Wen Shu had just opened the door when Li Duo reached out and pushed it open, saying, "If you're going to say you're going to come in, then come in too. If you stand at the door and people see you, the neighbors will start gossiping again. Isn't Aunt Zhang next door the most fond of gossip?"

Wen Shu's eyes widened instantly, and she stared intently at him.

He knows that Aunt Zhang loves gossip; it seems he hasn't forgotten that Aunt Zhang wanted to introduce her daughter to him back then.

Wen Shu's expression was not friendly, but considering the news he brought, she still allowed him to enter the courtyard.

After the courtyard was renovated, it instantly became much more elegant.

The yard itself is not big, and a small vegetable garden has been set up where all kinds of vegetables are grown.

There's a small pond in the corner of the yard, where a little turtle is lying.

That must be the little turtle that Rou Rou keeps.

Wen Shu crossed her arms. "Didn't you have something to say? Go ahead and say it."

Li Duo realized that Wen Shu's attitude towards him was now as bad as possible.

Back then, she always used the formal "you" when she spoke, but now, she hasn't even bothered with that.

However, Li Duo decided not to argue with Wen Shu about these trivial matters; they had many important things to discuss.

"The bald man told Lin Jingyu's agent, Zhao Jie. The police are currently in contact with Zhao Jie. As for whether Lin Jingyu was involved, it is still unclear."

Wen Shu crossed her arms and looked at Li Duo with a wary and distant attitude. After hearing Li Duo's words, she chuckled softly.

"I thought it was something serious, and it's just this?"

Li Duo was taken aback. "What? Isn't this progress? This is a major breakthrough!"

Wen Shu glanced at him calmly. "Progress? What kind of progress is this? This was exactly what I expected."

She looked at Li Duo and said, "I would only be surprised if Lin Jingyu were arrested, sentenced, and paid the price for his bad deeds before telling me this news!"

The extent of Zhong Wanwan's misdeeds is still under investigation.

What about Lin Jingyu?

That woman is smarter and more cunning. She never does anything herself, but she is very good at manipulating the people around her to harm her time and time again without leaving any evidence.

Zhong Wanwan is stupid, she is malicious.

Lin Jingyu is simply bad, simply ruthless, and he does bad things without anyone noticing.

Li Duo opened his mouth, unsure how to respond. He said, "Wen Shu, I know you're filled with anger right now and won't listen to any of my explanations."

"But I want to say that after knowing Rou Rou is my child, I will absolutely not hurt you. I hope you can trust me completely on this point..."

Wen Shu interrupted him directly, saying, "Sorry, I only believe in myself. I don't believe in anyone else!"

Even her grandmother is now skeptical. She believes her grandmother has no intention of harming her, but no one can say for sure whether outsiders might use her grandmother to harm her!

Didn't Su Ying use her grandmother's desire to get Rou Rou a household registration to harm her back then?

The newspaper reported that Su Ying was frantically searching for her relatives, hoping that her wish would be fulfilled and that she would never bother her grandmother again.

"I did ask them to take down the video; I was afraid that if they did it too late, it would have a bigger impact..."

Wen Shu sneered, "You think removing it will have little impact? Those who have seen it have seen it, and those who haven't seen it but have heard rumors and spread them will be even more outrageous."

She stared at Li Duo and asked, "You came here today not just to tell me that the bald man confessed to being the mastermind, right?"

Li Duo asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

He came here to tell her these things, and he admitted that he was partly trying to take credit for himself.

But he didn't expect Wen Shu to say that suddenly.

Wen Shu sneered, "Didn't you come here for Lin Jingyu?"

Li Duo was stunned for a moment, "I have already dissolved my engagement with her, and I have nothing to do with her anymore."

In response, Wen Shu laughed dismissively, "Weren't you trying to stop me from releasing the video about Lin Jingyu?"

Li Duo froze on the spot; she could no longer believe she had come to this!

He shook his head. "I'm not, and I had no idea you had Lin Jingyu's video..."

Wen Shu retorted, "Don't lie. Ma Biao already told me he has that video, you know that!"

"You suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and came here with such a lame excuse, just to stop me, didn't you?"

Li Duo suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He really didn't have such thoughts. He never expected that his attempt to curry favor would be interpreted by Wen Shu as him being after Lin Jingyu.

"Wen Shu, can you believe me for a second? I really didn't know you had the video Ma Biao gave me."

"In order to break off my engagement with Lin Jingyu, the condition was that I delete all the videos of her that Ma Biao had."

Wen Shu replied, "You don't need to explain this to me, and I have no obligation to listen to your explanation. If you've finished explaining, you can leave."

Li Duo suddenly said, "By the way, I've already spoken to the police station and told them to keep Grandma's search in mind."

Wen Shu's expression softened slightly, but she said sarcastically, "Thank you for remembering."

The two were talking in the courtyard when the gate was pushed open, and Wen Rourou appeared in the doorway, hopping around. When she saw Li Duo, she exclaimed, "Grandma, it's that bad uncle!"

Wen Rou Rou ran up to Wen Shu with a "da da da" sound, hugged Wen Shu's leg, and sniffled hard so that she could hear: "Rou Rou doesn't slack off, Rou Rou has a runny nose."

When Grandma saw Li Duo in the yard, she was taken aback for a moment, then softened her tone and said, "So it's Mr. Li. Why don't you come inside and sit down?"

Because Li Duo promised to help his grandmother urge her to find her relatives, his grandmother's attitude towards Li Duo softened.

Wen Shu said, "Grandma, you don't need to trouble yourself. He'll just come over for a bit and then leave."

Li Duo glanced at Wen Shu and nodded, "Yes, Grandma, I'll be leaving soon, so you don't need to trouble yourself."

Grandma looked a little disappointed. "Really? Then come visit next time!"

Li Duo smiled and nodded. He could clearly sense Wen Shu's impatience. He didn't want to upset Wen Shu, so he decided to take his leave now.

Li Duo was about to leave when Wen Rou Rou, still clinging to Wen Shu's leg, looked at him smugly and said, "Bad uncle, bye-bye."

Li Duo glared at Wen Rou Rou. Don't think he didn't know what this little brat was thinking. What this little brat was thinking was that Shu Shu belonged to him alone!

The phrase "Peerless Little Lotus" perfectly describes Wen Rou Rou, a cunning and mischievous little brat.
