Chapter 595 Negotiating with Qin Muchi

Chapter 595 Negotiating with Qin Muchi

When Jiang Ruan first came to him, he had no such intention. He even thought that if she was not confident in dealing with Qin Muchuan and Qin Luofeng, he would not testify in court.

So he said no at the time.

But when she came to see him the second time, she spoke very sincerely, which made him feel conflicted.

He wanted Qin Muchuan to fall from power.

This guy has been bullying him for so long.

But he was also afraid that Jiang Ruan would use tricks to trap him as well.

"You can tell me any concerns you have." Jiang Ruan noticed the hesitation behind his long silence and directly stated her terms, "Let's talk it over."

"I'll come see the old man tomorrow morning, and we'll talk when we meet," Qin Muchi said.

Jiang Ruan said "okay".

It was past 10 a.m. the next day.

Qin Muchi arrived.

He remained arrogant as always, and couldn't say anything nice to Old Master Qin.

No.

He sat in the courtyard chatting with the old man.

"You're really biased. You've been staying here ever since Qin An came back." Qin Muchi said casually, his tone also very bad. "It's been months already, and you still haven't gone back to the old house."

Grandpa Qin remained unmoved: "What are we going back to the old house for?"

Qin Muchi: "Do you know what's going on outside about the two of us brothers?"

"How should we pass it on?" Old Master Qin asked calmly.

"They say we've been picking up what Qin An didn't want all these years." Qin Muchi scoffed. "As soon as she came back, you gave her everything that belonged to her, and even came here specifically to keep things under control for her."

Old Master Qin and the old butler continued their chess game slowly, unmoved: "Didn't some people say the same thing about An'an back then? Why didn't she come to me to complain like you do?"

Qin Muchi: "What does she have to complain about?"

Old Master Qin put down the chess piece in his hand, turned his head to look at him, and said, "What do you think?"

"You're really not going back to the old house?" Qin Muchi tactfully changed the subject, knowing that continuing the conversation would only make him look bad. "Are you planning to stay with Qin An until you die?"

"The old man is, after all, your father. It's not appropriate to say that," the old butler reminded him.

Qin Muchi didn't care at all.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said.

In the past, Old Master Qin would definitely have been angry, but after what Jiang An said to him, he was mostly at peace and had become accustomed to such words.

He calmly placed a piece on the board: "It's nice here. I have people talking to me every day, unlike the old house, where there are only old friends and servants. You guys are nowhere to be seen."

“Everyone has their own things to do,” Qin Muchi retorted. “If we really revolved around you, you would say we’re neglecting our duties.”

“Qin Mo is busier than you all, but he comes back to see me every week.” Old Master Qin can tell who is good to him, and he is now more rational. “Jiang Ye loves to play, and he often talks to me.”

Qin Mu was speechless for a moment.

Grandpa Qin said calmly, "You and the eldest son don't even come as often as Yu Ke."

Qin Muchi: "Her coming is the same as my coming."

Old Master Qin glanced at him but ignored him.

"Since you don't like me, I won't get in your way." Qin Muchi stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it aside. "Where's Jiang Ruan? Where is she?"

Old Master Qin looked at him suspiciously, with a hint of wariness: "What do you want with her?"

"Your dear granddaughter asked me to testify for your daughter." Qin Muchi's tone was never pleasant, always carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. "Send your eldest son in."

Old Master Qin: "..."

The old butler: "..."

Old Master Qin: "Upstairs in the study."

Qin Muchi gave a soft chuckle and went upstairs. Just as he arrived at the main entrance of the villa, Tang Bai and Mo Mo invited him inside.

Upstairs study.

Jiang Ruan sat facing him.

Behind her were Tang Bai and Mo Mo.

Seeing how serious and formal she was, Qin Muchi leaned back on the sofa and glanced at Tang Bai and Mo Mo: "My niece really knows how to enjoy herself."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan didn't understand what he meant.

