The White Rose, Deceived and Crippled, Sows the Seeds of Doubt

According to the information provided by Monkey, Qiangwei is the younger sister of the former Wolf King of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps.

Her surname is Bai, and her full name is Bai Qiangwei!

Her older brother was named Bai Tianhuai. During an S-class mission with the mercenary corps, someone leaked their intelligence, leading to an ambush. Almost all the elite members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps were killed, including Bai Tianhuai himself.

Only Su Han managed to escape. After returning, thanks to his exceptional personal skills, he was quickly elected as the new Wolf King.

After that, it was a series of senseless operations. After ascending to the position of Wolf King, Su Han vowed to avenge the former Wolf King, Bai Tianhuai. The slogans were loud and clear... but after five or six years, most of the old guard had either left or been worn down... and yet, there was still no sign of successful revenge.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Su Han, Su Han... such a golden opportunity has landed right in front of me. If I don't interfere, wouldn't that be a disservice to my reputation as a villain?"

And Su Han, your so-called 'brother'?

Soon, you'll see his true colors.

But for now... of course, I need to go and meet Qiangwei.

......

"Miss Qiangwei, you can't leave the hotel. Mr. Jiang said you're the sister of an old friend, and we can't let anything happen to you."

Bai Qiangwei wanted to leave the hotel to find Su Han, but the hotel manager stopped her.

No way, Mr. Jiang had explicitly said not to let her go. They had to do everything possible to keep her here.

But it wasn't all bad. The girl was easy to handle—just feed her all kinds of delicious food when she got hungry, and after eating, she'd want to go find Su Han... They even hired a few girls to teach her how to play video games.

After two or three days, Bai Qiangwei was starting to show signs of becoming a gaming addict.

[Mr. Jiang, always Mr. Jiang! Can't I just meet him once?]

Although Bai Qiangwei was extremely curious about Mr. Jiang, she couldn't say it out loud. She maintained her aloof demeanor.

Just then, a gentle voice came through.

"Oh? You must be Tianhuai's sister, Qiangwei, right?"

Bai Qiangwei glanced over and blinked a couple of times, looking a bit dazed.

This man... looked so young, probably no older than his twenties. His face still carried a hint of youthful innocence.

He seemed about her age. How could he have been friends with her brother?

"Mr. Jiang?"

Qiangwei spoke sparingly. She rarely talked and disliked people who tried to get too familiar too quickly.

But since this man was a friend of her brother's, she didn't mind.

"No need to call me Mr. Jiang. You can call me Jiang Che or Brother Jiang."

Jiang Che walked over to Bai Qiangwei and sat down in a chair across from her, taking a good look at the girl.

Honestly, she was even more beautiful in person than in photos, exuding a cold, elegant aura. This kind of icy beauty was the type that most aroused a man's desire to conquer.

"Jiang... Jiang Che, were you friends with my brother?"

He had just called her brother "Tianhuai." Her brother's real name was Bai Tianhuai, something not many in the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps knew.

"I suppose you could say we were friends. After all, he once saved my life. Tianhuai was ten years older than me, so you could say we were friends despite the age gap. I just never expected... that our last meeting would be our final one."

Jiang Che's acting skills were terrifyingly good—like an old sow wearing a bra, one trick after another. He almost believed his own lies.

He had Bai Qiangwei completely fooled. Back when her brother was still alive...

Mentioning Bai Tianhuai made Bai Qiangwei's mood drop. Her brother... was the last family she had in this world.

"It's okay. From now on, if you're living in Dragon Country, I'll be your support!"

Jiang Che's words left Bai Qiangwei momentarily stunned. She wanted to retort... Su Han was her support!

But the words got stuck in her throat.

"I heard that after Tianhuai's accident, the Wolf King of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps changed. Is that true?" Jiang Che rubbed his fingers together as he asked patiently.

Qiangwei was a bit taken aback. How did he know so much about the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps?

"Yes, Su Han took over my brother's position. How do you know so much about our Wolf Fang?"

Bai Qiangwei was starting to feel wary.

"Hah... Ever since I heard about Tianhuai's accident two years ago, I couldn't believe it. Tianhuai was so skilled—how could he have died in an accident? It had to be foul play. So for the past two years, I've been investigating in secret..."

The girl was shocked.

"You... you've been investigating? I also think my brother's death couldn't have been an accident. It must have been intentional."

Mentioning her brother made the icy girl lose her composure.

She started talking more.

"Not yet, but I have some leads. I think I'll have answers soon."

Of course, Jiang Che wouldn't immediately pin the blame on Su Han. Qiangwei wouldn't believe it, so he had to take it step by step.

"Jiang Che... Brother, please, help me find out who killed my brother, okay?"

In her excitement, Bai Qiangwei grabbed Jiang Che's arm with both hands.

Jiang Che, being the lecherous old fox he was, naturally wouldn't miss this chance to take advantage.

He clasped Qiangwei's hands tightly, his expression serious.

"Don't worry. Tianhuai's matter is my matter. You're his sister, so you're like a half-sister to me. I must find out who killed Tianhuai."

Qiangwei's face turned a bit awkward. Her hands were firmly held by Jiang Che.

Aside from her brother, this was the first time a man had held her hands!

Jiang Che was thrilled. The girl's hands were a bit rough, with calluses—something anyone who frequently used guns would recognize.

"By the way, I had someone look into Su Han from your Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps. He recently returned to Dragon Country, right?"

"You investigated Su Han?" Qiangwei's beautiful eyes narrowed.

Jiang Che felt a headache coming on. Was this little fangirl a hopeless romantic?

Please don't let her be like those brain-dead female leads in some romance novels, who forgive the male lead even after he ruins their lives, and then live happily ever after with him.

That would be truly infuriating.

Jiang Che glanced at the girl, his tone turning colder.

"I'm just suspicious of him. As far as I know, after Tianhuai died, he was the only one from the squad who came back alive. Of course, I have every right to suspect him! Even you... I would suspect too."

"Besides, it was Tianhuai who saved me, not anyone else!"

Qiangwei fell silent, as she couldn't refute his words.

"Qiangwei, you need to understand something. The simplest way to judge a case is to see... who stands to gain the most from it."

"I'll keep investigating Su Han. And let me tell you, he's not as good as you think."

Jiang Che was starting to plant seeds of doubt.

The girl instinctively wanted to argue, but the words wouldn't come out.

In her young heart, doubt about Su Han had already begun to take root.

According to Jiang Che... after her brother's death, Su Han was indeed the one who benefited the most, inheriting the position of Wolf King.

[Could it really be Su Han?]

[No, no, no! Absolutely not! Su Han has always been so good to me, and he was like a brother to my own brother. How could he have killed him?]

But once the seed of doubt is planted, it takes root and grows, and the accusation becomes all but certain.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
