Meng Zihan tried to threaten Zhou Shixian by calling the police, but Zhou Shixian wasn't scared at all.

Zhou Shixian's unrestrained laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Hahaha... Call the police? Okay, go ahead and call! Let's see when the police arrive, whether they believe your empty words or the IOU and witnesses I have!"

Meng Zihan's face turned pale.

She knew that Zhou Shixian was the kind of person who would do things flawlessly.

Seeing that her trick of cheating wasn't working, she had an idea.

She lowered her voice and threatened, "Zhou Shixian, don't get too cocky. How many of your businesses in Hong Kong are clean and aboveboard? You know perfectly well whether your shipping company is actually transporting goods or just 'goods.' If I just casually mentioned it to someone... tell me, how many years do you think you'd have to go to jail?"

Zhou Shixian's laughter abruptly stopped on the other end of the phone.

A deathly silence.

After a full five seconds, Meng Zihan finally heard his gloomy voice: "What...do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything," Meng Zihan sneered. "Think about it yourself."

After saying that, she slammed the call down and forcefully shoved the cell phone back into Brother Liu's hand.

She raised her head, meeting Brother Liu's probing gaze, her face regaining its haughty and arrogant air.

"Brother Liu, we're all in this together, I don't want to make things too ugly," she said coldly. "The police have already filed a report saying that the person who owes you money isn't necessarily my dad, but could very well be a scammer who stole my dad's identity information. If you're smart, you should go find the real person who owes you money. If you dare to harass me or my family again, I don't mind sending you to jail for a few years."

After she finished speaking, she glared at Brother Liu, then straightened her back, squeezed through the gap left by the three burly men, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs without looking back.

That figure stood ramrod straight, exuding the air of a victor.

Brother Liu gripped his mobile phone, staring in the direction she had disappeared, his expression a mixture of anger and uncertainty. His two henchmen sidled up to him: "Brother Liu, are we just going to let her go like that? What about Boss Zhou…?"

"Let's go!" Brother Liu interrupted his men, waving his hand at them. "Follow her! See where she lives and what she does. This woman is a bit strange."

The two henchmen exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

The hallway fell silent once more.

Inside the house, the four members of the Ye family were still standing there, stunned.

Meng Xueyun leaned against the table, panting heavily, her face full of shock and bewilderment.

The series of unexpected events had left her mind still a complete mess.

Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei, who had been pretending to watch TV, both looked up at the same time.

The two brothers looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Meng Zihan will definitely not let this go when she returns this time.

Her next target is definitely her eldest sister, Ye Linchen, who is doing better and better!

No, I have to go and tell my older sister right away!

Ye Linnan nudged Ye Linbei with her elbow, and Ye Linbei understood, immediately stood up and picked up her schoolbag.

"Mom, my brother and I went back first. We made plans to go out with our classmates."

"Go back? What's the rush?"

Meng Xueyun came to her senses and carefully examined her two sons.

These two kids are definitely in a hurry to tip off Ye Linchen.

But one trip is fine too.

They were close to Ye Linchen, so Ye Linchen might listen to a few of what they said.

He was just wondering how to persuade that brat to come back and let them go out for some fresh air, and this was just the right time.

Meng Xueyun was calculating in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She just sighed with worry.

"I know you're going to inform Xiao Chen."

“Your cousin is a real tough nut to crack now, she dares to mess with anyone. Xiao Chen has such a stubborn and headstrong temper, if she goes against her, she'll definitely suffer. You've finished your college entrance exams, you're free anyway, go tell her not to fall into your cousin's trap.”

Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous.

Why would Mom tell my eldest sister to be wary of Meng Zihan?

That's incredible!

Could it be that he was really heartbroken by Meng Zihan and changed his mind?

Ye Linbei's gaze fell on the coffee table.

There was a net bag there, containing a few apples and several cans of milk powder.

This is something they only buy during holidays and festivals.

Ye Linbei understood.

It must be something Meng Xueyun was planning to use to curry favor with Ye Linchen.

She was pushed to the limit by Meng Zihan and wanted to get her older sister as backup.

Ye Linbei gave her brother a wink, and Ye Linnan understood.

The two didn't expose the truth, but simply went along with it and said, "Okay, let's go now."

"Go ahead, go ahead, and talk to her properly."

Meng Xueyun followed behind the two, rubbing her lower back.

But in her heart, she was planning that once the two boys delivered the letter, she would bring some things to their door and put on a show of motherly love. How could Ye Linchen not be moved?

Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei didn't have time to care about her little schemes; they were only thinking about telling their eldest sister about Meng Zihan as soon as possible.

The two grabbed their backpacks, rushed out of their homes, and boarded a bus bound for Jiangcheng University outside the dormitory area.

When the two of them arrived at Ye Linchen's rented room, covered in sweat, Ye Linchen had just seen off Lin Xiaojuan and Li Hongying who had come to attend a meeting.

She was tidying up the things on the table when she heard a loud, urgent knocking on the door.

Ye Linchen thought Lin Xiaojuan and the others had forgotten something, so he got up to open the door.

When the door opened, there were twins, their cheeks flushed red from the sun, panting heavily.

My two younger brothers haven't come since the last time I brought them chicken soup in a thermos.

Ye Linchen was so busy with his startup that he forgot about this for a moment.

Seeing them again now, Ye Linchen was quite happy.

"Why are you running so fast? Look at all that sweat! Come on in!"

Ye Linchen quickly ushered the two into the house.

"Sit down and take a break."

Ye Linchen turned the floor fan around so it was blowing towards the two brothers on the sofa, and then asked, "I have orange soda at home, I'll pour it for you. Do you want some popsicles? Red bean ones."

"Yes, I want them all."

Ye Linnan nodded without hesitation, raised his face, closed his eyes, felt the cool breeze blowing over him, and sighed, "It's so refreshing."

"It's so hot today, my T-shirt is soaked with sweat."

Ye Linbei took the towel from Ye Linchen and wiped his sweat, then handed it to Ye Linnan beside him.

"It will cool off after sitting for a while."

Ye Linchen deftly took two popsicles from the refrigerator, gave one to each person, and then took out two bottles of chilled soda.

How did you do on the college entrance exam? Are you confident about your performance?

She opened the bottle cap with a bottle opener, placed it in front of them, and then sat down opposite them.
