I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 106

On the other side, after a month and a half of undercover investigation, Wen Yunqing not only figured out who in the Association wanted to take action against her, but also determined the abilities of most of the Association’s members.

It was truly surprising. Besides the managing elders, the Association actually had a Young Master, a piece of information unknown even to the authorities.

Naturally, upon learning that this so-called Young Master was the person who wanted to harm Wen Yimeng, Wen Yunqing had another bold idea.

Since this Young Master was unknown to most Association members and the authorities, if she secretly dealt with him, surely no one would know?

After all, death leaves no proof, which was indeed an excellent way to deflect blame.

Wen Yunqing had this thought after investigating for a month, but it only flashed through her mind. She hadn’t actually planned to do it.

However, that was before. Just five minutes ago, Wen Yunqing heard the new plan of this so-called Young Master: he intended to act against Wen Yimeng, and the plan was already finalized.

In a month, Jing University would hold its anniversary celebration. During those days, some areas would be open, allowing non-students to visit. He planned to act then, hypnotizing a few Jing University students to lure Wen Yimeng out and then capturing her.

“That way, what if she’s at school? I can still catch her,” the Young Master said sinisterly, possessing a very vengeful nature.

The Elder didn’t speak, instead stroking his beard, contemplating the consequences of such an action.

“Of course, I will be very careful. Many people will attend the school celebration, including several prominent figures. Even the Special Affairs Department wouldn’t dare check every single person,” the Young Master explained.

The Elder nodded. “That’s true, but the target is, after all, someone registered with the Special Affairs Department. Either don’t do it, or if you do, do it flawlessly.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve planned everything. Once Wen Yimeng is captured, she can be used to control Wen Yunqing, forcing her to surrender,” the Young Master said, chuckling twice. “No matter how capable she is then, once I refine her into a servant, she will still have to obey me.”

“Speaking of which, that woman is also good-looking. After the deed is done, the Elder and I might even be able to have some fun…” As he spoke, the smile on his face grew wider. If this plan succeeded, even the authorities might have to give him concessions.

Wen Yunqing had already struggled to hold back when she heard the opponent planned to use her girlfriend to draw her out and force her to surrender.

When that Young Master’s face revealed an indecent smile and spoke of assaulting the two of them, Wen Yunqing completely blew up. Barely maintaining her composure, she cast another illusion spell to obscure her features and charged forward.

“Someone’s here!” The Elder, who had higher cultivation, reacted quickly.

But unfortunately, in this soundproofed room, besides Wen Yunqing, there were only the Young Master and the Elder.

And the two of them combined were no match for Wen Yunqing. Especially after Wen Yunqing drew her former natal sword, in virtually a single exchange, the Young Master had one of his hands severed.

“Who are you?” The Elder swiftly pulled out his magical artifact and instantly cast three formations, firmly protecting both himself and the Young Master behind him.

Wen Yunqing clicked her tongue. She immediately bit her index finger and smeared the blood onto the sword’s body.

Don’t talk when fighting, as most villains die from talking too much.

Wen Yunqing firmly believed in this. So, after clicking her tongue twice, she didn’t utter another word, focusing all her attention on the attack. In less than a minute, the so-called formations were shattered.

The Elder, suffering a backlash, coughed up a mouthful of blood. Seeing the person before him was so powerful, he vaguely guessed the answer.

The battle lasted less than five minutes. The so-called Association Elder and Young Master were beaten by Wen Yunqing, breaking most of the bones in their bodies, leaving them slumped on the floor like a pile of mud.

“You, you are Wen Yunqing…” The Elder sputtered, coughing blood. “You can’t kill us. We are members of the Association…”

“So what if you are Association members?” Wen Yunqing delivered two more strikes, confirming the two were incapacitated before finally speaking. “Besides the two of you, who else knows I was here?”

A smile appeared on Wen Yunqing’s face as she looked down at the two. “Killing you just like this seems a bit too simple, doesn’t it? I recall there’s a method to extract a person’s soul from their body and seal it up for slow torment?”

“No, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, you will harm many people,” the Young Master panicked. He started revealing his biggest secret. “I possess the ability of prophecy. If you kill me, many people will die.”

“Prophecy?” Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow. “If you can prophesize, didn’t you foresee your own fate today?”

Wen Yunqing scoffed. “You couldn’t even prophesize your death today. Looks like your skill isn’t up to par!”

