But Gu Jiajie’s actions made Qiu Qianghai puzzled.

Although he was young, he was very smooth in dealing with people.

No one yet knew that he had broken up with Le Jiani.

Wasn’t he afraid that he would be unhappy once he found out, or was there some other reason?

After thinking it over and over, he came to the most improbable idea.

But this idea could not be verified.

This was not the most important thing at the moment.

What he needed to do now was to call the gatekeeper; he hoped Le Jiani would not come looking for him again.

...

Le Jiani, upon receiving such a large sum of money, immediately left with the money bag.

The money was enough for her to live carefree for a year, never again having to accompany old men and see their ugly bodies.

Or endure the crushing weight of layers of fat.

She left Zone D and the Left Bank Pavilion joyfully.

Just as she stepped through the gates, a man rushed out from the shadows.

"Nini!"

A chilling, bone-gnawing voice resounded, making Le Jiani’s body tremble involuntarily.

Staring at the middle-aged man blocking her path, she was both angry and panicked: "You, why are you here?"

The man in front of her was named Le Dahai.

He had been lying in wait for a very long time, finally finding his daughter.

Le Jiani was his daughter, and also his cash cow, his money bag.

Le Dahai laughed smugly, "Of course, since my precious daughter is here, I am naturally here too."

"Why do you still cling to me!" Le Jiani hadn’t expected his shamelessness, and she yelled at him angrily.

The most painful part of her life was being born as Le Dahai’s daughter; her mother abandoned the family because of him and ran off with someone else.

This man was addicted to alcohol and gambling; these two hobbies threw her life into darkness from a young age.

Once, she could have been an innocent, carefree girl, but this man made her earn money for his drinks and gambling at such a young age, making her lose the innocence that a girl should have.

If she could, she would never wish to be Le Dahai’s daughter.

Her words completely infuriated Le Dahai, he glared at her fiercely: "I’ve been looking for you for a long time! Did you really think you could run from me, and I wouldn’t find you?"

Seeing the bag in her hand, he stepped forward and snatched it away.

"Give me back the bag! Get away, stay away from me!"

Le Jiani, like a hyena being robbed of food, eyes filled with fierceness, stepped forward to struggle with him.

The series of struggles caused the bag she held to tear, spilling most of the cash onto the ground.

The father and daughter, who had been fighting moments before, suddenly froze in place.

Le Dahai had never seen so much money in his life, his eyes turned red, greed nearly spilling from his eyes.

As he came to his senses, he casually threw the bag aside and quickly bent down to pick up the money.

This money had been hard-earned by Le Jiani; there was no way she would allow it to fall into his hands.

Killing intent flashed in her eyes, she reached out to push Le Dahai: "Don’t touch! This is all my money, you stay away! Don’t touch my money, give it back—"

Le Dahai, repeatedly pushed, showed great impatience on his face, got up and kicked Le Jiani in the stomach, cursing: "Bitch! Stupid slut! I gave birth to you and raised you, your money is mine!"

Le Jiani was kicked to the ground; she felt sharp pain in her stomach, her ears rang, and she couldn’t hear what Le Dahai was saying.

Clutching her stomach, she moaned continuously: "It hurts, it hurts so much—"

Under the dim streetlight, no one noticed the dark red blood on the ground.
