Mo Deqiang was stunned.
Mr. Gong was even more angry, and said to Mo Deqiang, "Mr. Mo, you heard it too, right? It’s not that I don’t give you face, but this girl is too bullying. Look at my son, he already had only one leg left, and yet they broke it. If it were you, could you swallow this?"
Mo Deqiang glanced at Gong Yuping and furrowed his brow.
Around them, the villagers saw the local tyrant speaking in such a low voice to a middle-aged man and couldn’t help but gossip.
"Yes, he must be someone significant to make Mr. Gong speak so humbly."
"No wonder Yang Wen is so aggressive, she really has a powerful backup."
In the midst of all this, Mo Deqiang automatically filtered out the surrounding voices. Thinking of the message his daughter had sent him, he knew he had to side with Qin Yanyang today.
Therefore, he gave Mr. Gong a look and said, "Daqian, your son was wrong first, so apologize to Miss Qin quickly."
Mr. Gong was shocked that even with his son in such a state, Mo Deqiang was still speaking for the other side. Anger and fury clouded his expression, turning it the color of liver.
But he was clearly aware that the Mo Family was not something he could afford to provoke.
Since even Mr. Mo was so respectful to this woman, she must be of significant importance; he would have to properly inquire about her later.
After much consideration, Mr. Gong decided to keep the peace.
Now that Mo Deqiang himself was present, he had to give that respect.
"I have said it, the Gong Family must disappear from Huangyang County," Qin Yanyang spoke again, her tone cold.
Mr. Gong was about to apologize, but could not believe how aggressive the other party was, and couldn’t help but retort angrily, "Girl, don’t think I am truly afraid of you. If it weren’t for Mr. Mo’s sake, I wouldn’t let your son’s issue go so easily!"
Mo Deqiang also felt that Qin Yanyang was being somewhat unreasonable, so he gave a slight cough and said, "Miss Qin, there might be some misunderstanding here; how about we downsize the issue for the sake of my face? Let’s not harm the harmony between both sides."
Qin Yanyang glanced at him, her face showing dissatisfaction, "Such a trivial matter and Yinping couldn’t resolve it. It seems the Mo Family’s influence in Xiangxi State isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Fine, the Mo Family doesn’t need to bother with this matter anymore."
Having said this, she took out her phone.
Upon hearing this, Mo Deqiang’s expression changed, feeling a bit displeased.
He had not expected Qin Yanyang to be so resolute, not giving him any face at all.
The Mo Family’s status in Xiangxi State was not ordinary, and even though she came from Imperial City, she was here seeking the Mo Family’s help to mediate the conflict; yet, she was so arrogant, which was indeed a bit too much.
As Qin Yanyang took out her phone, preparing to make a call, she was suddenly startled.
She felt a gaze on her face.
That was Yang Fei’s view.
Damn it! The rightful source is novęlfire.net
She had almost forgotten about this.
In his heart, she was just a teacher at Binhai University, the young lady of the Qin Family.
If one phone call revealed her too formidable, wouldn’t he start to doubt?
She couldn’t let him know more about her for now.
Qin Yanyang felt somewhat helpless and thought that she could only rely on the Mo Family to solve this.
While Qin Yanyang was hesitating, Mo Deqiang’s phone, who was a bit displeased with her, started ringing.
He glanced at the caller ID, saw it was his daughter’s number, and immediately answered.
"Dad, make the Gong Family completely disappear from Huangyang County, disappear cleanly," his daughter’s voice came through, carrying an indisputable command.
Upon hearing this, Mo Deqiang’s expression changed, and he couldn’t help saying, "Yinping, you don’t understand the situation. The Gong Family is involved in a large number of interests, moving against them will..."
"My boss is very angry, what is the Gong Family? Are you trying to make the Mo Family miss an opportunity? Just do as I said, and hurry up!" the voice on the phone urged.
Qin Yanyang, who had very sharp hearing, heard the voice on Mo Deqiang’s phone, and her lips curled up in relief.
No need to make the call anymore.
Not far away, Yang Fei also heard the voices from Mo Deqiang’s phone and a glint flickered across his eyes.
My boss is very angry? What’s the Gong Family?
