Chapter 473: 469. The Terror of Zhang Ran (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Qian Li could finally hold it back no longer; tears fell pitter-patter, for she could feel that Zhang Ran's concern for her came truly from the bottom of his heart.
It was also from this moment on that Qian Li understood that when Zhang Ran used to say he treated her like his own daughter, it wasn't just talk.
Zhang Ran patted Qian Li on the shoulder to signal that she was alright, while Zhang Siyan hugged her, as she could sense that something was off with Qian Li's state of mind.
How strong a girl had Qian Li been in the past; when had she ever cried?
The difficult matters Zhang Siyan encountered were always helped solved by Qian Li, yet now Qian Li was crying, so clearly there were other things involved.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ran walked quickly toward Wang Chen and said with a smile, "I have troubled you too much this time, Elder Wang."
"Mr. Zhang is too polite; it is just a small matter." Wang Chen also smiled and shook hands with Zhang Ran.
The two exchanged pleasantries, though Wang Yicheng on the side was somewhat dissatisfied; he felt uncomfortable in his heart that Zhang Ran had arrived so late.
After all, his father, at such an advanced age, had gotten up that night to help, yet you, Zhang Ran, had arrived so late.
Therefore, when Zhang Ran greeted him, Wang Yicheng's demeanor was somewhat perfunctory.
Seeing this, Wang Chen frowned slightly but did not say much, as there were so many people here.
By now, quite a few people had gathered around to watch; Wang Chen's reputation in the Hong Kong and Macau region was resounding, and there were many, many people who knew him.
Now that they saw Wang Chen actually coming in person to welcome a young man, and being so polite at that, everyone was naturally very curious.
Some people wanted to pick up their phones to take pictures, but they were all subconsciously blocked by He Yong's side.
Once they were in the car, Zhang Ran explained to Wang Chen with some embarrassment, "Elder Wang, because of that incident, I have some psychological trauma regarding airplanes and ships, so I arrived a bit late; please forgive me."
He also understood the reason for Wang Yicheng's attitude, so he offered an explanation at this time.
Wang Chen naturally understood what Zhang Ran was talking about, and coupled with the look on Zhang Ran's face when he had just stepped off the ship, the slight resentment he had felt in his heart immediately dissipated.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is too polite, it is nothing." Wang Chen waved his hand dismissively.
By the time the car arrived at the Wang Family Manor, Zhang Ran had also learned some of the details of the matter while in the car.
"If there are no accidents, it should be a trap set by Wen Jing and Chai Gou, but now Wen Jing and these people have all disappeared; I only managed to track where they went, but I don't know where they are.
Chai Gou is one of Qiu Qianyang's people, and I cannot easily move against him, so I can only have people watch him for now to keep him from running away," said Wang Chen.
Zhang Ran said, "Thank you, Elder Wang; this is enough."
"Mr. Zhang, let me add one more thing: you might not be very familiar with this Qiu Qianyang. He appeared in Macau around '92, and no one knows what he specifically did before that.
It is strange to say, but back then, no one knew where this person got a Gambling License. Over these many years, his methods have been quite extraordinary. Although our Wang Family might be slightly stronger in this area of Macau, that is all it is." Wang Chen explained a little about this person, Qiu Qianyang.
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Thank you, I understand. Leave the rest to me. I would like to see just how much ability this Qiu Qianyang has, to dare to scheme against my family?"
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Ran's eyes.
Wang Yicheng had been dissatisfied with Zhang Ran from the start, and upon hearing this, he said, "Mr. Zhang, you shouldn't underestimate Qiu Qianyang. He was able to build such a large foundation here not by luck. Regardless, in Macau, it is very difficult to move against him without absolute evidence."
Zhang Ran said, "It's fine, then we shall find the evidence."
"Evidence? Wen Jing and these people have already run off, and no one knows where they are now; where would the evidence come from?" Wang Yicheng seemed determined to make things difficult for Zhang Ran.
"Yicheng?" Wang Chen scolded him with a word.
Wang Yicheng pursed his lips and stopped talking; he just felt that this Zhang Ran was putting on too much of an act.
Did he think Macau was his own home?
Even their Wang Family would have to think twice before moving against one of Qiu Qianyang's people.
Zhang Ran smiled and said nothing, only saying to Wang Chen, "Elder Wang, please tell me the last place they arrived at, as well as some of their personal information."
Wang Chen nodded and handed the information he had gathered over the past two days to Zhang Ran.
After looking at the information on these people, Zhang Ran's expression was very calm; he stood up, walked outside to make a few phone calls, and then returned.
"Wait and see. If there are no accidents, they should be back in Macau by tomorrow or the day after," Zhang Ran said.
Wang Yicheng wanted to say something upon hearing this, but he was glared back by Wang Chen.
Zhang Ran did not care about this and smiled, "Could you tell me about the specific affairs of this Qiu Qianyang?"
"Certainly. No one knows about this person's past; in any case, it was as if he suddenly popped out of nowhere. However, he is quite capable; back then, under heavy suppression, he managed to get his casino up and running, and it only grew larger and larger.
In recent years, he has also joined the Mu Family's Galaxy Capital; one could say his development has been getting better and better," said Wang Chen.
Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow, "Galaxy Capital?"
"Yes." Wang Chen nodded; he knew some inside information, and he was slightly clear about the events of those years.
"But come to think of it, this guy has one rather strange point," Wang Yicheng suddenly said.
"What is strange about it?" Zhang Ran asked.
"It's that he had never married or had children before, and he has no offspring, even though he is nearly fifty now.
But just around November of last year, this guy suddenly brought back a woman and a child from abroad, announcing to the outside world that this was his wife and son.
It was just like back then, suddenly popping out of nowhere, which caused a lot of people to gossip," said Wang Yicheng.
He was quite knowledgeable about these matters regarding Qiu Qianyang, though he did not hold much hope that Zhang Ran could move against Qiu Qianyang's people.
Zhang Ran did not say much more, nor did he offer any explanation.
Because very soon, Wang Yicheng would know whether Zhang Ran had been boasting or not.
On the second night after Zhang Ran stayed at the Wang Family Manor, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the Wang Family Manor with the six people including Wen Jing.
At this moment, the faces of Wen Jing and the others were somewhat pale, and their eyes were filled with terror; they had already split up when they left Macau.
But within a short two days, they had all been found and captured, not a single one left behind.
When Wang Yicheng saw this scene, he was completely stunned!
One must know that these people had run away, and even their Wang Family had no way to track them, as they had run very quickly and left behind very little information.
Yet Zhang Ran had captured them in just a single day and delivered them the next; at this moment, Wang Yicheng finally felt the terrifying nature of this man, Zhang Ran.
