Chapter 114: Planning
I asked Su Qian, âSince my little uncle and Jing Tian are resting, whoâs in charge? Brother Gao Jing and Gao Da?â
Su Qian nodded.
I thought for a moment. âSu Qian, do I have the authority to command them?â
âYes.â Su Qianâs expression was solemn. âMaster Si has already prepared for this. Should anything happen to him, Brother Gao Jing will follow Missâs directions.â
I nodded, âI wish to see them.â
Both Gao Jing and Gao Da were injured. Gao Jingâs left arm was bandaged, Gao Daâs head was bandaged.
I looked at them in shock and asked Su Qian, âBut didnât you tell me no one was injured. Is this what you mean?â
Su Qian nodded.
I asked Gao Jing, âIs your arm broken?â
Gao Jing nodded. âYes, but this is minor injury.â I turned to Gao Da. Without me asking, he replied, âIâm fine.â
I was impressed. âHow about Tong Lin and Yan Xin? Are they injured?â They looked at each other and then at Su Qian. I said, âI merely hope that theyâre alive. I donât care how serious their injury is. Hell, if theyâre not injured, Iâll correct that now.â
Gao Jing then admitted, âThey have suffered quite serious injuries. Master Si and Master Qi had gone all out trying to rescue Miss. If Master Si and Master Qi werenât injured themselves, Tong Lin and Yan Xin probably be dead already.â
I nodded before I turned to Su Qian. âSu Qian, inform Lin Ran that I need those two to heal as soon as possible. When I can use the wheelchair, I need them to be mobile as well, even if they have to be wheeled around. I have an invitation for them. Before they die, I have a show for them to see.â My words confused the three but Su Qian followed my orders.
After Su Qian left, I asked Gao Jing and Gao Da. âThat small island belongs to my mother?â
Gao Jing nodded, âYes, Miss. Now itâs yours.â
âSo I can renovate and move it as I please?â
Gao Jing was confused but he still nodded. âOf course.â
âAre there any guards on the island now?â
âYes, 2 elite squads have been left behind to guard the island. The island is heavily fortified, itâs not easy for outsiders to get in.â Gao Jing explained.
I raised my brow. âDoes this mean someone has tried?â The two nodded at the same time. This was a pleasant surprise for me. âGood, this saves me a lot of trouble.â I shared my thoughts with them.
Their eyes widened. âMiss, are you sure? Should we wait until Master Si and Master Qi wake up first?â
I looked at them. âIf you donât follow my orders, Iâll complain about this to them after they wake up~â
Gao Jing and Gao Da hesitated. They looked at each other. In the end, it was Gao Jing who said patiently, âMiss, that island is your parentâs present to you. I know youâre angry but you shouldnât vent it on the island.â
Gao Da nodded. âThatâs right, miss. If youâre still angry, we can go beat up those two bastards after they have healed.â
I smiled. It was rather cute that they would console me like a child. I put away my smile and told them my real thought. Their expressions turned solemn.
I concluded, âWe canât be on the defensive forever. Since I revealed myself on the darknet, it has caused a lot of trouble. You are more familiar with that than I am. Since they are after my wealth, then I shall give it to them. I donât want people to get injured because they need to protect me anymore. I believe that Master Qi and my little uncle will agree with me.â
They didnât speak but I was determined. I smiled. âDonât worry. Iâm sure my mother has more islands under her name. There will be more surprises. Brother Gao Jing, Brother Gao Da, I will leave this in your capable hands. I will persuade my little uncle and Master Qi so donât worry about that. After everything is ready, our guests of honor should be healed already.â
Gao Jing finally nodded. âOkay! Weâll go discuss the details with the brothers and then weâll come back to report to miss.â
I nodded. After they left, I leaned on the soft pillow and let out a long breath.
I had not lived at all in my previous life. But in this life, the moment I started to live for myself, all the ghouls and monsters surfaced.
Fine, I will show them who the real devil is! Itâs time to settle the score.
