The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 784: A Blessing in Disguise Amid Misfortune

Chen Bin had just finished the meeting and was planning to drive home when suddenly a figure dashed out at the intersection.

Frightened, he immediately slammed on the brakes and prepared to question the person.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you rushing towards my car?"

Gan Qiu promptly stepped forward, with a face full of apologies, saying.

"Minister Chen, I'm really sorry. I didn't intend to stop you this way, mainly because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Bin directly asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Gan Qiu, Mayor of Tianhe City..."

Hearing this, Chen Bin immediately began to raise the car window.

Gan Qiu quickly reached out to block the gap, and when his fingers got caught, he grimaced in pain.

Even so, he still pleaded bitterly.

"Minister Chen, I want to talk to you about Gan Luo's matter. Please give me a chance."

Chen Bin had ignored the other party for three days, and seeing he was about ready, he finally said.

"Alright, get in the car."

Gan Qiu immediately retracted his hands and opened the car door to sit in the passenger seat.

At a secluded parking lot, he spoke with a face full of respect.

"Minister Chen, everything was Gan Luo's fault. He shouldn't have hit you. As his father, it's my failure to educate him properly. Considering his young age, please forgive him this time."

Chen Bin coldly asked, "How old is your son this year?"

"Thirty-two."

"He's almost as old as me, and you say he's young? From Gan Luo, I can tell you often flaunt your power in Tianhe; otherwise, he wouldn't be like this."

"I reflect on it; this is indeed my mistake. As long as you're willing to let Gan Luo go, I'll definitely teach him a lesson when we get back."

Chen Bin said nothing, just gently tapping the steering wheel with his hand.

The rhythmic sound echoed in the car, making Gan Qiu increasingly nervous.

If Chen Bin was unwilling to let Gan Luo go, what would he do?

At this moment, Chen Bin's voice slowly rang out.

"If you're coming as the mayor, I definitely won't let Gan Luo off. After all, anyone who breaks the law will face the corresponding punishment. But considering you're a father, I've decided to forgive him this time."

Hearing this, Gan Qiu secretly sighed in relief.

Bowing repeatedly to Chen Bin, "Thank you, Minister Chen! Once that boy is released, I'll personally bring him to apologize to you."

Then, Gan Qiu took out a bank card from his bag.

"This card contains a million. It's compensation for your medical expenses and mental suffering. Please accept it, Minister Chen."

"I can take the money, but you need to write a statement proving that it's your compensation to me."

Normally, Chen Bin didn't openly accept money from others, but after this beating, he naturally should.

However, he needed to make Gan Qiu clarify the situation to avoid being accused of bribery later, which would be troublesome.

"No problem, I'll write it now."

Without any hesitation, Gan Qiu immediately took out paper and pen from his bag.

According to Chen Bin's instructions, he clarified the purpose of the million.

And at the bottom, he signed his name and the date.

Finally, fearing Chen Bin wasn't convinced, he specifically produced his seal and pressed a handprint.

After checking the statement to ensure no issues, Chen Bin began to speak.

"Get out, your son will be back before the new year."

"Thank you, Minister Chen. Your kindness I won't forget."

After getting out, Gan Qiu immediately called Bao Kanglu.

He said he gave Chen Bin a million, and the other party agreed to release Gan Luo.

Upon hearing this, Bao Kanglu seemed very surprised.

In his view, a million was nothing in Chen Bin's eyes.

This time, Chen Bin actually agreed to let it go, indicating things weren't simple.

But thinking carefully, he still couldn't understand Chen Bin's intentions.

Soon after, Gan Luo was released the night before the new year.

While in custody, he was perpetually fearful and looked considerably older.

Even at his prime age, he had a few strands of gray hair.

After returning to Tianhe, Gan Qiu and his wife were deeply saddened by their son's pitiful state.

But no matter what, just having him back was a blessing amidst misfortune.

The family's sorrow didn't last long and was soon drowned by the new year's joy.

One day, after dinner, Gan Qiu called Gan Luo to the study upstairs.

"Tell me, why did you hit Chen Bin?"

Gan Qiu was very curious about this matter, but Gan Luo hadn't been in good spirits recently, so he hadn't asked.

Now that the latter had recovered, he intended to understand the situation clearly.

Gan Luo sighed and explained the events.

Gan Qiu was surprised, "Your reason for hitting him was because Chen Bin is Bao Shanshan's new boyfriend?"

"Yeah, I really couldn't accept Shanshan being with another man, so in a moment of impulse, I hit him."

During his time in custody, Gan Luo felt that his actions for a woman who doesn't love him were utterly unworthy.

But now being out, his thoughts immediately changed.

He felt Bao Shanshan was his girlfriend and Chen Bin the intruder. Why should he back down?

Moreover, to bail him out, his family paid a whole million.

Had he known this, he would have punched Chen Bin a few more times.

After pondering for a moment, Gan Qiu slowly spoke.

"Bao Shanshan and Chen Bin have probably been involved for a while. They deliberately did this to teach you a lesson and stop you from pestering her."

Nodding, Gan Luo agreed greatly with this idea.

"I don't know if they've been planning long, but I can be sure they're definitely together."

Thinking that Chen Bin not only took his girlfriend but also got him jailed, Gan Luo couldn't help but clench his fists.

Despite Chen Bin's leniency, Gan Qiu didn't feel grateful to him.

Thinking about his son being cuckolded only added a touch of hatred to his heart.

But no matter how angry he was, it wouldn't change anything, especially since Chen Bin was part of the Provincial Committee.

For him to become Tianhe's top official, he needed Chen Bin's vote.

Moreover, given Chen Bin's status, Gan Qiu wasn't in a position to offend him.

He could only swallow this resentment.

"Now that you see Bao Shanshan's true self, stop pestering her. With our family's standing, we can find any kind of woman, no need to fixate on her."

"I've understood, after this incident, I'll definitely draw the line with Bao Shanshan. I won't seek her out anymore."

Though he said so, Gan Luo wasn't truly resigned.

Like any playboy, he's been with over a hundred women, if not eighty.

The more easily attainable ones never mattered to him.

On the contrary, those like Bao Shanshan, who repulsed him, made him want to conquer even more...
