After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

Clearly, he had anticipated her questioning and attitude, and was not surprised.

He gathered his thoughts briefly, then spoke slowly in an even colder tone: "My mother seems to be getting quite close to you lately? As far as I know, your relationship seems pretty good? Can you tell me what exactly happened between you? What did she do to you? Or... what did she say?"

"Shouldn't you ask my mom about this?"

Shen Xuan retorted, trying to hide her inner unease.

Although her voice remained steady, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, making her appear somewhat evasive.

Lu Shuli did not answer directly, but instead looked up and quickly glanced at her through the rearview mirror inside the car.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade, as if it could see right through her soul.

"I heard your sister mention that you're not actually a member of the Shen family, right? Strictly speaking, you don't have the surname Shen, and you're not their biological child. How can this be? Haven't you ever had any doubts about it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Her lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and her voice was much lower than before.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this? You should know who's involved in all of this. Besides, you've been following Gao Wei for so long, and he even came to me personally to ask about this last time. If he knew the truth back then, how could you not know? How could you be pretending to know nothing now?"

Lu Shuli's expression suddenly became unpredictable.

As she finished speaking, images of Gao Wei's strange behavior flashed through his mind.

Those vague behavioral clues suddenly came together, gradually becoming clear as if the fog had lifted.

He then realized the crux of the problem and couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

It turns out, there's an even bigger secret hidden here!

He still remembered the document Gao Wei had taken from the hospital last time; the document showed that he and Shen Xuan seemed to have been born in the same hospital.

Same hospital, same date—what does this all mean?

His mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts, but he couldn't quite put them into words.

Moreover, his life had been completely changed ever since he was ruthlessly kicked out of the Lu family by that old woman Chen Xiuwen when he was ten years old.

From then on, he could only be fostered by the Gao family, where he spent many years.

Because of this experience, his relationship with Kim Suk-young became extremely distant, to the point that even the superficial affection between them could not be maintained...

She is so indifferent to her own son, not even offering a word of concern, and can even be said to dislike him completely. How could she suddenly develop any goodwill towards Shen Xuan, whom she hates to the core?

All of this sounds so outrageous, it's utterly absurd.

However, what bothered him even more was that the two of them were born in the same hospital!

This makes one wonder: is it just a coincidence, or is there some unknown secret hidden behind it?

Not long after, the car slowly came to a stop, eventually coming to a steady halt on a street in Jiangcheng.

The surrounding scenery was still familiar, and a familiar atmosphere permeated the air.

Lu Shuli frowned and brought the car to a steady stop. Although her movements were skillful, they revealed a hint of frustration.

Meanwhile, Shen Xuan, sitting in the back seat, had already noticed some unusual situations ahead through the rearview mirror.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if some danger was quietly approaching.

Given how much attention Li Siyuan pays to her, he would know the details immediately if she made even the slightest move, no matter how insignificant.

Moreover, this time she disappeared from Jiangcheng for an entire afternoon, which would undoubtedly provoke a strong reaction from him.

"You can get off the bus now."

Lu Shuli's voice was low and cold, like a stone thrown into water, instantly breaking the brief silence.

After he finished speaking, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his gaze did not look at Shen Xuan. Instead, he revealed a complex emotion, as if he were tired, or as if he were resolute.

Shen Xuan quickly glanced at Lu Shuli's expression through the mirror, and a complex emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.

It was an indescribable emotion, a mixture of long-suppressed anger and unconcealable fear.

She understood that once Li Siyuan saw Lu Shuli bring her back, he would be furious, as this situation was entirely in line with his personality.

Li Siyuan and his mother had been trying to kill her for a long time. This was not the first or second time they had threatened her. Their ruthlessness was already etched into her memory.

"Good luck."

Shen Xuan said softly, then pushed open the car door without hesitation, stepping out of the car with swift and decisive movements.

At that moment, she was filled with mixed feelings, but she forced herself to remain calm.

Lu Shuli kept her eyes fixed on the edge of the car not far ahead, her gaze locked on the figure leaning against it. It was an exceptionally cold figure, exuding hostility and oppression at first glance.

Lu Shuli gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force. A bold and crazy idea involuntarily popped into her mind: could she just step on the gas and drive the car forward to crash into something?

The thought flashed through his mind but wouldn't go away, making him even more tense and conflicted.

Shen Xuan walked lightly but firmly towards the car.

Her figure was upright and elegant, and every movement carried an undeniable presence.

At that very moment, that straight back unexpectedly entered Lu Shuli's line of sight.

In that instant, something seemed to strike him from the depths of his heart, and his originally resolute plan began to waver.

He lowered his head in deep thought, his mind rapidly weighing the pros and cons.

If we eliminate Li Siyuan here, although it may seem like we are only targeting Li Siyuan, it would actually be tantamount to indirectly taking Shen Xuan's life.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Clearly, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Shen Xuan, he still couldn't bring himself to kill her.

The complex emotions made him hesitate, but time no longer allowed him to delay any longer.

Suddenly, he abruptly lifted his right foot and slammed on the gas pedal.

The engine roared suddenly, and his car began to reverse rapidly.

However, he soon discovered that the road behind him was completely blocked by two cars, leaving no room for escape.

Within seconds, Shen Xuan had quickly walked to Li Siyuan's side.

Only then did she realize what had just happened: Lu Shuli's strange behavior and the impending danger.

Her expression changed, and she immediately realized that the situation was more critical than she had imagined.
