Yuan Qingshan's heart trembled violently.
What kind of joke is this?
He had assud his father was just trying to scare him, but upon seeing Yuan Tianlong's grave and terrified expression, a sudden tightness gripped his heart. Even his breathing montarily ceased.
He's killed more people than I've ever even t. Then, who could this person be?
Yuan Tianlong patted Yuan Qingshan's shoulder. "After you leave, you are not to return on your own without my permission! Also, no matter what bad news you hear, you must act as if nothing happened."
These words sounded almost like a final testant, leaving Yuan Qingshan feeling both angry and lost.
When had his father ever been so pessimistic?
HUFF.
Yuan Qingshan took a deep breath. "Dad, if you really think we're no match for him, let's just forget about it and go back together."
"This is a blood feud over the murder of my son. We cannot live under the sa sky. How can we just let it go?" Yuan Tianlong stared toward the main gate. Although the vehicle had long since departed, his eyes still flashed with a cold light. "A few old friends have arrived recently, also drawn by the prescription. Since we share a common enemy, I will naturally consult with them. Yes, he is very strong! But when our multinational pharmaceutical corporations band together, we are not weak either!"
Despite his words, Yuan Tianlong showed little confidence. The impact of that earlier gaze had been far too great.
In the end, he waved his hand. "Go on. Put your brother in this coffin."
The other attendees at the funeral were left dumbfounded. They all thought today's funeral would be a grand affair; who could have imagined it would end like this? After that, no one dared to stay any longer, and they all found excuses to leave. Yuan Tianlong had lost all face. To stay any longer would just be embarrassing for everyone, wouldn't it?
With their departure, the news swept out from Anwu Cetery like the wind, spreading to every corner of Lingjin City. In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar.
"How domineering! He sent a coffin and forced Yuan Tianlong to use it?"
"I heard the guy didn't even get out of the car! He just glanced at Yuan Tianlong from afar, and that one look made him cave imdiately. He even said he was sending his eldest son abroad!"
"To subdue the enemy without fighting… truly badass!"
"Haha, things are getting more and more interesting."
Since the stranger had only revealed his eyes, no one could describe any details about him, other than that he was a young man. This piqued the curiosity of countless people. They wanted to know who this man was and what his relationship was with the Qin Corporation.
With the truth unclear, rumors ran wild. So said this person was the benefactor of Qin Corporation's Chairwoman, Qin Qiu, staying by her side to help resolve all her difficulties. Others claid he was the guardian deity of Lingjin City, silently protecting the ancient capital from any outside interference. The list went on.
As the protagonist, Chen Yang had only stopped briefly at the entrance of Anwu Cetery because he happened to be passing by. By now, he had already arrived at Lingjin City Hospital.
「In a special care ward.」
"It's truly unexpected, Qin Gang. Not only did you survive, but you've gotten out of your sickbed, looking full of life and vigor," a middle-aged man in his fifties said, his face filled with disbelief. He stood by the bed, looking at Qin Gang, who was sipping tea. The middle-aged man was dressed in a black, stand-up collar jacket, brimming with energy, his eyes sparkling with the air of a leader.
"Life is full of so many accidents and surprises," Qin Gang took a light sip of tea, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Just like how you, Qin Shan, could never have imagined that a day would co when you would be here looking for ."
"Hmph!" the middle-aged man, Qin Shan, scoffed coldly. "If it weren't for Father's orders, do you think I would co here?"
"The point is, you ca," Qin Gang replied unhurriedly, his voice tinged with smugness and scorn.
"Cut the nonsense," Qin Shan sneered. "With the ager strength of your little Qin Corporation, it's impossible to protect that prescription. Hand it over. Only by giving it to the family can we prevent it from falling into the hands of outsiders."
"Haha!" Qin Gang roared with laughter as if he had just heard the world's funniest joke. He shook his head. "Qin Shan, search your conscience and tell , in these thirty years, when have you, the Qin Royal Family, ever treated as one of your own? Now that you know about this prescription, you want to talk about being family? Aren't you being a little too shaless?" Qin Gang asked seriously, staring at Qin Shan.
"You..." Qin Shan's expression shifted repeatedly. He pointed a finger at Qin Gang but was unable to utter a single word.
"Thirty years ago, you were the ones who sent to the Martial Departnt. But because I couldn't reach the rank of seventh-grade Military General and stopped at sixth-grade, you flew into a rage and kicked out of the Qin Family, heh..." Qin Gang stood up, glaring at Qin Shan. "Do you think the Martial Departnt is run by my family? That I can achieve whatever rank I want, whenever I want? We haven't had contact for thirty years, yet today you show up demanding a prescription? Since when did the mighty Qin Royal Family beco so shaless?"
Qin Shan's gaze faltered, and his tone softened slightly. "Father has already said he can restore your position in the family. As long as you hand over the prescription, you will once again be the Second Master of the Qin Royal Family, and my Second Brother."
"Furthermore, Father has already arranged a marriage for Xiaoqiu. Do you know who it is?" Qin Shan smiled. "The eldest son of the Li Family from Qiyun Road! You should know that the Li Family is only a step behind our Qin Family. It's a perfectly suitable match."
Qin Shan bead. "Second Brother, we're all family. Let bygones be bygones. Return to the family, and we brothers can help Father achieve even greater glory!"
"Get out!" Qin Gang sat back down.
"Second Brother..."
"I said, get out!"
The smile vanished from Qin Shan's face. He spoke with a sinister tone, "Qin Gang, I'm giving you an easy way out, and you're throwing it back in my face!"
"Showing your true colors so quickly? Heh..." Qin Gang scoffed. "Get out. There's no going back, and besides, I have no desire to."
"Do you really think I ca here to negotiate with you?" Qin Shan snapped his fingers. Instantly, two young n entered the ward and closed in on Qin Gang from both sides.
Qin Gang laughed bitterly. That Qin Shan didn't even have the patience to keep up the pretense was truly disheartening.
"I'll say it one last ti. Hand over the prescription!" Qin Shan commanded icily.
Qin Gang closed his eyes, his voice unusually calm. "Bring it on. I'd rather die at the hands of my own family than on a sickbed."
"Elder Qin, look what I brought you!"
Suddenly, a person burst into the ward, holding a roasted chicken and a bottle of strong spirits, speaking cheerfully.
Hmm?
"Do we have a guest?"
Qin Gang, at first taken aback, suddenly broke into a wide grin.
Qin Shan, however, roared, "Kid, get out of here right now!"
Chen Yang was speechless.
