The subordinates who had initially doubted Qin Feng to the core now had not a shred of skepticism left. Their doubts were completely replaced by exhilaration and wild euphoria!
It even made the blood in their veins and every single pore of their bodies surge with boiling heat!
On the other side!
"This Qin Feng is terrifying! I must subdue him in a single move, without giving him the slightest chance to counterattack!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Li Mulan drew the two War Department sidearms from her waist and aimed right at Qin Feng!
Her marksmanship was absolute precision. She held the title of the War Department's premier sharpshooter, and the special rounds in her gun were custom-manufactured by the War Department specifically to pierce the formidable Qi of elite martial artists!
At a distance of seven paces, her draw was fast, accurate, and lethal!
"Ignorant."
Qin Feng didn't even deign to look her straight in the eye. Suddenly, a terrifying, eerie surge of Qi erupted from thin air, instantly shattering the War Department sidearms in Li Mulan's grip into countless fragments!
Boom!
The violently explosive wave of Qi mercilessly blasted Li Mulan backward. A burning pain shot through both her hands, and her military uniform burst apart along the seams!
A swathe of porcelain-white skin was instantly exposed to everyone present!
Half of her towering breasts were laid bare as well!
"You two pieces of trash actually dared to provoke me."
Qin Feng offered a contemptuous smile and turned to leave!
"If my master hadn't told me I have some history with the War Department and instructed me to leave myself some leeway when dealing with them, the two of you would already be corpses."
"Tell your God of War Hua Shengnan that if she wants to call off the engagement, she can come herself. And from now on, stop being a thorn in my side!"
With that, Qin Feng climbed into Hong Qingtian's Rolls-Royce!
Yet his words struck Zhao Yuan and Li Mulan like heavy sledgehammers, pounding mercilessly against their minds!
How utterly humiliating!
Up ahead, two security guards had witnessed the entire process with their own eyes and were too terrified to utter a sound!
A heavenly deity!
Qin Feng was nothing less than a living god!
With his return, Guangyun city was undoubtedly going to be turned upside down!
As for Hong Qingtian and his subordinates, they were itching to drop to their knees and kowtow to Qin Feng right then and there!
"Mr. Qin didn't lift a single finger, yet two War Department adjutants who have both attained the Sixth Stage of Earth Realm were sent sprawling!"
"If he were to actually get serious, the heavens themselves would probably be overturned!"
"Mr. Qin's strength is unparalleled under heaven—it is truly the old man's greatest fortune!"
"This time I made the right choice. The future of the Hong Family is bound to be bright!"
Hong Qingtian was thrilled beyond measure.
Qin Feng's gaze landed on him. "You're a smart man with a resolute mind. I have an important task for you."
Hong Qingtian immediately bowed and replied, "This subordinate will give it everything I have and await Mr. Qin's every command!"
The opportunity was right before his eyes!
Lowering his voice, Qin Feng instructed Hong Qingtian to secretly investigate the fire from years ago and unearth every single clue concerning his mother.
"Understood! This subordinate will execute this immediately!"
Hong Qingtian nodded hastily, exchanged contact information with Qin Feng, and sped away!
"Regardless of whether my mother is still alive, I will thoroughly investigate this to the end."
Qin Feng's gaze grew even firmer and more profound.
Given Hong Qingtian's background and resources, news was bound to arrive by tomorrow!
After paying his respects at his mother's grave, Qin Feng did not return home just yet; instead, he headed to his private villa to retrieve a photograph of himself and his mother.
Back when he was still an idle playboy, this place had been his playground of drunken dreams and hazy stus, a place where he indulged in earthly pleasures every day, laughing and cursing without a care.
Returning here three years later, he found the place just as luxurious as before, yet wrapped in absolute stillness—a sight that could not help but evoke a sigh.
He had just unlocked the front door when an eerie, haunting fragrance drifted straight into his nostrils!
A pair of exquisite high heels sat on the floor, alongside a high-end pair of sexy stockings and an astonishingly oversized bra!
