Just as I was about to leave, my phone suddenly rang.
It was my mother calling.
I looked at the name flashing on the screen and hesitated for a moment.
Cheng Hao noticed my hesitation and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
I took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
"Nothing, my mom called to ask what I was doing."
Cheng Hao looked surprised.
"Why didn't you tell her you were with me?"
I gave a wry smile.
"I didn't know how to explain it to her."
Cheng Hao sighed and patted my shoulder.
"Xiao Wen, I know you're feeling lost right now."
"But you must remember, whatever decision you make, prioritize yourself."
I glanced at him gratefully.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Hao smiled lightly.
"Don't mention it. Just consider it my way of repaying you for helping me pack my things back then."
I paused for a moment before realizing what he meant.
Back then, when I helped Cheng Hao pack, I had accidentally dropped his wallet on the ground.
Inside, there was a photo of him and Aunt Gui Lan.
I was surprised and asked him why he was so close to Aunt Gui Lan.
He said it was because she had helped him during his most difficult times.
I never expected that he would remember this.
Cheng Hao continued speaking.
“Xiao Wen, if you don’t want to go back, you can stay with me for a while.”
“It’s fine to return when you’ve figured things out.”
I looked at him gratefully.
“Thank you, Mr. Cheng.”
Cheng Hao nodded.
“It’s nothing. You should go rest.”
I sat in Cheng Hao's room, feeling a mix of emotions.
The amount of information I learned today was overwhelming, and I needed to sort through it carefully.
I closed my eyes and began to organize my thoughts.
First, there was my mother’s actions.
Why did she go to the back mountain on the night of the incident?
And why did she receive a call from my uncle after the incident?
Was it merely a coincidence, or was someone deliberately orchestrating this?
Next was the shadow that Cheng Hao mentioned.
Did he really see a shadow fleeing from the orchard?
Or was it just a distraction?
Lastly, there was the reason behind Ma Guilan's poisoning.
Why was there poison residue in her body?
Who exactly administered this poison?
The more I thought about it, the more my head ached, feeling like it might explode.
At that moment, I suddenly noticed a cabinet filled with medications in the corner of the bedroom.
It was covered with various labels, looking like commonly used drugs.
Curiously, I stepped closer and casually picked up a bottle of Lidocaine.
This is a prescription medication that can only be obtained at a hospital.
Could it be that Cheng Hao often falls ill?
I frowned, a hint of doubt flashing through my mind.
As far as I knew, this drug wasn't commonly used.
Why would Cheng Hao buy such medication?
And judging by his appearance, he didn't seem like someone who was sick.
Could it be that this medicine was intended for something else?
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head.
A sudden wave of dizziness hit me, and everything went black as I lost consciousness.
In the dead of night, I woke up.
Surrounded by darkness, the only light came from a faint glow seeping through the window.
I realized I was tied up in an abandoned room.
As I pondered my situation, voices drifted in from outside the door.
“Brother Qiang, what should we do with this kid?”
A familiar voice rang out.
It was Cheng Hao!
Another voice responded with a scoff.
“What do you want me to do about it?”
“How the hell should I know?”
Cheng Hao's voice trembled slightly.
“But he knows so much. If he spills it…”
The man referred to as Brother Qiang impatiently interrupted him.
“What are you afraid of?”
“Just find a place to cut out his tongue and sell him off to Southeast Asia.”
