  “Indeed, I followed you guys over here to City H but I wasn’t able to get anywhere near the Yu Family villa in the end. I bumped into that woman named Xiao Wei on the streets and I mistook her for Miss Nian. I was initially thinking of creating some chances for her to meet with an accident, but who knew; before I could do so, she met with an accident and died. I had only been following her for half a day! It was only then that I realized that it was the wrong person. Xiao Wei’s death has really got nothing to do with me!”


  Guizi was so agitated that his saliva splattered all over as he spoke.

  Yu Yuehan knitted his eyebrows with contempt and pulled Nian Xiaomu away from him.

  A portion of what Guizi said was true.

  Indeed, based on the images that the surveillance cameras at the roadside had captured, Xiao Wei was clearly seen dashing across the road and in turn, got knocked down by a car. As such, she was largely responsible for her own death.

  However, Guizi’s recount had subtly revealed that Tan Bengbeng’s disappearance was perhaps not an accident.

  Just as Nian Xiaomu had been speculating and believed firmly in—Tan Bengbeng did not go into hiding because she was guilty of wrongdoings; instead, she might have met with some accident and wasn’t able to return…


  Another matter to think about was, who had manipulated Guizi to deal with Nian Xiaomu?

  Two hundred thousand…


  Why would someone casually offer Guizi two hundred thousand yuan just to create some sort of an accident for Nian Xiaomu?

  Was this “accident” meant to be a little warning to her, or had Guizi misunderstood the intention behind it? Could it be that the other party had in fact wanted Nian Xiaomu’s life?

  Everything that had happened in City N was still vivid in his mind.

  Yu Yuehan could ignore a lot of things. However, his face darkened in an instant when it came to Nian Xiaomu’s safety.

  “The phone number that the other party used to contact you is now an unregistered number. What about the money? Since you did not complete the task, the other party would not have transferred the entire sum to you at one go. What kind of payment method did you both agree on for the balance sum?” Yu Yuehan suddenly asked.

  Guizi was stunned by the question. “The deposit was paid with cash. As for the balance sum, it was transferred to my card via a bank transfer. I have received the entire amount.”


  Guizi took out his cell phone as he spoke.

  His cell phone showed the text message that the bank had sent to notify him about the successful deposit.

  The text message was sent when the other party paid him during their first transaction, and this proved that whatever he had said was true.

  Since neither Tan Bengbeng nor himself had any enmity toward each other, it proved that he had tailed Tan Bengbeng because he was simply completing a paid task!

  More importantly, Guizi had mentioned that there was another group tailing Tan Bengbeng and they had very likely set a trap for her…


  Yu Yuehan narrowed his eyes and took the cell phone from Guizi’s hand.

  He instructed the assistant to check the source of the transactions in Guizi’s bank account.

  As long as he could find out who had transferred the money to Guizi, the mastermind behind the entire matter would be revealed!

  After Guizi told him everything he knew, he followed the assistant and left.

  Yu Yuehan and Nian Xiaomu were the only ones sitting on the sofa of the Yu Family villa.

  Neither of them spoke.

  Dropping her head, Nian Xiaomu stared at her toes and subconsciously scratched against her palm with her fingers.

  With her lips pursed, she seemed to be submerged in deep thought.

  It was the same for Yu Yuehan.

  Even though the two of them were sitting together, they seemed to be in worlds of their own.

  The atmosphere felt a little scary as the surroundings quietened down.

  One of them realized that someone was sitting beside them and turned around to take a glance at the other party. The other party also started to realize the existence of a person beside them and took a glance.

  As their eyes met, they opened their mouths and spoke at the same time.

  “Yu Yuehan, I believe you!”


  “Nian Xiaomu, I believe you!”


  Both of them stared blankly after they had finished speaking.

  Nian Xiaomu crawled into Yu Yuehan’s embrace. It seemed as though they had suddenly understood each other’s intentions.
