"Wang Gang?" Xia Xiong's brows seemed to be tightly furrowed into a deep "川" shape by an invisible hand, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like deep ravines carefully carved by time, each line bearing the vicissitudes of the past.
His eyes were full of focus and contemplation, as if he wanted to explore every corner of his memory to find the truth.
His thoughts were like a wild horse, galloping freely across the vast, mottled plains of memory.
In his mind, a high-speed projector was running at full speed, replaying past memories frame by frame clearly and quickly without any omissions.
Images of him wearing a sharp suit and navigating high-end social occasions; heated discussions with elites from all walks of life in the office, arguing fiercely over the advancement of projects; even casual chats with neighbors, sitting together and talking about everyday matters—all these images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing a hint of urgency and determination, trying hard to capture any clues related to the name "Wang Gang," not letting go of the slightest possibility.
He wandered through the labyrinth of memories, trying to find clues related to the complex information.
However, time relentlessly slips away, like fine sand in an hourglass, silently passing by.
After a long while, a hint of disappointment gradually appeared in his eyes, the light dimming like a star obscured by dark clouds. He shook his head helplessly, let out a low sigh, and said slowly with undisguised regret, "I don't remember much."
Xia Wan witnessed this scene, but she was not disappointed.
In her understanding, that magical system was like a mysterious island hidden in layers of mist, exuding an air of mystery, with countless tempting treasures buried on it.
It was like a giant, inexhaustible treasure trove of information, its doors shining with a reassuring light. No matter how thorny, complex, or tangled the problems ahead, as long as she made a sincere request to the system in her heart, that request would instantly travel through time and space like radio waves to the depths of the system.
Then, as if holding a magical key forged from wisdom and chance, she could precisely open the door to the treasure and obtain the answers she had been dreaming of.
To her, this system was like a beacon that stood steadily and radiated a warm light when she was groping in the pitch black darkness, surrounded by unknown fears.
This guiding light not only illuminated her path forward, but also gave her unparalleled confidence and a sense of security, allowing her to face unknown storms without hesitation or confusion, and filling her heart with unwavering strength.
The room fell into an almost deathly silence. The stillness was so thick that it felt as if the air itself had frozen into a block of ice, making it hard to breathe.
Only the second hand of the wall clock ticked tirelessly, each tick like a heavy rhythm striking the already oppressive atmosphere. The sound echoed in the silent room, adding to the tension and repression.
Everyone looked solemn, as if shrouded in gloom.
They frowned, intently searching their minds for any clues related to Liu Cuilan's family.
Some people have a deep sense of confusion and bewilderment in their eyes, like a ship lost at sea, unable to find a harbor to dock in; others bite their lips tightly, their lips turning slightly white from the effort, their expressions solemn and focused, and even their foreheads are covered with fine beads of sweat, like glistening pearls, showing how hard they are racking their brains.
But in the end, no matter how hard everyone tried and racked their brains, like travelers groping in the dark, they all ended up in vain.
Seeing this, Xia Xiong raised his hand and gently patted off non-existent dust from his body. This seemingly casual and natural action actually contained a deliberate intention to break the dull atmosphere.
He straightened his already somewhat hunched back, as if to shoulder the burden of the family again, and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Then, he slowly said, "In any case, now that we know about Liu Cuilan's situation, we can be more prepared for the future."
His voice was deep and powerful, like the ringing of a bell, echoing in the room for a long time, revealing a calm and composed demeanor that came from years of experience, as if all difficulties could be easily resolved with his steady and composed approach.
"Next, the most important thing is to keep a close eye on Xia Shuhua's every move and make sure she does nothing to harm the family again."
Xia Shuyu nodded solemnly, her face etched with deep wrinkles like the marks of time, clear and startling. She sighed softly, a sigh filled with endless tenderness and helplessness, as if bearing the weight of many years of vicissitudes.
The sigh seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart, filled with deep sorrow for Shuhua's current situation. "Shuhua is now completely led by the nose by the Zhao family. One wrong step leads to another."
She shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with heartache for Shuhua's current situation, as if she were watching her most cherished treasure being ruthlessly destroyed.
"We have to come up with a comprehensive plan to pull her out of that dangerous quagmire."
As she spoke, she turned her expectant gaze to Xia Wan, as if this exceptionally intelligent granddaughter was the last ray of hope to save Xia Shuhua and the key to leading her family out of this predicament.
In her eyes, Xia Wan was like a guiding star in the darkness, showing them the way.
Xia Wan fell into deep thought. After a moment, she subconsciously bit her luscious lips, leaving faint teeth marks on her tender lips.
She spoke slowly, her voice soft yet firm, like a resolute call from the darkness: "Grandpa, I think our most urgent task is to find a way to get Aunt away from Zhao Guodong's family. After all, dealing with the Zhao family is an inevitable step we cannot avoid, and right now, the most pressing task is to pull Aunt out of that dangerous vortex."
She silently added in her heart that she was completely clueless about how to get their swapped souls back. The most important and only thing she could do right now was to do everything she could to protect her aunt's safety. As for other thorny issues, she could only put them aside for the time being and discuss them later.
She knew that every decision she made at this moment was related to her sister-in-law's fate and the future of the entire family.
