Chapter 1438: Making the Perpetrator Pay the Price

Chi Rong's voice was filled with impatience and confusion.

After listening, Qin Yiyan asked her, "You weren't at home yesterday?"

"Yes, I don't know what got into your father; he was acting crazy, wanting to celebrate some anniversary. I found it boring, so I hid away."

Chi Rong knew absolutely nothing about what had happened last night.

Therefore, she was very passive at this moment.

But even though she was at a loss, as a mother, she did not want to drag Qin Yiyan into this.

Yet Qin Yiyan said, "I was the one who hit them."

Chi Rong was stunned.

A moment later, she let out an "Ah!"

And Qin Yiyan continued, "Father drugged me and locked me in with Wang Yaran, intending for us to become a done deal."

This time, Chi Rong gasped sharply.

And she cursed fiercely, "He is truly a bastard!!"

Qin Yiyan could feel his mother's anger.

To be honest, Qin Yiyan himself was quite angry too.

But anger could not solve the problem; now, Qin Yiyan was going to make the perpetrator pay the price!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yiyan asked, "Are the people from the Wang Family still there?"

"Yes, your father went to the company, and now I don't even know how to respond!"

"You don't need to respond. Produce the evidence that you weren't home last night, and then let the people from the Wang Family go to the company to find Father."

Qin Yiyan's arrangement startled Chi Rong.

Afterwards, she asked, "Wouldn't that blow things out of proportion?"

"I want to blow things out of proportion, and I want to make sure Father and Wang Yaran are linked together!"

"This... what does that mean?"

"Yesterday evening, it was Father who invited Wang Yaran to the house, and it was also Father who had someone send the disheveled Wang Yaran to the Hospital. What does that have to do with me?"

Qin Yiyan was planning to clear his own name and make Qin Chao take the fall alone!

However, doing this would inevitably put Chi Rong in an awkward position.

So Qin Yiyan said, "Some unpleasant rumors will spread soon. To avoid being disturbed, you should go back to the Old Residence for a while."

Who would have thought that Chi Rong would refuse without a second thought: "It's fine, I still need to prove to others that your father and I have had a falling out."

Chi Rong was using concrete actions to support her son.

Qin Yiyan was very grateful for his mother's support, but such support would make his mother look bad.

He could not bear to let his mother be embarrassed, so he said, "You don't need to prove anything; leave the matter to me to handle."

Chi Rong thought for a moment and said, "You are father and son after all; it's not good to make things too tense. Why don't I step in?"

His mother's good intentions made Qin Yiyan feel very warmed.

But he did not accept his mother's suggestion.

He scoffed, "When Father was making a move against me, did he ever think about whether our relationship would become too tense? Since he doesn't care, why should I hold onto this ridiculous father-son bond?"

But...

Chi Rong's lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing, only sighing heavily.

At this moment, noisy sounds came from downstairs.

It was the Wang Family, who couldn't wait any longer, protesting there.

Chi Rong hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone and decided to handle it according to Qin Yiyan's request.

The Wang Family listened to Chi Rong's words and, as expected, went to the company.

It goes without saying that after making a huge scene, Qin Chao lost a lot of face.

People who didn't know the truth immediately branded Qin Chao as a dirty old man.

They believed he had brought a young girl home and ended up hurting her.

Qin Chao's reputation had been quite good before.

He was a family man who cherished his wife.

But no one expected that behind his good reputation, he hid such filthy thoughts.

It was truly unexpected!

People in the company were discussing the matter incessantly.

And the Wang Family, as if afraid the matter wouldn't become known throughout the city, were spreading it everywhere they went.

Finally, Qin Chao's "scandal" spread at the fastest possible speed.

And Qin Chao, who was at the center of the public opinion, was absolutely furious!

He had originally wanted to force Qin Yiyan to bow down.

He never expected the situation to take such a sharp turn for the worse, and instead, he was the one covered in filth!

And those people from the Wang Family, they were truly pig-headed! Couldn't they think about why they had asked Wang Yaran to come over in the first place!?

And as for Wang Yaran, she wasn't dead, so why couldn't she open her mouth to explain?

The more Qin Chao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he finally decided to find Wang Yaran and have her come forward to explain everything clearly to everyone.

But when he went to the Wang Family, they wouldn't let him see Wang Yaran at all.

To the Wang Family, Wang Yaran had become their trump card.

With just one word from Wang Yaran, they could decide whether Qin Chao would be completely ruined.

Since the trump card was so important, how could the Wang Family let Qin Chao see Wang Yaran and intimidate her?

That requires negotiating terms with Qin Chao first!

As for Wang Yaran's reputation, her future, and even how well she recovers...

No one cares.

In order to resolve the problem, Qin Chao patiently listened to the demands of the Wang Family.

But he didn't even finish listening before leaving in a fit of rage.

Because...

Was that making a demand? It was clearly an exorbitant request!

Qin Chao would have to be crazy to agree!!

At this moment, Qin Chao was in a depressed mood.

He didn't return to the company, but instead hid back at the Qin Family Villa.

But what he didn't expect was that, just as he entered the house, he saw... Qin Yiyan sitting there leisurely, drinking tea with Chi Rong!!

"You unfilial son!"

Qin Chao knew very well why things had developed into this current situation.

In his anger, he rushed over in a few steps, intending to teach Qin Yiyan a lesson!

But just as he walked in front of Qin Yiyan, Chi Rong stood up first and slapped Qin Chao across the face!

Slap—

This crisp sound left the few people present stunned.

A moment later, Qin Chao slowly turned his head back and asked in disbelief, "You... actually hit me!?"

Chi Rong had used a lot of force just now, and her palm was tingling.

But she felt no remorse; looking straight into Qin Chao's eyes, she asked coldly in return, "Don't you deserve to be hit!! You actually drugged the child; you are simply not human!!!"

The more Chi Rong spoke, the angrier she became, and she even moved to strike him.

Qin Yiyan hurriedly stopped his mother and advised, "Please don't get angry, getting worked up hurts your health!"

"Being married to a person like this is the most harmful thing to one's health!"

Qin Chao also had a ball of fire blocked in his heart.

Facing the furious Chi Rong, he roared, "Do you think I want it to be this way? It's just that my son is unreasonable, making me worry about everything! I just want the Qin Family to have an heir, what is wrong with that!?"

"Of course you are wrong! If you want an heir, go find another woman to figure it out; why must you torture your son!? He is not a tool for you to carry on the family line!"

Chi Rong's words made Qin Chao feel that she was being unreasonable: "You... are truly outrageous!"

Tearing off her gentle mask, Chi Rong's words became sharper with every sentence:

"You are the most outrageous one! If it weren't for our son being smart and knowing how to adapt to circumstances, then the one being slandered and gossiped about behind his back today would be Yiyan!"

"I was also considering the big picture..."

Li Beijue's expression turned extremely grim in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
