After a bout of wind and rain, Ling Hao and Mi Xi finished their physically demanding but enjoyable task.

Ling Hao said gently to Mi Xi, "Xi Xi, can you stop going to school? You can stay by my side and stay with me."

Mi Xi drew circles on Ling Hao's body with her hands. "Brother Hao, I want to finish my studies, okay?"

Ling Hao said, "I was just asking you. Do whatever you want, and I'll help you."

Mi Xi kissed Ling Hao and said, "Brother Hao, you're so good to me."

Looking at Mi Xi's feminine appearance, Ling Hao flipped over and pressed down on her again.

When Mi Xi went out half a day later, her legs were weak and she was walking unsteadily.

When she got home by taxi, she saw that all the other villas besides her own were under renovation. Mi Xi didn't have much energy to think about these things anymore and hurried home.

During this time, when Li Hongyun was away on a business trip, Mi Lan somehow managed to get him to agree to take her along.

Mi Xi thought this was a good thing, so she didn't ask Mi Lan what method she used. She went back to her room and fell asleep immediately.

Li Mu chatted with Lu Wan for a while, and they even exchanged contact information before driving back. Li Mu found it puzzling that the villa area was undergoing renovations. He quickly returned to the Li family villa, only to find it even stranger. In other words, apart from his own villa, all the others were under renovation, meaning that the entire villa area had changed owners at the same time.

A tall, imposing figure stood on the rooftop terrace of the villa directly opposite.

Qin Yin stood there, his deep eyes smiling, yet also a little regretful about buying all the villas here. Would this frighten the little girl?

Qin Yin took out his phone, and the call connected. Before he could speak, his assistant, Wang, hurriedly said, "The person who was with Miss Li before is named Lu Wan. She was an excellent student, but for some reason, she voluntarily withdrew from school. She is currently working odd jobs. So far, no bad records have been found in the Lu family."

Also, boss, you instructed me to buy a villa complex in Qishan. I bought all of them except for the Li family's. I didn't dare to bother the Li family and was about to ask you for permission.

Qin Yin told them not to disturb the Li family's villa. He instructed them to stop renovating all the other villas except the one opposite the Li family's villa and to sell them as soon as possible.

Furthermore, every person selling a villa is carefully screened. Villas here are only sold to people with a clean background and good character. Once that's settled, let's proceed immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yin was reminded by his bodyguard that he had a meeting in half an hour.

Qin Yin glanced at the villa across the street, then turned and left the Qishan villa district.

Assistant Wang on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded again. What? Sell it, good character, clean record? What kind of requirements are these?

Assistant Wang felt that his boss had been acting strangely lately, why he was protecting the Li family so much. He just couldn't understand it!

There's no way around it these days, the one who pays the salary is the only true father!

I could only drag my exhausted body and continue with the new task assigned by the boss.

"Keep going, working class!" Assistant Wang encouraged himself.

Ding~ Ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding ding.

Li Mu's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was a call from the famous detective agency.

I've done most of the investigation you asked me to do. Mi Lan has two older brothers, and her parents are still alive. Twenty years ago, they were a small but wealthy family in Kyoto. Later, for some reason, they moved to City C and seem to have had contact with the most powerful family in City C.

After hearing this, Li Mu agreed and hung up the phone, falling into deep thought.

City C? That's where I died in my past life.

As she thought about it, Li Mu's eyelids grew heavy, and she quickly collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep immediately.

However, he slept very restlessly, his brows constantly furrowed.

In his dream, he dreamt of his past life when he was 27 years old and was captured by Ling Hao in City C.

The scenes made Li Mu tremble all over. When she woke up the next day, she felt as if she had been pulled out of the water.

I quickly took a shower, tidied myself up, and went downstairs.

After having breakfast downstairs, I went straight to school.

On the rooftop of the villa across the street, Qin Yin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly waiting for the little girl to appear. She did come out, but Qin Yin's brows were furrowed.

She looked very tired. Why? Did she not sleep well?

A knocking sound came from the door.

He entered, his voice tinged with coldness.

The visitor was Tang Yuan, the president of the Qin Group, whom Qin Yin had personally appointed before he went abroad.

The chairman's overseas companies have stabilized.

Before Tang Yuan could finish speaking, Qin Yin immediately said, "I understand. I will make the arrangements. You may leave."

"Yes, Chairman," Tang Yuan said respectfully and left immediately.

Qin Yin picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Brother, can you take care of my company overseas?"

Qin Yu's exasperated voice echoed throughout his bedroom from the other end of the phone: "Qin Yin, what did you say? You want me to manage a company overseas? Do you think your older brother has been around for too long?"

Qin Yin, you can't just sit back and do nothing.

Qin Yin then said coldly, "If you have any troublesome matters, I will step in."

Hearing this, Qin Yu calmed down considerably and weakly agreed.

When Li Yi got up, he asked the maid, Li Mu, if she hadn't gotten up yet.

The maid said she would finish eating early and go to school. Li Yi was a little puzzled; it was strange that she hadn't waited for him. He quickly finished eating and went to school as well.

Mi Xi woke up at the perfect time; she was too exhausted yesterday, and she felt incredibly strong to be able to get up today.

I went to school without eating.

The homeroom teacher of the final class at Kyoto No. 1 High School walked into the classroom.

Students, the results of this month's monthly exam are out. I will now announce your scores.

Teacher Tang read out the scores one by one from the podium, amidst groans of despair and excited cheers.

Teacher Tang stopped speaking, glanced at the students in the class, and said, "Next, we will announce the top three in our class."

The classroom fell silent instantly.

Because everyone remembers the bet of 30 million.

799.8 points for Li Mu, 799.8 points for Qin Luochen, and 799.9 points for Li Yi. The crowd was in an uproar.

Holy crap, is this score even real?

My God, he's so handsome and rich, it's outrageous!

Li Mu is amazing too! She's not only a rich and beautiful girl, but she's also so good at studying. It's really unfair!

Wow, your grades are so good. Am I no longer qualified to pursue Li Mu?

All you male classmates... otherwise you wouldn't have a chance.

Show no mercy; it must be nipped in the bud.

Li Yi looked at Qin Luochen with cold arrogance, "You've lost."
