days, to be honest, he missed her. He had just been deliberately ignored all this time. This body was used to her smell, it seemed like it didn't want anything without her. I have to say, her body is...Lin Meng knew that once she stepped out, there would be no turning back. To be able to write those words with such decisiveness took unprecedented courage, because she couldn't fathom how much life she had left. What these policemen intended to do with her, how they would treat her, and what her sentence would be were all beyond her ken.

As someone who has dealt with powerful figures, she understood how easily they could manipulate things. To fight them would only make her look like a clown, inviting ridicule.

She had already let go, having cut all ties that needed to be severed. Let them twist and turn as they please.

She got into the police car. On the way, an officer made a phone call, certainly to report the situation to Jiang Yichen. In the end, the car turned in a different direction and didn't go to the Public Security Bureau, but went to Jiang Yichen's house.

Jiang Yichen has learned about Lin Meng's recent situation: mute, stubborn, uncooperative, seemingly mentally unstable and tending towards madness. He has also severed ties with his family and stated that he will not be returning home. Taking all of this into account, Jiang Yichen immediately changed his strategy. He brought Lin Meng to his own house, intending to use their friendship as a way to slowly coax information out of him.

Lin Meng felt that it didn't matter where she was. Prison wasn't a symbol of safety in her eyes anymore; if someone wanted to harm her, they could do it anywhere. She settled down peacefully, waiting for Jiang Yancheng to get tired of her and kick her out. Conveniently, she couldn't find a place to live at the moment, so Jiang Yancheng readily offered her shelter.

Jiang Yancheng was younger and more refined than she had imagined. She attributed this to his long years in office, being supported by the common people, so naturally his nutrition was better, and he didn't look old. Jiang Yancheng seemed quite friendly, putting Lin Meng at ease staying here. He didn't mention the Silver Wolf Gang again. He talked about Jiang Bolang, and his eyes looking at Lin Meng became kind, as if she were truly a friend's son!

But Lin Meng knew things weren't that simple!

She knew exactly why she was brought here!

Xiao Yi received the news quickly, saying that Lin Meng had been taken away by Jiang Yancheng and was now at Jiang Yancheng's house. Xiao Yi heard this and cursed inwardly.

Old fox!

I silently prayed that Lin Meng could hear what he was saying and not speak. Even if Jiang Yancheng attacked Lin Meng again, she wouldn't admit to anything. Jiang Yancheng probably couldn't do anything about it either. He had been with many women before Xiao Yi, so it wasn't like Lin Meng dating him gave Jiang Yancheng any leverage!

"Still keep a close watch and be wary of others. Don't let your guard down!"

Xiao Yi gave the order, his men replied with an "understood", and hung up the phone.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, gazing out at the vast expanse of sky through the large glass window, his brows furrowed in thought.

Just staring at it and doing nothing isn't a long-term solution!randfather. On her way there, she repeatedly thought about whether she had done anything particularly unreasonable before, and this reminded her of her confrontation with Zhu Xiaodan. This made her b...
