Suddenly, she remembered Bai Mengmeng's outstanding performance that day; perhaps she could help her solve this thorny problem. So, she picked up her old phone and tried to find Bai Mengmeng's address in the news. However, after much effort, she still found nothing. In the end, she only found the address of Bai Mengmeng's company.

The next day, Jiang Yan arrived at Bai Mengmeng's company building. Gazing at the towering building before her, her heart was filled with hope and anticipation. She handed a carefully prepared letter to the receptionist, hoping it would reach Bai Mengmeng and let her see her plea for help. Then, she quietly left.

Bai Mengmeng received the message and had her secretary bring the letter up. When she opened the envelope, the words inside made her expression turn serious. The words recorded every detail of Jiang Yan's life, each word filled with grievance and suffering. Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined this mysterious person would bring so much trouble to their family." She hadn't originally intended to target Jiang Yan's family, but now it seemed someone had meticulously planned everything. And the mysterious person only met with Jiang Yan's husband at the casino; there were no other clues. Although Bai Mengmeng already had her suspicions, she still decided to keep it a secret from Lu Ze and carry out the plan herself.

Bai Mengmeng secretly contacted Jiang Yan. Considering Jiang Yan's phone might be under surveillance, she instructed her not to reply to messages and arranged to meet in an alley near Jiang Yan's house. She then revealed a secret passage to the underground parking garage to Jiang Yan.

Meanwhile, Lu Ze was anxiously awaiting Bai Mengmeng's arrival. However, when he saw Jiang Yan appear at the entrance to the underground parking garage, a wave of panic washed over him. Without thinking, he hurriedly drove away from the scene. Seeing this, Bai Mengmeng immediately transferred money to Jiang Yan via her mobile phone, telling her to leave first.

When Jiang Yan returned home, her husband was delighted to see that his wife had brought back a large sum of money. He urged her to quickly buy groceries and cook a meal to treat herself. Following Bai Mengmeng's instructions, Jiang Yan took the bottle of problematic wine home and then made her husband drink it.

A short while later, Jiang Yan's husband collapsed on the floor. It took Jiang Yan a lot of effort to help him to bed. She quickly tidied up the mess of empty bottles and glasses and carefully inspected the area.

Then, she began fumbling for his phone. After some effort, she finally unlocked it. However, when she checked the recent call log, she only found an unfamiliar virtual number. Aside from that, there were no other obvious clues or traces on the phone.

Jiang Yan carefully wiped away any fingerprints that might have been left on the phone before putting it back. At that moment, Bai Mengmeng received a message from Jiang Yan, informing her that the number seemed very troublesome. It seemed the only option was to try and find out from Jiang Yan if there were any other ways to find out how they usually met.

So, Bai Mengmeng took the number home and asked someone to help investigate. Meanwhile, Bai Mengmeng was intently watching the television news when an urgent news segment caught her attention.

This is a news report about a local criminal case. According to the police investigation, the murderer turned out to be the real killer in a long-standing murder case. Although this news cleared Zhao's name, Bai Mengmeng felt a strange sense of unease as she looked at the suspect's photo on the screen. She felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Meanwhile, Old Master Zhao had been anxiously watching the news. Only when he saw the news report was broadcast did he breathe a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Zhao Xu beside him, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

Zhao Xu hasn't told his family about being threatened for soliciting prostitution yet. After all, the other party hasn't taken any action yet, and if he were to reveal it rashly, it would only make him seem guilty. Therefore, he decided to remain silent for now and see how things develop.

Meanwhile, Lu Ze had been followed for the past few days, which frightened him. So, he simply hid at Bai Mengmeng's house. That day, Bai Mengmeng noticed that Lu Ze hadn't returned home and couldn't help but worry. Finally, when she heard familiar footsteps outside the door, she felt relieved.

"Why are you only just getting back?" Bai Mengmeng complained as she hurried to the door to greet Lu Ze. Lu Ze smiled slightly and explained, "I went to buy you some snacks." As he spoke, he handed the insulated box he was carrying to Bai Mengmeng.

Upon hearing about the snacks, Bai Mengmeng's eyes lit up immediately, and she eagerly asked, "What delicious food is it? Let me see!" Lu Ze smiled mysteriously, opened the insulated box, took out a box of crayfish, and said, "It's cold today, so let's eat something spicy to warm our stomachs." Bai Mengmeng was amused by Lu Ze, "People drink hot water to warm their stomachs, who eats spicy food?"

Just then, a news report on television caught Lu Ze's attention. The report detailed a major case, and the police were making every effort to apprehend the killer. Lu Ze stared at the image of the murderer on the screen; his intuition told him that this wasn't the person they were looking for.

Seeing this, Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "See, I was right. This person is clearly not the one we're looking for. Although this matter is related to the Zhao family, Zhao Xu has already received his due punishment. If we take action so openly now, wouldn't that just shift the suspicion onto ourselves?"

Lu Ze nodded, agreeing, "Yes, but it's really strange. Why would someone like this suddenly appear? Could someone be deliberately creating chaos?" The two fell into deep thought, trying to uncover the truth behind the incident…

Lu Ze and Bai Mengmeng didn't want to be bothered by these troubles anymore; they just wanted to enjoy their own world together.

Ji Feng finally got home, but he found he couldn't get in because he didn't have a key. Left with no other option, he sat by the door and waited for his father to come home and open the door.

It wasn't until late at night that his father slowly returned home. Upon seeing him, Ji Feng's father was overjoyed: "I haven't seen you in so long! It's so rare for you to come back!" Ji Feng didn't say much, but simply carried his luggage into the house and asked, "Dad, what happened between you and Mom? Why did you get a divorce?" Ji Feng's father sighed and explained, "Our relationship was strained, so we chose to divorce." Ji Feng said incredulously, "Impossible! You were doing just fine when I left!" Ji Feng's father replied somewhat impatiently, "That was just a facade. Actually, we had already broken up. It was because you left home that we decided to lay our marriage bare." Ji Feng was shocked. Had his parents' previous affection all been a facade? Ji Feng's father didn't want to explain further, only hoping that Ji Feng could face reality. Finally, Ji Feng left home, dejected and heartbroken.
