31: Chapter 31 The Predictable Kidnapping
"Qin Ge, something big has happened!"
At Yunding Manor, Mu Xinyi came trotting in.
She quickly arrived at the living room.
She was moving so fast that the exertion caused her wounds to twinge with a sharp pain.
Qin Ge poured a cup of tea for Mu Xinyi with a calm smile, gesturing with his chin. "Sit. Have some tea before you speak."
Mu Xinyi's throat was parched. Her full figure strained against the fabric of her qipao, filling it out completely.
She gritted her teeth and said urgently, "You have no idea what's happened, yet you're still in the mood to sit here drinking tea?"
Qin Ge took a sip of tea. "Are you here to tell me about Jiang Yingxue and Lin Xiaojin being kidnapped?"
Mu Xinyi's beautiful eyes widened. "You know?"
"I suppose it makes sense. After all, this kidnapping was aimed at you. The kidnappers must have contacted you."
"But things are far more complicated than you think!"
Qin Ge nodded with a smile. "It is indeed quite complicated. Originally, it was just Chen Kai wanting revenge on me. Then he hit it off with Qin Zou midway, and the two of them even found Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan then even managed to involve his Senior Sister?"
He called it complicated, but it was actually quite straightforward.
Chen Kai and Qin Zou's hatred for him was like a surging tidal wave.
Since the two were already acquainted, they naturally joined forces.
And through his connection with Qin Huanhuan, Qin Zou naturally sought out Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan wanted to help, but he was worried about exposing his identity.
After all, he harbored desires to possess both Jiang Yingxue and Lin Xiaojin.
He wanted to ruin Qin Ge while also gaining the favor of Jiang Yingxue and Lin Xiaojin.
Since he didn't dare show his face personally,
naturally, he could only call upon his Sixth Senior Sister, Ruan Xingrou, who had come down from the mountain to deliver the black jade continuous ointment.
Mu Xinyi stared at Qin Ge in stunned silence, wondering, "How do you know everything?"
This was insane!
She had rushed here without stopping the moment she received the news.
Yet, before she could even speak, Qin Ge already knew everything.
He even knew more details than her own intelligence reports?
Mu Xinyi felt a flicker of doubt and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get your information?"
Qin Ge didn't answer. Instead, he asked with a smile as warm as a spring breeze, "And where did your information come from?"
Mu Xinyi took out a listening device from her bosom. "I bribed a maid next to Chen Kai. I heard it through this bug."
In a move identical to Mu Xinyi's, Qin Ge also took out listening devices.
However, he had three of the same bugs.
Qin Ge introduced two of the bugs in his hand one by one. "This one is Chen Kai's, and this one is Qin Zou's."
Mu Xinyi pointed at the third bug. "Then whose is that?"
Qin Ge smiled without saying a word, just staring at Mu Xinyi.
"Mine?"
Mu Xinyi pointed at her own nose, feeling incredulous. "You've dirtied I don't know how many of my outfits, and I've changed several times. Where did you install this bug?"
Qin Ge chuckled and set his teacup back down. "Don't you have some clothing on you that hasn't been changed?"
Mu Xinyi understood instantly.
She felt around the bandages wrapped around her.
Finally, at the bandage near her wound, she pinched a tiny chip.
She was filled with righteous indignation and shouted angrily at Qin Ge, "Qin Ge, are you a demon? You installed a bug inside my bandages!?"
Mu Xinyi was going crazy.
She had thought that this time, she was one step ahead.
That she had gained the upper hand over Qin Ge.
Who would have thought that what she believed was only her own delusion?
Not just Chen Kai, but even Qin Zou and even herself were under Qin Ge's surveillance?
Mu Xinyi gritted her teeth.
She hated the feeling of being led by the nose at every moment. She launched a furious personal attack, "Qin Ge, you're just a heartless demon! You're even sitting idly by while Lin Xiaojin is kidnapped!"
