"They're getting older, and I want someone to look after them," I said.
Chen Zhiyuan looked at me in surprise. "I didn't realize you were so filial."
"What do you mean?"
He chuckled. "From what I saw of you at the bar, I thought you were quite the free spirit. I didn't expect you to have such a sense of filial piety."
I smiled awkwardly. "It's nothing, just having some fun."
In truth, I had been putting on a facade. After all, with my background, I couldn't let my true self be exposed in public.
Chen Zhiyuan continued, "By the way, it's quite a coincidence that you and Miss Zhou Peiyao share the same name."
"What do you mean?"
He replied, "Not only do you share the same name, but you were also born on the same day of the same month in the same year. What are the odds of that?"
He Li chimed in, "Maybe you're actually long-lost twin sisters!"
Chen Zhiyuan paused for a moment, looking at me thoughtfully.
I suddenly felt a wave of discomfort wash over me.
Could it be that he discovered something?
With that thought in mind, I quickly forced a smile and said, "How could that be! I'm the only child in my family! If I had a twin sister, I would definitely know!"
Chen Zhiyuan snapped back to reality, "Yeah, it must just be a coincidence."
The unease within me grew stronger, prompting me to find an excuse to leave the police station.
As I walked home, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt.
Could it be that Chen Zhiyuan really found out something?
Or was he deliberately testing me?
No, no, I reassured myself.
Right now, I am Zhou Peiyao; I am no longer Wang Chen.
No one can discover my secret.
As soon as I got home, I immediately called Zheng Xin. "Zheng Xin, where are you?"
"I'm out handling some matters, what's wrong?" Zheng Xin's voice sounded calm. "Just tell me directly if there's something."
I anxiously replied, "You need to come back quickly! Something's happened!"
Zheng Xin seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation and rushed back immediately.
As soon as he entered, he asked, "What happened? What's going on?"
I recounted everything that had happened today in detail.
After listening, Zheng Xin furrowed his brows tightly. "Are you saying Chen Zhiyuan has started to suspect you?"
"I don't know!" I said. "But I feel like he might have discovered something! He kept testing me today!"
Zheng Xin sighed. "Don't panic; maybe he was just asking casually."
"But I'm worried he knows about my past!" I exclaimed. "What if he finds out I'm Wang Chen?!"
Zheng Xin comforted me, "That won't happen. You are Wang Chen now, not Zhou Peiyao. As long as you don't slip up, no one will uncover your secret."
"Really?" I looked at him with teary eyes. "I really won't expose myself?"
Zheng Xin nodded. "Don't worry, our plan is foolproof. Besides, Zhou Peiyao is dead, and no one can link you to her."
He paused for a moment. "But just to be safe, you should leave the capital as soon as possible."
"Leave the capital? Where to?" I asked.
"Of course, back to the imperial city," Zheng Xin replied. "Didn't you want to visit the capital? Now's your chance."
I thought for a moment. "Alright, I'll pack my bags right now!"
Zheng Xin nodded again. "I've already booked your flight; there's one in five hours. Just pack your essentials; I've prepared all your documents."
I immediately started packing my luggage.
In truth, I didn't have much to take with me—just some documents and clothes.
