Yu Jinzhao maintained a gentle and polite smile throughout. After leaving the underground interrogation room, she slowly walked to the tree on the side of the street and finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.

The burning pain in her neck reminded her that she had just escaped death, and she felt both relieved and terrified.

Fortunately, she managed to save her life for the time being, but what terrified her was that Si Qing had become more violent, more unpredictable, and more perverted than before!

She was trying so hard to please him, but she still managed to drive him crazy. He was like a walking time bomb.

Today's verbal warning alone has already left her physically and mentally exhausted, and she doesn't dare to think about whether he will directly lay a hand on her next time.

Yu Jinzhao didn't want to think about it anymore. He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, releasing his suppressed bad emotions.

Who can she blame? It was because she relied on her father and brothers to back her up and acted recklessly, looking down on everyone. She offended Si Qing, a vengeful and twisted man. There is a cause and an effect, and she deserves to suffer this.

Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. When she answered, her father's concerned voice came through the phone, "Chaochao, were you scared by your brother this morning?"

Yu Jinzhao's clear eyes narrowed slightly. He paused for a moment, then asked instead of answering, "Father, how is Grandma now?"

Yu Zongxian sighed, "It's the same as always. She's too old to have surgery. We can only wait for a miracle."

"Father, may I go see Grandma?" Yu Jinzhao asked tentatively. "I have done a lot of research abroad over the past three years. Western medicine has been unable to help Grandma with her condition, but we can try traditional Chinese medicine."

"Why haven't you given up yet?" Yu Zongxian suddenly raised his voice.

Over the past three years, Yu Jinzhao had mentioned several times that she wanted to treat her grandmother with traditional Chinese medicine, but Yu Jinxian stopped her each time. In fact, because she was worried that Yu Jinzhao would go against her wishes, she even banned Yu Jinzhao from going near her grandmother's ward.

"We've told you many times, traditional Chinese medicine is all fraudulent and worthless; studying it is useless," Yu Zongxian said helplessly and earnestly.

"If your brother finds out you're still studying traditional Chinese medicine, he'll get angry again. He hasn't forgiven you because of your grandmother. Do you really want to completely sever ties with your brother?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years; it is the wisdom of our ancestors."

Yu Jinzhao gripped his phone tightly, his expression resolute.

Yu Zongxian disagreed, but he couldn't bear to scold his daughter. After a pause, he noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Chaochao, why don't you call me Dad anymore?"

In the past, the father and daughter were very close. Yu Jinzhao always called him "Dad" in a sweet voice and never spoke to him formally as "father."

“I was too willful before. You and my brother want me to learn to be steady and polite. I should listen to you.” Yu Jinzhao forced a smile.

What happened three years ago remains a thorn in her heart. At that time, she understood her father's distrust, but she was still inevitably disappointed and could no longer be close to him.

Yu Zongxian felt that his daughter had become much more obedient, unlike three years ago. He thought that his daughter had realized her mistake and he should be happy, but he felt inexplicably empty.

"Chaochao, don't be sad. You and your brother are siblings from the same mother, connected by blood. He loves you very much. His disappointment in you now is because he cares about you too much. In the future, try to be more affectionate with him, and he will forgive you."

Yu Jinzhao gave a soft hum, her eyes calm, not taking his words to heart at all.

After hanging up the phone, she forced a relaxed smile and continued thinking about what had just happened.

Although Si Qing had already repaid the Yu family for saving his life, there was still some gratitude left from the Yu family taking him in. Considering his father's reputation, Si Qing wouldn't retaliate against her so quickly...

Therefore, she must become strong during this period and finish what needs to be done.

Yu Jinzhao opened the wooden box in his arms, inside which was a monitoring chip.

She clutched the chip in her hand, and the memory of her grandmother being pushed down the stairs by Jiang Xintong three years ago, and her father and brothers sending her abroad, flooded her mind again.

A deep-seated hatred swept through her body, her eyes hardened, and her hands trembled violently.

Three years ago, her father and brother sent her abroad and arranged for her to attend a foreign finance university, but she secretly changed her major to traditional Chinese medicine.

Now that she has returned after completing her studies, she faces a daunting task.

The first thing to do is to use the medical skills I've learned to build a solid support for myself, and also to find a way to wake my grandmother up.

In addition, we must expose the true colors of Jiang Xintong and her mother and bring them to justice, so that they will not use the Yu family to flaunt their wealth.

Since all the witnesses identified her as the one who pushed her grandmother, she had no way to defend herself. The only solution was to repair the surveillance footage and let the facts speak for themselves.

However, the surveillance system has been completely destroyed and is almost impossible to repair.

Fortunately, during these three years, Yu Jinzhao inquired everywhere and learned that King, known as the godfather of hackers in China, could repair the damaged surveillance cameras.

King is a legendary figure in the hacker world, appearing and disappearing without a trace. He enjoys traveling the world and is said to never appear in the same place twice. Moreover, he has a peculiar habit: he doesn't make money by taking on jobs, and if you want him to do something, you have to pay a huge price.

Fortunately, she made some capable friends abroad, and before returning home, they agreed to help her find King's whereabouts.

Yu Jinzhao was deep in thought when her phone suddenly vibrated. Just as she thought of the devil, her friend sent her King's message…

At this moment, Si Qing stood tall and elegant at the window of the underground interrogation room, watching intently as Yu Jinzhao hailed a taxi on the street and left.

Yin Zhuo walked behind the man, her gaze following Si Qing as he looked outside. She couldn't help but say, "Master Si, you scared Madam like that just now. She'll be angry."

Si Qing's brows twitched slightly, and he coldly turned to stare at Yin Zhuo.

In an instant, Yin Zhuo's legs went weak, cold sweat poured down his face, and he knelt on one knee, "This subordinate has overstepped his bounds, please punish me, Master Si."

Si Qing calmly shifted his gaze, leaning lazily against the windowsill with one leg slightly bent, his posture relaxed and casual.

“I’d rather scare her.” The man pressed his tongue to his lips and chuckled softly. “She’s a medical student.”

No one understands Yu Jinzhao better than him. He's a little fox with a bad temper; if you provoke him even slightly, he'll show his claws.

But when he bullied her like that, trying to force her to show her true colors, she wasn't angry at all, while he was furious.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yin Zhuo's face. Seeing that Si Qing wasn't angry, she tentatively spoke up.

"But I think you're too harsh on your wife, and she might be driven away by you..."

As Si Qing's confidant, he knew better than anyone how much Si Qing had once loved Yu Jinzhao...

His master had finally managed to marry the woman he loved, and he couldn't understand why his master was so indifferent to his wife, as if he didn't care about her at all.

Si Qing saw through Yin Zhuo's thoughts at a glance and said coldly, "Just do your own job. Other things are none of your concern. I used to like her, but that's all in the past."

Yin Zhuo was shocked. So now Master Si no longer likes his wife?

He had overheard some of what Yu Jinzhao and Si Qing were saying, and asked hesitantly,

"Mr. Si, is there some misunderstanding between you and your wife?"

Si Qing stroked the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a thin shadow in his eye sockets, concealing the fleeting mockery in his eyes.

What misunderstanding could there be? She's just heartless.

If it weren't for what happened three years ago, he and Yu Jinzhao should have become a real couple, but...

At that moment, Yin Zhuo received a phone call, his expression changing drastically. "It's terrible, Mr. Si! Your mother has run away from the hospital and is missing!"
