What Chen Man Ni didn’t know was that Qin Tuo had also spent the last three days completely holed up, focusing entirely on alchemy.

He had locked himself in his room and hadn’t stepped out even once for three straight days.

But his efforts over these three days had yielded remarkable results.

Qin Tuo opened his eyes and let out a long, heavy sigh of relief.

He looked at the large pile of Small Rejuvenation Pills before him, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled.

Over the past three days, he had refined a great number of Small Rejuvenation Pills, and now it was time to sell them.

’So many pills... I wonder how much money I can get for them?’

Qin Tuo wondered to himself.

Although he wasn’t sure how high a price Chen Wenxiong could negotiate for him, he had a feeling these pills would definitely fetch a sky-high price.

However, Qin Tuo had no intention of stopping his alchemy.

He had calculated that refining Qi Gathering Pills would cost an absolute fortune.

He figured he would have to refine many more Small Rejuvenation Pills like these to reach his goal.

...

In Ming City Center, a black Mercedes G-Wagon was parked in front of a bar.

Jiang Liang sat in the car, his feet propped up on the front seats, the very picture of a slacker.

With one arm around Xu Min, he was shouting curses into his phone.

”Zhao Peng, you useless piece of shit! I told you to grab someone, and it’s been three days with nothing to show for it! What the hell have you been doing?”

On the other end of the line, Zhao Peng sounded utterly wronged as he hastily explained:

”Young Master Jiang, I’ve been staking out the Chen Family Villa for three days straight! But Chen Man Ni hasn’t left the house once. I can’t just barge into her home and kidnap her, can I?”

He was still staked out near the Chen Family Villa, a look of utter helplessness on his face.

Jiang Liang, however, replied irritably:

”Listen to me, I don’t care about any of that. Just get it done. Otherwise, you’ll be sorry!”

Zhao Peng’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that if he failed, Jiang Liang would never let him off the hook.

After a moment’s thought, Zhao Peng said pensively:

”Young Master Jiang, what if we have Xu Min call Chen Man Ni and tell her something’s happened to Qin Tuo?”

”Oh? A good idea!”

Jiang Liang’s eyes lit up at once.

Zhao Peng chuckled deviously and continued:

”Chen Man Ni is sure to believe anything Xu Min says. She’ll walk right into the trap!”

And so, Jiang Liang turned to Xu Min without a second thought.

”Go help Zhao Peng. Get this done.”

Xu Min gave a smug smile and nodded.

”Don’t you worry, Young Master Jiang. I’ll handle the task you’ve given me perfectly.”

Xu Min soon arrived at Zhao Peng’s location.

Seeing Zhao Peng waiting there like an idiot, Xu Min’s face twisted into a mocking sneer.

”Zhao Peng, you waste of space. All you’re good for now is being someone’s errand boy, and you can’t even handle a simple task like this. You’re completely useless!”

Hearing Xu Min’s haughty words, Zhao Peng gritted his teeth in hatred.

He knew that since Xu Min had latched onto the more powerful Jiang Liang, she naturally looked down on him.

’You bitch. I’ll let you have your moment. We’ll see how I deal with you later!’

Zhao Peng thought to himself that he would tolerate Xu Min for now. As long as he could make Qin Tuo pay, he could endure anything.

Seeing that Zhao Peng didn’t dare to talk back, Xu Min felt incredibly smug.

She ordered casually,

”Give me Chen Man Ni’s number.”

Zhao Peng suppressed his rage and handed over the number.

Xu Min then dialed Chen Man Ni’s number.

Inside the villa, as soon as Chen Man Ni heard her phone ring, a joyful expression appeared on her face.

”Haha, you idiot. I was starting to think you’d never call me again!”

Thinking it was Qin Tuo calling, Chen Man Ni quickly answered the phone.

But when the call connected, it was Xu Min’s voice on the other end.

”Hello, is this Chen Man Ni?”

Chen Man Ni recognized the voice instantly and felt a wave of disgust so strong it made her want to vomit.

Chen Man Ni was about to hang up when Xu Min quickly said,

”Chen Man Ni, I want to talk to you about Qin Tuo. One hour from now, Number 78, Yanjiang Avenue. I’ll be waiting.”

Chen Man Ni was confused and couldn’t help but ask,

”About Qin Tuo? What is it that you can’t say over the phone?”

But Xu Min was incredibly arrogant, and she snorted,

”Heh! Chen Man Ni, come or don’t. It’s up to you. I’ve given you your chance. Don’t come crying to me when you regret missing it!”

With that, she hung up the phone decisively.

Meanwhile, Chen Man Ni was seething with anger.

’That bitch,’ she thought. ’Since when did she have the guts to speak to me like that?’

But on second thought, she was extremely curious.

’What exactly did Xu Min want to talk to me about?’

If it had been about anything else, Chen Man Ni wouldn’t have cared.

But since it was about Qin Tuo, her concern clouded her judgment. She was so worried that it never occurred to her to call and verify the claim first.

After some thought, Chen Man Ni finally got in her car and drove to the designated location.

She had just arrived at Number 78, Yanjiang Avenue, and was slowly pulling to a stop, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, she noticed Xu Min up ahead, walking towards her with a few other people, a sinister smile on her face.

Looking closer, Chen Man Ni recognized Zhao Peng, flanked by two bodyguards. They looked tough, and they were clearly up to no good.

”Oh no, it’s a trap...”

Coming from a major family, Chen Man Ni’s instincts were sharp. She knew instantly that she had walked into a trap.

Gritting her teeth, she immediately threw the car into reverse, intending to make a quick U-turn and get out of there.

However, just as she started to reverse, a van rammed into her from behind.

CRASH!

The force of the massive impact knocked Chen Man Ni unconscious.

Seeing Chen Man Ni unconscious, a look of smug triumph spread across Xu Min’s face.

The two bodyguards forced the car door open and hauled Chen Man Ni out.

A vicious, sinister glint appeared in Zhao Peng’s eyes as he looked at the unconscious Chen Man Ni.

Xu Min sneered and waved a hand dismissively.

”Zhao Peng, take Chen Man Ni to Young Master Jiang. Be quick about it, he’s waiting.”

Zhao Peng hated Xu Min’s bossy tone, but he knew he couldn’t mess up Jiang Liang’s plan, so he quickly took Chen Man Ni and left.

A smug thought crossed Xu Min’s mind...

’This time, that vile pair, Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni, are finally going to pay the price, aren’t they?’

Back at the Half Moon Bay Villa, Qin Tuo was still in the middle of alchemy when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen. It was Chen Wenxiong.
