If a piece of logic is fragmented, then that logic certainly cannot withstand scrutiny.

If a logic is sound, you need to think about it through objective evidence.

If a logic is meticulous and closed, even if it's somewhat convoluted to read...

You need to understand that this matter is not simple!

"Uncle Sun, I'd like to ask you, regarding the Zhang Yue and Zhang Xing sisters, what happened to the other neighbors back then?"

Xu De changed his attitude and looked at Uncle Sun in front of him to ask a question.

Uncle Sun was still a little dizzy.

He couldn't understand what Xu De was saying.

But the phrase "my sister's sister's sister is my older sister" clearly made him dizzy and caused him to freeze up. Fortunately...

The other person's voice rang out, pulling him out of this sensory trance. He thought for a moment, then said:

"Are you a neighbor?"

Xu Dedao:

"They're neighbors, people who know the brother and sister quite well."

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Sun said, "Besides me, there are three other families who stayed in Fujia Town."

Are there three left?

Xu De was pleasantly surprised.

From a purely profit-driven perspective, he hopes these people won't recognize him either; therefore, the fewer people present, the lower the probability of an accident. From an objective standpoint... it's even less likely the other party will recognize him.

First, even the closer Sun couldn't recognize who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.

The two look exactly alike; if it weren't for their one-year age difference, they would definitely be mistaken for twins.

The two children initially used this to tease Xu De.

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

After Lao Sun wrote down the address, Xu De carefully put it away and handed it to Lin Yue for safekeeping.

He stood up, about to leave, when he suddenly paused and said:

"Um... Uncle Sun, I'd like to ask if you have any free time in the next few days? If so..."

"We would like to ask you to be a witness... well, just tell the truth objectively."

Old Sun did not refuse when he heard this.

"Yes, I definitely have time. I'm so old, I'm practically bored to death. I spend all my time playing cards or dancing."

"Damn demolition, it's shattered my whole life."

"When this person loses their goals, they actually miss the days when they had something to do."

The rat on one side gave Old Sun a deep look, cursing inwardly, but said nothing on the surface.

Xu De didn't seem to mind; his smile deepened, and he said:

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"That concludes our communication for now. We'll contact you again if needed in the future..."

"Yes, don't worry, we will reimburse you for all travel expenses incurred in inviting you to testify in court."

Old Sun said, "No trouble at all..."

The two talked for a long time.

finally.

Only then did they leave the small villa-like self-built house and walk out of Longhe Lane.

Before coming in.

They looked worried and serious.

After going outside...

Wang Chao and Lin Yue were utterly shocked, as if they had witnessed something that did not exist in this world, something inconceivable.

Xu De, on the other hand, was in an exceptionally good mood, and felt a great sense of relief throughout his body.

But after thinking for a moment, he looked at the rat beside him, who was preparing to leave to continue scavenging for trash, and said:

Are you free?

Old Sun, who was a neighbor of Zhang Yue and Zhang Xing more than ten years ago, went to court to admit that he could not prove who was Zhang Da and who was Zhang Er.

Mice also play a significant role.

He went to court to prove that he didn't know who was Zhang Yue and who was Zhang Xing, when the two sisters were homeless.

"No time," the mouse replied decisively.

Just kidding, do you think rats would just wander around "on the street" instead of stealing things to survive?

Haven't you ever heard of the phrase "a rat crossing the street"?

"I won't give you money; paying to testify is illegal."

Xu De spoke.

Although he felt that names and identities were unrelated, for example, whether Zhang Da was big or not.

However, he felt that his name and character were still directly linked.

His name is Xu De, so he must be virtuous.

A virtuous person never breaks the law!

"Ha, if I don't have money, then I'm definitely not going."

The mouse pursed its lips, and with that, it began to limp away.

After thinking it over, Xu De suddenly spoke:

"Oh, what a pity."

"If you're willing to testify in court... after receiving the compensation, I reckon those two sisters won't be living under the bridge anymore."

"I doubt anyone takes care of those things..."

Zhang Er's injuries were so severe that they nearly killed him, and the compensation would start at six figures.

These days, a six-figure sum can easily buy a house, and with the appreciation of the house, the two of them can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. As for the things under the bridge... to be honest, apart from some that are of profound significance.

Xu De would definitely throw away survival supplies for them, forcing them not to bring them.

The living environment will definitely be improved.

The mouse pricked up its ears.

