"Please, great sir, spare my life! I won't dare anymore. Tomorrow, I'll personally visit Miss Gao's house to apologize. I'll repay the debt, I swear—ten times, a hundred times over!" Wang Biao pleaded desperately, hoping for mercy.

Xiao Tiance gave Wang Biao a deep look and said, "You should be thankful that I don't want to reveal my identity in front of my wife right now. Break one of your arms. Remember to apologize to my wife tomorrow, but don't mention anything about tonight. As for the debt, repay it according to the bank's interest rate. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Biao was overjoyed. He kowtowed repeatedly to Xiao Tiance, "Yes, sir, I understand! Thank you for sparing my life, thank you for sparing my life!" After bowing for a while, he picked up a steel pipe from the ground and smashed it onto his left arm, breaking it instantly. He endured the pain silently, not because he didn't want to scream, but because he didn't dare make a sound.

As for the female secretary next to him, she had fainted in fear when Shi Qian was killed. Even if she woke up, she would probably never dare to speak of what happened tonight.

Not only her, even Long Jiu, a top figure who had fought his way to prominence in Beijiang City, was trembling with fear at this moment. He knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Xiao Tiance.

Xiao Tiance nodded and stood up. He glanced at Long Jiu, who was kneeling beside Tianyi, and asked Tianyi, "Who is he?"

Before Tianyi could answer, Long Jiu hurriedly replied with utmost respect, "Sir, I am Long Jiu."

"Ah, so you are Long Jiu. You did well with the task this morning. Stand up, we're all on the same side. Assist Tianyi well during this period. If you do a good job, you may have the chance to join us," Xiao Tiance nodded.

Long Jiu was overjoyed, his eyes glowing with excitement. He quickly stood up and bowed again to Xiao Tiance, "Thank you, sir! In the future, if you need anything in Beijiang, I will go through fire and water to fulfill your command!"

Xiao Tiance paused slightly and said, "Well, there is something you can do. I was going to have Tianyi inform you and Jiang Beichen to handle it, but since you're here now, you can take care of it. The Gao family has given my wife three tasks. The first one was completed tonight. The second is that the Gao family wants my wife to secure three business partners for them. You take care of it, and the sooner, the better. But remember, do not reveal my identity!"

Long Jiu nodded respectfully, "Yes, sir! Don't worry, I'll arrange it immediately!"

"Good," Xiao Tiance nodded.

He then turned to Tianyi and said, "Brother, you've worked hard during this time."

Tianyi smiled, "Big brother, what are you talking about? My life belongs to you. The thing I want most in this life is to be able to follow you forever, without regret."

Xiao Tiance patted Tianyi heavily on the shoulder and said, "Good brother! Handle things here. I can't stay out for too long. Oh, by the way, Xiaoxiao mentioned she wants you to visit her. If you're free tomorrow, come to my house. I'll send you the address later."

Tianyi nodded, and Xiao Tiance left. He couldn't stay out for too long, and his true identity could never be easily revealed. If the world knew that the master of the Heavenly Temple was here, this city would be in chaos and never find peace again.

Although it seemed like a long time, Xiao Tiance had been out for only about an hour. When he returned, Gao Weiwei and Xiaoxiao were still sound asleep. Without thinking much, he also went to bed.

What he didn't know was that just as he opened the door and entered the house, in another room, Gao Xiaoying, who had been sleeping under the covers, opened her eyes again. She glanced at her phone and seemed to be deep in thought.

The next morning, after Xiao Tiance, Gao Weiwei, and their family finished breakfast, Gao Weiwei was ready to go out again to demand the money from Wang Biao. She was determined that no matter what, she could no longer be looked down upon by her family. Her thought was that if she couldn't be accepted by the Gao family again, then Xiao Tiance had no chance at all. So, no matter what, she was going to the Wang family to get the money back!

However, this time Gao Xiaoying insisted on going with her. Gao Weiwei didn't object, so Xiao Tiance took Xiaoxiao downstairs to see them off. When they reached the ground floor, Tianyi arrived.

"Sister-in-law," Tianyi greeted Gao Weiwei before turning to Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, Uncle's here to see you. Look, Uncle brought you a toy. Do you like it?" Tianyi handed Xiaoxiao a pink bubble machine, which produced colorful bubbles with the press of a button, shining beautifully in the sunlight.

