Chapter 474: Chapter 474

The head of Yuanfang Group is Old Master Qin's biological son?!

Even someone as composed as Ding Fan couldn't help but be taken aback upon hearing this news.

From Qian Shiwang, Ding Fan only knew that Jin Guangtai despised the Qin's Group immensely, which is why he spared no effort in attacking the Dancheng branch of the Qin Subsidiary, targeting the now-booming Wenxin Pill.

What Ding Fan had never anticipated was that this Qian Shiwang would turn out to be Father and Son with Old Master Qin.

Qin Manshu let out a small sigh before continuing to speak. "About this Jin Guangtai, I only recently heard the story from my grandfather. It was during the Korean War when my grandfather led his troops into Korea for battle, and later, wounded, he stayed at a local peasant's home to recover.

"During that time, Grandfather got to know Jin Guangtai's mother, and as time passed, affection grew between them and they began living together. However, as the war intensified, Grandfather had to return to the front lines once his injuries had healed. The Korean woman used to write letters to him regularly. But due to the circumstances at the time, my grandfather never really had the chance to write back.

"Later on, there was a long period when Grandfather received no letters from the Korean woman. He recalled that the last letter from her mentioned she was pregnant with his child...

"After the war ended, the first thing my grandfather did was to look for the Korean woman, but the place where she had lived had already been bombed to rubble, and hardly anyone from the village had survived. My grandfather just assumed that she had died, and he returned home with his troops later on."

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing asked, "Then how did you find out that the CEO of Yuanfang Group is your grandfather's son?"

"Jin Guangtai came looking for my grandfather; he had a photo with him of that woman..." Qin Manshu said. "However, Jin Guangtai claimed that he does not intend to acknowledge my grandfather as his father; he wants to avenge his mother! He is determined to make my grandfather fall from grace and be disgraced!"

"Did the Korean woman die?" Lin Qingqing asked.

Qin Manshu nodded. "I heard Jin Guangtai was brought up solely by that woman, enduring a lot of hardships. Later, she seemed to have developed cancer and then passed away... Hence, Jin Guangtai blames everything on my grandfather, believing it was Grandfather who abandoned them, and he wants justice for his mother."

Ding Fan looked at Qin Manshu. "It seems there's not much I can do to help you with this."

Even an honest official finds it hard to settle family affairs, and indeed, Ding Fan was genuinely unable to be of much help in this matter.

"Brother Fan, I'm afraid you're the only one who can help us now," Qin Manshu said, looking at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was taken aback.

Qin Manshu continued, "My grandfather was aware when Jin Guangtai was plotting against the Dancheng branch company, but he feels that he owes Jin Guangtai and his mother too much, that's why he has been ignoring the matter..."

Originally, Ding Fan had wondered how Yuanfang Group dared to provoke Qin's Group when Yuanfang Group was just a small local company. He had genuinely been puzzled about where Yuanfang Group got the courage to mess with Qin's Group.

What made Ding Fan suspicious was that even though Yuanfang Group had emerged as a new threat, the Qin family hadn't taken any action, which made things very unclear. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Having listened to Qin Manshu's explanation today, Ding Fan finally understood the situation. It was because Old Master Qin felt guilty about Jin Guangtai and his mother that he had been silently watching.

At that moment, Qin Manshu went on to say, "...But, Brother Fan, as Jin Guangtai becomes increasingly aggressive, and considering you must already know about the Dancheng branch company's situation, Jin Guangtai is not only causing troubles in Dancheng but also relentlessly attacking many of Qin's Group's key industries. In less than a month, Qin's Group has already suffered losses of over ten billion yuan!"

In less than a month, to lose over ten billion yuan means losing about five to six hundred million a day! For any company, that is a significant loss.

"...The current situation is that Jin Guangtai is pressing hard, and my grandfather remains silent, allowing the adversary to stab him without resistance. Grandfather believes that this is his redemption, but if this continues, Qin's Group will be completely dragged down," Qin Manshu said with urgency.

After hearing everything Qin Manshu had to say, Ding Fan slowly lifted his head and asked, "Are you asking me to rein in Jin Guangtai?"

Qin Manshu nodded. "Brother Fan, I've already heard about the bet you made with that Elder, that if the Migratory Bird Pill does not show effect within ten days, you will close the Dancheng branch company."

The bet Ding Fan had with the Elder in front of the media had been the talk of Dancheng lately, so it was unlikely anyone wouldn't know about it.

