“How did you know?” Jiang Zeyu was shocked. “Am I that obvious?”

Jiang Xingyi nodded and explained, “Your whole face says ‘come and ask me, please.

“Idiot,” Jiang Zeyu said with disdain, “I didn’t say ‘please.’ Don’t assume.”

“Okay, then I won’t ask.” Jiang Xingyi wasn’t too curious about Jiang Zeyu’s private affairs. After all, everyone had a delusional younger brother.

He wasn’t interested and was about to go take a rest when Jiang Zeyu stopped him.

“You really don’t want to know?” Jiang Zeyu said mysteriously, “If you don’t ask, you’ll regret it in the future.”

“Why are you being so weird today…” Jiang Xingyi complained and said reluctantly, “Fine, go ahead. I’m just dying to know.”

Jiang Xingyi’s perfunctory attitude didn’t anger Jiang Zeyu. After all, he really wanted to gripe and complain.

“I’m telling you.” He opened the door and pointed upstairs. “Those two are hiding something from us.’ “You mean Big Brother and Second Brother?”

Jiang Zeyu nodded vigorously. “Yes, and it must be related to Little Sister!”

Jiang Xingyi’s expression became serious. “What do you mean?”

Jiang Zeyu was fuming. “I heard Second Brother say that he will be at the hospital tomorrow. There must be some new development, but they’re hiding it from us. I asked him about it, but he refused to answer. D*mn him!”

Jiang Xingyi frowned.

Just like what Jiang Zeyu had guessed, Jiang Xingyi knew that if Jiang Jingnian didn’t want to tell them, it meant that he wasn’t confident. He didn’t want to give them false hope. However, just like Jiang Zeyu’s complaints, they would never get tired of untrue news. As long as it was related to Jiang Yu, they were willing to go through fire and water for even the slightest bit of hope.

“When did he say he’ll be there?” Jiang Xingyi asked.

“Tomorrow morning. I didn’t hear the exact time though.”

This bit of news was enough.

Jiang Xingyi shrugged and said, “Then we’ll just keep watch in the morning.”

“When are you going to get up? Four? Five?” Jiang Zeyu asked.

Jiang Xingyi revealed an enigmatic smile as he put an arm around Jiang Zeyu’s shoulder and led him out of the room. He even ruffled Jiang Zeyu’s hair.

“You idiot.”

Why would they stand guard here when they could just stand guard at the hospital?

The next day, when Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Jingnian arrived at the hospital, they saw two people waiting in the ward.

Jiang Chenglang was angry and amused at the same time. With a glance, he knew that it was Jiang Zeyu the big mouth who had spilled everything, but this idea was obviously Jiang Xingyi’s.

Jiang Zeyu didn’t have the IQ to cook up such a plan.

Fortunately, Jiang Zeyu couldn’t hear Jiang Chenglang’s thoughts. He was acting like, “Look, you can’t shake me off now. And you were so smug.”.

Jiang Jingnian felt exasperated. He hadn’t wanted them to spend the effort to come here, but since they were already here, it wasn’t good to chase them out now. He could only say, “This is just a preliminary idea of mine. Since you’re here, let’s all come up with ideas.”

Jiang Zeyu nodded crazily. “I’m the best at coming up with ideas.”

Jiang Jingnian fell silent.

However, Jiang Chenglang continued, “If you have any questions, don’t bring them up for now. We’ll explain to you later.”

Jiang Xingyi felt that this was unreasonable. Since they were asked to come up with ideas, why couldn’t they say anything if they had any questions?

Moreover, how were these two eldest brothers of his so sure that they might not understand?

Were they really hiding something from them?

Feng Linbai’s temporary office was empty. Not even Ke Yanbin was there.

When the four of them entered, Jiang Chenglang did not waste any time and went straight to the point. “According to our conversation yesterday, we’ve already selected a few hypnotists. Here’s the list. Take a look. I believe you’re prepared. If you have any thoughts, feel free to voice them.”

The amount of information in that alone was too much, and Jiang Zeyu’s little brain couldn’t wrap around it.

Wait a minute…

What?

Hypnotist?

Why did Jiang Chenglang seek out a hypnotist?

