Chapter 1107: Family Head, It’s All Settled!

The person on the other end seemed to be waiting for her call, the phone was picked up the moment it was dialed.

"A Jin, when are you coming back?"

A husky, deep voice, laced with a bit of laziness and fatigue, sounded from the phone receiver.

This seductive, alluring voice struck directly in Gu Jin’s ear.

The familiar voice made her feel electrified all over.

Gu Jin seriously suspected that this brat was using his voice to flirt with her ears.

From an angle where no one around could see, Gu Jin rolled her eyes dramatically, her voice calm as she said, "Looks like you’re home. I just finished over here, planning to check on the Yin Family first. If you’re tired, just sleep first?"

On the other end of the call, there was a moment of silence.

It might have been three seconds, or ten, or a minute, or even longer.

Gu Jin’s hair was blown into disarray by the night wind, and she smoothed and tucked it behind her ear.

Soon, An Mingji’s voice sounded again, "A Jin, come back first, something happened."

His deep voice was no longer lazy, but carried a hint of solemnity.

Gu Jin’s smiling lips unknowingly pursed.

She glanced at the members of the Wanqi Family, her voice gentle with a hint of reassurance, "I’m heading home right away, should be back in about half an hour."

An Mingji’s voice carried a smile, "I’ll have Kasi prepare a late-night snack for you, waiting for you at home."

"Alright, wait for me obediently."

Gu Jin ended the call, turned to Wanqi Yanghong and his son, and said, "I won’t go with you guys, Xiao An is waiting for me at home."

"Then I’ll arrange someone to send Little Ninth back."

Wanqi Yanghong raised his hand, about to signal a car parked not far away.

As soon as he raised his hand, Gu Jin intervened: "No need, someone is coming to pick me up."

Just as she finished speaking, a low-profile black sedan emerged from the darkness.

Allen, with his distinctive golden hair, stepped out from the driver’s seat.

He was handsome and mature, a man with great charm.

Allen walked gracefully to Gu Jin, first greeted her, then opened the back door facing her, "Miss Gu, please get in."

Gu Jin waved goodbye to the Wanqi father and son, "I’m off, contact me by phone if there’s anything."

"Alright, take care, Little Ninth."

"Master, take care——"

They watched as the car Gu Jin was in drove away, and only after the vehicle disappeared from sight did the Wanqi father and son turn around, get in their car, and quickly leave the area.

...

Beijing East Gate South Street.

Courtyard number eighty-eight, not far from Chen Palace.

An Mingji stood on the balcony, his silhouette like a painting, quiet and beautiful, his profile in the moonlight was like a perfect Greek sculpture.

The young man, staring forward, was lost in thought.

In the courtyard, Duoduo was playing by the pond, occasionally making joyous cooing sounds.

It seemed the sound of joy disturbed An Mingji’s thoughts, his black eyes shifted slightly, the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.

Kasi, polishing items in the living room, occasionally glanced up with a worried expression, observing An Mingji, who wore minimal clothing on the balcony.

The worried gaze behind him could not go unnoticed by An Mingji.

He stood still for quite a while before finally turning around, walking with elegant steps into the living room, casually placing his phone on the table.

Kasi immediately approached, "Family Head, it’s so late, are you waiting for Miss Gu?"

An Mingji nodded slightly, "Yes, A Jin will be home soon. Kasi, please prepare some easily digestible snacks for her."

"Family Head, you are too kind. It’s all part of my duty."

Kasi put down the cloth he was using to polish, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

An Mingji sat down in front of the sofa, his legs crossed comfortably, leaning back against the sofa in a very relaxed and lazy posture.

Kasi hadn’t been in the kitchen long when a foreign woman walked in from outside.

She was alluring in figure, not conservatively dressed like most in Hua Country, even in the chilly transition between winter and spring, she dressed thinly and sensually.

With her burgundy hair, every move she made was filled with a unique sensuality and allure of a woman.

The woman’s aura and the ferocity in her eyes would make it hard for anyone to see her as just a superficial beauty.

This woman appeared to be extremely shrewd and capable, her footsteps light and soundless, indicating her remarkable skills.

The Darwin Family was well aware of her; her capabilities were second only to Allen.

This woman was the personal maid by the side of the family head of the Darwin Family for every generation, akin to Kasi’s current position.

Before being sent to the family head, they all survived multiple brutal tests, battles of life and death, with every surviving maid being exceptionally skilled.

But for some reason, An Mingji had her arranged under Allen’s supervision, using her abilities to best advantage, not wasting such a good talent.

Linda, before An Mingji formally became the head of the Darwin Family, had stayed by his side for a period.

Later, due to causing misunderstandings about him having a foreign girlfriend, even landing him briefly in the police station, which led people to believe his love life was chaotic, making Gu Jin think he had a girlfriend. Only then did An Mingji have her sent away.

Occasionally, when Allen was away, he would entrust matters to Linda.

It is undeniable that Linda was an excellent helper, her abilities outstanding, unmatched in combat or family affairs.

"Family Head, it’s all done!"

Linda approached An Mingji, bowed slightly, her tone respectful.

She was like an obedient Persian cat, retracting all her sharpness and fierce aura.

At this moment, she was just a harmless, sensual beauty, whose mere presence would make any man’s heart skip a beat, even imagining countless extreme scenarios of spending a wonderful night with her.

They would never imagine how much blood and how many lives her hands were stained with.

An Mingji’s slender, fair fingers gently tapped on the sofa, almost silently.

But with his actions, Linda couldn’t help but feel her heartbeat slow.

She unconsciously swallowed, waiting for instructions from the younger man now in charge.

Linda dared not underestimate the newly appointed family head, having witnessed his methods firsthand over the past two years, finding them incredibly ruthless and cruel.

Whether to outsiders or his own people, his viciousness was truly terrifying.

An Mingji did not look at Linda, he barely frowned as he thought of the few phone calls he’d previously asked Linda to handle.

They were calls from emissaries sent by rulers of M Country, Y Country, F Country, S Country, and others.

They all called for the same matter.

Although their languages were vague, their words were meant as warnings to the Darwin Family, not to meddle in the affairs of Hua Country’s royal family.

The Darwin Family has stood tall in this world for many years, always at a pinnacle and not attacked by those in power of other nations, because they never meddled in royal affairs of other countries, except in Italy.

In Italy, the Darwin Family itself is a member of the royal family.
