At six o'clock in the evening, Ye Fengwu had already returned home. He sat quietly on the sofa, with smoke swirling in the living room and the ashtray on the coffee table piled full of cigarette butts.
Ye Fengwu's face was very troubled. He was waiting, waiting for a phone call, waiting for Qin Qinghan's phone call.
If Qin Qinghan did not receive Jing Si after getting off work, she would definitely be extremely anxious. He didn't even dare to think about the distressing and helpless scene of Qin Qinghan grieving on the street.
"Forgive me, only by doing this can you harden your heart to deal with the Qin family. This is the punishment the Qin family deserves." Ye Fengwu murmured.
A few minutes later, Ye Fengwu's phone finally rang. The caller was Qin Qinghan.
Ye Fengwu hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button. He made his voice sound as natural as possible. Just as he was about to speak, anxious and helpless crying came from the phone.
"Jing Si is missing. Please help me find Jing Si. I'll do anything. Please help me find her..."
Ye Fengwu felt a twinge in his heart. He hurriedly comforted, "Qinghan, calm down. Maybe she went to play with her classmates."
"Jing Si would never do that. She waits for me to pick her up every day. Also...also, someone saw two men taking Jing Si away. Was she kidnapped by bad guys? Please come quickly and help me find Jing Si. I'm begging you."
Qin Qinghan's voice was choked with sobs, extremely anxious and panic-stricken.
Ye Fengwu could empathize with a mother who had lost her daughter.
For a moment, Ye Fengwu almost wanted to tell Qin Qinghan the truth, but in order for Qin Qinghan to stop being weak, he had to do this, even if she hated him in the future.
So Ye Fengwu said gently, "Qinghan, calm down first, go home first. I'll find a way to safely bring Jing Si back to you."
"I...I can't calm down. Jing Si has never left my side before. Woo... I'm...I'm going to call the police." Qin Qinghan sobbed and said.
"Don't call the police." Ye Fengwu hurriedly said, then his tone became solemn, "Qinghan, we still don't know who took Jing Si away. If it's a kidnapping, we can't call the police even more, or it will anger the kidnappers. For Jing Si's safety, go home first now, and I'll find a way."
Hearing Ye Fengwu's warning, there was a short silence on the phone, and only Qin Qinghan's sobbing could be heard. After a long time, she finally said, "I...I'll go back now."
Half an hour later, Qin Qinghan opened the door to her home, her reddened eyes full of tears. Ye Fengwu hurriedly got up to comfort her, but unexpectedly Qin Qinghan rushed into Ye Fengwu's arms and cried bitterly like a helpless child.
Ye Fengwu hugged the delicate body in his arms, feeling both distressed and guilty.
Qin Qinghan leaned in Ye Fengwu's arms, and looked up at him pleadingly with her tearful, helpless face,
"I...I'm really scared. I've never been so scared before. I know you have connections. Can you get Jiang Hao to help me find Jing Si? I'll do anything. I know you like me. I...I can really marry you, as long as...as long as you find Jing Si."
Ye Fengwu felt bitter inside. Was she using herself as a bargaining chip? This made Ye Fengwu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Calm down a bit, okay!" Ye Fengwu comforted.
Qin Qinghan shook her head in pain and tears, "I can't calm down. Jing Si is only seven years old. She has never left my side before. Woo... Who could be so cruel as to kidnap a child."
Ye Fengwu sighed, "Qinghan, in your heart you already know the answer, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qinghan's crying stopped, and she looked up at Ye Fengwu's face close at hand. Her eyes were filled with deep sadness.
Yes, she did have a guess, but she really didn't dare think in that direction.
Right now, the Qin Group was on the verge of collapse, facing the trend of bankruptcy at any time. According to the current situation, even if she returned to the Qin Group, it would be impossible to turn the tide. And the only one who could make the Qin Group rise again was the Zhang Group.
And the Zhang Group's only condition was for her to marry Young Master Zhang Ge of the Zhang Group's Board of Directors.
The Qin family knew she would not agree, so they wanted to threaten her, and kidnapping Jing Si was the most sensible method.
Because they knew Jing Si was her weakness. As long as Jing Si was in their hands, she...would become a puppet that they could arbitrarily control.
"How could they do this!"
Even now, Qin Qinghan still didn't want to believe that it was her grandfather and uncle who had kidnapped Jing Si. After all, they were her relatives!
