must be extremely careful with their words and actions!"Grandpa Eight, I'm not going to beat around the bush." Huang Zhongtai paused for a moment before speaking."Eight Ye should be more clear than H...[ ]

"You and your parents should pack up these next couple of days, we'll move back to Dongzhou in two days. We'll start anew." Ling Hao continued.

"You're being too idealistic!" Qin Yuxin took a deep breath. "You have no idea how bad our situation is!"

"East Ocean, there is no place for our family at all!"

"That was in the past!" Ling Hao spoke solemnly: "From now on, everything will become the past, trust me, I can definitely do it!"

"Sigh! Why don't you understand" Qin Yuxin sighed. "Forget it, even if I say more now, you won't believe me. You'll understand later!"

After finishing her sentence, she gave Ling Hao a look that was both hesitant and pleading. “I...could I ask you one more favor”

"Of course!" Ling Hao nodded vigorously. "You tell me!"

Three days later, it's grandpa's birthday, and our family is going to Dongzhou to celebrate with him.

"If you're available, would you be able to go to the Qin family with us"

They always say that Ruirui is an illegitimate wild child and they never stop mocking her whenever they meet.

"Ruirui now has psychological trauma and doesn't dare to go to the Qin family. This time, I want you to go with us, hoping that you can give her a sense of security!"

She wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, but for her right now, there was no better option. She could only take it one step at a time.

"That's settled then!" Ling Hao nodded forcefully. "We'll meet in Dongzhou in three days!"

“Thank you!” Qin Yuxin nodded slightly, after a brief pause, she said with a hint of guilt.

However, if you go to the Qin family, they will definitely ridicule and mock you...

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ling Hao smiled faintly.

“Well then… that’s all for today, I suppose” Qin Yuxin nodded her head slightly and added.

"Don't blame my mom, she's got a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Over the years, if it weren't for her help, I also..."

"I know!" Ling Hao interrupted her again: "I only have guilt and gratitude towards your parents!"

After finishing, he spoke again: “I’ll go to Dongzhou to handle some things first. I’ll wait for your call in three days.”

"If Ruirui wakes up and wants to find me, just tell her she'll see Dad in three days. By then, Dad will never leave her again!"

"Hmm!" Qin Yuxin nodded her head with a complex look in her eyes.

The next morning.

East Prefecture, Houshan Cemetery.

Ling Hao knelt before a tombstone.

His face showed no emotion whatsoever, his eyes were bloodshot.

A chill permeated his entire being, dropping the temperature of the surrounding air by at least four or five degrees.

Three meters away from him, Lu Yue stood like a javelin, his expression solemn and grave.

For two or three hours now, the pair have remained in this pose, like figures in a painting, completely motionless.

"General, please be strong!" After another hour passed, Lu Yue spoke.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Ling Hao kowtowed heavily three times to the tombstone.

"Father, your unfilial son Ling Hao has returned. Rest in peace!"

"I will find out all those who participated in the murder of you and your family, and I will make them kneel down and apologize to you!"

After his words fell, he rose and bowed three times, then stepped out.

Five years ago How did that investigation go” Ling Hao asked after they got in the car.

"The general's orders have already been clarified!" Lu Yue said after starting the car.

"According to the characteristics of the assassin you provided at the time, I had the judge investigate for half a year and finally found him in a neighboring country. He confessed to everything."

"The mastermind behind the murder of your foster family back then was none other than the Zhao family, currently the first wealthy family in Tohoku, along with the Wang and Tao families."

"Sure enough, it's them!" A bone-chilling killing intent emanated from Ling Hao.

Five years ago, the Zheng family, where Ling Hao's adoptive father belonged, was the leading family among the four great families of Dongzhou. The remaining three families were Zhao, Wang, and Tao.

Although all four families are powerful, the Zheng family's strength far surpasses any other. They effortlessly hold dominance over them.

His foster father was a man of great talent and decisiveness, who acted swiftly and forcefully. He looked down upon the working styles of the other three families and often clashed with them.

Especially the Zhao family, having lost several major projects to the Zheng family, has long held a grudge.

Ling Hao had once reminded his adoptive father to be careful of the three families joining forces to do something underhanded.

But his foster father always believed that evil would not triumph over good, and that in the face of absolute power, all plots and schemes were futile!

So, they were never taken seriously from the beginning to the end.

But in the end, things still went wrong!

"I had people look into the Zheng family's businesses from back then, and now they're all basically under these three names. This also proves that what the assassin said wasn't false!" Lu Yue continued.

"Mmm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly and continued, "Have you found out who poisoned the person back then"

On the day of the incident, the foster father's family was holding a family banquet. If it hadn't been for the poisoning beforehand, with the foster father's skills, he wouldn't have been massacred.

"Found her!" Lu Yue nodded. "It's your foster father's former love, Liu Jiayao!"

"Hmm!" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed, "Is it her"

The boy's father was widowed in his early years and never remarried.

Liu Jiayao is the general manager of the public relations department of Zheng Group, a famous beauty in Dongzhou. Later, she climbed onto her foster father's bed through certain means.

But her foster father had never intended to marry her, and Liu Jia Yao secretly harbored resentment.

Ling Hao didn't have a good impression of Liu Jiayao. At first glance, he felt that she was a woman who was cunning and manipulative.

However, since her adoptive father didn't reject her at the time, Ling Hao didn't say anything.

He didn't expect this woman to be so ruthless!

"Well!" Lu Yue nodded again. "She's now Zhao Yuehui, the head of the Zhao family, publicly declared lover!"

"Very good!" Ling Hao said in a cold voice. "I'll settle the score with him then!"

"Marshal, there's something else I need to tell you." Lu Yue had a hesitant expression.

"Speak!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice.

"Originally, on the day of the incident, your foster father's daughter was also saved by a kind person, just like you." Lu Yue took a deep breath and continued.

But the next day, she was found by the second young master of the Zhao family and his men. Then, together with the two young masters from the Tao and Wang families, they bullied her in every way. Your sister couldn't bear the humiliation and finally jumped into the river to end her life.

And, the person who saved her was also brutally murdered by the three of them!odigal!"He clearly held animosity towards Ling Hao and the other. Despite the old man repeatedly reminding them not to provoke Ling Hao, the resentment in his heart was naturally not so easily quelled...
