Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nan Zhi’s slender body fell to the ground.

She held her head in both hands, a prickling pain in her temples and she felt like her head was going to burst.

Auntie He... Auntie He who looked so honest and kind, was the culprit who made her mother’s mental illness act up?

However, she did not even notice anything and trusted Auntie He, letting her stay by her mother’s side when she was not around.

Nan Zhi’s long eyelashes fluttered and all kinds of emotions surged in her chest.

Auntie He was a servant in the Nan family for decades. In the hearts of her mother and herself, she was like a family member to them.

Was the human heart really so scary?

Nan Zhi threaded her fingers into her hair and her fingertips clutched onto her scalp.

If even Auntie He was so bad then who else could she trust besides those closest to her?

...

On the way back to the castle, Qiao Yanze had the DNA testing results gripped in his hand tightly.

Although he did not have a good impression of Mu Sihan, he believed that Mu Sihan would not lie to him about this kind of matter.

Moreover, from the moment he saw Nan Zhi, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart at that time.

He did not want to hurt her at all and he was anxious for no reason when he saw that she was sad or suffering.

Now he understood that it was a feeling of kinship.

The corners of Qiao Yanze’s lips lifted and his heart was full of joy and excitement.

But besides joy, there was also an inexplicable worry.

Before, his mother had done a lot of things to hurt Nan Zhi for Ding Shuman, and even said harsh words so their relationship was not good. With Nan Zhi’s character of being clear about what to love or hate, would she be willing to acknowledge this kin?

Back at the castle, Qiao Yanze did not show the report to Madam Qiao.

He believed that Mu Sihan would not lie, but with Ding Shuman’s deception as an example, he still need to confirm it himself before telling his mother.

Qiao Yanze found Madam Qiao who was basking in the sun in the garden and went forward, hugging her from behind.

Madam Qiao got a shock and when she turned to look at Qiao Yanze, there was a sudden pain in her head. “Yanze, what are you doing?”

“Mom, you have white hair again.”

“Mom is old, of course there will be white hair.”

Qiao Yanze looked at the wrinkles at the corners of Madam Qiao’s eyes and sighed silently as he thought of her striking beauty in her youth.

He really hoped nothing would go wrong this time!

...

After Yan Hua was kissed by Bo Yan forcefully, she ignored him.

But they had to find the person who had last seen Gu Sheng so in the end, they were still unable to keep away from each other.

Although they did not talk to each other, they found a problem at the same time.

The villagers in the village had become very strange. They would go back into their houses and close their doors when they saw strangers.

It was like that for the past two to three days.

Yan Hua knocked on several doors but nobody opened the door. One of the families even threw water all over her face.

Bo Yan hurried over when he saw this. His hand held her face and helped to wipe the beads of water on her face. “Are you all right?”

Yan Hua moved back and avoided Bo Yan’s large hands. She shook her head. “I’m fine.” After a moment of silence, she looked at Bo Yan with bright eyes. “What’s wrong with this village? They seemed to be afraid of outsiders.”

Bo Yan nodded with a cold expression. “It’s indeed a problem. When it’s dark, I’ll ask a family.”

“You want to use a hard approach?”

Bo Yan looked at Yan Hua’s beautiful face and narrowed his eyes. “What have you found out by asking nicely?”

Yan Hua pursed her lips and did not say anything else.

“Sihan called me and said that Nan Zhi will be executed tomorrow afternoon.”

Yan Hua’s heartbeat sped up and the hands hanging by her side clenched. She looked around and suddenly found a little girl of five to six years old looking at Bo Yan and her by the window.

With a guarded face full of wariness.

Yan Hua strode over and took out two pieces of chocolate from her bag. “Little girl, can I ask you something?”

Yan Hua had just finished speaking when the little girl’s mother carried her away and her father wanted to close the window in panic.

A hand suddenly came towards the window, making the father unable to close the window.

Bo Yan walked over, his expression cold as he looked at the little girl’s father. “What’s going on in this village?”

The little girl’s father looked at Bo Yan with a guarded expression. “You’re all bad guys, get out of our village!”

Yan Hua shook her head in a hurry. “Don’t be afraid, we’re not bad guys. He’s from the special troop. We’re here to inquire about a very important matter.”

Yan Hua let Bo Yan show his credentials to the little girl’s father.

After looking at it, he was still a little suspicious. “You’re really not bad guys?”

“No.”

The little girl’s father opened the door to let Yan Hua and Bo Yan into the house.

“A few days ago, a family of three in our village died.”

Yan Hua was shocked. “What was the cause?”

The little girl’s father said fearfully, “Few days ago, a group of men came to ask about the same thing as you. Big Stone said that he knew the person they were asking about, and as a result... That night, Big Stone’s family ate the mushrooms picked from the mountain and passed away.”

Yan Hua was horrified.

“The police said that the mushrooms they ate were poisonous and caused their death. But we live on a mountain and live off the mountain, we would know which wild mushrooms are poisonous or not. Big Stone and his family was definitely poisoned by those people.”

Yan Hua looked at Bo Yan with a pale face and there was a sadness in her heart.

The person who wanted Zhizhi dead was so evil. What did Big Stone and his family do to make him kill them...

Bo Yan pulled Yan Hua into his arms, as her tears were now falling uncontrollably, and patted her trembling shoulders. All the while, his eyes looked at the little girl’s father coldly. “Big Stone and his family are all gone?”

“Big Stone has a younger brother called Little Stone. In fact, it was his brother who saw the person you’re looking for. That day, his younger brother went to a relative’s house and when he returned home, he saw his parents and brother poisoned to death. He couldn’t stand the blow and ran up to the mountains. We were afraid that those people would want to harm Little Stone, so us villagers organized to go up the mountains to look for him when it’s dark. But it has been three days and we still couldn’t find Little Stone.”

There were mountains on both sides of the village and several of them had not yet been exploited. It was not easy to find Little Stone who had run into the mountains. Besides, there might be snakes, insects and poisonous ants in the mountains, Little Stone was just a teenager, it was difficult to know if he was dead or alive...

Bo Yan stood up from the chair. He was dressed in black, his figure tall and cold. He said indifferently, “Please take a piece of clothing of Little Stone.” Then, he called Lan Yanzhi.

An hour later, Lan Yanzhi brought a police dog.

After letting the police dog smell the scent on the Little Stone’s clothes, Bo Yan went to the mountains to look.

Yan Hua quickly followed behind Bo Yan. “I’ll look for him with you.”
