Ning Chen had something to do so he left.

Because her leg was scalded, she was afraid that her skin would rub against the bed sheet and infect the wound, so she lifted it. This posture was very tiring and unsightly.

Qin Yu sighed. She really had such bad luck!

Qin Yu quickly took out her phone and dove into a database.

Du Ming, deputy director of M City’s Public Security Bureau, had a military background.

Qin Yu quickly found his unit number. Sure enough, he was comrades-in-arms with Shi Yong and her father, Qin Sheng.

But she had never heard of this name. The elder had never mentioned it, and Shi Yong had never mentioned it either. It could be seen that Du Ming and Shi Yong did not have any interactions, even though they were comrades-in-arms.

Then why was Du Ming interested in her? Qin Yu recalled the story of her parents, who she knew by heart.

When her father Qin Sheng was still a soldier, he was specially recruited to participate in important cases at a police station. As an undercover agent, he infiltrated the fearsome gang “Pine Tower”.

He had used five years to successfully divide Pine Tower into two factions. One faction advocated expanding their influence and taking over the entire Southeast Asia.

The other faction advocated to become legitimate and make use of their geographical advantage to accumulate merit for their future generations. At that time, the wealth of the gang was already immeasurable. Qin Yu’s grandfather was the leader of the faction that advocated giving up their business, Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi’s daughter, Zhu Yi, had graduated from a famous school and was best at Financial Management. She was the one who had managed the business of her father’s faction, setting it on the right track. It also allowed Zhu Zhi to live a comfortable and prosperous life, without the need for bloodshed.

After going legitimate, he handed over the business to his daughter, Zhu Yi, and his subordinate, Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng and Zhu Yi were Qin Yu’s biological parents. They were the it couple that everyone had envied in the underworld at that time.

Because of their hard work, the profits of their faction far exceeded that of the faction that wanted to expand their influence.

At a time when the world was cracking down on crime, arms, smuggling, drug trafficking, and other businesses, they turned their frustrations upon Qin Sheng.

Zhu Yi was the underworld princess after all, so she was untouchable. However, Qin Sheng was different. He had become a thorn in their flesh.

The bounty on Qin Sheng’s head was half a billion on the dark web.

However, Qin Sheng was skilled, so it wouldn’t be easy to kill him. Moreover, Zhu Yi wasn’t someone who only had the title of underworld princess. Not only did she have brains, but she also had good skills

They were legends in the underworld. However, just as Zhu Yi and Qin Sheng were about to bring their comrades to the good side, something had happened to Qin Sheng.

This time, it was not an assassination attempt by the underworld, but an arrest warrant from the police.

Qin Sheng’s identity was also exposed. It turned out that he was a spy for the police, and the police thought that he had married the “underworld princess” and had already betrayed the organization, putting an international arrest warrant out for him.

This time, not only the bad faction of Pine Tower was against him, but also the good faction.

Qin Sheng was unable to defend himself and was pursued by three parties. The comrades who had once followed him had all turned against each other as well.

Qin Sheng eventually died at the hands of the three parties. Zhu Yi witnessed her husband’s tragic death with her own eyes and was heartbroken. This had led her to commit suicide.

With Qin Sheng’s death, the confrontation between the police and Pine Tower came to an end.

The police had no valid evidence as to whether Qin Sheng had defected or not. They had no choice but to treat it as an unsolved case and shelve it.

The two factions of Pine Tower parted ways forever. However, Qin Yu managed to survive.

This was strange, as even the details of her grandfather’s death were hazy. Yet she, a mere five-year-old orphan then, managed to survive.

The police did not have proof of Qin Sheng’s defection, nor of his innocence. As he could not be regarded as a martyr, his daughter could not be taken care of by the government.

With the collapse of Pine Tower and all the members of the Zhu family dead, Qin Yu had no one. That was where Shi Yong’s role came in, as her adopted father.

At that time, Shi Yong had already retired from the army and returned home. As Qin Sheng was his former captain, he said that he would always remember the captain’s kindness to him, and he did not believe that he was a traitor.

With this move, Shi Yong touched the hearts of many of his ex-comrades. The Shi family’s business ended up receiving a lot of preferential treatment because of Shi Yong’s loyalty. This in turn made his business boom.

Even many of the existing elderly customers would address Shi Yong as Mr. Shi, as a sign of respect.

Nevertheless, one’s character or ability had to be honed over time. As Shi Yong was so confident of his character, he had not improved for more than ten years.

Most importantly, he had slowly forgotten who had brought him all this fortune—Qin Yu.
