Chapter 80: Qin Jiang’s Merely Ms. Liang’s Plaything? Overturning The Old Manor!!

Once Yan Liang left, Qin Jiang already felt the atmosphere around him change.

Someone was watching him.

Qin Jiang pretended not to notice and allowed Zhou Ning to lead him toward the lounge.

But only halfway there, trouble predictably arose.

A pot-bellied man blocked their path, and behind him were five or six bodyguards — clearly looking to pick a fight.

Qin Jiang remained expressionless, while Zhou Ning’s eyes turned cold and stern.

He didn’t think anyone in the old manor would really dare to challenge the Young Mistress’s authority.

But the next moment, the man sized Qin Jiang up from head to toe and arrogantly said, “Oh? Since when did the Yan family get such a top-tier pretty boy?”

“Tsk tsk, it seems my niece really dotes on him — even sent Zhou Ning to guard him. Are you afraid this precious darling might meet with some accident in the Yan house?”

“As expected of my niece’s picky taste — this man does have a certain charm to him.”

“Good-looking, and his figure…”

The fat old man clicked his tongue, his gaze unashamedly lecherous.

Qin Jiang felt disgusted under that deliberate stare. Of course, he had seen this man before in his previous life.

The man was none other than Yan Liang’s second uncle — Yan Yufan!

As a member of the main family, ever since Yan Liang’s father — his elder brother Yan Rong’an — suffered a “stroke and paralysis.”

The influence he had placed inside the Yan Group was ruthlessly removed by Yan Liang’s cruel methods.

This infuriated him.

After all, he was Yan Liang’s second uncle. It was one thing for her to be cruel to her own parents, even though they were her elders.

But he was still her elder, and more importantly, he hadn’t offended her.

Why had he been forced to retreat by Yan Liang’s methods to the point of “voluntarily” relinquishing power?

So he flattered her in public while secretly waiting to find Yan Liang’s weakness and deliver a fatal blow.

Luckily… the opportunity came quickly.

Yesterday someone had delivered secret intel: Yan Liang had a weakness — a man she had recently kept by her side — Qin Jiang!

It was said Yan Liang even publicly announced to Yan Group that he was her husband.

This man’s looks indeed seemed like the sort that could tie up a woman’s heart.

And even from a man’s perspective… his looks still had residual charm!

Second Uncle Yan found himself a bit tempted.

“Second Master, watch your mouth!”

“Mr. Qin is the man our Young Mistress formally… married, he counts as half an owner of the Yan family.”

“If you keep spouting nonsense like that, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Zhou Ning still gave the Yan family members face.

He gave them face, but not much.

His cold tone instantly made Second Uncle Yan’s expression darken. “Zhou Ning, you’re nothing but a servant, yet you dare to speak back to me?”

“Men, seize him!”

“And bind Qin Jiang too…”

Second Uncle Yan smiled as he gave orders. Everyone in the Yan house knew about Second Master Yan’s little perversions.

And because the Yan Group was so powerful, there were even people fighting to get into his bed.

But those who threw themselves at him weren’t as interesting as ones he captured himself.

In Second Uncle Yan’s view, since his monstrous little niece Yan Liang had already “married” seven sacrificial grooms and the death of those seven men had caused no fuss, then even if this eighth one died by his accident, Yan Liang would scold him, at most.

As far as he was concerned, Qin Jiang was just a pretty boy who married into the Yan family. So what if he died?

There’s no way she’d make him accompany him in death, right?

“Mr. Qin, be careful!”

Zhou Ning frowned, shoved two black objects into Qin Jiang’s hands, and directly took on the bodyguards Second Uncle Yan had sent.

He was strong, but the bodyguards the Yan Group could hire were no pushovers.

They could be dealt with, but it would take time.

Qin Jiang watched the scene unfold exactly as it had in his previous life.

He looked down at the handgun and grenade in his hands.

It was… a bit absurd, and kind of thrilling!!

It felt like a real-life game of Counterstrike.

In his last life he was terrified — after all, he was just a sophomore, terrified of aristocratic family struggles.

He avoided firearms even more.

At the time he had simply tossed away what Zhou Ning gave him.

To him, Zhou Ning — placed by Yan Liang to watch and restrain him — was even more frightening.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Ning was held back by Second Uncle Yan’s men, he escaped on his own.

Soon he circled along the only path and fled to the edge of the icy lake.

There, Yan Zuo and Yan Han were already waiting.

They were just waiting for him to be driven to a dead end…

But this time.

Qin Jiang gripped the gadgets Zhou Ning gave him, quickly stashing them into his clothes.

Then he put on a terrified look and sprinted toward the lake.

Yan Yufan saw his duck about to fly away.

He hurried after him, all his fat jiggling.

In Qin Jiang’s previous life… he had of course chased after Qin Jiang too.

