My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 79
Chapter 79 Qi Hao was Helpless
At the waiter’s guidance, Qin Wentao arrived at the most secluded room within the private club.
The lights in the room were switched off, hence it was pitch black. There were occasional flashes of light from the corner of the room.
Qin Wentao turned on the lights without difficulty and saw Qi Hao seated in the corner, smoking. He was not surprised and walked over while smiling before taking a seat next to him.
“You’re here?” Qi Hao said while stubbing out the cigarette.
“Yes. Why the sour expression? It wasn’t easy to be where we are today, we should be happy.” Qin Wentao smiled and poured tea for himself.
Qi Hao clearly did not want to speak much and went straight to the point. “Did you bring it?”
“Yes I have, here it is.” Qin Wentao took out a file from his briefcase.
Qi Hao took the file and opened it. With a sour expression, he said, “Why is there just one real estate agreement and twenty million? Isn’t the payment supposed to be one each for me and my brother?”
“I am only the interim CEO of Qing Tian Group. Once you assist me to officially attain the CEO position, I will naturally provide you the remaining documents and money.”
In that instant, Qi Hao was furious and smacked the file hard onto the coffee table. “Whether or not you officially become the CEO is your problem. Based on our agreement, as long as my brother and I made it that Young Master could not sign the Phoenix Gully agreement and drag him down from his position as CEO, our mission would be accomplished. You would then carry out the promise on your end and reward us. Everything else has nothing to do with us. Yet, you are telling me this now! Are you trying to go back on your words?”
“Don’t get too agitated! I don’t mean it in that way. I’d love for this to be a smooth partnership,” Qin Wentao said while taking out a tissue to wipe off the stain spilt on him. He then smiled and explained, “I have long prepared the set of rewards for your brother. As long as you help to instigate the old man to convene a board meeting to officially announce me as the CEO, I will give you the rewards immediately.”
“We would not be able to do that.”
“Why not?”
“My brother and I never brought up matters related to the company in front of the Boss. If we do so now, Boss would easily see through our intentions. Once we are discovered, all our effort would go down the drain. It’s not worth it!”
“What you said makes sense.” Qin Wentao did not insist on his plan. He sipped his tea and took out an extremely small plastic bag from his briefcase. He then placed it in front of Qi Hao and said, “Since that plan wouldn’t work, let’s change it up.”
Upon seeing the pill, Qi Hao felt that something was amiss. His expression changed. “This…”
Qin Wentao did not bother hiding the truth. “It’s a pill that induces cerebral hemorrhage. Figure out a way to make him swallow this.”
Qi Hao was shocked. “Y-you want to murder our boss? He is your father!”
Qin Wentao pretended and threw his hands up. “Do I look like I have a choice? Don’t worry, he is old. It would be normal if he suddenly passed away from cerebral hemorrhage. Nobody would suspect us.”
“No, no way! Our boss treated me and my brother very well. We have betrayed him and that already made us guilty. We will never murder him!” Qi Hao rejected Qin Wentao’s proposition.
“Once everything is settled, I will add another fifty million to the existing rewards.”
“I cannot bring myself to do so!”
Qin Wentao casually sipped his tea. “Fifty million in addition to the agreed forty million and two mansions. In total, the reward would be worth around two billion. There is no way the both of you could ever earn that much money in your life. Why don’t you seize this opportunity to make the money?”
“But…” Qi Hao was convinced but he could not bring himself to do so. He did not have the courage and after being silent for some time he ultimately decided, “I really cannot bring myself to do it. How about this, I will try and provide an opportunity for you or Miss Wanqing, so you can…”
Qin Wentao was getting upset. “If we could do it ourselves, why would I still spend fifty million and ask for your help?”
Ever since Qin Wentao took advantage of his father’s illness and forced him to rewrite his will, his father had been extremely vigilant toward Qin Wentao’s family. Even though there had been a huge improvement in their relationship, his father still kept his guard up. Thus, when such actions had to be taken, there was no other way but to succeed. Otherwise, it would be the end of his world and there was no turning back. He had spent so much time and effort to get to where he was today, so he would not take such huge risks himself.
“I cannot accept the fifty million and just want the previous reward we agreed on. You should think of another way in regards to this new plan of yours.” Qi Hao picked up the file and got up to leave.
Just then, the door opened and Dong Yueyun came in from outside. She blocked Qi Hao’s way and coldly said, “You have no choice but to help us even if you don’t want to.”
Qi Hao glared at her. “What do you mean?”
Dong Yueyun gave a cold smile and said, “Who was the one who manipulated the video of Yi Yunzhe and Mu Yu? Who was the one who incited the old man to sentence Mu Yu with the family punishment and also allowed Mr. Yu to tip Qin Jinhuan off, resulting in him missing out on the signing ceremony of Phoenix Gully?”
Qin Wentao immediately understood what his wife meant and threw her an admiring glance. He proudly added, “I was the one who discussed the collaboration with Yuchi Industry. However, I was not the one who initially persuaded the old man to collaborate with them. I was also not the one who coerced him to agree to Yi Yunzhe’s demands nor was I the one who put on an act and humiliated Huan.”
Dong Yueyun smiled at his husband as she knew that he understood her plan. She then purposely sighed. “My husband and I did not do anything bad. Everything we did was for the benefit of Qing Tian Group. In case we accidentally blurt out all the things that I just mentioned, the old man wouldn’t blame it on us. He would just go after the initial perpetrator.”
