Huo Jingnan was taken aback and stood there dumbfounded for a long time.
“So…” he looked at Qin Yu, “the person I’ve been spending the last two days with really wasn’t Nian Nian!”
"What?" Qin Yu was also completely confused.
"She's not Niannian!" Huo Jingnan exclaimed, "Niannian must be in her hands, she wants to kill her!"
"Young Master Huo, can you please calm down? I don't understand a single word you're saying!"
Huo Jingnan didn't want to argue with him, so he turned around, went back to his room, grabbed his pistol, and was about to rush out.
Fan Yawen calmly stopped him.
"We need to discuss a solution now!" Mom declared. "With your emotions running high, what kind of work can you possibly accomplish?!"
Qin Yu scratched his head and gave him a speechless look.
Fan Yawen asked, "President Qin, how much do you know about this Pei Shasha?"
“She is my father’s illegitimate daughter,” Qin Yu confessed frankly, disregarding the family scandal. “But I have never contacted her all these years. If it weren’t for my daughter’s illness and the need for a bone marrow match, and none of our relatives being suitable… I would not have contacted her.”
Fan Ya-wen frowned slightly. "Where did you find her?"
“Finding her wasn’t difficult. Based on the clues left by my father, my men brought her back from Southeast Asia,” Qin Yu said in a low voice. “But she wore a mask as soon as she returned, saying that she had been disfigured and refused to show her true face. However, the keepsake she had was indeed my father’s.”
"Then what?"
"Then her behavior became very strange, which aroused my suspicion."
Who is her mother?
Qin Yu said two words with certainty: "Pei Hong".
Huo Jingnan's expression changed instantly.
Fan Yawen thought for a moment and quickly sorted out her thoughts: "I guess... Pei Hong must have given birth to two daughters back then, right?"
Qin Yu was taken aback and remained silent.
“Pei Hong, Pei Nian, Pei Shasha…” Fan Yawen chuckled softly, “So they’re a family!”
"So that means..." Qin Yu's eyes widened, "I have two younger sisters!"
His tone changed: "So, Pei Nian is my sister, and I didn't know it all along?!"
Now it was Huo Jingnan's turn to look at him with disdain.
Based on this analysis, it is indeed very close to the truth.
Qin Yu was bewildered by this sudden fact for a long time, but he immediately thought that he had gained a younger sister and Qin Nuan had gained an aunt, so wasn't that another hope?
"Where...where is Pei Nian? Find her quickly!"
"Do you think I didn't want to?" Huo Jingnan said gruffly. "It must be Pei Shasha... it's your good sister who ruined Niannian!"
“Son, don’t worry.” Fan Yawen tugged at him. “No matter what, we’ve made some progress. Niannian is most likely in Pei Shasha’s hands… But we can’t alert her. You have to keep pretending. Once Pei Shasha is in our hands, heh… then she won’t have a say in the matter!”

As the anesthesia wore off, Pei Shasha slowly regained consciousness. She saw herself lying on the operating table, with no one around, and the entire room was eerily quiet.
Without thinking twice, she forced herself to jump off the operating table and frantically searched for the hospital exit.
The hospital was eerily quiet tonight; all the buildings were pitch black, not a single light was on, except for the emergency exit signs in the corridors that glowed with a ghostly green light, like a scene from a horror movie.
Pei Shasha's heart pounded, and she finally stumbled out the door. She returned home in a panic, only to bump into Uncle Zhong and hear his reproachful voice: "Why are you only coming back now!"
Pei Shasha felt her legs go weak and she had no strength left in her body, so she slumped onto the carpet in front of the sofa.
Just then, her phone rang, startling her so much that she threw it away like a grenade.
Uncle Zhong picked it up for her, and she took several deep breaths before calmly answering the phone: "Hello?"
Jiang Mianmian's sweet voice came from the other end: "Niannian, I hope I didn't bother you so late?"
Pei Shasha took a deep breath and almost squeezed out two words through clenched teeth: "No."
"That's great!" Jiang Mianmian smiled. "There's a dance this weekend, you absolutely have to come!"
"What?"
"Actually, it's a celebration banquet! Our Lu Group's Qingshan Entertainment has had excellent profits this year and has also nurtured many new talents. Some of these new talents have the potential to become top stars, so the company has decided to hold a celebration banquet and invite celebrities from the entertainment industry to pave the way for these new talents and give them more opportunities."
"oh……"
"Judging from your voice, you don't want to come?"
Pei Shasha had a headache and felt irritable, and really wanted to hang up the phone.
"Niannian? Are you listening?"
"Yes, I'm here." Pei Shasha rubbed her temples. "Sister, don't worry, I'll go."
"Great!" Jiang Mianmian smiled broadly. "Bring Jingnan along! Oh, and Junyu's uncle will be coming too. He's a veteran movie star. I'll introduce you two!"
Pei Shasha gave a perfunctory reply.
However, for some reason, Jiang Mianmian was unusually talkative tonight. After finishing talking about the celebration banquet, she started rambling on about other things.
Pei Shasha was afraid that she would notice something amiss, so she didn't dare to respond easily, nor did she dare to interrupt. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and make a phone call for more than an hour until her phone got hot. Only then did she hang up, exhausted, and lean weakly against the sofa.
A deep voice came from behind: "Are you going to that victory celebration party?"
Pei Shasha was startled and turned to meet Uncle Zhong's cold gaze.
“I advise you not to go,” Ah Zhong said calmly. “That phone call tonight was strange… From what I’ve investigated, Miss Lu isn’t the type to ramble on like that. There must be a reason why she suddenly said that to you…”
"Isn't she close to Pei Nian?" Pei Shasha said wearily. "If they're close, they'll naturally chat for a while longer."
Uncle Zhong glanced at her and sighed softly.
"I want to go to this celebration party!" Pei Shasha thought to herself, "That way, I can completely replace Pei Nian!"
"It's not that simple..."
"Can you stop pouring cold water on me?!" Pei Shasha shouted. "You've been like this since we were little. No matter what I do, you can always find fault with it! Back in Southeast Asia, you criticized every decision I made!"
"What you did was wrong to begin with, and I can't even say it?" Ah Zhong was furious. "I was only doing it for your own good!"
"Stop using the guise of doing what's best for me to control my life!" Pei Shasha screamed hysterically. "My mother only entrusted me to your care, not to control me!"
"you……"
"Uncle Zhong, if you really care about me, go and get rid of that bitch in the secret room! Do you hear me?"
