My Life with Narration

Chapter 576 - 567: Qingzi... I Don’t Have a Dad Anymore

To be honest, if he were to take on Zhang Chao, this little second-generation rich kid now, he really had no interest. After all, he neither had money nor power, so why bother with him?

Other than giving him a beating, Su Qing really didn’t know what else he could do.

Moreover, even if he did hire someone to beat him up, spent some money, so what? It’s not like he could kill him.

Especially since he’s now Jiang City’s criminal investigation consultant, he knows very well how seriously the police would investigate if there’s a fatality. After all, he doesn’t have a strong official background, it’s not worth it.

Compared to Zhang Chao’s family, his advantage is having more money and strong connections, so of course, he should take advantage of that.

Isn’t Zhang Chao’s family in business, don’t they run restaurants and supermarkets? How hard could it be to mess with someone who has tangible assets?

Being in an advantageous position, he’s the one with nothing to lose, the direction is clear.

You run a restaurant, I’ll find someone to mess with your restaurant. You run a supermarket, I’ll find someone to mess with your supermarket.

Actually, he could do this himself, but he wouldn’t do it well, after all, he could only hire some people to cause trouble every day.

But Wen Jingqi is different, he’s experienced in this area. He can not only find people to cause trouble, disrupt the Zhang Family’s business, but also use some connections to investigate them officially.

For example, having the restaurant fail health inspections or the supermarket lacking fire extinguishers, having fire hazards, using multiple tactics together, how long can someone with physical assets withstand?

Just one health code violation could shut you down, force you to suspend operations and rectify.

In a society ruled by law, competition also has to be within the rules. If it’s illegal, unless you have a strong enough backing, you’ll eventually be caught.

He could develop financially, but in terms of backing, especially official background, he didn’t have much of a solution, but even so, it should be enough for Zhang Chao’s family.

He could spend money, hire people long-term to cause trouble, not hit anyone, not break the law, just go cause trouble. The money wasn’t much for him, but a restaurant or supermarket couldn’t withstand it.

After all, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for Wen Jingqi, compared to dealing with a company, it’s just not on the same level.

In the end, Zhang Chao was still a little guilty, though he remained defiant in words, his body was honest, and he was eventually pulled away by Ning Tong.

As they were leaving, Wang Xing made a sarcastic remark, suggesting that Zhang Chao check if it’s really his offspring, which almost made Zhang Chao jump in anger.

"Damn, I spit~ Pretending to be something special." Wang Xing spat in the direction where Zhang Chao and Ning Tong left, then turned to him with a smile and asked, "Qingzi, do you think the child in Ning Tong’s belly might really not be that bastard’s?

If that’s the case, I’d be so happy, I really hope the plot gets even more dramatic."

Su Qing shook his head in response, "If only that were the case, but I don’t think there’s much hope. Ning Tong doesn’t seem like the kind of woman with low intelligence, but it’s nice to get Zhang Chao a little uncomfortable."

Though he, like Wang Xing, hoped for more drama in the story, the narrator told him that the child is indeed Zhang Chao’s.

Thinking about it, it made sense, after all, the narrator analyzed Ning Tong’s personality; she’s a very realistic and smart woman.

Since she chose to marry in her best years, she wouldn’t create a problem for herself just for some thrill. If she really hadn’t had enough fun, she just wouldn’t have gotten married.

Only women with lower intelligence would think they could do something like this without their husband suspecting anything.

Honestly, he’s already been familiar with the saying "there are all kinds of people in the forest" in recent years, just casually browsing online could reveal bizarre comments.

Like, long-distance college couples, where the woman finds another boyfriend at her own school and gets pregnant. Instead of thinking about getting an abortion, she thinks about how to make her boyfriend not suspect the child isn’t his.

Could a carbon-based life form come up with this idea? Anyway, when he saw this news, he was shocked, feeling his annoyance with stupidity flare up again.

