Chapter 80: Confess and make amends to their dead souls!!
Qin Cangye had practiced martial arts before. His childhood experiences had instilled in him a certain trust and admiration for the power of force. He always believed that only with a strong fist could he defeat all those who bullied his mother.
This thought came to him when he mustered the courage to swing a chair at Qin Weishu at the age of eight. He subsequently enrolled in a martial arts class and continued training throughout his childhood. From elementary school to high school, he was unbeatable in school. No one dared to bully him, not just because of his social status, but also because of his aloof, distant air and his ability to knock even the thugs outside the school down with a few punches.
After going to college, he became much more restrained, but when he went abroad, he found his paradise again.
It was no coincidence that he met and rescued Qin Wangxuan, because after nightfall, he loved to hang out in those dark streets with high crime rates, releasing the beast called violence that was suppressed in his heart.
This wasn't the first time he'd been attacked unexpectedly, so when Old Yan's saber appeared in his hand, he instinctively dodged. Then, he launched a powerful kick, sending Old Yan reeling. Feeling a sting in his leg, he lowered his head and saw his trouser leg had been ripped.
"Someone come!" he roared.
Several security guards immediately rushed in, tackled Old Yan to the ground, and removed the knife from his hand. Qin Cangye ordered the security captain, "Get the restaurant's surveillance footage and send him, along with the knife, to the police!"
"Yes, young master!"
After the security guard escorted Old Yan away, Qin Weishu's face was already pale.
Su Yinuo hadn't noticed Qin Cangye's slashed trouser leg. Seeing that he looked normal, her tense heart relaxed. She hadn't expected Old Yan to actually use a knife, and she felt incredibly angry. She gritted her teeth and said to Qin Weishu, "Grandpa's lackey is truly loyal. He even dared to kill Grandpa's own grandson. I wonder if it was Grandpa's order?"
"I, I didn't!" Qin Weishu was obviously panicking.
"I also believe that Grandpa didn't do that," Su Yinuo said sarcastically, "Grandpa should give up the throne. Otherwise, if all the relatives see you, they will think that Grandpa instigated his men to kill his relatives just to occupy the main position!"
"You..." Qin Weishu stared at Su Yinuo, his hands on the table trembling.
At this moment, a cousin sitting across from Qin Weishu immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Qin, please sit here!" His forehead was covered in sweat. He immediately left the table and walked to another table. He whispered to his daughter-in-law, "Give Tuantuan a hug and make room for me."
Everyone present knew that the man who stood up and offered his seat was afraid that things would get out of control, and if that happened, no one present would be able to escape unscathed.
"Hey, you sit here, sit here, come on, everyone move over, it's New Year, let's be friendly," an uncle also stood up and arranged for everyone to rearrange their seats, giving his seat on the right side of the main seat to Qin Weishu.
Qin Weishu took a deep breath, stood up, and moved to the side, holding onto the table. His current concession was only a temporary solution. He couldn't bear the pain of this, and was still planning how to use his connections to get Old Yan out, how to get Old Yan to bring back his former subordinates, or simply hire a few thugs on the black market. He didn't want a great-grandson anymore; he just wanted Su Yinuo to live a life worse than death!
Qin Cangye sat down. He was a little unhappy about not being able to sit next to Su Yinuo, so he rested his chin on his hand and looked at Su Yinuo, who was standing between them. He didn't think the wound on his leg was very deep, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Uncle Li, serve the food. Also," Su Yinuo looked at the woman holding the child and ordered, "Add a child seat next to my sister-in-law."
"Yes, Miss Su," Li Guogang replied respectfully.
After the dishes were served, everyone's relaxed mood returned to a state of excitement. Everyone present knew that Qin Weishu had a picky palate and disliked sour or spicy food. Yet, aside from the children's meals on specially designed cartoon plates in front of the two little kids, every dish on the two tables was either sour or spicy.
At this point, everyone realized that today's New Year's Eve dinner was a Hongmen Banquet targeting Qin Weishu.
Qin Weishu's face turned pale, then blue, and then blue, then pale.
Su Yinuo ignored him and shook the drink cup in her hand towards Qin Cangye who was staring at her.
