Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 574 You're better than Qin Tian because you have a good father!

Qin Tian, ​​far away in Yunnan, sat by the roadside with lingering fear, holding a towel to his forehead. There were still traces of blood on the towel, and his face was covered in bruises, making him look extremely disheveled.

His car was not far away, completely wrecked. The reason was simple: the other party rear-ended him, making it entirely their fault. He had just gotten into the car and hadn't even fastened his seatbelt when a medium-sized truck crashed into him. He and the car were thrown a considerable distance, experiencing various impacts along the way. All the car's airbags deployed, and he even suffered a cut to his head from hitting the steering wheel. He sustained some injuries, but thankfully, he survived.

Fortunately, his car was of good quality; if it had been a regular, flimsy car, he would probably be meeting his great-grandmother by now.

After the other driver got out of the car, he looked at him and then immediately called 120 (emergency services) and the traffic police. He also called the insurance company. Throughout the whole process, he didn't communicate with him at all and looked unusually indifferent, which made Qin Qi furious.

So while waiting for the ambulance, he called his father to explain his situation.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong abruptly looked up, staring intently at Liu Ruyan. But all he saw was a slight smile on Liu Ruyan's lips, her expression seemingly saying, "That's right, how was my performance?"

Qin Zhenhong asked, his voice trembling slightly, "Son, how are you? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, Dad. Just some minor injuries. Wait, oops, I knocked out a tooth. Damn it, that idiot driver, I'm going to get him! Dad, help me find someone, I'll make him pay!"

Qin Tian shouted on the other end of the phone, especially at the driver who hit him; his indifferent behavior made him feel extremely insulted.

He hit someone and now he thinks he's in the right? Does he really think he's invincible just because he has insurance? He's been feeling really down lately, so he came here to clear his head, but then this happened. Naturally, he couldn't take it anymore.

Hearing that his son was alright, Qin Zhenhong felt much relieved. He was about to say a few words of comfort, but then he glanced at Liu Ruyan, who was watching him from the doorway, and said coldly, "Shut up. Call your mother later and wait quietly at the hospital. I'll talk to you later. Don't cause any trouble, understand?"

After saying that, Qin Zhenhong hung up the phone and looked at Liu Ruyan through gritted teeth, saying, "You did this?"

"What do you mean, 'I did'? What did I do? Did your young master get hit by a car? That would be great! I wonder if he's dead or not. If he is, Mr. Qin, please let me know so I can go to pay my respects and give you a 200 yuan red envelope as a token of my appreciation," Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Although he denied it verbally, the meaning behind his words was crystal clear: no matter what I did, you can't take what I said as evidence.

This is Qin Zhenhong's territory. Who knows if there are any recording or surveillance devices here? If he stupidly admits it, wouldn't that be evidence?
Savvy people know the saying "trouble comes from the mouth," so they avoid saying anything that might give them a handle to use against them.

Qin Zhenhong was the same; when Liu Ruyan asked him, he denied it because he was afraid that she might have a recording device on her.

With technology so advanced these days, hidden cameras are commonplace, so it's absolutely impossible for someone to admit to something like that.

That's right, this was arranged by Liu Ruyan. As early as yesterday morning, she arranged for people to investigate Qin Tian's whereabouts and then assigned people to do the work.

Since the other party is resorting to such underhanded tactics, she's not unwilling to play along.

Although society seems very harmonious now, and the so-called organized crime has long been eradicated, there are still people willing to do things if they are really willing to spend money.

Just like those who surrounded Lin Mo, Qin Zhenhong could remain uninvolved. Similarly, Liu Ruyan could use the same methods to retaliate, and she would be even more ruthless than her opponent from the start.

After all, there's always a chance of an accident if a car accident happens. If an accident does happen, it's just that Qin Tian is unlucky.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong pointed at Liu Ruyan: "You..."

"What do you mean 'you'? You should be glad that the place he's in is inaccessible to large trucks with four front and eight rear sections, otherwise it's questionable whether he'd even be able to call you now."

I heard that my boyfriend's incident might have been caused by an overseas criminal gang, and it could be the same on your end. If all else fails, Mr. Qin can investigate it himself.

Since Mr. Qin is not following the rules, let's see who can't take it first. You, your wife, and your mother in the villa back home should all be careful, lest you get hit by a car one day. After all, cars are insured now, aren't they?" After saying that, Liu Ruyan turned and left, leaving only her back view.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong's eyes immediately turned red, and he couldn't help but step forward: "You fucking threaten me, I..."

But before he could finish speaking, Chen Hui, accompanied by two security personnel, stopped him.

"Mr. Qin, my boss asked me to pass on a message to you: if you do something wrong, don't blame others for doing something wrong. This is a warning, and it's a one-time thing. There will be no next time. Within the rules, everyone should rely on their own abilities. If you cross the line, you'll be eating dirt for the rest of your life, and dirt will eat you once."

Mr. Qin, please consider this carefully. We'll take our leave now!

After saying that, Chen Hui turned and left with two security guards. The threat in his words was much more direct and weighty than what Liu Ruyan had said for so long, which immediately made Qin Zhenhong's eyes clear up a lot.

He was a successful man, and his family business had a certain influence in Jiangning City. But it was precisely because of this that he knew who Liu Zhengyuan really was.

Although he is now a legitimate entrepreneur, how many of those who made it in that era were easy to get along with?

Even Miss Yuan knew that Liu Zhengyuan had run a mine in the beginning, so naturally he knew as well.

In the early years, mines always had people watching over them. To put it bluntly, all sorts of people came from different walks of life. Every place has its own rules, and without some tricks up your sleeve, a mine can't stay in business.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Simply put, what he can do, Liu Zhengyuan can also do; what he can't do, others can still do.

