The deranged Zhao Guangyun rushed out with a knife and slashed at the woman's arm, causing blood to gush out instantly.

"You bitch! You dare to play tricks on me? I'll kill you today! I'm not afraid of you alive, and I'm even less afraid of you dead!"

The man hurriedly shouted, "Brother-in-law, please wake up! This is my sister, your wife..."

Before Zhao Guangyun were the girls he had bullied, one after another daring to provoke him, enraging him so much that he brandished his knife and attacked anyone he saw...

The man lay in a pool of blood, suddenly remembering what the little girl he had met on the street had said.

"I advise you to have some decency, otherwise, you'll end up with your family ruined and destroyed!"

Unexpectedly, retribution came so quickly.

"Zhao Guangyun killed his parents and wife, and even murdered his children. Now he's been sent to a mental hospital!"

When Yang Xingzhi saw Ling Jiuyue, he couldn't wait to tell her about Zhao Guangyun. Remembering that this guy had once been Ling Qiu's homeroom teacher, he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

"Good heavens, how could someone like this be allowed to be a homeroom teacher? He broke the law and instead of facing trial, he's sent to the countryside to continue working. What terrible law have we country folk broken to be harmed by such trash!"

Ling Jiuyue deeply agreed with this. The Zhao family was not pitiful at all. If it weren't for their indulgence, Zhao Guangyun wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

In particular, Zhao Guangyun's wife was considered impure by him because she did not bleed on their wedding night.

In an effort to please Zhao Guangyun, she even went so far as to hunt down girls, using her position as a female teacher to bring children home and commit numerous heinous acts.

After the group finished discussing Zhao Guangyun's matter, Ling Jiuyue told Yang Xingzhi about Yao Jianwen's help in running business.

"We don't know many people in the city, but Aunt Jin and Uncle Yao have a wide network. They helped us find your clients this time. So, I'm having Brother Yao join you as a partner. He'll handle the contacts in the city, and you can handle the purchasing in the countryside. What do you think?"

Yang Xingzhi slapped his thigh: "Sis, you've hit the nail on the head! I was just looking for someone in the city to help me make the connections, and his arrival is perfect!"

Ling Jiuyue was responsible for making the connections, but how the profits were distributed was not her concern.

In front of Qin Shixiao, Yang Xingzhi stated, "They say even close brothers should keep clear accounts. I was able to do this business thanks to Jiu Yue's matchmaking, so 20% of this must go to my sister. This will remain unchanged no matter how big or small the business is in the future!"

Ling Jiuyue quickly refused, "No need, brother-in-law, we're not outsiders..."

"If you still consider me your brother-in-law, then this is settled!"

Yang Xingzhi was thinking that Qin Shixiao was promising and capable. Right now, because the Cai family rejected the marriage proposal, he would treat Ling Jiuyue well. But what about the future?

By giving Ling Jiuyue this share, he was telling Qin Shixiao not to think that Ling Jiuyue was easy to bully just because she didn't have any brothers. If he dared to bully Ling Jiuyue in the future, he would have to think twice.

Qin Shixiao naturally saw through Yang Xingzhi's thoughts: "Alright, brother-in-law, I won't let you suffer a loss. I heard you want to buy a car. When you buy the car, if you don't have enough money, just let me know, and I'll cover the rest!"

Yang Xingzhi was momentarily defeated. His brother-in-law was too capable, and his position as the eldest brother-in-law was in jeopardy.

The business partnership was settled.

Yang Xingzhi remembered the Director Xiao he had delivered goods to that day: "In September, Director Xiao's daughter is approaching her college entrance exams. She's been feeling unwell, can't sleep at night, and says someone is watching her. She's also been dozing off in class during the day. Her family is extremely worried. Could you... perhaps help her take a look?"

Ling Jiuyue glanced at the empty basket: "You only met him for the first time, and you're already talking about such private family matters?"

Shunzi chimed in from the side: "Little Ling, you don't know, sometimes it's just such a coincidence. Sister Song introduced us to Director Xiao, and we're here to deliver goods today."

Just as I was asking for directions near the factory, I encountered a group of thugs bullying a young girl. I couldn't stand by and watch, so I rescued her!

The little girl was terrified. The older brother, wanting to see things through, took her to a sanctuary. Unexpectedly, she said she also wanted to go to the hardware factory, and her father happened to be Director Xiao. What a coincidence!

Ling Jiuyue, having nothing else to do, said, "Alright, let's go visit Director Xiao this afternoon. Brother Qin, you..."

Qin Shixiao said he had something to do in the afternoon, so he wouldn't go with them.

When Director Xiao's wife, Sister He, saw that the person who came to help was a young girl, she was slightly taken aback, then smiled and invited them inside.

Ling Jiuyue could tell that Sister He was smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, suggesting that she didn't really believe that she could help solve the problem.

Director Xiao had heard about Ling Jiuyue's prowess from Sister Song, and thus held high hopes for her.

"This is my daughter's third year of repeating a grade. From elementary school to high school, she has always been a top student, consistently ranking among the top in her grade."

But every year during the last half of the college entrance exam preparation period, she would fall into this state, always feeling like someone was watching her, making her sleep poorly at night, mentally distracted, and unable to concentrate on studying!

I also tried having her grandma sleep with her, but it didn't work. She said that person kept staring at her and blowing on her face, which scared her so much that she couldn't sleep. But her grandma didn't seem to notice anything. This whole thing has been a real mess for our family..."

Ling Jiuyue looked around the Xiao family home. The house, which was over fifty square meters, was clean, tidy, and cozy. A family photo of the three of them was displayed on the cabinet.

The wall was covered with all of Xiao Ziyu's awards, making it a truly outstanding girl.

The old lady of the Xiao family also looked worried: "She's been like this for three years now. We've had people look at her, and they all said it's nothing, just that the pressure of her college entrance exam caused her mental stress!"

When the old lady said this, Sister He gave her a disapproving look but didn't say anything.

Her daughter is so outstanding and cheerful, and her studies are so solid, how could she possibly be under stress?

Ling Jiuyue asked Director Xiao, "Does your family have only one daughter?"

Sister He explained embarrassedly, "My health isn't good. Xiaoyu had two pregnancies before, but she lost both. Even with Ziyu, it took a lot of medicine and a lot of effort to keep the baby!"

As the group was talking, a chubby boy of about eight or nine years old came in with his schoolbag. Seeing that there were many people in the room, he only glanced at them and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get some food.

Grandma Xiao hurriedly chased after him: "Oh dear, Sanwa, you can't touch the chicken leg! This is for your sister. Be good, we won't eat it. Your sister has exams coming up, she's under a lot of pressure!"

Director Xiao called out to the kitchen, "Mom, if Sanwa wants to eat, let him. We're not short of food. We'll make it for Xiaoyu when she gets back!"

Sister He pursed her lips, her expression not very happy.

Ling Jiuyue looked at the boy and asked, "Who is this child...?"
