"Can you pick it up?"

Wang Wenfei looked eagerly at the gems protected in the glass. After carefully checking that there were no alarms or anything like that around, she reached in and took out a pile of burnt jewelry.

Why are you looking at this?

While Zhen Hu was observing the photos on the wall showing the aftermath of the tragedy at the villa, Wang Wenfei was staring at a pile of "scrap metal" in deep thought.

"I just saw something fun."

As Wang Wenfei spoke, she took out an object that looked like a seal from inside.

Unfortunately, it seems that a corner of it was burned by the fire, so the name at the bottom of the seal is no longer visible.

However, looking at the delicate and exquisite handle, it seems to indicate that the owner of this seal is a woman.

"How gorgeous!" Mu Chen, holding Mingmei's fluffy hand, came over to join in the fun.

After going upstairs, Mingmei finally got to walk, but Mu Chen patiently held her hand the whole way, just like her parents _(:3」∠)_

He spotted the gem at the top of the seal immediately.

"The hotel owner is quite a clever person. Although most of these pieces of jewelry are already unusable, it's not impossible to take the gemstones off and make other pieces of jewelry."

Mu Chen pointed out the unusual placement of the discarded jewelry here, and at the same time seemed to be reminding everyone: "This hotel has been open for quite some time now. Do you think that because the events that happened at the villa back then have never been leaked, no guests have ever seen these?"

"Yes, why is it that no one is willing to tell anyone about this now that they know?"

Seeing that the group of people were talking together, Lu Gui naturally followed them over to listen in and offered his opinion.

His opinion was almost identical to Mu Chen's: "Did the guests not go up to the second floor and see these things, or did they see them but choose not to tell outsiders?"

Why not tell others?

No one thought that all the guests were truly blind or uninterested, coming, eating, or dancing on the first floor and then leaving. How could that be?

"Is there some secret here that we don't know about?" Lu Gui shared his guess with everyone. "What secret is it that they dare not tell anyone?"

"Um?"

This piqued everyone's curiosity, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed true.

So many people died at the Dewi Villa back then, but what caused the sensation was the death of a wealthy businessman who committed suicide for true love, along with Dewi.

Just like the prominent guests at the banquet back then, there were other people who died in that accident. Didn't the powerful figures behind those people cause any trouble?

Doesn't anyone investigate all of this because of the sudden death of a family member?

...

"Holy crap... your husband is the host of this banquet?"

It was rare to hear Bai Xiao swear, so Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Unlike Lu Xiaoyao, who was outside the whole time, Bai Xiao, who was inside the house, naturally paid attention to the banquet host who had an outstanding temperament even though she was wearing a mask.

At the time, many women present, wearing masks, looked at the men with unusually intense gazes.

At the time, Bai Xiao thought the host of the banquet might be a very promiscuous scumbag, but that didn't stop her from feeling the man's charm.

"I think someone like your husband probably doesn't really have the concept of a unique true love."

Bai Xiao sighed. Judging from that man's demeanor, she was certain that any woman who met his gentle, affectionate eyes would be completely captivated.

How could a man like that possibly settle down for a woman?

"I'm afraid his reason for divorcing you is just an excuse."

After Bai Xiao finished speaking incisively, Mary's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears quickly fell again. Finally, she nodded: "I understand. He doesn't deserve... he doesn't deserve my affection... he doesn't deserve Dewi's following..."

After saying this, the other person covered their face and wept, crying so sadly that it terrified Bai Xiao.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaoyao also belatedly realized that the word "Daiwei" sounded so familiar!

"Dewi?! You you you you..." Bai Xiao's words became incoherent for a moment. She grabbed the other person's shoulder and asked urgently, "What year are you born... ptooey! What time is it today!?"

"September 1958 (Gregorian calendar)..."

Mary should have been able to cry her heart out, but unexpectedly, the two people opposite her suddenly asked them what day it was, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Is 1958 in the Gregorian calendar, not 2022?"

Bai Xiaoke remembered the date on the newspaper they brought today!

"What are you saying? I don't understand..."

Mary was clearly startled by the strange reaction of the two people in front of her. Taking advantage of the moment when the two were in a daze, she ran away and disappeared.

"We...we've gone back in time?" Lu Xiaoyao was completely bewildered. "Did we just hear some incredible truth?"

"Hmm...maybe?" Bai Xiao's mind was also a complete mess. "Didn't they say that man's true love was Dai Wei?"

"Didn't we already know there was more to this than meets the eye?" Lu Xiaoyao didn't understand why she was emphasizing the so-called legend of true love.

“Yes, there’s more to it than meets the eye… We’ve gone back to the past…” Bai Xiao suddenly felt a little dizzy and looked up at the cold, silvery moon above her head, which gradually turned crimson in her vision.

This is not a good sign.

"Lu Xiaoyao".
