Chapter 1: Human Greed

  Sitting in a huge and old-fashioned office, Zhan Light Crazy kept flipping through the reports in his hand, thinking while looking.

  "Dong Dong"

  "Come in." His head didn't even lift, Warlight furrowed his brow.

  "Miss, I've found some clues about the case." A man in his forties, dressed in a fitting black suit, with neatly combed hair, respectfully and fearfully handed over the file bag on the table. Upon closer inspection, it's not hard to notice that there was a flash of kindness deep in the middle-aged man's eyes.

  "Oh?" He paused with his hands in mid-air, raised an eyebrow and picked up the file bag, leaning back in his chair.

  As he flipped through the documents in his hand, Zhan Liang's face grew increasingly unsightly. Finally, he let out a deep sigh and slammed the papers onto the desk, closing his eyes in agony.

  She let the butler investigate and found out that it was a year ago when she was kidnapped. Memories floated in front of her eyes, a year ago, she had just finished work at the company and was preparing to go home, but was surrounded by a group of people in the underground parking lot. Due to her physical condition, after a fight, she was still taken away. When she woke up, the pain in her lower abdomen reminded her of what had happened. Her three-month-old child was taken away from her alive. Before she could recover from the pain of losing her child, her beloved husband, Leng Feng, died under gunfire to save her. Although she was rescued later, the most important people in her life were gone. She felt hopeless and cold-hearted, but promised her grandfather that she would do it, otherwise, she really wanted to die with Leng Feng and their child. When they arrived at the hospital and treated her wounds, the doctor told her another shocking news: not only was her child taken away, but also her uterus was removed, and from then on, she lost the right to be a mother again. She would never hear the soft voice calling "mommy" again.

  She rubbed her sore head, and her eyes snapped open from the painful memories. She glanced at the information in front of her, and her anger continued to rise. She really hadn't expected that the one responsible for everything was her own older brother, Zhan Liangyang. She had suspected it all along - after all, who else could have known her route home from work? And who else could have arranged for someone to be waiting in the underground parking garage? Even if they were enemies, why not just kill her directly? Why use such extreme measures and kill her child instead? She vaguely understood, but... her brother was the only family she had left in this world. She really didn't want to suspect him. But today, with the evidence irrefutable, she no longer had any reason not to avenge Cold Wind and her child.

  With a loud "bang", the office door was kicked open and Zhan Liyang led a dozen or so people in.

  "What do you mean, young master?" The steward's face was cold, just about to stop him, when he was shot in the chest and stared at the sinister person in front of him, his eyes wide with shock until his death.

  "What? Not pretending anymore?" He put his feet on the office desk, leaning back in his chair with a look of utter disdain, as if he didn't take these people seriously at all.

  Zhan Qingyang couldn't stand her carefree and nonchalant attitude, making herself look like a clown. Just as she was about to rush forward impulsively, she seemed to think of something and walked up to her with a smile, meeting Zhan Qingkuang's gaze.

  "Sister, I don't know what you're talking about."

  "Oh? What's wrong, dare to do but not dare to admit it? Tsk tsk..." War Light shook his head and said regretfully.

  Zhan Liangyang's momentum was broken in an instant, he hated it most when others looked down on him, especially the sister in front of him. "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, do you think I'm a pitiful worm?"

  "Do you know, under the whole sky, I hate you the most. Obviously, I am the eldest son of the Jiang family, and I should inherit the family business, but why did the position of the patriarch have to be given to you? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled. Since childhood, Grandpa, Dad, and Mom all doted on you, you're a girl, I endured it. But why do you still want to compete with me for the Jiang family? What's wrong with marrying and having children honestly? After Dad and Mom left, Grandpa loved you even more, and gave this vast Jiang family to you. And what about me? Where did he put me? So, if you don't give it to me, I'll take it by force myself. I will destroy everything you cherish one by one. Do you know, Leng Feng was killed by my own hands, your belly was cut open by my own hands. You alone are not enough, how could I let you give birth to another monster like you? Yes, that's right, it was all done by me. Now, the entire Jiang family is in my hands, and only you are left. Tell me, what should I do with you? My dear sister?"

  Realizing that the situation was unfavorable, Zhan Qing suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up, walked around the table and approached him.

  "You want to fight me? You think you can?" He sneered, looking down his nose at War with a scornful laugh.

  "Don't look down on me, ah ~ you come at me, quick...” Zhan Qingyang commanded his subordinates, but he himself retreated to the door. His sister's skills were unmatched under heaven.

  At that moment, the office was filled with the sounds of paper shuffling, knives clashing, guns firing, and people shouting. War Light Crazy swiftly grabbed a pen from the desk and stabbed it into the throat of an approaching person, killing them instantly. With swift and deadly precision, he dodged behind the office desk, ripped off a corner of his skirt to bandage his injured arm, and hastily stopped the bleeding. Listening to the surrounding sounds of heavy breathing, War Light Crazy quickly analyzed the positions of everyone else - there were five more people left. He opened the drawer, grasped a small clip in his hand, took a deep breath, and sprang out, aiming at the vital points of each person. With a few loud thuds, the strong men fell to the ground one by one. All the commotion ceased, leaving only War Light Crazy's labored gasps for air and War Light Yang's tense teeth chattering with fear.

