In Yunhai City, if one were to ask which residential development was publicly known as the most expensive, the answer would undoubtedly be the Yunshan Villa district where Jiang Yingxue lived.
Prices there exceeded 150,000 yuan per square meter.
Moreover, every villa had a minimum floor area of more than 662 square meters.
In other words, even the cheapest villa in Yunshan Villa was worth over 100 million yuan!
However, if one were to ask where property prices were truly the highest in Yunhai City, Yunshan Villa could barely rank third.
The most expensive of them all was Yunding Estate!
The enormous Yunding Estate complex stood in one of the city’s most prosperous districts, with each residence resembling a magnificent palace.
People passing by might even mistake the area for a collection of ancient architectural complexes that had never been opened to the public.
Anyone who wanted to purchase an estate here had to be wealthy and powerful.
The emphasis was on powerful.
Most of the residents were influential figures from the capital who had retired here to enjoy their later years.
If some wealthy businessman managed to move into Yunding Estate, the first thing he would undoubtedly do was establish connections with the powerful people living there.
The connections available in this place were priceless.
Qin Ge, however, had no such thoughts whatsoever.
No matter how distinguished these influential figures might be, none of their backgrounds could compare with his!
“Not bad.”
“A helipad, a golf course, and even an equestrian center. The facilities are certainly comprehensive!”
Qin Ge wandered around his estate before nodding in satisfaction.
Yet even he could not stop himself from complaining inwardly.
Damn it!
Could a house really be built like this?
In his previous life, Qin Ge had already possessed considerable wealth.
Even if he had not owned 10 villas, he had owned at least 8.
Swimming pools, gyms, and tea rooms had already seemed like luxurious amenities to him.
Compared with this estate, however, those villas were like children playing with mud.
He could understand the helipad.
He could barely accept the golf course too.
But what the hell was with the equestrian center?!
It covered more than 66,667 square meters, and this was in one of Yunhai City’s relatively prosperous commercial districts.
With tens of thousands of square meters of land, they could have built an entire large-scale commercial complex!
“Young Master, we’ve arrived.”
Qiao Yingzi stopped the Rolls-Royce Phantom in front of a villa.
Qin Ge rolled his eyes. “This is the security building!”
“Huh?”
Qiao Yingzi stared in surprise.
Looking past the building toward the luxurious estate behind it, she suddenly felt that her competence as a bodyguard had taken a serious blow.
…
Late that night, Yunding Estate was brilliantly illuminated. However, the lights were soft and gentle rather than glaring.
A voluptuous woman dressed in a purple pencil skirt walked gracefully along the path, her curvaceous figure swaying with every step.
One glance at her figure alone was enough to make anyone feel that this woman could drain a man completely dry.
Accompanied by several bodyguards, she walked through the long front courtyard with a deep frown, clearly burdened by heavy thoughts, before finally entering Qin Ge’s estate.
The moment she entered the living room and saw the figure standing with his back toward her, the seductive woman steeled herself and shouted angrily, “Do it!”
Several bodyguards behind her immediately drew their pistols and aimed them at the back of the young man’s head.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, the young man suddenly drew a Browning pistol and fired several shots.
Immediately afterward, the bodyguards collapsed one after another into pools of blood.
As they fell, they cried out in disbelief, “That’s impossible!”
“How can bullets curve?!”
“There’s a sniper nearby!”
Qin Ge slowly turned around.
An unsettling smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he stared playfully at his terrified stepmother. “Ms. Liu, come over and sit down.”
Liu Mei stared at Qin Ge in horror. “How could it be you!?”
“You wrote that letter?!”
Qin Ge nodded. “Sit down. We’ll talk.”
After Liu Mei sat down across from him, Qin Ge poured himself a cup of tea and leisurely drank it.
He glanced at Liu Mei. “It’s only been a few days, yet you’re as alluring as ever, Ms. Liu. That seductive charm of yours really runs all the way to the bone.”
Liu Mei gritted her teeth. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m your mother!”
Qin Ge raised the Browning and aimed it directly at Liu Mei’s head. “Call yourself my mother one more damn time, and I’ll blow your head apart like a watermelon!”
Qin Hai had been blinded by lust and could call her whatever he pleased.
Qin Ge could not be bothered to argue with him over that.
But who the hell did Liu Mei think she was?
How dare she call herself Qin Ge’s mother?
Liu Mei took a deep breath and looked around.
Even in her wildest dreams, she had never imagined that Qin Ge would be able to live in Yunding Estate, a place filled with influential figures.
She clenched her fists and demanded angrily, “Where did you hear those rumors? If your father finds out about them, wouldn’t you anger him to death?”
