Chapter 138 I Changed My Mind
As Gong Daqian took his people from Huangyang County, in a village on the outskirts of the county, within a luxurious villa occupying an extensive area, a middle-aged man slightly furrowed his brows with a flash of anger crossing his face.
He had personally made a phone call, yet he hadn't expected Gong Daqian to still bring so many people with him. Was this a refusal to give him face?
Gong Daqian indeed seemed like a successful local tyrant in Xiangxi State, but that was just on the surface.
In Xiangxi State, the real underground emperor was the Mo Family.
The Mo Family's martial lineage had been passed down for over three hundred and seventy years, and since the foundation of the Martial Alliance, the Mo Family had become the true ruler of this area in Xiangxi State.
So, compared to the Mo Family, the Gong Family was not worth mentioning.
Although he felt uncomfortable, Mo Deqiang still suppressed this displeasure.
He had just received a phone call from his daughter, who said that a friend's relative she knew in Imperial City had offended the Gong Family in Huangyang Village and asked him to intervene and resolve the matter.
He asked his daughter who the other party was, but she was somewhat vague and didn't provide a clear answer, simply stating that the other party was a very close friend of hers, and that this matter had to be resolved properly.
Mo Deqiang readily agreed.
His daughter worked in a special department in Imperial City, and because of her, the Mo Family's influence had risen even higher, so he naturally had to take the matter seriously.
But at the same time, he believed this was just a minor conflict, and that Gong Daqian would certainly give him face with a personal phone call, sparing him the need to intervene personally.
Just then, he received a message on his phone.
Mo Deqiang opened the message, and his expression instantly changed.
The content of the message was: Dad, Miss Qin is my immediate supervisor. You must handle this matter well, and you cannot let Miss Qin's relatives suffer any grievances.
Mo Deqiang was sharp; he understood the importance of the matter as soon as he read his daughter's message.
His daughter was extremely competent, and the other party turned out to be her immediate supervisor. His daughter had also said that Miss Qin was from Imperial City.
Such a person either possessed great personal strength or had an astonishing family background.
No matter which it was, they were worth currying favor with for the Mo Family.
Without calling his daughter for more details, Mo Deqiang made up his mind and walked outside.
A disciple stepped forward to greet him: "Master, are you going out?"
"Start the car. We're going to Huangyang Village," Mo Deqiang said.
He decided to take a look in person.
Gong Daqian had still brought so many people after receiving his call, probably while angered, so he needed to go there himself to suppress Gong Daqian.
...
At Yang Family Village, as Gong Daqian's angry roar erupted, Yang Fei was about to approach and talk to him.
Qin Yanyang shook her head at him and walked forward to Gong Daqian, saying, "Didn't you get a call from the Mo Family?"
That simple sentence dissipated much of the anger in Gong Daqian's heart.
Especially, the confident and powerful aura emanating from Qin Yanyang made him realize instantly that this unbelievably beautiful woman had an extraordinary background.
However, before Gong Daqian could speak, Gong Yuping pointed at Qin Yanyang and said, "Dad, this is the woman who instigated her husband to break my leg. I want her husband dead, and I want to torment this woman."
When Gong Daqian heard his son's rage, and thought about how his only son had his remaining leg broken, grief surged forth and anger prevailed.
He looked at Qin Yanyang and said, "Indeed, Mr. Mo has called me, and in consideration of Mr. Mo's face, I will not pursue the others. But my son, Gong Daqian's son, can't just let it go after being crippled, right? Whoever broke my son's leg, I want his life!"
By the end, a ferocious glint flashed through Gong Daqian's eyes.
All he wanted was the life of the person who broke his son's leg. After that, he would not pursue the matter further. In doing so, he would both avenge his son and maintain the Gong Family's honor, while also showing full respect to the Mo Family.
As Gong Daqian spoke, everyone around was startled, not expecting Qin Yanyang to have such leverage, capable of appeasing Gong Daqian's fury.
