The curtains weren't drawn, and the bright sunlight streamed in, making the room warm and cozy.

The bed, covered in a beige four-piece bedding set, was covered with countless black scorpions, adding a chilling and eerie atmosphere to the bedroom.

The woman, who had been lying silently on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes were somewhat unfocused, but only for a second before they became clear again.

As she sat up, she saw a scorpion approaching her feet. She immediately stood up and moved to the doorway.

Opened the door and walked out.

Half an hour later, all the scorpions in the room were gone. It turned out that there were scorpions not only on the bed, but also in the closet.

"I'm so sorry, this was our oversight," a woman in her forties wearing a light-colored cheongsam said apologetically to Qu Yi.

She is an elder in the Bai family, and everyone calls her Sister Qin. She is one of the few people that Bai Yan, the current head of the Bai family, trusts.

"Ah."

Qu Yi lowered her head slightly and responded indifferently.

The woman looked at her a few more times and felt that she was different from before, thinking that she might have been frightened.

The living room was empty now that no one else was there.

Qu Yi leaned back, closed her eyes, and carefully sorted through the memories in her mind.

However, before it even started, a hoarse, grating voice rang in his mind: [Host!!! Help!!! I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!!]

Qu Yi opened his eyes: [Location.]

Upon reaching the location of 3333, Qu Yi was speechless. Wasn't this the basket they had just used to put the scorpions in?

"You can't go near this, it's dangerous."

A man dressed as a servant stopped her, his movements respectful but his tone firm.

Qu Yi didn't speak, she just looked at him.

His gaze was calm and undisturbed.

The man was taken aback: "The master said you should stay put."

Qu Yi: "I'll tell him myself."

This attitude from others makes one wonder if they are someone else's kept canary.

The man thought for a moment, then stepped aside.

As he watched her crouch down near the black basket, his eyes were filled with contempt and schadenfreude.

It would be best to be stung and poisoned by a scorpion.

Anyway, they are people who approached Mr. with ill intentions.

A crack appeared, and a black scorpion crawled out, climbing onto her slender, white fingers and settling in her palm.

White hands, black scorpions.

A beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor.

The visual impact is simply too strong.

The man was stunned on the spot, and only came to his senses after the beautiful woman's figure disappeared.

The target of this mission in this world is Bai Yan, the head of the Bai family. The Bai family's businesses are spread all over the country, making them a veritable number one group. In the beginning, the Bai family even monopolized multiple industries, becoming an existence that countless people looked up to.

Besides his astonishing wealth, Bai Yan himself is someone countless men and women aspire to be.

The Bai family wasn't always this powerful. They had once fallen from grace and were on the verge of bankruptcy because of Bai Yan's mother.

Bai Yan's mother is named Xu Man. She was married to Bai Sheng, the former head of the Bai family and Bai Yan's father. Bai Sheng liked Xu Man very much and trusted her a lot. As a result, this woman later colluded with her lover to steal the company's internal information, causing the Bai family's stock to plummet, all contracts to be voided, and the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

Bai Sheng was heartbroken and died of a cerebral hemorrhage in a fit of anger.

At that time, Bai Yan was 21 years old and studying at a university abroad.

He rushed back and turned the tide.

Unfortunately, just as the Bai family had stabilized and there seemed to be hope, his friend betrayed him and joined forces with other forces to seize the project that was extremely important to the Bai family at the time, almost a lifeline.

All the money Bai Yan invested went down the drain.

Since then, Bai Yan's personality has changed drastically. In five years, he has elevated the Bai family to a position that others can only dream of. Later, when people mentioned him, they would say that he was a "ruthless killer."
