Chapter 238 What... happened to us again?
Old Master Qin narrowed his eyes, his fingers gently stroking the surface of the jade pendant: "You mean..."
“That’s right.” Qin Yu’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. “Ji Momo told me that Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong have been behaving very strangely lately, as if… they’ve switched identities.”
"Absurd!" Old Master Qin slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, but his eyes flickered uncertainly. He recalled that a few days ago, Qin Reng was indeed a completely different person, much more tactful in his dealings, while Yu Yuetong had become decisive and efficient.
"Grandpa, do you remember what that fortune teller said back then?" Qin Yu said unhurriedly, "This jade pendant can allow two destined people to exchange souls on the night of the full moon. And last month's full moon..."
Old Master Qin's hand trembled slightly. That night, he had indeed left the jade pendant in Qin Reng's study.
"If that's really the case..." Old Master Qin's gaze sharpened, "then Qin Reng's current behavior, wouldn't it be..."
"It's all an act." Qin Yu sneered. "Grandpa, you've always worried about Qin Reng's lack of ability. Now it seems he can't even protect his own body, so how can he talk about inheriting the family business?"
After a long silence, Old Master Qin suddenly asked, "What are your plans?"
"At tomorrow's board meeting, I will show everyone what kind of person Qin Reng really is." Qin Yu stood up, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "As for this secret... perhaps we should keep it for them for now."
"You need to be careful," Old Master Qin sighed. "If what you say is true, then this matter is probably not so simple."
"Don't worry, Grandpa." Before turning to leave, Qin Yu glanced back at the jade pendant on the table. "Some people are destined to pay the price for their greed."
The study door closed gently, and Old Master Qin gazed thoughtfully at the moonlight outside the window. He picked up the jade pendant on the table and examined it closely under the lamplight, noticing a strange light faintly appearing on its surface.
Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Qin Group.
Yu Yuetong was organizing documents for tomorrow's board meeting when she suddenly felt dizzy. She steadied herself by holding onto the table, but then noticed a faint, shimmering light pattern appearing on her arm.
“This is…” Her pupils suddenly contracted.
Just then, the office door opened, and Qin Reng walked in. His expression was equally grim: "You sensed it too?"
Yu Yuetong nodded: "It seems that things are much more complicated than we imagined."
"Tomorrow's board meeting..." Qin Reng frowned, "I have a feeling something's going to happen."
"No matter what happens, we have to hold on." Yu Yuetong took a deep breath. "But before that, we need to figure out one thing."
"what?"
"This," Yu Yuetong rolled up her sleeves, revealing the faint, shimmering pattern on her arm, "why did it have to appear today of all days?"
Qin Reng's pupils contracted slightly: "This pattern..."
“It’s exactly the same as the one on the jade pendant.” Qin Reng walked quickly to Yu Yuetong’s side and gently touched the light pattern.
In an instant, a jolt of electricity spread from where they had touched. Yu Yuetong instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Qin Reng held it tightly.
"Don't move." Qin Reng's voice was a little hoarse. "Look."
The light pattern was slowly spreading, like flowing water, gradually reaching Qin Reng's arm. The light patterns of the two intertwined, emitting a faint silver glow.
"What on earth is going on?" Yu Yuetong felt a pang of anxiety. "Why are we suddenly reacting like this?"
Qin Reng frowned: "It's probably related to that jade pendant. If I remember correctly, the night we swapped bodies last time, I had the same feeling."
"You mean..." Yu Yuetong's voice suddenly stopped because she felt a strong wave of dizziness.
Qin Reng also sensed something was wrong. He tried to let go, but found that the two of them seemed to be stuck together by some invisible force. The light in the room began to distort, and a strange energy filled the air.
"No, we have to think of something..." Before Qin Reng could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Ji Momo's voice came through: "President Qin, regarding tomorrow's board meeting..."
Her words trailed off. The scene before her eyes widened in disbelief: a strange silver light flickered on Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong's tightly clasped arms, and both of their expressions were contorted in pain.
"You..." Ji Momo hadn't finished speaking when she saw the two of them fall to the ground at the same time.
The office fell into a deathly silence, with only the moonlight shining silently on the two men through the window, while the light patterns on their arms were disappearing at a visible speed.
Ji Momo stood there, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. She took out her phone and quickly dialed a number: "Qin Yu, guess what I just saw..."
On the office floor, Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng gradually regained consciousness. They slowly opened their eyes; the surroundings seemed unchanged, but a sense of unease welled up within them.
"What... happened to us again?" Yu Yuetong sat up, feeling dizzy, and tried hard to recall what had just happened.
“I don’t know, but that light pattern…” Qin Reng’s voice was low, his brows furrowed, “It seems we’ve been drawn into some kind of power again.”
"Could this be because of Ji Momo?" A thought flashed through Yu Yuetong's mind. "She came in just as we touched each other."
“It’s possible.” Qin Reng’s face darkened. “She has been eyeing us covetously, trying to ruin our relationship.”
Just then, the office door was pushed open again, and Ji Momo walked in with a smug look on her face, holding her phone in her hand, as if she had just finished a call.
"You two are really something else." Ji Momo's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I really want to know what you two just went through."
"What the hell are you doing?" Qin Reng asked coldly, his eyes flashing with anger.
"I just wanted to see your reaction." Ji Momo said nonchalantly, "I heard you swapped bodies, that's quite an interesting story."
"Don't get too cocky." Yu Yuetong stood up, trying to remain calm. "We won't let you succeed."
"Oh? You really think you can control all of this?" Ji Momo's smile turned sinister. "Your fate has already been sealed. I'm just waiting to see you make a fool of yourselves."
"What do you want to do?" Qin Reng's voice was low and wary.
“It’s simple. I’m going to make your relationship even more complicated.” Ji Momo’s eyes gleamed with cunning. “Your body swap will allow me to control everything.”
