I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Xie Bingning was astonished. "Aside from twins, are there really people in this world who look exactly alike?"

"What's so strange about that?" Qin Ge smiled knowingly. "If you went to the Southern Kingdom, you could probably get plastic surgery to look just like her, at least seven or eight points similar!"

"If you go to the Elephant Kingdom for some further transformation, they could even change your gender!"

He abruptly changed the subject, "Miss Su, since Jiang Yingrong wants her daughter to replace you, how do you plan to escape and survive?"

"She couldn't possibly be unaware of how enormous a threat your existence poses to her and her daughter, could she?"

"To them, you're a ticking time bomb!"

"If I were her, I would never let you live. Only if you die will the truth remain unknown to others."

"Also, you said you escaped the day before yesterday, right? In all this time, haven't you tried to contact your family?"

Su Li felt a pang of sadness, her nose stinging. "It was my old butler who risked his life to carve out a bloody path for me, using his life to buy me a chance to escape."

"Jiang Yingrong didn't let me go either. Those people who tried to arrest me by the river were sent by her."

"I called my dad, but I couldn't get through."

"When I escaped, I lost my phone and everything else. From the night before last until I met you guys, I was constantly on the run and couldn't even find a chance to beg for food."

"It took a lot of effort to find a chance to call my dad, and it was at the risk of being caught by Jiang Yingrong's people."

"My dad is usually very busy, and you can't get through to unknown numbers on his phone, but I still sent him a text message."

"Is it that bad?" Qin Ge handed his phone to Su Li. "Call him again now."

"It was understandable that he couldn't get through on the phone before, but after your dad saw the text message, there's no reason for him to block unknown numbers anymore, right?"

"He can doubt the authenticity of the text message, but when it concerns his own daughter, shouldn't he be more cautious?"

"Thank you." Su Li took the phone with both hands and quickly dialed a number.

While waiting for the call to connect, I felt both excited and a little nervous.

Once, twice, three times...

All calls could not be connected.

"It still doesn't work." Su Li handed the phone back to Qin Ge, her mood low.

"It's nothing!" Qin Ge didn't answer the phone. "If unknown numbers can't get through, then text messages can also be blocked. That makes perfect sense."

"Besides your father, is there no one else you can contact? Not even a relative or friend?"

Su Li shook her head. "I only remember my dad's number."

"Alright!" Qin Ge changed the subject. "Miss Su, how would you like me to help you?"

"Just find a way to get me back to the Su family and let me meet my dad!" Su Li blurted out, clearly having already thought about this issue.

"If I can meet my dad, I'll have a way to prove that I'm the real Su Li!"

"Don't worry, I will repay you in the future. House, car, money, whatever you want, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"That's all?" Qin Ge looked thoughtfully at Su Li's face. "That's too easy, not challenging at all!"

"How about I just kill that imposter and that Jiang Yingrong for you? You'll be seeking revenge on them after you get back to the Su family, right?"

"Otherwise, are you sure seeing your dad will really help?"

"Come on, let me ask you a few questions first."

"How did your mother die?"

Do you look more like your mother or your father?

"Is there something wrong with your dad's mind?"

"What do you mean by asking these questions?" Su Li was completely confused, and Xie Bingning also looked bewildered.

"Are you serious?" Qin Ge was truly impressed. "Fine, then I'll explain it more clearly."

"According to you, Jiang Lingyu should be around your age, so how old must her mother, Jiang Yingrong, be?"

Seeing that his children still looked blank, he helplessly shrugged. "Is it... really that hard to understand?"

"Your father hasn't remarried for so many years, and then he found this old woman. What did he want from her? Was it because Jiang Yingrong is old enough to have no water or electricity, or because she has a daughter?"

"How else could it be explained if it's not because someone's mentally unstable?"

Xie Bingning asked, puzzled, "There's nothing strange about that, is there?"

"Jiang Lingyu and Su Li are about the same age, so Jiang Yingrong and Su Li's father should be about the same age as well. People of the same age have common topics, so it's normal for them to get along better, isn't it?"

"What everyone values..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Qin Ge raised his hand to stop Xie Bingning from continuing. "Are you still going to say that what they have is true love, a resonance between souls, and that age doesn't matter at all?"

"You don't understand men at all. If you can choose an 18-year-old, you definitely won't choose a 28-year-old!"

"If he were that devoted, he would never marry again after waiting for so many years."

"Remarrying is perfectly acceptable, but stop trying to portray yourself as a devoted lover!"

"Your Su family seems quite wealthy. Don't tell me he didn't have a choice; he could easily find ten women younger than you!"

"But your dad just had to choose Jiang Yingrong. What else could he be but mentally ill?"

"I think I understand what you mean." Su Li appeared calm, but her heart was in turmoil. "You mean Jiang Yingrong has a special significance for my father, right?"

"Then what do you mean by asking about my mother's situation?"

"She died in a car accident. I think I look more like my dad, at least that's what everyone around me says."

Qin Ge looked at Su Li and smiled, "I love making up complete stories from fragmented information. If I'm lucky, I might even uncover the truth."

"No matter how advanced the technology in the South is, to create an identical face, there must be a certain foundation, namely, that the two faces already have some similarities."

"Have you ever considered that maybe Jiang Lingyu never had any plastic surgery and that she's always looked like that?"

"Your mother has been dead for so many years and your father hasn't remarried, but he suddenly became restless shortly after your grandfather passed away. Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?"

"Could there be some kind of connection between these two?"

Su Li was completely unsettled, and Xie Bingning also gasped in shock.

Qin Ge said it was made up, but upon closer examination, it turned out to be surprisingly logical!

But Su Li still couldn't accept it. If Qin Ge's speculation was true, then she and Jiang Lingyu were half-sisters!

If her father had betrayed the marriage more than 20 years ago, then her mother's death was probably not an accident at all!

Qin Ge continued, "You can think about these things later!"

"Let's talk about the terms first, and let me see if it's worth it for you."
