The new Master of the Quans: Quan Jin.

There was complete silence.

Her mother was suddenly stunned, as if hit by lightning.

She tried her best to support herself by grabbing onto the sofa, lining up to sit straight.

The security guards were too shaken to keep the maid restrained. The servant, breaking free, looked up to Quan Jin and said, “Miss Quan, you did it! I knew it! You will never let us down. Have you guys heard? Miss Quan has become the Master of the Quans!”

“Master Quan!”

Quan’s mother saw how the servants worshiped Quan Jin. She had never, in the past seven years, seen such expressions of reverence from them. She could feel their full allegiance as they bowed at Quan Jin. The servants completely trusted and respected her, and were only loyal to her.

Everything was different! The Quans had changed!

Quan Jin was thinking.

Should she say, ‘My beloved servants, as you were?’

No, she shouldn’t.

“Just forego all the formalities.”

She did not pity Mrs Quan at all. Quan Jin commanded the security guard, “Ask the vice-captain from the law enforcement department to come here tomorrow. Escort madam back to her room and lock her in.”

She looked at her mother.

“By the way, the drugs that you have used on me to deteriorate my nervous system are not working anymore. If you wish to kill me, you have to try harder next time. Maybe insecticides could be a better choice.”

Quan Jin had found out: the ones who had drugged her, attempted to assassinate her and wanted her dead so badly… were her own parents.

All the senior officers and elders had worked hard for so many years to track down the leads, but they had found nothing. On the day of her own recovery, Quan Jin had cracked the case.

“Quan Jin–you… you have found out? I am sorry. I was wrong. Can you forgive–”

Bang!

Quan Jin turned away and slammed the door. She was not even bothered or wanted to listen to her explanations and excuses.

Why did her parents want her dead?

The vice-captain would give her an answer the following day. What she had done was not out of kindness, but for health points.
