Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 508 One Must Be Human

He Qiancheng choked up and couldn't continue...

Sincere sincerity was ultimately met with insatiable greed.

Upon hearing this, Qian Ping's face flushed red and then turned pale. "Hey, what do you mean?"

“What I mean is…” He Qiancheng raised his head, his eyes red, “I may not be a smart person, but I cannot be a rude person.”

Qian Ping vaguely sensed He Qiancheng's meaning and immediately adopted a haughty attitude, "He Qiancheng! What exactly do you want to say? What are you dawdling about? If you keep dawdling, you can forget about getting the marriage certificate!"

In the past, this statement would have been enough to put He Qiancheng in his place, but now, a firmness gradually seeped into He Qiancheng's bewildered gaze. "Then don't accept it. I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time."

Qian Ping's pupils dilated in shock. "He Qiancheng! Do you know what you're saying?! I'm giving you one last chance. Take back what you just said, or I'll never talk to you again if you ever come begging to me!"

He Qiancheng remained silent.

Qian Ping thought he had been intimidated, and a smug smile returned to her face. "That's right, Qiancheng, don't be impulsive. Didn't we agree on something? From now on, we'll live a good life together, and when Shengsheng grows up, he'll take care of us in our old age. Isn't that wonderful..."

“No need,” He Qiancheng interrupted her.

"Wh...what do you mean it's not necessary?" Qian Ping's tone finally showed a hint of panic.

“You can leave,” He Qiancheng said. “Take your father, your sister, and your brother with you. This is the end of our relationship. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I am a worthless person and not worthy of you. I am sorry for taking up your time.”

He Qiancheng humbled himself and apologized once again.

"You, surnamed He! You..." Qian Ping was caught off guard. How could the fool she had been holding so firmly in her grasp suddenly become sensible? "You, surnamed He! From now on, I... I won't like you anymore!"

The air momentarily froze.

"I just don't like you anymore..."

Her affection is a very important thing to him...

In the past, whenever she said that, he would immediately give in and agree to whatever she said.

However, this time, He Qiancheng only stared at her for a moment before turning around to face Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng. “Comrade Lin, Commander Gu, all the losses caused by Qian Ping’s family in the factory are ultimately my responsibility. It was my failure to distinguish between public and private matters, my foolishness and weakness that led to rifts among colleagues and damage to the factory’s reputation. I am willing to take full responsibility.”

"He Qiancheng!" Qian Ping's shrill scream came from behind.

But He Qiancheng never looked back.

Wei Zhonghua and Shen Hai exchanged a glance, and Wei Zhonghua immediately said, "In that case, let's all go into the conference room. Everyone is here today, so let's have a meeting to discuss what to do. That way, we'll have an agenda."

He Qiancheng now understood that Wei Zhonghua and Shen Hai had deliberately provoked him, and he couldn't help but give Wei Zhonghua a deep look.

Wei Zhonghua called everyone into the conference room, and when he turned around, Shen Hai was still in the same spot.

Qian Ping wanted to chase after him, but Shen Hai blocked her way.

Shen Hai's eyes were fierce at this moment, and coupled with the large scar on his face, he was quite intimidating.

Qian Ping was already both afraid of and disliked him, and at this moment she couldn't help but take two steps back, "You... what do you want to do?"

Shen Hai smiled and said, "Please leave."

When he laughed, the scars on his face twitched, making him even more frightening in Qian Ping's eyes.

But Qian Ping wouldn't leave. "I'm not leaving! Why should I leave? Tell He Qiancheng to come out! He Qiancheng, you come out here!"

"Not leaving?" Shen Hai waved, and two factory workers came out.

The two workers came over, one grabbing Qian Ping's father and the other carrying a snakeskin bag.

"He stole things! This is all the factory's stuff he stole!" The worker threw down the burlap sack, opened it, and inside were various raw materials from the factory—sugar, flour, oil, and so on.

Qian Ping was still unconvinced and screamed, "What right do you have...?"

"He said it himself, everything in the factory belongs to him!" said the worker who was grabbing the old man's money.

"Father, you..." Qian Ping was on the verge of tears.

"Call the police station and report that they've caught the thief." Shen Hai's face was stern.

Old Man Qian hadn't even realized what was happening yet. He was still convinced that he would soon become the owner of this factory, and he jumped up and down, cursing, "You little brats! What business is it of yours if I take things from my own factory! Be careful, or I'll fire you all! You all have to get out of here!"

Qian Ping continued screaming at the second-floor window, "He Qiancheng! He Qiancheng, come down here! Come down here!"

Lin Qingping stood by the window, glanced downstairs, and smiled slightly. She had clearly seen the exchange of glances between Wei Zhonghua and Shen Hai just now. The two of them were working together; one pulled He Qiancheng and everyone else away, while the other dealt with Qian Ping downstairs. They were quite in sync and had a good plan.

Qian Ping refused to leave, but Shen Hai wasn't in a hurry. He simply took out an account book from his handbag and handed it, along with the handbag, to a worker standing nearby. "When you call the police, hand over the account book. Someone is falsifying accounts."

Qian Ping's whole body stiffened.

Her brother sold inferior goods as superior ones, and the purchase price did not match the actual price...

"I...I..." Qian Ping began to stammer incoherently, "I didn't...I...I won't go to jail..."

She seemed to be suddenly provoked, turned around and ran, shouting, "I won't go to jail... I still need to raise my son! What will happen to Shengsheng if I go to jail? I won't go to jail!"

But it was too late; her arm was grabbed again.

Qian Ping screamed, "Help! Someone's committing indecent acts! Someone's committing indecent acts! Let me go!"

"Shut up!" came the woman's voice.

Qian Ping looked up and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoxiao!

Qian Ping was both angry and terrified, feeling like the sky had fallen. Seeing that she was really about to be taken to the police station, all her shouts for He Qiancheng were useless. Enraged, she yelled at Shen Hai, "You heartless bastard! Don't you all know where you're from, you country bumpkins! You think you can get away with this? Let me tell you, this is the capital! I'm from the hutongs of the capital! The hutong police station listens to me! They're all my relatives! You think you can get away with this? Take a piss and look at your own ugly scars! You're not even worthy! You're neither human nor ghost..."

She didn't get to say the words "ghost or not" because she received a hard slap across the face.

It was Zhong Xiaoxiao who made the call.

After being slapped, Qian Ping was stunned for a moment, then immediately started screaming and cursing again, "Why did you hit me? How dare you hit someone? I'll call someone to beat you to death, you out-of-towner... Ah—"

And then I got slapped again...

"That's exactly what I did!" Zhong Xiaoxiao exclaimed angrily. "Why did I hit you? Because of this scar on his face!"

Zhong Xiaoxiao pointed at Shen Hai.
