The Chen Family Manor.

Nono cautiously avoided the patrolling, burly security guards. These Hybrid guards, who looked like muscular strongmen on the surface, were stationed almost every five steps and ten steps.

But it was as if she had figured out their patrol routes in advance, even the blind spots of the surveillance cameras, so she tiptoed out stealthily.

To be honest, she hadn't been having a good time lately. Although her father hadn't said anything explicitly, it was certain that the Chen Family's situation was getting worse.

The brothers and sisters who usually had time to mess with her and bully her were all gone. The older ones were probably sent out on some mission, and the younger ones were obediently staying inside the house, not allowed to wander around freely.

And she, Nono, the beloved daughter whom her father had planned to marry off to the Gattuso Family, was being strictly guarded. In Father Chen's view, Nono would definitely oppose the arranged marriage due to her rebellious nature and try to sneak away.

That's why Nono hated this family so much. They said they loved her the most, but then turned around and sent her away, sacrificing her to become the nourishment that would strengthen the Chen Group...

Precisely because of this, what Father Chen never expected was that a family enemy happened to infiltrate the main house and come knocking. So, Nono decisively went up to make contact and became an inside agent.

Nono now came to a patch of woods inside the family manor that no one bothered to patrol. She glanced around and counted to three: one, two, three. She found the tallest and most vigorous ginkgo tree. Speaking of which, there were also two trees planted at her doorstep, one was a ginkgo tree, and the other was also a ginkgo tree...

Nono circled the tree, found a spot, and dug a shallow hole. A satellite phone, meticulously wrapped in a bag, lay there quietly.

After the call connected, a cold and stern female voice quickly came through, her tone strict, as if she naturally possessed a queenly aura.

"You're 32 seconds later than the scheduled contact time, Miss Nono."

Nono, the little witch who was usually rebellious and unruly at home, now looked meek and submissive. "I'm sorry, Ninja Master, I almost bumped into a security guard coming out of the restroom on the way... I took a bit of a detour."

Jiu De Mayi on the other end of the phone twitched her lips when she heard the chuunibyou-like honorific "Ninja Master." She was almost getting goosebumps... Forget it, forget it, a person who isn't chuunibyou in their youth is wasting their life. She wouldn't argue with a rebellious little girl.

"I won't waste your time. Our contact time is limited. The patrol patterns of the security guards around your house were all scouted by me, so you know, in less than 10 minutes, they will come in to confirm if you're in your room."

Nono bit her lip helplessly. Although Father Chen wouldn't go so far as to install surveillance in her room, the checks every 10 minutes ensured that even if she bypassed the surrounding security patrols, she wouldn't have time to escape this overly vast private manor.

"Now, remember every word I say. The final action time we planned is not far off. We need you to work hard and help us investigate a crucial piece of intelligence."

Nono's eyes lit up and her face showed joy upon hearing this. "You're going to break in? Master, when are you coming..."

When are you coming to help me overthrow the entire Chen Family and save me from this predicament?

Nono was waiting anxiously, her heart burning with impatience. If it weren't for the fact that she would only be a burden, she might have considered going herself.

Ever since she learned that she had connected with the Chen Family's hostile forces and discovered that her family was secretly conducting "unknown, inhumane experiments" in a certain base, she often dreamed of having a destiny bestowed upon her, wielding a signal axe to justly eliminate her relatives, cleaning up the family and finally being able to hold her head high...

Alright, at this age, Nono was still a child who hadn't entered society, and frequent episodes of delusion were inevitable.

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense. Our operation is none of your business, and the action time cannot be revealed. Now, listen carefully. Your father will likely come to the manor for a symbolic inspection tonight after the company project meeting ends. You can take this opportunity to say this to your father..."

That night, Father Chen was confused that Nono, who usually avoided him like the plague, actually came to him on her own initiative, saying she had something to discuss.

"Motong, you're grown up now, you should be sensible. The Gattuso Family is a top Hybrid Family now, and the eldest son of the current patriarch is a well-known and well-regarded young nobleman in European aristocratic circles. Your life after marrying him will definitely not be bad."

"Motong, I know you're not used to this family, but it's okay, every child goes through that phase. As long as you're obedient and go to the Gattuso family, Dad promises not to interfere with your decisions anymore..."

Father Chen spoke kindly. He thought Nono was coming to protest the arranged marriage, which wouldn't do. He had already contacted Frost, the acting head of the Gattuso family.

Frost's attitude was ambiguous, neither immediately agreeing nor refusing, only saying he needed more time and would give a reply in a few days.

Based on his understanding of the Gattuso Family's past "selection of consorts," they would definitely observe Nono's performance openly and secretly. This time, he couldn't let her act out and go crazy.

"No, Father, that's not what I want to say. Also, I've emphasized repeatedly, I am Nono, not Motong!"

Nono's face was as cold as ice. She had absolutely no interest in the Gattuso or anything like that. Heh, arranged marriage? Dream on. Just wait a while for a scene of "loving father and filial daughter," and I'll overturn your whole family!

"Alright, then may I ask... what is it, Nono?"

"Father," Nono said, following Jiu De Mayi's instructions, her acting skills kicking in. Her voice suddenly became ethereal and distant, and her beautiful eyes opened, revealing an unprecedented sorrow and desolation.

"...Today I was passively entered into the Profiling State, and I seemed to have seen scenes from ancient times. I was wearing a Priest's attire, that dress was pure white, seemingly a luxurious gauze skirt with complex patterns. At that time, I was speaking to a Black King who was about to wear a crown..."

Bang!

Father Chen's body jolted violently, almost jumping out of his chair. He seemed to be so shocked by Nono's words that he lost his composure. Greed and fanaticism flashed in his eyes, but only for an instant before returning to normal.

"Good, very good! My good daughter, don't panic. This is the destiny in your bloodline. Go, we will go to a place that can help you uncover the secret."

Father Chen clapped his hands, and a large team of armed Hybrid personnel immediately swarmed into the spacious room from outside.

They rushed forward and injected an anesthetic into the unsuspecting Nono. Then they used thick black hoods, long black bags, and metal chains to cover and tie Nono tightly. Their movements were well-trained and extremely skilled, clearly not the first time they had done this. Father Chen watched the whole process with a cold eye.

His eyes were still fixed on Nono, but it was no longer the look of a father, but the gaze of someone observing a certain experimental subject.

The armed personnel then put Nono into a transport vehicle. However, what they didn't notice was that a wisp of black smoke, almost invisible in the deep night, drifted into the carriage the moment the car door opened.