Besides, wasn’t Jiang Yu asleep? How could she be hypnotized?

Jiang Zeyu had a lot of questions, and Jiang Xingyi wasn’t much better.

Jiang Xingyi watched the interaction between Jiang Chenglang and Feng Linbai and felt that something wasn’t right.

Feng Linbai looked at the name list expressionlessly. “It’s similar to what I expected. These people are indeed the best in the industry, but…”

He paused and said calmly, “I’m afraid that the walls of my mind are very high. I might disappoint you.”

Jiang Jingnian said, “We have to try. Thank you for cooperating with us.”

Feng Linbai nodded. “It’s my job.”

Hearing them discuss the follow-up schedule and some preparatory work, Jiang Zeyu was even more at a loss.

Why were they making an appointment with Feng Linbai?

Wasn’t Jiang Yu right here? Did they need Feng Linbai’s approval to make an appointment to hypnotize her?

They were clearly Jiang Yu’s legitimate blood relatives!

He was just about to utter his doubts when Jiang Xingyi covered his mouth.

Jiang Xingyi was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood what Jiang Chenglang’s exhortation meant. They had come here for Feng Linbai. He was the person they wanted to hypnotize. He recalled Jiang Yu’s abnormal behavior after she got drunk that time. He understood that Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Jingnian were planning to use this as a breakthrough point. It was indeed a good idea.

Seeing that the conversation had ended and the date had been set, Jiang Zeyu blinked at Jiang Chenglang and the others, then turned to look at Jiang Xingyi. He had a feeling that everyone understood what was going on, and he was the only one who didn’t.

Jiang Zeyu pursed his lips. After following his brothers out of the hospital, he got into the car and asked impatiently, “What the hell is going on? What trick did you guys come up with? Hypnosis? Is hypnosis useful? Can it cure Jiang Yu?”

Jiang Xingyi pursed his lips and swallowed the words “why did you hide this from us.” Instead, he said worriedly, “Using Feng Linbai as a breakthrough point makes me feel uneasy.”

Jiang Chenglang didn’t even turn his head and admitted, “Me too.”

Jiang Jingnian then added, “But this is the only option we have.”

Jiang Zeyu blurted out, “Huh???”

What kind of charade were they playing? He was even more confused now. Jiang Zeyu’s little brain went haywire. Jiang Chenglang sighed. “Here’s the story…”

As the eldest brother, Jiang Chenglang was much more patient than the other two. He recounted what had happened after Jiang Yu got drunk, and the fog started to clear from Jiang Zeryu’s mind.

So that’s what’s going on! Ah, how could this be? What else could Jiang Yu and that wolf have to do with each other? But neither of them could remember. No matter how stupid Jiang Zeyu was, he knew that Jiang Yu had been with Uncle An for the past dozen years. If she really did have Feng Linbai by her side, a child wouldn’t be able to hide it. Uncle An would’ve known about Feng Linbai. But when Uncle An met Feng Linbai, it was clear that Uncle An didn’t know who he was.

Jiang Zeyu felt that his head was a mess. But among all this mess, he knew one thing. Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Xingyi knew about this long ago, and Jiang Chenglang had told Jiang Jingnian.

Was he the only one who had been kept in the dark all this time?

No one noticed Jiang Zeyu’s inner turmoil. With Feng Linbai’s permission and according to the arrangements, in the following days, Feng Linbai began to meet with the hypnotists on Jiang Chenglang’s list one by one. However, there was no progress. Just as Feng Linbai had said, his mental walls were too strong. No hypnotist in the world could bring down his guard so easily. Even if Feng Linbai intentionally let down his guard, his mental walls were deep within his bones. It was not so easy to break through. The hypnotists left dejected one after another. Feng Linbai said apologetically, “I’m sorry.” Jiang Jingnian was not surprised. “There’s nothing to apologize for. Put me in your shoes.

If I were you, I’d probably have the same results as well.”

Feng Linbai didn’t reply. Jiang Jingnian looked at Feng Linbai and noticed that he was much paler than before. He frowned and said, “Don’t tire yourself out. Go and rest. I don’t want Little Sister to think that we’ve mistreated you when she wakes up.”

