My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 69
Chapter 69 Forced With No Choice
“See me?” Qin Jinhuan was really surprised. “What for?”
Wen Zeyu shook his head. “Grandpa didn’t say anything. He only said that he wants to see you, and asked you to go to the inpatient ward of the City Hospital immediately to meet him.”
“Inpatient ward?” Qin Jinhuan’s expression changed drastically, and he ran out of the house.
Mu Yu also noticed that something was wrong, and proceeded to follow him.
Hu Meiling grabbed her. “Hey, Yu, you…”
“Mom, Huan’s grandpa…” Mu Yu wanted to explain and say ‘Huan’s grandpa is sick, I have to go and see him’, but after giving it a thought, she changed the replies in her head, and said, “His grandpa is finally willing to see him. This means that he must have already cooled down.”
“What? If he has cooled down, does this mean that his grandpa will give him back the CEO position? Will his grandpa also bring him back into the Qin family?”
“Isn’t this a given? No matter what, they’re still family.” Since her mother had started to believe her, Mu Yu grabbed the chance to persuade her. “I have to follow Huan and see his grandpa. If Grandpa thinks that I left Huan when he was in trouble, he will definitely ask Huan to divorce me!”
“What? Then you have to go now! Quick!” Hu Meiling’s face paled with shock, and immediately pushed her daughter toward the door. At the same time, she shouted toward the outside of the house, “Wait for a moment! Wait for Yu!”
Mu Yu couldn’t help but smile bitterly at her mother’s sudden change, but she didn’t have time to stand around and be upset about it. She quickly ran out of the house, only to see Qin Jinhuan’s car driving out of the gates. At once, she chased his car and shouted for him.
“Mu Yu, get into my car.”
The next moment, Wen Zeyu stopped his car beside her, and she quickly got into it.
“Is Grandpa sick?” She was extremely worried.
“From his tone, he didn’t sound like he was sick. Even if he was actually sick, Lei Zhi would call me if he couldn’t get a hold of Huan.”
“Why is Grandpa at the inpatient ward of the City Hospital? Why did he even ask for Huan to see him?”
“I too feel weird about this.” Knowing that she was worried, Wen Zeyu faked a relaxed smile and comforted her, “Mu Yu, we should think positively about this. Maybe Grandpa is just going to the hospital for his scheduled body checkup. Maybe sentiments arose in him when he saw that some of the patients who are doing the same checkup aren’t in good conditions. Maybe he felt that he was being too harsh on Huan, and therefore called him up to patch up with him.”
“I hope so.”
Mu Yu was saying that out loud, but couldn’t calm down at all. Because she knew very well that Qin Xiaozhi wasn’t someone who would get sentimental so easily.
I hope they don’t cause anymore troubles, and make things difficult for Qin Jinhuan. She prayed silently.
Meanwhile, Qin Jinhuan, Huang Bo and Weng Yun had already arrived at the hospital. They rushed to the VIP ward in the inpatient ward that Wen Zeyu mentioned, and was surprised to find that the ones guarding the door weren’t the twins, but four unfamiliar faces instead.
“Please stay back.” The four men stopped Huang Bo and Weng Yun.
Upon noticing that the four men were being hostile, Huang Bo and Weng Yun’s faces darkened. They were ready to fight the four men off, but Qin Jinhuan stopped them. “Wait for me outside.”
“Yes, Boss.” Only then did the two of them stop, before standing nervously by the side.
Qin Jinhuan knocked on the door, and entered.
There were many people in the ward. He instinctively scanned through the crowd and looked at the bed. However, to his surprise, his grandpa wasn’t lying on the bed, but sitting on a high chair by the bed with a stern look displayed across his face instead.
The person lying on the bed was Yi Yunzhe!
Yi Yunzhe was lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed. He seemed like he was asleep, with a thin quilt covering his body, and his wounds weren’t visible. However, by the look of his pale white face, Qin Jinhuan could see that Yi Yunzhe’s injuries were serious.
Why is Grandpa here visiting the injured Yi Yunzhe?
This doesn’t make any sense!
Could it be possible that he’s here due to Yi Yunzhe’s attack?
Could it be that…
“Huan, take a seat.”
