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

Cai Qingyi is skilled at tracking, and naturally, she's also adept at counter-tracking.

While the Jiang family sent a large number of people to search for Qin Ge's whereabouts throughout Beidu, she had already quietly moved into Yunxi Residence with Qin Ge and the others.

Yunxi Residence is a villa under Sun Shizheng's name. It was a gift from a wealthy man when he came to Beidu many years ago to treat a patient.

Even Sun Shizheng had almost forgotten about the existence of this villa, so the Jiang family was even less likely to notice it. Their people were mainly keeping an eye on various hotels and places like Yingwu Hall in Beidu.

"We're finally safe. As long as we don't go out, the Jiang family shouldn't be able to find us anytime soon."

"What else do you need me to do?"

After settling her family in, Cai Qingyi finally felt relieved and immediately went to find Qin Ge.

"Sit down!" Qin Ge put her phone aside after replying to Li Shuyan's message. "Tell me more about the Jiang family."

"You said before that Jiang Xianjue, the head of the Jiang family, had already retired behind the scenes, but because his sons died, he had no choice but to return to take charge, right?"

"Is there no one else in the Jiang family? Is the lineage dead?"

Without hesitation, Cai Qingyi replied, "Not really. Patriarch Jiang has two more daughters, but they're both married, and I've never met them."

"In addition, the head of the Jiang family has a granddaughter, Jiang Chaoning, who is the daughter of his eldest son, Jiang Xun."

She gazed at Qin Ge, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I really want to know why you're so interested in the Jiang family. Could you tell me?"

"Is it because the Jiang family sent me to keep an eye on you, and you resent what we did, so you know so much, purely to get revenge on the Jiang family?"

"Am I that bored?" Qin Ge thought for a moment. "Telling you won't hurt. I want the Jiang family!"

Do you think it's possible?

"Come on, tell me your thoughts. Also, where do you think we should start?"

"How about we try to find a breakthrough by focusing on Jiang Chaoning? How old is she? Is she married?"

Cai Qingyi's eye almost popped out of its socket. "You...you mean you want to control the entire Jiang family and make them work for you?!"

"Am I misunderstanding?"

She got the answer from Qin Ge's expression: "If it were before, I don't think it was possible."

"There is still hope, but it remains very difficult."

"Tell me more about it." Qin Ge was intrigued; he felt that Cai Qingyi's ideas were quite insightful.

Cai Qingyi is meticulous, quick-witted, and insightful. If she were to work in another field, she would surely achieve great success. It is truly a waste of her talents to be a mere spy.

Cai Qingyi sorted out her thoughts and said, "I'm just sharing my personal thoughts and speculations. If I'm wrong, don't blame me."

"I've always had a feeling that ever since the Third Master died, it seems the Jiang family head wants to 'retire from the criminal world'!"

"It's not just him personally, but the entire Jiang family that's completely withdrawing from the intelligence business they've built up over generations."

"I'm not just making this up out of thin air; there's some basis for it."

"After the Third Master died, Miss Jiang became the most suitable heir of the Jiang family, but the Jiang family head does not seem to have any intention of letting her inherit the Jiang family."

"If Patriarch Jiang feels that Miss is unsuitable, shouldn't he at least choose one of his two daughters?"

"In short, the head of the Jiang family is so old. To put it bluntly, he could pass away at any time. If he were to die, and there's no one to take over the Jiang family, wouldn't things fall into chaos?"

"But he didn't make any move at all, which is very unusual."

"Also, the Jiang family used to have very strict rules. No matter who made a mistake, they would face severe punishment."

"But after the Third Master passed away, the Jiang family head's temperament seemed to change. Several times when someone made a mistake during a mission, he did not punish them."

"This contrast gives me the feeling that the Jiang family head used to be so strict because he wanted the Jiang family to have a better future, but now it seems like he doesn't care about the future of the Jiang family anymore!"

"I think that in the eyes of the Jiang family head now, the Jiang family's powerful intelligence network is a hot potato; he doesn't want it anymore, but he can't get rid of it!"

"He doesn't want his daughter or granddaughter to take over; for him right now, the safety of his family is the most important thing."

"It's a hot potato, but also a sharp sword. If we lose our sword, the Jiang family's enemies and those we've offended will come out to settle scores with us."

Qin Ge's eyes lit up with admiration. "That's a really good analysis! I've really struck gold again!"

"It's not surprising that Jiang Xianjue is like this!"

"Having lost four sons and being so old, it's impossible for me not to be moved."

"As people get older, they inevitably become more hesitant and cautious in their actions. Moreover, he believed that the Jiang family's intelligence had caused the deaths of his four sons, making it even more difficult for him to let his daughter or granddaughter continue to bear this danger."

"The Jiang family has been cautious and meticulous for generations, but it was all ruined by Jiang Xun's radicalism. He overestimated the Jiang family's strength and underestimated the ruthlessness of their enemies!"

"But after all that, why haven't you gotten to the point?"

"The key point?" Cai Qingyi's mind raced, a look of confusion on her face. "Wasn't what I just said the key point?"

"Excuse me, I... I don't quite understand what your point is."

"Of course it's Jiang Chaoning!" Qin Ge was in a very good mood. Because of Jiang Xianjue's timidity and Jiang Chaoning's presence, things seemed to have become simpler.

"Miss Jiang?" Cai Qingyi still hadn't quite grasped the situation. "You want to kidnap Miss Jiang and use her to threaten the Jiang family head?"

"That won't do. If it were that easy to get the Jiang family head to hand over the Jiang family's intelligence network, the Jiang family would already be someone else's possession. Would it even be your turn?"

"Although kidnapping Miss Jiang is not an easy task."

Qin Ge rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of rude person?"

"A civilized person like me would naturally want to befriend Miss Jiang, not kidnap her!"

Tell me about her situation.

Cai Qingyi: "..."

I've only met Miss Jiang once, so I don't know much about her.

"She's about my age, around twenty-five, and unmarried."

"It is said that she had been studying abroad and only returned when Mr. San passed away."

"It seems that Miss Jiang intends to take over the Jiang family. She also wants to avenge her father and uncles, and has had several unpleasant arguments with the head of the Jiang family because of this."

"That's all I know about Miss Jiang, and it's all hearsay, so it's not reliable."

"To be frank, you probably can't take over the Jiang family through Miss Jiang. She herself can't do it."

"She can't do anything, but I can!" Qin Ge's lips curled up. "Is Jiang Chaoning pretty? How does she compare to you?"

Cai Qingyi was stunned for a moment, completely baffled by Qin Ge's train of thought. "Beautiful, very beautiful. Compared to her, I'm like an ugly duckling compared to a swan."
