My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 490: Chapter 488: Qian Guanshu’s Retribution (Second Lunch Box Release)

Zhang He was shot.

A bullet blew his brains out from the back of his head.

He collapsed motionless right in front of Ye Wenhan, eyes wide open even in death.

Meanwhile.

All the others who had been waiting here with Ye Wenhan drew their guns and pointed them menacingly at the man who had killed Zhang He.

“Drop your weapons!” Ye Wenhan ordered.

Everyone was looking at Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan said, “If you don’t want to end up like Zhang He, then drop your weapons!”

Everyone exchanged looks, daring not to act rashly.

“Zhang He is now dead, and Qian Guanshu will soon be. If you stick with me in the future, I won’t treat you unfairly!” Ye Wenhan declared loudly.

A number of Jun Minghan’s men who were behind him had their guns trained on Ye Wenhan’s men.

“Your master is dead. You should find other roads. After all, we’re all just people’s henchmen. Following me won’t do you a disservice!” Ye Wenhan barked.

Everyone remained in a stalemate.

After a while.

One man suddenly dropped his weapon.

Everyone else followed suit, dropping their weapons.

Ye Wenhan watched this scene unfold, a smile creeping onto his face. Finally.

Finally, the world was about to be his.

He said fiercely, “Everyone, follow my orders!”

“Yes, sir.” Everyone responded with utmost reverence.

Ye Wenhan ordered some men to bury Zhang He’s body, then resumed his usual waiting for Qian Guanshu to appear.

After a while.

A black sedan arrived.

Qian Guanshu got out of the car.

The black sedan quickly drove away.

Ye Wenhan walked toward Qian Guanshu.

Qian Guanshu looked at Ye Wenhan, heaving a sigh of relief at that moment. He had always been afraid that the Jun Family would plot against him, so he had asked Zhang He to keep a close watch on them, fearing any accidents. If anything were to go wrong, he would immediately have Zhang He expose all the unspeakable deeds of the Jun Family!

Fortunately.

The Jun Family still held some fear of him and didn’t dare to act rashly.

He walked toward Ye Wenhan, saying coldly, “Let’s go!”

With that, he strode ahead.

At that moment.

He suddenly realized that something was off.

No one was following his orders, they were just staring at him.

Qian Guanshu’s face darkened, he turned to Ye Wenhan, “What are you all standing around for!”

Ye Wenhan still remained emotionless, just staring at Qian Guanshu.

Qian Guanshu, sharp as he was, immediately sensed that something was amiss. He bellowed, “Zhang He!”

No one answered.

Qian Guanshu glared coldly at Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan approached him, “Dad, there’s no Zhang He anymore, just me from now on!”

“What nonsense are you spouting, what happened to Zhang He?” Qian Guanshu was livid, at that moment, he really wanted to kill his son!

“I killed him. He was too talkative. He refused to listen to my advice. For those who don’t listen, it’s best they die.”

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Qian Guanshu spat.

“Of course, I do.” Ye Wenhan replied, and then raised his gun, aiming squarely at Qian Guanshu.

Qian Guanshu stiffened.

He looked coldly at his son.

“I’m grateful for the immense power you handed to me. I always dreamed of the day I would rise to prominence, looking down upon everyone. And you gave me such an exalted position. But…Dad, you’re too controlling. I was never allowed to call the shots, always getting scolded by you, even a dog wouldn’t listen to me. What’s the use of such a high-ranking position?” Ye Wenhan spat out sarcastically.

“Enough, Ye Wenhan! I don’t want to bring up the past, just drop your weapon!”

“I won’t. Why would I miss such a golden opportunity today and not kill you? With you dead, you would truly be a prisoner who committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and no one would interfere with my affairs. More importantly, no one would say that we’re alike anymore, and I also wouldn’t have to live in constant fear of my identity being exposed. After all, Ye Taiting is dead, and you’re about to be dead, there will be no one to accuse me!”

