Enemies

At that time, Yun City was turned upside down by Lin Nannan and her crew. Anyone connected to the Zheng family was taken down, and almost everyone caught got the death penalty.

Among them were her parents, her family.

To them, Lin Nannan and her husband were enemies!

For years, the entire city of Yun had been under their thumb. Putting aside other matters, just in terms of human lives, nobody had clean hands.

Her parents had too much blood on their hands, which was why they dared not put her and her brother out in the open. Those who were publicly visible were deliberately arranged to be the fall guys for them.

Over the years, she and her older brother had been well protected. Naturally, they hadn’t neglected their training; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to keep what the family had left them.

Originally, in another two years, they could have come out into the open, declared their identities, and lived a life where they held people's lives in their hands. But at the critical moment, Lin Nannan and her group ruined everything.

They didn’t even know exactly what had happened. They only knew that Lin Nannan, all by herself, charged into Yun City, stirring up such chaos that the city caught the attention of people from Jing City. Everyone involved had nowhere to run. Their parents made a snap decision to send them away before their identities were discovered, and they left on the same train as Lin Nannan and her group.

She watched as Lin Nannan, under Lu Hang’s protection, boarded the train and entered the compartment, all smiles as if the turmoil in Yun City had nothing to do with her.

That smile was like a knife to the heart. Defying her brother’s objections, she paid to swap tickets, ending up in the same compartment as Lin Nannan and her group.

At the time, she told her brother that even if they were investigated, being with Lin Nannan’s group would throw off suspicion. As long as they left Yun City, they would be safe.

But how could things be that simple?

They were safe. After leaving Yun City, they smoothly arrived in Jing City and took over everything their parents had left there. But without the financial support from Yun City, without their parents’ connections, without powerful backing, how could she and her brother possibly get those people to fall in line?

Originally, they had considered abandoning everything, working peacefully, and living as ordinary people, letting everything from Yun City become a dream of a past life, no longer dwelling on it.

But how could it be that simple? Their identities were still discovered. Those people wanted what Lin Nannan had, the things the Lin family had hidden. They asked for their cooperation, and the promised conditions were too tempting for her brother to refuse.

Anyone would prefer a good life over one filled with tears and laughter, so they decided to give it a try. That was why they rescued Zhang Ling, who was pretending to be sick—only she was familiar with the Lin family and would betray them. After all, what Zhang Ling had done was easy to find out with a little investigation.

Things went south from the start. Even though the Lin family’s patriarch and Lin Zhaoyou were seriously injured, at death's door, and the Lin family’s matriarch had fainted multiple times, barely holding on, they all survived under Lin Nannan’s interference, ruining their plans.

This operation was too high-profile, so much so that the Lin family found out about their plans. With the Lin family on guard, it became extremely difficult for their side to take action.

Her brother’s injuries weren’t from a fight with anyone. It happened when they were trying to kidnap the Lin family’s patriarch. He tried to seize the old man, while others fought desperately to protect him. In the end, her brother was seriously injured.

That time, they lost quite a few people. Most died because their injuries were too severe to risk taking them to the hospital, and without proper treatment, they didn’t make it.

As for her brother, because arrangements had been made in advance, he was rushed to the hospital immediately. Since his injuries were all just physical injuries with no life-threatening risks, he only needed time to recuperate.