Qin Cangye then raised the red wine glass in his hand and coldly began his opening remarks: "Thank you all for coming to my Qin family's annual banquet. This glass is in honor of you all. I wish you all a happy new year. Everyone must eat and drink well today, because this is probably the last New Year's Eve dinner you will have at my Qin family."
Everyone was startled by these words, unsure how to react. An elder smiled first, raising his glass to ease the awkwardness. "We are all deeply grateful for Mr. Qin's care and guidance over the years, but now the world is dominated by the young, and it's time for us veterans to step back. The Qin family members are all outstanding individuals, and Mr. Qin is young, promising, and extraordinary. Ronghua Capital is a giant ship that relies on Mr. Qin to steer and navigate. Come, let us raise our glasses together and wish Mr. Qin a happy new year, great success, and continued success!"
Everyone raised their glasses and celebrated. No one paid any attention to the embarrassed Qin Weishu anymore; everyone just wanted to finish their meal and leave. The shrewd and calculating people naturally knew that the Qin family had now fallen completely into the hands of Qin Cangye, the evil god. They dared not curry favor with this evil god casually, otherwise they would not only gain no benefits, but would also likely bring disaster upon themselves. As for the benefits Qin Weishu had given them, the fact that Qin Cangye had not said he would take them back was already the best outcome.
"Grandpa, why aren't you eating?" Only Su Yinuo kept staring at Qin Weishu. She hadn't called these elders here today just for a hypocritical reunion dinner. She wanted these sycophants to witness Qin Weishu's miserable fall from the pinnacle of power, to witness his disgraceful end, his reputation shattered and his dignity utterly lost, to completely strip him of any remaining dignity in front of his former followers.
Su Yinuo stood up, poured a bowl of sour fish soup and handed it to Qin Weishu personally, saying, "This fish has no bones and the meat is very fresh. Grandpa, please eat it all."
"You..." Qin Weishu glared at Su Yinuo.
"What's wrong with me? I'm just being nice to Grandpa," Su Yinuo smiled. "Back then, Grandpa treated Grandma and Aunt Ruyin the same way."
She looked at everyone, stopped laughing, and asked sternly, "You've all seen the video online, right? How Grandpa personally poured boiling hot fish soup with fish bones in it into Grandma and Aunt Ruyin's mouths!"
Qin Weishu was breathing heavily, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Su Yinuo stared at him for a while and said, "Grandpa, if you don't want to drink, just apologize to Grandma and Aunt Ruyin."
Qin Weishu glared at Su Yinuo, picked up the bowl with trembling hands, ate it in a very embarrassed manner, and then gulped down a few gulps of tea.
Su Yinuo didn't leave. She raised her hand and picked up a few red chili peppers and put them into Qin Weishu's bowl. She said, "The Qin family once had a maid named Alai. Grandpa used a whip dipped in chili powder to whip her unconscious. Shouldn't Grandpa apologize to Alai?"
Qin Weishu was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly picked up the chili pepper and stuffed it into his mouth, shouting hoarsely to the servant beside him: "Pour water!"
Su Yinuo picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of the spicy red soup, and poured it into Qin Weishu's bowl. The soup splashed, and the red oil stains were scattered on Qin Weishu's white shirt.
"There was also a maid named Qiuyue, who was already over 50 years old at the time. Grandpa kicked her into the pond in the back garden. Mrs. Qiu looked much more miserable than Grandpa did. Grandpa, either apologize or drink!"
"Su Yinuo, don't go too far!" Qin Weishu yelled, picked up the bowl and poured it towards Su Yinuo. Qin Cangye, who was standing by, reacted in time, put his arms around Su Yinuo's waist and held her in his arms, avoiding the red soup splashed by Qin Weishu.
Su Yinuo stood up and placed the large bowl of boiled pork slices in front of Qin Weishu, saying angrily, "Bai Rou, Alai, Qiuyue, Yue Yanru, Wang Guifang, Zhang Hongmei, Zhang Xia, Li Qingqing, Wang Aihua, Li Ruyin, Guan Yuyan! Grandpa, you can't have forgotten all these names, right? Either apologize or drink this whole bowl and make amends to their souls!!"
