Upon opening the door, one could see Rong Shi standing at the entrance, with Xiao Yating standing beside him.

"Rong Shi! You're finally back!"

All the longing she had felt day and night turned into a pool of spring water at this moment. Ignoring Xiao Yating's presence, Gu Chu excitedly jumped onto Rong Shi, hugged his neck tightly, and wrapped her legs around his waist like a koala.

"Yes, I'm back!"

Rong Shi felt a surge of warmth in his heart, reached out to catch Gu Chu, and carried her into the house.

With a bang, the door slammed shut, leaving Xiao Yating outside feeling utterly humiliated. Seeing the two ignoring her and going inside, displaying their affection intimately, she angrily pounded on the door.

"Bang bang bang! Brother Shi, open the door! Gu Chu, open the door!"

Once inside, the two shared a passionate and fiery kiss, completely oblivious to everything around them.

The loud knocking echoed their rapid heartbeats, making their intimate moment even more enchanting.

After knocking for a while and seeing that no one answered the door, Xiao Yating angrily turned around and went into her room.

Gu Chu's enthusiasm overwhelmed Rong Shi; the two, deeply in love, were like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, like cold light meeting the blazing sun...

It took two or three hours of fussing before they finally stopped.

Gu Chu lay in Rong Shi's arms and told him about what had happened during this time. When he learned that Gu Chu had achieved an excellent result of second place in the exam, Rong Shi kissed her cheek affectionately.

Rong Shi asked, "Have you told your parents about this?"

"No, I'm applying for a civil service position in City A. I don't want to rely on connections right away; I need to demonstrate my abilities and gain experience at the grassroots level," Gu Chu said truthfully.

Rong Shi lowered his head and pecked her cheek: "Yeah, my wife is just that confident."

Gu Chu smiled shyly: "Rong Shi, when are you leaving this time?"

Rong Shi teased her on purpose, nuzzling against her and saying, "What, are you already tired of it?"

Gu Chu blushed and glared at him shyly: "You did that on purpose, hmph! I'm ignoring you now."

He pretended to be angry and turned his back.

Rong Shi pulled her into his arms and coaxed her gently, "It's okay, I was wrong. I won't tease you anymore. I'll only be back for three days this time."

Gu Chu turned around upon hearing this: "Only three days! Well, it's better than not seeing you for half a year."

"Things here are settled. I'm going back to City C in three days. Do you want to come with me?"

Gu Chu refused.

“I visited Wanwan a while ago, but I won’t go this time. I’m going to City B to investigate the Sheng family,” Gu Chu said.

"The Sheng family? I've already had someone investigate some things, and I came back this time to tell you some things about the Sheng family."

As Rong Shi spoke, he pulled Gu Chu into his arms and said in a deep voice, "Twenty years ago, the Sheng family was the number one conglomerate in B City. Sheng Chuanxiong, the chairman of the Sheng Group, was a prominent figure back then. Sheng Shuxian, the only daughter of the Sheng family, married a man from the countryside. The two were college classmates. The man's name was Qiu Chuji. Sheng Shuxian gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. When the children were about one year old, Sheng Shuxian disappeared, and Sheng Chuanxiong also passed away. The Sheng Group fell into Qiu Chuji's hands. However, in just three years, the Sheng Group went bankrupt due to poor management. Now, the Sheng family is just a small company in the clothing industry."

Gu Chu was bewildered: "Twins? Could it be that we've made a mistake?"

Rong Shi couldn't help but kiss her cheek again: "This can't be confirmed. Sheng Shuxian has disappeared. We don't know if she's dead or alive. Right now, the only one who knows the truth is Qiu Chuji, but Qiu Chuji has a bad reputation. If you're going to B City, don't blindly go looking for him. This is all the information my people can find out so far. If you really want to know the inside story, I suggest you start by investigating the twins, but be careful."

Gu Chu grasped Rong Shi's large hand, their fingers intertwined: "Yes, I know, Rong Shi, let's have a child once my career is stable!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever my wife says." Rong Shi said, grabbing her hand and putting it under the covers.

"you·······!"

Ten thousand words omitted here...

Three days later, Rong Shi left, and Gu Chu also went to the neighboring City B alone.

A week later, Gu Chu received the notification.

After being recruited through the organization department, Gu Chu was assigned to the Organization Department of City A as a secretarial worker, and reported for duty three days later.

After Gu Chu left City B and went to City C, it was already the end of June.

Gu Chu told Su Wan about some of the things she had found out in City B.

Gu Chu met Sheng Jinfeng, Qiu Chuji's twin daughter, in City B.

Sheng Jinfeng was about the same age as her, and they were even born in the same month. Through Sheng Jinfeng, Gu Chu also met her twin brother, Sheng Jinlong. However, Sheng Jinlong had now changed his surname to Qiu Jinlong. She didn't know the specific reason, but one thing was very strange: the twins didn't look alike at all. Sheng Jinfeng and Qiu Chuji did look somewhat similar, but Qiu Jinlong didn't look like Qiu Chuji at all. Instead, he looked a lot like his stepmother, He Shiran.

According to Sheng Jinfeng, her father and stepmother were not loving and often quarreled. Moreover, her stepmother was particularly sexist and favored her brother Qiu Jinlong, while always disliking her.

Gu Chu couldn't help but suspect that there might be a big secret behind this. She suspected that the twins might not be twins at all, but rather half-siblings. So she secretly obtained some hair from Sheng Jinfeng and Qiu Jinlong. She came here this time to ask Rong Shi to help her get some hair from Qiu Chuji and He Shiran. As long as a DNA test was done on this family, everything would be clear.

Gu Chu called Rong Shi, who said she couldn't leave and asked someone to pick her up and take her to the camp. Gu Chu agreed.
