Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

What's strange about Chapter 707?
Lu Yuanqiu sat to the side, unsure of what to say. The words that came out of his mouth were just a sarcastic remark: "...I knew the company would die."

"But I was just joking, is it really that scary??"

Bai Qingxia was used to her father suddenly doing things in front of others that caught people off guard. Fearing that Bai Songzhe's emotions would remain unstable, she continued to whisper comforting words in his ear, just like before, while touching his fist.

Her words of comfort were indeed effective. Bai Songzhe gradually loosened his grip, and the letter that had been clenched into a ball was returned to his daughter's hand.

After what had just happened, Bai Qingxia was hesitant to let her father touch the letter again. She handed the letter to Lu Yuanqiu and asked him to hold it further away.

"Should we talk to the doctor?" Bai Qingxia asked after hesitating.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and tell my mom later."

"Ran".

"what?"

Bai Qingxia suddenly heard a word from Bai Songzhe's mouth, as did Lu Yuanqiu. The two of them, surprised, leaned their heads in at the same time.

But Bai Songzhe fell silent again, staring blankly into the air, as if he were lost in some profound memory.

His voice was very different from before at this time, so Lu Yuanqiu could hear it very clearly.

Lu Yuanqiu confirmed, "You heard that too, right?"

Bai Qingxia nodded immediately, then added, "This is the second time. The last time was..."

Lu Yuanqiu: "The time I encouraged you to be brave... to love?"

It was a little embarrassing to say, so Bai Qingxia nodded almost imperceptibly and didn't elaborate on the topic.

Lu Yuanqiu stood up: "I'll go tell my mom right away."

……

The next day, after the Qingming Festival holiday ended, the two boarded the high-speed train to Zhucheng again, this time accompanied by Cao Shuang.

The psychiatrist's response yesterday was ambiguous. According to Bai Qingxia, it was basically the same as the doctor's answer when she asked him last time: she was getting better, getting better...

Su Xiaoya pressed for details as a colleague and old classmate, but the head of the psychiatry department gave the same unchanging answer. Lu Yuanqiu then understood that when things would get better depended on the weather.

Of course, doctors aren't gods and can't give a specific date. As a family member, receiving a "recovering" from the doctor should have been enough, but Bai Qingxia had waited too long, so long that even "recovering" could no longer stir any emotion in her heart.

Last night, Zheng Yifeng also asked his second uncle, and the answer he received from his second uncle was somewhat unexpected.

Uncle Zheng knew that Zheng's father had gone to the United States when Zheng Yifeng was three years old, around the time Bai Songzhe had his accident. However, only Uncle Zheng and Ye Hui knew this, and Zheng Yifeng did not know where his father had gone.

Zheng's father returned to China after five years in the United States. Zheng Yifeng was eight years old that year, which explains how Zheng Yifeng's younger brother came to be.

Zheng's father did not explain to his son where he had been for the past five years, and after only two years of living with his father, Zheng's father disappeared again. This time, Zheng's father did not report his whereabouts to anyone, and no one knew where he went. This was the beginning of his disappearance without a trace.

As for Yun Tan's death, Uncle Zheng said he was unaware of it, because after Yun Tan divorced Zheng's father, Uncle Zheng had no further contact with his former sister-in-law.

Zheng Yifeng didn't know where his mother's grave was until he was eight years old. His father told him after returning from the United States, and also told him that his mother had been in a car accident when he was three years old.

During the phone call last night, Zheng Yifeng belatedly realized that his memory of his mother dying in a car accident years ago was entirely based on his father's version of events, and he had gradually come to believe it as the truth due to his young age. While the facts now seem clear, many questions remain.

It is almost certain that Yun Tan was murdered in the United States, but what was the cause of death? It is clearly an unnatural death.

Where did Zheng's father go after leaving Zheng Yifeng for the second time? What were the reasons for his departure?
Lu Yuanqiu felt that it was the United States, but he also felt that Zheng's father might have already resolved the problem during his five years in the United States, so he had no strong reason to return.

Third, Zheng's father should have heard about Bai Songzhe's troubles during the five years he was in the United States, so why didn't he return to China to help? Based on the current information, they should be true brothers.

Even if he couldn't get away, why didn't Zheng's father look for Bai Songzhe when he returned to China five years later?
...Perhaps they did look for it, but Bai Qingxia didn't know about it. At that time, Bai Ruoan was still alive, Bai Songzhe hadn't gone mad, and the three of them lived a relatively stable life without hardship.

and many more!

Lu Yuanqiu suddenly realized something.

He immediately sent a message to Zheng Yifeng to inquire.

Lu Yuanqiu: You said your father stayed in Lucheng for two years after returning to China before disappearing? That means you were ten years old when he disappeared?

Zheng Yifeng: When I was about ten years old, and my younger brother was one year old, my father disappeared.

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at Bai Qingxia sitting by the window next to him in a daze.

Bai Qingxia was also ten years old when Bai Ruoan died in a car accident.

Zheng's father disappeared in the same year. Is there something suspicious about this?
Was Bai Ruoan's car accident related to Zheng's father?
It doesn't necessarily have to be tied together... Lu Yuanqiu felt he was being a bit of a conspiracy theorist. Bai Qingxia had told him about the cause of the car accident: her brother went out at night to get back the toy that had been stolen from her, and they got into a car accident on the way.

"What's wrong?" Bai Qingxia turned to look at Lu Yuanqiu.

Cao Shuang then picked up two pieces of chocolate and handed them over from the back seat: "Brother Qiu and Sister Xia, have some chocolate. It's a gift from Xiaoyueyue."

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia turned around and took the gift, thanked them, and after seeing Cao Shuang sit back down, Lu Yuanqiu shared the coincidence he had just discovered with Bai Qingxia.

The girl paused as she tore open the packaging.

"Let me do it." Lu Yuanqiu helped her tear open the packaging. He knew that his brother's death was the biggest knife in Bai Qingxia's heart, so even when Lu Yuanqiu was joking, he would never tease his brother-in-law, because it would remind Bai Qingxia of that painful memory.

Seeing that the girl was quiet, Lu Yuanqiu explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean that Uncle Zheng hit your brother. I just think that the direct or indirect reason for Uncle Zheng's disappearance may be related to the changes that happened in your family that night. Wasn't Uncle Bai sick during that period?"

"...Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Lu Yuanqiu added, tearing open the packaging and taking out the chocolate, which he then held to Bai Qingxia's lips.

The girl opened her mouth, took a small bite, her thoughts still wandering.

Cao Shuang then leaned forward on the chair and exclaimed in an exaggerated "Wow!": "I'm so envious..."

Lu Yuanqiu: "What are you envious of? Xiao Yueyue gave you chocolate. Isn't that a common gift between couples? Xiaxia has never given me chocolate."

Bai Qingxia twitched the corner of her mouth and ate all the chocolate that Lu Yuanqiu handed her.

Cao Shuang sighed: "Little Yueyue is about to take the college entrance exam, and she says she wants to apply to Zhuhai University."
