Turns out these people were actually the same gang that robbed Lu Zhang last time. Their boss had some connections in the police station, so although they’d clearly been arrested and, as repeat offenders, should’ve been locked up for a while, the result was that right after Su Weiyi took Lu Zhang out, those guys were also bailed out a couple of days later, which led to what happened this time.

Only this time they really kicked an iron plate. They kidnapped the Sheng Family’s eldest daughter and injured the Sheng Family’s young master. Now, never mind having connections in the police station—even if they had people in national agencies, it wouldn’t help.

Mr. Sheng was furious and ordered a thorough sweep of all those shady people. Almost the entire police force of B City was mobilized, and only then were all of them rounded up within just a few days.

"Miss Sheng, these are your things, right? The matter’s already been dealt with, so we’re returning these to you."

Su Weiyi looked at the bags the police brought over—exactly the stuff she’d bought on her shopping trip that day. She frowned a little but didn’t say anything, just exchanged a few polite words with the officers and walked them out.

After that, looking at those things, Su Weiyi turned to the servant and said, "Throw them away."

The memory of that night was really nothing pleasant, especially now, with Sheng Yanxiao still lying in bed. Thinking of how he’d looked when he was pushed into the operating room, and then that deep wound she saw when his dressing was changed, made Su Weiyi’s chest tighten with pain. She didn’t want to see any of those things again.

Because Sheng Yanxiao was recuperating, the Spring Festival passed very quietly. The days after the New Year went by quickly. After spending more than half a month recovering in the villa, he was already much better and could move around on his own without much trouble.

After the doctor came for a follow-up and gave the conclusion that "the wound is healing very well," Sheng Yanxiao ignored everyone’s attempts to dissuade him and moved back to his own apartment.

Going with him was also Su Weiyi.

It wasn’t until she arrived at his apartment that Su Weiyi realized they actually lived this close to each other.

But what surprised her even more was that he actually had everything of hers here.

Her toothbrush, her towel, her skincare products, her change of clothes.

"When did you prepare all this?"

Sitting on the sofa, one hand on his laptop, Sheng Yanxiao answered casually when he heard her, "When I moved in here."

Su Weiyi: "..."

She felt his behavior was a bit over the top and also didn’t quite know what to say about it.

But obviously, when he did all this, Sheng Yanxiao was certain that one day she would come here and then live with him.

Su Weiyi couldn’t help but laugh. "It’s been three years. You never once came to the United Kingdom to look for me. How were you so sure I’d definitely come back?"

The fingers tapping on the keyboard paused for a second. He lifted his eyes to look at her, something deep flickering between his brows. Before she could read too much into it, he lowered his head again, his fingers tapping the keys a couple more times. Very quickly, the notes page switched to her: "Heartless creature."

Su Weiyi glanced at the screen and froze. It was filled, top to bottom, with photos of her.

In London by Big Ben, on the university campus, at the entrance of the library, even a shot of her eating French fries in a street-side restaurant.

Her eyes widened. "You... you had someone following me?"

Sheng Yanxiao rapped her on the head without mercy. "Su Weiyi, how is it you only grow older but not smarter?"

So it wasn’t that he’d sent someone to tail her, but that he himself had gone to the United Kingdom to look for her?

"How... how did I not know?"
