Freedom

"Boss, are you serious? Congratulations!"

"Goddess, congratulations! You have to keep to your word, I'll finish our job well!"

"Ah! Boss, what day is it today for there to be such good news? Do you mean that you'll finally be able to contact us regularly now?"

"Boss, are you finally out of the mountains? Shall we all meet together? I'm even willing to kill to find a way there to celebrate with you, no matter how far you are."

"Oh goddess, I'm so touched. I don't have to overwork myself like an animal anymore. Hurry up and share some of our burden. I'm going to be crushed to death by work!"

"Yeah, boss, business is booming. We're going to die young from exhaustion. Your freedom is our freedom!"

"This is really great news! I want to have a drink!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

..

Qin Yu beamed.

This was her business empire, but she had never met her like-minded partners before. 

When she was 15 years old, she was tricked by Qu Li and Shi Xiao, and they tried to ditch her in the countryside. At that time, she thought that she was going to die for sure. 

As the two of them left her there, she witnessed a tragic car accident with her own eyes and reached out to save someone who was involved. Somehow, by chance, she ended up being taken away by a group of people who brought her to a secret base.

There, she met an old friend of her parents. The elder had wanted to take her away from the Shi family, but after they told her about the story of her parents, she decided to stay behind in the family to find out the truth about her parents' death, even if it meant that she had to maintain her crazy act.

The elder of the group had no choice but to send two people to infiltrate the Shi household in order to help her out when she needed it.

He was not going to allow the daughter of Qin Nansheng and Zhu Ruoyi to be so powerless!

Her parents were Qin Nansheng and Zhu Ruoyi; she shared their genes!

Qin Yu was not able to remember anything from before she turned five, so she could not recall how her father and mother looked.

However, when she heard all that had been told by the elder, a weight was lifted off her shoulders. 

She had returned to the Shi family, continuing to feign ignorance. She needed to use her own strength to dig up the facts and seek justice for her parents who had died in vain!

She could not be a good-for-nothing! 

She really missed the elder who had helped her all this time. He had made her feel as if her parents were watching over her from a faraway place.

Last year, she had sent her two masters returning back to his side because she was starting to develop feelings of doubt toward them. It didn't matter anyway, she would have to walk the rest of her journey on her own at the end.

As long as she had a strong heart, she did not need to be afraid of anything.

Qin Yu turned off all the applications on the tablet screen before switching back to the childish game. 

She watched the silly and cute little characters busily scavenging for food on the screen before setting the device aside, resting her hands on the edge of the bed, and swaying her feet, examining the furnishings in the room again.

She had been unable to find much information about Ning Chen.

All she knew was that his parents had died early and he was taken in by his grandfather. Ning Chen was doted on, and was to become the next leader of the Ning family as he surpassed his relatives. 

Five years ago, due to an accident, he lost his sight. It was widely rumored that he became depressed because of it, so the power of the Ning family was distributed to its various branches by Old Master Ning. 

Ning Donghai's heart ached for his grandson, and he fell seriously ill. After he recovered from his illness, he wished that he could give all the best things in the world to his grandson, but he did not bring up the matter of Ning Chen being in charge of the family.

Did one of the best things include finding his grandson a kind and virtuous wife?

Like Shi Xiao?

Qin Yu could not help but laugh when she thought of Shi Xiao's as gentle and virtuous.

There were always people who thought that money could solve all problems, and this Old Master Ning was no different.

Qin Yu pushed herself off the bed and looked back. 

'The bed is this high? If I fell off, it would probably hurt a lot, right?'

She thought as she stuck out her tongue. She didn't know much about antiques, but judging from the finely carved frame of the bed, it was probably very valuable. Not only that, every piece of decoration in the room didn't seem ordinary.

It seemed that Old Master Ning and his grandson's tastes were really extravagant.

Qin Yu's eyes stopped at the wooden statue on the antique pavilion in the room and she locked eyes with it for a moment.

The door behind them suddenly opened, and a tall figure walked in.

Qin Yu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the man who had just entered. There were only two dim candlelights in the room, but when that person came in, the bright light outside shone past him, making him look like he was covered in dazzling brilliance.

He was very handsome!
