Chapter 47 - 47 47 These Father and Son Are Inhuman

47: Chapter 47 “These Father and Son Are Inhuman 47: Chapter 47 “These Father and Son Are Inhuman Qin Heng, notorious in Capital City for his inhumanity, is tolerated only because the Qin family holds significant influence—few dare to criticize them. Unlike the Ye family, which has fallen from grace, with even leaders of the underworld daring to bully them, Ye Tianchen became known in Capital City as a notorious prodigal son and good-for-nothing. “So that’s how it is, well, it’s fine anyway. I’ve never met that Qi Ruxue, just heard she’s pretty. It’s just a game, once it’s over, we’ll use the Qi family’s connections to gain the most from this generational change. Let me know when it’s time, Dad, so I can set my sights on a new target!” Qin Heng said shamelessly. Qin Taoyuan glanced at his disappointing son, wishing he could slap him to death, but he only had this one son. As a major family, the opportunity to lead the Qin family, graciously granted by Mr. Qin, was not easily come by. Naturally, Qin Taoyuan wanted to hold on to it, not allowing his brothers or sisters a chance, and even more so to pass it on to his son, Qin Heng. But Qin Heng’s stupidity and uselessness nearly drove Qin Taoyuan to spit blood. “Anyway, don’t cause any trouble outside during this period. If an incident occurs and the Qi family finds out, it would be bad. Also, have someone investigate the death of Li Tie; I always feel there’s more to it!” Qin Taoyuan said, frowning. “Got it, so where did that slut Xiao Qing go?” Qin Heng suddenly remembered Xiao Qing and asked. Seeing his son Qin Heng finally behaving somewhat normally, Qin Taoyuan sighed and sat down, “I’ve already sent someone to roughly investigate. Li Tie and his two trusted lieutenants, Shan Ji and Shan Xiong, along with over thirty armed elite bodyguards, all died in the villa. And that bitch Xiao Qing has disappeared without a trace…” “This… Dad, Li Tie had recordings of our calls in his possession. If someone else gets a hold of them, the consequences would be unimaginable…” Qin Heng finally knew fear. During this period, he was the main contact with Li Tie on behalf of the Qin family. If anything happened, he’d be the first unable to escape. Although his five years of imprisonment hadn’t caused him much suffering, he was afraid of those days spent caged. For someone who craved drugs and women like him, it was a fate worse than death. “This bitch has run off somewhere, and I suspect she’s connected to the deaths of Li Tie and his men. Those tapes are very likely in her hands. If she hasn’t reported back to the Qin family, it means she plans to use them to threaten us!” Qin Taoyuan speculated. “Damn her, if I catch that whore, I’ll make sure she dies a painful death. I’ll have a hundred men screw her to death, how dare she betray the Qin family, she must die!” Qin Heng said with a vicious smile on his lips. As Ye Tianchen anticipated, if Xiao Qing dared to return to the Qin family, even if she hadn’t done anything, even if she argued till she was blue in the face, the ruthless father and son, Qin Taoyuan and Qin Heng, would surely not spare her. If she dared come back to the Qin family, her fate would only be death. Mainly because father and son Qin Taoyuan had a principle of ruthlessness—to rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go free! “Don’t act rashly. Xiao Qing is a Superpower User; dealing with her won’t be so easy. Let’s find her first!” Qin Taoyuan pondered and advised. “Hmph, a Superpower User? Her little coquettish tricks aren’t even worth considering. Given the Qin family’s influence, it wouldn’t be a problem to employ a high-level expert from an Ancient Martial Sect or a powerful Superpower User. We can definitely kill that woman!” Qin Heng snorted arrogantly. For a major family like the Qin family, the existence of powerful Superpower Users and Ancient Martial Sect experts—something many ordinary people have forgotten or never even knew—is a certain fact. When necessary, for special tasks, it’s essential to employ these people, and Xiao Qing was one of them. A year ago, Qin Taoyuan sensed that Li Tie was becoming increasingly uncontrollable and that Li Tie also wanted to rid himself of the Qin family’s grip, aspiring to become the true underworld leader of Capital City. No one wants to be a puppet, being led by the nose all the time—it’s a life lacking self-respect and dignity, a life no one would choose. More than once, Qin Taoyuan and his son sent experts to tail Li Tie, infiltrate his residence, and more, all to find the concealed tapes. As long as they found those tapes, they could kill the unruly Li Tie. However, Li Tie wasn’t easy prey; he was exceedingly cautious and had hidden the tapes well. The experts sent previously found nothing, and Qin Taoyuan and his son didn’t dare to kill Li Tie rashly. If Li Tie had taken precautions and the tapes fell into the hands of the national authorities, it could spell disaster for the Qin family. Therefore, Xiao Qing was brought in a year ago to become Li Tie’s mistress, using all