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

"Lingyu!"

"Aaaaaah—!"

"You killed my daughter! I'll fight you to the death..."

"What did you just call her? Whose daughter did I kill?"

Jiang Yingrong broke down emotionally and rushed over to confront Qin Ge, but Qin Ge stopped her in her tracks with a single sentence.

Seeing the blood-stained bamboo in Qin Ge's hand again, he calmed down a bit, feeling a chill to the bone.

It wasn't just that she felt heartbroken because her daughter died in the Qin Song, but that the bamboo in the Qin Song truly pierced her heart.

Jiang Yingrong's eyes widened, and the strength in her hands gripping the bamboo dissipated rapidly as her life force faded, and she soon breathed her last.

Qin Ge slowly pulled the bamboo off Jiang Yingrong, then smiled at Su Li, "It's such a small matter, is it worth arguing with them like that?"

"Look, a couple of stabs and the world is quiet. Learn from this."

Su Li: "..."

The bodyguards were terrified at the sight, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

"Clap clap clap—"

In the blink of an eye, the bodyguards who rushed towards Qin Ge were beaten to a pulp, their teeth knocked out on the ground, and their cries of pain echoed throughout the room.

Anyone who has had a complete childhood knows how painful it is to be hit with bamboo.

It's better to be in pain than to lose your life. As long as you howl loudly enough, you've done your duty.

Su Shiyue was stunned, his mind reeling, his thoughts racing. Finally, he forced a smile at Su Li, "Li'er, you're the real Li'er, aren't you?"

He looked at Qin Ge with a sense of dread. "Li'er, what's going on? And who is this?"

"My name is Qin Ge, and I'm Su Li's boyfriend." Qin Ge stared at Su Shiyue with great interest, making him feel uneasy. "Su Shiyue, haven't you finished acting yet?"

"Has the theme changed now? Are they putting on a touching father-daughter act just to survive?"

"Why would you say that?" Su Shiyue's face was stern, but he didn't dare to be too obvious because of his fear of Qin Ge, making him look somewhat comical. "Even if you really are Li'er's boyfriend, you can't talk like that!"

"Don't they even understand basic manners in front of their elders?"

He forced himself to say these words, his heart pounding, "Li'er, when did you start dating your boyfriend? And what just happened?"

"This..." Su Li was blushing and her mind was not quite clear.

Before going home, she had mentally rehearsed countless scenarios that she might face, but none of them were like this one.

"Seriously? You're still going to act?" Qin Ge was truly impressed by Su Shiyue's shamelessness. "You're practically running around naked in the streets, thinking nobody knows anything?"

"Su Li is easy to fool, but I'm not so easily fooled!"

"If you don't behave, you can talk to this bamboo stick in my hand!"

Su Shiyue's eyelids twitched, and he hid behind Su Li, saying, "You...you mustn't do anything rash!"

His mind raced, almost to the point of exhaustion, but he still couldn't come up with a solution.

"You...you mustn't kill him!" Su Li, worried that Qin Ge would harm her father, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Ge's arm.

Still feeling uneasy, she simply grabbed Qin Ge's arm and held her close, completely unaware that her full breasts were being squeezed and deformed.

"He's my dad. Jiang Yingrong and her daughter deceived him. If my dad knew the truth, he wouldn't have done this!"

"Is that so? Are you lying to yourself too, or are you still unwilling to give up?" Qin Ge glanced at Su Shiyue indifferently. "You and Jiang Lingyu were just vying to prove your identities, recounting many old stories from your past."

"But ultimately nothing came of it, and I never wondered why?"

"You say whatever comes to mind, while Jiang Lingyu is prepared and says whatever comes to mind."

"If you set the questions and provide the answers yourself, of course there won't be any problems."

"But what about Su Shiyue? Doesn't he really have the ability to tell which one is his own daughter?"

"He could have asked questions. If he had asked the questions instead of Jiang Lingyu herself, he could have asked a few more questions, and Jiang Lingyu would have eventually been unable to answer them."

"Even if she's incredibly bright, she can't be a portable hard drive. She can't possibly memorize everything about you from childhood to adulthood, can she?"

"The truth is, Su Shiyue didn't do that; he didn't want to expose Jiang Lingyu!"

Su Shiyue panicked immediately, trying hard to remain calm. "You...you've slandered me!"

"I...I just wasn't thinking that much about it!"

"Is that really true?" Qin Ge continued, "Su Li, I remember you said that when Jiang Yingrong plotted against you, it was your old butler who risked his life to buy you a chance to escape, right?"

"And then?"

"Aside from Jiang Yingrong's people continuing to hunt you down, the Su family hasn't made any other moves, right?"

"You were replaced by Jiang Lingyu. Logically speaking, it's normal that no one in the Su family noticed, but what about that old butler?"

"He's been with the Su family for so many years, and then suddenly he disappeared without anyone noticing. Everyone just ignored him. Is that normal?"

Qin Ge lightly flicked the bamboo in his hand, leaving a bloody mark on Su Shiyue's face. "Don't misunderstand, I'm not the kind of person who likes to reason."

"Just look at Jiang Yingrong and her daughter, and you'll understand. If you don't behave yourself, I'll have no choice but to send you on your way!"

Su Li's heart sank, and her expression turned sorrowful. "Dad, why are you doing this? Do you really want me to die?"

"I'm your own daughter!"

"Jiang Lingyu is also my daughter! You killed her!" Su Shiyue shouted, his state becoming somewhat deranged.

"Now that it's already happened, why did you come back?"

"I've started a new life, and you insist on ruining it, on making me lose the people I care about, and only feel satisfied when I'm dead?"

Su Li was stunned; she couldn't believe these words came from her father's mouth.

So Qin Ge was right last night. Her father and Jiang Yingrong had been having an affair for a long time. Jiang Lingyu was also his daughter. They were the mother and daughter who were the people her father cared about.

Then what am I? And what is my deceased mother?

"I never wanted to marry your mother in the first place; it was your grandfather who forced me to!"

"Yingrong is the person I love most. She also gave birth to a daughter for me. The three of us have finally been together and are about to start a new life."

"But all of this has been ruined by this mysterious person you brought back!"

Su Shiyue completely lost his composure and no longer cared whether Qin Ge would kill him.

Su Li's eyes welled up with tears. "So you really did kill my mother back then, and that wasn't enough to vent your anger, so years later you had Jiang Yingrong and the others kill me?"

"Have you never treated me like a daughter?"

How could you be so heartless!

"The plot has changed! It's turned into some melodramatic love triangle with a wealthy family?" Qin Ge pressed Su Li down into a chair. "Don't believe him, he's still trying to fool you!"

"Don't you find it strange that someone who is clearly cold-hearted has suddenly become so affectionate?"

"Su Shiyue, do you think you can make up whatever you want just because Jiang Yingrong is dead?"

"You want to create a pitiful image for yourself, to soften Su Li's heart, and then she'll plead with me to spare your life, right?"
