“Shu Yan, watch yourself. If it isn’t for Mom, you think you would have been able to marry Ye Zhiqiang? And that you would have been able to come into so much money if you hadn’t married him? In fact, all these money came because of Mom. Even if you don’t give them all, you have to at least give us half of them. Besides, didn’t you give money to Shu Jianyang? You need to figure out who’s close to you and who’s not. We are your real brothers.” Shu Jianbin, upon hearing Shu Yan’s words, starting getting anxious.
He heard snickering from the other end of the phone. “This was the first I have never heard that when a woman gets a divorce, she needs to give half of her wealth to her brothers. Have you no shame? I am better off without brothers like you. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I only have one brother and that is Shu Jianyang. Besides, I have never given him a dime. He earned his own success. Unless leeches like you. All you know is to leech blood from your sisters.”
Shu Youfu was just about to say something when he was stopped by the cop.
The person that they have sent to contact the City Nan police station had returned and confirmed that they did, indeed, have a Shu Yan in their system.
“Pardon us, Madam Shu. We were able to confirm that you are who you said you are and everything had been straightened out. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.”
“Thank you, Mr. Comrade Cop. And, please do keep my location from my parents.”
“Don’t worry. We shall not divulge your personal information without your consent.” Having said that, they hung up the phone.
“What do you mean by that? Why can’t I find out where my daughter is?” Lin Zixiang immediately asked about Shu Yan’s whereabout after the call had been disconnected; nevertheless, the cops would not share that information.
“She had explicitly asked us not to share that information. As such, we don’t have the right to share that information.” The cop shrugged.
Noticing that Shu Youfu and Shu Jianbin were about to make a fuzz, the cop gave them a solemn look. “This is the police station. Are you sure you want to make a scene here?”
Many people were still afraid of the cops back then. Not to mention that Shu Youfu and Shu Jianbin were the ones who were only crossed in their own territory. Not another peep came out of them after the warning from the police.
“I am taking off if there is nothing else.” Shu Jianyang glanced over at Shu Youfu and the others. Their ties could be considered as severed by this point.
“Sure, just sign here and you are free to go.” They then pulled out another document for Shu Youfu and the others to sign while giving them a lecture. “We will let this one go as it is your first offense. Keep in mind that there are penalties for making phony reports. Now that case has been solved, hurry up and get out.”
“No, about my sister……”
“That’s your family business. Nothing we can do about it.”
Shu Youfu was intimidated the minute that Shu Youfu saw Shu Jianyang waiting for him outside.
“Jianyang, we are just worried about Yanyan. It doesn’t mean anything.”*
Shu Jianyang chuckled at them. “As you are relatives, I will let this go this one time. Do not come looking for me in the city again. I will let our grandparents and my parents know that I will have nothing else to do with you going forward.”
On the other side, Shu Yan, too, was very speechless as she looked at the phone. How could anyone be this shameless? They made a phony police report just for the sake of locating her?
After thinking about it for a little while, Shu Yan picked up the phone and dialed Shu Jianyang, “Third Brother, I have a favor to ask.”
She needed to have this taken care of. She couldn’t stand them popping up and disgusting her from time to time.

Translator’s rambling:
Really? It doesn’t mean anything when you accuse someone of murder? It was just a friendly murder accusation…
