The day my grandmother was pushed and became a vegetative state, the system found me, saying that if I successfully captured the nanny’s daughter, I could save my grandmother.
For this hope...
The bodyguard led Dr. Ouyang into the room to examine Shen Bingyan.
Shen Bingyan stood up from the balcony and went back to bed.
Dr. Ouyang was bending over to adjust the medical equipment, while his bodyguard stood by.
Shen Bingyan suddenly raised her head and said to the bodyguard, "Go and find out who saved me."
When she first woke up, she had already heard from the bodyguard that he saw her lying on the ground on the rooftop, but he did not see who her savior was.
Shen Bingyan has recovered somewhat and wants to find the person who saved her to express her gratitude.
Whether he wants money or anything else, Shen Bingyan can satisfy him.
The bodyguard replied respectfully, "Miss, I have already sent someone to investigate."
"It's just... the scene was too chaotic that day, and the surveillance cameras were all destroyed. It will take some time to find out the truth. Please give me a little more time."
Shen Bingyan did not respond further.
She had closed her eyes at some point, as if she were already asleep.
——
Over here, at the Qi family's residence.
After returning from the Shen family, Old Master Qi went to his biological daughter's room to reminisce about her.
Everything in the room remained the same as it had been over twenty years ago. Even though some of the furniture was quite old, the head of the Qi family simply had it repainted and repaired, unwilling to throw it away. It seemed that only by keeping it this way could his own daughter find her way home.
The adopted daughter stood at the door of the room for a while, her eyes unfathomable, before turning and walking towards the Qi family's basement.
The Qi family's basement is a training ground used for firearms training, so it is very soundproof and will not transmit any sound to the upstairs.
When the adopted daughter went down to the basement, she saw a man in camouflage practicing shooting.
His eyes were cold and sharp, like a wolf's. He fired five shots at the target without any emotion, each one hitting the bullseye, demonstrating his exceptional marksmanship.
The adopted daughter walked over quietly and hugged the man from behind.
Feeling the softness behind him, the man lowered his gun, removed his earmuff from his head, and asked gently:
Are we practicing shooting today?
The adopted daughter released the man, looked up at his cold and sharp eyes as he turned to face her, and said, "I accompanied the old man to the Shen family today."
"It's been over twenty years, and the old man still can't forget his biological daughter."
"I'm worried that if the Shen family finds that woman, given their capabilities, I'll be in big trouble."
The man sighed inwardly when he heard his adopted daughter say that.
Sure enough, this woman only comes to him when she needs him.
He knew that his adopted daughter had no feelings for him and only wanted to use him, but he was willing to indulge in such exploitation.
He reached out and stroked his adopted daughter's eyebrows and eyes, his cold and sharp gaze seemingly able to easily see through the ambition in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I handled that matter very cleanly."
"She's long dead. She disappeared completely twenty years ago. She won't implicate you. No matter how capable the Shen family is, they could never find out about that."
The man was Old Master Qi's confidant, and had fought alongside him through thick and thin. His adopted daughter knew just how ruthless he was.
The man handled that matter personally, so there shouldn't be any problems!
Hearing the man say that, she felt relieved after leaving the Shen family.
The adopted daughter angrily brushed away the man's hand that was stroking her eyebrows and walked out without any mercy: "Of course I trust you to handle things."
"I'm tired. It's probably because I haven't been sleeping well lately. I'm always restless."
"I think I need to drink more tonight to be able to sleep."
The man watched his adopted daughter turn and leave without a second thought, a deep emotion flickering in his wolf-like eyes.
He was more than ten years older than his adopted daughter, and this relationship was taboo, something that could not be made public and could only be kept hidden in his heart forever.
That was the thing he regretted the most!
At that time, his adopted daughter, who was only in her early twenties, knocked on his door drunk and collapsed on him, crying pitifully.
She said she was adopted by the old man when she was a child, and she knew this was not her home, so she always had to be careful and watch people's expressions.
But so many years have passed, and although the old man says he treats her like family, there is still a big difference between her and his biological daughter.
She can never compare to the old man's biological daughter.
Not long after, the old man's biological daughter disappeared.
He knew this matter must be related to his adopted daughter, and as the old man's confidant, he should report it to the old man.
But he hesitated. His adopted daughter saw his hesitation and instantly realized that his feelings for her were deeper than she had imagined. She took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms and asked him to kill the old man's biological daughter.
The adopted daughter told him all about her plans.
She had planned this scheme for so long, but failed to kill the woman, who instead escaped. Therefore, she lived in constant fear.
The man was once again moved by his adopted daughter's tears, fearing that the secret would be exposed when his biological daughter returned, and that his adopted daughter would be shot dead by Old Master Qi.
So he wavered and decided to help his adopted daughter hunt down the old man's biological daughter.
Watching his adopted daughter's figure disappear completely into the basement, the man silently turned around, picked up his gun, and fired a shot at the target with a cold gaze, without even putting on his earmuffs.
"Hide it well."
"The old man has been kind to me, and this is the last bit of kindness I can give him. Don't get involved, don't try to find out the truth, and don't even think about coming back."
"When you surface, no one can save you!"
The man muttered to himself, as if looking into the distance through a target.
As long as it's well hidden, hidden from everyone, everything can return to peace. No one will know of its existence, and it can be considered that a bloodline continues to exist.
He closed his eyes, a self-deprecating smile curving his lips.
Unlike the seemingly calm and peaceful situation in the Qi family.
At this time, Luzhou was also a place where undercurrents were surging.
It has been three days since Aunt Zhou was taken away by the police for investigation. Aunt Zhou said at the meeting that she would be back soon.
As time went on, more and more people in the company speculated that Aunt Zhou must have been arrested!
Some neutral shareholders began to get anxious, and at this time, those who sided with the old shareholders heard the news and began to try to win over these neutral shareholders.
The shareholders who had always supported the Zhou family sensed something was wrong and arranged a time to go to the hospital together to see Grandma Zhou.
"Grandma, it's been almost four years."
"If you don't wake up soon, the Zhou family may have to change dynasties."
"Alas, I don't know if you can hear us. We have tried our best, but the old shareholders are too powerful. We alone cannot protect the Zhou family."
Several shareholders sighed and complained to the grandmother in her hospital bed about the company's recent situation.
