Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Qin Siblings Scheme Against He Mingjin, The Third Master Watches with Cold Indifference

"You don’t believe me?!"

He Mingjin, doubted by Qin Ruan, had his eyes wide open, his face full of accusation as he looked at Qin Ruan, his sharply contoured face slightly sinking, showing signs of impending anger.

Because there were people around whom he dreaded, he was still suppressing the fury within his heart.

Qin Ruan’s gaze shifted downward, staring at He Mingjin’s waist area, and spoke with a light tone, "It’s not about believing or not, it’s about whether you really can."

Human physical abilities are limited; without the aid of drugs or other assistance, it’s really hard to achieve that frequency of practice.

He Mingjin was instantly enveloped in a cloud of gloom, his face alternating between shades of green and ashen, the entire person seeming immensely agitated.

His round eyes stared at Qin Ruan, wishing he could demonstrate on the spot, to discern whether he had that capability.

Huo Yunjiao sensed that the atmosphere was amiss and stretched out a hand to pull his delicate wife into his embrace, his eyes hiding a fierce light as he looked indifferently at He Mingjin.

Realizing something was off, He Mingjin immediately withdrew his gaze from Qin Ruan and reverted to his previous state of panic and insecurity.

He sighed softly, "Madam, everything I’ve said is true. Even when I wasn’t staying at that villa these past few days, the Puppet could find me. Even without a woman by my side, it could make me take anyone it wanted!

When I came here tonight, just by looking a bit longer at a woman on the street while sitting in the car, my body almost succumbed and was controlled by the Puppet again. If this continues, what will I become? I’ll surely be a laughingstock to everyone!"

Qin Jingcen had a complicated look in his eyes as he gazed at He Mingjin and opened his mouth curiously, "If the Puppet took a fancy to you, wanting to spend pleasure time with you is one thing, but why would she help you with other women?"

"Who knows!" He Mingjin slumped back on the sofa, a picture of utter misery.

Qin Ruan left Huo Yunjiao’s embrace, sat up straight, and asked with furrowed brows, "So you’re saying that the Puppet has been following you all this time?"

He Mingjin had a troubled expression and spoke irritably, "I’m not sure, but when I came over tonight, I had a feeling like my body was about to lose control.

At that moment, if my willpower had been even slightly weaker, you might not have seen me tonight, and by dawn, I could have woken up in some woman’s bed."

Qin Ruan’s voice took on a serious tone, "Mr. He, I haven’t detected any Puppet Energy on you, your body has no problems except for a bit of depletion."

"You don’t believe me?"

When He Mingjin heard this, he thought she still didn’t believe him.

Qin Ruan’s lips curved into a faint smile, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, but rather I’m a little curious about what kind of malign force could escape my eyes."

"Ruanruan!"

The handsome and mature Qin Jingcen came striding over, his gentle voice calling out her name, revealing his affection for his sister.

"Big brother!" Seeing the newcomer, Qin Ruan’s eyes lit up, "I just heard you were busy."

Qin Jingcen approached, his gaze fondly settled on Qin Ruan, and with a smile, he said, "No matter how busy I am, you’re still more important."

He nodded at Huo Yunjiao and sat next to Qin Mei.

Since he didn’t know He Mingjin, Qin Jingcen nodded to him coldly by way of greeting.

He Mingjin’s eyebrows raised slightly, his demeanor regaining composure, and he sat up straight to say warmly to Qin Jingcen, "So it’s Mr. Qin, I’ve long admired your reputation, He Mingjin."

Seeing the hand extended to him, Qin Jingcen raised his hand for a brief handshake, "Mr. He."

He Mingjin was quite friendly and warm, "What Mr.? Calling me that makes me feel old, just call me by my name."

Seeing him being so familiar with her big brother, Qin Ruan interrupted, "Big brother, this Mr. He is the eldest son of the He Family’s Great Elder of the Cabinet."

Qin Jingcen’s expression faltered slightly, but then a polite smile spread across his face, a distant attitude with a trace of politeness towards the distinguished guest, "It’s Mr. He indeed, the honor is mine."

Since marrying into the Huo Family, the Qin Family had become more acquainted with the upper ranks of society and knew that the He Family was the only one that could currently match the Huo Family.

