Nan Chen remained silent. Ouyang Qing was the culprit who gave the order to poison Erbao. Shedeserved to be punished for that.

He did not expect that underneath Ouyang Qing's innocent appearance lies a vicious woman. It wasinhumane of her to hurt even a child.

She was born into a great family and was well educated, yet she would stoop so low to hurt aninnocent child. “You should know that I never liked you,” said Nan Chen.

“I know.” Ouyang Qi nodded. “If you can let my father and my family members go, I can agree to allyour conditions, even if you want me dead.” “Dead?”

“Yes. I know they have crossed the line this time, and it's impossible for you to forgive them over anapology. That's why I'm willing to agree to all your conditions, even if you want me to trade my lifein exchange for their freedom. Just a word from you and I'll replace a tall building to jump down fromright away. I am willing to atone for their sins with my life, and I hope you can agree with it,” saidOuyang Qi.

Nan Chen looked at Ouyang Qi and remained silent. Ouyang Qi continued, “I know you don't likeme and don't trust me. How about this? Once you agree, we can replace a building together, and youcan watch me hop down from the rooftop. If I dare refuse to jump, you can get your men to throwme off the building.”

“Unlike your father, I don't kill people,” said Nan Chen coldly.

“I know, so I am doing this willingly. Don't worry. You won't be implicated. I'll mention this in mywill.”

Nan Chen turned around. “Mr. Chai, bring us my grandpa's sleeping pills. I want the whole bottle ofit.”

“Understood.”

Chai Hua grasped the message in his words and quickly brought him the bottle of sleeping pills.Nan Chen placed the bottle before Ouyang Qi and remained silent.

"Great. I only have one request. You must let my mother and sister go. Also, replace me a nicegraveyard and bury me there. I don't want stray dogs picking at my body,” said Ouyang Qi.

Still, Nan Chen remained silent.

Ouyang Qi opened the bottle lid and poured half of the sleeping pills into his mouth. He munchedthe pills loudly and took a glass of water before taking a sip and swallowing them in one gulp.

The scene startled Nan Chen.

From what he remembered, Ouyang Qi had always been an unsophisticated playboy who knewnothing but to enjoy his life lavishly.

To his surprise, the same unsophisticated playboy actually had the gall to stand up and save theOuyang family from being crushed entirely.

At first, Nan Chen thought Ouyang Qi was only bluffing about trading his life in exchange for hisfamily. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Qi meant every word he uttered.

“Will I suffer in pain after taking the pills? Or will I die in my sleep?” Ouyang Qi looked at Nan Chen.“I'm not sure,” said Nan Chen.

"Anyway, I hope you keep your promise. I won't leave this place or go to the hospital. Instead, I willstay here so that you can confirm I'm dead. Then, you must let my family go.”

"Aren't you afraid of death?”

“I am. In fact, I'm scared stiff right now, but there's no other option left for me. I've always been themost useless in our family, and I have never done anything for them. So, I figured I could dosomething for them before I die. Can you give me a bottle of wine? That will help me boost mycourage. You know, I am indeed afraid of death,” said Ouyang Qi.

"Aren“t you afraid that you'd die for nothing?”

"Well, I trust you. Since you promised to let my family go, I know you will keep your word.”

“The thing is, I haven't promised you that,” said Nan Chen coldly.

“Then how could you let me take the pills? Nan Chen, I thought you were a man of your word.That's why I trusted you, but you set me up instead. I need to call an ambulance now. I can't die fornothing!” Ou Yangqi panicked.

“Forget it. Those pills are just vitamins. You won't die, so don't bother causing a scene,” said NanChen.

"What? Are you messing with me?”

"Did you really think I won't be held responsible if you die in my house? Ouyang Qi, it's useless foryou to do this. As I said before, Ouyang Duo has broken the law and must face punishment. I'msurprised someone like you actually has the courage to do this at such a critical time. You may leavenow and settle your family’s mess. From what I had gathered, your mom was aware of what OuyangDuo did, but she didn't participate. Ill replace someone to try and get her released on bail. As forOuyang Qing, I won't let her go free for what she has done to my daughter. It's the same forOuyang Duo. He almost killed me, and there's no way I'd let him go that easily. You don't have todie, so you can go and pick up your mom. That's the most I can allow. Don't bother negotiating withme for the others, for I will never agree!” said Nan Chen.

“Nan Chen..."

Nan Chen waved his hand and gestured at Chai Hua, saying, “Mr. Chai, send the guest out.”

Chai Hua looked at Ouyang Qi. “Let's go. It's useless for you to keep making a scene here.”

Albeit unwilling, Ouyang Qi stood up and was about to take off the coat Nan Chen had given himearlier when the latter stopped him.

“Keep it. It's cold outside. Your father was wrong to look down on you before. I hope you can revivethe Ouyang family and Sunshine Corporation again. Also, I have one more thing to remind you of.I'm short-selling many companies under Sunshine Corporation. At the same time, I notice manyfunds are coming in from buying Sunshine Corporation's shares. I think you understand what thatmeans,” said Nan Chen.

"Are you saying someone else is bottom-fishing and trying to acquire Sunshine Corporation?” Sureenough, Ouyang Qi was not only a wastrel that knew nothing about the business world.

“You can judge the situation yourself. I'm only reminding you of this. You may leave now.” Nan Chenwaved a dismissive hand.

“Nan Chen, thank you for letting my mother go, but we can no longer be friends,” said Ouyang Qi."We were never friends, to begin with. So stop wasting your breath saying this nonsense. Leave.”With that, Nan Chen turned his wheelchair around and started toward the dining hall.

It was time to eat.

Nan Zhengde had the servants prepare a table full of dishes. He was in the mood to celebrateNanshi Corporation surviving the crisis.

“Chen, what were you talking about with Ouyang Qi back there? The Ouyang family is our enemynow. He will soon take his revenge on us, so why would you even bother talking to him?” Nan Xingasked.

“I'm really impressed by Ouyang Qi. I didn’t expect him to do that,” said Nan Chen.

“Chen is right. Ouyang Qi is seen as the prodigal son by everyone else, yet he performed well insuch a critical time,” Nan Zhengde agreed.

"He's not that good. Stop trying to boost his image when he's still as useless as before,” Nan Xingdisagreed

“Perhaps he was bluffing when he offered his life to atone for their sins because he knew I wouldn'tlet him die. But then again, it's worth applauding that he had the courage to come to the Nanresidence and plead with us. Also, he never participated in Ouyang Duo’s wrongdoings. This isenough to prove that he’s a man with principles. Who knows? He may become our biggest rival inthe future,” said Nan Chen.

“I agree. I think he has a promising future. You're the most outstanding one among the youngergeneration, and other kids are nowhere comparable to you. That's why I believe you need morecompetitors to keep you alert. You can only strike better under pressure. So, we must not letOuyang Duo's wrongdoings implicate Ouyang Qi.” Nan Zhengde nodded in agreement.

“Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me staying idle. I noticed recently that someone elsecould become my competitor,” said Nan Chen.

“Really? Are you referring to the person that has been secretly purchasing Sunshine Corporation'sshares?”
