Chapter 921: Chapter 911: Stabilizing the Home Front

Miss Wen, sorry to disturb you!

At the landlady’s house, Su Qing spoke very politely.

Hearing that, Wen Nanqing was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "You brat, cut the crap. You’re being polite to me now? You weren’t shy when you came to my house for free meals before.

How is Shen Yi? Is she feeling better?"

"Well, although Shen Yi hasn’t woken up yet, the doctor said it’s not serious, and all she needs now is rest. To tell you the truth, Miss Wen, I am here to ask you for help this time!" Su Qing said calmly, his voice steady, with not a hint of disturbance in his gaze, appearing gentle and cultivated. But the landlady instinctively sensed something awry.

It’s not the first day she knows Su Qing. They’ve been acquainted for more than a year, coupled with Shen Yi’s presence, she wasn’t as clear as Shen Yi about Su Qing’s personality, but had a general idea.

But at this moment, Su Qing gave her a dangerous feeling, like... a refined scoundrel.

After all, what normal person could remain so serene while their girlfriend is hospitalized and unconscious, as if it wasn’t happening at all? Yet Su Qing was exactly in that state.

Describing it in two words: ’calm’.

But calm in this situation itself represents danger, creating an eerie feeling.

"Look at you saying that, you don’t need to ask when you need my help. But let me ask you straight, does this matter have anything to do with Shen Yi?" Wen Nanqing asked.

Su Qing pondered for a moment before responding: "Sort of!"

"Then I’ll help, money if needed, effort too. Brother, to be honest, yesterday I went home with my brother and told my dad about it. Although my dad knows some big figures and could ask for help, the other side’s level is not low either. If you really want them to apologize or compensate more, that’s easy enough that they might arrange for Tang Tianyu to go abroad, ensuring he’ll stay harmless to you. But if you want him to get some real consequences... it’s tough because the other side will definitely protect their son to the end. What are you really thinking?

No worries, even if it’s to choose reconciliation, I think Shen Yi would understand!" Shen Yi said.

Because she understands the process of this matter and knows the other party’s background, resolving this issue indeed presents considerable difficulty. Unless either she or Wen Jingqi suffers an irreversible damage, only then her father would use his final assets to force those figures into a corner. Otherwise, this would likely be unattainable.

After all, although Shen Yi was injured in a car accident, it’s somehow controllable. Reaching Wen Family’s level, it’s imperative to keep some trump cards. There’s no point in expending them for Su Qing and Shen Yi, it’s hardly worth it.

"Miss Wen, I have my own ideas, I will reclaim justice myself, we’ll get what we can. Could you help me get in touch with Wen Big Brother?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing took a deep breath. As expected, Su Qing was still the Su Qing she knew: seemingly mild, yet easily stubborn, even hitting a dead end and refusing to turn back.

"My brother? I can, but don’t you have his contact information? Why do you need to..."

The landlady hadn’t finished her sentence when she met Su Qing’s half-smiling look, his smile penetrating.

"Little... Little Su, you..."

"No worries, Miss Wen, I have my own idea. Now I still need you to help me contact Wen Big Brother!"

"Alright, when?" Wen Nanqing silently swallowed.

"As soon as possible, preferably now, let’s meet here!" Su Qing tapped his fingers on the coffee table as he spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing nodded: "Alright, wait for me a moment!"

With that said, she took out her phone and, in front of Su Qing, contacted Wen Jingqi, notifying him to come over promptly for some urgent consultation!

After hanging up, the two fell into silence.

This was rather unusual regarding their relationship, given that they were quite familiar with each other, yet now it led to awkwardness.

Especially the landlady, who was sitting uneasily, not because she didn’t want to start a conversation, but because Su Qing exuded a faint oppressive atmosphere, terribly intimidating, like a coiled venomous snake right in front.

Seemingly calm, but ready to strike at any moment, she’d never seen Su Qing in this state, naturally feeling a bit tense.

