Chapter 907: Chapter 907

Hearing this, Ye Qing was completely shaken. His mind went blank in an instant, completely forgetting where he was and what he was doing.

Liu Changping's expression was not much different from Ye Qing's. He could guess Su Kaicheng's identity, and naturally, this made him even more shocked. Initially, he thought there was no hope for this matter. But unexpectedly, such a turn of events occurred midway. If his guess was correct, then the matter with the orphanage was truly not an issue at all.

After all, even major figures from the Capital had intervened in this. Moreover, judging from Su Kaicheng's tone, it seemed the Capital was aiming to pick a model case as a test for opening up private orphanages. And they had chosen Ye Qing's place. This essentially meant there would be no issues here. The decisions of Eastern Province couldn't possibly affect the Capital's directives!

The most critical point was that since Su Kaicheng had chosen Ye Qing's place and the Capital was satisfied with his decision, that itself sent a clear signal. At the very least, Su Kaicheng and the Su Family were deeply satisfied and trusting of Ye Qing. After all, a private orphanage was a bold experiment, and the authorities must find someone reliable to take on this task. This meant that the Su Family currently trusted Ye Qing fully!

Liu Changping was very clear about the Su Family's background. If one gained the Su Family's recognition, forget just the orphanage—this would ensure Ye Qing's rise in other areas in the future too!

"Ye Qing, it seems issue is truly not a problem anymore!" Liu Changping patted Ye Qing's shoulder, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Kid, you're really lucky. Since when did you connect with the Su Family?"

How could Ye Qing have imagined that the girl he casually rescued in Xishan City turned out to have such an identity and background?

"Uncle Liu, you… you're really sure about this?" Ye Qing still found it hard to believe and said, "But you've never heard of either of their names!"

"What does that matter? They're not from Eastern Province anyway, and besides, they're juniors. How could I remember so many names?" Liu Changping said. "But one thing is very certain. If that Su Nuoyan is really Governor Chang's niece, then there's no mistake about this. Governor Chang's wife happens to be from the Sujia of Capital City, and among the Sujia, one person has recently been promoted to a vice-national-level leader. Moreover, only such a prominent figure could overturn Eastern Province's decision. So, this must be right!"

At this moment, Ye Qing wasn't sure whether he was more astonished or thrilled. He had never expected Su Nuoyan to have such a background. No wonder when she interviewed him last time, Su Nuoyan explicitly assured him that there would be no issues with the orphanage matter—she had clearly been confident from the start. And the news coverage about the orphanage? That must have been orchestrated by Su Nuoyan too. After all, her uncle-in-law was none other than the number two figure in Eastern Province!

"There's no doubt about it!" Liu Changping patted Ye Qing's shoulder and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Since the Capital has personally intervened, Eastern Province will certainly cooperate without any roadblocks. What you must focus on now is to immediately return to Shenchuan City, spruce up the orphanage, and make sure it leaves a good impression when the inspection team from the Capital arrives!"

Ye Qing nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle Liu, I'll head back now."

"Alright, go quickly!" Liu Changping paused and added, "Oh, by the way, the issue with Huang Boxiong is over. Uncle Zhou and I will handle the Huang Family's matters; you don't need to concern yourself with it. But don't provoke the Huang Family people again!"

"Of course!" Ye Qing replied with a nod. After orchestrating Huang Boxiong's demise by borrowing another's hand, the resentment in his heart had mostly dissipated. Naturally, he wouldn't trouble the Huang Family anymore.

After saying goodbye to Liu Changping, Ye Qing hurried to the train station. Luckily, the train hadn't departed yet, and he caught it just in time to rush back to Shenchuan City. This trip to Dongzhou not only resolved the Huang Boxiong matter and vented his anger but, most importantly, also brought back some great news. He had thought there was no hope left for the orphanage, yet unexpectedly, a turning point emerged here. Not only could the orphanage continue to be built, but it would also receive support from the Capital—a dream Ye Qing never dared to imagine before.

Meanwhile, in another part of Dongzhou, Huang Jianbin and Huang Jianan sat together. Also in the room were several other relatives of the Huang Family, their expressions grim.

After all, Huang Boxiong had been blown to pieces—he was one of the Huang Family members. Not only was Huang Boxiong dead, but more critically, this incident had utterly disgraced the Huang Family.

