Chapter 1418: Sooner or Later, I Will Make Them Pay the Price

Qin Yiyan waved his hand and denied, "Doesn't that just clearly show a lack of trust in Father?"

"Then... what if you and the old gentleman discuss it in advance and make a joint decision?"

"My father doesn't listen to other people's suggestions; do you think he would listen to mine?"

Qin Yiyan's counter-question left Lin Ze speechless.

He had thought that because their status was different, the result would also be different; in the end, it proved that Lin Ze had overthought it.

Lin Ze sighed softly.

Hearing this sigh, Qin Yiyan raised his eyebrows and gave Lin Ze some reassurance: "Don't worry, the trouble will be resolved, and everything will return to its original place."

Since Qin Yiyan could give such a promise, it meant he already had a plan in mind.

So Lin Ze said nothing more.

And while Lin Ze was silent, his peripheral vision caught Qin Yiyan taking out his phone.

He had thought Qin Yiyan was going to contact someone regarding work matters.

But in reality, the call was to Wang Yaran.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

The moment Qin Yiyan opened his mouth, he put on a friendly attitude: "My father should already know about our cooperation; he didn't give you a hard time, did he?"

Qin Yiyan appeared to be concerned about Wang Yaran.

In reality?

This concern was extremely hypocritical!

Wang Yaran wore a cold sneer, but her voice was soft: "Your father intimidated me a few times, but I managed to appease him."

"Is that so? I didn't expect you to have such methods."

"Sigh, I don't like using methods either, but there's really no other way now."

"Don't worry, these are all temporary, and soon, we will have more opportunities to cooperate."

Qin Yiyan was speaking to reassure her.

But his words actually terrified Wang Yaran!

She hurriedly said: "Let's just forget about the cooperation!"

Her slightly sharp voice made Qin Yiyan raise his eyebrows slightly, and he asked: "Don't you want to gain a firm foothold in the family? Then our cooperation should be the more the better."

The more the better?

Heh, could the Qin family tolerate such "the more the better"?

I'm afraid he could uproot Wang Yaran entirely!

And this was no longer any kind of cooperation.

It was a death warrant!

Wang Yaran was filled with resentment in her heart.

When she opened her mouth to speak, however, she remained gentle: "Let's just take it one step at a time; otherwise, it will arouse other people's jealousy."

"You saying that... is also right; after all, human hearts are complex, and it's hard to guard against everything."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaran hurriedly followed his lead and continued: "That's right, one must eat a meal one bite at a time; as long as the final success belongs to us, that's all that matters."

"Hmm, alright then, let's do as you say. If there is anything else you need my help with, just say so."

Wang Yaran gave a response and then hung up the phone.

Afterwards, her expression instantly darkened!

She was even cursing Qin Yiyan under her breath!

This guy kept saying he would protect her, but all he did was cause her trouble!

And this phone call was just to test her!

Wang Yaran would not believe Qin Yiyan ever again.

Sooner or later, she would make this pair of father and son pay the price for their arrogance!!

Wang Yaran's breathing gradually became rapid.

Meanwhile, on this side of the call, Qin Yiyan tossed his phone aside and closed his eyes gently.

Then he arranged for Lin Ze: "Find someone to keep an eye on Wang Yaran."

"Yes," Lin Ze replied.

After considering for a moment, he offered a suggestion: "If you find this woman an eyesore, just drive her away."

This matter was not that simple.

Qin Yiyan kept his eyes closed and muttered: "If I drive her away, Father will just find another woman to get in the way; it's better to use this opportunity to let them both learn a lesson!"

Qin Yiyan's voice was filled with exhaustion.

Seeing this, Lin Ze said nothing more.

He simply left silently.

And he went to make preparations according to Qin Yiyan's previous arrangements.

The next day—

Without any warning, Qin Yiyan appeared at the company.

He was dressed in a crisp suit and looked full of spirit.

If his complexion hadn't been overly pale, everyone would have thought he had completely recovered.

Qin Yiyan's appearance undoubtedly gave the restless company staff a sense of reassurance.

And such a personal appearance was far more effective than empty words.

It was just that Qin Yiyan walked around once and then left.

He didn't even cross paths with Qin Chao.

In the end, Qin Chao only learned that Qin Yiyan had been to the company from someone else.

This made Qin Chao feel that he had been ignored.

In a fit of anger, he actually went to the Liu Family to have it out with Qin Yiyan in person.

But upon arriving at the Liu Family, he learned that Qin Yiyan had already moved out.

And the location was right next door.

Qin Chao felt it was inexplicable.

However, the anger in his chest had mostly dissipated because of this turn of events.

Qin Chao only hesitated for a moment before deciding to go next door to see Qin Yiyan.

Because Qin Yiyan had gone to the company for a stroll in the morning, his body was very exhausted.

He decided to sleep for a while.

But he didn't expect that he would be interrupted by his father's appearance after sleeping for less than ten minutes.

There was no other way; Qin Yiyan could only meet with Qin Chao while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

As soon as he saw Qin Yiyan, Qin Chao wore a look of affection.

He even chided him, asking, "You child, since you've moved out of the Liu Family, why didn't you go home? Do you know how worried your mother is about you?"

Qin Yiyan yawned, his tone blunt: "Don't use Mother as an excuse; Mother only wants me to be happy."

His bluntness made Qin Chao's expression stiffen.

Only then did he say sullenly, "That is nothing but womanly kindness!"

Qin Yiyan felt his father had gone off-topic; he rubbed his eyes and pulled the conversation back: "Father, you came to find me—is there something?"

"Oh, nothing important; I just heard you went to the company today, so I came to see you."

As Qin Chao spoke, a thought suddenly popped into his head.

This thought made Qin Chao somewhat excited, and his tone of voice quickened: "You are currently injured and need a reliable person to take care of you. How about..."

Qin Yiyan guessed what his father meant.

So he interrupted his father and said, "I have people here to take care of me."

"Where are there any people?"

Qin Yiyan's place was empty. Even the person who opened the door just now was Qin Yiyan himself.

And Qin Yiyan didn't explain much; he just clapped his hands, and then...

A group of bodyguards in black appeared from out of nowhere!

These people stood there in a dense crowd, their sense of oppression extremely strong!

Qin Chao even felt he couldn't breathe!

His original plan had been to take the opportunity to plant Wang Yaran here.

But in the current situation, if Wang Yaran came...

I'm afraid that if there was any disagreement, she could be thrown directly into the sea!

Qin Chao felt very annoyed.

By comparison, Qin Yiyan's attitude was very relaxed, and he even asked a question he knew the answer to: "Seeing them, Father should be able to rest easy now, right?"

Qin Chao said impatiently, "Rest easy about what? A bunch of rough men—who can take care of your daily life?"

"There's no need to worry about that either; Xin'ai is right next door. If there's any discomfort, I can consult her directly. As for food and clothing, I'll just sponge off the neighbors."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, as if an invisible pressure were pressing down on everyone's hearts.
