Shen Zhao briefly described his miraculous experience, and seeing Guan Qi sitting beside him with a serious expression, he asked, "What happened?"
Guan Qi turned sideways and stared at her, his eyes filled with worry. "Have you ever thought about where the original Shen Zhao would go if you woke up from Shen Zhao's body?"
Shen Zhao pulled the corner of his mouth, "Actually, I thought about it, but when I woke up, I happened to be next to the swimming pool, so I guess the original Shen Zhao was not as lucky as me, and probably died in the swimming pool."
Shen Zhao said it easily, but this matter was too fantastic after all. Guan Qi asked again: "You have been awake recently. What if one day you disappeared? And turned back into the original Shen Zhao, what should I do then?"
In Guan Qi's heart, it doesn't matter whether the original Shen Zhao is dead or alive. He only cares about the Shen Zhao in front of him, who is Sheng Baiyi inside. As long as she doesn't disappear, everything will be fine.
Shen Zhao didn't think so. She looked at Guan Qi with ease and said, "As long as you think that I'm lucky to live one more day, you will think I'm very lucky, so don't worry too much. What worries me most now is who wants to put me to death. I have no idea."
Guan Qi pulled Shen Zhao into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his bones and blood. He seldom behaved so intimately with her. Perhaps he was frightened by what happened before, and Shen Zhao didn't want to push him away.
His voice rang in her ears, "Even if you say so, I won't let it go. Whoever put you in such a predicament, I will not let him have an easy time!"
It was as if he had turned back into the autistic and stubborn child he used to be. His oath would always shock Shen Zhao, but she couldn't drag him into the quagmire because of her own affairs. She was already deeply trapped in it and couldn't let him jump in as well.
She pushed him away, and he loosened his grip. Shen Zhao looked at Guan Qi seriously, "I didn't come to meet you to ask you to fight for me. You don't need to rush to the front line, just help me."
Guan Qi's expression became serious. He knew what the most important thing was now. Now that the situation had become like this, it was useless for him to worry about gains and losses. Besides, he tilted his head to glance at the girl sitting next to him. She was not nervous either. He just had to keep an eye on her.
Shen Zhao told Guan Qi some things she had learned recently, including the thing the old lady said was hidden in her residence, and Xiao Yi and Dai Weiwei who refused to move out of Luhu Yajing. She always felt that there was some connection between them.
"Do you think my suspicion is wrong?"
Guan Qi stood up from the sofa, took out a laptop from the kitchen, and returned to the sofa. He turned on the computer and said while operating it, "Your guess is only one aspect, but we can try to get some clues from them."
Soon, many surveillance screens inexplicably appeared on Guan Qi's computer. They were all surveillance footage from Luhu Yajing. Guan Qi connected to them so easily that he could even see the footage of Xiao Yi and Dai Weiwei returning to their residence.
"If," he pointed to the screen of the corridor outside Xiao Yi's residence, "his home is also equipped with surveillance cameras, then I can even see what's going on at home."
"Isn't this dangerous? I tried to connect to the police surveillance footage before, and I was nervous to death after just one minute." Shen Zhao stared at the screen and felt a moment of joy, thinking that it was right to find Guan Qi.
Guan Qi stared at her with amusement, "Who do you think I am? Of course a rookie like you would be nervous."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the best!"
"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on Xiao Yi, but there's something I need to tell you first."
"what's up?"
Guan Qi recalled the scene of going to the funeral home that day. "I always feel that there is something wrong with the funeral home. I went to the funeral home that day. Logically, there was no useful clue in this case, and you are also an orphan. It may have been closed as suicide long ago. But until now, this case has been frozen. Although there are no clues, it has not been closed. And your body is just placed in the funeral home. Logically, the bodies stored in the funeral home should be burned if they are not needed." He glared at Shen Zhao, "But, the people in the funeral home told me that the body cannot be burned before the case is closed. I always feel that someone is behind this. Who has such ability? Do you know?"
Shen Zhao shook his head. "I studied till I got my doctorate degree after college, and then joined Xinrui Pharmaceutical R&D. During that time, I didn't come into contact with any powerful people, because you told me before that my medical skills can save people but also hurt myself. After I saved Xiao Yi, I never did it again, but in the end, I still hurt myself."
