When Sun’s mother received the call, Sun Ling had already gone to the hospital.
Due to overwhelming nervousness, she had completely forgotten that she had been drugged, dragged, forcefully thrown into a sedan, and had sustained many injuries along the way. The doctors determined she had hit rocks while being dragged, resulting in broken bones in her feet.
Seeing Sun Ling’s condition swelled Sun’s mother’s eyes with tears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it costs me my life, I will find you the best lawyer and sue the Qiu Family into bankruptcy."
"Mom, Shuangshi has gathered the best lawyers in the country, so you don’t need to worry. The boos will stand up for me."
After hearing this, Sun’s mother, remembering she had once schemed behind others’ back, felt immense guilt.
"When you were in trouble, I called your father..." She paused halfway, then burst into tears and cursed, "That heartless bastard."
"Mom, never mind... I never had any expectations."
"If such a creature could father a child, then surely heaven must be blind," Sun’s mother sobbed, covering her face, "Such trash will surely face retribution, but as for the Qiu Family..."
"The boss will take revenge for me."
Listening to Sun Ling constantly mentioning Shi Lan, Sun’s mother realized she owed Shi Lan an apology. After comforting Sun Ling, she stepped outside the hospital room and said to Shi Lan, "Miss Shi, I owe you an apology, and I thank you for what you’ve done for Xiaoling. I really feel ashamed as a mother."
"I did these things simply because I consider Sun Ling a friend," replied Shi Lan, "As for the past, I have let it go."
While they were talking, Xun Yinghua put down his phone, came over to Shi Lan, and said, "Madam, that boy has spilled everything. The mastermind really is Qiu Tianyi. The police are already on their way to arrest him."
At that moment, the boss spoke on behalf of the young lady, "Send the lawyers tonight. Don’t give the Qiu Family any chance. From start to finish, convey one message to the Qiu Family—there will be no settlement, even if it leads to our death."
"Understood," Xun Yinghua said.
Once everything was arranged, Shi Lan asked Huo Zhao to stay temporarily in case the Qiu Family tried to cause trouble. Then, remembering the boss had an important meeting to attend the next day, she told Sun’s mother they had to leave.
Sun’s mother found it hard to believe that someone only twenty-two or twenty-three years old could arrange things so systematically and comprehensively.
"Xiaoling is in your hands now, hurry back and get some rest," Sun’s mother said.
"The Qiu Family will definitely contact you to beg for mercy, and when that time comes..."
"We will never settle!" Sun’s mother said coldly.
Shi Lan nodded, and she returned with the boss to Jinlan No.1 Courtyard, where the Qiu Family was also bustling with activity at that time.
Qiu Tianyi had wanted someone to severely beat Sun Ling, but unexpectedly, the hired thugs had accidentally committed a kidnapping, and even more unexpectedly, they were caught red-handed by the police.
The thugs, who were merely paid to do a job, were initially uncooperative during the interrogation. But as the evidence was incontrovertible, they couldn’t deny it for long before they were tricked by the police into divulging critical information, implicating Qiu Tianyi.
When the police came to arrest Qiu Tianyi in the middle of the night, he was still in the living room with Mrs. Qiu applying a facial mask. He even asked Mrs. Qiu to find him the best lawyer when taken away.
But what use was that?
The best lawyers were all with Shuangshi, and they had already been deployed.
Mrs. Qiu was terribly scared and unsure how her son had gotten himself into trouble. After Qiu Tianyi was taken away, she immediately changed and, along with her husband, headed for the police station.
