Xia Wan calmly raised her head, her movements slow and steady, as if everything was under her control.

She first glanced around warily, her eyes sharp, and after carefully confirming that no one else was around, she lowered her voice slightly. Her voice was deep and mysterious, as if it came from the depths of a valley, and she said mysteriously:

"This is my exclusive secret channel, and I can't reveal the specifics to you right now. But everything I'm saying is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to go and see for yourselves. As far as I know, the two of them have already secretly arranged to meet at midnight tonight!"

Her eyes gleamed with confidence, as if declaring to everyone that the intelligence she possessed was as solid as a rock.

Upon hearing this, Xia Shuqin could no longer contain her anger, which burned like a raging fire and instantly consumed her reason.

She stomped her foot so hard the ground seemed to tremble, and shouted indignantly, "That Zhao Guodong! That ungrateful traitor! Dad trusted him so much before, and even had high hopes for him. Who would have thought he would let a wolf into the house and raise a tiger to cause trouble!"

Her voice was sharp and shrill, echoing in the empty corridor, as if she were venting all the anger in her heart.

She had long suspected that her brother-in-law was no good. He always had a smiling face, as if he would never lose his temper, but in reality, he was a cunning and treacherous man hiding his true intentions!

In her memory, Zhao Guodong's smile always carried a hint of hypocrisy, and every move he made seemed like he was scheming something.

She had caught Zhao Guodong's shifty eyes on several occasions at family gatherings, and now, looking back, it was clearly a sign of ill intent.

Seeing this, Xia Wan simply shrugged lightly, the movement relaxed and casual, as if she was already used to Xia Shuqin's anger.

His gaze then turned to his aunt, whose temper was as volatile as a firecracker.

If Xia Shuyu hadn't been there to stop her, this aunt would probably have already rushed out the door like an arrow and started fighting.

Xia Wan knew Xia Shuqin's fiery temper all too well; her anger was like a bomb that could explode at any moment, and once it did, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Xia Shuyu also turned her gaze to Xia Wan, who was smiling brightly, as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring.

Her smile seemed to contain endless wisdom and wit, making it impossible not to be drawn to her.

Xia Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and slowly said, "Are you deliberately trying to tell me that you hope I will go with you to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"

Her eyes held a hint of inquiry, trying to find the answer from Xia Wan's expression.

It has to be said that this little girl is really clever. No wonder her father has been praising her at home ever since he met her last time.

In Xia Shuyu's memory, her father's eyes were always full of praise and satisfaction when he mentioned Xia Wan, as if he saw a new hope for the family.

Xia Shuyu had originally thought that after she so bluntly exposed the other girl's thoughts, the shy girl would at least show some embarrassment. Now, she was secretly regretting it.

However, to her utter surprise, Xia Wan made no attempt to hide her feelings and simply nodded, confirming her earlier guess.

"Don't be so rude! How can you call it eavesdropping? We're openly monitoring them, okay? I have every reason to suspect that two people who weren't originally connected are suddenly getting so close together. Could there be some kind of treasonous act involved?"

Xia Wan's voice was clear and firm, each word like a pebble thrown into the hearts of the crowd, stirring up ripples.

Xia Wan showed no shame at being criticized; instead, she readily and openly admitted her actions.

Not only that, she playfully winked her big, bright eyes at everyone, her eyes sparkling like clear lake water, and continued with a grin: "If we can successfully get information about their conversation, wouldn't that be ironclad evidence? Then let's see what face they have left to argue."

Her smile was full of confidence and anticipation, as if she could already see Guo Guanghua and Zhao Guodong's disheveled appearance after they were exposed.

Xia Shuyu originally wanted to give her niece a good scolding, but seeing her so calm and composed, yet also with a touch of playfulness and cuteness, she was amused and burst out laughing.

She shook her head helplessly, but in her heart, she grew to appreciate her niece even more.

I thought to myself that this child is truly decisive and resolute in doing things, without any procrastination or hesitation.

In her view, Xia Wan's decisiveness and confidence were qualities that many people in the family lacked, and she seemed to see a new star rising.

Just then, Xia Shuqin, who had been standing silently to the side, heard their conversation and abruptly stopped her anxious pacing.

Her steps came to an abrupt halt, as if frozen by an invisible force.

She strode up to the two men, her face contorted with anger, and said urgently, "Count me in! I'm going to hear what these two arrogant fools are plotting in secret! How dare they scheme against our Xia family! I don't know who gave them such audacity; they've got some nerve!"
