The figure was exactly the same as the one he remembered...

He walked silently forward, stopped in front of the sofa, and looked down at the person on the sofa.

He unconsciously reached out, wanting to touch her, when suddenly she turned over in her sleep.

He came to his senses, sighed softly, and finally withdrew his hand.

After standing there for a while, he made up his mind, bent down, picked her up, and carried her into the bedroom.

He had just left the bedroom when Hua Fei opened her eyes.

Actually, she hadn't fallen asleep at all.

He suddenly picked her up and carried her into the room, which really startled her.

But she patiently waited to see what he was up to.

Now it seems he just wanted her to sleep in the room while he slept on the sofa.

The sheets and duvet cover were filled with his favorite pine scent.

As she smelled the scent, she thought of the anonymous threatening letter from years ago, and her mind began to race.

She should proceed according to plan.

Ah Yue's worries resurfaced, "What if you do this and fail to achieve your goal, but end up exposing your identity?"

She didn't tell A-Yue that although the scars on her lower abdomen had been treated, they weren't completely gone.

Huo Beichen had already sensed something.

Her identity will be revealed sooner or later.

She could only race against Huo Beichen for time.

Huo Beichen lay down on the sofa in the outer room. The place where she had slept still had a faint smell of herbs.

The smell is very reassuring.

He closed his eyes and gradually became sleepy. Suddenly, he heard faint voices coming from the bedroom.

He thought she was talking to him, so he got up and went into the room, only to realize that she was talking in her sleep.

She seemed a little nervous; her brow was furrowed, and her face was even somewhat distorted...

He didn't dare to wake her abruptly, so he gently sat down by the bed and took her hand... He had heard that having someone hold your hand while you're talking in your sleep can effectively relieve tension.

“…Run, run…” her voice pierced his ears, “Run to the waterfront, run…”

Water Bay Road?

It sounds like a place name.

Huo Beichen subconsciously held his breath, wanting to hear more clearly, but she turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

After a moment, the bedroom returned to silence.

Huo Beichen returned to the sofa, but couldn't fall asleep.

He sent a message to his assistant: What kind of place is Water Bay Road?

Soon, the assistant sent a message: "A hidden ferry crossing; many people use this route to get out."

Huo Beichen looked into the room in confusion. Why would she mention such a place name? Had she been there before?

The following afternoon, Hua Fei stood in front of the treatment room window and saw Huo Beichen's assistant arrive.

This is Huo Beichen's most trusted assistant; many confidential matters are entrusted to him.

A-Yue came to her side and asked, "Did it go as planned last night?"

Hua Fei nodded, "Shuiwan Road is where Sheng Nanyin left by boat back then."

"This was also arranged by him back then. Now that this information has been leaked, he must be very worried and will do something to cover up everything he did back then."

"I might be able to get some useful clues when he's in a state of confusion."

"What do you plan to do?" A-Yue asked.

"He called this assistant over, he must be doing this. Just keep a close eye on the assistant."

Then, Huafei asked, "Have you found out about this assistant's situation?"

A-Yue nodded. "His surname is Wang, he is 37 years old this year, and his wife keeps insisting on taking their 5-year-old daughter to study abroad."

"Could you help me find out more about the situation? I'll go talk to this assistant," Hua Fei said.

"Okay, be careful. I'll send someone to meet you."

Hua Fei looked at A Yue gratefully, "Thank you, you've helped me so much."

A-Yue smiled and said, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you."

...

"Xiaowei, did you call back the person I sent?" While Mr. Sun was out, Mrs. Sun came to Sun Xiaowei's room alone and asked.

The people she sent had been preparing for several days.

Originally, he planned to take action against Hua Fei while Sun's father was away on a business trip, but unexpectedly, Sun Xiaowei called him back before he was about to leave.

“Yes,” Sun Xiaowei nodded, “I called him back.”

Sun's mother was speechless. "Are you worried that if something happens to Hua Fei, Huo Beichen will blame you, right?"

"But even if you bring him back, do you think Huo Beichen will remember your kindness?"

She's still here all alone, feeling depressed!

"Mom, please stop talking. I want to be alone." Sun Xiaowei lay down on the sofa, completely listless.

Sun's mother was furious. "How could I have given birth to such a useless daughter!"

Just then, the butler came to the door and said, "Madam, Assistant Tian is here. He says he has something important to report."

Sun's mother asked in confusion, "Assistant Tian? Which Assistant Tian?"

Sun Xiaowei's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately stood up, "I'm going to see him."

She quickly walked out of the living room and into the garden.

"Young Miss!" Assistant Tian, ​​who was waiting anxiously, didn't bother with formalities and said directly, "The people from Shuiwan Road have sent word that Huo Beichen has sent someone to inquire about it."

"What are you asking about?" Sun Xiaowei was secretly alarmed.

"We're trying to find out if Sheng Nanyin started her journey abroad from there. We're also trying to find out who her matchmaker was," Assistant Tian replied.

However, "the people at the dock are tight-lipped, and we haven't been able to find out anything yet."

“You said it was only temporary,” Sun Xiaowei said with a stern face. “With Huo Beichen’s methods, he’ll find out everything sooner or later.”

Assistant Tian was also worried about this, so he came to report it as soon as possible.

Sun Xiaowei calmed down and pondered for a moment, "It's been several years, and Huo Beichen didn't know anything about it. How did he suddenly find out about Shuiwan Road?"

Assistant Tian guessed, "Someone must have said something."

“There’s no one around him who knows the truth… Could it be her!” Sun Xiaowei immediately thought of someone.

"Who?" Assistant Tian asked.

"Huafei!"

"It's her!" Sun Xiaowei gritted her teeth in hatred. "Ever since she appeared, the conflict between Huo Beichen and me has only grown stronger!"

Assistant Tian was puzzled. He had met Hua Fei before. "What is the relationship between Hua Fei and Sheng Nanyin?"

Sun Xiaowei couldn't explain it either.

She had people investigate Huafei's background, and there was nothing suspicious.

But she could never forget that night, the lights were dim, and she suddenly saw Sheng Nanyin's figure... However, before she could recover from her shock, she saw Hua Fei's face instead.

"Could there really be a face-changing technique in this world?" Assistant Tian pondered. "Could Hua Fei and Sheng Nanyin be the same person?"

“Miss, it’s not difficult to find out about this,” Assistant Tian said. “Didn’t Sheng Nanyin leave behind a child? Just do a genetic comparison between this child and Hua Fei, and we’ll know.”

"Don't do it!" Sun Xiaowei immediately stopped her.

Sheng Nanyin must never be seen again!

“If Hua Fei really is Sheng Nanyin, I know what she’s looking for this time,” Sun Xiaowei’s smile was cold. “You cast the bait and let her take the bait!”