Not to mention that he's already struggling to take care of himself, even before, if he were to face off against Liu Zhengyuan, he would lose more often than he would win, especially in this area outside the rules.

Chen Hui's words were clear: he was telling him to behave himself. This matter was not only Liu Ruyan's idea, but also Liu Zhengyuan's. He had already broken the rules once, and his son's car accident was a warning.

It appears that Liu Ruyan arranged it, but in reality, Liu Zhengyuan had already received the news, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so quickly.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhenhong clenched his fist, but after a long while, he could only helplessly let it go.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan and the others got into the car without saying a word. Chen Hui, sitting in the passenger seat, said to the driver, "Drive! Dongcheng District, Minghu Hotel!"

"Ok!"

Soon, the group arrived at Minghu Hotel in Dongcheng District! This hotel is close to Jiangning Ancient City and is one of Huang Dayong's family's properties in Jiangning.

It wasn't far from Lin Mo's restaurant, just two streets and a river in between. Since this area is a famous tourist attraction in Jiangning, it receives quite a few tourists every year, so business is pretty good.

It was precisely because of its proximity that Huang Hao noticed Lin Mo's restaurant.

However, the Minghu Hotel was still completely dark at this time, and many of the staff had taken the day off, but there were quite a few electricians coming and going.

The hotel has had its power restored several times during this period, but the restorations have been short-lived. The electricians involved in the repairs are going crazy, unable to find the cause of the problem.

During this period, all the parts that could be replaced have been replaced, and now even the wiring is being checked bit by bit.

At that moment, in the teahouse next to the hotel, Huang Dayong was drinking tea with a nervous expression.

"Mr. Huang, the person has arrived!"

Just then, a staff member walked over and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Huang Dayong quickly looked at his son beside him and said, "Get up quickly and come with me to greet them!"

After being glared at by his father, Huang Hao reluctantly got up, but he knew that the situation was beyond his control.

When Liu Ruyan got out of the car, she saw Huang Dayong and his son standing at the entrance of the teahouse to greet her.

“Miss Liu, welcome, welcome. What happened before was indeed my son’s fault. We didn’t know he was Miss Liu’s lover. This is my son. You can hit or scold him as you please. If Miss Liu is not satisfied, just say the word. Whatever your conditions are, I will do them without hesitation.”

After Huang Dayong finished speaking, he looked at his son, who was in a daze, and slapped him on the back of the head: "What are you looking at? Speak!"

Huang Hao, who had been blinded by Liu Ruyan's appearance, suddenly came to his senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Miss Liu, I'm so sorry. I was out of my mind. I apologize!"

As a rich second-generation, although Liu Ruyan was very beautiful, he was not unfamiliar with women.

A beauty of Liu Ruyan's caliber is rare, but there are plenty of those who are slightly less attractive. They're a dime a dozen in the club, so it won't embarrass him. He was just stunned because he didn't expect the Liu family's daughter to have such a beautiful appearance, and he was simply amazed by her.

Seeing the behavior of the father and son, Liu Ruyan was completely baffled. She had come with a fierce attitude, but she did not expect the other party to be so humble. It is said that one cannot hit a smiling face, and there is indeed some truth to that.

"Well, it's cold outside. Would you please come in for a cup of tea, Miss Liu? We can discuss your needs later," Huang Dayong said.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan also felt a bit bored and said bluntly, "Forget about tea. Since that's the case, I'll ask you questions, you answer them, and I'll leave after I'm done, how about that?"

“Miss Liu, please speak,” Huang Dayong said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan didn't mince words: "I recently received news that you and Qin Zhenhong are each going their own way? Also, how did you know Lin Mo is my boyfriend? Mr. Huang, you're very well-informed!"

No one expected that Huang Dayong had such skills. Even Qin Zhenhong didn't know this, so he must be a smart man.

Looking back at the outcome, if this relationship had been known beforehand, Huang Dayong's attitude would be quite understandable.

"To be honest, I was also worried when the hotel lost power. I admit that I did work with Qin Zhenhong to build some connections, but I assure you that all of this was within the rules."

"As for knowing that Brother Lin is Miss Liu's lover, that's something I found out. My son has a friend who knows President Yuan's son, and I overheard it by chance," Huang Dayong explained.

That's right, it was Wang Mingjie. He got involved with Yuan Hua because of this incident. The two had dinner together a few times during that period, and information was occasionally revealed at the dinner table.

“Yuan Hua? No wonder,” Liu Ruyan smiled, then waved her hand and continued, “Alright, since you just said it was within the rules, what about outside the rules? You didn’t participate, so someone must have participated, right?”

"Oh, Miss Liu, please don't make things difficult for me. This is just a baseless accusation. Whether I say it or not, it's still the same thing," Huang Dayong said with a wry smile, his hands clasped together.

These words seemed to say nothing, but everyone present was a smart person; he had already subtly revealed the situation.

He was simply operating within normal means, and he was working with Qin Zhenhong, but what happened a few days ago had nothing to do with his family.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan sneered: "Heh~ that's fine. Without any evidence, Mr. Huang, you'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, Liu Ruyan turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, she stopped and turned back to Huang Hao.

"Liu Xiao." Huang Hao was about to speak, but before he could finish, Liu Ruyan raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

With a 'smack', Huang Hao's head tilted to the side, his face contorting with rage at a visible speed, but the next second, Liu Ruyan's clear, cold voice rang out:

"You're better than Qin Tian because you have a good father!"

After saying that, he got into the car without looking back, leaving the father and son standing at the entrance of the teahouse, unable to come to their senses for a long time.
