The family sat together, laughter filling the room with the festive spirit of the Lunar New Year. Li Jin looked at the table laden with delicious food, but her mind was still preoccupied with Qin Guodong's situation. She planned to find an opportunity to ask her godfather how things were going after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, as everyone was enjoying their meal, Yu Qi suddenly said, "This year's New Year's Eve dinner is all thanks to Li Jin, Ya Ya, and Xiao Bei. Their cooking skills are simply superb." Ou Ya Ya replied with a smile, "As long as everyone is enjoying themselves, that's good. The New Year is all about being lively and festive." Tian Xiao Bei also nodded in agreement, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Chief Fu raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a toast as a family, wishing each other a smooth and peaceful new year." Everyone responded enthusiastically, and the clinking of glasses was filled with their hopes for the new year.

Yu Liang put down his chopsticks and looked at Grandpa Yu, saying, "Grandpa, the Spring Festival couplets you wrote this year are really beautiful. Many neighbors have praised them." Grandpa Yu's face was full of pride when he heard this. "Writing Spring Festival couplets is a skill passed down from our ancestors. We can't let it go." Gong Moze also chimed in from the side, "Grandpa, I really need to learn more from your calligraphy."

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, Yu Zhenzhen suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I heard something at work today. A major case was recently cracked in Beijing. Apparently, a company colluded with some people from other units to try to seize the supply rights of important materials through improper means."

Upon hearing this, Li Jin's heart tightened, and she instinctively looked at Yu Zhenzhen. Yu Zhenzhen continued, "I heard that all those people were caught on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. I don't know the specific details yet, but it seems that quite a few people were involved."

Li Jin couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you know which unit and which company it is?" Yu Zhenzhen was taken aback for a moment and said, "It seems to be your godfather's unit and a company called Jingu Steel Bar Manufacturing Company. What's wrong, Xiao Jin, do you know about this?"

Li Jin took a deep breath and said, "I know some things. Actually, I noticed something was off about my godfather's workplace before. Lin Nana from Jingu Company, formerly known as Lin Wan, is someone I know. I even told my godfather about it."

Upon hearing this, Chief Fu's expression turned serious. He asked, "Xiao Jin, why didn't you say so earlier? This is no small matter." Li Jin said somewhat aggrievedly, "My godfather wouldn't let me get involved. He said he had evidence and told me not to interfere, lest there be danger."

Grandpa Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "Guodong is a sensible boy. It seems he had a good grasp of the situation and was waiting for the right moment to make his move."

Yu Qi frowned and analyzed, "I guess this Director Wu colluded with Jingu Company to make huge profits, but he didn't expect Guo Dong to find out. Guo Dong must be worried about alerting them, so he hasn't made a sound."

Ou Yaya held Li Jin's hand and comforted him, "It's all good now. Those people have been caught, and your godfather is safe. This is a great thing for the New Year."

Li Jin nodded and said, "I only found out later that my godfather had already obtained evidence of their collusion and had been secretly investigating. I guess Uncle Wanyou was also arranged by him to assist them in secret."

Yu Liang said in surprise, "I didn't expect Uncle Guodong to solve such a big problem so quietly. He's really amazing."

Tian Xiaobei also sighed, "Yes, if this isn't handled properly, the losses to the organization and the country will be enormous."

Commander Fu said with satisfaction, "Guodong's years of work experience haven't been for nothing. He's made a great contribution this time."

Yu Zhenzhen said with a smile, "It seems that you should learn more from Xiao Jin's godfather in the future and learn from his calm and steady way of doing things."

Everyone discussed it animatedly, their admiration for Qin Guodong evident in their words. Li Jin felt completely at ease; the weight that had been hanging over her shoulders had finally been lifted.

Just then, firecrackers popped and fireworks lit up the night sky. The new year officially began in this joyful, peaceful, and poignant atmosphere. The family continued to enjoy their New Year's Eve dinner, laughter echoing throughout the house, as if all their worries had vanished with the resolution of the major event on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. They shared a hope for a better new year, free from intrigue and scheming, filled only with simple and pure happiness. This unexpected event made the New Year's Eve dinner even more unforgettable, becoming a precious memory for the family.