"Why is there a woman in my room...?"
Qin Feng could not help a jolt of surprise!
He saw that the glass door to the bathroom was ajar, and an outstanding beauty with skin fairer than snow was lying inside the bathtub!
Her delicate body possessed curvaceous, exquisite contours, and those two plump, snowy globes were especially eye-catching!
Her pretty face wore an expression of sheer intoxication and enjoyment!
Suddenly, the woman could not help trembling slightly all over, letting out a series of uninhibited, low moans from her lips!
"Ah... This is so heavenly..."
Her voice carried an air of thoroughly released gratification, mixed with seductive intoxication and the bliss beaming across her charming face—an expression utterly guaranteed to drive the men of this world wild with madness!
The air in the bathroom was saturated with the scent of body wash and a woman's intoxicating perfume!
"This...!"
Even Qin Feng could not resist drawing in a deep breath of the fragrant air!
This woman was simply too soul-stirring!
He hadn't expected to witness such a seductive scene the moment he came down the mountain!
However... who on earth was this breathtaking beauty?
Why did she end up in my room?
I hope the photo of my mother and me hasn't been taken!
With that thought, Qin Feng could not help calling out, "Beauty, are you done washing up?"
Inside the bathroom, the stunning beauty had just been immersed in ultimate bliss the second before, when the sound of a voice suddenly startled her so badly that all the color drained from her face!
"Ah!!"
Panicking, she threw on a bathrobe and rushed out. But her figure was so richly endowed that her plump breasts were practically bursting out of the garment!
The smooth, porcelain-white legs revealed beneath the robe were fully visible as well!
Moreover, she was still radiating a cloud of warm steam, and the flush of pink on her delicate face made her look all the more stunning!
This vision of a beauty emerging from a bath made Qin Feng swallow hard once more!
Exquisite, incomparably alluring!
The moment the beauty saw Qin Feng, she was startled out of her wits. "Why is it you?"
Calming his restless impulses, Qin Feng smiled and asked, "Beauty, do you know who I am?"
The stunning beauty was about to speak when she suddenly remembered that, assuming the room was empty, she had given vent to her sounds of pleasure without restraint and even flaunted her sultry allure without holding back!
And the bathroom door had been left slightly ajar...
Oh no!
He must have heard every single thing clearly just now... and guessed what she was doing in there...
Good heavens!
The beauty's mind was in utter chaos, and her bright, alluring face instantly dyed a brilliant shade of crimson!
"Apologies, I've overstepped!"
Having no time to explain, she scooped up the clothes, stockings, and high heels scattered on the floor and bolted for the door in a panic. But as she ran, the lace bra and an ID badge slipped from her hands and dropped to the floor!
"Beauty, you dropped something!"
With a smile, Qin Feng reached down to pick up the oversized bra and hand it back to her!

### Chapter 4: She is the Sister-in-law
"Thank you!"
The beauty instinctively reached out a slender hand to take it, but the moment she realized Qin Feng was handing her intimate bra back to her, her face flushed crimson!
"Ah, why are you holding my..."
Crying out in shyness and mortification, the beauty lost the courage to take back her undergarment. Instead, she panicked, jumped into her car, and sped away!
"Hahaha, interesting!"
Seeing her reaction, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing at her bashfulness!
Besides, he noticed that the size of the underwear in his hand was not small—at least a D-cup, possibly even an E-cup. It still radiated a faint, refreshing fragrance that cleared the mind and set off a cascade of wild imaginations.
"Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she's exceptionally well-endowed as well..."
Qin Feng hooked the corner of his lips into a smile, then glanced down at the ID badge the beauty had left behind. It read: Li Chunfei, Head of Public Relations, Qin Group.
The Qin Group was precisely the core enterprise of Qin Feng's family.
"She must be the manager of this villa... If I get the chance to see her again, I'll definitely have to return her underwear."
With a faint smile, Qin Feng stowed away the fragrant bra and retrieved the photograph with his mother.
