Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist’s Mother to Have Children

Chapter 132

Upon learning that Chu Xiaotian had intentions to reconcile, Lin Chuqing decided to attend the meeting. She now had Xu Hao’s financial support, allowing her to focus on her research without worry. Once her company’s new battery technology was developed, she would no longer be constrained by the Chu family. At that point, they would no longer be able to control her, and her company would soar to new heights.

However, the technology had not yet been completed. The constant targeting by the Chu family had prevented her from delivering the goods to Xu Hao, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed. After the reconciliation, she would be able to openly deliver the goods, ensuring she did not betray Xu Hao’s trust in her.

Moreover, the feud between them had been somewhat absurd from the start. Lin Chuqing had never intended to make enemies with anyone. It had all started because of a minor incident involving a security guard under her command, which had escalated into an unnecessary conflict. She genuinely wanted to reconcile, which is why she agreed to the meeting.

The meeting was scheduled for 6 PM at a teahouse, a location chosen by Li Xiao. The timing, just before dusk, was intended to lower Lin Chuqing’s guard, and the teahouse setting made it less likely to arouse suspicion.

Chu Xiaotian had initially wanted to meet later, preferably at a hotel, where the cover of night would make it easier to carry out his plans. However, after hearing Li Xiao’s analysis, he nodded in agreement, his admiration for his subordinate growing even more. Li Xiao, however, was unimpressed. “What are you so happy about? You’re just a bystander in all this,” he thought.

Chu Xiaotian, unaware of his idol’s thoughts, was lost in the excitement of finally winning over the beauty.

Meanwhile, Xu Hao received a message from Li Xiao with the time and location of the meeting. To ensure he could intercept the ice queen without any mishaps, he made some preparations. His biggest move was to keep the protagonist, Zheng Feifan, occupied. He didn’t want to end up like the antagonists in the story, where the hero would suddenly appear and ruin everything at the last moment.

Time flew by, and soon it was past 5 PM. Employees of Qingtian Company were leaving work one after another. Coincidentally, it was Zheng Feifan’s turn to be on duty.

Qingtian Company was located in the city center, where the streets were always bustling with people. Many vendors set up stalls in the area, and some even tried to set up right in front of the Xu Corporation’s entrance. After being repeatedly chased away by security guards, the vendors had learned their lesson and no longer dared to set up shop there.

But today was different. An elderly couple in their sixties or seventies pushed a fruit cart right up to the entrance and began setting up their stall, complete with a loudspeaker blaring, “Fresh apples, bananas, oranges…”

A security guard noticed them and approached with a baton, saying, “Uncle, auntie, you can’t set up here. Please move somewhere else.”

The elderly woman, in her sixties, shot him a disdainful look. “I’ll set up wherever I want. It’s none of your business,” she retorted, continuing to attract customers as if the guard’s words meant nothing.

The guard’s mouth twitched. “Hey… you’re setting up illegally, and you still have the nerve to act like this? Do you want me to call the city management?”

In the past, threatening to call the city management had always worked. The vendors would usually scatter at the mere mention of it. The guards had a good relationship with the city management, and even the most stubborn vendors would comply once the authorities arrived.

But today, the tactic backfired.

The white-haired old man, hearing the threat, stormed over and pointed at the guard’s nose, shouting, “We’re doing legitimate business here. It doesn’t matter if you call the city management or even the gods themselves. We’re not moving!”

“Fine, fine, fine,” the guard said, repeating the word three times. He pulled out his phone, ready to make the call.

The elderly woman suddenly began to cry, playing the victim. “You’re bullying us! We’re in our sixties, and our children have abandoned us. We have no one to rely on, so we have to sell fruit to make a living. And now you won’t even let us do that? I might as well die…”

The guard couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. He tried to reason with them, “It’s not that we won’t let you sell, but you can’t set up here in front of the company. It’s not appropriate.”

