Chapter 262: Using the Calculator
Hongtai: "Just go ahead and don't be afraid of getting slapped in the face."
They drove to Duanmu Rong's villa, but found that there was no one inside.
Hongtai grabbed Duanmu Lin by the collar and shouted, "Duanmu Lin, if anything happens to my daughter, I will definitely hold you responsible."
Duanmu Lin pushed Hongtai to the ground with a palm: "Her name is Duanmu Rong, she has the same surname as me, and she is my daughter. If she were to stand before you and me right now, do you think she would recognize you or me as her father?"
Hongtai was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Duanmu Lin and said, "You, you, you..." but he couldn't say a word.
Duanmu Lin: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. I just got back home and there are a lot of business issues waiting for me to deal with. How can I have the time to rack my brains to deal with a little girl? If you use your brain, you will know that this must be instigated by someone with ulterior motives!"
Hongtai: "I don't care. Rongrong disappeared in your hands. If you want to continue to stay here, I give you three days to find Rongrong, otherwise you will die together with her!" He stood up and stared at Duanmu Lin fiercely. The wisdom and heroic spirit in his eyes were no longer there. What was left was only a father's worry and rage for his daughter.
Duanmu Lin: "You really miss your daughter like crazy. If you continue like this, we will just wait to collect Rongrong's body."
Hongtai punched Duanmu Lin in the face.
"I won't let you curse her like that. If you don't come to me, you'd better not let me know that you have anything to do with this matter, otherwise this matter will definitely never end."
He made a phone call and then went outside.
Duanmu Lin checked Duanmu Rong's villa alone. He thought for a long time and also called Duanmu Jin.
After the call was connected, before Duanmu Jin could say anything, Duanmu Lin started cursing.
"Duanmu Jin, you've grown cocky now, haven't you? Don't you want to discuss anything you do with me now? You know exactly what you did. I give you half an hour to go to Ji Jihua's villa with Qiu Shanhe to explain everything to you. Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my son."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Duanmu Jin felt very strange after listening to the phone call. He didn't know what his father was going crazy about.
Qiu Shanhe, who was standing nearby, recognized Duanmu Lin's scolding voice on the other end of the line. He smiled and said, "Is your father angry with you again?"
Duanmu Jin sighed: "This time he is not just angry. I don't know what's wrong with him. He asked us to go to Ji Jihua's villa to meet him."
Qiu Shanhe: "I have something to tell you."
Duanmu Jin looked at Qiu Shanhe: "Brother, please don't scare me. What on earth did you do?"
Qiu Shanhe: "I just kidnapped your sister."
Duanmu Jin was stunned after hearing this and couldn't utter a word.
Qiu Shanhe: "I'm doing this entirely to help you!"
Duanmu Jin: "Help your sister, you are trying to kill me now, where is my sister now?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Your sister is fine now. I hid her in the Snow White Manor. She had so much fun there that she didn't want to come back."
Duanmu Jin: "Why did you hide her? Let her out right away!"
Qiu Shanhe: "Not yet. We can only let her come back after we bring Hongtai down. For now, let her stay in Baixue Manor for a few more days!"
Duanmu Jin: "What on earth are you thinking about?"
Qiu Shanhe looked at him and smiled, "I'm going to help you get Hongtai out of office. I've already confirmed that Rongrong is not your sister at all. Her biological father is actually Hongtai. I'm going to threaten him with Rongrong's life to see if he's willing to step down."
Duanmu Jin: "I think you are crazy. You must be crazy. Would a cold-blooded person like Hongtai give up his power for a child who doesn't even know he exists?"
Qiu Shanhe: "We can only gamble."
Duanmu Jin: "Do you know that doing this is equivalent to declaring an all-out war on him? Now we have no room for maneuver."
Qiu Shanhe: "When you went to the Tianlan Casino to look for him, he had already made a feud with us. Now it's either he or we die. We can only put our chips on Rongrong."
Duanmu Jin: "How could you use Rongrong? What would she think if she knew we were doing this?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Your family is almost gone, how can you care so much? If she knew Hongtai was her biological father, which side would she choose? Can you afford to gamble on that?"
Duanmu Jin: "Then how do you explain it to your father now?"
Qiu Shanhe: "You're just now feeling scared? Back when you weren't about to provoke Hongtai, I advised you to think twice before you acted. Now that you've reached this point, you're trying to back off? It's too late."
Duanmu Jin couldn't think of any words to refute and could only stare into his eyes.
Qiu Shanhe: "Stop glaring at me. I won't get pregnant no matter how hard you glare at me."
Duanmu Jin: "Anyway, it's you who caused this trouble for my sister, and it's you who offended Hongtai so much. My dad wants to see us now, so when he wants his daughter back, you can go and explain to him!"
Qiu Shanhe: "Go ahead, you're all afraid of him, but I am. Do you think he really cares about Rongrong? He's just afraid of getting the news out and embarrassing himself. You and your family are all hypocrites, so obsessed with face that you're afraid of offending others."
Duanmu Jin: "Weren't you all like this before?"
Qiu Shanhe: "I'm telling you right now, it wasn't like that before, and it's definitely not like that now. Let's go now. I'm going to tell your dad about this. I don't believe he can do anything to me."
They both got into the car angrily, and in the car they both turned their heads away and ignored each other out of spite.
At this moment, this road made Duanmu Jin feel like he was on a road of no return.
After much difficulty, they drove the car to Ji Jihua's villa. Duanmu Jin and Qiu Shanhe, one nervous and the other calm, walked into the villa gate one after another.
Duanmu Lin was already sitting on the armchair waiting for them.
Qiu Shanhe sat down on the sofa next to him, and was pulled up by Duanmu Jin as soon as he sat down.
Duanmu Lin looked at Qiu Shanhe fiercely: "This was your idea, right? Where did you take Rongrong? And what exactly do you want?"
Qiu Shanhe: "As the military strategists say, a long period of unity will inevitably lead to division. I also say that there can't be two tigers on one mountain. It's only a matter of time before you and Hongtai end up fighting. Isn't what Ji Jihua did just the right opportunity for you to challenge him?"
Duanmu Lin: "Do you think you're so smart that you can guess what I'm thinking? And then you acted like that on your own initiative?"
He got so angry that he punched Qiu Shanhe in the face.
"How foolish! Now is not the time to attack Hongtai. If you do this, both sides will suffer."
Qiu Shanhe touched the corner of his mouth and found blood. He licked it with his tongue and said, "Blood is really sweet. Do you want to taste it too?"
Duanmu Jin: "I asked him to do this. If you want to vent your anger, come to me and don't make things difficult for him."
