Before, Ning Wenyan wasn't sent in even though they had evidence against him. I was a bit surprised.

I hid in his arms, crying uncontrollably, murmuring, "I'm scared... Don't come near me."

The police officer next to us couldn't bear it and explained for him, "Don't be afraid. Your brother has been doing business with raw gemstones in another city. He only found out about the situation recently and came back. Rest assured, we have thoroughly investigated, and he knows nothing about the things in your family and has never been involved."

Since she could say this, it already indicated that Ning Wenyan had arranged everything flawlessly. At this point, I had no choice but to follow him.

Gradually, I calmed down with the comfort of the two of them and said with grievance, "Brother, you finally came to save me. I was arrested, but I never saw you. Why were you out for so long?"

Ning Wenyan, somewhat relieved, smiled more gently and said, "Don't be afraid, brother will take you home."

After saying that, he let go of me and went out with the police officer to complete the discharge procedures.

I stared expressionlessly at the light panel by his side.

【Usable skill: Memory Correction: 0/3.】

After being discharged, he took me to a small apartment, and I sat on the sofa, sipping water slowly.

He came out of the bedroom, holding a shapeless black cloth bag in his hand, and asked, "Ayun, do you remember what happened that day? As soon as I came back, I heard that Mom, Dad, and Ning Mi all went in."

I glanced at the black cloth bag, inside of which was a wooden box with a silencer attached, and it was loaded.

No need to doubt, if I say I remember everything, then my fate is eternal rest.

Timidly, I spoke, "I only remember being locked in a cage by the family head. Sister Ami came with a surgical gown, took me away, and tied me back to the operating table."

At this point, I retreated to a corner of the sofa, trembling as if experiencing some mental shock, lips quivering constantly, and body curling up tightly.

Ning Wenyan put down the black cloth bag in his hand and walked cautiously to me, gently brushing his hand over my head.

"Don't be afraid, you're safe now," he assured me.

When I appeared to be a bit more emotionally stable, he finally revealed his true purpose.

"Ayun, here's the thing. Brother doesn't have much money now, and all the cards at home have been frozen. If we don't have any income, we won't have food tomorrow."

I quickly widened my eyes and asked, "What should we do, Brother? Should I go out and deliver takeout?"

He looked at me with reproachful eyes and said, "You haven't fully recovered and need more rest. How about this, let's go to Jade Street tomorrow and see if we can find some small pieces of raw gemstones. At least in this field, we have experience."

My heart sank, as expected, he was unwilling to give up.