You’d think their intelligence wasn’t high, but they went to college, so you can see that intelligence isn’t directly related to education level.

"Qingzi... I’ve troubled you again!" Ding Qiang said solemnly.

Hearing this, Su Qing shook his head, "You’re overthinking it. Zhang Chao is coming at me this time, it’s got nothing to do with you, old A can testify."

"That’s right, Qiang, it’s true. You don’t know, last year when Zhang Chao got married, he wanted to disgust Qingzi, so he especially invited us two over, only Qingzi invited Boss Shen that day, um, his rich girlfriend now, who tore up the wedding scene, it was really satisfying to watch, the grudge between the two just grew larger." Wang Xing explained from the side.

To be honest, after this incident, the pressure in Ding Qiang’s heart was greatly reduced.

"By the way Qingzi, are you really planning to take action against Zhang Chao’s family?" asked Qin Wei worriedly from the side.

Hearing this, Wang Xing and Ding Qiang both looked over as well, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Seeing this, Su Qing smiled and waved his hand, "It’s fine, I know what I’m doing. At most, I’ll just spend some money, and besides, it’s not illegal. At most, it’s malicious competition. It’s all business, how can it be illegal? It’s just about who has more money and who can outlast the other. In a law-abiding society, I’ve just gotten rich, haven’t even enjoyed it yet, how could I do something so stupid."

Hearing him say this, the three clearly breathed a sigh of relief, they were just afraid Su Qing might think he was rich and act on impulse, doing something with serious consequences.

"Let’s go, let’s go see Auntie, and later send Uncle into the operating room."

"Okay!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Zhang Chao left, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Su Qing was actually planning to mess with his family’s business right in front of him.

In the past, if he heard something like that, he’d only consider it a joke, but now he couldn’t be careless, mainly because Su Qing is now a changed man.

After thinking it over, he decided to call his dad.

"Hey Dad, over here..."

He then recounted what Su Qing did over the phone, of course, embellishing himself and portraying Su Qing as someone who becomes arrogant when successful.

However, Zhang Chao’s dad didn’t take it seriously at all after hearing his son’s call. What does he care about a social media influencer, having been in the game for so many years, he’s not going to be bluffed by a young guy with just a phone call.

Moreover, who knows if that call is even real?

But despite this, he still scolded his son because he knew all too well his son’s character.

After the prenatal check-up, Zhang Chao and his wife hurriedly left the hospital.

At the same time, Ding Qiang’s father, Ding Dashan was also wheeled into the operating room as everyone watched.

Ding~

As the light outside the operating room turned on, Ding Qiang’s mom signed with trembling hands, and the operation began.

During the first two hours, everything was calm. Ding Qiang’s mom sat trembling on the floor, hands clasped together, praying for a miracle.

But indeed, the heavens did not favor this ordinary person. By the third hour, nurses were occasionally running out from the operating room, looking urgent and responding to questions with silence.

This dragged on until the fifth hour, by which time everyone had been waiting outside anxiously without any appetite.

Finally, under their watchful eyes, the surgical light went off. The chief surgeon came out, bowed to them, and said,

"I’m sorry, we did our best."

With these words, even those who had prepared for the worst felt their hearts sink. Ding Qiang’s mother broke down crying on the spot, collapsing to the floor, and everyone rushed to support her.

The surgery had failed; Ding Qiang’s father had still passed, just as the narrator had suggested.

Finally, everyone helped Ding Qiang’s mom into the operating room. With the person gone, she had to at least see him one last time.

During this time, Ding Qiang’s expression remained extremely calm, he didn’t cry nor did he seem to be unable to accept it, he appeared almost as if he was an outsider.

Yet his trembling body betrayed him.

Seeing his state, Su Qing put an arm around his shoulders and told him that his buddies were still here for him.

After a long while, Ding Qiang finally spoke, trembling,

"Qingzi... I... don’t have a father anymore!"
