“What was it?” Song Ting inquired further, his tone unchanged.

These questions had been asked before, and Song Yin was bewildered by why her brother was revisiting them now.

She nervously recollected her past answer and replied, “It was a small bottle filled with liquid. I didn’t know what it was, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. It was only when Fourth Brother was rushed to the hospital that I realized something might be wrong.”

Song Ting continued, “What color was it?”

“I don’t remember,” Song Yin stammered, her voice trembling with fear. “It was a very frightening experience. I still get scared when I think about it. Fourth Brother almost left us.” Her eyes welled up with tears, and she began to cry uncontrollably.

She really couldn’t remember what she had said at that time. She had never witnessed the incident herself, so her memorization of the details was likely based on hearsay. This made her hesitant about providing precise answers to her brother’s questions.

This emotional display was unusual for Song Yin, and it seemed to go unnoticed by Song Ting. He responded coldly, “I was just asking. You can go back now.”

This cold response frightened Song Yin even more because Song Ting had always been protective and caring toward his family members. However, he seemed indifferent to her tears now.

While Song Ting maintained a reserved demeanor, he still held a deep sense of responsibility and care for his family members.

Being part of the family meant receiving his protection and occasional favoritism. In the past, Song Ting would console her whenever she was upset, but now, he simply asked her to leave.

Returning to her room, Song Yin couldn’t shake off her growing anxiety. Had Song Ting somehow discovered the truth about the past incident?

The mere thought sent shivers down her spine. Driven by fear, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. “I’m willing to add another $100,000, but you must ensure success!” She emphasized her point with urgency.

As for the matters unfolding in the Song Family, they were now beyond Song Fan’s concern. The family members could do as they pleased, and she had distanced herself from their affairs. Since it was a weekend, she decided to pay a visit to her godmother.

She had just reached the top floor when she saw Wang Rou admiring the flowers. She wanted to go over and give her a surprise, but then she noticed a man who was nearly fifty years old standing beside Wang Rou.

He was looking at Wang Rou with a gentle smile, and Wang Rou reciprocated with a warm smile. However, Song Fan frowned upon witnessing this scene.

She had already investigated the VIP list of this hospital and knew the identity of the man standing before her. He was Director Zhang, a shareholder of the Gu Corporation, who supported Gu Chen’s second uncle.

Song Fan couldn’t fathom why someone like him would spend time with her godmother. There had to be another motive, and she mulled over several possibilities.

Just as she was brainstorming, Wang Rou noticed her and said, “Why are you just standing there? I have prepared your favorite snacks for you.”

Director Zhang smiled and then looked at Song Fan. “This must be the goddaughter you mentioned earlier. What a beautiful girl.’

When she heard Song Fan was being praised, Wang Rou smiled like a blossom flower. “This child doesn’t like to dress up. No matter what I say, it’s useless.”

Director Zhang offered more compliments. “Young people should be energetic like this. There’s no need to put on heavy makeup.”

Their exchange of flattery was beginning to grate on Song Fan’s nerves. As the target of their flattery, she couldn’t take it any longer.

She quickly interjected, “Godmother, I brought you something. I’ll put it in your room first.”

Director Zhang promptly suggested, “Then, you and your daughter can have a chat. I won’t stay to interrupt.”

Once they were back in the room, Song Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Godmother, how did you meet him?”

Wang Rou replied, “I enjoy going there to look at the flowers, and it’s inevitable to run into him since he stays on this floor. Surprisingly, we struck up a good conversation, and we often go there to enjoy the flowers together.”

Song Fan pressed further, “Does Godmother know what he does for a living?”

Wang Rou didn’t quite understand why Song Fan was inquiring about this, but she answered, “He mentioned he’s in business, but now that he’s older, he’s delegated most of his responsibilities to others.”

Song Fan couldn’t help but scoff at this statement. If he had genuinely delegated his responsibilities, he wouldn’t be meddling in the Gu Corporation’s affairs. Currently, he was supporting the second uncle in his quest to seize power, causing turmoil within the company.

While this was not public knowledge, Song Fan, as a hacker, had access to inside information.

“Godmother, he’s not an ordinary person. It’s best for you to keep your distance from him in the future,” Song Fan advised.

Wang Rou appeared puzzled. “Is something wrong with him?”

Song Fan realized she needed a compelling reason to heed her advice. She explained, “He’s a major shareholder of the Gu Corporation and supports the second uncle, who’s trying to take control of the Gu Family. Just two days ago, there was a shootout at the Gu Family’s banquet. I suspect they were involved, and I was present during the incident..”
