"Let me give you all a hand," Lin Fan said, forcing his way forward.
Wei Tang was shocked. His fatherâs incident with Wei Dagang had just unfolded; he didnât want to end up the same way and instantly backed down.
"Donât come any closer. Iâll just leave on my own!" Wei Tang said hastily.
Lin Fan still approached Wei Tang, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "You urged Elder Wei to kick my dear wife out of the house. How does it feel now that youâre being kicked out yourself? Iâll give you one chance: I wonât lay a hand on you, so scram."
Wei Tang was furious but dared not speak, obediently followed by two attendants, and walked out.
Finally, Wei Tang was driven away.
Wei Qingxue said, "Thank you, Grandfather, for standing up for me."
At this moment, Wei Qingxueâs phone rang; it was Secretary Xu calling again.
This call was mainly to find Elder Wei.
"Mr. Wei, have there been any developments with the culprit who kidnapped Miss Wei?" Secretary Xu asked.
Elder Wei broke into a sweat; this Wanjin Groupâs investment director was really keeping a close watch, it seemed they truly cared about this issue.
Fortunately, he had already driven Wei Tang away; otherwise, itâd be tough to explain to them.
"The culprit has been found and has received their deserved punishment. I am firmly committed to protecting Qingxue, so please rest assured, Miss Xu," Elder Wei said.
Secretary Xu responded with an âohâ and said, "Miss Wei, is it true?"
Wei Qingxue replied, "Miss Xu, what Grandpa said is true; the culprit has been dealt with."
Secretary Xu said, "Alright then. I donât wish for our partnership to encounter such issues again, and I hope the Wei Family can take note. I have a meeting to attend, so letâs leave it at that. We will distribute funds to the Wei Family according to the contract."
Elder Wei was relieved. "Thank you, Miss Xu. I assure you, Qingxue wonât suffer similar harm again. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant."
The call then ended.
"Big brother, Iâve done what you asked. Iâve confessed everything too; can you give me a way out?"
At this moment, Chen the Third, who was lying on the floor, spoke with a beseeching look.
Lin Fan said calmly, "Thereâs a car waiting for you outside. If you can walk out on your own, then go ahead."
Chen the Third was overjoyed and, gritting his teeth, struggled to get up, stumbling as he moved outward.
Lin Fan said, "Todayâs incident at the Wei Family â consider it as if nothing happened. If I find out you leaked even the slightest hint, I will personally pay another visit."
It was precisely because he didnât want to cause a public uproar that Lin Fan decided to spare Chen the Third.
Chen the Third immediately agreed, "Rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut."
It took all his might for Chen the Third to finally walk out of the Wei Family, and he barely managed to climb into the car, wincing in pain all over.
"Lin Fan, I will remember you. Just wait â if I let it go just like this, I, Chen the Third, am a dog!" Chen the Thirdâs eyes briefly showed a fierce light.
Inside the hall, after this incident, Elder Wei was somewhat mentally and physically exhausted. He then stood up with the help of the old butler and said, "I hope everyone uses Wei Tang as an example. If anyone else damages the family interests, I wonât be lenient. Iâm tired; letâs call it a day."
With the butlerâs assistance, Elder Wei went to the backyard.
With Elder Wei gone, the others slowly dispersed as well.
"Dear wife, letâs go home too," Lin Fan said.
Wei Qingxue acknowledged with a nod and left with Lin Fan.
Just upon reaching the door, they bumped into someone hurrying in from outside.
Wei Zihan!
At this moment, Wei Zihan looked a little distressed, with bruising at the corner of her mouth as if she had been hit. Due to her hurry, she was somewhat out of breath.
Upon learning that her younger brother Wei Tang had been expelled from the family by Elder Wei, she rushed back immediately.
"Whereâs Wei Tang? What have you done to my brother?" Wei Zihan demanded furiously. She knew somewhat that Wei Tangâs expulsion had something to do with Wei Qingxue, and upon encountering Wei Qingxue, she was quick to find fault.
Lin Fan, however, sized her up and smiled, "Sister Zihan, whatâs with you? Got beaten up? Whoâs bold enough to hit Wei Familyâs eldest lady?"
Wei Zihan, irritated, said, "Itâs none of your business! Wei Qingxue, Iâm asking you, what exactly did you do to my brother?"
Wei Qingxue coolly said, "Why should I tell you? Ask him yourself. Lin Fan, letâs go."
Wei Zihan blocked Wei Qingxueâs path: "No explanation, and donât think of leaving, you little b****. My brother was kicked out because of you, right?"
Wei Qingxue didnât even want to waste her breath on Wei Zihan.
Wei Zihan became even more angry: "Little b****, Iâve said youâre unreliable from the start. What are you planning by harming my brother? Why wonât you speak? Are you going to speak or not, d*** it?"
Wei Zihan, filled with rage, raised her hand to slap Wei Qingxue.
Of course, she didnât hit Wei Qingxue; her hand was caught by Lin Fan midway.
"Being foul-mouthed is one thing, why resort to violence?" Lin Fan chuckled.
Wei Zihan struggled but couldnât move; shocked and furious, she said, "You worthless bum, how dare you stop me? Donât forget your status; you are just the Wei Familyâs lowest son-in-law, let go, I order you to let go!"
Wei Qingxue shook her head; ordering Lin Fan was futile, he dared to grab even Wei Zihanâs fatherâs throat, not to mention her. Trying to use status to suppress Lin Fan was useless.
Lin Fan asked, "Will you still hit?"
Wei Zihan cursed, "Iâll hit the little b****, whatâs it to you? Iâll hit you too, you damn delivery guy!"
Lin Fan responded simply, "Alright."
He applied slightly more pressure.
"Ah!"
Wei Zihan immediately felt as if her hand was squeezed by giant iron pincers; half her body went numb, and she let out a scream from the pain, breaking into a cold sweat.
"Let go, you bum!" Wei Zihan cursed.
"Still foul-mouthed," Lin Fan chuckled, applying more pressure.
"Ah!"
Wei Zihan screamed again, this time her whole body weakened in pain, breaking into a cold sweat, finally realizing this delivery guy was way too much.
Lin Fan asked again, "Will you still hit?"
Wei Zihan realized if she didnât relent, her hand would break and quickly said, "No more hitting, please let go!"
Wei Qingxue blinked, looking at Lin Fan with some admiration; Wei Zihan, the unruly eldest lady, walking horizontally in the Wei Family, was subdued by Lin Fan, making Lin Fan truly unprecedented!
Lin Fan smiled, "Thatâs better. If you dare to hit again, Iâll ruin your hand."
Saying this, Lin Fan let go.
Wei Zihan, regaining her freedom, covered her wrist with one hand and saw it reddened, truly looking like it had been squeezed by pincers, and couldnât help but be quite afraid. Why was this Lin Fan so formidable?
"Hmph, Lin Fan, bullying a girl, what kind of man are you? I wonât let it slide! You wonât talk, right? You wonât talk; Iâll ask Grandpa!"
Wei Zihan threw down her harsh words and hurried away.
Lin Fan and Wei Qingxue didnât mind her; after Wei Zihan learns why Wei Tang was expelled, her face would surely be interesting.
Afterwards, Lin Fan and Wei Qingxue went home.
At home, Wei Dazong and Li Xueyan were waiting for something.
Meanwhile, Wei Tang, who had been expelled from the Wei Family, wandered the streets alone, feeling at a loss, not knowing where to go, almost wanting to die.
Suddenly, a van pulled up beside Wei Tang, and from the van, two masked men stepped out, and one after the other, subdued Wei Tang, forcibly dragging him onto the van.
In an instant, Wei Tang was abducted.
