When the screams rang out, Mr. and Mrs. Qin in the next room were almost asleep.

"What happened?"

The two jumped up amid the screams and ran outside quickly. When they pushed open the door next door and saw Qin Jianbai lying on the ground with a bloody head, the couple also roared in anger.

"what happened?!"

They subconsciously wanted to find Qin Ranqiu, but when they looked up they saw the silhouette of a man holding a broken vase.

The curse that was about to come out was suddenly blocked in the throat.

"Qin..." President Qin was stunned and stammered, "You, what are you doing?"

"Ah," he turned his head and glanced at the couple, explaining in a normal and even caring tone, "I was going to knock on your daughter, but who knew that Jianbai blocked her..."

As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "You are protecting your sister like this, which makes it very difficult for me to handle."

"..." Madam Qin knelt on the ground, her trembling hands trying to touch the wound on Qin Jiabai's head, but she didn't dare to. She had to point her finger at Qin Ranqiu's nose and curse, "What have you done? You made the master so angry! And you even implicated your brother!"

Qin Ranqiu's face was pale, and he looked at the man with trembling lips, his face full of shock and confusion.

Qin Jianbai, who was covering his wound, also looked up at him and said reluctantly, "Why? We didn't hide it."

"It's not concealed, but it's processed."

The man picked up the remaining fragment of the vase in his hand, and seemed to be studying the pattern on it. "But I don't blame you for this. People are like this. When they speak, they always make some things that are beneficial to themselves and detrimental to others. What's more, there is hatred between you two, I can understand... Even if you are scheming against her and setting a trap for her, I can understand it, but..."

He put down the fragments, half-knelt down in front of the two of them, and stared into Qin Ranqiu's eyes with a smile on his lips.

"You know what I can't accept?"

He used the blood-stained vase fragment to hit Qin Ranqiu's face again and again.

"I can't accept that you let your brother seduce her."

"I can't accept it even more - your schemes and traps, in the end, all served to tie her and the man named Wen Can even tighter."

The edge of the fragment gently cut the woman's delicate cheek, maintaining an edge that felt sharp but not enough to actually cut the skin.

As Qin Ranqiu couldn't help but tremble slightly, the man said with a cold smile:

"I've seen a lot of idiots, but people as stupid as you make me angry - Miss Ranqiu, can you understand?"

Qin Ranqiu looked at the man with a pale face, and asked word by word, "What is your relationship with Ye Kong?"

The man, who had always been calm and free-spirited, was suddenly startled by this question, and a trace of trance flashed in his cold eyes.

“That’s a very good question.”

"She and I - probably because I decided to marry her when I was 18, but she still hates me to death."

"But..." He suddenly looked down at Qin Ranqiu, and the trance faded from his eyes.

What permeated was an overwhelming, almost fanatical emotion: "Who says hate isn't love?"

"Especially for someone like her, the more intense the emotions, the more it proves the importance of this person. So from this perspective, I should be the most important person in her memory or even in her life, right?"

He suddenly approached Qin Ranqiu: "Don't you have such a person?"

He asked curiously, "Isn't this the feeling you have for Wen Can? Even though he is so blind to you now, even though you must be extremely resentful of him now, the more this happens, isn't he more important to you?"

"Don't you want to..." His tone suddenly became calm, and he said softly with unparalleled temptation, "Don't you want to conquer him completely, so that he will never dare to do this to you again, and never dare to put other women above you? He may even be able to fully satisfy your wishes. Why did you fall in love with him? He should have fallen in love with you for more powerful and moving reasons - don't you want to replace Ye Kong's position and become the only Mrs. Wen who he absolutely supports and protects no matter what the occasion?"

"You do not want it?"

"..."

Perhaps it was because his tone was too contagious that Qin Ranqiu was in a trance for a few seconds.

But she soon came to her senses with a shaky look in her eyes, and looked at the man in front of her with a shocked expression: "You!"

"Ah..." The man suddenly controlled all his emotions, and that kind of enthusiasm and temptation disappeared completely in an instant.

