Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 196 - 195, all bad things happened!

"Wait! Secretary Li, may I ask if our Ying family has done something to offend you?"

A moment later, Shen Yueli snapped back to her senses, shock and anger flashing across her face. She forced a smile, suppressing her rage as she spoke softly into the phone.

"Your business practices have been excellent and have greatly satisfied President Kim," Secretary Li’s voice replied, still chillingly cold.

"Then why would you suddenly cancel all cooperation?"

Shen Yueli and Mrs. Ying Sr. exchanged a glance, both utterly confused.

"Heh. Mrs. Shen, surely you know what you did to President Kim’s son, Kim Soohwan?"

"I’ve searched my conscience, and I’m certain I haven’t offended Mr. Kim," Shen Yueli mumbled, shaking her head, even more baffled. "I know your Guxin Group plans to enter the traditional Chinese medicine market, and that’s why I even went out of my way to—!"

Her voice died in her throat.

Shen Yueli’s eyes widened, her slender fingers tightening their grip on the phone.

Could the matter of the Yun City Shen family have been exposed? Impossible. That’s absolutely impossible. Even if the Kim family knew, they would have only gratefully accepted my kind gesture!

"Correct. It’s precisely because you were trying to be clever, feigning kindness by letting Young Master Kim Soohwan acquire the Yun City Shen family’s assets," Secretary Li said coldly from the other end. "In reality, you were just using him as a pawn to deal with Lin Fan!"

"Mrs. Shen, there’s no need to pretend anymore. Your feud with Lin Fan was originally none of Guxin Group’s business. But not long ago, to save three people from the Shen family, Lin Fan went to the Extreme Speed Taekwondo Gym in the Imperial Capital! He didn’t just kill many people from Goryeo; he also killed Mr. Jiang Taizhong and President Kim’s youngest daughter, Kim Sooeun!"

BOOM!

The moment he said this, Shen Yueli’s face drained of color, and her body trembled. Mrs. Ying Sr., who had been listening intently from the side, widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

How could this be? How is this possible? Not only has Lin Fan secretly entered the Imperial Capital, but he also went to Kim Soohwan’s territory to cause trouble? And he even killed his sister, Kim Sooeun?! This is a disaster... a major disaster!

"No, no, no, Secretary Li, please hear me out! I had no idea beforehand that Lin Fan would be so ruthless!" Cold sweat beaded on Shen Yueli’s smooth forehead as she spoke anxiously into the phone. "Besides, I only meant well! What Lin Fan did has nothing to do with our Ying family!"

"’Nothing to do with it?’" Secretary Li scoffed, his disbelief clear. "Hmph. You must have known all along that Lin Fan was still alive and that his skills were formidable, correct? Mrs. Shen, you’re very clever and know how to manipulate people... but this time, you’ve shot yourself in the foot."

"Our Guxin Group will no longer cooperate with the Ying family. Because you used Young Master Kim Soohwan, you caused him to be crippled by Lin Fan—his right arm and both knees were broken. Now he’s living a life worse than death. Therefore, from now on, Guxin Group will consider the Ying family an enemy in the business world!"

CLICK.

The line went dead.

Drenched in a cold sweat, Shen Yueli and Mrs. Ying Sr. could only stare at each other.

"How is Lin Fan still alive? Didn’t you tell Ah Lu to hire a top assassin to kill that bastard in Haicheng?!"

Silence. A long silence.

BANG!

Unable to contain her rage, Mrs. Ying Sr. slammed her hand fiercely on the altar table!

"Mother, please let me explain. Ah Lu... failed last night." A bitter taste filled Shen Yueli’s mouth as she clenched her teeth and explained everything.

"What? That cur’s skills are still intact? He wasn’t affected by the Seven-Core Deadly Lotus?" After listening, the rage on Mrs. Ying Sr.’s face subsided slightly, only to be replaced by shock and suspicion. "Then why didn’t you send Qian directly after Lin Fan to kill him and avoid future trouble?"

"...It’s because the Hai City Yuan family has produced a formidable figure, Yuan Ruohai." Shen Yueli gave a bitter laugh, her gaze turning grim as she shook her head. "A few days ago, Wen Yuan video-called me. He said the representative signing on behalf of Sha Country was a Daxia person named Yuan Ruohai, who has earned the deep trust of Prince Alger of Sha Country. He even told me to establish a good relationship with the Hai City Yuan family in advance... But how could I have known that beforehand? I had already prepared to have Ah Lu take down the Yuan family! What’s more, Lin Fan has an ambiguous relationship with the Yuan family’s young lady, Yuan Youwei... If we keep targeting Lin Fan, I’m afraid everything will be exposed!"

