Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

172: Take a detourAfter Qian Maocai learned that the matter had been exposed, he waited for the Tianlong Republic Government to come and negotiate with him.

But a few days passed, and still no one came to him.

Perhaps in his eyes, he could now represent the Qian Family, but in the eyes of the various sirs of the Tianlong Republic, only two people in the Qian Family could make decisions.

So, what Qian Maocai didn’t expect was that the Government didn’t look for him, but instead went directly to his father, Qian Yongfu, and also invited Qian Yonglu, who had been researching cardss in the laboratory, out.

While they were negotiating, Qian Maocai was still completely unaware... ”Mr. Number Three, may I ask what you need from me?”

Qian Yonglu was a researcher; he wasn’t very concerned about the Qian Family’s affairs and didn’t know what had happened, so he directly and frankly asked Mr. Number Three, wanting to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and then return to his research.

Mr. Number Three actually knew that Qian Yonglu hadn’t instructed anyone to do this.

However, there was no other way. Qian Maocai’s confidence in doing this was because the Qian Family had Qian Yonglu, the creator of the Coal Card, behind it.

Therefore, he also had to bear the corresponding responsibility for what the Qian Family did.

”Mr. Qian Er, do you happen to know Bai Xiaobai?”

”I do. Didn’t he recently create the Wind Turbine cards? It’s very impressive, even more impressive than mine.”

Qian Yonglu didn’t stint on his praise.

In his opinion, new talents emerge from time to time, and the appearance of new energy is very normal and a very good thing.

His research institute now had electric fans and electric lights, so he wouldn’t feel irritable when it was hot at noon, and he could research at night, and his inspiration wouldn’t be interrupted by the darkness.

The appearance of these products made his life much more convenient, so he had a very good impression of Bai Xiaobai.

Mr. Number Three: ”Do you know about the recent actions of the Qian Family?”

Qian Yonglu looked at his elder brother, then at Mr. Number Three, and a bad guess formed in his mind.

The Qian Family couldn’t have done something to Bai Xiaobai, could they?

”Please don’t beat around the bush with me. Just tell me directly what happened. Did something happen to the Qian Family? Or did the Qian Family do something bad to the Tianlong Republic?”

Mr. Number Three: ”Alright, Mr. Qian Er, I won’t beat around the bush with you. The situation is this: The current head of the Qian Family, Qian Maocai, instructed Liu Mengyan of the Liu Family to administer a Mental Corrosion Potion to Mr. Bai Xiaobai.”

When Qian Yonglu heard this, the smile on his face froze, and then he looked at his elder brother, Qian Yongfu, wanting to know if the Qian Family had really done this.

Qian Yongfu looked into his brother’s eyes and still nodded helplessly, confirming that what Mr. Number Three said was true.

Although Qian Yongfu was no longer the head of the Qian Family, he still knew what was happening within the Qian Family.

However, he only learned about this incident after it had already occurred. Thinking of this, Qian Yongfu’s gaze deepened. It was time for the Qian Family to be cleaned up.

”Big Brother, how could you let Maocai do such a thing?”

”Alas, I also didn’t expect Maocai to be like this. I also don’t know where he got the Mental Corrosion Potion.”

”Yes, yes, where did he get this Mental Corrosion Potion? Isn’t it a forbidden drug in the Tianlong Republic?”

Mr. Number Three: ”We have already investigated and found out that the Divine Card Sect gave it to him. That person was an elder of the Divine Card Sect, and we have already apprehended him.

However, even if we caught this elder, what has already happened cannot be undone, so the Qian Family still needs to give Card Maker Bai an explanation.”

Qian Yonglu was not good at this and could only look at Qian Yongfu.

Qian Yongfu: ”Mr. Bai, what are your demands?”

There was no other way; the initiative was not in their hands now. They couldn’t be forceful at this time, otherwise things might get even worse.

Mr. Number Three coming to negotiate with them was indeed because he had received a letter from Mr. Number Five. The letter stated Xu Bai’s demands, meaning he was representing Xu Bai.

”Please take a look at this document.”

Qian Yongfu took the document and looked at it with his brother, Qian Yonglu.

The demands on it could roughly be summarized into three points.

First, the mastermind and accomplices who harmed him—he did not want them to live;

Second, he and his company needed permanent rights to create and sell Coal Cards, and the Qian Family was not allowed to suppress them in any way;

Third, if anyone from the Qian Family tried to harm him again in the future, the copyright of the Coal Card needed to be given to him for free. If he died, it would be inherited by his designated heir, and the Qian Family would not be able to create or sell Coal Cards thereafter.

After reading these three demands, Qian Yongfu suddenly regretted letting Qian Maocai become the next head of the Qian Family.

He had thought his second son was a conservative and that choosing him as the head of the Qian Family would allow him to protect the Qian Family.

However, he didn’t expect him to be so easily swayed, too easily misled by others, leading to such a big mistake.

If Qian Maocai had poisoned Bai Xiaobai with something else, perhaps the Government wouldn’t have considered Bai Xiaobai’s interests so much.

He really didn’t know what his second son, Qian Maocai, was thinking, using a Mental Corrosion Potion on Bai Xiaobai.

The events of 20 years ago were still vivid in his mind. At that time, more than 200,000 Card Makers in the Tianlong Republic committed suicide because of this potion. One must know that at that time, there were only about one million Card Makers in the Tianlong Republic in total.

Alas.

The Qian Family could only accept their fate now. He knew that Mr. Number Three’s visit was not a negotiation, but a notification.

Now, it was equivalent to giving away the Qian Family’s main business to others. Even if that Bai Xiaobai could no longer create cardss, he would still have enough to eat and drink in the future.

Also, this was only the Qian Family’s explanation to Bai Xiaobai; the Qian Family still needed to give an explanation to the Government.

Thinking of this, Qian Yongfu’s back became more stooped.

”Okay, we agree to this demand.”

Mr. Number Three was very satisfied with Qian Yongfu’s choice.

Qian Yonglu: ”Mr. Number Three, can I request a meeting with Bai Xiaobai?”

”Can you tell me why?”

”Although not being able to create cardss is a huge blow to a Card Maker, a Card Maker’s thoughts are the most valuable asset.

I don’t know if what I’m saying is useful, but I still want to talk to him and don’t want him to go down a desperate path.”

Qian Yonglu’s words made Mr. Number Three fall into deep thought.

”I will send your request to Bai Xiaobai. As for whether Bai Xiaobai wants to see you, I cannot guarantee it.”

”Okay, thank you. I know the Qian Family has wronged him. I just want to do something about it myself.”

Qian Yongfu looked at his brother’s expression, his eyes flickering.

So many years had passed, and his brother was still the same as before, while he himself had changed so much.
