My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Tricked
“M-Mr. Yi, you-you…” Qin Wentao was too shocked to complete his sentence.

“I’m not into that kind of person.” Seeing everyone had obviously misunderstood him, Yi Yunzhe smirked in disdain. “Whoever started the problem should end it. It’s Young Master Qin who caused the Phoenix Gully’s problem to the Qing Tian group, so he should be the one responsible to solve it.”

“What does Mr. Yi have in mind then?” Qin Wentao asked attentively.

“Let him kneel down and beg me…”

“Yi Yunzhe! Don’t go too far now!”

“Young Master, don’t be rash!” The twins quickly pulled Qin Jinhuan back, who was going to rush toward Yi Yunzhe and beat him up, as they tried to advise him in a low voice.

“Young Master Qin always had a quick temper. No wonder you would make such a huge blunder on the Phoenix Gully Project.” There were traces of contempt in Yi Yunzhe’s smile.

Qin Xiaozhi gestured to the twins to pull Qin Jinhuan a few steps back. He then walked to the side of Yi Yunzhe’s bed with his walking stick and spoke with dissatisfaction, “Mr. Yi, I am here today sincerely seeking for your company’s cooperation. If you just want to take this opportunity to ridicule the Qing Tian Group’s weakness and mock me for believing in the wrong person, I take that you have no faith in this negotiation, and in that case, I came all the way here just to pay you a visit. Goodbye.”

“Dad!”

“We shall return home and think of another way. There must be a way out.” Qin Xiaozhi ignored his son and daughter-in-law’s desperation as he turned to leave the ward.

“Old Master Qin, please stay. Ouch…”

Stretching himself a bit too much while getting up, Yi Yunzhe cried out in pain again, and his men quickly went up to either side of him and helped him out.

Qin Wentao promptly reminded him, eager to please. “Mr. Yi, be careful. You shouldn’t strain your wound.”

Meanwhile, Dong Yueyun pulled Qin Xiaozhi aside and whispered. “Dad, don’t leave first. Mr. Yi still has something to tell us.”

Yi Yunzhe picked up the conversation just in time. “Old Master Qin, I have always been interested in your company’s businesses in Phoenix Gully. Otherwise, I wouldn’t agree to have this talk with you after being injured so badly.”

Qin Xiaozhi replied, “But I couldn’t feel your sincerity after sitting here for so long.”

“I have promised to give your company a 10% profit on top of your capital. If you still think that it isn’t sincere enough, I have nothing more to say.”

Qin Wentao was scared that his father would leave again, so he quickly whispered into his ear to persuade him, “Dad, Mr. Yi is giving us 10% of the profit, which is already more than what we expected! We should be thanking him already! Don’t jeopardize the future of Qing Tian Group just because of a moment of anger!”

Qin Xiaozhi gently pushed his son aside. Turning to Yi Yunzhe, he spoke in a serious tone, “Mr. Yi, by agreeing to give us the profit, you’re indeed giving the Qing Tian Group’s face. I am very grateful for this, which is why I immediately asked my grandson to apologize upon your request, but I didn’t expect you to attach such harsh conditions to humiliate me and my grandson. If you insist on doing so, I’m afraid…”

“Hey, I was just joking about asking Young Master Qin to kneel down and beg me. Old Master Qin, you shouldn’t take this too seriously.” Yi Yunzhe laughed and waved his hand. Turning his gaze toward Qin Jinhuan, who was quiet the whole time, his tone changed. “However, Old Master Qin, since your grandson has caused such a great loss to your company, shouldn’t you teach him a lesson?”

“I have already removed his position as the CEO and ordered him to leave the company.”

“Oh? Is that going to make him remember his mistakes?”

Qin Wentao sensed the hidden meaning behind Yi Yunzhe’s words. He piped up at once, “Mr. Yi, do you have any better ideas to make people remember their mistakes?”

