At that time, I clung to him, almost kneeling and begging him, tears welling up in my eyes, before finally persuading him to keep me by his side. But that was also because he pitied me, which is why...What he wants is for Xiao Yi to personally go and tell Lin Meng everything. According to Rong Sanbo's suggestion, there is room for maneuver in what happened back then, so Xiao Yi is the "stone from another mountain". When it comes to that past event, Rong Sanbo coming forward would be inappropriate; him coming forward would also be inappropriate. But Xiao Yi, as an unbiased party, coming forward is the easiest way to convince Lin Meng.

Although he didn't know the details of that year very well, he trusted Rong Sanbo, so he just did it. If this happened to someone else, they would definitely hesitate and be afraid. But not him. This is also why he became a strong person, because he has great courage and dares to go all out in situations full of uncertainties!

Because the danger remained, Lin Meng still needed escort when traveling. Under the protection of several experts, when Lin Meng came to find Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi told him about this.

Things from back then are clear to those who observe. Xiao Yi sorted everything out very clearly, and there was no concealment whatsoever. Since Lin Meng had already taken action, hiding it any further would be foolish.

"As for me, back then, I was wrong, Jian Cheng was wrong, Rong Sanbo was wrong, Rong Ling was wrong, and even your father was somewhat wrong. Jiang Po Lang's death was very complex, with many factors leading to the assassination that night, so Mengmeng, you can't simply blame Jiang Po Lang's death on any one person!"

I just said something reasonable so she wouldn't be so conflicted!

What Rong Ling said, Lin Meng was under a lot of pressure, he couldn't possibly not know that! He felt sorry for her, so did he not feel sorry for her!

Hmph!

Lin Meng was startled by these words, her heart churning with conflicting emotions. For a moment, she couldn't decide whether to feel relieved or continue to dwell on self-blame!

As Xiao Yi said, if Jiang Yancheng hadn't wanted to use him to eliminate the Silver Wolf Gang, he wouldn't have thought of ways to drive her out of the gang and then into Jiang Yancheng's hands. If Jiang Yancheng hadn't spread the word that she "leaked Silver Wolf Gang secrets," the Silver Wolf Gang wouldn't have targeted her or had murderous intentions towards her. Originally, if Xiao Yi hadn't sought out Rong Ling, Rong Ling wouldn't have been kind enough to come and save her, taking her away from the troubles of j city. She wouldn't have ended up in Kyoto, touching Rong San Bo's bottom line, making him want to kill her. (..tw no pop-up ads)Although, in the end, Rong San Bo was the one who orchestrated the murder, simply using this complex relationship to make the Silver Wolf Gang, who already had murderous intentions towards her, successfully take the bait and send people to kill her, can all the blame be placed on Rong San Bo!

What a complex situation!

Actually, she is the biggest culprit!

Without her, there wouldn't be any of this!

But who did she provoke, who did she offend, who did she harm!

She is also innocent!

Who else could this be blamed on!

So, after all that back and forth, things ended up right where they started.

Her face darkened, and she lowered her head, sighing deeply.

Xiao Yi reached out and grabbed her little hand.

"You silly girl, don't overthink it. Some things, once gone, are gone. Those who live should only look forward with more positivity and optimism. To punish yourself with the death of others is the most despicable thing!"

Lin Meng twitched the corners of her mouth and managed a strained smile. She had heard similar words many times, and she had comforted herself countless times as well. Originally, her heart was calm like still water, but now it was stirred up by this sudden interruption.

"Don't worry, I've got this."

Lifting her head, she smiled softly at Xiao Yi, sincerely thanking him.

"A-Yi, thank you for telling me all of this. And thank you for helping me investigate what happened back then all these days."

Xiao Yi felt a pang of emptiness hearing this. Especially, Lin Meng's gaze was so clear and pure, he felt somewhat ashamed in front of her.

What a wonderful woman!

Sighing inwardly, he reached out and touched her head, using the gesture to partially shield her from his gaze.

If anyone had said that Xiao Yi would be unable to face someone because he felt like he was lying, he himself wouldn't have believed it. But here he is now.

"I just hope you're doing well."

In a hushed tone, he gently stroked her head. It was his explanation for his previous actions, a veil for yet another lie he told himself, and a hope for her future.

She smiled softly, and the sadness in her eyes seemed to lessen.

After returning home, she endured it and didn't say anything. Rong Ling had always been more patient than anyone else, and he was used to being deep. Seeing Lin Meng's expression, he knew that Xiao Yi must have told everything, because he was too familiar with Lin Meng, familiar to the point where her subtle movements could betray her true feelings. But he didn't ask anything. He would endure until Lin Meng told him herself!

Lin Meng was a little absent-minded that night. By the time the two little ones had finished their homework and came to pull her into their game with glee, her mind wasn't quite focused. This made the two little ones pout slightly.

"Mommy, Mommy, what's wrong!" Xiao Haohuo asked in a milky voice, grabbing his arm and resisting. Little Youyou also, because of this, had a somewhat subdued happy expression.

She suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately came to her senses. Seeing the two little ones like this, she couldn't help but feel guilty. She quietly glanced at Rong Ling who was four meters away. Seeing that he wasn't looking this way, she ordered herself to properly accompany the two little ones. Little did she know, Rong Ling was still pretending over there.

At night, nestled in his arms, she hesitated, wanting to say something several times, but as the words reached her lips, she couldn't utter them. Therefore, she felt restless in his embrace. He held her waist and waited for a long time before finally speaking.

"Something on your mind!"

He hit the nail on the head.

She whispered back to him, "No."

She shrank back and burrowed into his arms.

He winked and teased her, "Are you planning to keep this a secret from me again!"

She didn't say a word.

He continued, "Xiao Quai, don't you know you can't hide things!"

The tone was soft, with a hint of indulgence, revealing that I actually knew, but since you didn't say it, I wouldn't ask—a pettiness born from love.

He didn't press further, but simply raised his hand and gently patted her back, adopting the posture of someone trying to lull her to sleep.

She pursed her lips, feeling a blush creeping up her cheeks. Once he acted like this towards her, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, guilty even, as if she were a sinner seeking redemption in his gaze. After a while of being patted by him, she couldn't contain herself any longer and finally spoke.

"Róng Líng!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This soft tone, it makes Rongling want to laugh.

This little woman!

I'm all ears!

He propped himself up with his hands, leaning forward, and stared at her intently, showing his full support.

She reclined slightly, facing him with eyes that seemed to hold the entirety of the universe. Slowly, she poured her heart out, telling him everything. This man had always been a pillar of strength and resilience in her life, her biggest protector and confidante. After weathering so many storms together, she felt completely comfortable sharing anything with him. There was an unspoken trust, a belief that he had the power to solve any problem.

After hearing this, he let out a low chuckle. His rich laughter filled both her ears. Her originally heavy heart suddenly felt lightened.

Because he was happy and pleased, he was silly, wasn't he!

"I'm so happy, Xiao Guai!"

Reaching out, he gently caressed her brow and eyes, making an unwavering promise.

No matter what, for the Jiang family, I still say the same thing, as long as they don't cross my last line, I can bear him, let him be, avoid him, and leave him be. For Uncle Three, I will still do my best to help him.

"Rong Ling --"

Lin Meng was moved and hugged Rong Ling tightly. Her head rubbed against his chest repeatedly, expressing her boundless joy.

This man, she was right about him, he's the best, the absolute best...

He certainly wouldn't embarrass her!

"Rong Ling, you said, in the end, what will happen!"

Even though she tried to avoid talking about Rong Sanbo's affairs, she felt that something was amiss. The Liu family came in a menacing way, what would Rong Ling do! That Kyoto Rong family, with its hundreds of years of reputation and accumulation, would it really be so fragile and vulnerable, truly defeated! Why did she have a feeling deep down that it was a battle between dragons and tigers, and in the end, both sides would perish! She wasn't worried about the Rong family or the Liu family, but the Jiang family, the Jiang family that belonged to Jiang Po浪, how could she stand idly by and watch it fall!

She gazed at Rong Ling with longing.

Róng Líng shook her head.

The situation is so confusing that even with his many experiences, he can't say for sure what the outcome will be!

"Take one step at a time, let's see what happens first!"

There are some things he can't tell her.

Lin Meng frowned, disliking this uncertainty. But there was one thing Rong Ling had made perfectly clear.

"Rong Qi-keng, you have to drag him down, that's the current goal!"

But, how to drag!

It seems his braids have already been pulled out. He is so incompetent and committed such a grave crime, yet he was still protected by Rong Feiwu and Du Caiyi. How can we deal with him again! What kind of trick could be effective in the short term!

Lin dreamed, feeling it was difficult!

Perhaps it was just her luck, she got exactly what she thought about. A mysterious email arrived in her inbox, and she was drawn in by the subject line.

Some confidential information about He Ya, please check!

She immediately opened the email.

The sender's email was short, basically saying that they thought Lin Meng would be interested in this, so they sent it all to her. He didn't ask for money; the only requirement for sending these things was that she do everything in her power to torment He Ya.

At the very end of the letter, it was written: ---

“Please rest assured, I guarantee that everything I've provided is 100% true. If you're still not convinced, you can even verify it by following my investigation lead. I was also a victim under He Ya before, and had a similar experience to yours. So, I think we should have the same feelings!”

Victim! Similar experience!

She's in the mood, isn't she!

She downloaded a large compressed package to her computer, not caring whether it was a malicious virus or not. She directly uncompressed and opened it, then her beautiful eyes quickly swept over the contents. A short while later, the contents inside instantly made her eyes light up!

She thought, the opportunity has come!ied. She feared there might be something she didn't know, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She would surprise them both by going straight to Rong Ling and meeting her grandson!Anyway...
