Gu Zi didn’t plan to linger any longer. She walked out with Chen Xi, her mind still turning over the words of the man.

Jiang Nan and that woman were supposed to be good friends, yet she had never heard her mention the deceased once.

On the contrary, when Jiang Nan spoke of the woman who had passed away, she seemed almost indifferent, as if they weren’t even close. It struck her as odd, this inconsistency, this strange undercurrent in their conversation.

By the time they reached her doorstep, Gu Zi parted ways with Chen Xi, ready to head inside, but then a voice called out from behind, halting her.

"Hey, Gu Zi, how did you end up coming through that alley?"

Gu Zi froze. Turning, she saw Jiang Nan standing there, and a shiver ran down her spine. She couldn’t quite place it, but something about Jiang Nan made her uneasy, a creeping fear that she couldn’t shake.

Yet she kept her composure, putting on a calm smile as she offered a casual excuse. "Jiang Nan, I was just showing my classmate around the area. We passed by the back alleys of a few courtyard houses. It was all so quiet, so we decided to head back quickly."

Jiang Nan stepped closer, her gaze sharp. "Gu Zi, I’d suggest you stay away from those courtyard houses back there. It’s deserted, and a beauty woman like you should be careful. It’s dangerous."

Gu Zi smiled politely, nodding as she acknowledged the warning. "Thank you for the reminder, Jiang Nan. I’ll head home now."

With that, she turned and walked into her house, closing the door behind her. Only then did she release a deep breath, her heart still racing in her chest.

Until now, she hadn’t realized the connections Jiang Nan had with the deceased woman. How strange that Jiang Nan, who couldn’t even have children of her own, had relied on her brother Jiang Yao’s wife to find a woman to bear children. And then, that child had gone missing after Jiang Yao’s wife passed away. To top it all off, Jiang Nan’s own husband had died shortly after. The whole sequence of events felt... planned, like a series of pieces falling into place according to some hidden design.

But solving this mystery wouldn’t be quick. Gu Zi decided that she would talk to Su Shen and have him look into it. Someone had to uncover the truth.

Meanwhile, back at the Xu family home, Yu Fang had called Xu Fan, who was in Guangcheng, and summoned him back. She’d even reached out to Xu Fan’s supervisor to have someone else take over his duties in Guangcheng, making it clear that Xu Fan no longer needed to go there.
