Gong mochen's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat.
"Qin Sheng, let go."
The man's hand was covered in a thin layer of calluses because he used a gun and practiced martial arts.

After a long time, Gong Mochen looked at the girl on the bed. She was so tired that she was sound asleep. He used a tissue to wipe her small hands.
The corner of his lips curled into a smile as he shook his head helplessly.
His phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Nie Feng's number. He picked up the call.
"President, Qiu Hui found a password," Nie Feng reported.
"Okay, I'll go right away," Gong Mochen said softly.
He covered Qin Sheng with a blanket and carefully turned on the night light. When he walked out of the room, he took a deep look at the girl and closed the door.
When he was at the crematorium, he asked Nie Feng to look for Qiu Hui because he wanted Qiu Hui to go back and look for Cheng Yi's belongings. He wanted to see what clues he could find.
Someone must have killed Cheng Li to silence him. He must have found something on that person to make that person kill him.
Sure enough, Qiu Hui found something.
He drove to Qiu Hui's house. The room was in a mess, as if though it had been robbed. Everything had been tossed around and strewn all over the floor.
When Qiu Hui saw Gong Mochen, she pressed the button on the wheelchair and went over to him, holding a piece of paper in her hand.
"Third Young Master, I found this in a photo frame! The photo frame was bought by Cheng Yi after he secretly exchanged Miss Qin Sheng's documents."
Nie Feng told her that Doctor Ye had found out that Cheng Yi had been poisoned to death. She'd obediently come back to look for clues, but in the end, after she'd searched through everything, she hadn't found anything useful.
However, during the last few moments of her search, her arm knocked a photo frame off the bedside table and she'd found something... A clue... She'd found a piece of paper behind the photo.
On it was a sequence made up of letters and numbers. It looked like a password. She recalled that this photo frame had been bought for her on the day of the accident.
Cheng Yi put the photo of the two of them in it and placed it on the bedside table.
She originally thought that this was a sign of love from the man, but now she felt that there must've been something suspicious here.
Gong Mochen glanced at the number on the piece of paper and handed it to Nie Feng, instructing him to find out where this secret came from.
Tears rolled down Qui Hui's cheeks. "Third Young Master, Cheng Yi died unjustly, you must avenge him! Find the culprit who harmed him!"
Gong mochen nodded. "Don't worry, I will find out who that person is. It's not safe here for you now. You should go back to the Qin family's old residence. Nie Feng, bring Qiu Hui back."
"Yes." Nie Feng accepted the order and called his men to push Qiu Hui's wheelchair into the car.
Gong Mochen sent another secret guard to guard the place. He thought that the person would be looking for this thing as well...
On a mountainside, a man behind a pair of high-powered binoculars was watching Gong Mochen's convoy leave. The starlight was sprinkled on his silver mask, making it seem particularly eerie and terrifying.

The next morning's sunlight gently hit Qin Sheng's face. She comfortably stretched her body and opened her eyes. She instantly saw the clothes that Gong Mochen had put out for her.
The clothes had been matched perfectly for her. Her small face blushed and she reached out to put them on. She went to the bathroom to wash up and skipped downstairs to eat breakfast.
The people in the dining room were all seated at the table. There was an empty seat next to Zheng Min, which once belonged to Qin Yunting.
As if afraid that everyone would forget that Qin Yunting was kicked out of the House, Zheng Min still asked the servants to place Qin Yunting's cutlery out at every meal.
Qin Sheng greeted everyone skillfully and sat next to Gong Mochen. She started to eat breakfast.
Li Ang's eyes glared at the little woman. She did not greet him, but he was not being unreasonable. Regardless, there was a lesson on court etiquette today, and he was waiting to teach her a lesson at school!
After breakfast, Qin Sheng took Gong Mochen's car to school. She didn't forget to ask the maid to pack the untouched snacks for Chu Xia.
When she entered the classroom, she saw Chu Xia with a sad face. She handed the lunchbox to her. "I brought you breakfast!"
Chu Xia forced a smile. "Thank you. I'll take some back for my mother, so she can have breakfast tomorrow."
"There's a lot in there. There's enough for you now and some for your mother to eat tomorrow!" Qin Sheng persuaded.
"I have no appetite," Chu Xia whispered.
Qin Sheng's eyes narrowed. "Are you hiding something from me? Tell me!"
"No, no. Why would I hide anything from you? I'll eat it now." Chu Xia forced another smile. She didn't want Qin Sheng to be annoyed with her, so she took out items from the lunchbox and ate breakfast.
When the smell of meat rushed out, she instantly covered her mouth with her hand and retched.
Qin Sheng looked at Chu Xia, who was about to throw up. She was surprised. Meat rolls were Chu Xia's favorite food. A thought flashed through her mind. "Chu Xia, are you on your period?"
Chu Xia was stumped by Qin Sheng's question. She thought about it seriously and her face turned pale. "No, I'm not. I'm a few days late."
"F*ck, are you pregnant? Didn't you take your medicine?" Qin Sheng asked.
