Na Amo and Shen You’an hurried back to the Gu family.

Madam Gu had indeed developed a high fever and was sleeping in a daze. Chen Feng was by her bedside, sometimes wiping her body and busy feeding her water.

The elderly tend to experience headaches and fevers frequently. Chen Feng had served Madam Gu for so many years and understood her health thoroughly. No one was more experienced than her in caring for Madam Gu when she was ill.

Na Amo took the towel from Chen Feng and personally wiped Madam Gu’s body.

"Where is Bichen?"

Chen Feng sighed, "I couldn’t reach Doctor Wu by phone, so Bichen personally went to invite Doctor Leng Qian."

Leng Qian was a renowned doctor in the medical field, coming from the Leng family’s main branch. Besides teaching, he occasionally visited Mingren Hospital for consultations, and getting his appointment through scalpers could fetch sky-high prices.

He had previously treated Madam Gu for a period, transferring her care to his student Wu Kang. But with Wu Kang unreachable and Gu Bichen worried about Madam Gu’s health, he had no choice but to seek out Leng Qian.

Leng Qian owed the Gu family a favor, so he had no choice but to come.

Soon, Gu Bichen arrived swiftly with Leng Qian.

Leng Qian quickly diagnosed that Madam Gu’s high fever was caused by catching a chill from the cold wind. Fortunately, Chen Feng had discovered it in time and her extensive experience averted severe consequences.

Leng Qian administered acupuncture to dissipate Madam Gu’s fever.

Na Amo furrowed her brows and glanced at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng had been diligently caring for Madam Gu for so many years; how could she let Madam Gu catch a chill? Was it that Chen Feng was getting too old and struggling with her duties?

Na Amo thought about hiring a professional nurse.

Busy with work, she and Gu Chengzhao, as the children, couldn’t wholeheartedly care for Madam Gu, emphasizing their concerns for her health. If something were to happen to Madam Gu, both she and Gu Chengzhao would be unforgivable.

Chen Feng glanced inconspicuously at Gu Bichen standing quietly to the side, speaking solemnly, "I was negligent. I promise Madam Gu this won’t happen again. If it does, I’ll leave the Gu family immediately."

Na Amo gently held Chen Feng’s hand and softly reassured her, "Aunt Feng, that’s too harsh. You’ve always cared for Madam Gu with dedication over the years, and I’ve seen it myself. Both Chengzhao and I are grateful, and such words should never be said. Otherwise, how would Chengzhao and I bear it?"

Shen You’an stood in the corner as if invisible but didn’t miss Chen Feng’s secret glance at Gu Bichen.

Madam Gu’s condition stabilized soon, and the fever subsided.

Na Amo finally relaxed.

Gu Bichen personally escorted Leng Qian out.

To outsiders, a youth so busy tending to all matters was truly a mark of filial piety.

"An’an, it’s late, and traveling at night isn’t safe. I’ll have someone prepare a guest room for you to stay the night."

Shen You’an nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Na Amo smiled with relief, rolled up her sleeves, and went to prepare the guest room herself.

Chen Feng approached with a cup of hot milk, "Miss Shen, have a cup of hot milk for a good night’s sleep."

Shen You’an thanked her and took the cup, casually asking, "I heard Aunt Mo mention your dedication to Madam Gu. How could you leave the window open for the cold air to get in? It’s the middle of winter."

Chen Feng looked at Shen You’an with some surprise.

The young girl took a sip of milk unhurriedly, her lashes fluttering, making her unreadable.

"The whole villa is fitted with the highest-end fresh air system; I couldn’t possibly have opened the window for Madam Gu to catch a chill."

Chen Feng shook her head.

"Oh? That seems strange. Could Madam Gu have opened the window herself?"

Chen Feng pursed her lips, remaining silent.

During that period, only one person could enter Madam Gu’s room.

But how could it be?

She’d rather believe her mind was muddled, forgetting she opened the window herself, than believe it was that person.

But why?

Chen Feng couldn’t figure it out.

As she was lost in thought, she met the young girl’s deep, black eyes.

Those eyes seemed to have a magical power, both frightening and irresistibly captivating. Under that gaze, all anxiety and worry seemed to dissipate.

Instinctively, Chen Feng blurted out, "It was the young master."

As soon as she said it, regret was already too late.

Chen Feng quickly added, "I’m just spouting nonsense, the young master is most filial to Madam Gu. Miss Shen, please don’t overthink."

With that, she turned and hurried away.

Shen You’an smirked; indeed, it was so.

"What were you two talking about?"

Gu Bichen walked over, his gentle gaze falling on Shen You’an, but with a hint of unsettling scrutiny beneath.

Shen You’an smiled, "Praising your filial piety."

Gu Bichen raised an eyebrow, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Shen You’an’s tone, "As a younger generation, it’s what I should do."

"An’an." Na Amo called her name from the second floor.

Shen You’an headed upstairs. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Gu Bichen watched Shen You’an’s back, his gaze deep and inscrutable.

That night, Gu Bichen looked countless times towards the western wall in the darkness.

On the other side of the wall lay Shen You’an.

Was she asleep? What position did she sleep in? Who might intrude upon her dreams?

In his chest, Gu Bichen’s fevered heart pounded fiercely, uncontrollably sinking step by step into the abyss.

Darkness magnifies desires within the human heart. Once certain paths are taken, there is no returning.

Shen You’an wasn’t asleep; at two in the morning, Ren Mingze sent a message confirming the action’s timing.

For safety, Shen You’an wrote a new encryption program, with a very high security level, making it difficult for even the best hackers to breach.

Ren Mingze felt this money well-spent for sure.

In reality, this was Shen You’an’s own design to trap them within a cage.

The action time was set for four days later, at four in the morning.

What a time to choose.

Indeed, only three days remain until the end of the game.

Shen You’an yawned; who would still be around to play with her then?

Boring.

Her eyes drifted, and Shen You’an’s fingers typed rapidly on the keyboard.

Soon, she quietly intruded into Gu Bichen’s computer system, browsing history as clear as day.

He had sought out a private investigator from the dark web, and with a few keystrokes, Shen You’an decrypted the encrypted chat records.

The more Shen You’an looked, the deeper her brow furrowed.

She hadn’t anticipated her whim would uncover such a significant secret.

It turns out that Gu Bichen had long suspected his origins and secretly hired a private investigator from the dark web.

The dark web’s private investigator was quite adept, tracing back to Zhou Rong and her husband, sniffing out the major opportunity linked to top celebrity Rong Xianning, planning to take Gu Bichen for a hefty sum.

Facing the private investigator’s exorbitant demands, Gu Bichen remained silent.

The chat records ended two weeks ago.

Thus, Gu Bichen didn’t yet know Zhou Rong’s son was Rong Xianning.

Shen You’an furrowed her brows.

But just two hours ago, Gu Bichen transferred that sum to the private investigator’s secret account.

The dark web’s private investigator hasn’t responded yet.

It won’t be long before Gu Bichen learns the truth.

And then, Rong Xianning’s situation will become dangerous.
