After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 262 - 257: Past Life: How Tragic Was My Ending?

"What else are you planning to do next?" Ji Tian chased after him with questions.

Qin Jiangsheng took out his keys and opened the door to his apartment. Ji Tian squeezed in like an eel.

He gave her a cold glance, but the woman was shameless. No matter what he said, she wouldn’t leave; she insisted on collaborating with him.

There was another very important reason—he’d discovered that she was very good at fighting.

She couldn’t be driven away, nor could she be scolded away.

He could only hit where it hurt, so with a cold snort, he said, "Do you still have the mood to stay in Central Continent? I heard that the Ji Family is facing bankruptcy. Your big brother is already being forced to liquidate the assets, right?"

Ji Tian nodded cheerfully, her smile still bright, showing no sign of sadness: "How do you know? I thought you were in Central Continent and didn’t care about the affairs of Capital City. This is the fate of the Ji Family, all done by that bastard Bai Tingyu. How about you come back with me and save me?"

"Not interested; I don’t have the time."

He would go to Capital City, but not now.

Right now, he had something more important waiting for him: obtaining the inheritance rights of the Qin Family.

Without power, how could he fight these people?

The time was almost right; Mo Jiu would help him.

Ji Tian hadn’t slept well these past few days, nightmares of a known but unchangeable ending constantly surrounding her. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

It was three months ago, after her second brother got into a car accident and broke both legs, that she had dreamed of Qin Jiangsheng.

Turns out, this man was also an alumnus of hers, but he was so inconspicuous that she hadn’t noticed him at all.

He was said to have been kidnapped and gone missing at the age of seventeen. After her thorough investigation, she found that this man had been lurking in Central Continent for nearly four years, and his target was the Qin Family.

The Qin Family was now a highly coveted prize. The Old Master Qin was about to die, and the succession had become an issue. Jiangsheng’s mother was maneuvering in the midst of it all, but that could hardly stand against other branches of the Qin Family wanting a piece of the pie.

This was the long-term problem created by Old Master Qin not having designated an heir. Perhaps among his descendants, including his own daughter, none were the successor he truly desired.

To save the Ji Family, she had run from Capital City to the unfamiliar Central Continent. Luckily, her fortune was good, and she found him upon her arrival.

Ji Tian pouted, "You’re not still hoping Mo Jiu will help you, are you?"

At her words, she could feel the murderous intent in Qin Jiangsheng’s eyes. She leaned on the sofa, looking up at him: "Hey, don’t be naïve. He’s not a good man who will help you get the Qin Family’s power. Do you know who he is? He is your elusive uncle from the legends! Believe it or not, if you follow his plan, you’ll be the one to die that very day."

If he had been doubting before, now he was truly shocked inside, but he always kept his emotions off his face. Instead, his gaze grew colder; he pulled out a gun from his person and pressed it against her head: "Who exactly are you?"

Ji Tian blinked, the cold barrel against her forehead. She gently pushed it away, "Don’t play with the gun; it might go off by accident. I told you before, this is the world within a book. I can foresee your fates. Did Mo Jiu tell you to act out a scene? The Qin Family Patriarch, your grandfather, is seriously ill, lacking blood, but his blood type is special. Qin Wantang alone cannot sustain the amount of blood he needs transfused every day. So, an accident is created, you get injured, and in the hospital, it’s discovered that your blood type matches, thus allowing Old Master Qin to meet you. You are the spitting image of your mother, and he will surely request a DNA test quickly."

"To confirm you are of the Qin Family bloodline and, as he lies dying, to leave the inheritance rights of the Qin Family to you. Then you can take your revenge against Qin Wantang."

"Bang!"

Ji Tian jumped at the sound of the gun firing. The glass coffee table in front of her shattered.

She looked at Qin Jiangsheng’s shifting expressions, wiped off sweat, and muttered softly, "Bad kid, I told you not to play with the gun, and you didn’t listen..."

Qin Jiangsheng’s eyes darkened because what Ji Tian said was exactly the plan Mo Jiu had arranged!

But that plan was only known to him and Mo Jiu.

Of course, what shocked him most was... Mo Jiu was his uncle?

And they were blood-related?

It had been seven years. Why had he never mentioned this before...

He slowly lowered the gun, he had already started to believe Ji Tian’s words.

The woman in front of him might be telling the whole truth.

He wiped the gun muzzle and sat down opposite her, "And then? How tragic is my ending?"

Ji Tian grinned, "If you don’t listen to me and stubbornly go along with his plan, you will break an arm, and he will use this opportunity to regain his identity and become the next heir of the Qin Family."

"Between a biological son and a grandson, what do you think Old Master Qin would choose?"

"In the end, you’ll still have to return to Capital City, seize control from Bai Tingyu, and thereby form a force capable of contending with Mo Jiu. But by then, three more years will have passed, I might be dead! You would continue to follow the script in the book, and even if you defeat Mo Jiu, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. You would be attacked anew by Bai Tingyu, your corpse abandoned in the wilderness with no one to collect it. It’s a very tragic end."

Seeing Qin Jiangsheng’s expression soften, Ji Tian knew he was halfway convinced, so she pressed on, "Instead of going through all this trouble, why don’t we just nip these two disasters in the bud right from the start, what do you say?"

Qin Jiangsheng’s eyelashes drooped, "Why should I believe you."

Ji Tian, "..."

WTF...

This kid is really a tough nut to crack!

"Then we just wait for that day, and you’ll see if you lose half your life or not."

Some people won’t shed tears until they see the coffin. When they do learn the truth, they’ll realize that the person they trusted the most has been deceiving them all along.

Five days passed in a row.

With no place to go, Ji Tian had taken to staying in Qin Jiangsheng’s apartment. But there was only one room, so for five days Ji Tian slept on the sofa and woke up with a sore back.

Qin Jiangsheng came and went from early morning until late at night, and each time he returned, he carried the scent of blood.

Occasionally, she would see him wrapping his arms with gauze, his skin full of wounds, piling new injuries on top of old ones.

Ji Tian ate snacks, clicking her tongue and sighing, looking at Qin Jiangsheng as if he was an idiot.

He stood up, his gaze very cold, "Let’s go, and see if what you said is true."

Ji Tian smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, in the end, you will be the one to regret it."

The two arrived at the hospital, where Old Master Qin had suffered another sudden heart attack and urgently needed treatment.

Qin Wantang couldn’t even walk now because of excessive blood draw.

Ji Tian hid in the shadows, looking towards Qin Jiangsheng’s direction. Soon, someone would cause chaos in the hospital.

All Qin Jiangsheng needed to do was protect Old Master Qin at the critical moment and receive a scratch on the arm.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunfire broke out in the hospital corridor, and screams from the crowd rose and fell, Ji Tian counted the seconds while sucking on a lollipop.

"There are enemies! Quick, protect the Patriarch!"

"Boom!"

Qin Jiangsheng took the chance to get next to Old Master Qin’s stretcher, and a bullet swiftly lodged in his arm.

Pain inflamed his eyes, and through the distant crowd, he saw Mo Jiu smiling at him, mouthing the words, "Never again."

So everything Ji Tian had said was true.

He really was just a pawn used by Mo Jiu.
