In the morgue, Chu Jin, wrapped in a coat, silently walked in, followed by two police officers and a forensic doctor.

There was a silhouette covered with a white cloth lying on the table. She didn't need to get close to know that it must be Old Chu.

Although she wasn't familiar with this old man, he had tried to blacklist her while he was alive and even wanted to leave his estate to his illegitimate son...

But she still felt a little sad.

The forensic doctor, wearing white gloves, slowly lifted a corner of the white cloth. Chu Jin frowned slightly, glanced at it, and then gestured for the forensic doctor to cover it up again.

...How should I put it, it doesn't look very presentable.

This makeup is way too heavy; the makeup artist's skills are terrible.

No, Lao Chu, did you have to die so undignifiedly? You were the former richest man in China, your status in the business world is undeniable, how come your funeral looks like you were thrown from the seventh or eighth floor?

She took a step back, and the officer next to her thought she was about to cry.

Chu Jin: "I've confirmed it, this is my dad."

Police officer: "...Okay."

After recognizing the person and signing the formalities, Chu Jin stood in the corridor and let out a long breath.

Lu Jingxiu waited at the door. When she came out, he didn't rush to ask her anything, but first handed her a hand warmer.

"Confirmed, it's Old Chu," Chu Jin said calmly, looking down at the hand warmer in her hand. "His expression was pretty bad when he left, it was really awful..."

"I don't even know which eye to look at him with more respect."

Lu Jingxiu paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you alright?"

Chu Jin sighed deeply, rubbing her hands together with a hand warmer, her face full of emotion: "Lu Jingxiu, although I don't have much of a relationship with Lao Chu, I was thinking about something while I was inside."

Lu Jingxiu looked at her: "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Jin grabbed Lu Jingxiu's arm, and the two walked a few steps outside until they reached the street.

Chu Jin felt the cold wind blow on her before she spoke: "I was thinking... with Old Chu gone, the Chu Group and those hundreds of billions will all be mine."

Lu Jingxiu: "...Filial piety."

Chu Jin said matter-of-factly, "People can't live solely in their emotions. We should cherish what we should cherish and inherit what we should inherit. There's no conflict between the two, is there?"

She paused, then added:

"Money doesn't matter. The main thing is that I'm a traditional person and I can't let the Chu family's lineage and business fall into the hands of outsiders, especially that Chu Nian who appeared out of nowhere."

Lu Jingxiu hummed in agreement: "So, the procedures will begin tomorrow?"

Chu Jin nodded, the slight gloom from before no longer visible on her face: "There are quite a few procedures, but I don't need to worry about them. I can leave everything to my legal team."

As she spoke, she became excited: "Lu Jingxiu, do you know what? I now understand why some people get so excited when they hear about inheriting billions of dollars."

"Because it's really awesome."

Lu Jingxiu glanced at her: "Weren't you quite disgusted with the morgue just now?"

Chu Jin waved her hand: "A body is a body, and a billion is a billion. Let's keep things separate."

"He's gone, do you expect me to hold him and cry? At most, I'll burn him the latest business magazine every year during Qingming Festival to tell him that the company is still in my hands and hasn't gone bankrupt. That's more than enough."

She suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is Chu Nian now?"

Lu Jingxiu thought for a moment: "He has already been sent to prison by Captain Wang on suspicion of forging a will. Now that Old Chu's body has been found, it can be filed as a murder case. Chu Nian is now a major suspect."

"I reckon they're most likely not going to get out."

Chu Jin glanced at Lu Jingxiu and curled up her lips: "As expected of Young Master Lu, I'd better hurry up."

"In the past two days, I've had the company prepare all the necessary materials so that we can quickly inherit Old Chu's share of the stock while Chu Nian is still being held hostage."

"Once the handover is complete, I will be the rightful and sole heir, and then no one will be able to overturn the situation."

"Okay," Lu Jingxiu nodded slightly, "I'll have someone give you the green light."

