Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 72, who asked for your kindness?

"Su Guang, do you really think we’d fall for your tricks so easily? Exactly! You find some random guy to impersonate the Prince of Sha Country? Hell, I might as well be your dad! Cut the crap! Pay up or pay with your lives. The choice is yours!"

Snapping back to their senses, the crowd erupted in angry curses, refusing to believe a word of Stubborn Su Gang’s nonsense.

"If you don’t believe me, you should at least believe Lin Fan. Believe Second Master Yuan Ruohai of the Yuan family, right?" Stubborn Su Gang said, not flustered in the slightest as he desperately signaled to Lin Fan with his eyes.

"Lin Fan, don’t tell me you’re in on this con with him?" someone asked, looking toward him.

"Hmph, stop bluffing! I heard Mr. Yuan Sr. already kicked the Second Master out of the family!" another shouted.

"This man is, indeed, the Prince of Sha Country," Lin Fan admitted with a calm nod. "However, all investments carry risks. You’d best weigh the decision yourselves."

At these words, everyone’s expression changed. Based on their knowledge of the Su family, Lin Fan had completely severed ties with them. He had no reason to cover for Stubborn Su Gang’s lies!

"Hmph, you all heard him. Lin Fan wouldn’t lie to you, would he?" Stubborn Su Gang snorted, beginning to gloat. "To tell you the truth, Second Master Yuan has already returned with us. He’s at the Yuan family estate right now raising funds. We’re aiming for tens of billions!"

What? Yuan Ruohai is back in Haicheng too? That’s easy enough to confirm. It’s not something you could easily fake! For a moment, the crowd exchanged glances, their suspicion once again mixed with doubt.

"Moreover, the Prince cannot stay long and will be returning to his country soon. This trip to Haicheng was a secret, so ordinary people would never get wind of it," Stubborn Su Gang said with a sigh. "We weren’t originally going to inform you, but who knew you’d have the dumb luck to stumble right into it? The chance to make a fortune is right in front of you. The choice is yours.

"Once our family secures the oil field contract, don’t come crying to me that I didn’t cut you in!"

The private room fell into a dead silence. The relatives and friends frowned in thought, clearly tempted.

"Hmph. You were all cursing our family just a moment ago. Realize your mistake now?" Seeing their hesitation, Zhang Meili sneered, taunting them mercilessly.

Su Gang and Yang Tingting, their confidence restored, looked at Stubborn Su Gang with admiration.

"Actually, one of the reasons we sold off so many of our shares was to raise capital for our partnership with the Sha Country Royal Family," an idea sparked in Su Mengqing’s mind, and she spoke without a change in expression. "We were planning to tell everyone and bring you all in on this huge opportunity once everything was finalized. But you were all too impatient and didn’t even give us a chance to explain!"

What? So that was the truth? No wonder the Su family had acted so suddenly. Come to think of it, who would be stupid enough to deliberately crash their own family’s stock price?

"Mengqing, I apologize for my earlier behavior!"

"Heh, we’re all family. It was our fault for jumping to conclusions."

"Meili, Su Guang, I admit I was biased against you two before. You have to forgive my family!"

Some began to apologize, others put on placating smiles, and still others looked ashamed as they began to beg for forgiveness. They had, after all, benefited quite a bit from the Su family over the past four years, not to mention the dividends they had earned from the family’s stock. Now, another chance to make big money was right in front of them. If they missed this chance, the losses would be immense!

"If it weren’t for Mengqing’s sake, I would never forgive you ungrateful wretches!" Zhang Meili muttered, shooting an approving glance at Su Mengqing.

Su Gang and Yang Tingting wore expressions of pure superiority, looking utterly proud and vindicated. You had to hand it to Su Mengqing; she was incredible! With just a few casual words, she had transformed the disaster of the Su family’s crashing stock price into a grand money-making plan designed for everyone’s benefit! She had even made their estranged relatives and friends come groveling back! How wonderful! Simply wonderful!

"Alright, that’s enough talk. If you want to invest, transfer the money to me now. This offer won’t last forever!" Seeing that the mood was ripe, Stubborn Su Gang nodded and proudly held up one finger. "I can’t guarantee how much you’ll earn, but I can promise you’ll at least double your investment within a month!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Double their investment in a month? If that actually worked, it’d be more profitable than robbing a bank!

"Me, me, I want to invest!"

"My family has a few hundred thousand in savings! You have to count me in!"

"I’m calling my wife to have her mortgage the house right now!"

As reality set in, the crowd went wild with joy. They scrambled over each other to get to Stubborn Su Gang, whipping out their phones to transfer money.

"Aren’t you afraid he’ll take the money and run again?" Lin Fan, who had been silent for some time, suddenly interjected.

He saw right through Stubborn Su Gang’s scheme. While the fate of these Su family relatives was none of his business, he knew what would happen next. But if Stubborn Su Gang ran off with the money, these people would inevitably come looking for Xiao Jie. At that point, wouldn’t he be the one forced to step in?

"Lin Fan, you are truly a malicious person. You just can’t stand to see the Su family doing well, can you?" Su Gang sneered, shaking his head.

"I think he’s just bitter because we didn’t include him. Now he’s just jealous and resentful, pretending to warn us out of the ’kindness’ of his heart!" Yang Tingting jeered, her eyes filled with a haughty arrogance as if she saw through everything.

"Did you all hear that? He’s just offering a kind reminder," Zhang Meili laughed, feigning persuasion. "I think you should all just forget it, lest you get scammed again!"

"I’m not afraid to tell you all that our family plans to invest over five hundred million, with my dad managing all of it," Su Mengqing said, glancing at Lin Fan before turning to the crowd with a charming smile. "If any of you feel uneasy, you can get a full refund of your investment from me at any time. But let me give you all a fair warning: anyone who believes Lin Fan now will regret it later, and it will be too late!"

Her confident voice echoed through the room. The crowd of relatives and friends froze for a second, their expressions turning ugly.

"Lin Fan, shut your mouth! Who needs your kindness?"

"Exactly! You just can’t stand to see us make money, so you’re trying to sabotage it, aren’t you?"

"Serves him right for getting kicked out with nothing! You can just tell he’s up to no good!"

One after another, they hurled insults and ridicule at him, their gazes turning hostile.

"Fine. Suit yourselves," Lin Fan said, finding the whole situation utterly laughable as his eyes grew colder. Alright then. Since you’re so eager to believe Su Mengqing’s lies, you deserve to be swindled and lose every penny!

"I’ll give you a warning of my own. Your money is going to Stubborn Su Gang, not to Xiao Jie or me." He slowly swept his gaze over their angry, scowling faces and shook his head. "If you realize later that you’ve been scammed and dare to come cause trouble for us, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

His chilling words landed with force. A shiver went down their spines, and no one dared to say another word to him. Instead, they turned back and continued to clamor to transfer their money to Stubborn Su Gang.

"Hehe, Lin Fan was just joking, don’t take it to heart," Stubborn Su Gang said, secretly breaking out in a cold sweat. He had genuinely been worried that Lin Fan would blow his cover and expose Xiao Jie’s true identity on the spot. Fortunately, the danger had passed. Watching the endless stream of transaction notifications light up his phone, he struggled to contain his joy, but a smile spread across his face anyway.

"Dad, this is five hundred million. It’s all I can pull out for now. I still need to leave some working capital in the company’s account..."

After a good ten minutes, everyone had finished their transfers. Clenching her jaw, Su Mengqing pulled out a bank card in front of everyone. She hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone and transferring the funds from the card to Stubborn Su Gang’s personal overseas account.
