The Fallen Beauty Becomes the Mob Boss’s Possession - Chapter 5

Despite this, Qin Huai had no intention of resting. After all, having finally managed to escape Shen Yuzhi’s villa, he had to make good use of this time.

Song Zhe, sitting to the side, seemed to notice Qin Huai’s thoughts. He smiled but did not expose him. As long as Qin Huai was no longer doing anything to harm himself, Song Zhe would support him.

“Stay with me for these next few days. My father just bought a new villa, so let us go and enjoy the freshness!”

Song Zhe draped one arm around Qin Huai’s shoulder while pouring him a drink with the other.

The two of them got dead drunk at the bar before being taken to the new villa by the Song family driver. This place was in the suburbs, a long distance from Shen Yuzhi’s villa. Even if Shen Yuzhi investigated, he would not know about the property the Song family had just acquired. Therefore, Qin Huai was exceptionally safe here.

However, the fact that the marriage to Ling Feng had been intercepted could not be kept under wraps forever. Shortly after Qin Huai left Shen Yuzhi’s villa, the news reached the ears of the Cheng family. The first to lose her composure was Lin Xingxue.

She had thought she had finally gotten rid of that bane, protecting both the Cheng family business and her beloved son. She never expected the marriage to be hijacked at this critical juncture. If they could not afford to offend Shen Yuzhi due to his noble status and high position, how could they not manage someone like Qin Huai?

While Lin Xingxue frantically brainstormed countermeasures, Ling Feng of the Ling family smashed several expensive antique vases in a fit of rage. Feeling that was not enough to vent his anger, he waved his hand and smashed the coffee table that had been custom-made and delivered just days ago into pieces.

Ling Feng sat in the main seat with a fierce and ruthless look in his eyes, as if the shattered table were Qin Huai himself. He stepped on the debris scattered across the floor, his expression gloomily terrifying.

“Go tell the Cheng family that if they cannot find Qin Huai and complete this marriage, they can just wait for their family to go under.”

Before Lin Xingxue could find Qin Huai, the message from the Ling family arrived. Terrified, she dared not delay and hurriedly called Cheng An, who was out carousing.

She explained her meaning concisely and to the point. This made Cheng An pout in dissatisfaction. Before he could say anything, the voice of Cheng Shangjian came through the other end of the line: “Xiao An, come back. We need to discuss this with your mother and me.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng An frowned tightly. Could it be that the day had finally come for him to participate in a business marriage alliance?

He subconsciously gripped his glass tightly and angrily dialed Qin Huai’s number countless times, but not a single call went through.

On the way back, Cheng An called Cheng Shangjian.

“Dad, have you found that wretch Qin Huai? I heard he is at Shen Yuzhi’s villa. Can you go over there and check?” Cheng An still held a shred of luck when he said this, hoping he might just happen to run into him.

But Cheng Shangjian leaned on the sofa without saying a word, hung up the phone in exhaustion, and took the tea Lin Xingxue handed to him. The two sat silently in the living room, waiting for Cheng An to return home.

Right now, the most important thing for the Cheng family was to appease Ling Feng. Apart from letting Cheng An take Qin Huai’s place, Cheng Shangjian and Lin Xingxue had no other better strategy.

At this moment, Lin Xingxue’s eyes were already red from crying, but she was helpless. She wrung her fingers anxiously, waiting for her son.

By the time Cheng An arrived back in a flurry, Ling Feng had also appeared in the courtyard of the Cheng family at the right moment.

They clearly had not expected this man to show up. Cheng Shangjian hurriedly stood up to greet him, but he was met with Ling Feng’s poisonous, malicious eyes.

“Your Cheng family is truly impressive. It seems you do not really need the help of our Ling family after all.”

As Ling Feng spoke, he sat directly in the main seat. His gaze swept back and forth across the people present, finally resting on Cheng An.

Cheng Shangjian was so scared he nearly trembled. Clearly, he no longer possessed his previous air of self-importance, nodding and bowing with extreme respect toward Ling Feng.

Although Cheng An was not as good-looking as Qin Huai, he was still a quality Omega, and he had always had an absurdly high opinion of himself. To everyone’s surprise, when he met Ling Feng’s gaze, he actually blushed with shyness.

“Is this your younger son?”

Hearing Ling Feng’s words, Cheng An, who always cared about status, nodded along, completely lacking his usual arrogant and domineering demeanor, appearing much like an obedient, well-behaved little lamb.

Inwardly, however, his heart was surging with excitement, looking forward to Ling Feng taking a fancy to him so he could successfully join a wealthy family.

“Yes, yes, he is also an Omega. Young Master Ling, look…”

Cheng Shangjian’s meaning was already very clear, causing Ling Feng to lift his eyebrows and take another look at Cheng An.

Ling Feng clicked his tongue, his expression appearing extremely satisfied, which made Cheng An stand out with great excitement.

“Young Master Ling, let me replace Qin Huai and marry you, okay?”

Such a bold statement surprised Lin Xingxue. She wanted to intervene, but was held back by Cheng Shangjian.

