Watching the anxious and sincere look on his son-inw’s face, Li Yalin felt a strange sense of wonder about the world around him.


    He had always held a great admiration for his son-inw, perceiving him as someone full of resilience—unafraid of hardship and unwilling to surrender.


    In a nutshell, Li Yalin saw a reflection of himself in this young man.


    Because of this connection and the fact that he had no son of his own, Li Yalin treated his son-inw with genuine paternal affection.


    Yet, in this moment, he began to realize that his understanding of his son-inw was limited, even misguided. As a seasoned detective who had encountered countless individuals, he recognized that his perception was naive.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Initially, he believed his son-inw to be a person of high moral character, someone who wouldn’t stray from virtue due to wealth. But now, he was beginning to see a different truth—that perhaps his son-inw simply had a different threshold for temptation.


    This realization struck him as if one had never known their fear of heights until they faced it. Some might proim their fearlessness, yet find their knees shaking when the altitude rises.


    In that moment, Li Yalin felt a twinge of disdain for his son-inw.


    However, upon reflection, he questioned whether he was truly any different.<fncfd9> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fncfd9>


    While Qian had not left asting impression on him, he pondered the significance of lineage and inheritance—wasn’t he also swayed by such notions?


    Both he and his son-inw hadpromised their ideals, albeit for different reasons—one kneeling before the allure of wealth, and the other before the weight of legacy.


    Oblivious to Li Yalin’s inner turmoil, Archer noticed the shifting emotions on his face and voiced his concern, saying, “Dad, are you alright? Please, just tell us what you’re thinking!”


    Li Yalin paused, let out a deep sigh, and finally waved his hand, conceding, “Alright then, let’s proceed as you suggested!”


    “Really?!” both his daughter and son-inw eximed in unison, their surprise evident.


    Li Yalin nodded firmly, exining, “This is your grandfather An’s intention, but it’s quite a burden. I’ll figure out a way to repay it gradually!”


    “That’s fantastic!” Be cheered, her excitement palpable, while Archer clenched his fist in joy.


    In an instant, both of them rushed forward, embracing Li Yalin with uncontainable enthusiasm.


    Meanwhile, Li Yalin’s wife, Holly Chen, maintained a calm and unchanged demeanor throughout the entire exchange.


    Suddenly, Be recalled something important and asked, “Dad… what about the 10 million from Miss Fei? What’s the n for that?”


    As soon as Be posed the question, Archer turned to Li Yalin, instinctively asking, “Yes, Dad, do you have a strategy in mind?”


    For this young couple, the promised $100 million from the An family was intended to be ced in a family trust, with conditions that wouldn’t allow ess until their first child turned 18.


    In other words, even with Li Yalin’s agreement, they would have to wait 18 years before they could enjoy the financial windfall and elevate their lifestyle.


    All their dreams of luxury homes, high-end cars, and an affluent lifestyle would be on hold for nearly two decades.


    Considering the child’s expected due date of eight months, it effectively meant waiting almost 19 years.


    However, the $10 million check from Fei Kexin was a different matter entirely. Unlike the conditional family trust, this was actual cash—a check that could be exchanged for $10 million at any bank in the United States.
