131: Attending the school anniversary celebration
While Mo Xiangwen and Chen Zhibin were discussing their countermeasures, the Death Warriors sent by Qin Yang had already arrived in Shanghai, following Xiao Jiu's tracking.
Meanwhile, Qin Yang received a call from Zheng Yu.
"Little Qin? It's Zheng Yu."
"Hello, Sister Zheng. Is something the matter?"
"Little Qin, I'll be blunt. Have you offended someone lately? Today, a case was handed over to our court. The written documents accuse you of illegal acts like intentional injury and kidnapping.
But upon my inquiry, this case wasn't sent by the police. It came through an internal channel. So, I've temporarily withheld the case because it doesn't comply with regulations.
This is clearly someone trying to mess with you, Little Qin. If you're facing any difficulties, you can tell me. My family has some influence. I know it's thanks to your help that my old man is still alive today," Zheng Yu said concisely.
"Thanks, Sister Zheng. Sigh, I didn't expect the other side to move so quickly.
At this point, I won't hide it from you. This really is trouble caused by the god potion. You should be clear about the god potion's efficacy, Sister Zheng. Although it hasn't passed clinical trial reviews yet, it truly is something that can cure diseases and save lives.
Since you could find my pharmaceutical factory through certain channels back then, others naturally could too. I don't need to say much more. They're coming after me for nothing more than the profits of the god potion. A few days ago, foreign capital was withdrawn, and the team developing the god potion left Dongda. The next day, I received a threatening warning telling me to reveal the team's whereabouts. This was clearly aimed at harming the god potion team, so I didn't compromise and tell them.
Now, they've resorted to this frame-up, calling a horse a deer," Qin Yang replied with a fake sigh. He was telling seventy percent truth and thirty percent lies. He had a vague idea of Zheng Yu's background; if he could borrow some of her influence, it would naturally be for the best.
"Those pieces of garbage parasites!" Hearing Qin Yang's explanation, Zheng Yu naturally understood what was going on. Being from that circle herself, she was well-acquainted with such situations.
"Little Qin, it's fine. I'll take care of this. As long as you conduct your business in a law-abiding manner, I guarantee no one can touch you. This is truly going too far!" After replying, Zheng Yu hung up the phone while cursing.
Hearing Zheng Yu's words, Qin Yang revealed a smile. He had given the second batch of trial participants a chance precisely to befriend these people and expand his network. Look, it was coming in handy now.
Some might call Qin Yang a coward, having so many Death Warriors under his command yet fearing this and that. But the question was, did Qin Yang want to stay in the country? His lover, family, and friends were all here. Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to flee abroad? If he had to be a bit 'cowardly', so be it, as long as he achieved his goal.
After hanging up, Zheng Yu immediately contacted her grandfather, Old Master Zheng, who was one of the second batch of trial participants.
Zheng Yu recounted the trouble Qin Yang was facing to Old Master Zheng. Old Master Zheng was also furious. He had come through the war years and witnessed Dongda's entire journey from backwardness to prosperity. He had spent his whole life striving for Dongda's rise and was a truly respectable man.
Now, a great research achievement hadn't even hit the market yet, and it was already being targeted by a group of rats. Old Master Zheng was naturally very angry. After all, even setting everything else aside, he still needed this thing to save his own life.
"Xiao Yu, go find your eldest uncle. Tell him I said that no matter what, Little Qin is not to be harmed. As for those sneaky little brats, tell your eldest brother to have a word with those families and tell them to discipline their children properly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any face and dealing with them harshly!" Old Master Zheng replied.
"Okay, Grandfather," Zheng Yu replied after receiving Old Master Zheng's word.
Shanghai.
Mo and Chen, who were still at the club discussing how to deal with Qin Yang, simultaneously received calls from their families.
Nothing else was said on the phone; they were just told to hurry home. The two looked at each other, a bad feeling rising in their hearts. But they didn't dare refuse their families' orders and could only walk out of the club together.
Mo Xiangwen needed to return to Kyoto and had to go to the airport first. Chen Zhibin's home was in Shanghai. So, the two drove their sports cars, worth tens of millions, out of the club one after another.
