The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Jiang Yuyan watched as the police took Jiang Da and his group away. She glanced at the man slumped on the ground, muttering blankly, "It's over, it's all over..."

After thinking for a moment, she deliberately walked over to Xia Hong's side and said, "I heard that what Boss Jiang did was all because he was following someone's orders. But that person has never shown up, and we don't know who he is, what he does, or why he made Boss Jiang do these things?"

Xia Hong snapped out of her daze, her eyes darting around.

"It's a pity that Boss Jiang seems very loyal to the person behind the scenes. He's never even left the province and doesn't know any big shots. Why would a man like him be so devoted to that person? It's not like she's his unrequited love."

Xia Hong frowned, as if she had thought of something. Her face contorted with rage, as if she were both angry and annoyed by something.

"Originally, if Boss Jiang had just revealed who that person was, and let the police know that he wasn't the mastermind behind all of this, the charges might not have been so serious. But, what a pity—" She left before she could finish speaking.

Xia Hong sat there blankly for a while, then suddenly stood up and ran towards the town without looking back, completely ignoring the half-dead old woman, Granny Jiang, lying on the ground.

"Little sister, are you alright? What did you just say to Xia Hong? She didn't bully you, did she? Why did you say anything to her? You bunch of brainless people."

Jiang Muyi looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that his little sister was neither injured nor angry.

"I'm fine. I just told her that Boss Jiang was being instructed by someone behind the scenes to do his things. I wanted to test if she knew anything about Boss Jiang. The result was acceptable. Perhaps we can find some information from her."

Jiang Muyi's eyes widened. "You've already—"

Seeing the little sister's innocent and adorable expression, his doubts instantly stopped on the tip of his tongue.

That's right. My little sister is so smart, listening to her is definitely the right thing to do.

"Okay, then I'll have someone keep an eye on Xia Hong and see what she's doing in town and who she's hanging out with."

"Second brother, can you find someone to keep an eye on her? This matter can't be known by too many people. The person you need to find—"

Jiang Muyi patted her hair and chuckled, "I know, your second brother doesn't just make friends with any brother. Those who are brothers with me are definitely tight-lipped, so don't worry."

Jiang Yuyan nodded.

She was at ease leaving this matter to her second brother, but she was worried about his friends... However, she trusted her second brother.

After helping Mr. and Mrs. Jiang home, the four of them looked at the fallen gate and the damaged yard, and were almost furious.

Jiang Yuyan murmured, "It seems I was too conservative with my demands for compensation. I should have made him pay on the spot. I've lost out, I've lost out big time..."

Father Jiang chuckled, "My daughter is alright, Daddy can fix it. The gate isn't broken overall, it's still usable."

Jiang Yuyan curled her lip and snorted. "Let's leave it at that for now. Once we find out who's behind this, we'll take care of those people together."

Father Jiang immediately picked up tools to repair the door, while Mother Jiang helped clean up the damaged items in the yard. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Muyi disappeared.

Jiang's mother looked around curiously. "Hey, where's Mu Yi? Didn't he come in just now? I haven't seen him."

Mr. Jiang scratched his head. "I've been at the front gate the whole time, but I don't think I've seen him. I think I just saw him a moment ago. Where did he go?"

"That brat! With so many things happening at home, how can he still have the leisure to go out and play?" Jiang's mother was so angry that she wanted to pick up a broom.

Jiang Yuyan quickly grabbed her mother and explained, "Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry. It was me. I asked my second brother to go out and buy me some things. I was going to tell you, but I forgot as soon as I turned my head, hehe."

"Oh dear, how can you talk about yourself like that? There are so many things to do at home, it's understandable that I forgot. You mustn't say that again, my dear."

"Okay, I won't say anything. Mother, is there anything to eat? I miss your cooking so much while I'm away." Jiang Yuyan said coquettishly, shaking her mother's hand.

This made Jiang's mother forget about Jiang Muyi on the spot, and she only cared about making food for her daughter.

...

Jingshi, Lin family.

"What? Are you sure that woman and a man took a car to the train station? What about the other two people?" Lin Yue asked coldly.

"The remaining two people have basically never left the house, and we don't know what they're doing inside."

"Given the Jiang family's capabilities, how could they possibly afford to live in a courtyard? Go, find someone to report them... understand?"

"Got it, we'll get on it right away. But the brothers need the money, hehe, Miss Lin—"

Lin Yue's face darkened, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a wad of cash from her small bag, threw it at the person opposite her, and said sternly,

"Take care of them as soon as possible. If you fail again this time, it's hard to say whether you'll even have the chance to collect this money."

"Don't worry, Miss Lin, we're experts at this. We'll handle it perfectly for you."

As soon as everyone left, Lin Yue angrily swept everything off the table, smashing cups, teacups, and other items to pieces.

"Jiang Yuyan, the Jiang family... Damn it, why do they keep challenging my authority right under my nose?"

Lin Yue originally didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Yuyan.

However, the new guy she had finally managed to hook up with saw Jiang Yuyan from afar and, as if he had lost his soul, almost ran away with Jiang Yuyan, who was riding in a car.

Just thinking about it made Lin Yue's face turn as if she had eaten something disgusting, and she felt like vomiting.

Gritting her teeth, what could Jiang Yuyan possibly compare to her?

Aside from her barely presentable face, what else does she have?

Why did that person still see Jiang Yuyan in this life? Could it be that the two of them are truly destined to be together?

Lin Yue slapped the sofa hard, her face contorted and her eyes dark.

No, in this life, that person is mine. They didn't get married in the previous life, so how could it be a predestined fate?

Haha, how ridiculous.

In this world, only money and power are truly friendly; everything else, like love and family affection, is utter bullshit.

Soon, the Jiang family, including Jiang Yuyan, all disappeared before her eyes.

In her anger, Lin Yue didn't see something move in the shadows of the stairs behind her, then quickly and silently disappeared.

At this moment, Jiang Muxuan and Jiang Muren are anxiously waiting for news from their younger sister and second brother/elder brother.

Jiang Muren ate listlessly. "Big brother, do you think little sister and second brother have returned home yet? Are they alright? Could they have run into Jiang Song—"

Ever since his younger sister and the others left, he has had nightmares every night. In his dreams, his house is burned down by Boss Jiang, and his parents are burned to death.

The second brother tried to save them, but was beaten to death by Boss Jiang and his men. The younger sister tried to escape, but was caught by that group of beasts.

Every time this happens, he wakes up instantly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, covering his head, unable to imagine what might happen next.

He was afraid. He was afraid that something terrible had really happened to his family, that his younger sister and the others had encountered such a horrific thing.

Since having nightmares, Jiang Muren hasn't been able to sleep, and the dark circles under his eyes have become increasingly severe.

Jiang Muxuan frowned. "Don't overthink it. Don't forget how clever your little sister and second brother are. Also, if your little sister finds out you're overthinking things and not sleeping properly, she might get angry and ignore you."
