[Congratulations, you have obtained the basic information card about the protagonist Dragon King!]
——————
Dragon King Protagonist: Long Haotian
Age: 26
Basic Information: The remaining bloodline of the Long family.
Ten years ago, he took advantage of the chaos to allegedly make the Gong family's young lady give birth to a daughter.
After the Long family was destroyed, he fled abroad and became a mercenary.
Over the years, he has been continuously developing his own power, just a few tests away from becoming the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall!
He has a strong obsession with uncovering the reasons behind his family's destruction and finding his sister and wife and daughter!
——————
After briefly reading the basic information, Mu An was speechless and rubbed his forehead.
The life trajectory of this Dragon King protagonist was truly something!
He knew a little about the Long family.
It was once one of the nine great families of Long Country, and it seemed to have been destroyed ten years ago.
The Dragon King's sister could be confirmed to be his little maid Ning'er.
As for the Gong family's young lady, he would need to investigate further to confirm...
"Old Jiang, help me check all the young ladies from the Gong family over the years, specifically those who have already given birth!"
"What? What do you mean I like married women? And you want to come to my door to matchmake?"
"No, no, no! I just want to understand a little! Really! Just a simple investigation!"
Sweat—
Mu An wiped the sweat that was almost dripping from his forehead.
After much persuasion, he finally managed to explain it to the butler Old Jiang.
He just didn't know how it would be reported to his parents.
The Mu family only had him as the sole heir, and the old man had long since issued a strict order to ensure the family line continued.
His parents were even worse; it seemed they had been trying to find him a fiancée all these years!

[Tomorrow night, Chu Youmeng will be helping someone set up a stall in the commercial snack street, but unexpectedly encounters five unreasonable tattooed men who want to eat for free.]
[The girl musters her courage to argue, but accidentally gets into trouble with the drunken men, who try to drag her into an alley with ulterior motives, threatening anyone who wants to help with their connections.]
[Meanwhile, Bai Zihao, who just signed the purchase contract in the old city area, already knew this would happen. He did not stop it, but when he saw the girl about to be dragged into the alley, he jumped out after waiting for a long time, wanting to be the hero who saves the beauty.]
[After some verbal sparring, he finally managed to delay until the police arrived, preventing both from getting hurt.]
[The girl's favorability towards him increased.]
——————
Old city area renovation and demolition?
Setting up a stall and getting into trouble?
Mu An furrowed his brows, seemingly pondering how to manipulate these two pieces of information.
Knock knock knock—
A gentle knock sounded at the door.
"Young Master, can I come in?"
Ning Er's sweet voice rang out, as pleasant as ever.
"Oh, my lovely little maid, what do you want to do visiting me at this late hour? No matter what it is, I, the Young Master, am willing to accompany you unconditionally!"
Seeing the female lead's tool for earning rewards actively come to him, Mu An, the acting emperor, was ready to go.
He smiled as he pulled the girl inside, then suddenly pinned her against the door.
His dark eyes held a hint of aggression, pretending to be clueless.
Ning Er's pretty face turned bright red.
So close... too close!
She felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
Jump, jump, jump, like a startled deer, jpg.
[From Ning Er's shy emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
[The girl mustered her courage to take a small step forward, deciding to work hard for her own happiness, emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +20]!]
....
A hint of a smile hid deep in Mu An's eyes.
Not bad, truly worthy of being his first little maid!
She even came to deliver emotional rewards right before bed, deserving of praise!
The girl bit her lower lip, seemingly having made a decision.
Today's appearance of Su Zhirou made her feel a significant sense of threat.
Especially thinking about having to live under the same roof as her in the future...
If she were to lose her position in the Young Master's heart because she wasn't proactive, that was something she absolutely could not accept!
After all, she was clearly the one who liked the Young Master the most.
And... she was the one who came first!
"If the Young Master doesn't mind, could you supervise me tonight to complete the punishment task you assigned? Ning Er will definitely count to ten thousand times!"
As she spoke, the girl shyly smiled and began to seriously count the man's name over and over.
Mu An's expression stiffened.
Not good!
Had he shot himself in the foot?
....
Next door.
The phone was ruthlessly hung up.
Su Zhirou's eyes were numb and lifeless, as if all her tears had already been shed.
Only the red rims around her eyes proved that tears had once flooded here!
"For your sick mother, you must learn to endure some grievances for now; I think you will understand!"
"Please trust your father; once I find an opportunity, I will definitely redeem you."
"As for severing our father-daughter relationship, that was a choice made out of necessity; your father still loves you!"
"Stay close to Young Master Mu; that is your opportunity and our family's opportunity. You wouldn't want our family to go bankrupt, would you?"
Her father's words were like sharp knives, piercing her fragile heart with countless wounds!
No matter how sweetly that man spoke, it couldn't cover up the fact that she had been abandoned!
It felt as if she was seeing her father for the first time, so hypocritical and heartless!
Especially thinking about all the efforts she had made for her family and to prevent her father's company from going bankrupt, she had to compromise with that devil, Mu An.
And she had used all her saved pocket money to gamble for a chance to make big money...
All of this was shattered by the cruel reality.
She felt like a ridiculous clown!
Despair and absurdity were like a dark room without lights, slowly consuming her.
The girl curled up, feeling so lonely and helpless.
She even felt that she had no desire to live in this world anymore...
For some reason, she thought of her gentle and kind mother, who was forced to lie in a hospital bed.
Su Zhirou wiped her beautiful eyes, cleaning away the remaining traces of tears, and her gaze gradually became resolute.
No!
It wasn't time for her to give up on herself yet!
Even if that man, who called himself her father, had given up on her.
But for her mother, she couldn't easily give up on herself!
[Backstabbed by family, Su Zhirou begins to darken, deeply harboring resentment, resenting her own incompetence, resenting her father who abandoned her, emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +20,000]!]
[Confirming that she has truly been abandoned by her father, the girl felt despair and immediately thought of death as a way to end it all, but then remembered her mother still lying in bed, forcing herself to become strong, emotional fluctuation +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Sensory Deprivation Torture Card *1]!]
——————
Originally, Su Zhirou was still feeling very upset.
But suddenly, strange sounds came from next door, as if... someone was calling that bastard's name?
Question: When does a woman call a man's name?
Answer: Of course, when...
In an instant, the girl seemed to imagine something, and her pretty face turned rosy.
She wanted to cover her ears to block it out, but for some reason, she felt compelled to listen.
Her heart inexplicably thought that she was now also considered the other party's maid.
Doesn't that mean that one day, she might also be calling his name continuously?
At that moment, the scene would be so beautiful that she was a bit afraid to think further!
Su Zhirou's beautiful eyes widened as she tossed and turned in bed.
That night, some people slept soundly, while others suffered from insomnia!
