I patted him. "Little uncle, you've done your best. Short of burning me and putting me in a box, there's nothing else you could do."
His eyes reddened.
I reached out and hugged him. I rubbed my cheeks against his chest. "Little uncle." He was the only family I had left in this world. There were sobs, but I knew I couldn't cry.
I gently pushed my little uncle away. I raised my head and smiled. "I plan to be the heir of the Tong family!"
My little uncle's voice was nasal. "That position has always been yours. The Tong Family and Dragon's Gate are under your control!"
I nodded.
I saw Qu Hao and Du Heng.
Qu Hao opened his arms to me.
I was a little hesitant. He was Mai Qi's older brother and Jing Ni's boyfriend.
Qu Hao walked over and hugged me. "Nanxing, from now on, you're my little sister like Mai Qi. Call me when you need me!"
I knew the weight of his promise.
I smiled at him and nodded. "Big brother!"
Du Heng smiled at me.
Qu Hao patted my back. He whispered in my ear, "I know you will recover from this!"
I was touched. I gained both Qu Hao and Mai Qi's father's approval. I was lucky. Was it because I lost love that God had to compensate me?
I smiled bitterly inside my heart.
I didn't go check on Jing Tian because I couldn't, and I didn't have the courage.
Instead, I needed to focus on finishing what Jing Tian started. While he was still asleep, I would finish everything for him. I wasn't alone anymore. I had my little uncle, Qu Hao, Mai Qi, and Jing Ni. We were a powerful team.
Through the loopholes constructed by Jing Tian, we managed to lure the kidnapping culprits to China. We circled and vanquished them. With Qu Hao and Du Heng's help, we even cleaned up the political circles.
My little uncle and I started a head-on confrontation with the Seven Brothers represented by Jing Ning and Ye Qian.
Whether it was real estate, catering, clothing, department stores, or all other industries, we started to compete with them. Many people were involved. The shuffling of this scale affected many people. How many would survive? It would depend on their individual luck.
Ye Qian's ability could not be underestimated. Her flawless tongue could bewitch anyone.
However, Lu Yan didn't use this opportunity to strike. Mai Qi and Jing Ni found this very strange.
"It's strange that Lu Yan didn't come after Ye Qian. Lu Yan has been rejecting all the proposals written by Ye Qian in the company. On their side, Lu Yan has risen to a very important figure." Mai Qi commented as she studied the data.
Jing Ni looked at me. "Nanxing, what do you think?"
I drank a mouthful of water and said calmly, "If I'm Lu Yan, I'll let Ye Qian do the manual labor and wait to reap the benefits."
Mai Qi and Jing Ni looked at each other. "Tsk! We knew Lu Yan is a scheming bitch, but I have no idea she'd be so calculative!" Mai Qi shook her head and sighed.
I wondered if Lu Yan saw me as a scheming bitch too.
After this life and death trial, my heart settled. I could see everything more clearly. Both Lu Yan and Ye Qian worked for their own benefits. They didn't care about anyone else.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi ran over, panting, "Sister Xing, there's news from East City Prison.. Someone wants to see you."
