Aside from his work at the hospital, Song Yunzheng spent every day meticulously collecting evidence of Meng Wanning's crimes. He couldn't rest easy until he got her arrested.

However, under his relentless suppression, Meng Wanning not only couldn't become a teacher, but she also couldn't find a regular job. No one dared to offer her a job because no one wanted to offend Song Yunzheng.

"I'm back..." Song Yunzheng pushed open the door and called softly into the room.

He made a point of leaving work early today to rush back to Courtyard No. 15, worried that his little girl might feel uncomfortable being alone here. On the way back, he also bought some fried skewers as a surprise for her, believing she would be even more excited than if she saw jewelry or diamonds.

Looking up, I saw Song Yunxi, Zhou Lirong, Song Xinian, and Lin Yue sitting together... playing cards!

He shook his head helplessly, realizing he had been worrying about nothing all day.

All four of them were focused on the card table, completely ignoring Song Yunzheng.

He took off his coat and hung it in the entryway, then slowly walked over to Lin Yue. Wow, not bad, the little girl has the most money in front of her.

"Honey, you're back! Make yourself at home." Lin Yue's attention was completely focused on the cards; she didn't even look up. She was already grateful he even greeted her; glancing at the three people beside her, she became even more engrossed.

Song Yunzheng sat down next to Lin Yue and said with a smile, "Girl, you're doing great! Looks like you're the one who earned the most."

Lin Yue looked at Song Yunzheng pitifully, her eyes full of resentment, "Oh, honey, you really know how to flatter people. The three of them put the money on the table because their drawers were already full, while mine was completely empty... They are all big winners, and I'm the only one who lost the most!"

Song Yunzheng was amused by her adorable appearance. "The three of them are seasoned veterans who have seen it all. How could you, a newbie, possibly outmaneuver them?"

Just then, Zhou Lirong's excited voice came over, "Hahaha, I won again! I'm so sorry, Yueyue, you'd better pay us!"

Lin Yue looked at the cards in her hand, so excited she almost jumped up. "Ah! I was just one step away! Mom and Dad, Yunxi, how can you bear to lose my money?"

"Haha, have mercy on me, your husband used to beat the three of us like this too." Zhou Lirong laughed heartily as she counted her money.

Song Xinian and Song Yunxi nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Lin Yue turned and glared at Song Yunzheng, saying in an extremely shameless manner, "It's all your fault for distracting me. If we lose this round, it's on you!"

Song Yunzheng affectionately patted the top of her head, "Okay, if you lose, it's all on me."

Seeing this, Song Yunxi chuckled and added, "Good brother, since I lost, you might as well count it as a loss too."

Song Yunzheng lifted his eyelids, glanced at her sideways, and said slowly, "Calculate? We need to calculate it properly..."

Upon hearing this, Song Yunxi felt a chill run down her spine and instantly understood what her brother meant. She quickly said, "Um, I... I was just saying that, brother, don't take it seriously."

This is the power of bloodline suppression; without even getting angry, a single, casual remark is enough to terrify you.

"Yunzheng, come to the study with me." Song Xinian suddenly stood up and turned to walk towards the study.

Song Yunzheng gently pinched Lin Yue's cheek, smiled tenderly at her, and turned to follow closely behind his father.

"How far has things progressed?" Song Xinian walked to the desk and sat down, her tone serious.

"The perpetrator refused to confess who ordered him, and the real killer is cunningly hiding behind the scenes. We still have too little evidence, and it will take time for the police to follow the clues and find the mastermind."

After listening, Song Xinian frowned slightly, nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, slowly said, "The Great Memory Recovery Method is not allowed now, so it is indeed not easy to find out who is behind it. It will definitely take some time and effort."

"Do you need my help?"

Song Yunzheng shook his head and refused, "I have plenty of ways to deal with this kind of person, don't dirty your hands."

Looking at his son, Song Xinian's eyes were full of admiration. He was more elegant and charismatic than Song Xinian had been back then.

He nodded slightly. "Okay, let's go out for dinner then."

Stepping out of the study, Song Yunzheng felt a warmth in his heart at the scene before him. The three people chatting on the sofa all had smiles on their faces, especially Lin Yue, whose eyes sometimes widened and sometimes curved into crescent shapes with laughter, making her look lively and lovely.

Happy people are like the bright stars in the night sky, shining with similar light; while unhappy people are like withered petals, each with their own misery and sorrow.

Meng Wanning is the latter.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived as scheduled, and families are reunited to welcome the new year.

Meng Wanning, on the other hand, lay alone in her hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.

Song Yunzheng suppressed her at every turn, and even secretly bribed some entertainment news media to spread her previous reckless behavior, which led to her being cyberbullied and subjected to all kinds of insults.

She had no job and no income; every day she was met with endless insults and threats from Brother Kun.

She could only stay at home all day, not daring to step out of the house. Because her wounds had just healed and she was mentally tormented, her body could not take it and she fainted at home. Fortunately, Amy found her in time and took her to the hospital.

Amy's parents were furious when they learned that their daughter was getting close to Meng Wanning, and even threatened to sever ties with her! Under these circumstances, anyone who dares to associate with Meng Wanning is openly provoking Song Yunzheng.

Moreover, their family's "three and a half acres of land" depended on Chengye's livelihood.
