Once Shen Xi returned, she went straight to find Meng Yu and asked directly, “Meng Yu, did you once rescue a girl in a red-light district in C Nation and release all the girls there?”

Meng Yu was taken aback and instinctively glanced in the direction of the living room, where Li Zhe was still busy in the kitchen. He breathed a sigh of relief because he did not want Li Zhe to know about his past where he had walked on the edge of a blade, fearing that it would worry him.

“How did you know?” Meng Yu asked.

“Gu Chen told me,” Shen Xi replied and proceeded to recount the things Gu Chen had mentioned earlier.

In response to what he heard, Meng Yu admitted, ‘Yes, I took on that mission to stay in the alliance. My abilities were limited, so 1 chose to cooperate with the local government. After rescuing my mission target, I also helped the local police save the girls in the red-light district. I never expected that the red-light district was owned by the Gu family.”

“In that case, it seems that Gu Chen was telling the truth about this matter. But I’m not certain whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Gu Chen or his uncle. Perhaps Gu Chen intended to use us to get rid of his uncle and framed him?” Shen Xi said.

Meng Yu nodded, “It’s possible. Maybe Gu Chen thought we had already discovered his involvement, so he confessed to divert suspicion and set us against Gu An. He’s playing the long game.”

“I’ll discuss this matter with Guan Lei when I get back and look into it further,” Shen Xi said.

“Alright!” Meng Yu replied. Then, he added, “Xi, there’s something I want to confirm with you.”

Shen Xi nodded, “Go ahead!”

“Four years ago, it wasn’t Li Zhe who sent you to rescue me, right?” Meng Yu fixed his gaze on Shen Xi and asked.

Shen Xi had not expected Meng Yu to bring up this topic, and if he had not mentioned it today, she might have forgotten about it.

Shen Xi said apologetically, “You’re right. It was my fault. At that time, Li Zhe had someone hypnotize me, so I wanted to get back at him by taking you away. I was afraid you wouldn’t come willingly, so 1 had to have you hypnotized to make you cooperate.”

Shen Xi looked remorseful and continued, “Later, when Li Zhe got engaged, and you found out the truth about the kidnapping, you had a breakdown and were sent abroad. I forgot about this matter. I’m sorry, Meng Yu. I went too far.’

Nieng Yu simply patted Shen Xi’s head and said, “It’s not your fault. Even if you hadn’t hypnotized me and taken me away, I would have left once I remembered the truth about the kidnapping. At that time, if you weren’t with me, I might have died long ago.”

Shen Xi stared at Meng Yu and said, “Meng Yu, don’t say that.”

Meng Yu looked at Shen Xi’s serious expression and smiled slightly, affectionately rubbing her head. He said, “Alright, I won’t say it again. But I’ll have to remove this hypnosis. Otherwise, life feels a bit unreal.”

Shen Xi nodded and asked, “When will you do it? Shall I accompany you?”

“No need, you still have to confirm Gu Chen’s matters, right? You go ahead, and I’ll find Zheng Huai by myself,” Meng Yu declined.

Just as Meng Yu turned around, he spotted Li Zhe standing at the door, holding a spatula with a resentful look on his face. Finding him amusing, he asked, “Director Li, why are you standing at the door?”

Li Zhe, with an annoyed tone, raised the spatula and said, “It’s time for dinner!”

“Xi, you should have some too. Director Li is quite a good cook,” Meng Yu invited.

Sensing Li Zhe’s jealousy, Shen Xi almost burst into laughter but managed to contain it. She shook her head and said, “I just had dinner, so you two go ahead. I have some things to take care of at home.”

After Shen Xi left, Li Zhe brought his head closer to Meng Yu and said, “l want my head rubbed too!”

Meng Yu found it both amusing and exasperating. “Director Li, why are you even jealous of Xi? She’s my little sister.”

Li Zhe stubbornly pressed his large head into Meng Yu’s hand and said, “l don’t care, you have to rub my head, or I won’t be happy!’

Meng Yu was utterly amused by Li Zhe’s behavior. He was a grown man, and yet so childish.

While Meng Yu thought that Li Zhe was being childish, he could not help but go along with it, gently rubbing his head.. With an affectionate tone, he asked,

“Are you satisfied now? Are you happy?”
