Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger-Chapter 74. Kill Lin Fan tonight!

On the outskirts of the city, outside the gates of the Yuan family estate.

Yuan Ruohai’s face was etched with unwillingness as he turned to gaze at the brightly lit manor behind the gates. Just moments ago, he had tried his best to persuade and coax the old man, but his grandfather simply wouldn’t take the bait.

He even patted Yuan Ruohai on the shoulder with a smile, encouraging him to be self-reliant and carve out a new world for himself in Sha Country!

As for investments, there was not a single cent.

Even worse, he was forbidden from returning to the Yuan family and had to leave Haicheng immediately!

"Dad, if Grandfather doesn’t trust you, there’s nothing we can do... Sigh." Yuan Tao, who had walked him to the door, shook his head and sighed, a hint of pity in his eyes.

"I think the old man has just gone senile. He’s lost all his courage for taking risks!" Yuan Ruoshan snorted beside him. He pulled out a bank card and handed it to Yuan Ruohai. "Second Brother, I have several million here. Consider it support from your younger brother!"

"I’ll invest one million too!"

"Second Master, I don’t have much, but I’ll contribute five hundred thousand for now!"

Other Yuan family members who had followed them out also chimed in, pulling out their phones to transfer money to Yuan Ruohai.

"...I, Yuan Ruohai, will remember everyone’s kindness. One day, I will repay you a hundredfold!"

Yuan Ruohai’s nose tingled. He felt moved, yet also indignant and grieved. Once, he was the Second Master of the Yuan family, a man worth over a billion. Now, he had steeled his heart to grab the money and run, yet he had only managed to gather these bits and scraps!

What a disgrace! It’s utterly humiliating!

"Dad, I have thirty thousand here, think of it as a small token..." Yuan Tao hesitated for a long while before gritting his teeth and pulling out his phone, also intending to transfer money to his father.

"Forget it. Just keep it for yourself."

Yuan Ruohai’s body trembled, his face turning green. Is this kid really my son? He’s acting like pulling out thirty thousand yuan is going to kill him! Damn it all, that’s worse than tossing a few coins at a beggar!

"Oh, well, you take care of yourself, Dad. I’ll look after Mom and my sister." Yuan Tao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put his phone back in his pocket.

He couldn’t figure out if his father’s plan was real this time. But following the lead of his second sister, Yuan Youwei, and his grandfather was definitely the right choice. They all thought the Prince of Sha Country was unreliable and weren’t willing to put up any money. They’d rather waste the cash on a night out at a club than throw it away on this scheme!

"Alright, no need to see me off. I need to get back to His Highness the Prince." Yuan Ruohai ignored Yuan Tao, nodded to Yuan Ruoshan and the others, then got into the car and drove away.

Though he hadn’t raised a large sum, it was still a small gain. Plus, with the message from Stubborn Su Gang that he had secured over five hundred million from the Su family, their combined total would put his personal net worth back over a hundred million after they split it.

"Second Master, someone wants to see you."

After a while, as the car was driving toward the city, the Yuan family’s chauffeur suddenly glanced at the rearview mirror and spoke.

"What do you mean? Who wants to see me?" Yuan Ruohai’s eyes narrowed in the backseat as he forced himself to remain calm.

"Chen Heihu, Lord Hu."

"...Fine. I am willing to meet my old friend, Lord Hu." Yuan Ruohai’s brows relaxed, and he nodded.

SCREECH!

The car screeched to a halt before making a U-turn and heading toward the urban village in the eastern part of the city.

「Meanwhile.」

Deep within the Yuan family estate, in the master’s living quarters.

"Youwei, what do you think?" Mr. Yuan Sr., dressed in a loose robe, sat cheerfully on a spacious sofa and asked Yuan Youwei, who was seated beside him.

"Grandfather, even though Lin Fan said that man is genuinely the Prince of Sha Country... I still find it somewhat dubious." Yuan Youwei hesitated a moment but still shook her head.

"Ruohai’s little tricks can only deceive fools like Yuan Ruoshan," Mr. Yuan Sr. laughed, a sharp light glinting in his cloudy old eyes. "Anyway, let’s drop this... I heard Lin Fan made quite a scene at the Wang family’s place today and even produced nine invaluable prescriptions?"

