his slippers.Lin Meng couldn't believe it. Lin Zi had just left like that! Wasn't she at all worried Didn't she have any other thoughts!Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile either, he didn't expect that th...Lin Meng, after Yu Xu had left, took the two children alone to the small study. After a while of talking, when she came out, she saw Rong Ling leaning at the door. Her ears immediately turned slightly red, but she silently pulled him outside. They walked about seven or eight meters away before she whispered to him.

"When did you come"

"I've been listening for a while now."

She then somewhat embarrassedly tugged at her hair, revealing a delicate shyness.

"Children grow up day by day, and I'm a little worried that I won't be able to teach them well!"

"How come, you taught it very well!"

My son went out, who can compare to him! And it's not him bragging, his son is the best, no one can beat him!

She playfully stuck out her tongue, grabbed his large palm, playing with it, then pressed her face against his chest and rubbed it softly, murmuring sweetly.

“When I was young, my dad and… mom, they didn’t care about me. They didn’t teach me anything. I just grew up confused and clueless. So sometimes, I feel a bit lost, not knowing how to guide Youyou. I want to raise him really well, but I’m also worried that I won’t be able to do it!”

Hearing this, his heart ached. He immediately pulled her into a tight embrace. He was well aware of her family's situation.

Oh, my dear!

He extended his large hand, gently caressing the back of her head, like a lover, and also like a father.

"Don't worry, you have me. Raising a child isn't just your responsibility. Trust me, our children will be amazing in the future."

This statement, slightly, dispelled the confusion in her heart. She softly let out an “um.”

But he felt even more heartache. Thinking back to when she was pregnant, he himself was still a child who hadn't grown up, and he had already started stumbling around taking care of the baby. He imagined she must have had many worries like this today. Then he remembered the several parenting books she kept in her study. Those pages, slightly yellowed with age, looked like they had been turned over countless times by her.

My little sweetheart!

He sighed inwardly, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the ear. Instantly, the pink that had been lingering at the tip of her ear spread outward, crawling down to her lobe. Her fair ears, with a hint of pink, peeked out from beneath her raven hair like adorable little rabbit ears, trembling slightly.

He gave her a gentle bite before letting go.

"You wouldn't believe how well your son is doing because of you!"

He praised her effusively, a charming smile on his lips, and lightly kissed her softly.

Her eyes were sparkling with happiness, like two stars had fallen into them. He was so moved by her that he couldn't bear to let her go.

“I’m going to have a word with my son,” she murmured, her lips close to his ear, in a tone that was both suggestive and affectionate. “Just to give him a heads-up, before the Lius make trouble!”

In his game of wits with Wu Shengnan, the young boy has always played a crucial role. With Wu Shengnan's death, the young boy is likely to be questioned as well.

Lin Meng let out an "Mmm" and said, "Then I'll go downstairs first."

Lin Meng went downstairs to look for Mom Rong, while Rong Ling entered the small study. As soon as he came in, he saw two little ones sitting on the sofa whispering together, exchanging what their mother had just said to them.What Lin Meng told them meant that if people did bad things, there were ways to punish them. If it was a small matter, we might as well be magnanimous and not stoop to their level, so as not to lower our own standards; but if it was a big matter, then we should take action, give the other party a taste of their own medicine, so as not to let them think that this side is easy to bully. But there was one thing, absolutely no taking innocent lives. That's against the law, not to mention that it would also be a stain on our conscience.

When Rong Ling came in, the two little ones immediately stopped talking.

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "What, you don't agree with what your mommy said"

Two little heads shaking in unison. (....tw no pop-up ads)

"As if I would!" Xiaoyou retorted.

Rong Ling walked up to the two little ones and said with certainty, “Your mommy is right. Life deserves respect and reverence. You must remember her words!”

Two little kids nodded vigorously.

Rong Ling crouched down again, reaching out with his hand, one palm to each of the two little guys, grabbing their heads.

"But Daddy has something to tell you too, that life is indeed worthy of respect and awe. However, if someone hurts the treasures in your hearts, you must absolutely repay them tenfold!"

The two little ones immediately nodded in deep agreement. Deep down, they were proud and wild, like wolves. Mommy said to respect life, and they knew it, understood it. But if anyone dared to offend them, they wouldn't hold back. What was the point of being tolerant It wasn't something you could eat or drink! It was better to just deal with them directly, so they wouldn't keep pestering them around. But -- for Mommy, they would act polite.

