Chapter 1 Returning Home (Add to bookshelf, unlock the secrets to a thrilling read! Store it in your mind first)

Map of a border line in a tropical rainforest of a certain country.

A brown-green figure nimbly darted through the jungle.

"Thousand Kills has located the target."

"Prepare to kill."

A clear, decisive voice accompanied by slightly suppressed breathing.

The scope opens in just one second.

Her slender fingers had already decisively pulled the trigger!

The bullet leaves the barrel and travels precisely along its predetermined trajectory, hitting its target on the first strike!

"As expected of a sniper god!"

"I've said the phrase '[The boss is invincible]' enough."

Several men's deep voices of admiration came through the wireless communicator hanging on their ears.

Despite their praise, the codenamed Thousand Killer merely raised an eyelid and remained silent.

She silently wiped the camouflage from her lips with her index finger, then took out a candy from her combat uniform and popped it into her mouth.

The sweet and sour flavor spreads between the lips and teeth.

"Congratulations to the Shadow Hunter Commando Team, your three-year mission has been successfully completed. You can finally go home and visit yourselves." Chief Instructor Lu's voice suddenly came through the communicator.

"Wow! Cool! My darlings, I'll miss you all~"

"Don't get too excited yet. Maybe we'll be called back in a couple of days."

"Leng Feng, shut your stinking mouth!"

Listening to her teammates' lighthearted banter over the headphones, Qian Sha merely curled the corners of her lips. She got up from the ground and brushed off the fallen leaves and insects from her body.

An arm casually draped over her shoulder.

"Boss, don't miss me too much when you get home~"

What am I thinking about?

Qian Sha rolled his eyes openly, then slapped away Feng Sui's arm and said seriously, "Could it be that you're thinking about how you look when I beat you into a pig's head every time we train?"

"Pfft, haha!"

Several teammates walked over with their arms around each other's shoulders. Hearing their conversation, they burst into laughter without any mercy!

Feng Sui sneered at their mockery, then, filled with resentment, chased after Qian Sha's retreating figure. When he reached him, he leaped up and grabbed Qian Sha by the throat, shouting, "Boss! I challenge you to a one-on-one fight!"

Qian Sha remained silent, then delivered a backhand over-the-shoulder throw.

The beacon tower lying on the jungle floor: I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone!

Hahahaha!

Accompanied by their unrestrained laughter, the crimson sunset cast a glow on the setting sun hanging on the branches.

A commercial airliner soared through the sky, leaving a pale, thin contrail.

Seven days later, Phoenix Village, Gotham City, China

In front of a brick and mud house located at the corner of Fenghuang Village, the wooden door was wide open.

A tall, thin boy, dressed in light clothing, was squatting by the door washing clothes.

The weather was a bit chilly, and the well water he had just drawn made his hands red with cold.

Inside the courtyard, a woman dressed in brightly colored clothes sat at a stone table.

Her face was rosy, her belly was noticeably protruding, and she was chatting animatedly with several village women about everyday matters.

"Old Wen was right to agree to let Wen Cheng drop out of school. Wen Cheng isn't very bright, he won't amount to anything by studying, and it's a waste of money! It's so much better for him now, staying home to cook, do laundry, and take care of me and his unborn brother. That's a blessing for him."

"Yes, he's not like his sister Wen Ni, that girl is so smart! But it's a pity she dropped out of high school in her senior year."

They cracked sunflower seeds and started to scribble with their mouths crooked.

"Hey Yuling, speaking of which, has Wen Ni come back in the last three years? Did she go out to work and die somewhere?"

"That's hard to say! When I married Wen Yuanshan, Wen Ni had already left home, and I've never met her, so I don't know what kind of person she is!"

Sun Yuling, heavily pregnant, raised an eyebrow, her expression suggestive.

"But she sends money back almost every few months, and the mailing address is always encrypted and hidden! I suspect that Wen Ni might be hooking up with a rich guy outside!"