Feng Linbai smiled.

Just like him, this group of people also firmly believed that Jiang Yu would wake up.

That was great.

He coughed lightly as he sat down in his office after sending them off. Only then did he relax and lean back into his chair.

Ke Yanbin silently entered the office and furrowed his brows. “Master, you condition-“| know your Feng Linbai interrupted him, “I’m fine.”

Ke Yanbin muttered, “You don’t love yourself, do you?”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing,” Ke Yanbin muttered, “Master, if you carry on like this—”

Feng Linbai interrupted him again. “What news has the Feng family received recently?”

“What other news could there be?” Ke Yanbin said as he smiled in disdain.

“That rotten old man of the Fengs dotes on his grandson to the point of no return. He has handed over the shares and several subsidiary companies under his name to Feng Junhao to manage.

“There are even rumors that the rotten old man is preparing to retire within the next few years and hand over the company to that little b*stard.”

Feng Linbai glanced at Ke Yanbin. Ke Yanbin then proceeded to give an honest report on what else had happened.

“In fact, that rotten old man tried to make a move on the Qin Organization, but his plan failed and the Qins rebutted him. Then, he tried to vent his anger on the Jiang Corporation, but Jiang Chenglang is no ordinary person. The Fengs didn’t even manage to get a few pieces of land and were extremely angry. I heard the rotten old man say ‘Little b*stard’ a few times. Unfortunately, there’s no successor, so he can only allow the little b*stard to continue to take care of it.”

Feng Linbai laughed coldly.

All this was within his expectations.

Even if a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, how long could this camel last? “However, there’s one more thing…” Ke Yanbin hesitated and then said, “It seems that besides us, there are other forces that are also attacking the Fengs. One of them is the Jians, the other one is hiding in the shadows. We haven’t managed to find out who they are.”

“I know who it is.”

“Huh?”

Ke Yanbin couldn’t help his surprise. He thought, ‘It’s over, it’s over. I’ll subconsciously be sent away. I’m not as smart as the master.

It’s over. This is too bad.’ However, he kept his thoughts to himself and asked curiously, “Who is it?”

“That little b*tch that eats people.” Ke Yanbin pondered over this sentence before he finally understood what it meant. “Lu Yuan?

She’s capable of such a thing?”

Feng Linbai threw a look at Ke Yanbin.

Ke Yanbin felt himself go numb from this stare and he trembled. He suddenly remembered that Lu Yuan was able to sneak back to the country without anyone noticing even though she had been under Jian Han’s surveillance.

She was indeed capable.

“But…” he started to ask, “Isn’t Lu Yuan deeply in love with Feng Junhao? Why would she attack the Fengs?”

Feng Linbai waved. “You can go now.”

Ke Yanbin fell silent. He knew that Feng Linbai meant “I don’t talk to idiots.” He turned around and, sensibly, left.

However, he wondered in his heart, ‘So this is what it means to bankrupt someone because they can’t get it?’ Women were truly terrifying.

Feng Zhiyi had been having a very bad time recently.

Not only was the company under his name not doing well, but the people in his family were also causing trouble for him all day long.

He thought that he must have sinned gravely to have such useless heirs.

At this moment, he sat in his study, pinched the space between his eyebrows, and asked the butler, Liang Feng, “Are there any other illegitimate children of mine that I can use?”

Liang Feng wanted to say something but stopped.

“Yes, or no?”

Liang Feng said carefully, “After you brought that ingrate home, Madam was so angry that she cleaned up a bunch of them. Later on, that ingrate secretly started gaining power. After that, Madam…”

He looked at Feng Zhiyi and didn’t dare to continue.

“Crazy woman!” Feng Zhiyi flew into a rage. “Instead of fixing things, she’s ruined everything!

She doesn’t have the magnanimity to be the matriarch of a family!”

“Then I refuse to be one!” Zhao Ningzhen’s high-pitched voice came from the door. “Who cares about being the matriarch of a family?!”

She pushed the door open and entered with a stormy expression on her face. “Let’s find the time to do this. Should we get a lawyer to draw up the divorce agreement today?”

