Song Ting comfortingly patted her arm but didn’t say anything more. Song Yin believed that the servant had already confessed to the act, so she intentionally approached Song Fan and remarked, “Sister, I can finally prove my innocence now.”

Song Fan lowered her gaze and responded, “You’re innocent because I didn’t hold it against you.”

With that, she departed with Qi Shuo, ignoring the bewildered Song Yin, who stood still.

Unaware of Song Fan’s prior questioning of the servant, Song Yin assumed that the blame had been successfully shifted. She approached Song Ting and tearfully exclaimed, “Big Brother, Sister misunderstood me. I don’t know who posted that thread.”

Song Kai glanced at the crying Song Yin and sighed. “You should thank Song

Fan for not making a fuss. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be out of there now.”

Song Yin, perplexed, tugged at Song Ting’s sleeve and asked, “Big Brother, what does Fourth Brother mean? Does he still think I posted that thread?” Song Ting pushed her hand away and responded, “You should ask yourself that.”

Song Ting wasn’t a fool. From Song Fan’s questioning of the servant, he could tell that this was a rather clumsy plot to shift blame, and it had only been implemented today.

However, Song Fan chose to feign ignorance. All he could do was go along with her act, as she was the victim in this situation. Song Ting believed that she must have further plans in store.

The suspicion of Song Yin grew exponentially. He was almost certain that this matter had something to do with Song Yin, and it was unsettling to see her pretending to be pitiful.

Song Ting instructed someone to ensure Song Yin’s safe return home and left. Song Kai, on his motorcycle, departed for school without offering any comfort to Song Yin.

In disbelief, she asked, “Fourth Brother, can you accompany me home? I’m quite scared right now.”

“I’m quite frightened too,” Song Kai replied as he put on his helmet. “That’s why I’m leaving first.”

Ever since Song Yin had taken his place at the banquet, Song Kai had become more cautious. He believed that Song Yin was no longer the gentle and obedient sister she used to be, so he chose to keep his distance.

As Song Kai rode away on his motorcycle, Song Yin stamped her foot in frustration. Why had her two brothers suddenly changed? They used to be so obedient to her.

After temporarily settling the matter at the police station, Song Fan and Qi Shuo went to Phoenix Restaurant for dinner. Duan Feng quickly prepared a table of delicious dishes and inquired, “Did Song Yin admit to it?”

“No, she hasn’t,” Qi Shuo replied. “Instead, they’ve pushed a servant to take the blame.”

Duan Feng appeared taken aback. “Didn’t you continue to pursue the matter?”

Song Fan shook her head and replied, “Continuing the investigation would be futile. There’s no concrete evidence to prove that Song Yin was behind this. It’s better to close the case for now and let them lower their guard. I have a backup plan in place. I naturally know what to do. Thank you for your support, Brother

Duan.”

Duan Feng nodded and said, “Xiao Fan has never been one to worry. Since you have a plan, we’ll follow your lead. If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”

Song Fan smiled and responded, “Just having this meal with Brother Duan is already a tremendous help. I’ll feel rejuvenated after we eat.”

Upon observing their close interaction, Qi Shuo inquired, “I’ve been to Phoenix Restaurant many times, but I’ve only met Head Chef Duan a few times. I didn’t realize that Miss Song and Head Chef Duan were such good friends. When did you two first meet?”

Song Fan, aware that Qi Shuo was a friend of Gu Chen and didn’t want to reveal too much, responded before Duan Feng could, “It’s nothing special. We crossed paths and became friends over time.”

After hearing Song Fan’s answer, Duan Feng chimed in, “Exactly, it’s just one of those things.”

Qi Shuo sensed that the two of them didn’t want to elaborate on the matter, so he took a sip of his soup and didn’t press further.

News of Song Fan’s lawsuit against the person who spread the rumors quickly circulated the school. Many students who had commented on the post became anxious, fearing that they might be sued.

However, some students downplayed the situation. Student A stood at the classroom door and commented, “I’ve already sent someone to the police station to inquire. The IP address used for the rumor post belongs to the Song residence. The rumor-starters were from the Song family. What’s there to be afraid of? Is she going to sue her own family?”

Student B, nearby, pulled Student A aside and whispered, “Don’t talk about this here. Didn’t you hear? Song Yin went to the police station yesterday.”

This revelation shocked the students. They hadn’t expected Song Yin to be involved with this. They gathered around and asked, “What happened? Why did she end up at the police station?”
