She Lives without Regret in This Life

And today is the last day Mr. Feng gave to Miss Sheng Ning.

If Julian doesn’t die, then Miss Sheng Ning will have to.

”Sir, weren’t you planning on making Miss Sheng Ning the next Family Head?” he asked bravely.

”Yes! I intend to let her be the next Family Head, but she cannot disappoint me,” Mr. Feng said calmly. ”I absolutely cannot have a second Zhenzhen, and I don’t have time to cultivate another.”

”To achieve great things, cunning, methods, and luck are all essential.” He needed to choose the best successor for the family, someone who would keep the family strong.

”So are you testing Miss Sheng Ning’s luck?”

”It’s both luck and methods.”

”Understood!” Housekeeper Xing bowed and said, ”Our people have been watching Julian! We will report to you first thing if anything happens.”

”Good! Go ahead, you still need to oversee tonight’s auction.”

”Then I’ll take my leave, sir.”

”Hmm!”

”Housekeeper Xing, Housekeeper Xing, something’s wrong!” A bodyguard ran over quickly and stopped only after receiving a cold glare from Housekeeper Xing. He saluted and said, ”Sir, Housekeeper Xing.”

”What is it?”

”Julian was just killed in the red-light district.”

”Really?” Housekeeper Xing exclaimed in surprise, ”Are you sure?”

”Yes, it’s absolutely true. He was first beaten until all his bones were broken, and then shot dead.”

Mr. Feng said with satisfaction, ”It seems Ningning is indeed the most suitable successor for the Feng Family!”

”Congratulations, sir.” Housekeeper Xing smiled.

”Did you see who did it?”

The bodyguard shook his head and said with embarrassment, ”The perpetrator was highly skilled, clearly an expert, a veteran, and we didn’t find out who it was.”

”Alright, you may go now!”

”Yes!”

”Continue the investigation for me,” Housekeeper Xing instructed.

”Rest assured, we will certainly find out,” the bodyguard said, perplexed. ”Recently, several powers have emerged in M Country, and there’s one particularly mysterious group that no one knows which side they belong to or who the mastermind is. I think it’s related to this group.”

”Hmm! You may go now!”

”Yes!”

After the bodyguard left, Housekeeper Xing said thoughtfully, ”I’ve heard about this power too; no one knows where it came from, but it immediately infiltrated two realms and is also implicated in the commercial world.”

”That’s a good thing,” Mr. Feng said nonchalantly. ”Let’s wait and see; the excitement is yet to come.”

”Then, sir, I will head to the auction now.”

Mr. Feng nodded slightly, and only then did Housekeeper Xing leave with his people.

Sheng Ning sat in the box, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

”Aren’t you being too sensitive?” Gu Yunbo asked.

”My intuition shouldn’t be wrong,” Sheng Ning smiled bitterly. ”Sigh! Didn’t you notice? The current situation is something neither of us can control anymore.”

”I noticed,” Gu Yunbo said, leaning back with his hands behind his head. ”I met Arthur yesterday and heard that even the rescue world is unstable; it’s like someone is stirring up the three realms of M Country.”

”I’m talking about the Feng Family, the Duke of Westminster, and Daives, who’s telling you about this!” Sheng Ning said, quite speechless. ”I never noticed you’re so concerned about national affairs before!”

”Even if it’s a big deal, it’s a matter of M Country. What does it have to do with you?”

”Nothing! But I feel it’s related to you,” Gu Yunbo said with a half-smile. ”Isn’t this something your man is doing?”
