Chapter 647 Dragging them all down
Regardless of Huo Sinian's purpose, as long as she doesn't change her current life, he can't influence her.
If it's truly over completely, and there's no further entanglement, that would naturally be the best outcome.
But if all of this is just his sudden quirky hobby or a new game, then maintaining her current living environment is also a way for her to protect herself.
"Are you sure you don't need me to come?" Qin Mo asked.
"No need." Lin Tan didn't want to cause him too much trouble. "You just do your thing."
Qin Mo gradually loosened his grip on the steering wheel, and after a long silence, he finally replied with a single word: "Okay."
Lin Tan: "Thank you."
Qin Mo: "There's no need to be so polite with me."
Lin Tan: "I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Hearing this, Qin Mo knew he hadn't been able to get into her heart; she always treated him like an outsider. In the end, all his words boiled down to a single "okay."
A moment later.
The two ended the call.
Qin Mo sat in the car with a forlorn look in his eyes.
When they first met again, he knew very well that Lin Tan had feelings for him, but now, he was not so sure.
Neither her distant and polite attitude towards him nor the content of her conversation with his mother showed any affection; she seemed genuinely trying to keep her distance from him.
Amidst a variety of emotions.
A feeling of oppression settled in my chest.
Just as I was trying to figure out how to understand her true thoughts, my phone rang.
Seeing that it was Qin Luofeng calling, he suppressed his emotions and answered: "What is it?"
"Dad knows I went to my aunt to get a letter of forgiveness, and now he's throwing a tantrum here." Qin Luofeng looked at the furious man and explained the situation, "He even wants to find someone to kill Jiang Ruan and my aunt."
"Where is he?" Qin Mo's voice turned serious.
Qin Luofeng: "At home."
Qin Mo: "Have someone keep an eye on him and prevent him from using his phone. I'll be right there."
Qin Luofeng: "Okay."
Qin Mo hung up the phone and drove home.
It felt like everything was happening all at once at this moment.
Qin Luofeng's situation was not good. Qin Muchuan sat angrily in his chair. If his hand hadn't been broken and beaten by Li Zhishen, he probably would have slapped Qin Luofeng just now.
"Are you trying to drive me crazy?!" Qin Muchuan was furious. "You know what kind of relationship I have with Qin An. How can you apologize to her and ask for a letter of forgiveness at a time like this? Where does that leave me?!"
“Don’t accept the letter of forgiveness; we’ll be in prison for a long time,” Qin Luofeng said truthfully.
Qin Muchuan: "Have you considered where I'd put my face if I accepted a letter of forgiveness?!"
His persistence over the years was to prove to everyone that he was right.
It is normal to make sacrifices in order to gain rights and interests.
Anyone who dares to block his way will be kicked away without hesitation.
But now.
His good son stomped his face on the ground.
“We were wrong in this matter.” Qin Luofeng now sees things clearly and is no longer as stubborn as before. “No matter how much we fight for the family property, we should not harm our own relatives.”
"Say that again!" Qin Muchuan was furious.
"Alright," Yu Peiyun advised, looking at Qin Muchuan, "If you don't want to apologize to Qin An, then so be it. Your son is still so young, why are you stopping him?"
"You're taking his side?" Qin Muchuan frowned slightly.
Yu Peiyun said, "Do you really want Luo Feng to stay in prison for several years or even more than ten years?"
“I never said I wanted him to stay for that long,” Qin Muchuan retorted. “If Jiang Ruan really has that much evidence, I will take full responsibility before the sentencing and try to get him the shortest possible sentence.”
“It’s no use,” Qin Luofeng said.
In the past, he wouldn't have been so direct.
But he really didn't want to go to jail.
He didn't want to spend his prime years in prison.
"Confessing in advance will lead to leniency," Qin Luofeng explained to him, "There's no point in talking about it after everything is settled."
Moreover, the evidence Jiang Ruan possesses is sufficient to sentence him.
Even if the father admits everything, it won't make a difference.
"So you've already planned to apologize to Qin An, admit your mistakes, and ask for a letter of forgiveness?" Qin Muchuan stared at him.
Qin Luofeng remained silent.
Qin Muchuan's chest heaved violently: "Get out! A spineless person like you doesn't deserve to be my son!"
Apologize to Qin An.
It would be better to kill him!
"Can integrity get you out of prison, or can it bring you any benefits?" Qin Luofeng asked this question for the first time, his bluntness surprising even Yu Peiyun.
She opened her mouth: "Luo Feng, you..."
“Once you are sentenced, you will be stripped of everything you have now,” Qin Luofeng said. “With Ning Jing around, you won’t receive any preferential treatment in prison.”
"Even if I die, I would never be as spineless as you!" Qin Muchuan insisted.
In his view, Qin Luofeng apologizing to Qin An was a disgrace to him.
It is a stain on his life.
"Call the housekeeper over here," Qin Muchuan said to Yu Peiyun. "Tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
Qin Luofeng: "Don't call him for him."
Qin Muchuan: "What did you say?"
Qin Luofeng: "The housekeeper is still under investigation and it's not appropriate for him to come over to discuss matters."
"I think you've gone too far." Qin Muchuan was furious at his words. "I am the head of the Qin family. As long as I'm alive, I will still be in charge of this family."
Qin Luofeng repeated the same two words: "Don't call out."
Caught in the middle, Yu Peiyun finally asked Qin Muchuan, "Why did you send the butler here?"
Qin Muchuan: "Let's talk business."
Yu Peiyun: "What do you want to talk about?"
"He wants the housekeeper to get rid of his aunt and Jiang Ruan." Qin Luofeng knew his purpose and exposed it without hesitation, "to drag them down with him."
Qin Muchuan looked at him with a gaze that seemed to want to devour him alive.
He never imagined that his most filial son would turn against him at the last moment.
"Do you really think so?" Yu Peiyun asked, frowning.
"So what if it is?" Qin Muchuan admitted without hesitation in front of his own people, "Judging from the behavior of these two unfilial sons, if I really get arrested, I'm afraid the Qin family will have changed its surname to Jiang by the time I get out!"
He used to rely on Qin Luofeng, thinking that even if Qin Mo couldn't be relied on, he would still be on his side.
But now.
He actually apologized to Qin An!
Since that's the case, he might as well deal with the mother and daughter before going in, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances that could lead to a change of ownership of the Qin family.
"You're being foolish!" Yu Peiyun slapped him. "Are you tired of being on the outside? If you really lay a hand on Jiang Ruan and Qin An, even if Qin Mo gets a lawyer to bail you out, it won't do you any good."
He was finally released on bail.
This tactic won't work if you actually commit a crime.
He will then be detained in a detention center until he is sentenced and transferred to prison.
Freedom is impossible.
"With his appearance, do you really think he would genuinely fight for me in court?" Qin Muchuan didn't believe a word of it.
Yu Peiyun: "If he wasn't sincere, why would he need to run around like this?"
He wouldn't have believed it before.
But after hearing Luo Feng say that Qin Mo had gone to great lengths to get Qin An to sign the letter of understanding, she knew that he genuinely wanted Luo Feng and Qin Muchuan to be safe and sound.
