"I’m here."
The voice was soft, yet it seed to be imbued with an invisible magic that quietly soothed her heart.
Shi i felt the warmth on the back of her hand and felt slightly reassured, "Mhm."
Gao Lian didn’t understand what kind of riddle they were playing and asked, "Finished reading?"
"Yes, I’ve finished," Shi i nodded. "Given Bai Yuejie’s current dire situation, I’m afraid her father and her butler won’t just let things be."
"That’s for sure. After all, it’s his own daughter. We’ve been told by undercover colleagues that soone has already started offering a hefty sum in the black market for a heart, but there’s no evidence of this news yet, and we, the police, can’t pinpoint the exact location of this black market. We still need to wait, but judging by Bai Yuejie’s condition right now, they’re likely to make a big move."
Yes, a big move.
Shi i had thought about it, had guessed it.
And she could be certain that this big move would definitely involve her.
So she was a bit on edge.
After all, she had been deceived once before, and until her death, she had never known who had killed her. For a long ti afterward, she even suspected that Shi Lingyan was the one who killed her, and on several occasions, she almost ended his life.
Thankfully, she could never bring herself to truly deliver the fatal blow, otherwise...
Shi i’s heart was filled with resentnt, and once again, a silent guilt toward Shi Lingyan rose within her.
When Shi Lingyan heard Gao Lian’s words, he also imdiately thought of Shi i.
His gaze turned cold as he said word by word, "Let them make any big move they want. I’m just afraid they won’t dare to co."

Bai Family.
ng Yue had been back ho for a while, and during this ti, she had tried to listen to Zhao Siyan, making an effort to maintain on the surface the marital relationship with Bai Zhengyuan as it used to be.
But she found she simply couldn’t do it.
Their marriage was like a clean glass that, after being delicately cared for over many years, suddenly cracked.
They could barely patch up the crack, but the mark was indelible.
Moreover, the crack between them had already been buried deep for over twenty years. After this collision, what they faced was only fragntation.
She couldn’t forgive Bai Zhengyuan, and Bai Zhengyuan dared not face her.
During the ti she had been back, Bai Zhengyuan had been "busy with work," seemingly oblivious to her return.
ng Yue felt a kind of desolate sadness, and at the sa ti, an unbearable discomfort.
This discomfort reached its peak when she heard that Bai Yuejie’s heart condition had flared up once again.
The doctor regretfully announced, "At most a month. Even with the most advanced technology in the world now, we can only sustain her life for a month. After that, her heart will continue to fail, and her breathing will beco very difficult. We have done our utmost, and if we can’t find a suitable heart then..."
ng Yue sobbed uncontrollably.
After all, she had raised this daughter for so many years. Even though she knew the girl was not her biological child, the emotions she had invested were all real; how could she bear to watch her die?
When Bai Zhengyuan rushed to the hospital, he saw his wife crying to the point of near collapse.
Seeing ng Yue again filled Bai Zhengyuan with complex emotions, but the urgent matter at hand was to understand Bai Yuejie’s condition.
Bai Zhengyuan, though he had anticipated it, still staggered a bit under the weight of the doctor’s words.
