Strongest Counterattack Chapter 342 - Who Are They? And Who Am I?

Chapter 342 Who Are They? And Who Am I?

There are always some things in life that are very strange. They would definitely not go the way you planned. Instead, if you do not want things to go a certain way, that would be exactly what happens. Usually, this is how miracles happen. Many people seek the root of this problem, yet in the end, they could not pinpoint if it is a psychological or scientific problem.

At this moment, this was exactly the case for the Song family.

Standing in the villa’s living room, Qin Ran fell into a deep silence after saying those words. Other than the family members who already knew this fact, the rest were so shocked that they took a long time to process it. The impossible became a fact. This was something that they could not believe at all. Qin Sheng, the young man whom they had done a thorough background check on in the beginning, was actually Qin Changan’s son?

How could that be?

Who was Qin Changan? He was the unseen big shot in Sijiu City, an absolutely influential character. He had many investments locally and abroad and the numbers were all in the black. No one would believe it if you were to say that he was just an ordinary businessman. Although his a.s.sets were not jaw-dropping, his influence in the political and business realms was unprecedented. He was much more powerful than those top rich people seen on the television and the Internet.

Most people knew that Qin Changan only had one daughter whom he cherished dearly. This daughter was an exceptional, fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful lady in others’ eyes. All men dreamed of having her. But no one knew that Qin Changan had a son!

And this son was the boring and ordinary man who had offended the Song family several times, causing them to want to teach him a lesson.

As for Qin Sheng, all that happened today had far exceeded what he could take in. A woman whom he had only seen a few times and had not been in touch with appeared here suddenly to save him. He was a man whom she had followed silently and whose life she had saved, yet he had completely cut off all contacts recently.

And then, this woman said that this idiot, who had been an orphan for more than 20 years, was her biological younger brother and that his biological father was a man called Qin Changan. As for who this Qin Changan was and why the Song family feared him, Qin Sheng had no capacity to think about it anymore.

Qin Sheng was already breaking down. There was no logic to be talked about. He had no idea what just happened. He just stared at these people in front of him dumbfoundedly. He had no idea what his relations.h.i.+p to them was anymore.

“Who are they? And who am I?”

“This…” Song Hongtu was the first to process the news. He found it extremely unbelievable, but since Qin Ran was standing right there with Gongsun, then it had to be a fact. Even though he did not believe it, he had to believe in the Qin family’s capabilities. If the news was not accurate, how could they be so excited about it?

Qin Ran knew that no matter who she told the news to, no one would believe it. However, she was more clear than anyone else about what happened exactly. Hence, she replied, “Uncles, I know that all of you find it hard to accept this fact, but this is the history of our Qin family. There are some things about my grandfather that not a lot of people know about. Grandfather Song in Beijing should know.”

Song Hongtu sighed. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Yet at the same time, he felt lucky. If Qin Ran had not arrived just in time, if they really did something to Qin Changan’s son, then they would really have triggered the Qin family to the core. It would be a difficult matter to resolve, and they might even have to ask their relatives for help.

While Song Wushuang might have seen it all, this was the first time he had experienced such a thing. It felt like a storyline in a novel. No wonder he felt that Qin Sheng was wiser than other young people. As for what happened afterward, that was not in his control.

Now that Qin Sheng suddenly turned from an ordinary person into Qin Changan’s son, if their daughter was to continue the relations.h.i.+p with him, it would be beneficial for the Song family. However, would the new Qin Sheng or the Qin family fancy her?

The contrast was too big, so they were annoyed, but they could only accept it as it was.

As for Song Jianing, he really felt like crying. One moment before, he was still trying to torture Qin Sheng, and in the next moment, he wanted to apologize to him immediately. “Big Brother, you’re a generous person, don’t dawdle on such a lowly person’s mistake. Everything is a misunderstanding. Think about my younger sister and don’t linger on this matter.” Also, his thoughts were similar to Second Uncle Song Wushuang’s. He really hoped that Qin Sheng and Song Zhiqiu could rekindle the fire. In that case, the Song family would then have a powerful ally and he would be Qin Sheng’s brother-in-law.

In the eyes of outsiders, Song Zhiqiu was an extremely intelligent woman. But in the eyes of Qin Sheng and her family, she was very pure. Although she knew who Qin Changan was, she only felt happy for Qin Sheng at this moment. Firstly, Qin Sheng no longer needed to feel sorry for himself, and the Song family would no longer target him. Secondly, Qin Sheng was no longer an orphan; he had a father, an older sister, and a family.

Song Hongtu did not say anything. He did not know what to say. The Song family was just deeply embarra.s.sed but he did not have the capacity to think about that right now as he had to take some time to process this big news.

