Chapter 62: Big Deal
Song Wangyuan's life briefly returned to normal.
Xin Que's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a lake; once the ripples subsided, it was as if he had never been there.
Back at the Song family home, Song Wangyuan let the insults and rebukes fill his ears. Only after Song Wenxian calmed down did he slowly return to his bedroom.
To this day, he still doesn't know why the Song family adopted him.
The Song family was like this when they rose to fame because of their talent, and they are still like this after they became disabled three years ago.
If the Song family disliked his existence, why did they reluctantly adopt him?
The narrow room was pitch black.
Song Wangyuan sat in the darkness for a long time before taking out a spare cell phone from the drawer.
The faint light from the screen reflected on Song Wangyuan's face, which appeared numb.
...
Xin Que was leaning back in her car seat, munching on a hamburger and scrolling through the news, when her phone suddenly vibrated, and she almost choked on her hamburger.
"Hello?" The mechanical voice on the other end of the phone remained emotionless. "Five days have passed since you accepted the order, and Song Wenxian is still perfectly fine."
"Is this the speed at which you get things done?"
Xin Que took a sip of orange juice to catch her breath, and only after her breathing calmed down did she speak, "Big brother, can't you give me some time to find out the other party's background?"
“Song Wenxian is no nobody; he carries considerable weight in the financial news channel and in the public eye now…”
The mechanical voice interrupted her, and she could sense the other person's impatience: "Your previous success stories weren't written like this, were they?"
Xin Que "..."
“Brother, killing someone and completely bringing him down are two completely different things,” Xin Que’s lips twitched. “Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you find his weakness to completely defeat him.”
"Besides... killing him isn't as easy as you think."
Having dealt with the plot for so long, Xin Que has figured out some patterns.
Protected by the plot, the main characters and important supporting characters with names and identities cannot be killed.
The mechanical voice on the other end of the phone fell silent.
After a long pause, the mechanical voice sounded again, "What other preparations do you need to make?"
...
Xin Que had just caught up with Song Wenxian's car when she received a picture from her employer.
It was the official painting of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin that Song Wenxian bought at a charity gala.
Xin Que glanced at the smooth features of the Guanyin sculpture, then tossed her phone onto the passenger seat and focused on the road.
This person is using compensation as a way to pressure her to meet deadlines.
Xin Que ignored him and continued to follow Song Wenxian's car at a distance, keeping to her own pace.
After tracking Song Wenxian for the past few days, Xin Que has roughly figured out his pattern of actions.
The working hours are not long, and the time spent at the company is even very limited.
He spends most of his time at the Xin family home, probably to keep Xin Xin company.
Every now and then, he would take Xin Xin to some business banquets.
The unexpected event occurred a week later.
"Second Miss..." The maid placed the fruit platter on the coffee table in front of Xin Xin and Song Wenxian, looking nervous and nervously twisting the hem of her uniform, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Xin Xin put away the bracelet Song Wenxian had given her, and glanced suspiciously at the maid who was standing by without any regard for the situation. "What's wrong?"
The maid was extremely embarrassed. "Uh... Miss is back."
Xin Xin's hand trembled as she held the bracelet, nearly dropping the bracelet and box together.
Xin Que strolled in leisurely.
Song Wenxian noticed that Xin Xin's hands were trembling involuntarily beside him, and the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.
He soothingly grasped Xin Xin's hand, then turned his cold gaze to Xin Que.
The woman was dressed casually in a long-sleeved sports jacket and cargo shorts, a stark contrast to Xin Xin.
“Xin Que,” Song Wenxian questioned Xin Que, who had wandered around the living room and then ignored the two of them, “is this your upbringing?”
"At home you bully and mistreat your own sister, and outside you you're a womanizer who's been targeted by a murderer—"
Xin Xin quickly covered Song Wenxian's mouth.
"Wenxian, stop talking. Sister needs her own space to rest. Let's go upstairs." Xin Xin forced a smile, but it looked worse than a grimace.