“Have you lost your mind? If you kill me, do you think you can still live a good life? Ye Wenhan, do you have a brain? Given the current situation, killing me is simply paving the way for your two enemies. Can you be any more stupid…”

Qian Guanshu was truly fuming at his son’s stupidity.

How could he have such an idiotic son!

He had been calculating others all his life, only to fall into his own son’s trap one day!

“Enough!” Ye Wenhan was also enraged, he cut off Qian Guanshu, “I don’t want to listen to your berating anymore, I don’t want to hear another word from you. I’ve had enough! I will live well on my own in the future, with no need for your concern. You just lay down and enjoy your eternal rest…”

With that, Ye Wenhan pulled the trigger.

Qian Guanshu felt a chill creep down his spine.

He truly didn’t expect that Ye Wenhan would come to kill him. He had expended all his efforts, only to be killed by his own son in the end!

His eyes turned blood-red, and he glared fiercely at Ye Wenhan, “You really are the pinnacle of idiocy, the absolute pinnacle!”

Ye Wenhan didn’t heed a single word.

Right now, he just wanted to kill Qian Guanshu. Killing him would mean that the world would belong to him and he would be free to do whatever he wanted!

Without any hesitation, he said, “Once you told me that a man must be ruthless and cunning. To meet the end you have today is the consequence of your own actions! Farewell!”

The next second, a gunshot rang out.

The bullet pierced straight through Qian Guanshu’s forehead.

A twisted look took over Qian Guanshu’s face.

Qian Guanshu, who had been calculating people all his life, was unexpectedly killed by his own son in the end!

Was it karma?

Was it divine retribution?

With eyes red as blood, he stared unblinkingly until his last breath, using all his strength to tell Ye Wenhan, “Never trust Jun Minghan and his…mother…ugh…”

A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.

Qian Guanshu’s eyes bulged as he collapsed into a pool of blood, completely still.

Ye Wenhan coldly watched his father collapse and lie motionless.

He felt a sense of elation inside.

Finally, finally, he was no longer beholden to anyone!

Finally, the world would be his, Ye Wenhan’s, alone.

He laughed coldly, a laugh filled with madness.

He hadn’t felt such a gratifying pleasure before, such a satisfying contentment.

“Clap, clap, clap.” Suddenly, the sound of clapping echoed from behind him.

Ye Wenhan turned around.

Jun Minghan appeared in the darkness.

He said, “Indeed, Mr. Ye is resolute in his actions, no room for hesitation, which I must commend.”

Ye Wenhan glared fiercely at Jun Minghan.

“Hand over Qian Guanshu’s body to me. I’ll arrange for his return to the prison cell.”

Ye Wenhan nodded.

Jun Minghan had his men take Qian Guanshu’s corpse away.

Ye Wenhan just watched as the vehicle departed.

Without uttering another word, Jun Minghan got in another car and left as well.

In an instant, tranquility was restored.

The hand that held the weapon was trembling slightly.

The next second, a triumphant smile emerged on his lips.

Inside the car, Jun Minghan made a phone call, “As expected, Ye Wenhan has killed Qian Guanshu. Now that I’m taking Qian Guanshu’s corpse back, he’ll appear to have committed suicide out of fear of punishment. His most trusted subordinate also ended up being killed by Ye Wenhan. The others all went to follow Ye Wenhan. Qian Guanshu was caught off guard and unprepared, so all the evidence he had against us has disappeared.”

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, before they responded, “We should never underestimate Ji Baijian.”

Jun Minghan frowned.

While Ji Baijian was indeed involved in this matter, they deserved the majority of the credit for achieving the current result. Ji Baijian had merely performed some minor tasks.

“Ji Baijian is truly clever to have collaborated with us,” Leng Wanqing sneered coldly.

Jun Minghan didn’t know what his mother was up to.

In his eyes, Ji Baijian was just a slightly clever ordinary man.

Jun Minghan didn’t question his mother further. Changing the topic, he asked, “What do we do with Ye Wenhan now? Without Qian Guanshu, he won’t last long. What happens to the Commercial Management organization if he falls? Shouldn’t we step in and take over?”