"With two handsome young men always by your side, isn't Huo Zhizhou jealous?" Qin Muchi said, crossing his legs and uttering vulgar words. "Qin An allows you to play like this."

“They are just my bodyguards and assistants,” Jiang Ruan said calmly.

"I understand." Qin Muchi smiled lewdly, his eyes never leaving Mo Mo and the other person. "Aren't bodyguards, assistants, and secretaries all the same?"

Jiang Ruan: "My two bodyguards have rather bad tempers."

Qin Muchi: "?"

What does this have to do with him?

It's not his.

“I couldn’t stop them from getting angry and threatening to hit someone.” Jiang Ruan kindly reminded them, “If you’re here to discuss business, we can continue. If not, the door is over there. Goodbye.”

"Are you threatening me?" Qin Muchi immediately expressed his displeasure.

Jiang Ruan: "A friendly reminder."

"Don't forget that you're the one who came to me." Qin Muchi got angry when he couldn't win the argument, and his eyes were filled with barely suppressed anger as he looked at Jiang Ruan. "If I don't give you the evidence, you'll be the one who suffers a loss."

"Don't you have one?" Jiang Ruan asked him calmly.

Qin Muchi frowned.

How could he possibly have that?

“If I don’t bring down my uncle and his gang this time, they’ll definitely start to wonder why I dared to oppose them.” Jiang Ruan casually made up a story to scare him, but her gentle words made her seem very credible. “It won’t be hard for them to figure out that you’ve been in contact with me.”

In short.

They pinned Qin Muchi there.

"Whether you provide evidence or not is your prerogative, and I have no right to force you," Jiang Ruan said calmly. "But if you lose the case, I won't help you even if Qin Muchuan targets you."

"Do you think I'm afraid?" Qin Muchi didn't immediately back down. "Qin Muchuan and I are brothers, after all. Even if he finds out, he won't do anything to me."

"In that case, the door is over there." Jiang Ruan gestured, "Take care, and don't bother seeing me out."

Qin Muchi's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

He wanted to get angry, and wanted to stand up, turn around, and leave.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

He has neither a son like Qin Mo or Qin Luofeng, nor a wife who stands by his side.

Jiang Ruan's cooperation was only due to his fear and worry.

"Mr. Qin, are your legs numb if you're not moving?" Tang Bai asked in a light and casual tone. "Do you need us to carry you out?"

Mo Mo: "No need."

Qin Muchi: "?"

Mo Mo said seriously, "I can carry him out with one hand."

As he spoke, Mo Mo walked towards him, looking as if she was about to pick him up and carry him out.

"Wait a minute." Qin Muchi finally restrained himself.

He began to realize that Jiang Ruan was no longer someone he could joke around with casually.

If she's unhappy, she might drag him down with her.

"I can give you the audio, but how can you guarantee that you won't get angry and hurt me after hearing it?" Qin Muchi asked directly; he was genuinely worried about this issue.

Jiang Ruan replied, "You can name your terms."

Qin Muchi thought about it for a while.

I couldn't think of anything usable.

Should we have the old man testify? Who knows if he'll favor them?

Ask Jiang Ruan for money? You need to be alive to spend money even if you have it.

"You've given me a handle," Qin Muchi could only say, "a handle that if you frame me, I can also put you in jail."

“Our boss is law-abiding and has no dirt on him,” Mo Mo was the first to speak.

Tang Bai continued, "You should know what kind of person the boss is. If she were the kind of person who didn't keep her word, she wouldn't have been talking to you for so long."

Mo Mo: "Yes."

Tang Bai analyzed: "Wouldn't it be more effective to just tell you directly, if you don't hand over the evidence, I'll tell Qin Muchuan that you betrayed him?"

Qin Muchi raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Jiang Ruan.

He had indeed thought Jiang Ruan would say that.

But after waiting for a long time, all he got was her explaining the consequences of not providing evidence, rather than a threat.
