She dreamed about many things in the past.

Some are from past lives, and some are from present lives.

Finally, the picture stopped at the father covered with white cloth.

The father who had always been gentle to her, the father who always helped her escape her mother's punishment, the father who never forgot to prepare birthday gifts for her even when he was angry with her, was lying in the morgue, motionless.

The suppressed despair suffocated her.

Lin Xiaotang sat up from the bed, panting, wheezing like a fish short of oxygen.

In the darkness, she tried to touch the people around her, but all she felt was a blank space.

If it were normal times, if she made a little noise in her sleep, Fu Hansheng would definitely come to hug her first, comfort her, and give her enough sense of security.

But today, the seat next to her was empty.

Fu Hansheng was not next to her.

It's a very strange feeling.

Lin Xiaotang looked around. The room was pitch black, without any light or sound.

The digital clock on the bedside table showed one o'clock.

Lin Xiaotang got out of bed and opened the door.

There were faint voices coming from the corner of the corridor.

Lin Xiaotang frowned. Who would hide there and talk so late? She subconsciously adjusted her breathing and approached carefully.

"Mr. Fu, you seem to have forgotten your purpose."

The woman's voice was somewhat domineering, and the questioning tone was like a sharp sword that instantly pierced Lin Xiaotang's heart.

She inexplicably felt that there were some things that she shouldn't hear.

But she couldn't just turn around and leave.

The man who was always gentle and easy-going towards her now narrowed his eyes and exuded coldness all over his body, as if to condense the air.

Lin Xiaotang held her breath and leaned against the wall, her mind clearer than ever before.

She felt as if she had uncovered some huge secret.

The secret about Fu Hansheng!

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Fu Hansheng seemed like a machine without emotions. "If I don't have a child with her, how can I gain her trust? Lin Jiancheng's death is just the beginning."

Lin Xiaotang's throat felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She opened her mouth but forced herself not to make any sound.

Big tears fell from her eyes, her internal organs were in a mess, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

The woman sneered and did not believe Fu Hansheng's words.

"You have been doted on in a high-profile manner, have never left me, and even have a child as a bargaining chip. I think you are really an infatuated person, Mr. Fu."

Fu Hansheng didn't say anything, but the majesty in his eyes could not be offended.

But the woman standing opposite him didn't seem to be afraid of his arrogance at all.

"Mr. Fu may have fallen into the land of comfort and happiness, and you don't want to leave. Your mission is over, return to the headquarters immediately!"

Fu Hansheng stood tall and straight, looking indifferent.

The woman's eyes were sharp, already tinged with murderous intent, "Mr. Fu, you should know that I can always replace an obedient boss. Just because cloning technology is not on the market doesn't mean it's not mature."

Lin Xiaotang felt as if someone was choking her throat. Was Fu Hansheng's kindness to her all an act?

All for the so-called mission?

Is all the sweetness fake?

She really couldn't accept that "Lin Jiancheng is dead. The things Tang Wan left behind are likely in the hands of their only daughter. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the mission, not to mention that it's just giving birth to two children."

Fu Hansheng's voice was cold and emotionless. Every word he spoke shattered Lin Xiaotang's trust and love for him.

All the vows were like mocking smiles, coming from all directions and wrapping Lin Xiaotang in them.

It turns out that all the beauty is an illusion.

Every sweetness comes with a purpose.

"It's better this way, otherwise, you know the consequences!"

The woman lowered her voice to warn him, then disappeared into the endless darkness.

When Lin Xiaotang heard Fu Hansheng's footsteps, she shrank into the shadows and tiptoed back to her room.

After she lay down in a hurry, Fu Hansheng pushed open the door.

He walked to the bed step by step, and every step trampled on Lin Xiaotang's dignity and made Lin Xiaotang despair.

"I will be loyal to you until death."

"I will always trust you until I die."

The promise seems to be just yesterday, but the person next to me has changed.

Fu Hansheng has never been as simple as he seems on the surface, but at this moment, it is really too ridiculous.

Can she still trust Fu Hansheng? Maybe the dream about her father tonight was her father's soul reminding her and guiding her.

Fu Hansheng lay down and did not hold Lin Xiaotang in his arms as usual.

He lay quietly with his back to Lin Xiaotang, with a very low sense of presence.

He wasn't as affectionate and sweet as before.

But everything has become different.

Sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, that's what it means.

A sleepless night.

The sun will still rise as usual regardless of whether the people on this planet are happy or not, or whether they can sleep or not.

Lin Xiaotang and Fu Hansheng each had their own concerns and consciously avoided each other.

Lin Xiaotang said she had to go to the company to work overtime.

Fu Hansheng said he had to go back to the base to do some work.

Sixian and Siqi stared with their big round eyes, very confused. Just abandoning them at home?

Yay~ I can let myself go today~ The two little ones' house-wrecking blood has finally awakened, and they decided to start a day full of energy.

——

Lin Xiaotang and Lin Dengke agreed to meet at the beach. Lin Xiaotang held a cup of hot coffee, but her nose was still red from the cold wind.

Lin Xiaotang told Lin Dengke everything An Xiaodie had found out, word for word, "Brother, what do you think?"

Lindenko's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly.

"According to you, you think that the car accident of Second Uncle and the murder at Dushan Jade Mine were both caused by the same person?"

This is what Lin Xiaotang meant.

"That mouse hiding in the darkness was waiting for an opportunity to gain more benefits. I guess it wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the company after my father's death to achieve its own goals. But it didn't expect that I would resolutely take the position of president. This made it lose its advantage and wanted to kill me."

She didn't know whether that person was related to Fu Hansheng.

I just feel that Fu Hansheng may not be completely unaware.

Lin Xiaotang was in a very bad condition, her voice was hoarse and she looked listless. Lin Dengke had no idea what had happened that could make his little sister, who always paid attention to her image, look so decadent and tired.

"I can guarantee that my dad will never hurt Second Uncle, Xiaotang, you have to trust your family."

Lindenko couldn't guarantee anything else, but he could guarantee his father's character.

Lin Xiaotang understood.

"I didn't doubt Third Uncle. Even when Xiao Ma put a pair of evidence in front of me, saying that the person who bribed his father was Third Uncle, I never believed it."

Lindenko was surprised that there was something he didn't know.

He didn't blame Lin Xiaotang for hiding it.

Although information sharing can lead to more comprehensive analysis and layout, everyone has their own considerations and secrets.

Now that Lin Xiaotang said it herself, isn't it a kind of trust?
