After serving three years in prison, he swept across the land upon his release.

On the plane, Qin Wuchen closed his eyes to rest. A short while later, the plane's announcement came over the loudspeaker:

"Dear passengers, the plane is about to arrive at Pudong Airport in Yunhai City. The ground temperature is 3 degrees Celsius. Please take precautions to keep warm."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Qin Wuchen opened his eyes, and the city skyline gradually came into view outside the porthole.

Yunhai City, a city etched deep in his memory, has haunted him like a ghost for the past three years.

Before boarding the plane, he sent a message to his adoptive father, Gao Suli, informing him of his arrival, but he did not expect the other party to pick him up at the airport.

Qin Wuchen's purpose for this trip is very clear: to find his biological parents and to uncover the truth about why he possessed the "True Dragon Bone" but it was cruelly removed.

Qin Wuchen vaguely remembered that when he was three years old, he was drugged and fell into a coma. When he woke up, there was a scar on his back.

Qin Wuchen guessed that his dragon bones were dug up at that time, and Gao Suli must know relevant information about human traffickers.

The plane passed through the clouds and landed smoothly.

Qin Wuchen followed the crowd out of Exit 3 of the airport. A few minutes later, a man in black silently blocked his path, pointing to the familiar Maybach parked on the roadside.

"Young Master Qin, please come this way."

His gaze swept over the familiar license plate, and Qin Wuchen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he walked straight towards the car.

The car was warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the chill outside.

Zhou Nuolin forced a smile and looked at Qin Wuchen sitting in the back row.

"Son, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

"Let Mom see how you've fared these past three years... Oh dear, look at you, you're so dark and thin... You must have suffered a lot inside..."

Zhou Nuolin looked Qin Wuchen's face up with both hands, her voice deliberately drawn out, full of affected heartache.

Deep down, she felt only relief that she hadn't sent her own son to some godforsaken prison; otherwise, she would have been sleepless every night.

As she spoke, Zhou Nuolin squeezed out two tears and couldn't help but wipe them away.

Qin Wuchen's lips curled into a silent smile; he could tell that behind this feigned politeness lay some hidden secret.

Gao Suli, who was in the passenger seat, also turned his head and patted Qin Wuchen on the shoulder.

"Wuchen, we're so sorry you had to go through all this. It's good that you're back. Your parents will make it up to you later."

The feigned concern and cheap performance filled Qin Wuchen with a chilling disgust.

If it were three years ago, he might have been deceived by their fake smiles because he longed for family affection.

But now, he has completely lost faith in the Gao family.

"Save your breath, you two," Qin Wuchen said coldly, leaning back in his leather seat, crossing his legs, and glancing indifferently at the two of them. "I'm not in the mood to put on this show of fatherly love and filial piety. Just say what you have to say."

The cold words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the warmth inside the car, and the air inside seemed to freeze.

Gao Suli's stiff face twitched, his hand clenched into a fist, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he suppressed it when he thought of the purpose of his trip.

"Wuchen, what are you saying? Your parents are just worried about you!" Zhou Nuolin spoke first, her fingers moving faster as she twirled her prayer beads. "For the past three years, I've been chanting sutras and praying for you day and night..."

"Praying for blessings?"

Qin Wuchen couldn't help but sneer, his eyes fixed on Zhou Nuolin like sharp blades.

"You prayed for my safety but never came to see me even once? You prayed for my safety but left me to fend for myself in prison for three years? Mrs. Gao, if you were truly alright, would you be here waiting for me?"

"You!" Zhou Nuolin was so choked that her face turned pale, and the Buddhist beads in her hand almost rolled away.

Gao Suli, sitting in the passenger seat, was even more furious upon hearing this, but he still suppressed his anger and put on a pleasing expression.

"Wuchen, how could you say that about your mother? We've come to pick you up; it's such a joyous occasion!"

"Good news?" Qin Wuchen sneered, leaning back in his chair and placing his hands on his knees. "In that case, tell me."

Qin Wuchen's nonchalant attitude greatly displeased the Gao couple. Both of them had been pampered since childhood, and even in the business world, no one had ever dared to speak to them in such a tone.

But when they thought of the 50 million dowry and the rare piece of land in the city center, the two of them managed to suppress their anger.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Suli tried his best to make his voice sound extremely seductive:

"You know the Jiang family of Yunhai City, right? A top-tier wealthy family! Their eldest daughter, Jiang Hanzhang, was once the most beautiful woman in the capital! Old Master Jiang has spoken out, wanting you to marry into the Jiang family!"

"Amitabha... Wuchen! This is a blessing that so many people would beg for! From now on, you will be the Jiang family's son-in-law!" Zhou Nuolin chimed in, her tone carrying a hint of condescension.

Qin Wuchen listened quietly, his face remaining expressionless.

A convict marries the most beautiful woman in Yunhai City?

Even a fool could tell that this was impossible. Besides, if such a good thing really existed, Gao Suli would definitely let his own son go first, so how could it be his turn?

Although there was definitely something fishy going on, Qin Wuchen didn't care. He had a sudden inspiration and decided to use this matter to blackmail the two of them.

"Alright, I agree." Qin Wuchen stroked his chin, saying nonchalantly, "But I have two conditions that you must agree to."

Upon hearing this, the Gao couple exchanged a glance, seemingly surprised that Qin Wuchen would agree so quickly.

The two had initially thought that Qin Wuchen would have changed after spending three years in prison, but now it seemed that he was just putting on an act and was still a coward at heart.

Gao Suli and Zhou Nuolin's faces instantly lit up with ecstasy.

"Okay, okay, Mom will listen to you. We'll agree to any of your requests, not just two, but a hundred."

"Yes! Name your conditions, and your mother and I will definitely agree!" Gao Suli's lips curled up, his face beaming with joy. In his mind, he had already conjured up images of a dowry of fifty million and a prime piece of land.

"First," Qin Wuchen held up one finger, "I need to know who my biological parents are."

"Second," Qin Wuchen raised a second finger, his gaze suddenly sharpening, "who drugged me when I was three? Who was the human trafficker who kidnapped me? I need to know everything about that 'case'!"

Upon hearing this, the Gao couple stared at each other blankly for a moment.

That's it?

The exorbitant demands they had anticipated did not materialize, and their initial regret instantly turned into deeper contempt.

I never imagined that my request would be so simple; a coward will always be a coward.

"No problem!" Gao Suli immediately agreed, fearing he might change his mind, but he also kept a backup plan: "As long as you and Jiang Hanzhang get married smoothly, I'll tell you everything I know right away!"

"it is good."

Qin Wuchen nodded readily and then comfortably lay down in the Maybach chair.

However, Gao Suli did not signal to drive. Instead, he frowned and stared at him, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Wuchen raised an eyebrow.

Catching the disdain in the other person's eyes—that a "convict had defiled a luxury car"—Qin Wuchen sneered inwardly. Too lazy to argue, he got out of the car and hailed a taxi.

"Go to the Jiang family."

The taxi merged into the traffic, leaving the Maybach and those two hypocritical faces far behind.
