Sang Bo (Fu Yanchen) felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing Jiang Zeyu's words, but he knew that now was not the time to dwell on his feelings.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Jiang Zeyu, I understand your thoughts. My current identity may indeed pose a danger to her. But I assure you, I will do everything I can to change this. I have already begun to clean up the gang connections around me and have made some progress."

Jiang Zeyu frowned as he looked at him, seemingly trying to determine whether his words were true or false.

Sang Bo (Fu Yanchen) continued, "I know my previous actions may have caused you to misunderstand me, but I will prove my determination with my actions. I will keep Shen Mengxia and Xiaozhou away from all possible dangers so that they can live a peaceful life."

Jiang Zeyu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I hope you can keep your word. Shen Mengxia is a good woman. She has gone through too much suffering, and I don't want her to be hurt again."

Sang Bo (Fu Yanchen) felt a warmth in his heart and nodded, saying, "I will, I promise you. I will spend the rest of my life protecting them and ensuring they can live a happy life."

Looking into Sang Bo's (Fu Yanchen's) determined eyes, Jiang Zeyu's doubts gradually dissipated. He reached out and firmly grasped Sang Bo's (Fu Yanchen's) hand, saying, "Okay, I believe you. But I hope you can remember what you said today and not let her get hurt in any way."

Sang Bo (Fu Yanchen) held Jiang Zeyu's hand tightly, moved, and said, "Thank you for your trust. I will definitely not let you down."

Fu Yanchen sat in the dimly lit room, Jiang Zeyu's words echoing in his ears. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, Fu Yanchen took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Zeyu, and slowly spoke.

"Jiang Zeyu, I have something to tell you, a truth that may change our relationship." Fu Yanchen's voice was somewhat heavy.

Jiang Zeyu looked at him warily, but his eyes also held a hint of doubt and expectation: "What is it? You'd better not be playing some trick on me."

“I know you’ve always suspected me of having ulterior motives. Actually, the reason I’ve been getting closer to Shen Mengxia lately is because I have my own reasons.” Fu Yanchen’s eyes were filled with helplessness. “I am, in fact, Fu Yanchen.”

Jiang Zeyu was startled, his eyes widening: "What did you say? The gangster boss's son, Sang Bo, is Fu Yanchen? And you kept explaining before..."

“I explained before because I didn’t want you to look at Shen Mengxia differently, and I didn’t want to involve you in this matter. But now, I have to tell you the whole truth.”

Fu Yanchen stood up and paced back and forth in the room. "I don't want to be controlled by my gang boss anymore. He wants me to inherit the family's gang business, but I don't want to live that kind of life of fighting and killing."

Jiang Zeyu frowned: "I know you disdain gangsters, but your identity is like a time bomb. How can you get close to Shen Mengxia? Do you know what she's been through? All she wants is a peaceful life."

“Of course I know, that’s why I want to break free from his control and start over. I’m being honest with you today because I’ve figured out a way, but I need your help in this process.” Fu Yanchen looked at Jiang Zeyu with sincerity in his eyes.

"How can I help you? And how can I believe that what you're saying isn't just to deceive Shen Mengxia?" Jiang Zeyu crossed his arms.
