Song Yansheng furrowed his brow for a moment, instantly understanding that with Nuannuan nearby, his mother was not convenient to say much.

So he said, "Mom, you should rest well, it’s probably still dark in the country. When it gets light and you feel better, I’ll call you again!"

Yu Yao responded, seemingly reassuring Song Yansheng for a few sentences, and only then did she hang up the phone.

Shi Nuan was also very concerned about Yu Yao and hurriedly asked Song Yansheng about her condition.

Song Yansheng said, "It’s nothing, mom just has a bit of low blood sugar and was frightened by a nightmare, that’s all, nothing serious!"

Shi Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good!"

Song Yansheng glanced at Shi Nuan and then asked, "Nuannuan seems to also often be scared by dreams, I wonder, back then, what did Nuannuan dream of?"

Shi Nuan was taken aback for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Nothing, just... just an ordinary nightmare!"

Song Yansheng chuckled lightly, saying, "Actually, for many years in the past, I also often had nightmares. I often dreamt of being trapped in a completely enclosed environment, shouting and yelling without anyone noticing me, and unable to get out..."

Shi Nuan looked at Song Yansheng in surprise.

Song Yansheng continued, "Later, Yu Zuo analyzed for me, saying that I had been suppressing my emotions for too long, unable to find a space to release. He said I need to liberate myself and not put too much pressure on myself. He said living like that would be exhausting..."

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, then she asked, "Then has Second Uncle... liberated himself now?"

Song Yansheng shook his head, "Not exactly, because I still haven’t gotten what I want most, and there are still many things left unfinished. The most troublesome thing is that I haven’t managed to make Nuannuan completely rely on me, have the determination to be with me for a lifetime, no matter what happens, without changing it..."

Shi Nuan lowered her gaze, momentarily unable to say anything. After a while, she said, "Everything has a process..."

Falling in love with someone might take only a moment, but the thing that makes this love last isn’t that fleeting heartbeat.

It’s understanding and comprehension.

Shi Nuan considered herself not yet capable of understanding and comprehending Song Yansheng, so regarding that commitment to a lifetime together, she didn’t dare to easily promise.

They soon arrived at their residence. Yao Ziwan hadn’t returned from the company yet, busy the whole day. Song Yansheng told Shi Nuan to rest while he needed to make a phone call.

The insights from Wall Street left Shi Nuan with mixed feelings. At this moment, she really needed a bath to relax herself.

Also, with the millions she made today thanks to Song Yansheng, deciding how to use them was another problem.

Shi Nuan went to take a bath, while Song Yansheng went to the study, picked up the phone, and dialed Gu Zheng back in the country.

Earlier, after leaving the stock exchange, Gu Zheng had called, but at that time Shi Nuan was present, and there were things Song Yansheng didn’t want to involve Shi Nuan in, so he didn’t answer.

The call connected quickly, and Gu Zheng said "Hello," to which Song Yansheng asked, "Did you find out?"

Gu Zheng responded, "Three days ago, Yan Ke indeed took a flight to America, and just this morning at eight o’clock American time, he boarded a return flight... which means he might already be back in the country!"

Gu Zheng added, "So now, can you tell me why you wanted me to investigate Yan Ke? I heard you’re in America now. Do you suspect that Yan Ke’s trip to America is related to A Qing being kidnapped by Zhong Jinnan?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Song Yansheng said, "It’s not suspicion, I think it’s very likely. But right now I have another matter to confirm. Once I confirm this point, I’ll probably know what exactly is going on!"

Gu Zheng paused slightly, then said, "Didn’t you go to America this time because your friend, President Wen, got injured? I asked my friends in America to look into it; it seems to be a shooting incident. Plus, the timing... how should I put it, quite close to when Yan Ke went to America..."

Gu Zheng asked, "A Yu, do you think President Wen’s gunshot wound was Yan Ke’s doing?"

Song Yansheng laughed, "Seems like you can’t wait to know my guess, huh..."

"It’s not that I can’t wait, but I feel I might also have a way to verify what you want to confirm, so now, I’m more interested in hearing your guess..."

What Gu Zheng does now mostly involves things not done in the open, and he knows all kinds of people.

Sometimes, even from within the country, he finds it easy to find out certain things.

Song Yansheng sighed, then said, "Alright, the first thing to tell you is that this time President Wen’s shooting was indeed Yan Ke’s doing, and... he even admitted it himself!"
