Having calmed her emotions, Nangong Feifei turned her head and glanced at Nangong Xi, "Grandfather, since Xi is alright, I will head back first."
After she spoke, she didn’t wait for Nangong He to speak and rose from the sofa to leave.
As she was leaving, she cast a glance at Gu Qiangwei.
Gu Qiangwei certainly noticed her unfriendly gaze but ultimately chose to ignore it.
At that moment, Tang Yuyan’s phone began to ring.
Setting down her spoon, Tang Yuyan took out her mobile phone and saw that it was from a private detective.
Looking up at Nangong He and Nangong Mingchuan, she walked out of the ward to answer the call.
At the end of the corridor, near a window, Tang Yuyan walked over to take the call.
Soon, the private detective’s voice came through.
"Mrs. Nangong, on the same day you had your car accident twelve years ago, Gu Zhendong’s wife also disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuyan’s heart skipped a beat.
"His wife, what was her name?"
Tang Yuyan was taken aback again.
The same surname as Tang?
However, she had no recollection of this name in her memory.
"What else did you find?" she asked again.
At this time, the private detective was standing not far from the entrance of Gu Mansion.
"Still investigating, but it seems that the only people who knew the truth were Gu Zhendong and his later wife, but now Gu Zhendong is dead, and the only one who knows the truth is his current wife, Chen Peifang."
After a long while, Tang Yuyan spoke again, "Could Tang Yuyan and Tang Xinruo be the same person?"
On the other side, the private detective also slightly raised his eyes, gazing at the figure walking on the second-floor balcony at Gu Mansion.
"It’s possible, but it might also just be a coincidence. Further investigation is needed."
But at this moment, Tang Yuyan’s face turned pale.
If she was Tang Xinruo, then...
No, how could that be? If she had once had a child, she would surely know!
Moreover, even if she had been in a car accident, it would be impossible to just vanish without a trace. She had a child, she had family; even in the event of a car accident, she would have been found, wouldn’t she?
What exactly happened back then?
Why did Tang Xinruo disappear without a trace?
As if suddenly remembering something, Tang Yuyan asked urgently, "Did Tang Xinruo marry Gu Zhendong?"
If Tang Xinruo really was herself, and she loved Mingchuan, why would she marry another man?
"Yes, but rumor has it that he cheated with Chen Peifang on their wedding day, who is now his wife."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuyan fell into a daze.
Cheating on the wedding day suggests that Gu Zhendong had poor character; if she really was the bride, why had she fancied such a man and married him?
"What happened later?"
"Afterward, Tang Xinruo bore a daughter, only to be neglected by Gu Zhendong. It wasn’t long before he openly brought Chen Peifang and their soon-to-be-born son, Gu Shijie, to Gu Mansion. Not long after, Tang Xinruo just evaporated from the earth."
Hearing that, it seemed as if Tang Xinruo’s disappearance might have something to do with Chen Peifang?
Could it be that in order to rise to the position of Mrs. Gu, she had killed Tang Xinruo?
Tang Yuyan frowned, feeling that the events of that year were becoming even more complicated.
Are Tang Xinruo and Tang Yuyan actually the same person?
If so, is Qiangwei truly her child?
No, she must get to the bottom of this matter.
"Continue your investigation, but most importantly, I need to know whether Tang Xinruo and Tang Yuyan are indeed the same person."
