Please, whoever you are, don't let her die.

It should be me who dies.

Exchange my life for it.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened.

Shen Rao turned and held Qi Yan in front of him, with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

The rainforest was so complex and difficult to tell the direction, and even though he had experience in wilderness survival, he couldn't say that he was taking the right path.

Just as he slowed down his pace, a ray of light was reflected from behind in the twilight.

Behind dense grass.

At the man's feet was a hunting dog with red eyes and drooling eyes, staring at the two people in front of it. The man's mouth was cracked under the knitted mask.

"Amao, don't worry, I'll give you a snack right away."

He narrowed his eyes and aimed at Shen Rao's back, at his heart.

'Boom—'

An unknown bird fluttered away from the woods, and the tall man who was hit staggered forward a few steps and was about to go downstairs.

The masked man raised his gun, aimed at the back of his head again, and stepped on the hound that was rushing forward.

"Amao, I'll shoot him again, to make him more deadly."

"Woof!" the hound barked anxiously, saliva dripping down its tongue.

"Don't worry, don't worry, both of them are yours."

The masked man pulled the trigger.

'Boom—'

……

The Shen family’s old house, main building.

After Old Madam Shen called everyone over, she sat on the south seat, closed her eyes, and twirled her Buddhist beads without saying a word.

The doctor squatting beside her took her pulse and was said to be a direct disciple of a medical family.

"Madam, you invited us here because..." Shen Qionglan took the lead in breaking the stalemate. Her usually timid tone now had an imperceptible lift.

"Xiao Sheng," Qin Nongyu raised her hand, covered her handkerchief and coughed a few times. Her already bad complexion turned even paler in an instant, "Talk to them."

"Ah," Sheng Yan nodded, "The old lady's pulse has been weak recently. Since the onset of the cold, she has been coughing up blood and has difficulty in getting air into the lungs. This is a sign that her life is about to end."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jin Hui was angry, "Where did this quack come from! Someone, kick him out! How dare you curse our ancestors in front of the Shen family!"

"Doctor Sheng, what's going on?" The others were relatively stable.

Qin Nongyu put down the handkerchief and Sheng Yan stepped behind him.

"You heard it too," she brushed her fingers across the emerald bracelet on her wrist, her solemn expression softening a little, "I don't have much time left."

"Madam, please don't scare me," Jin Hui ran over and squatted at her feet, saying sincerely, "Let the doctor take a look again."

Qin Nongyu placed his thin hand on Jin Hui's head and spoke gently.

"The third brother's wife, I love you the most among all of these people. You are cheerful and playful, and I like you the most, cough cough." Qin Nongyu coughed a few times and his face turned paler.

"Madam..." A thin layer of tears covered Jin Hui's eyes.

Looking at the old lady in front of me, she seemed to disappear in the next moment and would disappear without a trace.

Jin Hui felt very upset. She hated the old man for being partial, but she was also really good to them...

Jin Hui lost her mother a few years ago and was married to the Shen family by her father as a sacrifice in an arranged marriage. She thought that she would be harassed by the old lady Shen, who was known to be cruel in the outside world, but that was not the case.

she's fine.

She knew how many women and illegitimate children Shen Houan had outside, but the fact that she, a girl from a small family who was not considered high-ranking, could sit in the position of the third wife of Shen until now was all thanks to the old lady.

Jin Hui loves and hates her.

She was jealous of the eldest son of the first wife who died early. Even Jiang Jinglan, a married daughter, could receive annual worship from the old lady, not to mention the favoritism that bastard Shen Rao received.

I wish she were my real mother.

Jin Hui often thinks so.

Then she will love my child and love me more.

Qin Nongyu clapped her hands and looked at the people in the hall who had different thoughts.

"I guess you have figured out why I called you here today."

Everyone held their breath and concentrated.

Qin Nongyu took the document from his assistant and glanced at everyone with a cold look.

"Brother Rao is missing."

"Ah?" The younger generation, who had no idea, were all shocked, "He's not..."

Did he go on his honeymoon with his little bodyguard?

"I encountered a plane crash at the border and now I am in doubt whether I am alive or dead."

Qin Nongyu repeated the story calmly, as if that was not her beloved grandson, but a stranger.

"Have you sent someone to look for him?" Shen Houan stood up and said in a passionate voice, "I'll call someone. Don't worry, aunt. Rao Ge'er is a lucky man. God will take care of him. He will be fine."

"I said that girl is not an easy person to deal with. Just look at how much trouble our Rao got into when he met her." Shen Qionglan added.

"She won't bring bad luck to our family, will she?"

"I was wondering why things have been going wrong lately..."

"Stop talking," Qin Nongyu interrupted her chattering, "I'm just taking advantage of the unknown life and death of Rao Ge'er and my illness to make an announcement."

She placed the document on the table, and everyone, pretending to be serious, turned their eyes to the coffee table.

Jin Hui was the closest and saw it first, and her pupils fluttered.

"You have seen it too," Qin Nongyu straightened his back, showing the aura of a great man in his bones, "This is my will."

"Madam, you..."

Qin Nongyu glanced at her and Jin Hui immediately shut up.

"Your share was already divided when the master left. Brother Rao and I have also prepared ours. We are just letting you know now."

"What does it mean?" Everyone stared at the will.

"The old lady and the eldest young master's will states that all the property under their names belongs to Miss Qi Yan." The assistant explained.

The most shocked were the younger generation of the Shen family. Shen Quezhu was the first to be unable to hold back: "Why did she do that?"

Yes, why? They're dividing the property before we even get through the door? That doesn't make sense!

On the contrary, the adult did not show much excitement, but only showed a look of surprise from time to time.

They had known it for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have had such strong murderous intent towards Qi Yan, a person from another family.

The assistant's next words completely changed the expressions of the calm Shen family members.

"If something happens to Miss Qi, these two properties will flow into the charitable trust under her name and contribute to charity."

"..."

The Shen family understood what this meant, that if these two people died, they would not get anything.

"Madam! Are you crazy?" Shen Houan was the first to change his expression. "Where did an orphan like her get a charitable trust?!"

He thought it was a conspiracy by Old Madam Shen.

Qin Nongyu looked calm: "She inherited the trust from her family. She is not an orphan in the mountains."

"No..." Shen Houan chewed on these words carefully, "Then who is she?"

"Hou An, there are some people you cannot and should not touch." Qin Nongyu looked at him with eyes that were chillingly cold.

"I can't protect you anymore," she said.

"..."

Ignoring everyone's different looks, Qin Nongyu was helped to stand up.

"I am not in good health, old lady, and I can't take care of you. You guys take care of yourself."

As Shen Houan looked at her back, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed the decorative vase.

'Bang! '
