Doing nothing but lying in the courtyard to bask in the sun was a child's tale for her.

At this moment, as she quietly lay on her lounge chair, peering at the sun above through the slits in her fingers, she oddly felt as if everything was a lifetime ago…

Auntie Qiao stood in the distance and watched this scene, the rims of her eyes tearing up.

She originally thought Madam wouldn't change for the rest of her life. Auntie Qiao didn't expect the heavens to finally take pity on Madam for once and send this child to Madam's side.

"Housekeeper Qiao…" A servant approached Auntie Qiao.

The servant was about to continue when Auntie Qiao interrupted, "Quiet down. Madam and Little Young Master are resting."

The servant reported, "Some people from the Arbitration Council are here! They want to see Madam!"

"The Arbitration Council?"

"That's right. It's someone from the law department and they've brought a large group here."

Auntie Qiao had a faint feeling that something was wrong and didn't dare to delay matters, so she swiftly walked toward Yin Yuerong to inform her.

"Madam, someone from the Arbitration Council's law department is suddenly visiting. Their purpose is uncertain," Auntie Qiao said hastily.

Yin Yuerong switched back into her "Director Yin of the Arbitration Council" mode almost instantly and straightened her clothes before standing up. "I'll go and see them."

Then she turned to Tangtang and gently said, "Grandma has visitors to receive. Play by yourself for a little."

"Okay, Grandma." Tangtang docilely nodded and watched Yin Yuerong quickly heading toward the living room.

The guards naturally didn't dare to block the people from the Arbitration Council and could only allow them inside and send someone to inform Yin Yuerong after confirming the ident.i.ty of the visitors.

Inside the living room:

The chief of the Arbitration Council's law department was standing there with his arms behind his back while the staff he brought had locked down all entrances and exits to the villa, their ill intentions apparent.

At the same time, Ah-Zhong stood on the side with his breath held as he concealed the excited and greedy glint in his eyes.

He didn't expect them to come so fast!

However, it wasn't a surprise since the Arbitration Council attached great importance to Qin Zong's case.

Yin Yuerong calmly greeted them. "Pardon me for not going out to meet you, Chief Liu. Ah-Zhong, bring some tea."

"Yes…"

Chief Liu lifted his hand. "Director Yin, no need for the tea. I am here on official business today."

Yin Yuerong narrowed her eyes. "Official business?"

Chief Liu donned a polite smile. "Director Yin, you should know that I've been in charge of Qin Zong's case, but there's a very important account book that we've been unable to find."

Yin Yuerong remained composed. "I do know. What about it?"

When Chief Liu saw that her expression remained unchanged still, his eyes chilled. "Just now, someone anonymously reported that this account book is inside your study. May I ask if there's anything you would like to say, Director Yin?"

Yin Yuerong's gaze flickered before she turned to Chief Liu. "Is Chief Liu joking?"

"Whether I'm joking or not, we'll find out after a search. What do you say, Director Yin?"

"After all, there's no smoke without fire. To prove your innocence, Director Yin, I had to make a personal visit. You'll definitely cooperate with me, right, Director Yin?" Chief Liu spoke beautifully. He didn't offend anyone but also didn't allow anyone to refute him.

Yin Yuerong knew that since Chief Liu paid a personal visit and brought so many people with him, they wouldn't relent until they conducted a thorough search.

The abruptness of this incident didn't give her any room to react. The only thing she could do was allow the other party to search as they desired.