Ding Fan nodded. "Yes, that's the case."

Qin Manshu looked up, her face earnest as she regarded Ding Fan. "Brother Fan, how confident are you that you'll win?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I believe my chances should be quite great," Ding Fan said calmly.

"Then, Brother Fan, you must succeed in this bet!" Qin Manshu insisted. "The person behind the framing of the Wenxin Pill is none other than Yuanfang Group, and since they have declared an all-out war, then let's engage them. This bet will be our first counterattack! And this counterattack, it must be resounding!"

Ding Fan nodded, understanding Qin Manshu's point. She wanted to use this bet as an opportunity to start countering back, little by little.

"I'll do my best," Ding Fan nodded and said.

"Thank you so much, Brother Fan!" Qin Manshu stood up very solemnly at this point, and then bowed deeply to Ding Fan.

In Qin Manshu's view, as long as Ding Fan did his best, then absolutely no problem would be insurmountable!

After discussing the matter at hand, Ding Fan and the two women chatted about some other things.

Having arranged to meet with Governor Liang Shouyu, Ding Fan left promptly after having something to eat.

Ding Fan had called Governor Liang in advance, and the two had agreed to meet at a private club.

When Ding Fan arrived, someone was already waiting at the club's entrance. Upon hearing of Ding Fan's arrival, the person immediately led Ding Fan to meet Governor Liang Shouyu.

Dancheng, Qin Family's study.

"****, how are the preparations for 'Migratory Bird' in the west of the city?"

At this moment, Qian Shiwang was seated behind his desk, playing with a piece of jade.

"Big brother, all the 'Migratory Birds' in the west of the city are ready, and all the breeding bodies are normal!" Qian **** reported earnestly.

Qian Shiwang nodded. "This matter is related to the rise and fall of our Qian Family, so you must take your responsibility there seriously!"

Qian **** nodded. "Big brother, rest assured, whenever you need me—especially at such a critical moment—I am willing to give everything for you!"

Qian Shiwang nodded. "Yuanfang Group has already developed the vaccine to suppress the plague. If it passes the test tomorrow and truly can suppress the plague, then all the 'Migratory Birds' will be released."

Creak... Qian Shiwang opened a drawer and took out several notebooks.

"These are the passports to Brazil, and there are five million on the bank card. I've been quite busy recently; after tomorrow's matter is settled, you should go there and rest for a while," Qian Shiwang said, pointing to the notebooks he had thrown on the desk.

"Big brother... you... you are too kind to me..."

Qian ****'s eyes reddened at this moment. If he hadn't controlled himself, tears might have fallen.

"Apart from these notebooks, take this as well," Qian Shiwang said as he took out a syringe.

Qian **** looked at the syringe, slightly taken aback.

"Big brother? What is this?"

Qian Shiwang spoke indifferently, "Once the 'Migratory Birds' are released, the whole world is bound to descend into chaos. This syringe contains the vaccine that can suppress the plague. Once this vaccine is administered, you won't be infected by the plague."

Qian **** took the syringe from Qian Shiwang's hand. For a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What? Do you suspect the syringe I gave you has a problem?" Qian Shiwang said from the side.

"How could I? How could I ever doubt my big brother..." Qian **** grabbed the syringe and, in front of Qian Shiwang, injected it directly into his muscle.

"Big brother, my life is yours; whenever you want it, you can have it!" Qian **** said, patting his chest.

Qian Shiwang nodded. "Then go on and do a good job. If this works out, I definitely won't let you down."

Qian **** quickly showed a fawning smile. "Big brother, I always knew you cared the most for me..."

At this point, Qian Shiwang didn't want to continue listening to Qian ****'s nonsense. "All right, you may go. I'm a bit tired."

Seeing that Qian Shiwang had given the order to leave, Qian **** didn't dare to linger and promptly departed.

"The injection you gave him was the virus, not the vaccine, wasn't it..." At this moment, a hidden door opened, and Qian Shiwang's great uncle stepped out.

Qian Shiwang nodded. "Great uncle's insight is sharp! After the 'Migratory Bird' is released, Qian **** can go to Brazil as a virus breeding entity; by that time, our mutated plague virus will become the most formidable in the world!"

The elder called Great Uncle glanced in the direction Qian **** had disappeared, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"After all, that man is your cousin!"

Qian Shiwang took a deep breath, and then his calm eyes flashed with a fervent glow. "When he slept with my woman, he should have foreseen a day ..."
