“Are you sure?” Song Fan asked, somewhat skeptical.

Meng Xia nodded vigorously from her hospital bed. “I’m sure, really. Her face looks almost the same, though it seems like she hasn’t fully recovered from the surgery.”

Thinking about how Xu Wen’s face had seemed a bit odd, Song Fan didn’t find it too unusual. Considering the extent of her injuries, Xu Wen’s current appearance was quite impressive.

Song Fan still had her doubts but didn’t press further. Xu Wen had returned to A City after such a long time; if she made any move, she would surely slip up.

Seeing Song Fan’s silence, Meng Xia thought she didn’t believe her and quickly explained, “You have to believe me, I really didn’t know about this. Even if I’m not Mrs. Brown yet, once the child is born, I won’t be short of money. Why would I take such a risk?”

“So, you think Meng Yu set you up too?” Song Fan’s sudden question caught Meng Xia off guard, but she nodded earnestly.

“When Charlie gave me the store, I put it in my own name. She was quite unhappy about that,” Meng Xia said, trailing off, knowing that Song Fan was smart enough to understand the implications.

Song Fan nodded and asked a few more questions about Meng Xia’s current condition. Once the doctor confirmed Meng Xia was fine, they went home together.

As soon as she got back to her room, Song Fan opened her computer. The jewelry had gone missing right under her nose, and besides being a potential insurance scam, it seemed aimed at her.

Though the new brand hadn’t started its promotion, news about the incident was already spreading online. She needed to find the person behind this and wouldn’t let them off easily.

Investigating Xu Wen surprised Song Fan. The scars were severe, but Xu Wen had managed to get skin grafts and recover quickly. This wasn’t something she had expected, but considering the Xu family could afford top-notch medical care, she didn’t dwell on it.

She did, however, find something interesting. Two weeks ago, Xu Wen had contacted an overseas jewelry forger. This forger was notorious for collaborating with theft gangs and had stolen a diamond necklace from a noble family in F Country. Song Fan’s mercenary team had once captured him.

Knowing this, Song Fan quickly found the transaction records. Xu Wen had spent $100,000 on a professionally forged ruby necklace, fooling even domestic insurance companies.

Considering Xu Wen’s intentions, Song Fan scoffed. It seemed Xu Wen just couldn’t bear to see her doing well.

“Slap!” Xu Wen, who had just recovered, was slapped hard. Xia Yu wiped his hand with Xu Wen’s coat, his face expressionless.

“I told you not to provoke Song Fan. Why can’t you remember?” Xia Yu looked at Xu Wen, who was on the floor, with disgust.

Xu Wen immediately knelt, covering her face. She had worked so hard to get it back and couldn’t afford to lose it again.

“I-I didn’t. You must be mistaken,” she stammered, knowing she couldn’t admit to anything, or she would surely be punished.

Recalling the call from his boss, Xia Yu irritably kicked her. “Fool! Do you think no one knows what you’ve done? Especially since you chose to collaborate with your idiot mother. Birds of a feather, indeed.”

Xu Wen didn’t dare look up, her mind racing. She had retrieved the necklace; what could Meng Yu do now?

But Xia Yu had already guessed her thoughts and scoffed. “Meng Yu insured the necklace heavily and has already called the police. The police!”

He jabbed his finger at Xu Wen’s forehead. “If the necklace is missing, the insurance company has to pay billions. The police are thrilled. The biggest theft case in over a decade! Do you think they won’t investigate thoroughly?”

Looking at the foolish woman in front of him, Xia Yu seethed with anger. They had to operate in secrecy, but Xu Wen’s actions might attract government attention, ruining everything.

“This…this can’t be,” Xu Wen muttered, finally lifting her head in disbelief.

She quickly realized Meng Yu, despite her hatred for Song Fan, wouldn’t miss a chance to get billions and frame Song Fan. Xu Wen silently cursed her mother.

“Your identity…” Xia Yu’s voice was icy.

Xu Wen shook her head quickly. “No, she doesn’t know. I’m just Xu Wen! My identity won’t be exposed.”

Xia Yu’s expression softened slightly. “Smart move. Now, I have a task for you. Complete it, and you’ll get the antidote.”
