Miss Guo woke up in bed, quickly washed up, and was then led to the living room.

Besides Chen Ming and his 'little brother', there was also a rather aloof-looking, somewhat older man standing in the living room.

Chen Ming introduced him to her; the man was Manager Wang. Upon hearing that he was merely a manager, and in Miss Guo's eyes, just a servant, she glanced at him dismissively and looked away.

Manager Wang didn't care, and remained sitting respectfully to the side with a cold face.

Chen Ming told Miss Guo about what happened yesterday.

“When we went there yesterday, the police had already sealed off the whole area. This morning we received news that your servants told the police they saw you come out of the study carrying something. Blood was dripping from it down the living room to the porch.”

Miss Guo looked at him in horror, "They, I mean the police believed him? They spent some money to silence that servant, no, they just paid him to kill him? Yes, they gave the police more money to change his statement and then killed him, once and for all."

In Miss Guo's mouth, human life was worthless, like spitting out a sunflower seed shell. Xu Keke couldn't tell for a moment which of the two was more ruthless.

Xu Keke got up and brought over a glass of milk. Miss Guo glanced at it with lingering fear; she remembered that she had drunk a glass of milk and fallen asleep yesterday.

Seeing her hurriedly turn her face away, not daring to look at her, Xu Keke smiled and handed the milk to Chen Ming, "Your stomach isn't good, don't always go hungry, drink a glass of milk first."

Xu Keke speaks like an adult caring for a child. The person in charge has long been used to it these past few days.

Those of them in this line of work often deal with all sorts of people and see a lot of people. They don't see special kids like this often, but they've seen them before.

Their patriarch, Long, was like that in his early years. He was already fooling the gang members when he was ten years old, and before he was fifteen, he had brought several gangs under his command.

Miss Guo was seeing this for the first time and looked at Chen Ming with some surprise. He obediently took the cup and drank the milk down in one gulp, as if it were medicine.

"I don't really like drinking this." Chen Ming noticed her surprise and, thinking it was because he had drunk too much, explained to her with a smile.

"Your entire family is currently being held at the police station. Your father has good connections with higher-ups, so the government has assigned special personnel. It's unlikely they'll be able to sabotage things. Especially..."

Chen Ming picked up the newspaper from the table and handed it to Miss Guo.

The words on it read in bold: "What goes around comes around; Boss Guo's daughter murdered her father."

Several photos of her were posted below. [The police are currently searching for her. If anyone sees her, please contact us immediately. A generous reward will be given!]

After reading the last line, Miss Guo was dumbfounded. "What should I do? I don't want to go to jail, I..."

"How did you end up in jail?" Seeing them looking at her, Xu Keke smiled sheepishly. "I mean, isn't the usual execution by firing squad?"

"If you keep acting up!" Chen Ming glared angrily at Xu Keke, a glare that even Miss Guo could see had no power whatsoever. Xu Keke wasn't afraid at all.

But she was still very considerate, making a gesture of zipping up a zipper with her mouth.

"This is also what I wanted to discuss with you. The reason I called Manager Wang here is because I discussed it with Brother Long. Now it depends on your opinion. If you agree, Brother Long will send someone to escort you out. But you have to keep the Guo family's property. They will give you a living allowance every year."

"I... I need to think about it."

Miss Guo looked at Chen Ming with a somewhat lost and dejected expression. She had originally planned to kill her father so that all of the Guo family's assets would be hers. Now, however, she was about to give it all to someone else.

She can only receive a small amount of living expenses, so how is that any different from before?

"I...I'm getting married. What will happen to my dowry? And what about me...?"

Xu Keke interrupted at the opportune moment, "You're already dead, why would you get married? If you leave this house now, someone will send you back in. The Guo family's assets may not necessarily end up in Brother Long's hands, but they certainly won't end up in yours."

To make things easier and less troublesome, they definitely won't let you out. Those people won't let you live.

Miss Guo swallowed hard. "But, but what if, I mean, what if..."

She gave Manager Wang an awkward smile, a smile more like a grimace. "I didn't mean anything by it, but what if Brother Long forgets to wire me the money one day? What will I do then..."

Since yesterday, when her biological father was killed, this was the first time Xu Keke had seen tears welling up in her eyes. She was on the verge of crying.

"I've thought of that too," Chen Ming said after Xu Keke had finished speaking.

“I’ve already spoken with Brother Long. I’ll take full control of the Guo family’s factory. I represent you and will be fully responsible. Do you remember the contract we signed back then? I’ll do my best for that money.”

Miss Guo was stunned. Something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Xu Keke stood up. "If it works, great; if not, forget it. Chen Ming and Manager Wang both have their own things to do and can't waste time here over this. Besides, Jiang's side isn't just Brother Long's territory."

The Guo family has a lot to get their hands on. They want to protect you, and they also want to protect these assets so that they can provide you with a living allowance regularly in the future. There are a lot of troubles involved. If Chen Ming hadn't braved the rain to beg Brother Long last night, do you think Brother Long would have bothered with this?

He really wants all of Guo's factories. If someone comes in and kills you now, do you think he'll burn paper money for you every year?

I'm telling you, if you don't leave this morning, you're not leaving at all.
