From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Hearing the sweet and naive voice on the phone, Ye Zhen felt her nose tingle: “Mmm, okay, I promise you all, as soon as I have time, I’ll come back to see you.”

“Sister, it’s late. You should rest early, and we’ll call you again tomorrow.” Ming Chen reluctantly hung up the phone.

“Ming Jing, when will sister have the time?”

Hearing the voice made her want to see the person even more, human’s greed always grows bit by bit like this.

Ming Jing shook her head, “Only sister knows whether she has the time or not. Now that you’ve talked to her, it’s time for you to sleep, isn’t it?”

The three obediently went back to their rooms.

Ming Ti knitted her brows and whispered, “Don’t you feel that sister has changed from before?”

Ming Chen said thoughtlessly, “Where has she changed? It’s clearly her voice. Then tell me, what was she like before?”

Sister, she would surely scold us for having no conscience and only thinking of her now, then criticize us…”

This is in line with sister’s usual style.

The person on the phone was too gentle, so gentle that she felt strange.

If it wasn’t indeed sister’s voice, she would have suspected that Ming Jing found someone to pretend to comfort them.

Ming Chen shrank her neck, “I still like the sister we have now. What are you thinking about in your head? No matter what she’s become, as long as she’s our sister, it’s enough. Even Ming Jing didn’t say anything, so stop thinking about it.”

Ming Chen jumped into bed, and Ming Ti kicked her, “Go brush your teeth.”

Ming Chen grumbled as she got up: “You really are more and more like sister used to be.”

“Ming Jing, wait for me.” Liu Muxue caught up with her, holding up her skirt.

“You won the champion in the equestrian contest, so your riding skills must be terrific. Teach me to ride a horse tomorrow, okay?”

Ming Jing glanced at her, and the young girl’s eyes twinkled with expectation.

“Okay.”

Liu Muxue had prepared herself for a long-winded argument but didn’t expect the other party to agree so easily. Liu Muxue was first shocked, then overjoyed, and hugged Ming Jing.

“No wonder your junior sisters like you so much, I like you too, you’ve turned me.”

Ming Jing pushed her away, “I’m going to wash up, you should go to sleep earlier.”

After Ming Jing entered the bathroom, Liu Muxue threw herself onto Ming Jing’s large bed, rolling around.

In her room, there was a faint, unique fragrance that seemed familiar.

She had smelled it on Liu Jingyun as well.

This scent unconsciously made people feel calm, as if all worries and troubles had disappeared.

“Liu Jingyun, I hate you…” Liu Muxue muttered, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

When Ming Jing walked out of the bathroom, she saw Liu Muxue sprawled all over the bed, occupying all four corners.

She couldn’t help but laugh, covered her with the quilt, adjusted the room temperature, closed the door, and went to the study.

Turning on the computer, Ming Jing’s fingers flew over the keyboard, and she sent out a message in the chat window.

-Help me look into someone, SUYINCI.

Su Yinci.

-? This name has been set to self-destruct as soon as it appears on the internet, triggering an automatic program. Whoever did this is not an ordinary person.

Only top-tier hackers of the Central Q Bureau had such power and qualifications.

Quickly, the other party sent a compressed package, which Ming Jing extracted, and after reading the available data, it self-destructed.

The information was incomplete, but it was enough.

The computer screen emitted a light blue glow, reflecting on the girl’s snow-white face.

The whiter the skin, the deeper the dark eyes, like the mist in a mountain ravine, mysterious, hiding unknown danger.

It rained so heavily that night.

“Master Xiao, the connections have been made, our new friend Mr. Hu will help us, and those with the last name Shen will be wiped out. Then Jiangzhou will be ours.” Lin Feng saw that the man sitting in the main seat didn’t look overjoyed and couldn’t help but ask, “Master Xiao, do you have any concerns?”

“Do you know how Old Master died?” Ran Tengxiao said indifferently.Lin Feng replied, “Killed by Yu Jiang.”

“Who sent Yu Jiang?”

“This…”

“A tree that stands out in the forest is bound to be destroyed by the wind. Master Bo never understood this truth. It would be enough to be a local tyrant in Jiangzhou, but his ambition was too great, and he reached into places he shouldn’t have. If they don’t kill him, who else would they kill?”