Rong Ling rubbed the two little heads heavily and instructed, "You must listen to your mommy. It's hard for mommy to take care of both of you."

The two little ones nodded their heads again.

Rong Ling was satisfied, so she sat down on the sofa and beckoned to the two little ones.

"Come here," he said again, patting his thigh.

He rarely showed such affection. Most of the time, he gave the two little ones the feeling of being both powerful and imposing, sometimes even with a chilling aloofness that was awe-inspiring.

Seeing this, the two little ones knew they couldn't miss this opportunity. Their eyes lit up and they smiled brightly as they jumped down from the sofa and bounced onto his legs. Rong Ling picked them up one by one, placing them on either side of his thighs.

"About what happened with Li Lanqiu, you all know about it. Now your father will tell you about her."

Although Xiao Youyou has participated in many plans to stop Wu Shengnan from bothering Rong Ling, he didn't know that Li Lanqiu was a disguise of Wu Shengnan until this morning. He still doesn't know who Wu Shengnan is. Wu Shengnan and party M have gotten involved. This kind of big deal, Rong Ling would definitely not tell these two. Currently, besides his superiors, the only ones on Rong Ling's side who know the truth are Lin Meng and Yu Xu. And this will be a secret that Rong Ling, Lin Meng, and Yu Xu will have to keep for their whole lives!

"Fake Li Lanqiu died last night. The police initially ruled it as suicide by fear of crime, but they didn't rule out the possibility of murder. As you all know, Dad has been under pressure from others recently, so this time, someone might try to frame him, linking her death to him. Dad entrusted you two with a task, you――

Rong Ling looked at Xiao Youyou.

"If the police come and ask you why Daddy and Mommy are still sleeping together even though their relationship is bad, tell them that it's because you asked them to. Tell them you don't want Daddy and Mommy to separate or get divorced, okay"

"I guarantee completion of the task!"

The little boy nodded firmly. He had acted in quite a few plays recently, so this small scene was a piece of cake for him.

As for Haohuo―― Rong Ling looked at him. "If any police come to ask you, just stay silent. If they really insist on getting a word out of you, then give them a few."

Although Xiao Hao doesn't talk much, he is extremely smart. Rong Ling has always looked highly of him. This kid was able to pick Lin Meng so astutely back then, and stubbornly clung to her until she even adopted him as her son, which shows that this kid has a deep mind!

Xiaohuo also followed suit and nodded emphatically.

Essentially, Rong Ling only told the two younger ones about these two key points. As for the rest, the two younger ones were smart and would definitely be able to handle it. During this time, he had also been giving the two younger ones ideological education. He did this in preparation for when he kicked Wu Shengnan out later, so that outsiders wouldn't be able to find anything from the two young boys. Unexpectedly, these two young ones were facing a test so soon.

Rong Ling was absolutely right. That morning, the police arrived at the house unexpectedly. They announced that they would be individually questioning everyone inside. Very quickly, all those to be questioned were called over: Lin Meng and her family of four, the drivers Yi, Dayang, and Xiao Lu, the steward Zun Shu, the maid Yu Ma, and other security guards, including the one who had been on duty at the gate the previous night.

This is a big operation, at first glance, you can tell the other party has done their homework, they are specifically targeting Rong Ling, and they want to make some achievements!

This, however, was the Liu family's idea. The Liu family was very excited and sent people to look for the mysterious person while also trying to trick Rong Ling once again. Jiang Yichen received instructions from the Liu family and naturally couldn't refuse on the surface. The only thing he could do for Rong Ling was to try his best to buy him time. He believed that with Rong Ling's abilities, before the police arrived, he should have made all the necessary preparations.

After everyone needed was gathered, the police who arrived divided into two groups. One group entered the reception room to conduct checks, while the other stayed behind, watching the others. This was actually a disguised surveillance measure, preventing those suddenly summoned from having any chance to escape! This was Liu's family's plan. They intended to use this sudden raid and, during the questioning process, obtain various pieces of information. By exploiting loopholes in language, they would try to forcefully pin the false death of Li Lanqiu onto Rong Ling. However, the police who came with a mission soon realized it was going to be difficult!

The forensic team has already collected hair samples from a fake Li Lanqiu and conducted DNA tests with Li Lanqiu's parents, confirming that there is no familial relationship between them. This confirms that Li Lanqiu is an imposter.