“There are a lot. But I see that Old Master Qin loves his grandson very dearly. For sure, he wouldn’t bear to use harsh measures.”

“Mr. Yi, if you have something to say, please speak out.” Qin Xianzhi replied patiently.

Yi Yunzhe smiled faintly. “Ever since I’ve taken the position as the CEO of the Yuchi Industry, Young Master Qin has caused me a lot of trouble. Although I am not a person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance, there are still some things that I’m mad about. Fine, Old Master Qin, I am a magnanimous person, so let me be frank. The conditions I’ve attached today aren’t about making things difficult for you, just about venting out the anger in me. I shall make everything clear now. Old Master Qin, if you give him a slap in front of me, I will immediately sign the agreement without attaching conditions. What do you think?”

“Hmph!” Qin Jinhuan turned to leave the ward.

“Huan, you can’t leave!” Qin Wentao quickly stopped him.

“Move aside!”

“Just take the slap and you’ll give a bright future for the Qing Tian Group, and even take your late mother’s huge inheritance with you…”

“Get lost!”

Yi Yunzhe added with a smile, “And you can give Cheng Xiang his freedom too. Isn’t it worth it? Opportunities don’t knock twice. Young Master Qin, you should think twice before you act.”

“Yi Yunzhe!” Qin Jinhuan’s eyes were filled with rage.

Yi Yunzhe shrugged and smiled. “I just want your grandpa to make you remember your mistakes. It’s not me who’s going to punish you. Why are you glaring at me like that?”

Qin Wentao quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes. It’s not an outsider who’s going to slap you, but your grandpa. Even if this goes out, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Just…”

“Shut up!”

Seeing Qin Jinhuan refuse, Dong Yueyun couldn’t help but persuade him too. “Huan, we all have attachment to the Qing Tian Group. For its better future, what is there to make fuss about being wronged this time? I hope you…”

“Shut up, all of you!”

At Qin Xiaozhi’s order, Dong Yueyun and Qin Wentao held their tongues obediently, but they couldn’t help and gaze anxiously at Qin Xiaozhi, hoping that he could make Qin Jinhuan give in.

“Huan.” Qin Xiaozhi sighed, and there were traces of reluctance in his weak, begging voice. “We have said everything that we should and shouldn’t. Now that the fate of Qing Tian Group and my health are in your hands, I wish upon you to look at the bigger picture. Even if you are going to suffer, I hope you can bear with me this time. After that, I will definitely make it up to you as much as I can. Wentao, bring me a pen.”

“Oh, okay.”

Qin Wentao who received the order immediately took out a pen before he removed its cap and handed it to his father. He quickly opened the file containing the agreement for transfer of inheritance rights, then drew the document out and flipped it to the page where the signature was required. Seeing his father holding the pen, ready to sign, he suddenly got worried and stopped his father in a whisper, “Dad, he hasn’t agreed yet.”

Qin Xiaozhi gave him a stern look before signing his name on the document. He inserted it back into the file, then got onto his feet and walked toward Qin Jinhuan before shoving the file into his hands. Only then did he speak slowly, “Huan, now that all of your mother’s inheritance belongs to you, don’t let me down.”

With a deeply conflicted expression, Qin Jinhuan clutched onto the file for a long while, eventually losing the courage to hand it over.

What mattered to him wasn’t how much inheritance his mother had left, but to whom it belonged to. He would even be willing to donate all of them at this moment as long as it didn’t fall into the hands of Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun.

If he rejected this opportunity now, the inheritance would fall into the hands of Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun, and he feared that his mother’s soul would never rest in peace.

Sigh…

“Huan…”

Hearing his grandpa’s trembling cries, Qin Jinhuan looked up out of instinct, only to see his grandpa’s head that was covered with gray hair, which shook his heart once again.

His headstrong grandpa never bowed down easily. If this had happened during his grandpa’s young and glory days, he would have never yielded, even if it would inflict heavy damage to the Qing Tian Group.

