"The other party is very crafty, constantly switching virtual IP addresses. Every time they show up, the location is different. The only thing we can lock onto is LA, and that’s only because our tech department spent three days cracking the code," Leader Yuan reported, his brow furrowed.

"As for the other one, we can’t trace it no matter what," he added.

It was rare for the Action Group to be at a loss. The last time they encountered such a situation was three years ago.

Carl lowered his gaze, his voice low and lazy. "Perhaps we should think differently—start by looking into the Adler family’s enemies."

"Enemies of the Adler family?" Leader Yuan immediately grasped the idea. "So, you’re suggesting this is a personal vendetta?"

Carl remained standing, his gaze darkening. "So far, no organization has publicly claimed responsibility for this event. The whistleblower appearing as they did doesn't seem like a simple act of

    Elder Yin observed his grandson's handsome face. "You seem to be in a good mood?"Carl paused, his fingers stilling on the prayer beads. "Do I?"Elder Yin picked up his tea cup. "The house has been stolen, and you're still smiling. If that's not being in a good mood, then what is it? You brat!"Carl knew his grandfather was still upset with him for not taking better care of his health. He poured a cup of tea. "Grandpa, James should have already told you about my recent health status... and some of the people I've met."Elder Yin looked up, refusing to admit anything. "James is your bodyguard. Why would he tell me these details?""You're right, Grandpa," Carl said with a smile.Elder Yin was truly tired of playing this game of cat-and-mouse with his grandson. The Jenkins family was known for being straightforward, except for this troublesome brat of his, who was cunning in all the wrong ways!"Fine, just tell me—who among the peo

    "Those born with an extremely noble fate, such fate is often short-lived."Elder Yin felt a twinge in his heart, but he didn’t stop his grandson. the Cromwell family’s granddaughter had yet to be found, so the decision about marriage would have to wait until they found someone. But to have such an outstanding grandson, yet not a single person to stand by him all these years…Elder Yin sighed deeply, his face showing a rare expression of guilt. "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have…""Grandpa." Carl interrupted him, his dark eyes softening with a hint of warmth. "You know I’ve never blamed you. If the Jenkins family ever needs someone to shoulder a responsibility, I’d rather it be me."Elder Yin, his hand shaking on the dragon-head cane, didn’t speak for a long time. He looked at his grandson, who seemed as clear and radiant as the wind and the moon, and sighed deeply.Everyone admired the Jenki

    Mary immediately stood up, her voice loud and clear, "Mia, what's wrong? Why did you come out by yourself? Where's your teacher?"Mia grabbed her hand and lowered her voice, "Mom, let's talk later when we get back."Mary wasn't stupid. Realizing something had happened, she quickly said to the other wealthy ladies, "This child’s old anemia problem has flared up again. I need to take her back immediately."The other ladies exchanged glances.Did they think they were fools?Anemia? Could it be that Mia was eliminated in advance?Mia, understanding the situation, leaned weakly into Mary's arms, "Mom, I’m a little short of breath, but don’t worry, I haven’t embarrassed you. The consultation is over."With such a big incident, the consultation couldn't possibly continue.It had to be said that Mia was smart, able to quickly assess the situation.Within five minutes, the doors to the inner hall were wide

    "I've told you so many times, that’s not your sister!"Mary seemed to be unable to tolerate having Amelia as a fake daughter any longer, her voice growing louder. "Mia, you’re still young, you don’t understand. Once a person becomes poor, they’ll find a way to stick to you. You say she’s changed? It’s just because she’s trying to make a living."Mia frowned. "But she really knows medicine, and even Old Master Yin came to see her."Mary was taken aback. "You mean the Jenkins family chose her?"Mia bit her lip. "Not exactly. She’s working with the Hart family. It’s their young master who's standing out."Mary sneered, "So she’s attached herself to the Hart family. I underestimated that poor old woman. Now, before she dies, she's willing to use her connections!"Mia's eyes flickered. "So Grandma’s medical skills really are good, right?"Mary snorted, "She’s killed pe

    "Your young master?" Yun Xiao stared in surprise, his eyes widening. "Why would Young Master Jenkins want to see her?"This question made everyone still present turn back in surprise. Did they hear that correctly?Young Master Jenkins? Wanting to see that "fake young lady"?The bodyguard in black spoke curtly: "There are items belonging to the Milton family that need to be returned."Ah, so it’s just about returning something.The others exchanged glances and relaxed. It made sense—there was no way Young Master Jenkins would know a small-town "fake daughter."Henry stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Amelia. "I’m going with her."After all, he had promised to protect her, and he intended to follow through.The bodyguard in black responded stiffly: "Sorry, sir, but Young Master only invited Miss Ye.""I’m not Ye," Amelia said calmly. She pressed a button on her phone in her pocket, her

