"You should be able to guess who I am, but you don't know who I really am," the old man said slowly.

Yan Yuan'er looked at him speechlessly.

The old man snorted coldly: "Hmph, that bastard Xu Jin actually dared to lay a hand on the Xu family's secret treasure. His branch is just a guardian of the Xu family. Even if he gets the glass bead, he is not qualified to open it."

He is Xu Mengzi, the head of the Xu family.

Du Yuzhi's husband, Xu Manzhi's biological father.

Back then, the Xu family moved to the Bay Area, hoping to achieve great success and a bright future.

They also took all the supplies with them.

Who knew that the Xu family would lose in a power struggle?

The whole family was hunted down.

He narrowly escaped with his life, carrying the Xu family's top-secret information, and fled to Southeast Asia. He then returned to the mainland to do business under the guise of a Southeast Asian merchant.

Over the years, he worked diligently, inquiring about the Ding family along the way, and finally learned that Ding Xiaotong had taken the key and the secret treasure to Haicheng.

After some twists and turns, he went into hiding.

When they were hunting him down, his body was in a terrible state. Only by obtaining the Xu family's secret treasure and using his own blood to pledge allegiance to it could he possibly rewrite history.

Yes.

This glass bead holds a supreme secret.

It can send a person's soul back to the past.

He wanted to go back to before the War of Resistance against Japan, so that the Xu family's former master would make the right choice and not be harmed by anyone again, thus preventing a catastrophic disaster.

Yan Yuan'er felt uneasy as she saw his ever-changing expression.

She thought to herself, "No matter what method you use, I believe your conspiracy will not succeed. Your body is weak, and you won't live for more than a year."

A year?

Xu Mengzi smiled sinisterly.

He shook his head and sighed, "Silly child, strictly speaking, I am still your maternal grandfather. There are many secrets that I didn't tell your mother in person. She probably doesn't understand anything and knows nothing. She was just lucky to marry a military officer and live a good life."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan'er was furious.

Why would even a mad dog want to claim kinship?

She wouldn't admit it.

"Get lost, I won't let you get away with this." She gritted her teeth.

"Then let's give it a try."

Xu Mengzi stopped arguing with her and went straight to turn on the power switch.

He doesn't need much time; he just needs to say one sentence to his father from back then, and he can definitely rewrite history.

Although the glass bead will be completely destroyed, as long as history is rewritten and the Xu family survives, everything will be alright.

The radio waves came, impacting Yan Yuan'er's body time and time again.

A surge of electricity propelled the glass bead around her neck into the air, and a tearing scream echoed through the space.

"Aaaaaah, I'm being torn apart! I'm going to be burst by the energy! The old man wants me to tear open a time rift and send people back—"

At this moment, a terrible thought burst into Ye Yuan'er's mind, who had been resisting frantically at first.

She suddenly stopped resisting.

Upon seeing this, Xu Mengzi was extremely excited.

He stood at the very core, waiting for his soul to be torn apart and transported...

puff.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yan Yuan'er collapsed to the ground, her body covered in blood, and immediately fell into a coma.

"Ah—" Ling Jiaojiao went mad.

She had only one thought in her mind: no one could hurt her sister.

Driven by an unwavering belief, she charged ahead like a madwoman. Perhaps because the ropes weren't properly secured at first, she managed to break free.

Before Xu Mengzi could react, she used all her strength to ram into him.

Biu——

The soul was instantly ejected.

She saw herself leave her body, and a powerful force was tearing at her, causing her excruciating headache...

"Yuan'er, Yuan'er—"

She wanted to reach Ye Yuan'er, to save her, but she couldn't reach her, and her body couldn't hold on any longer.

At that moment, a painful groan echoed from the void, seemingly from Ye Yuan'er: "Please, Auntie, if you go back in time, tell my father to protect my mother. Someone wants to kill her..."

ah--

Ling Jiaojiao was torn apart.

She was in excruciating pain and wished she could die any second now.

But when she opened her eyes again, she was shocked to see that the body wasn't hers, but that of a little girl...

That fear and terror almost overwhelmed her.

Until she saw the young Yan Lin, whose face was covered with scars and dark spots... the surprise and shock in her heart were indescribable.

In a daze, she remembered Yan Yuan'er's words and reminded Yan Lin, "Brother, you must be careful. Someone wants to harm your sister-in-law. It's a premeditated ambush..."

As soon as she finished speaking, everything went black and she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.

"Save Xiaoyuan..." she shouted.

When he looked up, Yan Yuan'er was standing in front of him.

Her neck felt empty.

"Xiao Yuan, it's so good that you're alright." Ling Jiaojiao grabbed her arm.

"You kids are really making a scene. Let's see if you dare to be so bold next time!" Ling Junye scolded with a dark face.

A group of people followed behind him.

Xu Manzhi, Yan Lin, Ye Lan, Wen Jin, and the Yan family members all looked at Ling Jiaojiao with a hint of reproach in their eyes.

"If my sister-in-law hadn't discovered it in time, they would have killed me," Ling Junye said reproachfully.

Yan Liuliu had already run away.

After being rescued, fearing being scolded by a group of people, she hurriedly fled to participate in the school's summer camp activities, leaving behind the unconscious Ling Jiaojiao and Yan Yuan'er guarding her bedside.

Xu Manzhi sighed.

She gently patted her daughter's thin shoulder and said, "Now you've given up, right? Don't overthink things anymore. The Xu family is completely gone. Just focus on making the most of what you've learned, and that's enough."