After all, one’s spirit, courage and insight shrinks with age.

“Old Master Qin, I have to rest now. If you can’t deal with your grandson, let us forget about this.” Yi Yunzhe was getting impatient from waiting.

“Mr. Yi, please wait.” Qin Xiaozhi immediately grabbed Qin Jinhuan and urged him. “Huan, if you do as Mr. Yi says, not only will I fulfill the things I’ve said, I will also formally recognize Mu Yu’s status, is that fine to you?”

Qin Jinhuan was still hesitant.

He didn’t want to become the laughing stock of that despicable Yi Yunzhe.

“Dad, are you alright?” Qin Wentao shouted all of a sudden.

Qin Jinhuan fixed his eyes on his grandpa, whose face blushed faintly with thin sheets of sweat covering his forehead, and he was slumping to the ground. Recognizing that his grandpa’s illness was striking again, Qin Jinhuan rushed to help him out.

“Here is his medicine!” Qi Hao hurriedly handed over Qin Xiaozhi’s medicine just in time.

Qin Xiaozhi took the medicine and drank some water, then sat for a few moments before finally catching his breath. He pushed everyone aside and grabbed Qin Jinhuan’s arm again, staring hopefully at him.

After a long silence, Qin Jinhuan bent his knees, raising his head slightly. “Hit me.”

“Huan…”

“I’m ready.”

“Good boy.” Qin Xiaozhi slowly raised his hand.

“Hold on! Move aside, everyone!” Yi Yunzhe suddenly ordered in a loud voice. “Record everything properly! I want everything to look clear.”

It turned out that he had had his men prepare a camera to capture this moment.

He added just in time, “Old Master Qin, don’t lay your hands too lightly.”

Qin Jinhuan put on a placid look and didn’t resist, ignoring everyone else in the ward. He lowered his eyes, silently waiting for his grandpa to make a move.

The ward was very quiet as everyone fixed their eyes on the pair of grandfather and grandson of the Qin family.

Slap!

A loud and clear slap followed by a click of the camera suddenly echoed through the ward.

Yi Yunzhe’s loud claps followed immediately. “Good, that was a nice slap! Haha! Where’s the agreement?”

“It’s here.”

Qin Wentao eagerly handed the agreement to Yi Yunzhe and smiled in delight upon seeing Yi Yunzhe signing the document. He thanked him repeatedly, “Finally, it’s signed! The Qing Tian Group is saved at last! All thanks to you, Mr. Yi, and the Yuchi Industry!”

Still expressionless, Qin Jinhuan got up slowly, clutching the file tight as he prepared to leave the ward, before Yi Yunzhe called up to him. “Young Master Qin, as we agreed verbally, I’ve signed the document, and will not pursue legal claims against Cheng Xiang. I’m keeping my words, so don’t put the blame on me if something goes wrong.”

Sensing a hidden meaning in his words, Qin Jinhuan paused and turned around. Before he could ask, Qin Wentao chuckled and beamed. “Huan, do you really think you’re holding the agreement for the transfer of your mother’s inheritance? It’s fake! Fake! Your mother’s inheritance has been transferred under Yueyun and my name yesterday, and I have already invested them for Xi.”

“What did you say?!”

Dong Yueyun explained triumphantly, “What Wentao means is that the agreement in your hands is fake! It’s just a prop for today’s show.”

Qin Jinhuan immediately opened the file, only to realize that what they said was true. The document was useless.

Grandpa had lied to him!

He glared at his grandpa with fury, but Grandpa chose to ignore him and spoke lightly instead, “Mr. Yi, the show is over. It’s time for us to leave.”

Yi Yunzhe waved his hand with a smile. “Thank you for your cooperation, Old Master Qin. I enjoyed myself with today’s show. Remember to check online for the photos of you punishing your grandson later.”

“How dare you…”

Feeling a pang on his chest, Qin Jinhuan spouted a mouthful of blood.
