Su Ming instinctively covered the necklace but then let go. At this point, he had nothing left to hide.

“It was Li Lan’s keepsake. She always liked it,” he said, struggling to hold back tears. “Miss Song, I just want to keep it as a memento. It means nothing else.”

Seeing his expression, Song Fan couldn’t bear to say anything more and just nodded. Gu Chen helped her back to bed.

However, she clearly remembered that Xiao Xiao also had a necklace like Li Lan’s. The pendant’s unique pattern was unforgettable. She vaguely recalled a woman in her dreams with a similar necklace, but she hadn’t seen it clearly.

Watching Gu Chen and Su Ming discuss something, Song Fan made a mental note. It seemed some matters still needed Xiao Xiao to confirm. Though Xiao Xiao always refused to talk about the past, Song Fan had no other option now. Xiao Xiao was the only one who knew the truth.

The next day, Song Fan requested to be discharged. Despite Gu Chen’s strong objections, she insisted.

“If you don’t let me out, I’ll go find some Tango Fruit. I must get to the bottom of those two years.”

Things had developed beyond her expectations. If she didn’t clarify matters, they might be caught off guard again next time.

Hearing her mention Tango Fruit, Gu Chen had no choice but to relent. “Alright, you can be discharged and go back to school to find Xiao Xiao, but you must take Sun Gao with you.”

Although Gu Chen knew Song Fan could handle herself, he still worried. Only when Song Fan agreed did he handle the discharge procedures.

As soon as Sun Gao arrived at the hospital, Song Fan took him straight to the airport. She urgently needed to see Xiao Xiao. She had called Xiao Xiao multiple times, but the calls went unanswered, and the phone was off. Her anxiety grew.

Upon arriving at the school, she was informed that Xiao Xiao had withdrawn half a month ago.

The principal looked troubled. “You introduced her, so I took good care of her. But you know her health situation. She said her family wanted her to get treatment, and I couldn’t stop her.”

Xiao Xiao’s health had always been poor. Without Song Fan’s herbal treatments, she would have deteriorated long ago. But Xiao Xiao’s family struggled to make ends meet, let alone afford medical treatment.

Song Fan quickly asked, “Did Xiao Xiao mention which relative was taking her for treatment? Did she herself handle the withdrawal? Didn’t her grandfather come?”

The principal shook his head. “Xiao Xiao did it herself, but she didn’t say much else. Knowing how she and her grandfather depended on each other, I didn’t have the heart to trouble him.”

Realizing the principal had done his best, Song Fan left, knowing she couldn’t get more useful information.

She then took Sun Gao to Xiao Xiao’s noodle shop, only to find it had new owners.

A kind neighbor, seeing Song Fan, told her that Xiao Xiao and her grandfather had been taken by relatives who claimed they were going abroad for treatment. The neighbor kept saying how fortunate Xiao Xiao was, but Song Fan knew those who kidnapped Xiao Xiao were now watching her.

Song Fan contacted Lan Yue to check Xiao Xiao’s travel records and then circled the noodle shop area.

Sun Gao, puzzled, asked, “Miss Song, since she’s not here, shouldn’t we head back? Your body has just recovered.”

He remembered Gu Chen’s strict instructions to take good care of Song Fan and not let her overexert herself.

But Song Fan kept searching until she found something by the back door—a stone-like plastic box. When she picked it up, Sun Gao realized it was a disguised box, not a stone.

Song Fan opened the box’s bottom and found a necklace identical to Su Ming’s.

She quickly pocketed the necklace. “Let’s go.”

She didn’t know if they were being watched and decided to investigate further back home.

As soon as they got off the plane, Su Ming called—Gu Chen was having another poisoning attack.

“Miss Song, I’ve sealed off the information, but we can’t keep this hidden for long.” Su Ming’s urgent tone and hushed voice indicated he wasn’t in a safe place.

“I’m coming back. Don’t administer any drugs yet.” Song Fan hung up, feeling deeply anxious. It seemed a significant crisis was looming.
