Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1239: Deal With

Dark Street epitomized the darkest aspects of the city, teeming with the lowest strata of society, along with filth, crime, and all sorts of unbearable elements. When Leng Ran first took charge, she could barely stand it, and almost couldn’t control herself from taking action several times upon seeing women being trafficked.

In the end, it was only under Shi Cin’s persuasion that she managed to hold back.

Because all the unspeakableness here revolved around Leng’s family members, around the new master, Leng Ran. If even she, the master, couldn’t bear it, then what awaited her was self-destruction.

Dark Street would not adapt to her; she had to adapt to Dark Street.

However, Zhuanzhuan’s reaction upon arriving on Dark Street was drastically different from Leng Ran’s. She found the place uplifting and relaxing. She was always smiling and spoke to people with a beaming expression. On her first day, nobody took her seriously, but later, all those who dared to challenge her ended up dead.

Their deaths were mysterious and unexplained.

Within just three days, the longstanding big shots of Dark Street no longer dared to underestimate Zhuanzhuan. At first, everyone thought Leng Ran was the direct line heir, someone they couldn’t afford to offend. But now they realized that it was Jiang Zhuanzhuan who was Leng Peixi’s true heir.

Her methods were much like Leng Peixi’s, even more twisted.

Being ruthless was one thing, being malicious was another, as people on Dark Street were all cruel, each more ruthless and heartless than the last. But Jiang Zhuanzhuan was different; her smile was bright, she could even appear shy, and her gaze was innocent.

"It’s incredible," Shi Cin said as he came in and saw Leng Ran sitting in a chair, lost in thought. He tapped lightly on the desk with his hand.

"What is it? Who’s incredible?" Leng Ran looked up and asked.

"Who else but Jiang Zhuanzhuan!" Shi Cin crossed his arms, somewhat indignantly. "Jiang Zhuanzhuan has only been here a few days! And those bastards have already revered her like an ancestor." After all, she was Dark Street’s number two, but now her status had plummeted since Jiang Zhuanzhuan’s arrival.

Jiang Zhuanzhuan and Leng Tianqi were in cahoots, two little brats who managed to achieve this much.

She had never dared to imagine it before.

Especially Leng Tianqi, who had always been ambitious, but sadly not smart enough, never gaining the favor of Leng Peixi. She preferred to bring Leng Ran back from the provincial city to nurture, rather than choose him. But now, since Leng Tianqi got involved with Jiang Zhuanzhuan, he had completely changed.

"Leng Ran, we can’t just sit here and wait for death. If this continues, Dark Street will fall into Jiang Zhuanzhuan’s hands."

"No!" Leng Ran shook her head immediately. "My aunt really values Jiang Zhuanzhuan now; we can’t touch her." In fact, she was also anxious. Ever since she talked with Feng Sha, she had realized that her situation was precarious.

Had it been before, she would have gladly washed her hands of it, but now it was too late.

She had no way out.

Leng Ran lowered her eyes, looking at her pristine palms, almost sensing the smell of blood, which made her hands tremble slightly, sending a chill through her heart. Eventually, she resolutely shook her head, suppressing the cold feeling.

Her hands were already dirty; she had no choice but to see this through to the end.

She had people she needed to protect; she could not afford to lose.

"We can’t just watch her create trouble, you don’t know how sinister Jiang Zhuanzhuan is; although she always looks cheerful, she always seems harboring ill intentions," Shi Cin, a veteran in the underworld, was ruthless when needed. Dark Street’s business was largely handled by her, surviving several major purges, but this time she had a sense of impending crisis.