Not only that, Ran Bowen’s enemies were numerous, and he had stained his hands with countless lives during his expansion over the years. If he didn’t die at the hands of Yu Jiang, he would have died at the hands of someone else sooner or later.

Otherwise, his first wife would not have died so miserably. After that, Ran Bowen became more cautious, hiding his wife and children from the world, with no one knowing their whereabouts except for him.

Perhaps he had anticipated this day long ago and secretly recruited soldiers and horses to create the Qinglong Seal, but it could not save his life. Instead, it became a death omen.

“Greed is insatiable and can never be satisfied, leading to one’s own destruction.”

Ran Tengxiao hooked the corner of his lips, and his thin lips revealed a hint of cold irony.

“If his child is found, they will be nothing more than a living target. They probably wouldn’t have survived to this day. In our line of work, being alone is our inevitable fate.”

Because we cannot show weakness, or we will face certain death.

“A long time ago, the Qinglong Association was already a thorn in the side of others.”

“Master Xiao, what do you mean?”

“If I wait passively for death, I will be no different from fish on a chopping block, waiting for people to massacre.”

He suddenly looked up at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

“Many years ago, there was a young man named Jiang Heng who came to Jiangzhou for work, but mysteriously died. Do you remember?”

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and carefully recalled, then shook his head: “I don’t know.”

“It’s too long ago, about seventeen years. He was of ordinary background but highly ambitious. In order to fight for some land for the common people, he offended the evil forces, and was murdered one night on his way home from work and thrown into Qujiang. It took a whole month before his body was found.”

Lin Feng suddenly remembered, “It’s the 117 Murder Case.”

The case had caused a huge stir back then, mainly because Jiang Heng was a good man who died a horrible death, and the people swore to get justice.

The police had invested a lot of manpower in the case, and it received a lot of attention from above, but in the end, it was left unresolved.

“Half a year later, a pregnant woman came to Jiangzhou. She had a mysterious background and was respected by everyone, everyone called her Madam.”

Lin Feng’s pupils constricted as he quickly realized the connection.

“Madam Jiang? So she was Jiang Heng’s wife.”

Her son, Jiang Jinchen, was Jiang Heng’s posthumous child.

Madam Jiang had always been mysterious in Jiangzhou, and no one knew her background or origin. Even those who did know never dared to utter a word about it in public.

“Madam is just her code name.” Ran Tengxiao dipped his finger in the tea and drew a symbol on the table.

Lin Feng gasped.

Everything connected, and it turned out that Jiang Heng had offended Ran Bowen back then. Ran Bowen saw only profits, and was used to wielding power in Jiangzhou, thinking Jiang Heng was just an ordinary person with no background, so he had Jiang Heng killed. What he had never anticipated was that Jiang Heng might have been ordinary, but his wife was anything but.

Lin Feng suddenly thought of Ran Bowen’s death.

“Yu Jiang… she’s from Madam Jiang’s side?”

It was simply astonishing how events had taken such a turn.

Lin Feng looked at the calm man before him, feeling even more awe in his heart.

How did Master Xiao get all this information without anyone knowing? It seemed that he wasn’t completely trusted by Master Xiao either.

He had even deeper schemes than Ran Bowen back then.

Ran Tengxiao’s smile was cold, “Yu Jiang, did you ever think of your own end? If you can hear me from beyond the grave, direct your killing intent towards your true enemy.”

Back then, Jiang Chunlan’s calculation was truly huge, taking a roundabout approach just to take Ran Bowen’s life.

When Ran Bowen died, the Qinglong Association became nothing but a gang of scattered shrimp, and she didn’t care about them at all.

But now, the Qinglong Association was a threat again under his control.

A greedy woman, she wanted too much and could not tolerate others sleeping beside her.

And the daughter of Ran Bowen, who was about to emerge, had the Qinglong Seal behind her.

No one would let go of such a fat piece of meat.

As for the daughter of his enemy, with that woman’s vicious nature, she would definitely not let her go.

This child was the best bait in his hands.

The chess game in Jiangzhou, who will win the battle?

Ran Tengxiao took a sip of tea, “It’s getting late.”