She looked sad, and Guan Qi embraced her, "So, you have to be more careful now, and don't reveal your abilities casually anymore."
Shen Zhao raised her eyes and stared at Guan Qi innocently. She really wanted to tell him that she had leaked the information again because she was soft-hearted, but that man seemed to protect her quite well.
Guan Qi took the hair band on the table and tied up his hair casually. He looked much more energetic. He stood up from the sofa and said, "Wait for me. I'll take you home."
Shen Zhao looked at him with her eyes rolling, and when he left her sight, she lowered her head silently, feeling a little empty in her heart. She forgot to tell him that she was not living alone now.
Guan Qi came down from upstairs quickly. It was obvious that he had washed up and changed into a new vest. His long hair was tied up and his lamb beard was well-groomed. He walked to Shen Zhao's side, lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Let's go."
"......Yeah." Shen Zhao got up from the sofa, Guan Qi picked up the coat on the sofa and walked in front.
Sitting in the car, with the seatbelt fastened, Guan Qicai asked, "Where is your home? You can't live in your original place now that you've become like this, right?"
Shen Zhao nodded, "Yes, the house has been sealed."
"What's the current address?" Guan Qi opened the navigation and tapped on the screen.
Shen Zhao looked at Guan Qi's profile carefully.
He was a little impatient, "Why aren't you talking? Can't I go to your house yet?"
Really not, Shen Zhao said guiltily: "Just drop me off at the east entrance of Lilai Plaza, I still need to go in and buy some things."
Guan Qi turned his head and glared at her, his tone somewhat serious, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, you are now a senior high school student, so do you have money to spend now? Do you want me to give you a secondary card?"
Shen Zhao quickly shook his head, "No, I have a card."
Seeing that she didn't accept it, Guan Qi didn't force her anymore, "Okay, come to me if you need me, but where is your home? You can't just not tell me, right?"
Shen Zhao didn't know how to explain. He was silent for a moment, but he mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, I'm living in the home of the person who sponsored my life and studies. His home is a bit big, it's a manor, and ordinary people can't enter, and he won't let them in, so I'm waiting for the driver who'll pick me up at Lilai Plaza."
"Your sponsor is so generous? He lets you live in his home? Is it a man or a woman?"
Shen Zhao didn't want to say it, but he couldn't resist Guan Qi's pressure. "He's a man. He has some problems. I promised to help him get treatment." Facing Guan Qi's fierce gaze, Shen Zhao's voice gradually weakened. "So I live in his house."
Guan Qi knew that Sheng Baiyi was not a casual person. Xiao Yi had pursued her for a long time before she agreed. And now, since she said this, it was not difficult for him to guess that there was some unknown connection between her and the sponsor. But this made him even angrier. In the past month since she woke up, she had stayed with a man of unknown origin and didn't confess to him!
Seeing Guan Qi's increasingly dark face, Shen Zhao didn't dare to say anything. This man would break off relations with her as soon as he got angry. She didn't want to suffer that kind of pain anymore.
Guan Qi glanced at the useless Shen Zhao, feeling angry, and said, "Give me his address, and I'll take you back today."
Shen Zhao quickly grabbed his shoulders and shook his head, "No, he is the sponsor and knows everything about the original Shen Zhao. If you send me back rashly, it will only arouse suspicion. Wait for the right time. It's too hasty now."
"What's wrong with that? Just say I'm your boyfriend. It's not like I can't be responsible for you!" After saying that, Guan Qi turned his head away and stopped arguing with Shen Zhao. Shen Zhao could only see his gradually red neck and ears from behind.
She didn't take it seriously and just thought that Guan Qi was using this as an excuse to help her get away with it. After all, he and she had been together since childhood. No matter who betrayed her, he would stand by her side no matter what happened. So she still felt guilty that she was hiding something from him.
"Hey, Guan Qi," Shen Zhao pulled his shoulder, trying to get him to turn around, but it was fruitless after repeating it once. She said angrily, "Sheng Xiaoshi, how long are you going to be upset? I want to tell you something serious, about that sponsor."
