The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

"Lin Miaomiao? A fox spirit?"

"So she's the guild leader of the Heavenly Fox Guild..."

"My neighbor's son was scammed out of a credit loan by her, and now we have no idea where he is!"

"This kind of scum should have been arrested long ago! He wouldn't be enough even if he died ten thousand times!"

"The authorities are too lenient. If it were me, I wouldn't bother arguing with them; I'd just pull out a gun and shoot!"

"My God, I can't believe I live in the same neighborhood as this monster!"

Those who feared their property prices would be affected immediately jumped out to refute the rumors:

"Don't talk nonsense. She's not from our neighborhood. She only fled here to escape the authorities. Can't you see how many officers are here to arrest her?"

"Yes, yes, I saw her crawl in through the dog hole in our neighborhood."

Lin Miaomiao: "???"

"You're the dog!"

The skeptical looks that had just been directed at the authorities now turned into contempt and hatred toward Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao's expression remained unchanged; she merely glanced coldly around.

His gaze was icy, like that of a venomous snake.

It instantly silenced everyone.

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao sneered: "A bunch of idiots! If it weren't for the authorities protecting you, you would all be dead long ago!"

Zhou Yan's face immediately froze: "Take him away!"

Lin Miaomiao was ruthlessly shoved into the back seat of a black armored vehicle by the soldiers.

"Bang!"

The heavy car door closed, shutting out all the curses and noise from outside.

Inside the car, there was a deathly silence.

Lin Miaomiao didn't speak, but just slumped in her seat, seemingly lost in thought.

But then his eyes lit up.

next second.

She was like a balloon that had been emptied of all air, deflated and powerless.

Two streams of hot tears finally slid down her empty eye sockets.

Lin Miaomiao raised her head and looked at Zhou Yan in front of her with an extremely pitiful and humble posture. Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with the helplessness of a mother.

"No...please, you can't arrest me..."

"I have another daughter. She's waiting for me to come home and cook for her... She's so young. A child can't be without a mother. She really can't be without me..."

Zhou Jian simply drove her around coldly.

Perhaps knowing this trick wouldn't work, Lin Miaomiao snorted coldly and tentatively struggled a little.

She tried to break free from the official soldiers sitting on either side of her, but she couldn't break free even a little.

Lin Miaomiao immediately resorted to shamelessness, leaning against one of them.

"What are you doing!"

"Madam, please correct your attitude!"

Upon seeing this, the official soldier pushed him away.

"Tch, loading cargo, you clearly just want to touch it." Lin Miaomiao scoffed lightly, using the momentum to lean against the back.

The official soldier driving glanced dramatically in the rearview mirror at the woman in the back seat who had been sobbing one second and then looking like a rogue the next.

Then, meeting Zhou Yan's gaze, she said in a very low voice, "Captain Zhou, do you think this woman... can change her expression?"

Zhou Yan gave him an annoyed look: "Just drive your car properly."

"Yes, Captain!" the young soldier replied, but couldn't help muttering to himself, "But I've really seen something new today."

"With acting skills like that, why bother with personal loans? She could just become a superstar!"

Zhou Yan tugged at the collar of his uniform and exhaled a breath of stale air: "You really want to know?"

"Uh-huh."

"You'll understand when you get married."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the soldier shrank his neck as if he had heard something terrifying, and quickly shook his head.

"Let's not go for it. I'm already afraid of marriage now, Captain Zhou, please don't curse me."

"And I suddenly feel that being single is pretty good, and I still have you single brothers, right? Suddenly I feel that if we stay single for the rest of our lives, it might not be so bad."

"roll!"

A brief, mocking laugh eased the tense atmosphere in the car slightly.

Zhou Yan then turned to Lin Miaomiao and said casually, "What's the deal with that credit loan you're involved in? Could you tell me more about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Miaomiao looked up and gave Zhou Yan a half-smile.

Suddenly, he chuckled and said, "I've really seen something like this in real life. Just like in the movies."

