"Key?"

"They say the key can open a safe, and it may contain a huge fortune." Lin Yishan said, "But my dad thinks it’s Ruan Ruzhen’s illicit funds."

"Illicit funds, why call it illicit funds?"

Lin Yishan’s fingers moved down Wa Zicong’s shoulder as she murmured, "You’re asking why it’s illicit funds? You don’t know while investigating the Zhang Family?"

Wa Zicong squinted his eyes: "You mean the Zhang Family also has such a key?"

"Not just the Zhang Family, the Zhong Family as well. Surprised? No need to be surprised. Zhang Family and Zhong Family get along so well. How could the Zhong Family not know what kind of people the Zhang Family are? Both families are birds of a feather." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wa Zicong noted the sharper tone against the Zhong Family in her words and immediately understood: "Even now, you’re still holding onto what happened with Miss Zhong."

That time, during a Xiao Family’s banquet, Lin Yishan was kicked out by the Xiao matriarch, witnessed by Zhong Qiaohui, who mocked them with harsh words. Lin Yishan definitely kept this in her mind.

This Zhong Qiaohui, who flaunts her righteousness, but her family is much the same, with ancestors having done countless shady deeds.

Lin Yishan laughed coldly.

Isabel heard the laugh and felt scared, hiding behind "Monk Two."

"Monk Two" kindly asked her, "Beibei, do you still want to eat?"

"I ate, didn’t you have nothing to eat?" Isabel said.

"No problem, I’m a man, I can withstand hunger." "Monk Two" said, offering her the plate with the other half of the fried egg.

Lin Yishan watched the two kids and exclaimed, "Did his mom teach him? My little uncle has never been so kind-hearted."

Wa Zicong pushed her hand away and said, "Weren’t you going to buy them something?"

"Are you really planning to leave them here?" Lin Yishan asked worriedly, "Their parents must have reported this to the police; won’t the police find this place?"

"I don’t think so."

"What do you mean?"

"When I drove them away, I saw some men in black searching along the road. That little girl might be the daughter of a gang leader."

The two kids and Lin Yishan were startled by his words.

"Oh!" Lin Yishan gasped, pointing at Isabel: "You’re saying this tiny tot is a gang leader’s daughter?"

"She should be." Wa Zicong said calmly.

Isabel swallowed hard. She understood what they were saying about her being the child of a villain. Hence, her worry was how Xiaobai would perceive her after knowing this.

With small eyes, she glimpsed at Xiaobai, who seemed to have heard nothing.

For a child as smart as "Monk Two," it was impossible to be unaware; he had guessed it long before. Yet, "Monk Two" was exceptionally perceptive for his age. His parents often said a child’s birth is destined, not their fault. Being born into any family is beyond Isabel’s control. He understood it wasn’t Isabel’s fault.

But Lin Yishan had realized the issue’s greater gravity and severe nature, and she said to Wa Zicong, "Have you thought it through, if the gang finds this place—"

"Don’t worry, they won’t find this place."

"How do you know they won’t find it?" Lin Yishan suppressed a trembling scream in her throat, suddenly realized something, and her sharp gaze landed on his face. Unlike three years ago, she’s learned to be wiser now, refraining from blurting out her thoughts immediately. She’s figured this man does it just to somehow keep Gu Nuan’s son here, as a reason to meet Gu Nuan once.
