Chapter 950: Apology
He was a businessman and certainly knew the enormous amount of money required to spontaneously acquire Bailong Real Estate. It could only be people with deep pockets who could afford such a move; ordinary people couldn’t pull off something like that. They must be finance super-experts or something, else it wouldn’t be possible.
Realizing this, Bai Wanli knew that his son was right. Now, the only option was to talk it over directly with the other party. Having made sense of everything, Bai Wanli continued to angrily scold Bai Daqi over the phone, before clarifying that he would rush there as quickly as he could. He hoped to prevent the acquisition, which was the only thing that could be done in the situation. If he could really beg for forgiveness from the other party, and if they agreed to leave Bailong Real Estate alone, Bai Wanli was willing to do whatever it took.
He immediately asked his son where he was because he planned to quickly bring people with him to negotiate. At the same time, he prayed in his heart, hoping that things hadn’t gotten to the worst stage yet. He did not want any more problems to arise and did not want Bailong Real Estate to be completely beyond saving, nor did he want to think about bankruptcy...
"Dad, I’m at Villa No. 47 now. Hurry up and bring Zhang Tong here. You need to be quick, otherwise, if they leave, it’ll be terrible!" Upon hearing his father’s words, Bai Daqi quickly informed his father of his location, hoping that his father would bring Zhang Tong as fast as possible. He couldn’t think about anything else now; the situation had already spiraled beyond his control. All he could hope for was for his father to resolve everything.
Upon hearing the location from his son, Bai Wanli said nothing, immediately hung up the phone, and, taking Zhang Tong, an AA-level expert hired by the family, he hurried to Villa No. 47. He wanted to see who had acquired Bailong Real Estate and make one last effort to salvage the situation. Even if it meant breaking his son’s legs, as long as Bailong Real Estate was saved, Bai Wanli would spare no effort!
Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Bai Daqi speechlessly put his phone back into his pocket and looked at Liu Zhentian, who was still slapping himself. Not expecting to be alarmed, Bai Daqi was shocked by the sight. Liu Zhentian’s face had swollen like a steamed bun from the slapping, which only intensified Bai Daqi’s fears. He wondered what kind of person Qian Duoduo was to terrify Liu Zhentian into this state, thinking that if his father didn’t arrive soon, his own fate was obvious.
It was then that Qian Duoduo, standing at the forefront, spoke up.
"Today’s matter is over. You’re not involved anymore. Get lost, and don’t let me see you mingling with the Bai Family again."
Seeing that Liu Zhentian had truly been slapping himself hard and that it had had the desired effect, Qian Duoduo coldly spoke, essentially forgiving Liu Zhentian and deciding not to pursue his words and actions further. However, seeing Bai Daqi still standing there, her anger flared up even more. How was it that Bai Daqi still hadn’t moved? Did he have no brains or what? Liu Zhentian had already demonstrated compliance, yet Bai Daqi just stood there, completely disregarding her authority!
Little did Qian Duoduo know, Bai Daqi didn’t understand any of this at all. He was particularly pain-averse—even a small bump would make him howl in pain. How could he possibly fathom handling this situation by himself, let alone slapping his own face?
"Thank... thank you, Gang Leader Qian, I... I’ll get out right now... right now with my men."
Liu Zhentian was feeling dismal, already looking like this yet anxiously wondering why Qian Duoduo hadn’t yet spoken. His worries grew stronger for fear that Qian Duoduo wouldn’t let him off. He never expected that Qian Duoduo would really speak up to forgive him, which instantly filled Liu Zhentian with relief, grateful for having been forgiven and having dodged this ordeal.
Without wasting a moment, he thanked Qian Duoduo, not daring to say more, turned his head, waved his hand, and along with his underlings who were already dripping with cold sweat, they quietly fled the scene. They didn’t want to stay there any longer; one could imagine Qian Duoduo dealing with Bai Daqi next. If Bai Daqi messed up and dragged them into it, they wouldn’t be able to escape. Thinking of this made them even more terrified, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
Seeing Liu Zhentian and his men disappear, Qian Duoduo approached Bai Daqi again, her expression as cold as ice. She now contemplated how to deal with Bai Daqi—whether to break his left leg or Bai Dalong’s right leg...
"What... what are you going to do? Don’t... don’t hit me, please don’t hit me..."
