Chapter 4: The Gu Family Twins

"Really? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Although Gu Liunian was somewhat surprised to see Mother Gui, who used to be in the Qingfeng Courtyard, appearing here, the immense joy of becoming a father for the first time had already made him giddy. He didn't notice the bloodstains on Mother Gui and strode toward Du Wan on the bed.

Mother Gui did not stop him. She only heard Du Wan say from behind, "Husband, this is wonderful. Twins, a boy and a girl. Do you like them?"

After that, she carried the basin of bloody water out of the courtyard.

That same evening, just as the Old Matriarch of the Gu family learned that the Second Young Mistress in the Songfeng Courtyard had given birth to a pair of twins—something the Gu family had not seen in hundreds of years—and had rushed over to visit, her personal bodyguard, Black Hawk, walked in. In front of everyone, he informed her that the wet nurse of the wicked woman Mu Ya had already taken the bastard she birthed and jumped off a bottomless cliff.

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence! Du Wan looked toward the baby girl in Gu Liunian's arms with a panicked expression. But unexpectedly, that one glance struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her sitting there, clutching the baby boy in her arms, completely unresponsive.

Logically, a newborn baby should rarely open its eyes, and even if it did, it would only be with a unfocused, vacant, and ignorant gaze. Yet, the moment Black Hawk’s words fell, the light flickering in the infant's eyes was as clear and sharp as that of a wise person who had experienced the world, possessing an intimidating edge.

With just one look, Du Wan could clearly feel that this was absolutely not something a newborn baby should possess.

That’s right! Such a gaze could certainly not belong to a newborn, because this baby girl was a soul from another world, arriving with the memories of her past life.

Ye Lingsha, the number one seed of the BIG Group, a formidable woman who possessed both beauty and intelligence, once set a fierce record by dismantling all of the BIG Group's rivals within a single month.

However, the reason she could be so arrogant was entirely due to her innate supernatural ability. Her power was such that she didn't need any weapons to kill her opponents; she only needed her eyes!

That’s right, her eyes. If she wanted to kill someone, she only needed to focus her intent, and that person would inevitably explode and die within ten paces of her. It was precisely because of this that the BIG Group dubbed her their number one seed.

Unfortunately, as the BIG Group grew larger, they were no longer satisfied with Ye Lingsha’s ability to kill only within ten paces. Thus, they injected her with the newly developed A&B serum, allowing her innate ability to reach a level capable of destroying an entire city within a mere three months.

Ye Lingsha was naturally ecstatic about all of this. However, during one mission, because a high-ranking official within the BIG Group wanted to protect a rival, she flew into a rage and killed him directly through the wireless current of a video feed. It was only then that the leaders of the BIG Group realized that this number one seed might one day become a ticking time bomb that would destroy the BIG Group itself.

Consequently, those high-ranking officials began trying to develop a weapon to counter Ye Lingsha. Of course, Ye Lingsha was unaware of all this, until the day Dr. John, who had been injecting her with the serum, told her that he wanted to extract some samples from her body. Only then did she realize that the company might be planning to clone a new Ye Lingsha to replace her.
