Zhou Kai looked down at Xiao Jin, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, as if he was amused by Xiao Jin's innocence.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Xiao Jin stepped out, with Zhou Kai following behind her.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Jin turned her head curiously. "Why are you following me?"

"Kid, you need money to buy things. Croissants are useless," Zhou Kai said lazily.

"This bad uncle is offering you a candy."

As he spoke, he led Xiao Jin toward the supermarket.

Xiao Jin's eyes widened slightly, quite surprised. "You mean uncle, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person!"

They actually wanted to treat Xiao Jin to candy.

Zhou Kai chuckled, "You bad uncle, you can't stand seeing stupid kids do stupid things."

"Xiao Jin isn't stupid!" Xiao Jin retorted angrily. "Xiao Jin is the smartest child."

Zhou Kai just smiled and didn't say anything. The two walked into the supermarket one after the other.

Zhou Kai casually grabbed a few candies. "Check, please."

He took out his phone to pay, then handed the bag of candy to Xiao Jin, saying, "Here, take this and go comfort your little follower."

Xiao Jin looked at the candy, then looked up at Zhou Kai, and handed him the croissant. "Xiao Jin will trade with you!"

"Little one, you even know about equivalent exchange."

He took the croissant from Xiaojin, and only then did Xiaojin accept the candy.

Zhou Kai weighed the bread in his hand. "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs."

Xiao Jin rummaged through the bag and pulled out a strawberry lollipop, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out, and she mumbled, "Are you Xifan Xiao Jin?"

Zhou Kai lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Jin's fair complexion with a hint of pink and her chubby cheeks.

He reached out and pinched Xiao Jin's soft cheek, saying something that didn't reflect his true feelings:

"Uncle hates kids the most, especially cute kids like you. I could eat five of you in one bite."

Xiao Jin was amused and laughed, holding up her two little fists and saying in a clear voice, "Xiao Jin can eat ten adults like that bad uncle!"

"That's twenty," Zhou Kai scoffed.

He led Xiao Jin toward the elevator. There were many people waiting for the elevator, and they missed the first batch, so they had to continue queuing.

Xiao Jin's watch rang; it was a call from Yun Zi'ang.

As soon as she answered the call, Yun Ziang's anxious voice came through:

"Little Miss, where have you been?!"

"Xiao Jin went to buy you some candy!" Xiao Jin waved her watch and showed the lollipop to Yun Ziang.

"Oh, oh, oh," Yun Ziang breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly realized, "Where would you get the money to buy candy?"

Xiao Jin explained earnestly, "I traded the cow-shaped bag with the bad uncle."

"Bad uncle?" Yun Zi'ang's voice suddenly rose. "What bad uncle? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Wait for me where you are, I'm coming down now!"

"The elevator is almost here," Zhou Kai reminded him from the side.

Xiao Jin let out a soft "Ah," and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore, my dear nephew. Be good and wait for Xiao Jin upstairs."

"Bye-Bye!"

Xiao Jin stretched out a short finger and poked the screen.

Yun Zi'ang's voice disappeared.

Zhou Kai looked at Xiao Jin and said mischievously, "Don't you have a great-nephew?"

Xiao Jin gave Zhou Kai a strange look. "Yeah."

"Where is your great-nephew? Where did he go?" Zhou Kai asked knowingly.

Xiao Jin replied, "They were arrested."

"Oh, how did he get arrested? Aren't you worried about him?" Zhou Kai raised an eyebrow. "Don't you like him?"

Xiao Jin snorted, "I'm not worried about him. He doesn't listen to me, so if he comes out, I'll spank his little bottom!"

Xiao Jin waved her small, rather intimidating hand.

Zhou Kai chuckled. "Do you know why he was arrested?"

Yun Ziqian didn't get a chance to come out, nor did he get a chance to be slapped by her.

Xiao Jin frowned slightly. Zhou Kai thought Xiao Jin didn't know, but to his surprise, Xiao Jin spoke up:

"Bad uncle, why do you keep asking Xiaojin questions that you know the answers to, and that I also know the answers to?"

"You're acting weird."

Zhou Kai paused for a few seconds, as if he hadn't grasped the meaning behind Xiao Jin's words.

Xiao Jin blinked. "Weren't you watching us the whole time?"

Zhou Kai's mind suddenly went blank, and he froze on the spot, staring at Xiao Jin in astonishment.

Has the Yun family found him?

Xiao Jin smiled sweetly at him, her eyes sparkling, and put her index finger to her lips, shushing him softly:

"They don't know."

"Only Xiao Jin knows!"

Zhou Kai looked at the four-year-old child in front of him, who was completely beyond his comprehension.

"Xiao Jin is watching you too, but that bad uncle isn't the person Xiao Jin is looking for." Xiao Jin patted her little chest. "If you can buy Xiao Jin delicious food every day, Xiao Jin can make you her little follower!"

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the first floor and slowly opened.

"The elevator's here!" Xiao Jin, carrying a fox-shaped bag and holding candy, quickly ran inside.

She stood in the elevator and waved to Zhou Kai:

"Your grandnephew Ziqian will be out, don't worry!"

Goodbye, bad uncle!

The elevator doors slowly closed.

Zhou Kai stood there for a long time before he could process what Xiao Jin had said.

"What the hell?" he exclaimed, utterly astonished. "It's actually a little devil."

"How does she know everything?"

How does a little kid know all this?!

With the help of a passerby, Xiao Jin, clutching the candy, returned to her floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw her great-nephew.

