Xing Nian lay in bed being emo for a while, then gathered herself together and got up.

Her cell phone rang while she was sitting in the car. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Xing Lang.

Xing Nian answered the phone with some displeasure.

"Hey, what do you want from me?"

"How could you treat your sister like this, you heartless person?"

"Go to the police station immediately and explain to the police that this is just a joke between you two sisters. Ask them to release your sister."

Xing Lang's words were full of favoritism towards Xing Wan, and he showed no concern for Xing Nian at all.

"It seems that in my father's eyes, deliberately destroying a bracelet worth five million is not worth mentioning at all?"

"Or do you think that Xing Wan is blaming me for this, and I should just bear it silently?"

Xing Nian felt deeply disappointed and heartbroken by Xing Lang's unprincipled behavior of protecting Xing Wan.

"Aren't you fine now? Why are you still fussing about it? Go to the police station immediately." Xing Lang had obviously lost his patience.

"If you want to go, go by yourself." Xing Nian refused firmly.

Xing Lang was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the floor and roared, "You little idiot, you are an ungrateful person. I shouldn't have given birth to you and watched you send your sister to prison."

Xing Nian responded coldly: "What sister? My mother didn't give me a sister. And did it take effort for you to give birth to me? My mother worked hard to give birth to me, and you, as a husband, were unfaithful to your marriage and instead had another woman and children outside. How dare you say this to me?" After that, she hung up the phone.

Uncle Wang, who was operating the steering wheel, accidentally captured the conversation between his young lady and her father.

He quietly memorized this conversation and decided to report it to the young master later.

However, Xing Nian did not return to Mengyuan directly, but went to the driving school company instead.

Although she had driven a variety of vehicles across the border, she had never been able to obtain a legal driver's license in the mainland, which made Xing Nian feel a little inconvenient.

Therefore, he decided to get a driver's license as soon as possible.

After completing the registration procedures, Xing Nian returned home to prepare for the upcoming Subject 1 exam.

At this moment, Xing Nian received a call from his senior brother from the distant border line.

"Hey, Junior Sister, did you remember me?"

"Still as unruly as usual." Xing Nian muttered to himself.

"No," she answered simply.

"It seems that after not seeing each other for a while, Junior Sister and I have become estranged."

Xing Nian rolled his eyes slightly on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Okay, senior brother, don't beat around the bush, just tell me what you want from me."

"Why, I can't call you if I'm fine?"

"Of course you can, brother, you can fight whenever you want." Xing Nian replied.

She understood that the senior brother called her because he must have something to ask for.

"Are the two masters quarreling again?" Xing Nian asked tentatively.

Her two masters, one was good at making poisons and the other was good at medicine, and they often argued over their respective expertise.

"Alas, it's the poison made by the master chef. The second chef hasn't solved it yet. Now he's right next to me, acting like a madman."

"Brother, you still dare to stand there and watch. Aren't you afraid that Second Master's scalpel will cut you open?" Xing Nian joked.

"If I'm not watching him, he might even blow the roof off if he goes crazy."

"What kind of poison is it that even Second Master is helpless against it?" Xing Nian showed great interest in this.

In fact, the poison was too good. The main problem was that the antidote made by the second master was missing a very important medicinal ingredient, and this medicinal ingredient could not be found here no matter how hard we tried.

Xing Nian understood that her senior brother called her just to find this herb, and this herb was most likely in the mainland.

Really? Then where is the herb? Do I have to find it?

"Junior sister is really smart." The eldest brother's voice revealed a hint of approval.

"I learned that someone has this herb, but due to some special reasons, this herb is now in the Song family in Kyoto."

When it comes to the Song family, Xing Nian immediately thought of Song Shiyue, the eldest daughter of the Song family whom he had met at the Mu family's old house.

"Okay, I understand. Please send me the pictures of the herbs," she said.

"There is one more thing I need to remind you, Junior Sister. You must act as soon as possible." The eldest brother's tone became serious.

"The Song family has no medical background. I'm worried that they may not take good care of the herb and it may get damaged."

After hanging up the phone, Xing Nian immediately received a picture sent by the senior brother.

She clicked it and saw that it was ice grass.

No wonder the eldest senior brother was in such a hurry. This ice grass grows in the cold snow on the mountains. Only one plant blooms every ten years, and the number is extremely rare.

Moreover, it must be kept at low temperatures after picking. If it is taken by someone who does not understand its characteristics and is not properly stored, it will wither quickly.

Xing Nian quickly turned on the computer and began to investigate all the information about the Song family.

The Song family, like many prominent families in Kyoto, has a long history of prosperity.

As time goes by, the Song family seems to be in a state of decline in recent years, showing signs of going downhill.

Despite this, as a large family in Kyoto, the Song family's reputation and status cannot be ignored.

No matter in which field, people will give the Song family respect and face.

The current head of the family, Song Lan, is Song Shiyue’s mother. She is a rare female leader in power among the major families.

Unlike many families that consolidate their status through marriage, the Song family's way of coming to power is particularly unique.

Song Lan was under tremendous pressure as the president of the Song Group. With her unyielding will, she successfully withstood all kinds of doubts and dissatisfaction from both inside and outside the family. However, the pressure and fatigue also made her physical condition worse.

As a female leader, Song Lan naturally became the focus of dissatisfaction within the family.

Especially in recent years, the Song Group's unsatisfactory development has put Song Lan under tremendous pressure and accusations.

The elders in the family hope to bring more benefits to the family through the marriage of Song Lan's only daughter, Song Shiyue.

However, Song Lan firmly opposed this practice. She was well aware of the disadvantages of marriage alliances and did not want her daughter to repeat her own mistakes.

Long-term stress and fatigue have put a great strain on Song Lan's heart. She is less than 50 years old, but she looks like a person in her 60s.

All of this became opportunities in Xing Nian's eyes.

Xing Nian thought that if he could cure the Song family patriarch's illness, then the possibility of obtaining the Ice Grass would greatly increase.
