Speaking of the agreement, Lin Chuan felt even more numb, and his gaze towards the girl became somewhat insecure. "Miss Qi, this agreement to sever the mother-son relationship seems to be common in China..."

"The law does not recognize it."

Lin Chuan was interrupted by the girl before he could finish speaking. She looked at Lin Chuan as if she could read his mind.

“I am certainly familiar with Chinese law, but the lawyer’s certification is genuine, and the official seal is genuine. As long as it is determined to some extent that Tong Lu is not his biological child, wouldn’t everything be resolved?”

According to Chinese law, there is no such thing as a severance agreement between biological children, unless... Tong Lu is not their biological child. As long as it is proven that Tong Lu is not their biological child, and this is certified by a lawyer, the agreement will be legally binding.

Lin Chuan was dumbfounded as he watched Qi Jiu slowly walk away.

So, he used his connections to create a fake identity!

Although... it's not impossible.

Looking at Tong Lu's family situation, it would be better to help her escape her misery. However, he is an honest official, and if he finds out about this, is it really a good thing?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Jiu looked at the man in front of her and tilted her head, asking, "Why are you here?"

The man smiled, "I was worried you might run into trouble." He glanced at Tong Lu, who was standing silently beside him, and said, "Your plane ticket has already been changed, so you can still leave now. If you don't want to leave in such a hurry, I can help you arrange a room."

Tong Lu was taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.

At the airport, everyone else was carrying large bags and small bags, but Tong Lu only had a small backpack, so she didn't even need to check her luggage.

Qi Jiu looked at her and said, "When you arrive, Shi Yu will pick you up. There will be daily necessities and a place to stay there. If you have any questions, just ask Shi Yu. If you encounter anything that you can't say, come to me."

Seeing Tong Lu's slightly swollen eyes, Qi Jiu thought she was reluctant to leave and smiled.

"Don't worry, even though you don't have a home in China now, you can work and study with Shiyu. When you come back, eight or nine houses will be nothing. We are friends, and you still have us in China."

Designers can earn a decent living; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen this path in the first place.

Unexpectedly, Tong Lu shook her head and smiled.

“I have no attachment to this place anymore. I just want to thank you. We haven’t known each other for very long, but you’ve helped me so much. Don’t worry, I will definitely pay you back the 500,000 once I’ve made some money.”

Qi Jiu suddenly smiled and waved her hand dismissively, "No need, I'm not short of money. I just think it's worth spending 500,000 to buy the personal freedom of a design genius. I believe others would think the same way."

Tong Lu left, leaving behind the city that brought her both joy and pain.

Watching her figure gradually disappear, the girl dialed a number for Yuan Ye. He seemed to be waiting for her call and answered quickly.

"Teacher G?"

"Don't worry, Tong Lu's matter has been resolved."

Yuan, who was sleeping soundly, was so happy that she stammered, "Thank you, thank you, Teacher G. This child is so lucky to have met you!"

This matter is now behind us, and Tong Lu is about to begin a new life.

"What was it about when you called me earlier?" Qi Jiu looked at the man beside her and curled the corners of her lips.

"I think I've got some news about that man and woman from before."

After leaving the airport, Qi Jiu and Qi Silin returned to the villa area.

The man changed into casual clothes and led Qi Jiu to the study. He took out a tracking device, and when his finger touched the screen, the paused page suddenly started moving.

This is an advanced real-time imaging device.

The scene depicted a perfectly normal commercial street, but the girl blinked when she suddenly saw the two figures.

Their attire was no different from that of the people around them; as the temperature dropped in China, they wore overcoats and hats.

It looks fine at first glance, but that's precisely the problem.

Despite having a foreign face, he blends in with the Chinese community. Although there are many foreigners in China, most of them have obtained Chinese long-term residence permits.

However, these two people were behaving too deliberately, and the difference was immediately apparent, which is why those around them didn't notice anything amiss. Because they didn't have an omniscient perspective.

"Are these two people strolling through Chinatown?"

Qi Silin nodded, finding it somewhat amusing. Although he was reluctant to admit it, it was the truth. The two of them were having a pretty comfortable time in China.

Qi Jiu: "..."

Without hesitation, the two quickly arrived near Chinatown. At this point, they took advantage of their identities and behaved very intimately.

When they arrived, the man and woman were lingering at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, seemingly contemplating what to eat next.

Judging from the woman's thoughts, she seemed to want to go eat hot pot, but the man next to her hesitated.

But this is only the surface. According to Xu Feng's intelligence, these two men have blood on their hands, and it seems they came to China to find someone.

As for who it is... we haven't found out yet.

Qi Jiu and Qi Silin walked side by side, eating and drinking as if they were a young couple having fun in the business world.

But upon closer inspection, one will notice that their focus remains always on this man and woman. They change their routes and actions according to the presence of this man and woman.

Qi Jiu followed the woman into the bathroom, as did Qi Silin.

However, when the two of them came out again, they each had someone with them on their arms, like close sisters or brothers. Gradually, Bainian left Chinatown until he disappeared from sight.

After a long while, in a villa in the suburbs, the girl held a teacup, the warmth from her palms spreading throughout her body with the steam of the tea.

Liu Yun and Lin Yan were controlling a man and a woman on the side.

"That's about it."

Lin Yan understood immediately upon hearing this. Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up a basin full of water from the side and threw it directly at the two people's faces.

Although water was spilled all over the ground, they were awake.

The two people, who were slowly waking up, were stunned by the unfamiliar environment. Their eyes were full of vigilance. Just as they were about to make a move, they were restrained by a force. Looking down, they realized that they were tied up with ropes.

Upon seeing this, the two panicked and tried to struggle, but no matter how hard they tried, the ropes binding them didn't loosen at all.

Qi Jiu sat on the sofa, watching their actions, and pursed her lips.

"Don't waste your energy. The knots on your ropes are so tight that it would take me a while to untie them. The way you're struggling now will only make the ropes tighter."

A cold female voice suddenly appeared, and the two people who were tied up abruptly looked up, their brows furrowed. But when they saw Qi Jiu, their eyes widened.
