There was only one condition, and that was that the person who had caused her family’s ruin, who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes to destroy her family and set up that trap, had to be punished.

Jiang Tang had already planned to come here, to this city; taking this mission was just something he did along the way.

Since he was here, he might as well investigate and see whether what this woman said was true or not.

Jiang Tang was the very embodiment of justice and positive energy.

If the other side really had used some kind of scheme to lure that woman’s husband into addiction, then bankrupt him and bring her family to ruin,

he could lend a hand.

Jiang Tang checked with the Underworld and found that this couple should have had many years left in their allotted lifespan, but because someone was jealous of their family,

they used money to buy off their business rival and then carried out a whole series of plots and tricks.

The bankrupt couple couldn’t pay back their debts in the end and both died.

As for their children and relatives, after they died, of course they were left carrying astronomical debts, and their life was utterly miserable.

Jiang Tang reviewed the entire process and formed an idea in his heart.

As for this condition the woman set, he would help her, and rewind time by two years.

Two years ago, that woman’s husband was still the president of a company, and she was also the wife of a company boss.

The reason they were so envied was not only the competition in the business world, but also that this rich lady had a rival, who could be said to be a former classmate from school.

Jiang Tang turned time back to two years ago, but real time in the world remained the same; he only rewound time for the sake of this mission, letting that broken family go back in time and gain the ability to change things.

The reason that rich lady had some kind of conflict with this classmate

was partly because of resources back when they were in school, and some minor incidents during their school days.

The rich lady married the boss of a company and then stopped going out to work, fully becoming a rich lady.

It also had to do with her natal family; after all, she was a daughter from a wealthy house, a proper match in terms of family background, and of course her family supported the marriage.

Even if it wasn’t a formal arranged marriage, they had known each other since childhood.

They had gone to the same elementary school, high school, and university, all in the same city.

The woman who was at odds with her had competed with her back in school.

This woman came from just an ordinary family, but she was ambitious and got into a company as a secretary to one of the bosses.

And it just so happened that this company’s boss was the business rival of the rich lady’s husband.

At first it was just them butting heads, each living her own life.

But at a later class reunion, the rich lady showed up dressed in jewels, looking noble and elegant, coming and going in luxury cars, and she didn’t even have to work.

Yet the secretary had never believed she was any less capable than this woman, and now she couldn’t even be compared to her.

She could only be the boss’s mistress, a mistress who couldn’t be seen in the light of day.

On the surface it looked glamorous, but that was all it was.

Without the position of a legal wife, there was no security at all.

The classmates all compared the two of them.

The woman nursed a grudge in her heart; there was no way she could allow the other party to keep pressing her down forever.

She not only wanted to become the man’s wife, she also had to help him bring down his rival; only by fulfilling this condition could she become the proper wife.

Once she had this idea, she went to the boss and laid out her terms.

The reason she had such confidence, of course, was that she knew some people who walked in both the underworld and the legitimate world.

Setting up a trap was all too easy; in their city, which was a Gambling City,

as long as they lured someone over there, they could easily set up a game.

Jiang Tang could see, from two years ago, the fragments of what the woman went through, and he projected those fragments—along with what her classmate and that boss had done—like a movie for this woman to see.

The woman had never imagined that her classmate could be so vicious.

Even though she was a rich lady and didn’t often fight it out in the company,

growing up in a big family environment meant she wasn’t some naïve little fool; the only reason she was deceived was that she hadn’t had her guard up.

Not only had she and her family failed to guard against them, her husband also had no idea that the other side was using business, using business deals, to set traps.

Other people, when they talked business or met up to socialize, might go to golf courses or other venues.

People like them in this Gambling City mostly liked to play a little in these entertainment places.

After all, they’d grown up around this; even if they didn’t know how to gamble, others would teach them.

If everyone else is gambling and you don’t know how,

how are you supposed to talk business with them?

It’s like eating at a banquet—you have to understand drinking culture.

Jiang Tang sent certain scenes to this couple in the form of dreams.

He let them know what their rival was really like; if only the woman knew and told her husband, he might not fully believe her.

But what if the husband had the same dream?

He would dream of himself being framed, then losing everything, and the couple dying together.

Such a tragic ending, so real, that it was impossible not to believe it.

With a prophetic dream like that, they couldn’t help but be on guard.

The other side wasn’t planning to take them out in a single blow either.

First, they slowly plotted through some business collaborations.

Originally, the woman approached the rich lady as a former classmate, and afterward the two rival families ended up cooperating.

The act of setting up a trap only looked innocent to outsiders.

But from the dreams, they could clearly see what these people were trying to do.

Time flowed like a plot playing out, like watching a TV drama or a movie, quickly flashing past.

Time jumped to one year ago; at that point, because of their cooperation, the classmates were seeing each other a lot.

Since they discussed business, they would also go to certain entertainment venues to play.

Just when that secretary and her boss invited the couple to go to a certain entertainment venue,

and agreed that the next day they would go there with other bosses to have some fun,

that very night the couple both had that dream.

Some parts of the dream were half true and half false, like the class reunion, like the two families meeting,

like the secretary asking the rich lady to go shopping together and so on.

But the dream contained many more scenes, such as the boss and the secretary plotting in secret, and they heard every word clearly.

At first they didn’t believe it, but lately that boss had often brought the secretary along to hang out with them; originally they were competitors, rivals, so how could they suddenly be cooperating?

It should have been impossible for them to cooperate with those other bosses.

But in the dream they saw that boss, the secretary, and the other bosses agreeing, in certain scenes, that they would set up a trap together.

They weren’t just setting a trap in business, they were also going to set one in the next day’s "fun."

The couple woke up drenched in sweat, shocked that they’d had such a nightmare.

Their marriage had been an arranged match between families, and their feelings had never been that deep.

But since both families were old clans, even if there was no love, there was still family affection, and they already had children.

Neither of them had ever betrayed the other.

The rich lady had never thought that her classmate would turn out to be this kind of person.

She confided the dream to her husband, and he felt that the scenes in his dream were exactly the same.

So was this heaven sending them a warning?

They had to be on guard against villains when they went out to "play" tomorrow.

Since they had already agreed to go, they couldn’t change tomorrow’s plan.

But they were afraid the other side would really tamper with the "plot," so the couple had no choice but to make a decision.

The rich lady didn’t hesitate to injure herself and get admitted to the hospital.

As the husband, with his own wife in the hospital, of course he had to stay by her side.

As for going out at night to have fun?

They couldn’t cancel, so at the last minute they decided to send one of their managers to go in their place.

Then, at the last moment, they sent that manager on a sudden business trip, making him get a call at the venue and rush off on the trip.

If you’re going to put on an act, you have to do it all the way.

While the couple were still thinking about how to injure themselves without arousing suspicion in this "plot,"

a small bottle of Pills suddenly appeared at their side, Pills that, once taken, would cause a sudden illness—not a serious illness, just a heavy cold or something like that,

but enough to keep someone from showing up.

And this happened to be a time when certain flu viruses were spreading, the worst in these two years.

Because it was that season, colds and flus were particularly widespread.

The rich lady suddenly fell ill, and her husband took her to the hospital, the whole family in a panic.

They were also afraid they might be sick, so they all went to get check‑ups.

The tests showed that everyone in the family was sick, which was also because of that bottle of medicine.

Even though they were sick, it was only mild, but it was enough to make them look weak and pale on the surface.
