Chapter 274: I Can Save You, and I Can Also Destroy You

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: I Can Save You, and I Can Also Destroy You

Everyone in the Canglan Family was trembling with fear.

Only after truly witnessing the might of the Northern Domain Night Emperor did they realize how naive they had been.

Fourth Uncle Cang hid far back in the crowd.

He was scared out of his wits.

The other members of the Canglan Family all had their heads bowed.

Not a single one dared to meet Qin Tianxuan’s gaze!

Just then, a trembling Cang Bingyan stepped forward. "I’m sorry. I was wrong. I arranged all of this. It has nothing to do with my family!"

Qin Tianxuan scoffed. "I want to speak with the Canglan Family. Can you represent them?"

Cang Bingyan’s face flushed red.

Of course she couldn’t represent the family. Just moments ago, her own family members had nearly dragged her away.

But now, as the only daughter of the Canglan Family, she had no choice but to step forward.

"Fourth Uncle has been terrified by you. There’s no one else here who can make decisions. Only I can."

Qin Tianxuan stood with his hands behind his back. "Very well. Listen up, Canglan Family. Release Cang Bufan at once. I’ve said it before, he is my friend!"

Cang Bingyan frantically turned around. "Quick, release my older brother! Bring him here at once!" ℴ

The members of the Canglan Family kept their heads bowed. No one spoke, and no one moved.

Cang Bingyan shouted several more times, but the scene remained deathly silent.

Qin Tianxuan shook his head. "It seems you can’t represent the Canglan Clan after all."

From the back of the crowd, Fourth Uncle Cang mustered his courage and shouted, "The Canglan Family is still a family from the Imperial Capital! You can’t just force us to do things!"

The people of the Canglan Clan all nodded in agreement.

They were still basking in the glory of being a prominent Imperial Capital family and couldn’t swallow this insult.

Qin Tianxuan fell silent.

Cang Bingyan, who now understood this man’s temperament, turned around angrily. "Fourth Uncle, are you trying to get the entire family killed? Can our Canglan Family possibly stand against the Night Emperor? Stop being so stubborn!"

Fourth Uncle Cang’s face was grim as he continued to cower in the corner. "I admit, we can’t afford to provoke the Northern Domain Night Emperor. But can’t we at least hide from him? Does the Canglan Family need an outsider’s permission to deal with its own members?"

A soft chuckle was heard.

Qin Tianxuan raised his hand slightly. "Men!"

The Night Emperor’s subordinates appeared in unison, bowing and shouting, "Your subordinates are here!"

"Ransack the Canglan Family’s Jin City office for me!"

The entire crowd was aghast!

Fourth Uncle Cang was incredulous. "What right do you have?"

What right?

With a SHWISH, Qin Tianxuan produced a document. "Not long ago, in my private capacity, I provided the Canglan Family with thirty billion in funds to overcome its crisis! According to my agreement with Cang Bufan, all of the Canglan Family’s assets are collateral! You think I can’t touch a mere Jin City office?"

What!?

The hidden benefactor who had lent the family thirty billion... was actually... him?

A buzzing sound filled Fourth Uncle Cang’s head. He knew it was all over.

Ever since the family had encountered unprecedented difficulties, forcing them to the point of selling off their assets, that thirty-billion-dollar bailout had been their last lifeline!

And even that last lifeline was in this man’s hands.

No wonder. No wonder Qin Tianxuan had been so disdainful of the Canglan Family from the very beginning.

"Mr. Qin, M-Mr. Qin, we... we can talk about this! I’ll have them release Cang Bufan right now! We’ll all kneel and apologize to you!"

Fourth Uncle Cang was truly panicking now. He scrambled over from the back, and with a THUD, he fell to his knees at Qin Tianxuan’s feet.

He hammered his forehead into the ground repeatedly. "Please, don’t take away this life-saving money! If our family loses this money, we’re really finished."

With the debts the Canglan Family owed, they wouldn’t be able to pay them all off even if they sold every one of the family’s assets.

They might even have to sell the ancestral home.

’Becoming homeless?’

’How would that be any different from being beggars?’

Behind Fourth Uncle Cang, a large crowd of people dropped to their knees.

Cang Bingyan’s eyes were vacant, and her whole body felt weak.

She was numb.

So the one who truly controlled her family’s destiny wasn’t one of the high-and-mighty elders, but the man standing before her, whom she had once looked down on.

Slowly, she knelt as well.

This time, she submitted with all her heart.

Qin Tianxuan looked down at them and said coolly, "That money is something I will only discuss with Cang Bufan. Also, Cang Bingyan must fulfill her contract. If she can’t pay back the money, she has to come with me!"

Fourth Uncle Cang hammered his forehead into the ground repeatedly. "No problem! Everything will be according to the contract! You can do whatever you want with Cang Bingyan! Whatever you want her to do is fine!"

The members of the Canglan Family all misunderstood.

They thought Qin Tianxuan had taken an interest in Cang Bingyan.

Even the young lady of the Cang Family panicked internally: ’Oh no, he must be trying to get revenge on me. Is he going to make me do... that? Is it just because I used to be Luo Qilin’s fiancée? Is he doing this on purpose?’

Qin Tianxuan then patted Fourth Uncle Cang’s pale face. "Remember this: if I can save the Canglan Family, I can just as easily destroy it. Don’t be so goddamn stupid next time! Now, get lost!"

Scared shitless, Fourth Uncle Cang scurried away with his people. A short while later, Cang Bufan was brought over.

The former Heaven-Suppressing King was a disheveled and exhausted mess.

When he saw Qin Tianxuan, his fierce eyes welled with tears. "The family has abandoned me. If you hadn’t stepped in, Brother Tianxuan, I really don’t know what would have become of me."

Qin Tianxuan smiled. "Like I said, we became friends through fighting. Since we’re brothers, there’s no need for formalities."

Cang Bufan smiled in relief and knelt solemnly. "From this day forward, I, Cang Bufan, am no longer the Heaven-Suppressing King, but one of your subordinates. Please grant me this opportunity."

"We’ll talk about that later."

Having resolved the matter at Brocade Mansion, Qin Tianxuan was also a bit tired. After making a few arrangements, he immediately rushed back to the First-Grade Myriad Phenomena Villa.

It seemed quite a few guests had arrived at the villa.

Joyful voices and laughter could be heard from inside.

As he entered, he saw the Little Divine Doctor, Gu Qingzhi, preparing medicine inside.

Qin Tianxuan was surprised. "Qingzhi, what are you doing here?"

Gu Qingzhi and Chuchu had been in Jinling, taking care of his subordinates’ businesses.

"Brother Qin, I haven’t been idle these past few days. I found a possible way to restore Sister Weiwei’s memory!" Gu Qingzhi said proudly.

Qin Tianxuan laughed. "Her memory doesn’t really matter now. I’m already preparing to marry Weiwei!"

Just as he was speaking, another crisp laugh came from outside, along with the arrogant CLACK-CLACK of high heels.

"Brother-in-law, I’m here to cheer you on! I came on the private jet you sent. Quick, let me see adorable Niannian! I’m her auntie, you know!"

Qin Tianxuan’s head started to ache.

’That unruly and sexy little sister-in-law is here too?’