When he went into the bathroom to wash up and change, his nostrils were still filled with the lingering, haunting scent of Li Chunfei's perfume, instantly lifting his spirits.
He had to admit, Li Chunfei was truly breathtakingly beautiful! If he could have a deeper exchange with her, it would undoubtedly be boundless bliss!
Afterward, Qin Feng strode back toward the Qin Family estate, calling out, "Dear family, the young master has returned!"
"Is that Young Master Qin's voice?"
"That fiend actually came back?!"
The family servants and security guards were utterly startled, some even struck with panic!
Second Uncle Qin Shiya's family felt their faces twitch involuntarily!
Then, an unmaskable glint of hatred flashed deep within their eyes!
The old master was already in his seventies and was on the verge of stepping down from the seat of power. All the major executive and financial authority of the entire family was about to be handed over to the younger generation!
For Qin Feng to show up out of nowhere—wasn't it blatantly obvious that he had returned to fight for the assets?!
Meanwhile, Grandfather Qin Jianzhong and his father Qin Shoguo were brimming with wild joy: "That little rascal, he finally knows to come back!"
By now, Qin Feng had already swaggered into the main hall!
With his sharply honed senses—eyes, ears, body, and mind—he precisely captured the reaction of every single person present in a single fraction of a second!
"It seems Second Uncle's family isn't too thrilled about my return."
"If I find out you had a hand in harming my mother, I'll have your entire family buried with her! I'll grind your bones to dust!"
Though his mind was as clear as a mirror, he didn't let a single trace of it show on his face.
Suddenly, he noticed a great beauty standing opposite him—none other than Li Chunfei, the very woman who had been indulging herself in his private villa!
And to his complete surprise!
She wasn't just an employee of the Qin Group; she was the wife of Qin Feng's eldest cousin, Qin Yinglong!
"So... I have to call her Sister-in-law?"
Qin Feng couldn't help drawing a sharp breath!
Does that mean I accidentally just appreciated my eldest cousin's wife in all her naked glory?
"This...!"
Seeing Qin Feng's gaze locked onto her, Li Chunfei felt a wave of embarrassment and bashfulness surge through her clear eyes!
"Oh god..."
Li Chunfei was drowning in awkwardness at that moment!
Her husband, Qin Yinglong, had once mentioned to her that Qin Feng was a notorious public menace who acted completely without boundaries!
She was terrified that Qin Feng might blurt out what had happened in the private villa earlier!
Wouldn't her reputation be completely ruined then?
To her relief, Qin Feng tactfully pretended as though he had never laid eyes on Li Chunfei before, striding excitedly toward his grandfather and his father Qin Shoguo. "I've missed you all so much!"
The stone in Li Chunfei's chest finally dropped back into place.
Her favorable impression of Qin Feng skyrocketed instantly!
"You brat, where on earth have you been hiding all these years!"
His father, Qin Shoguo, wore an expression of intense fury as he marched over and grabbed Qin Feng firmly by the ear!
"Ouch, my heartless old man is trying to murder his own flesh and blood!"
Qin Feng immediately began to wail!
Yet Qin Shoguo's eyes were reddening: "If I didn't give you a bit of pain, how would I know if you're real or fake?! Three whole years—do you have any idea how your father survived this time!"
Stricken with sudden guilt, Qin Feng forced a ingratiating smile. "Dad, aren't I standing right here in the flesh? Three years have passed—has your frequent nocturnal urination improved at all?"
Pfft!
Hearing that, everyone present burst into muffled fits of laughter!
Qin Shoguo's face flushed bright red with mortification. "You little punk, spouting nonsense again! Don't you all believe a word of his ghost stories!"
He raised his hand as if to discipline Qin Feng!
Unexpectedly, Grandfather shoved Qin Shoguo aside, barking, "Have you lost your mind? How dare you lay a hand on my precious grandson?!"
Since Qin Feng had mastered the art of flattery since childhood, the old man doted on him above all others, valuing him even more than his own life!
