On Sunday morning, Qiu Yizhen was playing a game with her two lackeys at her home.
The game ‘Zerg Invasion’ that had been quite popular recently was rather fun to play. The three of them were incredibly entertained.
Suddenly, the door of the room was violently thrown open. The three of them that had been previously concentrating on the game were spooked by the loud bang.
When the two lackeys saw that the person who opened the door was Qiu Liyao, they immediately went silent. In fact, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Qiu Yizhen also looked at her father nervously.
“Father, what are you doing? We’re just playing a video game. Why are you acting so angry?”
As soon as Qiu Yizhen finished speaking, Qiu Liyao stormed up to her and slapped his daughter across the face.
This time, he used even more force than before. His slap caused the corner of Qiu Yizhen’s mouth to start bleeding.
However, Qiu Yizhen was quite confused. She didn’t know the reason behind this slap.
“You’re ruining the reputation of our family! You’re honestly a disgrace! Ahhh. What did I even do in my past life to give birth to a daughter like you?” Qiu Liyao shouted as he brandished a finger at Qiu Yizhen. He was incredibly furious.
Qiu Yizhen finally came back to her senses after a while, “What are you doing? Why are you hitting me again? You should at least give me a reason for this! What did I even do?”
“You dare to ask me what you’ve done?!”
“Why would I not dare to ask? You have to give me a reason if you’re going to hit me!”
“Look at all the stupid things you’ve done on a day to day basis. Do you know how much pressure I’m facing right now?”
Qiu Liyao was already in a hot mess.
What could he do in such a situation?
As he worried about the mess that he had to deal with, his phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the incoming number, he immediately picked up the phone. The voice from the other end made Qiu Liyao even more nervous:
“Master Sheng… About this matter… It’s my daughter’s fault! It’s her fault entirely! I promise I’ll make sure to teach her a lesson!”
Qiu Liyao frantically apologized to the person on the other end of the call.
He nodded and agreed to everything the other party said. His attitude had completely changed from when he had been yelling at his daughter.
After a while, Qiu Liyao hung up the phone call. Immediately afterward, he slapped Qiu Yizhen in the face again.
“Oh my god. You’re actually a disgrace to the family! You’re going to be the reason behind my death! In a while, Master Sheng and the others will come over here. What do you even plan to do?”
“Father, what are you talking about? Master Sheng? Why would he come over here?”
Qiu Yizhen looked at her father in confusion. She didn’t know what was going on.
She had never met Zhai Yunsheng before. In fact, she’s only heard of his name.
Furthermore, she heard that Ji Ming had been tortured to near death by Master Sheng.
In fact, there were countless rumors of Master Sheng torturing people to near death.
Either way, no one dared to offend Master Sheng! Anyone who offended him didn’t have a good outcome.
“Why are you asking?!” Qiu Liyao yelled. He shoved his finger against Qiu Yizhen’s temple before he continued, “I really want to know what’s inside of your brain. Is it cotton or is it dog feces?! Why do you always mess with Jian Yiling?”
“I…” Upon hearing this, Qiu Yizhen’s face went pale. “There’s no way… I did everything very secretively this time. There’s no way she could have known about this… Furthermore, I didn’t do it directly to her! I targeted the parvenu’s daughter!”

In Qiu Yizhen’s calculations, after Hu Jiaojiao had gotten scared, she should have stayed far away from Jian Yiling. It was impossible for Hu Jiaojiao to tell Jian Yiling what had happened.
Furthermore, even if she told Jian Yiling what had happened, Jian Yiling could only interrogate the thugs who had accepted her offer on the dark web. There was no way that she could trace the incident back to her!
She hadn’t even been in direct contact with those thugs this time!
