The man left. He didn’t even leave his na, only contact info with just line:

"If you ever need any help. Contact this number. I owe you a favor, and I will repay it."

There was also so rare black card and so gold bars on the table.

When Gu Jin checked the amount in the black card, she was shocked.

20 billion yuan!

Along with the gold bars, the amount reached 30 billion yuan.

She had invested that amount in her business.

In the past 10 days, the man mostly rested, at least in front of her.

He wasn’t interested in talking with Gu Jin, and knowing her.

With the amount left by him, Gu Jin understood that his background might not be as simple as it seed earlier.

..........

Back in the present, Gu Jin sighed and said.

"I need all the dirty work committed by so people. Quietly."

The line on the other end was silent for a while before a chuckle ca,

"Sure. Just tell the nas, and I will tell you the details."

Gu Jin nodded,

"Alright. Their nas are..."

After she had said the nas, the man hung up the call. Gu Jin leaned back in her chair, her expression calm but serious.

"Since you touched my family..." she whispered, "I’ll make sure you regret it."

Within just 1 hour, Gu Jin got all the dirty deeds committed by the Wei Family and chuckled coldly,

"Ti to settle the scores."

With that, Gu Jin stood up and went to the Wei residence.

......................

The Wei Residence was huge, with tall gates and guards everywhere. But Gu Jin didn’t stop. She walked straight to the gate, her steps steady and calm.

The guards tried to stop her.

"Miss, you can’t just—"

"Go and inform your master, Gu Jin wants to et them." Gu Jin said.

The Wei family attacked her family, and it was clear that they had a goal in mind.

The guard’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard the na.

The head butler had asked him to let a woman nad Gu Jin in, and if she cos and asked him to inform Wei Shiming too.

He took his phone and ssaged Wei Shiming about Gu Jin’s arrival and also opened the door for Gu Jin.

One of the guards bowed quickly. "S-Sorry, Miss Gu. Please co in."

She walked in without looking at them. Her eyes were cold. She had no ti for useless people.

Inside the main hall, the Wei family elders and Wei Shiming were drinking tea. Wei Lin was there too, smiling and acting relaxed.

When Gu Jin stepped into the hall, the room went quiet.

Wei Shiming looked up with a calm smile. "Miss Gu. What a surprise."

Gu Jin didn’t sit. She stood straight, her cold eyes scanning the room.

"I’m not here for tea."

Wei Lin stood and gave a fake laugh. "No need to be so serious. You’re always welco here."

Gu Jin ignored him.

Her eyes locked onto Wei Shiming. "You ssed with my family."

Wei Shiming sipped his tea slowly. "I don’t know what you an."

Gu Jin took out a file from her storage ring and threw it on the table.

Thud.

Everyone stared as the thick file landed in front of Wei Shiming.

He opened it—and his hand paused.

Inside were photos, docunts, and records of the Wei family’s shady deals. Bribery. Threats. Illegal experints. Suppressed competitors.

Gu Jin’s voice was calm but sharp like a blade. "I have enough to destroy your reputation. You think I’m weak? That I’ll cry if you touch my family?"

She leaned forward, her eyes burning.

"You want to depend on you? You want to trap ? Then you better try harder."

Wei Lin’s face turned pale. "How do you have this?!"

Gu Jin glanced at him, unimpressed. "You’re not very careful. Or smart."

Wei Shiming frowned. "What do you want?"

Gu Jin crossed her arms.

"An apology. Public. From you, not your people. And compensation to the Gu family."

Wei Shiming chuckled coldly. "You think you can threaten in my own house?"

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. "You think this is a threat? No. This is rcy."

She took out a small black cube from her pocket and pressed a button. A hologram appeared mid-air, showing a recording of Wei Shiming talking to his n—ordering them to block the Gu family’s funding.

Then, a video of him bribing a higher authority to lock one of the Gu family mbers up was displayed.

Wei Shiming’s expression froze.

Gu Jin’s voice was ice. "One word from , and this goes viral."

