Looking at his youngest daughter, Lin Chongli felt both helpless and apprehensive.

Although the two daughters of the Lin family look exactly alike, their personalities are completely different.

My older sister, Lin Yunong, has never been very clever since she was a child. She is simple-minded, goes with the flow, and is always content with whatever comes her way.

The younger sister, Lin Yunxiu, had the complete opposite personality. She was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, had a very strong personality, and was extremely ambitious. She always wanted to be in charge, making her more like her older sister.

So ever since she started junior high school, she has basically been in charge of all the big and small things at home.

So now Lin Chongli and his wife Lan Hua are like her students, being "scolded" by her, and neither of them feels anything is wrong with it.

This time, they ignored their daughter's advice and secretly got things done and spent the money. Feeling guilty, they spoke even more softly.

Seeing her parents' cautious and apologetic expressions, Lin Yunxiu, who had so much to say, found herself unable to utter a word.

Finally, he could only sigh helplessly and say, "Tomorrow I'll go find Yang Xiaoyong and get the money back. If he dares not to return it, I'll call the police."

Although she didn't know Yang Xiaoyong personally, she did know who he was. After all, he was a ghost matchmaker, which was somewhat out of place in this day and age. However, they hadn't had much interaction before, so she had never paid any attention to him.

"Yang Xiaoyong is dead," Lin Chongli said hurriedly.

"Dead? How did he die?" Lin Yunxiu stared in shock upon hearing this.

"The car overturned into the river, and the people drowned. When they were found, their bodies were already bloated from being submerged."

Her mother, Lan Hua, quietly explained to her from the side.

"He was perfectly fine, and he's just gone like that?" Lin Yunxiu said.

"He probably did too many immoral things and got his comeuppance," Lin Chongli sighed.

Lin Yunxiu almost laughed in anger upon hearing this, "You know he does despicable things, and you still go after him?"

"We're different here," Lin Chongli argued.

His wife, Lan Hua, nodded repeatedly beside him.

Seeing how brainwashed they looked by the "pig butchering scam," Lin Yunxiu felt a little dizzy.

"What's different?"

"Some of the women Yang Xiaoyong introduced to others in the past had questionable backgrounds, unlike the one in our family."

"Illegally obtained?"

"It was a stolen corpse, and the police even arrested him for it."

"So what's different about ours?"

"This one in our family is alive, and it's also from our own volition."

Lin Yunxiu suddenly realized that her conversation with her father was full of absurd humor, and she even felt like laughing.

"So Yang Xiaoyong found a complete stranger and swindled you out of 200,000 yuan?"

"Xiao Shen is not a liar. He's a very good young man and an excellent person. Your sister is lucky to have married him," Lin Chongli said.

Aunt Lanhua nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunxiu felt an urge to flip the table; she was furious at her parents' ignorance.

At this point, they're still protecting the scammer, saying things like their own sister isn't good enough for him. How can someone belittle their own daughter like that?

Seeing her daughter's angry face and eyes that were about to spit fire, Aunt Lanhua felt uneasy. She hadn't had much schooling when she was young and had never been scolded by a teacher. She never expected to be scolded by her daughter in her old age. Was this a way of making up for her childhood regrets and giving her a complete childhood?

Lin Chongli quickly explained, "Xiao Shen is a top student who graduated from China University of Science and Technology. He's even more capable than you. What did he study...?"

"Physics," Aunt Orchid whispered a reminder.

"Yes, he's a physicist, and he even owns his own company. He's really impressive; the fact that he's interested in your sister..."

Upon meeting his daughter's sinister gaze, Lin Chongli's words caught in his throat, and he quickly changed the subject.

"He didn't cheat us out of money; he donated all of it to the orphanage."

"It's an orphanage," Aunt Lanhua corrected softly.

"They all mean the same thing."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunxiu's anger subsided somewhat, replaced by a look of surprise.

What does it mean to donate to an orphanage?

So the couple quickly recounted what had happened.

Finally, Lin Chongli said, "I even specifically asked the bank staff, and it's a real welfare home account, not a fake one. They're not lying."

As Lin Chongli spoke, he gestured for Aunt Lanhua to bring the things over.

Aunt Lanhua quickly got up and went back to her room to get a photo album.

Lin Yunxiu was naturally familiar with this photo album; all the family photos were in it, but the most numerous were photos of the two sisters together.

Lin Yunxiu took the photo album and flipped directly to the last page. Sure enough, there were two new photos: one of a strange man and the other of a man and his sister. However, the photos were obviously photoshopped and looked very crude.

But when Lin Yunxiu saw the man's face clearly, her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

The blurry face in my dream seemed to become clear at this moment.

That slightly upturned, wicked smile made him look like a bad person, but it seemed that only someone like him could make the vulgar words spoken in his ear seem reasonable.

This was a half-length portrait of someone wearing a short-sleeved shirt, so when Lin Yunxiu's gaze moved down and landed on the muscular chest in the photo, everything seemed to make more sense.

Because I've measured these pectoral muscles countless times with my own hands, they're so familiar to me.

So, the reason I had that dream was because of my sister?

Did he really marry my sister? And did he actually do *that*?

Lin Yunxiu's expression grew increasingly strange, her worldview shattered.

She instinctively reached out and pulled the photo out of the album, wanting to look at it more closely.

A piece of paper was pulled out and fell to the ground, wobbling slightly.

"Oh, this is the business card that Xiao Shen left. I put it behind the photo," Lin Chongli quickly said.

Lin Yunxiu picked up the business card from the ground and glanced at it.

"Shen Qingzhou, General Manager of Qingzhou Information Consulting Firm..."

She read out the name on the business card, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She flipped the business card over and saw that the bank listed was indeed an orphanage. It seemed her father hadn't lied to her.

However, she wasn't entirely convinced that it was true. After all, there are so many scammers out there these days, who knows if it's just a charity that's designed to swindle money?

After all, there are far too many welfare institutions these days that make money in this way.

"I told you I wasn't lying."

Lin Chongli's tone carried a hint of pride, as if he was quite satisfied with how he had handled the matter.

Lin Yunxiu glared at him and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I need to go to his company to take a look first."

As she spoke, she casually slipped the photos and business cards into her pocket.

"You should call him brother-in-law," Aunt Lanhua whispered a reminder from the side.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunxiu immediately turned and glared at her.

"Let's eat, dinner's getting cold..."

Aunt Lan Hua quickly turned around and went to the kitchen.

Seeing her run away as if fleeing, Lin Yunxiu snorted, thought for a moment, took out her phone, and wanted to search online for Qingzhou Information Consulting Agency.

Unexpectedly, this search yielded a lot of information.

But when I saw that the services offered in those posts included exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits, communicating between the living and the dead, and feng shui consultations...

She was completely stunned. Could it be that my sister wasn't married off, but instead was kidnapped and tortured and humiliated every night?
