“Brother Long, I want to see ten billion yuan in my account within three days. The full shares of Lin Corporation, the two standalone villas downtown, and…”
Inside a hidden private club suite in the city, Lin Qi pushed a thick stack of documents toward a tattoo-covered middle-aged man. Her crimson lips curved into a cold smile.
“And also the flat in the south district registered under Zhao Yaqin’s name, plus the marital home Song Mingxuan mortgaged. Sell all of it at a low price.”
Brother Long took a deep drag from his cigar and stared at the usually gentle and delicate eldest daughter of the Lin family as if he had seen a ghost.
“Miss Lin, Lin Corporation is a golden goose that lays golden eggs. You’re selling it at half-price just for quick cash? And if the marital home gets sold, your fiancé will be sleeping on the streets.”
“That’s my business.”
Lin Qi leaned forward slightly, her gaze as cold as if she were looking at corpses.
“I only want cash. Get it done in three days, and the five hundred million yuan commission is yours. If anyone causes trouble, handle it with your underworld methods.”
Brother Long crushed out his cigar, greed flashing through his eyes.
“Straightforward! I, Black Dragon, accept this deal!”
After leaving the underground district, Lin Qi had just gotten into her Porsche Cayenne when her phone began vibrating frantically.
Caller ID: 【Vampire Stepmother】
Lin Qi sneered and answered the call.
“Lin Qi! What the hell are you doing?! Mingxuan’s face is ruined, and he’s still lying in intensive care! Get your ass to the hospital right now to pay the medical bills, then sign the company authorization papers, otherwise I—”
Cough! Cough cough cough—
Before Zhao Yaqin could finish screaming, Lin Qi interrupted her with a series of weak, violent coughs.
Her tone instantly changed. Her voice trembled with despair and tears.
“Auntie Zhao… I… I didn’t do it on purpose… The doctor said I have a malignant glioma in my brain. It’s compressing my nerves, which is why I’ve been emotionally unstable and hallucinating…”
The other side instantly fell silent.
A full five seconds passed before Zhao Yaqin’s voice suddenly shot upward in pitch, unable to hide her excitement.
“A malignant tumor?! You… you’re not lying to me?”
“How could I joke about something like this…” Lin Qi looked at her own cold reflection in the car window while making her voice sound even more pitiful. “There’s no cure in the country anymore. I’ve already contacted a top foreign medical team. But… but they require an enormous amount of money…”
“Treat it! You absolutely must get treatment! Even if we have to sell everything we own, we’ll save you!”
Zhao Yaqin immediately switched into the role of a loving mother, her excited voice even trembling slightly.
Lin Qi was dying?!
Heavens truly had eyes!
As long as Lin Qi died, wouldn’t the Lin family’s fortune worth over a hundred billion yuan all belong to Zhao Yaqin and Song Mingxuan?!
Lin Qi sneered inwardly.
The fish had taken the bait.
“But Auntie Zhao, chartering a plane overseas and paying for experimental targeted medicine requires proof of funds worth over ten billion yuan. I’ve already entrusted an agency to sell off the company shares and all my properties…”
Lin Qi deliberately paused.
“Including the flat you live in and Mingxuan’s marital home. Those are all assets my father left behind, so they’re the fastest to liquidate.”
“What?!” Zhao Yaqin shrieked. “You sold our houses too?!”
“Auntie Zhao, please pity me…” Lin Qi pretended to sob weakly. “Anyway, once I recover… or… or if I die on the operating table, won’t the remaining money still belong to you and Mingxuan? I’ve even drafted the will already. You two are the sole heirs…”
The moment Zhao Yaqin heard the words “sole heirs,” all her distress over losing the houses instantly vanished!
What were a few houses compared to hundreds of billions in cash?
As long as this short-lived girl died, she’d inherit everything. At that point, wouldn’t she be able to buy as many villas as she wanted?!
“Qiqi, don’t think nonsense!” Zhao Yaqin hurriedly comforted her, afraid Lin Qi might change her mind. “Selling the houses is fine! Mingxuan and I can rent somewhere temporarily. As long as your illness can be cured, we’re willing to lose everything! When are you leaving?”
“As soon as possible. Within three days.”
“Good, good. Focus on recovering peacefully. Don’t worry about the company or the houses. If those agents dare lower the price too much, Auntie will personally help you handle it!”
After hanging up, Lin Qi casually tossed the phone onto the passenger seat and slowly wiped each finger clean with disinfectant wipes.
Malignant tumor? A will? Sole heirs?
Keep dreaming!
As long as she got through these three days—once the hundred billion yuan entered her account, once Brother Long’s debt-collecting thugs forcibly kicked Zhao Yaqin and Song Mingxuan out of the house and confiscated all their luxury goods and bank cards—
They would finally understand what it truly meant to “leave with nothing.”
Lin Qi slammed down on the accelerator.
The red Porsche let out a deafening roar, like a beast of vengeance unleashed from its cage, racing straight toward the largest agricultural wholesale market in the city.
The money would arrive soon enough.
And next—
It was time for her bottomless “Absolute Stasis Space” to finally feast properly!