The elders looked at each other, nervous. Wei Lin looked like he wanted to crawl under the table.

Wei Shiming stayed silent for a few seconds, then sighed.

"What do you want for the original copy?"

Gu Jin smiled slightly. "I already told you. An apology. And money."

"How much?"

"100 billion yuan."

Wei Lin choked. "What?! That’s robbery!"

Gu Jin turned her cold gaze to him. "You tried to destroy my family. 100 billion is cheap."

Wei Shiming’s jaw clenched. He hated this. But he also knew—if the video got out, the damage would be worse.

After a long silence, he finally said,

"How about this? You let my family go and return I will let you marry my son Wei Lin. He would listen to you every ti and never dare to look at anyone else."

Gu Jin looked at Wei Shiming like he had just told the dumbest joke ever.

"Marry Wei Lin?" she repeated, her voice flat.

Wei Lin tried to smile. "I an... I’m not that bad, right?"

Gu Jin didn’t even look at him.

"You tried to ruin my family, and now you think I’ll marry into your family like nothing happened? Are you dreaming?"

Wei Shiming’s eyes narrowed.

"It’s a good deal. You’ll beco part of the Wei family. We’ll support your business. Protect your people."

Gu Jin laughed. Cold and sharp.

"I don’t need your protection. I already have soone stronger watching my back. And guess what? He doesn’t ask to sell myself for it."

Wei Lin’s face turned red. "I-I’m not that bad! If you just gave a chance—"

"Shut up," Gu Jin said calmly.

Wei Lin flinched and stepped back like she had slapped him.

Gu Jin looked at Wei Shiming again.

"I’m not giving you the original copy. You will pay the 100 billion and issue the apology. Or I press send, and your little empire burns."

Wei Shiming’s face turned dark.

"You think you’ve won?"

Gu Jin walked closer, her voice low.

"I don’t think. I know."

She pulled out her phone and showed him the screen. The video was already loaded, ready to go viral with one tap.

Wei Shiming stared at it, fists clenched. The elders whispered among themselves, clearly panicking.

Finally, he sighed.

"Fine. I’ll do it."

Gu Jin nodded. "Smart choice."

She turned to leave, but before she walked out, she glanced back at Wei Lin.

"Oh, and one more thing."

Wei Lin looked up, hopeful.

"If you ever try to co near again, I won’t just destroy your family’s na."

Her eyes turned cold.

"I’ll bury it."

Then she walked out, her steps steady and powerful, like a queen leaving a courtroom.

The hall was silent.

Wei Lin sat down slowly, looking like he was about to cry.

Wei Shiming stared at the floor.

One elder whispered, "We... we ssed with the wrong person."

Wei Shiming gritted his teeth and said with a dark face,

"This Gu Jin...she is a threat to us! We either need to eliminate her or get hold of sothing dirty committed by her."

Wei Lin frowned. "Father, we had already tried to find her weakness, but other than her family, we didn’t find any of her weaknesses."

Wei Shiming growled, his fist clenched as he announced,

"If she doesn’t have any weaknesses, then we will create one for her."

"Father...please calm down. Don’t think of extre asures!" Wei Lin said he was scared that Wei Shiming would use the entire Wei family to hold the Gu Family hostage.

As if sensing what Wei Lin was thinking, Wei Shiming slapped Wei Lin’s head and said,

"You are too innocent. I am talking about you. As long as you sleep with Gu jin and record everything, we can threaten her with the video."

Wei Lin’s face turned pale.

"W-What?!" he shouted. "Father, are you crazy? She would kill !"

Wei Shiming narrowed his eyes.

"So what if she tries? As long as we get the video, she’s finished. She’ll lose her reputation. No one will believe her after that.

And if we play our cards right, then we can also claim that you ranked 2nd every ti because you wanted her to rank first."

Wei Lin backed away, shaking his head.

"No! She’s not so normal girl! She’s scary! I—I can’t do that!"

One of the elders sighed and said,

"Lin’er, this is for the family. Sotis, you have to sacrifice things."
