Yunsu waved her hand in front of Lin Xue's face, bringing her back to reality. "Did you remember something?"
"Nothing, I just zoned out for a moment. By the way, do you have any conclusions?"
"You've nearly crumpled your resume, Lin Xue. Are you really okay? Is there something you're not telling me?" Yunsu took the resume from her hands.
"Of course not. It's just that it's getting late, and I'm feeling tired. We should get some sleep." Lin Xue pulled the blanket over herself and lay down.
Lin Xue's reluctance to speak left Yunsu feeling puzzled, but respecting Lin Xue's emotions, she chose not to press further.
Lin Xue's hesitation made Yunsu uncomfortable, and it was clear that San Zhua was also upset. She tossed and turned in bed, making the frame creak under her movements.
In the morning, Yunsu woke up with a splitting headache.
She glanced at Lin Xue's bed. "Huh, how did she manage to get up so early?"
She opened her phone and saw a text message from Lin Xue.
"Boss, I've gone home. Could you please handle my class this morning? Just say I have something at home."
"Ah."
"Why do we have class on Saturday? It's absolutely ridiculous."
Finally managing to get through the class, Yunsu dragged San Zhua to the Cool Drink Hall at the school gate.
"Yesterday, while we were analyzing that document, we overlooked a crucial clue, a shocking secret. For now, let's not rush to inform Lin Xue. If anything goes wrong, I would lose all face," Yunsu said.
"Do you remember the uncle Huo that Lin Xue mentioned?" Yunsu continued.
"Are you talking about the father of that rich girl who shares her name?" San Zhua asked.
"Exactly. During Lin Xue's recounting of her kidnapping, did you notice anything unusual?"
"Unusual?" San Zhua bit down on his straw, racking his brain for an answer.
"Right. Now that you mention it, I do recall you saying there was a huge contrast in uncle Huo's attitude before and after Lin Xue was rescued?"
"Precisely. He was adamantly unwilling to spend money to save her beforehand, yet afterward he was extremely generous in offering help. The disparity is just too stark."
"So what does that indicate? Can't he have a change of heart?"
"A change of heart? Let me ask you this: if a dog is about to starve to death and you do nothing to save it, but then give it a grand burial after it dies, is that really a change of heart?"
"Lin Xue's mother has been widowed for many years; she wouldn't suddenly have a lover, would she?" San Zhua raised his hand to order another cup of Ice Cream coffee but noticed Yunsu looking at him with great surprise.
"Could it really be true?"
"If that's the case, then before Lin Xue is rescued, her mother would definitely seek out Father Huo. Once they meet, they will know the truth. How could they just stand by and do nothing? It doesn't make sense at all."
"What if they never meet? What if Father Huo is out or unable to return for some reason, and Mrs. Huo is the one handling everything?"
"So you're saying that Mrs. Huo would let someone die out of resentment?"
"Moreover, the situation might be even more complicated. The two of them look extremely similar, yet they have no blood relation. Such a scenario is quite rare."
"I think I’m starting to understand what you mean. I've used similar clichés in my novels before."
"Come on, this might actually be something that happened in real life. Have you heard about Lin Xue's father?"
"Lin Xue said she was a posthumous child; her father passed away before she was born."
"That's just her mother's side of the story. You know, anything is possible in this world. For instance, renting a husband to get a household registration for the child could happen; it’s just unfortunate that the fake husband died shortly after this sham marriage—perhaps he was in a car accident."
San Zhua applauded her.
