My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Yi Yunzhe’s Arrogance
It was Yi Yunzhe who called Qin Wentao.
Qin Wentao knew what Yi Yunzhe was going to ask, so he quickly said, “President Yi, no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he’s not willing to leave An City. I’m figuring out other ways to persuade him…”
“Why waste your time thinking? Don’t force him if he doesn’t want to.”
Not expecting Yi Yunzhe to say that, Qin Wentao was stunned. “President Yi, didn’t you tell me to persuade him to leave?”
“I just told you to do that to test him. I would have asked you to persuade him not to leave if he really intended to leave An City.”
“Why?”
“If he leaves An City, where should I find him if I want to have some fun later on?”
“Oh, so that’s your real intention! Why didn’t you say so earlier? You gave me a shock!” Qin Wentao let off a sigh of relief.
“Why? Worried about your son?”
Fearing that he was misunderstood, Qin Wentao explained tactfully, “My son, Chengxi, is very obedient. I have never worried about him.”
By saying that, it implied that he didn’t see Qin Jinhuan as his son at all.
Yi Yunzhe sneered to himself when he heard that. He then asked, “How is Qin Jinhuan now?”
“Terrible, very terrible.”
“Oh?”
“I talked to him about his mother’s inheritance, and he got so angry that he spat a lot of blood. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was at the hospital and the medical staff treating him in time, I guess he would have fainted if I continued saying more.”
Yi Yunzhe burst into laughter. “He got what was coming to him!”
“I can say that these two days have hit him hard. Yet he’s quite resilient for not breaking down.”
Qin Wentao didn’t sound sympathetic when he said this. Instead, he sounded like he was dejected at not defeating Qin Jinhuan.
How did Yi Yunzhe not understand what Qin Wentao was implying? With a smile, Yi Yunzhe said, “He is now at the edge of crumbling. You have to strike while the iron is hot. You should take care of that old man as soon as possible so that you can take over as the head of the Qin family. Once you acquire the position, you can be rest assured that you have defeated Qin Jinhuan completely.”
“You’re right, President Yi. Don’t worry, I’ve been planning on it.”
“That’s good. You should know that I stopped signing all contracts related to the Phoenix Gulley project with Qing Tian Group for now. I’ll sign those contracts once you become the CEO of the company so that it’ll boost your prestige.”
“I understand. I appreciate your kindness, President Yi.” Qin Wentao nodded his head profusely.
“But those contracts can’t be delayed for too long, or there would be problems in the future. You have to hurry!”
“I will.”
“Then I’ll be waiting for the good news.”
Yi Yunzhe ended the phone call and boastfully looked at his father, who was sitting not far away from him. “Dad, are you satisfied now with the chaos happening in the Qin family?”
Yi Boxiong paused for a few seconds as if he just came to his senses. “The reason you didn’t sign the Phoenix Gulley project’s contracts is not because you want to boost Qin Wentao’s prestige, but because our company lacks funds. And more importantly you’re afraid of Qin Xiaozhi, aren’t you? Even if you don’t sign the contracts, you won’t be sitting there doing nothing if there was something wrong with the Phoenix Gulley project to begin with.”
Yi Yunzhe laughed awkwardly now that he was seen through by his father. “Qin Xiaozhi is an extremely cunning old fox. Unless he gives the whole authority of the company to that idiot Qin Wentao, I wouldn’t dare to be careless. After all, this is the biggest project Yuchi has ever handled.”
“If Qin Xiaozhi hadn’t been diagnosed with brain atrophy, and was still the powerful man who used to dominate the business world, he would have rather borne the losses than hand the Phoenix Gulley project over to Yuchi at its cost price. He wouldn’t allow Yuchi to benefit easily. He wouldn’t have followed his useless sons’ orders, and would have never agreed to act with you to insult Qin Jinhuan, who is valuable to him! Back then, in order to protect Qin Jinhuan, he had given two hundred million and a big project which cost a few billions to our family. Otherwise, Yuchi wouldn’t be where we are today.”
“So dad, you mean that…”
“The old fox, who was once feared and respected by everyone, has now become sick and senile. Yunzhe, you overestimated him.” A sense of pity could be heard in Yi Boxiong’s tone, but there was more gloating and apathy in his voice.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“If Qin Xiaozhi was as capable as he was in the old days, you couldn’t do anything even if he handed over the company to Qin Wentao. Don’t forget that Qin Jinhuan was just a brat who made trouble everywhere when Qin Xiaozhi passed the company to him. He was much less capable than Qin Wentao.”
Meanwhile, Lu Xuejiao, Yi Yunzhe’s mother, who had been silently standing at the side silently, started to get anxious. “Yunzhe, since you don’t have to be afraid of that old man anymore, you should sign the contracts as soon as possible so that things won’t go wrong in the future. This golden opportunity doesn’t knock twice. As for the problem regarding funds, we don’t have to worry much since we have already gained the upper hand.”
Yi Yunzhe comforted his mother with a smile, then turned to his father. “Dad, do you understand what Qin Wentao meant when he said that he would ‘take care’ of the old man in the Qin family?”
“Oh?” Yi Boxiong was interested to hear more. “Don’t tell me that he’s going to do something and harm his own father?”
Yi Yunzhe didn’t say anything, but just responded with a smile.
Lu Xuejiao was shocked. “My god! He wouldn’t be that vicious, would he? Qin Xiaozhi is his father!”
“Neither his son nor his father is more important than the profits he desires. Besides, he has been holding a grudge against his father who has been neglecting him for so many years.”
