"When you killed the old man's only daughter, why didn't you think about leaving him an heir?"

"When you were making love to me, did you never think about the old man?"

“Yu Anping, let me tell you, you were involved in this too, so don’t even think about getting out of here.”

"I've already sent my son back to China. If you don't eliminate this threat completely, I'll make sure you never see your son again in your life!!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Yu Anping's expression finally changed.

His son was his only weakness.

The adopted daughter married twenty years ago, but in less than a few years, she had a major conflict with the man's family and finally decided to divorce him.

Not long after, the adopted daughter gave birth to a son, who took her surname.

Everyone assumed that the adopted daughter had given birth to her ex-husband's son, but only Yu Anping and his adopted daughter knew that the son born to the adopted daughter was his.

For so many years, the adopted daughter has kept Su Jian studying abroad, preventing him from seeing his son and forbidding the two from having any contact.

His purpose was to use his son to control him.

Yu Anping took a deep breath and stared intently at his adopted daughter's well-maintained face: "Do you really have to be so ruthless?"

The adopted daughter spoke with ambition: "You know I'm always ruthless."

"I will not allow any potential threats."

"In short, if you don't kill Zhou Yi, this potential time bomb will explode sooner or later, and then it will be your son who dies. Think about it carefully."

Sensing the cold killing intent in Yu Anping's eyes, the adopted daughter calmed her anger.

She suddenly softened her tone and said, "Anping, you know I'm not forcing you to make a decision. I'm doing this all for our son."

“We’ve done so many shameful things in the past. If the old man finds out, he will definitely not be lenient. It doesn’t matter if I die.”

"But our son certainly won't survive either. Do you want to watch him die?"

“I know you’ve missed your son a lot all these years. Once he returns to China, I will transfer you to protect him.”

The adopted daughter's combination of persuasion and coercion gradually sank Yu Anping's heart, eventually plunging him into despair. The thought of his only blood relative in the world...

Yu Anping smiled self-deprecatingly, then nodded and gave up resisting.

In order to get closer to his son;

He had no choice but to prioritize his son's future safety, right?

He had no choice but to kill Zhou Yi.

"I don't like things to get complicated over time, I'll give you a maximum of seven days."

"You must kill him within seven days."

“Once this matter is resolved, and after the old man passes away, the three of us—you, me, and our son—can live happily together.” The adopted daughter reached out and grabbed Yu Anping’s hand, wanting to spend a moment of tender intimacy with him.

Yu Anping now loathed his adopted daughter's ambitious look. He coldly shook off her hand and turned to walk away.

"This is the last time."

"I will personally lead a team to Luzhou."

After watching Yu Anping leave the basement, the adopted daughter revealed a triumphant smile.

Yu Anping was the old man's confidant and wielded considerable power in the Qi family. This was why his adopted daughter went to great lengths to seduce him and give birth to his child.

Yu Anping returned to his room, packed a few clothes, took his documents, and a bag before heading to the airport.

On the way, he made a phone call to someone in the underworld.

"Prepare some things for me and send them to Luzhou."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Anping sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Ever since he saw Zhou Yi's photo that day, he knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

Perhaps he had been waiting for this day.

So he wasn't surprised when his adopted daughter came to see him today.

He was a cold and ruthless person to begin with, and the reason he let Zhou Yi go back then was simply because he was soft-hearted at the time.

Since he could no longer hide it, he had no choice but to kill Zhou Yi.

Yu Anping recited the Rebirth Sutra twice in his heart for Zhou Yi. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with coldness: "Zhou Yi, I gave you a chance. Blame it on your unwillingness to be ordinary."

"In that case, let's go down and reunite with Miss."

"The knife is sharp, it won't hurt..."

The Qi family's car passed by the Shen family's car, but the owner sitting in the back seat was resting with his eyes closed and did not notice the vehicles outside.

On the Shen family's car.

The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat cautiously peered through the rearview mirror at Shen Bingyan sitting in the back.

The air pressure inside the car was so low that it felt like falling into an ice cave, and the biting cold felt like knives slashing at you.

The bodyguard forced a smile and explained to Shen Bingyan, "Miss, this was arranged by the head of the family."

"He gave you a firm order: you must meet your blind date tonight."

Shen Bingyan opened her eyes, the frost in them still lingering.

"So you tricked me into going on a blind date like this!"

Shen Bingyan was handling some business at the company in the afternoon when she suddenly received a call from her grandfather, who said that he had sent someone to pick her up for dinner.

If Shen Bingyan refused, her grandfather would pitifully tell her that he was old and useless now, trying to arouse her filial piety.

Grandpa used this method many times, and Shen Bingyan always softened her heart.

Therefore, Shen Bingyan didn't think much of it and got into the car with the bodyguard, heading to the restaurant her grandfather had mentioned.

Upon entering the private room and seeing a strange man, Shen Bingyan realized that she had been deceived by her grandfather.

When the man introduced himself, Shen Bingyan directly and decisively rejected him.

Less than a minute later, Shen Bingyan came out of the private room and got back into the car.

Therefore, on the way back to the Shen family, the driver and bodyguard nervously explained to Shen Bingyan the whole way.

Although they knew the truth, they dared not disobey the old man's orders.

So he had no choice but to pretend that he was mute or deaf.

Shen Bingyan returned to the Shen family home in silence. After she got out of the car, the bodyguard and driver secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“My dear granddaughter, you’re back.”

"How was the blind date you met today? I personally picked him out for you—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Bingyan sat on the sofa, her eyes, filled with a cold smile, staring straight at Old Master Shen.

Grandpa Shen knew his granddaughter was angry, so he swallowed the rest of his words and quickly tried to appease her, saying, "Yan Yan, you're twenty years old now, you can start dating."

"Your grandpa is very open-minded and fully approves of you dating."

"It's just that I've reached a certain age; dating for a few years is just right for marriage..."

Shen Bingyan smiled faintly: "So you tricked me into going on a blind date."

"Grandpa, it seems I need to be more careful about what you say from now on."

Grandpa Shen said guiltily, "Ahem... If you're not satisfied with this one, there are several others who are a good match for us."

"There are countless wealthy families in Kyoto. Take your pick until you are satisfied."

"Do you want to go on blind dates one by one, or do you want your grandfather to organize a blind date event for you, so that all the young talents in Kyoto can come and let you choose your consort?"
