Lin Xintong’s Shocking Discovery
In this episode, Lin Xintong was absolutely taken aback by Wang Ma’s revelation. She was certain that both Chi Shan and Xia Yuwei were present in the study when her father was absent. But why would they claim otherwise, insisting that only her father was caught on the surveillance footage?
Emotional Moments with Qin Moyao
Later, Qin Moyao drove Lin Xintong back home, and during the journey, there was a palpable silence. Eventually, Lin Xintong found the courage to apologize to Qin Moyao for her behavior. He reassured her, telling her there was no need to apologize because he understood how difficult it was for her. While Qin Moyao was changing in another room, Lin Xintong decided to pour herself a drink, feeling the need to unwind.
Late-Night Investigations
Sleep eluded Lin Xintong that night, and suddenly, it dawned on her that there might be a camera in her father’s study. She fumbled her way to find it. At the same time, Zhou Mo was also in Lin Guofu’s study, searching for something. As Lin Xintong entered the room, unaware of Zhou Mo’s presence, she accidentally bumped into a bookshelf. Concerned for her safety, Zhou Mo reached out and shielded Lin Xintong. Startled, Lin Xintong noticed Zhou Mo in the study in the middle of the night, deepening her suspicions.
Questions of Trust and Love
Lin Xintong couldn’t shake the feeling that Xia Yuwei had been deceptive. Qin Moyao inquired if she didn’t suspect Chi Shan at all. Lin Xintong explained that Chi Shan had shown his love for her by risking his life a few years back to save her from a car accident, leaving a scar as a permanent reminder. Seeing that scar had convinced Lin Xintong that Chi Shan was the person she was searching for. Qin Moyao couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony, as he had also risked everything to save her in the past, only to be mistaken for Chi Shan. He couldn’t help but find it both ironic and humorous, remarking that Miss Lin had a knack for recognizing people by their scars.
Unraveling the Mystery
Meanwhile, Zhou Mo discovered that the set of numbers corresponded to a property certificate. Furthermore, he uncovered that the individual responsible for the forceful acquisition of the Qin family’s assets was none other than Lin Guofu’s confidant, Liu Yuanshan. Just as Lin Xintong arrived, startling Chi Shan and Xia Yuwei from their sleep, Xia Yuwei quickly positioned herself in front of Chi Shan, offering support to Lin Xintong. Lin Xintong asked them for the surveillance footage from the study, to which Xia Yuwei and Chi Shan exchanged a quick, knowing glance before responding that it had already been discarded.
Betrayal and Desperation
In that moment, Lin Xintong realized that Xia Yuwei had indeed been lying to her. Betrayed by her closest friend, Lin Xintong was overcome with emotions and nearly fainted. Fortunately, Qin Moyao arrived just in time to provide her with the support she needed. Lin Xintong implored Qin Moyao to look into Xia Yuwei’s actions, and he agreed, leading her to meet with Zhou Mo. As Lin Xintong approached Zhou Mo, she was eager to learn what he felt like, but Qin Moyao gently pulled her back, reminding her to maintain her composure as a woman should.
