After listening to An Jing, Su Changyi finally said, "Let Yi Mi handle the collection. You should avoid going to Lin Anjing’s neighborhood; if Lin Jiecheng and the others find out you went there, they’ll definitely block you."

An Jing laughed, "I’ll just invite some neighbors for tea. I have their numbers, so there’s really no need to go to that neighborhood. Besides, even if I go, with you by my side, even if they bring a crowd to block me, I’m not afraid." They were literally together every moment now.

Upon hearing this, Su Changyi’s mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

"While there’s nothing much happening at the company these days, let’s get this done," An Jing suggested.

"Alright," Su Changyi agreed.

An Jing then called each neighbor whose phone number she knew, inviting them to a tea restaurant in downtown S city for afternoon tea the following day.

Meanwhile, Su Changyi called Lu Yimi to ask him to book the entire tea restaurant for the afternoon.

The next day at two-thirty in the afternoon, nine neighbors arrived at the tea restaurant. Among these nine neighbors were Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu.

Since Su Changyi is frequently in the news, being from the same city, Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu immediately recognized him upon seeing him.

The two weren’t foolish, immediately connecting their sons’ recent quick promotions to managers in Su Group’s branch companies to An Jing’s efforts behind the scenes; they were very grateful to An Jing.

Now, with An Jing asking them to help gather evidence, of course they agreed without hesitation.

Even the other neighbors, who hadn’t received any favors from An Jing, had a strong sense of justice and couldn’t stand Lin Jiecheng and the others’ actions. Now, with An Jing resolved to gather evidence to deal with Lin Jiecheng and his crew, they readily agreed to help, even stating if the time comes, they would testify for An Jing in court.

However, with Su Changyi present, a significant figure whom the neighbors had never seen in their lives, they ate their afternoon tea quite uneasily. Observing their discomfort, An Jing decided to pack an afternoon tea for each person and asked them to take it home.

The neighbors initially refused to accept, but An Jing enthusiastically insisted, suggesting they bring it home for their children. Only then did they accept.

In just three days, An Jing and Su Changyi collected all the evidence, ready for Lin Jiecheng and his crew to make their move.

Lin Jiecheng, Wu Meifeng, and Lin Anrou waited for two days but noticed Su Changyi wasn’t responding to private messages. Impatient, Lin Anrou sent private messages to Su Group’s official Weibo, and after two more days, the official account still hadn’t replied.

All three were quite angry but dared not escalate the matter. After all, Su Changyi was a prominent figure; if he were angered, with his influence in S city, they would be banished from the city.

Still, the three were racking their brains for solutions. Surely, they couldn’t let that brat Lin Anjing enjoy the good life while they continued enduring hardships; after all, they were her family.

...

Having gathered the evidence, An Jing and Su Changyi went to work for another two days, and then it was Saturday—a day off. Yet, neither planned to go anywhere, choosing instead to stay home.

The family had lunch together, and An Jing and Su Changyi returned to their room, intending to take a nap. However, An Baobei burst in, particularly excited.