“No, I saw it! I saw it a year ago…” the Young Master struggled to say. He didn’t want to die; he wanted to live. “I saw that you would kill me in the future, so… so I chose to attack you first.”

The Young Master strained, using up almost all his strength in those few short sentences.

Wen Yunqing stood motionless. After three seconds of hesitation, she stabbed her sword into the Elder’s heart, watching his pupils slowly dilate.

“I don’t believe what you say. Do you have any proof?” Wen Yunqing asked, casually grabbing the Elder’s drifting soul and sealing it within a copper coin.

Thanks to Fu Sanqiu, the number of copper coins she had obtained that time was indeed plentiful, enough for Wen Yunqing to use for a long, long time.

“I…” The Young Master’s face turned even paler. The Elder was dead! The Association’s most powerful Elder was dead just like that!

“I am the Savior! I am the Savior now! If you kill me, this world will be destroyed,” the Young Master cried out. “I am the only one in the world with the ability of prophecy. Only I can foretell where disasters will occur!”

Wen Yunqing frowned. “I’m not here to listen to your nonsense. I need you to prove your ability.”

“I can… give me… some time…” The Young Master struggled for breath, recalling his most recent prophecy. “In one year, a Queen’s Tomb will be unearthed in Xi’an. Inside, there are no fewer than a hundred zombies. If no one stops them, nearly ten thousand people will be infected!”

Zombies? A trace of seriousness flashed in Wen Yunqing’s eyes. The power of zombies should indeed not be underestimated, and they carried a poison. If they were not discovered promptly, ten thousand deaths would be quite normal.

Should she just let this person go? Wen Yunqing looked troubled. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. In this situation, she needed to make a rational decision.

Seeing Wen Yunqing close her eyes, the Young Master’s eyes showed a glimmer of relief. It seemed the other party had temporarily believed him. That meant he could live for at least another year, and as long as he made another prophecy within that year, Wen Yunqing would never be able to kill him!

After thinking for about five minutes, Wen Yunqing moved. She walked over to the Young Master, squatted down, and placed two fingers directly on his head.

Wen Yunqing didn’t believe the Heavenly Dao would be so foolish as to entrust the duty of saving the world to such a useless wretch.

So, Wen Yunqing forcefully opened the Young Master’s sea of consciousness, rapidly scanning the memories in his mind. Wen Yunqing was gambling that the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t do that.

After all, a person whose sea of consciousness was forcibly opened would either die or become an idiot, certainly not having a chance to become a Savior.

Wen Yunqing was lucky. When she reached the memory of the tenth year, she discovered something: this so-called Young Master became mature overnight, and for a period afterward, he targeted one of his cousins.

He spent three whole months digging a huge trap for the cousin, not only taking her life but also acquiring her ability—prophecy.

Having confirmed that this person was not the Savior, Wen Yunqing directly destroyed all of his divine consciousness. This so-called prophecy ability was never his; he was the one who truly murdered the Savior.

Wen Yunqing chose not to seize the Young Master’s soul but directly obliterated it. Only this way would the Heavenly Dao sense that the so-called Savior was completely dead, and only then would the Heavenly Dao possibly select the next Savior.

Wen Yunqing didn’t clean up the scene, only completely eliminating the traces of her presence and ensuring the room remained sealed. Based on her observation over the past month, it would take the Association members at least three days to discover their deaths.

By the time Wen Yunqing left the Association, the sky was almost completely dark. Stars were not visible in the sky over Jing City, so when Wen Yunqing looked up, she only saw a half-moon.

Returning home, Wen Yunqing moved lightly, quietly took her pajamas, and went to the other bathroom to take a shower. After making sure there was no scent on her body, she slipped into the covers.

“Yunqing?” Wen Yimeng sensed a heat source next to her and very skillfully snuggled closer.

“Mhm, it’s me.” Wen Yunqing stroked her girlfriend’s head and happily kissed her twice. The person causing trouble behind the scenes had been eliminated. From now on, she could relax a little.

What? Did you say the Association would retaliate? Are you kidding? Smart people would surely perceive Wen Yunqing’s strength from the deaths of the two. Why would they choose to oppose her?

As for the less intelligent ones, weren’t there still official soothing and internal brainwashing? After all, with those two dead, there was a gap in the Association’s high-level positions, and plenty of people would scramble to fill it.

“You came back last night?” Wen Yimeng rubbed against Wen Yunqing’s neck, forcing her eyes open due to the inertia of her biological clock.