Feng Ling replied coolly. "Last night, the police came to arrest someone pretending to be Li Lanqiu. My men called me and told me about it. I only knew a little bit about it. After confirming that it was your police department's test results."

"How do you feel She's dead."

Rong Ling let out a cold laugh.

"Answer!" Captain Wan insisted in a low voice.

Rong Ling sneered and asked sarcastically, "How do you think someone would feel after being used and toyed with for so long Do you really need to ask"

This is extremely embarrassing!

Then you must be feeling very happy and content, getting what you wished for

His eyes narrowed, and he shot a look at Captain Wan as if with a knife.

Remember, you are a police officer, not a gossip reporter. If you continue with this attitude, I refuse to answer your questions. If you have something to say, please consult my lawyer first!

Captain Wan's expression immediately stiffened as he tried to defend himself.

"This is just official business. The clearer you are with what you've been asked to do, the easier it will be for you to clear your name!"

Whom do you represent

A sudden, sharp question, like a razor-sharp blade, pressed against Wan's forehead, threatening him as if to pierce him through. The icy gaze, with its soul-chilling quality, seemed capable of penetrating his very heart.

Wan Mou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He felt as if he were completely exposed in front of Rong Ling, and it seemed that Rong Ling already knew he was sent by someone else.

He remained composed, but a bead of sweat trickled down his forehead nonetheless. The man across from him had eyes that truly tested one's resolve!

What I represent is――

"Rong Ling cut him off. "You naturally represent fairness, justice, and righteousness. My lawyer is on his way. Before he arrives, I actually have the right to remain silent, but I'm cooperating with you so much now because I hope my cooperation can allow you to understand this fake Li Lanqiu matter sooner and find the real Li Lanqiu as soon as possible. Also, who is this fake Li Lanqiu Why did she pretend to be Li Lanqiu What was her purpose in approaching me What does she intend to do to me Or is there someone behind the scenes pulling the strings I hope the police can help me find out all of these things. From beginning to end, I have been an innocent victim. I also hope that the police will stand in my position as a victim and think more for me, instead of interrogating me like I'm a criminal suspect! Deputy Minister Jiang indicated at the very beginning that the fake Li Lanqiu committed suicide out of fear of crime, and based on the various clues at the scene, this assumption seems to hold. However, Captain Wan, your questioning makes me feel like you're treating me as a suspect. I want to ask, why is that"

The displeased gaze, like an invisible rope, tightened around his neck. Captain Wan suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and began to fidget slightly. A bead of cold sweat trickled silently down the side of his forehead.

Bearing a strained smile, Captain Wan spoke with his numb scalp tingling.

"You're getting sensitive, sensitive, heh heh..."

Rong Ling, however, remained with a cold face and icy eyes.

Captain Wan couldn't handle this solo performance alone, so he could only take the joke and change the subject, not daring to ask anything too sharp anymore. After all, Rong Ling was truly a formidable opponent. If he made him unhappy, he feared his future investigations would be hindered. Furthermore, considering that Rong Ling's lawyer was already on his way, then he had to make haste. Rong Ling was a tough nut to crack. He had mentally prepared himself before coming, but now that he had been coldly subdued by Rong Ling, he didn't ask much further and ended the investigation. He then called in Lin Meng to take notes.

Choose the soft persimmons, and Captain Wan is reorganizing his forces, planning to make a major breakthrough on Lin Meng's side. However, as soon as Lin Meng entered, she had a cold face and didn't speak, her attitude showing extreme impatience. When asked about pretending to be Li Lanqiu, she was uncooperative.

"I have nothing to say about the woman who destroyed my marriage."

Captain Wan felt a thrill of excitement. Thinking to himself that being young had its advantages, he casually asked: "So, you hate that woman"

"I can't say I hate her, because it wouldn't be fitting for me to be so petty with someone like that. But I do dislike her."

He suddenly asked, "Are you happy that she is dead"

Lin Meng's eyes widened immediately. "Happy! How is that possible! She messed up my marriage, and before I could even retaliate, she just committed suicide so easily. Happy How could I be happy! I'm about to explode. Just like that, she died, so who am I supposed to vent all the anger I endured from her these past days to!"

"Didn't you kill her to get it off your chest!"

Lin Meng immediately put on a cold face. "What do you mean Are you doubting me!"

