" 。Legal then didn't press further, seeming to trust her sufficiently. After all, she was the acquisition lawyer hired by Whale Finance. If there were any issues, it wouldn't be for Legal to say much...After that, Yi Muyang didn't reply to her messages anymore. Concerned about bothering him with work, she stopped sending messages and besides, there was no need to drag him into the drama between her, Wen Jian, and Zhuo Yu'an.

The children saw that she had finished eating and was staring at her phone, so they all came over and asked her to play games with them.

After playing for a little while, she held a young child in her arms and apologized with guilt.

“Sorry, Mom has to go on a business trip in a while. You guys have to listen to Auntie Liu at home.”

A thousand words cannot express the bitterness in my heart right now. The hardships I endured raising them alone before pale in comparison to the pain I feel now.

As soon as Shu Xiaohua heard that her mother was going on a business trip again, her mouth turned down, and big tears rolled down her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around her mother's neck.

"Mommy, don't go on business trips, don't go to make money, I won't buy candy anymore."

Mom only comes back to stay with her for a few days before she has to leave again. She is so reluctant to see her go, and wishes her mother wouldn't have to work anymore. If Mom didn't make money, she could stay with them all the time.

Shu Xiaonian was introverted, her eyes red but she didn't speak. She knew she was a man and shouldn't cry.

Shu Tinglan hugged them tightly, her heart breaking into pieces. She truly wished she could give up everything and simply stay with them as they grew up. But could she escape Would true peace come from running away Zhuo Yu'an would still find her, and Wen Jian would pressure her just the same, leaving her with no way out.

If the children's identities were exposed, Cheng Zhimin would inevitably come after them.

More than three years away from Senzhou, I still can't escape.

Aunt Liu saw her emotional instability on this business trip and comforted her.

“Don't worry, I'll take care of the kids. Ah Yang will be back in a couple of days. Besides, there's also Mrs. Fu and Lawyer Sun here, don't fret.”

Shu Tinglan nodded, not daring to cry in front of the children. She got up and returned to her room to pack her luggage. Shu Xiaohua was held by Auntie Liu and cried sadly, unwilling for her mother to go on a business trip. Shu Xiaonian silently followed behind her, helping her pack her luggage.

The little boy, remarkably mature for his age, said to his mother, "Mom, don't worry, I'll take good care of my sister."

Shu Tinglan, who had been holding back tears all along, couldn't control them anymore. She hugged Shu Xiaonian and was heartbroken.

"Mommy, don't cry!" Shu Xiaonian tried to comfort her mother the way their mother comforted them, gently patting her back.

"Mommy, don't cry." Shu Tinglan wiped away her tears and packed up her belongings before heading out the door.

On her way to the airport, she called Mr. Sun and asked...

"Can a lawyer have personal bias"

Mr. Sun was about to fall asleep when he heard a question coming from the phone and answered it one by one.

"A lawyer is also a human being, and humans have their own biases."

She said again, "You once told me to put aside personal judgments and do everything I could to win the case for the client. Does that mean I have to do everything"

"In principle, yes, but you should know that even if both sides' lawyers do their utmost, there will inevitably be a winning side and a losing side, isn't that right"

Mr. Sun didn't know what she suddenly meant by calling, but he thought she might be under pressure because of a case and called to seek comfort.

"Mr. Sun, I want to lose this case." To give it my all and lose once, Wen Jian shouldn't threaten her with the child.

Mr. Sun was the one who introduced her to her litigation lawyer. If she did something that went against professional ethics and disappointed him, he hoped he could understand.

After arriving at the airport, Wen Jian saw her and smiled, a smile that radiated confidence.

"Tinglan, I knew you'd come. It's a pleasure to work with you!" She extended her right hand towards Shu Tinglan.

"It was a pleasure to work with you." Shu Tinglan also extended her hand for a brief shake.

Before getting on the machine, she sent a message to Yi Mu Yang.

“I'm on a business trip to Senzhou. Let me know when you're back in the city.”

After waiting for ten minutes, Yi Muyang didn't reply, so she turned off her phone.

Yi Muyang and Ding Zhi were ambushing in the deep mountains on the border of Yunnan. Ding Zhi, with eyes as dark and brooding as a falcon, gestured for Yi Muyang to switch off his phone, making sure there was not even a glimmer of light or sound to alert their target.

They have been here for over a week. In the early stage, according to the clues provided by Dingzhi's informant, they determined the approximate location of Scarface, the leader of the poaching gang, and tracked him to this mountain. They searched continuously for a week and only found Scarface's trace this afternoon.

Yi Muyang and Ding Zhi had a fierce argument in the afternoon. Yi Muyang's intention was to seek protection from the local police and work together to deal with Scar Boss, which was the most rational approach.

But Dante was determined to go it alone, refusing any help from the police. He believed that their involvement would only scare away his quarry and was unnecessary.

The two of them had a fight over this. Ding Zhi was a complete desperado, he stared at Yi Muyang and assured him...

“No matter what, I will protect your safety, with my life.”

Yi Muyang: "Why are you staring at me Why is it me"

"Because you have blood in you."

"Damn it! Yi Muyang's temper flared. He might have guts, but he also fears death. Especially now with Tinglan and the two kids, he cherishes his life even more."

However, he still followed Dingzhi and snuck into this deep mountain forest in the evening to wait for an opportunity.

He ignored Dingzhi's words, worried that Tinglan wouldn't be able to find him. But after midnight, the phone's screen was particularly bright and he was afraid that a sudden noise would startle the other person, so he turned off his phone and put it in his pocket, zipping it up.

Dingzhi and he both had long-term wilderness survival experience, so at this time, lying on the ground, neither of them was afraid, they focused all their attention waiting for Scar's appearance.

But it might have been a coincidence, or their information was wrong, the whole night passed and Scar didn't show up.

Dingzhi didn't inform the police, he had his own plan. Scarface hasn't been involved in poaching for a few years now, he's changed careers. As for what line of work he's gone into, he hasn't told Yimu Yang yet.

Because the timing is not right.

He thought this night watch failure would give Yimu Yang another excuse to go back to the city, but when they reached the guesthouse at the foot of the mountain, he was surprisingly calm. He spent a few minutes sending messages on his phone before calmly asking him...

"What's the next step Are you sure that Scarface is here" Yi Muyang had wilderness survival experience and was physically fit, but he had never hunted poachers before. He wasn't good at it, nor did he have a network of contacts like this.

"Here it is." Ding Zhi confirmed.

"Hey, what's your real job" Yi Muyang wasn't clueless; he had simply trusted Lao Ding too much before, never doubting his words. Now that he thought about it, this supposed cousin probably lied to Lao Ding as well.

"My true identity is unimportant. What matters is that we share common goals and enemies."

Ah, Ding Zhi is best at using a feather-light touch to deflect the weight of a thousand pounds, concealing crucial information. Yi Mu Yang no longer pressed further. This was their rule—in the world of Jianghu, everyone has their own destiny. As long as they can work together to achieve their common goal, they needn't dwell on the past or worry about the future. Once the goal is accomplished, they will simply forget each other in the vastness of the Jianghu.

"Why don't you leave" Ding Zhi was a little curious about his calmness.

"Since you're here already, how can you leave empty-handed"ay we should be responsible for the trouble based on who started it Those workers were sent by Gu Ruandong and Xu Ze Fang. They already caused a stir once, so they can't cause much of a commotion now....
