The young man with pockmarked skin happily held the camera aimed at the main entrance of the kindergarten. His elder brother had just said that if he could capture the image of Shi Su around the kindergarten today or photograph any kid from the kindergarten who had an unusual connection with Shi Su, he would get a salary raise of a thousand yuan. In short, his brother didn’t know what he had learned from the kindergarten they had staked out before. He seemed extremely confident about something, convinced that as long as they continued to follow Shi Su, they could uncover bigger news, and by then, they would be able to make a fortune with both Miss Shi and Mr. Yi. Shi Su noticed that the person with the young man was still smoking in the distance, not looking this way. She stepped briskly to the back of the van, coldly pulling a black plastic bag she had taken from the supermarket from her bag. The young man suddenly heard what seemed like footsteps behind him and instinctively started to turn his head. Before he could do so, his vision went dark as a double-layered black plastic bag was pulled over his head. The baton followed, striking hard on the young man’s shoulder. Just as he was about to howl in pain, he was swiftly kicked forward, causing him to fall to the ground silently, his camera crashing to the ground. Shi Su’s skin was extremely pale, but her eyes were as black as ink, such a stark contrast, yet it was no different from her usual silent endurance and her current fierceness and defiance. They were stalking her, secretly photographing her, and now they had reached toward her daughter. The autumn wind, however cool, could not extinguish the hidden anger in her heart. These five years away from everything past, surviving outside, she had almost forgotten that she was the one who had smashed a wine bottle on her father’s head a mere five years ago, resolutely severing relations with the Shi Family. She was never a lamb to be slaughtered. Over the years, what she had been persisting in, only she knew. Beneath the calm surface, there is a principle: if you respect me a foot, I will return it to you a yard, and similarly, grievances must be avenged, reciprocation is a virtue. She had her tasks to do, her persistence beneath her silence and endurance, her restrained brilliance. So, five years later, if Shi Su’s bottom line was not crossed, she could dismiss all criticism around her without a word, but if anyone dared to lay a hand on Shi Mianmian, it was a different matter. Wen Ke and Mrs. Qin picked up Mianmian just in time. As Mianmian came out, she didn’t recognize Auntie Wen Ke and looked at her with a dumbfounded expression, Mrs. Qin quickly took Mianmian away from the crowd in another direction. Seeing Mianmian had been taken away, Wen Ke glanced towards the van and swiftly walked over, snatching the baton from Shi Su’s hand, giving her a sign. Shi Su kicked the young man with pockmarked skin on the leg, who was writhing in pain on the ground, before briskly slipping away, picking up the cracked camera from the ground before leaving, and retrieving the data card from it. It took only a few minutes in total. The smoking brother returned to see the young man’s face swollen as if he had gained several kilograms, squatting beside the car with his head in his hands, not daring to move. "Brother." The young man with pockmarked skin glanced up, looking pitifully and painfully at the middle-aged fat man walking over, then glanced behind him with his eyes.

The middle-aged fat man walked over cautiously, staring at the tall, slender woman with short hair, simultaneously seeing her fiddling with something in her hand... What was that? A baton? Wen Ke glanced indifferently at the middle-aged fat man and casually raised an ID. The middle-aged fat man’s face changed. Damn? Is she really a cop? Such a pretty policewoman? "The police station received a report from the kindergarten’s security office that two people were sneaking around with a camera near the area, not knowing what they were filming." Wen Ke put away her ID, speaking coldly: "Is it you two?" Middle-aged fat man: "... Officer, there might be a misunderstanding, but what’s with my brother’s face? You can’t just act without understanding the truth, right?" Wen Ke kept a straight face: "He was already on the ground when I arrived, looking just like that when I saw him." "How could that be?! Then what’s with the baton in your hand?" "Do I need to explain to you?" The young man with pockmarked skin cried out in grievance, "Though I didn’t see who hit me, when the bag was taken off, she was the only one I saw!" Wen Ke stared icily, and the young man with pockmarked skin quickly shut his mouth, not daring to utter another sound. "Oh?" Wen Ke said blandly, "First, I wasn’t the one you were following, and second, as a public servant, I’d never harm someone. It must be because by working in your line of business, you offend too many people, so you get beaten up anywhere, anytime. I just happened upon it by chance." "But officer, we were really not photographing carelessly..." "Less nonsense, the evidence is here." Wen Ke pointed to the camera on the ground, "Come with me back to the station to make a record." In the evening, Wen Ke came to the house for dinner as scheduled. Because Mianmian often saw photos of Aunt Wen Ke, even though they had been apart for two years and two years ago, she was very little with blurred memories, she finally recognized Aunt Wen Ke. The little girl was hopping around the room holding the little gift Aunt brought her. After dinner, Mianmian was taken by Mrs. Qin to brush her teeth. Shi Su said, "I checked that data card after I returned. They didn’t capture anything substantial, but most of the scenes were indeed near the previous kindergarten. These people have a keen sense for certain sensitive events. I reckon they guessed something out of thin air and hence are trying every possible way to start investigating from this angle at the kindergarten. Did you find out anything else?" "The accounts under these two people have received money from two different individuals. One from Shi Yunyin’s private account and another from a VIP account that the police don’t have permission to view privately, but the source is linked to Four Seas Entertainment." While speaking, Wen Ke glanced at Shi Su: "According to their statements, Shi Yunyin is trying every possible means to investigate you, and the other person paid them not to follow you too closely. Can you guess who that person might be?" Shi Su pondered for a moment but did not answer. However, given how well Wen Ke knew her, Shi Su must have already realized the entire situation in that instant. "They also captured some evidence regarding your boyfriend outside the industry. It’s a man driving a Passat. They said you two had breakfast together in the car, and the photos have already been given to those two people who paid." Boyfriend outside the industry? Lu Zhao was working overtime in the evening. He had just taken a stack of files and walked into the CEO’s office when he suddenly sneezed: "Achoo—" Jing Jihan raised his calm black eyes from behind the desk, giving him a cold glance: "Caught a cold?" Lu Zhao repressed his voice and replied, "No."
