The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

"Interrogate me? No need, I already know everything about you." After using the drug on Du Pengfei yesterday, he had been completely unaware and ended up confessing everything.

"You know everything?" Du Pengfei furrowed his brows, looking at Situ Xin with disbelief. You see, all the information about him in circulation was fabricated, meticulously crafted by himself.

Situ Xin knew why he didn’t believe her. It was because yesterday, when she learned his secrets straight from Du Pengfei’s lips, she had compared them to the information Liu Yuxiang had provided. The details of Du Pengfei’s life before he established the Green Tiger Gang were all incorrect. "Hehe, don’t doubt me, I truly know it all."

Sitting atop Baibai, Situ Xin spoke with a chipper mood, "Shall I tell you about it?" She gleamed at Du Pengfei with a smile, "Du Pengfei, or rather Du Gaofeng, male, from Province Z. Your father was a renowned entrepreneur there. But a few years ago, he suddenly fell ill and passed away. And the Du Group, which he ran, was taken over by a close friend of his after his death."

Upon hearing his true name from Situ Xin, the look in Du Pengfei’s eyes changed. He could never have imagined that the information he had gone to great lengths to hide was known to Situ Xin.

This Du Pengfei, in fact, was Du Gaofeng. His father was a very successful businessman whose company was thriving, and his mother a homemaker. He had always lived in a happy and perfect home, until the day he, a college student at the time, received a call from his mother, informing him of his father’s death.

At that moment, the phone slipped from his grip and crashed to the floor. Even his mother’s frantic voice over the line couldn’t awaken him from his shock. He couldn’t believe that his father, who was always in good health, had died so suddenly.

Coming to his senses, he hurried back home. When he saw the altar set up for his father, his tears couldn’t be held back any longer. Yet, he didn’t lose his wits due to the death. Tears streaming down his face, he asked his mother how his father had died.

Between sobs, Du Pengfei’s mother told him that on that day his father had gone to the company early in the morning as usual. It wasn’t until noon that she abruptly received a call from one of his father’s friends, telling her there had been an accident, that his father had collapsed in the office and was being rushed to the hospital. But by the time she arrived, the hospital had already declared that his father was dead due to late rescue efforts.

After hearing his mother’s story, Du Pengfei felt there was something suspicious about his father’s sudden death. But when he reported it to the local police station and demanded a thorough investigation, they only took the case as a formality. They hardly looked into it before concluding that his father had died of a sudden illness.

With the police not finding anything amiss, he had no choice but to accept the harsh reality and attend to his father’s funeral arrangements. After handling his father’s affairs, he took a long leave of absence from school, planning to return and take over his father’s company.