Uh, boss, that title seems a bit unusual, doesn’t it?
Yang Fei looked at Qin Yanyang with a deep curiosity in his eyes.
It seems there are a lot of things about his own wife that he did not know.
The call had been disconnected, and after Mo Deqiang’s expression changed a few times, he saw Qin Yanyang’s ice-cold and firm demeanor, which sent a chill down his spine and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Turning around, he slapped someone across the face.
Gong Daqian was dumbfounded on the spot, several of his front teeth knocked out, his mouth full of fresh blood.
The surroundings went deathly silent, all the villagers were stunned.
Who was this person, so audacious as to dare to strike Gong Daqian?
Gong Daqian himself was stunned as well; he was considered one of the top figures in Huangyang County, accustomed to people fawning over him daily and holding a high status, but now he had been slapped in public, which would be unbearable for anyone.
He looked up at Mo Deqiang, his face contorted with rage, and said angrily, "You ..."
Mo Deqiang slapped him hard again and said angrily, "I had already called you earlier to ask you to apologize, is this how you apologize?"
Being slapped again, Gong Daqian felt even more furious and a bit confused. You only told me not to pursue this matter any further, to let it go, when did you ask me to apologize?
However, at the same time, this local mob boss from Huangyang County calmed down.
Mo Deqiang treating him this way meant that the woman’s identity and background must be extraordinary.
He suddenly regretted not having inquired with Mo Deqiang earlier about the real identity and background of the other party.
Seeing their boss being hit, Gong Daqian’s subordinates were enraged.
They did not know who Mo Deqiang was, and seeing their boss being struck, they began to move without needing a command from Gong Daqian.
Mo Deqiang did not move, but the young man who came with him suddenly charged out like a tiger released from its cage. With punches and kicks, he was ferociously unmatched, knocking over three to five men and severely injuring several others with his swift attacks.
Suddenly, those usually fierce fighters among Gong’s men were intimidated.
Gong Daqian’s expression changed.
He realized even more the severity of the situation.
If he was considered a local tyrant in Huangyang County by the common people, then in the hearts of local tyrants like him, the Mo Family was the heaven of Xiangxi State.
Now that the Mo Family had taken action, it showed how resolute their attitude was.
This time, he feared he had truly offended a very powerful figure.
All anger drained from Gong Daqian’s eyes, leaving only panic and fear. He kneeled directly in front of Mo Deqiang and shouted loudly, "I’m sorry, Mr. Mo, it was my fault, I ... I should not have disobeyed your orders."
Then he crawled on his knees to Qin Yanyang and confessed, "I’m sorry, I was wrong, I deserve to die, I have failed in teaching my child, it’s all the Gong Family’s fault. This vile creature shouldn’t have offended you, I kowtow in apology on her behalf, hoping you can forgive us with your great benevolence."
Mo Deqiang nodded silently on the side, thinking that Gong Daqian was still quite astute.
Dealing with Gong Daqian was not difficult, but it could involve the interests of some people, which could be a bit troublesome even for the Mo Family. Now that Gong Daqian was cooperating, there might be a chance to resolve this peacefully, which was what he wanted to see.
To one side, except for Yang Fei, everyone else’s mouth hung open, shocked beyond words.
No one had expected that Gong Daqian, who had previously been so aggressive and insistent on Yang Fei paying with his life, would now be kowtowing to Qin Yanyang for mercy after being slapped.
"This ... this ...," Yang Changjin was at a loss, completely numb.
Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao were also dumbfounded, looking at Qin Yanyang and unable to speak out of surprise.
Yang Wen also widened her eyes, staring blankly at the intimidating figure.
She had always known that the family background might be strong, but she had never imagined it would be this strong, strong enough to call someone with just a phone call to suppress Gong Daqian, a major figure in Xiangxi State.
Huang Dayong was sweating profusely, his legs trembling continuously.
My goodness, even Mr. Gong had kneeled. He had also offended the other party before, and now it was over—what should he do?
Thinking it over, the sharp-witted Huang Dayong also knelt down with a thud.
If you’re wrong, you must admit it, and the attitude must be sincere.
Kneel first and talk later.
If even Mr. Gong had kneeled, following him couldn’t be wrong.
