Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches
Vol. 1 - Ch. 324 - It's your turn

If this had been before he came to this world, HuMing would’ve never believed a word of what Kang Xin just said. But now? He couldn’t deny it.

After all, his own existence was already the best proof.

Would HuMin come to this world too?

The answer was—yes. The chances were slim, but HuMing still chose to believe. And more importantly, Kang Xin had said it herself: that HuMin was incredibly mature and skilled at handling all kinds of situations.

If it weren’t her—if it were just some ordinary person—how could she possibly be so familiar with everything?

Let’s not forget, even HuMing himself had been pulled out of that black prison by HuMin back then.

It was hard to imagine what she’d gone through at the time.

But if she really did make it here… then with her personality, she’d definitely be doing everything she could to survive.

And above all else—she once said she didn’t want to live the life of a killer anymore.

In truth, HuMing was deeply influenced by that.

He was also yearning for a place to rest. Somewhere safe. Somewhere still.

“Kang Xin, so what you said before… was it all true? You really saw Bai XingQi shoot at HuMin with your own eyes?”

Kang Xin, meeting HuMing’s gaze, suddenly realized something.

The boy in front of her wasn’t the old HuMing—but rather someone named HuMing inside this body.

And yet, she still liked this version of him. Very much so.

Then if HuMing could appear in this body… didn’t that mean HuMin might’ve gone through the same thing?

If she followed that line of thought—then everything HuMin had done before would start to make sense.

Kang Xin slowly lifted her head and looked at HuMing. Instead of answering his question right away, she countered with one of her own.

“That HuMin… is she someone you knew? Or rather, someone important to you?”

“Yes. She was my mentor. Someone who means a great deal to me.”

HuMing didn’t hide anything from Kang Xin.

She already knew his secret. He trusted her completely.

“Bai XingQi really did shoot at HuMin. But I didn’t see what happened after that. If you want the whole truth… you’ll have to ask Bai XingQi yourself.”

“You’re right. The root of all this still goes back to that organization—‘Blizzard.’ If that group had never existed, JingDu wouldn’t have been thrown into this chaos. But now, ‘Blizzard’ won’t be showing up in JingDu again.”

HuMing plucked out the apple’s core and handed the rest to Kang Xin.

His turn was over. Now, it all depended on what move Shi Zhong would make.

His eyes were sharp, countless strategies flickering through his mind.

…

“Mm-hmm. The Bai family’s been raided, ‘Blizzard’ is wiped out, and Bai XingQi’s whereabouts are still unknown. As for the Xia family—well, that useless chauffeur’s son still hasn’t managed to take control. I guess he really is a lost cause,” Shi Zhong sighed, sounding vaguely wistful.

He shook his head and turned to look out the window at the raging sea. A violent storm was tearing through the skies, dark clouds devouring every last trace of light.

The towering trees outside bent and groaned under the force of the wind, looking ready to topple at any moment.

“But that’s fine. The fact that he managed to leak Xia GaoWu’s files is good enough. I never expected him to actually take over the Xia family anyway.”

From the very beginning, Shi Zhong never had any illusions about controlling the Xia family.

What could a chauffeur’s son possibly do to claim his master’s entire estate? Unless he got Xia Chen under his thumb… and that clearly hadn’t happened.

That had failed.

“But that file Xia GaoWu kept hidden for so long—it finally served its purpose. And I went to great lengths to get that evidence out there. The better protected it is, the more convincing it becomes. Now, the Bai family’s gone, the Xia family’s crumbled, and ‘Blizzard’ has been annihilated. That leaves just the Shi family and the Gu family in JingDu. And since the Gu family had ties to ‘Blizzard,’ they’re being dragged down too. What a glorious mess…” Shi Zhong laughed heartily.

He turned to the painting behind him and shook his head.

“What a pity. You’re not here to see this scene unfold. Otherwise… you probably would’ve done the same thing you did back in ‘No Man’s Land’—you’d have destroyed everything I planned.”

Shi Zhong stared at the painting, his grip tightening little by little until—

Snap!

The wineglass in his hand shattered, shards falling to the carpet below. Crimson wine soaked into the fabric like blood, and from his palm, a red liquid trickled down—whether it was wine or actual blood was hard to tell.

It looked disturbingly alike.

“There’s no point thinking about what-ifs anymore. Even if you were here… I wouldn’t let you do a damn thing.”

Shi Zhong casually pulled out a handkerchief and began wiping his hand clean. Just then, a sharp ringtone cut through the silence.

He walked slowly to the phone and picked it up.

“Hello? What is it?”

“Mr. Shi, something’s happened with the Xia family. It looks like the Gu family might be trying to help them stabilize the situation.”

“Oh, that’s expected. After losing one ally, the Gu family needs another. And what’s left of the Xia family—just two kids now—they’re the easiest to manipulate.”

“I also heard… Xia Chen’s planning to take control of the family himself. He’s purging everyone around him—even the old butler.”

Shi Zhong’s brow furrowed deeply. He hadn’t expected Xia Chen to go this far.

Still, a mere child posed no real threat to him. Even if the kid had talent, what he lacked most now… was time.

“There’s one more thing I need to report.”

“Go on.”

“Gu WeiJun has started sending people to track your whereabouts. He might be getting suspicious.”

“That’s fine. I still have two trump cards. Gu WeiJun’s not worth worrying about.”

From Shi Zhong’s point of view, he still held all the cards.

To put it bluntly—“how do you lose when you’re already riding a dragon?”

The caller fell silent. Shi Zhong, bored of the conversation, was about to hang up—when suddenly, a new voice came through the line.

“You sound so confident. From the very beginning—‘Blizzard’s’ earliest days—you were planning all of this. Bai XingQi’s rise, JingDu’s chaos… all according to your script.”

There was a tinge of regret in the voice, like the speaker couldn’t help but feel a touch of helpless admiration.

Shi Zhong’s hand tightened around the table.

This was a secure line. Only insiders had access.

So where did this woman’s voice come from?

“…May I ask who you are?”

Outside, the wind howled.

The voice on the other end gave a low chuckle.

“With a storm like this outside, your knee shouldn’t be hurting anymore, right? After all… you’re not the same person anymore.”

Shi Zhong’s eyes narrowed.

His breath caught in his chest.

There was only one woman who could say something like that.

“…HuMin. You… you’re not dead…”