After she finished, both women fell silent.

"Hmph. So you’re saying our dignified Ying family can’t even lay a hand on that bastard now?" Mrs. Ying Sr. scoffed, her rage twisting into a bitter laugh as she spoke through clenched teeth. "If I had known this would happen, I would have burned their bodies seven years ago! Then we wouldn’t have all this trouble now!"

"Mother, don’t be angry. Fortunately, I still have an ace up my sleeve to make Lin Fan listen to us." At the mention of this, Shen Yueli couldn’t help but smile, a flash of confidence in her eyes. She gracefully moved behind the shrine and pulled out an urn wrapped in red cloth. "As long as we have Lin Suxin’s ashes, Lin Fan won’t dare to act recklessly."

"You’re not bothered by the bad luck? How can you keep such a thing in the Buddhist hall?" Mrs. Ying Sr. asked with disgust, waving her hand impatiently. "Throw it out! Seeing anything related to that woman makes me angry!"

"Mother, I’m using the Buddha statue to suppress Lin Suxin. I want her restless spirit to never find peace, to only suffer in atonement!" Shen Yueli’s gaze fell upon the urn, and she smiled a particularly sinister smile.

"Fine. Since Lin Fan had the dumb luck to latch onto the powerful Hai City Yuan family, we’ll spare his worthless life for now," Mrs. Ying Sr. said resentfully after a moment’s silence. "But this isn’t over! He ruined our cooperation with Guxin Group!"

"Of course. The Kim family is only canceling the cooperation because Lin Fan hasn’t paid a price for his actions."

CLANG!

Shen Yueli tossed the urn onto the floor and dusted off her hands. "As long as we capture Lin Fan and hand him over to Kim Soohwan to deal with as he pleases, they’ll surely change their minds."

As they spoke, the two women started laughing again, no longer letting the matter trouble them.

After all, one of the biggest trump cards that allowed Ying Wenyuan to become Xia Country’s representative to Sha Country was his ability to secure certain advanced, high-precision patents from Guxin Group. If he lost that trump card, Ying Wenyuan’s rivals would surely leap at the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Fortunately, things were about to be settled. Guxin Group surely didn’t truly wish to cancel the partnership; they merely wanted the Ying family to show their stance on the matter.

Just then, Shen Yueli’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, her eyes lit up with joy. "Hello, Ah Fu? How did it go? Has Rufeng completed the transplant surgery?" she asked. Mrs. Ying Sr. immediately leaned in closer to listen.

From the other end of the line came Ah Fu’s sobbing wail. "Madam, it’s terrible! Something awful has happened! Lin Fan stole back the Young Master’s bone marrow and had it transplanted into that other child! And... and outside the hospital, that bastard Lin Fan beat Young Master Rufeng until he was covered in blood! He’s severely injured, unconscious, and is now in emergency treatment at the Imperial Capital Warzone Hospital!"

What? Lin Fan... it’s Lin Fan again! How is that damned bastard everywhere? He not only stole the matched bone marrow that Ying Rufeng was about to receive, but he also beat him so severely!

Her vision went black. The phone slipped from Shen Yueli’s hand, shattering on the floor.

"Lin Fan... it’s always Lin Fan..." PFFT! She staggered, unable to keep her footing. Her face turned deathly pale as she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Lin Suxin, open your damn eyes and see what a fine son you’ve raised!" Mrs. Ying Sr. was incandescent with rage, her face a ferocious mask as she pointed at the urn on the floor and shrieked, stamping her feet.

Becoming angrier as she cursed, she stormed forward in a fit of rage and kicked the urn, sending it flying into a corner of the room. The force of the kick made Mrs. Ying Sr. wince, feeling as if her toes were about to break.

"Mother, stop shouting! We need to go see Rufeng!" Shen Yueli bit her lip to stay composed, her eyes welling with tears she fought to hold back. She grabbed Mrs. Ying Sr., who was about to take her anger out on the urn again, and pleaded through a choked sob.

"You’re right, you’re right. Rufeng is the most important thing right now," Mrs. Ying Sr. came to her senses. "As for that bastard Lin Fan... as long as he’s still in the Imperial Capital, we’ll have plenty of time to deal with him!"

Limping and hopping on one foot, she followed Shen Yueli out the door, heading straight for the Imperial Capital Warzone Hospital.
