As soon as Qiao Nian left, Anna’s face immediately showed a malicious expression. She turned her head to look at Qiao Nian’s retreating back, and muttered to herself in a hateful voice, “Qiao Nian…” 

At this time, Qin Yang was also gradually waking up. 

“Yingzhao God, are you awake?” Anna gathered her thoughts and whispered into Qin Yang’s ear. 

“Vermillion Bird…” Qin Yang closed his eyes and muttered unconsciously, “Don’t go!” 

“I’m here, I’m Anna, your Vermilion Bird. Anna is the Vermilion Bird; the Vermilion Bird is Anna…” Anna said softly in a tone that was similar to chanting. The room was gradually filled with the fragrance of Nightshade. 

The house was not bought, and Claud and Qiao Mo were still in the Purple Jade Villa. After Qiao Mo greeted Qin Yang’s secretary, she returned to Purple Jade Villa alone. 

“Mommy! Mommy!” The two children ran forward at the same time, rushing to tell her about the interesting things that happened when she was not around. 

“Good angels, have you eaten well?” Qiao Nian took out the gifts that she had bought for the two children on the way and divided them up for them. The two children happily took the gifts and ran to the side to see what they were. 

“Yes, yes!” Uncle Liu came forward with a smile. With the company of Qiao Mo, Qin Geng’s appetite was much better. He ate an entire crab cake for lunch and even ate two dumplings! 

Uncle Liu had already heard from Qin Yang’s secretary that Qiao Nian did not manage to buy a house. For his own selfish reasons, he actually hoped that Qiao Nian would not buy a house. It would be best if she stayed in the Purple Jade Villa for a long time. The two children hit it off. Qiao Mo staying here would be very beneficial to Qin Geng’s physical recovery. 

“Miss Qiao, you haven’t eaten yet, right? The nanny has already prepared your dinner.” 

“We’ll try to move out tomorrow.” Qiao Nian was a little embarrassed. She had always disliked causing trouble for others. Of course, she also did not like others to cause trouble for herself. 

“I ate a little outside. Did the secretary tell you? Qin Yang fainted in the afternoon and is now in the hospital.” 

“Oh.” Uncle Liu looked like he didn’t want to talk much. It seemed like he knew about Qin Yang’s situation. Qiao Nian was as polite as she should be, so she naturally didn’t want to continue probing into other people’s privacy. 

“Qiao!” Claud rushed over. His mouth was full of food, and he couldn’t even speak clearly. 

“When you have time, reply to my messages. Xuan Turtle and the others are always bothering me when they can’t find you. I don’t have time! I still have to have dessert!” After saying that, he ran away. 

Qiao Nian returned to the guest room and turned on her computer. A bunch of private messages almost filled her screen to the brim. One of the accounts called Xuan Turtle was the most active, and he sent Qiao Nian a lot of messages! 

“Vermillion Bird! You’re awesome! The stock you let me buy has been trading upwards for three days straight! I’m rich!” 

He sent her a bunch of emojis. 

Qiao Nian could not help but laugh. She studied the online map and sent a message to Xuan Turtle. “Tell everyone to sell their stocks tomorrow!” 

“What? I want to earn for a few more days!” The mysterious man replied instantly. 

“If you want to sell the stocks you bought, then I won’t object,” Qiao Nian replied. 

“That can’t be, that can’t be. I’ll hurry up and inform everyone. You are a financial genius, you’ve never missed out on anything,” Xuan Turtle replied instantly, after a while, he said, “Vermillion Bird, have you planned to come to China recently? I’ve recently made a new discovery.” 

“What discovery?” Qiao Nian did not answer Xuan Turtle’s question. The news of her being in China was only known to Claud, who was also codenamed Qiong Qi in the group. 

In fact, only Claud knew her real identity in the group. No, there was another person in the group who knew her identity, but that person had not been heard from for a long time… 

“The Qin Xiao that you looked for me to investigate six years ago, he is not a good man!” 

“I know…” Qiao Nian slowly typed these words. When she was schemed against by Qin Xiao five years ago, she had started to doubt Qin Xiao’s true identity. 

The first time Qin Xiao appeared in her life; it was by the name of Yingzhao God. He claimed to be Yingzhao God, an online friend of hers. Much of the information he said could also be verified. 

Qin Xiao said that he had been in a car accident, causing damage to his temporal lobe. He had forgotten many of the information, including the account he had logged into. 

At that time, Yingzhao God had gone missing for more than a month. Qiao Nian had been worried and confused, so she had not carefully considered the true meaning of Qin Xiao’s words. That was how she had fallen into Qin Xiao and Qiao Shi’s simple trap step by step. She had almost lost her life at St. Mary’s Hospital! 

Actually, with her intelligence and wisdom, she knew that Qin Xiao was full of lies after thinking about it. He could not be Yingzhao God! 

The past was unbearable to look back on. 

“I knew it! You know everything! You even know our hacking skills! Alright, alright, let’s get down to business. Do you remember the utopia that we discussed in the group back then?”
