Yang Jiao was having a very strange dream.
In her dream, her once kind-looking grandfather tied her to the bed. Then, her grandfather's seven orifices began to bleed, and like a corpse, he raised a knife, slowly aiming it at his own heart...
Password 563743675
Suddenly, her grandfather disappeared. Her father, Yang Jie, and her mother, Liao Yuan, sat beside her, smiling. On her left and right, they dug and dug into her chest, and soon, they pulled out a lump of black and foul-smelling matter.
Looking at this lump, her father smiled. Then, he suddenly started digging into his own chest. Soon, he pulled out a bright red object. Finally, her father and mother pushed together with all their might and shoved the bright red object into their chests.
The dream ended. Yang Jiao opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
In the VIP hospital room, Ping An was sitting in a chair by the bedside, quietly reading a book.
Perhaps sensing Yang Jiao had woken up, Ping An smiled and stood up. He then took out his phone and made a call.
"Officer Xu, it's Ping An. Could you please relay a message to inmate number 2345? Yes, you already know? Hehehe, truly touching, truly touching. Mmm, oh, the sisters in the entire prison are praying for her? Oh my, such love for humanity! Then I won't keep you any longer. The child has woken up, yes, she's healthy. Mmm, please quickly give her this good news!"
Ping An's words were like the sunshine outside the window, bright and warm.
Yang Jiao slowly stretched, but a heart-wrenching pain shot through her body.
"Take it easy, go slow. There's still a long way to go," Ping An's voice came to her ears, comforting.
"I..." Yang Jiao tried to open her mouth, but Ping An cut her off.

"What happened before is over. What happens after is not my concern. You're only eighteen. The court will decide, and the wind power company, you are now its largest shareholder. In the future, listen to your mother's advice." Ping An said gently.
"Su Tang..." Yang Jiao seemed to remember something and uttered a name.
"That's between you two. I can't manage that," Ping An said. "I've stayed by your side for a week. Seeing you alive makes me genuinely happy. I've lived up to someone's entrustment."
"Luoye Mountain, in the cave, on the operating table, not enough anesthetic, I was actually awake the whole time..." Yang Jiao spoke intermittently, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
"I saw it. You cried on the operating table back then," Ping An said, patting the hospital bed. "There are police outside, as well as bodyguards and a nanny arranged by Mr. Ma. I have some personal matters to attend to today, so I won't be staying."
With that, Ping An put away his book and quietly left.
Outside the hospital room, Su Tang, carrying a large plastic bag, leaned quietly against the wall.
"Aren't you going in to see her?" Ping An walked up and, as if habitually, stroked his disciple's head. "You've been helping Master take care of that girl for a week, washing her underwear, changing her sheets, washing her face and feet, feeding her water and massaging her, but I've never seen you treat me this well. Now that she's awake, aren't you going to make your presence known?" Kuaishu Pavilion.
"No, Master. The Yang Jiao I knew is dead. Her world has nothing to do with me from now on," Su Tang said generously. "It's you, Master, this time we were bossed around by a whole family. Don't you hold any grudges?"
"Who says I don't hold grudges! Today, you'll accompany Master to get some revenge!" Ping An grabbed Su Tang, and they sped away from the hospital on a motorcycle.

River City has a total of six districts and two counties. Along a large river, from north to south, are the River Valley District, River Water District, Riverside District, Riverbank District, River Channel District, and the River City Economic and Technological Development Zone. Among these, the Riverside, Riverbank, and River Channel districts are the old urban areas of River City, located on both sides of the river, and are the most prosperous areas. The southernmost River Valley District is a new district established in recent years, mainly an industrial zone. The River Water District does not actually border the river; it's just that it was formerly called River Water County, and this area is River City's famous "University City," home to institutions like Shanhe University and River City University of Technology. The remaining River City Economic and Technological Development Zone is located at the southernmost tip and is River City's high-tech development zone. Because it is adjacent to the airport and high-speed rail station, it is also known locally as the "Transportation District."
The reason for detailing the districts of River City is that what follows is related to them.
After leaving the hospital, Ping An, with Su Tang on the back of his motorcycle, sped directly to a high-end CBD center in the River Channel District. The tallest building in this center belongs to An's International. Not only is it the headquarters of An's Greater China, but it is also the base of operations for the An Group. Chairman An, who is in charge, has set up his base here since remarrying.
Although Chairman An's son, Ping An, was visiting this place for the first time. An Jing, being closer to their mother, would visit occasionally. Su Tang recalled that her aunt had once mentioned that this office building not only had her aunt's private office but also Master's. However, Master was stubborn and never came here.
But for some reason, Ping An came here boldly today.
In a high-end place, there are naturally more rules. As soon as Ping An parked his motorcycle in the parking space in front of the building, a security guard politely asked Ping An to move his vehicle.
"I'm sorry, sir, this is a reserved parking area. Please park your car elsewhere." This is a large company, and even the security guards are polite.
"Oh, that, we are..." Su Tang, seeing this, quickly tried to reveal their identity. She realized that her Master was acting very strangely and quickly stated their identities. An's people wouldn't dare to be rude to Master, right?
However, Ping An stopped Su Tang, then got off the motorcycle with a smile and kicked the security guard.
"Ouch!" The security guard had no defense against Ping An's sudden move and sat down on the ground.

