Mei Shu and Mei Jing waited in the restaurant near the school for a long time. Mei Feng didn’t arrive until all the dishes were served.

As he sat down, a troubled expression involuntarily appeared on his face. “I’m sorry, Xiao He didn’t want me to leave just now, so it delayed me for a while.”

“Brother, you don’t need to be so polite when talking to us,” Mei Jing said, glancing at Mei Shu’s expression before continuing, “Brother, take a look at these dishes and see if you like them. If you want anything else, feel free to order. Sister said she’s treating us!”

“No need, this is enough.” Mei Feng signaled for a waiter to bring a glass of iced water, then said with a slightly teasing tone, “Didn’t you just say we shouldn’t be polite? Why do 1 feel like you’re being more polite than I am?”

Mei Jing, feeling exposed, scratched his head in annoyance and said, “Brother, isn’t it because it’s been a while since 1 last saw you, and I’m a bit nervous?” “Nervous?” Mei Feng took a sip of the iced water, suppressing his inner frustration, and gave a meaningful smile. “1 don’t think it’s nervousness, maybe it’s guilt? Have you caused any trouble at school during this time?”

“I haven’t! Seriously, I haven’t! Brother, why don’t you believe me?” Mei Jing complained, visibly displeased. “If I’d really gotten into trouble, wouldn’t the teachers have contacted you?”

In recent years, with Mei Shu absent, it was Mei Feng alone who had taken care of his younger brothers.

However, due to his own busy academic life, he couldn’t always be there for them.

His only requirement for his younger brothers was not to stir up trouble, and he overlooked everything else.

He, too, was still an immature child, without the energy to take care of so many people simultaneously.

The two brothers bantered back and forth, and soon, they grew comfortable with each other’s company.

Mei Feng then turned his gaze to Mei Shu, looked down somewhat awkwardly, and called her “sister.”

Even Mei Jing, who was usually quite talkative, suddenly turned into a mute.

Mei Shu, unfazed, commented, “1 thought you were planning never to speak to me.”

Mei Feng self-deprecatingly smiled, “I thought you didn’t want me as your brother anymore.”

Back when their mother had the accident, he had yelled at Mei Shu with all the spiteful words he could imagine.

Looking back, he knew he had acted recklessly.

But spoken words were like water thrown out; once said, they couldn’t be taken back.

Even if he regretted it, he couldn’t pretend nothing had happened in front of Mei Shu. That was why, since Mei Shu’s return, he had never visited the Meis’ home again. He had almost entirely cut ties with his family.

He was afraid that Mei Shu would harbor lasting resentment towards him for what he had done back then.

But what he didn’t know was how guilty Mei Shu felt inside.

Thinking that Mei Feng would come to save her even though he had lost his leg, her eyes welled up with tears. “Xiao Feng, don’t say that. What happened back then wasn’t your fault. If we want to blame someone, it’s that ruthless woman, Wang Yue. She’s the one who caused our mother’s death.”

“What did you say?” Mei Feng stared unbelievably at his sister with red eyes. “Sister, did you just say someone killed our mother?”

As soon as Wang Yue, that woman, was mentioned, Mei Jing indignantly exclaimed, “Brother, we’ve pretty much finished investigating the matter. Our mother’s car accident back then wasn’t an accident at all. She was killed, and the person who was most likely and most eager for her to die was none other than that woman, Wang Yue!”

This time, Mei Shu didn’t wait to speak; Mei Jing was the first to tell Mei Feng everything they had done in detail during this period.

He had only now learned that so much had happened at the Mei family during the time he was away!

Besides caring about the true cause of their mother’s death, he was also concerned about something else.

“Sister, are you okay with the video incident?” Mei Feng deeply regretted not supporting Mei Shu at the Mei family at that time.

Even though she was older than him, she was ultimately still an underage girl. Confronted with such a significant event, she might have been extremely frightened and anxious.

He had always considered himself the one who stood tall and strong in the Meis’ home, but when the crucial moment arrived, he realized he knew nothing at all!

He truly was the most useless brother in the world!

“Xiao Feng, that matter is in the past now. It’s meaningless to dwell on it. We should look ahead. I’ve already formulated a plan.”

Mei Shu wanted to tell Mei Feng everything so that he wouldn’t be manipulated by Wang Yue and her daughter, causing him to lose everything.

Mei Jing was also listening attentively beside them.

Even though they had some leads now, they still lacked crucial evidence.

The next step was going to be a tough battle.

Originally, Mei Jing thought it might not be a good idea to continue investigating this matter. However, after hearing Mei Shu’s plan, he saw a glimmer of hope and was filled with anticipation for the truth to finally come to light.

“Sister, 1 think this plan is feasible! When should we start implementing it?”

“Not so fast. The day after tomorrow in the afternoon, Lin He and Zhou Nan will bring Old Wang to the city and seek refuge with Lin Wei. Once they have settled completely, we’ll make our move to avoid alerting Old Wang..”
