Chapter 446

Chapter 446

Seeing that Wang Qinghe had already followed Wang Qingfu far away, Yu Cheng got his bicycle back from the back alley of the cannery and prepared to ride off to report the incident.

He was dying to know what was really going on.

But Wang Qinghe never really opened up to him, so he could only wait until the matter was over to find out!

After walking quite a distance, Wang Qingfu was still uneasy about what Wang Qinghe had said earlier. He suddenly stopped, on high alert, and scanned the area.

Seeing that there was indeed no one around, he nervously confirmed with Wang Qinghe again: "Were you really just checking if I was lying earlier?"

"Otherwise?" Wang Qinghe retorted.

Wang Qingfu couldn’t put it into words, but he was scared.

Yesterday, he’d been so caught up in his excitement that he almost forgot—was Wang Qinghe really the type to believe whatever was said?

Was he really that gullible?

Seeing that Wang Qingfu wasn’t moving, Wang Qinghe looked around. This wasn’t the right spot for anything, so it was better to keep walking.

"What are you so suspicious about? Or have you been up to something behind my back? You look really jumpy, Wang Laoer. What's got you so spooked?" Wang Qinghe gave Wang Qingfu a cold, penetrating stare, which almost scared him out of his wits.

Wang Qingfu sucked in a sharp breath.

His heart was racing, but he tried to keep his cool: "What am I afraid of? I haven’t done anything. You’re the one who asked for this. If you don’t want to go, if you don’t trust me, then just turn back.

If you go back, the evidence will be gone."

Wang Qingfu spoke quickly, trying hard to hide his nervousness.

Wang Qinghe went along with his lousy act, giving a reluctant nod: "Fine, I believe you. Let’s get a move on, I’ve got work this afternoon."

Still thinking about work?

Once they went out this time, Wang Qinghe wouldn’t be coming back.

Wang Qingfu sneered inwardly.

He shot him a look, snorted, and kept walking.

Behind him, Wang Qinghe trailed along at a leisurely pace, waiting as the surroundings grew more desolate. Then, Wang Qinghe came to a halt.

Wang Qingfu had walked quite a distance ahead. When he turned back, he found Wang Qinghe still standing in the same spot.

They were just about ten minutes from the spot. What was he doing now?

Wang Qingfu’s brows knitted like an old man’s, and he stormed back to confront him, demanding: "Why’d you stop? Weren’t you in a rush? What are you stalling for?"

Wang Qinghe just stared at him, silent.

His stare made Wang Qingfu squirm: "What... what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just checking out a moron," Wang Qinghe said, sitting down on a stone bench by the roadside.

"You’re calling me a moron? What do you mean? Don’t you care about the evidence anymore? Let me tell you, if I get angry..." Wang Qingfu began to threaten again.

"I don’t care if you’re mad or not. As for the evidence, I think it’ll be there even if we don’t go," Wang Qinghe continued his sentence.

Wang Qingfu's face turned pale, and he turned to run.

But it was already too late to run, as Wang Qinghe quickly grabbed him.

"Let me go! I'm telling you, if you still want the evidence, you better let me go now!" Wang Qingfu shouted, terrified.

He felt like slapping himself. How could he have forgotten?

Walking this way with Wang Qinghe, he was putting himself in danger too!

Wang Qinghe, hearing his feeble threat, didn't even bother to show any emotion.

"Let you go, and then what happens? Follow you to the place you mentioned, and then get ambushed by the people you've prepared, making me disappear?" Wang Qinghe retorted.

Wang Qingfu was stunned. How could he know!

"Brother, are you getting the wrong idea?"

His voice trembled.

"Misunderstanding? What about Wang Qingqi? He's probably already waiting to ambush me, right? How many people did you prepare?" Wang Qinghe looked at the disheveled Wang Qingfu, thinking how ruthless the members of Old Wang’s family were, each more vicious than the last.

He knew everything! Wang Qingfu's heart wailed.

At the same time, he couldn't understand how Wang Qinghe knew!

Seeing him getting more and more scared, Wang Qinghe smiled: "Speaking of which, you really jogged my memory. If it weren't for your little scheme, I would have forgotten that I could make you disappear.

Oh no, I should have made you disappear on the way you were luring me out.

If you vanished on the way, and I just went back to work at the factory, would that fly?

Would they notice?

Probably not, after all, you told the factory you were sick and needed to see a doctor.

Wang Qingfu, if I recall correctly, we have a score to settle.

Do you think I should settle the score now?"

He looked at Wang Qingfu, who was absolutely terrified.

Wang Qingfu, completely shattered by Wang Qinghe's offhand remarks, was on the brink of passing out.

He immediately broke down: "No, you, you can't make me vanish. I hold no grudge against you! It was our parents' idea to treat you badly at home. After you separated from the family, it wasn't just me who plotted against you.

I hold no grudge against you.

Besides, it was Fifth Brother's Wife who wanted to push your wife into the water. It was our mom who wanted to snatch your child.

You can't do anything to me; we really have no beef."

"Sounds reasonable, but unfortunately, I'm not feeling reasonable today. Wang Qingfu, didn't you also benefit from all this?" Wang Qinghe sneered.

Wang Qingfu, as usual, had no sense of responsibility, but it was also because of his lack of responsibility.

That's why he was so easy to manipulate.

Wang Qingfu was scared out of his wits. With Wang Qinghe's strength, making him vanish would take no time at all.

Sure, a good life is important, but so is staying alive.

"Bro, what do you really want from me? Please, I’m begging you, just spare my life!" Wang Qingfu wailed.

"Evidence, and tell me truthfully, what's the situation over there now?" Wang Qinghe, seeing that Wang Qingfu was sufficiently scared, stated his demands.

Wang Qingfu, trembling, didn’t hesitate a second longer. "Dad—dad already gave me the evidence. Here, take it, I’ll give it to you!"

Tears streaming down his face, he pulled out the evidence from his inner pocket—a crumpled, worn-out piece of paper.

It had a sketch of He Youde as a young man, along with an old item.

A plain, unremarkable silver lock, with He Quan's name and birth date engraved inside. Likely because even they had forgotten about it, and when He Youde stole the family's belongings, he was in too much of a rush to check properly.

"Dad said this thing is definitely from their family. Dad handed it to me about a month back. He said we’d crossed the old He family, and if we ever made it to the city, we’d have to watch out for them.

If they mess with me or Old Fifth and his wife, then we’d use this to hold it over their heads.

I’ve been keeping it safe, just in case something went down. Old Fifth and his wife would have no choice but to follow my lead."

Wang Qingfu was sobbing so hard he could barely catch his breath, shivering and crying in the freezing cold.

He didn’t dare say another word, terrified of setting Wang Qinghe off.
