A few days later, Xia Yichu received another call from Pei Shizhou tonight.

"Xiao Chu, the cargo on one of Xia Zhiqian's long-distance trucks was stolen. He went to deal with it a couple of days ago, so he hasn't seen Yang Yunxian yet."

Pei Shizhou had everything arranged, but he couldn't find Xia Zhiqian. He asked Xia's grandparents and found out that Xia Zhiqian wasn't in Kyoto.

"Then let's wait until he gets back. How's Yang Yunxia doing?"

Pei Shizhou thought the same thing, and at the same time, he was afraid that Yang Yunxian would drive him to his death. He even asked his comrades to tell Yang Yunxian that Xia Zhiqian was not in Kyoto, so that she would know that a hunger strike would be useless.

My comrade told me that she didn't cause any more trouble today, probably because she's come to her senses and is eating properly instead of going on a hunger strike.

"Yang Yunxia is nothing special, except that after Wang Fengxian died, her relationship with the Yang family improved. Grandma Xia wouldn't let her take care of them, so she usually went to see Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia first after get off work."

Then they would go back to their own home, or to the Yang family's house. They seemed perfectly normal; they didn't go anywhere special, and they didn't have any contact with strangers.

After Pei Shizhou was discharged from the hospital, his employer began to follow Yang Yunxia. Grandma Xia knew about Xia Yichu's kidnapping by spies, and Pei Shizhou also suspected that she was involved. He regretted not having someone follow her sooner.

"Shizhou, is your hand any better?"

"I'm much better now. It doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm slowly regaining some strength."

"That's good. Shizhou, is your uncle not planning to go abroad?"

Pei Shizhou's hand has healed, but Zhou Wenbin has remained in China. Xia Yichu is afraid that he will discover Zhou Wenhui's death is related to Pei Feng and seek revenge on Pei Feng in advance.

She'll be studying in Pengcheng then, and she doesn't know how to tell Pei Shizhou about this so it won't seem abrupt.

"Yes, I don't plan to go abroad for the time being."

Zhou Wenbin was afraid that Pei Feng would cause trouble for Pei Shizhou, so he hadn't been to the hospital recently and had been staying at home all day.

"Oh, did Pei Feng and his family cause you any trouble?"

"No, the Pei family is at the police station. Pei Feng is too busy to bother me."

Pei Shizhou told Xia Yichu about the Pei family's affairs. Xia Yichu really didn't expect that because of her rebirth and her relationship with Pei Shizhou, she would indirectly change many things in the Pei family.

Xia Yichu didn't know whether Pei Zongna worked at the Zhang family's company in her past life, but Pei Zongna definitely hadn't been to jail.

Her husband's surname seems to be Li, but it's unclear whether his name is Li Guangyuan or Xia Yichu.

"Shizhou, you should also keep an eye on Pei Feng. I'm afraid he might hold a grudge because you didn't help him and try to get back at you."

Since there's no way to remind Pei Shizhou to keep an eye on Zhou Wenbin, then having him keep an eye on Pei Feng will be fine too. That way, if Zhou Wenbin investigates Pei Feng and Feng Yarou, Pei Shizhou will also find out.

"Okay, don't worry! I'll be careful."

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up. Xia Yichu brushed her teeth and washed her face before going to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning. She kept thinking about her past life, trying to see if she had missed anything.

She knew very little about the Pei family and Pei Shizhou, and most of what she learned came from television later. She didn't know if those things were true, but one thing was certain: Pei Shizhou's hand had indeed been crippled.

It seems that Zhou Wenbin only began investigating the Pei family after his hand was crippled. He then discovered that Zhou Wenhui's death was related to Pei Feng, though the television program didn't specify where he found out.

If Pei Shizhou's hand is unharmed in this lifetime, does that mean Zhou Wenbin will not have the idea of ​​investigating the Pei family, and therefore the subsequent events will not have occurred?

However, Zhou Wenbin is in Kyoto, and it's not impossible that at some point Pei Feng might do something that arouses his suspicion and triggers his desire to investigate Pei Feng. The more Xia Yichu thought about it, the less she could sleep.

What Xia Yichu didn't know was that Zhou Wenbin had already begun preparing to investigate Pei Feng in the past few days. The reason was that on the afternoon Pei Shizhou returned from surgery, after Zhou Wenbin spoke with Pei Shizhou, he received a phone call from a mysterious person at his home.

The call was from a man who said his sister had been murdered. Her car accident wasn't an accident; it was deliberately caused.

By the time Zhou Wenbin wanted to ask anything else, the other party had already hung up. Zhou Wenbin had someone check the phone number and discovered that the man had made the call from a busy phone booth, making it impossible to trace his identity.

But this phone call was like a seed that took root and sprouted in Zhou Wenbin's heart. He already had doubts about his sister's death, and this call further strengthened his determination to investigate.

These past two days, while he appeared to be at home, he made numerous phone calls when his parents and Pei Shizhou weren't looking. Zhou Wenbin knew all sorts of people and had many connections investigate Pei Feng.

He even planned to hire several people to keep an eye on the Pei family. Currently, apart from Pei Feng, the rest of the Pei family members are still at the police station. Once the men of the Pei family are released, he intends to have someone watch each of them.

He had others secretly gather all sorts of information about Pei Feng, from his work to his daily whereabouts, leaving no detail overlooked.

As for Pei Shizhou, although Xia Yichu had reminded him, he rarely went out because his uncle was at home. He seemed quite normal, focusing more on his hands and Yang Yunxia's matter.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Wenbin's investigation into Pei Feng had already quietly begun, and a storm surrounding the Pei family was gradually brewing.

Days passed by, and soon it was time for Xia Yichu's winter vacation. Pei Feng hadn't contacted Pei Shizhou at all. Pei Shizhou's hand healed very quickly, and he didn't care about their affairs. His uncle had also gone to work at the hospital, and he was very punctual for get off work.

Xia Yichu was preparing to go back to the Lin family home for the Chinese New Year. Xia Guoan had mentioned that Xiao Cheng might come home. So, as soon as winter vacation started, she planned to visit her grandparents in Kyoto first, and then go back to her maternal uncle's house closer to the New Year.

"Xiao Chu, I've had Song Qihang buy your plane ticket. Come to Kyoto as soon as your vacation starts, and I'll have him pick you up and take you to the airport, okay?"

Today is Xia Yichu's last day at school; she'll be on vacation after her exams. Pei Shizhou misses her terribly and wants to see her right away.

"You've already bought the plane tickets for me, and now you're asking me if it's okay?" Xia Yichu said, pretending to be angry.

"Xiao Chu, I'm sorry, please don't be angry. I miss you so much. Don't you miss me too?"

Xia Yichu didn't dare to bring up the topic. Whenever she had free time, she would think about her past life. She would think of Pei Shizhou when she talked to him on the phone, but rarely at other times.

"I'm not angry. I was planning to go to Kyoto today, and I called you so you could find someone to buy me a plane ticket."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shizhou beamed and said, "Really? That's great!"

"By the way, Xiao Chu, if your cats and dogs aren't going to be taken care of, I'll have Song Qihang take them back later."

"No need, Qiu Hong and Qiu Yue aren't going home, they'll take care of them for me."

The two sisters dared not go home this year, as their younger sister would only be sixteen after the Lunar New Year. They figured their parents wouldn't bother with her, so they decided to find an opportunity next year to secretly bring their younger sister to Shenzhen as well.

"Okay, you go to school now, see you tonight."

"it is good"