“Do not concern yourself with this matter. I know you love Xiao An, but our Cheng family. We have no other choice now.”

Cheng Shangjian shook his head helplessly, signaling Lin Xingxue to let go.

Watching her son appear so jubilant, Lin Xingxue bit her lip and cursed Qin Huai countless times in her heart.

Ling Feng nodded in unexpected agreement, effectively consenting to Cheng An’s request.

In an instant, Cheng Shangjian felt the weight lifted from his heart. He began to busily arrange this new joyous occasion with great delight. That very evening, Cheng An followed Ling Feng back to the Ling family.

This news spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of Song Zhe. He angrily threw his phone aside, turning to meet Qin Huai’s indifferent eyes.

“Xiao Huai, are you not angry? Cheng An and his mother are just cut from the same cloth. They are already planning to take your place and marry Ling Feng! Their schemes are practically written all over their faces!”

Seeing his good brother so indignant, Qin Huai found it rather amusing. He reached out and patted his shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

“What does this matter? Think about it. If Cheng An wants to marry Ling Feng, is he not helping me? I do not have to be forced by the Cheng family to marry someone I do not like.”

Hearing Qin Huai’s explanation, Song Zhe wanted to say something more, but was comforted by Qin Huai.

“Do not worry. I will certainly not come out on the losing end of this. In two days, after they finish the wedding, I will go to the Cheng family once more.”

This time, Ling Feng’s wedding was quite lively, with many business tycoons invited. Even Shen Yuzhi was among the invitees. However, Shen Yuzhi naturally looked upon Ling Feng with cold disdain and did not show up at the wedding at all.

For the past few days, Shen Yuzhi had been probing for news of Qin Huai’s whereabouts. Even though he knew it was Song Zhe who had brought people to take Qin Huai away from the villa, he dared not act rashly, fearing that he might alert the target and cause Qin Huai to move out of his current villa again.

“Young Master, do you really not need to send people to keep an eye on Young Master Qin?”

Shen Yuzhi’s subordinate bodyguard asked respectfully, meeting those dark, deep eyes.

Shen Yuzhi simply waved his hand expressionlessly while holding a wine glass. The well-tailored suit made him appear exceptionally tall and straight. The fragmented moonlight sprinkled over him, adding a sense of loneliness.

Back at the suburban villa, Qin Huai was still reviewing the materials he had found. When he saw his mother’s name, a hint of undetectable ferocity flashed in his eyes.

Qin Huai wanted the culprits who caused his mother’s death to pay with their lives.

He could not help but think this to himself, grinding his teeth as he flipped to the next page. Looking at the photo of Cheng Shangjian on it, Qin Huai slammed the file onto the table in anger.

Regarding the entire Cheng family, Qin Huai felt mostly resentment. He hated his father for failing to save his mother when she was dying, and he hated even more the current master of the Cheng family.

Qin Huai leaned against the sofa and let out a long sigh, stretching his slender, fair fingers to tightly pinch the bridge of his nose. He was thinking about how to bring down the Cheng family.

However, thinking of his mother who had passed away from illness, Qin Huai could not help but think of the man he had wronged. Shen Yuzhi’s figure lingered in Qin Huai’s mind, the pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He lay on the table, gasping for air, tilting his head to look at the gentle night scenery outside the window. He gripped his phone tightly, but could not find a single way to contact Shen Yuzhi.

The double torture of his mother and Shen Yuzhi left Qin Huai silent for a long time before he took the stack of materials and walked toward his bedroom.

Song Zhe had just come out of the bathroom, still steaming from his shower. He greeted Qin Huai warmly but noticed the undried tear tracks on Qin Huai’s face. He dared not be boisterous anymore and immediately closed his mouth, watching as Qin Huai returned to his bedroom.

However, that entire night, Qin Huai’s dreams were filled with the image of Shen Yuzhi… whether it was that wild night or the way Qin Huai had abandoned Shen Yuzhi in the past. It left Qin Huai tossing and turning, terrified to close his eyes again, fearing he would see Shen Yuzhi’s pained expression.

At dawn, Qin Huai sat up in bed. He made up his mind that he would go back to the Cheng family today to reclaim the things that belonged to his mother. He could not risk waiting any longer, not knowing how many more complications might arise.

Song Zhe also supported this action, even secretly sending several bodyguards to follow Qin Huai as he went to the Cheng family house.

The Cheng family, having successfully entered the marriage alliance with the Ling family, had changed completely. Even the previously dilapidated courtyard had been renovated to look much more magnificent. If Qin Huai had not verified the address, he would have thought he had come to the wrong house.

He lifted his lips in a sneer and stepped out of the car, walking toward the Cheng family courtyard. Before he could open the gate, he heard the buzzing of an engine.

Lin Xingxue stepped out of the car, glaring at him with rage. Qin Huai had seen that venomous gaze countless times already, so he felt nothing. He reached for the door handle, but before he could open it, he was fiercely grabbed by the wrist by Lin Xingxue.

She launched into a torrent of abuse at Qin Huai.
