Lan Qingqing was somewhat surprised that Tong Le was able to bring Jin Zi Meng to work at the company. She wondered if it was because Jin Zi Meng's abilities were so outstanding that Tong Le couldn't resist, or if Tong Le was being considerate of Ke Wenjie’s past relationship and had given Jin Zi Meng a backdoor entry.
As Lan Qingqing stepped out of the company building and stood by the roadside, her mind was in a haze. She felt an overwhelming urge to terminate her pregnancy. Both she and Tong Le were pregnant, yet Tong Le was carrying the child of a true heir, while she felt like she was merely bearing a lump of useless flesh.
Frustrated, Lan Qingqing took out her phone and called Ke Wenjie.
When the call connected, Lan Qingqing took the initiative. "I just met with Tong Le and even asked her about that piece of land. Here’s my plan: I want to extract information about that land first, then use Mo Kai Liang's factory plans as a pretext to trick her into renting it to him."
Ke Wenjie sounded puzzled. "And then? What’s the point? That land is still under her name and is considered premarital property."
The more Ke Wenjie thought about it, the angrier he became. "Damn it! Tong Le’s parents pretended to be polite while they were alive, but they calculated everything down to the last detail! The company is premarital property, the house is premarital property! Even that piece of land that has been missing is also premarital property!"
Lan Qingqing scoffed. "Don’t you think Tong Le has become smarter? When I was chatting with her just now, I felt like her eyes had changed—like she could devour people!"
Ke Wenjie cursed under his breath. "She doesn’t just want to devour people! She wants to ruin me!"
Breathing heavily, Ke Wenjie urged, "Continue with your plan."
Lan Qingqing explained, "Even though it's under the guise of renting the land, I plan to manipulate the contract to get that land for us. Since I'm her best friend, I believe it won't be difficult for her to sign a blank contract."
Ke Wenjie suddenly had an idea. "A blank contract?"
"Yes," Lan Qingqing confirmed. "We’ll agree that if I manage to pull this off for you, you’ll share some benefits with me. I won’t do this for nothing."
Ke Wenjie replied coldly, "Are you negotiating terms with me now? You just said Tong Le has changed; now it seems like you have changed too."
Lan Qingqing didn’t intend to beat around the bush. "Times have changed; we both understand each other now. Otherwise, do you want to watch Tong Le give birth to Zong Zeyu's child and then rise above us while we’re left beneath her?"
Ke Wenjie fell silent.
"Oh right," Lan Qingqing added, "I just saw Jin Zi Meng working at Tongshan Real Estate. This should be your doing, right? It’s good; having an insider monitoring Tong Le will make things easier for us."
Meanwhile, at Tongshan Real Estate.
Tong Le sat at her desk, continuing with her work when she received a WeChat message from a private investigator. Ke Wenjie had rented an apartment in a very luxurious community with his parents; the rent there wasn’t cheap.
Tong Le replied: "Did you track which floor they’re on?"
The private investigator responded: "Yes, I'll send you the details shortly. Ke Wenjie has already signed a lease for that apartment with the real estate agent."
Tong Le: "Okay, thanks for your hard work."
After exiting the chat interface, Tong Le sat in thought for a while. She couldn’t figure out what Ke Wenjie was up to; all of his recent actions were filled with uncertainty.
Tong Le casually opened her WeChat Moments, curious to see what everyone had been posting. The first update that caught her eye was from a real estate agent sharing information about a property for sale.
Instantly intrigued, Tong Le recognized the agent as the same one who had handled the sale of her parents' house. The listing was for the very property they had sold not long ago, which had once been their home.
Confused, Tong Le recalled that about eight or nine months ago, she had come to an agreement with Ke Wenjie to sell the house where her parents had lived. At that time, Tongshan Real Estate was in dire need of cash flow, and to keep the business running smoothly, she had agreed to sell her parents' residence.
Her parents had been bedridden for some time by then. The house was originally purchased as a retirement home, but less than three months after moving in, they both fell seriously ill and were hospitalized. Since their admission, the house had remained vacant for nearly two years.
After selling the property, the funds were used to help with cash flow for Tongshan Real Estate. The new owners were an elderly couple who also intended to buy a home for their retirement.
Now, seeing the house listed again on the agent's social media, Tong Le noticed that it was being sold at a price significantly lower than what it had been sold for just seven or eight months prior—by three hundred thousand yuan.
Tong Le felt puzzled. She understood that properties often changed hands, but it seemed unusual for this house to be resold at such a steep discount so soon after its sale. She sensed there must be some underlying issue.
Determined to find out more, she opened a chat with the real estate agent and sent a message: "Hello, Xiao Wu. I’m the seller from before. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I wanted to ask why Mountain Water Villa is being sold again."
Soon after, Agent Wu replied with a sad emoji and explained, "I remember you, Miss Tong. Unfortunately, the elderly couple who bought the house from you fell ill last month and both passed away. Now the property is being drastically reduced in price, and I’m not sure if it will sell again."