He Mingjin waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t be so formal, since we’re all sitting together, we’re friends."

Then, changing the subject, he asked Qin Jingcen, "I heard that the Qin Family is in the jewelry trade."

Qin Jingcen humbly smiled, "Our family’s Bao Rui Gold Store does have a bit of fame, and it has been sufficient for the past few years."

He Mingjin crossed his legs casually yet elegantly, and threw out a conversational smoke bomb nonchalantly, "Then I wonder if Mr. Qin remembers the king of bids at the Nanying Public Disc two years ago?"

Qin Jingcen’s eyes flickered, his smile unchanged as he spoke with ease, "I know of it. Two years ago, the king of bids at the Nanying Public Disc was sold for one hundred and fifty million. It has always been a legend in the industry.

I heard that it later produced an Emperor Green of glass type, and many wanted to admire it, but unfortunately, it was bought in a grand manner by a certain power, and ever since, the king of bids vanished from public view. Rumor has it that the full green jewelry removed from the king of bids is worth over a hundred times the purchase price of the king of bids itself."

Speaking of his family business, Qin Jingcen became buoyant and sprightly.

His words betrayed the regret of not having seen the king of bids himself and the resentful yet envious attitude towards the mysterious power that purchased it.

It was unclear whether he was deliberately probing or genuinely expressing his feelings.

He Mingjin was a shrewd man, and as soon as Qin Jingcen spoke, he sensed something fishy.

Madam of the third son’s big brother was clearly testing him.

Of course, all this was deliberately led by him.

Supporting his chin with one hand, He Mingjin revealed a somewhat wicked smile on his face and said to Qin Jingcen, "Honestly, the person who bought the king of bids was me.

Two years ago, I bought it because I liked its color to play with at home, and it hasn’t been touched to this day. If Mr. Qin is interested, maybe you can see for yourself."

When Qin Jingcen heard He Mingjin mention last year’s king of bids, an idea had already formed in his mind, guessing that the other party might have news of that Emperor Green.

But he didn’t expect that the other was the buyer and even offered to let him have the glass-type full-green Emperor Green Jade Stone.

Qin Jingcen’s face lost its smile, and with a calm and composed expression, he shook his head, "Mr. He, I cannot accept something I have not earned."

He Mingjin couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, "Who says it’s all for nothing? Today, I asked Qin Ruan’s sister to save my life, and compared to that jade stone, my life is definitely more valuable."

"As an outsider, I can’t make the Emperor Green jade known far and wide, you know. Emperor green is quite rare nowadays, and I believe that once the Qin Family gets it, they’ll definitely reveal its true charm and value and bring fame to Qin’s Bao Rui Gold Shop."

More than just fame, once the Qin Family acquires this piece of Emperor Green raw stone, they will make a name for themselves in the global industry, and the Qin Family will rise even higher.

Qin Jingcen’s eyes sparkled with sharpness; he didn’t respond to He Mingjin, his gaze firmly fixed on Qin Ruan.

Sitting beside Third Master, Qin Ruan received her big brother’s eager gaze head-on.

Qin Jingcen’s eyes, always calm and gentle, somehow conveyed to Qin Ruan the word ’want.’

She thought she was seeing things and blinked.

Qin Jingcen followed by blinking as well, his eyes seemingly speaking, "Sister, big brother wants it."

Qin Ruan clearly got the message this time, her expression momentarily stunned.

Thinking she was having difficulty deciding, Qin Jingcen blinked again, "Is it too difficult?"

Qin Ruan blinked back, "Not difficult. Is that piece of Emperor Green really valuable?"

The elder Qin rapidly blinked, "Valuable! Extremely valuable!"

"Cough cough..."

Qin Mei, noticing the secret communication between his elder brother and little sister, let out a soft cough.

The gazes of Qin Jingcen and Qin Ruan immediately shifted to him.

Qin Mei blinked at them both, "Be careful, He Mingjin is watching."

The three siblings continued their eye-contact communication as if nothing was amiss, unaware of He Mingjin’s suspicious gaze and the pleasurable bend at the corners of Huo Yunjiao’s lips.

