"You old bastard! You deserve a miserable death!"

Le Jiani stood up and kicked the blood-soaked body of Le Dahai.

Once she started, she could no longer control herself.

She vented her years of anger, kicking him repeatedly.

"You took my money, deprived me of the chance to be a mother, and yet you live so freely. This is what you owe me, all of it is what you owe me! You deserve to die! You old wretch, go to hell! Die—"

Le Jiani, already physically weak, stopped only when she had exhausted herself and realized the person on the ground was not moving, not even breathing faintly.

Le Dahai was dead.

His life ended silently, arranged by his own daughter in this dark and terrifying alley.

Le Jiani stared at Le Dahai’s body, her face expressionless, murmuring to herself, "You deserve to die, you forced me, you forced me!"

She took two steps back, turned around, and ran out of the alley.

The next day.

The body in the alley was discovered, and someone called the police.

After the body was removed, it remained unclaimed for a long time.

Le Dahai was not from Beijing; some people living in the old alley where he had died knew him.

These people only knew him as Dahai, and knew he had a daughter, but they didn’t know his real name, where he was from, or who his daughter was.

Since no one claimed the body for so long, Le Dahai’s body was directly disposed of.

From beginning to end, Le Jiani never appeared.

...

That night.

An Mingji invited Allen and others to his home to introduce them to Gu Jin.

Kasi had prepared a sumptuous dinner early on.

Gu Jin sat on the sofa in the living room, soothing the recently irritable Duoduo, patiently waiting for the guests to arrive.

Duoduo had been in a really bad mood these past few days, losing its previous liveliness, and had become noticeably more irritable and aggressive.

Kasi contacted Mr. Jacob in the United States, who, upon learning that it was the future Young Madam of the Darwin Family, the granddaughter-in-law of the Darwin Family’s matriarch, was more than willing to bring his beloved pet along.

In just a day or two, Mr. Jacob would personally bring his pet to Hua Country.

Gu Jin knew they were coming, but not because of her identity.

It could be said that, aside from Gu Jin herself, almost everyone in the Darwin Family tacitly acknowledged her as the Young Madam.

Kasi had always treated her according to the standards of serving the Young Madam of the Darwin Family.

Kasi walked out of the dining room and approached Gu Jin, asking, "Miss Gu, what wine would you like to drink tonight?"

"Whatever—" Gu Jin replied absentmindedly without lifting her head.

"The Romanee Conti that the Madam had airlifted over some time ago is quite good. It is said to have the aroma of Eastern spices and a fruity richness when it hits the palate. It’s a rare fine wine."

"Let’s go with that." Gu Jin nodded, somewhat distracted. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She had some indescribable emotions about Allen and the others’ arrival.

She wanted to know if Allen and the others were the people who had been by An Mingji’s side in the past life.

If so, her and An Mingji’s current life could very well be disrupted.

The Darwin Family’s vast commercial empire, with its many overt industries and wealth, was already incalculable, not to mention the massive underground arms empire, which was an astronomical figure beyond anyone’s imagination.

If An Feng were to send a superpower user to An Mingji’s side, it would already indicate that she was gradually grooming him to become a qualified heir of the Darwin Family.
