Ling Han's voice had already diverted Ye Huanyan's attention to the castle, but his words refocused her attention.
"You found Xiao Rou?"
Ling Han's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. There was no emotion in his voice, as if he was just acting as a messenger, telling her all the clues he knew. "According to the surveillance camera at the entrance of the hotel, she took the hotel's night shuttle bus in the direction of the polar glacier. It's too late now, so stay where you are and don't move. I'll pick you up and take you to the glacier."
Ye Huanyan immediately refused. "No, you can go directly to the glacier. I'm not far from there, so I'll take a taxi there."
After that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Ling Han's response. She waved for a taxi by the roadside and switched to Chen Yin's line. "Xiao Wu, there's no need to go to the castle. Go directly to the hotel and inform Su Nianhua to carry out the plan ahead of time. Ask him to take the child and meet me at the polar glacier."
On the other end of the phone, Chen Yin scratched her head blankly. "Huh?"
At the entrance of the hotel, Ling Han frowned as he stared at the phone that was hung up. He felt inexplicably angry.
How bold was this woman? She was in a foreign country and she was taking a taxi in the middle of the night. Wasn't she afraid at all?
At the polar glacier, night fell, and the sky was filled with stars. The temperature at the edge of the glacier was more than ten degrees below zero, which was unbearable. After midnight, the tourists started to disperse, leaving behind only the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Ye Huanyan got out of the car and went straight to the spot where she had taken photos with Zeng Rou. She should have thought of this place earlier, but fortunately, Ling Han had reminded her.
Under the starry sky, an orange-yellow figure was shivering in the cold wind. A choked voice came from the fog, and it seemed to be in great pain.
"Xiao Rou," Ye Huanyan shouted anxiously. "Is that you, Xiao Rou?"
The figure shrank back and sobbed, "Don't come over."
Ye Huanyan quickly followed up, "I'm not going over. We'll just stand here. You don't have to move. Can you say a few words?"
"What are you doing here?" Zeng Rou's voice was choked with sobs. She clearly wanted to blame her, but she did not have much of an imposing manner. "You've known my husband for a long time, and you also know who I am. Why did you hide it from me? Is it fun to treat me like a fool? "
"You misunderstood." Ye Huanyan hurriedly explained, "I swear, there is absolutely nothing between me and Lu Shen that can't be revealed or that I've let you down."
"You even know that his name is Lu Shen?" Thinking of the two of them chatting in the hotel room, Zeng Rou suddenly burst into tears. "You two have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"
Seeing her bawling like this, Ye Huanyan could not help but recall that five years ago, at the entrance of the concert venue, she had first seen her crying louder than the security guard's loudspeaker. She had successfully attracted her attention, and in the end, she had facilitated her marriage with Su Nianhua.
By a freak combination of factors, she was the one who had been misunderstood. What was going on?
"I've known him for a long time. I've known you for a long time too, Miss Xiao Rou from Tieba."
Ye Huanyan's voice penetrated the layers of fog, and intermittently entered Zeng Rou's ears amidst her sobs.
She was stunned and took two steps back in disbelief. "How did you know my Tieba name?"
"You don't need to know how I know all this. I just want to tell you that Lu Shen loves you very much, the kind of love that you didn't expect. The love he has for you is no less than the love he has for your daughter. As for the dead woman you mentioned, to him, she's just a past."
Zeng Rou bit her lip, feeling more and more confused. "What makes you say that?"
"Didn't you say that you can't win against a dead person?" Ye Huanyan took a deep breath and slowly approached her from the fog.
"Then if I tell you that the person is not dead, will you feel better?"
"Not dead?" Zeng Rou's face stiffened. "What do you mean?"
"You didn't hear wrong. That person is not dead. She …"
Ye Huanyan made up her mind and was ready to confess directly. However, after she spoke, she glanced at a figure behind her from the corner of her eye. Perhaps she couldn't see clearly in the fog, but she definitely recognized that person's scent. She changed the topic. "Maybe she's in another place, alive and well. You can tell this to Lu Shen as it is. I think as long as you mention her to him, Lu Shen will definitely help you untie the knot in your heart. At that time, you'll understand how much he loves you."
In the depths of the fog, there were suddenly spots of light in the distance, and a familiar song could be heard.
"A snow lotus on a mountain in the distance …"
Zeng Rou's face was filled with shock. "It's Lu Shen …"
"Go." Ye Huanyan had already walked in front of her and smiled at her. "I think all the misunderstandings need you to ask him personally, and then he will explain it to you personally."
Zeng Rou looked hesitantly at Ye Huanyan. She seemed to have made up her mind before she walked in the direction of the song.
After taking two steps, she turned back and asked, "You said that she's still alive. What do you mean? You've seen her? "
"I guess so." In order to dispel her concerns, Ye Huanyan could only force herself to nod.
After Zeng Rou walked away, a tall figure walked out from behind the snow. He walked in front of Ye Huanyan in two or three steps and blocked her path. "What did you mean by what you said just now? She's still alive? Where is she? "
In the fog, Ling Han's eyes were full of frost, but Ye Huanyan caught a glimpse of a burning passion. That was the desire to live, the anticipation of hope.
It was rare for her to be so calm. Perhaps it was because she already knew that he was hiding behind the snow, but she was careful when she spoke to Zeng Rou. She was also prepared to be questioned by him. Perhaps this was not the right time, but this was the moment she wanted to tell him the most, even if she was not ready to use this identity to acknowledge him. In the cold night, hearing her hoarse voice, only she knew how sincere she was. "Right in front of you."
She stared into Ling Han's eyes with a burning gaze.
Ling Han looked into her eyes, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. It was as if he wanted to see through her soul, to find a trace of truth in this woman who was full of lies.
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it was very difficult to speak. "What did you say?"
Ye Huanyan looked at him sizing her up, and finally a crack appeared in her calm emotions. She revealed her usual calm and hypocritical smile, which was captivating. "It's just a joke. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"
She lowered her head and adjusted her collar. She sniffed and glanced at Ling Han lightly. The tip of her nose was slightly red. "It's just to give a person in a marriage crisis some hope in life. If President Ling can't understand such a small trick, I'm going to suspect that Pleasure Group has a mastermind behind all these years."
Hearing her words, Ling Han's eyes were filled with coldness. Finally, he held her shoulders and coldly questioned, "Gu Huanyan, I don't like this kind of joke."
