Yue Qiu found herself even more surprised. “So, about the Cheng family…”

“Oh, you mean Lady Yuqi? Master Bo isn’t particularly fond of her.” Mu Qing avoided mentioning Lady Yuqi’s true status as a fake daughter. Instead, he revealed, “Miss Fang Yuan is also part of the Cheng family, and both sides have given their approval for this union.”

“That’s reassuring…” Yue Qiu had been concerned that this situation might strain relations between the two families. “In the end, we’re still family; destiny has brought us together.”

At 11:30 pm, Fang Yuan returned to Jin’an Garden.

“Sister, you’re back?” Cheng Yuqi, who was on her way downstairs, spotted Fang Yuan ascending the stairs and greeted her.

In a sudden gust of wind, Cheng Yuqi noticed the kiss mark on Fang Yuan’s neck. It caught her off guard, causing her heart to ache sharply. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “Sister, why are you back so late? Did you go out with Brother-in-law?” Even though Cheng Yuqi suspected that Fang Yuan had been with Bo Yi, she struggled to accept it when confronted with the visible evidence on her sister’s neck.

Bo Yi was known for his reserved and abstinent demeanor. How could he have kissed a woman so passionately? Cheng Yuqi was convinced that Fang Yuan must have seduced him.

“Sister, while our family doesn’t have any strict rules, it’s better to return home early. If rumors spread, people might question our upbringing.”

Fang Yuan lifted her head and asked calmly, “Do you have feelings for Bo Yi?”

“I, well, 1 don’t have any feelings for him…” Cheng Yuqi turned her face away and denied it, unable to meet Fang Yuan’s gaze. Her denial wasn’t out of fear of Fang Yuan but of her parents, as confessing her affection for Bo Yi in person was unthinkable.

“In that case, maintain your distance,” Fang Yuan replied nonchalantly. “Mind your own business.”

“Sister…” Cheng Yuqi clenched her fists as she watched Fang Yuan ascend the staircase step by step. She was just a girl from a rural background. Who was she to engage in conversation with her? Did Fang Yuan believe herself superior just because she had returned to the Cheng family?

Fang Yuan returned to her bedroom, and her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Big Bai.

“Boss, the situation with the X Gang has been resolved. Furthermore, I’ve gathered information about the fire in the first three rivers from 18 years ago, as you requested.”

“That day was September 10th. Wang Xiang, the janitor who picked up Fang Jiayi, once confided in her close friend that it was a night of heavy rainfall. Back then, the roads hadn’t been repaired, and the downpour created numerous trouble spots on the ground.”

“Around 2 AM, Wang Xiang and a few other janitors were busy cleaning the streets and trying to alleviate the flooding when they suddenly heard an explosion.”

“Then, a series of explosions followed. Initially, Wang Xiang was hesitant to approach the source, but eventually, as she attempted to rescue someone, she observed several unmarked black vehicles speeding away from the inferno in the opposite direction.”

“During that time, it was a rare sight to spot cars in such a remote location… I believe those vehicles may have had some connection to the fire.”

Fang Yuan’s expression darkened. “Who could it be? Why would they detonate the hospital?”

“I find it peculiar as well… But Wang Xiang was solely focused on saving lives at the time and didn’t delve too deeply into it. If she could recall any characteristics of the individuals in those cars, it might aid the investigation.”

“But Wang Xiang has fallen on hard times.”

“Hmm?” Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t she Fang Jiayi’s adoptive mother? Even though Fang Jiayi had already returned to the Fang family, Wang Xiang had raised her diligently. How could she be enduring such hardships?

Big Bai continued, “After Fang Jiayi rejoined the Fang family, they gave Wang Xiang a hundred thousand yuan. She refused the money and merely requested the occasional opportunity to visit Fang Jiayi. However, Fang Jiayi refused to acknowledge her and wanted nothing to do with her.”

“Wang Xiang made a few attempts to visit the Fang family, but the servants chased her away. Her health has deteriorated, and she’s lost her job. She has no income, no children, and no relatives to support her. It’s quite a pitiable situation.”

“An ungrateful individual.” Fang Yuan was well aware of Fang Jiayi’s character. Her previous identity was a source of shame for her.

She preferred to cast aside Wang Xiang, her adoptive mother who had devoted eighteen years to raising her, in order to ascend the social hierarchy.

“There’s another peculiar detail. During that time, a number of high-ranking officials from the health center were missing. The records were also nowhere to be found.”

“Now, our best leads come from Wang Xiang and the others who were involved in the rescue efforts. But Boss, brace yourself. It might not be easy to obtain immediate results.”

“Understood.” When Fang Yuan said this, she noticed her phone vibrating. Glancing at it, she saw that Bo Yi had called. “I need to take this call.”

After a brief conversation with Bo Yi, Fang Yuan took a shower and went to bed.

In her dream, she found herself back in the Fang family. There, she saw a young girl, holding Song Ling’s hand, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked, “Mommy, when will you come home to visit me again?”

“Fang Yuan, are you finished with your demands? Your father and 1 are swamped every day. We don’t have the time to come see you. It’s just a fever of 39 degrees, for heaven’s sake. Which child hasn’t had a fever? You insist on our return for such a minor issue.. Can’t you be more understanding?”
