Zhang Shuying is being held by Zhang Zidao, who insists on talking to him. Zhang Che and the narrator leave, discussing the failed attempt to remove a gu poison from Zhang Zidao and the implication that the attacker may be using Su Chongwen's body. Zhang Che confronts the narrator about their feelings towards Su Chongwen, who plans to take the narrator and their mother in three days. The narrator's mother arrives, and they all go inside to eat.

This conversation feels a bit awkward.

But it’s straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

At least, for me, it’s the way I think lovers should talk.

"Why can’t you let go?" My mom turned back, looking at Zhang Che in shock.

Zhang Che’s thin lips were tightly pressed.

After a moment, my mom came to her senses, "Except for being grateful to him for giving Wanwan life, there’s no sentiment left between Su Chongwen and me."

"Yes, I should be grateful too, without him Wanwan wouldn’t exist." Zhang Che said sincerely.

Beside them, I burped.

A sense of feeling full, like I could skip three meals and not feel hungry.

"Something’s happened, I might not be able to have dinner." Just then, I received a reply from Yu Rongling, and my heart immediately flew to Spring Wind Town.

I called Yu Rongling back, "What do you mean your brother is missing?"

"Sis, don’t worry, he might have just gone out for a walk." Yu Rongling explained, "He’s just not in the room, the Little Dumpling and the two kids from the Chen family are healthy, everything is normal."

"Are you joking? Your brother will be blind for three days, and in such pain he won’t be able to move, and you’re telling me he’s out for a walk??" I lost control of my emotions and yelled at Yu Rongling, not even bothering to explain things to my mom and Zhang Che before rushing back.

Yu Rongling finally became anxious and said, "Sis, I’ll go search immediately, I’ll definitely find him."

"Watch Dumpling, don’t let him be alone." I had a bad feeling in my heart.

When I stopped in Spring Wind Town, I realized someone had been following me all along.

In the glow of the sunset, his eyes were deep like a well, "I’ll go with you."

"Thank you, Uncle Che." My chaotic heart finally found a thread of peace as I stepped into the small building.

Inside was eerily quiet, with ice crystals sealing everything.

In the corner, four people were huddled and shivering, Chen Decheng and his wife holding their twin babies.

The building was filled with Kunlun Mysterious Ice, yet the people inside were unharmed.

So these...

Were marks left from a fight Shenshen had.

"What happened?" Zhang Che asked Chen Decheng and his wife.

The couple looked at me instead.

Before I could introduce, Zhang Che added, "I’m Su Wan’s father."

At this moment, my heart felt as if bitten by a tiny worm.

The couple immediately understood and recounted what happened.

Yu Rongling received my call and left to find Yu Longting, while Dumpling was with Shenshen.

Then a man in a black robe came in carrying a silver cage.

The snake in the man’s cage was a green snake; he entered and attacked Chen Decheng’s twin children.

Dumpling and Shenshen each protected Chen Decheng’s wife and the twins.

But the black-robed man actually diverted the tiger away from the mountain, abducting Dumpling.

Seeing Dumpling and Little Green Snake Yu Rongling captured, Shenshen’s eyes turned red, switching to Ice Silkworm mode and attacking the black-robed man with Mysterious Ice.

Surprisingly, the black-robed man wasn’t afraid of Mysterious Ice; although hit, he quickly melted the ice and escaped with Dumpling and Yu Rongling.

Shenshen chased after the black-robed man...

"Still a step too late." Zhang Che frowned.

I fell into a chair, dazed, "He’s preparing for three days later, when Master won’t be around, and he still has hostages."

"Wanwan, at this point, you must tell me the truth." Zhang Che kneeled before me, deeply asking, "What exactly does Su Chongwen need you to do? He has already taken over the entire Arbitration Council, ruling supreme, why does he still want..."

Because a tear fell from the corner of my eye, Zhang Che’s words came to a halt.

"I don’t know, just now in the prison, I should’ve gone with him. No matter what his goal is, it’s only aimed at me, it won’t involve others..."

I’m very worried about Dumpling and Rongling, but most of all, I fear for the blind Yu Longting, who can’t see a thing and is still captured by such a powerful figure...
