Ran Xiangsi bit her lower lip tightly, her hands clenched, her whole body trembling uncontrollably...
She quietly hid behind the flowerbed in the backyard, not wanting anyone to see her weakness at this moment.
Nor did she want to shatter the dream that Xing Chen had woven for her...
Until the delicate lips were chafed and a strong taste of blood instantly spread to her mouth, Ran Xiangsi squinted her eyes. In her gaze was the brilliance and rebirth of a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis!
From this moment on, a brand new Ran Xiangsi...

After finishing the phone call, Yue Nanshan didn’t see Ran Xiangsi’s figure, so he called out after taking a few steps, "Miss Ran?"
Ran Xiangsi heard Yue Nanshan’s voice, and an idea suddenly flickered in her mind.
She couldn’t let Xing Chen know she had been here, nor could she let him know that she already understood what happened last night...
He cared so much about her, she really shouldn’t worry him anymore.
Thinking of this, Ran Xiangsi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked out quickly.
Yue Nanshan heard her and walked towards her.
"Miss Ran, why are you here? Could it be that you got lost? Young Master Xing is over here..." saying this, he prepared to take Ran Xiangsi over.
But she suddenly shook her head and smiled, "I better not go. I told him earlier that I was going to school. If he saw me here, he would definitely say something to me... Hehe, Mr. Yue, thank you so much for today. I’ll head off first. Please don’t tell him I came here later!"
Deliberately saying some playful words, Ran Xiangsi tried to appear as natural as possible.
Yue Nanshan didn’t suspect anything upon hearing this. Matters between husband and wife were none of his business to inquire into thoroughly.
So he nodded, "Alright, do you need me to send someone to take you home?"
"No, no, I’ll go back myself!" Ran Xiangsi continued smiling while glancing at Yue Nanshan.
Yue Nanshan originally thought it was nothing, but that one glance revealed the issue, "Miss Ran, why are your eyes red?"
"Ah? The wind got into my eyes just now, I’m leaving! Bye!" Without daring to explain further, Ran Xiangsi dashed past Yue Nanshan and ran away.
But Yue Nanshan, looking at her departing figure, despite feeling a bit puzzled, did not probe deeper.
He turned around and went to the place where Gu Beichuan was being held.
Just as he walked over and was about to knock on the door, he saw the door being opened from inside.
Xing Chen walked out with his brows furrowed, his steps composed.
"Young Master Xing." Yue Nanshan stood respectfully to the side, glancing at Gu Beichuan who was bound to the chair inside.
It seemed nothing had happened...
Xing Chen barely nodded, instructing, "Someone will be here soon to take him away. Don’t leave any records at the police station, you know what to do."
"Young Master Xing, rest assured, this matter will be handled flawlessly." Yue Nanshan wasn’t new to policing and understood Xing Chen’s intent.
The fact that Gu Beichuan had been to the police station would not be known to anyone else; without records, it would be as if he had never been there.
In the future, no one would be able to trace where Gu Beichuan went or who took him.
However... Yue Nanshan hesitated for a moment and still spoke, "Director Li called just now. He said the old superior personally called him, asking him to handle those who had worked for Miss Lou."
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen’s steps abruptly halted.
