Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian kept a straight face and stared straight ahead at the road, ignoring Lin Tinghan's intentions.

Lin Tinghan reached out and touched her. "What's wrong? Niannian, isn't there anything you want in your heart?"

Si Nian sneered. If Lin Tinghan really wanted to make it up to her...

They wouldn't have known she had a fractured finger and couldn't compete until they found out.

He did that hypocritical thing, making her take a scalpel and cut his finger.

Lin Tinghan chuckled inwardly. "Since you don't want anything, then stay obediently at Jinghe Garden. Once this is all over, I'll bring your mother out so you and your daughter can be reunited. What do you say?"

"Lin Tinghan, I want you to tell the truth. Can you?"

"What truth? Ask away."

"I want to know why Yao Ling's son received treatment at the Lin family hospital so early on. Who arranged for him to be admitted?"

"It wasn't my arrangement."

"Who is that? Is it someone else from the Lin family?"

Lin Tinghan tapped her fingers slightly with her hands resting on her knees.

He said calmly, "It doesn't matter who arranged this anymore. What matters is that as long as we don't use too much, no one will be able to stop me from getting your mother out. Niannian, you don't need to know the process of many things. You just need to see the result."

Before the press conference incident, Si Nian would certainly have agreed with these words.

Because her only goal was Feng He.

As for who it is or who can actually help her, she doesn't care.

But if she accepts Lin Tinghan's help now, then she will have to stay by Lin Tinghan's side.

At the very least, we have to keep up with him until Hengheng successfully returns to the Lin family and is added to the family genealogy.

Moreover, they might not be able to part ways amicably at that time.

Si Nian couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The car continued on its way, and no one spoke inside. For a moment, it was so quiet that Si Nian could hear her own breathing.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Tinghan's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, answered the call, and frowned immediately after hearing what the other person said on the other end.

"Weren't we having a good discussion? Why aren't our people allowed into the lab?!"

Hearing his assistant's reply, Lin Tinghan's face darkened.

He gestured for the driver to stop the phone, then hung up and said to Si Nian, "Niannian, I have some business at the company. You go home first, I'll come back to see you later."

Before Si Nian could reply, Lin Tinghan hurriedly left.

The bodyguards and nannies who had accompanied Si Nian to the hospital also got out of the car behind them and came to the car where Si Nian was sitting.

As Si Nian watched the car door open, just as the nanny was about to get in, Si Nian forcefully pushed the car door open, shoved the nanny aside, and ran out!

The nanny snapped out of her daze and hurriedly chased after her, but Si Nian had already plunged into a shopping mall!

The mall was quite crowded, which conveniently concealed Si Nian's figure.

Si Nian hid in the bathroom for a while, and only after she didn't see anyone chasing her did she tentatively go out to take a look.

He then left the mall immediately and took a taxi to the police station.

The driver was very kind. Seeing that Si Nian was out of breath and in a hurry to go to the police station, and that she had lost her phone and had no cash on her, she asked him if she could leave her contact information first, and that she would transfer money after she got her phone back.

Without hesitation, the driver said, "No need to pay. I'll take you to the police station right now. Don't worry, young lady, this is a society governed by law. The bad guys will definitely be brought to justice!"

Si Nian knew the driver might have misunderstood, but she didn't explain further. After thanking the driver repeatedly, she asked for his contact information and promised to transfer the money to him.

But what Ling Sinian didn't expect was that when she rushed to the police station...

When she explained to the police that Xie Jingyao was not the perpetrator, the police told her that Xie Jingyao had already been released!

"The evidence is insufficient. There are only witness testimonies, and no strong physical evidence has been collected. So, not long after you left, the Xie family's lawyer took him back."

Si Nian listened to the police officer's words and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"However, the injured party insists that Mr. Xie was the one who did it, and we will continue to collect evidence."

"Xie Jingyao is truly innocent; I was the one who injured him..."

Si Nian had only spoken halfway through her sentence.

A police officer standing not far away suddenly walked over to Si Nian and handed her his phone. "Ms. Si, this is your husband's phone call."

Si Nian's heart sank.

She slowly reached out and took the phone. Lin Tinghan's voice came from the other end, "Si Nian, are you that worried about that Xie guy? Even if it means jumping out of the car, you'd rush to the police station to clear his name?"
