Beside Gong Luo, Gong Yue crouched and let out heartbreaking wails.

Meanwhile, Lin Yin clutched Gong Han—who had nearly been slain by Huo Ge—in stunned disbelief.

Unless she was mistaken, Huo Ge's true target had been Gong Han all along.

Gong Han had deftly yanked Yue Chi in front of her, causing every bullet to strike Yue Chi instead.

What reason did Huo Ge have for targeting Gong Han? And it appeared Gong Han had anticipated this danger well in advance?

Did Gong Han shove Yue Chi forward out of sheer fear, acting as her human shield? Or did deeper motives lurk beneath?

Doubts swirled even more fiercely in Lin Yin's mind.

Unhappy, Huo Ge arched his brows and prepared to depart with his crew, realizing the chance had slipped away.

Blocking Huo Ge's path, Lin Yin spoke in an icy tone, “Huo Ge, you fired a gun and hurt someone. You'll need to stick around for the police to take your statement.”

Huo Ge shrugged innocently, hands out. “I'm merely an onlooker. I didn't pull the trigger. That was them.”

Just like that, Huo Ge betrayed his own subordinates.

Lin Yin couldn't help but acknowledge Huo Ge's sly nature, especially since his companions stayed silent without protest.

Once police and ambulances arrived on scene, Gong Yue remained the sole Gong family member present.

Paramedics rushed Yue Chi to the hospital for urgent care.

All involved got hauled to the police station for statements.

Right as he exited the station, Sun Biao—who'd gone to rescue Gong Ze—came back without success.

Discovering Gong Ze wasn't abducted but under heavy guard, Lin Yin turned her gaze to the unscathed Gong Han.

Gong Han appeared oblivious to Lin Yin's scrutinizing stare. She stepped nearer with a smile. “Thank you so much, Miss Lin Yin.”

Approaching Gong Han in turn, Lin Yin offered a faint smile. “Sister Gong Han, you're too kind. As Gong Ze's sister, you're like my own sister. It was no trouble at all.”

Bidding Gong Han farewell, Lin Yin inquired of Lin Biao regarding Gong Ze's supposed kidnapping.

With a baffled look, Sun Biao explained, “It struck me as odd too. At first glance, with all those folks surrounding Gong Ze, I figured it was a snatch. But after watching closely, I saw Gong Ze roaming freely. So I played it safe, faking an assault on him. Those guards shielded Gong Ze completely. It wasn't a kidnapping—it screamed protection.”

Sun Biao paused thoughtfully before sharing his suspicion. “Miss Lin Yin, could it be Gong Han faced no real threat from Gong Luo? Might those siblings have schemed together, using Gong Luo to target the Yue family?”

Quickly, Sun Biao backtracked. “No, that doesn't add up. Gong Han's wed to Yue Han now, part of the Yue family herself. No bad blood there. If the Yues crumble, what does she gain? The Gongs were never warm to her anyway.”

Lin Yin cared little for Gong Han's schemes. Her focus lay on whether Gong Han leaked that video exposing Yue Chi's wickedness.

In essence, Gong Han had sabotaged her ties with the Yue family.

Lin Yin hadn't anticipated Gong Han smuggling Yue Han abroad—to Country D, no less.

As a sudden realization hit, Lin Yin dashed to the hospital with her team. Sure enough, the barely saved but still comatose Yue Chi had vanished.

Unclear on Gong Han's true intent, Lin Yin feared she might whisk the Yue brothers to safety—something Lin Yin refused to permit.

Yet, bursting from the room, she spotted Gong Han approaching.

Gong Han met Lin Yin's eyes steadily. “I knew you wouldn't be fooled. Let's step inside and talk. Rest assured, I'm not rescuing those Yue brothers.”

Inside the ward, Lin Yin cut straight to it. “Did you create that Yue Chi video back then? Did you spark the feud between me and the Yue family into a full blaze?”

Gong Han admitted openly with a nod. “Yes, that was me! But even without my hand, you wouldn't spare Yue Chi, would you? You'd clash with the Yues regardless. I merely sped up the inevitable rift between you two.”

Lin Yin offered no denial. It rang true.

Smiling, Gong Han pressed on. “To be straightforward, I harbor a grudge against the Yue family. Yue Chi once assaulted my students. This is my vengeance, so relax—I didn't move those brothers to protect them.”

“Scum like them deserve humiliation in return. Justice demands it. That's why I staged Yue Han's 'death' and shipped him to Country D's red-light district, right alongside the resilient Yue Chi.”

Gong Han's words matched Lin Yin's intel perfectly.

Still, Lin Yin sought confirmation on one point. “Did you orchestrate Yue Han's cliff plunge?”

Gong Han nodded again. “Yes! My doing.”

A smile played on Lin Yin's lips. “So, is the one backing you from the shadows the Huo family or the Fu family? Why did Huo Ge seek to kill you?”

Gong Han stared at Lin Yin in stunned silence. She hadn't anticipated that Lin Yin already knew everything.