Feng Zhiyi was stunned for a moment before he questioned, “Who told you you could come in here?! I said that no one is to enter my study without my permission!”

Zhao Ningzhen scoffed. “Since we’re about to fall out, it doesn’t matter. How shameless are you that you need me to abide by your rules?”

“Why you—!”

Zhao Ningzhen interjected, “Do I need your permission to deal with a few illegitimate children? Back when you sired so many illegitimate children outside, why didn’t you opinion?”

ask for my Zhao Ningzhen had never spoken to Feng Zhiyi in such a tone. He couldn’t contain his anger.

“You’re rebelling against me!” Zhao Ningzhen said angrily, “So what if I am? yours. But now, things are different. Perhaps, In the past, my family couldn’t compare to you’ll have to beg me for help this time around.

I’ve had enough of you!”

Feng Zhiyi trembled and almost fainted from anger. Liang Feng held him up. At this moment, Feng Wenshu ran into the office with a flustered expression. “Something happened, Father!”

“What is it now? Get out if it’s not important!”

“But Father…”

The next moment, Feng Qiongfang also appeared in front of everyone in a fluster. She didn’t dare to step into the study and just stood at the door.

“What are you doing here as well?”

Feng Zhiyi was not in a good mood at the moment. These unfilial children of his had come one after another to provoke him. He said sternly, “If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have nothing to say, then get lost!”

Feng Qiongfang opened her mouth. Even under Feng Zhiyi’s direct gaze, she couldn’t make a sound. She found it difficult to speak.

At this time, Feng Wenshu could not care any less about how Feng Qiongfang felt. It was as if he was looking at a joke. There was even a hint of pleasure in his eyes from watching his sister suffer, but he still said in an anxious tone, “Father, I didn’t expect Junhao to do such a thing.”

Feng Zhiyi’s patience had run out. “Spit it out!”

Even Zhao Ningzhen stopped and asked, “What did Junhao do?”

The conflict between her and Feng Zhiyi was a private matter between them. It didn’t affect the concern she had for her beloved grandson.

“Junhao… got involved with Jinghan…”

Feng Zhiyi was silent for a moment before he said, “What do you mean by getting involved?”

“…I mean literally!” Feng Wenshu sighed and avoided eye contact so that Feng Zhiyi wouldn’t think that he was adding insult to injury. “I-I didn’t expect that the two of them would do such a thing…”

Although Feng Qiongfang knew that this matter couldn’t be kept under wraps, she didn’t expect that Feng Wenshu would be so eager to expose this matter to Feng Zhiyi. Wasn’t Feng Junhao his biological son? Was he so eager to embarrass his own son?

Feng Qiongfang felt her face burn with shame.

She had not expected Feng Jinghan to be so bold and reckless. All the anomalies in the past were not at all like what had happened in the past.

She felt her throat go dry and bitter, but Feng Jinghan was still her child. She had to protect her.

“Jinghan is young and doesn’t know what she’s doing. This must be some sort of misunderstanding…”

Feng Zhiyi’s face was so dark that a storm was about to hit. He pointed at Feng Wenshu and said, “You! Tell me the whole story!”

There was a joke going around in the upper-class circle.

It was said that the youngest daughter of the Fengs went to seek out the most popular heir of the Fengs in the Feng mansion. They were supposed to talk about business, but for some reason, she didn’t come out for a long time.

However, one of the for a few Feng household staff had waited hours and was in a hurry to report to Junhao, so they knock on the door.

had no choice but to When the door opened… She saw an inappropriate scene.

This matter quickly spread throughout the Feng mansion. One person spread it to ten people, then ten spread it to a hundred, and soon, the entire circle knew about it. The people of the Feng family hadn’t been seen in the public eye recently. It was clear that they wouldn’t be able to raise their heads if they stepped outside.

The people of the upper-class circle cared about their reputation, and Feng Zhiyi was the king among them. After this incident, no one knew how he dealt with Feng Junhao and Feng Jinghan, but it was said that Feng Wenshu and Feng Qiongfang were not having a good time.

They were instantly grounded and were even about to be stripped of their management rights.