Qin Ge remained noncommittal.
Firstly, Lin Xiaojin being kidnapped was unexpected.
The original kidnapping was only intended for Jiang Yingxue.
With Jiang Yingxue's spoiled personality, a good scare was necessary.
Secondly, the kidnapper this time, Ruan Xingrou, had a unique personality. She wasn't just a pathological misandrist, but also an extreme germaphobe.
With her there, nothing would happen to Jiang Yingxue and Lin Xiaojin.
Finally, it wasn't as if he hadn't taken any precautions.
Qin Zou and Chen Kai were both under his surveillance.
If they made even the slightest transgressive move, their heads would be blown off in the next instant.
He allowed contact between the Daughters of Destiny, but he would not tolerate any other male touching a single finger of a woman he had set his sights on!
Seeing that Qin Ge didn't deny it, Mu Xinyi huffed in dissatisfaction, "So, you did it on purpose?"
"You knew Jiang Yingxue and Lin Xiaojin would be kidnapped, yet you turned a blind eye."
"Is this to your advantage?"
"Are you going to use this opportunity to play the hero, save the beauties, and capture Lin Xiaojin's heart?"
Mu Xinyi's mind worked quickly.
In the blink of an eye, she understood the reason for Qin Ge's indulgence.
"There are benefits in that regard," Qin Ge nodded without denial.
However, such small gains were not the reason he sat by and let Ruan Xingrou kidnap Lin Xiaojin.
His relationship with Lin Xiaojin was very special. A cliché method like 'hero saving the beauty' would hardly lead to any further significant progress.
More importantly, the current Jiang Yingxue was too arrogant.
Lin Xiaojin was the best candidate to crush that arrogance in her heart.
He needed to pour a bucket of cold water over her from head to toe!
The feelings of regret he had painstakingly stirred up had been burned away by her blind self-confidence.
If he didn't do something,
Jiang Yingxue's nose might end up pointing straight at the sky.
Pah!
Disgusting!
Delusional woman!
Secondly, this matter involved Chen Yuan.
If the two women found out afterward, how much would they loathe Chen Yuan?
At that time, another generous sum of villain points would be in hand!
The final key was that the female kidnapper was Ruan Xingrou, Chen Yuan's Sixth Senior Sister.
Another Daughter of Destiny!
He was already worried about not having enough villain points to spend.
How could he let such a perfect tool go?
Ruan Xingrou had finally come down from the mountain.
How could Qin Ge bear to let her return to the mountain without shearing some wool?
Ruan Xingrou seemed powerful, but she actually had a fatal weakness.
She was a pathological misandrist.
Dealing with her was well within Qin Ge's grasp.
"Whoever offends you is truly doomed!"
Mu Xinyi lamented in her heart.
Before meeting Qin Ge, she thought her own intellect was sufficient.
But now, compared to Qin Ge,
her schemes were like a child playing in the mud.
Her self-confidence had taken a severe blow.
Qin Ge didn't answer, but instead sized up Mu Xinyi's data-monster curves, which were stacked with various buffs, with great interest. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Running over here so late at night, you must be tired? Why don't you rest for a while before you leave?"
Gulp!
Mu Xinyi swallowed hard, feeling a burning, dull pain at the corners of her mouth again.
She looked around and suddenly noticed a pack of snacks had slipped down beside the sofa where Qin Ge was sitting. She quickly changed the subject, "Qin Ge, your popping candy fell!"
Qin Ge shook his head, his smile becoming increasingly friendly. "No, it's your popping candy."
"Mmph!"
"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Mu Xinyi's shame and anger has risen. Reward: Host receives +2000 villain points!"
An hour later, while Qin Ge was coordinating information with Qiao Yingzi, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
He looked down and casually gave the back of Mu Xinyi's head a smack, grumbling irritably, "Are you fucking crazy? Planting a bomb at the G-spot, trying to counter-surveil me!?"
