8. The atmosphere turned slightly colder

"The suspects who killed your grandmother is in our hands. It turns out, there is someone behind them. It is not about stealing money from you Xinghe that they appear right after the Alpha squad guard that is protecting you disappeared."

Lu Xinghe felt like world is crumbling. She is basically shaking from anger that is rising in her heart.

"Who?"

"Will you be able to take it if I drop someone?"

"Who!?" Xinghe asked coldly.

The atmosphere turned slightly colder. Old Master Yu is stunned seeing the aura the little girl in front of him can emanate.

"You already know who, you just have to accept it."

"Because of that title? They can go this far? That is their grandmother! Why would they kill her!? Why!?" the sobs are agonizing for anyone to hear.

It shatters the heart of Old Master Yu.

The heart of humans have many variables that constantly changes, it is truly an amazing features the humans have.

One day they love you, the next day they hate you.

It is the organ people didn't notice powerful, the way it felt something scratches your whole being to do anything to put it at ease.

Matriarch Liao is their family, but when their heart's desire is wealth and power, they did everything to eliminate all the hindrance to what they want.

"What do you want to do?"

"Bring my grandma back!"

"Xiao Xing"

Lu Xinghe looks up and kneels.

"Uncle, help me, I want them to be punished. I want my grandma to be at ease, they have to pay the price of killing my grandma"

Lu Xinghe is sobbing on her knees. She wants to do something but she don't know how, she is just a 13 years old little kid that only knows how to gamble but she can't also let them go unpunished.

"Get up!" Old Master Yu shouts at him, Lu Xinghe is startled, her sobs stopped. Her hair stood at its end because of the atmosphere that turned colder all of a sudden. Being able to look at his uncle, she immediately stand up because of his cold dark eyes.

"You must not kneel. Never to anyone, never for anything. Do you understand?"

Lu Xinghe nods.

"You have no rights to cry in front of people. You have to be the strongest you can be. Don't let them see a single tear from you. Always stand your ground, never let other people waver you. Do you understand?"

Lu Xinghe nods.

"From now on, you won't be able to attend to University or school, you will have your own private tutor. They will teach you everything you need to learn, including hacking and computer-related topics. Ok?"

"Yes, uncle"

The face of Old Master Yu softened. He never once had a daughter, he only has one son who is either stupid or a blabbermouth. But seeing someone he can treat as her daughter, her heart rejoiced.

"Xiao Xing, you must understand that uncle is just doing this for your own good, you must have heart as hard as stone.We are now your new family and any member of a Yu family is not a weakling. Do you understand?"

Lu Xinghe looks up at him, she will try, she knows that all of the things he said is true, the Yu family is a big family that kills other people for a living. They are assassins and mercenaries but she knows that they just do it to bad people, but again they are still killing people.Old Master Yu Liqiang seems to read her mind as to what lies in her face is doubts, confusion and sadness.

"Our Yu family mercenaries which is Tiger Alliance isn't all about killing people, we kill when we can save people, we always make sure that our perspectives in life is align to what is good for most beings, we kill bad people but also save good ones. We save good people by protecting them from bad ones. That's how our Yu family works."

"The rich people I watched on television is all about money and power, it's dog eat dog world for them, how can you retain this position when most of the rich people are bad? Isn't it mean that they are all your enemies?"

Yu Liqiang chuckle, indeed this one is one hell of couragement and innocence.

"Not all the things you watch on television is true, people of higher position in pyramid didn't really deem that money is important, you know they sometimes struggle to get their true dreams than handling their parent's business, the loveless marriage that they have to endure for business and ended up on cheating, the complicated family tree of those who have many offsprings to their mistress. They are complicated, but what we are talking about is the well being of this family and the well being of society, once someone harm either the two, then that someone will be pay the price. But for know, you have to get ready because you have to buy clothes and things that you will need. Ushi suggested to buy on your own than to prepare it by the maids so you can go outside. Just be careful, I will let Ushi go with you since he's the one that said that."

"Yes uncle thank you"

"It will be ok. Just be strong Xiao Xing"

"Mm"

Lu Xinghe stopped herself from crying after exiting at the study of Uncle Yu, but tears isn't something she can stop any moment. Her heart is really painful, even if the facade she display is really good, her heart is really painful, her grandmother died because of that company, she can't just accept it when her relatives did all these things, crying and stopping herself to make a sound she wipes of all the tears in her eyes and proceeded to get ready. Maybe buying something would at least ease my mind. I cannot just cry here when it won't give results. I'll let them pay grandma.

Their hell would be on earth.
