I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"you--!"

Song Wanying was so angry that her liver trembled, her body trembled, and her speech became disordered.

Its eyes were wide open, as if it wanted to devour someone.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Do you dare say I've said anything wrong?"

Qin Ge originally wanted to hold back, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

It doesn't matter if he offends Song Wanying. If he can't communicate with her, he'll just barge into the Lin family. He doesn't have to go through Song Wanying's route.

Song Wanying was clearly on the verge of a breakdown. Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.

"Pfft—"

Yang Xin'er, sitting in the corner, heard everything clearly and couldn't help but laugh out loud before quickly lowering her head.

Song Wanying, Song Wanying, why did you have to provoke that bastard Qin Ge?

She suddenly realized that Qin Ge was quite polite and gentle to her.

"You're spouting nonsense just because I said a few words to you. Would I have said anything to you if it weren't for Lin Yao's sake?"

"It's all for your own good!"

Song Wanying still appeared assertive, but her tone softened considerably due to her guilty conscience. Qin Ge's "debunking" was too accurate; she had no choice but to panic!

"Would I say that to a stranger?"

"How can a grown man be so petty..."

"Okay, okay, stop it, stop it!" Qin Ge interrupted Song Wanying. "Right now, I really want to slap you so you know it hurts to be hit. I'm doing this for your own good, okay?"

"Don't blame others for your own foul mouth; a grown man like you owes him nothing!"

"What era are we living in? Stop with this 'for your own good' nonsense! It's disgusting!"

"If you're trying to discourage me, to make me realize the gap between Lin Yao and me, so I'll give up, then don't bother. Can't we just skip this part?"

"I don't have time to waste with you. Lin Yao must have her reasons for asking me to find you. Just tell me what you know!"

Now that things have come to this point, if Song Wanying is unwilling to talk about it, there's nothing he can do. He might as well go directly to Lin Yao!

"Are you going to tell or not?"

"If Lin Yao has entrusted herself to the wrong person, then so be it!"

Qin Ge stood up immediately.

"What's your hurry?" Song Wanying rolled her eyes. "You arrogant and rude guy!"

"Lin Zhinian of the Lin family, who is also Lin Yao's grandfather, fell ill some time ago."

When Lin Yao returned to Jinling from Donghai, her grandfather had already fallen ill. Han Xiuyun only brought Lin Zhinian back because she saw that Lin Zhinian's condition was not good.

Lin Yao was originally a medical student, and after returning home, she helped take care of her grandfather.

Lin Zhinian's condition didn't improve much, but there weren't any major problems either, until Lin Yao found a famous doctor.

After that so-called famous doctor treated Lin Zhinian, Lin Zhinian's condition worsened, and he later fell into a coma and has not woken up since.

Lin Yao was the one who found the person, and only she and that famous doctor were present during the treatment. After such an incident, she naturally cannot escape responsibility.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to cause trouble, and Lin Chen couldn't show favoritism towards his daughter, so Lin Yao was placed under house arrest, and the famous doctor she had found was also taken into custody by the Lin family.

Strangely, the renowned doctor disappeared from the Lin family's residence the very next day!

They vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air!

Lin Yao felt guilty and had nothing to say while under house arrest. She had been trapped in deep remorse for some time.

As Song Wanying was speaking, the waiter brought over a delicate breakfast.

"What are you looking at? I didn't order any for you!"

"Order whatever you want, but I have to warn you, breakfast here isn't cheap. You might not even be able to afford it once a month with your entire income. If you can't afford it, just bear with it!"

Song Wanying picked up her knife and fork and looked at Qin Ge provocatively.

"No need, I have my own breakfast." Qin Ge gave Song Wanying a look of pity, as if she were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities. "What do you mean by that famous doctor suddenly disappearing?"

"How could a perfectly healthy person just disappear without a trace, especially while the Lin family had people guarding them!"

He sensed a strong conspiracy. Only someone within the Lin family could have orchestrated all this; there was a mole in the Lin family!

Qin Ge immediately identified Lin Yuan as the most likely motive, based on what Yang Xin'er said.

Lin Yuan's target is probably not Lin Yao, but Lin Chen!

The struggle for the crown prince position—who hasn't watched some TV dramas about it?

"Don't ask me, I've already told you everything I know!"

Song Wanying ate her breakfast without even glancing at Qin Ge. "If you want to know anything else, just ask Yao Yao. That's all she told me."

"But you won't be able to see her. Until the matter is investigated thoroughly, even I will find it difficult to see her."

"You'd better not meddle in the Lin family's affairs. The squabbles of wealthy families are none of your business!"

"This is Yao Yao's idea!"

"Why would Lin Yao tell you all this?" Qin Ge still didn't quite understand. "Did she know all along that I would come to Jinling to find her?"

"How should I know!" Song Wanying looked up at the person with the whites of her eyes. "That's all Yao Yao told me."

"She said if someone surnamed Qin contacts me, I should tell him all this and advise him to leave Nanjing and not interfere."

"I don't like you, I can't be bothered to reason with you, do whatever you want!"

"Alright!" Qin Ge took out his phone and quickly typed a message, "I also don't like you, but for Lin Yao's sake, and because the information you provided is still somewhat useful, thank you."

He clicked send, and Song Wanying's phone immediately rang. "Wei Rou will be very good for you. Combined with this prescription, your skin will improve in at most half a month."

"Consider this a small token of my gratitude!"

He glanced at Song Wanying's deceptively voluptuous figure. "If I ever release a breast enhancement product, I'll remember you as a customer!"

After Qin Ge finished speaking, he got up and left without waiting for Song Wanying's response. However, he did not leave the restaurant but went to Yang Xin'er's table and sat down opposite her.

"Stop right there! Who wants you..." Song Wanying stood up angrily, just in time to see Qin Ge sitting down opposite Yang Xin'er, and she was stunned for a while.

Yang Xin'er's beauty made her feel inferior; that stunning face seemed somewhat familiar.

"Are you Yang, Yang Xin'er, Miss Yang?"

Yang Xin'er ignored Song Wanying because Qin Ge had dragged her breakfast away. "Hey! I've already eaten this!"

"It's okay, I don't mind." Qin Ge ate with relish. "You owe me breakfast, have you forgotten?"

"Besides, we're already in that kind of relationship, why would we care about these details?"

"Don't talk nonsense! What kind of relationship?!" Yang Xin'er was both embarrassed and angry. "You can't expect anything good to come out of your mouth. Everything you say sounds completely different!"

Last night, after Qin Ge cured her of the poison, he teased her until she was completely flustered. Then the hotel security guards arrived, and then the police arrived.

Yang Xin'er revealed her identity to dismiss the police officers and let them handle the scene. No one dared to make things difficult for Qin Ge, and the hotel even offered to change Qin Ge's room.

While Qin Ge was marveling at how having connections in the court made things easier, Yang Xin'er had already slipped away, arriving at Qinglan Restaurant a day before Qin Ge that morning.

She knew exactly what Qin Ge meant by having breakfast together, but anyone could play dumb; eating here was just eating anyway!

Song Wanying was completely stunned. Qin Ge and Yang Xin'er's words and actions seemed far too intimate to her!
