So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

However, one minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, and Qi Sheng was not dead. He still felt a tingling sensation all over his body. "How come I'm not dead yet?"

Cang Lan looked at him like he was an idiot, a mocking smile curving her lips, and said coldly, "When did I say it was poison? It's a good thing, I guarantee you'll want more once you have it."

She paused, a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashing in her eyes. That was a new type of drug left over from her previous life; giving it to Qi Sheng was really a bargain for him.

Qi Sheng unconsciously swallowed, and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what exactly did you inject me with?" Before he could finish speaking, his body began to show strange symptoms.

Qi Sheng's body began to tremble violently uncontrollably. A dazed expression gradually appeared on his face, and his eyes became empty yet seemed to carry a strange sense of satisfaction.

I was completely immersed in a blissful state, and the pain in my body seemed to disappear without a trace at that moment.

"Zhilan, is that you? Zhilan, I miss you so much, why haven't you replied to my letter yet..."

Cang Lan turned around, revealing a sinister smile, and kicked open the wardrobe door hard.

"Ah!" Wang Manyun screamed in terror, tumbling out of the wardrobe. She fell to the ground, wincing in pain, but she couldn't care less about the pain at that moment, because Cang Lan was staring at her menacingly.

Wang Manyun trembled with fear, bracing herself on the ground with both hands and desperately backing away, unable to utter a word.

Cang Lan approached her step by step, each step feeling as if it were treading on Wang Manyun's heart.

Just when Wang Manyun thought Cang Lan was going to kill her, Cang Lan simply bent down, picked up the bag of slow-acting poison from the ground, glanced at her contemptuously, and said coldly:

"Do you think I let you stay in the Zhou family until you're eighteen just because my stupid son and daughter-in-law pleaded for you?"

Wang Manyun turned deathly pale with fright, her voice trembling as she pleaded, "Please don't kill me..."

Cang Lan scoffed and said disdainfully, "Kill you? That would be too easy on you. Your retribution is yet to come."

After saying that, she took half of the slow-acting poison and turned to leave, leaving Wang Manyun slumped on the ground, her eyes vacant, as if she had lost her soul.

It took Wang Manyun a while to come to her senses. She stood up shakily and looked at Qi Sheng on the bed.

Qi Sheng stared blankly at the ceiling, a strange sense of satisfaction on his face, as if he were immersed in a beautiful, illusory world. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he occasionally murmured some indistinct words, his body occasionally twitching involuntarily.

Wang Manyun was so frightened that she scrambled out of the room, her footsteps hurried and frantic, as if a demon were chasing her.

The next day, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, bringing a touch of warmth.

Cang Lan had just woken up when Xiao Bai hopped in like a cheerful little bird. He carried a beautifully prepared breakfast, his face beaming with a bright smile, and said as if presenting a treasure, "Host, this is your breakfast!"

Then, Cang Lan glanced at the large bag of slow-acting poison on the table and said, "Where did you go last night? Here's a bag of slow-acting poison for you. Add it to Qi Sheng's three meals a day."

"It's all thanks to the cake chef in the kitchen. He's amazing! The cake was so delicious that I ate until I was stuffed before going to bed last night."

Then Xiaobai put the slow-acting poison into his pocket. "No problem, host! I'll take care of this." After saying that, he happily went to deliver food to Qi Sheng.

After Canglan finished breakfast, he got up and went downstairs.

Just as I reached the stairwell, I heard Zhou Yanli's loud voice: "Mom and Dad, I've already sent messages to my friends. I'll introduce my sister to them tonight."

Zhou Yulan was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Zhou Yanli to do this. She looked up at Zhou Yanli, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude, and said, "Thank you, brother."

Zhou Yanli was a little embarrassed by her sudden thanks. He scratched his head, a blush rising on his face, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my buddies are all very loyal. No one will dare to bully you in the future."

Shen Yue and Zhou Qiming stood aside, watching the interaction between the brother and sister, with gratified smiles on their faces.

Just then, Zhou Qiming saw Cang Lan come downstairs. He straightened his expression and said, "Mom, I don't know what happened last night, Dad was talking nonsense all night, he was like a madman. Should we take him to the hospital?"

Cang Lan glanced at Xiao Bai, who immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Madam, I will contact the hospital right away and arrange for professional staff to take care of Mr. Qi."

Hearing Xiaobai say that, Zhou Qiming felt a little relieved.

Dad, this is all I can do for you. The rest is up to fate!

Then, Zhou Qiming went to the company.

The main businesses of the Zhou family have always been managed by Canglan, but Zhou Qiming and his colleagues are still responsible for some of the branch company affairs.

Soon, the time came for the banquet to begin. Attendees at this kind of banquet were either those who cooperated with the Zhou Group or those eager to curry favor with the Zhou family, given Zhou Hanyi's considerable connections and prestige in the business world.

On the second floor of the Zhou family residence, a large number of guests had already gathered for the banquet. Cang Lan stood on the second floor, his gaze sweeping over the crowd on the first floor with an imposing air.

Standing beside her were Zhou Yulan and Shen Yue, both dressed up in elaborate attire; the three of them resembled a noble and elegant painting.

Xiao Bai took the microphone, cleared his throat, and announced loudly, "Tonight, our chairman's 70th birthday celebration officially begins! Now, please welcome our chairman to speak!"

The hall fell silent instantly, all eyes turning to Cang Lan. Cang Lan wore a magnificent cheongsam, her hair neatly styled, and although her face bore the marks of time, the authority and confidence in her eyes commanded respect.

"Today is my 70th birthday, Zhou Hanyi. At the same time, there is another matter I would like to announce to everyone."

As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes. Shen Yue led Zhou Yulan to Cang Lan's side. Cang Lan gently took Zhou Yulan's hand, her eyes filled with affection and pride, and said:

“This is our Zhou family’s real granddaughter, Zhou Yulan. All the misunderstandings in the past separated us for many years, but thankfully the family is finally reunited now. From now on, she will be our Zhou family’s only daughter.”

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd downstairs.

"No wonder I heard that something big happened to the Zhou family."

“I’ve heard the news too. Apparently, someone switched Madam Zhou’s granddaughter, and she was only found yesterday.”

"Isn't Miss Zhou from the Zhou family Zhou Manyun? How is she now?"

"Now that Madam Zhou has clarified that Zhou Yulan is the Zhou family's biological granddaughter, Zhou Manyun has probably been kicked out of the Zhou family long ago."
