When Yun Bixue heard Qin Huailing’s reply, she pursed her lips then opened her mouth to ask, “The moment we stepped inside, I looked around the villa. From the suspicious tone of your words, someone must have been here around four years ago, instead of seven or eight years. I want to know who else knows about this place?”
Qin Huailing shut his eyes and answered coldly, “This is my place. Only my men of sacrifice and I know about it. The only other person who knows about this place is Yuan Congjiao. She’s the only person I brought here.” Each time he mentioned Yuan Congjiao, dark waves crashed over his heart. So many years had already passed, yet he still couldn’t come to terms with it.
Yun Bixue’s expression froze. “The Yuan family from Tian Jing City?” The Yuan family had nothing to do with Chu Fei’er at all .
“I want to know all the details about the Yuan family.” She thought that if Yang Mei could investigate and do it, she would be able to do it too. However, she might not uncover as much as what Qin Huailing knew. After all, he had a past with Yuan Congjiao.
Qin Huailing swiveled in his chair, his expression turning solemn. “The power-holders in Tian Jing City have very complicated details. Are you sure you want to know?”
Yun Bixue said staunchly, “I need to know.” In the past, she was restricted within Ning An City. This time, the Du and Zheng families’ assassination attempt involved the power-holders in Tian Jing City. She couldn’t afford to be righteous when her enemies weren’t being fair in the first place. Therefore, she wanted to find out more to be able to protect herself. In addition to that, Xie Limo’s career might eventually involve Tian Jing City after Ning An City.
“Then come with me to the study room!”
Yun Bixue followed Qin Huailing to the study room. He switched on the lights, settled down, and began to draw a map. Yun Bixue waited patiently by the side as an hour passed by.
When she saw the drawing, she couldn’t help but feel surprised. Qin Huailing was indeed a genius. Looking at the map, she actually found a link between the Yuan and An families!
Qin Huailing noticed Yun Bixue’s interest and said, “The current matron of the An family is the daughter from the Yuan family. The two families are in-laws.”
Yun Bixue’s head suddenly cleared up, the map in her hand shaking. A bold thought lit up in her mind, and her eyes began to shine brighter and brighter. “Qin Huailing, thank you. I gained a lot today.” It was true. She finally found a clear lead. She was confident that Chu Fei’er was still alive, and that she had an intimate relationship with Yuan Congjiao.
“It’s great that I had been of help.”
Yun Bixue hesitated, then focused on Qin Huailing. She asked, “If the Yuan family were to land itself in a desperate situation, would you help them?” Deep down, she had wondered about this, so she couldn’t help but ask.
Qin Huailing was intelligent. His gaze focused and he slowly replied, “If that day were to come, leave Yuan Congjiao alone. I will deal with her personally.”
Yun Bixue laughed. “Sure. I will keep this drawing then. Thank you.” Indeed, it was easier to speak with intelligent individuals.

At this time, Xie Limo was already done with his business matters in Tian Jing City. He requested Xie Liu to book his return flight at once. He wanted to rush back to Ning An City.
He hadn’t spoken to his wife for the past few days. He was missing her. Yes, he missed her. He couldn’t deny the feeling at that moment. He also finally understood what it meant to be impatient to go home—he was homesick.
However, he didn’t expect to see an unexpected guest in front of his villa. It was Jiang Jingshan—Miss Jiang!
