An Ling was indeed somewhat surprised.

But upon closer reflection, Yun Xingzhou was just a minor character in the original novel, barely mentioned, and it was impossible to explain everything he was doing. She wasn't sure if Yun Xingzhou had originally planned to investigate these matters, but his death in a car accident in the original story brought everything to an abrupt end.

After confirming with Yun Shurui again and receiving a positive answer, An Ling felt relieved.

[That's good. I won't have to make excuses to reveal things I shouldn't know to Shu Rui. Otherwise, not only might they not believe me, but I'll also have a hard time explaining my source.]

I'll wait two more days. If Yun Xingzhou still can't find out, then we absolutely can't delay any longer.

Fortunately, the speed of the Cloud Star Boat was even faster than An Ling had imagined.

On the second morning after checking into the resort hotel, Anling saw several people in police uniforms talking at the hotel front desk on her way to the restaurant for breakfast.

She quickly messaged Yun Shurui and learned that the girl who had been forced by Chen Tianbin had been rescued the previous night, but it was too late for Yun Shurui to tell An Ling.

Fortunately, we arrived in time; the girl had actually cut her wrists in the room!

In fact, Chen Tianbin's affair would not break her at all. What truly devastated her was that her parents would betray their daughter for money, locking her at home to prevent her from calling the police and using her as a bargaining chip to exchange for money.

She had no other options and couldn't contact anyone, so in despair she chose to end her life.

Yun Xingzhou sent people to take her to the hospital for emergency treatment. The first thing the girl did after waking up was to call the police. She wanted to make Chen Tianbin and her parents, those three beasts, pay the price. Now all three of them have been arrested. The police came to the hotel to retrieve surveillance footage, and some people at the hotel are probably also involved in some issues.

Although the hotel's rules and regulations are clearly written, there must be people who, out of respect for Chen Tianbin, have not followed the rules, which is why Chen Tianbin has been able to get away with it time and time again. These people must also pay the corresponding price.

Yun Shurui: Anyway, whatever the girl wants to do, the Yun family will provide assistance. For now, we can only send a lawyer to provide her with legal help. After this matter is resolved, we are also willing to help her move to another place and provide her with a job. After all, the incident happened in a Yun family hotel, and we will definitely take full responsibility.

An Ling was now completely relieved. The most urgent matter had been resolved, and the rest could be left for Yun Xingzhou to investigate slowly. In any case, with that father and son setting their sights on Yun Shurui, it would be strange if Yun Xingzhou let them off the hook.

Yun Shurui also revealed some details to An Ling. Originally, more than a week had passed since that incident, and it would be difficult to find substantial evidence to convict Chen Tianbin. However, the girl's parents took her to the hospital for examination and preserved the evidence as soon as she asked them for help.

In fact, these parents are not stupid. On the contrary, they know very well what the most crucial evidence is that could threaten Chen Tianbin.

However, their decision to preserve the evidence was not to seek justice for their daughter, but rather to use it as a long-term source of income. They were not satisfied with just swindling one sum of money; they wanted to use the concealed evidence to threaten Chen Tianbin whenever they ran out of money.

Although they did this entirely for their own benefit, by a twist of fate it became the most powerful blow to convict Chen Tianbin, and they themselves could not escape legal punishment.

An Ling didn't care how Guo Wenxiang would go crazy after learning that his son had been arrested. Anyway, if they investigated his son's affairs, they would eventually find out about him. After all, Chen Tianbin wasn't always this bold. He was spoiled by Guo Wenxiang, who used illegal means to clean up his messes time and time again. Neither the young nor the old could escape.

After the pressure was gone, An Ling planned to relax and unwind at the resort with Yun Shurui for a few days, waiting to celebrate Yun Shurui's birthday before returning to Haicheng. By then, her unlucky second brother should be back.

This resort is Yun's largest investment project in Ningcheng. It is a high-end resort destination that focuses on healing the mind and body, cultivating character, and integrating leisure and entertainment.

The resort itself is built on a peninsula nestled against the mountains and by the water, with stunning scenery. In addition to a five-star hot spring hotel, there is also a golf course, equestrian center, amusement park, shopping mall... basically, all kinds of facilities are available. When the weather is hot, there are also various water sports activities. It is definitely a great place to relax, unwind, and experience a slow-paced life.

An Ling was prepared to be a couch potato for a few days, but she never expected to run into the person she least wanted to see right now.

It was the day before Yun Shurui's birthday. An Ling and Yun Shurui had just finished eating and were about to go back to their room. The two of them stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for their floor. Just as the elevator doors were closing in the middle, leaving only a crack, a hurried voice came from outside, "Hey, wait, we're going up too!"

An Ling pressed the open button for her, and the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing Gu Chenming's perpetually icy face, as if someone in his family had died.

[Holy crap, what's Gu Chenming doing here?!]

[I can't stand my clumsy hands anymore, is it too late to press the close button now?]

Yun Shurui was on guard the moment she saw Gu Chenming, fearing that she would hit him if she saw An Ling licking her again.

An Ling's screaming, chicken-like breakdown startled Yun Shurui.

She even wondered if she had misheard. Why did An Ling's voice sound so full of disdain? Shouldn't she be full of joy at a time like this?

Oh no, An Ling's face was indeed full of joy.

That makes the situation even stranger.

As Yun Shurui listened to An Ling's increasingly disgusted voice, she watched as An Ling's face lit up with a delighted smile, and she exclaimed joyfully, "Brother Chenming~ What a coincidence~"

【Chen~Ming~Brother~~】

【yue. 】

[I'll endure it, I'll endure it. It's just a simp persona, I can maintain it!]

Go for it, An Xiaoling! You can do it!

Let's act!

"Anling?"

Gu Chenming didn't expect An Ling to appear here. This was their first meeting since the incident involving the real and fake heiresses.

Although he had always been hot and cold towards An Ling, she still had the identity of the An family's daughter. If the An family completely stopped caring about An Ling in the future, then An Ling would have no value to him, and he wouldn't even need to give her that hot and cold treatment.

However, Gu Chenming is still unsure whether the An family's attitude towards An Ling has changed, so it's best to continue to entice her in the same way as before.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here on vacation," An Ling said, controlling her composure as an actress to reveal a fawning smile that only a sycophant would wear. "And you, Brother Chenming? I didn't expect we'd both come here by chance. Doesn't that mean we're incredibly destined for each other?"

In the past, An Ling would have gone over and tried to take Gu Chenming's arm by now, but she really didn't want to do that now.

[I feel like I'm about to get injured just saying these few words. If I try to link arms with him, I'm afraid I'll twist his arm and break it. But if I don't, will that ruin my image? So frustrating!]

Just as An Ling was struggling with her decision, the girl who had called the elevator to stop earlier actually linked arms with Gu Chenming right in front of An Ling, and then looked at An Ling with a provocative expression.

"Isn't this Miss An? Chen Ming and I are here to film, of course. But Miss An, you wouldn't have followed us here on purpose, would you?"
