Her identity emerged

"Mom, why did you cook so much? Where's Dad? Has he come back from the parent-teacher meeting?" As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw the table full of dishes and bombarded my mom with questions.

"Your dad came back a while ago. He's in the kitchen frying knife fish for you," my mom replied cheerfully as she took my schoolbag from me.

"Are we having guests tonight?" I asked, puzzled. Our family wasn't exactly poor, but we weren't wealthy either. With all this food, it was either relatives or guests coming over.

"No, no guests. Your dad and I made all this just for you," my mom called into the kitchen. "Lao Liu, Lei Lei's home! Hurry up and finish up!"

When my dad heard I was back, he quickly came out of the kitchen holding a spatula, his face also beaming with happiness.

"Lei Lei, you really made me proud today! You should've seen Xiao Liao's face when he saw the rankings, it was priceless! I've never been so happy!" my dad said, grinning from ear to ear.

The whole dinner was spent in the warmth of my parents' praise. Seeing their happy smiles made me feel guilty. In my previous life, I had caused them so much worry during my school years. I never realized how easily they were pleased. Just a little achievement of mine made them so proud.

"Big Brother, you're really good at studying!" After dinner, Xia Jing was in my room, holding my report card and asking.

"What grade are you in?" I didn't answer her question right away.

"Second year of high school," she replied.

Wait a minute—she's in her second year of high school and still calls me 'Big Brother'? Does she have some weird tendencies? But I liked it, honestly.

"What school do you go to?" I asked casually.

"Yan Jing XX High School," she said, unaware that I was trying to pry information from her.

"So your family is from Yan Jing!" My plan worked.

"Big Brother, you tricked me! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Xia Jing said, flustered.

"I was just asking, I didn't say I was going to send you back," I quickly explained, noticing she was upset.

"Even if you don't send me back, they'll come for me soon," Xia Jing said, a sad look on her face.

"Alright, alright. The fact that your family is coming for you just means they care about you. It's a good thing!" I tried to comfort her.

Xia Jing shook her head, leaned against me, and whispered, "Big Brother, I don't want to leave you."

"It's not like we'll never see each other again. I can always go to Yan Jing to find you!" I said, trying to lighten the mood. In truth, I was more than eager for the next time we met. Then, there would be no barriers between us.

"You don't understand! Once I leave, we might not know when we'll meet again," Xia Jing said, her eyes full of sadness and reluctance. The sight of her pain made my heart ache. Here she was, clinging to me, and yet I had been thinking of sending her away just so there would be no obstacles between us. I felt so ashamed!

I reached out and pulled Xia Jing into a tight embrace, gently stroking her back. "Don't worry. We'll definitely see each other again."

"I hope so," Xia Jing said, closing her eyes.

At night, Xia Jing and I took off our clothes and went to bed early. Xia Jing didn't avoid me this time and hugged me under the quilt.

Neither of us said anything, we just kept hugging each other. Xia Jing made me feel very bad. I think Xia Jing must be more sad than me. The whole room was filled with a sad atmosphere.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Jing moved...

I knew what she was going to do. I was surprised and confused. What happened to Xia Jing today?

First she took off her clothes in front of me, and then she took the initiative...

In a guest room at the State Guest Hotel in Songjiang City.

A man in a black suit spoke to a young boy, about ten or so years old:

"Young Master Lei, we've found two attempted rapists. Based on their descriptions of clothing, appearance, and other features, that person is Miss Xia."

"Where are they?" Young Master Lei asked.

"They're at Songjiang City First Hospital," the man in the black suit answered respectfully.

"Hospitals? What's going on? Are those two doctors there?" Young Master Lei seemed a little confused.

"No, they were beaten by a good Samaritan. One had his arm broken, and the other had his leg broken," the man in the black suit said, his expression emotionless.

"What? They were beaten that badly? What about Xia Jing?" Young Master Lei's face twitched slightly.

"She was rescued by that person, but we've already sent someone to get a sketch of him," the man in the black suit replied.

"Are you sure this is the person who beat you?" Young Master Lei asked, holding up a freshly drawn sketch in front of the man lying in bed.

"Absolutely! He attacked so ruthlessly, if I get the chance, I'll definitely get revenge on him," the man in bed said.

"Heh, I'm afraid you won't get that chance," Young Master Lei sneered.

"What... what do you mean by that?" The man, half-paralyzed, looked up at the boy in confusion.

