Yunhai City.
If one was talking about the most expensive residential development on the surface, it would undoubtedly be the Yunshan Villa where Jiang Yingxue lived.
The price per square meter exceeded 150,000 yuan. Moreover, each villa had a minimum size of over 662 square meters. In other words, even the cheapest villa in Yunshan Villa was worth over 100 million yuan!
However, if you’re asking where the actual most expensive housing in Yunhai City was, Yunshan Villa would barely make the top three.
The true number one?
That would be Yunding Manor!
The vast Yunding Manor, situated in a prime commercial area, was like a cluster of palaces. Outsiders passing by often mistook it for a preserved historical compound that had never opened to the public.
Anyone wanting to purchase a manor here had to be someone of enormous power and wealth. And the key word was wealth!
Most of the residents were once-powerful figures who had retired from the capital and came here to enjoy their twilight years.
If a rich tycoon managed to settle in Yunding Manor, the very first thing they’d do was establish ties with the local dignitaries. The connections one could gain here were invaluable.
But Qin Ge had absolutely no such intentions.
No matter how exalted these people’s statuses were, they still couldn’t match the nobility of his own background.
“Not bad. Helipad, golf course, even a horse ranch. The amenities are complete!”
Qin Ge strolled around his estate, nodding in satisfaction.
Even so, inwardly he couldn’t help but grumble,
Damn it!
They could build houses like this?
In his previous life, his net worth had been nothing short of extraordinary. He’d owned at least eight or ten villas. Swimming pools, gyms, tea rooms—those were already considered high-end to him. But compared to this manor, they were like kids playing in the mud.
A helipad? He could accept that.
A golf course? Barely acceptable.
But a horse ranch? What the hell?
A ranch occupying over 6.67 hectares, and in one of the busiest commercial areas of Yunhai City? With tens of thousands of square meters, this much land could’ve been turned into a whole commercial complex!
“Young Master, we’ve arrived.”
Qiao Yingzi pulled up in the Rolls-Royce Phantom before one of the villas.
Qin Ge rolled his eyes, “That’s the guard house!”
“Huh?”
Qiao Yingzi looked surprised. Staring at the luxurious estate behind the villa, she suddenly felt like her job as a bodyguard must’ve really made her brain dull.
…
Late at night, the Yunding Manor was lit brightly, but the lighting was gentle, not harsh.
A curvaceous woman in a tight purple dress walked gracefully, every movement full of allure.
Just one glance at her figure could make people feel she was seductive down to the bones.
She led a few bodyguards, frowning, visibly burdened with thoughts, as she made her way through the long courtyard path and entered Yunding Manor.
Inside the living room, she saw a figure with his back to her. Gritting her teeth, the seductive woman shouted, “Do it!”
The bodyguards behind her drew their pistols and aimed them at the young man’s head.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
But the next moment, the young man pulled out a Browning pistol and fired several shots in succession.
The bodyguards collapsed one after another in pools of blood.
Some of them groaned in disbelief before dying, “This… this isn’t scientific!”
“There’s a sniper nearby!”
Qin Ge slowly turned around.
With a devilish smile at the terrified stepmother before him, he said playfully, “Ms. Liu, come have a seat.”
Liu Mei looked at him in horror, “Why is it you?! That letter… you wrote it?!”
Qin Ge nodded, “Let’s sit and talk.”
Once Liu Mei sat down in front of him, Qin Ge poured himself a cup of tea and sipped leisurely. Glancing at her, he said, “Haven’t seen you in a few days, but you’re still as seductive as ever, Ms. Liu.”
Liu Mei gritted her teeth, “What nonsense are you spouting? I’m your mother!”
Qin Ge raised the Browning, pointing it at her head, “Say one more word, and I’ll turn your skull into a watermelon.”
He could ignore Qin Hai’s delusional attachment, but this woman? Just some cheap garbage, daring to call herself his mother?
Liu Mei took a deep breath and glanced around, her heart pounding.
She never imagined Qin Ge could live in a place like Yunding Manor, surrounded by so many elite figures.