Chu Jin tilted her head to look at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and leaned forward: "Well, now that the green light is on, could you also help me process the business registration change? I'm in a hurry to inherit billions."

Lu Jingxiu chuckled: "Don't be too greedy. Procedures and processes are essential."

Chu Jin said matter-of-factly, "Who wouldn't be greedy when faced with billions?"

Lu Jingxiu remained noncommittal. He suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "By the way, I've already had Miao Miaomiao rescued. She's currently being cared for by Captain Wang and is safe for now."

He paused, his gaze returning to Chu Jin's face: "Do you remember the plan I told you about last time? Get ready, I'm going to invite Mo Yan over."

Chu Jin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded: "Okay, no problem, I'm ready to cooperate anytime."

The two walked in silence. After a moment, Chu Jin looked up at the gray-blue sky in the distance, and her voice softened:

"This is the only big problem left."

Her profile looked somewhat thin in the cold wind, and the stray hairs by her ears swayed in the breeze.

After a long silence, she asked in a very soft voice, "Lu Jingxiu, do you think that once we resolve Mo Yan's matter, we can live peacefully in this city?"

"able."

……

Hong Zhan had already left home at 5:30 in the morning.

I've been so busy lately, especially with the search for the gray market. We're about to close the net; it's a huge case, and we have to keep a close eye on it.

He yawned in the car, slowed down, and thought about having another meeting today to have his subordinates summarize the deployment situation in Xunhui City again.

I have to go to a meeting at the provincial department this morning. Director Xue is taking this case very seriously, and the ministry has also sent people down, who should arrive this morning.

As soon as the car turned onto the street where the municipal bureau was located, he felt that something was wrong.

A large truck was parked across the gate of the municipal bureau compound, blocking the entire driveway into the compound.

The truck's license plate is from Bac Giang Province.

Hong Zhan frowned and subconsciously pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Just then, he saw seven or eight men in black jackets jump out from behind the truck.

They were all very quick and efficient, and they were all wearing masks and sunglasses, so their faces were not visible.

They carried two large wooden crates out of the carriage, huffing and puffing as they moved them to the outside of the city bureau's gate, put them on the ground, and straightened them out.

Without even catching his breath, he turned around and quickly climbed onto the back of the truck.

The auxiliary police officer in the guardhouse realized what was happening and rushed out, baton in hand, shouting at the top of his lungs as he ran:

"What are you doing! Hey! What are you doing! Didn't you hear me? Move the box! This is the entrance to the Municipal Public Security Bureau! You can't just leave things here!"

But the group of men in black jackets seemed to have gone deaf. They stepped on the gas, the diesel engine roared, and the truck shot off, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Then the assistant frowned as he looked at the two large wooden boxes, thought for a while, and went to the police station to report.

As Hong Zhan sat in the car, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

What's going on here?

Someone drove a truck to the city police station in broad daylight, dropped off two large boxes nailed tightly together with wooden strips, and then sped away.

What he wants to figure out most right now is what exactly is in the box.

What if it's not something good?

To put it bluntly, could this be a bomb?

This group of people shoved the thing right at the entrance of the municipal bureau compound, threw the box, which was specially nailed together with wooden strips to look like a coffin lid, on the ground, and ran away.

The scene, no matter how you look at it, gives off the feeling that something big is about to happen.

A thin layer of sweat instantly seeped out from Hong Zhan's back.

Could this be... a fucking bomb?!

Grass!

Hong Zhan instantly regained his senses. He reversed the car, turned around, and ran to a safe area while calling the city bureau's command center.

"This is Hong Zhan," he ordered quickly. "Two unidentified boxes have been found at the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. They are quite large and sealed in wooden crates. The person who threw them has already fled."

"Immediately activate the bomb disposal plan, cordon off the scene, evacuate personnel, and notify the bomb disposal team and criminal investigation team to arrive at the scene. No one is allowed to approach until the bomb disposal is confirmed to be safe."

"Hurry up!!"

The officer on duty on the other end of the phone was startled awake by this series of orders and quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"
