Han Zhenyu’s jaw tightened.
"Then we wait."
His uncle turned around.
"We should destroy every connection to the operation."
"I already ordered it."
"The security director?"
"Handling it."
"The shell companies?"
"Being dissolved."
"The attackers?"
Han Zhenyu remained silent.
His uncle understood.
"You had them eliminated?"
"They were expendable."
A voice came from the doorway.
"They’re alive."
Both men froze.
Shen Yan stood inside the study.
The door behind her remained closed.
Neither had heard it open.
Han Zhenyu slowly reached beneath his desk.
Shen Yan’s gaze moved toward his hand.
"Don’t."
He stopped.
His uncle stared at her.
"Who are you?"
She looked at him.
"Shen Tian’s sister."
Han Zhenyu’s face lost its color.
His uncle recovered first.
"This is private property."
"You ordered an attack on my brother."
"You have no evidence."
"I have the attackers."
Silence.
"They confessed." Han Zhenyu’s fingers tightened around the edge of the desk.
His uncle’s eyes narrowed.
"What do you want?"
Shen Yan stepped forward.
"For you to understand what you’ve done."
Han Zhenyu suddenly pulled a handgun from beneath the desk.
He aimed directly at her.
Bang!
The gunshot echoed through the study.
A painting behind Shen Yan tore apart.
She was no longer standing in front of it.
Han Zhenyu’s eyes widened.
She appeared beside the desk. Her hand closed around the gun.
Metal bent between her fingers.
The weapon became useless.
She dropped it.
Han Zhenyu staggered backward.
"Stay away!"
"You sent men to ram a vehicle carrying my brother."
Shen Yan took another step.
"You told them to leave no survivors."
Another.
"You wanted my father to hear about his son’s death while he was overseas."
Her eyes darkened.
"You wanted MY little Tian to become a message."
Han Zhenyu’s uncle moved between them.
"This was a dispute between families."
Shen Yan looked at him with open disgust.
"My brother is not a business dispute."
The uncle gathered Qi around his palm.
He struck.
Shen Yan caught his wrist.
The impact cracked the floor beneath them.
His eyes widened.
"Domain Initiation..."
She twisted his arm and forced him to his knees.
"No."
The pressure around her increased.
His face became pale.
"Beyond..."
She released him.
He collapsed, clutching his arm.
Shen Yan had not come to kill everyone in the mansion.
She had come to end the Han Family’s ability to threaten Shen Tian ever again.
That required more than bodies.
It required destruction.
By sunrise...
Every major Han Family account had been frozen.
Documents exposing years of bribery, illegal surveillance, smuggling, and corporate sabotage had been delivered anonymously to the authorities.
Their private security director had been arrested while attempting to flee the country.
The shell corporation used to finance the attack was exposed.
The attackers’ recorded confessions were sent to the police.
Executives who had knowingly participated received copies of the evidence against them, along with one instruction.
Testify.
Those who had no involvement were given the opportunity to leave.
The Han Family’s allies abandoned them before breakfast.
Their banks withdrew support.
Their business partners suspended contracts.
Their stock value collapsed the moment the evidence became public.
Police vehicles surrounded the estate.
Investigators entered carrying warrants.
Han Zhenyu was taken away in handcuffs.
His uncle followed.
The Han patriarch, who had known nothing about the plan until it was too late, watched his family’s empire disintegrate around him.
He looked toward Shen Yan as officers escorted his son away.
"You’ve destroyed us."
Shen Yan stood at the edge of the estate courtyard.
The morning wind moved through her long white hair.
"No."
She looked toward Han Zhenyu.
"He destroyed you."
Her gaze returned to the patriarch.
"I simply made sure the consequences reached everyone responsible."
The old man trembled with anger.
"You’ve turned one of the four great families into nothing overnight."
Shen Yan’s expression remained cold.
"You attacked the wrong person."
Then she turned away.
Behind her...
The Han Family crest was removed from the mansion gates.
Their influence... Their reputation... Their protection... Everything they had used to believe themselves untouchable... Was gone.
At the Shen Family mansion...
Shen Tian sat at the dining table eating breakfast.
Xu Ning floated beside him.
[Host.]
"Hm?"
[The Han Family has collapsed.]
Shen Tian paused with his cup halfway to his mouth.
"...That was fast."
[Their second son has been arrested.]
[Several senior members are under investigation.]
[Their companies are being seized or abandoned.]
[Evidence connecting them to yesterday’s attack has reached the authorities.]
Shen Tian slowly lowered his cup.
"...That’s my sister for you... It’s nice not having to do anything for once!"
The front doors opened.
Shen Yan entered.
She had changed clothes.
Her hair had been neatly brushed.
Not a single trace of the previous night’s events remained on her.
The moment she saw Shen Tian...
Her cold expression melted.
"Little Tian!"
She hurried toward him.
Shen Tian barely had time to stand before she embraced him.
"Big Sis."
She rested her head against his chest.
"I came home like I promised."
He looked down at her.
"...What did you do?"
Shen Yan looked up innocently.
"I answered the police’s questions."
Xu Ning shook her head.
Shen Tian stared.
"That took all night?"
"There were many questions."
"..." Shen Yan tightened her arms around him.
"Does anything hurt this morning?"
"No."
"Are you certain?"
"Yes."
"Did you sleep properly?"
"I did."
"Did the doctor call?"
"They said I’m fine."
She finally relaxed.
Then Shen Tian sighed.
"The Han Family collapsed."
Shen Yan blinked.
"How unfortunate."
"...Big Sis."
"Yes, little Tian?"
"You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?"
She smiled sweetly.
"They tried to hurt you."
That was not an answer.
It was also a complete answer.
Shen Tian rubbed his forehead.
"You didn’t kill everyone, did you?"
"Of course not."
Her expression became serious.
"Most members knew nothing about the attack. Employees and uninvolved relatives were allowed to leave. The people responsible are alive."
Shen Tian looked surprised.
"They are?"
"They’ll stand trial."
She smiled again.
"They’ll have many years to think about what they did."
Xu Ning nodded approvingly.
[Host, she dismantled their entire family without creating unnecessary casualties.]
[It was remarkably efficient and will bring nothing bad to the Shen family.]
Shen Tian looked at his sister.
’Well... I would’ve killed them,’ he thought to himself.
Shen Yan leaned against him once more, smiling as though she had merely returned from an evening walk.
"You really haven’t changed." she closed her eyes happily. "I’ll always protect you."
Across the room...
A maid quietly entered carrying tea.
Shen Yan opened one eye.
Her loving smile disappeared.
The maid immediately stiffened.
Shen Tian turned his head.
"Could you bring another cup for my sister?"
"Of course, Young Master."
The maid hurried away.
When Shen Tian looked back...
Shen Yan was smiling warmly once again.
"Thank you, little Tian."
He shook his head.
Behind that affectionate expression...
Shen Yan made a silent promise.
The Han Family had been the first.
Anyone else who attempted to harm her little brother...
Would receive the same lesson.
Power could be taken.
Empires could collapse.
Families that believed themselves untouchable could disappear overnight.
Shen Tian was the only person she treasured.
Everyone else...
Would learn to keep their distance.
