Bai Hao: "This is a story of three people. The first story is about a girl who has a childhood sweetheart. He is beautiful, kind, and academically excellent. She is never short of suitors, but she is only devoted to one person, who is her childhood sweetheart."

Qin Nan: "You mean Sun Wen and Yang Zizhong?"

Bai Hao: "Oh? You know?"

Qin Nan: "If you search for Yang Zizhong online, you'll find some news reports. It's said that the two were a perfect couple, but unfortunately, Sun Wen fell ill and accidentally drowned during an attack."

Bai Hao: "Sick? Is it like Yang Zizhong now?"

"Um... now that you mention it, it seems so! What's going on here?" Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao in confusion.

Bai Hao: "Sun Wen was not sick at all. Her hallucinations, emotional instability, and even suicide attempts were due to medication. Yang Zizhong put drugs in her food, which caused her to suffer from severe neurasthenia and frequent hallucinations. The high level of mental stress, coupled with fear and terror, led to Sun Wen suffering from severe depression, which is why she frequently thought about suicide. Sun Wen only found out that Yang Zizhong wanted to kill her when she died."

"Why? Why would he do that?" Qin Nan said, completely bewildered.

Bai Hao smiled and said, "Because he had desires. He drowned Sun Wen, left her body in the river, and wrapped it in garbage so that the body wouldn't be discovered too early, and even if it was discovered later, nothing would be left behind. In return, he gained an excellent reputation."

"Reputation?! Just for the reputation of a so-called good man? He, he really does this?! This, this is too much..." Qin Nan slammed her hand on the table in anger.

Bai Hao smiled as he looked at Qin Nan's indignant expression. "A reputation is not enough. What's important is being a son-in-law!"

Qin Nan: "A perfect son-in-law... He, he did it for Chen Qizhu?"

Bai Hao: "Otherwise, why do you think Chen Qizhu would have heard about Yang Zizhong? Given Chen Qizhu's social circle, who would care about such a thing? Let alone talk about it. Besides, this matter was just a small news item on the internet at the time."

"If that's the case, then Yang Zizhong must have planned all of this a lot. And how did he know that Chen Qizhu would be interested in him? Besides, the news says that Chen Qizhu was the one who pursued Yang Zizhong!" Qin Nan said incredulously.

Bai Hao: "Do you believe in fate?"

Qin Nan: "Fate?"

Bai Hao: "If you always meet someone at a very coincidental time and you get along very well, don't you think it's fate?"

Qin Nan: "I don't think it's fate, but making friends is certainly possible."

Bai Hao: "Unbeknownst to him, Chen Qizhu had already been attracted to him. Yang Zizhong knew Chen Qizhu's personality very well. You should know what happened next."

Qin Nan: "The internet says that Chen Qizhu pursued Yang Zizhong for three years before they got together. Come to think of it, she was really persistent. Moreover, I think someone like her deserves a better life. It's a pity that she chose the wrong person!"

Bai Hao: "You like her a lot?"

Qin Nan: "I feel she's a really nice person. My liking for her isn't romantic; it's more like admiration. She knows what she wants, and she'll do what she wants without regret. But there are always some regrets, though."

Bai Hao: "Indeed, such people are rare. Not everyone knows what they want and will do their best to achieve it and get it, and even if they have regrets, they will not regret it."

Qin Nan: "Yes, but she asked you before, why didn't you ask her why she did that? What did that mean?"

Bai Hao: "I told you, she has a contract with me, and she wants to take back everything that belongs to the Chen family."

Qin Nan: "What do you mean?"

Bai Hao: "After Yang Zizhong and Chen Qizhu got married, they had a daughter. Later, Chen Yuan'an handed over the business to Yang Zizhong, and Chen Qizhu stayed at home as a full-time housewife. Originally, it was not bad, but later, he was not satisfied and wanted more."

He tricked Chen Qizhu into giving him shares so that he could better manage the company. After Chen Yuan'an retired, Yang Zizhong took control of the Yuan'an Group, and Chen Qizhu could no longer restrain him.

With money, power, and fame, he began to philander. Of course, to maintain his reputation and ensure the company's operation, he did everything discreetly, leaving no trace of his actions. He was also very cunning, so Chen Qizhu knew nothing about it until three months ago.

Qin Nan: "When Yang Zizhong first saw... Sun Wen in the mirror?"

Bai Hao: "Even earlier than that, so she found me. I told her to put the bracelet under Yang Zizhong's bedding while she was at the hotel, and after she left, to take the bracelet home in a brocade box and put it under the bed. Then, until a few days ago, when Yang Zizhong came to find me, everything ended."

Qin Nan: "A bracelet?"

Bai Hao: "This is what Sun Wen was wearing when she died."

Qin Nan felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and then she recalled Yang Zizhong's words earlier, "You mean, it really is Sun Wen...?"

Bai Hao: "She's inside this bracelet."

Qin Nan stood up abruptly, backed up against the door frame, and stared at the jade bracelet on Bai Hao's hand with a grim expression.

Bai Hao smiled and said, "You didn't harm her, so what are you afraid of?"

Qin Nan: "I, I'm just, I'm simply afraid of ghosts! But if Yang Zizhong is having an affair, why doesn't Chen Qizhu just divorce him and go through legal procedures? Why have they gone this far?"

Bai Hao: "The deeper the love, the deeper the hate. Moreover, Yang Zizhong has already begun to despise her. Chen Qizhu is of no help to Yang Zizhong anymore. As long as we find a way to divorce her and push all the blame onto Chen Qizhu, then Chen Qizhu will have to leave with nothing, while Yang Zizhong's reputation will remain intact, and he will still possess all the property that once belonged to the Chen family."