“Not appropriate? What’s not appropriate about it?” the old man snapped, his temper flaring. He pointed at the guard and began to berate him. “Your company is empty anyway. Why can’t we set up here? Are you taking advantage of us because we have no one to stand up for us? You heartless bastard!”

The guard clenched his fists, his face darkening. He realized that these two elderly people were simply being unreasonable. There was a reason their children had abandoned them. He decided not to waste any more words and was about to call the city management when suddenly, a hand reached out and slapped his phone to the ground, shattering it.

The guard was stunned. His brand-new phone, which he had just bought, was now in pieces. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and turned to the old man. “5,000 yuan. Pay up.”

The old man exploded. “5,000 yuan? For a piece of junk like that? You might as well rob a bank! You little brat, you’re just trying to scam us. Get out of here and stop bothering us!”

The guard exhaled heavily, barely managing to hold back the urge to hit the old man. He couldn’t help but think of the popular online debate: Are bad people growing old, or are old people becoming bad? These two were truly asking for a beating.

Seeing the guard’s anger, the old man glared at him and suddenly smacked him on the head. “What? You think you can scam me and then hit me? Go ahead, you little bastard, hit me if you dare!”

The old man leaned forward, pointing at his head, daring the guard to strike. The guard’s temples throbbed, and he gritted his teeth, trying to keep his composure. He knew that if he hit the old man, he would feel better in the moment, but he would lose his job.

Just then, other security guards arrived, having noticed the commotion. After hearing what had happened, they began to scold the elderly couple.

“Xiao Liu is right. You can’t set up here. Take your things and leave,” one of them said.

“And the phone you broke is worth 5,000 yuan. You need to pay for it,” another added.

The guards surrounded the old man, criticizing him. The elderly woman, seeing this, grabbed a stick and charged at them. “What are you doing? Bullying us because there are more of you? Do you want to fight? I’ll beat you all to death!”

If the old man’s temper was bad, the elderly woman’s was even worse. At the slightest provocation, she was ready to fight.

“Hey, auntie, we need to be reasonable here,” one of the guards said. “It’s clearly stated that you can’t set up here, and you broke someone’s phone…”

“Don’t bother explaining to them. They’re just a couple of unreasonable old people. Let’s call the city management and let them handle it,” another guard suggested.

Hearing the mention of the city management, the elderly woman’s expression changed. She threw down her stick and began to roll on the ground, wailing. “Help! They’re bullying us! These heartless people won’t let us live! I might as well die here!”

The guards were shocked. “What the hell? Did she just switch moods that fast?”

They nervously watched the elderly woman, afraid that she might actually follow through on her threat to kill herself at the company entrance. If that happened, they would all be in deep trouble.

The guards exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of what to do. They could handle stubborn people by calling the city management, but they had no idea how to deal with an elderly woman who was throwing a tantrum and threatening to die.

The commotion had already attracted a crowd of onlookers, who began to point and comment.

“These security guards are so heartless! How can they bully an elderly couple in their sixties and seventies? Have they no conscience?”

“Exactly! The world is going to hell. People have no morals anymore.”

“If the company doesn’t allow stalls at the entrance, they should just explain it properly. Look how scared the old lady is… It’s so sad.”

“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know the whole story. I think these two old people are just causing trouble and trying to scam them.”

Most of the crowd sided with the elderly couple, criticizing the guards. These were ordinary working-class people who naturally sympathized with the underdog and had a deep-seated resentment toward authority figures.

Of course, there were a few who defended the guards and criticized the elderly couple, but they were quickly drowned out by the majority.

As the situation escalated, the guards began to panic.

“What’s going on over there?” Zheng Feifan, who had just finished patrolling the company building, asked as he returned to the security room and noticed the crowd gathered at the entrance.

A guard quickly explained the situation to him. Hearing that it was an elderly couple causing trouble, Zheng Feifan’s face darkened, and he walked over to investigate.