"Go back and tell your chairman that Grandpa is here to have fun today. If he's not happy, no one gets to celebrate the New Year!" Ping An, having found a hollow aluminum alloy rod from somewhere, pointed it at the security guard who was scrambling back and yelled loudly.
"Master, are we here to get into a fight? I'm just a girl," Su Tang cautiously tugged at Ping An's clothes and said pitifully.
"Oh, right, that. You go to the nearby store and wait, have a cup of milk tea or something. Master is full of anger. Should I take it out on you?" Ping An said fiercely.
Su Tang quickly waved her hands like a fan and tiptoed into the mall. She then ordered a cup of milk tea and watched her Master with anticipation as he vented his anger.
An's International security guard was beaten?
This is no small matter, they are a major company! In recent years, they have invested in energy, film, and entertainment. Money and power, this is the kind of company they are.
The security guard, crying and wailing, returned to the building. After complaining to his colleagues, several who were not to be intimidated immediately grabbed their weapons and prepared to go teach him a lesson. The cunning security captain also remembered to call 110, so that the police could handle the aftermath.
Seeing the other side charging at them with a rod, the group was about to rush out. But at this crucial moment, the Chairman's personal secretary, a beautiful young woman named Xu Li, suddenly stopped them.
"The Chairman has ordered that the company will be closed for leave immediately. All employees must leave and await further notice. The gentleman who has arrived, no one is allowed to stop him, not even if he burns down the building!" Xu Li's serious expression confused the security guards.
"Supervisor Xu, what if he hits us?" a security guard asked.

"Then hide. The company will reimburse medical expenses and pay triple compensation," Xu Li said, seemingly not joking.
Suddenly, various office workers in the building, under the urging of their superiors' superiors, evacuated rapidly through the emergency exits. Of course, they also had an explanation for the outside world, a noble one: emergency drills!
Ping An, of course, ignored everything. Qiao Yiyan's death felt like a stone pressing on his chest. He hated being controlled the most, especially by his mother. Qiao Yiyan's death was directly related to Chairman An. This time, Ping An had truly lost his temper.
In the center of the building's first-floor lobby, a gilded pendulum clock was smashed into pieces by Ping An's blow. The painting opposite the elevator was personally bought by Chairman An from France, but now it had more than ten large holes in it from Ping An's actions.
Although he rarely interacted with An's, all the top management of An's International knew this young master. For example, Xu Li, in addition to her work as Chairman An's personal secretary, her main task was to collect information about Ping An's daily life.
Speaking of Xu Li, one cannot help but mention the eight female secretaries around Chairman An. Each of them was not only exceptionally beautiful and curvaceous but also possessed high emotional and intellectual intelligence. Within the company, these eight secretaries were known as the "An's Eight Beauties," and Xu Li was the leader of this group.
"Sister Xu, the Chairman has already left. How are things on your end? Has that troublemaker bullied you?" another "beauty," Yang Ling, asked through Xu Li's earphones. Incidentally, because Chairman An often called Ping An "troublemaker," they called him that in private.
"He won't seriously hurt anyone, especially not women." Xu Li, who was very familiar with Ping An, looked at Ping An, who was exerting all his strength to smash a bronze artifact not far away, and said with a smile, "Isn't Miss An Jing returning today? What time is her flight? Have you arranged for someone to pick her up?"
"Arrangements have been made. It's in the evening. It's too late, and I heard that this time the troublemaker has lost his temper. Miss An Jing might not be able to stop him even if she comes," Yang Ling said. "What, are you feeling sorry for him? The Chairman is worried about his son getting tired from smashing things. Why are you worried? Worried about that bit of bronze?"
"Let's stop joking. You take good care of the Chairman. The foreign guests on the 14th floor are waiting to discuss cooperation. I don't know who is in charge upstairs." Hearing Yang Ling's teasing, Xu Li's face actually turned red, and she quickly changed the subject.