This incident became the topic of many after-dinner conversations, and it was still on everyone’s lips even after a week later.

After Ke Yanbin learned of this matter, he immediately reported it to Feng Linbai. He clicked his tongue in wonder. “Master, don’t you think this matter is very interesting? Someone must have set them up, right? Who do you think is the mastermind behind this? Is there anyone who hates the Fengs like us? Oh, there should be many who hate the Fengs…’ Feng Linbai was not surprised. He smiled coldly. “Your memory is horrid.”

Ke Yanbin gaped, “Huh?”

What was he forgetting?

Feng Linbai’s gaze had already swept past him and was looking out of the window.

Ke Yanbin remained rooted where he was and frowned as he thought about it. Only then did he remember the conversation from before.

“Oh! Master, you’re talking about that b*tch?!”

Feng Linbai replied, “She’s not that stupid.”

“But what ability does she have? Is someone helping her?”

Feng Linbai said, “Jian Hanshen should know the secret behind it. Give him a chance. Let’s just see him get burned. We’ll watch from the sidelines first.”

Ke Yanbin received the order and was about to leave when Feng Linbai stopped him.

“Oh right, did He Xiulan sneak back again?”

Ke Yanbin opened his mouth and thought of his promise to He Xiulan. He choked didn’t say a word.

up and Feng Linbai glanced at him casually. “Tell him to keep an eye on Ji Churan. That b*tch has a big appetite.”

Ke Yanbin shuddered and replied with a “yes.’ He thought to himself, ‘Women sure are scary.

It’d be better if I just remained single forever.’ He left while shaking his head.

When the office was empty, Feng Linbai closed his eyes.

He put his index and middle fingers together then rubbed his temples to calm the dizziness in his head.

He had a strange premonition.

It seemed that he did not have much time left.

The embarrassing incident of the Feng family circulated throughout the upper-class circle for half a month. However, it was confined to within this circle.

Although it was spread by people who talked too much, it did not reach the point where everyone knew about it.

And on this day, everyone’s attention was attracted by another piece of news that suddenly broke out.

“Shocking news! The so-called original choreography of a top-rated celebrity is actually plagiarism!”

“The lies that have been kept for so many years have finally been exposed, and the genius persona has collapsed!”

“Exclusive: Videos of a certain male star surnamed Jiang beating up someone has been exposed! His diva attitude has earned his a bad rep!”

“A certain top-rated male star has finally been exposed after so many years!”

In the studio.

Zhong Na hurriedly pushed open the door. Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang.

She took a look at the caller ID, frowned, and picked up the call, “Hello, Director Zhou. Calm down. It’s not what you think…

“Yes, please give us some time…..

“Oh, you mean next week’s magazine? You want to postpone it?

“Director Zhou, I understand your concerns,”

Zhong Na lowered her voice as she turned around and walked out of the door. Please trust me. There’s no way we would do such a thing.

It’s all nonsense written by the media.

“Yes, yes. Okay, then postpone it for now.

Thank you for your time, Director Zhou.

“I understand. Yes. okay.

“Then that’s it for now. Okay, Director Zhou, bye-bye.”

Zhong Na hung up the phone. Her eyebrows furrowed. She let out a breath and walked back in. She closed the door, threw her bag aside, and walked over to sit on the sofa, looking at the man who was still sitting by the piano. She was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll take care of this. You don’t have to make a statement just yet.

Jiang Xingyi turned around in surprise. “Aren’t you going to ask me what actually happened? Aren’t you going to ask me if I really plagiarized my work?”

Zhong Na rolled her eyes. “You don’t look like someone who would do such a thing. I’ve been with you for so many years, and my eyesight isn’t that bad.”

Jiang Xingyi was really surprised. He reminded her, “If you believe in your eyes too much, sometimes you will make a mistake.”

“So, are you trying to tell me something?” Zhong Na asked in return. “You’re the person involved, yet you still look like you don’t mind watching the show. Have you been too bored recently?”

“A little.” Jiang Xingyi nodded as if it was a serious matter. “It’s not the first time I’ve encountered such a thing, so there’s nothing to be surprised about.”

