Chapter 151: Challenge To The Mercenary Camp; Is Qin Jiang Turning Into The Young Mistress?

“Oh, Ms. Liang, you’re in such a good mood today, you even brought a male companion… Seems like you’re still hung up on what I said last time and planning a comeback?”

“Honestly, at your age you should try some of life’s flavors.”

“See, I didn’t lie to you, right?”

“A man of quality… is very nourishing.”

Qi Yuan wore a black silk strappy gown that traced her excessively superior figure, giving off an alluring, fragrant charm. With long straight black hair and a typical dominatrix style, she was bold and strikingly heroic.

Her presence was utterly overwhelming!

But her careless words made Yan Liang noticeably frown.

Although… Young Mistress’s Qi words weren’t exactly wrong.

She had indeed tasted the sweetness of having a man.

But she didn’t want Jiang to feel he was the only one for her, nor did she want to bind him up and treat him as if he existed solely to “restore” her body.

“If you don’t speak, no one’s going to treat you like a mute.”

Yan Liang kept a cold face, but still took Qin Jiang’s hand and seated him openly and graciously.

It was a resting camp made of glass windows on all sides, spacious and open, but at a glance one could see many camouflage-clad special forces training with stern, icy expressions.

This place… was a private mercenary camp!

It was also the turf where the top tycoons of the nation, those who held supreme financial power, came to relax or to spar for dominance.

Of course, this wasn’t the only camp they used for such pastimes.

But this was the first time Qin Jiang had been brought by Yan Liang into her world.

It was also a world Qin Jiang had once been utterly unwilling to step into.

But Qi Yuan was completely unruffled.

She and Yan Liang were sworn friends. Only because of their close relationship could she tease so unabashedly.

“And only Jiang.”

Yan Liang lowered her eyes, casually toying with Qin Jiang’s palm with her fingertips, fidgeting back and forth as if she couldn’t get enough.

“Tsk, you’re quite lovelorn.”

“Qin Jiang, right? Hello… pleased to meet you!”

Young Mistress Qi rose. There was no one in the whole venue who had the right to make her stand, of course… except Yan Liang.

But the two of them were casual and unconcerned with such formalities.

Yet now, Young Mistress Qi stood and proactively reached out to the man sitting beside Young Mistress Yan, Qin Jiang.

That gesture of giving face was practically a recognition of Qin Jiang’s status in this circle!!

Everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath!

Yan Liang raised her hand and directly took Qi Yuan’s hand. “His hand can only be touched by me!”

“If you’re interested, then go dote on your new pet properly.”

Once it got more serious, those pretty boys were promptly kicked out the window.

“Alright, alright!”

“You’re ruthless.”

Young Mistress Qi smiled seductively, then put her arm around a silent young man in white and kissed his cheek.

Muacks~

Young Mistress Qi laughed carefree, the epitome of a domineering, wanton beauty.

Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow.

No way, kid, you’re charging pretty hard!!

But the young man’s upright, principled refusal mixed with the resigned willingness to endure it all to save money for his father’s medical treatment was just… too much of a trigger for her fantasies!

“Well, if my little brother likes money and I like little brother… no conflict there.”

“Come on, let’s kiss for another million on the lips?”

But Qin Jiang’s gaze landed on how, despite the youth’s resistance, he hadn’t really left Young Mistress Qi’s side by even half a meter…

Damn, that looked way too much like how he used to be.

So you domineering heiress sisters all like to “seize by force and plunder* the lands**“?*

“Enough, are you still playing or what?”

“Of course we play.”

“This time we need to play something different. For the past month I’ve been training Jiang Heng in marksmanship, precisely to fleece you this round.”

“But if you lose, you can’t touch any of the East City development projects. They all go to my Qi Corporation!”

Everyone came for profit.

And of course no one wanted to leave empty-handed.

As for Yan Liang in this regard, whether marksmanship, assembling firearms, or modifying and reconfiguring guns, she was as familiar as playing with her own fingers.

She was naturally invincible.

But a person who stands on the peak too long invites jealousy. Others will want to pull her down.

And now, Qin Jiang’s status had become the obvious weak point those people could use to drag Young Mistress Yan off her “pedestal.”

In everyone’s eyes, Young Mistress Yan had no flaws.

Falling for Qin Jiang was her fatal flaw.

This was clearly… a honey trap set for the Young Mistress.

Yan Liang’s gaze skimmed over the rough fingertips of Qi Yuan’s new favorite, Jiang Heng, and she could tell this man was likely a former mercenary.

Moreover, he was definitely not as pitiable as rumors claimed.

Qi Yuan had found him and brought him here precisely so Qi Corporation could secure the East City development project.

Yan Liang herself was a ruthless player and naturally wouldn’t hesitate to use tactics on others.

“Young Mistress Qi sure has a good plan.”

Qi Yuan laughed openly. “Dang, you caught on.”

“Alright then, I’ll add another stake: the Rose Manor in North City.”

“Young Mistress Yan… so little faith in your little boyfriend?”

Young Mistress Qi’s gaze coldly fell on Qin Jiang again. In fact, anyone who had some dealings with Yan Liang showed Qin Jiang little favor.

Young Mistress Qi was no exception.

Not only to fight for the project, but to make Qin Jiang back down and teach him a lesson was also one of her aims…

However, Yan Liang had protected Qin Jiang far too well.

She and the surviving members of the organization’s “villain squad” had no chance to teach this coward Qin Jiang a lesson.