her wiles to infiltrate his ranks. Yet, she still hadn’t accessed the tapes. Had it not been for Ye Tianchen’s decisive and ruthless intervention, perhaps no one would know where Li Tie had hidden the recordings. “There are powerful Superpower Users and Ancient Martial experts at home and abroad, but they are difficult to employ as there’s a price to pay. Furthermore, whether it was Xiao Qing’s doing still needs investigation. I suspect this matter might be related to Ye Tianchen, the prodigal son of the Ye family!” After all, experience does come with age. Although Qin Taoyuan had some suspicions that Xiao Qing had betrayed the Qin family, he knew that taking out Li Tie and over thirty armed elite assassins was probably not something Xiao Qing could do. What he knew was that since Ye Tianchen returned to Capital City, many issues and discussions revolved around him. It felt to everyone that the laughingstock of Capital City, the Ye family’s degenerate and good-for-nothing Ye Tianchen, had changed dramatically—transcending himself. Anyone who wanted to provoke him now really had to weigh their options carefully. “Hahahaha, Dad, are you scared out of your wits? Ye Tianchen? That loser? I could crush him with just a flick of my finger. How about I go find that waste now and stomp him to death?” Qin Heng burst into arrogant laughter upon hearing his father mention Ye Tianchen. If it had been before, that would indeed have been the case. The Ye family’s power was no match for the Qin family, and Qin Heng had more sway in Capital City than Ye Tianchen, who was merely the butt of jokes among the many great powers and families. No one took him seriously, and if Qin Heng really wanted to step on Ye Tianchen, it would have been a simple matter. But that was limited to the Ye Tianchen of the past. Today, if Qin Heng dared to try and step on him, Ye Tianchen would step on the entire Qin family instead. Ye Tianchen did not look for trouble, but he was absolutely not afraid of it either! “Don’t act rashly. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly and discreetly. Blowing it open would be very disadvantageous for the Qin family!” Qin Taoyuan cautioned Qin Heng. “Whatever, I’m going to sleep. There’s a great beauty from Hong Kong who came over tonight—she’s probably lying in bed waiting for me right now!” Qin Heng said shamelessly in front of his own father. Qin Taoyuan looked at Qin Heng, feeling powerless, waved his hand, and let Qin Heng leave. He sat alone on the couch, frowning in contemplation. Regardless, they couldn’t afford any mistakes during this period. Once the old man became a vice-national-level leader, they could greatly expand the Qin family’s influence, and all these issues would become trivial. Whether it was the bad deeds done by their own Qin family or the elimination of the Ye family, none of it would be a problem. After some thought, Qin Taoyuan dialed a number, and as the call connected, he immediately said, “Let Ye Hong be the City’s Party Secretary for H City. I won’t contest it.” After hanging up, although Qin Taoyuan was quite displeased, he had no other choice. Everything had to give way to the election. If the old man couldn’t become a vice-national-level leader, then even if he himself became the City’s Party Secretary for H City, it would be futile. This was the principle that without backers, it’s hard to be an official. “Ye Hong, just wait for me. I’ll settle both new and old accounts with you!” Qin Taoyuan spoke coldly and viciously. At this time, having finished their barbecue and beer, both Ye Tianchen and Hu Long had left the barbecue stall. As they departed, Ye Tianchen left Hu Long with a few words of wisdom. “Physical prowess is not everything—it can be trained. However, a king’s domineering presence is innate. If you lack this boldness, it’s tough to reach higher planes of existence.” Hu Long left, heading back to the countryside overnight to await orders from his big brother Ye Tianchen before returning to Capital City. Ye Tianchen, meanwhile, caught a taxi home. It was already past two in the morning when he got in, and his mother, sister, and Qi Ruxue had long since gone to bed. Ye Tianchen took a bath, drank a glass of water, and realized he was still a bit hungry. His appetite had always been big, even in the apocalypse, and a few skewers of barbecue and bottles of beer weren’t enough to satiate him. Thinking to look in the fridge, he opened it and saw that the big lobsters and abalones made by Qi Ruxue for dinner hadn’t been touched. He didn’t care; he took out the lobsters and abalones, poured a glass of juice, and indulged in the sumptuous seafood. By the time he finished, it was already three o’clock, and he returned to his room, fell asleep without practicing his superpowers. The next morning, Ye Tianchen was rudely awakened by several loud screeches. “Ye Tianchen, you big villain, you thief, get down here…” “Ye Tianchen, you’ve gone too far, stealing someone’s breakfast like that—have you no decency at all?” “Ye Tianchen, return my lobsters and abalones…” [PS: Monday is the charge up the ranks.
