On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jiamo's phone rang.

He took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered slowly: "Hello, Chief Chen... Well, she just came out of the hospital. Her injuries are quite serious; she has two fractures of the transverse processes of her lumbar vertebrae. I'm afraid she can't give a statement today. Well... Okay, then let's wait a few days, or if it really doesn't work, we can do a statement over the phone."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jiamo snorted, a half-smile on his face: "I was thinking of abandoning you halfway through the journey, but look, the police are calling me because they're looking for you."

Lin Xiwei was speechless. It seemed that the police officers had automatically linked her to Qin Jiamo.

The Maybach started and slowly drove away from the hospital.

Lin Xiwei's back was still in excruciating pain, making it impossible for her to calm down.

This injury requires at least a week of bed rest, and then another month or so of proper care—what about Junjun?

The nanny was fired, and the little one is now resisting the new caregiver.

I can't rely on my parents at all.

Although Su Yunfan is Junjun's legal father, given how things have turned out, it's impossible for him to come to the hospital to take care of him.

Lin Xiwei felt increasingly saddened as she thought about it, unable to understand how her perfectly good life had suddenly come to this point, leaving her destitute and alone.

Moreover, her mobility is limited, so moving and such will be delayed.

What if things drag on and Su Yunfan changes his mind again?

A host of troubles weighed on my mind.

Seeing that she was silent and sullen, Qin Jiamo turned his head to look out the car window.

He stared at her intently and saw that her face was unusually calm, but her eyes were moist and red, and a tear quietly slid down her cheek from the side of the car window.

His brow furrowed, his Adam's apple bobbed, and words of comfort were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.

He also knew that Lin Xiwei was in a very difficult situation. All the misfortunes had erupted in an instant, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe her as being surrounded by enemies and at her wit's end.

Even if she manages to get a divorce and receive tens of millions, it won't solve the series of problems she faces.

The carriage remained silent for a long time before Qin Jiamo finally broke the silence, asking, "What do we do now? Should we take you back to the Provincial Women and Children's Hospital, or go home to rest?"

Lin Xiwei was startled, blinked several times, and quickly composed herself to suppress the pain in her heart.

"I've taken leave from work. I'd better go back to the hospital to be with Junjun. That place... it's not really my home anymore."

"How can you accompany me like this? The doctor said you need to rest in bed, otherwise your injuries will not heal well and you may develop chronic illnesses." Qin Jiamo was still direct in her speech.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, her resolve hardening once more. "It's alright, I'll be more careful."

Qin Jiamo pondered for a moment before speaking again: "I have a suggestion, you might want to listen to it."

Lin Xiwei turned to look at him.

"Move Junjun to the North Building, next to my mother's room, so it will be easier for them to take care of him. You will share a room with Junjun and rest in bed for the next few days. See a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for physical therapy to help you recover as quickly as possible."

From the moment he spoke his first sentence, Lin Xiwei's eyes clearly lit up with excitement.

After he finished speaking, Lin Xiwei thought it was a really good idea, but...

"Wouldn't this be too much of a disturbance to the two elders? Besides, your mother's health has clearly improved, and she should be discharged from the hospital soon, right?" Lin Xiwei felt that the Qin family's kindness to her was too great, and she felt too much pressure.

Looking at her disfigured face, Qin Jiamo's tone seemed somewhat helpless, "The old lady can be discharged from the hospital now, but she refuses to go back."

Lin Xiwei immediately understood and felt embarrassed, "Is it because Junjun keeps bothering them?"

Qin Jiamo knew she was under a lot of psychological burden, so she put it another way to comfort her, "You should say that they keep bothering your son and completely regard him as their emotional support."

Lin Xiwei was momentarily speechless. After a moment of silence, she asked him, "So when do you plan to tell them the truth?"

"What's the truth?"

"Junjun is your younger brother's heir..."

Qin Jiamo frowned, avoiding her gaze, and said, "We'll talk about it later."

Lin Xiwei frowned, staring at his cold and stern profile.

Perhaps she was overthinking it—she had a feeling that Qin Jiamo didn't really care that Junjun was his nephew.

But he was so good to Junjun that he even made her "benefit from her son's status" and she also benefited a lot from his kindness.

Although Qin Jiamo didn't turn around, he knew that she was staring at him and investigating something, so he changed the subject: "Do you have a security camera in your living room? Cut out the video of what happened and send it to me."

Lin Xiwei came to her senses and understood what he was going to do.

Since we're going to get Lin Zheng'an and his son arrested, we need evidence.

Now that her forensic examination has determined that she sustained minor injuries, it is no longer a family dispute that can be easily resolved through mediation, but has been classified as a criminal case.

But when Lin Xiwei took out her phone, her face immediately turned awkward.

