If it weren’t for the car accident, Wen Jin would have already secured evidence against Zhou Mingfu.

Despite their previous lack of interaction with Wen Jin, they had heard a fair share of his affairs. After some thought, Gu Kai asked MO Xiuchen, “What’s your plan now, exposing Cheng Jia or pretending to not know?”

MO Xiuchen mused, “For the time being, I won’t expose her. Zhou Mingfu has already discovered the hidden surveillance on him, he just hasn’t figured out who’s behind it.”

Gu Kai expressed disappointment, “Wen Jin, since he was already monitoring Zhou Mingfu, should have managed to collect more evidence. How did they find out?”

MO Xiuchen coldly chuckled, “Zhou Mingfu wouldn’t be where he is now if he were foolish. He has always been cautious, especially after the death of Wen Hongrui and his wife in a car accident. He wouldn’t dare be careless.”

It is commendable that Wen Jin had managed to monitor at all in such circumstances.

“Here is something I brought for you. You can get it tested.”

Slightly hesitant, MO Xiuchen took out his wallet, pulled out a transparent bag from it, and inside were two black strands of hair.

Gu Kai’s expression froze instantly!

His dark eyes stared at the transparent bag in his hand. His breathing was heavy, and he didn’t reach out to take it.

“Ah Kai, I know what you’re afraid of. You’re scared that Wen Ran isn’t the person you are looking for, and that you’ll be disappointed once again.”

Having been seen through by MO Xiuchen, Gu Kai’s handsome face turned pale

and his lips pressed tightly together.

He had become all too familiar with the process over the years. For a while, he did it almost obsessively. Every girl around his sister’s age, or girls from orphanages, he can’t even remember how many times he had been disappointed.

He would never forget the words his mother said to him on her deathbed…

His hesitation this time arose from the fact that, over the years, Wen Ran felt like the most familiar girl to him. Whenever he was around her, he couldn’t help but want to be nice to her.

He understood that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Whether he was being labeled as a coward or a self-deceiver, he was genuinely afraid of being disappointed again. By not seeking the truth, he can keep deceiving himself that Wen Ran is the sister he has been seeking. Once the truth surfaces, deceiving himself would no longer be an option.

MO Xiuchen frowned, grabbed his hand, put the transparent bag into his hand, and said in a deep voice, “Think it over if you want to do the test. I hope at least one of us can fulfill our wish.”

With those words, MO Xiuchen stood up and strode out of the office.

When the sound of the door closing resonated, Gu Kai sat still, maintaining the same posture, staring blankly at the transparent bag in his palm. At this moment, the strands of hair inside felt like a ton of weight.

In his ears, echoed the words his mother had spoken with her last ounce of strength, “Ah Kai, promise me… you have to find… your sister…”

His family was a century-old medical family, and both he and his father were renowned doctors, but they were powerless against his mother’s emotional turmoil, and they could only watch as she died of depression.

Gu Kai slowly bent his slender fingers, gripping the bag tightly. What MO Xiuchen said was right. One of them should at least fulfill their wish.

In the afternoon, Wen Ran appeared at the airport as scheduled, just before 3 o’clock.

Bai Xiaoxiao came out of the security check along with the crowd and gave Wen Ran a big hug.

“Ranran, I brought you lots of gifts, you’re going to love them.”

Apart from getting a little bit tanned, Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t changed at all after her trip and looked very spirited.

“You got back so hurriedly, you still managed to buy gifts?”

Wen Ran glanced at her suitcase with a smile and asked.

“I didn’t buy them last minute. Whenever I saw something I liked during my travels, I bought them on the spot. There are also some snacks, all your favorites. ”

The two chatted while leaving the airport. Wen Ran’s car was parked quite far away. As they headed towards the parking spot, Wen Ran inadvertently saw a familiar figure in the parking lot.

Bai Xiaoxiao was in the middle of talking when she noticed Wen Ran suddenly stop. Looking surprised, she followed Wen Ran’s gaze and saw a man standing by a black Aston Martin a few steps away. She blurted out, “Ranran, isn’t that MO Xiuchen? Who’s that woman?”

Wen Ran pursed her lips and didn’t respond, silently watching MO Xiuchen and the stylish short-haired woman get into the car. She then retracted her gaze and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”

“Ranran, don’t you know that woman either?”

They got into the car, and Bai Xiaoxiao asked with concern. She noticed Wen Ran’s discomfort. Despite not saying anything, Bai Xiaoxiao had seen MO

Xiuchen chatting with the woman outside the car, who had a radiant smile.

Although MO Xiuchen did not smile as brightly as her, he still had a soft smile on his lips, with no hint of indifference or distance on his face.

Wen Ran gave a faint smile and casually replied, “I don’t know her, perhaps a friend of his or something like that. Xiaoxiao, are you going home, or somewhere else?”

Seeing Wen Ran not keen to discuss further, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t press for more. As she was buckling her seatbelt, she replied, “I’ll go home first. I need to get the bracelet and then go to Xiao’s company.”

“You’re giving it to Xiao Yuting?”

Looking at Bai Xiaoxiao with suspicion, Wen Ran wondered if she was acting impulsively.

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed at Wen Ran’s concern and scolded playfully, “Ranran, don’t look at me as if I’ve gone crazy. I don’t want to be the one being dumped.

It should be me proposing to end the engagement. It should be me not wanting Xiao Yuting! ”

Wen Ran burst out laughing and gave a thumbs up to Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, you’re right. There are plenty of men in the world, thousands better than Xiao Yuting. After you return the bracelet and call off the engagement tonight, we should celebrate that you’re finally free from being the fiancée of a fickle Xiao Yuting! ”

Bai Xiaoxiao grinned, “Yes, we’ll have a grand celebration tonight, and we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

“Ranran, will you accompany me to Xiao’s company later?”

After a brief pause, Bai Xiaoxiao added another sentence. Although she sounded assertive, she must have felt a little down. Even though she had said before that she no longer liked Xiao Yuting, how could one forget someone whom they had loved for many years so easily?

Understanding this, Wen Ran didn’t hesitate to agree: “No problem!”

After dropping Bai Xiaoxiao home, where only the housekeeper was present, she took the bracelet and headed to Xiao’s company.

“Xiaoxiao, should you call your aunt and uncle to let them know?”

Glimpsing Bai Xiaoxiao, who was staring blankly at the bracelet from the rearview mirror, Wen Ran furrowed her brows and softly asked. Bai Xiaoxiao blinked and said weakly, “No need, my parents won’t object.”

Wen Ran nodded, and was preparing to say something when she saw Bai Xiaoxiao put the bracelet away and close her eyes. Wen Ran interrupted herself before she could finish her sentence..