Xin awkwardly changed the subject, "By the way, I need you to take a look at my new design drawings. Shall we go to the study?"
Song Wenxian received the wrong signal completely.
He ignored Xin Xin's attempts to pull him out of Xin Que's sight, his eyes filled only with heartache for her enduring humiliation.
The fact that Xin Xin was so timid in front of her own sister shows that she must have been ostracized and schemed against by Xin Que quite a bit.
So he went straight for it.
Sang Xing, who was standing to the side, was ready to make trouble for Xin Que at any moment, but the woman in the entrance hall did not even glance at them and left the villa on her own.
The two had barely built up their cunning and treacherous aura when their target's complete disregard for them caused it to vanish at lightning speed.
Song Wenxian was very confident, taking Xin Que's indifference as a sign that he dared not confront her directly and was trying to escape.
This confidence lasted until he and Sang Xing were put in sacks and dragged into an alley to receive a beating from an unknown person as soon as they left the Xin family's house.
Xin Que came back specifically to ensure the young couple's driving safety, thoughtfully installing a GPS tracking service on their car.
She never expected Song Wenxian to be so enthusiastic and to ask her for the complimentary orthopedic check-up service.
Song Wenxian lay sprawled on the ground like a dead pig, letting Xin Que pluck his fingers and tap on the phone screen.
Xin Que smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the newly refreshed positive review on her phone screen.
If Song Wenxian hadn't been so familiar with the Xin family's place, and hadn't come without any bodyguards this time, she wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly.
After saying "Thank you for your patronage, boss," Xin Que left.
...
"President Luo," Cheng Zheng looked up from his phone in bewilderment, "Mr. Song Wenxian seems to be the target of revenge."
Luo Huayi was reviewing the contract when she heard this, and her brows furrowed.
"Seeking revenge?" He recalled the pair of yellow jade pieces that Song Wenxian had bought for Luo Huayi, and how he had threatened and taken his anger out on passersby. It wasn't surprising.
This person doesn't know how to restrain themselves and has offended too many people.
Xin Que never expected that beating up Song Wenxian would cause her to have a surge in orders.
Xin Que stared at the four orders that had been refreshed on her phone, lost in thought.
The first target was to kill Xin Que. They didn't even need to listen to the bugging device; they could tell at a glance that it was Xin Xin and Sun Xinyue's doing.
The second unit teaches Xin Que a lesson by kidnapping her...
The conversation from the listening device in Song Wenxian's car came through the left earphone.
"Sang Xing, who do you think is that audacious person who came looking for us in the alley to take revenge?"
Sang Xing desperately tried to recall what had happened that day and who among the people who disliked them were.
That person definitely took advantage of the fact that there were no security cameras in the alley to wait for the opportunity to squat there and take revenge.
"Young Master Song, could it be... Xin Que?" He thought of what Sun Xinyue and Xin Xin said when they came to the hospital to visit Song Wenxian's bruises.
The words were a clear hint to the boss to be wary of Xin Que.
They also said she had trained and her physical abilities were beyond those of ordinary people.
Song Wenxian also recalled how Xin Que pretended to be deaf and dumb when he verbally attacked her at the Xin family.
Song Wenxian was just about to ask, "Where does Xin Que, a woman, get such great abilities?"
But then he suddenly remembered what Xin Xin had said a long time ago: Xin Que knew a lot of bad friends in society and was a complete female hooligan.
“Sang Xing, regardless of whether it’s her or not, find someone to teach her a lesson so that Xin Xin won’t always be living in fear.”
"Xin Que is absolutely arrogant in the Xin family. If Old Master Xin can't educate her, then don't blame society for re-educating her."
Sang Xing nodded and immediately contacted someone to do it.
“Oh, right,” Song Wenxian suddenly remembered something, “there’s also the assassin I asked you to find… how’s the search going?”
Xin Que's lips twitched as she looked at the third order that killed Luo Huayi and the fourth order that killed Song Wenxian.
Is she... entering the rising phase of her career?