Qin Wentao’s voice—that was so unusually gentle—interrupted Qin Jinhuan’s thoughts. He, who hadn’t figured out why he was here, ignored the stool Qin Wentao took out for him and turned to look at his grandpa expressionlessly, waiting for him to speak out.
Qin Wentao didn’t say anything when he saw Qin Jinhuan refuse to sit down. He merely took a step back, and stood behind Qin Xiaozhi as he lowered his head.
At this moment, Yi Yunzhe opened his eyes. He narrowed them as he glanced at Qin Jinhuan, snorting lightly, before closing his eyes again.
“Huan.” Qin Xiaozhi’s majestic voice boomed. “Your man has attacked Mr. Yi so ruthlessly. How are you going to explain this to Mr. Yi?”
Qin Jinhuan, who had everything concluded in his mind, responded softly, “Isn’t Cheng Xiang already taken away by the police?”
This seemingly casual answer made Qin Xiaozhi extremely dissatisfied. His voice turned harsher. “And you think that is enough? You think the one he hurt is just some ordinary passerby? The one he hurt is—”
“Whatever the police holds him accountable for, he will take full criminal responsibility for it.”
“What kind of attitude is this? Do you know that—”
“Old Master Qin.” Yi Yunzhe interrupted Qin Xioazhi impatiently with his eyes still closed, “Let’s get straight to the point. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Qin Wentao quickly advised him, “Mr. Yi, don’t get angry. Your health is of the utmost priority now. Please be patient. My dad will definitely give you a satisfying answer.”
After he finished talking, he bent down and gently tucked Qin Xiaozhi’s sleeve, eagerly pointing at the files in his pocket.
Ignoring his son, Qin Xiaozhi frowned. His voice softened as he spoke again, “Huan, Cheng Xiang did all this because of you. Now, not only is he suffering physically, he also has to face the possibility of being sentenced to jail. Don’t you want to share part of his burden? Maybe you can ask Mr. Yi to be lenient and let him off the hook, so that he wouldn’t suffer so much.”
His grandpa was asking him to beg that B*stard Yi?
Not finding any of this funny, Qin Jinhuan spoke coldly, “Thank you for your advice. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”
As soon as he turned around, ready to leave, Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun became anxious and called out to him simultaneously, “Huan, don’t go!”
“Hold on! I still have something to say!” Qin Xiaozhi suddenly got onto his feet. Because of his sudden swift movement, he lost his balance, and the twins quickly hurried over to support him at either side.
“The industries around Phoenix Gully have caused a huge loss to the Qing Tian Group. That is all because of your stubbornness. Shouldn’t you take responsibility for this?”
Qin Jinhuan paused and turned around before asking indifferently, “Hadn’t I given you the suggestion to make up for it?”
Qin Xiaozhi roared in rage, “You think that Qing Tian Group has so much money and energy to be put to waste?”
“So how do you want me to bear responsibility?”
“Apologize to Mr. Yi, and ask him to take over the industries around Phoenix Gully to minimize the company’s loss.”
It turned out that this was the main topic for today.
Qin Jinhuan glanced at Yi Yunzhe—who still had his eyes shut, but whose corners of his lips were obviously curved to a faint smile—and snorted in disdain. “Do you think he would take over this project, and give you the benefits that you want at the same time?”
“That’s not impossible.” Yi Yunzhe suddenly opened his eyes. Although his voice was weak, his words rang loud and clear. “I’ve always been a kind-hearted man. If Young Master Qin’s attitude is sincere enough in begging me, I will ensure Qing Tian Group won’t have too much to lose once I’m persuaded.”
A few seconds later, when Qin Xiaozhi saw that Qin Jinhuan didn’t respond, he continued in a gravely and earnest tone, “Huan, it’s also thanks to your hard work that Qing Tian Group is what it is today. You’ve been a good and responsible boy ever since you were young. Surely you cannot bear to watch Qing Tian Group get into trouble, and be torn down right in front of your very own eyes.”
Qin Wentao quickly chimed in, “Huan, a true man knows when to yield and when not to. Why don’t you just give in once for Qing Tian Group. You only have to apologize. There’s nothing for you to lose.”
Qin Jinhuan glared at his father in disgust and still didn’t budge. “I still don’t think that letting Yuchi Industry take over those industries in Phoenix Gully is the best choice.”