Yun Zi'ang paced back and forth in front of the elevator with an expression as if a volcano had erupted and the world was ending.

The moment he saw Xiao Jin, his eyes lit up. He walked over, knelt down, and hugged her tightly, crying out:

"Little miss, you're the naughtiest one!"

"Did that bad uncle do anything to you?"

"Do you know how many people outside want to steal a cute kid like you and take her home?!"

Xiao Jin's face was covered in Yun Ziang's hair. She giggled twice and shook the plastic bag in her hand.

"I'm going to buy you some candy! If you eat candy, your grand-nephew won't be sad anymore!"

Yun Ziang looked at the bag in Xiao Jin's hand, which was filled with colorful candies, and was deeply moved.

The next second, Xiao Jin leaned over and gave Yun Ziang a big kiss on the cheek.

"Mua!"

"Little Jin, let all your sadness fly away!"

In an instant, Yun Ziang felt as if fireworks were exploding before his eyes.

He looked at Xiao Jin with excitement and disbelief.

Xiao Jin smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling, "Ziqian's great-nephew will be released within three days!"

Yun Zi'ang had completely forgotten about his older brother and kept pressing for answers:

"My dear little aunt, I'm still very sad. Please give me one more kiss!"

He even brought his right cheek closer, took out his phone, and wanted to record this great moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin's eyes gleamed with cunning, like a little fox. She took out the lollipop from her mouth and poked Yun Ziang's face, leaving a shiny mark.

Before Yun Ziang could react, he took off running away with his short legs.

"Hey? Little miss, wait for me!"

Yun Ziang grinned foolishly, got up, and chased after him.

In the ward, Yun Mingyi slowly opened his eyes. When he saw his surroundings clearly, he realized that he was in a hospital.

He slowly propped himself up and sat up. Suddenly, the ward door opened, and a small, dark figure rushed in and ran to the bedside.

"Little nephew, you're awake!"

The first thing Yun Mingyi noticed was Xiao Jin's eyes, which shone as if there were stars in them.

Yun Mingyi couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously raised his hand to tidy Xiao Jin's unruly hair. "Why did you run off in such a hurry?"

"Where is Zi'ang?"

Xiao Jin clung to the edge of the bed, trying to climb up.

Yun Mingyi leaned down slightly, supported Xiao Jin's bottom with his hands, and lifted Xiao Jin up.

Xiao Jin climbed onto Yun Mingyi, rammed her head into his chest, and wiped away imaginary sweat, softly saying:

"I'm exhausted!"

Feeling the warmth of her embrace, Yun Mingyi couldn't resist pinching Xiao Jin's fox ears on her head and asking, "Who bought you these clothes?"

"Qiuqiu," Xiaojin said, then suddenly remembered something, took off her fox cub and started searching for it.

A few seconds later, Xiao Jin took out a paper bag and placed it in Yun Mingyi's hand. "This is for my nephew, a Niu Niu bag."

"Super delicious!"

"A croissant?" Yun Mingyi chuckled. He curiously opened the paper bag and found a flattened croissant inside.

Xiao Jin also leaned over to look, her eyes filled with doubt, "This isn't the 'Niu Niu' bun I left for my nephew."

"The cow-shaped bun I left for you was chubby, this one is flat."

Is it because it was flattened that you can't recognize it?

Yun Mingyi couldn't help but let out a few muffled laughs. "It's okay, I like them all."

Xiao Jin frowned, checking her fox-shaped bag for holes, and then searched for her chubby cow-shaped bag.

Yun Zi'ang walked in and, seeing Yun Mingyi already sitting up, his face lit up with joy. "Uncle, you're finally awake!"

He paused for a moment, then turned and ran out, saying, "I'm going to get the doctor!"

"So reckless," Yun Mingyi muttered to himself, then picked up his phone from the bedside table and checked the messages.

He first reviewed the documents and messages sent back by Wang Zan and Attorney Li, quickly getting a general understanding of the current situation.

Then I saw the last message from Wang Zan—Ms. Wen's father had come to claim the body.

Yun Mingyi stared at that sentence for a good ten seconds.

His mind told him to calm down, but a voice inside him was screaming, "How could we be separated by life and death in just a few days?"

Who exactly killed Wen Wen?

His face was solemn when his phone suddenly rang; it was a new message from his family group chat.

Yun Mingyi hesitated for a moment, then raised his finger and clicked to take a look.

It was a message from Yun Ziang, a selfie of his left profile, with the caption:

[Zi'ang: The left cheek that Xiao Jin kissed.]

[Zi'ang: I won't be the first person in our family to receive a kiss from Xiao Jin, will I?]

[Zi'ang: ٩(๑>◡ Everyone who saw this message fell silent.]

Yun Mingyuan, who was extremely busy and overwhelmed: ?

Lying in his hospital bed, waiting for the doctor: ??

Yun Mingyue, whose eyes were getting tired from watching the surveillance footage: ...Are you looking for death?

[Waiting for the flowers to bloom: Haha, let's take a picture and see our little Jin!]

[Waiting for the flowers to bloom: It seems Little Jin likes Zi Ang the most.]

[Yun Mingyue: Who knows what methods were used?!]

Upon seeing this message, Yun Mingyuan angrily shut down his phone, then, still fuming, reopened it, opened the chat window for "Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom," and sent the following message:

[Yuan: Honey, Xiaojin said at dinner yesterday that I'm her favorite person.]

After sending the message, Yun Mingyuan turned off his phone, satisfied.
