When Zhan Tianyou found Li Bing, Li Bing eagerly poured out his suspicions. Upon hearing this, Zhan Tianyou also felt that Lin Wan was highly suspicious and immediately led a group to the Lin family's residence. The neighbors, hearing that they had come looking for Lin Jianhua's family again, all wore expressions of schadenfreude. Over the past year, Lin Jianhua and Yu Cui had frequently clashed with their neighbors, even resorting to physical violence on several occasions, thus harboring deep resentment towards them.

Lin Wan, filled with joy, boarded the train bound for Beijing. This was her first time riding a train, and she felt both excited and a little nervous. After all, for someone who had never left her hometown before, this solo journey was undoubtedly full of unknowns and challenges.

Initially, Lin Wan couldn't buy a train ticket to Beijing. Just as she was getting anxious, a seemingly "kind" old woman appeared. This old woman not only offered to sell Lin Wan an extra ticket, but also kindly helped her with her luggage. This made Lin Wan deeply feel the kindness from a stranger.

Finally, Lin Wan boarded the train smoothly, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down a little. After finding her seat, she carefully settled her luggage before taking in her surroundings.

Just then, the ticket seller, an elderly woman, approached Lin Wan with a beaming smile and began chatting warmly with her. Lin Wan, being rather naive, was flattered by the woman's enthusiasm and soon became acquainted with her.

After the train had been traveling for some time, Lin Wan felt extremely thirsty. Seeing this, the old woman kindly handed her a bottle of water. Without thinking, Lin Wan drank it all in one gulp, but not long after, she felt dizzy and her consciousness gradually faded.

When she awoke again, she found herself in a strange place, her luggage and valuables gone. She cried out in terror, but no one answered.

Zhan Tianyou and his men searched everywhere Lin Wan might be hiding, but to no avail. Realizing Lin Wan might have escaped, he immediately went to the train station to look for her. After some investigation, they found the suspicious old woman. Li Ming quickly led his men to follow the clues, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

Meanwhile, Lin Jin was at the Gong family home, where, as a guest, she received a warm welcome from Old Madam Gong. Old Madam Gong smiled kindly, affectionately holding Lin Jin's hand and chatting intimately with her, as if the two shared a deep friendship. Old Master Gong sat quietly to the side, occasionally interjecting a few words, further enhancing the harmonious atmosphere.

Just then, the eldest son of the Gong family arrived. When they entered, Lin Jin and Old Madam Gong had just finished lunch and were leisurely sunbathing in the courtyard. As soon as Zhu Susu stepped inside, she saw Old Madam Gong affectionately holding Lin Jin's hand. The intimate way they looked instantly filled her with overwhelming jealousy.

Standing next to Zhu Susu, Gong Moting also looked displeased, her gaze fixed on Lin Jin. Especially when she caught sight of the jade bracelet on Lin Jin's wrist, jealousy spread like wildfire in her heart, almost consuming her.

When Old Madam Gong saw that Gong Laoda had arrived empty-handed with his wife and children, she couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased. However, being an elder, she still retained her composure and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Zhu Susu quickly smiled apologetically, "It's been quite a while since I've visited you and Father, so I brought the children to pay our respects." As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and feigned surprise, asking, "But this young lady is...?"

In fact, Lin Jin already knew about Zhu Susu and the Gong family's situation. Gong Moze had previously told Lin Jin without reservation about his relationships with everyone in the Gong family, and even the conflict between him and his father. Therefore, when faced with Zhu Susu's question, Lin Jin remained calm and composed, politely stood up, and introduced herself with a faint smile: "Hello, my name is Lin Jin, and I am Moze's girlfriend."

Zhu Susu's lips twitched slightly, and she forced a smile, saying, "Oh, so this is Mo Ze's girlfriend. She looks quite gentle. Mo Ze is really something, he didn't tell us sooner that he had a girlfriend. His father and I have been worrying about his marriage all day long, and we didn't expect that the girl would come to our door and we were still kept in the dark!" As she spoke, Zhu Susu's gaze unconsciously fell on the jade bracelet on Lin Jin's wrist.

Lin Jin could easily hear the sarcasm in her words; it was clearly an accusation that she and Gong Moze were ill-mannered and lacked manners. Lin Jin's anger flared up instantly, and she was about to retort when she heard Old Madam Gong say, "You call yourselves parents? Moze was raised by my grandfather and me!"

As she spoke, Grandma Gong looked directly at the eldest son and said, "Eldest son, tell me, have you ever fulfilled any of your responsibilities as a father? How many times did you hold Mo Ze when he was a child?"

Faced with his mother's questioning, Gong Jun's lips moved as if he wanted to defend himself, but in the end he lowered his head and remained silent, his face full of guilt.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Gong became even more disgusted with her eldest son, thinking he was a good-for-nothing who was completely controlled by his wife and had no opinions of his own.

At this moment, Gong Moting strode up to Lin Jin, her face full of undisguised contempt and hostility, and asked in a shrill voice, "You country bumpkin like you, do you even deserve to enter our Gong family? You must have used some underhanded means to bewitch my brother!"

Lin Jin didn't back down. She stepped forward to face Gong Moting, her gaze firm and calm, and replied without fear: "What era are we living in? You're still so feudal! What does my business with Mo Ze have to do with you, an outsider?"

Grandma Gong was already dissatisfied with Gong Moting, and when she heard her speak to Lin Jin like that, her face instantly darkened, and she angrily scolded, "How can you be so ill-mannered! Is this how your parents raised you? You're supposed to be in college? I think you should just go home as soon as possible!"

Gong Moting was so frightened by Old Madam Gong's words that her face turned pale. She covered her face like a startled rabbit and hurriedly ran into the living room to cry to Old Master Gong.

Lin Jin watched Gong Moting's departing figure without feeling any pity, only thinking that Gong Moting was extremely foolish.