Huang Dayong breathed a significant sigh of relief; he feared being implicated the most.
At the same time, he carefully looked at Qin Yanyang, wiping sweat from his brow discreetly.
This woman was indeed extraordinary, with a significant background.
But that kid who broke Gong Yuping's legs, this time, he's definitely dead!
However, in their rage, Gong Daqian and Gong Yuping, whose minds were clouded by hatred, both failed to notice that after Gong Yuping uttered those words, Qin Yanyang's expression turned dark, her brows revealing a trace of murderous disdain.
She had truly intended to downplay the incident and settle it peacefully, but Gong Yuping had utterly infuriated her.
Slowly shaking her head, Qin Yanyang said, "Originally, I wanted to settle this matter peacefully and give you a chance, but now, the attitude of you two, father and son, makes me think that Huangyang County might be better off without you."
Gong Daqian was startled, then burst into hearty laughter, "Young lady, I see you have an extraordinary demeanor and know you might have some background, but have you ever heard that even a powerful dragon can't suppress the local snake. In Huangyang County, no one can touch Gong Daqian, so, no matter what you say, I want this man of yours to die."
Qin Yanyang's eyes were cold as she took out her mobile phone, dialed a number, and said, "I've changed my mind, let the Gong Family completely disappear from Huangyang County."
Having said that, she hung up the phone.
Absolute silence filled the room.
Except for Yang Fei, everyone was looking at Qin Yanyang in astonishment. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.
The villagers were especially dumbfounded.
Nobody expected this seemingly easygoing, always smiling, beautiful, and kind woman to say such a thing.
This was too ridiculous.
To actually want to erase the Gong Family from Huangyang County?
The Yang Family guy who had been missing for ten years, he must have married a lunatic.
Indeed, they had been wondering how such a beautiful woman could possibly take a liking to that poor guy from the Yang Family. It turned out she had a problem in her head.
Gong Daqian saw a kind of contempt in Qin Yanyang's final cold stare.
A nameless fear and despair rose in the depths of his heart.
But he quickly calmed down and even laughed aloud, "Hahaha, did I hear wrong, or are you talking nonsense, erasing my Gong Family from Huangyang County?"
"Hahaha..."
The more than eighty people he brought with him burst into raucous laughter.
All of them looked at Qin Yanyang with scornful and mocking eyes.
One person, with lewd intentions, laughed and said, "Mr. Gong, after Young Master Gong gets bored with this woman, I also want to..."
"Slap!"
A crisp slap rang out, and before the man could finish his sentence, he was sent flying out, lying on the ground motionless.
"Fuck it, let's go, kill this punk!"
"Cripple him first!"
In a moment, roars erupted, and the people Gong Daqian brought with him, accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing, were now even more emboldened by their numbers while serving Mr. Gong and the young master. Each one was incredibly fierce, and a fight broke out.
"Stop! Gong Daqian, if you don't want to die, get them to stop!"
Just then, an angry roar came from afar.
The voice was deep and resonant, deafening, causing everyone's eardrums to ache, and many villagers, surprised, covered their ears.
Gong Daqian, hearing this voice, trembled and his face turned ashen, "Mo... Mr. Mo, why are you here?"
At the same time, he bellowed, "Everybody stop!"
The subordinates halted their movements at once.
The crowd parted, and Mo Deqiang walked up with a livid face.
"Mr. Mo," Gong Daqian said, bowing respectfully to Mo Deqiang.
Mo Deqiang snorted and, looking at Qin Yanyang with a smile, said, "Miss Qin, I apologize for being late. Rest assured, I will make sure you are satisfied with how this matter is resolved."
He then turned to Gong Daqian and ordered, "Daqian, quickly apologize to Miss Qin, and let's put an end to this matter."
Qin Yanyang glanced indifferently at Mo Deqiang and shook her head coolly, "I've changed my mind, the Gong Family must disappear from Huangyang County."
