The secretary was startled by Hai Lin's words, and then he replied: "Secretary, don't worry, I will handle today's matter properly. As for the child, is there anything I can do?"

Hai Lin sighed deeply, looked at Secretary Sun and said, "I knew you were worried about this. What I'm doing now has already been noticed by the higher-ups. Once all the evidence is collected, I will be taken away for trial. Are you still resentful of me for not promoting you in the past five years, so you want me to keep making mistakes?"

Secretary Sun's face froze, and he hurriedly explained, "Secretary, you misunderstood. I've never had such thoughts. Over the past five years, I've worked with you on many things, and I know full well that I can't stay out of it. I've never thought of staying out of it."

Hai Lin sighed, looked at Secretary Sun, and said, "I want to protect you now. I will arrange for you to be assigned to another position during this period. If the higher-ups investigate, you can say it was my idea and that you were forced to participate, or even knew nothing about some of the things."

Secretary Sun smiled and sighed after hearing this. "What's wrong with you? Are you giving up on your plan to take over all the industries in Jincheng? There are only three of the five major families left: the Song family, the Liu family, and the Lu family. Aren't you still planning to go to Rongjing and take over the Gu family?"

Hai Lin also sighed, a wry smile on his face. "Please take me to the office first. I need to make some new plans. Also, let's pretend today never happened. Those who followed us will receive severance pay within five days. After all, no one wants to go to jail."

He has seriously violated the rules.

"Yes, I will do as you say."

…

Seeing her daughter safe and sound, Song Yaqing felt relieved. She hugged Chuchu excitedly, her eyes slightly moist, "Chuchu, are you okay? You really scared your mother."

Chuchu smiled, stretched out her tender little hand, patted Song Yaqing's back, and comforted her: "Mom, I'm really fine. Look, I'm back intact, right?"

Song Yaqing wiped away the tears from her eyes, but the worry in her heart was still hard to dissipate. She turned and asked, "Aunt Chai said that you had a private chat with Hai Lin. What did you talk about?"

Chuchu smiled, turned her gaze to the relieved Chai Jingwen, and replied, "Mom, we talked about his identity and his plans. Most importantly, I successfully made him reveal his true colors. He should be more restrained in the future."

After hearing this, Song Yaqing felt relieved and a pleased smile appeared on her face. She gently stroked Chuchu's head.

Chuchu excitedly shared the good news with everyone: "Good news keeps coming! Mom, you can continue to run the store with peace of mind. Aunt Chai will be safe in Jincheng, and Zhou Rui and his brother can freely choose the school of their choice."

Zhou Rui sat quietly by the side, unable to say a word.

Chai Jingwen was filled with gratitude. She knew Chuchu was extraordinary, but some things involved privacy, so she couldn't ask too much. So, she tried hard to suppress her curiosity and impulse.

"Chu Chu, thank you so much." Chai Jingwen turned to Chu Chu and said sincerely. Then, she realized it was time to leave so as not to disturb Song Yaqing too much. "Yaqing, we should leave."

Chai Jingwen stood up, ready to thank Song Yaqing solemnly, but was interrupted by a warm hug from Song Yaqing: "Awen, don't say that, you didn't do anything wrong, don't blame yourself. We are all friends, and it's only right to help each other."

Chai Jingwen was deeply moved by this sincere friendship, tears welling in her eyes. "Yaqing, I'm so sorry, and thank you so much. You will always be my most precious friend. In the days ahead, I will prove my resolve with my actions."

"Okay, it depends on your performance." Song Yaqing wiped away Chai Jingwen's tears.

Then I sent Chai Jingwen away.

After Chu Chu said goodbye to everyone, she returned to her room and curled up on the soft sofa with her arms and legs spread out. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm really exhausted today. I really want to sleep like this for three days and three nights."

Qingtian stood aside, his brows furrowed, and said with concern: "Princess Di, today's situation is too dangerous. Fortunately, the Demon Lord arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Chu Chu smiled lightly upon hearing this, as if she didn't care at all. "Do you think this princess is taking this risk alone? I have a backup plan."

Tian Yi listened from the side and couldn't help wondering, "When Di Ji mentioned the backup plan, could it be that she was referring to me and Qing Tian?"

Tian Yi still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the previous battle. His four claws couldn't help but weaken. "Princess Di, even if the four of us join forces, I'm afraid we are no match for the demon world."

Chuchu shook her head slightly, a mischievous smile on her lips, "Of course not. But it must be kept secret."

Then, she changed the subject and said seriously, "But speaking of which, where did Chi Yan and Yan Lie go? I can't even sense their presence at all."

She thought for a moment and continued, "Qingtian, you will be responsible for finding Chi Yan's whereabouts; Tianyi, you will be responsible for tracking Yan Lie. Be sure to proceed with caution, the power of the demon world should not be underestimated."

Chu Chu nodded, her expression serious. "I understand. But we must find them. Be careful, and report to me immediately if you find anything."

The cat and the dog should leave.

…

Today was the weekend, and the afternoon sun shone obliquely into the living room. Chu Fei walked into the house, dragging her heavy steps and a backpack full of books. Her face was full of fatigue. After slumping onto the sofa, she couldn't help but complain, "Third year of high school is really exhausting. It's just not a life for human beings."
