The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Xu Linfeng sat motionless on the opposite sofa, like a meticulously sculpted sculpture. He listened intently to the back-and-forth conversation between the two people in front of him. At first, a look of bewilderment and helplessness appeared on his face, as if he knew nothing about the topic being discussed. He frowned slightly, his eyes lost and vacant, as if he were lost in a foggy forest, unable to find his way forward.

However, as time quietly passed, and their conversation deepened, touching upon the core of the issue, suddenly, like a dazzling bolt of lightning tearing through the inky black night sky, it swept across the heavens with overwhelming force. This lightning bolt acted like a magical key, instantly unlocking the previously chaotic and foggy doors of Xu Linfeng's thoughts. His eyes brightened instantly, his previously dull pupils now gleaming with wisdom. His previous confusion vanished without a trace, replaced by a clarity and sudden enlightenment.

In an instant, inspiration surged forth like a tidal wave, and Xu Linfeng felt as if everything before him had suddenly become clear. He unconsciously slapped his forehead hard, making a crisp sound. At the same time, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, as if all the mysteries had been solved in that instant.

He opened his mouth slightly and muttered softly to himself, "Oh dear, so that's how it is! No wonder my brother suddenly called to ask about this the other day. When I received that call, I really racked my brains! It took a lot of effort to finally come up with an excuse that was at least somewhat plausible. So, I carefully answered his questions and managed to get through to him for the time being."

At this point, Xu Linfeng shook his head helplessly, then continued, "But later, the situation became increasingly difficult, and I simply couldn't continue to stall. Just when I felt I had no way out, I gritted my teeth, stomped my foot, and decided to let him investigate the truth himself. Originally, I had full confidence in him, firmly believing that with his extraordinary abilities, he would surely be able to uncover some clues and thus reveal the truth hidden behind this mysterious event. However, the final result was like a bolt from the blue, leaving me stunned and unable to recover for a long time."

He shook his head wearily and helplessly, and confessed to me in a heavy tone: "No matter how hard I try to investigate, I haven't been able to find even the slightest clue."

Looking back now, it suddenly dawned on me that it was actually Rong Shao, a hidden master, who orchestrated everything behind the scenes, erasing all traces we might have left behind, leaving even someone as powerful as him helpless. This situation was truly unexpected and completely beyond my imagination.

Just as Zhou Yanhuan was still reeling from the shock, Zhou Jiayue, who had been sitting silently to the side without uttering a word, suddenly spoke up timidly. Her voice, however, was very firm: "So... is everything you said true? Did you really let your own twin brother impersonate you for a full ten years? And now that you've reappeared, is it to fulfill the promise you made with my sister back then?"

Upon hearing this question, Rong Huaizhi's eyes, which were already slightly filled with guilt, instantly became even more sincere and profound.

He nodded slightly and answered slowly in a sincere and deeply affectionate tone, "Yes, that's true, just as you said. Over the years, it has always been me who has wronged Zhenzhen, making her suffer so much pain and hardship all by herself. Alas... Whenever I think of this, I am filled with remorse and heartache! If time could truly turn back, I would cherish her even more and never let her suffer even the slightest injustice again." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, a heavy sigh that seemed to carry endless self-blame and regret.

Sitting on the opposite sofa, Zhou Jiayue swallowed hard, inwardly sighing, "Wow, this plot is so melodramatic! It's absolutely astonishing and shocking! However, there's no denying that this amazing twist has undoubtedly injected a fresh and vibrant element into my writing material. Before this unexpected situation surfaced, probably no one could have predicted that things would develop in such a dramatic direction."

Just then, Rong Huaizhi, who had been gazing into the distance, seemed to suddenly realize something, and his head began to slowly turn. As his head moved, everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to it, eventually focusing on the face that was gradually revealing its full form.

When Rong Huaizhi turned around completely, everyone could clearly see the expression on his face—it was more serious and solemn than ever before. His deep, pool-like eyes were now like two sharp arrows, shooting straight at Zhou Yanhuan sitting next to him.

Zhou Yanhuan felt as if she had been instantly frozen in place by a powerful force, unable to move an inch. She could only stare blankly at Rong Huaizhi as he walked towards her step by step. With each step he took closer, the invisible pressure intensified.

Finally, Rong Huaizhi stopped just inches away from Zhou Yanhuan. He lowered his head slightly, looking down at the petite and delicate woman before him, and then slowly spoke in a deep yet authoritative, unquestionable yet gentle tone: "Zhenzhen, you don't need to explain anything to me about the child's parentage anymore. Because from now on, it's no longer important."

After saying that, he paused slightly, seemingly wanting to give Zhou Yanhuan some time to process the meaning of his words. Then, he continued, "From now on, you don't need to mention this to anyone else. Let everything remain as it is. The children are your own, that will never change, and there's no need for any further questioning or debate."

Rong Huaizhi's tone was firm and resolute, as if every word he spoke was carefully considered before uttering. He paused, then emphasized again, "You must understand that the essence of a secret is that very few people know the truth behind it. Since that's the case, if this secret can protect certain people, then we have a responsibility to protect it together. No matter how much effort and cost it requires, we must persevere to the end."

Finally, Rong Huaizhi looked at Zhou Yanhuan with a gaze that was almost gentle yet carried a hint of command, and asked softly, "Do you understand?"

Zhou Yanhuan sat quietly on the soft sofa like a sculpture. The whole world seemed to stand still at this moment. Only the words Rong Huai had spoken not long ago echoed in her ears like melodious bells.