“You have been working for the old man for many years. I am sure you know what he despises the most. You are also clear about what means he would utilize to take revenge and how horrific it could be.” Qin Wentao saw that Qi Hao was breaking out in cold sweat so he continued in an apologetic voice, “Qi Hao, I am someone with tight lips. However, when I am unhappy and after a few drinks, I might spout nonsense. If I accidentally blab about these incidents, you and your brother cannot blame me for it!”
Qi Hao begrudgingly said, “There is nothing for you to gain from exposing us!”
Dong Yueyun took over. “We were not part of the incidents. Even if you try to drag Wentao into this mess, the old man would not treat Wentao the same way he treats you. After all, Wentao is his own son. At worst, we could use Chengxi as a scapegoat. I am sure you know the old man’s weakness; he’s overprotective of his family. Wentao had always been messing around in the company and getting in the way of Qin Jinhuan. Yet, the old man still kept him in the company. From that, I am sure you understand that the old man would only push the blame to you and your brother. After all, the both of you are outsiders. I am sure your families would be implicated as well.”
Qin Wentao continued, “Even a fool would know how to choose between owning two mansions and enjoying a luxurious life with their family compared to the entire family going broke and constantly being in danger. I am sure you are smart enough and that you don’t need me and my wife to teach you which option to choose from.”
The couples’ words pissed Qi Hao off. However, as someone who was not good with his words, there was nothing else he could do other than curse them for being so despicable. Other than that, he was helpless and could only blame himself for being so careless and greedy.
“Qi Hao, I know you are someone who is loyal.” Qin Wentao walked forward and patted him on the shoulders as he put on an extremely friendly front. “However, no matter how loyal you are, you have to make sure you and your family are safe first, right? I am sure you would not want your family to suffer just because of someone who is unrelated to you. You wouldn’t want them to hate you for the rest of their lives, would you?”
Qi Hao froze and stared at him for a couple of seconds. Eventually, his gaze softened and he took a deep breath.
“So what’s your decision?” Qin Wentao, was staring at him with a glint in his eye.
Qi Hao picked up the plastic bag on the coffee table and mumbled, “Do I have another choice?”
“That’s right!” Qin Wentao excitedly smacked his own leg. “As expected, you are a wise man that submits to his fate!”
Dong Yueyun could not hold her excitement and quickly reminded, “You must get things settled as soon as possible. That way we can utilize the old man’s anger at Qin Jinhuan in these two days and it would be easier to come up with an explanation.”
“You better get the reward prepared.”
Qin Wentao gave him an okay sign. “We have everything prepared and will be awaiting the good news from your side.”
Qi Hao glanced at both of them without saying another word. He put on his sunglasses and cap as well as lifted up his collar before walking out the door.
After Qin Wentao locked the door, he happily lifted Dong Yueyun up and spun her around in circles. He also complimented her. “How lucky am I to have a wife that is so intelligent and efficient. Not only did you resolve the problems Qi Hao caused from the past a few times, you even thought of a backup plan for us.”
Dong Yueyun smiled, pleased. “He is a dumba*s that only thinks highly of himself. Let alone resolving the problems he causes, even killing him would be an easy feat.”
Qin Wentao suddenly became concerned. “Dear, we don’t have money for the mansion and yet we promised to give him another fifty million. When things are set, how are we going to come up with such a huge sum of money? Xi has money under his name but we can’t use it. Even if I officially became the CEO, for the sake of the future of the company, I cannot appropriate public funds for my personal use.”
Although Qin Xiaozhi had transferred all of Lin Sijun’s inheritance over to Qin Chengxi, the rule was that Qin Chengxi could only gain access to it once he turned twenty-five years old. To Qin Wentao and his wife, the inheritance was untouchable.
“Are you really willing to give them that much money?”
“Of course not! However, we have no choice as we are bound by the agreement.”
Dong Yueyun then coldly laughed. “Once they murder the old man, they would be murderers. Why do we have to deal with moral agreements and contracts with murderers?”
Qin Wentao’s eyes lit up. “Dear, you mean…”
“Now that the old man has severed ties with Huan, you would be the head of the Qin family and the company after he dies. By then, who wouldn’t show you some respect in An City? Even if Qi Hao ratted you out in front of the police, he wouldn’t have any evidence. We just have to give benefit to every party involved and the incident would definitely be brushed under the rug.”
“Ah, why didn’t I think of this?” Qin Wentao smacked himself on the head and grumbled. “Dear, if you had reminded me earlier, I wouldn’t have let Qi Hao take the file away. That way, we would have zero evidence and that would be perfect!”
Dong Yueyun smiled. “We have already taken away half of his promised reward which is why he was displeased earlier. If we completely revoke it, it would definitely spark more unhappiness. If he chose not to cooperate with us or purposely drags the matter longer, eventually we would be the ones suffering the most. You are always thinking about dealing with all the inconsequential matters. If you had listened to my advice and spent more money to bribe the Qi brothers, you might have long been the CEO.”
Qin Wentao was embarrassed from getting ridiculed and awkwardly smiled. “How could I know that they were greedy?! Sigh. By the way, would there be any problems arising from the rewards that we gave Qi Hao just now?”
“Don’t worry, the real estate agreement and bank card was set up through certain underground organizations. There wouldn’t be a problem.”
He held her face and kissed her hard. “Luckily my wife is so detailed and meticulous. You really are my best personal assistant.”
“Of course, just look at me…”
Just then, Qin Wentao’s phone rang. He saw the caller and immediately gestured for his wife to keep quiet before answering the phone.