"The negotiation is being handled by the Sixth Secretary's office, which is Zhang Qing's responsibility. I'll call her right away. Hey, you be careful too, don't let him really hit you." Yang Ling and Xu Li had a good relationship, and at a critical moment, she did not forget to remind her.
"Got it, got it. Oh my, the troublemaker is going upstairs, I need to hurry after him!" Xu Li exclaimed and chased after Ping An in her high heels.
Someone might ask, during the day, would the police not intervene in such a destructive incident at such a high-end company? Believe it or not, the district police station had some other business today.
It is said that a young, plump man with a bump on his head was appointed as the Deputy District Chief and Director of the Public Security Bureau of the River Channel District for his meritorious service in solving cases.
Some said this guy was incredibly lucky, as the River Channel District was the most prosperous district in River City. Others said this guy had terrible luck. Although it seemed like a lateral move, and he was still Deputy Director, he had lost the opportunity to join the Municipal Public Security Bureau Party Committee.
Ping An, of course, paid no attention to these matters. He continued to smash and tear, feeling his chest full of anger, wishing he could set the whole place on fire and burn it all down to feel satisfied.
"Xiao Fei, I asked you to come down to get some experience. You're getting married soon, don't just think about your own little life," Xiang Wanfeng said helplessly, sitting next to Gao Xiaofei in the District Public Security Bureau's assembly hall. "Well! Your good brother is really giving you some support. You've just taken office, and he's already started smashing An's International."
"Director Xiang, that's a family matter. We generally don't get involved," Gao Xiaofei said with a chuckle, but a large bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Damn Ping An, couldn't he have waited until I took office?
Ping An, naturally, didn't take Gao Xiaofei seriously. Or rather, he was prepared to go to the detention center. At this moment, he had already smashed his way from the first to the eighth floor. Given that this damned building had 40 floors, smashing his way up floor by floor was not cost-effective, so he entered the elevator and went directly to the 20th floor, the chairman's office floor.

"Oh my, why bother? What's the matter, you can tell your uncle, right? Why smash the building? Alright, alright, rest for a while first, rest for a while..." Outside the chairman's office, Ping An's nominal uncle-in-law, the general manager of An's International, 38-year-old Bi Tianqiong, stood firmly in the hallway, blocking Ping An. Seeing Ping An emerge from the elevator, he clung to Ping An's waist, enduring a blow, and coaxed and cajoled him into another office.
"This one is not good to smash. This one is yours. How about it? Big sister personally arranged the renovation. Take a look, do you like it!" After being pulled into the office, Ping An genuinely felt a bit tired. He threw down the rod and sat down brazenly in the leather chair behind the boss's desk.
"Tell her to come see me. No one else will do today!" Ping An said, breathing heavily.
"Why bother? Your mother is also doing this for your own good, isn't she? She doesn't want Miss Qiao to get into trouble, does she? She regards Miss Qiao as her future daughter-in-law," Bi Tianqiong said with a fawning smile.
"Nonsense, she's just using the daughter-in-law as a pretext to lure her in. How dangerous is that? Why doesn't she come herself? In short, she's dead, what does she have to compensate me with?" Ping An became more and more angry as he spoke. He casually picked up a silver pen holder from the desk and smashed it fiercely in the direction of the door.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Xu Li suddenly entered from outside the door. The pen holder hit her directly on the head.
A silver object, weighing at least seven or eight pounds, hitting someone's head would cause a bump even if it didn't bleed.
"Little Xu, are you alright? Ping An, look at you!" Bi Tianqiong quickly went to check on Xu Li.
Seeing that he had injured someone, Ping An could no longer sit still. He got up and walked towards Xu Li.

A small cut had indeed appeared on her head, and a trace of blood flowed down Xu Li's face.
Ping An took a pack of tissues from his pocket, somewhat embarrassed, pressed it to Xu Li's head, and then yelled towards the door, "Is everyone dead? Hurry up and get someone! Is there a nurse in the company's infirmary? Call an ambulance!"
"You hold it down, I'll go out and check!" Bi Tianqiong winked at Xu Li and then slipped out of the office.
After Bi Tianqiong left, Ping An, to more easily press on Xu Li's wound, simply pulled her half into his arms. Xu Li's face turned red, and she whispered, "Mr. Ping, I'm fine. I can hold it myself."
"Oh!" Ping An only then realized the awkwardness of their current posture and quickly let go.
"You're calling me Mr. Ping? I don't hold a position in the company! Are you her secretary?" Ping An sat aside, looking at Xu Li. He thought for a moment, she looked familiar, but he just couldn't recall.
"Yes, to be precise, I am your secretary. You are a Deputy General Manager appointed by the company, and I am your administrative secretary." Xu Li touched her head, found that the bleeding had stopped, and then stood up, saying respectfully, "During the years you were away, I handled all the work."
"This is acceptable! I explicitly stated that I wouldn't come to work at the company. Why was I still assigned something?" Perhaps his hands were tied from hitting people, seeing a nurse from the company's infirmary tiptoeing in with a medical kit, Ping An's tone slowly softened. "Sit down, tell me slowly!"
"You are the Deputy General Manager in charge of human resources, administrative logistics, and property management. Let me introduce myself, I am your secretary supervisor, 30 years old. Six years ago, when the board of directors appointed you as Deputy General Manager, you wrote a certain character on the appointment letter, and since then, I have been fully responsible for your work, directly supervised by the Chairman." Xu Li said crisply. "Previously, the head office was always outside. Only in recent years did it move back. Because you were responsible for the aftermath, your team, including myself, finally returned in June this year after completing the affairs of the old company."
Ping An was a bit stunned. He never dreamed that his mother could play such a trick. However, he vaguely remembered that An Jing had occasionally told him about company matters. It seemed there was a matter of him being appointed Deputy General Manager, but at the time he had just scribbled a character "屁" and hadn't taken it seriously. Now, it seemed that this capable person in front of him had handled his work for nearly six years.