But on the road they had to take, two fully loaded heavy trucks were already poised and ready. One was pretending to be broken down and parked by the roadside, while the other was waiting about a kilometer ahead.
With Xiao Jiu's assistance, no matter how much Mo and Chen racked their brains, they would never have guessed that a deadly threat was already so close to them.
Soon, Mo and Chen's sports cars passed the heavy truck that was pretending to be undergoing repairs. Having locked onto the targets, the rear heavy truck started up and quickly followed behind the two cars.
The heavy truck in front received a reminder from Xiao Jiu and started the vehicle accordingly, beginning to move forward slowly.
When the two sports cars appeared in the rearview mirror, the front heavy truck immediately blocked their path, forcing Mo and Chen to slow down. During this time, Mo Xiangwen kept honking his horn and hurling insults at the Death Warrior driving the front heavy truck.
At that moment, the rear heavy truck followed closely behind. As if unable to brake, the vehicle slammed into Mo and Chen's sports cars at high speed.
The two had no time to react. In an instant, their vision went black, and they went to meet King Yama.
Looking at the two luxury sports cars that had been crushed into iron pancakes, the Death Warrior from the rear truck calmly got out. He first checked if the targets were dead, and then the two Death Warriors quickly departed.
Peak Entertainment, CEO's office.
"Master, the Death Warriors have completed the mission. The targets have been eliminated, deceased in a car accident." Qin Yang, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly heard Xiao Jiu's report.
"Mm, I see. Tell those two brothers to hide well and have the other brothers in Shanghai take good care of them," Qin Yang replied with a smile on his face.
"Understood, Master."
The Chen family in Shanghai.
"What? Xiao Bin and that kid from the Mo family were in a car accident?!" The current head of the Chen family stood up in shock upon hearing the report.
"Yes, Master. Young Master Bin and Young Master Mo were hit by two heavy trucks on their way back. They're gone!" the subordinate replied.
After confirming the news, the head of the Chen family's vision went dark, and he nearly fainted. He slumped back into the sofa, trembling. Although Chen Zhibin was good-for-nothing, he was still his biological grandson. There were naturally feelings involved, and this sudden tragic news was unacceptable to him.
After a long while, the head of the Chen family finally asked, "Was it an accident? Has the driver been caught?"
"Master, the news just came in. The driver fled the scene. The police are still investigating, and it's hard to say for sure if it was an accident."
"Then check it for me! Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, the driver who caused this crash must be caught. They must be buried with Xiao Bin!!" the head of the Chen family said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Master."
At the same time, the Mo family in Kyoto also received the news. However, the Mo family wasn't as aggressive as the Chen family. The head of the Mo family spoke up, saying the matter should be handled according to the law—don't let a single bad person go, but don't wrong an innocent person either.
Soon, based on the origin of the two heavy trucks at the scene, the identities of the two Death Warriors who executed the mission were found. But after that, no matter how hard the police tried, they could no longer find any trace of the two Death Warriors.
They tried to trace the source, only to find that the two Death Warriors came from different corners of the country and were orphans. Their relatives only knew such a person existed but hadn't seen them for many years.
The investigating police were also baffled by this situation. With no clues at all, finding someone in a city of tens of millions like Shanghai was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, with Xiao Jiu's coordination, the Death Warriors were completely unafraid of any cameras. After several days of investigation, no clues were found.
This caused the case to stall. After all, if the people couldn't be found, a conviction was out of the question.
Upon hearing this news, both the Mo and Chen families fell silent. This car accident had happened far too strangely. By now, they weren't stupid; they knew this was a premeditated action. But as long as the drivers weren't caught, it was impossible to determine who the mastermind was. Although the Mo and Chen families were powerful, they also had many enemies. Furthermore, Mo Xiangwen and Chen Zhibin had done plenty of rotten things over the years; those who wanted them dead could fill a whole street... In H City, Qin Yang felt much more refreshed after the matter was settled. As for whether the Mo and Chen families could guess he did it, Qin Yang didn't care. On the surface, it had absolutely nothing to do with him. If they wanted to play dirty, then they could just hurt each other and see who couldn't hold out first.
