In the office of Luo Yihuang on the 75th floor of Luohuang Building, it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Yihuang quietly looked down at the tall buildings outside the glass wall, with Lin Yu standing silently behind her.
Luo Yihuang asked in a calm tone, "Has Ye Fengwu not come to work?"
Lin Yu replied, "No, should I call him?"
Luo Yihuang turned around and shook her head at Lin Yu, saying, "Let him be. This person is too mysterious, and I can never figure him out."
Lin Yu frowned slightly. She also didn't like someone like Ye Fengwu. So she said, "Although this person is unruly and mysterious, he doesn't seem to be an enemy of Chairman Luo."
Yesterday, Lin Yu witnessed the horror of Ye Fengwu firsthand. If he really was an assassin, Chairman Luo would have been dead by his hands long ago.
Luo Yihuang was equally puzzled, but the only thing she could confirm was that he was definitely not an assassin because her sister, Luo Bingque, would never let an assassin get close to her.
What she found even harder to believe was that her sister had gotten involved with that guy.
Perhaps the naive Qin Qinghan wouldn't suspect much, but Luo Yihuang knew Luo Bingque very well. Just based on her letting Ye Fengwu hide in the dressing room to watch her change clothes, Luo Yihuang could already conclude that Ye Fengwu and her sister had a secret relationship.
After a while, Luo Yihuang suddenly said to Lin Yu, "Let's go. Accompany me to West Mountain Villa."
Hearing this, Lin Yu was puzzled and said, "Chairman Luo, West Mountain Villa hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Should I have someone clean it first?"
West Mountain Villa was considered an old villa area in Haihua City, but the scenery there was still quite good. Luo Yihuang bought a unit there two years ago but didn't live there for long.
So Lin Yu couldn't figure out why Chairman Luo suddenly wanted to go to West Mountain Villa.
Luo Yihuang said, "No need. We'll go and see the scenery and also see how Qin Qinghan is acquiring Qin Group."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly realized, but then frowned and said, "Chairman Luo, Qin Qinghan only brought four bodyguards. Could it be dangerous?"
Luo Yihuang put on her coat and replied as she walked, "Ye Fengwu won't let anything happen to her."
In fact, early this morning, Luo Yihuang had already thought about whether Qin Qinghan going to the Qin family would be dangerous. But with Ye Fengwu around, there was probably no one in the entire Haihua City who could harm Qin Qinghan.
So Luo Yihuang wanted to see what Ye Fengwu would do.
...
West Mountain Villa covers an area of several thousand acres and was the most luxurious villa in Haihua City twenty years ago.
And in the Qin family villa, which had risen to prominence in Haihua City, was one of the villas in West Mountain Villa.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the hall of the Qin family villa, Qin Guannan sat on the sofa looking old and frail. Across from him were a middle-aged couple and a well-mannered young man wearing glasses.
The young man was Zhang Ge, the heir of Zhang Group, who was always infatuated with Qin Qinghan.
The middle-aged couple were Zhang Ge's parents, Zhang Yulin, the chairman of Zhang Group, and his wife, Liu Mei.
Zhang Yulin's company had a market value of over a billion yuan, making it one of the few large conglomerates in the entire Haihua City.
Therefore, even in the face of Qin Guannan, Zhang Yulin's expression remained extremely indifferent, with a hint of impatience in his gaze.
Standing beside them were a man and a woman, Qin Qinghan's parents, Qin Zhi and Yang Yu, who had been called back by Qin Guannan's phone call.
The two of them stood there like servants, their faces filled with bitterness.
They had been enjoying their lives outside with the few hundred thousand yuan they had, but unexpectedly, the old man suddenly called and forcibly arranged for their daughter to marry Zhang Ge, the young master of Zhang Group.
Qin Guannan seemed to sense Zhang Yulin's impatience, so he personally poured tea for Zhang Yulin and his wife.
At this moment, Zhang Ge politely asked Qin Guannan, "Uncle Qin, are you sure Qinghan has agreed to this marriage?"
