The gluttonous little boy is four and a half years old, and even the wealthy family kneels down and

In the living room.

Xiao Jin looked at Zhang Tianlin, who was sitting on the sofa with a nervous expression, with great excitement.

"You're here!" she greeted.

"Hmm," Zhang Tianlin responded sullenly, calling out very softly, "Little Aunt."

Yun Mingyue had already introduced him to the Yun family members.

He then realized that this fair-skinned little girl was not his sister, but his great-aunt.

"Hahaha," Xiao Jin laughed a few times. She noticed Zhang Tianlin's nervousness at a glance and immediately comforted him, "Grand-nephew, don't be nervous."

"This is your home, after all."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianlin silently clenched his hands, which were resting on his knees, into fists.

He changed into a new set of clothes, which were very expensive and stylish, but they didn't match his dark skin at all.

Zhang Tianlin bit his lip gently and whispered, "What if people don't like me?"

He was stunned when he came in and saw how big the house was.

He had never seen such a big house before.

"Everyone will like you!" Xiao Jin tilted her head and looked at Zhang Tianlin. "Xiao Jin likes you very much!"

Because everyone here is big, and she is the only small one, now she finally has someone as small as her to keep her company.

"Really?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Zhang Tianlin's eyes.

"Mmm," Xiao Jin nodded repeatedly. "Xiao Jin is new here too. Don't be afraid, Xiao Jin is here with you."

He looked at Xiao Jin strangely: "You just arrived too?"

"Yes, I used to live in the mountains."

"I see," Zhang Tianlin said, and suddenly he felt less nervous after hearing Xiao Jin's words.

Seeing Zhang Tianlin's tense body relax, Xiao Jin's face instantly lit up with joy. She reached out her small hand and took Zhang Tianlin's hand, "Xiao Jin will take you to find something delicious!"

"Let's go!"

Before Zhang Tianlin could react, Xiao Jin dragged him away.

Upstairs, Yun Zhengbang leaned on his cane, looking down at the two little ones with a look of contentment in his eyes.

He sighed, "That's wonderful."

Yun Mingyuan, who was standing to the side, chimed in with a couple of words, "Kids are so cute."

"When I look at Xiaojin, I'm reminded of Zijing when she was little."

Yun Zijing is his youngest daughter. She recently went abroad to participate in a violin competition, and his wife accompanied her.

Yun Zhengbang said, "Zijing's competition is almost over, right?"

"Yes, I'll definitely be back before Dad's birthday banquet." Yun Mingyuan paused for a moment, then asked, "Dad, what are your plans for your birthday banquet this year?"

Yun Zhengbang stared intently down below, his mind racing through the events that had transpired in the Yun family over the past few years.

He slowly tightened his grip on his cane, his gaze falling on the small figure downstairs, and uttered four words: "Make a big fuss about it."

They wanted everyone to know that the Yun family was about to rise to power.

Yun Mingyuan paused for a moment, then laughed, "Okay."

Since Mingyi's accident, his father has been very depressed, but he is finally getting better now.

And who would have thought that all of this was thanks to that little child below.

Yun Mingyuan's lips trembled slightly, and he murmured softly, "This is our little lucky star."

-

The next morning, Yun Mingyuan released the news as planned.

Lu Peng, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was leaning against the sofa in his apartment. His neck brace and the cast on his right leg were still on. He was grimacing and touching the bruises on his face in front of the mirror.

Chen Manman brought in the porridge and was about to feed him when the phone on the table rang, displaying the name "Yun Mingyue" on the screen.

Lu Peng raised an eyebrow, signaling Chen Manman to be quiet, and slowly answered the phone, his voice still feigning a hoarseness from illness: "Mingyue? What's wrong? I was just discharged from the hospital and am resting."

Yun Mingyue's voice, choked with sobs, came through the phone immediately; she was panicked and distraught, as if the sky had fallen.

"Lu Peng! You have to think of something! Dad suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage in the middle of the night and is still in a coma in the ICU. The doctor said his condition is not good... The company is in complete chaos, and even my older brother is about to collapse. I really have no other choice but to call you..."

She gasped for breath as she spoke, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "I really don't know what to do..."

Lu Peng's heart skipped a beat, and then a surge of joy welled up inside him, almost making him laugh out loud.

He held it in tightly, but softened his tone even more, feigning to comfort him: "Don't worry, don't cry, your health is important."

"Dad is a lucky man, he'll be alright."

"I'll take care of things at the company. I'll go there tomorrow to lend my brother a hand. The sky won't fall."

He spoke eloquently, but his eyes were full of calculation.

Once Yun Zhengbang falls, Yun Mingyuan is weak-willed, and Yun Ziqian is too inexperienced to control the situation. Wouldn't the entire Yun family become his possession?

"Really?" Yun Mingyue's voice carried a hint of vulnerable dependence. "Then I'm counting on you. You can't abandon me."

"Silly girl, we're husband and wife. I don't care who you care about," Lu Peng said sincerely. After coaxing her a couple more times, he slowly hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he slammed it onto the coffee table, ripped off the neck brace, hissed in pain but didn't care, his face beaming with undisguised smugness.

