“Really?”

“Of course it’s real. Since when have I ever lied to you?” said Fan Shixin, who thought that Jin Yiheng would be over the moon.

“Can you send me back this afternoon instead?” Jin Yiheng asked.

Jin Qingyan and Fan Shixin’s jaws dropped in shock the moment they heard his words.

“Why? Don’t you want to spend time with me?” Jin Qingyan questioned in bewilderment.

Jin Yiheng answered solemnly, “No, I want to spend time with both Daddy and Mommy. Spending time alone with you is too boring. You don’t understand the joy of spending time with me at all. Daddy, you’re so boring.”

Jin Qingyan could not help but feel embarrassed by his son’s criticism, which greatly took him by surprise. He had never expected for his son to feel that way about him.

“What must I do to be fun and interesting, then? Daddy has no clue at all. Teach me.”

Jin Yiheng sighed and dismissed him, “You’re too old to learn.”

He was again despised and looked down upon!

Ugh!

Jin Qingyan suddenly realized that he had not visited Jin Yiheng in a long time. Could that be the reason why we have grown distant?

Clearly, things had become different after the divorce.

“You finally get to take a day off today. Tell me, where would you like to go to have fun?”

“Can we go anywhere?”

“Yes.”

“I want to go to outer space.”

“...”

There was no way they could communicate!

Noticing the grimace on his father’s face, Jin Yiheng burst into laughter and said, “Daddy, I was just teasing you.”

“I... figured that.”

In the confined space of the room, Lin Mingyuan and Gu Dongcheng sat facing each other; a table on which there was some coffee that neither of them touched was in between them.

After a long while of silence, Lin Mingyuan finally spoke, “What’s on your mind, Mr. Gu?”

“I’m wondering if you’re really that sincere, Ms. Lin. From the looks of it, I believe you are, though,” Gu Dongcheng said with a grin.

“I’m always sincere when it comes to working with others. That’s just my motto. Are there still no news of your wife yet?”

Her question had struck a sour note within Gu Dongcheng. Xu Youran was pregnant with their child, and he was yet to know if she’s dead or alive right now. There were two voices in his head, one telling him that Xu Youran wouldn’t have been allowed to survive and the other telling him to keep hoping for a miracle.

“No,” he answered, shaking his head.

Not wishing to talk about that topic any further, Lin Mingyuan said, “Once you’ve found another medium, bring him to me immediately. I won’t let the cat out of the bag at all. I hope we’ll have a joyous cooperation.”

“That’s for sure,” said Gu Dongcheng, reaching his hand out to her.

Lin Mingyuan shook his hand and they both came to a consensus.

They did not speak any further and parted ways soon after.

After Lin Mingyuan left, Gu Dongcheng remained in his seat instead of leaving immediately.

He was riddled with problems. Now that he had been kicked out of the family mansion by his parents, it would be tough for him to secure a footing in the company, especially since Gu Beicheng was in charge of it.

To make matters worse, his wife was now missing with no news of whether she was dead or alive, causing him to be exceptionally cautious when he was in the Gu Corporation.

Who could understand the woes he had deep down?

He resented his father for being biased against him and allowing Gu Beicheng to be in charge of the company when they were both his sons.

He did not feel any less competent than Gu Beicheng!

He resented Heaven for being unfair and taking away his mother’s life way too early. If she had not passed away early, Mr. Gu wouldn’t have married Mrs. Gu and Gu Beicheng would have never existed.

He detested everyone!

Gu Dongcheng picked up his cup of coffee and began sipping on it slowly.

At the same time, he began devising a seamless plan for his next move.

Without An Xiaoning, Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi are going to be helpless once I find another medium. Let’s see who can rescue them when that happens!

Even though Jin Qingyan refused to admit, Gu Dongcheng was certain that he was the one who took Xu Youran away. If Youran is dead, I must avenge her and our child!

A menacing look of vengeance formed in Gu Dongcheng’s eyes.

He whipped his phone out and dialed the string of numbers in his call history.

It was sunny the day before yesterday. However, it began pouring yesterday and the skies were still gloomy.

The full glass window in the room was facing the South, which caused it to be dimly lit.

“You’ve folded enough paper cranes. What are you folding so many of them for?” Pei Yi remarked calmly.

“Well, I have nothing to do anyway. I’m bored so I need this to kill time,” said An Xiaoning, who did not find it pointless at all, for she would ponder over many things while folding the paper cranes.

Pei Yi did not say anything else after hearing her answer.

After folding for a long while, she stopped and asked, “Do you believe in past and present lifetimes?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Life is short and you turn to ashes once you’re dead. There’s no such thing as an afterlife or past lifetimes.”

“I believe there is,” said An Xiaoning, massaging her hands and fingers.

“Why?”

An Xiaoning smiled and answered, “Because I believe I have a previous life.”

“What logic is that...?”

“It’s just like your belief in the existence of certain entities.” An Xiaoning knew that these people were loyal to a common religion that they were willing to die for.

“Would you like to follow my religious faith?”

An Xiaoning turned him down tactfully, for she knew that those terrorists valued their religion far greater than their own lives. Although she had utterly detested their extreme religious beliefs, she couldn’t reject him bluntly.

She was well aware of the consequences that it entailed if she were to do that.

“I’d like to join too, but I’m afraid I can’t. When I acknowledged my mentor and joined her clan, we took an oath to be atheists. My mentor raised me since I was a child, and though she may not be around anymore, I don’t wish to rebel against the rules and instructions she left me,” said An Xiaoning, pretending to appear disappointed.

It was a smart decision to mention her mentor at this critical juncture.

“I won’t force you,” said Pei Yi, who did not plan on making her convert to his religion.

Knock-knock! Qin Guo knocked on the door and reported, “Ancestor, Ms. Tian is here.”

Pei Yi did not answer, as if he did not hear her at all.

“Ancestor... Ms. Tian would like to see you,” Qin Guo repeated.

He stopped what he was doing and said to An Xiaoning, “Return to the bedroom first.”

“Alright.” An Xiaoning immediately stood up and returned to his bedroom.

She sat on the couch and waited. Not long after, she heard a female voice coming from outside.

An Xiaoning leaned against the door and peeked through the gap.

It was a woman who had a similar frame as she did and was dressed lavishly from head to toe in a set of clothes that seemed exorbitantly priced.

Her voice was crisp and clear, and it was so loud that An Xiaoning could hear her effortlessly.

“It doesn’t seem like you to keep a hostage around instead of killing her or exchanging her for money.”

“Is that any of your business? You’re in no place to interfere with my matters,” Pei Yi clipped coldly.
