In a high-class apartment in Hu City.

“Did she still give birth to the child?” The woman sitting on the sofa flipped through the album in her hand with a hint of impatience in her eyes.

“Of course, there’s a powerful person in the fifth master’s household. If it weren’t for that little girl, I’m afraid that child wouldn’t have been born today,” the man sitting opposite the woman said softly.

“Si Ming, it seems that your idea is useless. Now, the Fifth Master’s family is getting more and more difficult to deal with.” The man gently twirled the pen in his hand, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

The woman sitting opposite him was called Si Ming. She was about 30 to 40 years old. Her long black hair was tied up with a hairpin. She was wearing a black qipao that wrapped around her graceful figure, giving her a faint aura of chasteness.

The man sitting opposite her looked younger. Two strands of his hair were dyed white, and his thin eyes flickered with a shrewd light.

“Third Aunt, you don’t really think that Fifth Master is made of paper, do you?” the man dragged out his voice and called her “third aunt” in a tactful tone.

“Of course not, but I don’t want to see them being so arrogant. How can 1 not dampen their spirits? Do they really think that they can’t ignore the other families just because they have the old lady’s support?” Si Ming put down the wine glass and gently rubbed her red nails. A vicious glint flashed across her eyes.

Si Ming was the current wife of the Third Master’s family.

The Third Master married Si Ming in his 50s and passed away not long after that. Now, she also presided over the Fifth Master’s family.

Her background was not very good, but she was very resourceful. Although the children of the Fifth Master’s family were all about the same age as her, they were all submissively controlled by her.

The person opposite her was called Tong Sheng. He was the youngest son of the Tong family’s Second Master and was also the child that the First Master’s family valued the most.

The Second and Third Masters’ households were currently openly at odds with the Fifth Master’s family.

Tong Xin’s previous incident was also planned by the two of them.

“We definitely can’t beat Fifth Master in business, but it’s not impossible to use other methods to stir things up for him.” The woman flipped through the documents in her hands. “This time, it was Tong Xin. Next time, it will be someone else. He hid Tong Yao in Haicheng for so long. It’s time for us to teach them a lesson.”

“Speaking of which, I remember that we sent someone to test that child last year, but someone else stopped them.” Tong Sheng frowned. He still remembered that time when the few elites he sent were all subdued by that seemingly weak girl.

“That girl is none other than the doctor who saved Tong Xin this time.” Tong Sheng said, “Furthermore, the technique she used is a technique called Golden Needle Acupuncture. It has long been lost. She said that she is Grandmaster Crane’s disciple, but Grandmaster Crane himself does not know how to use that technique.”

This kind of technique only existed in the past medical books, and many years had passed without it reappearing in the world.

Even though Grandmaster Crane knew many medical skills that young doctors didn’t, he was still unaware of this lost technique.

“It seems that this girl is indeed not simple.” Si Ming picked up the wine glass on the table. “We do need to investigate this properly.”

“Fifth Uncle has probably been looking for trouble with me recently. After all, I was the one who brought that woman there.” Tong Sheng shrugged. “What a pity. It would be great if that woman died.”

It was clearly a matter of life and death, but he made it sound as simple as eating and drinking.

The Second and Third Masters’ families had done all kinds of bad things in the past two years and had long lost their basic moral values.

“Don’t forget to tell me when you find out who that girl is. I think we’ll have a lot of time to confront her in the future,” Si Ming sneered.

Tong Sheng didn’t turn around. He just waved his hand and closed the door.

Si Ming looked at the closed door and rolled her eyes gently.

In a parking lot in Haicheng, Zhong Nian was shivering at the foot of the mountain in his down jacket.

The holidays had just passed, and it was still a little cold in Haicheng. However, compared to attending to the baby in the ward, he chose to come out and accompany Guo Miao to suffer the cold.

“No, we’re in this kind of venue. Isn’t this a pure jungling competition?” Zhong Nian trembled as he asked, “Even a legendary master is also here for the jungle competition?”

Tong Yao, on the other hand, kept his mouth tightly shut as he looked at the empty track in front of him.

Of course, this kind of competition could only be held in the jungle..