Her voice immediately turned cold, then she let out a laugh of mockery and snorted.

"Are you trying to set a language trap for me! Captain Wan, you're too cunning, and a little bit despicable. To judge others by your own standards, you're insulting me!"

Captain Wan said seriously, "We're just guessing, you have the motive to kill!"

Lin Meng just sneered. "I'm not that stupid, to go and kill her Would I do that! My son is still young, I have to watch him grow up. If I killed someone, I would have to go to jail, maybe even be executed by firing squad. You think I'm crazy To run off and kill her! Captain Wan, please don't say these things to a mother like me. Any mother like me who hears this would be furious. This kind of suspicion is too hurtful, too much!"

Her eyes flared with fire.

"Captain Wan narrowed his eyes and comforted, 'Don't be angry, we're just following procedure. If you didn't kill this person, you'd be fine.'"

"I'm fine." Lin Meng smiled faintly, her whole person suddenly became tranquil, like a still lake. No matter how you stir the surface, I remain calm and composed, indifferent to your attempts to ruffle my peace. She appeared soft and easily swayed, but Captain Wan soon realized that while she still cooperated with his questions, her tone remained detached. She would answer, but never elaborate, as if she had been frightened by his "linguistic traps."

He felt a twinge of frustration because Lin Meng had brought up the "language trap," although she hadn't explicitly stated it, he began to question her motives. This cast doubt on the weight of his notes and forced him to consider during questioning if his questions might be construed as setting traps for her. These notes weren't just for his eyes; others would review them, and the original recording could even be reviewed for verification.

Thus, after a thorough review, it was not found to be any easier than the previous lenient examination due to numerous concerns!

When Lin Meng ended the interrogation and turned to leave, he even couldn't help but wonder if Lin Meng's initial impatience and uncooperativeness were feigned. Then, when it seemed like he was guiding her answers, leading her into a trap, in reality, she was guiding him, turning his efforts against him. She labeled him as "setting linguistic traps," making him apprehensive and hesitant, unable to act freely.

Is this possible

This woman who looks so soft and wouldn't make much of a fuss even if she was bullied by someone, could she possibly be this quick-witted!

Captain Wan sighed inwardly, feeling a bit lost and even despondent. Two heavyweight figures had already questioned him, and he had racked his brains to no avail. His mouth was dry from talking, but so far, he hadn't gotten any concrete evidence. It seemed that from now on, he could only rely on the two youngsters.

These two adults are hard to deal with, but these two four or five-year-old children should be easy to get along with, right

As soon as Captain Wan thought this, his whole body trembled. He quickly picked up his teacup, took a sip to wet his throat, and planned to wait for the two juniors to come up before he would show them his true skills!

Since the children were still young, Ling required that two adults be present when questioning them. Otherwise, the kids might get scared and have problems later! The two children weren't useless, of course, but having adults around also prevented Captain Wan and his team from using any overly aggressive tactics on them. To avoid suspicion, Ling and Meng didn't go in themselves. Instead, they let the police randomly select one of their bodyguards.

Little Youyou goes in first.

Captain Wan smiled amiably and softly comforted the child, telling him not to be nervous. He explained that he was just going to ask some questions, and the child should answer as much as he could. However, he immediately realized that the child before him was no ordinary child. He was truly the son of Rong Ling. Although he had politely nodded his head upon entering, his small face was cold and aloof, giving off a sense of detachment. Moreover, there was a faint air of nobility, as if he were sitting high on a throne. The aristocratic aura of a wealthy family, ingrained in their very bones, made him involuntarily sigh inwardly.

"Little friend, uncle wants to ask you, did your parents go out last night"

"No."

"So, what did your mom and dad do last night"

"Play, chat, sleep!" Concise and to the point, very much like a father's words.

Captain Wan had a bad feeling in his gut and immediately forced a smile, trying to appear more benevolent.

"Don't be nervous, kid. Just talk like you normally would. Uncle is here to clear your dad and mom."

"I don't understand!" the little boy frowned, his face turned cold, and his voice was icy. "That's how I always speak, ask away."

Captain Wan almost choked. What's wrong with these kids nowadays They're so different from the ones he remembered, they've changed so much, it's hard to deal with!Chapter Name: 176ps: Starting yesterday, I will resume daily updates until the Lunar New Year holiday!Don't miss out on the 175 chapters that were updated yesterday.
