Xu Xingguang had lived in Cangshan Town for a while and had long blended in with the old town residents. Especially Uncle Xie, who ran a second-hand car dealership, treated her like his own child and chatted with her about all sorts of gossip.

Yet Xu Xingguang had never heard Uncle Xie mention the Cangshan Town nursing home.

Yin Su was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament; if she worked in Cangshan Town, it would be impossible for the townsfolk not to notice her.

This matter was peculiar.

"Alright. Zheng Qin, you can go rest first."

Zheng Qin closed the laptop and looked up to ask Song Chi, "Song Chi, do you want to play billiards? Everyone wants to meet you."

Song Chi was a subordinate of Xu Xingguang; they were subordinates of Huo Wen’an. Their bosses had become a couple, so as subordinates, they should also get along and make friends.

Song Chi said, "Hold on, I’ll finish this game first." Zheng Qin then went over to sit next to Song Chi and watched the progress of the game together.

After leaving Song Chi’s room, Xu Xingguang called Jin Yunhai on her phone, asking him to have someone secretly monitor You Jiaoyang.

When she returned to the room, Huo Wen’an was soaking in the bathtub.

Xu Xingguang stood by the bathroom door, left the door slightly ajar, so she couldn’t see Huo Wen’an inside, but he could hear her voice.

"Brother A Zui, what do you think about You Jiaoyang?"

Huo Wen’an’s body was slightly flushed from the hot water, giving his pale skin a sickly yet alluring look. He wiped his face and squinted, thinking carefully before saying, "He gives me a contradictory feeling."

"How so?"

Huo Wen’an then described the eerie sense he had the first time he saw You Jiaoyang to Xu Xingguang. "Do you remember the first time you took me to the Xu Family? I felt that You Jiaoyang knew me."

Feeling that his words weren’t precise enough, Huo Wen’an added, "I mean, he didn’t know the Cangshan Town version of me, but rather the Huo Wen’an from Divine Concealment Island. When he saw me, he became visibly uneasy, and he probably knows some rumors about me."

You Jiaoyang was afraid of him.

"But I’m very sure I’ve never met him before this."

"Is that so?" Xu Xingguang found You Jiaoyang increasingly suspicious, and she recalled some details she had previously overlooked.

"After waking up, I asked my senior sister to investigate You Jingqiu’s family. The information she provided was very detailed. According to the records, early on, You Jiaoyang was quite similar to You Mingyue, often causing trouble during school."

"Back then, You Jingqiu’s beauty salon made a lot of money, and she was always generous with the two children. You Jiaoyang had some money and was quite popular at school; boys looked up to him as their leader, and girls admired his generosity, handsomeness, and rebelliousness."

"He was known as a playboy at school, frequently changing girlfriends until he graduated from university. During a trip to Sea City with friends, he was almost swept away by a rip current, leaving him injured and unconscious for a few days. When he woke up, he suddenly became more mature."

After reading that report, Xu Xingguang didn’t think much of it at the time. She simply believed that You Jiaoyang, having nearly died once, had realized the value of life and thus changed dramatically.

In hindsight, something strange must have happened to him during those days of unconsciousness.

Learning that You Jiaoyang had almost died, Huo Wen’an also found it odd and said, "Generally speaking, even if You Jiaoyang decided to change his ways after surviving a near-death experience, he wouldn’t change so completely. It’s more like..."

"He became a different person," Xu Xingguang finished Huo Wen’an’s thought.

"Exactly."

Huo Wen’an stood up from the bathtub, wiped off the water with a towel, and only then put on a bathrobe, tying the belt as he walked out.

Seeing his wet hair, Xu Xingguang fetched a hairdryer from the cabinet and walked to the couch. She plugged in the hairdryer and patted the sofa armrest, inviting Huo Wen’an to sit over.

"Sit here, I’ll dry your hair."

Huo Wen’an was pleasantly surprised.

He walked to the sofa, weakly leaning against the backrest, and let Xu Xingguang use a dry towel to soak up the water droplets from his hair.

Xu Xingguang said, "There’s another thing I need to tell you."

"Hmm?" Huo Wen’an looked at her lazily.

"Do you remember the woman we met in West Continent City? You Jiaoyang’s boss."

Huo Wen’an’s previously lazy gaze turned sharp; of course, he remembered her.

"That woman is called Yin Su. She lives in Yujiang City and is a doctor at the mental hospital in Cangshan Town."
