Miss Sun told the magistrate with certainty, "I trust you, sir. There is nothing you cannot accomplish if you set your mind to it."

"Miss Sun really knows how to flatter me."

"Just telling the truth."

The magistrate agreed, "Alright, I will consider what you have said. Miss Sun, please go back."

Du Mingxian was like watching a grand drama in Nandi City. First, she saw that the two legitimate sons of the Sun family were involved in murder, one was a suspect and the other was confirmed.

Within two days, it was discovered that Sun Haoqiang was not the murderer, but was framed, and the real killer was someone else.

Sun Haoqiang can be released, but his younger brother Sun Haojie cannot. The murder was committed in front of many people, and many witnessed it. There was no way for him to escape.

Sun Haojie was sentenced to be executed in the autumn, while Sun Haoqiang was released, but when he was released, he was barely breathing.

Many people were cursing behind his back, saying that Sun Haoqiang must have committed murder and that the government was covering it up, but the government did not come forward to respond to the matter. Those people only dared to curse behind his back and did not dare to stand up.

In today's environment, it's impossible to fight against officials.

Seeing the current state of the Sun family, Du Mingxian felt a pang of regret. She had been in Nandi City for eight days, and during those eight days she had witnessed the rise and fall of the Sun family, which was quite a sight to behold.

Just as she was wondering whether she should cause more trouble for the Sun family, she unexpectedly encountered Ling Silang on the street. Ling Silang, who had left with Fang Daru saying he was going to study, was actually in Nandi City.

The two of them, so fresh and beautiful, faced each other.

"You..." Du Mingxian was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

Ling Silang was calmer, but just as he opened his mouth to speak, he started coughing incessantly. Du Mingxian quickly handed him her water pouch, saying, "Drink some quickly."

After drinking the spiritual water, Ling Silang's discomfort lessened, and he then said, "Let's go, we can talk about it back at the inn."

Du Mingxian walked away with Ling Silang.

Her inn was the best in Nandi City, while Ling Silang's was much worse, being simple and not warm inside.

"How many days have you been here?"

“After leaving with you, sir, I came here,” Ling Silang confessed. “I didn’t mean to lie to you, but there are some things I haven’t figured out yet, so I can’t tell you.”

Du Mingxian did the math and said, "You've been here for eighteen days."

"Yes, after we found out about my third aunt's affairs, I thought it must be related to the Wang family, so I came directly to Nandi City to investigate. Sure enough, we found out some things, and we also found out that the Sun family was behind our family's troubles."

"Now that they're here, if the Sun family dares to cause trouble behind my back, I will definitely not let them have an easy time."

Du Mingxian looked at Ling Silang as if she were seeing him for the first time. She stared at him in shock. "You...you mean, you were the one who did what happened to the Sun family?"

"Yes, I did it." Ling Silang appeared calm on the surface, but he was anything but calm inside. He was extremely nervous, afraid that Du Mingxian would despise him.

He used some methods to make things difficult for the Sun family. What if she thinks he's too ruthless? What if she feels he's too cunning?

Du Mingxian was initially shocked, then overjoyed, "That's wonderful!" She also wanted the Sun family to have an easier time, and now that the Sun family was already in trouble, she wouldn't have to lift a finger.

Having a super-brain by your side means you don't need to figure things out yourself, isn't that great?

"You are not afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Du Mingxian asked, puzzled.

Ling Silang breathed a sigh of relief, but wondered, "There are quite a few people who don't like ruthless methods."

“But I just happen to like ruthless methods.” Du Mingxian stared at Ling Silang with a smile, her watery eyes reflecting his image, making Ling Silang’s heart pound wildly.

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.

Ling Silang coughed again, as if his lungs were about to come out. Du Mingxian quickly brought him some water. "Drink some. You didn't even find a better inn after you came out. Staying in this inn is not good for your health."

"It's alright, I'm not afraid even if there's no benefit, as long as the matter is accomplished."

Du Mingxian was both angry and heartbroken. "Are you stupid?"

Ling Silang waved his hand, "My body is like this, it probably won't get better."

When he was at home, his health had improved significantly, and he thought it was a sign that he was almost fully recovered. But he never expected that his health would deteriorate after coming to Nandi City.

As in previous years, this made him very upset, and he also knew that he might not live past twenty.

At home, things are just a facade. A good environment will nourish your body and make it much better. But once you leave that comfort zone, your true condition will be revealed.

Du Mingxian didn't believe that Ling Silang would die at the young age of twenty. Even if he couldn't be cured, as long as he continued to be nourished by the spiritual water, he would definitely be able to live a good life.

"It's alright, there's definitely a way. Let me pack your things now, and we'll move to another inn."

Ling Silang would not refuse Du Mingxian's suggestion at all and agreed immediately.

The two soon arrived at the inn where Du Mingxian was staying. The inn had reopened a superior room, which was next to Ling Silang's room. The two went to Du Mingxian's room first.

After Ling Silang sat down, Du Mingxian asked, "You've only been in Nandi City for a little over ten days. How did you manage to get them to kill someone right in front of you? Was the Chunlou incident a suicide plot?"

"Yes, the incident at the brothel was a suicide frame-up."

Du Mingxian was shocked, "Suicide?"

"Yes, the girl who died originally came from a family with some assets. They lived a good life, had servants, and owned several shops. The family was harmonious."

"But because of her beauty, Sun Haoqiang took a liking to her and wanted to take her as his concubine. However, the girl disagreed, so Sun Haoqiang started targeting the people around her, trying to force her to submit."

“The girl naturally disagreed, so Sun Haoqiang became even more ruthless. First, he made the girl’s brother addicted to gambling, and he lost all his family’s wealth overnight.”

"When the gamblers went to collect the debt, they angered the girl's grandfather to death. The girl's father asked them to give him something, but the girl's mother refused. When she tried to pull him away, her head hit the back of her head and she lost consciousness immediately."

"The person did not die, but also did not wake up again."

"The shop and the family are all gone, and the girl's brother is still unrepentant and goes gambling again. In the end, he was dragged in front of the girl and asked to marry Sun Haoqiang in exchange for forgiveness of the girl's debts."

"Only then did the girl's brother realize what was happening, and he immediately committed suicide by running into the knife. When the girl's father saw this, he took medicine himself and gave it to his wife. The whole family died, leaving only the girl alone."

"The girl herself sold herself to a brothel. She said that anyone was fine with her, but Sun Haoqiang was not."

"This is the first time we've encountered someone who was pampered and raised by the Sun family. He's a lowly prostitute, and others might be okay with that, but he's different. This has seriously stirred up his rebellious thoughts."
