After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

The basement of the southwest corner warehouse is not far from here.

It only took three minutes.

The area has been neglected lately and is now a bit dirty and messy.

Wild grass brushed against Dong Yan's exquisite black leather shoes.

Dong Yan frowned and complained, "What kind of awful place is this?"

"Let me tell you, if the evidence you present later doesn't satisfy me, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

No matter the circumstances, Dong Yan's inherent sense of superiority always remained.

The man in the baseball cap curled his lip in disdain.

Without turning his head, he simply replied perfunctorily, "Don't worry! I guarantee you'll be very satisfied."

"This is it."

After entering the warehouse, you arrive at the entrance to the basement.

The man in the baseball cap stopped and slowly turned around.

He crossed his arms and looked at Dong Yan with a half-smile.

At this moment, the malicious scheming on his face was no longer concealed.

“You…” Dong Yan’s expression froze for a moment.

Eyes facing each other.

Sensing danger, her heart skipped a beat.

"Hmph! I have things to do, I don't have time to waste with you!" After hurriedly saying this, Dong Yan turned around and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"It's too late to leave now."

The man in the baseball cap suddenly became vicious. He grabbed a broken bamboo basket from the side and slammed it down on Dong Yan's head.

"what!"

Dong Yan gasped in fright.

But then, the exclamation was replaced by a painful groan.

"Ouch! Ouch! Stop hitting me!"

"pain!"

"It hurts!"

"I'll give you money, I can give you lots and lots of money!"

The man in the baseball cap remained unmoved, his fist landing heavily on Dong Yan as he continued to pound on her.

He was hitting and cursing at the same time.

"Old woman, what makes you so proud?"

"You dare to mess with our boss? Sending him such an ugly woman. You've offended someone you shouldn't have. I'll beat you up today and leave your face covered in bruises."

That's right!

The man in the baseball cap was arranged by the older man.

He told Dong Yan to wait.

She dared to mess with him and disgust him. It's already too lenient for him to have someone beat her up behind her back.

Moreover, the older man wasn't worried that Dong Yan would cause him trouble afterward.

Dong Yan was more afraid of being exposed for doing such a despicable thing as sending women to his bed, so she could only swallow this bitter pill in silence.

"Old man, I'll kick you to death."

After kicking Dong Yan twice more, the man in the baseball cap finally stopped.

He walked out of the warehouse.

The man in the baseball cap stopped and sized him up.

Seeing that no one was around, he straightened his clothes, pulled his hat brim down, and then quickly left.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Lying on the ground, Dong Yan winced in pain whenever she moved.

With great effort, she struggled to sit up and forcefully shook off the broken bamboo basket covering her head.

"hateful!"

Dong Yan was so angry that her face turned green.

Coupled with the bruises on his face from being punched, a mix of green and blue, he looked exceptionally comical.

They actually hired someone to beat her up behind her back.

What a piece of shit.

No!

I need to get out of here quickly.

Gasping for breath, Dong Yan rose unsteadily.

But who knows...

Before she could even stand up straight, she was in excruciating pain, and Dong Yan immediately lost her balance.

"what!"

With a gasp, Dong Yan fell backward uncontrollably.

And behind her is the basement.

The door wasn't closed properly.

She fell right in and landed on her bottom with a thud.

I braced my hand on the ground, and something poked me, causing another sharp pain.

I almost burst into tears.

Dong Yan felt depressed, angry, and extremely frustrated.

Why am I so unlucky?

Even drinking cold water can cause problems.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Dong Yan subconsciously grabbed something that was hard to hold and wanted to throw it away to vent her dissatisfaction.

But who knows...

As her hand swept across the surface, a dark black light, tempered with gold, suddenly flashed before her eyes.

"Huh? What?"

Dong Yan was taken aback.

She stopped throwing the object and instead held her hand up to her eyes to take a look.

"This is……"

Upon seeing the object in her hand, Dong Yan looked astonished.

It was a black ebony wood plaque.

It's been around for years; the wooden plaque is smooth and has a faint, pleasant fragrance.

It is engraved with a gilded Yan character.

The dragon soars and dances, its grandeur magnificent.

The combination of calm, mysterious black and noble gilding makes this wooden plaque clearly not an ordinary, mysterious item.

The words "eldest daughter" are also engraved on the edge of the wooden base.

I know Dong Yan.

This wooden plaque is a symbol of an ancient, reclusive family.

Each newborn child receives a plaque made of ebony wood.

unique.

The current head of the Yan family actually has two daughters.

The two daughters are one year apart.

When her eldest daughter was three years old, her best friend, Madam Yan, took her two daughters out for a trip and encountered a premeditated attack by her enemies.

A narrow escape from death.

The second daughter is missing.

Madam Yan and her eldest daughter, Yan Zimo, survived.

After that incident, Madam Yan was constantly worried.

Fearing retaliation from their enemies, the family chose to move abroad to settle down.

The words "eldest daughter" are engraved on the bottom of the wooden plaque, which means that it belongs to Yan Zimo.

but……

She lost her wooden sign during the attack, so how did it suddenly end up here?

With doubts in her mind, Dong Yan disregarded her pain and quickly looked down to examine herself.

The wooden sign was found in a bag.

Dong Yan quickly started rummaging through the contents.

It's all Yan Niannian's stuff.

Old photos, old clothes, old trinkets.

"How could this be?" Dong Yan was even more puzzled now.

How did the wooden sign end up with Yan Niannian?

Did she pick it up?

Who gave it to her?

Yan Niannian and Yan Zimo are the same age; she was only three years old when the attack happened.

Logically speaking, given her lowly status as an orphan, she shouldn't have been associated with this prestigious wooden plaque at all.

Dong Yan was completely baffled.

She could only put the wooden sign away for the time being, and then left the place as quickly as possible, limping.

……

The next day, He Baoli got up very early.

He washed his face, carefully shaved, and took out his favorite outfit from the closet. He stood in front of the half-length mirror and looked at himself with satisfaction.

After Zhang Shuo's wife came to persuade him yesterday, he clearly felt that Yan Niannian had heard everything.

because……

Although she still refused to look him in the eye, the chilling and eerie aura emanating from her had noticeably diminished.

Great.

His good days are coming.

Today I'm going to be a groom!

That's why he dressed up carefully today, planning to buy a bottle of good wine, cook two delicious dishes, and enjoy the wine before consummating the marriage that night.

"Mom, I'm going!"

He Baoli was in a good mood.

I made a point of telling the old lady before stepping out the door.