"Those mercenaries are outrageous! I heard they've already carried out an explosion and several attacks in Shenchuan City. This time, they caused another bombing in Dongzhou and killed Boxiong. Absolutely unforgivable!" A man said angrily, "I think we should pressure the police to catch those mercenaries quickly and avenge Boxiong!"

This man was Huang Boxiong's third uncle, Huang Jianxin. Although his position wasn't low, he was far inferior to Huang Jianbin and Huang Jianan in terms of influence.

"What good is killing those mercenaries?" Huang Jianan said furiously, "I think this whole thing was orchestrated by that Ye guy. Only by killing Ye Qing can we truly avenge Boxiong!"

"Second Brother, how… how could this be Ye Qing's doing?" A woman next to him asked. "I've reviewed all the surveillance footage and questioned many people. From all the information, Ye Qing has nothing to do with this. The main problem was Boxiong—why did he have to provoke Ye Qing in the first place? Second Brother, you've spoiled Boxiong too much, making him reckless. Well, now he's paid the price, hasn't he?"

"How dare you talk like that!" Huang Jianan slammed the table in fury and said, "Boxiong is dead, and you're saying such things? You're his aunt. Don't you want to avenge him?"

"Second Brother, I'm just stating the truth," the woman said calmly. "Don't think I don't know about the underhanded moves you pulled in the standing committee. Frankly, I can't understand why you all went after Ye Qing in the first place. He's just trying to make some money in Shenchuan City and wanted to help run an orphanage. How's that wrong? If you didn't want to support him, fine, but why hold him down? You're not just harming Ye Qing; you're also harming those poor, homeless children. It's sinful!"

"Say that again!" Huang Jianan suddenly stood up, pointing at her in rage. "Huang Ping, say that again if you're bold enough!"

"Jianan!" Huang Jianbin, who had been silent, spoke firmly, "What are you doing? Are you planning to hit your own family?"

Not daring to disobey Huang Jianbin, Huang Jianan quickly sat down and muttered, "Big Brother, Boxiong is dead, and look at what she's saying!"

Huang Jianbin glanced at Huang Ping and said, "Sister, I know you're kind-hearted. But in any matter, right and wrong have to be distinguished. The orphanage issue wasn't about undermining him. It's just that I didn't think he was qualified to take care of those children. Do you know what background Ye Qing has? Do you know where his money comes from? Do you want to let an organization with ties to crime operate an orphanage for kids? Isn't that like sending lambs into a tiger's den?"

"Big Brother, spare me your lecture. We all know what's really going on," Huang Ping said bluntly. "So what if his money isn't clean? How many wealthy people in Eastern Province have clean money? What, now dirty money can't be used for good causes? Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's never too late for a prodigal to turn over a new leaf'? So, because he's had a shady past, does that mean he can't do good deeds?"

Hearing Huang Ping's infuriated words, her husband quickly whispered, "Xiaoping, watch your tone when speaking to Big Brother."

"That's just how I talk. Big Brother, if you don't like what I'm saying, I'll take my leave now!" Huang Ping stood up, gave everyone in the room a cold glare, and said, "Father always told us when he was alive: 'Good begets good, evil begets evil.' If you feel one instance of retribution isn't enough, go ahead and test the waters again. But I still want my children to live healthy lives. So, don't involve me in your dirty deeds!"

With that, Huang Ping turned and stormed out. The room burst into commotion, and her husband hesitated for a moment before awkwardly excusing himself and following after her.

"Big Brother, did you see her attitude?" Huang Jianan fumed. "How can she talk to us like that? Has she forgotten how we, her brothers, have supported her all these years? What nonsense! Boxiong is dead, and she's still taking the other side's part—is she even family?"

Huang Jianbin remained silent, pondering Huang Ping's words. Good begets good; evil begets evil. Their father had said this countless times when he was alive. But this time, was it really their turn to face retribution?

Seeing Huang Jianbin say nothing, Huang Jianan became anxious and said, "Big Brother, you… you have to stand up for Boxiong!"

Huang Jianbin gave Huang Jianan a look, stayed silent for a long while, then let out a slow sigh. "Jianan, let's leave it at that for now. If evidence surfaces, we can convict Ye Qing. But without proof, we can't just pin guilty charges on him."

"Big Brother, how… how can you say that?" Huang Jianan exclaimed. "He's definitely the one behind this; he just got rid of all the evidence. We know it in our hearts. So what? Just because we can't find proof, we let it go? Big Brother, Boxiong was your own nephew! Don't you want to avenge him?"
