"Qin Yue, are you crazy?"
"Why does it annoy me so much when I hear you speak?" Qin Yue turned and walked away, Qin Shuang could only grab her luggage and chase after him, the more she chased, the more annoyed she became.
"Qin Yue, youâre talking to your sister like this for a girl, is this attitude right?"
"Donât bother me. If I hear you say anything bad about her again, donât blame me for turning against you."
Qin Shuangâs steps paused, a glimmer of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "The more you care, the less the family will agree."
Qin Yue ignored her, exited the train station and was about to get in the car, but was stopped by a policeman, "Are you Qin Yue?"
"I am!"
"Sheng An is in trouble, Captain Xu is looking for you."
Qin Yueâs face changed drastically. He grabbed the otherâs collar, "What happened, tell me clearly?"
"Youâll know once you get there."
Qin Yue threw the person to the ground, jumped into the car, and drove away, Qin Shuang shouted from behind for a long time but he didnât hear.
As soon as Qin Yue arrived, he was met with a punch, fast and vicious, even though he reacted quickly he couldnât dodge. He took a heavy hit to the stomach, staggered back three steps to steady himself.
"What did you promise me? Where is the person you were supposed to protect?" Xu Qigang went up and kicked again, this time Qin Yue didnât even try to dodge.
"Iâm sorry!"
"Do you think saying sorry helps? I never thought youâd make such a basic mistake." Xu Qigang pressed his lips, eventually saying nothing more. But the less he spoke, the more self-reproach Qin Yue felt.
"Please leave now! The case needs organizing and investigation, youâll be subpoenaed if there are new developments."
"I want to see Sheng An." Qin Yue blocked in front.
"The suspect doesnât want to see anybody."
"Get out..." Qin Yue erupted, directly shoving the person aside.
"I... I just want to see Anâan." He still hadnât fully grasped the situation.
"She doesnât want to see you." Sheng Ning sighed, pulling Xu Qigang, urging, "Letâs go back! I need to call my mom." She had calmed down, staying here wasnât solving anything.
Sheâs realized that Anâan is at most excessive self-defense, relying on her currently available resources, she could surely rescue Anâan. Han Xiaoqiu is Hai Familyâs adopted daughter, if they abandon pursuing responsibility, this matter can be settled.
Currently, her priority is to go to the courtyard.

Sun Gan rushed into Su Haiâs office, not even sparing a glance at the door.
"Whatâs happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Sheng Ningâs younger sister is in trouble."
"Whatâs wrong?" Su Hai stood up abruptly, walked around to the front of the desk and asked, "Why is there trouble again? Is it related to Han Xiaoqiu?"
"Han Xiaoqiu is dead, but she deserved it, tried to harm Sheng An and accidentally was pushed down by Sheng An, happened to hit her head on stone."
"Now this is troublesome! Han Xiaoqiu is Mr. Haiâs adopted daughter, the Hai family might not save her, but now sheâs dead, the Hai family canât stand idly by."
"Yes, theyâve alerted the Hai family, I heard Mr. Hai is very angry. Sheng An has been arrested, Sheng Ning and Xu Qigang also rushed over."
"Get the car ready, Iâll make a few calls then head over."
"Should we inform Mr. Su?"
"Iâm asking you to get the car ready because Iâm going back to the courtyard." Su Hai said impatiently, "Ningning is in trouble, the key people are now in the courtyard."
First time realizing his trusted aide was so foolish.
******
General Union Courtyard
Mr. Su had just received the phone notification, he was originally playing chess with Mr. Hai, stunned by the unexpected news.
"What trick is your adopted daughter up to now?"
"The person is dead, say less." Mr. Hai had just asked Hai Shen to help with Han Xiaoqiuâs funeral arrangements, simultaneously notifying her husband. "Our family holds two funerals within a month, canât you hold your tongue?"
"Two funerals? Oh! That must be hard on Hai Shen, seems like all handovers are handled by him." Mr. Su didnât take it seriously at all, infuriating Mr. Hai until his nose smoked.
"Can you stop gloating? Is this what a revolutionary comrade should say?"
"Then what should I say? My granddaughter just got arrested."
"My adopted daughter is dead."
"But she was the one who tried to harm first." Mr. Su scattered the chess pieces in disarray, "For this matter, you should express your stance first, the investigation result is out, it was Han Xiaoqiu who attempted malicious actions toward my granddaughter. Anâan was merely defending herself, must she stick her head out for someone to kill her?"
"Old Su, stop being unreasonable, is Sheng An your granddaughter? Youâre too domineering. If itâs Sheng Ning, considering our many years of friendship, Iâd back down and disregard my principles and limits. But Sheng An has half a centâs relation with your family?" Mr. Hai grumbled, grabbing his cane and preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Home, I see no need for your family to visit anymore. I donât make friends with such domineering, selfish, unreasonable people."
"Youâre just realizing Iâm unreasonable now? How am I unreasonable?" Mr. Su mumbled crossly, "It was Han Xiaoqiu who picked this fight, sheâs the one who sought her own demise, can anyone else be blamed?"
"Stop speaking so harshly, what do you mean by seeking death? She was just asking Sheng An to intercede and help bail her daughter out." If he had known this, he would have released Huwen, wouldnât have led to such a mess.
And Xiaoqiu wouldnât have died in such a bewilderment.
"So youâre going to pursue this to the end?"
"I wonât do anything, as long as thereâs a fair legal judgment."
Mr. Su stood in place sneering, "Fine! The Hai family actually talks to me about fairness, Iâll just see how you people define fairness."
Just as Mr. Hai left, Sheng Ning and Su Hai arrived closely, within minutes Su Huaiâan hurried back anxiously.
"Iâm sorry, Ningning, itâs my fault for not taking good care of Anâan."
"Donât say that, itâs not your fault." Sheng Ning stifled the urge to cry, suddenly knelt before Mr. Su. "Grandfather, please save Anâan no matter what, even if I have to be locked up, please, you must save Anâan."
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by her sudden kneeling.
"You foolish child, why are you kneeling? Get up quickly." The old man was filled with heartache.
Sheng Ning refused to stand up while kneeling, the old man glared fiercely at Xu Qigang, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and help your wife up?"
