Chapter 139: With Him Here, No One Will Be Harmed

Chen Yang chuckled upon hearing this. "Is that so? My uncle had an accident? When did this happen? How badly is he hurt? If your father is in trouble, you should be at the hospital keeping him company. Why are you here shouting at me?"

"Chen Yang, stop pretending, damn it! Don't play dumb. And you, Qin Muxue, are you going to tell me you know nothing about this?" Qin Chao said, his face full of rage.

Qin Muxue replied with a complicated expression, "Qin Chao, no matter what, this only happened because you and Uncle insisted on being against Chen Yang and me at every turn, didn't it?"

"Oh, so you're admitting that my father being beaten was a scheme designed by you and Chen Yang, right?" Qin Chao shouted.

"I don't know about that."

Qin Muxue immediately said with a cold look, "I truly know nothing about this."

"Then it was you, Chen Yang! It was your doing, wasn't it?" Qin Chao suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Yang. Since Qin Muxue was incapable of lying, Qin Chao realized she truly was in the dark, which meant this must have been Chen Yang's doing.

Chen Yang shrugged and said, "I don't know who did it either. In any case, if you want to claim it was me, bring me proof. If you don't have evidence, stop being an eyesore here."

"Fine, fine, Chen Yang. You've got guts. You've got real guts. The world is a small place; you just wait for me. Just wait." Qin Chao said, his face twisted with anger, before turning and walking away.

As soon as Qin Chao left, Qin Muxue hurriedly closed the door and looked at Chen Yang, asking, "Chen Yang, was it you?"

"Alright, Muxue, it's enough that you know the truth in your heart. Some things lose their meaning once they're spoken aloud," Chen Yang replied with a faint smile.

Qin Muxue frowned. "How badly did you hurt my uncle?"

"He'll probably be in the hospital for at least two months," Chen Yang said with a grin.

"You, oh you... aren't you being a bit too excessive?" Qin Muxue said, looking helpless.

Chen Yang sneered coldly, "Who told them to willingly act as dogs for the Yu family and insist on making things difficult for you?"

"But please, don't go too far," Qin Muxue urged him earnestly.

"It's fine, don't worry." Chen Yang smiled slightly and then said to her in a relaxed tone, "Alright, it's getting late. Go upstairs and get some rest."

Qin Muxue nodded with a complex look on her face.

The next morning, at seven o'clock, Qin Chao arrived at Qin Guofu's hospital room. With a face full of hatred, he told his father, "Dad, I found out last night. This whole thing was the work of that brat, Chen Yang. That bastard."

"Good. Find someone to deal with him, too. Don't let him have an easy time," Qin Guofu suddenly said with a roar of anger.

Qin Guofu's words caused Qin Chao to look at him in surprise. He hadn't expected his father to take the initiative to ask for revenge.

Qin Chao gave a bitter smile. "Dad, did I hear that right?"

"Do as I say," Qin Guofu closed his eyes and said softly.

"Alright, Dad! With your word, it'll be easy to get things done. I actually wanted to find someone to take care of Chen Yang last night, but I was afraid you wouldn't approve, so I didn't. Now that I have your permission, I can finally let loose," Qin Chao said happily.

Qin Guofu gave a soft grunt of acknowledgment and said nothing more.

Buzz, buzz.

Just then, the phone by his bedside rang. Qin Guofu opened his eyes, glanced at the caller ID, and answered, "What is it?"

"It's bad, President Qin. This morning, a young man somehow climbed to the roof of the Qin Group building and is threatening to jump. There are many onlookers, and the police have arrived. It's absolute chaos. Professional police negotiators are currently trying to talk to the young man. Tell me, what kind of situation is this?" The voice of Vice President Deng, the current manager of the Qin Group, came through the phone.

As soon as Qin Guofu heard this, his mind immediately jumped to the conclusion that this was someone intentionally trying to embarrass the Qin Group. The only one capable of such a thing had to be Shen Donghua.

Qin Guofu furrowed his brow, suppressing his inner rage. "This is intentional. Don't do anything about it. Just let him be."

"Let him be?" Vice President Deng's voice sounded conflicted. "President Qin, if we do nothing, the impact will be terrible, won't it?"

"Then come up with a solution yourself!" Qin Guofu suddenly shouted, frustrated by the Vice President.

