"However, Liu Dongdong remembers everything Lin Si Si supposedly said, yet she doesn't remember when the heavy rain happened that day. She didn't even realize Lin Si Si went out in the afternoon, not the morning."

As soon as she said this, both of them were shocked, feeling chills down their spines.

"Nian Nian, you mean, the disappearance of that 3,000 yuan is really connected to Si Si?"

"Mom, you've watched Lin Si Si grow up. You know better than I do who she's close with and who she isn't," Si Nian said calmly.

That's right.

If Lin Si Si were truly close with Liu Dongdong, wouldn't they have known? Even if they were really good friends, why wouldn't Liu Dongdong know whether Lin Si Si came to see her in the morning or afternoon? And why would she help Lin Si Si lie?

"The disappearance of the 3,000 yuan, could it really be a scheme orchestrated by Lin Si Si?" Mom Lin felt a chill down her spine at the thought.

Si Nian replied calmly, "The truth will come to light, but we need the right opportunity."

Lin Si Si took that 3,000 yuan, causing Si Nian to have to marry Zhou Yue Shen and bringing disgrace to the Lin family, who had raised her for so many years. How could Si Nian let her off easily?

"Mom, let's go to the police station."

At the Si family.

Since the engagement was set, the Si family had been busy preparing for the wedding. The upcoming union with the Fu family significantly elevated their status within the military compound. As a result, more and more people were visiting to offer their congratulations.

Si Father and Si Mother were delighted and generously gave Liu Dongdong a lot of money to prepare more food for the guests. With someone handling the cooking and cleaning, the couple enjoyed their leisure time, taking Lin Si Si shopping for wedding items.

Liu Dongdong finished making dinner and packed up the soup. She then went to her room, changed into a new outfit, and admired her new hairstyle in the mirror. She bit her lip in excitement, feeling pleased with her appearance.

Liu Dongdong was a very clever person with strong adaptability. Although she came from the countryside, she was keen to learn. After moving to the city, she paid close attention to others' fashion styles and invested in herself whenever she had money, quickly finding her own direction.

However, after seeing Si Nian today, she realized what true beauty was. Almost impulsively, she spent money on an outfit identical to Si Nian's and straightened her curly hair to match Si Nian's hairstyle.

Indeed, this style suited her better. She adjusted her hair, grabbed the soup, and headed out.

This was around the time Fu Yang would be coming home from work. Uncle Liu had just driven into the compound.

Through the rearview mirror, he observed Fu Yang's state. For the past few days, their young master had been pushing himself to the limit at work, coming back every day looking utterly exhausted. It was as if something had deeply troubled him.

His complexion was poor, suggesting he had encountered some unpleasant situation.

"Uncle Liu, if you have something to say, just say it." Fu Yang glanced at him with irritation, feeling annoyed at being scrutinized as if he were some fragile object. He impatiently averted his gaze but then noticed something and instinctively looked up.

It was a familiar figure walking away.

"Stop the car," he commanded abruptly.

Uncle Liu slammed on the brakes.
