This time, when Li Shenzhi was fully awake and his eyes could see clearly, Gu Ranle calmly gave him acupuncture.

As the silver needle fell into the acupuncture point accurately, Li Shenzhi's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then he was stunned in disbelief.

"So...it was actually you who did it those two times before!"

Li Shenzhi's voice was mixed with shock and confusion, as if at this moment, no words could fully describe the shock in his heart.

His eyes were fixed on Gu Ranle's face, and there was both astonishment and some indescribable complex emotions in his eyes.

Gu Ranle's face remained calm, as if she had expected all this. She just glanced at him calmly and said casually, "I told you a long time ago, but you just didn't believe it."

Li Shenzhi swallowed unconsciously and tried to calm himself down, but the light in his eyes still flickered with disbelief.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not..." He muttered to himself, as if looking for a little comfort for his previous doubts.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he uttered "huh" without saying anything else.

For a moment, the atmosphere became subtle and complicated.

After a while, Li Shenzhi's voice sounded.

"precious……"

Gu Ranle glanced at him and said, "I hate being disturbed when I'm giving acupuncture. If you don't want your eyes to be mute again after you've just recovered your sight, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Li Shenzhi: “…”

His lips moved, but in the end no sound came out.

While the needle was being left in, Gu Ranle came to the computer.

The land that the Luo family wants to develop in the west of the city will be developed by cooperation with not only the Gu family but also several powerful companies in Gucheng.

Among them is the Xiao family, which started out as a construction family.

Xiao Yuanshan has recently devoted almost all his efforts to the preparation of the west city project.

Whenever night falls, his office is still brightly lit, and his busy figure often does not stop until late at night.

Sometimes, when the work is too heavy, he even chooses to take a nap in the office, temporarily forgetting the warmth of home.

However, Xiao Yuanshan seemed particularly tired tonight, and was thinking about finishing work early and going home to enjoy a moment of peace and warmth.

Just as he was about to turn off his computer and end his hard work for the day, a reminder of a new email suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

This sudden interruption of his thoughts made him frown slightly.

He moved the mouse and gently clicked on the anonymous email.

He has always kept the address of this private email address extremely secret and not many people know it.

Therefore, the appearance of this anonymous email made him feel suspicious.

As the content of the email gradually unfolded, Xiao Yuanshan's brows became tighter and tighter, as if they could pinch to death a flying mosquito.

A few minutes later, he turned off the computer with a grim face, got up and left the office.

The content of this anonymous email undoubtedly set off a huge wave in his heart, making his originally peaceful night no longer peaceful.

Inside the Xiao family mansion, warm lights filled the living room, illuminating the figures of Bai Yanlan and Xiao Nan, mother and daughter, leaning on each other.

They are immersed in a TV series they have recently become obsessed with, and they watch it until late at night every night, enjoying this rare mother-daughter time.

The moment Xiao Yuanshan stepped into the house, time had quietly passed 11 o'clock in the evening.

In the living room, the plot of the TV series was gripping. The laughter and discussions of the mother and daughter were intertwined, forming a harmonious picture.

"Sir, you are back."

The nanny walked forward with a smile and took the heavy briefcase from Xiao Yuanshan.

However, when she saw Xiao Yuanshan's gloomy face, her smile froze instantly. She stood aside nervously, not daring to make any sound.

Xiao Yuanshan walked into the living room with an expressionless face, and sat down on the sofa like a heavy mountain.

However, his arrival did not attract the attention of the mother and daughter. They were still immersed in the plot, watching and discussing it enthusiastically.

"Madam, Miss, the gentleman is back."

The nanny stood behind the sofa, looked at Xiao Yuanshan, then glanced at the mother and daughter beside her, and finally plucked up the courage, leaned forward, and reminded them in a low voice.

Bai Yanlan was stunned when she heard this, and then she noticed Xiao Yuanshan next to her.

She quickly stood up, a look of concern on her face, "Brother Yuan, you're back. Have you eaten? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Dad." Xiao Nan also turned his head to look at Xiao Yuanshan, and after a brief greeting, he couldn't wait to continue to immerse himself in the world of TV dramas.

Bai Yanlan noticed that Xiao Yuanshan looked unwell, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She quickly said to Xiao Nan, "Nan Nan, stop looking. It's getting late. Go to bed. You just got out of the hospital and your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You can't stay up late."

Xiao Nan wanted to retort that she was not sleepy, but when she saw Bai Yanlan shaking her head at her, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yuanshan's gloomy face, she tactfully shut her mouth.