"That girl is indeed beautiful, you never know!"

They chattered and laughed maliciously.

Wen Cheng, who was squatting by the door washing clothes, couldn't stand it anymore.

He suddenly stood up, startling them!

His usually docile and silent handsome face flushed with anger. "I won't allow you to talk about my sister like that!"

"What's wrong with me saying a few words to your sister? Wen Cheng, it's your dad and me who have been working hard to support you for the past three years! Not your sister! She doesn't want you anymore, and you're still speaking up for her? You ungrateful little brat!"

Sun Yuling raised her eyelids and gave a nonchalant snort.

“My sister didn’t abandon me! When she left, she told me to study hard and that she would come back for me! Also, the money she mailed back was for my studies, not for you to spend as you please!”

"Who told you that money was for you? You brat, don't try to smear me in front of your two aunties!"

Sun Yuling's face darkened, and she raised her voice to shout!

"Old Wen! Wen Yuanshan! Come out here! Your son is driving me crazy! Ouch, my stomach hurts so much..."

"What's wrong? What's going on?" Wen Yuanshan rushed out of the house after hearing this.

"What's wrong? Ask your good son yourself!" Sun Yuling clutched her belly, groaning and screaming as if she were going to die.

"Dad! I did nothing wrong! She was the one who spoke ill of my sister first! That's why I talked back! Give me back my sister's money, I want to go back to school! I don't want to cause you any more trouble!"

"Money? You dare ask for money! You've ruined your mother's health, I'll make you pay with your life! You little brat!"

Enraged, Wen Yuanshan glanced around, grabbed a stick, and charged at Wen Cheng.

"I don't have a mother, my mother died a long time ago, this woman is not my mother! If you want to hit me, then hit me to death, I'll go down and find my own mother!" Wen Cheng cried and shouted.

He raised his hand to protect his head, trembling as he awaited his father's wrath.

However, the expected beating did not come.

With a clang, the stick fell to the ground!

Everyone looked up in surprise and disbelief.

A graceful young girl stood by the door!

Her jet-black, medium-length hair was tied into a neat high ponytail at the back of her head. On her not-so-fair oval face, her beautiful eyes were bright and spirited, and below her pert nose were thin lips pressed into a straight line.

His long legs, clad in black Martin boots, maintained the arc of a flying kick!

Ignoring the astonished looks on everyone's faces.

She pulled her leg back and turned to look at the stunned Wen Cheng. A barely perceptible smile curved her tightly pursed lips.

"Xiao Cheng, your older sister is back."

"sister!"

Wen Cheng suddenly came to his senses, his eyes already brimming with tears, and he rushed over and gave him a bear hug!

He's now half a head taller than Wen Ni.

But in Wen Ni's eyes, he will always be that little boy who, when wronged, would only cry and run to his sister.

"Wen Ni? Are you Wen Ni?" Wen Yuanshan was somewhat hesitant to recognize her.

The girl in front of me stood tall and proud, exuding an air of arrogance and aloofness.

She is completely different from the thin, dark-skinned, and frail little girl who left the village three years ago...

Sun Yuling held her stomach and forgot to cry out in pain.

Her eyes darted back and forth, her mind preoccupied with what she couldn't understand: why was this good-for-nothing back?

Was he abandoned by his sugar daddy?

Now that she's back, there'll be another mouth to feed in the family!

Standing at the door, Wen Ni patted her younger brother's shoulder reassuringly.

She finally turned her head to look at her father, Wen Yuanshan, and the strange and menacing woman beside him...

"That's right, I am Wen Ni."

"If I remember correctly, this is my home! And who is this pregnant woman, this gossipy old hag?"

“Spending my money, criticizing my faults, ordering my brother around, and sleeping in my mother’s bed.”

At this point, Wen Ni kicked the long stick on the ground away, and smiled coldly, "Oh, and she's pregnant with my father's bastard child!"
