"Madam, what should we do now?" Jiang Nan asked with difficulty. "Should we notify Master Zhan and have Miss Zaozao under control?"

"Let me calm down first. There are still many things I haven't sorted out." Qiao Wanwan felt as if all her strength had been drained. "Send someone to keep an eye on Zaozao in secret, and report her every move to me."

“Yes.” Jiang Nan looked at Xu Lai. “And what about her?”

Qiao Wanwan composed herself and asked, "Xu Lai, the environment here is alright, the air is good, it's indeed a good place to rest and prepare for childbirth, so you can stay here with peace of mind."

Xu Lai looked at her nervously, "Madam Zhan, aren't you angry with me?"

“You’re too trusting. You need to change that. Otherwise, you’ll be sold out and still be counting the money for the seller.” Qiao Wanwan said. “But you didn’t lay a hand on me after all, so I have no reason to blame you. I hope everything goes well for you and that you and your child are safe.”

Xu Lai bowed deeply to her, "I'm sorry. You've helped me in so many ways, and I repaid your kindness with enmity and misunderstood you, almost hurting you. I really didn't mean to, and I will never make such a silly mistake again."

"Take good care of yourself," Qiao Wanwan asked. "By the way, did you know you were here early on?"

“She doesn’t know. After all, she’s your sister, so I have to be careful. To protect my child, I haven’t told anyone where I am. Even after I came here, I don’t go out. I stay in my room every day.”

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "That's good. I will give you an answer about He Songling's death once the truth comes out. Just wait patiently."

"Thank you..." Xu Lai suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Madam Zhan, something suddenly came to mind these days."

"What's up?"

“I remember He Yu once told me that the mastermind behind the scenes... is Lin Feng. Once, when he was drunk, he said something unintentionally. Lin Feng said that even if he died at Zhan Jingting's hands one day, he could still avenge Lin Mo, because his death would not be the end, but the beginning.”

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know. He Yu didn't understand either, and just took it as Lin Feng's drunken ramblings and let it go. But in the past few days, it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps this matter did not end with Lin Feng's death. It's not impossible that there is someone behind Lin Feng. What do you think?"

"Perhaps." Qiao Wanwan didn't want to think about it right now. "You must protect yourself."

"I will."

......

After leaving Xu Lai's place, Qiao Wanwan went straight to the airport and flew back to the capital.

When she got home, Zhan Jingting had not yet come home from get off work.

Qiao Wanwan went back to her room to catch up on sleep, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep at all.

Her mind was in complete chaos, and she couldn't calm down and think at all.

The phone suddenly rang. Qiao Wanwan picked it up and saw that it was Cheng Zaozao calling.

She took a deep breath and answered the call, "Zaozao?"

"Sis, I called home last night, and Aunt Zheng said you weren't staying at home. Where did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere. It's been a long time since I've been to the Imperial View Group. I just went for a look around, but I was too lazy to go home that night, so I stayed at the group for the night and had some alone time with Jingting."

"I see," Cheng Zaozao said with a smile. "You two are quite romantic."

“Even after having children, you still need to enjoy time alone together from time to time,” Qiao Wanwan said. “You’ll understand when you meet the man you like and get married.”

"I don't have my sister's good fortune."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and asked, "How's your move going?"

"I've already moved in. I was planning to invite you over for a housewarming party today, but you weren't home, so I didn't call you to avoid bothering you."

"My sister is so thoughtful," Qiao Wanwan said. "Let's do it another day. I'll come visit you sometime."

"Okay, sis, you absolutely have to come."

"must."

......

That evening, Zhan Jingting returned and met Qiao Wanwan directly.

"Jiangnan told me everything, are you alright?"

Qiao Wanwan tugged at the corners of her lips and said, "Master said that as long as it's not you who betrayed me, the betrayals of others are not that important to me. But Jing Ting, I still can't accept it."

Zhan Jingting squatted down in front of her. "Wanwan, I didn't originally intend for you to face this matter so soon."

"You knew all along, didn't you?" Qiao Wanwan looked at him. "How did you figure it out?"

“Outsiders see things more clearly.” Zhan Jingting touched her cheek. “She came back safely, and you’re all busy celebrating and making promises. But have you thought about it? Lin Feng hates you so much. If Zaozao, a girl, had fallen into Lin Feng’s hands, she would have been badly injured, if not killed. Is it possible for her to come back unharmed? Just because of your threat, saying that if Zaozao lost even a single hair, you would never let him off the hook? If he could be scared by that, he would never dare to go against us.”

“Yes…” Qiao Wanwan also realized, “Lin Feng is ruthless and his men are all desperate criminals, many of whom are wanted criminals. How could he easily let go of such a beautiful girl as Zaozao? I was so happy that I didn’t think about the strangeness of this matter at all.”

Zhan Jingting continued, "So I started to pay attention to her. She was very cautious and careful, and she usually had a weak and pitiful image. I thought that even if I said it, no one would believe that she was a person who would do evil."

“Wanwan, I suspect she killed He Songling. She drugged her assistant, made her fall into a coma, and then disguised herself as the assistant and flew to the city where He Songling was, where she killed her with her own hands.”

Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened. "...Is there any direct evidence?"