“No need.”

“Jiang doesn’t need to make any effort for my career.”

“I can let him reap the benefits without lifting a finger, and I won’t use him as any bargaining chip for profit.”

“He is the person I love, not a tool.”

“Qi Yuan, if you want to play… I’m all game!”

Young Mistress Yan’s eyes turned cold and harsh. The temperature around them seemed to plummet.

She reached out and intertwined her fingers with Qin Jiang’s.

The Young Mistress had never been very good at knowing how to love someone.

But she knew how to protect someone.

To protect Jiang’s dignity, to protect everything about Jiang!

Qin Jiang was stunned down to his scalp. Since his rebirth, he had to admit he’d always been sheltered under the Young Mistress’s wings.

He even rode her coattails, and even rode on the Young Mistress’s assets and memories from his past life to seize the market and gained some small achievements.

But none of that was his true ability!!

Qin Jiang’s ability was boundless.

Just because he was genuinely a regular college student didn’t mean the training the Young Mistress had given him these few days and the firearms skills he shakily learned in his past life to escape Liangyue Manor should be left unused.

The Young Mistress had always been paving the way for his career.

This time, Qin Jiang wouldn’t be the “accessory” or “trash” at her side anymore…

“Yanyan, this game… I’m in!”

When Qin Jiang said this, no one dared openly mock him, but murmurs of amusement still crept into his ears.

The crowd chuckled.

Qin Jiang’s overreaching look was oddly endearing.

Yan Liang hadn’t expected Qin Jiang to agree on his own. She tightened her grip on his hand and increased the pressure.

“Jiang, are you sure?”

Yan Liang didn’t immediately crush Qin Jiang’s enthusiasm. This was her world, which for an ordinary college student like Qin Jiang, could be both hell and heaven.

In reality, it was a den of peril filled with traps.

Could he handle whatever happened here?

“Yanyan, isn’t life about trying more things?”

“Besides… I’m not that easy to provoke either.”

His marksmanship came from Yan Liang’s private tutelage.

And Young Mistress Yan’s skills were a terror to those who heard of them.

“Pfft.”

“Brother-in-law, although I acknowledge you, this really isn’t a place for you…”

But he couldn’t help being worried and fussy.

Upon hearing that Young Mistress Qi privately invited his sister to the private mercenary camp to talk business, he knew Qi Yuan was up to some mischief again.

The Yan Group and the Qi Corporation, both powerful families, were old acquaintances and competitors.

Such healthy competition was originally nothing unusual.

His sister could handle it just fine.

But Qi Yuan’s focus on Qin Jiang was clearly deliberately taking advantage of someone’s weakness!!

For a moment, Yan Zuo felt that even if his sister might endure it… he could not!

So even in a wheelchair he had to come stop his brother-in-law from dragging his sister down…

“Oh… what’s up with Little Zuo?”

“I remember the last time I saw you, you were still lively and hopping about.”

Qi Yuan chuckled lightly and idly let her fingertips trail over Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng’s face stiffened. He reached out and wrote in his little notebook:

Qi Yuan watched the man solemnly jotting in his little book and found his look unexpectedly cute. She reached out and pinched Jiang Heng’s cheek again…

Write it down! Write it down!

Of course, that fiendish figure of hers too!

Too bad some people didn’t know how to savor it.

Young Mistress Qi smiled wickedly, quite different from Yan Liang’s icy, off-putting domineering terror.

Therefore, in the capital city.

Yan Liang and Qi Yuan were together called the “Two Tyrants of the Conglomerates”!!

“Yan Zuo, is your skin feeling itchy?”

Yan Liang glanced at Yan Zuo. The coldness and murderous intent in her eyes were all too familiar to him.

But… he truly couldn’t ignore the fact that his sister had such a weak brother-in-law at her side.

Noob!!

Indeed, in everyone’s eyes… Qin Jiang was a guaranteed-loser rookie.

He looked fairly strong and tall, but he’d probably be scared silly by a gun’s recoil.

“Yan Zuo!”

“Do you really think I’m harmless?”

Qin Jiang lowered his head and suddenly pulled a gun from his waist, the dark muzzle pointed right at Yan Zuo’s forehead.

Yan Zuo was stunned.

Seriously, what ordinary college student can casually pull out a gun like that?

This brother-in-law is a bit unhinged!

“Sis… Brother-in-law…”

“No, calm down, I’m doing this for my sister too…”

Yan Zuo wanted to cry but had no tears.

An icy flash passed through Yan Zuo’s eyes.

Everything of the Yan family belonged to the Yan Group…

“Hmm… no rush.”

“Little Zuo does care for his sister. Since that’s the case, he probably wants to contribute to this contest, right?”

“Coincidentally my skills aren’t great. I’ll start practicing on a slow-moving target like you to warm up… perfect timing~”

Yan Zuo was stunned.

He looked up at Yan Liang pleadingly, trying to step forward and cling to his sister’s leg in a spoiled way.

But this time, the pistol Qin Jiang had pointed at his brow was expertly cocked by the man!

No… Qin Jiang has this skill?

It didn’t look like his first time handling this at all!!

“Stay put in your wheelchair!”

“Yanyan’s legs are not for you to touch!!”

Everything about Yanyan could only be possessed by him.

Only him… to be loved and held onto.

Yan Zuo was even more stunned.

Could it be… it was true that it was impossible for two truly different kinds of people to share the same bed?