Zhong Na mercilessly poked him. “So, you want to see my attitude, right? Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. What? Are you satisfied now?”

Jiang Xingyi nodded and immediately praised her, “You are indeed an ace manager, Sister Na. As long as I’m following you, I’m not worried.”

“That’s enough.” Zhong Na extended her hand and made a stop sign. “I know what kind of person you are. You think highly of yourself and are a perfectionist. You can’t tolerate sand in your eyes. If I asked you to plagiarize others, I might as well ask you to strip naked.”

The corner of Jiang Xingyi’s mouth twitched. He took it as a compliment.

“So what happened? Did you have a conflict with that choreographer? Don’t blame me for looking into her. Ever since you debuted, she has always been your exclusive choreographer. After so many years of friendship, she went to our rivals and now is biting you back. Also, look at how this news is written.”

Zhong Na unlocked her phone and casually flipped through it. “Beating, threatening, even sexual harassment…”

She clicked her tongue and said in disdain, “What a good show of love giving rise to hatred. So, she wants to make you suffer because she was rejected after confessing to you? This woman is really scary.”

Jiang Xingyi wanted to remind Zhong Na that she herself was a woman too, but he swallowed his words and did not say anything.

He could not help but praise her in his heart. Zhong Na’s ability to read people’s minds was really amazing. She was able to guess everything with 100% accuracy. Of course, all of this was based on Zhong Na’s trust in him.

If Zhong Na didn’t trust him, or if she felt that he had caused her trouble, how could she sit here calmly?

She was afraid that she would give a scolding, just like how his previous employer had treated him.

“However…” as she spoke, Zhong Na’s tone changed. “This matter is a little tricky. The tricky part is that you and she have indeed been good friends for many years and are quite close. Everyone in the circle knows this. Therefore, when she steps forward, everyone will have a preconceived notion because of her previous intimacy with you.

“Secondly, she is indeed prepared. She secretly recorded the New Year’s Eve party choreography between you and leaked it to her opponent. The opponent was used in the released practice room video so that she could make a false accusation. She said that she was bribed by you and that you deliberately stole the video.

“Thirdly, although you have many die-hard fans and your reputation is good, you know that the general public likes to watch such scenes where the throne collapses. Moreover, it is easier for people to sympathize with the weak, although justice is not always on the side of the weak.”

Jiang Xingyi’s expression changed. “I understand.”

Zhong Na continued, “Qiao Leshan said that you threatened her, and then, it was later revealed that on New Year’s Eve, she came out of your resting room with her clothes all disheveled. Although you came out early, she came out late, so not many people saw it.

That’s why I didn’t receive this news at that time, but now, both these news are being exposed at the same time. It’s obvious that she’s been planning this for a long time.

“Now, the Internet is saying that you were sexually harassing her. I’m telling you to prepare yourself mentally. Don’t go online and fight with the netizens. It won’t do you any good. I’ll take care of everything. After all, you have a strong fan base, and Tianhe Records backing you. Neither side will be willing to just stand on the sidelines.”

Jiang Xingyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced it once before, or perhaps it was because he didn’t have much hope for Qiao Leshan, Jiang Xingyi was surprised when he first heard the news. Then, he smiled and dismissed it.

At this moment, he was very calm. After listening to Zhong Na’s words, his mind was as still as water and there were no ripples. To him, the news on the Internet was like a fleeting cloud, floating and sinking. He had time to prove whether it was true or not. Jiang Xingyi was very calm despite cooperation plans with other parties being postponed one by one. On the contrary, he was happy to be free. He took it as giving himself a big vacation and moved back to the Jiang family home. From time to time, he would go to the hospital. His days were relaxed and comfortable. Jiang Chenglang had to go work at the Jiang Corporation, Jiang Jingnian went out frequently, and Jiang Zeyu was currently staying at the race club to prepare for the upcoming competition. Jiang Xingyi became the one with the most free time, and he was really bored. He secretly went to Uncle An’s house to get a free meal.

An Yimin naturally welcomed his arrival, and he even winked at Xun Shaorong, probably saying to not bring up anything unpleasant. Xun Shaorong tried her best to find a topic to talk about. Jiang Xingyi knew their good intentions, so he did not expose them. He felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

The three of them had just finished eating when Jiang Xingyi rushed to wash the dishes.

