Tingting found herself at a loss for words in response to the question, exchanging a shocked glance with Meng Yu.

Unsure of the nature of Song Yin’s illness, Tingting couldn’t fathom why someone would be restrained like this, equating it to tying up a dog.

Upon observing Song Yin’s clear and spirited eyes, it was evident that she appeared very normal, showing no signs of any illness.

Tingting asserted, “This is illegal imprisonment,” her voice trembling with concern.

Meng Yu realized she couldn’t conceal the truth any longer. Hugging Song Yin tightly, she tearfully explained, “My child, I had no choice but to do this. You’re saying things that could hurt others. I’m afraid you’ll harm someone if you go out.”

However, nobody present believed her. Tingting, despite her impulsive personality, sensed that something was amiss. If Song Yin were genuinely ill, she should be sent to the hospital immediately, not restrained at home.

Gu Zhuo had seen through the ruse, understanding that Song Yin and her daughter were plotting something. Song Fan, not wanting their plan to succeed, urged Tingting to accompany him upstairs.

Playing along, Gu Zhuo exclaimed, “Oh my god, how can they tie people up like this!”

This exaggerated performance caught Song Fan’s attention, though Gu Zhuo’s tone remained as calm as his faux-frightened expression.

Meng Yu, in a panic, tried to cover up the situation. Unaware of Gu Zhuo’s expression, she thought she could deceive the two of them.

“I have no other choice. If news gets out that Yinyin was unconscious, her life will be ruined,” she pleaded, lowering her head. “I’m begging you. Just pretend you didn’t see Yinyin today, okay?”

While sincere, Tingting hesitated. She didn’t want to ruin Song Yin’s life but merely intended to mock her.

However, Gu Zhuo interjected, “I don’t think Song Yin is sick. Is she conscious now?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yin struggled and called out, “Gu Zhuo, Gu Zhuo, save me!”

Song Yin realized that her mother genuinely wanted to portray her as insane, at least in front of outsiders, and shifted the blame for so many years onto her shoulders.

Now, this was her best chance to escape. With Tingting and Gu Zhuo around, she could prove she wasn’t sick. As long as she left this room, she would be free.

Song Yin had already seen her mother’s true colors. She knew that she was just a tool in her heart. She would only have a chance to live if she left.

At just 18 years old, she couldn’t be taken to court. Even if her mother wanted to send her to a mental hospital instead of prison, it was essentially the same.

Gu Zhuo was waiting for Song Yin to say this. He hurriedly approached, pulling Meng Yu away. After all, she wasn’t his elder.

Song Fan took out his dagger and handed it over. Very quickly, he cut the rope, releasing Song Yin. Instinctively, she wanted to jump into Gu Chen’s arms, but in the end, she turned around and returned to Song Fan’s side.

“Your dagger is sharp. Where did you buy it?” Gu Zhuo inquired.

After glancing at the dagger, Song Fan replied, “If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

Delighted, Gu Zhuo pocketed the dagger without sparing a glance for Song Yin.

Caught between emotions, Song Yin turned to Tingting, who seemed equally unsettled. Waving her hands, Tingting assured, “I won’t coax you.”

Meng Yu, recovering from the side, insisted, “Yinyin, you haven’t recovered from your illness yet. You can’t leave this room.”

Understanding the urgency to distance herself from Meng Yu, Song Yin ignored the plea and rushed out.

Despite Meng Yu’s attempts to stop her, Song Yin, fueled by determination, managed to push her away and sprint down the stairs.

Song Yi and his sons walked in at that moment, witnessing the chaotic scene.

Song Yin sought refuge in her father’s arms, urgently pleading, “Dad, save me.

Mom wants to lock me up.”

Though unaware of the details, Song Yi instinctively protected Song Yin.

Meng Yu caught up, panting, attempting to explain, “Hubby, don’t listen to her nonsense. Yinyin is sick and needs to rest in her room. I’m not letting her out

for her good.”

Song Yin, however, shouted, “It’s not like that. I’m very normal. I’d already woken up, but Mom refused to let me out. She even tied me up with a rope..”
