Ye Zhenghua was so frightened that he lost his composure, but the twins remained calm. After the initial shock, they quickly recovered and continued packing their luggage.

Ye Zhenghua was furious when he saw his two sons acting as if it was none of his business.

"Your mothers have been taken away by the police, and you still have the mind to pack your things! You two ingrates!"

Ye Linbei didn't even look up: "What are we going to do if we don't pack our things? We agreed to move out by tomorrow. If we don't pack and move out today, are we going to throw everything out tomorrow?"

Ye Zhenghua was filled with anger, but he couldn't vent it all at once.

The staff from the housing department came to give them a special message and asked them to move out as soon as possible.

After passing the inspection, they will repaint the walls and then distribute the repainted areas to the next household.

"The factory is so heartless; couldn't they have given us a few more days to adjust?"

Ye Zhenghua muttered something and started cursing Ye Linchen again.

"Your sister is really something! She just changed her college application, and to a better one at that. What's the big deal?"

"They actually went to the police and had your mother arrested!"

"I wonder what she's really up to!"

Ye Linbei said sternly, "Changing your college application is no big deal. What is?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event."

"No matter how prestigious Jiangcheng University is, it's not what my sister wants, so it won't do."

"It's like you love apples, but I insist on giving you watermelon, saying that watermelon is expensive and you're ungrateful if you don't eat it."

"That makes no sense!"

"Mom went too far by changing my college application without even saying goodbye. If I were the one whose application was changed, I would be angry too."

Ye Zhenghua waved his hand irritably: "What's wrong with eating watermelon? Stop being so dramatic!"

"You two ungrateful wretches, you always side with outsiders!"

"That's my own sister, how is that considered turning away from her?"

Ye Linnan stopped what he was doing and immediately retorted.

"I can't reason with you two ungrateful wretches!" Ye Zhenghua sat up from the sofa. "I'm going to talk to your sister!"

Ye Zhenghua acted immediately, putting on his shoes and heading out.

Along the way, he had already decided that today, whether he pleaded or threatened, he had to get Ye Linchen to drop the case.

We're all family, what's the point of taking this to the police station?

With a criminal record, how can Meng Xueyun report to the factory to work as a laborer?

This spot definitely can't be given to Meng Zihan. Are we really going to make him work as a factory worker?

What will people say and think when a former workshop foreman is reduced to a worker?

It would be better to kill him!

As Ye Zhenghua was pondering his plans, he happened to see Ye Linchen getting out of Gu Jingran's car when he arrived at the dormitory area entrance.

Ye Zhenghua froze on the spot.

Car?

When did Ye Linchen meet this kind of person?

Did she hook up with a rich guy?

Ye Zhenghua was overjoyed.

You should know that even the factory manager doesn't own a car these days!

If I could get along well with Ye Linchen and bring her home, wouldn't I have everything I wanted with such a son-in-law?

Why bother going to that lousy class?

Ye Zhenghua made up his mind immediately.

Since he had to please Ye Linchen, he had to go along with Ye Linchen's wishes regarding Meng Xueyun's affairs, lest he anger her.

He raised his voice and shouted at Ye Linchen, "Xiao Chen!"

Ye Linchen had just said goodbye to Gu Jingran and was about to head home when she heard Ye Zhenghua call her.

She frowned and stared warily at Ye Zhenghua.

What are you doing here? What do you want?

Ye Zhenghua felt very uncomfortable seeing Ye Linchen's expression.

He quickly suppressed his anger and continued with a kind smile, "Dad came to see you. Who was that just now?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Ye Linchen didn't bother to say anything more to him and turned to leave.

Ye Zhenghua stepped forward and stopped her.

"Xiao Chen, don't go, Daddy has something to tell you."

"The police came to our house today and took your mother away."

“Your mother was wrong this time. She shouldn’t have changed your college application without your permission. If you want to sue her, Dad will support you.”

"But you need to think this through. She is still your biological mother. If she has a criminal record, it will be detrimental to your future development."

"How about this, let's give her a small punishment this time, lock her up for a few days to scare her, and then drop the case, okay?"

Ye Zhenghua thought his attitude was very good; he rarely spoke in such a humble tone, even to his superiors.

Ye Linchen, however, did not buy it.

Upon seeing Ye Zhenghua, she knew why he had come.

As expected.

But on what grounds?

If she lets it go this time, the Ye family will definitely do it again, and the time after that.

She must teach them a lesson so they'll think twice before reaching out again.

Stop being so reckless and acting on a whim.

Ye Linchen stared directly at Ye Zhenghua, his tone icy.

"Do you think my filing a police report is just about changing my college application?"

Why did your whole family suffer from food poisoning before the college entrance exam?

"Did you drink fish soup?"

Ye Zhenghua didn't know why Ye Linchen suddenly brought this up, and nodded subconsciously.

"What's wrong with the fish soup?"

Ye Linchen scoffed: "With all your experience and knowledge, didn't you notice there was something wrong with the fish soup?"

"Let me tell you, Meng Xueyun gave me a portion of that fish soup before the college entrance exam, but I didn't accept it, and then she took it home."

"Do you think she didn't know there was something wrong with the fish soup, or did it on purpose?"

Just as Ye Linchen had said, Ye Zhenghua was indeed knowledgeable and experienced. Without Ye Linchen needing to point it out, he had already connected the two matters.

Did Meng Xueyun put something in the fish soup to ruin Ye Linchen's college entrance exam?

Was feeding his own family members a way to avoid suspicion?

But no matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.