But the expected retaliation didn't fall upon Qin Yang. The Mo and Chen families did take action, but they retaliated against their rival families instead. In their view, only families with such abundant resources in Dongda could carry out such a matter so seamlessly. As for Qin Yang, although he was among the suspects, because the Zheng family had spoken up and summoned Mo Xiangwen and Chen Zhibin home to settle the matter, Qin Yang had a backer and had no reason to act anymore. So, unexpectedly, Qin Yang's suspicion was cleared.
More importantly, in the eyes of the Mo and Chen families, Qin Yang simply couldn't have done it. After investigation, they knew that Qin Yang's industries and network were all in H City, but the incident happened in Shanghai. With Qin Yang's capabilities, he couldn't have covered this up so well.
Since the other side wasn't coming to find trouble with him, Qin Yang was more than happy. The culprits had been dealt with; any more trouble would just be asking for it. (Forget it, I won't write about such dangerous things anymore.)
...That night, after Qin Yang and Deng Yue finished their 'exercise', Deng Yue lay in Qin Yang's arms and said, "Hubby, what was the situation last time? There were so many people, it scared me to death. Luckily the workers were all there."
"Competitors. No industry is easy, especially engineering. The interests are too large, so some people want to play dirty. It's fine now, the matter has passed. No one will come looking for trouble with us again," Qin Yang explained.
"Oh." Seeing that Qin Yang didn't want to say more, Deng Yue chose not to ask further. As Qin Yang's girlfriend, Deng Yue wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very smart. After they got back together, too many changes had happened to Qin Yang. As someone sharing the same bed, how could she not notice anything? It was just that a smart woman knows what to ask and when to play dumb. Besides, for a woman, whether Qin Yang loved her was the most important thing; everything else didn't matter.
Then Deng Yue changed the subject. "Hubby, I ran into our college counselor, Teacher Wang, a while ago. We chatted a bit about my situation after graduation. But just yesterday, Teacher Wang called me and said the school is holding its 50th-anniversary celebration and wants to invite me to attend. Will you go with me?"
"School anniversary? Why would Teacher Wang invite you?" Qin Yang asked curiously.
"Hehe, it's because of our Panamera. You know what our school is like—just an ordinary second-tier university with very few outstanding alumni. But the school gave an order for the counselors to find ways to invite some successful graduates to bring some glory to the school. That day, I ran into Teacher Wang while driving, and we chatted for a bit. She naturally found out that I opened an advertising company.
I'm basically the best of a mediocre bunch. Teacher Wang really didn't know who else to look for, so she invited me," Deng Yue explained.
"Oho, you've even made it to being an outstanding alumna," Qin Yang teased upon hearing this.
"Oh, stop it. I'm just riding on your coattails. Just come with me. Back then, you were so obscure in school. Who would have thought that the one to soar after graduation would be you? In this life, I really admire my own vision," Deng Yue replied.
"Then let's go. Which day is it? We can go and relive our college life together," Qin Yang agreed.
"It's tomorrow." Hearing Qin Yang agree to go with her, Deng Yue excitedly kissed him several times.
Early the next morning, Deng Yue excitedly dragged Qin Yang out of bed.
To be invited as a representative of outstanding alumni, anyone would probably be in the same state as Deng Yue. This wasn't just an affirmation, but also a closure for one's youth.
After the two washed up and had breakfast, Deng Yue drove Qin Yang toward the school.
Qin Yang and Deng Yue attended H City Business School, which was located in the West City District University Town.
When they arrived at the school, it was nearly eight in the morning.
Deng Yue's Panamera was quite recognizable. From a distance, a middle-aged woman was standing at the school gate waving at the car.
This middle-aged woman was Wang Fengxia, Teacher Wang, who had been Qin Yang and Deng Yue's counselor in college.
Deng Yue drove the car up to Teacher Wang, pulled Qin Yang out, and said, "Teacher Wang, why did you come out yourself?"
"Haha, I was afraid you might take the wrong turn after being away for so long. This is Qin Yang next to you, right?" Teacher Wang laughed heartily.
"Teacher Wang, you still remember me," Qin Yang greeted with a smile.
"How could I not? When I was in charge of your class, you and Deng Yue were already dating. I didn't expect you to still be together now. That's wonderful!" Teacher Wang remarked with emotion.
