"Youbao?"
Shi Heng subconsciously reached out and caught the photo album that slipped from Gu Youran's hand.
When I looked up, I saw her face covered with tears, and my heart suddenly tightened.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears.
Gu Youran suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Her fingers were cold, but her strength was astonishingly great, as if she was using all her strength.
"When I was unconscious... I saw in my dream..."
Her voice was broken, and her trembling fingertips pressed tightly against the old man's face in the photo.
"Twenty-two years ago, this man... killed my mother."
Shi Heng shook his head violently and instinctively retorted, "This is impossible! How can a dream be taken seriously?"
Gu Youran looked at him steadily.
"Have you forgotten? I once foresaw your parents' car accident in my dream and helped you and Renault... When have my dreams ever gone wrong?"
Shi Heng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Because these are undeniable facts.
Gu Youran continued, "I remember every detail... The man was wearing a gray robe and a half-silver mask. The scar on his face stretched from the corner of his mouth to behind his ear..."
Her eyes fell on Shi Heng's hand. "The little finger on his right hand is broken, and he's wearing a snake-shaped ruby ring... It's exactly the same as yours."
Shi Heng's heart sank to the bottom.
One feature may be coincidental.
But the scar, the ring, the robe, the mask... all the details match.
"Youbao..."
He suddenly hugged the trembling Gu Youran into his arms and said, "I swear, I know nothing about this."
His arms tightened as he said in a deep voice, "If it was really Grandpa who did it... I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation."
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by a deafening thunder.
The rain poured down, and raindrops as big as beans hit the glass windows.
Gu Youran gradually calmed down in his warm embrace.
She suddenly realized that when the tragedy happened twenty-two years ago, Shi Heng was only a seven-year-old child.
It was impossible for him to know those dark past events.
"Trust me, take a rest first, okay?"
Shi Heng lowered his voice and bent down to take off her shoes.
Gu Youran lay down obediently, Shi Heng took off his shoes and lay beside her, patting her back gently.
Surprisingly, Shi Heng actually hummed a melody softly.
There are no lyrics, just a simple tune, but it is surprisingly beautiful.
This was the first time Gu Youran heard him hum a song after all their long marriage.
His deep voice resonates like a cello, carrying a reassuring power.
Gu Youran buried her face in his chest, her ears filled with the sound of his strong heartbeat.
Gradually, her breathing became steady and her furrowed brows relaxed.
Shi Heng held his breath and stared at the sleeping face of the person in his arms motionlessly.
Until he was sure that her eyelashes were no longer trembling and her chest was rising and falling regularly.
Only then did he carefully stand up.
There was no emotion on his face.
But there was already a storm in my heart.
His fingers unconsciously rubbed the snake-shaped ruby ring.
The hideous scar on my grandfather's face in the photo kept appearing in my mind.
A terrible thought swirled in his mind.
If...if Grandpa is really the murderer of Youbao's mother...
The thought almost suffocated him.
How should he face this possible blood feud?
How should he face the wife he loves so deeply in his arms?
Shi Heng tiptoed back to the door and took one last look back.
Gu Youran seemed to be sleeping soundly on the bed.
He closed the door gently, turned around and walked quickly towards the secret room.
No matter how cruel the truth is, he must get to the bottom of it.
Little did he know that Gu Youran opened his eyes as soon as the door was closed.
She wasn't actually asleep, she was just pretending to be asleep.
She lay quietly, listening carefully to the sound of Shi Heng's footsteps as he left.
After the footsteps completely disappeared, she counted silently in her heart:
“1, 2, 3…98, 99, 100!”
After counting to one hundred, she threw back the covers and quickly put on her shoes.
At the same time, he took out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number.
…
At the same time, in the VIP box on the top floor of the Royal Court Club.
Renault was accompanying Mr. Lei to entertain several important business partners.
Suddenly he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.
He didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw the word "Youyou" on the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat.
"Excuse me."
He stood up in such a hurry that he didn't even bother to correct the wine glass that had knocked over.
I walked quickly into the corridor, my fingers shaking uncontrollably.
"Hello?" He pressed the answer button.
Gu Youran's urgent voice came, "Renault, where are you? I must see you right away."
Renault subconsciously glanced at his watch. It was nine fifty.
At this time, with such a panicked tone...
He immediately lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
"I..." A suppressed sob came from the other end of the phone.
Renault's heart tightened. "Tell me where you are, I'll come right over."
"Shi family...old house..."
"Wait for me." Renault hung up the phone and strode out.
As Lei Shuangcheng just chased out of the club gate, he saw Renault's car rushing out like an arrow.
"Fuck! What the hell is wrong with the boss!"
Lei Shuangcheng stomped his feet in anger and quickly called the bodyguards behind him.
"Hurry up and get in the car! The Third Young Master has been making some moves lately, so don't let anything go wrong!"
