The year Shi Ke and Xiang Yang got married was just a point in time. Chang Yuan used it as a time frame merely because he wanted to give a deeper impression of the time period, but Shi Nian's heart skipped a beat at the expression for some reason.
He couldn't help but think of Xiang Yang's ordeal. 'If those people had kidnapped Xiang Yang for money, then why did we never receive a call from the kidnappers?'
'If they kidnapped Xiang Yang in retaliation to my brother, then why did none of Shi Ke's enemies come forward and own up to the matter? Logically speaking, if Shi Ke's enemies were behind the kidnapping, as Xiang Yang's consciousness hadn't woken up yet, it would be impossible for them not to use this matter to provoke Shi Ke.'
A thought briefly formed in Shi Nian's mind, but it was too vague; he didn't manage to grasp it for the moment.
