That gloomy face was like the twelfth month of winter, so cold that it couldn't be colder. His purple eyes were slightly narrowed, but his gaze was as cold as frost, which made people shudder!
Qin Xiyao's voice was very soft, but it made Qin Peng shudder. His whole body went cold and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the edge of death!
Qin Peng began to realize that what Qin Xiyao gave him to drink was poison, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was!
His entire body was itchy and he wanted to scratch his skin with both hands. If he hadn't used his inner strength to hold on, he would have rolled on the ground!
Qin Xiyao became more and more of a mystery to him. She seemed no longer the same girl who knelt on the floor and begged him humbly for 100K coins of pocket money, and even got her head bruised, but he didn't even look at the little girl again!
Qin Xiyao's childhood was not happy. Their family's arrival was said to make it easier to take care of her, but in fact it was a disaster for her and the driving force behind her unhappy childhood. What he wanted was the property in her name!
If Qin Cheng and his wife had not planned everything for Qin Xiyao from the day she was born and transferred all the properties under their names to her, he would not have been so deliberately coveting her property and seizing it as a guardian.
He has had bad luck these years. After taking the position of the head of the family, he seems glorious on the surface, but he feels very empty inside!
Power is a good thing! Once you experience the pleasure that power brings, you will be reluctant to give it up!
Although he knew that he was not capable of managing the family or running the family business, Qin Peng still held on to the position of head of the family and refused to give up his position.
He used all the assets he secretly transferred from Qin Xiyao to make up for the losses in his business!
To put it bluntly, he looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact he is in debt!
The properties under Qin Xiyao's name are about to be turned into empty shells by him!
Qin Tiannan stripped him of his position as the head of the family, and his mind is still blank!
The creditors did not come to collect the debt because they felt that Qin Peng still had some value to them because he was the head of the Qin family. So they collected some interest for the time being and let him go!
However, once the news of his removal as the head of the Qin family spreads, he will become a rat crossing the street that everyone will shout and beat!
A strong desire to survive spread in Qin Peng's heart!
He wants to live, but he doesn't want to pay back his debts!
"Xiyao! What do you want in exchange for letting your uncle and sister go?"
Qin Peng asked with difficulty. He didn't know how long he could resist the poison with his internal strength. While he still had a breath and could speak, he hurriedly negotiated with Qin Xiyao.
He knew in his heart that Qin Xiyao was not thinking of taking their lives for the time being, but was thinking of torturing them and taking back the property that had been taken away from her.
However, the businesses that he had taken away from her name were suffering heavy losses, and he was no longer able to support them. Returning them to Qin Xiyao might be a relief!
Seeing the beads of sweat as big as soybeans on Qin Peng's forehead dripping onto the gorgeous carpet, Qin Xiyao knew that Qin Peng could not hold on any longer, so she stopped playing around with him and teasing him!
She got straight to the point: "Just answer a few questions truthfully!"
Qin Xiyao spoke in a very light tone, and she didn't sound like she was harboring evil intentions and wanted to find the person who was trying to cut off their source of trouble!
In fact, Qin Xiyao really wanted to cut off their source of support!
"Just ask! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Qin Peng couldn't help but complain. He was so itchy that he could hardly bear it. If he hadn't cared about his image, he would have reached out and started scratching himself!
"Is my parents' car accident related to you?"
Qin Xiyao always felt that the car accident involving the original owner's parents was not an accident, but man-made!
Her parents were both cultivators who were about to enter the Nascent Soul stage. Even if the floating car really rushed towards them, they could easily dodge it, and a car accident was impossible.
Unless it is man-made!
After Qin Cheng's accident, Qin Peng became the head of the Qin family and had always been thinking about the property under Qin Xiyao's name. It was hard for her not to suspect that he was related to the car accident of the original owner's parents!
After all, after Qin Cheng and his wife had a car accident, Qin Peng was the biggest beneficiary!
What's more, it is not uncommon for a younger brother to covet his elder brother's property, interfere and cause accidents to his brother and sister-in-law.
“It’s nothing!”
Qin Peng's answer was beyond Qin Xiyao's expectations, but Qin Xiyao didn't believe it!
If it were a thief, would he admit that he was a thief?
"Uncle! You'd better answer truthfully. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can give you the antidote to save you from suffering!"
Qin Xiyao said coldly that if Qin Peng continued to be stubborn, she would make him suffer.
"I'm in such a miserable state, why would I lie to you? My brother had an accident at that time, and my father and I were worried sick!"
"My first-level Jindan cultivation isn't the strongest in the family. If my father hadn't secretly helped me, my position as the head of the family would have been taken away by someone else in the Qin family!"
Qin Xiyao directly suspected Qin Peng, which seemed to be a bit unfair to him!
But Qin Peng did covet the property under her name and took away a lot of her assets!
At this moment, Qin Peng told her that her father had been in a car accident and the accident had nothing to do with him.
Will she believe it?
"Who is the other person in the Qin family?" Qin Xiyao asked.
"Qin Hao! My cousin! His father had a car accident on the same day and in the same place as his brother and sister-in-law!"
"As for the cause of the accident, we reported it to the Cultivator Disciplinary Association. They contacted us two weeks after investigating and said that the brakes on my brother and sister-in-law's car failed. It was an accident, not a human error, so they let us claim the insurance!"
"Qin Hao is not a simple person. He seems to be connected to the Shadow God Society. You'd better stay away from him from now on!"
Qin Peng seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but remind her.
However, Qin Xiyao's attention was focused on the issue of insurance compensation.
"How much did the insurance pay?" Qin Xiyao asked.
"About 10 million K coins?" Qin Peng said with a twinkle in his eyes, thinking: What is coming will eventually come!
"Where's the money?" Qin Xiyao asked.
"I spent it all!" Qin Peng said helplessly.
"You took the money my parents risked their lives for, and you just spent it all with such a clear conscience?"
"Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?" Qin Xiyao was angry!
She knew that 10 million K coins were in Qin Peng's hands, but she never thought that he would be so useless!
"Niece! I have no other options! Those creditors block my door every day, asking me for money, and I have no other options!"
After Qin Peng finished speaking, he took out an account book, a seal, a stack of contracts and IOUs from his storage ring.
"These are for you!"
Qin Xiyao opened the account book, took a look, and then closed it; then she picked up the stack of contracts and started looking through them. Finally, she finished reading the IOU with a gloomy face.
"You owed the debt yourself, why don't you use your own money to pay it back? Don't you have any hands or feet?"
Qin Xiyao was so angry that she almost threw the account book at Qin Peng's face.
