Since this was a bustling downtown area, the police arrived very quickly. Qiao Shiyue was taken to the hospital, while Shen Yunyun and Xu Zimo were brought in for questioning. With the testimony of helpful bystanders, Qiao Shiyue was labeled as suffering from a severe mental illness. The police immediately contacted her guardians, urging them to come as soon as possible. When Qiao Zhenguo learned that Qiao Shiyue had a mental disorder and had nearly attacked someone in public in Goose City, he promptly notified his three sons to bring her back without delay. The Qiao family arrived in Goose City that same afternoon. Upon seeing her family, Qiao Shiyue continued to feign madness and babble nonsense. She was terrified now—there had been so many people at the scene, and plenty of them were recording videos. If those videos got out, she would be despised by the Qiao family. The Qiao family was her safety net; she couldn’t bear to lose them unless absolutely necessary. She still relied on them for support and a comfortable life. Besides, she had just swindled her three brothers, transferring all their money away, and didn’t know how to face them. Now, with her act of madness, they surely wouldn’t pursue the matter. Guo Yuhua had Qiao Pengyu stay behind to handle things while the others took Qiao Shiyue home. Qiao Penghua and Qiao Pengjian had arrived feeling uneasy, given how broke they were now. But seeing their sister in such a deranged state left a bitter taste in their hearts. They stood on either side of Qiao Shiyue, gripping her arms. Qiao Shiyue played her role of madness with precise control, smoothly boarding the plane and flying back to Haicheng overnight. As soon as the plane left Goose City, she suddenly seemed to regain her senses, pretending not to remember anything and asked, “Second Brother, Third Brother, why are you here? How am I on a plane?” “You don’t remember anything?” Qiao Penghua asked with a frown. Qiao Shiyue furrowed her brow, looking around uncertainly, and said, “Wasn’t I at Xinyue Square? I ran into Sister and begged her to come home with me… Where’s Sister? Didn’t she come home with us?” She glanced around as if searching for Shen Yunyun. But when she spotted Qiao Zhenguo and Guo Yuhua in the back row, she visibly froze and asked in disbelief, “Dad, Mom, why are you here too?” Guo Yuhua had just been about to speak when Qiao Penghua cut in. Qiao Zhenguo said, “This isn’t the place to talk. We’ll discuss it at home.” Qiao Shiyue looked around and fell silent. Back at the Qiao family villa, Qiao Shiyue sat nervously on the sofa, glancing at Qiao Zhenguo, then Guo Yuhua, then Qiao Penghua and Qiao Pengjian. “What happened? Why isn’t Big Brother home either?” Guo Yuhua’s heart softened slightly. She took Qiao Shiyue’s hand and asked, “Are you sure you don’t remember anything?” “I ran into Sister at Xinyue Square in Goose City. I was talking to her when I suddenly felt dizzy, and then I blacked out.” Qiao Pengjian pulled out the video Shen Yunyun had sent him and showed it to her. Seeing the video, her expression changed drastically, and she shook her head, sobbing. “That’s not me, it can’t be me. If it were, how could I have no memory of it? I did meet Sister and saw she had a new boyfriend. I was afraid she’d get tricked, so I urged her to bring him home…” As she spoke, she grew more agitated, her eyes reddening. “You say she has another new boyfriend?” Guo Yuhua’s face darkened. “Mm, she’s dating four men at once. I was really worried she’d mess up, so I wanted to persuade her to come back to Haicheng…”
