Chapter 274 Building a Relationship

Qian Xi’s brain was running fast. He knew Zhang Wei and didn’t think he was so smart or even had the ability. So, who was exactly the man behind the scenes? What good was it for him to do so?

“Take out whatever evidence you have, and don’t mislead the crowd if you don’t. Third Brother is wise and smart and can surely judge who is lying.”

Zhang Wei was sure Ding Ning could not provide the evidence. Pretending to be wrongly accused, he clamored.

“Since you wish to die so much, let me help you.”

The corner of Ding Ning’s mouth was raised with disdain. Turning and walking to Lu Zhan, he tugged at a button of his jacket and a pinhole camera appeared in his palm.

Looking at him with confusion, he didn’t know when Ding Ning installed something tricky on his jacket.

Ding Ning didn’t explain to him, either. He only used Lu Zhan as a cover-up. In fact, he secretly took this pinhole camera from Xiaocui.

He threw the micro hard disk he took out to Qian Xi. “Third Brother Qian, replace a notebook and see what is in the disk, and you will know whether I am lying or not.”

“Give me a notebook!”

Narrowing his eyes to look at the pale-faced Zhang Wei and his men, he knew what happened instantly, his fury burning.

In fact, on the way here, Ding Ning had learned the details from Chu Yunxiu’s statement in the angle of Xiaocui and already known who the man behind the scenes was.

Sister Sun had long been bribed by Liu Junwei. Knowing Chu Yunxiu very well, she used Chu’s greedy desire of money to lure her to the casino, and let her bite her baits gradually and owe huge sums of debts.

Without the Qian Family’s collaboration, some things couldn’t have been done. So, there must be a backer from the Qian Family to help set the trap behind Zhang Wei and his men.

Previously, he thought it was Qian Xi, but now seeing Qian Xi’s behavior, he had initially ruled out his suspicion on Qian Xi.

He didn’t know beforehand that the Qian Family and Xiaoyao were relatives. Knowing it made him a little hesitant: How should he treat the people involved from the Qian Family?

Even until now, he was still unclear if Xiao Nuo and Xiaoyao truly had sex with him that night.

So, during that time, he tried to avoid Xiao Nuo subconsciously. Even if she called him occasionally, he was also anxious and didn’t know how to face her.

As for Liu Junwei, who played tricks behind the scenes, he would never let him off.

It was a big deal to deal with him, but he would never allow others to hurt the people around him with these filthy means, even including Chu Yunxiu, a woman he disliked.

After all, no matter how he disliked Chu Yunxiu, she was still Ling Yun’s mother, Ling Fei’s wife, and also his future mother-in-law. Hurting her was equal to hurting Uncle Ling and his daughter. He could not tolerate it.

Now, Qian Fang had brought a notebook. Angry-faced, Qian Xi opened the hard disk to see the video footage.

Extremely pale, Zhang Wei and his men never thought Ding Ning’s friend came to rescue a woman with a pinhole camera. Now they were finished.

Lu Zhan handed Old Duck’s mobile to Ding Ning by the chance and whispered, “These men have a backer.”

“Brother Qing, our plan failed. Things changed. The third Childe of Qian Family and our target know each other. What should we do now?”

Ding Ning glimpsed the text message, which was ready to be sent to a phone number marked as Brother Qing. Obviously, it was a number from Xiangjiang.

He nodded quietly and whispered, “Take that Old Duck to Wang Yang’s car and interrogate him. They probably come from Xiangjiang.”

Previously, Ding Ning had found Old Duck spoke in an awkward accent. Now seeing a Xiangjiang’s number, he was suddenly clear. These people were probably from Xiangjiang, speaking Mandarin deliberately. So, they made others feel very strange.

This was the only flaw in Liu Junwei’s calculation. He asked Cao Heqing to bring his men here to finish the task and leave silently. For this aim, Cao Heqing also specially selected a group of men who could speak Mandarin.

The extremely standard Mandarin in Cao Heqing’s eyes was absolutely a joke for the mainlanders to hear, for a few speaking habits Xiangjiang people had would never change.

“Yes, boss!”

Taking Old Duck with one hand, Lu Zhan walked to the outside. Without Qian Xi’s order, these guards did not stop him but made way for him.

“Zhang Wei, also you guys. Now, what else do you want to say?”

Qian Xi stared at the video, with his face turning darker and darker, shouting furiously.

No matter how good the discipline was, one had to take a few minutes to gather over 100 beaters.

The video showed that as soon as Lu Zhan began hitting those usury owners, Zhang Wei and his men, fully equipped, rushed out. Without asking, they began hitting.

Obviously, Zhang Wei came prepared, and Ding Ning’s deduction was real.

Over 100 guards got salaries from the Qian Family but listened to Zhang Wei’s orders! They all lied to him, the third son of the Qian Family. Qian Xi could not tolerate it.

Drooping their heads out of shame, these guards didn’t dare to look at Qian Xi’s eyes that shot the fire of anger. They felt regret. How come they had believed Zhang Wei’s b*llshit? Now, everyone was in serious trouble.

Their silence made Qian Xi even angrier. Dark-faced, he shouted, “Guards, lock up all of them. After I report to my family, let’s deal with them all.”

“Third Childe, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have lied. I beg you to give me one more chance.”

“Sorry, Third Childe, we all lied because of Squad Head Zhang’s threat. Please forgive us.”

