Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

Summer vacation arrived quickly, which Xia Tingwan found strange.

Besides her, Yu Jiuxiong and Ning Yi were also among those who went to the Nanfeng Smart Brain Lab for exchanges and learning over the years.

For some reason, there were two unfamiliar faces this year.

Xia Tingwan asked her classmates and found out that Yu Jiuxiong and Ning Yi had returned to the capital.

The Yu family, Ning family, and Xia family have always been competitors.

If Xia Mingcheng dies, a rift will appear in the Xia family.

This is a good opportunity for the Yu and Ning families to gradually erode their strength.

So they received messages from home almost simultaneously: forget about Lu Xizhou, you can't persuade him anyway, go home first.

Going home was, of course, to clench one's fists and prepare to snatch a piece of meat from the Xia family.

Yu Jiuxiong and Ning Yi both understood.

As for academics, it's actually quite simple.

A university in Beijing initiated an exchange program with Donghai University.

The project was open for applications, but after layers of screening, only the two of them actually met the requirements.

They can legitimately go to Beijing for exchange studies without delaying their diplomas.

The summer exchange programs over the past two years have given Xia Tingwan a fairly good understanding of these two young masters from Beijing.

They are elite children raised by large families.

Although she is somewhat fickle, she is undoubtedly outstanding in other aspects.

They are very persistent and not the type to give up halfway.

She keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Something has likely happened in the capital.

But then she thought, what does it have to do with her?

She was just an ordinary college student living in Donghai, with a boyfriend who loved her.

There is a house that is gradually becoming more intelligent.

In another year, she will graduate from university, and then they can get married.

She likes flowers, so she'll ask him to decorate the room with more flowers.

Princess Miyuki would be the best.

Then the two of them, dressed as the bride and groom, can have a meal together.

No matter how big the storm in the capital, it won't reach her.

She shook her head, banishing those chaotic thoughts, and continued coding.

Lin Jianshen has been on a cruise ship recently.

His "doing things" naturally meant that a fish had taken the bait.

This is a rare big order, and he's personally handling it; he won't be back for several days.

So Xia Tingwan has been home alone these past few days.

The summer exchange program she participated in mainly focused on learning and talent development, and the workload was not heavy.

She has a lot of free time.

But she didn't feel empty.

Because she has too many things to do.

In addition to trying to build her own AI, she also practices dancing at home.

You can dance for him when he comes back.

In addition, she also learns various musical instruments to cultivate her character.

She wants to become better.

She practiced the violin a while ago.

Unfortunately, Lin Jianshen didn't seem to appreciate this—every time she played the violin, he would pretend to listen attentively, but his eyes would be vacant, and he seemed lost in thought.

After she finished playing, she asked him if it sounded good, and he would always say "it sounded good," but his tone was clearly that of someone coaxing a child.

But he really enjoys listening to the guzheng.

Once, while scrolling through his phone, he came across a video of a guzheng performance and nodded repeatedly, saying, "This sounds beautiful."

So Xia Tingwan bought some online courses these past few days to prepare for practicing the guzheng and then taking the grade exam.

Lin Jianshen had already promised her that he would give her a guzheng as a gift when he returned from the ship.

She got a little tired from coding, so she put down her computer, stood up, and stretched.

The T-shirt rode up a little, revealing her belly button.

She tugged at her clothes to cover herself, humming a song, and picked up the mop to mop the floor.

The new house has white marble floors that shine so brightly you can see your reflection in them after mopping.

She looked at her blurry reflection on the floor and felt good.

Judging by the time, Lin Jianshen should be back soon.

"Ding-dong."

Doorbell rang.

Xia Tingwan straightened up, looking somewhat puzzled.

They chose a smart door lock that can recognize Lin Jianshen's face and fingerprints.

He doesn't need to ring the doorbell when he gets home.

No one else knows about this place.

She placed the mop against the wall, walked to the door, and peeked out through the peephole.

A person in a property management uniform was standing outside.

She asked, "Is something the matter?"

The property management staff said, "Oh, the gas company said they need to update the gas alarm system. We've come to check if your system needs to be replaced."

Xia Tingwan opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a hand reached out from the side and braced itself against it.

A man in his fifties walked over from the side.

His temples were slightly gray, his face was thin, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, and his nose was straight.

He must have been very handsome when he was young.

Now that he's older, he has developed a composed demeanor that comes with long-standing authority, and his charm remains undiminished.

He was wearing a dark gray shirt with the cuffs rolled up, revealing a section of his slender forearm.

He wore a watch on his wrist; its heavy, substantial weight suggested it was quite valuable.

Besides the bodyguard holding the door open, there was another bodyguard standing behind him, carrying a briefcase.

Both men had bulges at their waists, which, judging from their shape, were likely daggers.

Xia Tingwan took a step back: "I don't care who you are, leave my house immediately. Otherwise, I'll call the police."

The man looked at her.

That gaze was complex, carrying a sense of scrutiny, observation, and evaluation.

A few seconds later, he looked away and smiled gently: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Wenshan. I am your biological father."

Xia Tingwan was taken aback.

Xia Wenshan's voice carried the composure of someone long accustomed to a position of power: "Your mother, Gu Qingyin, should have mentioned me to you."

Mentioning Gu Qingyin caused Xia Tingwan's mind to go blank for a moment before returning to normal.

Xia Wenshan stretched out his hand, and the bodyguard behind him took a document out of his briefcase and placed it in his hand.

He tapped the document on the palm of his other hand and said, "If you don't believe me, I can show you the certificate of authenticity."

He spoke with a perfect Beijing accent.

There was actually no need to look at that document, because Xia Tingwan could see some of her own reflection in him.

There must be a blood relationship between them.

Xia Tingwan's mind raced: her father, whom she had never seen before, had suddenly appeared before her.

Of course, it wasn't to make amends, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so forcefully.

Bodyguards wouldn't be the type to resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

So it's likely that her daughter, for some reason, became valuable to him.

He had no fatherly affection for her, only scheming and exploitation.

In fact, Xia Tingwan had already guessed that she had no room to resist.

However, according to the principles of game theory, the more information you have, the more initiative you can gain.

Therefore, she had no choice but to speak at this moment.

You can get more information by talking.

She met his gaze and said, "I don't care who you are, this is my home, please leave."

"Don't bother me."

Xia Wenshan suddenly smiled, his smile quite refined: "You have a boyfriend named Lin Jianshen."

"He's an actor who used to work as a debt collector."

"I have a video of him beating people while collecting debts. Would you like to see it?"

Xia Tingwan lowered her head, analyzing in her mind: "His investigation was very comprehensive and in-depth."

"Logically speaking, Lin Jianshen and Sun Hao Group were in the honeymoon period of their cooperation, so the video of the beating should not have been leaked."

"Unless this person is Sun Hao's superior, or has comparable strength, then Sun Hao will obey his orders."

Xia Tingwan looked up again, feigning nonchalance: "Do you know who my boyfriend hangs out with?"

"You dare mess with him?"

Xia Wenshan sneered: "Sun Hao is nothing more than a dog kept by our Xia family."

"Come back to the Xia family with me, you can whip him all you want."

The hypothesis was confirmed.

Xia Tingwan gritted her teeth: "What do you want to do?"

Xia Wenshan said, "Now you have a general understanding of our family's strength."

"So you'd better cooperate with me."

Xia Tingwan asked, "What if I don't cooperate?"

Xia Wenshan said, "It's very simple, I'm not a kind person either."

"Your boyfriend will disappear without a trace, and then you'll still have to come back with me."

"I don't want things to get ugly between father and daughter, so I advise you to be obedient. If you do, you'll be rewarded."
