After leaving the base, Wang Haiyan was still in a daze. She had been blindfolded the whole time and didn't know what the base looked like, whether the street she was on was where she was being held, or whether the electronic voices questioning her were real people or robots. She wandered aimlessly, as if she had lost all her energy. At this moment, Sun Wei discovered her whereabouts. Half an hour earlier, she had received an anonymous call. Strangely, there was no number. Then, a strange voice told her to pick up Wang Haiyan at a certain location in half an hour. Without hesitation, she quickly drove off. Her father had been running around these past few days, and her younger brother was undergoing tests and training there. She had been working hard to keep it a secret from her grandfather. Receiving the call now felt like receiving a call from a savior, and she immediately rushed out of the house. At an intersection, she saw a dazed Wang Haiyan. After getting out of the car and parking, Sun Wei quickly went to greet her. Her mother's condition was not right, and she had to comfort her and take her home to recuperate. She shook Wang Haiyan to help her clear her mind and see herself clearly. As she wished, Wang Haiyan also realized that the person who came to pick her up was Sun Wei. The two helped each other into the car.
Back home, the nanny brought a bowl of chicken soup, which Sun Wei had specifically asked her to make beforehand. It must be said, chicken soup was a truly soothing remedy; after a few sips, Wang Haiyan calmed down, but then, holding her daughter, she couldn't stop crying. Sun Wei patted her back and sighed helplessly. Ultimately, this whole affair was her mother's fault, and who was the other party anyway? Even if her grandfather went, he wouldn't get away with it. Sun Wei had no other choice but to comfort Wang Haiyan again and again. Upon receiving news of their daughter, Sun Jianhua rushed home. The couple embraced and grieved for a long time before Wang Haiyan finally fell into a deep sleep in her husband's arms. Sun Jianhua called Sun Wei out of the villa, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Wei'er, we must find those wealthy businessmen's wives and make them disappear. Our Sun family has never been so disgraced." Sun Wei asked worriedly, "Is this appropriate? After all, they were just released. If we act now, everyone will suspect us." A ruthless glint flashed in Sun Jianhua's eyes. "Do it." Sun Wei had no choice but to agree. The two continued to discuss the details of the operation. Meanwhile, Wang Haiyan had woken up early. She stared blankly at the ceiling, carefully recalling the card table that night. She wanted to know, to remember every detail. But that's how people are; the more they try to remember the people who set them up, the more disgusted they are, the less calm they become, and the less they can recall the details they should remember. She could only think about it again and again. In the end, she gave up. Anyway, her husband and daughter would get revenge for her. What was there to be afraid of? At this moment, she only thought about getting revenge, only about whether she could teach those fat women a lesson. She had already forgotten why she, who was always so tight-lipped, was so easily provoked at the card table that she revealed all her family's secrets.
Watching her husband enter the room, she forced a smile. Sun Jianhua teased, "Wife, your smile looks worse than crying. Get some rest, darling. Everything will be gone when you wake up tomorrow." Wang Haiyan nodded and asked, "Jianhua, have those bitches been caught?" Sun Jianhua said softly, "Don't worry, I entrusted the matter to reliable people. They'll be on their way to the afterlife tomorrow." The anger that had been building up in Wang Haiyan's heart subsided a little, and she closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep. At that moment, Xu Chen also arrived at their balcony. Just as Sun Jianhua saw his wife fast asleep and was about to leave, Wang Haiyan got up and leaned against the bedside, saying inexplicably, "Honey, call our son back. Let's not fight for that spot anymore." Sun Jianhua's expression changed. "Darling, do you know what you're saying? The old man values that spot very much, and our son has persisted for a long time." Wang Haiyan shook her head. "Call him back, honey. Think carefully. What do we still need to fight for? Without this, our Sun family won't be the Sun family anymore." Sun Jianhua looked troubled. He really wanted his son to get it, like that boy from the Qin family who brought honor to the Qin family, and also to bring honor to himself. But the problem was that he couldn't ignore his wife's advice. After thinking for a long time, and meeting his wife's eager eyes, Sun Jianhua finally gave in and went out to make a phone call.
Over an hour later, Sun Wei rushed into the room. Looking at his weakened mother, he angrily asked, "Mom, what happened? Who made you like this?" Wang Haiyan patted Sun Wei's head. "Silly child, everyone gets sick sometimes." Sun Wei burst into tears. He decided to ask his father for the reason. After touching his mother's forehead, he pulled Sun Jianhua out of the room. As soon as the door closed, Sun Wei hurriedly said, "Dad, why is Mom like this? What happened while I was away?" Sun Jianhua looked at his son, thought for a moment, but still didn't reveal the real reason. He had only told Sun Wei on the phone that Wang Haiyan was bedridden, but his son, who knew his mother's condition well, immediately deduced that something must have happened; otherwise, his usually healthy mother wouldn't have become so weak in just a few days. Seeing Sun Jianhua evading the question, Sun Wei's suspicions were somewhat confirmed.
Suddenly, Wang Haiyan called out loudly to Sun Jianhua. He left his son and went back to his room. Wang Haiyan sat up and said to her husband, "Jianhua, let's go on a trip for a while. Hand over your work and take some annual leave." Sun Jianhua was about to ask why when his son, Sun Wei, nudged his arm, signaling him to agree quickly. "Daughters are always better; sons always side with their mothers," Sun Jianhua thought to himself. He nodded to his wife and went to arrange everything. Little did Sun Wei know that his nudity had hastened the destruction of his family.
Having completed all his business, Xu Chen left the Sun family. Why did he insist on taking action against them? What benefit did this serve for him? The answer is simple: to establish authority. Although Tang Tiancheng held considerable sway in the military, even a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves. If things became public, these covetous families of Beijing would likely break down his door, and Old Master Tang would probably have to trouble him again. Rather than let the situation escalate, it was better to make an example of them from the start, instilling fear in those eyeing them, thus regaining control.
