Hibiscus Garden, Luo Hai
The storm shrouded Luo Hai in fog, while the surroundings of Hibiscus Garden were covered in red fragments that fell on the ground.
The cool autumn breeze lingered in the air. It chilled people to the bone.
Within Hibiscus Garden, Jennie was worried sick. A single phone call was enough to leave her feeling confused and helpless.
"Jennie, why was there M36n in the soil sample that you sent?"
Chaeyoung had asked the forensic department to examine it. They were very familiar with this element by now.
Taecyeon's direct cause of death was poisoning by M36n. This was a compound poison that Jungkook had developed...
Lisa had not returned the entire night. This was the second reason for Jennie's anxiety.
Previously, Lisa would never stay out all night or disappear without a word.
The same message played whenever she tried to contact him. "Sorry, the person you've called is currently unavailable..."

South China Sea Oil Field
Lisa angrily glared at Yan Jun and the pilot who was holding him back. He snarled, "You don't have to follow me if you're afraid of dying. I can fly a helicopter on my own, so back off. I'm going back to Luo Hai!"
At the moment, Yan Jun was not afraid of offending Lisa. He snapped, "The storm is too violent now. It'll be extremely dangerous for you to fly a helicopter. We're not afraid of dying, but we're worried that you'll die! Calm down, the Mistress will be fine. You can use the satellite phone to communicate with the men who were deployed in Luo Hai..."
Lisa's eyes were bloodshot, but he managed to slowly calm himself down.
He had already made the necessary preparations before coming here. Everything would be fine as long as Jennie remained in Hibiscus Garden.
However, a strange sense of uneasiness welled up inside him when he saw the look in Hanbin's eyes before his death.
Neither the helicopter nor the ships could be used as the storm was too intense. He was stranded in the South China Sea...

Hibiscus Garden
Jennie gazed through the sheer white curtains that led to the balcony. She saw a red-colored umbrella passing through the little garden in the middle. It was coming from the direction of Upper Mansion.
The Old Mistress' mood was worsened by the sudden accidents that repeatedly happened within her household. This had caused her health to progressively deteriorate. She had been unable to get out of bed for many days.
Taecyeon died, Tzuyu left the Manoban household, and Xue Meiwei was in the hospital taking care of Jae-wook who seemed like a walking corpse. Lisa was mysteriously nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the third son of the Manoban Family refused to have anything to do with this feud.
Too many things had happened within a year. The Manoban Family was completely enveloped by an unnatural silence.
Somi was the only person who still had the energy to cause trouble now.
"The Mistress is upstairs. Miss, please have a seat. I'll ask the Mistress to come down."
Ah Fu's voice could be heard clearly. Jennie immediately pushed the door open and stood face to face with Ah Fu before the girl came over.
"Mistress, Miss Mcdonie is here!"
The "Miss Mcdonie" that the servant was referring to was actually Jeon Somi.
Jennie nodded and followed Ah Fu downstairs.
Somi wore light makeup to accentuate her healthy complexion. Nonetheless, this woman always appeared rather irritating because she loved stirring up trouble.
Jennie put on a stern face and indifferently said, "What brings you here in spite of the heavy rain? I've already told you that I hate it when you visit Hibiscus Garden while I'm present."
Somi sneered when she noticed that Jennie looked agitated.
"You have every right to say that. After all, you're the mistress of Hibiscus Garden."
She turned and sat down on the sofa. She murmured, "However, you won't be the mistress for much longer!"
Jennie smirked. "Neither will you!"
Somi coldly glared at Jennie. Suddenly, she said, "I didn't come here to fight with you. I came to tell you some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
"Stop beating around the bush!" Somi had made herself at home without asking for permission. As Jennie was already annoyed because of her pregnancy, she desperately wanted Ah Fu to chase Somi out with a broom.
"Alright, I'll tell you the bad news first." Somi gleefully fixed her gaze on Jennie. "Your brother, Kim Hanbin, led a fleet filled with explosives to the South China Sea Oil Field this morning..."
Jennie's expression changed drastically and her body trembled when she heard this. "Hanbin..."
"He's dead!" Somi was secretly overjoyed when she saw Jennie's stunned expression. "He left you a video before he died. Do you want to see it?"