Zhou Yan: "..."

With their little scheme exposed, the atmosphere inside the car became heavy again, and everyone shut their mouths.

......

The armored vehicle stopped in front of a heavily guarded gray building.

This is a temporary interrogation and detention center, specifically for handling cases involving individuals with supernatural abilities.

"Bang!"

The car door opened again, and Lin Miaomiao was carried out by two soldiers, one on each side.

The blinding sunlight made her squint instinctively, and when she saw the figure standing on the steps not far away, she froze.

It was a girl wearing a white dress, about eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin and delicate features, like a porcelain doll.

It was her daughter, Xiaorou.

Lin Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she glared hatefully at Zhou Yan beside her.

This group of people even brought his daughter along!

However, before she could even speak, the girl's cold and sharp question pierced her.

"What exactly did you do?!"

"Why am I being dragged into this mess too, and ended up here!"

"If you really do something wrong, you must confess honestly later. I'm still so young, so please don't drag me into this."

There was no concern, no worry, only blame.

At that moment, Lin Miaomiao felt that even breathing was difficult.

The daughter she cherished and wanted to protect at all costs has now become the sharpest knife.

Time and again, it pierced straight into her heart.

Lin Miaomiao suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous, and looked straight ahead, refusing to look at her.

Seeing that Lin Miaomiao ignored her, Xiao Rou became agitated and rushed down the steps, her pretty face filled with resentment that was beyond her years.

Don't look at me like that!

"What kind of mother are you! You've never cared about me, all you know is to give me endless money."

"But have you considered my feelings? Do you really know what I want?"

"Money, Yuanjing, ptooey! I don't care about any of that!"

Xiao Rou became increasingly angry as she spoke. If someone hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have already rushed towards Lin Miaomiao.

Even so, she had no intention of letting Lin Miaomiao go.

"You sent me to live with other families since I was little. Everyone else has parents, but I don't!"

"Do you know how much damage this will do to my young heart?!"

"You knew all of this?!"

One of the soldiers escorting Lin Miaomiao nearly dropped his jaw.

This is fucking...

He recalled the information he had casually checked in the system earlier: the seemingly innocent little girl in front of him had a terrifyingly large account balance.

On her most extravagant day on record, the amount she spent on various luxury goods and props was enough to equal the entire salary that an ordinary official soldier like him could earn in ten years of hard work.

Is it wrong to give her an endless supply of Yuanjing?

What kind of twisted logic is this?

Thinking of this, the soldier felt a little sorry for Lin Miaomiao.

The whole world can count on Lin Miaomiao, but not her youngest daughter.

She enjoyed the affluent life Lin Miaomiao provided for her, but then smashed the bowl after finishing her meal.

This isn't just being ungrateful; this is a beast who treats people's hearts like garbage and tramples on them!

Hearing her daughter's righteous accusations, Lin Miaomiao's usually expressionless face finally showed a slight change.

She was utterly disappointed, too lazy to even glance at her daughter, and simply said indifferently, "Fine, if that's how it is, then you'll pretend I'm not your mother? And I'll pretend I never gave birth to you!"

The reluctance in Lin Miaomiao's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a gaze as cold as if it had been poisoned: "From this day forward, our mother-daughter relationship ends here."

"I don't need you to support me in my old age anymore. Whether you live or die is none of my business!"

These words seemed to completely ignite Xiaorou.

Her beautiful face was contorted with extreme anger, and she completely broke down, screaming as she lunged towards Lin Miaomiao.

"You think you can dump Catwalk? Lin Miaomiao, you're dreaming!"

"You've abandoned me in the first half of my life, and I'll make you pay for it with your whole life!"

"This is all you owe me!"

"Did you hear that?!"

The piercing roar left several official soldiers nearby, who were used to life, death, and betrayal, speechless with astonishment at this unexpected turn of events.

They truly are mother and daughter.

Each one is more outrageous and ruthless than the last.
