Lin Jie slept until almost eight at night, only to be awakened by Lin Miao again to get up for dinner.

"Brother, Cai Qi's sleepwalking murder case had its trial today, and there was even a text live stream online. This case has attracted quite a bit of attention from netizens, with many comments,"

With Cai Qi's case entering the trial process, Lin Jie felt that the progress was quite fast.

He drank half a bowl of porridge first, then asked, "Was there a verdict given on the spot?"

Lin Miao shook his head and said, "No, the judge said the verdict would be announced on a later date."

"Brother, do you think Cai Qi really killed in a sleepwalking state, or did she pretend to sleepwalk to commit murder on purpose?"

Lin Jie just laughed and said, "How would I know? What did the psychological expert say during the court session?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao picked up her phone, searched for a while, and said, "The psychological expert who appeared in court is called Tan Wenlan, and her evaluation result is that Cai Qi killed in a sleepwalking state."

Hearing this name again, Lin Jie couldn't help but recall the scene where she frantically lost her composure and asked him to treat her nephew, and he said softly, "She is a very skilled psychological expert. Her evaluation result should be correct."

Lin Miao made a light "oh" sound and said, "Although Chen Liang doesn't deserve to die, after he got married, he spent all day playing games, ignoring household affairs, and even hit his wife. Such a guy doesn't invoke any sympathy at all."

"Nowadays, there are too many people addicted to online games." Lin Jie sighed.

This topic wasn't pleasant, and after talking about it for a few sentences, the three lost interest.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke, "Miaomiao, A-Jie, haven't you noticed that Binhai is particularly hot this year? The highest temperature nearly reached thirty-five degrees; it's almost unbearable for me."

"It's okay! Doesn't feel much hotter; it's about the same as last year, right?"

Lin Miao asked curiously again, "Xiaoxiao, there is central air conditioning in the apartment. You wouldn't have gone out shopping in the middle of the day, right?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Lin Miao and said softly, "I'm not that silly. But, Miaomiao, you and A-Jie used to save money, and unless it was unbearably hot, you guys wouldn't turn on the air conditioner at home, which made you particularly tolerant of heat."

"It's different now; A-Jie can earn a lot of money."

"So..."

She tempted, "Miaomiao, A-Jie, you should enjoy what you deserve. You shouldn't just keep the money in the bank and be reluctant to spend it."

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaoxiao, if you want to say something, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "A-Jie, I ran into Guan Xiaoyue yesterday. She warmly invited me, and you and Miaomiao, to ride a yacht and see the sea scenery."

"I learned that her husband has a medium-sized yacht and is also a director of a yacht club."

She snorted, "I understand, she wants to repay you for treating her son. But since you don't really like this kind of social interaction, I naturally declined her invitation."

"However, her suggestion reminded me..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested, "A-Jie, didn't you ask me to organize an event to invite your students to relax a bit?"

"How about we rent a yacht to go out to sea?"

She said excitedly, "I inquired about it. Renting a luxury yacht that can hold twenty to thirty people costs about twenty to thirty thousand a day."

"The barbecue event we held on the rooftop last time cost about the same amount."

"Riding a yacht out to sea in this hot weather sounds quite refreshing."

Lin Jie pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, it's not possible. They need to take care of the experimental monkeys and can't leave for too long. A yacht trip would take at least a day, including the travel there and back."

"That's too long; the timing isn't suitable."

Thinking that although he and Lin Miao lived not far from the coast in Binhai City, they had only seen the sea and never gone out to sea on a boat.

Lin Jie continued, "Xiaoxiao, and Miaomiao, if you want to go out to sea, you could arrange one of the Wednesday activities to be on a yacht."

"But for the students' activities, Xiaoxiao, you'll need to think of another one."

Zhang Xiaoxiao said dejectedly, "In that case, I'll think about the students' event again."

"However, A-Jie, it's better to keep the Wednesday activities low-key. Once you set the tone high, it's harder to lower it later."

Lin Jie nodded in agreement and remembered something, asking, "Miaomiao, have you and Kemeng decided on where to travel during the summer vacation?"

"Not yet."

Lin Miao happily said, "Kemeng and I found many beautiful places where tourists aren't crowded, but we haven't made a final decision yet."

"Brother, how long can we stay outside on this trip?"

Lin Jie thought of An Kexin's worried face and said, "Kexin's work is intense, and she might not have much time to accompany us. But if she's really busy, she can come back early."

"How about this, you can plan the trip based on staying for a week."

"It's best to choose travel destinations that are conveniently located, with direct high-speed rail or flights."

Lin Miao nodded and said, "I understand. Kemeng and I will consider these points when choosing travel spots."

After dinner, after tidying up the dining area and kitchen, Zhang Xiaoxiao nestled on the sofa watching TV, while Lin Miao leaned against the sofa with a laptop, learning new knowledge with educational software.

Lin Jie went to the study, opened the computer, and had a video call with An Kexin.

As soon as the video connected, An Kexin's concerned voice came through, "A-Jie, have you recovered?"

Lin Jie said softly, "After sleeping all day, I feel much better. By the way, this afternoon, Jiang Lin and his son, as well as Fu Xiuyuan and Fu Wenzhu, came over..."

He recounted the matter of Jiang Lin being the middleman and Fu Xiuyuan's outright rebuttal.

An Kexin chuckled and said, "Fu Xiuyuan wouldn't dare not to take a stand."

"Old Master Fu holds you in high regard. If Fu Xiuyuan didn't respond to Jiang Lin's insinuated threats, Old Master Fu would be quite disappointed with him."

"Fu Xiuyuan's father has average abilities and holds no real power in the Fu Family. Fu Xiuyuan's only pillar of support is Old Master Fu's favor."

Even if Lin Jie had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

From watching some movies and TV shows about wealthy family feuds in the past, he learned one thing: these big families have very deep waters internally and definitely aren't as harmonious as they appear on the surface.

An Kexin continued, "As for the Hu Family, A-Jie, you shouldn't bother with them anymore."

"This Hu Yuanqing, when the Hu Family was doing well, he seemed like a nice person. Given these recent events, it seems his true nature is just like that, really living up to his father's legacy."

Lin Jie said softly, "I'll handle it carefully."

"By the way, how did the talks with Guoxin Company go?"

An Kexin smiled and said, "Father is negotiating with them. We should be able to secure a decent compensation package."

The two chatted affectionately for a while longer, and due to their respective busy schedules, they ended the video call.

At this moment, Lin Jie saw a mail notification and discovered it was an email from Fang Huanru with detailed examination information about Shu Jiaxiang.

Lin Jie skimmed through it and found Shu Jiaxiang's right lower leg to be riddled with holes.

He read this examination information carefully while contemplating Shu Jiaxiang's treatment plan...