"I'm not here to work today, as you can see. I'm here to smash things. As for you, do what you need to do. I haven't accepted it, which means I haven't accepted it. You can do as you please." Ping An's anger had mostly subsided. He looked at his watch, feeling that Su Tang was probably falling asleep from waiting, and he had to cook a big meal for An Jing, who was returning home, this afternoon. He then prepared to leave.
"Boss, please wait a moment," Xu Li suddenly stopped Ping An.
"Oh, is there anything else?" Ping An asked.
"It's like this, your matter with that person is a family affair, but the company, after all, is a global top 500 company, and we have to consider some face-saving aspects," Xu Li suddenly took out a thick file from a bookshelf. "The company is about to participate in a government project. According to regulations, we need to provide the work plan of the company's main responsible person. I have already prepared the plan, but I need your signature. I was planning to find you in the next few days. For the sake of the bigger picture..."
"So troublesome. Tell her to quickly remove this damn Deputy General Manager position from me. I have absolutely no interest," Ping An said without even looking at the file, and casually signed it.
"Hey, I just remembered, did you study in Singapore in college?" Ping An suddenly turned around as he was about to leave and asked casually.
"Oh, yes, why, you?" Xu Li was caught off guard by Ping An's question and almost dropped the file.
"It's nothing, I have a friend who has met you before," Ping An said with a smile, then turned and left.
A seemingly chaotic smashing spree finally came to an end as Ping An calmly departed.
High in the building, Xu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief after Ping An left. She sat down on the sofa and took out her phone, quickly dialing a number.

"It's successful. Ping An signed it without even looking," Xu Li said excitedly, her previous weakness gone.
"That's good. He would never have imagined that we would exchange things under his nose in his name," a deep voice said from the other end of the phone.
"Teacher, you're amazing. How did you know Ping An would come to the company to cause trouble?" Xu Li asked.
"I just guessed Ping An would come, but I didn't expect him to cause trouble." The voice on the other end continued, "I won't talk about this with you anymore. Send the materials immediately. An's, with the government's help, is already excavating that batch of cultural relics. This time, I've put in countless efforts just for that tablet. With that tablet, we will be the legitimate ones!"
"Okay, Teacher. I'll put on some makeup and bring it to you right away." Xu Li hung up the phone, carefully hugged the documents, and left the building through the fire escape before the company staff returned.
Outside the wind power residential area, Old Hua, who hadn't shown his face for a while, was diligently disassembling a range hood under a tent outside his shop.
"Old Hua, I haven't seen you around lately?" Xiao Gao, the security captain of the wind power residential area, passed by and greeted Old Hua warmly.
"Hi, I was injured last time and haven't fully recovered. Gao Da has someone to care for him, but I don't. I hid at my nephew's place in the countryside for a month, and only came back after I recovered." Old Hua still had his usual rascally demeanor, but his eyes were fixed on the dozen steel bars in Xiao Gao's hand as he spoke.
"Alright, stop looking. They're for you," Xiao Gao said with a smile and handed over the steel bars.
"Heh, it's been days, I've finally made a sale. Let me weigh it for you!" Old Hua quickly grabbed the scale.

"No, no, they're all for you. It's not much money, just keep it for some cigarettes," Xiao Gao said.
"Alright, you're happy. Is there any good news?" Old Hua asked.
"The wind power residential area case is finally closed. With nothing on my mind, I feel better. Hey, health is wealth!" Xiao Gao said and left, swinging his hands.
A thin figure, riding a bicycle with a bundle of cardboard, passed by Xiao Gao.
"Achoo!"
A peculiar smell suddenly entered Xiao Gao's nose. Xiao Gao sneezed, glanced back at the cyclist, rubbed his nose, and walked away.
Only Old Hua and the cyclist remained in the shed. Old Hua glanced at the cyclist, then turned and went into the shop. The cyclist put down the things and followed him in.
