“How’s it going?”
“That stubborn girl still refuses to date. I’ve arranged so many options for her, and she still won’t go on a match.”
Su Yayun asked all at once, “We shouldn’t have let that nanny take Su Jin away back then. If she had stayed with our family, wouldn’t she have been easier to control?”
“Do you think your dad didn’t want that? But my idiot younger brother… he actually gave her all the property when Su Jin was born. By the time she turned eighteen, she would inherit everything!”
“Su Jin is already twenty. She probably still doesn’t know about it. We still have a chance.”
Standing at the entrance, Su Jin felt her body gradually grow cold.
If she hadn’t suddenly remembered today to notify her aunt Wu Xiaoqin about something, she would have remained completely in the dark.
She had thought her parents had died in an accident, never expecting that it was her closest brother who had killed them.
Later, many relatives appeared, expressing grief over the “accident” and generously offering to take her in and raise her until she came of age.
Her eldest uncle appeared at this time and, without a word, took her to their home.
Every time her cousin deliberately brought some fun toys or pretty dresses to tempt her, Su Jin’s grape-sized eyes would light up, her face full of longing.
Then her cousin Su Yayun would always take out some papers, saying, “Just sign your name, and it’s yours.”
Back then, she was too young to understand. She only remembered a little game her mother used to play with her: if she signed her name on paper, it meant she was selling it to someone else.
Terrified, Su Jin shook her head and refused to sign. No matter how Su Yayun coaxed her, she would hug a doll about her size and hide in a corner.
Not long after, the house’s nanny, Aunt Liu, appeared and took her away.
Aunt Liu was almost like a second mother to her. Being childless and alone, she raised Su Jin as if she were her own child.
Later, her uncle and aunt came to persuade her to live with them, saying she could also keep Su Yayun company.
Su Jin immediately refused. She didn’t want to live under someone else’s roof, eating under their scrutiny. Aunt Liu was the closest person to her besides her parents.
But good times didn’t last. When Su Jin turned eighteen, Aunt Liu tragically fell down the stairs and died.
The building mostly had elevators, and hardly anyone used the stairs.
Su Jin asked the property management for the security footage. After reviewing all of it, everything seemed normal.
The police concluded that Aunt Liu had slipped on the stairs, fallen, and hit the back of her head, causing a fatal blood clot that led to oxygen deprivation.
After that, Su Yayun kept trying to get close to her.
Su He took a drag from his cigarette. “It doesn’t matter. The lawyer who handled the related matters died accidentally, just like Su Gaoyi.”
Su Jin also knew the truth: she must have something valuable for them to keep pestering her.
At the end of the day, it was all about money, and they wouldn’t hesitate to do anything for it.
Su Jin took out her phone and opened a recording app.
“Honey, we cut the brake line to make them die back then. After waiting so long, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
“The problem is, we don’t know if that lawyer actually gave the files to Su Jin.”
Hearing this, Su Jin understood.
The lawyer in charge died in an accident right after handing over the files to her.
That, too, was their doing.
But what they didn’t expect was that she had transferred all the property into her own name a day early.
Su Jin clenched her fists. If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have grown up without her parents.
A tide of hatred filled her entire heart.
After that, she stopped listening to their conversation.
Instead, she went to gather information and recordings, exposing their crimes to the public.
Then she ruined their companies, leaving them with no way out—not even enough money to hire a lawyer.
Suddenly, they ended up in jail, “in all their glory,” and in a way, this was her revenge for her parents.
To make sure they didn’t get too comfortable in prison, Su Jin even bribed people inside, ensuring their sentence wouldn’t be easy.
At night, Su Jin was utterly exhausted from the past couple of days, yet a mountain of files still awaited her attention.
She was about to take out her phone to set the alarm for the next day when she noticed…
The phone screen remained black. Even after restarting it, the screen stayed dark.
Confused, she muttered, “What’s going on?”
The phone stayed unresponsive for a long while, until finally a window began to load on the screen.
“Could my phone be infected?”
She searched for an exit button but found none.
Once the loading finished, an app popped up.
Su Jin didn’t dare tap it recklessly, afraid that something inappropriate might suddenly take over her screen.
After ten minutes, the app finally opened, displaying: [Please proceed with property transfer!]
“What property transfer?” she asked.
[Please follow the on-screen instructions for specific operations!]
Su Jin read the instructions and hesitated for a moment but eventually tapped to proceed.
[Property assessment begins.]
[Assessment initiated. Your real estate is estimated at roughly two billion: properties on Ersha Island, Crescent Bay, Jinyu Garden, and even a small overseas island. As for movable assets, your company’s cash flow, stocks, fund earnings, cryptocurrency, bank deposits, antiques like paintings and ceramics, as well as jewelry.]
Su Jin was puzzled. “Is this… a game?”
[No, this isn’t a game! This is preparation!]
The screen listed all of her assets, totaling nearly ten billion.
“What’s next?” she asked.
[Next, you will proceed with the property transfer.]
“Transfer… to where?”
The screen didn’t answer her question but continued to display:
[Please see the list below. This is what is available for you to choose from by 1975.]
Her fingers swiped across the screen, revealing row after row of tables.

Su Jin thought that if she converted her assets into these, it would be more than enough.
“All right, then. Proceed with the property transfer.”
[Understood. Property transfer begins.]
