Chapter 266 I Also Think It’s a Conspiracy!

 

Qin Ranlong’s shout instantly plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence!

He is my company commander!

When Qin Zhizhang heard these words, he was completely stunned. After a brief moment of contemplation, his face revealed an expression of disbelief!

Not just him, but Qin Fanghua, Qin Bikai, and others were all extremely shocked!

The others in the hall didn’t quite understand this matter and didn’t know what Qin Ranlong’s shout meant!

They looked at each other in confusion. What’s the big deal about a company commander? There were several generals present, so what’s so special about a company commander? Why would it shock the Qin family so much?

Qin Ranlong looked at Qin Zhizhang, his eyes revealing a reminiscent expression, and said: “Grandfather, Su Rui was my recruit company commander. It was he who pulled me out of the mire, it was he who ensured I would no longer be a spoiled young master!”

Knocked down with one move, left four kilometers behind in a five-kilometer cross-country run—Qin Ranlong had just one word for Su Rui—respect!

Although he spoke emotionally, there were still people in the hall who sneered—do you really think you’re no longer a spoiled brat, Qin Ranlong?

Few boys of the same age in the capital hadn’t been beaten by Qin Ranlong, including Jiang Yigang and others. Of course, the White brothers who had caused Qin Ranlong to fall into cesspools twice were a different story.

Qin Ranlong’s words undoubtedly confirmed Su Rui’s identity! This left Qin Zhizhang speechless!

The person he had just vehemently threatened to send to a military tribunal was actually the Qin family’s great benefactor!

Qin Ranlong’s past unruliness had given all the Qin family elders headaches. Logically speaking, as the eldest son and grandson, Qin Ranlong would inevitably inherit the Qin family’s vast business, but he didn’t have the slightest appearance of a family heir, spending his days either idling or fighting and causing trouble. Eventually, when things became unbearable, they sent him to the military.

However, Qin Ranlong couldn’t stay quiet in the military either. Due to his powerful family background, no instructor dared to discipline him, except for Su Rui!

Without Su Rui, Qin Ranlong would still be a hopeless mess today! Without Su Rui, the Qin family wouldn’t have been able to find a suitable heir!

Later, in order to win over Su Rui, the Qin family’s upper echelon mobilized all their connections to investigate his background. The result that shocked them was that all the information behind this name had only two words—classified! And it was a six-star top-level secret!

Qin Zhizhang looked at Su Rui, his face full of disbelief. He knew that Qin Ranlong wouldn’t lie about such matters! This truly put him in a dilemma!

The Qin family’s upper echelon were known to be grateful, or at least they considered themselves to be grateful, but in the current situation, how should they handle it?

The person who had brought a group of special forces soldiers to disrupt his granddaughter’s wedding banquet turned out to be the Qin family’s great benefactor!

Taking in the expressions of his family members, Qin Ranlong threw a smug look at his fourth sister.

Qin Yueran didn’t notice it because her eyes remained fixed on Su Rui. Why was that figure so captivating?

Past events flashed before his eyes, and Qin Zhizhang suddenly remembered something that made his body start to tremble uncontrollably!

Years ago, when the Qin family’s upper echelon was mobilizing all forces to investigate Su Rui, they had received a warning note signed with a brush pen!

In this era, there were few people who had the authority to warn Qin Zhizhang, and that person’s identity was already obvious!

That warning note still lay quietly on Qin Zhizhang’s bookshelf!

Thinking of this, he suddenly instinctively glanced at Su Wuxian!

Seemingly aware of Qin Zhizhang’s movement, Su Wuxian also turned his face with a smile, made eye contact with Qin Zhizhang, and nodded slightly!

This minimal nod undoubtedly confirmed Qin Zhizhang’s thoughts! Su Wuxian had already guessed what he was thinking!

Su Wuxian’s gesture undoubtedly shocked the old Mr. Qin even more!

Su Rui, possessing a top-secret six-star identity, could make that old man personally sign a warning note to protect him—these two short sentences contained an enormous amount of information!

At this moment, Qin Zhizhang suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, a terribly wrong one!

Such a man was undoubtedly a national treasure!

Even after receiving the warning note, he shouldn’t have given up!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhizhang instinctively looked at Ouyang Xinghai, who was still slumped on the ground. He had already begun to weigh which was more important, Su Rui or Ouyang Xinghai!

Little did he know that while Qin Zhizhang was surprised, Su Wuxian’s surprise was no less! He was just very good at concealing it with his usual smile!

“Su Rui, Su Rui, Su Rui…” Su Wuxian was muttering Su Rui’s name, his mind racing.

Su Rui wasn’t too informed about the Qin family’s investigation of him. He could roughly guess the Qin family’s thoughts, but he could never have imagined that behind the entire incident, there was also that warning note signed with a brush pen!

At this point, it wasn’t good for Su Rui to directly break face—although he had already made the Qin family lose face.

“General Qin, I am Qin Ranlong’s brother and also Yueran’s friend. I want to take Yueran away. This has nothing to do with the Qin family’s face, but everything to do with Yueran’s happiness.”

