Zeng Linglong's villa.

The black wrought iron gate slowly closed, shutting out the noise from the outside world.

Zeng Linglong got out of the car.

Standing in the courtyard, I took a deep breath.

The air in the depths of winter is crisp and clear, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance of winter plum blossoms.

He stretched his shoulders.

Five days and five nights of combat training, plus immediately throwing himself into high-intensity command after being discharged from the hospital—

Even he felt a bit tired.

That kind of fatigue doesn't come from the body.

It's the feeling of emptiness that comes from a sudden relaxation after a period of intense mental concentration.

"Boss."

Tiezhu followed him off the bus.

"You should get some rest."

"I'll go check on the pomegranates first."

Zeng Linglong turned around.

Looking at Tie Zhu's honest yet resolute face.

A hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes.

"Go."

He nodded.

"The car, Tengao, has already been arranged."

The words had barely left his mouth—

A faint engine sound could be heard outside the villa.

A black Maybach S680 was parked steadily at the entrance.

The streamlined body gleams with a low-key yet luxurious sheen under the winter sun.

Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment.

"Boss, this..."

"Isn't that too flashy?"

Zeng Linglong smiled.

"What's with the ostentation?"

"You are my brother, Zeng Linglong."

"Going to see his own sister in a beat-up car, is that appropriate?"

"Go."

"Spend some quality time with Shiliu."

"That girl... has suffered too much."

"Now, it's time for us older brothers to let her enjoy life."

Tie Zhu's eyes felt slightly warm.

He nodded vigorously.

"Boss, I'm off then."

"Um."

Zeng Linglong watched Tie Zhu get into the car.

Watching the black Maybach smoothly drive away and disappear at the end of the road.

He turned and walked into the villa.

Behind me, the wrought iron gate slowly closed.

The Maybach drove smoothly on the wide roads of Beijing.

Tiezhu sat in the back row.

Leaning back in the soft leather seat, my gaze remained fixed on the view outside the window.

Outside the window, the city scenery flashes by at lightning speed—

High-rise buildings, traffic, and pedestrians.

Bustling and noisy.

But Tie Zhu's thoughts had already drifted to another place.

That remote little mountain village.

That dilapidated old house.

Father's funeral...

Shi Liu cried her heart out.

She was so young, yet she had to endure such pain.

And he, as the older brother—

However, due to his special status, he could not always be by her side.

Tie Zhu's fist clenched slightly.

But things are better now.

The eldest brother arranged for Aunt He Jing to take care of Shi Liu.

Aunt He Jing treated her like her own daughter.

Everything they eat, wear, and use is the best.

The school he attended was also one of the top aristocratic schools in the capital.

Pomegranate……

Finally, I don't have to suffer anymore.

A slow smile crept onto Tie Zhu's lips.

That smile was very faint.

Yet he is an older brother, showing the deepest tenderness towards his younger sister.

Beijing Endy International School.

Shiliu has been assigned to this school to attend the third year of junior high school by He Jing!

This school, from kindergarten to high school, is filled with children of the powerful and wealthy.

High tuition fees are only one aspect; more importantly, you also need to have legal status.

Xiao Shiliu is the younger sister of Tiezhu, Zeng Linglong's sworn brother. She has suffered a lot since she was a child.

Therefore, He Jing wanted to provide Shiliu with the best learning environment, and she gave Shiliu the best in terms of food and clothing.

When Shiliu first arrived here, she found it quite difficult to adapt; everything here was like another world to her!

The environment and the classmates around her were things she never dared to imagine before!

But her experiences were incomparable to those of the privileged children around her—those classmates!

She watched her father leave her side and saw her brother personally shoot those bullies to death.

In addition, she has met quite a few important people.

So she started to adapt after a few days at school. At the same time, Shiliu has a very strong and independent personality!

She was an oddball at school, not for academics! Mainly, she was fiercely opposed to evil and loved to stand up for the underdog!

In addition, she had worked on the farm since she was a child and was very strong, so both the male and female classmates initially looked down on her!

However, on several occasions, when Shiliu saw her classmates being bullied, she immediately stood up and fought back against them all by herself!

So now she has a bit of a boss-like demeanor in the class.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The school bell rang on time.

The campus instantly became lively.

Students wearing the same school uniform walked out of the teaching building in twos and threes.

Some went straight to the parking lot, where rows of luxury cars were parked to pick them up.

Some walked towards the bus stop outside the school gate, even though very few students at this school take the bus.

Others gathered at the school gate, chatting, playing, and waiting for their parents.
