He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Faced with her younger brother's question, Song Zhi pursed her lips tightly, unsure how to answer for a moment.

Song Jiachen's anxious yet slightly aggrieved voice came through the phone to Song Zhi's ears once again: "Sister, how could this be true? I am definitely Dad's biological son! Dad must have misunderstood something to say this!"

Song Jiachen spoke these words in a somewhat hurried tone.

Song Zhi felt a mix of emotions.

They had a good relationship since childhood. Even when Zhao Man favored her when they were young, Song Jiachen never got angry.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi's heart softened slightly. She sighed softly, then lowered her voice and gently comforted him, "Jiachen, no matter what happens, you will always be my good brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other end of the phone fell into a deathly silence.

Song Zhi felt a little uneasy. She tentatively lowered her voice and asked, "Jiachen? Are you still listening?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a busy tone came from the phone.

Song Jiachen hung up the phone without hesitation.

Song Zhi stared blankly at the screen of her phone, which had ended its call, her face full of helplessness and worry.

She sighed deeply.

If Song Jiachen really wasn't her biological brother, she didn't know how she would face him in the future.

She and Song Jiachen have always had a very good relationship since they were children.

Even though they are not related by blood, he is still his younger brother.

After all, Song Jiachen knew nothing about Zhao Man's affairs, so he was ultimately innocent.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi thought for a moment and sent a message to Song Jiachen.

Jia Chen, don't overthink it. You'll always be my little brother.

After the message was sent, Song Jiachen did not reply.

Just as Song Zhi was about to send another message, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

Song Zhi's attention instantly shifted from her phone to the door of the ward.

She didn't even have time to think about why Song Jiachen hadn't replied to her message yet, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Fu Lu, who had just walked out of the ward.

Upon arriving in front of Fu Lu, Song Zhi eagerly looked up and asked, "Ninth Brother, what exactly did my father say to you?"

As she spoke, her large, watery eyes were fixed on Fu Lu, her face full of eagerness and curiosity.

However, faced with Song Zhi's straightforward question, Fu Lu simply smiled slightly, then reached out his right hand to gently rub her head, and answered softly, "Nothing?"

Upon hearing this answer, Song Zhi's face immediately darkened, and she pouted, looking very unhappy.

She quickly raised her hand and forcefully slapped away Fu Lu's large hand that was on her head, complaining angrily, "Why are you all like this? Every time you hide something from me, you just say nothing's wrong!"

Seeing his child's angry expression, Fu Lu shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "Oh, don't be angry, it's really nothing."

However, Song Zhi clearly did not believe his explanation at this moment. She still frowned and retorted with a suspicious look, "Impossible. If there's really nothing to say, why can't you tell me? It's been like this before, and it's still like this now!"

After saying that, she angrily ignored Fu Lu.

Fu Lu gently shook his head, a helpless expression on his face. Then he took a deep breath, slowly leaned close to Song Zhi's ear, and whispered, "Let's go back first and I'll tell you in detail. Don't be angry."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's previously dull eyes instantly lit up.

She said with a big smile, "Then let's hurry back."

Fu Lu smiled and reminded him, "Aren't you going to say hello to your father?"

Song Zhi playfully stuck out her tongue and gave a sly smile, replying, "Hehehe, I got so excited I forgot. Wait a moment, I'll go in and tell my dad right away."

After saying that, she walked past Fu Lu into the ward.

Fu Lu stood quietly in place, his gaze involuntarily falling on the ward. His mind began to replay the words Song Jinguo had said before, and his expression gradually became serious. The next second, Fu Lu took out his phone from his pocket, his slender fingers skillfully swiping across the screen, and quickly dialed a number that he already knew by heart.

After two clear rings, the phone was quickly answered.

Fu Lu remained expressionless, his eyes as cold as ice, and spoke into the phone in a deep and steady voice: "Investigate something for me."

It was unclear what was being said on the other end of the phone. After a slight pause, Fu Lu added, "It was about the serious car accident that happened on the Harbour Bridge six years ago."

He paused, then emphasized, "You must find out the results for me as soon as possible."

Finally, seemingly to further confirm the accuracy of the information, Fu Lu added, "That's right, it's about the incident in Song Jin State."

Song Zhi slowly walked out of the room, and just then, she happened to hear the last words Fu Lu said after ending the call.

After Fu Lu hung up the phone, Song Zhi, full of curiosity, leaned forward and asked, "What happened on that phone call? I heard you mention my dad?"

With a smile on his face, Fu Lu naturally reached out and took Song Zhi's slender and delicate hand, responding in an extremely gentle voice, "It's nothing serious, just asking someone to help investigate a little situation."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's face showed a hint of doubt, and she pressed for an answer: "About my father?"

Fu Lu nodded slightly and spoke truthfully: "It's about some details of your father's car accident back then."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was slightly taken aback, a sense of surprise welling up in her heart: "Do you also believe that the car accident back then was not a simple accident?"

Fu Lu quietly looked at Song Zhi, whose cheeks were slightly flushed from her emotional outburst. He couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her pink and lovely cheeks. A doting smile appeared on his lips as he comforted her, saying, "Whether it was an accident or not, the truth will come out after a thorough investigation."

Song Zhi nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, quickly asked, "So, did my dad also tell you about the car accident?"

Fu Lu nodded without hesitation and admitted, "Yes, that's just one aspect."

Song Zhi frowned slightly, and impatiently continued to ask, "Did you talk about anything else important?"

Fu Lu was silent for a moment, then looked at Song Zhi with a frank gaze and answered truthfully, "Let me investigate your mother to prevent her from secretly transferring the family's assets."

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment. Before she could speak, Fu Lu spoke again: "Zhi Zhi, your father really loves you very much."

Upon hearing those words, Song Zhi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Fu Lu keenly noticed the change in her emotions, and his heart tightened, causing him to panic.

He said in a flustered manner, "Why are you crying again? You little crybaby, why can you cry so much?"