"My phone is broken, the screen is unreadable..."

Qin Jiamo turned to look at her phone, and without saying a word instructed his assistant, "Han Rui, find a phone store up ahead and buy a new phone."

"Okay, boss."

While driving, Han Rui kept an eye out for mobile phone stores along the roadside. Soon, he spotted a flagship store of a well-known domestic mobile phone brand.

Han Rui parked the car, and Lin Xiwei didn't bother with formalities by saying she would go downstairs to buy it.

After all, she is having difficulty walking right now, so I won't cause her any trouble.

Han Rui got out of the car, went into the store, picked out the latest model, chose a purple color that girls like, paid, and left.

"Boss, new phone." Han Rui got into the car and handed the phone to the back seat.

Even though the phone was bought for Lin Xiwei, she acted like a bystander the whole time.

She didn't even have a chance to get the new phone before Qin Jiamo took it from her.

"Give me your crappy phone." He ordered Lin Xiwei as he unpacked the new phone.

"..." Lin Xiwei was speechless and handed over her broken phone.

"What's the password?"

Lin Xiwei said so.

Next, Qin Jiamo treated Lin Xiwei's broken phone like his own, took out the SIM card, and inserted it into the new phone.

Then, using synchronization software, all the data on the old phone was copied and imported into the new phone with one click.

While Qin Jiamo was doing these things, Lin Xiwei couldn't get involved, so she could only talk to Han Rui.

"Assistant Han, how much is the phone? I'll transfer the money to you in a bit."

Han Rui glanced at the rearview mirror and said politely, "Ms. Lin, you're welcome. I can get reimbursed by the law firm."

Reimbursement from the law firm? And the law firm owner is Qin Jiamo…

So Lin Xiwei glanced at Qin Jiamo again, "Then I'll transfer the money to you."

Qin Jiamo was busy with his hands, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips. "What, don't want to owe me a favor?"

Lin Xiwei: "..."

"You owe me a favor that money can't repay, so why not give me your son in return?" Qin Jiamo said with a half-smile, her words startling.

Lin Xiwei froze, staring at his cold profile, unsure whether he was telling the truth.

Does he still intend to have Junjun acknowledge his ancestors and return to the Qin family?

Seeing that she remained silent, Qin Jiamo turned around and glanced at her, then sneered, "Just kidding, look how scared you are."

As he spoke, he handed over the new phone. "Okay, everything's set up. Log back into the monitoring app."

Lin Xiwei glanced at him, her face filled with resentment.

She's in such a terrible state, and this guy still has the nerve to joke around with her.

That's inhuman.

Lin Xiwei received her new phone, flipped it left and right to look at it; it was a very sophisticated taro purple, quite pretty.

As she logged into the monitoring system, Qin Jiamo asked from the side, "What do we do with this crappy phone?"

Without turning her head, Lin Xiwei said, "Delete everything inside and then throw it away."

That phone was a gift from Su Yunfan when they got married; it was the latest model at the time and cost over ten thousand yuan.

She takes good care of her things; her phone is still in excellent condition after four years.

Now, that shattered, mangled screen is just as wretched as her broken marriage.

Perfect, let's just consider it a sacrifice for marriage.

As Lin Xiwei reviewed the surveillance footage and relived the nightmare from God's perspective, her body couldn't help but tremble.

When Lin Zheng'an attacked her, he really didn't hold back at all.

Lin Yanzhou tried to smooth things over, helping Lin Zheng'an restrain her. When Chu Qing came to help, he pushed her away forcefully.

When Qin Jiamo saw that she suddenly stopped talking and stared at her phone without moving, he immediately understood what was going on.

Without saying a word, he reached out and took her phone.

As a seasoned lawyer, Qin Jiamo has seen countless "scumbags" over the years.

But this was the first time I had ever seen a father so clearly treat his daughter so cruelly.

And that good-for-nothing younger brother.

He had just squeezed 40 yuan out of his sister and been rescued from the police station, but in the blink of an eye, he turned on his sister and acted as if they were mortal enemies.

Qin Jiamo finally asked the question that had been troubling her for a long time: "Are you your parents' biological child?"

Lin Xiwei was taken aback and turned to look at him, remembering that Chu Qing had said the same thing earlier that day.

"I'm not kidding you. I think... you don't look much like your parents. Even if their genes mutated, they couldn't possibly have given birth to your face. And look at your brother, he's ugly, short, and ugly, and he's nothing like you."

Qin Jiamo looked at her and analyzed the situation very seriously.

To be honest, Lin Xiwei never doubted this.

Because she had witnessed many families that favored sons over daughters since she was a child, although she felt angry, upset, and sad about her parents' behavior, she never doubted that she was not their biological child.

"I..." She opened her mouth, not knowing where to begin.