The landlady stayed silent as Su Qing also didn’t speak, both trapped in mute silence as Su Qing rested his eyes at some point, mentally narrating his plan.

An hour later, Wen Jingqi arrived at the landlady’s house in his car.

"Brother, why are you here?" Wen Jingqi was surprised upon entering and seeing him.

"Brother, I had Miss Wen call you over. There are matters I need help with from you and Miss Wen." Su Qing said smilingly as he stood up.

"Oh, what? Isn’t this normal? Need help or not, but Little Su, I’m sorry. My dad said there isn’t really a good solution to this problem." Wen Jingqi said apologetically.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing shook his head: "No worries, Brother, I have my own way to handle it, no need to worry.

This time I’m here to ask Miss Wen and Brother for help with two things. First, Miss Wen, you have a lot of houses in Jiang City, right? In the suburbs, could you free up a villa for me? I plan to let my parents stay there. There was an incident at home last night, now it’s a mess, so I need to find a safe place!"

"What? Little Su, your home..." Wen Jingqi exclaimed.

Su Qing nodded: "Tang Tianyu hired someone for it, luckily everyone’s alright!"

Then he briefly explained last night’s events.

After listening, the landlady immediately declared: "No problem, Brother. I don’t have much, just a lot of houses, I’ll arrange one for your parents right away, ensuring satisfaction."

"Hey? What about me?" Wen Jingqi chimed in.

Su Qing looked at Wen Jingqi and said: "Brother, Tang’s methods are somewhat despicable. I must develop some protection abilities. I have money but don’t know how to spend it. Do you know any security companies, professionals to protect me and my family’s safety?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jingqi immediately understood why Su Qing called him over. Indeed, Su Qing has barely been established for not even a year now.

Compared to Wen Family, Su Qing’s essentially a nouveau riche, whose greatest disadvantage is lack of insight. Sometimes, with money, one still remains clueless, finding no professional avenue.

"This won’t be a problem. I do know a company specializing in security, the bodyguards are all professionals. Guns aren’t allowable domestically, but they suffice for security. The price isn’t cheap, but with your financial strength, there should be no issue at all." Wen Jingqi guaranteed, thumping his chest.

"Then please help me contact them, Brother. As for money, could you advance it for me first? Due to certain reasons, I can’t act excessively yet!" Su Qing said.

Although Wen Jingqi didn’t comprehend Su Qing’s reasoning, he readily agreed without hesitation, unconcerned of any monetary issues.

After all, Wen Jingqi has a rough idea of Su Qing’s assets; these amounts are trivial for him.

"No worries, I’ll arrange it right away. Brother, when do you need them?"

"Now, the sooner the better. I’m even willing to pay extra, but by tomorrow, I want someone in front of me. Additionally, brother, could you arrange some people to guard around the hospital ward tonight, ensuring no pests disturb my parents!"

Desiring those assurances, Wen Jingqi agreed without hesitation as these were minor matters for him.

Though Su Qing was wealthy, he’s young, lacking experience, and lacking exposure, whereas Wen Jingqi’s different. Being over forty, nearly of the same generation as Senior Su, coupled with privileged familial conditions, he’d seen much and experienced much, offering no challenge here.

Once everything was settled, Su Qing swiftly stood up, slightly bowed towards the two, expressing gratitude. This startled them, instinctively shying away, insisting it’s not needed, they should do it.

Watching Su Qing entering the elevator, the door closing, Wen Jingqi instinctively spoke:

"Sis, Little Su... seems different, somewhat fearsome!"

"Hmm? Brother, you felt that too? I thought it was just me!" the landlady answered, a bit surprised.

On hearing this, Wen Jingqi shook his head: "Not really. Although I don’t know what happened to Little Su, right now... he’s dangerous. His caution suggests something significant is looming!"

"Something significant? Surely not taking advantage of Tang Tianyu being alone and slashing his throat?" the landlady jokingly remarked.

But Wen Jingqi’s face remained serious:

"Who can say for sure? Anyway... let’s just watch for now!"
