"My sister and I are on the same wavelength."

Song Jinshi offered a sophistry, but naturally no one at the scene believed him.

She pursed her lips again, "After all, he used to live in our house. When that idiot went back to China, he did some research and found out he owned that property."

Thump.

Xu Mingxu slammed his teacup on the table with a dull thud, as if it were a warning to Song Jinshi.

"Those who work as cops, watch your mouth."

Song Jinshi didn't dare to argue with him, and could only mutter, "It didn't say that the cops couldn't swear..."

Besides, he's a singer now, and he hasn't been a cop for several years.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, tinged with a faint sadness.

"It's all my fault!"

Song Zhiyu said it again, "I shouldn't have told him the day before yesterday that Guai Guai wanted to have a wedding ceremony!"

"You ungrateful wretch! I've always treated him like my own son!!"

Those perverse behaviors have completely exposed his feelings for Xu Zhaozhao.

Yu Yao's sudden breakdown and attack on Xu Zhaozhao was most likely due to the information he received from Song Zhiyu.

"Director Song, please stop!"

Song Jinshi clasped his hands together, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

"You've been saying this all day. It's nobody's fault but Yu Yao, that freak! He's got shit for a brain!"

His words were so funny that they made many people in the audience laugh.

Song Zhiyu's tears were welling up in her eyes, threatening to fall, but upon hearing his words, she immediately burst into laughter through her tears.

Now everyone believed what Song Jinshi had been saying all along.

Yu Yao's brain is truly rotten.

Later, Xu Zhaozhao also learned from Gu Qingyan that the rescue operation was planned by Song Jinshi.

Ordering takeout, placing the takeout, using Xu Zhaozhao as a hostage to retrieve the takeout...

It was precise down to every single movement of Yu Yao.

This is also a drawback of crimes committed by acquaintances.

You know the other person well enough, and the other person knows you well enough too.

It's clear that Song Jinshi won this round beautifully.

That concludes our recap. Surprisingly, Xu Zhaozhao's condition was much better than they had anticipated.

Chi Li stayed up all night, but couldn't take it anymore, so he seized the opportunity to escape.

Song Jinshi used the excuse of "seeing him off" to slip away with him.

Xu Zhaozhao was pulled back. Song Zhiyu looked her over from left to right, and finally watched her reluctantly get into Gu Qingyan's car.

The cold-faced man on the training field helplessly wiped away Song Zhiyu's tears.

Some things don't need to be said explicitly; Xu Zhaozhao has already learned to understand them implicitly.

Her dad is definitely the boss.

Before she left, Xu Mingxu asked her privately, even though his expression was still bad, "How do you want that guy to die?"

A person's life or death can be decided by just one sentence from her father.

Xu Zhaozhao remained silent for a long time before saying, "Give him a jar of concentrated sulfuric acid and a scalpel as well, as a farewell gift."

Xu Mingxu finally turned his head to look at her, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, he just nodded.

After getting on the bus, Xu Zhaozhao stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

"Mother."

Gu Yulin's voice brought Xu Zhaozhao back to reality, and she turned to look at him.

Gu Yulin's eyes were bright; Xu Zhaozhao rarely saw him show such excitement.

"Dad said you brought home a kitten."

"yes!"

Xu Zhaozhao smiled and patted his head.

...

Meanwhile, Song Jinshi, who had slipped away under a pretext, appeared at the Capital People's Hospital.

Following the ward number sent to him on his phone, Song Jinshi went to the ward.

He paused at the door for two seconds before raising his hand to knock.

Only after hearing a faint response from inside the ward did I push open the door and go in.

As evening approached, the bright yellow sunset shone through the window, casting its light on Xia Huai's slightly weak face.

This one scene captivated Song Jinshi so much that she almost couldn't walk.

He didn't interrupt the scene, but silently picked up the cup on the table and made her a cup of glucose.

He handed it over, saying, "Have a drink. The food will be brought up later."

Xia Huai didn't refuse, took the glucose water, and silently drank a few sips.

She had just returned from a business trip abroad yesterday. After a long flight, she heard the news of Xu Zhaozhao's disappearance as soon as she got off the plane, and immediately went to look for her.

After receiving a message from Gu Qingyan in the middle of the night, she could no longer hold on and collapsed, and was admitted to the hospital overnight.

So she couldn't attend today's small meeting; she had just woken up when Song Jinshi knocked on the door.

"Sure, little cop."

Her voice was hoarse from just waking up, with a soft laugh in it.

Song Jinshi paused, then smiled helplessly.

"Don't tease me, I haven't been a cop for years."

My dear sister, your news spreads so fast!

Xia Huai looked up at him, her eyes scrutinizing him.

I was really fooled by him before; he looked like a little dog, unassuming and unassuming.

She took another sip of glucose water.

"Everyone tells you to stay away from him, he's got shit for brains."

Song Jinshi's gaze fell on her arm, where some faint marks could still be seen.

The culprit behind her broken arm was Yu Yao.

"Nobody believes me."

He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes in a very unladylike manner.

Xia Huai fell silent, unable to refute his words.

Before this incident, Yu Yao had no flaws in public.

Xia Huai gave a faint smile. "How do you know he's got shit for brains?"

“You have no idea how despicable he is.”

Song Jinshi curled her lips sarcastically, "My dad asked me how I knew my sister was there, hilarious..."

"The thing my sister and I are most sensitive to about cat meows is only known to that pile of poop."

Therefore, Xu Zhaozhao is attracted by the slightest meow of a cat, but other small animals do not.

Therefore, when Song Jinshi heard the faint meowing sound from the monitor, he immediately identified Yu Yao.

"Then how did you know he was there immediately?"

Xia Huai asked calmly.

Even if there was prior investigation, Yu Yao owns more than one property, so why was Song Jinshi able to pinpoint that location immediately?

His explanation at the small meeting was full of loopholes, but no one wanted to delve into it—Xu Zhaozhao was safe, and Yu Yao was finished.

The two fell into a very long silence.

Xia Huai wasn't in a hurry; she slowly drank the glucose water in her hand while waiting for him.

"Can I smoke?"

Song Jinshi suddenly broke the silence, giving a self-deprecating laugh.

Xia Huai nodded, not minding at all.

The flames ignited, then were replaced by wisps of white smoke.

It was the first time Xia Huai had ever seen him smoke.

Today's outfit wasn't one of those graffiti-style looks, but rather a very normal hoodie and jeans.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his eyes flickered, taking on a strangely fierce quality.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and stared blankly out the window, as if he had stepped into a time machine.

"This all started a long, long time ago, when he lived with us..."
