The usually cold-hearted and indifferent Fifth Master Yin actually asked Huo Zhou a question when he got into the car.

"Is that girl in red the Hang family's daughter?"

This simple question, if nothing unexpected happens, will soon spread throughout all circles of the capital.

Despite never being interested in women, Master Yin, the fifth master, inquired about a young lady after the banquet.

That would leave everyone speechless.

Regardless of what Master Yin's intentions are, for some time to come, Miss Hang, and even the Hang family, will attract the attention of the entire capital.

Huo Zhou, naturally, would be hesitant to act rashly due to this cryptic question.

He has someone else he loves, and this engagement will be dissolved sooner or later.

However, at this moment, a long-term plan is needed. Given the unclear attitude of Fifth Master Yin, he needs to handle this matter more cautiously.

The people at today's banquet are all wealthy and powerful, and everyone is secretly thinking that the Hang family's status is about to rise.

So what if the Huo family and the Hang family have a marriage agreement?

If Fifth Master Yin truly takes a liking to this Miss Hang, how could the Huo family dare to object?

The person who had stirred up the winds of change in the capital was now sitting in the back seat of the car, pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

His slightly pale face was calm, his eyes were lightly closed, but his slightly trembling eyelashes showed that he was thinking about something.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, casting dappled shadows on him.

Yin Huaizhu's slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the back seat. The atmosphere inside the car was quiet, and the soft tapping sound seemed to touch the hearts of everyone in the car.

The silence was broken by the slight sound of the vehicle moving.

Yin Huaizhu stopped what she was doing with her fingers, slowly opened her eyes, and her dark pupils concealed a faint thought.

He raised his hand, his large, pale palm resting on his chest.

He felt the rectangular pendant beneath his clothes in his palm, the black carved wooden plaque that had been with him for twenty years.

As I was leaving the banquet hall, I passed a spot where the wooden plaque pressed against his chest felt slightly warm for a moment.

This is unprecedented.

Yin Huaizhu gripped the wooden plaque to his chest tightly through his clothes. The momentary heat almost made him think it was an illusion, but his chronically low body temperature and the heat he felt told him it wasn't.

That's why I couldn't help but ask that question when I got on the bus.

"Is that girl in red the Hang family's daughter?"

"It is Miss Hang Suisui of the Hang family."

As Yin Huaizhu got into the car and started the engine, she glanced at the banquet hall through the window.

I could vaguely see that red figure still embracing someone, tilting its head and looking towards the door.

Her slender fingers gripped the clothes on her chest tightly, and she didn't even notice that her fingertips were turning white.

Thinking of that little figure, dressed in green, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and with snow-white, adorable features.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Upon hearing a slight cough, Assistant Liang in the front seat immediately took out a small box from beside his seat and respectfully handed a dark green silk handkerchief to the person behind him.

"Fifth Master".

Yin Huaizhu reached out and took the silk handkerchief, pressing it to her constantly coughing lips. The dark green silk handkerchief made her already fair skin appear even whiter.

His gaze deepened, suppressing the undercurrents surging within his pupils.

It was just a coincidence.

How could Miss Hang be her?

Yin Huaizhu suppressed a cough, let out a breath, loosened the fingers pressing against her lips slightly, and gently shook her head.

He's really gone mad...

Since Yin Huaizhu became the head of the Yin family and took over the Yin Group, Liang Gui has been following Yin Huaizhu.

Eight years...

Liang Gui glanced at Yin Huaizhu, whose face was always pale, through the rearview mirror inside the car.

Since Fifth Master took control of the entire family and stood at the very top of the capital, everyone had to respectfully address him as Fifth Master Yin.

But for some reason, over the past eight years, Fifth Master's health has been deteriorating, and top medical teams at home and abroad have been unable to find the cause.

Liang Gui withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought.

Should he look for other ways to find out the cause of Fifth Master's illness?

The stars are exceptionally bright tonight.

The crescent moon cast a soft, silvery glow.

The bright moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, like fine silver gauze, scattering into the spacious room and enveloping the entire room in a soft silver glow.

In the very center of the room, on the large, soft bed, a figure was rolling around inside the blankets.

A muffled sound came from inside the blanket: "Ah~".

The apricot-colored ice silk quilt shimmered with a subtle glow as it rippled in the silvery light.

Finally, having wrapped herself up like a silkworm cocoon, Hang Suisui, struggling inside the blanket, craned her neck and poked her head out of the blanket.

"Ugh!"

Hang Suisui gasped for breath: "That was close, I almost suffocated."

001: […………]

I don't understand, but I respect it.

001: [So, host, do you understand your current mission?]

Looking at Hang Suisui, who was staring intently at the ceiling, I don't think I need to repeat myself.

Hang Suisui was wrapped up in a long strip, staring blankly at the ceiling, utterly dejected.

The white roof has a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging in the middle, and the silvery light reflected from the moonlight can be seen even in the room without the lights on.

On the four corners of the roof, there are lifelike white peony reliefs.

It's really beautiful.

Looking around again, one sees exquisite furniture and ornaments bathed in a soft glow.
