Qin Chuan had no idea that his phone call would elicit such a strong reaction from his parents, who would drive all night from Yongnan County to the capital, a journey spanning thousands of miles.
At this moment, he was speeding on the road to the capital, arriving just after eleven o'clock at night.
When the car stopped beneath an apartment building, Qin Chuan hesitated. He sat in the car, nearly finishing half a pack of cigarettes, yet remained motionless.
Because he suddenly didn't dare to go up!
Li Ya lived in the apartment building. The courtyard house was still under renovation and not yet habitable. Thinking about what he needed to discuss with Li Ya, Qin Chuan felt immense fear.
It was only then that he realized how impulsive he had been when he left Longcheng, a completely selfish act.
People, sometimes, in a fit of pique, can do many crazy things.
What he intended to tell Li Ya was so unfair, and would cause such harm to a woman. He also felt he was not human, otherwise, how could such a thought arise?
"Damn it, Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan, you're truly insane. Don't hurt a woman like this!"
"Either have nothing, or be fair. Hurting a woman like this, are you even a man!"
Qin Chuan slapped himself. The sound of the slap was clear and loud in the car.
Then, the Mercedes-Benz drove away from the apartment building.
Time flew by, and it was the next day.
Qin Chuan first visited the laboratory, then went to the futures trading hall, where his brother-in-law had been overseeing things.
Seeing Yang Conglong, Qin Chuan felt an uncontrollable surge of anger. Yang Zimo's pregnancy, such a huge event, and he hadn't been told anything. Was he even a good friend?
He had brought this guy along twice to trade futures. The first time he made nearly twenty million, and this time it was at least sixty to seventy million. Together, that was over eighty or even ninety million.
What a terrifying number!
"Huh? Qin Chuan, when did you get to the capital?"
Yang Conglong was overjoyed to see Qin Chuan appear and stood up to welcome him.
"Get lost, I don't want to see you!"
Qin Chuan completely ignored Yang Conglong's enthusiasm, bypassed him, and stood beside the traders to check the account's profitability.
He found that the market had been fluctuating recently, resulting in only small losses, which was well within expectations.
"Starting today, withdraw your principal and profits. We're done!"
Qin Chuan said coldly to Yang Conglong, who had followed him.
Yang Conglong was completely stunned. The two traders in the VIP room were also bewildered, not understanding what had happened.
"Qin Chuan, no... what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly saying such things out of the blue?"
Yang Conglong's eyes widened.
Qin Chuan sneered, "Don't you know what you did? I'm asking you, why didn't you tell me that Xiao Mo was pregnant, such a big event?"
Yang Conglong's expression froze, his face filled with guilt and embarrassment. "You... you know everything?"
"Qin Chuan, I'm truly wronged! It's not that I didn't want to tell you, but my parents and Xiao Mo explicitly forbade me from telling you! Otherwise, I wouldn't be a member of the Yang family anymore!"
"I was in a difficult position too. You don't know, I've been tormented lately, like a pancake, burnt on both sides..."
Qin Chuan's face was icy, his sharp gaze making Yang Conglong flinch.
"Starting today, go back to Longcheng. I'll handle things here!"
Qin Chuan said coldly.
"Qin Chuan! No, Brother Qin, Uncle Qin, please, don't kick me out. I know I was wrong..."
Yang Conglong's face changed dramatically. Who could give up such a lucrative opportunity? If Qin Chuan really kicked him out, he would regret it to death.
But Qin Chuan ignored his pleas and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Yang Conglong quickly chased after him, like a tail wagging behind, his face fawning, constantly apologizing.
By the time Qin Chuan reached his car and was about to open the door, he finally turned around, staring coldly at his brother-in-law's fawning expression.
"Since you don't want to withdraw the funds, fine, I'll give you another chance!"
"Brother Qin, no! Uncle Qin, tell me! As long as I don't have to withdraw the funds, I'll agree to whatever you say this time!"
Yang Conglong said obsequiously.
"Starting today, you go back to Longcheng and closely monitor all the movements of everyone in your family. Understand, everyone in your family."
"If there's any slightest disturbance, you must inform me immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for making you pay back the principal and interest!"
Qin Chuan said.
Yang Conglong was completely dumbfounded. After a long while, he finally came to his senses. "You want me to be a spy!"
"Qin Chuan, did you have a falling out with my parents and Xiao Mo?"
He wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart, but his mind had never been focused on the right things.
Qin Chuan didn't bother to respond, turned, and got into the car, driving away.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw Yang Conglong still standing there, lost in thought. A smile appeared on his face. Damn it, this time it was a warning to his brother-in-law.
This guy had profited so much from him, yet he didn't even tell him about Teacher Yang's pregnancy, such a major event. What use was he? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
It was impossible to actually kick Yang Conglong's investment money out; it was all a tactic.
Since his future father-in-law was playing mind games with him, he had to follow suit, otherwise, he would truly become a puppet manipulated at will!
Qin Chuan hadn't slept all night, tossing and turning, contemplating a counter-strategy.
Finally, he realized there was no solution.
This morning, after washing his face, he had an idea.
Since he couldn't win, couldn't he just escape?
He absolutely could not do such a shameless thing to Li Ya; it was too unfair. Since that was the case, he would stall!
If he, the protagonist, didn't show up, how could they meet and discuss engagement and marriage?
Anyway, Yang Zimo was already carrying his child. He wasn't the one in a hurry; others were.
Although this approach was also somewhat unethical, Qin Chuan truly had no other choice.
He had decided not to return to Longcheng for the time being and would stay in the capital.
The Xiaomi factory was already operating normally, and he felt at ease with Fang Rumei in charge.
He now had two hundred million cash on hand. Keeping it idle was just waste, so he might as well look for other business opportunities.
While Qin Chuan was lost in thought, the car arrived at Xingchen Exchange. He went upstairs as usual and knocked on the door of a VIP trading room.
The door opened, and Ding Ling answered.
"Wow, our stock god is back! You haven't been here for a long time!"
Ding Ling was incredibly excited to see Qin Chuan, her eyes looking at him like an idol.
In fact, since his identity as "Juicer" was exposed, Qin Chuan hadn't been to the capital for half a month. Partly to avoid the limelight, and partly because there were many things to deal with in Longcheng.
Qin Chuan's gaze fell into the room, and his eyes met Li Ya's, who was sitting in front of a computer. The moment their eyes connected, Li Ya immediately turned her head away, giving him her back.
"Alas, it was all because of that 'Juicer' incident that I haven't dared to go out lately. I have to wear a mask even when I go out. Plus, there have been many things happening in Longcheng recently, so it was delayed for so many days."
"Yesterday, after I finished my work in the afternoon, I set off for the capital overnight!"
Qin Chuan explained.
The purpose of his detailed explanation was obvious.
Ding Ling subtly glanced at Li Ya, who was sitting behind him, and immediately invited Qin Chuan to come in and sit down, offering him tea and water.
