As ine reflected on the situation, she hummed thoughtfully and remarked, “Initially, she didn’t have enough money to repay all her debts, but it seems Wendy is doing quite well now. The etiquettepany she runs is expanding rapidly. Still, she did lend Souna a bit of support. We’re currently low on funds, so we’re just managing to cover it.”
Jacob inquired, “If we manage to fill in all the gaps, will everything be alright?”
ine replied, “I heard from an older sister a couple of days ago that the document regarding Souna’s non-arrest and non-prosecution seems to have been approved recently. It’s rumored that once it gets the final nod, she’ll be able to go home.”
Charlie Wade interjected, “It should be a decision not to prosecute.”
ine nodded enthusiastically, saying, “Yes, yes, that’s exactly it!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Afterward, she sighed with a hint of dissatisfaction: “Honestly, that wretched Souna deserves to be arrested and sentenced to ten or even eight years.”
Jacob couldn’t help but sigh in response: “Alright, my dear wife, although my mother and my eldest brother’s family have done many terrible things, their lives are already miserable enough. Let’s not wish for theirplete downfall. My eldest brother and Harold are still struggling, and they can’t work to earn any money. Thankfully, Wendy is still managing to bring in some ie; otherwise, their family would be in dire straits.”
Jacob, sensing that he might anger ine by appearing to side with his mother and brother, quickly rified, “I’m not trying to defend them or advocate for their situation. The point is, our lives are improving now, and we shouldn’t wish for others to suffer, as it could jeopardize our own family’s happiness, don’t you agree?”
ine paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and responded earnestly, “Husband, I believe you’re right. Being so involved with them makes me, ine, seem quite small-minded. From now on, we’ll focus on living a grounded life in our own family. I won’t meddle in their affairs; as long as they leave us alone, I won’t interfere with them either.”
Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and quickly praised her, “My wife is truly making wise decisions.”
Feeling a rare sense of embarrassment, ine replied, “Oh, you’re making me blush with yourpliments.”
ine continued, “Today, I need to buy groceries and prepare a meal for our daughter. Let’s leave it at that. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take down all the cuckolds hanging on the balcony and toss them away. I won’t let Christopher upset me anymore.”
Jacob was taken aback and eximed, “Really…?”
He added, “Wow, wife, this change is a bit sudden; I’m still trying to adjust to it…”
ine waved her hand dismissively, “Honestly, I’ve wanted to remove those cuckolds from the balcony for a while. They look terrible, but I was a bit too angry to do it before. Now that you’ve suggested we shouldn’t be like them, I’ve decided to let go of my anger and take them down.”
Jacob sincerely expressed, “Honey, you continue to amaze me…”

Meanwhile, as Charlie Wade’s family drove to the supermarket, Zhou Liangyun, who had traveled through North America and Europe, finally arrived in Aurous Hill.
This time, he entered China with a Nordic passport. Once in the country, he could still use the identity of Zhou Liangyun. Charlie Wade had enlisted the help of Sun Zhidong (Meir), who had extensive connections, to resolve his domestic identity issues. Zhou Liangyun’s previous fake identity had been transformed into a genuine and verifiable record. Upon arriving in Aurous Hill, he just needed to report the loss of his ID card at a police station to obtain a new one in a few days.
As Zhou Liangyun stepped out of Aurous Hill Airport, he felt a mix of emotions.
He had previously declined Charlie Wade’s offer to pick him up. On the one hand, he didn’t want to burden him, and on the other, he hoped to start afresh in Aurous Hill without any lingering dangers.
So, he promptly hailed a taxi and headed to Aurous Hill Antique Street, eager to revisit familiar territory.<fn25d5> Checktest chapters at Find★Novel</fn25d5>
Although he wasn’t originally from Aurous Hill and had lived overseas since childhood, he hade back to bring the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures” to Charlie Wade. His time spent in Aurous Hill made him quite familiar with the area, especially his previous work at Antique Street.
Given that his resume as Zhou Liangyun was closely tied to the antique industry, he nned to return to Antique Street, find amodation there, and look for a modestly priced small shop where he could start his own business.
Once the taxi reached Antique Street, Zhou Liangyun first visited the police station nearby. There, he filled out his identity information, underwent facial recognition, and received a recement legal document for his identity. The police station then issued him a temporary ID card, allowing him to check into a hotel in Aurous Hill without any issues.
