Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Dashan Must Be Ruined

Qin Lan made the final decision.

Zhao Leyao looked at Zhao Ding with despair in her eyes: "Dad, I’m also your daughter. Our Zhao Family isn’t so poor that we need to sell our children. How could you be so ruthless and let me marry an old man in his forties who killed his wife?"

She looked at her father with tears streaming down her face and questioning eyes.

Zhao Ding averted his gaze, frowned, and sighed: "Ah!"

"As long as you marry Director Zhang, your brother Qiqiang will be released. This is for the good of the Zhao Family. Your brother is the only male heir. You don’t want him to spend the rest of his life in prison while you enjoy wealth and comfort outside, do you? As his sister, can’t you sacrifice a little?"

As Zhao Ding spoke, he became more agitated, seeing the disappointment in Zhao Leyao’s eyes.

As a daughter of the Zhao Family, raised in luxury, why can’t she sacrifice for the family at this crucial moment?

Moreover, Director Zhang of the Wu’an Bureau is powerful. If this marriage is successful, not even ten Chen Dashans could shake the Zhao Family.

"Zhao Qiqiang, Zhao Qiqiang again!"

Zhao Leyao trembled all over, her voice rising sharply, her eyes blazing as she stared at Zhao Ding and Qin Lan: "Zhao Qiqiang has done so much evil and harmed so many people. Doesn’t he deserve legal punishment?"

"Why should I sacrifice my whole life for him? Just because I am your daughter? Or because my mother was blind enough to fall for you, leading you to seize my grandfather’s property and marry a malicious woman? So, my mother and I should both die, becoming sacrificial lambs for your family?"

Zhao Leyao spoke angrily.

This was her first time rebelling against Zhao Ding. For so many years, she always thought she wasn’t good enough, not outstanding enough, not obedient enough. She desperately wanted approval from her only remaining family. But in Zhao Ding’s eyes, there were only this mother and son. He never looked at her, even if she managed the company with her heart, even if her performance was outstanding. As long as Zhao Qiqiang was there, she would never be better than that fool.

She could accept being ignored and giving all the property to Zhao Qiqiang, but now they wanted to sacrifice her for life, to marry a man who was a beast in human skin—no!

"Slap!"

Zhao Ding slapped her hard. Her hair messy, she staggered back four or five steps before falling onto the sofa. She looked at Zhao Ding with a pitiful, cold smile, her eyes full of sarcasm and provocation.

"Old Zhao, don’t get angry, calm down, calm down!"

Qin Lan took the opportunity to step forward, holding Zhao Ding’s arms with fake concern, smiling coldly as she continued: "The child is still young and doesn’t understand. If you harm your health from getting angry, who would take care of us orphans and widowed mothers? Qiqiang and I can’t do without you!"

As she spoke, Qin Lan pretended to wipe the corner of her eye.

Zhao Ding added fuel to the fire, glaring at Zhao Leyao viciously.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

"Buzz buzz!"

Just as Zhao Ding was about to speak, the phone on the coffee table kept vibrating. Qin Lan glanced at it and smiled: "A call, let me see who it is."

In the living room, no one spoke. Zhao Ding was too furious to look at Zhao Leyao, and Zhao Leyao, with her head down, was lost in thought.

"What did you say?"

Qin Lan’s sharp voice interrupted their thoughts. Zhao Leyao lifted her head, seeing Qin Lan stomp in excitement as if she had won a whole day at mahjong, saying with delight: "Are you sure they’re all dead?"

"The woman is dead? Chen Dashan is dead too?"

Boom!

Zhao Leyao’s eyes widened, her head buzzing. Chen Dashan is dead?

This sentence kept replaying in her mind. She stared blankly at Qin Lan, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, this can’t be, how is this possible?"

"It’s impossible, he can’t be dead!"

Zhao Leyao muttered to herself, but Zhao Ding and Qin Lan didn’t care. Qin Lan hung up the phone. Zhao Ding immediately stepped forward and asked: "Is the news true? Is Chen Dashan really dead?"

"Those people saw it with their own eyes. How can it be false?"

Qin Lan was in a great mood, beaming as she looked at Zhao Ding: "They saw Chen Dashan fall into the Wei River in the suburbs with his car. You know how fast and deep the river’s water is. Now the car can’t be found. Do you think he could still be alive?"

"Good!"

"Excellent!" Zhao Ding clapped excitedly, his face flushed with joy.

He looked at Qin Lan with bright eyes: "With Chen Dashan dead, there’s no plaintiff, no evidence. Qiqiang is innocent. We’ll get a lawyer to counter-sue, claim that everything was orchestrated by Chen Dashan. Not only will he be dead, but his reputation will also be ruined."

"That’s a great idea!"

Qin Lan rubbed her hands excitedly. That bastard Chen Dashan loved to meddle. Now he and Zhao Yaqian died together, and their deaths could be fabricated in any way she and Zhao Ding wanted.

Qin Lan was jubilant, like it was New Year’s, clapping her hands: "Now, let’s contact Director Zhang from the Wu’an Bureau. We’re family; he won’t refuse to help. He can immediately order the Furong County police to release Qiqiang!"

Thinking of her son’s suffering during this time, Qin Lan gritted her teeth in hatred toward the Furong County police.

Zhao Ding nodded in agreement but soon frowned: "Now, we should contact the media, influencers, even reporters, and radio hosts. Use every connection to spread the news that Chen Dashan drowned in the Wei River while fleeing after a rape attempt."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Qin Lan nodded fervently, completely agreeing. She clapped her hands and swayed her hips as she went to make calls.

Zhao Ding frowned, pacing in the living room, afraid he might miss any detail. Chen Dashan must not have a burial place.

"Dad!"

Zhao Leyao shouted, her voice choked with sobs.

At this moment, Zhao Ding couldn’t hear her. His mind was full of thoughts on how to kill Chen Dashan, frame him afterward, and then release his son. Ideally, his son would take over Chen Dashan’s properties.

Watching Zhao Ding pacing back and forth, deeply concerned.

"Dad..."

Zhao Leyao raised her voice and shouted again.

Zhao Ding turned and saw his daughter sliding off the sofa onto the floor: "Bang!" on her knees, she pleaded: "Dad, I beg you to stop. Zhao Qiqiang deserves everything he’s done. He’s harmed so many people. You must know that. What did Chen Dashan do wrong? Why tarnish him even after his death? Our Zhao Family is already at the top in Furong County. Why are you still not satisfied? Why must you trample others and not let them fight back?"

"Stop?"

Qin Lan, holding her phone, rushed over angrily, glaring at Zhao Leyao: "Zhao Qiqiang deserves it? What kind of sister are you? Chen Dashan bullied your brother, and now you’re siding with someone else?"

"I think you should just wait to get married in the next few days. Don’t go anywhere!"