Seeing Liu Zhentian and his people running off, Bai Dalong panicked instantly. Seeing Qian Duoduo’s cold approach, his fear escalated, his entire body trembling as if the temperature around him had sharply dropped. Spotting Qian Duoduo’s gaze fixed on his legs sent chills down his spine, and he could no longer control the fear in his heart. He cried out uncontrollably, pleading with Qian Duoduo not to hurt him.
While screaming, he started retreating backward and stumbled over a rock, but ignoring the pain, he got up and continued moving backward. He definitely didn’t want Qian Duoduo to hit him. He knew well enough of Qian Duoduo’s formidable skills, not being her match at all. If Qian Duoduo really intended to hit him, there was no escape. But even knowing that evasion was futile, Bai Dalong’s fear overcame all else; he would dodge as long as he could...
"Just a useless guy."
"Yeah, Sister Duoduo hasn’t even made a move yet, and he’s already scared like this."
"This guy is really something else."
"Sister Duoduo, really teach this pervert a lesson!"
The women watched Bai Daqi in such a sorry state, and their disdain for him grew even more. Qian Duoduo hadn’t even started, and Bai Daqi was already scared to this degree. If Qian Duoduo really made a move, she might scare him to death. To think he still dared to bully men and domineer women, when were they going to deal with him if not now?
Contemptuous glances fell on Bai Daqi, and as they recalled what he had said to them before, they grew even more furious. They all openly expressed their opinions, urging Qian Duoduo to seek revenge for them and to properly teach Bai Daqi, who was utterly unaware of his own ignorance and limits, a lesson.
"Do you want to keep your left leg or your right leg?" Having heard her friends’ comments, Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but smile slightly, though her face remained cold. She coldly asked Bai Daqi, fully aware of what her friends were thinking. Even she herself felt a strong urge to punish Bai Daqi.
"No! No... I beg you, don’t hit me, don’t break my legs... I can give you a lot of money, please don’t break my legs, I beg you..."
Hearing Qian Duoduo’s words, Bai Daqi’s legs went weak and he collapsed under the fear, realizing what Qian Duoduo intended to do to him—she was going to break his legs. How could this be acceptable? If Qian Duoduo broke his legs, the suffering would be immense. He absolutely didn’t want to endure such pain. With this thought, cold sweat broke out on Bai Daqi, and he knelt down, tearfully begging Qian Duoduo, imploring her in every way not to break his legs.
Qian Duoduo looked at Bai Daqi as if she hadn’t heard his pleas at all, and continued walking slowly towards him, scaring him so much that he didn’t know what to do. Just as Qian Duoduo was about to turn thoughts into action, a group of people appeared in the distance. Qian Duoduo knew who was coming—it was Bai Daqi’s family, summoned by the phone call he had made. This was fine by her; she would see what Bai Daqi’s family had to say. If they were foolish as well, then she would deal with them too.
With this thought, Qian Duoduo stood with her hands behind her back, waiting for the group from across to approach, while the women behind her also saw the group coming. They understood that Bai Daqi’s reinforcements had arrived, but they did not believe anyone could save him now. So, they remained silent, curious about who exactly was coming.
Previously furious beyond measure, Bai Wanli rushed over with his men, hoping to negotiate and persuade the opposition to give up acquiring Bailong Real Estate. He pondered how to convince them, but nothing had prepared him for the sight of his son kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, which infuriated him. Although his son was a disgrace and a wastrel, he was still his son. The sight of him groveling like this was utterly humiliating.
Surging forward a few steps, Bai Wanli reached his son and, unable to hold back his anger, kicked Bai Daqi without a word. He was genuinely incensed. His son was a wastrel and now lacked even the spine to stand up to a woman, completely disgracing the Bai Family. How could he not be angry?
"Bang!"
Bai Daqi was knocked down by Bai Wanli’s kick, still unclear about what was happening. Partly confused and in pain, he lamented internally about the day’s events—why was everyone keen on kicking him? He had been kicked three times in just a short while. What the hell was going on?
As he attempted to get up to see who had kicked him, and upon seeing his father’s furious face, he realized it was his father who had kicked him, which made him too afraid to say another word. He quickly endured the pain and got up from the ground to stand behind his father, not daring to speak a word, fearing that he might provoke his father further. If his father hit him again, that would be disastrous.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Bai Wanli. This unworthy son of mine has many faults and has angered you, for which I am here to apologize first. I must not have guided him properly, causing you all such distress." Seeing his son standing beside him, Bai Wanli did not bother with him but instead took a step forward, walked up to Qian Duoduo, and bowed deeply as he spoke his apology.