Clenching her fists, she shouted, “Where did you hear all those rumors? If your father finds out, he’ll be furious!”
“Rumors?” Qin Ge laughed. “I’m not so sure about that.”
“Ms. Liu—or should I call you ‘No Cilantro’ or ‘Loves Cilantro’? When you were just an escort, why not own up to it? Why hide?”
Her face twitched, and she snapped, “Qin Ge, what the hell are you talking about?!”
But her heart was trembling.
The names he mentioned matched those written in the letter.
Names only people from her past would know.
Yes, she had been an escort.
She’d been kept by over a hundred men.
But that was more than twenty years ago.
She’d long since washed her hands of it.
Many of those rich men were probably dead by now.
So why?
How could Qin Ge, who wasn’t even born back then, know about all this?
How could he even know her old online usernames?
“Still stubborn? Won’t cry till you see the coffin, huh?”
Qin Ge shook his head in boredom, then casually tossed out a stack of photos.
Each photo showed Liu Mei in intimate acts with different men—flushed cheeks, seductive eyes.
Gulp.
Liu Mei stared at those long-forgotten faces, swallowed hard.
“Ms. Liu, Qin Huanhuan and Qin Zou—they’re not even part of the Qin Family, are they?”
“Even if the DNA test result surprised you, deep down you should know—the timelines don’t match up at all.”
Qin Ge’s smile grew more sinister.
Liu Mei’s expression darkened gradually, “I understand.”
Qin Ge raised an eyebrow, “You understand?”
Impressive.
Liu Mei nodded, then stood up. Swaying her curvy waist, she walked over and knelt before Qin Ge.
She gathered her long hair up and reached out to unbuckle his belt.
“Don’t be shy.” Liu Mei raised her sultry face.
Despite being in her forties, she looked barely over thirty thanks to impeccable maintenance.
She licked her lips and said obediently, “Mom will make sure you’re satisfied.”
Bang—!
Qin Ge threw a punch that shattered all her porcelain veneers.
Still not satisfied, he stomped and burst one of the implants in her chest.
Qin Ge frowned, “You thought I was joking earlier?”
Still daring to call herself his mother?
A prostitute… daring to taint the memory of his real mother?
Liu Mei screamed, blood gushing from her mouth, “What… what do you want?!”
No matter what it took, she had to calm Qin Ge down.
She had fooled Qin Hai far too deeply.
If he ever found out the truth, he would definitely tear her to pieces.
Qin Ge’s face turned cold as he spoke bluntly, “I want the Black Jade Bone Regeneration Paste from Qin Huanhuan.”
He had broken Qin Huanhuan’s leg precisely to obtain this secret paste from her sect.
It could regenerate bones and meridians.
It would be extremely helpful for Lin Xiaojin’s mother’s disability.
His current medical skill—Healing Hands—hadn’t yet reached the level of regenerating bones.
Even compared to the towering figure of the traditional Chinese medicine world, Chen Yuan, he still fell slightly short.
To surpass Chen Yuan, he had to win Wager Agreement Three and obtain the Divine Power Flesh and Bone Restoration.
Clearly, the two goals conflicted.
So he needed outside help.
And the Black Jade Bone Regeneration Paste from Qin Huanhuan’s sect was the best option.
Liu Mei covered her bloody mouth, “It’s… it’s gone.”
Qin Ge sneered as he stared at her curvaceous figure, “Really? What, were you planning to seduce both Qin father and son?”
His secretaries in his past life were all pure, unmarried women.
Now that he had become a major villain, there was no way his standards would regress.
Liu Mei staggered to her feet, one hand clutching her mouth, the other holding her chest, “I’ll go get it and bring it to you now.”
Qin Ge watched her retreating, miserable figure and casually reminded, “Not a single word about tonight to Qin Huanhuan or Qin Zou. If you so much as think about mentioning it, those photos will be in Qin Hai’s hands the very next second.”
He didn’t want Qin Huanhuan to know the truth—
After all, she was the Child of Destiny.
And he had great use for her in the future.
