âDear, we are in Country Z. We should be law-abiding citizens!â Di Jingxuan reminded his wife.
Xie Qingyan rolled her eyes, âWhy does it feel that ever since you came with me to Country Z, you are behaving more like a citizen than I am?â
Seeing how his wife was puffing in anger, Di Jingxuan patted his wifeâs hand and said, âThere is a saying in this country â it isnât too late for one to avenge, even after a decade.â
Xie Qingyan stared at him and asked, âYou want to wait another decade?!â
âOh sorry! What I meant was we shouldnât just kill them so easily. We should at least torture him to death. If we kill them now, the pain would only be for a second, right? We should push them off the top of the pyramid and slowly torture them, letting them pay for their sins. This is what they deserve. Think about it. Do you think that itâs better to just kill them or to allow them to get to the top of the world, and then push them off while they are the most content? They would lose everything that they ever had in their life and would be living like beggars.â
Xie Qingyan wrapped her hands around Di Jingxuan and buried her head in his chest. She no longer felt like talking anymore, and the murderous intent that she had slowly disappeared.
Getting rid of them was easier than getting rid of ants, but that would mean that they wouldnât be able to avenge all the pain and sufferings that their daughter has been through for the past 20 years.

On the other hand, Zhe Yan was bombarded by phone calls and was telling Zhan Lichuan what happened in rage.
Zhan Lichuan was fixing the skin on the robot. His hands continued working as he told Zhe Yan, âThey are uneducated and obviously wouldnât know the meaning of ending everything. You should just teach them the definition. Why are you getting worked up?â
âWhat if they start disturbing the Young Mistress?â Zhe Yan asked.
Zhan Lichuan finally paused and looked at him, âWhy would you allow them to look for the Young Mistress? Do you think that she has nothing better to do?â
Zhe Yan answered, âYes Sir.â
Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have said that. It was all his fault.

About a minute later after Cheng Shuyu ended the call, Jing Xueanâs phone started ringing like mad.
As soon as he picked up his phone, he could hear his assistant speaking frantically, âBoss, the inspectors from the Environment Protection Department came to our site and said that there are major pollutants. The environment protection operations are not up to standard. They are asking for us to stop the project right away, and you will have to take a 7 day course as well as pay a fine.â
Jing Xueanâs face turned gloomy, âWhat?! Whatâs wrong with them?! Are they that hungry for money? Are they crazy?! I have been working according to the standards, why are they asking us to stop?!â
âItâs your brotherâs project. In order to cut down the cost for the company, he decided to use the cheaper nets, which is why most of the dust got out.â
Jing Xuean was dumbfounded!
âA bunch of idiots!â
After ending the call, Jing Xuean wanted to head out when his wife grabbed him and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Jing Xuean told her the entire incident about the Environment Protection Department.
âI will be at the site trying to solve this issue. I wonât be back for dinner.â
Jing Lu wanted to say something when the financial department called him.
Jing Xuean picked up the phone and heard one of his staff whispering to him, âSir, the inspectors from the Tax Department came. They said that they got a report that our company has been evading taxes, which is why they are investigating us now.â
Jing Xueanâs heart sank.
âWhy are they here to check on our taxes all of a sudden?â
âIâm not sure as well. They just appeared. You should know that the Tax department office is just near our office.â
âAre all of you fully prepared?â
âWe are, but you should also know that if they do a thorough investigation about it, we will still be charged.â