After hearing this, Guan Qi turned around slowly and said, "You go ahead." In fact, he had guessed it a little and didn't want to listen at all.
Shen Zhao glanced out the window. "He helped me a lot. Now he and I are lovers, but he only knows that I am Shen Zhao."
Even though Guan Qi had been mentally prepared, he was still heartbroken when he suddenly heard her admit it so bluntly. He pretended to be calm. If there was any difference between that person and Xiao Yi, you could tell from Shen Zhao's attitude. When she was with Xiao Yi, Guan Qi just felt that she was not serious enough. She was like a girl groping her way across the river with the stones. She wanted to try what others had, but this person was not like that. Guan Qi saw determination and love in her eyes, as well as cautiousness that she did not show towards Xiao Yi.
He suddenly envied the person he had never met before, who could receive her careful love and care.
"Got it, let's go. Let me meet him again when there's a chance. But who is he?"
"His name is Mu Yanchen."
Guan Qi's heart skipped a beat. Mu Yanchen, it couldn't be such a coincidence. The legendary Seventh Son of the Mu Family was an unattainable existence even in the aristocratic circle. He stared at Shen Zhao suspiciously, "Is that the Seventh Son of the Mu Family in Shengjing you are talking about?"
Shen Zhao stared at him with his eyes wide open. "What are the seven sons of the Mu family? They sound very powerful."
"You really don't know? Or has he never told you?"
Guan Qi knew Sheng Baiyi. She was the kind of person who turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on medicine, so she had amazing attainments in the field of medicine. But even so, even if others talked to her about those influential figures, she would just say "Who?" But the current situation was that Mu Yanchen was right next to her, and she had never once tried to find out about his background. Guan Qi suddenly felt powerless.
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her innocent eyes, her lips moved, and she murmured, "I didn't try to find out, and he never mentioned it."
"Tell me about him. Rumor has it that he controls the entire economy of Country M, involving all walks of life, and he wants to compete with the Mu family in Shengjing. Coincidentally, his headquarters is in City H. That is the most magnificent building in the city and a landmark for travelers to check in. What's more legendary is that it only took him a few years to make his fortune. However, God is jealous of talents, and people say that he will not live long. He is not seen in most important meetings and occasions."
Shen Zhao glanced at Guan Qi, who had already started the car. She recalled every moment she spent with Mu Yanchen. The manor he lived in was indeed not something that ordinary people could afford. She had walked along the corridor to the end, looking out from the medieval window. The strict security system was indeed unnecessary for a person without energy, and it was even a bit excessive.
When she first met him, she already knew that he was seriously ill. But as they got to know each other, she realized how strong he was, and everything about him made her feel tenderness for him.
Even though she was suspicious in everything, he always believed in her. She felt it herself and never doubted it. Even when she was almost locked up by Li Chengyi, he still came to see her despite his illness. That was the security she didn't feel with Xiao Yi. Although he was weak, for her who was like a floating duckweed, he was her best harbor.
"Although I don't know how great he is in other aspects, but when it comes to fighting the disease, no one can compare to him."
After listening to Shen Zhao's words, Guan Qi was certain that the man was the legendary seventh son of the Shengjing Mu family, the legendary figure who was despised by his own family but was able to build up a force to rival his own family.
But why didn't that person just let Shen Zhao go? She was only a senior high school student now. For a person like that, there must be a private doctor. There was no way she could trust the medical skills of a student...
Guan Qi glanced meaningfully at the girl who was sitting next to him and had fallen asleep. Even if Shen Zhao didn't take him to see her, he was capable of meeting her.
Guan Qi dropped her off at the east area of Lilai Plaza as Shen Zhao had instructed. He looked at her reluctantly, "Remember to come to me if you have anything to do. I will help you keep an eye on those two people recently. Also, I will not run that store anymore. I will stay at home from now on. If you want to come to see me, don't take a taxi by yourself. I will pick you up somewhere else."
Shen Zhao nodded obediently. Looking at Sheng Baiyi, who looked several years younger, Guan Qi felt dazed for a moment.
But, even though she had become so much younger, it was still not him who appeared in her eyes. A faint bitterness spread in Guan Qi's heart.