But he ran too slowly, so by the time he reached the lake, Qin Jiang had fallen into the water, and Yan Zuo and Yan Han stood at the shore watching quietly.

Later, when he suffered Yan Liang’s crazed and vicious revenge, he realized he had been used by the two Yan young masters.

He had become a gun in their hands.

Of course, Yan Han and Yan Zuo were not spared either.

The yandere, violent Young Mistress’s fury was indiscriminately destructive!

But that’s a story for later…

At this moment Qin Jiang deliberately ran toward the ice lake, and the path there passed several green belts that were blind spots from the pavilion’s viewpoint.

Second Master Yan ran for some time only to suddenly find no one ahead.

He was about to continue when he suddenly felt something pressed against the back of his head.

Second Master Yan, worldly as he was, instantly knew what was pressed to his skull… a gun barrel.

“Qin… Qin Jiang?”

“You shameless pretty boy, seducing my niece is nothing to be proud of! But if you come with me, what she can give you I can give too, maybe you should consider… Owww!”

Yan Yufan didn’t necessarily crave Qin Jiang’s body. It was just that violating Qin Jiang would mean seizing something that belonged to Yan Liang.

It would naturally challenge Yan Liang’s authority.

His brutal and vicious niece had arrogantly seized control of the Yan Group.

He intended to humiliate her by doing this!

But before he could finish speaking, Qin Jiang swiftly stuffed a torn rag — ripped from his own clothes — into his mouth.

The next moment his fat body was effortlessly flipped over by the tall man, who raised a sharp stone and cleanly, mercilessly smashed it onto his vital area…

“UMFFFF!”

Pain! It pierced to his heart!!

Even worse, his manhood seemed to have been directly crushed by the stone.

Even with his mouth stuffed.

He couldn’t help howling, but the next moment the pain silenced him.

“Tsk, you must be a headless chicken running around and unable to find your mother. Your breath smells worse than fungus on feet. I’m not a dumpster, so don’t treat me like trash!”

“It’s like you smeared glycerin in your mouth early — leaving oily stains everywhere!”

Qin Jiang felt thoroughly disgusted.

But… this was exactly what he intended to do.

He did not get to retaliate during his previous life. This time he would retaliate fully.

Then, Second Uncle Yan suddenly felt a chill between his legs.

Qin Jiang, seemingly from nowhere, pulled out a folding dagger, its sharp blade flashed a chilling glint.

“Want some scrambled eggs with tomatoes?”

Qin Jiang tilted his head and smiled oddly.

Second Uncle Yan was too stunned to speak.

“Umf… umf umf…”

No, don’t! Help*! Ahhhh**!!*

However, no one would hear his cries for help.

Because the moment he fell, Qin Jiang had already injected him with a small anesthetic he had prepared in advance.

After all, he knew he was coming to the Yan family’s old manor, a place filled with traps and villains.

If he came totally unprepared and relied entirely on Yan Liang’s protection, he’d be utterly useless as a man.

For all impending dangers, Qin Jiang had long been prepared.

And at this moment Second Uncle Yan was as good as fish on a cutting board, at Qin Jiang’s mercy.

The key was his howls were loud, even heart-wrenching.

But under the anesthetic’s effect, his cries could only attract a few ants.

So Qin Jiang crouched down and, in a seemingly kind gesture, removed the rag from his mouth.

Like someone admiring an ant about to be crushed, his gaze was cold and merciless.

It was the frosty indifference of someone who held high status.

In his previous life, he was trapped by familial ties and indecisive in action.

But now he had nothing to worry about.

With a yandere wife handling all the aftermath, he could go ahead and run wild. He was going to avenge any grievances, repay any hatreds!

“Tsk… you’re already scared?”

“Yan Yufan, you crossed me — you’ve just met your doom.”

“How can scrambled eggs with tomatoes be without eggs? Let me borrow two of yours~~”

Qin Jiang pulled surgical rubber gloves he’d prepared from his pocket and slowly slid them on.

He’d never performed surgery nor practiced dissections.

But in all the years beside the Young Mistress Yan Liang, mere exposure was enough to make him somewhat adept.

So Qin Jiang elegantly raised his hand and the blade fell…

Second Uncle Yan screamed and howled, then something was shoved into his mouth.

Something soft that made him gag and feel suffocated with nausea.

He would never… never dare provoke Yan Liang again!

Nor would he dare touch her people — this seemingly harmless, even genteel young man… was truly terrifying!

The man fainted from fright.

Only then did Qin Jiang stand up, disdainful. With Second Uncle Yan he used a swift, decisive method.

After all, such an inhuman yet impotent creature was not worth his prolonged amusement.

In the end, he was just a fool.

Back then, Yan Liang probably didn’t bother with him because he was too stupid — not worth dirtying her hands.