Yi Yunzhe chuckled out loud. “What if I am willing to give you an additional 10% profit on top of your capital?”
“Really?” It wasn’t only Qin Wentao’s eyes that lit up, even Qin Xiaozhi immediately held a questioning glance at Yi Yunzhe.
“I’m a man who keeps my words! As long as Young Master Qin pleases me, I can sign the agreement with you now.” Yi Yunzhe’s faint voice rang in the ward.
“Huan!” Qin Xiaozhi looked at Qin Jinhuan, his eyes filled with hope.
To be honest, Qin Jinhuan did find Yi Yunzhe’s proposal tempting, but he knew Yi Yunzhe too well. There was no way Yi Yunzhe would let the Qing Tian Group and him off the hook so easily. Since he didn’t know what Yi Yunzhe’s true intentions were, he wouldn’t budge so easily.
“Since Young Master Qin doesn’t appreciate my kindness, don’t blame me for not giving you any chance, Old Master Qin. Xiao Yu, send them out.” Yi Yunzhe closed his eyes again.
“Mr. Yi, wait!” Yi Yunzhe’s eviction order made Qin Wentao anxious. He quickly pointed at the documents in his father’s hand to remind him.
“Huan, this is the transfer deed of your mother’s inheritance!” In order to force his grandson to obey him, Qin Xiaozhi had no choice but to use his trump card. “As long as you apologize to Mr. Yi, I will return all of your mother’s possessions back to you. Or else, I will transfer all of them to Wentao and Yueyun.”
“No!” Qin Jinhuan’s gaze hardened.
How is this cursed couple worthy of getting their filthy hands on my mother’s things?
“The document of ownership for this inheritance is in my hands. I have the final say on whom I shall give it to.” Qin Xiaozhi’s tone was very firm.
Qin Wentao quickly continued and said, “Huan, there may be some misunderstanding between you and me. I don’t want to worsen just because of your mother’s inheritance. But you should know your grandpa’s temper well. I advise you to obey Grandpa’s words, and apologize to Mr. Yi. That way, not only can the Qing Tian Group survive this crisis, but you can also get what you want. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?”
“Huan, Mr. Yi is unwell. His patience is wearing off, so I can’t give you much time to consider. Make your decision as soon as possible.” Qin Xiaozhi sat down and stared at Qin Jinhuan, waiting for him to make a decision.
Qin Jinhuan’s eyes darkened. He looked at Yi Yunzhe, who seemed to be resting and waiting for him to make his decision. He felt anger burning in him, but he could only hold it in.
After pondering about it, he chose to give in, despite his unwillingness. After all, it was his stubbornness that brought crisis to Qing Tian Group—the fruit of his grandpa’s years of labor, and twelve years of his hard work as well.
“Mr. Yi, I’m sorry. Regarding Cheng Xiang’s incident, I was the one who failed to keep him under control. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you will let this matter go.”
“Who are you apologizing to?”
Qin Jinhuan had no choice but to move closer to the bed, and repeated those words again.
“You’re speaking with your head held high. Is that a sincere apology?”
Qin Jinhuan’s face paled, while the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he lowered his head and repeated the apology again.
“I didn’t hear it clearly.”
Enduring his vindictive humiliation, Qin Jinhuan swallowed his anger in secret, and repeated loudly.
However, Yi Yunzhe suddenly lifted his blanket and pointed at his body that was covered in bandages. “That’s all? Just a simple apology? Do you think I’ll be able to forgive you so easily?”
“What do you want then?” Qin Jinhuan kept his anger suppressed, and asked faintly.
“Actually, I don’t give a damn about your apology.” Yi Yunzhe laughed all of a sudden. “If you promise me another thing, I will immediately fulfill my promise to Qing Tian Group. I will not even pursue any legal responsibility from Cheng Xiang.”
“What is it?” Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun asked in unison.
Qin Jinhuan didn’t speak another word; instead, he pursed his lips tightly and stared at Yi Yunzhe. He knew that the so-called apology was just an appetizer to Yi Yunzhe’s scheming plan. And, he finally was going to say what was truly in his mind.
Yi Yunzhe motioned for his men to help him sit up. Staring at Qin Jinhuan, he spoke clearly, word by word, “I-want-Mu-Yu.”
