Three days later, in the Manoban family's old mansion's living room.
Elder Chongshan sat on the luxurious, red wook sofa. His second son, Manoban Hong, and his wife, Ye Yunzhi, stood by his side.
His eldest daughter-in-law, Huang Zhishu, and his adopted grandson Kai were tied up and remained kneeling before him.
Several bodyguards dressed in black suits expressionlessly waited for their instructions by the side.
Chongshan glanced towards the entrance every so often. "Lisa called all of us to gather here..." He then glanced towards Huang Zhishu and Kai. "He even made the two of them kneel here. I wonder why exactly..."
"Dad, please let Kai and I go." Huang Zhishu was in tears. "I don't know how we offended Lisa. He even tied his own aunt up. You know that I've always been obedient. I don't cause trouble..."
She was lying straight to his face. In this moment, she could only pray that the old thing's heart would soften and allow her and Kai the opportunity to escape before Lisa arrived.
Elder Chongshan was an intelligent man. "I have the feeling this isn't related to offending him. Furthermore, it seems like there is a very serious issue. Let's wait for him to come before we talk."
"Grandfather, please let me go first." Kai was pale as he begged. "Although I was adopted, I'm still your grandson."
"Enough!" The elder frowned. He was confused by their behavior. "Although, both of you have always been afraid of Lisa, it has never been to this extent. What on earth happened?"
Kai refused to give up. "Grandfather, untie me first."
Elder Manoban glanced at Bambam and the group of bodyguards behind him. "They'll only listen to Lisa's orders. There's no point even if I say anything."
Lisa stepped into the living room shoulder-to-shoulder with Jennie. His tall and broad-shouldered figure was a stark contrast to her slender one.
"Is everyone here?" Lisa scanned the place indifferently.
Following his cold gaze, the temperature in the living room seemed to fall. Everyone present in the room felt a heavy pressure and it left them trembling.
Huang Zhishu and her son immediately stopped begging for mercy and fell silent.
"Lisa, what exactly is going on?" Elder Chongshan's grey brows furrowed as he asked the question.
Lisa shot Bodyguard Bambam a look. Bambam immediately understood and began recounting the findings on Guan Jiping, Huang Zhishu, Kai and Somi.
When the Elder heard the story, his expression turned heavy. He did not say anything though.
Huang Zhishu demanded in anger. "What can you prove with this? So what if I used to know Guan Jiping twenty years ago!"
At the moment, a middle-aged man with an average appearance and a rather tan skin tone was shoved into the living room by one of the bodyguards.
Huang Zhishu and Kai were shocked to see that it was Guan Jiping.
Lisa began coldly. "Guan Jiping, answer Huang Zhishu. Twenty years ago, were the two of you just acquaintances?"
The bodyguards forced Guan Jiping to kneel down next to Huang Zhishu and his son. He was covered in cold sweat but he lowered his head and said, "It's true that we weren't especially close."
"Is that so?" Lisa was expressionless. "You sure have a harmonious family."
Bambam continued reporting. "Elder, this subordinate has investigated everything. Twenty years ago, before Kai and Somi were adopted, they were not actually orphans. Huang Zhisu had bribed the orphanage director to temporarily keep the children there. Huang Zhishu then deliberately brought your eldest son, Manoban Pu, to that orphanage for volunteering so that he would develop fond feelings for the children.. This was so she would be able to adopt them into the Manoban family eventually."