"Hmph! He dared to lay a hand on my fiancée," Young Master Lei said darkly. "Uncle Bin, you know what to do, right?"

"Understood, Young Master," the man in the black suit replied emotionlessly.

Master Lei nodded, took the portrait and turned to leave the door, then suddenly turned back and said with a sinister smile: "Don't kill him all at once, this kind of person needs to be played with for a while."

The man in the black suit, known as Uncle Bin, still nodded expressionlessly.

Young Master Lei pushed open the door to the chief's office without hesitation.

Jiang Yongfu was playing cards with a few people, thoroughly enjoying himself. When the door suddenly swung open, he immediately became irate and shouted, "Who's that? Can't you knock before coming in? Don't you have hands?!"

"Jiang Bureau Chief, just for the fact that you're playing cards here, I could report you!" Young Master Lei said coldly, pulling out the sketch and showing it to Jiang Yongfu.

"Who the hell are you? Do you think the police station is your family's business? It's my break time, I can do whatever I want. What's it to you?" Jiang Yongfu, seeing that the visitor was just a teenager, sneered dismissively.

"Although I can't control you, I can tell you this: I'm from the Lei family. My father is Lei Fubai, and I'm Lei Xiaolong!" Young Master Lei said as he plopped down into the chief's chair.

"Oh, so it's Young Master Lei!" Jiang Yongfu's expression changed immediately when he heard the name Lei Fubai. His tone softened considerably, but he was still slightly annoyed to see the young boy acting so arrogantly by sitting in his chair. However, he couldn't show his irritation. The Lei family was a powerful family, and it was rumored they were about to become one of the six great families of China, replacing the Wang family. Lei Fubai, as the current head of the Lei family, was someone Jiang Yongfu couldn't afford to offend. Even so, he couldn't help feeling disdain for the boy's impudent behavior.

"Everyone says women change faces quickly, but it looks like your face changes just as fast!" Lei Xiaolong mocked.

"Young Master Lei, you're joking. Isn't it time for work?" Jiang Yongfu replied, maintaining a polite and cultured demeanor on the surface.

"At least you're smart enough to recognize that! Help me look up this person's information," Lei Xiaolong said as he handed the sketch to Jiang Yongfu.

"This... should be no problem." Jiang Yongfu agreed to help and took the sketch. But as soon as he glanced at it, his expression froze, and he exclaimed, "What? It's him?"

"How? Do you know this person?" Lei Xiaolong asked, looking puzzled.

"Well, sort of. This person had a bit of a misunderstanding with our police before," Jiang Yongfu said awkwardly, shooting a fierce glare at the public security chief, Yang Shuguang, who was cleaning up the card game.

"Oh." Lei Xiaolong nodded and said, "I need to talk to him about something important. Can you give me his address?"

"May I ask what this is regarding, Young Master Lei?" Jiang Yongfu asked cautiously. He was a bit torn—last time, because of Liu Kesheng, he had offended Zhao Limin, and it seemed this Liu Lei fellow had some powerful connections. Now, with Lei Xiaolong being the son of a national celebrity tycoon, if it was a favorable matter, then everything would be fine. But if the two sides were on opposite ends… it would be a tough situation for him! Offending either side could end up causing him serious trouble.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yongfu was overestimating himself. Even if the two sides did clash, he, as a mere police chief, would hardly have any influence on the outcome.

"How? Is this person well-connected in Songjiang City?" Lei Xiaolong, also from a prestigious family, quickly caught the unspoken implication in Jiang Yongfu's words.

Jiang Yongfu awkwardly nodded and immediately reassured him, "Young Master Lei, don't worry. If this person really did something illegal, I won't go easy on him."

Jiang Yongfu was forced into this position, but he made sure to emphasize that it had to be a genuine case of illegal activity. That way, even if Zhao Limin got upset, he would still have a reasonable excuse.

Lei Xiaolong wasn't fooled by this old fox's intentions. He sneered derisively, "Don't worry, I won't put you in a difficult position. I just need to understand a few things."

With Lei Xiaolong's promise, Jiang Yongfu finally felt reassured. He immediately instructed Yang Shuguang to look up the man's information.

Yang Shuguang worked quickly, and in less than the time it took to brew a pot of tea, he had already gathered all of Liu Lei's details—his home address, school, and even the names of his parents and their workplaces.

Lei Xiaolong took the information without saying much and left.

Later, at Liu Lei's location...

"Excuse me, are you Liu Lei?"
