That’s quite a thick stack of money. Enough to cover several years of wages. Wang Rui felt a sharp pain in his heart, deliberated for a while, then made up his mind.

"Ladies, if I really spill the beans today, please help cover for me. I’m truly left with no choice."

"Alright, if you give us convenience, we’ll reciprocate," Lin Wan responded casually.

Seeing the assurance, Wang Rui finally relaxed, took a sip of water, and suppressed his desires as he said, "You really can’t blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame your Lin Family for being too dazzling; easy to incite resentment. I was only caught because of the small mistakes I made at work and forced to comply with his demand to create trouble for your Lin Family. He just wants to suppress your family’s prestige due to Lin Anliang and Lin Yinghui’s outstanding capabilities. Originally, he planned to target Lin Anliang first, but since Lin Anliang and his wife work in the same unit, it was difficult to carry out. So, he targeted Lin Yinghui first. I was caught taking bribes, so I helped them with their deeds. Honestly, I’m helpless. I’m already pregnant; the child is my boyfriend’s, and he knows about it. That night, my boyfriend was also there; he helped arrange for a room near Lin Yinghui’s. I spent the whole night in another room with my boyfriend, only entering just before dawn, creating a fake scenario to deceive Lin Yinghui into believing it was real. The person on the other side said that it didn’t matter how I did it, as long as I could ruin Lin Yinghui’s reputation. They don’t care about the details. Considering how wealthy Lin Yinghui’s family is, I thought to extort some money from him. If I continue like this, I won’t be able to stay in Z City. My boyfriend and I thought of taking some money for our future plans. I came to your house yesterday to make a scene as per his demand. I didn’t want to. Truly, I didn’t intend to make too much noise and let my relatives and friends know. I wouldn’t be able to face them in my lifetime."

"Who is he?" Lin Wan asked.

But Wang Rui hesitated, clearly unwilling to speak, causing Mu Qing to start fumbling in her purse. Wang Rui quickly exclaimed and stood up to press down her hand, "No, no, I’ll talk, I’ll talk. We agreed; if I do speak, you won’t reveal it was me who disclosed it."

"Of course, didn’t we just agree? We will keep our promises," Lin Wan replied.

"It’s the Wang Family up top; they’re the ones orchestrating it."

"Who’s specifically involved? The Wang Family can’t all be against us, right?" Lin Wan questioned.

"It’s someone from their higher-ups. Whoever is the top in the Wang Family right now is the one. I can’t speak too clearly; if I really tell, once he knows, I definitely won’t have peace."

Lin Wan sneered quietly to herself, offending us won’t bring you peace either.

"Fleeced so much money from us, must be happy?" Mu Qing, having gotten her desired answer, pushed the bag directly in front of her, even putting the earlier stack of money into it.

Wang Rui’s joy was boundless, chuckling twice, "Yes, yes, I’m not having it easy either. You can’t blame me, of course, since I’ve taken your money, I certainly won’t trouble Lin Yinghui anymore. Rest assured. Well... I’ll take my leave then."

"Mind your step, be careful not to trip. Your boyfriend might just take the money and ditch you," Lin Wan deliberately "reminded" her from behind.

Wang Rui is clever; she won’t give all the money to her boyfriend. Let them fight amongst themselves later.

After Wang Rui left, Lin Wan quickly turned off the recording device, preparing to let Mom and Dad listen when she returns. There’s more to this than just a simple romantic encounter; it turns out someone from inside was causing trouble.

"Saozi, now do you believe it? My brother wouldn’t do anything to betray you. But this matter has worsened; we need to quickly return and let Mom and Dad hear it. Tonight, we’ll head to Uncle’s place and tell Grandpa about this."

"Yes, we need to leave quickly. I have to find a lawyer fast; this money shouldn’t be given to that vile woman for nothing."

"Alright, let’s go."

Lin Wan and Mu Qing went back and quickly called Mom and Dad over. Lin Yinghui had been waiting at home for them; seeing them return, he hurriedly embraced Mu Qing. Since Xiao Wan was present, Lin Yinghui held back from being too affectionate, gently wrapping an arm around her, "How did it go?"

"Almost sorted, but we must keep an eye on her. I fear she might flee with the money." Mu Qing had completely given up hope; knowing her husband was victimized, she felt distressed.

"I’ve already arranged for someone to follow her, don’t worry. She won’t get away." Seeing his wife’s improved attitude, Lin Yinghui knew he was vindicated.

"Brother, why don’t you listen? This matter isn’t simple." Lin Wan spoke up after they finished their affectionate exchange.

"There’s more?" Lin Yinghui prompted, furrowing his brows.

"Yes, I suspect there’s more upheaval to come."

When Mom and Dad came back and heard the recording, they all seemed deeply troubled.

Of course, Dad knew about the Wang Family. In Z City, among several big families, they previously couldn’t compare to the Wang Family. However, after he returned, circumstances changed. Over the years, his son, daughter, and the younger generation from the Lin Family excelled, surpassing the Wang Family significantly.

It’s unsurprising they held such thoughts. They’ve certainly prospered so well in recent years that it’s incited envy.

"This recording is important; tonight we’ll visit your Uncle. He and your Uncle are colleagues; your Uncle will surely understand. Let’s figure out a solution."

"Yes, we’ll heed Dad’s advice."

That night, Lin Wan didn’t go, because there were still two kids at home. Moreover, for such matters, it’s better for the men to discuss, then just inform them afterward.
