"I want to."
This time, Alang didn't hesitate.
Shen Qingqing smiled slightly, her eyes filled with relief, "Good, then listen to me, we'll make a long-term plan."
Alang hummed, then thought for a moment, and held her hand again. When she spoke again, there was a hint of closeness, "Sister... can I call you Sister?"
Her eyes held anticipation and trepidation.
She was afraid of rejection.
"Of course, I actually have a younger sister too," Shen Qingqing said softly.
"She must be a very good girl."
Alang felt that since Sister was so good, her sister must also be the best, most beautiful, and kindest girl in the world. Her face paled slightly.
Sister already has a sister, so am I redundant...
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she suddenly heard a slightly cold voice, "Unfortunately... she can't compare to you at all."
Alang was curious.
Shen Qingqing didn't want to say more. She didn't even want to think of that person. She only said, "In short, I'm very happy that you can be my sister. From now on, I will protect you."
"Sister..."
Alang was overjoyed, her little face flushed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the special medicine. If you have any requests, just tell me, I will cooperate!"
Now, in Alang's heart, no father was as important as Sister.
Shen Qingqing responded and hugged her affectionately, "Don't worry, Sister will snatch back everything that belongs to you, your status, your wealth... everything."
A hint of determination and coldness flashed in her eyes.
But more than that, it was pity for this girl.
Alang was frail and couldn't chat for long. She fell asleep after a short while. Looking at her sleeping face, Shen Qingqing smiled slightly, covered her with the quilt, and left silently.
As soon as she closed the door, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Shen."
Shen Qingqing turned back at the sound. It was Fan Hang, "Why are you here?"
Fan Hang walked over and instinctively reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, a gesture of warmth and casualness unique to people from Country H. Shen Qingqing subtly dodged to the side.
His hand, frozen in mid-air, drew an arc, and he touched his nose. Looking up, Shen Qingqing was already walking downstairs.
He quickly followed.
"Shen, I came to find you because I need your help with something."
"What is it, say it."
"It's about my engagement!"
Fan Hang had really had enough. He had tried to mention it to his family these past two days, but something had happened at home, and the family's project was at a critical stage of cooperation with the Feng family.
Breaking off the marriage was simply impossible.
"Didn't you tell them about Feng Yilian?"
"How could I say it?" Firstly, mentioning this matter would be very embarrassing. Even if he did, his family would have to believe him. Chairman Feng had already covered up everything that happened that day, making it impossible to speak of or investigate.
Seeing his ashen, as if he had eaten something foul, expression, Shen Qingqing knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're gloating!"
Fan Hang's eyes widened, his face full of accusation.
Shen Qingqing coughed lightly, suppressing a smile, "Alright, I'll help you, but we need to make a long-term plan. Don't rush. Chairman Feng is not easy to deal with; we can't be hasty."
She needed to formulate a detailed plan.
"Ok, then it's settled!"
With her assurance, Fan Hang felt relieved.
Suddenly, his gaze fell downstairs, "Isn't that King? Why does his complexion look so bad?"
Shen Qingqing looked back. It was indeed King.
When she first moved here, she had called King, but he seemed very busy at the time and hung up hastily. She hadn't even had time to ask where he had gone.
"What happened?"
She walked downstairs.
King walked towards her with a solemn expression, "He appeared."
Shen Qingqing's expression changed slightly, "Let's talk upstairs."
They walked upstairs one after another to the bedroom. The study was where her uncle stored important documents, and although she lived here, she had never entered it.
Entering the room, King sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, rubbing his tired forehead, "I received news of him before and personally went after him, but he still escaped. However, based on the clues left behind, it can be confirmed that it was him."
Shen Qingqing had heard of this person before.
He was King's archenemy. For many years, King had been engaged in a battle of wits and courage with him, but this person was very mysterious. He always acted in secret and never left any traces.
Why did he leave traces this time?
Shen Qingqing asked, and King curved his lips into a somewhat sarcastic smile, "Perhaps he realized I wasn't in Country H during this period, so he started to get arrogant."
His actions became bolder, and recently, many people had been poisoned.
The old man's workload had increased day by day.
Shen Qingqing frowned upon hearing this, "I went to see the old man today, and he didn't tell me."
"He doesn't want you to worry."
King's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy these past few days, losing weight and his lips were a little dry. Shen Qingqing poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of him.
"Since he has appeared, it's a good thing. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll help you."
King wiped his face and leaned lazily on the sofa, "I'm fine. This person has been fighting with me for so many years and doesn't dare to show his face, which shows he fears me. I'm more worried about you all."
"I'll be afraid of him?"
Shen Qingqing was actually quite eager to meet this person, who had fought with her teacher for so many years and stolen so many poisons from the old man to commit evil deeds...
King looked at her, not only unafraid but even looking forward to it, and felt gratified, "You are indeed bold."
"If I weren't bold, I wouldn't be able to be your disciple."
Shen Qingqing knew very well that the initial reason King agreed to take her as a disciple was her boldness and persistence.
Otherwise, with his seemingly carefree but actually picky nature, he would never have taken a liking to her.
King raised an eyebrow and smiled helplessly, "That's true. You're awake. I still have things to do, so I'll leave now. When do you plan to make a move on Chairman Feng's special medicine?"
"I will inform you when the time comes."
Shen Qingqing wasn't unwilling to say, but she wasn't sure yet.
King nodded slightly, stood up, and stretched, "Good, then I'll be going."
...
Chairman Feng had been in a terrible state recently, experiencing one vexation after another.
First, the company's project ran into trouble. The cooperation that had been agreed upon suddenly fell apart, and the fault lay with his own company. Therefore, he not only had to terminate the project but also pay liquidated damages.
Second was the quality inspection issue.
The quality inspection department suddenly came to inspect. They usually gave a heads-up before, but this time they came without a sound.
It caught him completely off guard.
He spent his days dealing with company matters and networking. He didn't even go home. After several investigations, he quickly found out who was targeting his company.
He gritted his teeth and made a call to Shen Qingqing.
"Let's talk."