He showed an expression that was almost bored and disgusted, glanced at Qin Ranqiu and said, "I remember now, Miss Ranqiu studied psychology, right?"

He said softly, "It's boring."

Qin Ranqiu was shocked and couldn't react for a long time.

During this time, the housekeeper who was urgently called by Mr. Qin and his wife rushed in with a first aid kit and began to bandage Qin Jianbai's wound.

The man stood up, still holding the blood-stained vase fragment in his hand.

His assistant, who had been waiting outside the door, came in and handed him a handkerchief: "Sir."

He did not take the handkerchief, but just snorted softly, and then said calmly: "From now on, don't call me sir, and don't call me master of the house."

All the Qin family members in the room looked at him blankly.

The man picked up the bloody fragment, covered the right half of his face, turned around and smiled at the few people: "From now on, I am Qin Jianbai."

"I am your younger brother." - His eyes fell on Qin Ranqiu.

"It's your son." - He glanced at Mr. Qin and his wife.

"And you are Qin Wu."——Finally it fell on Qin Jianbai.

"Except when I need you, please stay in your room and don't come out again."

The overhead light fell on the porcelain piece, reflecting the sharp blood red color into everyone's eyes.

Along with the man's white teeth revealed when he smiled.

"As a reward, I can write off your cooperation with Haili Group under the name of Nangang Qin Family."

“And if your family cooperates perfectly, I can even lend you the agency rights of our family, allowing you to cooperate with all maritime groups in Yuzhou under the name of Nangang Shipping King.”

Mr. Qin and his wife's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The man grinned: "Of course, the premise is that you have to listen to me in everything."

His pupils turned slowly and his gaze fell on Qin Ranqiu.

——Qin Ranqiu was shocked.

Under the cold light, she had the illusion that she had turned into a moth struggling in vain on a spider web.

But she knew she was not his prey.

She was just bait to lure her prey.

·

The horrible memories faded, but the more horrible reality was still unfolding.

In the speeding car, Qin Ranqiu swallowed her scream, grabbed the seat belt tightly, and forced out a difficult question from her throat: "What do you want to do next?"

"I've seen your brother's schedule. He should be meeting with Haley's people today. The negotiations are only halfway through, right? The supplementary contract hasn't been signed yet."

I didn’t expect him to say this. Qin Ranqiu was stunned for a moment before grabbing the seat belt and said, “That’s my brother’s job!”

"So what?" The man didn't even look at her. He was in a good mood and spoke in a very cheerful tone, even his disdain was expressed in a very nonchalant manner. "You can't possibly think that my negotiation skills are inferior to your brother's, can you?"

He turned the steering wheel sharply, and laughed as the woman exclaimed, "Although he looks a lot like me, your brother's abilities are nothing like mine."

Qin Ranqiu gritted his teeth and said, "What about Ye Kong? What are your plans next?"

"Plans?" The man's exaggerated smile faded a little, leaving only a thin layer of expression that made him look more focused and concentrated. "I have to see what her plans are first."

"Then..." He sighed softly, "I have to find a teacher to practice my voice changing ability. It's been too long since I used it, and I'm not very skilled at it anymore."

Meanwhile, in the coffee shop.

Amid the calls of the second generation's eyes, Ye Kong walked upstairs without looking away, his mind wandering.

Just as she took one step onto the stairs, she suddenly stopped.

Everything that had just happened was replayed in my mind, paused, and then replayed again.

Finally, it stopped at the image of a man with his head slightly lowered.

For some reason, even though there was nothing unusual, Ye Kong stood there for a long time.

It was not until Lin Xinzhou cautiously stepped forward and called her that she suddenly looked up.

"Lin Xinzhou."

It was the first time that Lin Xinzhou was called by his full name. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"You know--" She turned to look at Lin Xinzhou, her pupils shrank like a cat's, "Are there any news about people from Nangang coming to Yuzhou recently?"

"For example, the Qin family, the shipping tycoon."
