"Cough cough..."

Things in front of him began to blur, blood with the taste of rust forced out from his throat.

Li Shen Yi clutched his chest, but the blood wouldn't stop gushing from the wound.

He was gasping heavily, looking at the few nephews standing in front of him, shook his head with difficulty and said weakly, "It's useless... my will..."

"Your will states that Bao Han Company should be passed on to Xinyue."

The middle-aged man, holding a gun in his hand, looked expressionlessly at the old man he once admired immensely, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "The will is notarized by Blue Star Bank, no one can interfere with the execution of the will. But, uncle, what if Xinyue also dies? She's so young, does she have thoughts about making a will? Are there other heirs?"

Hearing this, Li Shen Yi fell silent.

He's no longer strong enough to curse them, but it doesn't matter.

At this moment, another middle-aged man couldn't help but say, "Uncle, why do you want to pass the company to that little girl Xinyue? Clearly, we're the ones who made huge contributions to the company! Xinyue is just a girl, ultimately she will get married and won't be able to keep this family business! If you pass the company to us, then we don't need to kill Xinyue!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shen Yi's mouth twitched, and a smile hung on his face, "Pass it on... cough cough... to you? If passed to you... the company will only... decline... you don't know at all... why the company has been able to... sustain until now..."

"That reputation for honesty and real value is outdated!" someone angrily retorted.

Li Shen Yi raised his head, said nothing more.

His mind wandered away, as if recalling many beautiful memories.

Moments later, his eyelids involuntarily drooped, his head and hand clutching his chest fell weakly.

The middle-aged man holding the gun secretly exerted his arms, suppressing the anger and sorrow within.

He had once admired Li Shen Yi immensely, believing Li Shen Yi would pass Bao Han Company to him, as after Li Shen Yi's son's death, he was the closest and most likely person to control the company's power.

Thus, he treated Li Xinyue like his own daughter.

Even if it was just acting, after so many years of play, there was undeniably some real emotion.

As long as Li Shen Yi was willing to pass Bao Han Company to him, he would certainly treat Li Xinyue as his own daughter, letting her live a prosperous second half of life.

But he never expected that Li Shen Yi actually set the heir as Li Xinyue for not only Bao Han Company but also the Li Family.

Upon hearing this news, his first reaction was disbelief, dropping everything at hand and running to see Li Shen Yi, wanting to know why Li Shen Yi did this.

—Clearly, he was the most suitable heir!

Yet Li Shen Yi told him he never considered him as the heir, everything was just his own assumption.

Actually, Li Shen Yi had indeed said before that he never viewed him as the heir, but he thought it was just Li Shen Yi testing him, as no one in the entire Li Family was more suitable than him to inherit Li Shen Yi's position.

From then on, his admiration for Li Shen Yi shattered, even harboring thoughts of killing him.

As time passed, Li Shen Yi never intended to change his decision, even writing into the will that Li Xinyue would be the heir to Bao Han Company and the Li Family.

This led to the occurrence of today's events.

"Second Brother, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing the call from others, Li Siyuan awoke as if from a dream, hastily tossing the gun into the arms of the person beside him, as that person caught it in panic, he feigned calmness, took a deep breath, and said, "Proceed according to the plan, announce externally that Uncle died of heart disease, also notify Xinyue, tell her to stop playing the Hunter game and hurry back to inherit the company."

Only by showing urgency can they make Li Xinyue believe they truly want her to return and take over the company!

......

"Grandpa... passed away?"

Just returned from Abyss hunting, Li Xinyue, who had rested for less than a day, felt like being struck by lightning, her face instantly turned pale.

Li Siyuan, who was on the phone with Li Xinyue, looked heavy, sighed, "Perhaps because he worked too hard during this period and didn't rest well, plus uncle's heart wasn't good initially, so..."

Li Xinyue's eyes were dull, lips trembling slightly.

It was as if something blocked her throat, making her unable to say a word, just tears streaming down.

After a long time, Li Xinyue sniffled and wiped away tears, "...I'll return right now."

No matter how much she wiped, tears kept flowing like a flood breaking its banks, she couldn't stop them.

Upon seeing this, Li Siyuan sighed, voluntarily ended the call.

Sitting on the bed in her room, Li Xinyue cried softly.

Shortly after Li Shen Yi's passing, Li Xinyue received the will from him.

Li Shen Yi said in the will, his current health was fine, if he suddenly died, it was the doing of Li Siyuan and the others.

Li Xinyue had cried the night before, now she cried because as Li Shen Yi predicted, Li Siyuan hoped she would return to Celestial Sea City quickly to inherit Bao Han Company.

"Second Uncle, you're just this eager? Do you have to... do you have to kill me?"

Recalling being treated like a daughter by Li Siyuan during childhood and growing up, Li Xinyue naturally regarded Li Siyuan as her father.

Upon receiving Li Shen Yi's will, Li Xinyue wanted to deceive herself, to convince herself that Grandpa just had an accident, his death had nothing to do with Second Uncle.

But after receiving Li Siyuan's call, Li Xinyue found herself unable to deceive her heart.

Compared to Li Siyuan's claim, Li Xinyue trusted her Grandpa's will more.

Since Li Shen Yi specified in the will that Li Siyuan could be his murderer, then Li Siyuan was the one who killed her Grandpa!

Li Shen Yi arranged everything before his death, even considered how to deal with Li Siyuan, he planned for Li Xinyue.

Gathering her emotions of heartache, Li Xinyue suppressed her nausea, dialed a number for Sasa.

Once connected, without letting Sasa ask, Li Xinyue immediately said, "Sasa, where is 'that person' now? I need his help!"

Until now, Yan Luo's name cannot be directly mentioned, especially when it might involve Yan Luo's location.

[What help do you need from him?] Sasa didn't answer directly but asked Li Xinyue.

Li Xinyue sniffled, said steadily, "I need him to accompany me to Celestial Sea City and help me inherit Bao Han Company!"

Sasa said: [Celestial Sea City? Okay, come to pick me up by car tomorrow morning, then we'll go outside the city together, remember to leave from the north gate.]

Li Xinyue widened her eyes, asked, "You're going too? No wait, were you planning to go to Celestial Sea City anyway?"

Sasa laughed: [If you called a bit later, we might have been on the road already.]

Though not knowing what Sasa and Yan Luo planned to do in Celestial Sea City, since it matched destinations, they could go together.

"Okay, I'll set off at seven tomorrow morning!"

After agreeing on a meeting time with Sasa, Li Xinyue hung up the call.

Li Shen Yi had devised a plan for her in the will; if she wants to return to Celestial Sea City to inherit Bao Han Company, she could call upon Yan Luo.

Though Yan Luo is currently on the wanted list, utilizing the Li Family's influence to bring him into Celestial Sea City is not difficult.

Once Yan Luo and Li Xinyue step into the Li Family, the surveillance cameras around will shut down. Li Siyuan may have the ability to disengage, but he certainly won't.

Because Li Siyuan's intention for Li Xinyue's return is to kill her, the shutting down of surveillance cameras aligns perfectly with his intent.

Thus, Yan Luo can act freely within the Li Family.

As for why Yan Luo, the answer is simple—

Li Shen Yi regarded Yan Luo as his grandson-in-law, and his abilities differ from the Engraver.

The Engraver can be interrupted by some special devices in its operations, but Yan Luo can hunt Demons with just physical power, capable of protecting Li Xinyue.

After seeing Li Shen Yi's will, Li Xinyue didn't think much, only contemplated bringing Yan Luo back to use his power to inherit Bao Han Company.

She may choose not to inherit Bao Han Company, but Li Siyuan shouldn't have killed her Grandpa!
