"Xinyue is back."

Inside the Li Family Manor, a middle-aged man with a moustache glanced at his elder brother, Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan sat silently in a chair, toying with a pistol.

A few days ago, he killed the person he once admired most here, and now he was about to kill his 'daughter' here.

At moments like this, Li Siyuan couldn't help but wonder if he was being too greedy—did he really need to acquire Bao Han Company?

After pondering for a moment, he took a deep breath and made up his mind.

Indeed, he was very greedy and desperately needed Bao Han Company!

Power is like a drug to a man; once tasted, it becomes impossible to relinquish.

Wine, women, and song are merely embellishments of power. With power, one can have everything!

When Li Siyuan was seen by outsiders as the heir to Bao Han Company, everyone wanted to curry favor with him, and even celebrities wanted to be near him.

However, after Li Shen Yi decided to pass Bao Han Company to Li Xinyue, those who sought favor quickly left.

Of course, many stayed because they knew that even if Li Xinyue became the heir of Bao Han Company, Li Siyuan would remain as a high-ranking official under one person but above thousands.

His relationship with Li Xinyue was like that of a father and daughter. As a young person, Li Xinyue needed to mature, and until she grew up, Li Siyuan would undoubtedly be the manager of Bao Han Company.

However, Li Siyuan didn't want to be a manager; he wanted to own Bao Han Company!

Even when Li Shen Yi was in charge, Li Siyuan had to obey him, but Li Shen Yi was already old and could die at any moment.

Li Xinyue was different. Her youth made Li Siyuan fearful.

In just a few years, Li Xinyue could control Bao Han Company. By then, how much power would he still have?

That's why he had to kill Li Shen Yi and Li Xinyue!

Of course, Li Siyuan knew that it might be much easier to deal with Li Xinyue after Li Shen Yi's natural death, but he couldn't wait for that day.

"... Damn old hag, lingering like a ghost!" Li Siyuan gritted his teeth and slammed the gun onto the table.

The loud noise startled everyone present, their eyes fixated on the weapon.

They were frightened. If it accidentally discharged, someone in the room might die.

Given Li Siyuan's unstable mental state, who knew if he might suddenly go crazy and kill them?

With that thought, many there found excuses to prepare for an escape, quickly leaving the room away from Li Siyuan, even his brother hurriedly ran away.

Li Siyuan sneered coldly at the departing backs with a vicious gaze once everyone had left.

Now he needed their strength to suppress Li Shen Yi and Li Xinyue. Many veterans in the company were promoted by Li Shen Yi. If they knew Li Siyuan and others planned to oppose Li Xinyue, they would certainly aid her.

At that point, killing Li Xinyue would be nearly impossible.

"Once this is over, you're all done!"

Li Siyuan took a sharp breath, turning his gaze outside the window.

His eyes seemed to pierce through space, landing on the armored vehicle driving along the road.

Li Xinyue sat in the backseat of the armored vehicle, with a burly man wearing a full helmet driving.

Passing through a steel jungle-like cityscape, the armored vehicle entered a winding mountain road lined with lush trees.

It seemed as if they were venturing into the belly of a giant serpent, heading towards its stomach.

Halfway up the mountain, there was a spacious parking lot where Li Xinyue parked the armored vehicle and took an elevator upwards with Yan Luo.

At the mountaintop was an extensive manor accessible only by elevator or aircraft.

Housekeepers and smart machines serving the Li Family Manor had long been aware of Li Xinyue's return. They lined up in two rows at the elevator entrance, bowing when the doors opened.

"Welcome back, Miss Xinyue."

Their voices were so synchronized that it seemed to come from one mouth.

Seeing this spectacle, anger flared in Li Xinyue's heart.

When her grandfather was alive, he would never allow the housekeepers and smart machines to do such things as it would make them feel inferior.

"Haha, niece Xinyue, welcome back!"

A middle-aged man with an exaggerated laugh approached, opening his arms to embrace Li Xinyue.

Li Xinyue looked coldly at the man, "Uncle Fourth, did you make them do this? Do you remember what grandpa told you?"

Li Sixian's smile stiffened, his mouth twitching slightly, almost revealing his anger.

Suppressing his rage, Li Sixian complained, "It's just to welcome you back for this one time... disperse, all of you, disperse!"

Li Sixian turned to the housekeepers and smart machines around him.

People exchanged glances, sensing something was off in their conversation, and quickly dispersed, fearful of being caught up in anything.

"Where is grandpa's body?"

Li Xinyue asked Li Sixian as they stepped onto the hoverboard.

Li Sixian glanced at Yan Luo, who was trailing behind them, pursing his lips and replied casually, "He's already been buried at sea as per uncle's will."

In the will left for Li Siyuan and others, Li Shen Yi did mention wanting a sea burial.

But hearing this, Li Xinyue was nearly furious, shouting, "I wasn't even back yet, and you buried grandpa at sea!? You didn't even give me a chance to see him one last time!"

Li Sixian was startled by the sudden outburst.

Li Xinyue, who had grown up fighting demons, usually only hung out with Hunters without much feeling. But for Li Sixian, Li Xinyue's fierce aura was unbearable.

Thud!

Li Sixian's legs went weak, causing him to fall off the hoverboard.

Seeing this, Li Xinyue paused, then quickly understood what had happened.

She halted the hoverboard, standing directly above Li Sixian, "Uncle Fourth, look at yourself. So inadequate, and you think you can inherit Bao Han Company?"

Li Sixian angrily stood up, tremblingly pointing at Li Xinyue, "Li Xinyue, what do you mean?"

"Let me make it clear!"

Li Xinyue glanced around, knowing there must be many cameras pointed at her.

"I'm here to inherit Bao Han Company, and no one can stop me!"

With that, she left Li Sixian where he was, heading directly towards the villa with Yan Luo.

They had already had Sasa leave before entering the city, as it wouldn't be suitable for Sasa to be involved in the coming matters.

At the center of the manor was a large villa, built by its former owner.

The Li Family Manor wasn't originally theirs; it belonged to another family devastated during the Li Family's rise, forcing them to sell the manor to prolong their lives.

Alas, even after selling the manor, they didn't last long.

And so, it became Li Family Manor.

This was once home to all of the Li Family, where Li Xinyue had grown up, with memories in every corner.

But now, this place was tainted.

Conspiracy, betrayal, greed—

A shot obliterated the concept of 'Family' within the Li Family!

Bang!

Li Xinyue led the way, kicking open the opulent villa's door.

As she predicted, Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan, Li Sicheng, Li Sifang, her uncles, and aunt were mostly present.

Seeing the door slam open, the moustached Li Sicheng frowned, scolding, "Xinyue, why such a temper? This is the family door!"

Li Xinyue's gaze swept over her relatives, making two of them nervously avert their eyes.

Shaking her head, Li Xinyue said coldly, "There is no family anymore."

Fixing her gaze on Li Siyuan, she accused fiercely, "Second Uncle, did you kill grandpa?"

Li Siyuan replied calmly, "Uncle died of a sudden heart attack. I already told you during our call."

As long as he didn't admit it, there wouldn't be any problems, because all evidence had been erased!
