Now reading: Chapter 988: Target Located from The Magnificent Son-in-law, a Action novel by Rain sounds during the hours of midnight.

"Have you found the person I asked you to look for?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Yes," Ji Liangcai replied, "I'll send you a few photos shortly, see if it's Yu Xiuzhi you asked to find."

Minutes after ending the call, Xiao Feng received three photos.

Opening the first one, it showed a woman in work attire serving a dish to a custor but with only her profile visible.

Xiao Feng wasn't very familiar with Yu Xiuzhi, so he couldn't determine if it was her just by the profile.

Swiping to the second photo, the woman held a pen in her right hand and a notepad in her left, seemingly taking an order.

However, the most crucial part—her face—was still not captured fully, only two-thirds visible.

Xiao Feng frowned, displeased with Ji Liangcai's style of not capturing complete faces in photos.

In so ways, this level of annoyance wasn't much different from soone who always leaves a story incomplete.

Swiping to the third photo, Xiao Feng's expression eased as the "full-face" photo finally erged.

The woman in the photo wore no makeup, her face a bit sallow, but her features were well-defined; with so makeup, she might still have charm.

However, none of that mattered.

What counted was that this woman matched Xiao Feng's impression of Yu Xiuzhi.

Xiao Feng called back, saying, "That's right, she's the person I am looking for. How did you find her?"

"I was just wandering near the address you gave. Later, the... ahem, lady boss in a restaurant took a liking to .

She insisted on taking to her place for a al, and there, I saw a waitress who looked very much like the person in the photo you gave .

So, I sneakily took two photos to make sure it was her."

"You've got skills," Xiao Feng teased.

Little did he know, Ji Liangcai's expression on the other end was worse than crying.

Because the restaurant lady he referred to wasn't the boss's wife but the boss's... mother.

This was sothing Ji Liangcai clearly couldn't voice out, so he shifted back to the main topic, "What should I do next?"

Xiao Feng curbed his playful attitude and said, "Keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't escape. I'll send people over right away to back you up."

After hanging up, he imdiately called Di Junxiong, instructing him to gather people and cross cities to apprehend her.

Rumor had long been circulating that Miao Youmin transferred all his money to Yu Xiuzhi's na, but the truth was otherwise.

Yu Xiuzhi spent her entire youth for Miao Youmin, yet the benefits she received were far from what outsiders imagined, even negligible.

Among those in the know, this was undoubtedly deed worthless and unjust.

However, what is worthy and fair can clearly only be articulated by those involved.

In a slightly empty study room, Song Keren was holding a book, engrossed in her reading.

The only sound in the spacious room was the occasional flutter of pages turning.

Truth be told, during her suspension, Song Keren wasn't all that lonely; it was even rather lively.

In the first week, few calls ca in, and even fewer visitors.

But after a week, seeing Song Keren's side remained quiet, so people's minds began to itch.

Thus, the concern and greeting calls ca in one after another, all from the wealthy and powerful.

Song Keren maintained a calm deanor, fully aware of who they were targeting.

Therefore, on the phone, she neither appeared overly close nor seed deliberately distant.

Dealing with such people was sowhat tedious and boring to her.

Now, with a book in hand and coffee to drink, it provided a unique flavor.

Most importantly, this allowed her to empty her mind, restraining thoughts from wandering.

Just then, her phone vibrated on the table.

Caught in an exciting part, Song Keren couldn't help but frown.

Upon checking the caller ID, her interest in reading dissipated.

Because the caller was... Xiao Feng.

Staring at that familiar na on the screen, Song Keren's fair fingers hovered between "Answer" and "Decline."

Rationality told her that ignoring the call would be best for both parties.

But her emotions kept interfering, making it hard for her to decisively hang up.

In the end, emotion triumphed over rationality, and just before the call automatically disconnected, Song Keren answered.

"Hello, young niece, how have you been?"

The familiar voice, tone, and speaking style...

For a mont, Song Keren felt overwheld with emotion. Why did sothing so familiar feel so strange?

After adjusting her mood, she replied coolly, "Is there sothing you need?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing?" Xiao Feng retorted unhappily.

Song Keren raised her eyebrows slightly, well, sure you can, but have you?

In the past, she might have responded like that, but now she simply said, "If there's nothing, I'll hang up now."

"Actually, there's no big deal, just a heads-up that you'll soon be released."

"Released?" Song Keren thought to herself, I was never locked up.

The restriction period was long over, and without new orders, she was a free person.

Yet during this ti, Song Keren hadn't stepped out.

This was to show her determination, the innocent have nothing to fear and do not shy from any doubts.

"You don't seem very excited?" Xiao Feng chuckled, "Going stir-crazy from confinent?"

Song Keren took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, "I'm a free person, I can go out anyti."

"Oh, then let put it this way, the truth about your 'nepotism and fraud' is about to be revealed."

Upon hearing this, Song Keren couldn't sit still and queried, "How did you find out?"

Although she appeared serene while reading and drinking coffee, her heart wasn't nearly as calm.

Song Keren's character was such that she'd rather give up her badge than bear such groundless accusations.

So, she constantly prepared to face the music, even contemplating investigating herself to clear her na.

Now, hearing that her na was about to be cleared, how could she not care?

Xiao Feng slowly explained, "During the ti you were locked up, I pondered day and night and finally identified a key figure we overlooked.

After relentless effort and pursuit, I've finally tracked down this key figure."

"Who is this key figure?" Song Keren asked, puzzled.

"Yu Xiuzhi."

"Yu Xiuzhi?"

"Yes, her!" Xiao Feng affird, "If there's soone Miao Youmin trusted most within the bureau, it would undoubtedly be Yu Xiuzhi.

Alongside Yu Xiuzhi's job, she could easily be mistaken for a re passerby.

Yet throughout history, it is often these seemingly insignificant individuals who play pivotal roles in major affairs."