Vice President Deng hurriedly replied, "Alright, alright, I understand, President Qin. Please rest well and don't get too worked up. I'll find a way, I'll find a way right now."

Qin Guofu hung up the phone angrily and suddenly looked at Qin Chao. "Xiao Chao, go call the doctor quickly. My head is starting to hurt again."

Qin Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a pang of deep distress. He hurried toward the door, his heart filled with burning hatred for Chen Yang.

Soon, doctors and nurses entered. The nurse administered a sedative to Qin Guofu, and he closed his eyes, feeling slightly better.

As the doctor was leaving, he repeatedly urged Qin Chao to ensure the patient did not face any further stimulation, as his concussion was severe.

Qin Chao nodded repeatedly.

After seeing the medical staff out, Qin Chao suppressed his anger, walked to the bedside, and smiled slightly. "Dad, get some good rest. Let me handle the matters outside. It's fine; everything will be alright."

Qin Guofu waved his hand, signaling for Qin Chao to leave.

As soon as Qin Chao stepped out of the room, he clenched his fists tightly. With a face full of fury, he whispered a curse: "Shen Donghua, Chen Yang, I'll destroy your ancestors for eighteen generations! Just wait for me, just you wait."

At six o'clock that evening, Chen Yang left work as usual and headed to his mother-in-law's hospital room.

He had been in a good mood all day, having spent the entire morning watching the farce of the jump attempt at the Qin Group building. It was incredibly amusing.

The farce itself was, of course, directed and arranged by him. The young man threatening to jump was someone he had hired, and the many onlookers, photographers, and even the live-streamers on the scene were people he had organized.

Chen Yang had gone to such great lengths to throw the Qin Group into disarray just to see how the Qin and Yu families would react to such chaos.

The suicide farce had lasted the entire morning, and thanks to the live streams, the Qin Group had truly made a fool of itself throughout the entire city of Linhai.

Qin Chao had been so enraged by the incident that he had suffered from liver pain all day. He had even called the Yu family in the morning, hoping to secure their support. After all, if Shen Donghua and Chen Yang continued to cause such trouble, the Qin Group wouldn't even be able to help the Yu family make life miserable for Chen Yang and Qin Muxue; it was questionable whether the company could even continue to operate.

At 6:30 PM, as soon as Chen Yang entered the hospital room, he noticed one person was missing: Qin Guoshan.

Although it wasn't unusual for Qin Guoshan to be out for some reason, Chen Yang felt a sense of unease.

He walked up to Qin Muxue and asked with a smile, "Muxue, where's Dad?"

"Dad? I heard he went out. Are you looking for him for something?" Qin Muxue asked curiously.

"No, just asking casually. But you should give him a call and tell him to come back. I actually do have something to discuss with him," Chen Yang said with a smile.

In truth, Chen Yang didn't have anything special to discuss; he just wanted to make sure Qin Muxue called him to ensure he was safe.

"What is it?" Qin Muxue asked, looking puzzled.

"Just call him," Chen Yang chuckled.

"Why can't you call him yourself? You have his number, don't you?" Qin Muxue noted.

Chen Yang laughed again. "That's true, isn't it? I'll call him myself then."

Qin Muxue rolled her eyes slightly.

Chen Yang took out his phone and dialed his father-in-law's number.

The first call went unanswered. When he tried the second time, the phone was switched off.

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, a bad feeling settling in his heart. He had sensed something was off the moment he walked into the room and saw Qin Guoshan wasn't there. The fact that the call wouldn't go through only intensified his ominous premonition.

Noticing the strange expression on Chen Yang's face, Qin Muxue asked, "What's wrong?"

"The call didn't go through; his phone is off," Chen Yang said calmly.

Qin Muxue stared at him for two seconds, suddenly realizing something. Her expression grew tense. "Nothing could have happened to Dad, could it?"

"No," Chen Yang denied it immediately, even though he secretly suspected that something might have indeed happened to Qin Guoshan.

"Chen Yang, don't just tell me what I want to hear," Qin Muxue said, looking anxious. She then turned to Han Qin, who was lying in the hospital bed. "Mom, did Dad say where he was going when he left?"

Han Qin replied, "He just said the room was stuffy and he was going out for some fresh air. Why? What happened?"

"Dad's phone isn't going through, and it's switched off..." Qin Muxue said, her brow tightly knitted.

"Switched off? His phone was fully charged when he left," Han Qin said, her own brow immediately furrowing.
