She walked at a steady and orderly pace with her back as straight as a ruler.

She stepped out of the Jin family home and got inside her car.

The moment she closed the door, An Xiaoning looked at her reflection in the mirror as a smile formed on her face.

She was determined to live for the sake of herself and her real family from now onward.

There was no point in wasting her time with people who were not sincere and loyal to her.

She chucked the car key into the keyhole and began driving away.

Halfway into the journey, she received some good news from the hospital staff who informed her that Lin Mingxi had come to.

She immediately rushed to the hospital without delay.

Lin Mingxi was extremely frail and was tearing up incessantly with her eyes half-closed while lying in bed.

She constantly asked Mr. and Mrs. Lin about Gu Beicheng’s condition. However, they decided to keep it from her, for fear that they would agitate and upset her further.

Lin Mingxi’s eyes lit up upon the sight of An Xiaoning.

“Xiaoning...”

An Xiaoning bent forward and leaned closer toward her. “You’ve finally come to. Do you know how long you were in a coma for? I was worried sick. Good that you’re awake.”

“Beicheng...”

“He’ll be fine, he’s still in a coma too. You must get well soon so that you can go and visit him.”

Lin Mingxi blinked and expressed assent. Her nose was stuffed, and her tears were rolling down her face uncontrollably.

An Xiaoning comforted her, “Your baby is safe. Since you’ve come to, Beicheng should also be regaining his consciousness very soon.”

“How about Father-in-law and Mother-in-law...”

“They’re no longer around, Gu Dongcheng is dead too. Calm down, I’ll tell you everything slowly.”

Mrs. Lin handed her a chair and said, “Ms. An, take a seat.”

“Alright.” An Xiaoning sat down on the chair and continued, “After Father and Mother died, I traveled to the netherworld to see them for the last time, but I didn’t manage to bring them back to life. Gu Dongcheng’s wandering spirit was not taken away by the reapers after his death and so I figured out that he must have been in Beicheng’s ward. I quickly rushed there and blocked the door and window with some amulets to trap him inside. That’s how I managed to bring him back with me. At that time, his corpse had gone missing, and I managed to ambush and kill the people who had controlled Gu Dongcheng’s consciousness with his guidance. The DK Organization was planning to use Gu Dongcheng to annihilate you and Beicheng, so as to get their hands on the Gu Corporation. Gu Dongcheng was initially planning to kill you two as well. However, he didn’t expect that he and Father would end up dying as well.”

“What happened to his corpse?”

“The manipulators had stolen his corpse and tried to carry out an experiment with it.”

“Who are those people?” Lin Mingxi asked.

“Members of the DK Organization. Gu Dongcheng and those people were in cahoots for each other’s benefit.”

“Gu Dongcheng’s spirit...”

“Rest assured, it’s been taken away by the grim reapers. Mingxi, don’t worry about anything else and just focus on nursing your body back to health,” said An Xiaoning, patting the back of her hand.

Teary-eyed, Lin Mingxi was filled with grief and exasperation. “I really didn’t expect that to happen. We took so many precautions...”

“Don’t get so worked up, simmer down. Your body is still frail. Refrain from talking too.”

“But, Xiaoning, the company...”

“I’m around to handle the matters.”

Lin Mingxi nodded and said, “Be careful, I reckon the extended family members and the shareholders must be thinking of getting up to some tricks.”

“I know what to do.”

An Xiaoning headed to the intensive care unit after leaving Lin Mingxi’s ward.

After taking a look at Gu Beicheng, she received a call from Jin Qingyan.

“A board meeting is taking place at the Gu Corporation right now. They’ll be choosing an acting CEO to replace Gu Beicheng for the time being. If Gu Beicheng doesn’t come to, the chosen candidate shall then become the rightful successor of the corporation. I’m guessing the chosen candidate must be the person with the greatest percentage of shares apart from Gu Beicheng.”

“Now?”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

She ended the call and hurriedly returned to Lin Mingxi’s ward.

She decided to tell Lin Mingxi about it since the latter was conscious.

Lin Mingxi flew into a rage upon hearing her words. However, she knew her priorities and filmed a video that she then sent to An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning immediately made her way to the Gu Corporation office building, bringing along several bodyguards with her.

Upon arriving, they were obstructed from entering by some employees of the Gu Corporation.

“Are you tired of living?” she snapped, glaring at them.

“Sorry, Ms. An, we’re just following instructions given by the higher authorities,” said the lobby manager, who was put in a spot.

“You’d better back off. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty.”

“Ms. An... please don’t make things difficult for us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, An Xiaoning’s bodyguards immediately pulled them away. The captain of the security team and the rest of the security officers then turned a blind eye and dared not stop them.

An Xiaoning entered with her bodyguards, after which Jin Qingyan sent another batch to her aid. The entire Gu Corporation was on lockdown, and arrangements with the press and media had also been made.

Fan Shixin informed An Xiaoning about everything.

Fan Shixin called her just as she arrived upstairs. Thus, she waited for him to arrive before entering the board meeting room together.

Upon the sight of An Xiaoning making her grand entrance, the shareholders of the company snapped, “Are these security officers all idiots!?! Why did they let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in!?!”

An Xiaoning walked toward the master seat. No. 5 and No. 8 immediately pulled the person in the seat away even before she gave out instructions.

“Please stop making bold assumptions and statements. You took advantage of my brother’s coma and exacted your scheming plan to select a new leader. Who gave you the right to do so? Don’t forget who the largest shareholder of the Gu Corporation is! He’s not dead yet, so none of you are in any place to make decisions!” she hollered. She then sent Fan Shixin the video, which he quickly played on the big screen of the meeting room.

“My sister-in-law has already come to. Please hear what she has to say,” An Xiaoning continued.

The video began to play and Lin Mingxi appeared rather agitated while saying, “Do you people take my husband to be dead? He’s still in a coma at present and he can’t take charge of the company, but don’t forget, I’m still here. I’m officially handing over the managerial duties to An Xiaoning and she will be in charge of the Gu Corporation until I or Beicheng recovers fully.”

After the video ended, An Xiaoning stared at the people around the desk and said, “You’ve heard her. From now on, I’ll be replacing my brother temporarily and become the acting director of the Gu Corporation. I know you’re not convinced and have doubts about me, but it doesn’t matter. After all, I was once in charge of the Jin Corporation when Jin Qingyan went missing during a tsunami. If you still have qualms about my abilities, it doesn’t matter either. It doesn’t bother me. All I care about is running the Gu Corporation as well as my brother did. That’s all.”

“How are you supposed to convince us? You and Jin Qingyan are closely related. What if you divulge our business secrets...”

An Xiaoning immediately interjected and stood up to the fuming elderly man, “Shut up. I’m a member of the Gu family, and my name is registered under the Gu family household register that now only has my, my brother, and my sister-in-law’s names. Please get your facts straight!”

The elderly man turned pale from exasperation.

An Xiaoning warned, “It’s important to uphold the reputation of the Gu Corporation. If I hear any of you spouting nonsense and tarnishing the reputation of the Gu Corporation, don’t blame me for being merciless. I won’t spare anyone, regardless of whoever it may be. This board meeting is completely pointless, let’s call it a day.”