Speechless, Qin Shoguo muttered, "Dad, your blind pampering is only going to ruin him! If his mother were still alive, she'd beat him black and blue!"
At that moment, Second Uncle Qin Shiya's family also stepped forward, forcing awkward smiles to their faces. "Qin Feng, we've finally prayed for your return. We've missed you so much!"
"Heh..."
Qin Feng sneered inwardly!
Back when I still lived at home, you couldn't wait for me to vanish from the face of the earth so I wouldn't compete with you for the family fortune!
You missed me? Who are you trying to fool?
If I find out you lot murdered my mother, you can wait to be carved to pieces by a thousand cuts!
Li Chunfei, standing near the back of the crowd, still didn't dare raise her head to meet Qin Feng's gaze.
Grandfather beamed with concern, asking, "Where on earth did you run off to all these years? Why didn't you ever think to contact your grandfather?"
Naturally, Qin Feng wasn't about to confess the truth about his immortal cultivation, so he chuckled honestly, "Let's not get into it. I stirred up massive trouble abroad and got locked away for some re-education."
The crowd stared in blank astonishment!
No wonder the Qin Family had searched everywhere for years with no results—it turned out this fellow had broken the law and been locked up!
Qin Shiya's family felt a deep sense of regret: why hadn't this playboy simply died abroad?!
As everyone harbored their own thoughts, Grandfather shed tears of profound emotion!
"Three years ago, I had a master cast a fortune telling. He said our Qin Family was destined for a calamity; if we couldn't withstand the test, we would inevitably decline day by day, but if we successfully crossed this hurdle, we would rise to even greater heights! Not long after that, Qin Feng suddenly lost contact!"
"I finally understand now—Qin Feng took it upon himself to eliminate disaster and ward off misfortune for our entire family, which is why he suffered imprisonment. He crossed this tribulation on behalf of the Qin Group, which is why we were able to successfully go public and grow larger and larger!"
With that, Grandfather tightly gripped Qin Feng's hand in agitation. "My precious grandson, you've suffered these past three years! Once I retire, I'll hand ninety percent of the family assets right over to you!"
"What?" Second Uncle Qin Shiya's family stared in utter bewilderment!
Let Qin Feng take over ninety percent of the group's assets?!
Then what would be left for them?! Were they supposed to live on northwest wind?!
Qin Feng was caught off guard as well!
"Grandfather, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? If others are unhappy about it, it could cause trouble..."
His words sounded polite enough, but the corners of his mouth turned up in a grin so wide not even a rocket launcher could press it down!
"Let's see who dares to oppose my decision!"
Grandfather's face radiated supreme authority as he swept his gaze across the room!
"Of course not!"
Qin Shiya's family weren't fools; they quickly plastered fake smiles on their faces. "The Qin Group is an empire built by Grandfather over a lifetime, and we firmly support your decision!"
They spoke as though they had no desire to contend for it, but inside, they were already cursing Qin Feng to high heaven!
"Sigh, I suppose I have no choice but to accept it!"
Qin Feng smiled triumphantly, then affectionately grabbed Grandfather's hand again. "However, Grandfather, your blade is still sharp. You need to keep fighting for another fifty years before you truly retire, so there's no rush for me to take over!"
The old man burst into hearty laughter, pulling Qin Feng along as he instructed the housekeeper to prepare a banquet!
During dinner, Li Chunfei's seat happened to be arranged directly opposite Qin Feng's.
"..."
In Qin Feng's mind, the alluring, seductive posture of Li Chunfei in the villa's bathroom resurfaced, and he couldn't help stealing a glance at her.
"..."
Noticing Qin Feng's gaze, Li Chunfei felt a flicker of acute embarrassment cross her face.
She didn't dare meet his eyes at all, silently eating her meal while her cheeks burned a faint red.
Unfortunately, she was too nervous; under the table, her slender leg stretched out a bit too far and accidentally kicked Qin Feng's foot!
The moment they touched, both of them gave an involuntary shudder!
***
### Chapter 5: A Woman of Contrasts
"Sister-in-law touched me with her foot?"
