Night fell over the old house, the crystal lamps shone brightly, and Lin Jiaorui and Shen Man sat there anxiously.

Shen Yibo deliberately asked, "What happened this time? Why are you all so nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui immediately wiped away her tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

"I went to deliver something to my sister today, and she ended up arresting and beating us both."

"Although my relationship with my sister is not very good, that is not a reason for her to hit me."

Beside her, Shen Man remained silent, her face pale, as if she were terrified.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yibo immediately stood up in anger.

"Dad, are you just going to stand by and watch him get bullied like this? He did give you a son, after all."

When his son was mentioned, Master Shen's face twisted for a moment. Considering that Shen Kaixuan was present, he could only grit his teeth and utter a sentence.

"Of course we can't let them get away with this. This is going too far. They're bullying me."

As he said this, he glanced at Shen Kaixuan out of the corner of his eye, observing his expression.

Shen Kaixuan sat there, glancing at Second Master Shen and then looking at Lin Jiaorui and the others.

"Now that you've entered our home, you certainly can't be mistreated."

On the surface, he was trying to support Lin Jiaorui, but in reality, he wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Shen Tinghe.

Now that I am the most powerful person in the Shen family, I must take this opportunity to drive Shen Tinghe out of the Shen family.

Then the Shen family would belong to him alone.

Shen Kaixuan thought that Lin Qingtong really hit Lin Jiaorui, but he didn't care about the specific reason. He only thought about taking the opportunity to deal with Lin Qingtong.

The best approach is to start with Lin Qingtong and dismantle Shen Tinghe in one fell swoop.

Shen Kaixuan made a call to Shen Tinghe in front of everyone and spoke coldly.

"Shen Tinghe, you need to go back to the old house right away. You've gone too far this time. Bring Lin Qingtong back immediately."

Before Shen Tinghe could say anything, he hung up the phone and softened his tone to comfort Lin Jiaorui.

"Don't worry, we will never let you suffer any injustice."

Lin Jiaorui agreed, her voice trembling with sobs.

"Then I thank you very much, brother."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Tinghe turned to look in Lin Qingtong's direction.

"The opportunity has arrived."

Lin Qingtong raised an eyebrow and smiled, replying, "This is going to be a tough battle."

She immediately dialed a number and spoke in a mysterious manner.

"Ready? We can begin."

Seemingly having received the other party's agreement, Lin Qingtong hung up the phone with satisfaction.

She then turned to look at Lin Jiaorui, who was elegantly drinking coffee to the side.

"Auntie, we can go now."

When Lin Qingtong and the others returned to the Shen family's old house, Shen Kaixuan had already called many members of the Shen family back, filling the entire living room.

The moment Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe stepped into the living room, everyone's eyes were on them.

It shone with a scrutinizing and fiery light.

An ordinary person would definitely be terrified by that look, but Lin Qingtong was not afraid at all.

Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe stood side by side, their imposing presence impossible to ignore.

The two walked to the center of the living room, and a half-smile appeared on Shen Tinghe's thin lips.

"Why did you call me back so late, brother? Is something urgent?"

Shen Kaixuan sat there, adopting a superior posture, and casually pointed at Lin Jiaorui next to him.

Did you do it?

Lin Qingtong looked in the direction of the finger and saw a red handprint on Lin Jiaorui's cheek. She immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled.

This person is really ruthless; he'd even slap someone just to frame them.

Lin Qingtong crossed her arms and nodded decisively, "I did it, so what?"

Before Shen Kaixuan could react, he immediately reprimanded him.

"The evidence is conclusive, yet you still refuse to admit it."

Shen Tinghe offered a casual reminder.

"It seems that my elder brother is getting old; he can't even hear what I'm saying clearly."

Lin Qingtong smiled and said from the side.

"If you didn't hear me clearly, then I'll say it again."

She deliberately raised her voice and repeated it in the direction of Chen Kaixuan.

"I said I hit him, so what?"

Shen Kaixuan's original plan was completely disrupted by Lin Qingtong's actions, and he stared at Lin Qingtong and the others with a furrowed brow.

"Since you've all admitted it, why don't you hurry up and apologize? She's still a member of the Shen family."

Lin Qingtong smiled and retorted, "She's a member of the Shen family? I'd like to ask, who in the Shen family is she related to, and what has she done?"

Shen Kaixuan's words were stuck in his throat, and he just couldn't say them.

Everyone knew the relationship between Lin Jiaorui and Master Shen, but it was something that absolutely could not be said.

Especially coming from Shen Kaixuan's mouth, it could become a handle for others to use against him someday.

Shen Kaixuan's face darkened, and he said directly, "Even if she's not a member of the Shen family, you shouldn't hit her. Are you questioning me?"

Lin Qingtong replied with a smile, "How could I dare to question my elder brother's words? I was just curious."

"Since you all think I hit her, why don't you just call the police?"

She took out her phone to call the police, but Lin Jiaorui stopped her decisively.

"This is a minor matter, there's no need to call the police."

Lin Qingtong looked up at Lin Jiaorui in front of her, her eyes filled with coldness.

"I was the one who hit someone, and I'm not afraid to call the police, so what are you afraid of?"

Lin Jiaorui's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. She had wronged Lin Qingtong in the first place. If she called the police, wouldn't everything be exposed?

Her eyes darted around frantically as she tried to figure out a way to get past this.
