Lin Wei's words were undoubtedly absurd.

But it was precisely because of these absurd words that his previous doubts were explained.

"No wonder you risked your life to protect your brother."

And in many things, she seemed to possess prophetic abilities.

“I never expected these people to be so malicious. They just wanted me to feel guilty, so they arranged for Yuanyuan to be lost in my hands, so that they could send me away and cover up the fact that my mother and Xiao Yuanbing were together.”

Lin Wei glanced at Shen Jize and said, "That's all I know, but he might not be so sure."

Lin Wei and Shen Jize turned to Ni Qingguo together, and without saying a word, they had already made him beg for mercy.

"No, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

It's unclear how much psychological trauma Shen Jize inflicted on Ni Qingguo in his past life, but before he could even speak, Ni Qingguo was already preparing to confess.

"I probably can't listen to this now, I'll go out first."

As Lin Wei was about to leave the factory with Lin Yuan, Ni Qingguo hurriedly shouted, "Weiwei, don't go! Don't go! I'm your uncle, your own uncle! You can't hand me over to him! They'll kill me!"

"No, you're really out of your mind. You were just trying to kill me, and now you're trying to use family ties and morality to blackmail me. Do you think I'd..."

Before Lin Wei could finish speaking, Ni Qingguo suddenly broke free of one hand, pulled out the grenade he had hidden behind his back, bit off the safety pin, and threw it in front of them.

"Lin Wei, prepare to die."

Lin Wei didn't even have time to react. Just as she was holding her younger brother in her arms, the lightning bolt crackled and sparked, then went off with a small 'bang'.

Lin Wei was dumbfounded. "No, you really are stupid. Why did you buy fireworks? These things won't kill you."

Ni Qingguo was also dumbfounded.

He didn't buy fireworks, of course; they were given to him by that person.

Mingming—

Xiao Zeng, who was standing next to Shen Jize, coughed lightly and explained, "We found your whereabouts a long time ago. Although we didn't catch up with the person who gave you the things, you are too unvigilant. We have plenty of opportunities to replace him."

And so, the fireworks, which were so obviously fake, were made to look incredibly real by Ni Qingguo.

If someone like him could succeed, it would be the greatest insult to their abilities.

-

"Tell me, who exactly are you colluding with?"

Knowing he was going to die, Ni Qingguo refused to say anything.

He understood that as long as that person was still alive, neither Shen Jize nor Lin Wei would have a good life in the future.

"Kill me, kill me! What haven't you done, Second Master Shen? What? You don't even dare to kill a person? Or are you afraid to kill in front of Lin Wei, worried about ruining your image as a good person in her eyes?"

Shen Jize pulled out his gun and stepped forward mockingly, "Trying to provoke me? It won't work, but I really want to torture you."

'Bang, bang, bang'

Shen Jize removed a peanut from Ni Qingguo's right shoulder and both legs.

Ni Qingguo's face turned red with pain, and he almost choked.

"No need to pretend anymore. This level of injury won't kill anyone. Or perhaps you want me to use another method."

"Shen Qingji".

A name appeared in Lin Wei's mind, and she murmured it out.

Upon hearing the name, Shen Jize turned around incredulously, "Who did you just say?"

“Shen Qingji? Do you know him? He also has the surname Shen. I remember Ni Qingguo mentioned this name in my past life. He always mocked me whenever I mentioned this name, even if it wasn’t much. But I do have a vague impression of him.”

"You're talking nonsense, I don't know this person at all." Ni Qingguo was in excruciating pain, but he still managed to explain Lin Wei's words.

Lin Wei found it strange, "Why are you so agitated? If it's not true, it's not true. Your reaction now seems to confirm what I said."

So who exactly is Shen Qingji?

Lin Wei looked at Shen Jize.

Shen Jize lunged forward and grabbed Ni Qingguo by the neck.

He didn't ask a single question, yet he already got the answer he wanted.

Shen Jize released his grip, turned around, and left the warehouse.

His silhouette seemed more forlorn than before.

In the end, Ni Qingguo was taken away by Shen Jize's men.

Lin Wei was also taken home by them.

The entrance to the alley.

Seeing that Lin Wei and Lin Yuan had returned safely, Lin Xiaomeng finally felt relieved.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Are you all alright? Go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, so that you don't suffer any internal injuries."

“I’m fine. Yuanyuan needs to be checked. He was beaten by Ni Qingguo. I’m worried that it might affect his ears. Also, his hands and feet were tied up and he was hanging in mid-air for a long time.”

Lin Yuan comforted her, "Sister, Aunt, I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital."

"Honey, it'll be more reassuring to have it checked."

The two rushed to the hospital, and while Lin Yuan was getting a check-up, Lin Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask about what had happened.

Lin Wei only concealed the fact that she had been reborn; she told the truth about everything else.

“They had already sent people to follow us. They acted as soon as there was any danger. The person targeting him from behind was quite capable, and it took some effort.”

Lin Xiaomeng asked, "What happens after that? Ni Qingguo has been arrested, so this matter should be over, right?"

Is it over?

Lin Wei had no idea.

"Anyway, Ni Qingguo will never appear in front of us again, as for the others..."

Lin Wei really couldn't say for sure.

-

After returning home, Shen Jize locked himself in his room and did not eat or drink for three days and three nights, nor did he respond to anyone.

Zeng used every trick in the book and, with no other choice, managed to 'invite' Lin Wei over.

"I'm really fed up. What am I? It's no use coming to me. Besides, I'm not familiar with your second master, and I don't even know who this Shen Qingji is. How can I persuade him?"

Zeng awkwardly avoided her question.

Lin Wei was speechless. "See, I asked you but you won't tell me. Of course, even if you did know, it might be difficult to persuade you otherwise. Alright, let me go now."

“Miss Lin, our Second Master has done so much for you, you can’t just abandon him.”

Seeing Lin Wei turn to leave, Xiao Zeng used a moral blackmail tactic to take her to the kitchen, cooked her four dishes and a soup, and then personally escorted her home.

"Next time you need something like this, just bring the ingredients over. I can cook at home, and you can take them back with you. But there probably won't be a next time. I'm starting school soon, so if possible, please don't come looking for me."

Zeng didn't dare to agree and silently went home.

When I returned, I saw Shen Jize eating lunch at the dining table as if nothing had happened.

"Second Master, you've finally come out."

"This tastes familiar, did Lin Wei make it?" Shen Jize asked. "Have you asked Ni Qingguo everything you need to know?"

Xiao Zeng said somewhat awkwardly, "I asked him, and we've used every trick in the book we could. He did say a lot of things, but... it's all nonsense. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Let me see it."
