"Definitely." Tang Mingli said firmly, as if wanting to prove something, or perhaps... fearing something.
"From a young age, Xiao Yue used to be somewhat timid, but later on, she grew stronger and tougher than some boys."
Tang Mingli suddenly recalled the first days of his entrepreneurship, and said, "You know? At the beginning, my niece and I shared a steamed bun each, had no money for a hostel, and we slept beside the train station—just laid down a bedsheet, hard as a rock. I let her sleep inside, and I kept watch outside, but she never complained."
"When we went to the market to stock up, bags and bags of clothes, if I could no longer carry them, it was Xiao Yue who shouldered them. Thin and small as she was, sometimes, I too felt the bitterness and exhaustion." Tang Mingli remembered the early days, the sleepless nights, and carrying loads of clothes; each bag was not particularly heavy, but they were cumbersome and tiring to carry.
Even for him, a grown man, sometimes he was so out of breath, but Xiao Yue, she never complained, always encouraging him with a smile. He often thought if it hadn’t been for Xiao Yue, could he have built such a large business now?
"Xiao Yue is a clever and strong girl, she will be blessed by heaven and lead a safe and happy life," Wei Jiajia said sincerely. She was very grateful to Tang Yue; if it wasn’t for Tang Yue encouraging Tang Mingli to sell clothes, repeatedly accompanying him to stock up, perhaps the fate between her and Tang Mingli would not have started.
Tang Mingli and Wei Jiajia cuddled together, Tang Mingli talked about many things to distract Wei Jiajia, fearing that she would feel frightened by the day’s events, until Wei Jiajia fell asleep, but Tang Mingli had no desire to sleep at all.
Tang Mingli kept asking the nurses if there were any calls for him.

"Tell me, who exactly is behind this?" Bai Qing, knowing Mo Siyu had taken Xiao Yue to safety, felt relieved. Bai Qing and Brother Chong had come to a house where the three men were separately bound in a room. Bai Qing, holding a small knife, was questioning Xiao Liu.
The wound on Xiao Liu’s neck was caused by Xiao Yue, indicating that Xiao Liu had intended to harm her.
Bai Qing’s eyes were icy as she gently wiped the dagger. Xiao Liu, seeing the dagger, couldn’t help but swallow hard; he had been scared of this woman even back in the suite. Now seeing her with the dagger, his heart involuntarily panicked and he said, "I don’t..." know.
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Qing’s dagger had sliced Xiao Liu’s stomach, and blood gushed out, accompanied by intense pain, causing tears to flow from Xiao Liu’s eyes. Fear of Bai Qing killing him overwhelmed him, where would he dare hold back now?
"I’ll speak, I’ll speak," Xiao Liu said, his teeth chattering in pain—completely forgetting that Bai Qing normally struck where it was painful yet not life-threatening.
However, Xiao Liu was almost scared to death by Bai Qing; how could he think through this thoroughly?
Half an hour later, Bai Qing, from the confessions of these three people, sifted through and finally traced Meng Yanzhi’s biological parents, Meng Jian and Zhang Hua, as those responsible.
Meng Jian and Zhang Hua, clearly used to such dealings, had taken several detours before finally connecting with Xiao Liu and the other two.
"Brother Chong, can we infiltrate them?" Bai Qing asked.
Brother Chong said, "Bai Qing, is this a pseudonym?"
"My real name," Bai Qing replied without hesitation, Chi Lian was an alias, just like Feng Zhi.