But now, Qin Jiang would handle it for her.

Still too stupid to merit killing.

But he could be given a “cripple” package.

After completing his mission, Qin Jiang disdainfully kicked the half-dead Second Uncle Yan into the bushes.

He rose, his white gloves stained with blood. He peeled them off with disgust and threw them away.

Then Qin Jiang continued toward the icy lake.

This time his expression showed anxiety and tension. His tailored suit was slightly rumpled, and he fled toward the pavilion by the lakeside as though he was running for his life, frantic and helpless.

But this time, as expected, Qin Jiang did not see Yan Zuo — that kid had been bled last time and was probably still unconscious.

Instead, he saw an expected figure in a wheelchair — Yan Han — and another familiar face: Yan Qicheng!

Hm, not bad. That was Yan Yufan’s eldest son.

Father and son fighting together… Yan Han was quite capable of finding scapegoats.

Qin Jiang continued his frantic “escape” to the pavilion.

Seeing the two “strangers”, he put on a terrified expression and warily asked, “Y-you… who are you?”

This time, Yan Qicheng took on the role that Yan Zuo had in his previous life.

He was the first to provoke and belittle him.

Then Yan Han coldly said things that shattered his mental defenses, line after line.

These were the exact same words as before, but this time Qin Jiang didn’t believe a single one.

He feigned a dazed expression, approached the wheelchair-bound Yan Han, suddenly leaned in and whipped off the expensive blanket covering the man’s legs…

Uh oh.

Yan Qicheng was stunned.

Eldest Young Master Yan Han was notorious for having the same violent temper as Yan Liang.

Since losing the use of his legs and being confined to a wheelchair, his legs had become a taboo.

They absolutely could not be touched.

Nor could they be mentioned or belittled.

Otherwise, that person would die horribly.

Yet Qin Jiang acted like a madman: after ripping off the thin blanket, a small knife slid out from Qin Jiang’s sleeve while Yan Han was too stunned to react.

The sharp little blade moved almost magically in his hand.

He flicked his wrist a few times and… Yan Han’s pant legs were torn to pieces.

And the ugly scars on his legs were exposed without dignity or concealment under the light.

Qin Jiang quickly gasped, “Oh my… how ugly~”

“You’re Yanyan’s older brother Yan Han, right? I heard you can never stand again?”

“That’s not really bad thing if you look at it more positively… you can sit in a wheelchair forever, while your own father lies paralyzed in bed without even the luck to sit in a wheelchair.“

“Look how lucky you are~~”

Qin Jiang sneered nastily, his deliberate insults causing Yan Han’s face glower more and more.

But in that moment Yan Han came to realize something.

This was clearly Qin Jiang’s counterattack.

How did Qin Jiang discover his plan? How did he know that he would be targeted upon arriving at the old manor as part of their plan to hurt Yan Liang?

“Qin Jiang, how dare you humiliate me!”

“You’re just a plaything in Liang’s hands. You actually think highly of yourself?”

“Yan Qicheng, hurry and push him…”

According to the intel Yan Han received, the plot to push Qin Jiang into the icy lake had been tailored for Qin Jiang and Yan Liang.

Qin Jiang was afraid of water and couldn’t swim.

And Yan Liang, frantic, would surely jump in to save him, but Yan Liang’s body… was absolutely unsuited to soaking in ice water, especially glacial melt.

All of this would accelerate Yan Liang’s death.

But Yan Han didn’t care. What he wanted was for Yan Liang to die sooner!

Yet he had miscalculated.

Wasn’t Qin Jiang supposed to hate Yan Liang and wish her dead?

Shouldn’t he be cooperating with him now?

“Qin Jiang, if you jump, I can guarantee you’ll be free.”

“You’ve long wanted to escape Liangyue Manor, haven’t you? I can help you, just jump…”

Yan Han’s seductive words were meant to coax Qin Jiang into jumping into the lake.

But Qin Jiang merely nonchalantly pulled out a handgun.

He awkwardly pulled the trigger and fired a shot at Yan Qicheng, who had come to push him.

“Ah… this gun is nice. The misfire was very precise.”

Yan Qicheng was shocked. Damn!! How does this kid have a gun?

Then Qin Jiang circled behind Yan Han and grabbed the wheelchair’s push handles.

He shoved and kicked it hard toward the icy lake~~

“Bye-bye now~~”

Yan Qicheng was even more terrified.

This guy was just a pretty boy…but he was also so savage??

Zhou Ning, who had rushed over like crazy to protect Qin Jiang, watched with wide eyes as he watched Qin Jiang push the Eldest Young Master Yan, wheelchair and all, into the lake!

“Mr. Qin! Are you alright?”

Zhou Ning really meant to ask: Is your mental state okay?

This didn’t seem like normal behavior to him.

“Yup. Perfectly fine.”