Xiaoxiao instantly liked it but hesitated to take it, looking towards Gao Weiwei for approval. Seeing her daughter so happy, Gao Weiwei smiled and nodded, "Xiaoxiao, aren't you going to thank Uncle Tianyi?"

Only then did Xiaoxiao quickly grab the bubble machine, smiling sweetly at Tianyi, "Thank you, Uncle Tianyi."

Xiao Tiance also said to Gao Weiwei and Gao Xiaoying, "Weiwei, Xiaoying, go ahead. Tianyi and I will take Xiaoxiao to the park for a while. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

Xiaoxiao waved her little fist at Gao Weiwei, "Mom, good luck! Good luck!"

Gao Weiwei smiled and nodded at Xiao Tiance before leaving with Gao Xiaoying. However, no one noticed that when Gao Xiaoying left, she sneaked a glance at Xiao Tiance and Tianyi, especially Tianyi. She made a mental note of his appearance because yesterday she had secretly asked Xiaoxiao who Xiao Tiance had called when he went upstairs to find Gao Weiwei. Xiaoxiao had mentioned Uncle Tianyi.

About ten minutes later, on the bus, Gao Weiwei asked Gao Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, what's wrong? Why were you secretly looking at Tianyi just now?"

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Gao Xiaoying was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, sis. I was just curious. Oh, by the way, it's not even nine o'clock yet. Are we heading straight to Wang's company?"

Gao Weiwei's face darkened, and after biting her lip and taking a deep breath, she said, "Yes, let's head there now. Yesterday, I didn't even see Wang Biao. I was just chased out by his men. Today, I'll block him at the entrance of his company! I want to see…"

As Gao Weiwei was speaking, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she hesitated to answer, but the phone kept ringing, so she eventually picked it up.

As soon as Gao Weiwei answered the phone and heard a few words from the person on the other end, her expression became incredibly strange, and she hung up immediately. After Gao Weiwei hung up, Gao Xiaoying asked her, “Sis, what’s wrong? Who called you? You don’t look quite right.”

Frowning, Gao Weiwei replied, “Xiaoying, let’s get off at the next stop. Wang Biao said he’s coming to see me, and I can’t figure out why he suddenly called. Anyway, let’s meet him first.”

A shiver ran through Gao Xiaoying, and a thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it. She didn’t say anything else and just followed Gao Weiwei off the bus when it stopped. The two then found a spacious spot to wait for Wang Biao to arrive.

About ten minutes after they got off the bus, Wang Biao arrived in a black Mercedes. He hurriedly got out of the car, holding a folder, and ran up to Gao Weiwei, sweating profusely.

Seeing Wang Biao come in person, although she didn’t know what he wanted, Gao Weiwei quickly responded politely, “Mr. Wang, you didn’t need to come in person. I was planning to come to see you anyway. You didn’t have to go out of your way.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Biao’s cold sweat intensified. He thought to himself how lucky he was to have come in person; otherwise, he would have been in deep trouble. You really don’t know who your husband truly is, do you?

At this point, Wang Biao almost felt like crying. He hurriedly smiled respectfully and said to Gao Weiwei, “Miss Gao, what are you talking about? I’ve been delaying the repayment of the debt I owe your family for years, which is my fault. I was out of town yesterday and heard that one of my subordinates even laid a hand on you. I feel terrible about it. I’ve already transferred 2.34 million yuan to your company’s account, and the extra 340,000 is interest. I came here today to personally apologize to you for what happened yesterday. I’m truly sorry, Miss Gao. I sincerely apologize.”

Gao Weiwei was stunned by his words and instinctively asked, “Mr. Wang, did you just say you’ve already transferred the money?”

Wang Biao immediately pulled out his phone and showed her a screenshot of the transfer, saying, “Yes, Miss Gao, here’s the bank transfer screenshot. Just inform your company’s finance department later. Oh, and to show my sincerity, I’ve brought a new agreement. Our family would like to establish a long-term cooperation with yours from now on. We want all your products. To prevent any issues like before, if you sign this agreement now, I’ll transfer the full payment for this year’s goods immediately. How does that sound?”

After saying this, Wang Biao handed the agreement to Gao Weiwei and opened the transfer function on his phone. He was ready to transfer the money as soon as Gao Weiwei signed.

