Gu Xinzhou wanted to resist.
Yet her body inexplicably stiffened, as if someone had hit her pressure point, leaving her frozen in place.
Song Zhen's body heat was scorching, even hotter than her cheeks.
He was like a warm spring, gently nourishing and warming her.
And this sensation was precisely what Gu Xinzhou's soul deeply lacked.
Gu Xinzhou was annoyed with herself for not being strong enough.
How could she not push him away?
At the same time, she quietly told herself, "Just for a little while, holding each other for a moment, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Song Zhen was very quiet.
His head rested on her shoulder.
If Gu Xinzhou had a mirror in front of her, she would see him with a slight smile, eyes closed, looking content and peaceful.
He didn't want to disturb the moment.
He was enjoying it.
No matter when or where, having her in his arms was fulfillment.
Time flowed like a gentle stream, cleansing the spirit, illuminating the soul.
Neither Gu Xinzhou nor Song Zhen moved.
Their shadows were cast on the floor, painting a sweet picture.
The phone rang.
Gu Xinzhou's body jolted as if regaining strength, quickly breaking free from Song Zhen's embrace.
She ran several meters away, her eyes somewhat frantic as she said, "I... I'm going to the restroom, you answer the phone!"
Song Zhen, watching her flee, felt a surge of pleasure.
But when he pulled out his phone, his expression showed disgust.
"Speak! What is it?" he asked.
"Boss, we haven't found anything special about Zhuang Xiuya."
"If you haven't found anything, keep looking! Why are you calling me if you haven't found anything!"
"Boss, the issue is, we haven't found any anomalies with Zhuang Xiuya, nor have we found any death records for Fang Lingwei."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhen's glance involuntarily shifted towards Gu Xinzhou's room.
He hurried upstairs.
As he walked, he said, "What exactly is the situation?"
The other person replied, "Boss, the Fang Family had fallen back in the day. Fang Jingting, along with his wife Lan Baozhen and daughter Fang Lingwei, moved back to Wan'an Town to settle, and their residence registration was transferred there too.
Theoretically, Fang Lingwei died from massive bleeding due to an unsuccessful emergency treatment during Miss Gu's birth.
According to the legal procedures asked, after a person dies, the hospital must issue a death certificate, which the relatives then take to the local police station of the registry to report, and with these two documents, they go through procedures like cremation and grave purchase.
However, we haven't found any hospital that issued a death certificate for Fang Lingwei.
We even discovered that Fang Lingwei's registry is still in Wan'an Town!
Only her residence book is separate, distinct from Fang Jingting and his wife's.
We found all of Fang Jingting's death certificate, cremation certificate, and grave.
His registry was also cancelled by the local police station."
Song Zhen had returned to his room.
He turned on the TV, brought up the surveillance, and watched Gu Xinzhou's every move in her room.
He was worried that Gu Xinzhou might come up to find him at this time.
But he realized, he was overthinking.
Because Gu Xinzhou was casually lying on the bed, playing with her phone, showing no intention of looking for him.
A sense of loss swept over Song Zhen, his eyebrows furrowed, "You mean, a person who should have been dead for over twenty years, has no death certificate and no cancellation of registry?"
The other person responded, "Yes."
Song Zhen pondered for a long while, his dark eyes flashing a hint of ominous light, "Keep following up on Zhuang Xiuya's matter, but from now on, we must also fully track Lan Baozhen!"
