The night wind blows and the sky is high.
The lights were on in a secluded manor, and a man stood on the rooftop.
The black overcoat blended into the night, highlighting the man's mysterious and unpredictable nature.
The man gazed ahead.
Even now that he's older, you can still tell he was a handsome man in his youth.
"Godfather, our whereabouts may have been exposed."
A young man appeared behind the middle-aged man, speaking respectfully, "The surrounding area is bustling with activity; if this continues, they might very well find their way here."
"The terrain here is treacherous, and there are traps all around. We should be able to hold out for a while longer." Compared to the young man's anxiety, the middle-aged man appeared extremely calm.
"I'll send more men to guard the area. If those people dare to get close, they won't be able to leave here safely." A sinister glint flashed in the young man's eyes.
As he finished speaking, the young man suddenly remembered something and added, "Now that you've found that woman's hospital room, why don't you just kill her?"
"Wouldn't it be too easy on her to just take her life like this?"
The middle-aged man's face cracked with rage, his tone ruthless, "I'm going to torture her slowly, make her wish she were dead."
"This woman truly does not deserve forgiveness."
The young man was equally furious, saying, "She's ruthless and vicious; she killed my adoptive mother and sister. I will never let her get away with this."
"Go and find out who that woman who chased me today is. She's incredibly skilled and definitely not an ordinary person."
He could have easily taken that woman away.
But the plan was ruined by the sudden appearance of a maid.
The other party kept chasing him, and if he hadn't fired a shot, who knows how long they would have kept following him.
He had never seen a woman with such exceptional skills before.
This is the first one.
"It's been checked. She's that woman's daughter, and also the wife of Zhou Jingming from the Zhou family in Kyoto," the young man said.
The middle-aged man's face turned even uglier.
That woman's daughter.
No wonder.
She looks somewhat like that woman.
He should have thought of that sooner.
The young man added, "Besides that, I've noticed that this Miss Su seems to have a strained relationship with that woman. It's said that Miss Su is the one who caused the Su family to fall into this predicament."
"Aren't they mother and daughter?" the middle-aged man asked, puzzled.
The young man handed over a document. "It's true that they are mother and daughter. However, that woman is cruel and vicious. She even abused her own daughter. This is all the experiences Miss Su has had in the Su family over the years."
"That woman had two daughters, Su Rou and Su Xi. Due to an accident, Su Rou went missing and ended up in an orphanage. After that, the woman tortured and abused Su Xi in various ways until Su Xi entered the entertainment industry and left the Su family. Not long after, Su Rou found her way back to the Su family."
That woman went to great lengths to promote Su Rou, even resorting to belittling and smearing her. If it weren't for the DNA results showing they were mother and daughter, I would have truly believed Su Xi wasn't that woman's child at all.
The young man recounted Su Xi's background, and the middle-aged man frowned deeply upon hearing this.
I've always known that woman is ruthless and vicious.
But unexpectedly, he treated his own biological daughter differently.
“However, since this girl is Zhou Jingming’s woman, she absolutely cannot be allowed to live.” The young man narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent surging within them.
"Both assassination attempts failed, so it's best not to make any rash moves recently," the middle-aged man warned. "Zhou Beiming is no ordinary person. After suffering a loss once, he will definitely be more vigilant. If you want to succeed, you'll have to find the right opportunity."
"But I can't wait any longer."
The young man was extremely agitated. "If it weren't for him, the land where Blue Charm Bar is located would have belonged to me. He also hurt so many of my brothers. I can't swallow this insult."
"You have to swallow it even if you can't!"
The middle-aged man's voice deepened, "His influence is spread throughout the entire capital. I suspect his true identity is far more complex than it appears."
Now that Miss Su is a trained fighter, with her and her husband working together, you might not have the upper hand.
"No, this time I hurt him!" the young man laughed triumphantly. "That bullet was so close to his heart, just a hair's breadth away, and I could have killed him."
And the shooting a couple of days ago, although it didn't injure him, at least served as a warning.
"That was just luck!"
The middle-aged man roared, "If you still want revenge and to take back Lanmei's land, you'd better behave yourself for now."
The young man was reprimanded, and although he was unwilling, he dared not argue back.
The man before him was his adoptive father, to whom he had always shown great respect.
His godfather did not blame him for his unauthorized actions, which was already the greatest kindness he could show him.
If you continue to argue with him, you might anger him.
"I'll listen to you, son," the young man said, softening his tone.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling him to step back.
After the young man left, he looked at Su Xi's information in the dim moonlight.
A chilling sneer crept across his lips. "Li Xuemei, wasn't it enough that you killed your own sister and niece? Now you're abusing your own daughter. What else wouldn't you dare to do?"
...
When Su Xi left the ward, Zhou Jingming was standing at the door waiting for her.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, she went over and hugged her with concern. "What's wrong? You look so pale?"
"It's okay, let's go home."
The scent emanating from the man warmed Su Xi's icy body.
This is her only remaining relative.
He was all she had left.
"Carry me on your back." I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to act cute and affectionate with him.
It seems that ever since Su Rou went missing, she has forgotten how to act cute.
No one can make her act cute.
Each day, I know the joys and sorrows of life, and I must endure the darkness alone.
It was after Lin Ye appeared that she felt the warmth of being protected from him.
Later, as the head of Fengxiang Pavilion, she shouldered great responsibilities.
Only by becoming more indifferent and strong could she establish her authority in Fengxiang Pavilion.
Over the years, although she has been surrounded by men, she has also learned how to act coquettishly and bewitch them.
But she had never acted like a man before.
But tonight, she just wanted to let go of everything.
Forget that you are Xinglan.
Forget that you are the master of Fengxiang Pavilion.
Just be a little woman who is pampered by her husband.
Zhou Jingming smiled and bent down without saying a word. "Get in, your personal ride."
Su Xi climbed up without ceremony and hugged the man's neck, saying, "It's so good to have a husband."
"No, it's good to have me as your husband," Zhou Jingming corrected.
Su Xi nodded, "That seems to make sense. My husband is one of a kind in the whole world, and he is the very, very, very best."
Zhou Jingming liked Su Xi praising him.
She was powerless to resist his coquettish manner.
She was like that, making him want to give her all his love.
Cherish her and love her dearly for the rest of your life.