“Rumors?” Qin Ge smiled. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”
He looked at her meaningfully. “Ms. Liu… No, that doesn’t sound right. Should I call you ‘No Cilantro,’ or should I call you ‘Loves Cilantro’?”
“If you worked as an escort, then you worked as an escort. Why are you so afraid to admit it?”
Liu Mei’s heart tightened, and her composure instantly shattered. “Qin Ge, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
However, panic had already taken root in her heart.
What had been written in that letter, along with the online aliases Qin Ge had just mentioned, made her entire body tremble uncontrollably.
Yes!
She really had worked as an escort in the past.
Moreover, she had been kept by no fewer than 100 men.
But all of that had happened more than 20 years ago.
She had long since left that life behind.
Of the wealthy men she had once entertained, countless had probably already died of old age.
Why?
Why would Qin Ge, who had not even been born back then, know about any of this?
How could he even know the aliases she had used?
“You really won’t give up until you see the evidence.”
Qin Ge shook his head in boredom.
He casually tossed a stack of photographs onto the table.
Every photograph showed Liu Mei being intimate with a different man, her cheeks flushed and her expression unmistakably seductive.
Gulp!
“Ms. Liu, Qin Huanhuan and Qin Zou aren’t actually children of the Qin Family either, are they?”
“Although the paternity test results surprised you, you should know perfectly well that the timing simply doesn’t match!”
The smile on Qin Ge’s face grew increasingly sinister.
The light in Liu Mei’s eyes gradually dimmed. “I understand.”
Qin Ge looked surprised. “You understand?”
He had not even explained what he wanted yet, and she already understood?
Was she some kind of mind reader?
Liu Mei nodded.
Then she stood up, swayed her voluptuous hips, walked over to Qin Ge, and crouched in front of him.
She gathered her waterfall-like hair and tied it high before reaching toward Qin Ge’s belt.
“Don’t be shy.” Liu Mei raised her seductive face.
Although she was already in her forties, she had maintained herself so well that she looked barely over 30.
She licked her rosy lips and submissively said to Qin Ge, “Mom will make sure you’re satisfied!”
Bang!
Qin Ge punched her directly in the mouth, shattering her porcelain dental crowns on the spot.
Even that was not enough to vent his anger. He followed with a kick to her chest, rupturing one of her breast implants.
Qin Ge frowned coldly. “Did you think I was joking earlier?”
She still dared to call herself that?
A prostitute like her actually dared to insult the memory of his mother right in front of him?!
Blood poured from Liu Mei’s mouth as she wailed, “What… what exactly do you want?!”
No matter what method she had to use, she needed to appease Qin Ge.
She had deceived Qin Hai far too badly.
If Qin Hai ever learned the truth, he would undoubtedly tear her apart, chop her into pieces, and feed her to the fish!
Qin Ge’s expression turned cold as he went straight to the point. “I want the Black Jade Restoration Salve in Qin Huanhuan’s possession.”
The reason he had broken Qin Huanhuan’s legs was precisely to obtain the secret Black Jade Restoration Salve from her sect.
That medicine could reconstruct damaged bones and meridians.
It would be extremely useful for treating Lin Xiaojin’s mother’s disability.
Qin Ge’s current medical skill, Miraculous Healing Hands, had not yet reached the level where he could regenerate broken bones. In fact, compared with Chen Yuan, whose medical expertise could easily overwhelm even the revered grandmasters of the Traditional Chinese Medicine world, Qin Ge’s skills were probably still slightly inferior.
If he wanted his medical abilities to surpass Chen Yuan’s, his only option was to win Wager Agreement Three and obtain the Divine Ability, Flesh and Bone Regeneration.
Obviously, that method conflicted with his immediate objective.
Therefore, he could only rely on outside assistance for now.
The Black Jade Restoration Salve from Qin Huanhuan’s sect was the best possible aid.
Liu Mei covered her bleeding mouth. “That’s… that’s all?”
Qin Ge glanced at Liu Mei’s voluptuous figure and sneered. “What else? Were you planning to conquer both father and son of the Qin Family?”
In his previous life, even his secretaries had all been unmarried young women.
Now that he had become a great villain, was he somehow supposed to lower his standards instead?
Liu Mei staggered to her feet, covering her bleeding mouth with one hand and her chest with the other. “I’ll go back. I’ll bring it to you right away.”
Qin Ge watched her retreating figure and calmly warned, “Not a single word about what happened tonight is to be mentioned in front of Qin Huanhuan or Qin Zou.”
“If you so much as think about telling them, these photographs will appear in front of Qin Hai the very next second.”
Qin Ge did not want Qin Huanhuan to learn the truth yet.
After all, she was a Favored Daughter of Destiny.
She would be extremely useful to him in the future!
