But where is her family?”

Lin Tian let out a sigh as he turned to look at Shangguan Xin’s delicate profile.

Then, he got up, looked around, entered the room to find a blanket, and gently covered Shangguan Xin with it.

After making sure the windows in his brother’s room were shut, Lin Tian was ready to grab his bag and leave.

But just as he reached the door, Shangguan Xin woke up.

“Lin Tian!”

Shangguan Xin almost reflexively sat up and, seeing Lin Tian at the door, hurriedly called out.

“Sister Xin, did you have a nightmare?”

Lin Tian stopped in his tracks and turned back to ask.

“No, I’m sorry, I’m just a bit tired.

I fell asleep without realizing it!”

Shangguan Xin’s face turned slightly red with apology as she spoke, “Lin Tian, are you leaving?”

“Yeah, it’s quite late now, I was planning to go back to the hotel to rest.

I’ll be leaving tomorrow!”

Lin Tian smiled and nodded, speaking softly, “Sister Xin, don’t overwork yourself, take care of your health!”

“Then, let’s go downstairs together!

I was planning to visit the hospital!”

Hearing Lin Tian was leaving, a look of sadness crossed Shangguan Xin’s face, and she got up wearily, nodding as she spoke.

“To the hospital?”

Lin Tian frowned and, enveloping Shangguan Xin with his Divine Sense, he scanned her, “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?

I can take a look for you!”

“It’s not that…”

Shangguan Xin gave a wry smile and shook her head, “I’m going to check on my mother!

I’ll just take a look and then come back!”

“Isn’t there someone to take care of her?

You’re so tired after getting off work late, why don’t you go tomorrow instead?”

Seeing how weary Shangguan Xin looked, Lin Tian couldn’t help but advise, “If you collapse from exhaustion, it’ll only cause more trouble!

Sister Xin, why don’t you make a phone call instead, and I’ll accompany you to see your mother in the morning before I leave, okay?”

“Really?

Then…

would you stay here?

I’m a bit scared on my own!”

Shangguan Xin’s face displayed a mix of nervousness and blush, speaking softly and joyfully, “And since you’ve come all this way, at least let me treat you to a meal, right?

I’ll go buy some groceries and cook.

Let’s have a few drinks!”

Hearing that Lin Tian would accompany her to the hospital tomorrow, Shangguan Xin’s tired expression vanished, replaced by an inexplicably excited joy, her beautiful eyes shining with anticipation.

“Sure!

With such a lovely invitation from Sister Xin, even sleeping on the couch tonight would be worth it!”

Seeing the hopeful look in Shangguan Xin’s eyes, Lin Tian readily agreed.

After all, it was rare for him to come to this area, and encountering an acquaintance, it didn’t matter if the hotel room was left empty, and the money was not a concern to him.

Seeing that Lin Tian had agreed, Shangguan Xin’s face lit up with joy.

She quickly went downstairs to the small market by the front gate of the residential complex and returned with some groceries and a bottle of red wine.

Half an hour later, the two of them sat at the dining table, drinking and chatting intermittently.

“Your family?”

Lin Tian looked up, asking casually.

“This is a rented house.

It’s just my younger brother and me at home; we’re orphans!

We were raised by a foster mother…”

Shangguan Xin took a sip of wine, her reply tinged with a trace of bitterness.

“Is your mother sick?”

After a moment of silence, Lin Tian spoke up, “I’ll go with you to see her tomorrow!”

“Yes!

Her condition hasn’t been good lately, so I came back here to work and take care of her.”

Shangguan Xin nodded gently, but her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said, “I almost forgot, I need to call the hospital to see if my mom has eaten anything…”

As she spoke, Shangguan Xin took out her mobile phone and made a call.

“Nurse Zhang, has my mom woken up and eaten anything?”

After the call connected, Shangguan Xin asked anxiously.

After a while, upon hearing the reply from the other side, Shangguan Xin’s expression relaxed, and then she hung up.

After the meal, Shangguan Xin was clearly a bit tipsy.

She tried to persuade Lin Tian to go back to his room to sleep, intending to sleep on the couch herself, but he declined.

The two sat on the couch for a while, but whether from exhaustion or the alcohol, Shangguan Xin fell into a deep sleep again.

Lin Tian could only smile wryly, seeing that Shangguan Xin was sleeping soundly, and carried her back to the room.

“Leave now?

Or stay?”

After stepping out of the room, Lin Tian hesitated but eventually shook his head with a sigh, “Forget it, I have to accompany Sister Xin to the hospital tomorrow anyway, might as well stay!”

With this thought, Lin Tian used the bathroom at Shangguan Xin’s place to wash up and changed into clean clothes, then he took the blanket Shangguan Xin had prepared earlier and went to sleep on the couch.

The next day.

Early morning.

As a rustling sound filled the air, Lin Tian opened his eyes and got up from the couch.

A figure was already busy in the living room, it was Shangguan Xin.

“You’re awake?

Did I disturb you?

I’m used to waking up early and took the liberty of washing and drying your clothes for you!”

Shangguan Xin walked in from the balcony, carrying a few articles of clothing, and set them down next to the couch, smiling.

But then, as if something crossed her mind, her cheeks turned slightly red.

“Right, there’s also your bag, it looked all dirty, so I washed it for you!”

Before Lin Tian could say anything, Shangguan Xin continued: “I didn’t touch anything inside, I left everything by the couch.

I’ve made breakfast, come and eat with me…”

Hearing this, Lin Tian’s expression changed suddenly and he got up and walked over.

When he saw that the Dragon whisker, Soul Nourishing Grass, Ancient Map, and other items were all intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Lin Tian’s anxious manner, Shangguan Xin was taken aback and asked in surprise, “Lin Tian, are these things very valuable?”

“Yes, they are at least very important to me!”

Lin Tian nodded solemnly.

“But…

those two strange fragments you have, I’ve seen something like them before, they don’t seem that important though?”

Shangguan Xin looked bewildered, then covered her mouth and chuckled: “Lin Tian, these wouldn’t happen to be a treasure map or something, would they?”

“Wait!”

Lin Tian suddenly looked up, his expression grew serious: “Sister Xin, are you sure you’ve seen this exact design before?”

“Of course!

Your two pieces are almost identical to the one I saw, except the patterns on them are different, there’s hardly any other difference!”

Shangguan Xin nodded firmly and explained: “It was back at the Natural Corner Hotel; there were a few youths who were drunk, looking disreputable.

They were causing trouble in another private room, then took one of these map fragments, lit it with a lighter, and threw it into someone’s hot pot!

Amazingly, even when the fragment touched the water, the flames didn’t go out, and the map didn’t look like it was burning at all…

when security arrived, those guys fished the fragment out and left!”

“Do you remember what those people looked like?

Or their names or anything?”

Lin Tian’s eyes narrowed sharply, and he pressed for details urgently.

“If I see them again, I should be able to recognize them!”

Seeing Lin Tian’s serious demeanor, Shangguan Xin also pondered earnestly for a while and then said, “As for their names, I would have to go to the hotel and check the invoices, and that would mean going to the accounts department, maybe even the headquarters!

Our hotel’s invoices are always very strictly managed!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, and he nodded: “Sister Xin, let’s have breakfast, I’ll accompany you to the hospital, and then I’ll go back to the hotel with you to help me retrieve the invoice issued to those guys!”