Xun Shaorong said that his hands were much better suited to playing the piano and so forced him to sit on the sofa.

Jiang Xingyi was bored, so he simply walked around the room. When he went to the study room, he saw the small ornament on the table again.

He narrowed his eyes. At this moment, his phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Zhong Na.

When the call was connected, there was a few seconds of rare silence. Then, Zhong Na asked, “Are you at home?” Jiang Xingyi answered, “Yes.”

Uncle An’s house was also his home. “Well, I hope you will keep your head straight after what I’m going to tell you next,” Zhong Na said, “I accidentally found something.” It was rare to hear Zhong Na speaking this way, so Jiang Xingyi became serious. “What is it?”

“There’s no conclusive evidence yet, but I think it’s necessary to tell you first because I don’t want you to find out about this information from other sources.’ It was even rarer for Zhong Na to feel the need to take precautions.

His curiosity was successfully piqued, and the sentences he said became longer. “So, want to tell me what happened?”

Only then did Zhong Na speak. “You had an accident two years ago, right?” she asked, and the next sentence was like a brick that smashed into the calm water surface, causing a huge splash.

“I found that Qiao Leshan might be related to this accident.”

After hanging up, Zhong Na frowned and hurriedly made a second call.

“Assistant Ke, it’s done.”

“Okay.”

After receiving this information, Ke Yanbin quickly reported to Feng Linbai.

“The task has been completed. So… Master, do you want the third young master Jiang to know the truth now?”

“He’ll find out one day. This time, we can solve it together,” Feng Linbai said, “Let’s see if he is smart enough to find out what happened. Otherwise, we can go help him again.”

Feng Linbai didn’t expect that he would find Jiang Yu after he found out about something that happened in the past. He wanted to solve the news for Jiang Xingyi and investigate Qiao Leshan.

He didn’t know if Yu’er still remembered that she once saved her third brother and even destroyed her voice for it.

However, Yu’er had never mentioned it, but it was clearly Jiang Xiangyi’s fault. Feng Linbai didn’t want the person involved to know about it.

Moreover, he hoped that Jiang Xingyi would discover it on his own. That way, his guilt would be even stronger.

At the An family home, after Jiang Xingyi hung up the phone, he had a frown on his face. An Yimin and Xun Shaorong came out of the kitchen after tidying up. When they saw Jiang Xingyi’s expression, they thought that he was worried about the matters on the Internet again. An Yimin thought for a moment and decided to be more direct.

He cleared his throat and said in a sincere and experienced tone, “Xingyi, those who know the truth know the truth. We don’t have to worry about the things that we haven’t done. There is justice in everyone’s hearts. The wicked will be taken care of. The truth will be revealed soon enough.’ The corners of Jiang Xingyi’s mouth twitched.

“Uncle An, I’m not worried about that.” He was indeed not.

He left the matter to Zhong Na. Jiang Xingyi was completely at ease as he just rode on her coattails. He did not consider that Zhong Na would not be able to handle it.

He heard what Zhong Na had said and thought that he wouldn’t care. However, he did not expect that the word “friends” would cause him to be so disappointed. He thought that those people were his friends, but from the beginning to the end, it turned out that he was the only one thinking that. One friend had sold him out for the sake of glory and wealth, while the other friend had poisoned him just to become his benefactor. He had never considered that he might not be able to sing in the future.

They only wanted to make him their property. Thinking about it, it was as if his feelings for them had been wasted.

In An Yimin’s eyes, Jiang Xingyi’s smile was uglier than his tears. He thought to himself that Jiang Xingyi had suffered quite a blow this time, and he continued to comfort him, “Look, I’m no longer at the same station in life. Ever since you came into my life, I’ve been living such a good life. There’s a saying that goes, ‘destroy before you build.’ Some setbacks appear so that you can welcome a better future.”

