Xi Zhihe pushed open the door and entered the private room.

There were three people in the private room. She knew two of them. She had heard that Yu Suili had someone he liked, so this must be the one.

The boy just sat there, relaxed and at ease, his whole demeanor captivating.

His face was so striking, his eyes were particularly perceptive, and even a glance from him could make one's heart flutter. With his long legs tucked into the sofa, he looked like a natural work of art when he was still.

Cui Mujun stared blankly at Xi Zhihe as she entered the private room, recalling her "heroic feat".

During the Spring Festival, Xi Zhihe took advantage of her childhood friendship to visit the Gu family ostensibly, but actually caused a huge scene.

There were many people present at the time, so it couldn't be kept secret. After the news spread, it became a laughing stock in the industry.

The business marriage between the Gu and Bai families has been brought up again, with everyone lamenting how pitiful Gu Hanyou is, having such a crazy suitor.

Xi Zhihe looked speechless: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chu Zhuo also stared at her.

Xi Zhihe was stared at by Chu Zhuo's gaze and blurted out, "I think... I know you."

Cui Mujun was truly exasperated and deliberately tried to disgust her: "Come on, this is Sui-ge's first time bringing a boyfriend, this isn't your Hanyou-ge."

The name "Brother Hanyou" seemed like a shackle, or perhaps a curse. Xi Zhihe's pupils glazed over for a few seconds, her usually calm features suddenly contorting, and she stood up angrily: "What do you know! Brother Hanyou was just temporarily blinded..."

Chu Zhuo went to Xi Zhihe's side, pressed down on her shoulders, and gently pulled her out of the fog in her voice: "Xi Zhihe, you're the one who's been blinded. Open your eyes and look. You may have loved him before, but with your personality, you can let go easily, right?"

The boy's voice was deep and clear, like a crisp bell, its sound penetrating, making her unable to resist exploring the meaning behind his words.

"..." After a few seconds, Xi Zhihe's emotions cooled, and the stinging pain jolted her awake. She nodded mechanically and muttered to herself, "Yes, that's right. There are plenty of men in the world, and I'm not bad looking or anything. What's so good about loving a married man?"

Chu Zhuo's voice was soothing: "Yes, that's right, Xi Zhihe. Go back and get some sleep tonight, you'll feel better."

Cui Mujun witnessed this scene in astonishment.

Xi Zhihe's obsession with Gu Hanyou was almost beyond redemption, but unexpectedly, Chu Zhuo's words brought her to her senses.

After the initial surprise, Cui Mujun had a feeling that he had expected this.

I knew it; the Xi Zhihe he knew wasn't the type to relentlessly pursue a married man...

As for whether it's hypnosis or brainwashing, once the root of the problem is identified, why worry about not finding a solution?

As for Xi Zhihe herself, she was no less shocked than anyone else.

She had regained a faint sliver of clarity, her senses progressing layer by layer, plunging her into an abyss. She watched helplessly as she was controlled by a powerful force within herself…

But the very next second, Xi Zhihe felt an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility, and she longed to take a nap.

The last look Chu Zhuo gave her seemed to be telling her that tomorrow would be a brand new beginning.

As Xi Zhihe drifted into a daze, Chu Zhuo instructed, "Once Xi Zhihe has regained consciousness tomorrow, try not to see Gu Hanyou for the time being."

Cui Mujun punched his shoulder, his expression filled with righteous indignation: "This little girl finally woke up, I'll pin her down and kill her. Gu Hanyou can go cool off somewhere else and die, she's like a menace."

With Xi Zhihe's matter temporarily resolved, the two went up to the sixth floor. Yu Suili closed the door and asked, "Zhuobao, what's the situation with Xi Zhihe? Is she being controlled by someone?"

Yu Suili was not surprised by Chu Zhuo's ability to bring Xi Zhihe back to her senses; since the other party's soul had left her body, perhaps he had a way to deal with these things.

When Chu Zhuo first woke up in the hospital, the energy he sensed still pointed towards the male and female protagonists, but the result was the same as before: the information he found was always limited.

"Yu Suili, is everyone agreeing with your previous assessment of Bai Ning?" Chu Zhuo asked him.

"No, in their eyes, Bai Ning is an ambitious, strong-willed, and determined career woman. She's capable and has a good character, but in reality, she's only half there, far from the high praise she receives from outsiders." Yu Suili explained in detail, "Before this, I always thought that those people secretly admired her and had a biased view of her, making exaggerated judgments without thinking. But now, listening to Zhuo Bao, it seems she's the one with the problem?"

Chu Zhuo snapped her fingers: "That's right. Even though Xi Zhihe acted crazy and Bai Ning seemed to be affected, suffering an undeserved disaster, her relationship with Gu Hanyou steadily improved after each incident. In comparison..."

"Xi Zhihe is like a tool used to build up their relationship." Based on Xi Zhihe's behavior today, Yu Suili continued his words.

"Yes." Chu Zhuo nodded firmly. "Yu Suili, Bai Ning has a serious problem."

Yu Suili was worried and puzzled, not wanting him to get involved: "Wasn't Xi Zhihe's matter resolved? How she and Bai Ning handle things afterward is their own business. Zhuobao, don't worry too much. The Xi family isn't someone to be trifled with."

"It has nothing to do with Xi Zhihe, Yu Suili. This is something I have to do." Chu Zhuo smoothed his furrowed brow. "Before you met me, had you ever seen a soul leave its body?"

Yu Suili doesn't like managing the company, but he has been strictly trained as a standard successor since childhood.

The deeper meaning behind this sentence...

His eyes darkened instantly, turning cold and icy: "Is Zhuobao's soul leaving her body also related to her?"

The tone was questioning, but the ruthlessness between his teeth was very clear.

Chu Zhu hummed in agreement.

According to the information currently available, Bai Ning is not a direct descendant of the main family; she was adopted from a collateral branch.

Aunt Bai has no children... no, it should be said that Aunt Bai has no offspring. Her first child disappeared, and a few years later she became pregnant again, but miscarried as soon as the embryo was formed.

About two or three years ago, Bai Ning came into Aunt Bai's sight.

The two hit it off immediately, and Aunt Bai took Bai Ning in as her adopted daughter, treating her like her own child.

At first, no one was optimistic about her, but Aunt Bai used the resources of the Bai family to help her, making her career progress smoothly. Gradually, people stopped looking down on this adopted daughter from a collateral branch.

Aunt Bai was Yu Suili's mother's best friend. Yu Suili's mother gradually lost contact with Aunt Bai, which was the year Bai Ning was recognized as her adopted daughter.

When all the coincidences pave the way for one person, allowing half of their strength to exert tenfold effect, Xi Zhihe's abnormal state as an important female supporting character in the timeline, and the obstruction of her investigation...

The initial strokes revealed a clear line, pointing directly to the Way of Heaven.

001 exclaimed in astonishment: "The Heavenly Dao of this world has actually become deceptive; the worldline we obtained has been deliberately manipulated and embellished."
