Chapter 239: Chapter 237: Cleaning Up the Remnants
Yu Dongling gently shook her head in Qin Hao’s embrace, then, as her mory stretched far back, she slowly said, “I don’t hate him, how could I hate him? Even though he used , treated
as bait. But he was also there, I know he never intended to hurt .”
“Although I don’t know what kind of business he was involved in, I rember that when I was young, all the friends who tried to get close to
eventually stayed far away, and those who wanted to bully
either transferred schools or mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.”
“When I grew up a bit more, I could guess a little. To others, my father wasn’t a good person. He was even a heinous scoundrel who made people grit their teeth in anger.”
“But I know, he was actually a very foolish person, always stubbornly sticking to his set of values, always hoping to teach
to be cold-blooded and ruthless. But he himself was always willing to let others use him as a tool because of so trivial favor in the past.”
“Because of him, I hardly had any friends growing up; anyone who got close to
would be warned off by him. He used his own thods to protect
all along.”
“Even if he deceived , I am willing to believe him. Because I know, he would never harm .”
“My father wasn’t a good person, but he gave all his goodness to . Even if the whole world hated him, I would never hate him.”
“He was a good father!”
Yu Dongling’s voice was soft but firm.
Hearing this, Qin Hao managed a faint smile of relief. If Yu Qing knew this in the afterlife, he might be able to close his eyes peacefully now.
After Yu Dongling finished speaking, she remained silent for a long ti, then wiped a tear and quietly said, “But now, I no longer have a father, no one will protect
anymore.”
As she spoke, her tone turned to sobbing, and tears flowed once more.
Feeling Yu Dongling’s fragility and helplessness in his embrace, Qin Hao held her tightly and said, in a quiet yet equally firm voice:
“Don’t worry, from now on, I will protect you.”
Yu Dongling was montarily stunned, then nodded lightly and continued leaning into Qin Hao’s embrace. The two of them stayed silently holding each other like this.
It wasn’t until very late that Qin Hao sent the now emotionally composed Yu Dongling back to her ho. At this ti, Yu Qing’s wife still wasn’t aware of his passing.
Qin Hao escorted Yu Dongling to her mother’s side, then turned and got in the car.
He watched from a distance as Yu Dongling and her mother, the two won relying on each other, walked into the house. He let out another long sigh from his heart.
Next, he needed to quickly deal with the remnants of Yu Qing’s power.
Now that Yu Qing was dead, his legacy had beco a ss. His subordinates might not remain loyal to Yu Qing and stay on the sa side.
With no leader, if Qin Hao didn’t act quickly to consolidate and handle these affairs, the Blood Leaf Killer Group would intervene and once again support a new Yu Qing.
At that ti, the best outco for Yu Qing’s now unsupported mother and daughter would be eviction, holessness. And in a worse scenario, it’s possible that the mother and daughter could beco slaves.
After all, the underworld has always been a bloody jungle where the desperate, who lick their knives, do not adhere to any moral bottom line.
Qin Hao made up his mind and imdiately dialed Fang Zhenwu’s number.
“Hello, Xiaowu.”
“Hey, boss, what brings you to
this late?” Fang Zhenwu, who was about to go to sleep, perked up upon seeing Qin Hao’s call.
“Yu Qing is dead, and his true identity was a mber of the Blood Leaf Killer Group.”
Fang Zhenwu was taken aback at these words, and before he could respond, Qin Hao continued, “We’ll discuss the details when we et. Right now, I need you to act as quickly as possible. Before the news of Yu Qing’s death spreads, move to consolidate his leftover forces.”
“Okay, boss, should we do this under your na or use the Fang Group’s na?”
Qin Hao thought for a mont and then said, “Say it’s under Mr. Ye’s orders, understand?”
“No problem, I’ll handle it now.”
Fang Zhenwu hung up the phone, imdiately changed out of his pajamas, quickly made a few calls, and got busy.
In less than half an hour, the forces of the Fang Group, spread across all corners of Qingshan City, began waking from their slumber, moving rapidly to execute Qin Hao’s orders.
————
The night passed amidst a flurry of hidden turbulence on all sides.
The next day, a piece of news, like a bombshell, swept through all the high-level forces of Qingshan City, waking the groggy heads of every family and group leader as if hit by a tidal wave.
Yu Qing had died mysteriously.
Mr. Ye had begun reorganizing Yu Qing’s remaining n.
These two seemingly unconnected bits of news instantly gave every think tank in Qingshan City a headache.
At the Chen Family, Chen Yuanzhi frowned deeply as he gazed outside the window.
“Yu Qing is dead, and he died inexplicably. No one knows the cause of death. anwhile, Mr. Ye has begun taking over Yu Qing’s forces.”
“Could it be that Mr. Ye killed Yu Qing? They had just declared war on each other, so this is the most likely scenario. But if Mr. Ye really did it, why wouldn’t he announce it? It’s such a perfect opportunity to boost his prestige; he has no reason to keep it hidden?”
Chen Yuanzhi kept muttering to himself, continuously deducing the truth behind the events in his mind. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out, ultimately reinforcing his resolve to cling to Mr. Ye as a valuable ally.
This mindset was pervasive among the families and other groups in Qingshan City. Because everyone knew about the previous public feud between Yu Qing and Mr. Ye. Now, with Yu Qing inexplicably dead and Mr. Ye still alive and well.
Such an outco, even if Mr. Ye didn’t openly declare that he was responsible for Yu Qing’s death, people would assu he was involved.
Because Qin Hao acted so early, the consolidation of Yu Qing’s remaining forces proceeded smoothly. In just one day, the forr underground king of Qingshan City had lost all influence, and was absorbed under Qin Hao’s command.
The rapid pace of this progress left so people unable to stay put.
That afternoon, just as Qin Hao finished listening to Fang Zhenwu’s report, the phone call from Qin Wentian ca in. Qin Hao was right beside him, listening as Fang Zhenwu reported on the reorganization efforts.
Fang Zhenwu, holding the phone, gave Qin Hao a look, and Qin Hao nodded slightly, then said, “Answer it and see what he has to say.”
Fang Zhenwu answered the phone, and Qin Wentian’s anxious voice ca through from the receiver.
“Hello, Young Master Fang, could you arrange for
to et with Mr. Ye now?”
Fang Zhenwu had the speakerphone on, and Qin Wentian’s clear voice echoed in the room. Qin Hao, hearing this, shook his head slightly at Fang Zhenwu.
Understanding the cue, Fang Zhenwu imdiately replied, “Oh, Mr. Qin. May I know what business you have with Mr. Ye?”
Qin Wentian seed rather anxious, as if he had finally figured sothing out…