Wen Yunqing closed her eyes and lightly hummed. “I came back. I’ll be with you every night from now on.”

Hearing this, Wen Yimeng immediately became alert. “Really? Are those issues all taken care of?”

“More or less. The rest is not my concern,” Wen Yunqing opened her eyes. “I believe Mu Kuan will be very willing to take over this matter.”

“You gave the evidence you found to Mu Kuan?” Wen Yimeng asked, then said to herself, “That’s right. Professional matters should be left to professionals to solve.”

Wen Yunqing didn’t argue. After all, she didn’t want to directly tell her girlfriend that she had outright killed the two to prevent future trouble.

Learning that Wen Yunqing had eliminated the troublemakers behind the scenes, Wen Yimeng’s mood shifted from average to delighted. She didn’t stay in bed, pulling Wen Yunqing up and urging her to wash up.

“I invested in many projects during this period. Now that you have time, I’ll take you to see them one by one. You need to at least recognize who you invested in!” Wen Yimeng said.

Wen Yunqing wasn’t very enthusiastic about investing. Hearing Wen Yimeng’s words, she just nodded casually and then stuck close to her to wash up together.

After quickly having breakfast, Wen Yimeng led her to the nearby Science Park to visit the technology company researching holographic technology.

“So this is the company we invested ten million in? It looks a little small,” Wen Yunqing said. The company only occupied one rather large office, and the total number of employees was less than twenty.

“This is a startup company, of course it won’t be huge,” Wen Yimeng whispered. “Didn’t you also research this? You even said their current research progress is quite good.”

Wen Yunqing blinked. “Did I?” When did she say that?

“Yes, just a week ago!” Wen Yimeng confirmed, then led Wen Yunqing inside, meeting a few important team members.

“Junior, it’s almost lunchtime. Do you want to stay and eat with us?” one of the seniors asked, scratching his head.

“No need. We just came to check in and don’t want to interrupt your work,” Wen Yimeng politely declined the lunch invitation. Their money had already been transferred, and they were counting on them to develop the holography soon.

To avoid being forced into a meal, Wen Yimeng grabbed the materials they offered and quickly retreated.

Looking at her hand being pulled, Wen Yunqing couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “What’s wrong? Why are you running so fast? It’s just staying to eat a meal together.”

Wen Yimeng shook her head, speaking profoundly. “That’s because you haven’t eaten with them. If you had eaten once, you wouldn’t say that.”

“Oh? Why?” Wen Yunqing didn’t understand. These seniors seemed like good people. “Do they force you to drink?”

Wen Yimeng shook her head. “No, but they will discuss problems with you, problems you completely don’t understand.”

Wen Yimeng paused. “Do you remember the study plan Zhou Jun organized for you back then? Eating one meal with them is roughly equivalent to executing that study plan.”

“Hiss—” Wen Yunqing couldn’t help but gasp. “If that’s the case, then it’s definitely better not to eat with them.”

They were already university students and could arrange their own study content. She didn’t want to endure the hardship of studying anymore!

April was the month of spring. Although it was still a bit chilly, as long as you remembered to wear a jacket, you wouldn’t feel cold even if you were holding hands with your partner on the street.

“Why, haven’t we gone shopping in a long time?” Wen Yimeng asked. For over a month, she was either at school or with Teacher Lu.

“What do you want to buy?” Wen Yunqing asked. “Clothes, or jewelry and bags?”

Wen Yimeng considered. “I don’t seem to lack jewelry, and Mom has ordered all the latest bags, which should be arriving soon.”

“Understood. We’re going shopping for clothes.” Wen Yunqing temporarily released her girlfriend’s hand, opened the map on her phone, and slightly frowned when she found that a suitable mall was quite far.

“I think we should buy a car?” Wen Yunqing suggested. “That way, we won’t have to take taxis when we go out.”

“But won’t parking be difficult in Jing City?” Wen Yimeng asked. She had considered it, but the traffic conditions in Jing City were truly frustrating.

“It’s fine. We can park in a paid parking lot. It’s just a matter of paying a bit more money,” Wen Yunqing scrolled through the map and found that a relatively large car dealership was about six hundred meters away from them.

Seeing the distance displayed on the map, Wen Yimeng was still a little hesitant. “Even so, even if we buy a car, what about the license plate? Auction?”

Wen Yunqing chuckled. “Actually, as the Captain of the Third Brigade, I don’t think applying for a license plate will be a problem.”