He looked at Xu De, his expression turning serious, and said, "This rat has wandered aimlessly for half its life, only regretting that it has never met a wise ruler!"

It is clear.

He still harbored wicked intentions and set his sights on the sisters' small family.

The other party wants Zhang Da and Zhang Er to "die" in the "bottom" ecosystem, and then seize their survival resources.

"Hey, you're quite an interesting guy."

Wang Chao's lips twitched, and he pointed at him, clicking his tongue, "Why don't you find a job? Even though you're lame, there are still many things you can do." The other person had a lot on his mind.

Besides his prior knowledge of Chinese language, he also understands the law... at least he can understand Article 4 of the "Law on the Protection of Minors." He can even understand Xu De's defense logic, making him a truly well-rounded talent!

Not doing anything and just wandering around is simply self-degradation.

only.....

The mouse, however, scoffed:

"Kid, you don't know anything. I just love this kind of homeless life."

"I wander because I like this kind of life."

"I understand the law because I want to prove I'm not a useless person who's homeless; I'm fundamentally different from other homeless people!"

Wang Chao: ..

Wang Chao remarked with emotion: "Confucius said: 'A gentleman seeks the truth within himself; a petty person seeks it from others.'"

The mouse nodded: "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."

Wang Chao felt that the two were kindred spirits.

Unfortunately, this confidant's ideas differed from his own.

Xu De looked at Lin Yue to one side.

"We've decided on a plan. We won't rush back these next couple of days; let's gather more information in Green Forest City first."

"Yes, I'll stay at Baiyun Temple tonight."

Although he has not been in Green Forest City for the past few months, he still rents a place at Baiyun Temple as usual.

"Mmm." Lin Yue nodded like she was stabbing rice.

Then she exclaimed, "Sometimes I'm really curious... what's going on in your head!"

Lin Yue had always admired the other party.

But now, hearing the theory that "my sister's sister's sister is my older sister," I still feel that my previous understanding was too shallow. "Why don't you, Master Lin, perform a ritual and see if you can figure it out?"

Xu De raised an eyebrow, looking at the other party expectantly.

Lin Yue put her hands on her hips, her chest puffing out like two little buns, and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Childish! Just like a kid!"

Xu De laughed and said, "Age-wise, you're only a year older than me."

Lin Yue: "That's still older than you!"

talking.

Lin Yue paused, then raised an eyebrow and gave a dramatic remark:

"Xiao Xu, when I was your age, I already didn't do this kind of thing. You need to be more mature, you know..."

Xu De recalled something from six months ago and whispered a reminder: "Not a year ago, you yourself told me you were 'Nine Heavens...'"

Before Xu De could finish speaking, he felt a warm, moist touch covering his mouth.

Lin Yue panicked. She reached out and covered the other person's mouth, then glanced guiltily at Wang Chao, who was engrossed in discussing "Confucius said" beside her. Immediately, a blush rose on her fair face, and her ears turned as red as drops of blood.

She was clearly extremely guilty, but she pretended to be calm, staring at Xu De with wide eyes full of warning.

"Hehe, little girl."

Xu De smiled, then seeing that the other party was about to explode, he quickly smoothed things over and said:

What should we eat tonight?

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll cook you a nice meal."

Lin Yue paused, the corners of her lips slightly turned up, and she crossed her arms over her chest, her rounded breasts being squeezed as if they were about to jump out.

"I want to eat braised pork."

"I'll call Chaozi," Xu De said.

Lin Yue thought for a moment, her subconscious urging her on, and she said softly, her tone a little unnatural:

"No...the two of us can eat it."

Xu De looked at the person in front of him with suspicion and surprise, and asked in bewilderment, "Are you that greedy?"

So greedy?

This doesn't look like the Lin Zhenjun I know!

Or is it...?

Xu De raised an eyebrow.

"Hehe, is it the 'Purifying Altar Messenger True Lord' today?"

Without waiting for a reply, he laughed and said:

"It's alright, I'll make more. You'll have enough to eat. Don't worry about having an extra mouth to feed. We can even share some with the mice."

As a chef, arm strength is naturally indispensable.

Let alone three mouths.

Even if there were ten mouths to feed, Xu De could still feed them!

The other party was clearly underestimating his arm strength.

Xu De said smugly.

Lin Yue stared at Xu De for a moment, then inexplicably felt annoyed and reached out to touch his waist.

"Hey, why are you pinching my waist?"