    After writing, Amelia grabbed the wooden box and walked out the door.As for her handwriting, it was terrible—she didn’t care whether the recipient could read it or not.Sister Wan’s approach was all about surface etiquette.As for Young Master Jenkins… sending a gift, making it seem like he had discovered her.Amelia thought to herself that she would need to avoid this person in the future. But that pen was nice, studded with diamonds.Cultural people, after all, were all about money!Unbeknownst to Carl, his actions had backfired.As soon as Amelia left, he entered, having watched the surveillance footage all afternoon. His handsome face now showed signs of fatigue."Young Master," the bodyguard in black stepped forward, "Miss Cromwell only took the the Heart Herb, nothing else."Miss Cromwell? Carl raised an eyebrow. "Amelia," he murmured to himself. "As in the Amelia of the 'Qin Huai at dusk,

    At 6 p.m., it was rush hour.The streets were filled with cars, though ClearWater Alley was not congested, just full of people chatting casually."Have you heard?""Heard what?""The doctor from the big hospital across the street was arrested.""Oh, it was the Adler family causing trouble again," Emma, who had just returned from buying vegetables, commented. "I think they came to bully Lady Milton last time on purpose!""I think so too! The news said that family is a bunch of parasites. A lot of patients have been taken advantage of by them!""She even suppressed her fellow doctors. Lady Milton must have suffered because of her!"Emma glanced over. "Now you know! Last time, they were all talking in front of Amelia!""Lady Milton has been living here for so long, and nothing ever happened.""Last time, when my stomach hurt, I couldn’t even afford the medication from the big hospital. Lady Milton made me some

    “Amelia!”From a distance, Lady Milton interrupted whatever Amelia was about to say, her face beaming with joy."Tell Qi to bring more water and help Emma and the others soak their feet."Amelia naturally withdrew her hand, smiling lightly. "Alright."She decided to let Qi's matter slide for now—it wasn't urgent. As long as the medicinal herbs were being used frequently, there wouldn’t be any noticeable issues…That night, the aroma of dinner wafted through the alley.It was clear that today had been one of the happiest days for Lady Milton in recent times. She was wearing her reading glasses, gently massaging her neighbors’ shoulders, her hands steady as she worked. Whenever the patient said they felt better, she would follow with a smile.Amelia raised an eyebrow, waiting until Emma and the others had left before she helped Lady Milton to her feet and spoke up. "Grandma, let’s get back to p

    "Still, you should probably avoid talking about her and that man’s affair too much—it’s all about public perception.""Oh, I know," Carrie replied. "It’s just us chatting! Her PR team already released a statement denying everything, but the netizens aren’t buying it. Some media outlets are still camping outside the hospital, trying to confirm if she was really pregnant and got dumped. My friend has always marketed herself as pure and innocent—this scandal needs to be cleaned up ASAP!"She straightened up in her chair."If you can fix this, my friend will definitely send you a huge red envelope!"Mia hesitated for a moment, clearly tempted."No need for that," she finally said, pretending to be selfless. "I just know this has been stressing you out, so I want to help.""Mia, you’re the best!"Carrie blew several kisses into her phone."Be honest, Mia—do you read fortunes or something? Everything you say always comes true!"Mia smirked mysteriously."That’s not something I can discuss."

    "They'll probably try to smooth things over and get the Crawford family to spare her.""But over time, the Cromwell family will grow tired of this constant manipulation. That girl has no idea how miserable her end will be!"The people nearby nodded in agreement."At the very least, we have to acknowledge her abilities for now," one scholar remarked. "Saving Mr.Cromwell proves that her medical skills are indeed impressive."Mr. Crawford scoffed."It was just luck."What he truly coveted was the ancient acupuncture manual his student possessed.If he could get his hands on it, his status would be solidified.After all, when he observed Mia’s needling techniques, her movements were still unrefined.But now, obtaining the book seemed nearly impossible.The Crawford family might have already gotten to it first.Mr. Crawford narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.Meanwhile, Mia rushed back to school, her face pale as a sheet.She had called Uncle Crawford many times, but he never picked up.It

    In social circles, Mia had always maintained the image of an orphan—A narrative designed to highlight her talent.Even when Jackson came looking for her, she claimed he was just a distant cousin.And thanks to this daughter, Jackson managed to climb his way up to a small-time contractor.People’s impression of her was that she was simple, well-mannered, and somewhat pitiful.After all, for a young person new to New York, life wasn’t easy. Some of the older generation naturally wanted to lend her a hand.Who would have thought—she had the Crawford family backing her all along?But now, the Crawford family was clearly trying to distance themselves from the Adler family scandal, treating her like a discarded pawn.The scholars exchanged glances and subtly stepped away from her.Evelyn was still under investigation in LA.Once upon a time, Mr. Adler had been highly respected in New York’s medical circles—now, he wasn’t even allowed to leave his courtyard.And don’t think the storm has pa