Still in a daze, Gao Weiwei instinctively looked through the contract. It was simple and didn’t contain anything suspicious. After reading it, she looked at Wang Biao in confusion and asked, “Mr. Wang, do you really want to continue working with us? And you’re willing to pay in advance?”

Wang Biao didn’t say anything but immediately transferred one million yuan to Gao’s company account right in front of her. Only then did he say, “Miss Gao, you see, I’ve already transferred the money. It was my mistake in the past, but I promise our cooperation will have no issues in the future! Please, just sign the contract.”

Stunned, Gao Weiwei signed the contract. Although the contract was in her hands and Wang Biao had indeed paid the entire year’s payment in advance, she still felt like she was dreaming. After all, she had been turned away just yesterday, and now this big boss had personally come over, not only paying off the debt but also renewing the cooperation?

Wang Biao finally breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief when he saw Gao Weiwei sign the contract. However, his subtle expression was noticed by Gao Xiaoying, who had been watching him closely.

“Mr. Wang, do you know my brother-in-law, Xiao Tiance?” Gao Xiaoying suddenly asked out of nowhere.

Wang Biao’s body immediately tensed, and cold sweat dripped down his face as his complexion paled. But he quickly frowned and looked at Gao Xiaoying, asking with deep confusion, “Xiao Tiance? Your brother-in-law? Who is that? Does he know me?”

Gao Xiaoying gave Wang Biao a deep look, sensing that he didn’t seem to be lying. She frowned as well and said, “Oh, never mind. By the way, Mr. Wang, what happened to your arm and head? Why are you bandaged?”

It was only then that Gao Weiwei noticed Wang Biao did indeed seem to be injured.

Seeing the two women looking at him, Wang Biao quickly put on a bitter expression and sighed deeply, saying, “Ah, don’t even mention it. I had terrible luck and crashed into a utility pole the day before yesterday. Anyway, Miss Gao, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. I still have some matters to attend to.”

As Wang Biao was about to leave, Gao Xiaoying quickly asked, “Mr. Wang, how do you plan to handle the fact that your employee, Shi Qian, slapped my sister yesterday?”

“Xiaoying! Be quiet! Don’t say anything more!” Gao Weiwei quickly glared at her. Then she hurriedly said to Wang Biao, “Mr. Wang, please don’t mind her. She’s just a kid who doesn’t know how to speak properly.”

But Gao Weiwei’s words only made Wang Biao even more nervous. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No problem, Miss Gao. I’ll fire that Shi Qian as soon as I return. I won’t keep such an employee around. Please, carry on with your work. I’ll take my leave now.”

Without waiting for Gao Weiwei to speak again, Wang Biao quickly ran off, thinking to himself that he had almost let something slip. Gao Weiwei was fine, but that Gao Xiaoying was really hard to deal with. Thankfully, he reacted quickly. Once he was back in his car and driving away, Wang Biao finally dared to breathe heavily, relieved that he had responded in time.

After Wang Biao left, Gao Weiwei frowned and said to Gao Xiaoying, “Xiaoying! Why did you speak so harshly? Do you think Wang Biao is someone to mess with? If he were a good person, would he have delayed paying our company for so many years? You’re still too young. You need to be more careful with your words in the future.”

Gao Xiaoying looked at Gao Weiwei strangely and said, “Sis, don’t you find it odd? You just said that Wang Biao isn’t a good person and that he’s been delaying payment for years. So why did he suddenly give you the money today? And why was he so generous in signing a new contract?”

Gao Weiwei was also taken aback by this and frowned, saying, “Hmm, you’re right. It is strange. I was so focused on signing the contract that I didn’t think much about it. Wait, did you ask Wang Biao if he knows your brother-in-law because you suspect your brother-in-law went to see him?”

Gao Xiaoying nodded, then shook her head, saying, “I’m not sure. Last night after you fell asleep, my brother-in-law went out for about an hour. But when I just tested Wang Biao to see if he knew my brother-in-law, his reaction didn’t seem fake, so I’m still uncertain.”

Gao Weiwei frowned even more deeply, looking in the direction of the apartment they were renting, and murmured to herself, “Xiao Tiance, was it you who helped me?”
