When Jiang Ru received Yan Ling's message, he was already on his way to the border, with the letters "SB" tattooed on his forehead.
"That child went to an auction and caused a huge scene, and then disappeared."
The man's gaze was meaningful, and the meaning behind his words was intriguing.
Jiang Ru's expression suddenly changed. What did it mean that he had disappeared? Also, why did he cause such a scene at the auction when he was perfectly fine?
But she didn't press further. Instead, she held up the freshly brewed tea and said to the man, "Thank you for your hard work."
The man accepted the tea she offered with satisfaction, took a sip, and said, with a tone that was both a warning and a comfort, "Hengheng is in junior high now, so you'll have to keep an eye on him."
Jiang Ru nodded obsequiously in agreement. After seeing the man off, she took out her phone to make a call. After thinking for a long time, Jiang Ru slowly put down her phone and said softly, "Don't blame me for being heartless. Mom has her own difficulties too."
It's not hard to tell from the man's words that Yanling offended someone she shouldn't have and was dealt with by someone else.
I originally wanted to find out which deity he had offended, but now it seems unnecessary.
Even if she knew, what could she do? Could she still get someone else to release him?
She was just a middle-aged woman who depended on others for survival; even if she wanted to, she was powerless to do so.
Jiang Ru spent the whole afternoon alone at home, struggling with her thoughts, but still couldn't come up with a solution, when her son came home.
"Mom, why are you sitting here? I called you for ages and you didn't respond. I thought you weren't home!"
Her son's voice woke Jiang Ru. Seeing her lively and adorable son, she immediately forgot about Yan Ling and asked, "Are you hungry? Mom will go cook."
"Okay, thank you, Mom. I'm going to do my homework now!"
Before going inside, the son glanced at his mother, who seemed preoccupied, and said with concern, "Mom, if you're tired, you can rest. We can go out for dinner tonight. I'll wash my own dirty clothes later, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Mom's fine, you go do your homework."
The child's thoughtful words warmed Jiang Ru's heart. She had enough with this son; as for Yan Ling, she was truly powerless to help him.

Jiang Xin thought Jiang Ru would go to the Fu family to demand her return, but the message she sent went unanswered, and the woman didn't make a move at all.
She had asked around about He Wan and Yan Ling, and learned that He Wan had left Beijing with the child, while Yan Ling was nowhere to be found, as if he had vanished into thin air.
Later, she heard from others that the second son of the Fu family had a very bad temper and showed no mercy to the person who caused a scene at the auction, sending that person directly to the border.
Not long after, her brother came to tell her that he had met the girl he liked again and had asked her out for dinner the next night.
Jiang Xin pretended to be happy, and the next day she dressed up and secretly followed her brother to that restaurant.
She casually ordered a meal, then focused intently on Ye Beichen's direction under the cover of something. After about ten minutes, Jiang Xin saw Fang Ying walking in her brother's direction.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise. Her brother and Fang Ying? How did they meet?
Regardless of how they met, the older brother finally chose the right person this time.
After quickly finishing her meal, Jiang Xin left the restaurant quietly without disturbing the young couple who were chatting happily.
That night, Shu Yuqing had a dream in which her daughter turned into a vengeful ghost, looking at her menacingly. She also saw another version of herself in the dream, who coldly told her not to be too good to Jiang Xin and called Jiang Xin a selfish and ungrateful wretch.
Shu Yuqing was puzzled. Xin Xin was very well-behaved, so how could she be an ingrate?
Another woman tells a story in which Jiang Xin is rebellious, heartless, and even causes the Ye family to be destroyed.
Shu Yuqing found it hard to believe that this was something her carefully raised daughter had done. Another part of her solemnly instructed her to be wary of Jiang Xin, to prepare in advance, and not to let her take advantage of any loopholes.
She also said that she had completed her mission and was leaving.
Shu Yuqing asked her where she was going, but she shook her head and remained silent, her figure gradually dissipating.
Upon waking, Shu Yuqing did not forget the events of her dream; on the contrary, she remembered them clearly. This aroused her suspicion, and she secretly observed her daughter's every move.
Although she didn't want to believe what the other version of herself in her dream said, just in case, she and Ye Boxian made a will in advance and had it notarized.
The will stipulated the distribution of Ye Beichen and Jiang Xin's property. Ye Boxian bequeathed Jiang Xin 10% of the shares of Chenguang Group and a villa in XX Community, Beijing.
The remaining shares, as well as real estate, including Shu Yuqing's private property, all belong to Ye Beichen.
Jiang Xin was unaware that her parents had made a will, nor that she had lost most of her inheritance rights.
She lived a routine life until one morning when she checked her phone and saw a news report: "Anti-drug police officer dies in the line of duty."
A bad feeling welled up in Jiang Xin's heart, her heart raced, and she held her breath as she clicked on the news article, which featured a photo of Mingyue.
**
"Dad, I'm sorry, I've come to see you. I'm going to work in the south, so I probably won't be able to come see you often."
While visiting her father's grave in a remote border town, Mingyue's identity was exposed, making her unsuitable to continue her undercover work. She now works as a police officer under an assumed name.
Perhaps after returning to the police force, she can recreate a legend of her own.