Ye Fengwu seemed to see what Qin Qinghan was thinking. He said, "You know very well that the Qin family has never treated you like family over the years. What kind of relatives would use this kind of means to coerce their granddaughter?"
Qin Qinghan wept in grief, her heart filled with endless sadness. Relatives - not only had they not treated her as a relative, they didn't even treat her as a human being.
Ye Fengwu embraced Qin Qinghan and said, "The Qin family may take action soon. Before that, Jing Si is safe."
Bang bang bang!
Just then, a rude knocking sound suddenly rang out.
Qin Qinghan's body jerked in shock, a glimmer of expectation flashing in her eyes. She then hurriedly opened the door.
The moment the door opened, four or five men immediately swarmed in, led by Qin Qinghan's uncle Qin Fei.
Qin Qinghan couldn't help but retreat until she bumped into Ye Fengwu's arms. At this moment, she was completely convinced that Jing Si had indeed been kidnapped by them.
"Qinghan, the Qin family is now at an impasse. Only you can save the Qin family. Come with us." Qin Fei looked at Qin Qinghan with a sinister, cunning expression and said lightly.
Qin Qinghan angrily said, "It was you, you kidnapped Jing Si. She's just a child. How could you do this?"
Qin Fei sneered, "As long as you obediently go to Young Master Zhang and get married, Jing Si can naturally come back safely, and will have a good family to adopt her."
"You're shameless, you're inhuman." Qin Qinghan became very emotional. She wanted to rush up and fight desperately with Qin Fei.
Ye Fengwu hurriedly hugged Qin Qinghan. His face was gloomy, but he didn't take any action.
Qin Fei also wanted the bodyguards to forcibly take Qin Qinghan away, but he was very clear about Ye Fengwu's prowess. Back then, at the old man's big birthday banquet, he had single-handedly beaten more than a dozen bodyguards unconscious. So he didn't act rashly.
Qin Qinghan bit her red lips and glared at Qin Fei with hatred, coldly saying, "I worked like an ox and a horse for the Qin family, yet you never treated me like family. Now, for the sake of the family, you treat me as a marriage tool, and don't hesitate to kidnap your own great-granddaughter to threaten me. Do you still have any humanity left as a member of the Qin family? I feel extremely ashamed as a Qin family member."
This was perhaps the only time Qin Qinghan had ever spoken such sharp words.
Qin Fei's expression remained indifferent. He snorted lightly, "Your grandfather did it for the sake of the entire Qin family. As a member of the Qin family, now is the time for you to repay the Qin family."
"Tomorrow afternoon, at the Qin family villa, come in person. Young Master Zhang will bring generous gifts to take you away, and you'll also see the little girl for the last time. Otherwise, for the survival of the Qin family, your grandfather can do anything."
After saying that, Qin Fei waved his hand and directly left with several bodyguards.
"Come back, give me back my daughter. Give me back my daughter." Qin Qinghan yelled hoarsely, wanting to rush out.
Ye Fengwu held her tightly. He felt full of guilt, but he had to do this, because... Qinghan's heart had to be strong. This was an opportunity.
Qin Qinghan faced Ye Fengwu and shouted angrily, "Why didn't you do anything? I need you. Why did you let them go? Woo..."
Qin Qinghan was venting. She had never been so impulsive before, nor had she ever angrily berated someone like this.
After venting, Qin Qinghan collapsed into Ye Fengwu's arms crying.
Ye Fengwu held Qin Qinghan in his arms distressfully and waited for her to cry herself out. Then Ye Fengwu said, "I promise you, Jing Si will be fine."
Qin Qinghan raised her pale and colorless face, staring into Ye Fengwu's eyes, and said firmly: "For Jing Si, I am willing to do anything."
Ye Fengwu frowned and said: "Including agreeing to the conditions set by your grandfather?"
Qin Qinghan nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Ye Fengwu felt bitter in his heart. He held Qin Qinghan's delicate face in his hands, and said solemnly: "I know I've lied to you before, but have I ever gone back on my word to you?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qinghan hesitated immediately.
Ye Fengwu spoke again: "I swear on my life that no harm will come to Jing Si. You won't have to pay any price either. I won't force you to marry me either. Of course, you can't agree to the conditions set by your grandfather, never ever."
He almost gritted his teeth as he uttered the last few words. Although Qin Qinghan only had such thoughts of abandoning all principles for Jing Si's sake, it still secretly pained him.
She was his woman, and that would never change.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
