As Luo Yan listened to Luo Shicheng and Xiang Yune's conversation, she quickly scanned her surroundings.
There was no one on the top of the wall or the roof of the warehouse, and no trace on the trees or below the wall.
Is Xiang Yu lying and has no accomplices at all?
Luo Yan reached into her handbag and took out not pebbles, but the steel balls she had asked Chen Yuanshan for earlier.
Luo Yan made a throat-slitting gesture towards Luo Shicheng, and Luo Shicheng nodded almost imperceptibly.
Luo Yan raised her hand holding the steel ball, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow on the drainpipe on the second floor.
Whoosh! Without hesitation, Luo Yan flicked her wrist and threw the steel ball at the dark figure. The dark figure screamed and fell downstairs, lying motionless on the ground.
Xiang Yu suddenly turned around and saw that it was Luo Yan. His eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Luo Yan threw another steel ball, hitting Xiang Yu's wrist that was gripping the fuse.
Xiang Yu cried out in pain as a bloody hole appeared in his wrist.
With his right hand crippled, he used his left to pull the fuse. Unwilling to let decades of planning go to waste, Xiang Yu descended into madness.
Bang! Smoke drifted from the muzzle of Luo Shicheng's gun.
Xiang Yu fell straight to the ground after being shot in the back of the head, her left hand raised empty as if she hadn't been able to grab the fuse, just like her life's plans ultimately came to nothing.
"Xiang Yu!"
His right hand was pierced by a steel ball. The shadowy figure's gun was picked up by Luo Shicheng and became the murder weapon used to kill Xiang Yu. The shadowy figure roared in despair and suddenly stood up and pounced on Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng pulled the trigger, and the bullet struck the shadowy figure in the leg, causing the figure to fall to the ground.
Upon hearing the gunshot, Sun Bailing immediately escorted Shen Suyin downstairs, and together with Xu Tianzhong, they led everyone to hide in the basement.
Chen Yuanshan approached the back door alone and called out to Luo Shicheng in a low voice.
Luo Shicheng opened the back door and let Chen Yuanshan out.
Luo Yan shone her flashlight on the dark figure's face and recognized him as Xiang Yu's bodyguard, "Biao Biao..."
Luo Shicheng recognized him, tied him up with a rope, and together with Chen Yuanshan, carried him into the car and took him to the hospital. He then called the investigation team and the municipal bureau.
After leaving the basement, Shen Suyin went to the backyard to take one last look at Xiang Yu.
The child who was tricked into staying by Donnie's side ultimately lost his life because of the same greed as his mother. Shen Suyin was depressed.
When Hua Li came out and saw Xiang Yu's miserable state, she couldn't quite describe how she felt, but the tension she had been holding finally eased.
"Do you hate her?" Shen Suyin suddenly asked Hua Li.
Without Tang Nier's scheming, Hua Li, as Shen Suyin's only daughter, would have grown up in luxury and wouldn't have suffered so much, much less been bullied by Liu Jingqiu.
It's impossible not to hate, but it's not to the point of hatred either.
Hua Li said, "It is a kind of luck to be able to experience the birth of my motherland from scratch. Whether I hate it or not is not so important."
Shen Suyin scoffed, "You're quite open-minded."
Hua Li picked up Luo Yan, who had followed them, and asked indifferently.
"Otherwise what? Do you expect me to be filled with hatred and live every day in self-torture, wondering how wonderful my life would have been with you if I hadn't been replaced?"
Shen Suyin's face turned cold, but Hua Li remained unmoved.
"You don't think that if I don't hate her, it doesn't show how much I care about you as my mother, do you?"
Hua Li had hit the nail on the head, so Shen Suyin avoided his gaze and looked up at the starry sky.
Hua Li said, "Xiang Yu will stop at nothing to get your attention, and instead of stopping her, you even enjoy her scheming."
I don't understand the fun in this. I just want to say that I would never sacrifice myself to make you happy.
Shen Suyin smiled for a long time before speaking.
"Your three uncles' children are all like Xiang Yu, scheming and plotting to get their hands on the inheritance. Your uncles and I don't see anything wrong with that. On the contrary, the fiercer the competition, the more pleased we are..."
It is a great achievement to be able to select a qualified successor from among them. Poverty limits your vision, so you certainly don't understand my joy.
However, I won't force you; you don't have to do it if you don't like it.
"Well, I don't intend to inherit your property, so you can find a suitable heir as soon as possible without telling me again."
Luo Yan patted Hua Li when she heard that the mother and daughter were about to start arguing.
"Mom, let's go read a book."
Instead of having a pointless conversation here, I'd rather read more books.
Her daughter understood her best. Hua Li carried Luo Yan back into the house and took out the study materials that Luo Shicheng had bought for her to continue studying.
Luo Yan sat down next to her and picked up a book to read as well.
The learning content during this period differed from the diversification of later generations. It focused on basic subjects and emphasized the simplicity and practicality of knowledge transmission. After watching for a while, Luo Yan felt that her chances of becoming the top scholar were still very high.
Xiang Yu's body was carried away, and the on-site investigation was completed in the middle of the night. Xiao Xiu and Xu Tianzhong couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep. Only Hua Li and Luo Yan waited for Luo Shicheng to return before going to sleep.
Shen Suyin waited upstairs for Sun Bailing to return and then told him about her conversation with Hua Li.
Sun Bailing's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he hesitated several times before speaking.
Shen Suyin said, "I only have one daughter, Hua Li. She has to learn to fight and compete, otherwise how can she protect the family business I left her? What gives her the right to say those things to me?"
Sun Bailing put his arm around Shen Suyin and tried to persuade her.
"Throughout history, which emperor did not hope that his descendants could hold onto the country for a long time? But the change of dynasties has never stopped. So, Suyin, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We should not worry about them if we can avoid it."
Our responsibility is to live our own lives well, not to cause trouble for the children, and to take things as they come.
Shen Suyin felt a tightness in her chest. "I heard that she and her mother almost starved to death back then, and now they're telling me they have no interest in inheriting the property. I don't believe it."
Tell her that she won't participate in the inheritance competition while I'm alive, and after I die, she won't get a single penny, including yours.
"Su-Yin, is money really that important?"
Shen Suyin laughed when asked, "Don't you know why we've been separated for so long?"
If you were a rich man's son, we would have been together long ago. If Hua Li were rich, how could he have been bullied by that Luo guy and Liu Jingqiu?
In the future, morality will no longer be the standard by which people are judged; wealth and power will be. She doesn't even have this much foresight. To be honest, I'm very disappointed.
Sun Bailing accommodatingly said, "Besides your daughter, you also have a granddaughter. You're so young, it's not too late to start training Luo Yan now. Let Luo Yan learn from you tomorrow, without taking Hua Li, that disobedient one. Let her regret it."
After a few words of coaxing, Shen Suyin was soothed that the two of them went to bed together under the same blanket.
Sun Bailing's lifelong dream finally came true, and he was smiling even in his dreams.
Betrayed by her grandfather, Luo Yan secretly went out and ran all the way to An Xiaotong's house.
The elderly couple, An Dafu and his wife, have been taken to see An Xiaotong one last time. No one is home, but the front door is unlocked.
Luo Yan leaped onto the wall and saw a flashlight beam flash past inside the house...