Wen Yimeng slapped her forehead. Of course! How could she forget? They were now considered government employees and had some “backdoor” access.

With the discussion reaching this point, Wen Yimeng naturally agreed with Wen Yunqing’s suggestion. However, this time they didn’t plan to buy one car each, but instead asked Wen Yunqing to buy a slightly larger SUV. That way, it would be more convenient whether they were with roommates or with Zhou Jun and the others.

By chance, perhaps because the dealership was not far from Jing University, Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng ran into their roommates, Zhang Pan and Liang Shiyou, who were working there part-time.

“Are both of you working part-time here?” A question mark popped up in Wen Yimeng’s mind. If it were just Zhang Pan alone, they could understand, but why was Liang Shiyou here? She shouldn’t be short of money.

Liang Shiyou rubbed her nose. “Well, I managed to snag a front-row concert ticket two days ago, so I’m a little short on cash, and I’m working part-time with Panpan for a couple of days.”

“The hourly wage for this job is very high, thirty yuan an hour! And there’s a commission if you sell a car!” Liang Shiyou said. They only worked five hours a day, so the minimum was 150 yuan!

“So, what’s your commission?” Wen Yunqing asked.

“Based on a three-year installment plan, it’s one point five percent,” Zhang Pan said.

“What about a full payment?” Wen Yimeng asked.

Zhang Pan recalled. “For a full payment, there’s only a zero point five percent commission.”

“Yunqing, Yimeng, are you buying a car? Then buy it from us! We guarantee you the lowest price!” Liang Shiyou tugged on Zhang Pan’s arm, smiling. “This way, the money stays among friends.”

Wen Yimeng was amused. “Alright, but we’re paying in full. Your commission might not be much.”

“It’s fine. Zero point five percent is still good. Even for a 100,000 yuan car, that’s 500 yuan!” Liang Shiyou said. “What kind of car are you looking for? Zhang Pan has been working here longer than I have, so she should know more.”

“High safety rating, large space, and good-looking,” Wen Yimeng said.

“Money is not an issue,” Wen Yunqing added.

Liang Shiyou nodded. She already knew the two weren’t short on money, so she wasn’t surprised by such generous words.

“If it were up to me, I’d recommend this luxury SUV. It’s a brand new model, priced slightly over two million yuan on the road. The lowest price I can offer you is…” Liang Shiyou flipped through her small notebook. “The manager told me it’s exactly 2,120,000 yuan. We might be able to negotiate a bit more, taking it for 2,100,000 yuan shouldn’t be a problem!”

“Zhang Pan, what do you think of my recommendation?” Liang Shiyou nudged Zhang Pan with her arm after finishing.

Zhang Pan thought for a moment. “If price isn’t an issue, I would rather recommend this off-road model. It’s over five million yuan. Both the safety rating and the driving force are excellent. The trunk and back seats are also spacious enough. Including the driver, five people are not an issue.”

“It passed safety testing when the new car was launched. This is the video that was filmed then,” Zhang Pan said, tapping the small tablet in her hand, finding the video and showing it to the two.

The test video was a bit long, about eight minutes. Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng watched for about five minutes after increasing the playback speed.

“Can this be customized?” Wen Yunqing was intrigued. “Can the windows be replaced with bulletproof glass?”

Zhang Pan was stunned. “According to the description, it can, but if customization is required, delivery might be delayed.”

“How long would the customization take?” Wen Yunqing asked.

“Just for the glass, generally around three months,” Zhang Pan said.

Wen Yunqing: “Under the fastest circumstances?”

Zhang Pan flipped through her small tablet. “At the fastest, one month, and that’s already with extra payment involved.”

“Good, then let’s add the money!” Wen Yunqing decisively declared. “Help me calculate the total. I want the highest-end everything. Including the bulletproof glass, how much will it cost in total?”

Zhang Pan couldn’t help but gasp. “Are you sure? All the highest-end? In that case, it might not just be over five million yuan. It might reach eight million yuan.”

Wen Yunqing: “Unless something unforeseen happens, this car will be with us for many years, so we want to buy high-quality.”

Wen Yimeng nodded in agreement. “Indeed. If we drive it for five years, it only works out to a little over a million yuan per year.”

Liang Shiyou silently drank her water on the side. My goodness, only a little over a million! She probably couldn’t say that in her entire life!

Wait, except for the game ‘Fight the Landlord’. She did have over a million ‘Happy Beans’ in that game.
