Here, take it.

Xia Che pretended not to know anything and handed over the lock.

Feng Yang seemed very excited, his hands were trembling slightly, but it did not escape Xia Che's eyes.

Xia Che initially intended to hand it over directly, but noticing Feng Yang's increasingly trembling hand, he thought about it carefully. This longevity lock seemed to be quite expensive, costing several thousand yuan. If it were to fall off like this, and the paint were to chip off or something... it would be a bit of a loss.

He stepped forward a few steps and directly stuffed the longevity lock into his hand.

"Um?"

Xia Che frowned slightly, just as he was about to feel it again, when he saw Feng Yang hurriedly take the longevity lock and then turn to walk towards his parents.

"Is it just my imagination...?"

Xia Che looked down at his palm. Just a moment ago, his palm had briefly touched Feng Yang's, but he felt a strange sensation.

It wasn't a problem with Feng Yang's palm, but rather with his fingerprints...

That's quite strange.

Xia Che couldn't quite put his finger on it, and he always felt that Feng Yang seemed a little flustered when he walked towards his parents, as if he didn't want Xia Che to notice anything unusual.

Xia Che's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't point it out and turned to walk towards his seat.

Suddenly, Xia Che realized someone was watching him. He turned his head and saw Chu Yuying winking at him with a smile. Xia Che smiled back and then put his index finger to his lips.

Yes.

This longevity lock...

It was something Chu Yuying had ordered in advance from Panjiayuan, and they made a special trip to get it.

Chu Yuying's plan was perfect, without a single flaw.

Upon seeing the longevity lock, Xia Che already understood that Feng Yang's family was about to be ruined by Chu Yuying.

He seemed to be able to see the tragic end of the Feng family through that small lock.

"Dad, Mom, look! This is the longevity lock I lost, no doubt about it!"

Feng Yang held his longevity lock, turning it over and over to examine it. The longevity lock in his hand was exactly the same as his previous one in terms of shape, luster, and texture.

This discovery instantly dispelled any doubts Feng Yang had previously harbored.

At this moment, Chu Yuying truly summoned her grandfather's spirit, and it possessed her.

The other person is my grandfather!

"Really?"

The parents were also very excited. They didn't know much about the longevity lock, since it was something left for Feng Yang, who always wore it with him. So they only knew that there was such a thing and had a general understanding of its shape, but they couldn't possibly know every detail of the longevity lock like Feng Yang did.

Hearing Feng Yang's confirmation, the parents immediately understood that the longevity lock was probably genuine.

"Yes! It's absolutely true. I would never mistake this lock for something else. Dad, there's no need to test it anymore. I can guarantee that the Chu student right now is Grandpa himself!"

Feng Yang patted his chest and made a promise, gesturing excitedly with his hands and feet.

Feng Yang had prepared himself for the worst, thinking that the longevity lock would never be found again, but now, judging from his grandfather's words...

It never left?

"Grandpa, what did you mean when you said the longevity lock has never left me?"

Feng Yang turned to look at Chu Yuying. He had a premonition that he might have overlooked something.

“You’ve been misled by the old dog. In fact… your longevity lock hasn’t been lost. It is me. Not only is it there, but I’ve always been here.”

Chu Yuying rolled her eyes and spared no effort in smearing the old dog.

Now that we know that Lao Gou's goal was to deceive Feng Yang's family, if he knew that he had succeeded before him and had even pinned a false identity on him, he would probably be unable to restrain himself from jumping out.

No con artist can tolerate a competitor stealing their business and then suppressing them in every way.

"What...what do you mean?"

Feng Yang was stunned: "Why would Old Dog mislead me? Isn't he your best friend, Grandpa?"

Feng Yang himself was aware of the friendship between his grandfather and the old dog, and even his parents knew about it.

The two were so close they were practically one person. They would go out for tea and play chess whenever they had free time, and when one of them had something to do, he would even ask Lao Gou to pick up and drop off Feng Yang from school...

Their relationship was so close that they were intertwined... but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye?

"My best friend...maybe he was, but he's definitely not anymore."

Chu Yuying looked up, her gaze falling on the roof of the farmhouse. She knew that her disguise couldn't last too long.

This is, after all, a farm warehouse, and Qinghe Village is home to many villagers.

Although most of the villagers were busy when they arrived and few saw them, two or three hours had passed, and Chu Yuying knew that if the villagers returned and noticed the strange situation...

Many unnecessary accidents will occur.

These unexpected events often pose a risk of exposing one's own lies.

Now that she has achieved her goal, a real scam requires more than just a perfect process; it also needs a gradual and gradual process. Trying to get rich quick often gives others the opportunity to expose it.

"grandfather……"

Feng Yang was about to ask for clarification when Chu Yuying waved her hand to interrupt him: "I know you have many questions, but my soul is too weak right now. Being able to say a few words to you is already my limit. Yang'er, I am really happy to see you again."

Chu Yuying's expression gradually turned serious, then she suddenly smiled warmly: "You don't need to worry about the matter of exchanging lives. It was my own choice. All you have to do is live well, and take my share with you."

"In the end... you've done very well. You don't need to prove anything to me. I've seen it all, you just can't see me."

"Be careful of that old dog. This is my last piece of advice. He's... very dangerous, extremely dangerous."

Chu Yuying deliberately didn't say everything; only by saying half and leaving half unsaid could she most easily arouse suspicion.

People are often most wary when they only know that the other party has ill intentions, but do not know what they specifically want from them.

What Chu Yuying needs to do is use this wariness to lure the old dog out.

He would never tolerate his own act of snatching food from the tiger's mouth, Chu Yuying was certain of this.

"Father-in-law..."

Before Mrs. Feng could say anything more, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw a tear welling up in Feng Tianming's eye. He didn't wipe it away, but instead smiled gently.
