"Don't worry about it." Jin Yining rubbed his temples. "Old A already has a lead. As long as we catch him, you'll be safe."

Shang Ning nodded to indicate that he understood. "You'd say Lin Tingyu's actions this time could be considered instigation of a crime, right?"

Jin Yining nodded, "In a sense, instigating crime is actually more inclined to thought crime."

"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. He thinks himself the master of everything, but he is more enslaved than anything else."

"You've read Rousseau's 'The Social Contract'?" Jin Yining asked curiously.

"I flipped through these videos when I was bored, and when I saw Lin Tingyu, I suddenly felt that this sentence was so fitting for her." Shang Ning sat in her chair, hugging her legs, watching the person in the video. "Tell me, what are shackles?"

"You still have the mood to think about this?" Jin Yining chuckled, completely underestimating her ability to accept things. He thought she would be unhappy, so he contacted her after filming ended. He didn't expect her to still have the mood to discuss the issue of thought crimes with him.

"I can't go out either, and I can't drag her into an alley, put a sack over her head, and beat her up, so I'll just have to satisfy my mental urges and see what crime she actually committed." Shang Ning really did have the idea of ​​dragging her out and beating her to the ground.

But she valued her life.

"The desire to control everything, the inherent arrogance of humankind, and the excessive pursuit of what one likes are all ways of shackles."

“Excessive.” Shang Ning repeated these two words, looking at the person in the video. Jin Yining always managed to hit the nail on the head.

In other words, it's called having the same values.

"That's right. For example, there's always a limit to everything. Excessive desires and excessive avoidance are both ways of putting shackles on yourself."

Shang Ning: "..."

Shang Ning suddenly felt a soreness in her teeth. Looking at Jin Yining, who was looking very serious, she realized she had to take back her earlier thought that they shared the same values.

Have you ever heard this saying?

"Never heard of it." Shang Ning refused to listen to what he was about to say without even thinking.

This time, it was Jin Yining's turn to imitate her toothache. Jin Yining glanced outside and saw that things hadn't been arranged yet. Qin Wei got into the car from outside, sat directly opposite Jin Yining, put his legs up to the side, and then leaned back in his seat to take out his phone to play games.

“Next time, whether it’s my aunt or someone else who comes to you about this, just name your price. We can split it 50/50 at most.” Jin Yining changed the subject. Sometimes, it’s important to know when to stop.

"Three for you, seven for me." Shang Ning didn't think this behavior was bad at all, since it would make money anyway.

Qin Wei glanced at Shang Ning in the video. The fraudulent couple was online, shameless to the extreme.

Jin Yining leaned back in his chair, watching the person still haggling with him. "Let's get the money first."

Just as Shang Ning was about to say something, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "The money-giver is here."

After the video call ended, Qin Wei finally spoke, "When are you planning to go see Lin Shumo? Hasn't the court date already been set?"

Jin Yining nodded. Lin Shumo was going to go find him, but his goal was to catch him directly and eliminate any future trouble.

Shang Ning answered the phone, tapped the table with her fingertip, then spun her chair around and listened to the person on the other end speak first.
