Jiangsu Province, Qiansu City, Yangsi County, Liren Town.

This wasn't yet Sheng Fei's hometown.

One still needed to drive another hour after reaching Liren Town until the boundary marker of two cities before arriving at the village where Sheng Fei’s family was located.

The place couldn’t be described simply as remote; it hadn't been touched by new rural construction efforts either. Thankfully, this area wasn't too impoverished—each household had a lot of land and decent annual harvests, plus raising pigs and rabbits helped earn some money.

Of course, driving an expensive luxury car to such a place inevitably garnered attention. Throughout the journey, there were young people who recognized the Maybach, all expressing amazement followed by deep confusion: Why was such an extravagant car here

The national highway was dusty, and Wang Zheng squinted as he looked ahead on the road, pointing to the villages beside it and saying, "I wonder if you've ever been to a place like this before"

"No, I haven't," Shangguan Shishi replied honestly.

"We just need to experience it. If you're not used to it, don't complain—though we probably won’t be staying overnight here."

Shangguan Shishi said, "It's okay, there aren't too many things happening in the capital right now, so we can stay in Jiangsu for a couple more days." With recent events piling up, she was indeed tired and wanted to get away. Indeed, not everyone could enjoy high status.

"Then let’s consider this trip as a break," Wang Zheng said while looking at the road ahead, "We should be arriving at Sheng Fei's hometown in about an hour."

Shangguan Shishi looked at Wang Zheng driving seriously and asked curiously, "I've always wondered how you knew where Sister Sheng Fei’s hometown was. You seemed very familiar with the route, as if you’d traveled it many times before.

Wang Zheng smiled but didn't explain much: "I've been here a few times before."

...

Sheng Fei arrived at her home earlier than Wang Zheng, yet when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't believe her own eyes and almost thought that she had taken the wrong road.

The row of tiled houses was gone, replaced by a row of three-story small buildings that rose from flat land. The design was stylish, with large balconies, resembling garden villas in big cities, making it hard to remember this is the countryside at the border of two cities.

However, familiar smiles, neighbors' houses, and crops drying on the road made Sheng Fei certain that this was indeed her hometown.

But how did things change so much

Standing beside the Volkswagen Scirocco, Sheng Fei felt somewhat at a loss when looking at this luxurious garden villa.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman in her fifties, wearing a floral blouse and with short hair and dark skin, came out of the courtyard of the building. Upon seeing the tall-standing Sheng Fei, she took a few seconds to confirm who it was before exclaiming joyfully: "Daughter, you've come back!"

"Mom!" Seeing her mother, with her kind smile, Sheng Fei's nose immediately became congested and tears wouldn't stop.

"Good child, you're finally back." Sheng Mom hugged Sheng Fei with teary eyes: "But it’s been two years since we last saw each other."

"It has indeed been two years," wiping away her tears, Sheng Fei said. "Mom, why don't I take you this time Would you like to live in the capital city with me"

Sheng Mom smiled and replied: "Can’t go, my child. Look at our home—such a big building has been built, your grandparents and uncles have all moved in here; we now live such good lives, I’m even more unwilling to leave."

Sheng Fei's expression flickered with a hint of confusion: "Mom, where did the money for building this house come from"

"Where else would it come from Haven't you been sending money every month" Sheng Mom patted Sheng Fei’s head and said, "My daughter, I originally planned to save up your money as a dowry, but seeing how your cousin couldn’t get married because he didn’t have a good house, I decided to build this big one."

After a brief pause, Sheng Mom continued: "Having such an outstanding daughter, I don't know how much face you've given me in the village. Every time my old neighbors see me, they only praise you endlessly. Who says raising a girl isn’t better than raising a boy My daughter is far superior to those men in the village."

Sheng Fei’s confusion grew even more: "Uh, Mom, hold on, let's not talk about that yet. Building this house must have cost several hundred thousand yuan, right How could I possibly send back so much money over these years"

"Yes, there definitely is," Sheng Mom said. "Building the little villa cost a total of 600,000 yuan; each month you’ve wired more than two ten-thousand yuan to us for several years now. My daughter sure knows how to earn money in Beijing."

"Oh, I see," Sheng Fei nodded on the surface but was skeptical inside:

‘But as far as I remember, I’ve only been sending three or five thousand yuan each month. What’s going on here’

"Mom, I need to figure this out," Sheng Fei didn't want too many doubts about this matter because she was afraid it might be a trap set by someone else. "How many times did you receive the two ten-thousand yuan each month How exactly did they come through"

Sheng Mom looked even more bewildered: “What’s wrong, my daughter Don’t tell me you don’t know where your money went One time it was a bank transfer to our account and another time it was from the post office. Usually around two ten-thousand yuan.”

"Uh, okay, I guess that makes sense." With too many uncertainties, Sheng Fei didn't dare refute her in front of her mother. The one thing she could be certain about is that the monthly remittance of two ten thousand yuan definitely wasn’t from her.

Then who else

"Mom, this dress" Sheng Fei took a closer look at the floral-patterned blouse her mom was wearing and her face expressed quite an array of emotions!

Incredible, beyond incredible!

"What's wrong now Is my daughter sick today She keeps acting so strangely."

Mrs. Sheng felt that Sheng Fei was acting very unusual today.

"Don't say anything yet, let me have a look." When Sheng Fei got anxious, she hurried to check the label on her mother's shirt collar. After confirming the line of Italian text, she finally wore an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

It was a classic piece from the internationally renowned luxury brand, Imarni!

The brand once released a series of floral prints that looked almost identical to what rural women in China might make themselves. However, foreign wealthy ladies were practically powerless against such designs and rushed to order them at fashion shows. Remember when the Italian First Lady wore a short floral jacket during her visit to China and was ridiculed online for over a month

Others might not know this, but Sheng Fei, as a professional designer who had won the Starlight Award and served as a design director at a clothing company, naturally knew everything about it.

However, with her professional eye, she nearly mistook the outfit for an ordinary "village dress."

"Daughter, what's wrong Don't you recognize the clothes I sent to my mother" Mrs. Sheng touched Sheng Fei's forehead, wondering if her daughter was really delirious from a fever, as today’s behavior had been truly abnormal.

"Mom, I’m not sick! Really!" Sheng Fei looked serious and moved the hand on her forehead away. Suddenly she froze and said: "Imarni, Imarni... recently, it seems like someone was wearing this brand somewhere; why does it feel so familiar."

Sheng Fei searched through her memory carefully, a vague figure gradually becoming clear.

Wang Zheng!

The enigmatic bodyguard wore exactly this Imarni outfit when he first met Sheng Fei at the villa on Tiantang Mountain: a faded undershirt and shorts with that sought-after abroad sandal! straight at Wang Zheng!Zhang Yanqing, who stood behind her, saw this sudden turn of events but was too frightened to react effectively; she could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yanni rushed towards W...