Before Yuan Youwei could respond, Mrs. Xue jumped in, unable to hold back her complaint. "It’s true, Mr. Yuan Sr.! And on top of that, Lin Fan has a backup plan! He wants to use the special medicine boxes that preserve the herbs to force those nine families to pay up and secure the four-billion-yuan order!"

"Mrs. Xue, so you also think this Lin Fan fellow is unreliable?" Mr. Yuan Sr. was stunned for a moment, then let out a self-deprecating laugh.

He grew even more suspicious of Lin Fan’s true identity. Perhaps this young man wasn’t the person he had imagined. The Vermilion Bird Ring he possessed was probably just something he had obtained by chance.

"Grandfather, on the contrary, I think Lin Fan will definitely succeed!"

At that moment, Yuan Youwei’s beautiful eyes shone with confidence as she spoke decisively.

"Alright, let’s make a bet then." Mr. Yuan Sr. blinked, smiling meaningfully. "Youwei, don’t forget, you still have a marriage arrangement over in the Imperial Capital."

"...Weren’t you the one who told me to try and win Lin Fan over?" Yuan Youwei’s face flushed slightly as she replied, puzzled. "I never took that marriage arrangement seriously."

"That was then, this is now. I must have been mistaken before." Mr. Yuan Sr. narrowed his eyes and grunted. "However, it doesn’t matter. If Lin Fan can really secure four billion just by selling medicine boxes, then he is worthy of being the grandson-in-law of me, Yuan Tianguang."

"If I win, not only will I call off the marriage arrangement in the Imperial Capital, but I will also resign as vice president to help Lin Fan manage Yuandao Pharmaceuticals!" Yuan Youwei’s eyes flashed, and she replied with a sweet, coquettish smile.

"You’re really bewitched by that boy... Fine, I agree!" Mr. Yuan Sr.’s face twitched. He was somewhat reluctant, but he still nodded.

"Brother Ruohai, long time no see."

The car stopped deep within the urban village in the eastern part of the city. The driver led Yuan Luohai into the dimly lit basement of a tube-like apartment building.

After knocking, someone pulled the door open from the inside, revealing a brightly lit room.

Chen Heihu immediately stood up and strode forward to greet him with a booming laugh.

"Lord Hu, it’s been a long time. I’ve missed you." Yuan Ruohai smiled and gave Chen Heihu a big hug.

His gaze swept around, noting several scattered members of Black Tiger Hall. Surprisingly, two distinguished-looking strangers were also sitting in a corner, calmly drinking tea.

"I had you come here in person, Brother Ruohai, because of a fantastic opportunity." Chen Heihu clapped his hands.

Several people suddenly stepped inside, causing Yuan Ruohai’s eyes to widen. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The person in the lead was none other than the head of the Wang family and president of the Haicheng Pharmaceutical Association, Wang Tianchuan! The others with him were also of extraordinary status. In fact, they were all the top bosses of Haicheng’s nine largest pharmaceutical companies!

"We came to find Lord Hu tonight and ended up meeting Second Master Yuan. It must be fate!" Mr. Wang Sr. was beaming as he and the other executives nodded in greeting to Yuan Ruohai.

"Brother Ruohai, I won’t waste words. Everyone gathered here tonight has one purpose: to kill Lin Fan!"

Before a stunned Yuan Ruohai could ask any questions, Chen Heihu sneered and turned to bow to the two men in the corner.

"Gentlemen, a pleasure. I am Iguchi Watanabe, the vice president of the Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group from Sakura Country." One of the stout men in a suit stood up and bowed deeply to the group.

What? Someone from Sakura Country? And from the infamous Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group, no less!

Yuan Ruohai’s body jolted, his expression stiffening as he stared intently at Chen Heihu.

It was a well-known fact that the Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group was the public enemy of Xia Country’s pharmaceutical industry. The two sides had clashed repeatedly in the international medical market!

No wonder Chen Heihu had risen so rapidly from a small-time thug seven years ago to become the emperor of Haicheng’s underworld. It turned out he had a powerful backer like the Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group behind him!

"To be honest, our Iguchi Pharmaceutical Group is affiliated with the great Holy Poison Sect," Iguchi Watanabe said, standing ramrod straight with a peculiar smile on his chubby face. "And this gentleman beside me is an external affairs elder of the Holy Poison Sect, Master Feng!"

He turned his head, his gaze reverent as he looked at the man by the tea table and announced loudly, "Master Feng came to Haicheng with me this time precisely to solve all of your problems by killing that damn fly named Lin Fan!"