  "You... you don't... come over, don't come over..." Raised the gun in his hand, his legs kept trembling.

  Step by step, she walked towards the door, her mind a jumble of emotions - nostalgia, anger, hatred, and relief. She couldn't help but think of what her grandfather had said to her when he was critically ill.

  "Alright, Grandfather has entrusted the War Family to you, take good care of it."

  "But isn't there also an older brother?"

  "Your elder brother is not up to par, he's brave but lacks endurance, can't see things through from start to finish. If it were a small family business, it would be fine to let him take care of it, but this vast enterprise? Grandfather wouldn't feel at ease with that. You're different though, you've been clever since young, have both bravery and strategy, able to see the big picture... the one who should steer the ship of the War Family is none other than you, only you can make the War Family prosper. If only you were a boy, how wonderful that would be..."

  "Grandpa... Grandpa..."

  "You promised Grandfather to take good care of our family, cough... promise me!"

  "I promise, I promise..." Holding Grandpa's hand tightly, she nodded slightly to agree, looking at Grandpa's relieved smile, she knew how heavy the burden on her shoulders was.

  Suddenly, his legs went soft and he fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Haha, you lost, you lost... Finally one day, I got you under my hand..." Zhan Qingyang laughed loudly with his head thrown back.

  The pain from the internal organs, and the blood flowing out of the corner of my mouth. I wiped it off lightly with a towel, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It must be because of those documents in that file! So they really went all out to deal with her, huh?

  "You're suffering, aren't you? You're in agony! Do you know that I've been living like this every day for years? But everything is over now. As long as you disappear, everything will be mine. Tomorrow, all the media will report that the War family's heir was killed by the Ou family in a fire, and no one will suspect me. At that time, I will become the rightful heir. So don't blame me, go die! " He put away the gun, poured the gasoline he had prepared at the door around him, sneered at his sister who was lying on the ground unable to move, picked up the lighter and threw it into the house."

  "Stupid fool... Hehe..." The hair covered the side of his face, and the arsonist didn't see the hidden cold smile.

  With a "whoosh", Zhang Kuang turned the pen in his hand into a hidden weapon, shooting it into his spine. All that could be heard was a cracking sound, and Zhang Liang's shocked face turned back, unwillingly looking at the crazy woman.

  "First, the War family's motto is to never turn your back on the enemy; second, you know my methods, yet you still underestimated me; third... are you stupid?!" Upon hearing this, War lightly closed his eyes, dying with a hint of resentment. Ah, how could he have underestimated this person?! Regretting it now!

  Finally avenged, Zhan Qing felt that she had done justice to the deceased Leng Feng and the child, but what about Grandfather's entrustment, what should the Zhan family do?

  She picked up the phone and dialed a number, she had to find someone to replace her position for the war family.

  "Hey... I'm telling you, Crazy Sister, you're so idle, have time to call me?" The voice on the phone sounded so playful and mischievous.

  "War light wind, good things find you, cough..."

  "Something good happens, you think of me? I don't believe it."

  "Alright, cough... I'm leaving... the Zhang family in your hands... from today on, you... are the master of the Zhang family..."

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

  "Fight lightly, don't let me down."

  "Hey, hey, what's going on? You sound like you're making a will or something. Don't scare me, where are you right now?" A loud rustling noise came from the phone, followed by the sound of a door slamming shut.

  She hung up the phone, and the flames around her made her cough uncontrollably. She struggled to walk to the safe, put the pliers in it, and leaned against the wall corner, staring at the chandelier above her head. Her wish had been fulfilled, and she felt tired too. Zhan Liangfeng was the son of Third Uncle, although he was mischievous, but his abilities and means were not inferior to hers. Handing over the Zhan family to him would also be worthy of Grandfather.

  A loud bang was heard and the entire floor exploded in a massive blast, with thick smoke billowing out and pedestrians rushing to escape.

  When Zhan Qingfeng arrived, the scene was chaotic. Looking at the floor where the explosion occurred, he stared with wide eyes. That was the floor where Zhan Qingcang was located. How could this be?

  Firefighters, traffic police, patrolmen, policemen, pedestrians' cries and shouts, a noisy scene, he thought he was dreaming. Until someone handed him the safe, he believed it was real, and the phone call just now was also true.

  "Master Feng, apart from a dozen or so corpses at the scene, only this safe is left."

  Zhan Light Wind took over, his body shook slightly, he had seen it in her office, a new metal-made one from X country, only three in the world.

  Back in the car, after trying several times, he finally opened it. A thick stack of confidential files was neatly placed inside, with a family heirloom ring on top that could only be removed when a new generation took over. Looking out of the car window, he saw one by one charred corpses being carried out, his eyes turned red. Was this how the magnificent and talented War Light Crazy ended? Did he die so miserably?