“Did he do that because of your probing?”
Seeing the approval flash in his father’s eyes, Yi Yunzhe felt proud and nodded. “In order to lure out the devil in his heart without doubting my intentions, I’ve put in a lot of effort. I told him that I would only sign the contracts once he becomes the CEO of the company in order to boost his prestige, but it is just to rush him. As long as Qin Xiaozhi is still conscious, he would never hand this position to Qin Wentao completely. In other words, once Qin Wentao becomes the CEO, it means that Qin Xiaozhi is at the edge of death and Yuchi Industry would take over Qing Tian Group very soon.”
Yi Boxiong’s eyes lit up at once. “Then, it means that we can take revenge on behalf of your brother very soon!”
“What about Qin Jinhuan? How should we deal with him?” Lu Xuejiao was worried.
“Him?” Yi Yunzhe sneered. “If he is still alive after spitting blood, I will take my time to have fun with him until the day he dies so that he will regret his wrongdoings to my brother back then.”
“Good, well done. Put more pressure on Qin Wentao so that he starts his plans quickly. I can’t wait to see the Qin family ruined!” Yi Boxiong was unable to hold back his excitement.
“Patience, Dad. Even if Qin Wentao is incapable of becoming the CEO, with the Phoenix Gulley projects alone—and as long as we have enough funds to sustain them—Yuchi Industry will be able to ruin the Qing Tian Group gloriously within three years’ time. I have faith.”
Listening to her son’s words, Lu Xuejiao clapped happily. “Son, you’re brilliant! Mummy is so proud of you!”
“Alright, it’s getting late now. Go get some rest. I’m going to gather funds and get back to you later.” Yi Boxiong patted Yi Yunzhe’s shoulder with a satisfying look and stood up to go out.
“Boxiong…”
“The date today is an odd number, so I have to stay over at Zhen’s place. Rules shouldn’t be broken just because I’m happy,” Yi Boxiong said and left the ward.
“Rules shouldn’t be broken? He just misses that sultry b*tch!” Lu Xuejiao spat angrily on the ground behind the ward door.
Lu Baozhen was Yi Boxiongs’old lover. Both of them had a son named Yi Sizhe who had just turned twenty this year. Yi Sizhe had also recently gotten a job at Yuchi Industry.
Yi Yunzhe had been used to this for a long time. Neither did he scold his father along his mother, nor comforted her. He just closed his eyes as if he was deep in thought.
Lu Xuejiao was frustrated by her son’s attitude and said angrily, “If Yi Sizhe was the one who would make our family proud and seek revenge for your elder brother, your father would do more than just complimenting him!”
Yi Yunzhe didn’t mind the instigation from his mother. Instead, he said with a smile, “Knowing that Yuchi lacks funds right now, I could have actually bargained to acquire the Phoenix Gulley projects at a lower price, but I still gave Qin Xiaozhi some profit. Mummy, do you know why I did so?”
“Why?” Lu Xuejiao didn’t know the reason.
“To repay Qin Xiaozhi and Qin Jinhuan for their kindness to me.”
“What kindness?!”
“If they hadn’t killed Yi Yunrui back then, how could I have gotten the chance to take on an important role in Yuchi? How would I have a chance to show my capabilities?”
Yi Yunrui was the son of Yi Boxiong and his first wife, who died at a young age. Feeling like he owed her, Yi Boxiong had always favored Yi Yunrui. Later, he married Lu Xuejiao and had his second son, Yi Yunzhe, but even so, he still prioritized Yi Yunrui.
Although she felt that her son’s words made sense, Lu Xuejiao remained puzzled. “Since they don’t know that you’re doing this to repay them, and you can’t let the others know that, aren’t you wasting money?”
“I don’t need anyone else to know. It’s fine as long as I’m happy.”
Yi Yunzhe understood that the happiness in his heart wasn’t comprehensible by others, thus he didn’t explain much to his mother.
Indeed, Lu Xuejiao couldn’t understand his act, but, out of the reverence and respect she had for his son, she stopped asking. She then sat on the bed and advised him, “My son, I know that you’re doing well now, but you shouldn’t be arrogant. Always be careful of whatever you do. Lu Baozhen, that sultry b*tch, has been hoping for you to make mistakes in order to dethrone you from being the president of the company and replace you with her own son, who is not capable at all!”
“I know.” Yi Yunzhe waved his hand and lay down slowly.
If it wasn’t because of Yi Sizhe keeping his eyes on him covetously, Yi Yunzhe wouldn’t have let go of Mu Yu so easily.
As soon as Mu Yu crossed his mind, he felt unwilling but he couldn’t do anything about it. The more he thought about it, the more he detested the Qin family; his desire to destroy the Qin family grew more intense.
It was another bright sunny morning.
The morning breeze was fresh after the heavy rain. Mu Yu looked radiant as she was in a very good mood. She was humming a little tune as she walked around, and Qin Jinhuan was influenced by her good mood. Seeing that she was sweeping the floor, he deliberately crumpled up some tissues into balls and threw them at her. Mu Yu was provoked by his action and rushed over to fight with him several times, and both of them started to quarrel playfully.
As they were playing around, Mu Yu’s phone rang. Her phone turned on as it was fully charged, all thanks to the power bank lent by a nurse in the morning.
Seeing her take out her mobile phone to answer the call, Qin Jinhuan unintentionally glanced at the screen and his face turned dark. Realizing that something was wrong, Mu Yu got flustered for a moment.
