Li Yanyan took a sip of water and started recounting her story. "The reason I had to disappear 17 years ago... When your uncle, Li Chen's father, died in that supposed car accident, Li Chen was only 2 months old. I had to keep him safe while hiding the fact that his mother had actually survived as well, even though everyone believed she perished too."
Zhu Fengrui interjected with shock "Wait...you mean she didn't die in the crash?"
Li Yanyan replied "No, I faked her death to keep her safe. I kept the truth hidden from everyone, even Li Chen grew up thinking both parents were dead. Things got dangerous, and I became the key target for the organization that wanted to capture Li Chen. I cared for him in secrecy until he was 7 years old..."
