"Is she really a patient?" Lu Zhiwei asked with a sneer.
"What do you mean?" Shen Jinmo asked coldly, his jawline tightening.
"Did you see the tattoo behind the ear of the man who kidnapped her in the surveillance footage? On the day you misunderstood me for pushing her at the nursing home, a few minutes before the surveillance cameras were destroyed, this tattooed man also entered and exited the nursing home. He had been lurking around Xia Wanying all along. When Captain Liu and I were investigating my grandmother's case, we inadvertently discovered Xia Wanying's past. This man was already by her side while she was in the welfare home."
Lu Zhiwei told Shen Jinmo everything she knew.
Whether he is willing to let love blind him is his own business.
Having said all she had to say, Lu Zhiwei turned and went upstairs, leaving Shen Jinmo with a cold and resolute back view.
The moment the iron gate slammed shut, all the colors in Shen Jinmo's eyes seemed to fade.
If Xia Wanying's arrival at the Shen family was the beginning of a meticulously planned scheme, then this was the start of a whole new story.
For her sake, he pushed away a woman who deserved to be cherished more.

The darkness recedes, and the dawn breaks.

He had a laptop on his lap; one night was enough for him to thoroughly investigate someone.

The tattooed man was like a shadow living beside Xia Wanying, never leaving her side for more than ten years.
He didn't notice anything unusual at all.
"Young Master, someone left a letter at the gate of the old house." The servant rushed up and handed him a light-colored wooden envelope.
Shen Jinmo put down the watering can, took the envelope, and pulled it out.
There was a pair of sapphire earrings inside, a gift he gave to Xia Wanying, stained with dried blood.
There was also a letter.
The letter unfolded, revealing only a few words at the top: "[If you want to save Xia Wanying, trade Lu Zhiwei's life for hers. 7 PM at the East Suburb Wharf. If you don't see Lu Zhiwei, we'll kill her immediately.]"
After reading it, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground.
