After she was taken out of the underground by the ginseng spirit baby, she was confined in a dark, cold, unfamiliar space for two long years.
Until that day, the day Yezi arrived.
Xiao Xian could hear a faint yet strong voice delivered to her ears.
It came from her space, which had been silent for two years, a space like the starry sky. In it, the only golden one, shining like the sun, had acpanied her through the hardest, most painful, and most confusing days, the sugarcane seedling.
"Death before life, life is the beginning of death, and death is the continuation of life. My dear master, you’ve acpanied me through the most difficult two years. Now it’s time to return to the warm yet cold reality." Life and Death, that was the Golden Skill she prehended at that time.
It was also then that Xiao Xian truly pleted her transformation from Silver Grade to Gold Grade.
When Wang Shuai came to his senses, Xiao Xian and Yiyi had already left. He seemed not to have heard clearly, and asked Li Ye beside him again, "Who did she just say she wanted to see?"
"Your grandma, Zhang Lvxiao. If I’m not mistaken, it should be related to Mr. Zhu’s death. Senior, I advise you, a woman’s vengeful psychology is very terrifying. Luckily, you’ve already left the family; otherwise, for the uping drama, you wouldn’t be in the mood to watch." Li Ye was discontented inside. Xiao Xian too. He had pleted the task perfectly, and she didn’t e to mend him even a little.
Xu Lan Ya had long been missing, and now her mind had only one thought, to immediately tell the family about Zhu Xiaoxian and her extraordinary skills, and inform Aisha to deal with Zhu Xiaoxian as soon as possible.
As one of the contestants, Aisha should very much want to eliminate such a strong petitor early.
However, Xu Lan Ya was unfortunately mistaken again.
"I’ll help convey this matter. You just need to handle what your mother entrusted to the Xu Family and Wang Peng. We hope that the tobacco from our new experiment this year can capture thirty percent of the North American market, fifty percent next year," Aisha, emotionlessly finishing the phone call, casually ordered.
Deal with Zhu Xiaoxian early? Why do that? She wants to confront Zhu Xiaoxian head-on, after all; she wants to see, with the rhinestone in hand, after two years of hard training, whether she can kill Zhu Xiaoxian herself.
Two years ago, Zhu Xiaoxian was protected by Zhou Ziang. Whenever she thought of how Zhou Ziang died with Xiao Xian, Aisha felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She wouldn’t kill Zhu Xiaoxian. She wanted to keep Zhu Xiaoxian, like those pets she kept in her pet cage, well-preserved.
After she pleted the trial of the Cangqiong Palace, she would resurrect Zhou Ziang, a brand-new Zhou Ziang, one whose memory never had anyone else.
Then she wanted Zhu Xiaoxian to watch them, living a painful and lonely life in the cage.
When thinking of this scene, Aisha couldn’t help but laugh. She was waiting, waiting for the moment to duel with Zhu Xiaoxian.
Even though Wang Shuai didn’t want to believe Grandma would meet Xiao Xian, he still conveyed Xiao Xian’s message to Zhang Lvxiao.
After hearing the other party was Zhu Shijun’s granddaughter, Zhang Lvxiao became silent, and after a long while, she still refused to meet Xiao Xian. This did not surprise Wang Shuai.
Wang Shuai was aware of some of the second uncle’s actions, but given Grandma’s and Father’s tendency to protect their own, even if the second uncle really did something wrong, they wouldn’t allow outsiders to harm the Wang Family members by any means.
Just when Wang Shuai thought the meeting with Xiao Xian would end without incident, a piece of news appeared on the internet.
The news was about the Wang Family’s second son, Wang Peng, being involved in producing smuggled toxic tobacco, with the tobacco production base located in Yunnan, while the storage site was in Guangdong.
The news also detailed the toxicity of that batch of toxic tobacco, with addictive ponents only slightly less potent than opium.
In addition, the news detailed that Wang Peng experimented with toxic drugs over the years, causing multiple nurses and doctors at 411 Hospital to be poisoned.
This news, before causing an uproar, was forcefully suppressed by the Wang Family.
Before this matter was pletely quelled, another piece of news surfaced online. It was an old report written by an elderly journalist from a municipal hospital in Guangdong, detailing a 10-year-old story about a couple with the surname Zhuo who allegedly mitted suicide in a hotel. The report suspected the couple was not a suicide but the result of murder.
Furthermore, more detailed information was uncovered by someone. It came from the will of the former corrupt director of the National Tobacco Bureau, Zhu Shijun. The will explicitly mentioned two names, "Wang Peng, Xu Changfu." It was they who threatened him, leading to revisiting the toxic tobacco incident years later. It was shown that tobacco newly cultivated contained the same level of toxic ingredients as the toxic tobacco from back then.
"Immediately stop possible follow-up reports, find the source of the news; we can’t let these reports shake the external trust in the Wang Family," Zhang Lvxiao couldn’t sit still anymore.
The Wang Family and the Xu Family both began relevant actions.
"No way, Old Man Yu Shan Yang contacted the news media after seeing that piece of news, saying that the case from ten years ago was deliberately manipulated," even the Wang Family members couldn’t sit still.
All of a sudden, among the veteran cadres, the voice of correcting the case and opposing the military control grew louder.
"Have Wang Peng immediately go to the United States to lie low; I’m afraid if it’s delayed further, the state will step in to intervene," not even half a day after Zhang Lvxiao’s words fell.
Wang Peng went missing on his way to the airport. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian () and cast your remendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