“Yes, Third Childe, Zhang Wei is our squad head. If we didn’t listen to him, he would throw us into trouble. We didn’t want to cheat you.”

“Third Childe, I know I am wrong. Please give me one more chance. I cannot lose my job. I also need to raise my family. I beg you.”

...

The over 100 guards felt quite regret. Working at the Qian Family’s place, they could have handsome salaries without risks and looked powerful wherever they went.

Now, they were about to be kicked out because of a lie and lose the high-salary job. Anyway, they could not accept it.

So, they became desperate, begging hard to get Qian Xi’s forgiveness. Accusing Zhang Wei of his fault, they put on a human nature scandal.

Qian Xi didn’t change his decision, wearing a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. “Childe Ding once gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Now it is too late. Since you don’t know who your master is, please share the same result with Zhang Wei. Guards, take all of them away and lock them up.”

“Yes, Third Childe!”

Just now, feeling sorry for the loss of their kind, the over 100 guards Qian Xi brought hesitated and didn’t want to move.

But now seeing Qian Xi’s iron-dark face, they did not dare to hesitate anymore. Responding with a shout, they rushed over and dragged every pale-faced guard away.

“Third Childe, can I have a private talk with you?”

Zhang Wei had been silent with his head drooped. Not until two guards were ready to drag him away did he suddenly turned to Qian Xi and begged.

“Anything you can’t say in front of everyone?”

Qian Xi really didn’t want to see Zhang Wei. Thinking of all his security guards surprisingly only listening to the squad head and cheating him, he felt incensed.

“Third Childe, are you sure you want me to say it in public?”

Staring at Qian Xi, Zhang Wei had a quirky smile at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at his expression, Qian Xi felt nervous at once. The whole incident couldn’t have been planned by a security guards’ head. Zhang Wei must know it and wanted to tell him.

Instantly, he coughed and said to Ding Ning apologetically, “Brother Ding, wait a while, and let me see what he wants to say. I will apologize to you soon.”

“Third Brother, you are too courteous. Just help yourself. Now I still need to handle a small matter with them.”

Ding Ning knew his meaning. Pointing to those usury owners, he smiled and said.

“Okay, let’s chat in a while.”

Qian Xi was relaxed and spoke smilingly. He was really afraid Ding Ning insisted on hearing Zhang Wei’s words.

After all, this was related to the person from the Qian Family involved in the incident. If Ding Ning knew it, he might turn hostile against the family, but Qian Xi didn’t wish to see this result.

Taking Zhang Wei to an unoccupied box hurriedly, he didn’t notice that a hummingbird had secretly flown into the room before they entered it. Thus, every word they would say would enter Ding Ning’s ears.

“Aunt Chu, are you all right?”

Not until now did Ding Ning greet Chun Yunxiu with a smiling face.

“I am all right. That... I troubled you.”

Recalling her previous attitude to Ding Ning, Chu Yunxiu felt uneasy all over. With all kinds of feelings, she thanked him with an awkward expression.

“Don’t say that. We are family. There is no trouble.”

Ding Ning spoke naturally with an attitude, which was not different from his previous one. He vaguely had a kind of nameless excitement.

Chu Yunxiu felt guilty. Previously, she scorned Ding Ning, but now she had lost her family’s four houses, without a penny, and her situation might not be as good as Ding Ning’s.

No reason to belittle others, she forced an embarrassed smile. “In the past, it was my fault. Don’t take it seriously. In the future, come to our home to eat as often as you are free.”

“Sure, sure, I still remember the sweet and sour pork ribs you cooked. It tastes absolutely great.”

Ding Ning spoke against his will. Chu Yunxiu’s cooking skill was good, but it was not as good as his. But now, he had to flatter her. After all, she was Ling Yun’s mother.

“Okay, when you come to our home next time, I will cook the sweet and sour pork ribs for you.”

Chu Yunxiu had a broad smile and said.

“Home, do we have a home?”

Ling Yun looked serious and spoke at the improper time.

She really worried her mother would not learn the lesson and get addicted to gambling again in the future. She didn’t care about the small sums now, but she had to let her mother know the pain.

Chu Yunxiu was stunned, turned a little gloomy, and mumbled, “Right, do we have a home? It’s all my fault... my fault... waa...”

She cried as she spoke.

Ready to show off, Ding Ning rolled his eyes at Ling Yun and comforted Chun Yunxiu instantly. “Aunt Chu, don’t cry, don’t cry, it is only several houses. I can help...”

“Ding Ning, you protect her and don’t allow her to learn the lesson, and she will lose whatever sums she has in the future.”

Ling Yun glared at Ding Ning unhappily, signaling him not to blabber.

Ding Ning pursed his lips. This was the best opportunity to build a closer relationship with Chu Yunxiu, and he would never let it go. “The thing has a hidden trick. Aunt Chu was trapped by others. Otherwise, how could she have been addicted to gambling with her character?”

“You say my mother was trapped by others?”

Ling Yun frowned and asked with suspicion.

Chu Yunxiu had also stopped crying, looking at Ding Ning with doubt. She didn’t think she was trapped by others and only thought about her greed.

“True, Aunt Chu was trapped by others, but if Aunt Chu were not greedy, she would not have been trapped. So, for Ling Yun’s good, Aunt Chu, you cannot gamble anymore in the future.”

Ding Ning admonished sincerely.