"Did you hear that? Old Man Yun is dying!"

Chen Manman's eyes lit up instantly. She moved closer and sat down beside him, her voice trembling, "Really? Then we..."

"A golden opportunity!" Lu Peng grinned maliciously, patting her hand. "With the Yun family leaderless, now is the perfect time for us to make our move."

"Once I've pocketed the advance payments for those cooperative projects with the Yun family, and transferred the last 80 million from Pengsheng's account to an overseas account, we'll immigrate with Zixuan, buy a big villa in Canada, and we'll never have to worry about anything again!"

The thought of the Yun family's impending downfall filled him with immense joy.

Chen Manman blushed deeply, her palms sweating with excitement:

"That's great! I finally don't have to sneak around anymore! Once we get out, I'll spend every day with you and Zixuan, and we'll live a good life together."

As the two were envisioning their future, Lu Peng's phone suddenly chimed.

He picked it up and saw it was a news notification.

The headline read: "Three falls within two months lead to Yunding Plaza's complete closure for rectification."

Yunding Plaza is the most important commercial building under the Yun Group.

He clicked on it and saw that the report was quite bizarre:

Yunding Shopping Mall experienced three falls within 50 days, all from the escalator entrance on the basement level, resulting in one death.

Three people fell from the same spot? How bizarre!

They probably cut corners during construction.

That was too dangerous! I'll never go there again!

"Hahaha, this is truly heaven-sent!" Lu Peng laughed even more wildly. "Even the heavens are on our side!"

"The Yun family's luck has run out, and their businesses are in trouble too. It's the perfect time to strike amidst the chaos. By the time they realize what's happening, we'll already be abroad!"

Chen Manman realized what was happening and said urgently, "Then let's quickly transfer all the available money in the account to an overseas account, the sooner the better!"

"And those advance payments for the three building materials projects from the Yun family—find an excuse to withhold them and transfer them all away!"

"Of course," Lu Peng replied, putting his arm around Chen Manman with a smug look on his face. "Just wait, in less than three days, we'll be completely free."

In the Yun family villa, Yun Mingyue hung up the phone, casually pulled out a tissue to wipe the corner of her eyes, but there wasn't a trace of tears on her face. Only a cold indifference remained.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Lu Peng took the bait as expected. After this performance, the other party probably already regarded her as a soft target with no opinions of her own and was planning how to make money off her.

But as soon as I put the cup down, an urgent notification popped up on my phone screen.

Her finger paused, and when she clicked on it, her expression changed instantly.

Yunding Plaza?

She sat up abruptly, quickly scanned the content, and her heart sank.

Three falls from the same building, all accidents?

This was not part of their plan at all.

In order to lure the snake out of its hole, they only planned to spread the false news that Yun Zhengbang was critically ill, and the shopping mall did not make any moves at all.

How could something like this happen in a perfectly good shopping mall?

She had a bad feeling and immediately dialed Yun Ziqian's number, her voice urgent: "Ziqian, have you seen the news about Yunding Plaza? What happened? Is someone pulling strings behind the scenes?"

The president's office at the Yun Group headquarters was in complete chaos.

Yun Ziqian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his phone clipped to his ear. Seven or eight department heads stood in front of him, all of them pale-faced.

"Auntie, I just found out, and we're investigating." His voice was low, and his eyes were full of seriousness. "The security department just checked the surveillance footage. All three people fell down on their own, without any signs of external force. It's very strange. The public relations department has been trying to suppress the trending topics, but they can't. The hype is only getting stronger."

He had barely finished speaking when the PR director beside him blurted out, "Mr. Yun! Something terrible has happened! Someone leaked the news of the old man's critical condition online, and now everyone's saying the Yun Group is leaderless, the stock price has started to plummet, and retail investors are selling off!"

Immediately afterwards, the phones rang one after another from the legal, finance, and operations departments, creating a chaotic cacophony in the office.

Yun Ziqian's phone kept vibrating, from shareholders, partners, and the media, one call after another, it was almost overwhelmed.

He pressed his brow and felt a throbbing pain in his temples.

The incident at the shopping mall was already troublesome enough, but the timing of the leak of the critical illness news was clearly a deliberate attempt to escalate the situation.

One wave subsides only for another to rise, clearly indicating that they intend to take advantage of the chaos to put the Yun family to death.

"Stabilize the stock price first. The public relations department should issue a statement. The shopping mall should immediately close for safety inspections..." He quickly gave the order, but before he could finish speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Everyone instinctively turned around to look.

An assistant pushed a black wheelchair in. The man in the wheelchair was wearing a dark gray shirt. He had a handsome face and his features resembled Yun Mingyuan's, but he was colder and more indifferent.

He had a thin blanket covering his left leg and his hands resting on the armrests of his wheelchair. Although he was sitting, his aura instantly silenced the entire room.

It is Yun Mingyi.

He disappeared for a whole year, and everyone thought he was recuperating abroad.

He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping lightly over the flustered people in the room, finally settling on Yun Ziqian. His voice was not loud, but carried an inexplicable steadiness:

"What's the panic?"

"The sky hasn't fallen yet."