After hearing these words, the discomfort in Jiang Xingyi’s heart eased a little. Thinking of An Yimin’s previous situation, and how An Yimin was digging up his own scars to comfort him, Jiang Xingyi suddenly felt a little guilty. “Uncle An, I’m fine. I was just thinking that I haven’t managed to produce any new songs lately,” Jiang Xingyi casually lied.

An Yimin didn’t expose him. “You don’t have to worry about that. Take it slow. You can’t rush things like a new song.

Jiang Xingyi nodded.

At this moment, Xun Shaorong exclaimed, “Ah!”

It was followed by a crisp sound.

An Yimin immediately walked over to her nervously. “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Xingyi followed him. In the small bedroom, Xun Shaorong waved her hands and said hurriedly, “It’s nothing. I was trying to put something in, but I accidentally knocked this metal box onto the ground.”

The square iron box had fallen to the ground and the things inside were scattered everywhere.

the Jiang Xingyi squatted and picked up scattered things. Suddenly, he spotted something. His movements became sluggish, and then, his whole body froze.

This…

How could it be so similar…

When Xun Shaorong saw that Jiang Xingyi had suddenly stopped, she followed his gaze and saw the necklace. She said in surprise, “So this is where Yu kept the necklace. No wonder I couldn’t find it no matter how hard I tried. Yu Yu loved this necklace when she was young, but I haven’t seen her wear it in a long time. I thought that she had lost it and was afraid that she was feeling guilty. I didn’t even dare to mention it. Turns out that she didn’t lose it after all.”

“Ahem, ahem…” An Yimin coughed a few times and gave Xun Shaorong a look, indicating that she should stop talking.

Jiang Xingyi was already in a bad mood and An Yiman was afraid that he would be even sadder when he heard Yu Yu’s name. Xun Shaorong immediately quited down and carefully glanced at Jiang Xingyi. Jiang Xingyi’s expression was difficult to discern. He held the necklace in his hand and remained on the floor.

After a long while, he took off the black earring on his left ear and put it in his palm. He said calmly, “Aunt Xun, do you think this earring belongs to this necklace?” Xun Shaorong had thought that this earring was similar to the water diamond on the necklace that had gone missing. She did not think too much about it and compared it. “It is quite similar, but this necklace of mine isn’t worth much. Your earring is definitely not cheap. Compared to this, one is a genuine item and the other is a fake. What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you feel cheated?” Xun Shaorong wondered if Jiang Xingyi had bought the earring at a high price. Looking at the necklace, did he feel like his earring was a fake?

She even nagged, “We can find someone to identify it. If it’s really fake, we can see if we can find a seller…” Jiang Xingyi slowly clenched his fingers.

It was really difficult to judge just from this necklace. After so many years, it was impossible to run a fingerprint or a DNA test.

His mind was full of complicated thoughts, but his instincts and impulses were getting stronger.

“Aunt Xun, can you tell me the story of this necklace? You said that Little Sister liked it very much?”

Xun Shaorong hesitated.

Jiang Xingyi stared at her. “Aunt Xun, I didn’t have the honor to participate in Little Sister’s past, so can you tell me more about it?”

An Yimin agreed. “Go on, tell him.”

It was really hard for him to refuse such a request.

After all, there were so many people who missed Yu Yu.

Jiang Xingyi drove back to the Jiang residence.

He sat quietly in the car for a while before entering the house.

Jiang Chenglang was already home.

Jiang Chenglang knew where Jiang Xingyi had gone today, so he didn’t ask much. He threw Hiang Xingyi a glance then went back to reading the news on his phone. Jiang Xingyi originally wanted to go upstairs, but what he had learned today was too shocking for him. Thinking about his empty room, he really wanted to find someone to share it with, even if that person was Jiang Chenglang. So he stopped and touched the ear stud on his left ear as he said, “If you’re free, let’s talk?”

Jiang Chenglang was a little surprised.

From what he knew, the recent events weren’t enough to warrant a heart-to-heart talk from Jiang Xingyi.

When he didn’t get a response right away, Jiang Xingyi immediately turned his head. “If you’re not free, forget it then.”

“I’m free.” Jiang Chenglang immediately put away his phone and stood up. “Let’s go to the study.”

He was really curious about what Jiang Xingyi wanted to talk to him about.
