Lin Hao met Yu Mengyu again.
These past few days, he had considered things carefully, or so he thought.
He was willing to sacrifice his life for his father, but if there was a better choice, he naturally hoped to live well.
During these days, Fang Miao privately mentioned some things about "Aunt" to Lin Hao.
According to Fang Miao, Lin Chunju was pampered by Lin Jianping since she was young, growing up naive and spoiled, without experiencing any major hardships.
In her eyes, this younger sister-in-law always had various shortcomings.
But Lin Jianping was completely blind to his sister’s flaws, even during the family’s difficult times, he wanted to take her with them.
Not considering how much trouble it would cause to bring along an unmarried girl in such turbulent times.
Fang Miao just couldn’t stand Lin Jianping’s attitude.
Since he had married her, she should be the most important person to him.
She couldn’t stand her husband always thinking of another woman first,
even if that woman was his own sister.
Because of this mindset, Fang Miao naturally couldn’t say anything good about Lin Chunju.
Lin Hao heard this and had thoughts of his own.
Since his mother said that his father had always doted on his sister, once nearly losing his life because of her trouble,
then it seemed fitting for this aunt to sacrifice her life for his father.
Moreover, his mother had a point.
His aunt wasn’t much younger than his father, so instead of using his young life to exchange for his father’s, it would be better to let his aunt do it.
Comparatively, it was more cost-effective.
With this thought in mind, Lin Hao sought out Yu Mengyu again.
"My father has a biological younger sister, can she be used for the exchange?"
Yu Mengyu listened, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
Previously, seeing Lin Hao’s righteous willingness to sacrifice himself, she thought highly of him.
In the end, he was merely a coward afraid of death.
"Yes, as long as the bloodlines connect."
Hearing this, Lin Hao’s eyes flashed with joy.
But soon he hesitated, "But we can’t find any trace of her now, do you have any special methods?"
Yu Mengyu raised an eyebrow, "I’m not skilled in that area, but I can introduce you to someone."
Lin Hao immediately took out an anonymous bank card from his bag and handed it over.
"This contains some deposit, and there will be a hefty reward once she’s found."
Yu Mengyu took the bank card, handed Lin Hao a business card in return.
"Tomorrow afternoon at three, come to this address."
The address was also in Beijing.
Lin Hao asked, "Can I bring my mother along?"
Fang Miao was also eager to know where the younger sister-in-law was now and how she was doing.
"You can, but don’t bring anyone else."
Yu Mengyu stood up, not wanting to linger.
Before leaving, she reminded Lin Hao, "Do not let anyone else know about these matters, otherwise it won’t end well for you or us."
Lin Hao immediately nodded, "Rest assured, I won’t say more than I should."
Besides, even if he told anyone, they wouldn’t believe it anyway.
The next afternoon, Lin Hao brought Fang Miao to the place on the business card early.
It was an estate on the outskirts of Beijing, with an ancient charm from afar.
The two had their driver wait at a distance while they approached to knock on the courtyard door.
A man with a scar on his face opened the door, casting a prepared look at the two.
The scarred man cautiously scanned the surroundings before allowing them to enter.
Leading them through layers of gardens, the man brought them to a wooden pavilion.
Like a scene from a movie set, it didn’t look like a place people would normally live in.
Seeing this, Lin Hao became even more cautious, careful with his every glance.
"Master, the guests have arrived."
The scarred man respectfully stood at the door.
Only after they heard the sound of a wooden bell inside did he open the door and lead them in.
However, the moment Fang Miao saw the person inside, her face changed dramatically.
Gou Honghe, with an air of mysticism, also changed his expression.
