After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"..." Shen Yan's smugness vanished instantly, and she remained silent for a long time.

Qin Song smiled slightly and called out to her meaningfully, "Miss Shen?"

Shen Yan raised her head arrogantly, her eyes turning contemptuous: "Qin Song, this is my private matter, and I have no right to tell you."

“This is my private matter, and it’s none of Miss Shen’s business.” Pei Xingzhi grabbed Qin Song’s shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and then turned to stare at Shen Yan Hui with displeasure. “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Shen. We have already reported this to the police, and they will help us resolve it.”

Miss Shen...

This form of address made Shen Yan Hui feel a little wronged. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her tone softened immediately: "Xingzhi, if those police officers you found really wanted to help you, how come they haven't found any clues after two days? You've encountered such a dangerous situation, and there's no one around to help you. If I don't intervene, what will you do? Aren't you afraid that person will retaliate again?"

"This is my private matter. Miss Shen has overstepped her bounds." Pei Xingzhi didn't want to talk to her too much, so he left after saying this and took Qin Song away.

"Thank you all for your help. This matter has already been handled by other police officers, so you don't need to trouble yourselves any further. Please leave."

"..." The lead policeman looked at Pei Xingzhi blankly, then turned to Shen Yanhui. "Mr. Pei, we have already handed over the case to the police officer in charge. Your case is now in our hands."

Pei Xingzhi: "What?"

Shen Yanhui composed herself, and a smug smile returned to her face: "He's right, this matter is indeed under their jurisdiction now. The accident occurred at the border of the jurisdictions of the two police stations. If one police station is unable to handle it, then the other police station can take over the case."

“My dad knows the head of this police station. When he heard about your case, he immediately took it over and sent a top-notch team to investigate. If all goes well, they should be able to find the culprit within two days.”

"Xingzhi, I'm really worried about you, which is why I'm trying everything I can to help you. Now that you're bankrupt, I'm the only person left who can help you."

As she said this, Shen Yanhui's gaze remained fixed on Qin Song's face, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Qin Song neither flinched nor avoided her gaze, meeting her eyes calmly with remarkable composure.

"Do not……"

"Thank you, Miss Shen."

Just as Pei Xingzhi was about to refuse, Qin Song accepted Shen Yanhui's offer on his behalf.

She quietly nudged Pei Xingzhi's thigh, signaling him to be quiet. Pei Xingzhi didn't know why, but he obediently did as she said.

"Miss Shen has a wide network of connections and strong relationships, so we'll have to trouble you to handle our private matters."

Shen Yan scoffed sarcastically, "You're welcome. As long as it helps Xingzhi, I won't feel bad about it."

Qin Song: "Okay. Then Miss Shen, please continue with your work. Xingzhi and I have some private matters to discuss."

"Xingzhi, let's go to another room."

Pei Xingzhi turned and left: "Okay."

As Qin Song reached the door of the room, he suddenly realized that Ye Ci hadn't followed, so he turned around and called out to him, "Ye Ci, come here too."

Ye Ci glanced awkwardly at Shen Yan Hui, then shuffled over to Qin Song.

"Coming!"

In the blink of an eye, all four of them squeezed into another small room, leaving Shen Yan Hui standing alone outside.

“…So despicable.” Shen Yan stared at the closed door and muttered a curse through gritted teeth.

After she finished cursing, she stared blankly for a while with a gloomy face, then suddenly started talking to herself.

"This Pei Xingzhi is too difficult to deal with. Could you give me a few more tools?"

"Affection points, affection points, more affection points! I only have so many affection points left, and I've already used them all to exchange for unknown events. Where am I supposed to find any?"

"Can't I even buy on credit? You can lend me some goodwill points first, and I'll pay you back when I earn more later."

"What a ridiculous rule... How stingy..."

"Shen Yan was muttering something to himself, I couldn't understand a word he was saying."

Pei Lingxuan peeked through the door, eavesdropping while simultaneously tattling to Qin Song.

Ye Ci asked curiously, "What did she say?"

“Hmm…” Pei Lingxuan thought for a moment, “She said she wanted to buy on credit, that she no longer had any goodwill towards her, and that the ridiculous rules were really stingy.”

Ye Ci looked completely bewildered: "What is all this? It doesn't make any sense at all!"

Pei Lingxuan shook her head: "I don't understand. Sister-in-law, do you understand?"

Qin Song smiled faintly: "I don't really understand either."

This was half true and half false. It was true that she didn't really understand, but it was false that she thought she should be able to guess why Shen Yan Hui would say that.

"Xiao Song, why did you agree to Shen Yanhui's involvement in this matter? Have you misunderstood something?" Pei Xingzhi frowned, his eyes tense. "I really didn't tell Shen Yanhui about this, and I don't know where Shen Yanhui heard it from."

“I can testify.” Ye Ci raised her hand. “Brother Pei and that Miss Shen only have professional interactions. In private, Miss Shen has bothered Brother Pei many times, but Brother Pei has ignored her.”

"I know." The two of them were like elementary school students who had done something wrong, and they kept explaining themselves whenever they saw her. Qin Song felt both helpless and amused.

She reached out and patted Pei Xingzhi's hand, saying gently, "You don't need to be so nervous. I haven't misunderstood anything. I know what kind of person your brother Pei is. Even if he doesn't explain anything, I will believe him."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi immediately grabbed Qin Song's hand and held it firmly in his palm: "Since you trust me, why did you agree to Shen Yanhui's interference?"

"Why don't you agree?" Qin Song's gentle smile suddenly changed. "Shen Yanhui is the daughter of the Shen Group, and she has powerful connections. If she's willing to use her connections to get the police outside to find the person, the process will be incredibly efficient. I also want to know who the beast who hit you is. Since she's willing to put in the effort, let her. The more capable, the more work they do, and in the end, I'll be the one who benefits."

"Ah... I understand!" Pei Lingxuan revealed a mischievous smile, and said in a low voice, enunciating each word clearly, "Sister-in-law is taking advantage of her!"

“Yes,” Qin Song readily admitted, “It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. If she wants to worry about it, let her. We don’t need to refuse her ‘good intentions’.”

"Hmm~" Ye Ci agreed wholeheartedly, "What my sister-in-law said makes a lot of sense!"

"What do you think?" Qin Song nudged Pei Xingzhi's knee, throwing the question at him.

He took off his glasses and wiped the dust off the lenses, raising a slight smirk at the corner of his eye: "As long as you're happy, I'm fine with anything."

Qin Song: "Of course I'm happy..."

"Alright, let's get down to business. Xingzhi, I suddenly remembered a clue today about Lu Yibai's scheme against you."
