Free Web NovelChapter 602: Chapter 587: Then, let me be your woman! _3
Bao Xianming couldn’t process another word. His entire mind reeled with terror at the implications! How could Qiudong possibly have someone kidnap Chang Yuanyi and Qin Fan’s girlfriend? Where did he get the courage? How dare he?
"Dad, save me! Save me!"
At that moment, Bao Qiudong’s bedroom door burst open. Losing all control, a crazed-looking Bao Qiudong stumbled out and collapsed at Bo Xianmin’s feet, screaming in terror.
"A calamity! A calamity! This is a disaster!"
Although she didn’t know exactly what had happened, the lady of the house’s political astuteness had been honed by years of exposure. From Bo Xianmin’s earlier cry that the Bo Family was finished and the sudden, drastic change in her husband and son, she understood the family had been plunged into a nightmare. And her son, Bao Qiudong, was the one who had brought this nightmare upon them.
「Far from Beijing.」
In a courtyard house, an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit heard Bao Qiudong’s terrified cry through the phone. He shook his head and sighed heavily with regret. Then, without waiting for the now-silent Bo Xianmin to respond, he hung up. His attitude was made implicitly clear by that single action.
He was powerless to help the Bo Family. After all, they weren’t dealing with an ordinary Martial Artist, but a peerless demon the likes of which appeared only once a century. A demon who had single-handedly slaughtered the Ninja and Onmyoji worlds of Japan, leaving no one alive! Yet he still casually treated the world as his playground. Under these unspeakable circumstances, what could he do? Turn against such a demon for the sake of a single family? Drive a monster like that into the arms of the opposition? Impossible.
That was why, on this matter, they could only try to persuade Qin Fan; they would never dare to obstruct him. Things had come to this point entirely because of Bao Qiudong’s own foolish, self-destructive actions. He had no one to blame but himself. The fate of the Bo Family could only be left to Heaven’s will now.
「The Bo Family.」
Bo Xianmin’s fear grew with each passing second. When he came back to his senses, he realized the person on the other end had already hung up. At his level, how could he not understand what this meant, what it represented? As fear curdled into despair, his expression twisted, and he viciously slapped Bao Qiudong across the face.
SLAP!
"You wretched creature! You have ruined the Bo Family! You have destroyed it!"
His trembling hand rose and slapped Bao Qiudong again.
In the next moment, as if drained of all strength, Bo Xianmin collapsed onto the sofa. His gaze flickered between vacancy and despair.
"Dad, save me! He’s a madman, a complete madman! He’s going to kill us! He’ll really kill us!" No longer feeling the stinging pain on his cheek, his world consumed by terror, Bao Qiudong clutched desperately at Bo Xianmin’s trouser leg, his cries incoherent.
"Dad, let’s go! Let’s get out of here and lay low! We can go to Beijing and request protection in a safe house! Please, Dad, please!" Oblivious to the pain from the slaps, Bao Qiudong shuffled forward on his knees, his voice a panicked, trembling screech.
"Qiudong, what happened?! What in the world happened?!" The matriarch, her face pale with fright, knelt and clutched her son, demanding in a shrill voice.
"Talk. Explain everything from start to finish! Don’t you dare leave out a single detail!" Following his wife’s question, Bo Xianmin, his brow furrowed into a tight knot, growled in a hoarse voice. He couldn’t just sit back and await their doom; the Bo Family couldn’t simply wait to die. But before he could formulate a plan, he needed to understand the entire sequence of events. This was no ordinary opponent. He was facing a heaven-defying existence that seemed to operate completely outside the law.
"Dad, I didn’t want to do this! I... I was led astray! Yes, that’s it, someone manipulated me!" Looking as if he were possessed, Bao Qiudong’s lips trembled uncontrollably as he alternated between nodding and shaking his head.
"Who manipulated you?" Despite being a towering figure in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Bo Xianmin forced down the initial wave of panic and despair. With a pale face and a twitching lip, he asked sharply.
"Chen Tiansheng!" Bao Qiudong blurted out the name without a second thought.
"Chen Tiansheng?" Bo Xianmin’s eyes widened. The name didn’t ring a bell.
"Yes," Bao Qiudong continued, his voice trembling as he met his father’s dazed look. "He’s the one who rescued me when I was kidnapped years ago! He’s been abroad ever since, but we kept in touch. He looked me up as soon as he got back, saying he wanted to deal with Qin Fan! His plan was to kidnap Qin Fan’s girlfriend and Chang Yuanyi to drive Qin Fan insane. He said that Qin Fan would definitely kill Chang Yuanyi, maybe even implicate the entire Chang Family! In his madness, he would tear the skies of Jinling apart and inevitably place himself in opposition to the law! When that happened, Qin Fan would have to face the wrath of the highest authorities!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"So it was him!" Bo Xianmin said, his initial shock giving way to rage. "Wanting to deal with Qin Fan is his business! Why did you have to get involved? Did you forget how untouchable that monster is? Huh?! Why? Tell me why!" As he spoke, Bo Xianmin lunged forward, grabbed Bao Qiudong by the collar, and roared.
"Dad, I was wrong! He provoked me! I... I... I was determined not to get involved, but then... I don’t know why, it was like I was bewitched, and I agreed! But all I did was help him find a few people to kidnap Jiang Yino! I didn’t do anything else, I swear! How did Qin Fan find out it was me? How could he possibly know?! Dad, I was wrong, I was so wrong! You have to save me! Please, save me!"
