pinpointed Lai Zhuge’s location.
Qin Fan strode into the elevator.
In a large study filled with maps and various feng shui implents, Lai Zhuge was engrossed in an ancient to.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Lai Zhuge imdiately frowned. Though he was generally even-tempered and not easily angered, he had a strict rule that no one was to disturb him when his study door was closed. Everyone in the association knew this. Yet here soone was, shattering his concentration.
An invisible wave of irritation rose within him.
He looked up, about to deliver a sharp rebuke, only to see that the visitor was Qin Fan!
His annoyance vanished instantly, replaced by incredulous delight!
"Master Qin, it’s you! How did you find your way here?" Lai Zhuge hurriedly put down his book and scurried over, his face beaming with a respectful smile.
"Do you have a mont?" Qin Fan asked with a slight smile, forgoing any pleasantries.
"Yes, yes, of course!" Even if he didn’t have ti, he’d make ti for Qin Fan. Lai Zhuge agreed instantly, without a mont’s hesitation, before adding, "Master Qin, is there sothing I can help you with?"
"Co with to Macau," Qin Fan said directly.
To Macau?
"Master Qin, what for?" Lai Zhuge asked, puzzled.
The words were barely out of his mouth when he rembered sothing. His expression instantly grew alard.
"To collect a debt," Qin Fan said, a sly, playful glint in his eyes and a smirk on his lips.
