If Yin Yuerong’s heart felt sucked dry of water earlier, as dry as a desert, then Tangtang saying “My grandma is a beautiful and kind-hearted celestial maiden” was like a timely rainfall after a long drought.
A second ago, she felt like she was in hell, but now, she felt like she’d returned to the mortal world.
This was the first time in her life that she felt redeemed.
Merely because Tangtang didn’t hate her…
This thought alone was enough to soothe all the darkness in her heart.
Yin Yuerong gladly listened to it 100 times, but the others had different thoughts.
Chief Liu nearly wanted to vomit blood. This sentence was akin to a devil’s chant that continued to echo in his head still.
Finally, they endured it all the way until Ah-Zhong finished saying it.
The exchange went a little longer—including all of Ah-Zhong’s instructions for Tangtang—and completely solidified his crime of getting Tangtang to put the ledger in Yin Yuerong’s study.
Chief Liu immediately ordered for Ah-Zhong to be captured.
The person who felt most tortured and the most despair was none other Ah-Zhong. As he listened to the entire recording, he was a dumbstruck fool the entire time.
Chief Liu turned to the child and unconsciously treated him like an adult, asking him as an equal, “Can I ask you a question?”
“Please,” Tangtang replied.
“How did you know something was off and why did you start recording from the very beginning?”
Tangtang blinked. “A person who had always been mean to me suddenly secretly sought me out holding candy and toys and smiling like a chrysanthemum. Even a dummy would know something was off, right?”
“Mn… That’s irrefutable.”
Ah-Zhong: “…!!!”
How was that possible?! This little brat realized something was wrong from the very beginning?
Chief Liu asked with intrigue, “Since you knew something was wrong, why didn’t you reject him directly?”
Tangtang calmly explained, “I knew he was up to no good, but I didn’t know what he was doing so I just made the best of it and slowly probed for his objective and also retained evidence as a precaution. Thankfully, I always carry the pen Grandma gave me.
“If I rejected him from the start, he’d definitely think of another method to harm Grandma. That way, wouldn’t my grandma constantly be in danger? I naturally wanted to expose his true nature somehow, but I also needed to ensure my grandma’s safety!”
The little fella said everything matter-of-factly, all but asking: Isn’t that obvious?
Chief Liu cleared his throat. ‘That’s right, that’s right. You’re correct…”
Like father, like son. This child truly was Director Si’s son and Yin Yuerong’s grandson.
Just how stupid was this servant to underestimate and look down on this child?
Chief Liu suddenly realized Yin Yuerong was still handcuffed and quickly ordered, “Ahem, hurry and release Director Yin already!”
His people hastened over and unlocked Yin Yuerong’s shackles.
Meanwhile, all that rang in Yin Yuerong’s ears was the little fella’s resolute voice saying, “I needed to ensure my grandma’s safety…”
Yin Yuerong leaned down. “Tangtang…”
“Grandma!” The little fella dashed over immediately and launched himself into his grandma’s arms. He used his little hand to pat Yin Yuerong’s hair as he comforted her. “Grandma, don’t be scared! Tangtang’s here! Tangtang will protect Grandma!”
Yin Yuerong tightly hugged the little fella and closed her eyes, a teardrop falling down on his body.
Thank you…
Thank you for not hating Grandma…
Thank you for staying here…
This was Chief Liu’s first time seeing such a warm side to Yin Yuerong and chuckled. “Director Yin, you have a good grandson!”