Seeing that Song Hongtu did not say anything, Qin Ran was not willing to continue staying in the Song family’s villa as well. Hence, she said directly, “Uncles, I’m really sorry for disturbing you all today. I’ll take my brother back now. I’ll come and visit you all again in the future if there’s a chance. Also, I hope that you all can forgive my brother for how he had offended the Song family in the past. I apologize on his behalf as his older sister.”

Hearing this, Song Hongtu quickly replied politely, “No need, no need. It is all a misunderstanding. The two of you finally met each other. I shall not keep you two. We will meet again if we have the chance.”

“Okay. Thank you, Uncle Song, “Qin Ran said respectfully. She had grown up learning about methods of how to interact with people. Besides, she had been doing business for so long as a strong female power, so how could she not know these?

After saying that, she looked at Nan Gong and Zhuang Zhou, who were standing behind her. They immediately understood what she wanted and quickly walked up to Qin Sheng and took him away from the Song’s bodyguards, who still had no idea what just happened.

Qin Sheng was still in a daze and had yet to process it. This was not something that could be thought through in such a short amount of time, let alone accept. Hence, he could only let them carry him away.

Zhuang Zhou sighed. He pitied Qin Sheng a little. No matter how the Qin family was going to reconcile with Qin Sheng, he had to go through this stage, as this news had shattered his current lifestyle to pieces.

When Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong carried Qin Sheng and walked past Qin Ran, it was the first time that she finally saw clearly how he looked. His clothes were untidy, his beard unshaven, hair in a mess, eyes in a daze, face very pale, lips chapped, and his whole person was very weak.

Qin Ran’s tears were already gathering in her eyes. She turned her head away forcefully and stopped herself from breaking down. She then said to the Song family, “Uncles, we will get going now. Sorry for the trouble.”

After that, she suddenly thought of something again. “Also, Uncles, I hope that whatever has happened today can remain a secret. My father still does not want others to know about this.”

“Understood,” Song Hongtu said bitterly as he nodded.

After which, the Song family watched the Qin family members take their leave. The other people in the Song family had complicated looks in their eyes. However, Song Zhiqiu was only worried about Qin Sheng’s worries.

After taking a seat, Song Hongtu lit a cigarette and sighed emotionally. “This is so unexpected. It really took us all by surprise. I’ve yet to process it.”

Song Wushuang did not smoke; he only drank with his customers now and then. He replied, “Everything on earth is impermanent, we never know what will happen. This young man’s life is so full of ups and downs.”

Song Jianing was not as emotional. After all, he did not have as many interactions with Qin Sheng. He only responded a little fearfully, “Dad, luckily we didn’t do anything to him. Otherwise, we would be in deep trouble.”

Song Hongtu shook his head and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore, Jianing. Those who know what happened today, shut your mouths. If I hear one word about this, I will not go easy on them.”

“Got it, I’ll take care of it right away,” Song Jianing responded immediately. Apparently, the Qin family still did not want others to know about this. After all, it was a lot of information to process. The Song family naturally could not offend the Qin family.

Song Wushuang lowered his head and smiled bitterly as he glanced at Song Zhiqiu, who was beside him. His initial thought earlier on had been overthrown, so he let the boat sail on its own and he did not want to care about this anymore. If Qin Sheng and his daughter could restart, that would definitely be great news. But if this was the end, it was not necessarily bad. This was because Qin Sheng was no longer who he used to be. In the future, there would be so many variables in his life. Besides, his daughter might not get used to the Qin family’s environment.

Outside, the Qin family members had already boarded the car. Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong sat in the first car with Qin Sheng. Zhuang Zhou took the wheel while Nan Gong sat in the back to take care of Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng shut his eyes and leaned against the window. He looked like he was in pain. Nan Gong did not know what to do, yet she did not dare to disturb him.

Qin Ran and Gongsun sat in the second car. This was arranged by Gongsun on their way here, lest anything happen.

Gongsun sat in the pa.s.senger seat while Qin Ran sat in the back.

Gongsun wanted to say something. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth. “Ran Ran…”

Qin Ran’s gaze was a little complex, as she was worried about Qin Sheng’s mental state. She stopped him directly and said, “Uncle Gongsun, call him and tell him that we’ll go back to Beijing in two days. I’m a little worried about my brother.”

“Okay, I’ll make the call right away,” Gongsun nodded immediately and said.

Not long after, Qin Changan picked up the phone. Gongsun repeated what Qin Ran said and Qin Changan only said, “Understood,” before hanging up.

On the way back to the hotel, no one in the front car nor the back car spoke a word. It was very silent.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of a hotel.

The car behind had just pulled to a stop and Qin Ran immediately got out and ran toward the car in front. Nan Gong was opening the door for Qin Sheng and was about to help him out.

Before Qin Sheng got out of the car completely, Qin Ran had already run over and hugged him without a single hesitation. Everyone was shocked.

She could not hold it back anymore. She broke down instantly and bawled.

Her longing for him was like a knife, and each knife was enough to kill her…
