After returning to the hotel, Su Li reviewed the series of recent events.
Some things are too strange to explain.
She took an exquisite box out of her bag, inside which was the earring.
What is the secret that Zhou Kai is hiding?
"Sis, why aren't you asleep yet? I see you staring at this earring every night."
Su Chen came out of the room, yawned, and slowly walked towards her.
"It's nothing, just that seeing this reminds me of someone."
"Who gave you this earring? And who are you thinking about?"
Su Li truthfully replied, "This was given to me by my maternal grandmother. She said she had given it to my mother before, and then it was passed on to me."
Su Chen picked up the earring and examined it carefully under the light. "But there's only one, so it can't be worn at all."
"There were originally two, but I lost one."
“There’s nothing strange about that. Keep it as a keepsake; after all, it’s the last thing your grandma and mom left you.” Su Chen shrugged and put the earring back.
Su Li said, "It must have a big secret, but I haven't discovered it yet."
"What secret?"
"Alright, you should go to sleep now. I want to go for a walk."
Su Chen yawned, "You're still going out so late. You're not bad looking, be careful you don't get targeted by bad guys."
"What do you mean 'it's okay'? Go to sleep now."
Su Li put the earrings away, then picked up her coat and went out.
Su Chen went back to his room to continue sleeping.
Walking down the corridor, she pulled her coat tighter and gazed at the bright moon in the sky.
The surroundings were quiet, with the occasional croaking of frogs from the pond.
Quan Ye should be engaged to Song Wan now, right?
She stood by the pond, took a deep breath, and dispelled the vexation in her heart.
Having spent four years by his side, she had hardly had any quiet time alone with him; in the past, he was with her every single day.
'Su Li, you can never escape me!'
The man's devilish voice rang in her ears, and a chill ran down her spine. She instinctively pulled her coat tighter around herself.
Although they have broken up now, she is still a little afraid of him deep down.
"Hey, you guys went out tonight without me, that's so disloyal."
Suddenly, voices came from the side.
Su Li glanced at it, then moved closer to that direction.
A man was standing there making a phone call, and he was speaking loudly.
"Seriously, you just wait, next time I'll see how I get you all drunk."
The man hung up the phone and turned to leave.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Su Li walked over.
The man was surprised when he saw her, then stared at her beautiful, flawless face.
She asked, "Does your phone have a signal?"
Of course there are.
"Didn't you say there's no signal here? Could I borrow your phone to make a call?"
"Miss, are you kidding me? We may be underdeveloped here, but we're not so badly without signal." The man handed her his phone. "Here, I can let you make a call, but you can't call overseas. I don't have any credit."
Su Li took the phone and tried dialing Meng Sangsang's number.
After two beeps, someone answered the call.
Before she could speak, the man snatched the phone back and hung up.
"I told you not to call overseas numbers, but you still did. I don't have the money to burn for you."
The man muttered to himself, then took his phone and left.
Su Li looked at her empty hands, her heart feeling as heavy as if a huge rock was pressing down on it.
