"How about we send the bell away?" Susukino suggested cautiously.

“We have to leave, but not now,” Lin Qingran said.

"The more carefully you try to hide something, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion."

Choosing to avoid it at this point would only make it seem like you're trying to hide something.

"You used to have a lot of friends in society, right?" Lin Qingran suddenly asked.

"Do you understand what it means to confuse the public?"

Bo Ye immediately understood, "I know what to do."

A mournful wail echoed from the old Lin family mansion late at night.

Lin Yuyan stood to the side with a look of disgust, forcibly composed herself, and then stepped forward with a worried expression.

"Lin Qingran has gone too far. Even if she wants to hide her identity, she can't hit her older brother! He's her own brother!"

Lin Qingran had dislocated Shen Qiyan's hand. At that moment, the family doctor was sweating profusely as he helped Shen Qiyan set his bones. Meanwhile, Shen's father, Shen Pei'an, and Zhou Lan's gazes were slowly falling on him. He felt a chill run down his spine.

After a long while, amidst Shen Qiyan's screams of pain, he finally finished treating Shen Qiyan's injuries and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Master and Madam, it's all taken care of. After a few days of rest, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Shen Pei-an nodded silently and waved for the doctor to leave.

Shen Qiyan's face was ashen as he carefully moved his hand and looked at Zhou Lan beside him.

"Mom, could there be a mistake? Lin Qingran is so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind. How could she possibly have such strength?"

When he got home that evening, after hearing Zhou Lan and Lin Yuyan's confident promises, Shen Qiyan immediately felt a surge of anger and went straight to find Lin Qingran.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to uncover the truth, but he also suffered an injury for no reason, and now even he himself was starting to have doubts.

Zhou Lan looked terrible. She hadn't expected that even Shen Qiyan, who had gone, would also suffer a defeat.

Not only did they fail to obtain Lin Qingran's sample, but Shen Qiyan also got injured.

After a long pause, Zhou Lan slowly spoke.

"This girl is very capable; she might have been keeping it from us all along."

Shen Pei-an snorted coldly, "Your mother and I have something to say. You should all go back and rest."

Shen Qiyan and Lin Yuyan exchanged a glance, and with great tact, got up and left.

The living room fell silent, and after a long while, Shen Pei'an finally spoke.

"Do we really have to keep focusing on Jiang Jiuge's identity?"

Zhou Lan glanced at Shen Pei'an and sneered.

“Shen Pei’an, you should know how you married into my family back then.”

Shen Pei'an remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"I understand, I will arrange for someone to take care of it."

-

"It's been three days, and eight hundred groups of people have come. I think they don't want to verify my sister's identity at all; they just want her dead!"

In the hospital corridor, Bo Ye complained in a low voice to Jiang Yuanbai, who had come to visit Lin Qingran.

"Teacher, how can you expect to guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

Jiang Yuanbai's expression was serious, and his silence indicated that he was thinking about the problem.

In fact, Lin Qingran had already recovered, and the doctor said that she could be discharged from the hospital.

However, in the past few days, both Fu Xiuheng and the Lin family have been trying to get close to Lin Qingran and Lingdang in order to obtain their samples.

It seems they won't give up until they achieve their goal.

Although Susukino had made two preparations, if he couldn't stop the other side, he would find a way to let them get fake samples.

However, the other side was very cunning. As soon as they realized they couldn't get close to Lin Qingran and Lingdang, they would immediately retreat, making it impossible for Bo Ye to implement his second-line plan.

As the ancients aptly put it, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third."

Over time, their mindset will be disrupted, and the other side will definitely seize the opportunity.

“We need to come up with a solution that will solve the problem once and for all,” Bo Ye said.

Jiang Yuanbai shook his head slightly. "The Fu family and the Lin family are very complicated. It's impossible to solve this once and for all. To resolve the current crisis, we have to create an even bigger problem for them."

Jiang Yuanbai gave Bo Ye a deep look. "I, Jiang Yuanbai, have never cared about power struggles in my life, but Jiuge is my child, and no one can hurt her. Bo Ye, with your abilities, you can help her."

Bo Ye took a hint from Jiang Yuanbai's words, and he rubbed his hands together as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"I understand."

Since the Fu family and the Lin family have joined forces to make Lin Qingran unhappy, then they should be the ones who get hurt so that they can truly understand Lin Qingran's pain.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at the smug expression on Bo Ye's face and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

There is no other way.

Having lived to this age and lost my beloved wife, I've come to realize that reputation doesn't matter; the important thing is to protect the people around me.

Jiang Yuanbai watched as Bo Ye took out his phone, about to make a call.

Suddenly, a man in a black suit rushed over in a hurry.

"Teacher Jiang, something's happened!"

"What's wrong?" Bo Ye grabbed the man.

The man's suit was disheveled, and there was a bruise on his forehead.

“We were just watching Miss Jiang and her young mistress strolling in the garden downstairs when suddenly a group of thugs rushed up and surrounded Miss Jiang! We had no choice but to show ourselves! But those thugs were incredibly fierce; we were no match for them. We could only protect Miss Jiang first so I could run upstairs and deliver the message!”

"Damn it, I'll kill them!"

Bo Ye was furious. He swiped his finger and dialed another phone number.

While on the phone, he grabbed his bodyguard and rushed downstairs.

Jiang Yuanbai's eyes darkened, and he turned to look at the butler standing in the shadows, giving him a hand gesture.

The butler understood and immediately turned to leave.

Lin Qingran clutched the bell tightly in her arms, and both mother and daughter collapsed onto the edge of the flower bed.

"Don't be afraid, Bell, Mommy is here. No one will hurt you."

Lingdang gripped Lin Qingran's clothes tightly, her voice trembling with fear, yet she still managed to speak.

"The bell isn't afraid, and neither is Mommy!"

The black-clad bodyguards in front of them were fiercely protecting Lin Qingran and her daughter, but they were clearly no match for the thugs.

They were well-trained and didn't seem like street thugs.

Lin Qingran's eyes flashed, and she roughly guessed who was behind this.

Shen Pei-an was a soldier in his early years, but was discharged from the army for violating discipline. Later, he went abroad to work as a mercenary.

Later, she met Zhou Lan. Lin Qingran didn't know how the two met and fell in love, but Shen Pei'an married into the family and married Zhou Lan.

This has always been a very private topic in their family.

Even though Lin Qingran found out by accident, she never had the chance to investigate further.