Somehow, the three siblings reached a consensus, their gazes all turning to He Mingjin simultaneously.

Feeling the stare of three identical fox-like gazes, He Mingjin felt a faint tremor in his heart, as though the foxes were about to strip everything away from him.

Contagiously, he blinked and asked uneasily, "What’s up?"

Qin Jingcen, smiling like a fox, said in a gentle voice, "Mr. He, the Qin Family is willing to buy that piece of Emperor Green jade from you for five billion."

"The Qin Group doesn’t have much liquid capital; shelling out five billion is already us going all out. If you consider selling, we hope you’ll consider us first. Bao Rui Gold Shop won’t let you down, we’ll definitely make it world-renowned."

"Wait a minute—" He Mingjin was somewhat dazed, "I don’t need the money. I bought it purely to please someone. At that time, I was pursuing the daughter of a certain jewelry shop owner in Hong Kong, but she saw me as a cash cow. The raw stone has been left collecting dust in a corner of my house."

"If the Qin Family wants it, just giving it to you is fine. Let’s not talk about money; it hurts the feelings. I’m still indebted to Madam Third Master for saving my life, so consider the Emperor Green jade as my repayment to her."

Qin Ruan immediately said, "Mr. He, you’re too kind. I can’t accept such a valuable repayment. If you want to sell, the Qin Family will buy the raw stone from you for fifty billion."

He Mingjin frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "What about the incident with the puppet energy?"

Under his anxious gaze, Qin Ruan smiled, "I’ve taken it on!"

Her smile, blooming with allure, nearly dazzled He Mingjin.

"That settles it then!" He wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and said to Qin Jingcen, "When I bought that piece of Emperor Green, I spent one hundred fifty million. If the Qin Family really feels uncomfortable, just giving me the principal is enough; fifty billion is too much."

He Mingjin looked at Qin Ruan with a smile in his eyes, self-deprecatingly, "Where else would you find someone asking Madam Third Master for help and making a profit from it? It doesn’t seem very sincere on my part."

Qin Jingcen firmly stated, "Fifty billion is not too much; it’s fair and reasonable. Mr. He, please don’t feel it’s too little."

He Mingjin looked troubled, "But I only spent a little over a billion when I bought it..."

"Don’t refuse, Mr. He. I’ve heard that many people have been trying to buy that piece of Emperor Green raw stone from you in the past two years, even offering close to a hundred billion. The Qin Family isn’t that wealthy, but we can’t let Mr. He end up with nothing."

Since Qin Jingcen had put it that way, He Mingjin didn’t delay any further.

He smiled, rose, and walked over, draping an arm around the elder Qin’s neck, "Qin is truly a businessman; I love dealing with someone like you."

"Mr. He, your generosity is rare. To meet someone like you today is an honor for me."

The two were about to engage in a session of business flattery.

After some mutual praise, He Mingjin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Jingcen, "This is my card. After this annoying matter is over, I’ll take you out for a drink. You’d better come."

"Mr. He, how can you say that? I guarantee I’ll be there at your call."

Qin Jingcen gracefully accepted the business card, his smile fox-like.

As the two chatted amicably, they continued to sing each other’s praises.

Qin Ruan and Qin Mei exchanged a look, their similar sly eyes revealing satisfaction.

Only Huo Yunjiao surveyed the Qin siblings without a word, her gaze resting on He Mingjin, who had been outfoxed.

To buy the Emperor Green raw stone valued at at least one hundred fifty billion for fifty billion, and if they crafted a finished product, its true value would reach two hundred billion.

He Mingjin was clearly at a loss with this deal.

With their tacit understanding, the Qin siblings made He Mingjin willingly hand over the Emperor Green jade, pocketing a small profit. Not only did the Qin Family make money, but they also developed a connection.

Wasn’t it worth saying, the three siblings had indeed played their cards right?

Qin Ruan tugged at Huo Yunjiao’s arm and whispered close to his ear, "Third Master, I’m going to check out that villa where Mr. He encountered the puppet energy tonight. I won’t be going home with you."

Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved upward, his perfect jawline tensed, and he asked in a gentle voice, "When will Ruanruan come home?"
