Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian realized the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but take it seriously.

"So what do you suspect?"

Song Shuyi seemed a little conflicted. "I'm not quite sure either... After I met with his sister last time, I sent people to check He Jin's whereabouts, but the people I sent out all told me that they couldn't find a single clue about him."

"Unless a person deliberately conceals their whereabouts, it is impossible for them to remain completely untraceable in this world."

"Yes, the more difficult it is to find out, the stranger it is."

"..."

"I'm wondering if the money he extorted from my brother back then, the so-called breakup fee, was something he was forced to do? Was he kidnapped and trying to get that money to survive?"

Si Nian didn't know much about the relationship between Song Shuyi and He Jin.

She was abroad at the time, and Song Shuyi only told her one day that she was in a relationship.

Not long after, Song Zeming discovered that Song Shuyi was in a relationship, but he disapproved of their relationship.

At that time, Song Shuyi was still asking Si Nian how to get his brother to agree.

Later, Song Shuyi made a big fuss and finally managed to get her brother to give in.

However, Song Zeming had one condition: He Jin needed to study abroad to enhance his resume and then follow the path he had arranged.

He will be given a sum of start-up capital after returning to China, and he needs to achieve impressive results within five years to prove himself to the Song family.

Song Shuyi was very excited at the time. He Jin came from a poor family, and if he could get Song Mingze's help, he would definitely avoid a lot of detours.

She even planned out where she and He Jin would start earning their first pot of gold after He Jin returned to China.

What she couldn't understand was that after He Jin agreed to go abroad, he gradually reduced his contact with her and became much colder towards her.

Not long after, he took the initiative to break up with Song Shuyi and demanded a huge breakup fee from her brother.

Song Shuyi was furious and wanted to question He Jin about what he was trying to do.

Why do this?

But she couldn't be contacted.

Because He Jin blocked her on all platforms.

This also caused Song Shuyi to be very depressed during that period, and she completely lost her desire for love.

Now, Song Shuyi tells Si Nian that she suspects He Jin has passed away.

Song Shuyi sighed, "The people I sent out were all investigating his whereabouts within the country, mainly checking if anyone in his hometown had contacted him. But they found nothing. However, if we really traced him abroad, I don't have the ability to find anyone related to He Jin."

"Niannian, do you think I should ask my brother for help?"

Si Nian paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to ask him?"

"Let's see if he knows He Jin's whereabouts and whether he can send someone to look for him."

Song Shuyi sighed: "But when He Jin asked my brother for a breakup fee, my brother got very angry. He hated He Jin to death. Even if he really died, my brother would probably just applaud and not help investigate the cause of death."

"It's really hard to say whether he's really dead or not. Just because he's not contacting his family doesn't necessarily mean he's gone. Maybe there are other reasons," Si Nian reassured the anxious Song Shuyi.

Song Shuyi's expression darkened. "Actually, I'm quite conflicted. On one hand, I hope that he had a real reason for breaking up with me so abruptly back then, but on the other hand, I hope he's still alive."

Si Nian and Song Shuyi talked for a long time. Then Song Shuyi turned to her and asked, "By the way, what's the deal between you and that man who came to your house last time?"

Si Nian tightened her grip and said to her, "Do you remember, I said my first love wasn't Lin Tinghan?"

"Hmm, you said your first love was when you were studying abroad." Song Shuyi paused for a moment, then asked, "It wouldn't be that guy, would it?"

"Yes, it's him."

"So what's your situation? Are you still entangled, but have you gotten back together?"

Si Nian lowered her eyes. "It's hard to say right now. Let's take it one step at a time."

"I have a feeling this guy isn't honest. The woman he was shopping with definitely has a special relationship with him. The way she's looking at him is practically drooling."

Si Nian chuckled, "With that face of his, what kind of honest person could he be?"

"That's true, all the handsome men in the world who are devoted and faithful to each other have long since died out."

"Right now, it's a mutually beneficial relationship between us. If he can provide what I want, I'll give him what he wants. If he can't, then we'll part ways."

As Song Shuyi pondered Si Nian's words, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Si Nian got up to look and saw Lin Tinghan's face through the monitor.
