Qin Yao did not stop her pace; as the closing bell of the auction rang, she quietly left the venue with Shen Siya. The surrounding noise and excitement did not affect her steps; instead, it felt like a fleeting moment, where she remained calm and in control.
Shen Siya followed closely behind, her eyes wide with excitement. "Sister Yao, you were absolutely stunning today! That Li Haowen must be furious!"
A slight smile curled at the corners of Qin Yao's mouth, her mood seemingly light. "Does he even have the right to be angry? He's just a prey I toyed with."
Shen Siya laughed out loud. "Was that teasing, or did you just dig a pit for him?"
Qin Yao chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow as she gently tapped on the bag in her arms. "Today was merely a warm-up; the real prey has only just begun."
Shen Siya paused for a moment. "Real prey? Are you not planning to end it here?"
"Of course not." Qin Yao's tone was calm and confident. "Everything so far is just an introduction. I am not here at this auction merely to acquire those jade pieces; I am here to draw out my true target."
Shen Siya was somewhat surprised. "You knew all along that so many people would be interested in these stones today?"
Qin Yao nodded. "Li Haowen is just a minor character; my focus has never been on him. The real opponent has yet to show themselves."
"What do you plan to do now?" Shen Siya asked, confused yet curious.
"Push things toward a more complicated situation." Qin Yao's gaze lightly swept over the street beside them as she spoke softly. "The upcoming scenario will become increasingly chaotic until I control everything."
She spoke as if everything were already predetermined. But Shen Siya knew that Qin Yao never acted without preparation; every step she mentioned was like a carefully laid strategy on a chessboard.
"Sister Yao, you truly are... ruthless." Shen Siya couldn't help but smile, feeling a mix of nervousness and admiration for Qin Yao's plan.
Qin Yao smiled indifferently and took out her phone, tapping the screen lightly. Her finger lingered on a name for a moment before she finally dialed.
"Hello, Father." The calm voice of Qin Zhaoguang came through the line as usual. "What’s going on?"
"The auction has concluded smoothly," Qin Yao said, pausing slightly, her tone laced with a hint of amusement. "However, it seems Li Haowen hasn't fully grasped my intentions."
"Li Haowen?" Qin Zhaoguang's voice turned colder. "He's just an insignificant person. Deal with him if you can; there's no need to waste time."
"I know that," Qin Yao replied nonchalantly as she walked toward the parking lot. "But I'm not merely looking to wrap up this auction; I have deeper plans in motion."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Qin Zhaoguang finally spoke again. "You are well aware that the internal dynamics of the family are becoming increasingly complex. You must accelerate your pace. Otherwise, outside forces will seize the opportunity first."
Qin Yao's expression shifted slightly, her grip on her phone tightening. "I understand, Father. I will handle it."
She hung up, already resolute in her decision. She did not intend for the the Qin Family to remain stagnant in its current state. She knew that both internal and external situations were subtly changing, and she was determined to take control.
Shen Siya observed Qin Yao's expression and suddenly felt an invisible pressure emanating from her. "Sister Yao, is it really that urgent regarding the family?"
Qin Yao furrowed her brows slightly, yet her smile remained intact. "Urgent, of course. But those who can truly control the situation are those who see the bigger picture. Right now, the circumstances present the best opportunity for me."
"Are you preparing for something?" Shen Siya quickly realized. "Are you about to initiate your real plans?"
Qin Yao chuckled softly, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "Yes, next, I want everyone to know that the true future of the the Qin Family lies in my hands."
"Sister Yao, you’re not planning to take direct action, are you?" Shen Siya asked, visibly anxious. "Such a direct approach—won't it be too intense?"
"Intense?" Qin Yao looked at her with a hint of mockery in her gaze. "This is just the beginning, Shen Siya. Once you see my next moves, you'll understand what true planning entails."
The car quietly drove into the the Qin Family estate under the night sky. From a distance, the imposing and solemn architecture of the the Qin Family loomed large, as if every brick and tile carried the weight of the family's past and future. Taking a deep breath, Qin Yao stepped confidently into the hall.
Inside the hall, the elders of the family were already seated, their expressions grave. Qin Zhaoguang sat at the head of the table, his face devoid of emotion as he looked over documents in his hands while the surrounding elders whispered among themselves or furrowed their brows, clearly engaged in discussions about important matters.
“Qin Yao, come, sit.” Qin Zhaoguang glanced at her and gestured to the seat beside him.
Qin Yao nodded subtly, walking to the chair and taking a seat. She understood that today’s situation was unlike any before. The power struggle within the family was at a delicate stage, and she had to stand out amidst it all.
“Qin Yao, what do you think about the recent auction events?” An elder, Qin Hong, suddenly spoke up, his tone laced with curiosity.
Qin Yao cast him a faint glance and smiled slightly. “It’s merely small-scale transactions; some people seem to be paying too much attention to them.”
Qin Hong’s gaze sharpened slightly, as if testing her limits. “You have quite a few resources at your disposal lately. Why haven’t I heard about these? Can you share your plans?”
Qin Yao didn’t rush to respond; she simply looked at him calmly. “Plans? I never rush to reveal my plans. Uncle Qin Hong, you should understand that every move in this game requires careful consideration of the circumstances.”
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Qin Hong’s expression shifted slightly, a complex light flashing in his eyes before he quickly regained his composure. “I must have been overthinking it.”
Qin Yao smiled gently and shifted the topic. “I just hope that in the days to come, everyone will realize that the future of the the Qin Family is no longer the private property of certain individuals.”
Her words, though soft, carried an undeniable weight, directly addressing the core of the the Qin Family ’s internal dynamics.
The expressions of the elders changed subtly, and a tense atmosphere filled the room. Qin Yao knew that every step she took from here on would determine whether she could truly seize control of the family’s future. The key to it all lay firmly in her hands.
She lifted her head, her eyes no longer reflecting youthful innocence but rather a profound determination. Power, family, and even the unseen forces behind it all—she had everything under control.