The security guards, who were being criticized by the crowd, felt a sense of relief when they saw their boss, the head of security—Zheng Feifan—arrive. They quickly made way for him. The elderly couple seemed like seasoned troublemakers. When outnumbered, they acted aggressively, but when more people gathered, they played the victim, twisting the truth.

The elderly woman was rolling on the ground, throwing a tantrum, while the old man sat silently, not saying a word.

“Enough! This is a public place. If you want to cause a scene, go home,” Zheng Feifan said sternly.

The couple turned their heads angrily toward the source of the voice. When they saw Zheng Feifan, their eyes flickered for a moment, and then they started causing an even bigger scene.

“What do you mean? Are you saying we’re the ones causing trouble? It’s clearly you guys ganging up on us!” the elderly woman shouted.

Zheng Feifan frowned. His sharp senses caught the fleeting glint in the couple’s eyes. What were these two up to? Just as he was pondering this, the elderly woman rolled over to him and tightly grabbed his leg.

“You’re their boss, right? Your people are bullying us old folks. You have to give us an explanation, or I won’t let go!” she cried.

Zheng Feifan’s frown deepened. He gently shook the leg she was holding. Honestly, he only meant to shake her grip loose, using a subtle technique to free himself without harming her. But to his shock, the elderly woman seemed to react as if she had been struck. She was flung to the side and lay motionless on the ground.

Zheng Feifan was stunned. He replayed the moment in his mind. He had only used the slightest force to dislodge her grip—certainly not enough to hurt her. How could she have passed out?

The security guards behind him were equally dumbfounded. Their new boss was bold, even daring to “hit” an old lady.

“Ah!” A furious roar erupted from the old man. He glared at Zheng Feifan with rage, charged forward, and shouted, “You murderer! What did you do to my wife? How dare you hurt her? I’ll fight you!”

The old man lunged at Zheng Feifan, fists clenched, ready to avenge his wife.

“I didn’t hurt her, let alone kill her,” Zheng Feifan explained calmly.

But the old man was too enraged to listen. Zheng Feifan, growing impatient, reached out to stop the old man from lunging at him. He simply extended his hand to block the old man’s advance, careful not to use any force this time, fearing a repeat of what happened with the elderly woman.

However, the moment his hand made contact with the old man, the latter recoiled as if electrocuted and fell backward, landing sprawled on the ground. The old man stared blankly at the sky, looking dazed and disoriented.

Zheng Feifan looked at his hand in confusion. Had he accidentally used some hidden force? Impossible. After years of training in the underworld, he had precise control over his strength. He couldn’t have misjudged it. Something was wrong.

A thought flashed through his mind. Combined with the flicker in the couple’s eyes when they first saw him, he realized these two were up to something. One word came to mind: scam.

The onlookers erupted in chaos. They had clearly seen the security captain “attack” the elderly couple, leaving one unconscious and the other possibly brain-damaged.

“Someone call an ambulance!”

“Call the police! This is outrageous!”

“How can a big company like Qingtian have such thugs for security? Beating up old people in broad daylight—do they have no respect for the law?”

“This scum is a danger to society. He needs to be locked up!”

The security guards looked at Zheng Feifan with a mix of awe and pity. They knew the company’s CEO had already considered firing him. Now, with this incident, there was no way he could stay. Worse, his actions would tarnish the company’s reputation.

Just as the situation was spiraling out of control, a strikingly beautiful woman with a cold, elegant demeanor walked over. It was none other than Lin Chuqing, the CEO of Qingtian Company, often referred to as the “Ice Queen.” Her presence commanded respect, and she calmly took charge of the situation.

She arranged for the police to be called and for the elderly couple to be taken to the hospital, offering to cover their medical expenses. Her composed handling of the crisis earned her praise from the crowd.

Soon, an ambulance arrived and took the couple away. The police escorted Zheng Feifan to the police car. As he was being taken away, he saw Lin Chuqing driving off to her meeting at the teahouse.

At that moment, Zheng Feifan felt a pang of emptiness in his chest. For some reason, he felt as though something precious was slipping away from him…
