"THE PARADOX OF VENGEFULNESS IS THAT IT MAKES MEN DEPENDENT UPON THOSE WHO HAVE HARMED THEM, BELIEVING THAT THEIR RELEASE FROM PAIN WILL COME ONLY WHEN THEIR TORMENTORS SUFFER."
Xin Residence
A certain middle-aged man was playing a mesmerizing melody on Guzheng when he was interrupted by his assistant. The melody sounded like immortals were singing and dancing in a symphony. Master Xin Yichen, the current head of the Xin family was a prodigy in many musical instruments, and Guzheng was one of them. Just because Xins were associated with Black Market did not mean they did not cultivate any positive talent.
"Master," Cao Kung said and bowed. Xin Yichen detest when someone disturbed him while playing any musical instrument. But if there was an emergency like Matters involving his beloved daughter, he had to be the first to inform. Xin Yichen's love for Xin zhenyi knew no limits. If he was the heart She would be his heartbeat.
Xin Yichen straightened his back and gestured for him to continue while holding the instrument.
"Young Miss was nearly attacked by her new driver. According to our investigation, he was bribed by the Bai family to obtain information about her. But the case is not so simple" Cao Kung narrated the contents of the investigation report.
" Master it seems that their goal was not to hurt Young miss. If the driver was expected to hurt young miss he would have done it effortlessly. They just wanted the information on the young miss.", Cao Kung added after speculating the entire situation.
" Indeed the enemy is desperate. He has been playing hide and seek for years. Increase security around her" Xin Yichen ordered his subordinates. The antagonist of the drama had always been a peculiar figure his hate for Xins knew no end. His wife had been assassinated by the same enemy.
Xin Yichen had waited for years for vengeance. He knew if he wished to avenge his dead wife he had to maintain his composure and wait for the enemy to come out of the shadows.
"Master Could Longs be after the incident? The information that we sent was limited. Long Jie definitely wished to know the type of person he was going to marry. He is the planner and we should not forget that he's not like his father" Cao Kung said. His master was really petty when it came to his daughter. When he saw the information, his master wanted to reveal about young miss he was astonished.
Xin Yichen knew what his assistant was thinking. He agreed that he was being petty by letting out only the insignificant information about his beloved daughter but she was a Xin and to let her live a safe and free life he blocked everything about her.
"No. She is going to be one of them soon and they will never acquire these methods. Long Shaoming would never approve and Long Jie can't refuse because he is not the head yet'' Xin yichen answered certainly. He was certain neither longs nor Bai's were directly associated with the incident.
" Where is she?"
" Master she will be here in a few minutes"
" What's her attitude on the marriage contract with longs," he asked his assistant. He knew she would never agree but this wedding was going to happen by hook or by crook. But deep down he knew he would never be able to force her. And this was where his father would come in useful. His daughter would never be able to say no to her grandfather no matter how adamant or stubborn she was.
" She sure loathes Longs and Long Jie is no exception "Cao Kung replied to his master.
This daughter of his was always an anomaly. If she loathes something she would loathe it as if her whole life relied on it without caring for details and if she put her mind on something, it was next to impossible to alter her mind.
It seemed that he had to work hard to make his daughter concede to this Marriage Arrangement.
He seemed like a brute forcing her daughter to marry someone she didn't even like but it was the only option he had right now. And someone very close to him said that it was the right thing to do.
Xin Yichen had no idea if it was the right thing to do or not but for now, it was the only thing to do because the only way they could defeat this unknown enemy is by joining hands with Longs.
It wouldn't be the first time they would be close to Longs.
His beloved wife was too close to the Long family once upon a time. He wondered what would she do if she found out he was forcing their precious child to marry Long Jie?
Would she be happy or go on a killing spree in a fit of anger?
