It was the dead of night.
Within the confines of a two-story villa, a man and a woman snuck about, the man carrying a person on his back. Under the glow of the faint moonlight, one could only vaguely make out the silhouette of a girl.
The pair slipped out of the gates, heading towards a black car parked in the dark by the side of the road.
After getting into the car, they quickly sped away.
Not long after, they had left the city and were circling up the north mountain. They finally came to a stop in the depths of a dense forest.
Getting out of the car, they dragged the body of the unconscious girl along into the forest.
It was an early autumn night, and there was a hint of desolation amidst the bitter cold.
Within the thick woods, fallen leaves covered the ground, and they could not find a clear path.
A man and a woman, one leading the other.
After walking for what felt like ages, they finally paused at an empty cliff.
"Alright, let's do it here."
The man spoke with uncertainty, as if he were asking for the woman's opinion.
At that moment, the girl on the ground, who had been drugged, suddenly woke up. She stared weakly at the approaching woman. "Sister, what are you doing…?"
"What am I doing? I'm going to take your life!"
The woman's voice rose, and a cold dagger flashed in her hand.
"Why?"
The girl on the ground quivered, her voice trembling.
"You shouldn't have appeared and taken everything that belonged to Father!"
The woman gritted her teeth, as if she was trying to suppress the anger in her heart.
The girl on the ground smiled weakly, but she was speechless.
What exactly was everything?
She was just the heir of the Ming family!
A hundred-year-old business with many descendants, yet such an important role had been given to a little girl who had run away to the countryside ever since she was young.
Who would be willing to accept such a preposterous thing?!
"Why are you wasting your breath on her? Once you're done, you can leave. It just so happens that this is a cliff, so we don't even have to bury her."
The man was a little impatient and raised his foot to step on the girl's shoulder.
"You..."
Without even letting her finish, the glaring dagger in the woman's hand had been plunged into the girl's heart. The woman snarled, "Reincarnate properly in your next life. You're really annoying."
As soon as she was finished speaking, the dagger that had entered the girl's body was yanked out, and blood immediately gushed out.
The woman looked coldly at the wound, as if she was still not satisfied. She waved the dagger, slashing the girl's eyes.
"Ahhh!!"
The girl on the ground finally could not bear it any longer, and screamed out in pain.
The black crows that had been sleeping in the late-night forest were abruptly startled, making the situation seem especially bizarre.
The man and the woman exchanged looks, and the man promptly kicked the girl off the cliff.
All of a sudden, her body was lifted into the air as she fell through the thistle-filled forest. In the end, she hit the ground hard, her body seemingly torn to shreds
She was Ming Qu, a superfluous child who had nearly been thrown into the toilet to suffocate to death. It was only because of her grandfather's kindness that she was able to grow up in the countryside. Now, she had returned as an adult, but because of the old master's proclamation of 'heir', she had once again become a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the Ming family.
Why? Why did the heavens have to treat her like this?!
She had only returned no more than a day ago, and she had already been kidnapped overnight by her jealous older sister and her fiancé. All this was only because she had surpassed her sister's father, becoming the head of the Ming family and claiming its inheritance.
No, this was not fair. She was not willing to die like this. She wanted to live, she wanted revenge!
Ming Zhicheng, Ming Lai...
Since they didn't treat her as their family, there was no need for her to consider them as family either! If she were to live, they would surely receive the punishment they deserved!
Fuelled with hatred, she endured the pain in her limbs and bones. She struggled for a moment, but found herself unable to move as she lacked the strength.
She attempted to open her eyes, but found nothing other than pitch-black darkness. She couldn't see anything clearly. She tried to scream, but the voice that emerged was only like that of a mosquito, and she eventually passed out, out of breath and exhausted.
