She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Two people walked towards us, one tall and one short.

Qiao Shan didn't know why he had to accompany Chen Xiangbei to someone else's house late at night... to climb the roof. Because he was afraid of being caught, when Chen Xiangbei was about to climb onto his shoulders and climb up, he was pulled down by Qiao Shan.

Chen Xiangbei cursed him the whole way.

"Look at you, I already told you, I didn't steal anything, I just wanted to take a look."

"I really can't reason with someone like you. It's not illegal, it's really not illegal. I didn't even go into their house, how can it be considered illegal?"

"What law is it against to lie on someone else's roof? Don't you even know the law?"

"I just like to hang out on people's rooftops. If I accidentally overheard people talking, it's because they were talking too loudly. What does it have to do with me?"

"Hey, do you know how much money I've lost? Do you know that if that family is bad, you'll ruin a woman's life?"

"I really can't explain it to you. Can't you be a little more flexible? Why did my mom take you as her apprentice?"

"You, even when you're resting, you don't go to my mom's place or help her son. It's a waste of my time to have you as my apprentice."

“I even helped you before. If it weren’t for me, you might be in jail by now. And you don’t even repay me.”

"Eh....."

Chen Xiangbei was furious. He had already found out that everyone would be going home tonight. He was helping them with some inquiries, but this blockhead wouldn't help at all.

He's already taken the money, what's he supposed to do now? What's he supposed to do?

Really pissed off.

Qiao Shan lowered his head and remained silent, simply listening.

Chen Xiangbei looked up and saw a human head hanging on the wall in the dimly lit alley. His legs went weak, and he pointed at it, screaming, "Ah—a ghost!"

He jumped onto Qiao Shan in an instant, yelling, "Run! Ahhh..."

Just then, Yu Yan was dragged inside, but she climbed out again. Upon hearing the voices outside, she immediately started shouting for help again, "Help! Help!"

Qiao Shan picked up Chen Xiangbei, who had jumped up, and ran towards that direction, stopping at the head of the man.

Chen Xiangbei cursed loudly: "It's so late at night, how can you scare people like this? What are you doing hanging here at night, basking in the moonlight?"

Yu Yan struggled to squeeze her upper body out and reached out to pat Qiao Shan's head, saying, "Someone wants to kill me."

Chen Xiangbei was shocked: "Murder in broad daylight?"

Qiao Shan retorted, "It's nighttime now, a perfect time for murder and arson."

Yu Yan finally grabbed Qiao Shan's hair, "Quickly pull me out."

"Ouch~" Qiao Shan cried out in pain and threw Chen Xiangbei aside. "Let go first, I'll pull you out."

Chen Xiangbei got up from the ground: "So, you can just throw me away, right?"

Feeling he was losing control, Mr. Yu inside started cursing loudly. Mrs. Yu ran to the back door and saw two men, asking, "Who are you?"

Chen Xiangbei patted his pants. With Qiao Shan behind him, he wasn't afraid of anything and said confidently, "And who are you? What do you want to do by locking up that girl?"

Grandma Yu: "That's my granddaughter."

Chen Xiangbei: "There's no need for such a lie. What kind of grandmother would make her own granddaughter climb out of a window and fall to her death just to escape?"

Yu Yan was lifted down from the window by Qiao Shan and placed on the ground. Chen Xiangbei felt jealous again, "Brother Qiao, why don't you throw her away now?"

Qiao Shan: "It wouldn't be good if I got injured."

Grandma Yu suddenly shouted, "Are you her lover? Are you? Speak up!"

Qiao Shan: "Huh? Me?"

Chen Xiangbei: "What are you trying to do, you old woman? Trying to smear us? And what are you trying to do, pretending to be a grandmother? We're taking her to the police station right now. Let's see if you're really her grandmother. So what? Even if you want to frame my brother Qiao for having an improper relationship with this woman, you can't escape it."

Yu Yan: "They want to sell me to another man."

Chen Xiangbei immediately grabbed her: "Oh, so you're a human trafficker. Are human traffickers so brazen now that they dare to rush up and yell at people?"

Yu Yan: "She is indeed my biological mother."

Chen Xiangbei: "...What do you mean? Did your own grandmother become a human trafficker?"

Grandma Yu slapped her across the face. "What are you trying to do, you little brat spouting nonsense? I'm this brat's own grandmother. Would I lie to her and ask her to get married? It's not like I'm sending her to her death. Would I harm her?"

Chen Xiangbei's eyes widened: "If you hadn't harmed her, she wouldn't have run away. Even if you are her own grandmother, you can't lock her up and force her to marry someone else."

Just then, a short man with a large mouth and lifeless eyes walked up behind her. "Aunt Yu, didn't you say your granddaughter was waiting for me? How come she's flirting with other men? I don't want women who aren't innocent. You've already accepted my betrothal gifts, so don't try to renege on your promise, or else..."

Grandma Yu wasn't afraid of him. If it weren't for the money, she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. Her son's grandson needed money, so she had no choice but to find a way. It was all that brat's fault for not giving her any of the money she had. "Now you know you're in a hurry. Why didn't you come sooner? If you had come earlier, none of this would have happened."

The short man said, "Even if I had come earlier, what if your granddaughter would rather die than be with me? Wouldn't my dowry have gone down the drain? Don't think you're the only smart one here. I want a woman who can bear sons. I'm not looking for a one-time prostitute. Did you even explain things clearly to your granddaughter? Are you lying to both of them?"

Grandma Yu: "Even if you get her body, she's still at your mercy. Do you really think she'd die? Do you think I wouldn't know about my granddaughter? Absolutely not."

Hearing the foul language coming from her grandmother's mouth, Yu Yan trembled with anger. "Grandma, let me tell you, if he really succeeds, I'll take your whole family with me, including this man. We'll all die with me. Have you thought this through? I'm not like that soft-hearted mother of mine. She let you live even after you killed so many of her children. Why do you have to come here to die?"

Grandma Yu didn't believe it at all: "You're just a little girl, as long as you have something to eat, that's enough. Don't be so arrogant, looking down on this and that. I think it's your mother who spoiled you. I'm not marrying you off to some remote mountain village. The family I found for you will make sure you live a good life. What else are you dissatisfied with? Look at your age and your circumstances, who would want you?"

Yu Yan: "Who is it that I can't get married? It's all because of you. Otherwise, if my mother and I were both factory workers, the line of men willing to marry me would stretch from here all the way to my factory. If it weren't for you rotten people, would I have been delayed to this age?"

Grandma Yu: "Don't blame us if you can't do it yourself. Your father and I are doing just fine. If your mother hadn't been unable to give birth to a son, you wouldn't be unable to get married."
