Chapter 136: My Sister-in-Law Forced Me

"Please... don't do this..." Qin Yun kept her head bowed, her body trembling.

No one was willing to help her. In the past, she had sought out several wealthy and powerful individuals, but they either refused outright or demanded both the entire Qin family and her as their prize.

Yun Xuan was different from them. Although Qin Yun did not know him well, the simple fact that he was part of the Yun family was enough. It was the spices provided by Yun Xuan that had caused the Qin family’s business to flourish.

The growing strength of the Qin family made her anxious; she feared that one day the family would turn against them. Qin Wenlong had approached her more than once, threatening that if she did not become his woman, he would see to it that she lost her position as principal of Shengyu Flow High School, and that Qin Zhihua and Qin Yue would be left destitute.

Qin Wenlong could easily achieve this. Ultimately, there were two reasons why Qin Yue’s father had died.

First, he was brilliant and capable of leading the Qin family to greater heights; he had even been chosen by the former family head as the successor, a fact that Qin Wenlong, the eldest brother, could not tolerate.

Second, Qin Yun had originally been betrothed to Qin Wenlong, but she had fallen in love with Qin Yue’s father at first sight, which had nearly driven Qin Wenlong to madness.

Given these circumstances, Qin Wenlong had previously been busy in the capital overseeing the family’s business and had been unable to focus on Qin Yun.

It wasn't until Yun Xuan’s partnership with the Qin family stabilized the Longhu Group that they were able to focus on development and expansion. Now that Qin Wenlong had the opportunity, he was naturally prepared to stop at nothing to possess Qin Yun.

"Such touching shyness," Yun Xuan whispered, leaning against Qin Yun’s shoulder and inhaling the scent of her skin.

"Once you help me reclaim the Qin family, I will naturally fulfill your terms," Qin Yun said, biting her lip as she dodged his hand.

"Very well. Then please, tomorrow, after you’ve bathed, wait for me obediently," Yun Xuan said, looking at her with undisguised intensity.

Whatever her reasons for accepting his terms, it represented her moral decline and betrayal of her family. For a woman like this, Yun Xuan had absolutely no intention of being merciful.

"Can you really take back the Qin family within a day?" Qin Yun asked, suddenly recalling his earlier words.

"Would you like to make a bet?" Yun Xuan smiled.

Qin Yun remained silent; she was unsure if his words were true or false.

"I need to take a day off. Pardon me," Yun Xuan said with a smile, walking out the door.

...

After leaving the school, Yun Xuan found a secluded spot, equipped his power armor, and flew toward the capital.

In less than an hour, he was hovering above the city. Having obtained Qin Wenlong’s phone number, he quickly pinpointed his location: a villa on the outskirts of the capital.

Cloaked in stealth, Yun Xuan descended from the sky and entered the villa silently.

The first floor was empty, but from a room on the second floor came the sounds of heavy breathing and rhythmic, slapping noises.

Yun Xuan reached the doorway and peeked in to see Qin Wenlong and a woman engaged in a high-difficulty maneuver.

"Quite the performer, aren't you?" Yun Xuan began recording. There was something undeniably thrilling about witnessing such a scene firsthand.

Less than five minutes later, Qin Wenlong shuddered and went still.

"That's it?" Yun Xuan shook his head, stopped the recording, and summoned Bingxue to his side to initiate combat mode.

With two precise tranquilizer darts, both people collapsed before they could even react.

He brought out two nutrient pods and tossed Qin Wenlong into one. The cloning program began, requiring thirty minutes to complete. The tranquilizer was highly effective; unless someone called out to her, the woman wouldn't wake up for at least an hour.

Yun Xuan glanced around and spotted a wedding photo on the wall. He froze. "Well, damn. Qin Wenlong is truly courting death."

The photo on the wall was clearly of Qin Wenhu and the woman. It was Qin Wenhu’s wife! Qin Wenlong’s own sister-in-law!

"Since that's the case, I might as well orchestrate a fine show," Yun Xuan smiled broadly. He took a screenshot of the video and sent it from the computer in Qin Wenhu’s home directly to his mobile phone.

...

In the capital, at the Gourmet Management Association:

Qin Wenhu was discussing the planning of a gourmet competition with Su Yinya. Ordinarily, this was not something he needed to handle, but because it involved whether the Longhu Group could advertise, he had to be there.

Su Yinya found the request unacceptable because the gourmet competition required sponsors to be at least four-star or five-star restaurant owners. To these restaurants, it was a golden opportunity for advertising and a perk for four-star chefs. As for the Longhu Group? They were barely a food processing enterprise with a three-star chef, yet they wanted to be a sponsor?

"Miss Su, the spice refinement for our food processing plant was done by the four-star chef Yun Xuan. If we could persuade him to..." Before Qin Wenhu could finish, he felt his phone vibrate.

"Director Qin, if you have something to attend to, please feel free," Su Yinya said, her brow furrowing in disdain.

Every four-star chef could only represent one establishment. Would Yun Xuan give up the chance to advertise for Xuanxue Restaurant to help the Qin family? Only a fool would believe that.

"Apologies, it must be an issue from the publishing side; there have been some recent decisions that are..." Qin Wenhu said as he opened his phone.

Seeing the expression on his wife’s face and the hand that didn't belong to him, Qin Wenhu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Was this legendary Photoshop? But if it was, how did they know his phone number?

"I am sorry, Miss Su, I have an urgent matter." Qin Wenhu gritted his teeth. Regardless of whether it was real, he had to go back and check.

Su Yinya was stunned. Before she could speak, Qin Wenhu had already rushed out.

Once out of the Gourmet Management Association, Qin Wenhu ordered his driver to return to the villa immediately.

Ten minutes later, they arrived.

"Protect me. If you see a stranger, use this to hold them," Qin Wenhu said, handing a pistol to the driver.

The driver nodded; as a retired soldier, he was no stranger to such matters.

The two went upstairs and heard the rhythmic slapping sounds along with the woman’s cries.

Qin Wenhu’s face turned leaden, his veins bulging with rage. Clenching his fists, he pointed at the door.

The driver, surprised by the situation but following the gesture, kicked the door open.

"Don't move!" the driver shouted, leveling the pistol at the two people on the sofa.

Qin Wenhu walked in and looked at the couple. He was completely stunned.

Seeing Qin Wenhu and the driver burst in, Qin Wenlong scrambled back in terror, causing droplets of unknown liquid to splash onto the woman’s face.

The driver froze, Qin Wenhu stood dazed, and Qin Wenlong and the woman looked on in sheer shock. The four of them fell into a deafening silence.

On the roof, Yun Xuan watched the scene through his super-notebook. Still cloaked, he covered his mouth, nearly laughing aloud.

"Get dressed and get out!" Qin Wenhu roared.

"Wenhu, listen to me! It was my sister-in-law who forced me!" Qin Wenlong glanced at the woman and betrayed her without a moment's hesitation.

"Get out!" Qin Wenhu pointed at the door and bellowed.

Qin Wenlong opened his mouth, wrapped himself in a bedsheet, and stumbled out.
