38: Then be careful in your next life.
The video intelligence data about my son on the tablet was purchased…
Qian Tingyi and Xu Lan, the husband and wife who keenly caught this message from Lan Zijun’s words, couldn’t help but exchange glances, their brows subtly furrowing into a knot.
Having fought and struggled in the business world for many years and being able to build such a large family business, it was natural that the couple had also used many unconventional methods.
They were not surprised by the practice of buying and selling intelligence.
The surprising point was, which private detective agency or security company could provide such complete intelligence?
Although their son, Qian Boda, was a scoundrel, he had been influenced by his parents' way of doing things since childhood and had learned a thing or two.
Premeditated murder, stealing Lans Group's business secrets.
Each one was a business that challenged national laws and could cost him his head at any time!
They didn't believe that Qian Boda would make so many mistakes and let someone investigate him thoroughly.
Moreover, the two security companies with whom their Qian family had long-term cooperation were by no means incompetent. How could the annual fees of up to tens of millions be a joke? But why could Lan Zijun still so easily obtain such crucial and dangerous intelligence in such a short period of time?
The more they thought about it, the more the couple couldn't help but shiver.
Could it be that there was a vast force in Luojing that they couldn't detect, possessing terrifying means far beyond conventional security companies?
Otherwise, how could it break through the blockade of two high-end security companies and allow Lan Zijun to obtain the incriminating evidence silently!
Furthermore, he had controlled their son with lightning speed.
Lan Zijun came prepared, and it might not be so easy to deal with her.
“Little Lan, if a child is not taught, the father is to blame. As a father, I didn’t expect this beast to do such a thing to you. I apologize to you on his behalf.”
“But I believe this was definitely not his intention. Xiaoda has been a good child since he was little. Perhaps he was misled by these foreign criminals!”
Thinking he had figured out the key points, Qian Tingyi quickly pulled his wife, Yulan, to their feet.
“Family shame should not be publicized. This matter is not good for either our Qian family or Lans Group. For the sake of our families having known each other for many years, how about we resolve this privately? There’s really no need to involve the Police Officer.”
While watching the changes in Lan Zijun’s expression, Qian Tingyi quickly reaffirmed his stance.
“Uncle and Auntie, as your elders, we sincerely apologize to you again. When that kid comes back, we will definitely teach him a good lesson!”
Even though they were extremely unwilling, feeling as disgusted as if they had swallowed a dead fly.
The couple forced smiles and bowed in apology to Lan Zijun, who was their junior.
Watching the two of them, who were completely different from before, their performance was perfect.
Lan Zijun couldn't help but curl her lips into a cold smile.
They seemed to be apologizing to her, but implicitly and explicitly, they were using the relationship between the two families to put pressure on her. At this point, they still dared to act like elders? You two don't deserve it!
“Since it’s an apology from the elders, how can I accept it?”
Lan Zijun smiled and shook her head.
Her attitude was firm.
She wouldn't accept it!
The couple wasn't feeling guilty or apologetic because Lan Zijun was hurt.
The two of them simply wanted to use both soft and hard tactics to make Lan Zijun let go of Qian Boda.
Seeing through their essence, Lan Zijun didn't want to bother with them at all. She pointed her finger at the documents on the table.
“No need to be long-winded.”
“Sign the documents, and I will consider withdrawing the charges against Qian Boda.”
Hearing this, Qian Tingyi and his wife didn't seem angry at all, still maintaining their fake smiles.
“Oh dear, Little Lan, why are you so stubborn at such a young age?”
“You and Xiaoda will be family sooner or later. There’s no such thing as overnight grudges between husband and wife. We guarantee you that he will never be instigated by others to do such a thing to you again. Please forgive him.”
Forgive him?
Lan Zijun sneered in her heart.
That scoundrel even hired someone to kill her and seize the Lan family's assets. This was a matter of life and death, yet he still wanted to settle it overnight?
Once these two old foxes' own son was involved, their intelligence seemed to drop to the ground and be rubbed into dust!
Lan Zijun chuckled, “Alright, I forgive him. Just tell him to be careful in his next life.”
“That’s right! We are all one family, how can we speak as two…”
As soon as Qian Tingyi heard Lan Zijun say she would forgive his son, his old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum. However, just as he was about to say something polite, he suddenly froze.
Wait! Be careful in his next life?
Qian Tingyi, who had reacted, immediately sounded displeased: “What do you mean by that? Are you joking with us?”
“Weren’t you the ones who joked with me first?” Lan Zijun retorted.
Qian Tingyi’s face immediately darkened, and Xu Lan also looked unfriendly.
If they wanted to sign the documents, would the couple still apologize?
Having been Bosses and used to ordering others around.
The couple felt that their act of bowing and apologizing was a huge concession!
Lan Zijun is really ungrateful!
However, the initiative was not in their hands at the moment, so they couldn't completely tear off the masks.
Suppressing their anger, Qian Tingyi managed to give Lan Zijun a forced smile.
“We are family, we can discuss things. Don’t be so absolute, okay?”
The response to Qian Tingyi was still silence. Lan Zijun was too lazy to even lift her eyelids.
“Then how about this, you amend the terms, remove a few important charges, and I’ll sign.”
Qian Tingyi made a concession, feeling he had sacrificed a lot, expecting Lan Zijun to reciprocate and also make a concession.
“No terms can be changed.”
Lan Zijun was unyielding, not giving an inch.
Qian Tingyi and Xu’s faces were flushed red, desperately suppressing the anger that was on the verge of exploding, and continued to smile, asking Lan Zijun to make a concession.
But.
No.
There was no room for negotiation.
Lan Zijun showed no sign of backing down.
There are only two paths before you.
Sign, and reduce the charges against Qian Boda.
Don’t sign, the charges will not be reduced, and Qian Boda will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Qian Tingyi and his wife were dry-mouthed, and white foam appeared at the corners of their mouths.
It was useless.
Lan Zijun still maintained a leisurely look of “I’ll just quietly watch your performance”.
Just looking at the couple’s disgusting faces, Lan Zijun couldn’t help but feel a wave of nausea.
If she hadn't bought this information from the Abyss, and had joined this family while being kept in the dark, even if she was lucky enough not to die, she would have suffered for the rest of her life!
Thinking of the mysterious person standing in the dark Abyss, yet constantly watching her, a strange light appeared in Lan Zijun’s eyes.
A brief silence fell in the living room.
Things had come to this point, and everything had been said.
Qian Tingyi and Xu Lan exchanged glances, and sudden murderous intent surged in their eyes.
If the soft approach doesn’t work, then let’s go with the hard approach!
Clap, clap, clap—!
Qian Tingyi clapped his hands three times, sat down with Xu Lan, and resumed his previous crossed-leg posture.
“Everyone, come in!”