Su Rui looked at Qin Zhizhang, his gaze sincere, his eyes no longer containing the previous cold light.

“It has to do with my happiness.” Qin Yueran’s gaze had been locked on Su Rui from beginning to end, never shifting even slightly. Hearing Su Rui’s words, she once again heard the sound of her heart moving.

My happiness has to do with you.

After realizing Su Rui’s identity, Qin Zhizhang’s words no longer contained the previous hostility, but the displeasure in his heart still existed. He said coldly: “Yueran’s marriage to the Ouyang family was decided years ago. Marriage should follow the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. All this talk of free love and happiness is nonsense in my view!”

Su Rui’s brows also showed signs of displeasure. Why was this old man so stubborn? Couldn’t he be reasoned with?

“Free love might be nonsense in your eyes, but in my view, a huge family with so many strong men placing the family’s fate on a girl’s marriage is even more nonsensical!”

Su Rui stared at Qin Zhizhang, speaking without any courtesy!

Everyone was watching this young man who could still bravely refuse the old General Qin without changing his expression. Some people’s eyes even began to flash with admiration! They seemed to have forgotten how forceful Su Rui had been earlier!

Being confronted like this, Qin Zhizhang became furious: “Nonsense, it’s all nonsense. When did I ever want to place the family’s fate on Yueran’s marriage? The Qin family has its own path, and we don’t need to put the burden on my granddaughter’s shoulders!”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Hearing these words, Su Rui actually started to applaud!

The applause was monotonous, echoing throughout the hall, very jarring, making everyone look at each other in confusion!

“Why are you clapping?” Seeing Su Rui’s defiant appearance, Qin Zhizhang was immediately angered. At this moment, he had forgotten Su Rui’s identity again.

“Old Mr. Qin, you spoke so well, of course I should applaud.” Su Rui said with a cold smile: “If you believe that the Qin family’s future doesn’t need to rely on Yueran, why do you insist on forcing her to marry someone she doesn’t like? If that’s the case, who she marries doesn’t matter. Why not let her marry someone she likes and live a happy and peaceful life?”

When it came to debate, how could Qin Zhizhang be a match for Su Rui? The latter had already led the old General Qin into a dead end in just a few sentences!

“Yes, why should it be this way?” Qin Zhizhang didn’t react for a moment. Su Rui’s words had plunged him into deep thought. Why?

“Can’t figure out the answer?” Su Rui sneered: “That’s because someone has been misleading you! Causing you to never seriously think about this question from beginning to end!”

As he spoke, Su Rui looked at Qin Mufeng who was sitting on the ground! His eyes were full of coldness!

Qin Zhizhang also followed Su Rui’s gaze to look at his son!

Hearing Su Rui speak like this, Qin Mufeng wanted to defend himself but then sheepishly closed his mouth! Because he was afraid Su Rui would beat him again!

Earlier, just being hit by a wooden chair had left him unable to get up until now. If he were to be beaten again, he might truly become disabled on the spot!

However, in Qin Zhizhang’s view, it was completely different!

Qin Mufeng’s silence represented his acknowledgment!

Although Qin Zhizhang was old, he wasn’t confused. Thinking about many things from the beginning, he immediately understood! The reason he allowed Qin Yueran to marry Ouyang Xinghai was entirely because Qin Mufeng frequently hinted indirectly about how good Ouyang Xinghai was, how suitable he was for Qin Yueran. In the end, even Qin Zhizhang felt that only Ouyang Xinghai was worthy of his granddaughter!

Qin Mufeng had been creating this subconscious impression for him!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhizhang’s gaze towards Qin Mufeng became increasingly unfriendly!

Su Rui gave a cold laugh and continued to twist the knife: “Actually, this matter is really very simple. General Qin, think carefully again, who would benefit the most after Yueran’s marriage? Who could better leverage the Ouyang family’s connections? Whoever you think of is the instigator! For his own interests, he’s forcing your granddaughter to marry someone she doesn’t like, selling her lifetime happiness!”

“I think General Qin already has an answer in his heart about who this person is!” Su Rui’s words undoubtedly opened Qin Zhizhang’s mind!

So, it was all his third son’s scheme!

“Is it you?” Qin Zhizhang pointed at Qin Mufeng, with a look of bitter disappointment!

Qin Mufeng was about to open his mouth to deny it, but then he saw Su Rui’s murderous threatening gaze and immediately closed his mouth!

“This marriage has always been your conspiracy, hasn’t it?” Qin Zhizhang roared at his son!

At this moment, the Ouyang family head, Ouyang Jian, stood up with a gloomy face. He looked at the enraged Qin Zhizhang and said: “Old Qin, the marriage has already been decided. Are you planning to go back on your word? So many guests are here as witnesses! Why is it a conspiracy for our Ouyang family’s grandson to marry your granddaughter?”

Everyone was waiting for the confrontation between Qin Zhizhang and Ouyang Jian, but Su Wuxian stood up and said with a faint smile: “But I also think this is a conspiracy.”