“There’s no rush. Let Ye Wenhan dig his own grave while giving me some time to think about how to deal with Ji Baijian.”

“Yes.”

…

6 a.m. in the morning.

The news of Qian Guanshu’s suicide due to guilt emerged.

Ji Baijian had hardly slept the entire night.

Song Zhizhi was in a similar state.

Ji Baijian looked at the breaking news on his phone and immediately dialed Jun Mingyu’s number.

Apparently well awake, Jun Mingyu confirmed, “Yes, Qian Guanshu is indeed dead. I’m certain it’s him.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Had it not been him, Jun Minghan would have had the body cremated right away. But for now, I’ve had my people go and see. Qian Guanshu’s body is in the morgue. It’s confirmed he’s dead.”

“Good,” Ji Baijian replied.

“Ji Baijian. Just so you know, you’re now squarely in Jun Minghan’s sights… no, no, no, you have drawn the attention of Lady Jun herself. Jun Minghan is cunning enough, but next to Lady Jun, he’s a lightweight. You better brace yourself.”

“Thanks for the warning.”

“I’m not joking.”

“I know,” Ji Baijian responded with calm, “But now that it’s a fact, I have no choice but to face it.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to protect you.”

“Assuming you aren’t killed first.”

“…” Jun Mingyu found himself speechless every time Ji Baijian came up with a retort.

“That’s enough, get some sleep.”

Ji Baijian hung up the phone.

The small head inside the blanket was looking at him.

Ji Baijian put down his phone and, looking at Song Zhizhi, confirmed, “Yes, Qian Guanshu is dead.”

“So Ye Wenhan really did murder his own father.”

“Yes.”

“It seems I was blind in my previous life,” Song Zhizhi snarled through gritted teeth.

“Ironically, I actually owe him a word of thanks. If not for him, my wife would not be with me now,” Ji Baijian pulled her closer.

“…” What kind of logic is that? “Are we going to deal with Ye Wenhan now?”

“Of course.”

“Aren’t you worried that official family could interfere.”

“They’re itching for us to bring down Ye Wenhan so they can get their hands on Commercial Management. If they interfere at all, it will only be to help us!”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

“Ye Wenhan has become a real eyesore. Every time I see him, I’m reminded of your past with him…”

“Ji Baijian, you’re seeking revenge for personal insult.”

“My wife is always right.”

Obviously these are all his own thoughts, blaming them on her.

“Go to sleep,” Ji Baijian said soothingly.

Song Zhizhi snuggled in Ji Baijian’s arms.

She treasured every moment with Ji Baijian. She always felt that life was full uncertainties. Perhaps there would come a day when either she, or he, would just drop dead!

…

The news of Qian Guanshu’s suicide stunned the world, just as when he was suddenly arrested three days ago.

As everyone was still puzzled about what had actually happened to Qian Guanshu, his death was announced.

Fortunately, after his death, the official released the crimes committed by Qian Guanshu. He had abused his position to lure Weng Cheng into kidnapping Ji Baixin in a bid to seize 5% of the Milky Way’s shares. To conceal his crimes, he sent Weng Cheng off for illegal smuggling. Subsequently, he sabotaged the ship’s structure to create the impression of an accidental sinking and hence murder his way out.

When the news broke, no one could believe that Qian Guanshu could do anything so depraved. His just death brought relief to many.

Weng Cheng, implicated by Qian Guanshu’s case, was tried in court half a month later with the following verdict:

Weng Cheng will serve a prison sentence of 38 years for intending kidnap leading to Ji Baixin’s first miscarriage, illegally gaining 5% of Yin Bin’s shares in the Milky Way system, attempting another kidnap and sexually assaulting Ji Baixin, maliciously bribing others to sabotage the Milky Way live stream causing massive loss.

The offender Yin Ying, having full knowledge of all the events and not only failing to stop or report them but aiding in their perpetuation, is sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment. The 5% shares of the Milky Way system she holds will also be returned to the victim Yin Bin.

Final judgement by the High People’s Court of Jin City, not subject to appeal!