    Today, if Mia’s reputation collapsed, the Crawford family would have a much harder time manipulating things behind the scenes.That was why Ernest stepped forward.He glanced at Secretary Frank, then at Amelia."Since things have come to this, why not show some mercy?" He spoke with a seemingly benevolent tone. "After all, you are in the medical field too. A true healer has a compassionate heart. Just because you saved Mr.Cromwell doesn’t mean you should completely cut off another doctor’s path."Amelia was sharp.Just by looking at his face, she could immediately match him to the information she had read.Seeing that the Crawford family couldn't resist jumping out, her eyes held a hint of amusement."I was wondering who had the power to whitewash Evelyn’s apprentice," she mused, "turns out it’s the Crawford family."One sentence—Ernest’s expression turned dark."Young lady, you should speak with evidence.""Mia’s mother’s surname is Crawford," Amelia said casually. "She’s already in

    Mr. Hart had never seen a young person with such a thick skin before.When he got home, he was definitely going to beat his grandson!What kind of friends was he making?!(Denis: Achoo! The weather dropped just like that. Guess it’s time to ask Grandpa for some money to buy a down jacket.)Denis had no idea that his so-called "fairy-like" Mia had just put on an entire tea ceremony performance for his grandfather in front of everyone.Given Mr. Hart’s status, it was beneath him to continue engaging with her.Pushing the issue further would be undignified.Mia had bet on this.Mr. Hart was a respected elder in the medical field, a man of scholarly integrity.In this situation, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to argue with her.That’s why she played this card.But she miscalculated one thing—And that was Amelia.It didn’t matter what kind of tea tactics Mia tried—Amelia could spill the tea right back."So, according to you, you were 'forced' to become Evelyn’s apprentice?" Amelia smi

    After all, even with Mia’s impressive acupuncture skills, there were still illnesses she couldn’t treat.Sometimes, she even made mistakes.The only explanation Dave could come up with was that his old friend was exaggerating to help his disciple transfer schools.Thinking himself witty, he said, “Peter, you want to promote the younger generation, but you don’t have to go as far as giving her the credit.”"Give her credit? Secretary Frank is right here. Do you think I could just 'give' credit like that?"Mr. Hart remained upright and righteous as he turned to Mia, who was deliberately trying to lower her presence."Your student once apprenticed under Evelyn Adler. She should know exactly who saved Mr. Cromwell."Mr. Hart had never intended to put a junior on the spot.That’s why, when he first saw Mia, he had said nothing.But every single word she spoke was aimed at stepping on Amelia, belittling her as if she was worthless.He could no longer tolerate it."Amelia had the highest lev

    "Secretary Frank, it’s really been a long time! The last time we met was in Mr. Cromwell’s office."Dave’s attempt to curry favor was blatantly obvious.But Secretary Frank didn’t extend his hand, only giving him a brief glance.Dave didn’t mind the cold attitude, instead eagerly trying to find a topic of conversation. "So, what brings you here?""I’m here to pick up Peter." After deciphering Amelia’s silent cue, Secretary Frank ignored the old scholar and walked straight to Mr. Hart. "Peter, Mr. Cromwell knew you were meeting an old friend today, so he specifically instructed me not to show up too early. He wanted you to finish your business first before bringing you to the Cromwell estate. Ever since parting ways in LA, Mr. Cromwell has been thinking about you."The moment these words fell—The entire room went dead silent.Secretary Frank’s demeanor was like an invisible slap, landing hard on their faces.Dave visibly stiffened.Those who had been loudly accusing Amelia and Mr. Har

    "Time really spares no one, huh? Even the rule-abiding Peter finds himself in a difficult spot now."The elderly scholar patted Mr. Hart on the shoulder."Peter, we’re both getting on in years. My memory isn’t what it used to be—I completely forgot we had an appointment. And honestly, this isn’t the right place to discuss your junior’s school transfer.""Transfer?" Mia feigned surprise. "Mr. Hart, Sister’s grades wouldn’t allow for a transfer, would they? Hasn’t she always studied at your vocational school?"As soon as she said this, many scholars turned to look their way.The elderly scholar made no move to stop her.Mr. Hart instantly understood what was happening, and his heart sank.Before coming here, he had reassured Amelia that everything would be fine.But now, even an old friend had become unrecognizable.Amelia, ever perceptive, knew that anything Mr. Hart said now would only invite further ridicule. She spoke up herself:"Mr. Hart, out of old friendship, you turned down an

    At the Special Cases Meeting—Several investigators were reviewing Rowan on the screen."Boss sent this guy?""Yeah, Boss said he’s special and could help with the case.""When is Boss coming back?""After stabilizing their studies.""Their studies? You’re joking, right? What does Boss need school for?""Don’t believe me? See for yourself."The room fell into silence as everyone stared at the chat logs.What kind of force could actually make their Boss go to school?No need to ask—the answer was social obligations.Meanwhile, Amelia had been waiting at the bookstore near the school with Mr. Hart.Their appointment was for 2 PM. It was already 4 PM, yet the other party still hadn’t shown up.Mr. Hart had finished his tea and was about to send a follow-up message when a group of scholarly-looking individuals entered.One elderly man at the front chuckled, "I must say, I’m very pleased with my student. Even Mr. Fisher praises her—says she’s a prodigy at acupuncture and sharp in analyzing