She turned off the TV, got up and went upstairs to her room.

Only Bai Yanlan and Xiao Yuanshan were left in the living room.

Bai Yanlan sat next to Xiao Yuanshan, holding his arm affectionately, and asked with concern: "Brother Yuan, what's wrong? Did anything happen?"

However, Xiao Yuanshan just stared at her with a gloomy face without saying a word.

There seemed to be endless waves hidden in those deep eyes, which made Bai Yanlan feel a chill in her heart.

She didn't know why Xiao Yuanshan was so silent, nor did she know what difficult situation he had encountered.

This unknown fear and worry was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother Yuan?" Bai Yanlan called out again with a hint of tentativeness in her voice.

Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuanshan's face, trying to catch a clue from the subtle changes in his expression.

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes flickered slightly, as if touched by something, and he finally came back to his senses from his thoughts.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the soft sofa, and closed his eyes with a tired look.

His fingers gently pinched his brows, as if trying to relieve the stress and fatigue in his heart.

His voice sounded faintly, with a barely perceptible hint of reproach.

"It's so late, and you're still staying up all night just to watch TV?"

Bai Yanlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in her heart finally fell.

She pouted and explained coquettishly, "You stayed at the company at night and didn't come back. I couldn't sleep alone at night, so I just watched TV to kill time."

Her tone was full of coquettishness and helplessness. She tried to use this method to narrow the distance between her and Xiao Yuanshan and ease the suffocating atmosphere.

The nanny has quietly left, leaving space for the couple to have a sweet interaction.

However, Xiao Yuanshan was unexpectedly cold today.

He did not respond to Bai Yanlan's coquettishness as usual, but remained silent.

This abnormal attitude made Bai Yanlan even more uneasy.

You know, Xiao Yuanshan is a person who never brings work emotions home.

He is always able to maintain a perfect balance between work and family, making his family feel his warmth and care.

This is the first time they have encountered a situation like today in all their years of marriage.

Bai Yanlan's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Could it be...

She didn't dare to think further and shook her head gently, trying to get rid of these unpleasant thoughts.

She told herself not to scare herself.

Since the other party did not reveal the information directly on the Internet, it means that they still have some concerns.

Now that she has captured the other party's people, the other party should not act rashly for a while.

But she felt a little panicked. What was going on?

Bai Yanlan pursed her lips gently, her eyes revealing concern and uneasiness.

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong? Can you tell me?" Her voice was gentle but firm, trying to penetrate the barriers in Xiao Yuanshan's heart.

Xiao Yuanshan took a deep breath, as if to suck away all the depression in his chest.

He slowly opened his eyes, but his gaze was a little evasive, unwilling to look Bai Yanlan in the face.

"I'm too tired." He answered briefly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice.

"I'm going to take a shower. You should watch less TV and go to bed early." After saying that, he stood up and walked upstairs with heavy steps.

Bai Yanlan stood there in a daze, watching Xiao Yuanshan's back disappear around the corner of the stairs.

The TV screen had already gone black, didn’t he see it?

She felt an inexplicable sense of loss and confusion.

Tonight, Xiao Yuanshan always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness all over his body.

Xiao Yuanshan turned around, his eyes were frighteningly cold, as if they could see through all hypocrisy and lies.

He has been in the business world for a long time and is no longer the impulsive young man he used to be.

When encountering something, he usually analyzes it calmly instead of questioning it directly.

But tonight, he showed his emotions directly on his face, which was a rare time when he was out of control.

It would be impossible for anyone to remain calm when the person he had slept with for more than 20 years turned out not to be his wife, right? Xiao Yuanshan smiled bitterly in his heart.

The anonymous letter was written quite clearly and in detail. Although he still didn't completely believe it, many of the details mentioned in it were indeed the details that he had noticed at the time about Li Jiaojiao's sudden abnormality.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes hidden somewhere, spying on everything he did.

This feeling made him feel very annoyed and uneasy.

He doesn't like being controlled, and he doesn't like being played around with.

But now, he seemed to be trapped in a huge mystery and couldn't extricate himself.

Xiao Yuanshan sighed deeply and walked into the bathroom.

He needed to take a shower and clear his mind.

At the same time, he also needs time to sort out his thoughts and think about what to do next.

In the living room downstairs, Bai Yanlan sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the black screen of TV, her heart filled with endless doubts and worries.

Tonight, some people are destined to have a good sleep, while others are destined to toss and turn.
