Xi Luo had said that if she escaped this ordeal, she would definitely go to find the old man and Ji Zhinan.
But since their separation, Shiloh seemed to have vanished from the world, and there has been no trace of him since.
"When Miss Luo saw Nan Nan and me off, she repeatedly told me not to trust anyone and never to entrust Nan Nan to anyone else. She told me to hide in a remote town where no one would notice and to come out after things had calmed down."
The old man carefully recalled Xi Luo's entrustment to him back then: "Although I don't understand the power struggles in wealthy families, I've been through a lot with you and Miss Luo. I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that someone is still chasing Miss Luo, so Miss Luo has been running away. In the end, she entrusted Nan Nan to me and asked me to take Nan Nan and leave first."
"..."
Li Yuan remained silent, listening attentively until he heard the old man's last sentence, at which point his eyes sharpened.
Another force is chasing after Xiao Luo...
"What is the black card that Xiao Luo mentioned?" Li Yuan asked.
According to Uncle Ji's retelling, Xiao Luo mentioned the "black card" and said things like, "If I touch the black card, those people will come looking for me soon."
"It was Miss Luo who gave me the card along with the jade pendant," said Old Master Ji. "I've already given it to Nan Nan."
Because it was left to Ji Zhinan by Xi Luo, the old man chose a day to give it to her after Ji Zhinan came of age.
“I brought the things,” Gu Yibei, who was sitting next to Ji Zhinan, said.
He turned to look at Shirakawa, who immediately nodded and placed a small wooden box on the coffee table.
Charleson immediately stepped forward and opened the lid of the wooden box, inside were the things the old man had given to Ji Zhinan: a jade pendant and a card.
Li Yuan picked up the jade pendant and gently stroked it in his palm.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the jade pendant in his hand, his fingertips carefully tracing every pattern on it.
Although I had seen the jade pendant on Gu Yibei's phone before, now that I actually have it in my hands, memories from twenty years ago flood back into my mind like a floodgate being opened.
You are the unexpected stirring of my heart, the breathtaking beauty I fear I could never capture.
Without you in this world, life holds no joy.
Under the sycamore tree, Li Yuan personally handed the jade pendant to Xi Luo.
This is my promise to you. Xiao Luo, I want to give you a home.
Young Xiluo held the jade pendant and stared at it intently for a long time before she looked up, carefully examining the young man in front of her, and spoke.
[Brother Yuan, you're not just an ordinary young master from a wealthy family in Beijing... right?]
At that moment, the young Li Yuan simply smiled gently and reached out to embrace her.
Yes, I have many secrets, and I will tell you them all after you become my wife.
[...]
...
Recalling those moments from back then, Li Yuan's eyes dimmed. He clutched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, his gaze falling once more on the black card lying in the box.
“I’ve already checked this card,” Gu Yibei said. “It’s an Infinite Black Card.”
Unlimited Black Cards...
With just four words, Li Yuan understood everything.
The Infinite Black Card is not advertised and is not open to customer applications. It is a lucky card selected from the most prestigious Platinum Card holders, a symbol of status, and absolutely impossible to obtain without privilege.
Because the card is so rare, the customer's identity information is kept absolutely confidential. Even Gu Yibei has been investigating for so long and still can't find out who the owner of this black card is.