Qin Feng was secretly startled, hurriedly glancing down under the table. He saw that Li Chunfei's stockinged feet were exceptionally fair, slender, and infinitely alluring!
"Ah..."
Realizing she had accidentally kicked Qin Feng, Li Chunfei felt too humiliated for words: "He wouldn't think I did that on purpose, would he?!"
While she was caught in that frantic thought, Qin Feng's foot actually reached out on purpose!
Their feet brushed against each other once more, and Li Chunfei felt her body jolt as if struck by lightning!
She noticed that Qin Feng's calves were remarkably solid and well-toned!
Long-term suppression and emotional deprivation instantly sent Li Chunfei's imagination running wild!
"If Qin Feng's calves are already this firm, his thigh muscles and that place must be even more powerful, right?"
With that thought, a gentle warmth—along with an unspeakable sense of anticipation—surfaced in her eyes!
It made her momentarily reluctant to pull her leg back!
Yet Qin Feng took the initiative to withdraw his foot, leaving Li Chunfei with a strange sense of loss.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, couldn't help a quiet chuckle.
Who could have guessed that a woman who appeared so cold and stunning on the surface would turn out to be so sultry in private, acting so uninhibited while taking a bath?
It seemed her heart must be quite starved for affection.
If the opportunity presented itself, he would definitely have to return that oversized bra of hers.
However, Qin Feng's primary focus wasn't on these matters, nor was he concerned with the family assets. What he cared about most was the devastating fire that had caused his mother to disappear!
Qin Feng believed that with Hong Qingtian personally heading the investigation, clues would surface in no time.
After dinner, Li Chunfei hurried back to her room.
Meanwhile, Second Uncle Qin Shiya and his three sons gathered in the annex to discuss crucial business.
Ever since Qin Feng mysteriously vanished, control of the Qin Group was naturally destined to fall into the hands of Qin Shiya's family!
Yet now that Qin Feng had suddenly returned, the situation had instantly changed!Qin Shiya had three sons, named with the generational character "Ying" (Heroic), taking the names Qin Yinglong (Li Chunfei's husband), Qin Yinghu, and Qin Yingxiong!
"Has Grandfather lost his mind?!"
Third son Qin Yingxiong exploded with rage: "If that bastard Qin Feng pushes me too far, I'll have some boys from the streets send him straight to hell!"
As the youngest of the household, he possessed a fiery temper and would resort to any means necessary to achieve his goals—ruthless and vicious to the core.
"Third brother, don't act rashly."
The second son, Qin Yinghu, leaned back against the sofa, exhaling a plume of smoke with a profound look in his eyes: "If the old man just announced he's giving the majority of the assets to Qin Feng, only for Qin Feng to meet with an accident right after, do you think the old man wouldn't be suspicious?"
"This..."
Qin Yingxiong was left speechless, finally realizing how reckless he had been!
Their father, Qin Shiya, swallowed a mouthful of liquor and muttered in a muffled voice, "Third son, don't ruin things with impulsiveness. Listen to your second brother's opinion."
Second son Qin Yinghu had been exceptionally bright since childhood—resourceful, cold-blooded, merciless, and deeply calculating.
Thus, Qin Shiya had always trusted him implicitly!
With his gaze growing steadily colder, Qin Yinghu spoke at a measured pace: "If we want the old man to rescind his decision to gift those assets, we need to make Qin Feng commit acts so utterly repulsive that everyone loathes him! Only by doing that can we completely pull the rug out from under him!"
"I've thought of a method, but I'm not sure if I should voice it."
Hearing this, the eldest brother, Qin Yinglong, sitting across from him, furrowed his brows and said coldly, "Second brother, the situation is critical, yet you're still hesitating and beating around the bush. How can you ever achieve anything major?!"
Although Qin Yinglong and Qin Yinghu maintained a facade of harmony on the surface, the two of them had long been engaged in a covert struggle for supreme authority over the Qin Group, each refusing to acknowledge the other's superiority!