She raised her crimson eyes to look at the stunned crowd in the restaurant and said, "The confession of a sinner also requires witnesses. You all turned a blind eye to Qin Weishu's atrocities before, and I believe you were forced to do so. Now that no one is forcing you, please open your eyes and see what it means to get what you deserve!"
"Su Yinuo...you, you, you, I will not let you go..." Qin Weishu stood up trembling and roared incoherently, "I am not penniless now. This house is mine, mine! I may not be the head of the Qin family, and I may not want Ronghua Capital, but with the remaining family fortune, I can drag you into the grave!! Get out, all of you get out!" He wanted to overturn the table, but when he lifted the edge of the table, he found that he could not do it at all.
"Family assets?" Su Yinuo sneered, "Isn't it just those collections? You said before that I coveted your collections, but I went in to take a look a few days ago and found that they were nothing special."
"How, how is this possible, you can't get in..." Qin Weishu was shocked.
Su Yinuo raised her hand and said to Li Guogang, "Uncle Li, bring me the porcelain vase that I dislike the most. Oh, the one that's exactly the same as the one in the living room."
A few minutes later, Li Guogang brought the Qianlong famille rose hollow revolving vase, valued at 200 million yuan, and handed it to Su Yinuo. It was, of course, a replica Qin Cangye had bought. But Qin Weishu was no longer interested in distinguishing the real from the fake. He glanced at the vase in Su Yinuo's hand, then at the one displayed in the living room next door, his lips trembling. "No, no, no way... Those things are mine. They're mine. You're stealing them. You're illegally occupying them!"
"Haha, then call the police!" Su Yinuo laughed loudly while holding the porcelain bottle, and then, in front of everyone's shocked gazes, he loosened his grip and dropped the bottle on the ground.
The crisp sound of porcelain breaking was like a blunt knife, stabbing into Qin Weishu's body. His whole body froze, his throat rolled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Two hundred million is gone," Su Yinuo clapped his hands and said coldly, "Apologize! Otherwise, I will slowly smash everything in the basement!"
Under the repeated blows, Qin Weishu finally gave up and fell to his knees. He knew calling the police was useless; no one present would speak up for him. Even if the police did come, Qin Cangye would use his connections to dismiss them as a family dispute. His only option now was to admit defeat and leave. He would then send a lawyer to drive Qin Cangye, Qin Wangxuan, and that vicious woman away! He wanted to protect his house and his collection until the end of his life!
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Tears flowed from his old eyes, but they were not regrets, but resentment for everything he had suffered.
"That's not enough!" Su Yinuo shouted, "Call their names, beg for their forgiveness, and confess your sins to their families!!"
"I'm sorry, Bai Rou," he wailed and kowtowed to Qin Cangye.
"I'm sorry, Alai..." He kowtowed every time he shouted.
"I'm sorry, Li Ruyin," he turned to Qin Cangye again.
Qin Cangye's eyes were red as he stared at Qin Weishu's emaciated body as he fell to the ground. He didn't feel the joy of revenge, because it was all too late. No matter how many times the man in front of him died, it would not be enough to atone for the mistakes he made in the past. What would a mere kowtow mean?
"I'm sorry, Guan Yuyan," Qin Weishu slowly moved his knees, faced Li Guogang, and kowtowed.
Li Guogang's calm face was already covered with traces of tears.
After bowing his head for the last time, Qin Weishu collapsed to the ground. Qin Cangye immediately arranged for him to be taken to the hospital. This evening's drama had come to an end.
The guests were still in shock. After taking a few bites of food, they hurriedly left the table, not even daring to accept the gifts prepared by Su Yinuo.
Soon, only Su Yinuo, Qin Cangye and Qin Wangxuan were left in the restaurant.
After a moment of silence, Su Yinuo suddenly laughed bitterly, then stood up and walked in front of Qin Cangye. With tears in her eyes, she asked sadly, "Why do you feel unhappy at all?"
Qin Cangye raised his hands and hugged her, resting his head on her chest, and said, "Because it's too easy for him. Just asking him to kowtow a few times is really too easy for him."
Su Yinuo hugged him back, stroked the back of his head, lowered her head, rubbed his head and asked: "Do you feel a little better?"
Qin Cangye's eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head and stared at Su Yinuo with a burning gaze. His voice trembled with disbelief: "You did all this... for me?"
