Jiang Xiao learns from Meng Xinian about a secret Cui Zhenyan has been hiding: his ongoing correspondence with his ex-wife, which began out of guilt but has now caused complications. Jiang Xiao worries about the potential fallout, especially concerning Cui Zhenyan's wife and mother.

Meng Xinian actually knew that Jiang Xiao wouldn’t do something like that. It was just a method he casually mentioned. Of course, for someone without scruples or a bottom line, this would definitely be a good method.

"There’s another way, which is to solve this problem for Cui Zhenyan."

Jiang Xiao was momentarily stunned, "Solve it for him? How can this matter be resolved?"

Such matters should only be resolved by those directly involved. How could it be otherwise?

"It can be temporarily resolved," Meng Xinian guided her thoughts, "Consider this, why can Gao Ming use this matter to threaten Cui Zhenyan? It’s nothing more than two scenarios: one, he’s in possession of the correspondence between him and his ex-wife; two, he has his ex-wife under control and can bring her directly before Cui Zhenyan to create an issue."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao’s eyes immediately brightened.

"So, if we were to steal back the letters he’s got, or find Cui Zhenyan’s ex-wife first to protect her, Gao Ming and his crew would have no means left?"

"Exactly, have Ding Haijing and the others look into it. I suspect Cui Zhenyan’s ex-wife’s parents have already passed away. As she mentioned in her letters, she came to the Capital City because of this, which is how Gao Ming caught onto it. If that’s the case, the woman is likely under Gao Ming’s control now."

"Even after this matter is resolved, they still might use this woman to continually threaten Cui Zhenyan in the future."

After Meng Xinian’s enlightenment, Jiang Xiao felt much clearer in her mind.

Initially, she felt utterly clueless about what to do, but now it didn’t seem as particularly difficult to tackle.

"Brother Xinian, I know what to do now!"

"It’s tough on you, my wife, having to handle all these matters,"

Meng Xinian felt that he was merely suggesting ideas while everything else required Jiang Xiao to take action, and he felt especially guilty toward her.

"Without you, I’d still be in a fog, not knowing what to do. So we’re both busy with this; it’s just that you provide the brains, and I provide the brawn!" Jiang Xiao said.

Meng Xinian laughed, "Alright, then hurry up and get Ding Haijing and the others to take action."

"Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiao immediately sought out Ding Haijing and the others.

It turned out just as Meng Xinian had analyzed: Cui Zhenyan’s ex-wife, Niu Xiaoqin’s parents had both passed away. Feeling no ties to home and having lived such a hard life, she wanted, now in the twilight of her years, to follow her heart for once and came to the Capital City to find Cui Zhenyan.

The identity Cui Zhenyan fabricated was that of a staff member in the planning bureau, which genuinely existed, and the identity he concocted was also real—he merely borrowed someone else’s name, albeit with a different surname.

He didn’t expect Niu Xiaoqin would come to the Capital City to find him.

After all, back then, she preferred setting up that scene rather than leaving with him, so he really didn’t expect middle-aged Niu Xiaoqin to have such courage.

Niu Xiaoqin found the planning bureau and hunted down the person under Cui Zhenyan’s alias but found the surname different.

She inquired there persistently, which caught Gao Ming’s people’s attention.

Gao Ming’s people took her back for questioning, repeatedly asking until they uncovered that Chapter of her past with Cui Zhenyan.

They were clever, figuring everything out and temporarily deceiving Niu Xiaoqin, having her stay in a guesthouse, always ready to be used as a pawn.