"I've lived in this family since I can remember. There are old photos in the house, family photos of my mother holding me when I was a few months old, before my brother was born," she said calmly.

Qin Jiamo wasn't sure either, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.

Just then, he saw a crucial moment on the surveillance footage.

"You fractured your lumbar vertebra, it was probably from that impact." Qin Jiamo moved the phone a little closer to her and pulled the video back a bit.

When Lin Zheng'an grabbed her and pulled her, she struggled and resisted. Just then, Lin Yanzhou was helping her and tripped Lin Xiwei.

Lin Xiwei lost her balance and her back hit the corner of the refrigerator. She was then pushed backward by Lin Yanzhou, who had also lost his balance.

"With your brother's weight, you're lucky he didn't break your spine on the spot." Qin Jiamo glanced at her, his tone still indifferent, but his eyes softened considerably.

Lin Xiwei remained silent.

At this point, how the injury occurred is no longer important; what matters is pursuing responsibility.

Qin Jiamo saved the entire video clip and sent it to his phone via WeChat.

"I remember your mother stood on Tiantai Mountain and threatened to jump off the building to force you to transfer 40 yuan. You also sent me the transfer record."

Qin Jiamo quickly got into work mode and began collecting evidence.

"Of course, it would be even more advantageous if you could provide me with all the transfer records of money they've made to you over the years."

Lin Xiwei asked in confusion, "Can these really be used as evidence?"

"These actions constitute another crime—extortion by exploiting family ties," Qin Jiamo explained succinctly and forcefully, then looked at her, "If that's established, your father's case won't be limited to just three years."

After Qin Jiamo finished speaking and looked at her reaction, he paused and continued, "So you make the decision yourself. If you want him to stay in there longer, give me all the evidence."

Lin Xiwei stared at him blankly, not saying a word for a moment.

This was unexpected.

Over the years, she has been morally blackmailed by her parents, which almost brainwashed her into thinking that it is only natural for children to give money to their parents. She never thought that when it exceeds a certain limit, it would also constitute a criminal offense.

"Attorney Qin, I need to think about it first," Lin Xiwei said after a brief moment of consideration.

She had an idea in her mind.

Given that both her best friend and Qin Jiamo suspected that she was not her parents' biological child, Lin Xiwei wanted to get a paternity test.

If the DNA test results show that she is indeed his biological child, then she will still have to consider human ethics and morality to some extent.

After all, her parents gave her life and raised her. Now she has the ability and good financial conditions. If she were to send her parents to prison for money, it would be a bit heartless to abandon her family.

But if she really isn't the Lin family's biological daughter, then this matter needs to be discussed properly.

For example, who are her biological parents? How did she come to the Lin family? Why do Mr. and Mrs. Lin Zheng'an never tell her?

Perhaps, it could even uncover an even more serious truth.

As for how Lin Zheng'an should be punished, that will be up to the law.

Qin Jiamo smiled meaningfully: "It seems you're still soft-hearted."

"No," Lin Xiwei argued, "I think we should do a paternity test first."

Qin Jiamo's gaze froze, looking at her with some surprise, but he quickly understood her thoughts. "Okay, I understand. We'll talk about it when you've thought it through."

What troubled Lin Xiwei was—how could she do this paternity test?

They definitely wouldn't cooperate with her, so she could only try to secretly obtain samples and do it discreetly behind her back.

Upon returning to the Provincial Women and Children's Hospital, Qin Jiamo immediately arranged for Junjun's ward to be moved to the North Building, next to the old lady's room.

When Lin Xiwei returned to the ward, she had difficulty even climbing into bed by herself, and her back pain made her restless.

When Madam Qin saw her son come to the hospital at this time, she was curious. Qin Jiamo did not hide anything and told her about Lin Xiwei's condition directly.

The two elders of the Qin family were utterly shocked upon hearing this.

"How can there be such inhuman parents? Are they even their biological children? I'm outraged! With a fractured lumbar vertebra, how much suffering will Weiwei endure?!"

While still angry, Madam Qin sat up from the bed. "No, I have to go see her. How pitiful she is. She was beaten like this by her own family, and now she has a broken bone and no one is taking care of her."

Qin Jiamo stopped her parents, "She's feeling unwell right now, so please don't go over there. Let her rest. Also, have two more maids come over; the adults and children need someone to take care of them these next few days."

Madam Qin nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed necessary. Don't worry, we will arrange it."

After saying this, the old lady suddenly looked at her son with a curious expression: "Oh? You seem quite concerned about Weiwei. Is it because after spending time with her these past few days, you also feel that she—"

"Mom, you're overthinking things again," Qin Jiamo replied calmly. "I've just never seen anyone so unfortunate, and I'm curious about just how many human tragedies could happen to her."
