This was the problem that Lucy and her father were facing right now.
Lucy's father was not a core member of the family.
The expansion of the Eastern market was an opportunity for Lucy's father. If they failed, Lucy's father would likely be abandoned by the family. Lucy would also be abandoned by the family.
Lucy knew that even if her father completed the task of expanding the Eastern market, he would not immediately be put in an important position by the family. He would only be able to temporarily maintain his family's position in the family.
Lucy now had other plans. Compared to devouring the Eastern market, Lucy was more interested in finding the lost family compass.
It was the most effective and direct way for them to gain recognition from the family.

Lucy returned to her family's residence in Beijing. It was a private villa located in the suburbs of Beijing.
The villa was heavily guarded. The security personnel were all family bodyguards that they had brought from abroad.
After Lucy returned, she entered the basement. Behind the metal door were two women from the Qin family.
There were no windows in the basement. Before Lucy entered, the lights in the room were turned off. It was completely dark.
When Qin Yufan saw Lucy, she smiled mockingly: "Miss Lucy's plan doesn't seem to have succeeded."
Qin Yufan knew that if the Goodman family succeeded, they would definitely not let her live.
The Goodman family was dirty and ruthless.
"I know that you're angry. However, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I didn't mean to kidnap you. I also want to keep you safe."
"I'm not a three-year-old child. If the Goodman family can even kidnap people and threaten them, don't pretend to be a good person. It's disgusting."
"I went to see Master Sheng today. As you said, he only has eyes for his fiancée."
"I told you a long time ago that he doesn't like you. Give up! You're nothing compared to Yiling!"
"There's no such thing as admitting defeat in the dictionary of the Goodman family. We've been taught since we were young. If we want something, we have to rely on our own efforts to fight for it. We shouldn't feel sorry for ourselves."
"Tsk, your Chinese is pretty good. You even know how to feel sorry for yourself," Qin Yufan said sarcastically.
"I thought you could understand my feelings."
Lucy knew that Qin Yufan had also liked Zhai Yunsheng. She had pursued Zhai Yunsheng for a long time. Everyone in Beijing knew about this.
"Don't confuse me with you. I, Qin Yufan, never do those shady things behind your back."
Lucy did not get angry. "Well, since you still don't want to talk to me today, I'll come to see you next time."

When she returned home in the evening, Jian Yiling opened the large suitcase that she used to store her jewelry.
Inside, he found an item that was distinctly Western.
It was a round plate, as big as a bowl.
Its texture was a kind of metal, and its color was an ancient blackish-yellow.
There was a red gem the size of a pigeon egg inlaid on the front.
On the back, there was an ancient western pattern engraved on it.
This pattern was the same as the ring that Jian Yiling had seen on Lucy Goodman's finger today.
Even the quality of the metals used were very similar.
Jian Yiling looked at the thing in her hand. She was a little confused.
The person who gave her this thing only told her that it was worth a lot of money, but did not say what it was used for, nor did he say which family it was related to.