"Hmph."

Lin Yue withdrew her fair, slender hands, crossed her arms over her chest, and the little pig began to grunt.

Xu De didn't pay much attention to it, had lunch with his group, and then went to another neighbor's address. They didn't reach an agreement, but there was no real conflict either. That evening...

The crowd dispersed.

It was 6:10 PM.

Baiyun Temple.

Xu De rarely returns home. After being away for more than a month, looking at this place that is both strange and familiar, he feels a surge of emotions.

However, he didn't rest either.

He turned around and became a pig feeder, making feed for the pigs in the law firm that liked to "oink".

Made with the finest pork belly!

Around seven o'clock, after the braised pork was finished, the two went to the stone pavilion to eat it slowly.

"It's said that cannibalism can easily lead to prions, so be careful."

Xu De pointed to the pork belly and gently reminded Lin Yue.

Lin Yue: ..,

really.

First impressions are usually accurate.

From the moment they first met, Lin Yue always felt that the person in front of her was a jerk, and now she was sure of it.

This person did it on purpose!!!

"Clang!"

Lin Yue stuffed the braised pork into her mouth through her thin lips, her cheeks puffing out. She watched Xu De chew vigorously, as if she were biting him. Xu De didn't seem to mind.

Eat slowly.

He reached out, casually pulled out a tissue, and wiped the sauce off the other person's nose.

Neither of them paid much attention.

only..

"Xiaoyue? You're back? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

A surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Xu De paused, then looked up to the side.

All I saw was...

A middle-aged man in a suit was standing in the stone pavilion, looking at Lin Yue with surprise on his face.

It's already past April, and Lin Yue has been away from home for over a month without making a single phone call. Lin Guodong has been missing her terribly.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, and a father worries too!

She's actually gone home!?

only....

Upon seeing Xu De sitting in front of Lin Yue in the stone pavilion, Lin Guodong's expression froze slightly.

"you."

Lin Guodong's lips moved, and finally his tone softened as he spoke:

Why didn't you tell me?

Hearing the noise, Lin Yue didn't look up; instead, she buried her face in her rice bowl and started rummaging through it.

Xu De looked at the other person with suspicion, noticing the somewhat similar facial features. He raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion:

"What's your name?"

Lin Guodong was silent for a moment, then glanced at his daughter who was ignoring him, took a deep breath, and calmly said:

My surname is Liu.

"Yes, this child's... elder."

elder?

No wonder.

"Would you like to have some, Uncle Liu?" Xu De asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately raised her head, adopting a possessive stance towards her food, and shook her head, saying, "He should have eaten..."

Lin Guodong said, "I haven't eaten yet, so I'll gladly accept your offer."

The words were spoken.

Lin Guodong didn't stand on ceremony at all. He washed his hands, sat down next to Lin Yue, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating meat.

He was still thinking about the person in front of him.

But when the meat entered my mouth...

The salty and savory flavor spread across the taste buds on his tongue, and Lin Guodong suddenly swallowed hard.

He then chewed the meat and swallowed it.

"That kid..."

Lin Guodong looked at Lin Yue beside him, who wouldn't even glance at him. Although he didn't want to admit it, but...

"Barely, her cooking is only slightly better than mine."

As he spoke, Lin Guodong picked up another piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"Maybe, once my cooking skills improve, we'll be able to eat together?"

"Hiss, how was this meat cooked...?"

Lin Guodong ate very quickly. As Lin Yue ate, she noticed that she had lost a lot of weight and immediately became anxious.

When it comes to protecting her food, she's almost as fierce as Pigsy from Journey to the West!

However, Xu De gave her a reassuring look, and she understood immediately.

"I'll give you some extra help later."

The atmosphere inside the stone pavilion was eerie.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but something just feels off.

Xu De ate his meal as usual.

Lin Guodong felt that if his cooking skills were a little better... he could go back to the warm and happy family of three he used to be!

Lin Yue switches between her personality as a possessive mother and a familial lover.

4 month 6 day.

A message came from Qian Hao and Yang Bing, who were far away in Chengdu.

The Chengdu Intermediate People's Court has set a hearing date.

The second court hearing is scheduled for April 15th!

The time wasn't too early or too late; a full two weeks had been given to prepare since the last court hearing.

The long duration proves the hospital was well-prepared; if possible...

The Intermediate People's Court held its first trial and second hearing, and the answer should be given on the 15th!
