Jiang Guanqing remained silent for a long time before finally picking up his chopsticks and taking a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from the bowl. The taste was surprisingly familiar.

Jiang Guanqing bit her lip. "Did you make this yourself?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Jianshan's face. "Your skills haven't gotten worse, have they?"

Jiang Guanqing's eyes welled up with tears. He didn't say anything, just nodded, lowered his eyes, and stuffed the ribs into his mouth.

Seeing that Jiang Guanqing liked to eat, Jiang Jianshan smiled, but tears welled up in his eyes.

This might be the last time he would ever have a meal with Jiang Guanqing. Jiang Jianshan cherished it all the more, his gaze almost constantly fixed on Jiang Guanqing. Jiang Guanqing could sense it, but pretended not to, and the meal was eaten in silence.

No matter how reluctant you are to leave, a meal will always come to an end.

"Are you full?"

Jiang Guanqing nodded. "I'm full."

After Jiang Jianshan paid the bill, he pushed a USB drive in front of Jiang Guanqing. "This is the evidence I collected of Nan Yun'er's crimes. I don't know if it will still be useful to you, but you can keep it."

Jiang Jianshan casually patted his bottom and stood up. "Alright, we've met and eaten, it's time to get down to business."

As he spoke, Jiang Jianshan turned to leave.

Jiang Guanqing's heart tightened. "Where are you going?"

Jiang Jianshan smiled and said, "Go and turn yourself in. I've wronged you all these years."

Jiang Guanqing didn't say anything, stood up, and followed Jiang Jianshan a few steps behind to the front of the First Brigade of Jingbei City.

The midday sun was scorching, giving the national emblem at the entrance of the First Brigade of Jingbei City a golden edge.

Jiang Jianshan stepped onto the stairs, turned to look at Jiang Guanqing, and waved, "Little Guanqing, go back."

"Jiang Jianshan, even if you turn yourself in, I will never forgive you." Jiang Guanqing's voice choked with emotion, but every word was clear.

Jiang Jianshan shuddered, and then heard Jiang Guanqing say, "I will never forgive Jiang Jianshan, but I will always remember the uncle who carried me on his back on horseback and brought me gifts."

Jiang Jianshan opened his mouth, tears streaming down his face, but in the end he could only nod heavily, turn around and walk into the First Brigade of Jingbei City.

Jiang Guanqing stared at that figure for a long time before slowly walking away.

That afternoon, Jiang Guanqing returned home and developed a high fever. Cuts from glass shards on his hands were also discovered.

Jiang Yan was so angry that she didn't speak to Jiang Guanqing all night, but fortunately, Jiang Guanqing's fever subsided the next day.

After learning that Jiang Jianshan had returned to China, Jiang Guanqing even secretly went to meet with him alone. As a result, Jiang Guanqing was put on the "blacklist." Jiang Yan, Bai Xin, and Gong Bolin wished they could tie Jiang Guanqing to their belts and take him everywhere they went.

Two days before the school's coming-of-age ceremony, Nam Yoon-ah's public sentencing took place amidst great public attention.

The courtroom was packed with media and onlookers, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room soared to tens of millions. Jiang Guanqing and his team went to the scene and sat in a corner.

Wearing a prison uniform, Nam Yoon-ah was escorted to court. Her once delicate face was haggard, and she no longer had the pitiful look she used to have.

The judge read the verdict in a solemn and stern voice.

"The defendant, Nam Yoon-ah, is guilty of attempted murder, endangering public safety, defamation, false accusation, kidnapping, extortion, and infringement of trade secrets... For these multiple crimes, she is sentenced to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property..."

When Nam Yoon-ah heard the word "life imprisonment," she collapsed, but was quickly restrained by the bailiffs. Suddenly, a cheer rang out, "Evil will be punished!"

Jiang Guanqing looked at the ashen-faced figure on the stage, unable to describe his feelings.

Baiyun said that the defection system has been unbound from Nan Yun'er. Nan Yun'er will suffer for decades in prison, her physical condition will decline, she will suffer from major and minor illnesses, and she will suffer pain and torment, but she will not die. Compared to death, this is the most severe punishment for Nan Yun'er.

As Jiang Yan and the others watched Nan Yun'er being taken away, their clenched fists slowly relaxed, and they were completely relieved.

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Guanqing, "Big brother, it's all over."

Jiang Guanqing chuckled and nodded, not mentioning the defection system to them. The pursuit system would arrive in a few days, so there was no need for Jiang Yan and the others to worry.

Jiang Guanqing and his group only got up to leave after most of the others had left.

Just then, a bright, youthful voice rang out behind them.

"Stop!"

Jiang Ting paused, realizing that only Yan Suian knew how to call out that.

Jiang Ting turned around and saw Yan Sui'an. Her eyes lit up. "Sui'an, what are you doing here?"

Yan Suian jogged forward with a grin, "My brother brought me here."

Before Yan Suian could finish speaking, a stern voice rang out behind him, "Yan Suian, don't run away."

Yan Sui'an reluctantly braked and switched from running to walking.

Jiang Guanqing met Yan Ling's gaze, paused slightly, and nodded with a faint smile.

Yan Ling nodded in response.

In just a short while, Yan Suian had pulled Jiang Ting to a corner, their two furry heads huddled together, chattering away.

Yan Ling said helplessly, "Yan Sui Sui, we should go back."

Yan Suian was somewhat reluctant. "I'm going home with Stopper today."

"What?!" Yan Ling almost doubted her ears.

"I want to be with Si..."

Yan Ling interrupted in time, "No."

Yan Sui'an pouted, turned around and ran. She ran up behind Jiang Guanqing and muttered loudly, "It's all because of Big Brother. You're so fierce. Stopp's Big Brother is very gentle and good-looking."

Yan Ling nearly fainted from anger, gritting her teeth, "Come back here!"

"I don't!"

Yan Sui'an tugged at Jiang Guanqing's sleeve, his eyes drooping as he looked at Jiang Guanqing expectantly. "Big brother~ I'm Stopp's good friend, Yan Sui'an. You can call me Sui Sui. Can I come to your house as a guest?"

Jiang Guanqing glanced down at Yan Sui'an, who looked aggrieved and full of expectation, then at Yan Ling, whose skin was as black as the bottom of a pot, and nodded. "Of course you can, Sui'an, but you need your family's permission."

Yan Suian looked at Yan Ling, her eyes quickly filling with tears, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll cry."

"Okay, fine." A mouthful of blood was about to spit out from Yan Ling's mouth. He was right in front of her, but Yan Suian was so clingy, calling everyone else "big brother."

Finally, Yan Ling and Yan Suian had lunch with Jiang Guanqing and the others. After lunch, Yan Ling "willingly" agreed to let Yan Suian visit the Jiang family.

At seven o'clock the next morning, a car and an unfamiliar figure appeared outside the Jiang family villa.

Yan Ling got up very early to catch her younger brother, and finally waited for him to get up until nine o'clock.

Friday arrived quickly. After school, Jiang Guanqing asked Jiang Ning to bring Qu Liao and Tong Fei back together. The coming-of-age ceremony was the next day, and they would go to school together.
