“Three million… Honey, think about it, with three million, why would we still need to work? We could buy as many school district apartments back home as we want, or even move to Beijing! We'd be Beijingers then!”

Aunt Cheng stammered, "But, but the house is registered in Ji Baishu's name, and didn't that lady say she wasn't allowed to return to the capital?"

Xiao Shisan, with his sharp ears, overheard a sentence and noticed that the two were acting evasively, clearly not wanting anyone to hear what they were saying. With a quick twitch of his eyes, he smiled and gave an excuse: "I'm going to the tea room to get a glass of water. You two talk first."

He reached for his coffee cup, his gaze shifting slightly. The listening device under the table was operating silently, picking up every sound in the room.

Once the outsiders left, Aunt and Uncle Cheng felt relieved and began to discuss anxiously in hushed tones: "If they don't want that little girl to go back, then so be it! We won't take her back; we'll go with our daughter!"

Why didn't you bring it?

"Don't forget how her parents died. She's all alone now, without parents or sisters. If she dies, we'll be the sole heirs to her estate!"

Aunt Cheng's face paled slightly with fright, and Uncle Cheng advised:

“Honey, I’m doing this for our daughter’s sake! Think about it, if she goes to the detention center, even if she gets out, will she be able to go back to school? What will her classmates think of her? We’re taking her away from this small place, it’s for her own good!”

Aunt Cheng was finally tempted. She glanced nervously left and right, and whispered, "So, so you'll kill that little bitch too? And tamper with the car..."

Uncle Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Keep your voice down! Don't let her have another car accident. Her parents died in a car accident, and another one would be too much of a coincidence. There was a news story about someone falling off a cliff not long ago, we could take that into consideration. Take her on a trip, and when we get to the cliff or on a boat, we could make sure she dies accidentally. It wouldn't be hard, would it?"

Aunt Cheng was clearly tempted: "But that little slut isn't home right now..."

"Just report him missing! If we can't find him, that's fine too. Four years after he disappears, we can apply to have him declared dead. We won't even need to lift a finger."

Just as Aunt Cheng was about to share her thoughts, she faintly heard footsteps outside the room.

Uncle Cheng pulled her arm: "Stop talking, we're outside. Let's talk about it when we get home."

She nodded quickly, picked up a paper cup from the table, and pretended to drink water.

The two thought they were discussing something discreetly, but little did they know that their voices had already been heard clearly through a listening device.

Xiao Shisan clicked his tongue in disgust and said, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. This isn't their biological daughter, but she's still their niece! How can these two be so cruel!"

The subordinate beside him added, "The implication is clear: the deaths of Miss Ji's parents are also related to them. Mr. Thirteen, should we investigate?"

"Investigate! We must investigate! Investigate thoroughly, and expose everything those two disgusting bastards have done! Let them try to scheme against us, and kill them!"

The subordinate nodded, and Xiao Shisan asked, "Was the wiretapping all recorded?"

"Everything is set up. Don't worry, not only is the recording done, but the hidden surveillance camera in that office is also on. It's absolutely crystal clear."

Xiao Shisan nodded: "And don't forget the one in the detention center, the one whose arm was broken."

"Don't worry, he's a local thug. He'll get things done quickly and efficiently once he's paid. His underlings will pretend to be family members and keep coming to pressure them. I guarantee they'll make these two decide to sell the house sooner rather than later."
