Chapter 636 The Law Is The Law
Ouyang Duo was stunned speechless as he stared at Nan Chen. He still couldn’t believe this was real.
He thought he had controlled everything, yet little did he expect there to be a spy from the Nan family next to him. Moreover, like an idiot, he even let He Lin be in charge of monitoring everything related to the Nan family. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for them to conspire against me?
“You’re despicable! How could you plant a spy beside me?” “No. Before this, my grandpa never ordered He Lin to do anything for the Nan family. My grandpa hoped he would never need He Lin’s services ever in his entire life so that everyone could keep working together.
As long as my grandpa had other methods to deal with your little tricks, he wouldn’t use He Lin. However, you wanted to destroy the Nan family. My grandpa had no choice but to use He Lin and deal a devastating blow to you. You’re the despicable one because you even went after children! You’re the trash!”
Ouyang Duo went silent. He had lost everything. Moreover, there was something that he was most frustrated about—a nagging thought he would lose right from the start.
If nothing else, He Lin, who was next to him, was a ticking time bomb that Nan Zhengde could make explode on a whim.
Besides, there was also this enigmatic man in front of him, Nan Chen. People said he had died in a fire, but here he was, alive and well, in Flower City.
Nan Chen had even disguised as Nan Xing and managed to make him confess that he, Ouyang Duo, was the culprit behind the car crash and kidnappings.
“How did you escape from that island? Didn’t you die in the fire?” Ouyang Duo was still baffled.
“I escaped from that island a long time ago. As for the fire, I requested my grandpa to stage it so you would believe I was dead. Anyway, I have no intention of telling you the details. So, why did you call me here? What do you want to tell me?” Nan Chen questioned.
“I want you to spare me.” Ouyang Duo lowered his head.
This is such a rare sight. Ouyang Duo actually lowered his head!
Despite that, Nan Chen wasn’t surprised by his request. He had somewhat guessed it before he came here.
“You wanted to snatch our family’s company, and you hurt my daughter. And now you want me to spare you?” Nan Chen said, his voice as cold as ice.
“I’ll give you my profits!” Ouyang Duo lifted his head. “I can transfer all my real-estate projects in Vietnam to you for free! And as for my construction projects in Europe, I’ll give them all to you! I don’t want them anymore. I promise never to go against the Nan family ever again. I’ll also leave Flower City and vow never to step foot in this place again. What do you think?” he anxiously suggested.
“No.” Nan Chen’s answer was simple and straightforward.
“Why? I’ve apologized and promised to pay the price! Why can’t you just let me off?” Ouyang Duo exclaimed indignantly.
“I understand it’s in your nature to pursue gains as a businessman, so I can overlook that. However, you shouldn’t have hurt my family and even gone after my daughter! This is something I can’t forgive. Those who harm my family will be punished! You’re going to jail, Ouyang Duo. Not all transgressions can be forgiven!”
After that, Nan Chen turned and left.
“Come back here! Name your terms! I’ll agree to anything you want!” Ouyang Duo shouted.
Turning around to look at him, Nan Chen replied, “I will get the things I want with my own hands. I don’t need you to give it to me. I can get them myself.”
“What do you mean?”
“The shares of Sunshine Corporation’s listed companies overseas have fallen quite a lot recently, right? Did your subordinates report to you that someone was short-selling your stocks? This was what you would usually do. You have sniped Nanshi Corporation’s stock prices more than once, and I did the same this time. I’ll make sure the whole world knows you are a convict, and when the stock market opens, your stock price will plunge further and further.”
He paused for his words to sink in before continuing, “As for me? Money will keep flowing into my coffers, and I can’t stop it if I want to. Of course, my grandpa also said that I should stop while I am ahead, so I won’t bring your company, Sunshine Corporation, down. I’m not you. I only want to improve myself, not kill off my competitors. When there is competition, there will be improvements. This is a piece of advice my grandpa gave me. He had told you, but you couldn’t understand what he meant. Serves you right. You can never make a comeback in this lifetime. There’s no use begging me.”
With that, Nan Chen strode away.
“Nan Chen! Come back here!” Ouyang Duo cried out in despair.
When Nan Chen returned to Commoner Residence in his MPV, the sky was already dark.
It was the beginning of February and the start of spring, but the weather was still cold as if it was still winter.
At the entrance of Commoner Residence, a man was pacing in circles. When he saw Nan Chen’s car, he quickly jumped in front of it.
The driver immediately slammed the brakes. Luckily for him, the man wasn’t hit.
“Nan Chen…”
The bodyguards escorted the scammer-like man to the front of the car. Surprisingly, it was Ouyang Qi.
He wore a thin suit, his nose red from the cold, and his lips were purple.
Initially, he wanted to meet Nan Zhengde, but the older man refused to see him.
He kept pacing back and forth outside Commoner Residence until he saw Nan Chen’s car. Then, without much thought, he pounced on the car.
Nan Chen knew why he was there. He never liked Ouyang Qi, a rich playboy.
The main reason for his dislike was that Ouyang Duo was Ouyang Qi’s father.
“Nan Chen, I know my father has wronged your family. I’m sorry! Please spare him! I beg you!” Ouyang Qi spoke, his voice quavering.
His trembling wasn’t due to fear but the sheer coldness of the weather.
“Let’s talk inside,” Nan Chen said.
Inside Commoner Residence, Nan Chen ordered someone to get Ouyang Qi a jacket and pour him a glass of warm water to warm him up.
“I have no idea what my father did. I’m not trying to shift the blame, but I want to tell you I really know nothing about it. I knew he had bad intentions toward the Nan family, and he even told me to do something bad to the Nan family, but I didn’t. I never thought he would go that far. I’m sorry. Could you let my father off? I beg you, please…”
Ouyang Qi appeared highly anxious and seemed to be in a bad shape.
Nan Chen had never liked Ouyang Qi. Not only was he frivolous, but he also had designs on Ning Ran.
“If I wanted to harm your father and kill your daughter, but I failed and got caught, will you let me off if Nan Xing begs you to let me off?” Nan Chen threw the question back at him.
“I won’t,” Ouyang Qi mumbled.
At that, Nan Chen fell silent. There you have it. Your answer.
“I know you’re not involved, so I won’t be harsh with you. Also, I won’t push your family to the corner. Just go back and take care of your mother and manage your company well. If you think of me as an enemy, you’re welcome to take revenge on me. However, I can’t let your father off. It’s impossible. From a personal perspective, he almost killed my daughter. I will not forgive those who harm my daughter. From a professional perspective, he tried to take my company from me, and he was being unscrupulous about it too. Honestly, it wasn’t at the level of being in a proper business competition anymore. He actually broke the law. Those who commit a crime must be punished by the law. Begging me is useless. The law is the law. I can’t do anything about that.”
Ouyang Qi was utterly dejected. “Can’t you try? There has to be a way! If you let my father and sister off, I’ll do anything!”
“Has Ouyang Qing been arrested?”
“Yes, she was arrested alongside my mother. Please, please let them off.”
