The Bert Family.Ningning Fang sat in the study, reading a news report about the dismemberment case at the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs. A peculiar smile appeared on her face."Knock knock knock." The servant knocked on the door of the study and respectfully said, "Miss, someone is here to see you.""Who?" Ningning Fang withdrew her gaze and asked in a low voice.The servant replied, "He says his surname is Lu."Lu? Lu Jiang?A fierce look flashed across Ningning Fang's eyes, and then she instructed, "I know. I'll be right down. Ask him to wait a moment."The servant: "Yes."After the servant left, Ningning Fang turned off the news and sat in her chair, her mind racing as she tried to guess why Lu Chen had come to see her.In the living room downstairs, Lu Chen sat on the sofa, observing the objects around him. A sharp glint flashed through his dark eyes.Shortly after, Ningning Fang came downstairs."What do you want?" Ningning Fang got straight to the point.

The mountain was covered with lush trees, looking vibrant, but for some reason, Evelyn Bert always felt uncomfortable. The more she looked at the mountain peak, the more it bothered her, and a sense of annoyance rose in her heart without any reason.Soon, Qing Zhi returned with a bowl of steaming noodles. Seeing Evelyn Bert frowning and staring at the opposite mountain peak, she asked with some confusion: "Miss, what are you looking at? Is there something on the mountain?""Nothing." Evelyn Bert didn't intend to tell Qing Zhi about her feelings. She took the noodles and sat down to eat in another direction.While Evelyn Bert was eating, Qing Zhi stayed by her side, but her eyes were not on Evelyn Bert. She kept looking at the other side of the village from time to time, even though her movements were very small, Evelyn Bert still noticed it."It's been so long, it doesn't matter anymore." Evelyn Bert said while eating.Upon hearing this, Qing Zhi paused slightly, then lowered her

As Wang Meixia's sycophantic voice faded, Evelyn Bert quickly pieced together the events of those years.Qingzhi was a girl she had rescued from human traffickers five years ago. Later, she found an opportunity to send Qingzhi into the military. Before that, Qingzhi's experiences had even moved Evelyn Bert to pity. Before meeting Evelyn Bert, Qingzhi was like a rat in the street in this village, with everyone calling for her downfall. The cause of all this was a fire that had occurred seven years prior.At the time, Qingzhi had just gotten married, and though her relationship with her husband wasn't deeply loving, it was a marriage blessed by both sets of parents. However, on the second day after her wedding, when she returned to her parents' home, a fire broke out at her family's house. Qingzhi's parents did not survive the blaze, both perishing in the charred ruins.The tragic death of her parents during her return visit became a topic of conversation among the villagers, who felt

"Okay."After receiving permission, the policewoman led Xiaoyu into a small room inside, closing the door behind them. She gently helped Xiaoyu remove her thin shirt. When she saw the whip marks on Xiaoyu's frail back, she couldn't help but gasp."Did... did they do this to you?" The policewoman asked, immediately feeling that her question was unnecessary. Such wounds could only have been inflicted by others; it was impossible for Xiaoyu to have done this to herself. Who would be so cruel to themselves?"Mm..."Xiaoyu didn't want to say anything at first, but thinking about Evelyn Bert's words and the silver handcuffs on Wang Meixia and the others, she suddenly felt more confident. Maybe... this time, she really could escape this hellish place!A glimmer of hope rose in Xiaoyu's heart. She pursed her lips and, looking at the sympathetic policewoman, asked softly, "Sister, will Mom and the others go to jail?"Xiaoyu had asked this question long ago, but back then, the answer was n

"When I went, Orville Quiller wasn't there," Fang Shumo said.Lu Li: "..."Wouldn't it be easier to deceive you if she wasn't there?!"But now, I don't know where she is either. It's no use finding me."He just couldn't understand why Fang Shumo always came to him instead of directly looking for Evelyn Bert.If he was going to look for him, why did he have to put on a face like his wife had run away with someone else? This made things very difficult for him!!!"Brother Fang, tell me the truth, do you really have feelings for Evelyn Bert?" Lu Li whispered, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Only the heavens, earth, you, and I will know!"After hearing his words, Fang Shumo's face darkened instantly, and he said, "If you're bored, I can call Uncle Lu for you for free."Lu Li: "... You'll end up without friends if you keep this up!""Oh, I was just asking casually. Don't take it seriously!""If you do that again, don't expect me to cover for you." Fang Shumo looked at him s
