The agreement with Zhen Zhu would be fulfilled very soon, and the person behind the scenes was already on the verge of being revealed.

He didn’t know what the other party would do next.

However, since Shen Hanyu had already grasped the opportunity, he would not give them any more chances to do evil.

The premise was that he wanted Sang Qianqian to be absolutely safe.

“I guarantee that everything will be peaceful in less than a month. When we return to Ming City, you can do whatever you want.”

Shen Hanyu stared at her. “Qianqian, can you do what you promised me?”

He only needed her to not go to the Xie family’s residence or meet Ruan Xiaodie for the next month. She needed to stay under his protection as much as possible.

In this way, he would not have any worries and was confident that he could guarantee her safety.

Sang Qianqian knew what Shen Hanyu was worried about.

It was only now that she finally understood why he was so worried that night. She also finally understood why he had gone through so much trouble.

Ruan Xiaodie was too scary. Her innocent face and child-like intelligence were her strongest weapons.

She had spent almost every week alone with Ruan Xiaodie, and if the girl wanted to do something to Sang Qianqian, Shen Hanyu would have no room to react.

“Are you almost done?”

Sang Qianqian asked him, “Uncle’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. Grandma said that the whole family will be gathering tonight. Can you make it back in time?”

“Yes,” Shen Hanyu nodded. “I’ll be a little late, but I can definitely make it.”

“Okay, that’s good.”

Sang Qianqian paused for a moment and said softly, “Sister Xiaoshuang’s cornea-transplant surgery is scheduled for three days later. When the time comes, let’s go to the hospital together. After her surgery is over, you can accompany me to find Director Miao.”

She smiled. “If he doesn’t allow me to resign, you can tell him yourself.”

The capital was not a place to stay for long, and she had always wanted to return to Ming City.

If the Zhen family’s matters could be settled and Shen Hanyu could leave, it would not be a bad thing for them to return to Ming City earlier.

Shen Hanyu looked at her and smiled. “Okay.”

That night, Sang Qianqian couldn’t fall asleep.

There were too many questions in the past that she didn’t dare to think too deeply about. But now, she had to think about them.

The black drawing kept appearing in her mind.

Ruan Xiaodie’s ultimate goal of returning to the capital might be contained in that drawing.

If she failed to save Cui Yi, she might as well just kill him, which was in line with the psychological state shown in this picture.

However, Ruan Xiaodie had been stimulated when she was young, so there must be a problem with her intelligence. Otherwise, Ruan Cheng would not have sent her abroad for treatment for so long.

Who was the one who cured her mental problems after so many years, and how was she able to use that poison?

The prescription for Cui Yi’s fake death could only be obtained from Professor Fu’er’s research materials. Moreover, it was only recorded in the notebook and never announced to the public.

So how did Ruan Xiaodie know?

Thinking about how she had painstakingly pretended to be an ignorant child and lied to everyone for so long, Sang Qianqian felt a lingering fear.

She could deceive Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaoshuang, but as a doctor, Sang Qianqian had been treating her for so long, but she never found any clues. She did not show any signs of suspicion either. Her shrewdness was really terrifying.

Even if her secret was discovered, she would never give in obediently. No one knew what she could do.

Sang Qianqian thought about how many months it had been since Ruan Xiaodie returned to the capital. What kind of chess game did she want to play?

The next night, Sang Qianqian went to the Zhen family’s house again. She finally accompanied Old Lady Zhen and decided on the venue and format of Zhen Yiping’s birthday party.

As Old Lady Zhen didn’t want to be too ostentatious, she also didn’t want Zhen Yiping to remember the past when Zhen Zhu caused a ruckus at his birthday banquet. On that day, she would celebrate Zhen Yiping’s birthday with a family boat session.

There was a huge lake in the suburbs of the capital. There was also a place named Lakeview Manor there, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.

The summer weather was hot, and it would be nice to go boating at night. When the time came, the family could chat while rowing the boat. In a relaxed and casual atmosphere, they would celebrate Zhen Yiping’s birthday.

When Sang Qianqian told Zhen Zhu the news, Zhen Zhu didn’t say if she would come or not. She only asked, “Will Cousin Hanyu be coming?”

“Yes, he said he would be late, but he will definitely make it.” Sang Qianqian told her Shen Hanyu’s answer.

“In that case,” Zhen Zhu said, “1’11 have to trouble Cousin-in-law to help me tell Grandma that I’ll be there.”

Old Lady Zhen was overjoyed when she heard the news.

The next day would be the 18th, which was a Friday.

Shen Hanyu had just returned from abroad today.

Before boarding the plane, he gave Sang Qianqian a call. He estimated that the plane would only land at around seven o’clock at night.

Although it was a little late, it was indeed as he said; he would definitely arrive at the gathering.

Sang Qianqian especially took two hours off and left work early for this occasion. She accompanied Old Lady Zhen to Lakeview Manor with Zhen Zhen to prepare a surprise for tonight’s birthday guy.

The surprise was arranged on a gorgeous cruise ship. Sang Qianqian didn’t ask the staff for help and personally led Zhen Zhen around.

It was Zhen Zhen’s first time participating in such an activity. When she saw the finished results, she was very excited. “Dad will be very happy to see this.”

“If your sister can come, your father will be even happier.”

The old lady was both relieved and worried. She was afraid that Zhen Zhu would forget about this matter or change her mind at the last minute.

However, Zhen Zhu had not forgotten.

On the contrary, because she had agreed to attend the birthday party that night, she felt uneasy the entire day. She even felt a little regretful.

Her relationship with Zhen Yiping had been like fire and water all these years.

Even if they had some interactions now, it was only limited to work.

It was true that Zhen Yiping did give her a lot of care and tolerance, but Zhen Zhu didn’t appreciate it.

After all, the grudge in her heart would not disappear because of such a small favor.

She really didn’t want to attend Zhen Yiping’s birthday party, even if it was just for a simple meal.

However, Shen Hanyu was going to give her an answer that night. The questions that had been bothering her for so many years would finally be answered.

Therefore, she still decided to go.

She waited until it was almost seven o’clock when Shen Hanyu’s plane landed before she left the company and drove to Lakeview Manor.

The building’s parking lot was still some distance away from the lake. It would take four to five minutes to walk there.

Fortunately, even though it was night, the place was brightly lit. Due to this, the boat parked by the lake was visible.

Zhen Zhu slowly walked forward, but after a few steps, she suddenly froze.

A familiar figure was supporting himself in front of a familiar car. His usually upright posture was now hunched badly.

His hand was pressed tightly against his abdomen, and he seemed to be in great pain. Under the light, cold sweat dripped from his forehead..
