Chapter 601: Chapter 587: Then, let me be your woman!_2
"Bo Qiudong had someone kidnap me and Qin Fan’s girlfriend, which nearly led to an unimaginable outcome! Our Chang Family was just one step away from Hell!"
Without spelling it out, Chang Yuanyi knew his father was no ordinary man.
"What!" On the other end of the line, Chang Haisheng leaped from the sofa, his eyes wide with sheer terror! He asked, his voice trembling, "What’s the situation now?"
"We were saved by the grace of our Chang Family ancestors! Mr. Qin arrived at the last possible moment. Five people have already died over this matter! But that wasn’t enough to quell Mr. Qin’s wrath. Just now, he ordered me to make a public announcement: tonight at midnight, the Bo Family will be slaughtered! Anyone who runs will have their three closest relations executed; anyone who flees will have their entire nine-generation clan exterminated! There are only a little over two hours until midnight! Jinling is headed for disaster tonight!"
Even just repeating Qin Fan’s ruthless declaration, Chang Yuanyi couldn’t stop his throat from convulsing. The shock was so profound that he couldn’t begin to imagine what Jinling would look like after sunrise.
This was different from the Du Family and the Qiao Family of the garrison command. The nature of the Bo Family was far too sensitive!
"Did... did he really say that?" Although he knew Chang Yuanyi would never joke about something like this, Chang Haisheng still stammered, shivering uncontrollably.
"Dad, there isn’t much time!" Chang Yuanyi said with grave seriousness.
"I’ll contact the higher-ups immediately!" Chang Haisheng replied swiftly before hastily hanging up.
It was no secret to the public that the Bo Family and the Chang Family were at odds, but this concerned the entire power structure of Jinling, forcing Chang Haisheng to set aside the grievances between the two families. At this moment, he felt no schadenfreude, only a deep-seated panic for the city under his governance.
As Qin Fan carried Jiang Yino out of the cinema exit, the torrential downpour that had been raging just a moment before eerily ceased. Stepping through the gurgling rainwater, Qin Fan glanced up at the dark, starless night sky as a chilling smile slowly spread across his lips. He stopped, looking up at the sky and murmuring, "My sins need no cleansing from you! In this world, all land beneath my feet is my domain, and in my domain, all must follow my law! Those who court death shall be executed!"
Holding the still-sleeping Jiang Yino, he took off, moving with a ghostly speed that was nearly invisible to the naked eye.
As the sudden downpour came to an end, the entire upper echelon of Jinling was thrown into utter chaos. The news that the Bo Family would be slaughtered at midnight swept through the city like a hurricane.
The circle of the rich and powerful was in an uproar. An unending stream of calls flooded the phones of Bo Qiudong and his father, Bo Xianmin. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
「In the Bo Family’s mansion, a symbol of peak status in Jinling.」
Bo Xianmin’s face was already ashen from the incessant calls, and he was shaking violently under the anxious, terrified gaze of his wife. His face was a mask of not only terror but also complete despair.
"Xianmin, what happened? Don’t scare me!" Seeing Bo Xianmin hang up yet another call, the noblewoman clutched his hand, her voice trembling as she cried out. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"The Bo Family... we’re finished!" Bo Xianmin said, his uncontrollable shaking continuing. Just as he spoke, his phone rang again.
He was about to ignore it, but his eyes widened when he saw the caller ID, and he hurriedly answered. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he pleaded, "Old Leader, you have to save my Bo Family!"
"Xianmin, I really shouldn’t be making this call," a regretful voice sighed from the other end. "But given our past relationship, I have to ask: what exactly happened? What could have possibly escalated things to this degree?"
"I don’t know! I really don’t know anything! Old Leader, you can’t just let that brat trample all over the law, can you?" Bo Xianmin’s words became increasingly incoherent.
He was not only familiar with Qin Fan, but he had also had stacks of files on the man delivered to his desk long ago. It was safe to say that every public detail of Qin Fan’s life over the years was imprinted on his mind. The Qin Fan of the past was not to be feared, hardly worth a second glance. But a few months ago, a subversive change had begun. From the incidents during his later time at Qi Middle School to the annihilation of both the Du and Qiao families, he knew everything he needed to about Qin Fan.
Yet now, such a monstrous existence is coming after my Bo Family? Weren’t the grievances between him and Qiudong already settled? How could things have devolved to this point?
Knowing what he did, he understood that Qin Fan had the power to back up his words; the fate of the Qiao Family was still a fresh, vivid memory. The fact that a once-discarded pawn could commit such an outrageous act and still roam free spoke volumes, and Bo Xianmin was painfully aware of the implications. Now, facing his old leader’s questions, his mind went utterly blank. All he could do was tremble and speak incoherently.
"You don’t know? Comrade Haisheng reported that Bo Qiudong had Qin Fan’s girlfriend and Chang Yuanyi kidnapped in an attempt to get revenge through sordid means! You’re telling me you still don’t know about this?" the voice on the other end asked, astonished.
Bo Xianmin’s body stiffened. "What?" he cried out in reflexive disbelief.
"If that’s really the case, Xianmin..." The voice paused for a moment, then continued in a sad, somber tone, "I doubt anyone will be able to stop him."