Qin Guannan smiled and said, "Rest assured, Young Master Zhang, today it's a matter of parents' wishes and the words of the matchmaker, that girl has no choice but to agree."
Hearing this, Zhang Ge breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "Uncle Qin, we will soon be a family, so you don't have to call me Young Master Zhang anymore, just call me Xiaoge."
Qin Guannan immediately smiled and laughed, "Alright, Xiaoge, you should start calling me Grandpa from now on."
"Grandpa..." Zhang Ge hurriedly called out, with a respectful tone.
However, while Qin Guannan and Zhang Ge were complimenting each other, the expressions on Zhang Yulin and Liu Mei's faces were not good.
Zhang Yulin's stern expression darkened, and he snorted, "Xiaoge, with the background of our Zhang family, you can find any kind of woman you want, but you have to like a woman who has been defiled by someone else!"
Liu Mei's heavily made-up face also turned slightly cold as she sneered at Qin Zhi and Yang Yu standing beside her, "Exactly, I heard that woman is already living with another man, I really can't accept a dirty woman like her entering our Zhang family."
Listening to Zhang Yulin and Liu Mei's ridicule and humiliation, although Qin Zhi and Yang Yu were angry, they didn't dare to say a word and could only stand there with embarrassed faces.
Zhang Ge said, "Mom, Dad, I really like Qinghan, I don't care about her past, as long as I can have her."
Zhang Yulin sighed, "Since you are so infatuated, I have nothing more to say. That woman can enter our Zhang family, but the bastard born from her and the rapist is absolutely not allowed."
Hearing Zhang Yulin repeatedly using the term "rapist" and "bastard," Qin Guannan didn't mind at all and instead assuredly said, "Brother Zhang, you can rest assured, only Qinghan will enter the Zhang family."
Only then did Zhang Yulin reluctantly nod, while Liu Mei, although unwilling, remained silent when she saw her son's deep affection.
"Thank you, Grandpa," Zhang Ge hurriedly thanked Qin Guannan, displaying a respectful demeanor.
However, no one noticed the subtle hint of cunning in Zhang Ge's eyes, despite his seemingly cheerful expression.
It had been three years since Zhang Ge first laid eyes on Qin Qinghan, and he had been completely captivated by her beauty. He was willing to go to any lengths to possess this woman.
At first, he tried using money, sports cars, and mansions, but Qin Qinghan remained unmoved.
This only fueled Zhang Ge's interest in her, so he pursued her relentlessly, but Qin Qinghan always kept her distance.
He even considered using force, but it went against his principles of pursuing women. Instead, he sought the favor of Qin's patriarch, convincing him to agree to their marriage.
However, just as he was about to claim his prize, his plans were completely ruined by a violent man named Ye Fengwu.
As a result, Zhang Ge lost all patience. Once he had her as his wife, he would have free rein to dominate and make her realize the folly of rejecting him.
He wanted to break down her pride and coldness completely.
Before long, Zhang Yulin grew impatient. He checked his watch and saw that it was already 2:15 p.m. Irritated, he said, "Why hasn't she arrived yet? I don't have time to wait any longer. I have a meeting with the newly appointed CEO of Luo Yihuang Corporation at 4 p.m. If I'm late, I could lose billions of dollars in business."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei, who was nearby, was startled and hurriedly said, "Then why don't you leave now? Ruining our family's business is a price even ten Qin Qinghans can't afford."
Qin Guannan's face turned anxious, and he quickly interjected, "Zhang, she will be here soon. Can't you wait just a little longer?"
Qin Guannan was concerned about the financial assistance from Zhang Group, so he wanted to keep Zhang Yulin at all costs.
Zhang Yulin furrowed his brows and said, "Zhang Group has relied on Luo Yihuang Corporation to reach where it is today. Now that the new CEO of Luo Yihuang Corporation has just taken office, if I break my first-day appointment with her, it will completely ruin the future of Zhang Group."
With that, Zhang Yulin stood up, ready to leave.
Seeing this, Qin Guannan's face filled with anxiety, and he looked to Zhang Ge for help.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
