Who moved her body?

Xu Haiyang didn't avoid Guan Jie's gaze and gave a slight smirk.

"No. But I know the people who investigated her were sent by my cousin. If you want to know who killed the two people who died at the funeral home and hospital morgue, I can tell you. Shadow went to Senhai City, and he was the one who killed those two people. That's all I know."

Guan Jie hid his sharp gaze, but he didn't believe that Xu Haiyang was helping him just because he had saved him.

"If you don't trust me, you can stop here." Xu Haiyang stretched out his hand, looking at the card in Guan Jie's hand.

Guan Jie gripped the card. "I believe you!"

Xu Haiyang stood up and stretched, a nonchalant expression immediately appearing on his face. For the first time, Guan Jie realized that Xu Haiyang was not as shrewd as he seemed.

"Here's the key." Xu Haiyang tossed the keys to his G-Class to Guan Jie. "Using my name, you'll leave Huangyan Island smoothly. Have a safe trip. After tomorrow night, we'll never meet again."

Guan Jie caught the car keys and laughed. "Take your car and run away. Aren't you afraid you'll be implicated with solid evidence?"

Xu Haiyang narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly in the darkness.

"Someone like me wouldn't be normal if I weren't deceived by my subordinates. Using my car and my name—the more conspicuously they do it, the less suspicious I am. You don't need to worry about anything else. Of course, if you fail, I won't help you either. Because I'm a coward!"

Xu Haiyang opened the door, and the light from outside shone in, dazzling Guan Jie.

Papaya suddenly stood up, frowned, and stepped forward to say, "Baidu says that Yang Xiu died because he talked nonsense, not because someone overheard him, he..."

Xu Haiyang looked helpless and interrupted Mugua, saying, "If Baidu knew the secrets of history, would it still be called a secret? Think about it, what kind of person was Cao Cao? He was a cunning and ruthless man. He had to find some reason to kill someone who had his own circle of friends. The claim that Yang Xiu was 'arrogant and conceited' is just an excuse to deceive people."

Papaya followed Xu Haiyang, continuing to press on with her persistent questioning, "Baidu says it's what historians say, so are they all lying?"

"You believe everything the experts say?" Xu Haiyang poked Mugua's head with his finger. "You'll understand when you realize that 'history is the history of the victors.' What the experts say is all nonsense. They're just parrots, repeating what they're told to say."

"Boss, what you're saying is really profound."

"Who's your boss? He knows everything from astronomy to geography. How could someone as intelligent as me have a follower as dense as you? If all else fails, you can just call yourself Watermelon starting tomorrow."

"Watermelon isn't as clever as papaya," the papaya muttered.

"You've even learned to talk back! I'll get you, you stinky papaya." Xu Haiyang reached out to hit her, but this time the papaya jumped away in time. Xu Haiyang raised his hand and threw his bag, but the papaya dodged it again.

A security guard suddenly appeared out of nowhere, clearly having overheard Xu Haiyang's words, with an expression that suggested he wanted to laugh but dared not.

Xu Haiyang quickly straightened his clothes, proudly raised his chin, and Mugua hurriedly picked up her handbag.

The security guard immediately called out, "Young Master!"

……

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of national celebration. Huangyan City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Before sunset, the streets are already overflowing with pedestrians.

Red lanterns hung outside shops along the beach, and the commercial street was filled with festive spirit. A three-mile-long string of colorful lanterns in the shape of "a sky full of stars" obscured the sky, allowing people to look up and see the vast Milky Way. In the central square, twenty-four life-size fairy statues watched the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. Chang'e danced with her flowing sleeves, standing in mid-air, while the Jade Rabbit lay adorably at Chang'e's feet, its snow-white body covered with soft fur. The light shining on it instantly brought it to life, making people exclaim in amazement whether it was really a fairy rabbit.

The two little ones were only willing to return to the island after buying almost all the lanterns. Xu Haiyang, covered in sweat, arranged the lanterns in the car, bought a Chang'e doll for his niece, and a Jade Rabbit-shaped chocolate for his nephew. Only then did the two little ones willingly get into the car.

The island was much quieter. Everyone except the security personnel and the important figures invited by Situ Feng had left the island. Half of the island's population was Chinese and the other half was foreigners, so the Mid-Autumn Festival and Christmas, the two holidays for family reunions, were holidays when the island was least crowded. However, security was much more stringent than usual, with more people on duty. There were two more security personnel at the entrances and exits than usual, and the patrol shifts were much more frequent.

Xu Haiyang instructed his men to unload the two children's lanterns from the car and hang them in the yard, while he carefully watched them.

"That jade rabbit is Miss's favorite. Hey, be careful... that's the tail. Be careful not to straighten it... You, you, you, Ultraman is the young master's treasure. If you ruin it, I'll skin you alive and make you into an Ultraman..."

"Thanks a lot".

Xu Haiyang was so busy that he didn't notice Situ Feng coming to his side. Hearing Situ Feng's words, he quickly turned around and said, "Cousin, we're family, so what's the big deal about hard work? It's just that these lanterns don't match your villa, haha."

Situ Feng's gaze swept over the various lanterns, revealing a childlike heart he had never shown before.

"As long as the kids like it."

After the two children had bathed and changed into their little suits, the older sister grabbed her younger brother's hand and rushed down the steps, shouting as they ran, "Daddy, Daddy, look at the lanterns we bought! Aren't they pretty?"

Situ Feng smiled and nodded. "It looks good."

The younger brother, being pulled along by his older sister, lost his footing and fell downwards with a cry of pain.

Situ Feng's eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets. He was stunned for a second before he reacted. Just as he was running towards the stairs, Xu Haiyang flew past him and caught him just as his brother's head was about to hit the ground. Xu Haiyang used his own body as a cushion to protect his brother.

With a muffled thud, Situ Feng saw the tremor caused by Xu Haiyang's back hitting the stone slab; his body seemed to shake several times before landing steadily.

Xu Haiyang's face was contorted with pain as he lay there, grimacing.

Situ Feng picked up his son, and the little guy quickly forgot his earlier fright. He struggled to get down and, together with his sister, told Situ Feng about their harvest in the Desolate Rock City.

Xu Haiyang patted himself down and sat up, supporting himself on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Situ Feng walked over and extended his hand to Xu Haiyang. "Thank you for earlier."

"Protecting my nephew is my duty, why be so polite?" Xu Haiyang gasped, pulled Situ Feng's hand to stand up, and cried out, "Ouch, my back seems to be hurt."

"Go check on him. If it's not serious, come to the party later," Situ Feng said.

"A cocktail party?" Xu Haiyang leaned back and looked at Situ Feng with a puzzled expression. "The cocktail party is for important people from Di Ruo. I'm not invited, cousin. I'll come back after the party to have dinner with my sister-in-law and the kids."

"Starting this year, you will have to attend all future cocktail parties."

"Me?" Xu Haiyang blinked and asked.
