Liu Yingting picked up a few small stones by the river and tossed them aimlessly into the water.
At this moment, she heard footsteps behind her.
Without looking back, she knew it was Du Fei walking over.
"Once, I thought I was the happiest person in the world. I had loving parents, a very happy family, and my studies, while not top-notch, were still excellent, ranking in the top fifty at school."
"I originally thought this happiness would last forever."
"But then, one day, a group of thugs broke into my home. They were after some ledger, and for it, they shot my parents and then tried to kill me."
"These people were insane, but tragically, I couldn't do anything to them."
"Sob, sob, brother-in-law, tell me, what should I do!"
"I want to avenge my parents. Every night in my dreams, I see the scene of their tragic deaths."
"But I'm so useless. I can't even do a small thing right. I'm not capable of avenging my parents at all. I've failed them..."
Liu Yingting had started by narrating slowly, but as she spoke, her eyes reddened, and soon she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Du Fei, who was behind her, quickly took a couple of steps forward and offered her a tissue.
"Tingting, everyone encounters many setbacks in life. Sometimes, these setbacks can be so painful that we wish we were dead. But no matter what, we must gather our courage to face them and resolve them, and then you will find that those setbacks make you stronger."
"I know you are very sad right now, but the more so, the more you need to pull yourself together. I'm sure your parents in another world wouldn't want to see you so sad. They paid the price of their lives to protect you and keep you alive, so you must cherish your own life even more."
Du Fei watched as Liu Yingting slowly wiped away her tears and began to comfort her.
After Du Fei's comfort, Liu Yingting's emotions finally began to stabilize.
However, she immediately frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, I actually know that you and my cousin planned for me to stay with you because you're afraid those people from abroad who killed my parents might send someone to capture me. But you can't keep me by your side forever. If you do... if you do, I'll contact my friends abroad and ask them to help me find the ledger. As soon as I find it, I'll go back and fight them!"
Du Fei hadn't expected the young girl to have such a death wish.
No, this idea had to be nipped in the bud.
"Tingting, I know it's inconvenient to have you with me all the time, but right now, this is the only way. Besides, you absolutely must not contact your friends abroad, or even ask them to help you find that ledger, because if those who killed your parents find out, wouldn't that also bring them mortal danger?"
Du Fei's words immediately startled Liu Yingting. She hadn't expected that she almost brought mortal danger to her friends. Fortunately, Du Fei had thought of it thoroughly.
If this doesn't work, and that doesn't work, Liu Yingting fell into depression again.
"Sigh, if only I knew the art of disguise from 'Movie One' right now. If I could transform into someone else, they wouldn't be able to find me even if they tried."
Liu Yingting couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed she would have to stay with Du Fei from now on. As for the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, she could just sit in a corner and play on her phone without doing anything. That way, she wouldn't cause any trouble, Liu Yingting thought to herself.
As soon as Liu Yingting finished speaking, Du Fei's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Immediately, he happily said to Liu Yingting, "Tingting, I have an idea!"
"Ah? An idea? What idea?"
Liu Yingting looked at the suddenly excited Du Fei, completely bewildered.
However, Du Fei showed a mysterious smile.
...
Liu Shishi stretched and finally finished her day's work ahead of schedule.
Her cousin Liu Yingting had been with Du Fei at the TCM clinic for the past few days, and she heard that she had caused Du Fei quite a bit of trouble, so she was feeling a bit down.
There wasn't much to do at the company today. She finished early and decided to take her cousin shopping and for some delicious food.
She took out her phone and called Liu Yingting, arranging to meet downstairs at her company.
There was a pedestrian street not far from Sunshine International Building, and at the end of it, there were all sorts of snacks. The last time Liu Yingting came, she hadn't had time to take her there, so today, they would eat their way through it from beginning to end, until she was happy.
Liu Shishi estimated that it would still take some time for Du Fei to bring Liu Yingting over, so she went to the small room in the office to freshen up and change her clothes.
After getting ready, Liu Shishi picked up her bag and prepared to go downstairs to wait for Du Fei and her cousin.
Unexpectedly, not long after Liu Shishi went downstairs, she saw Du Fei's car pull up.
The car stopped slowly in front of her, and Liu Shishi naturally opened the door.
However, when she opened the door, Liu Shishi was stunned, because she found that the person sitting in the back seat was not her cousin Liu Yingting, but a strange girl.
"Du Fei, who is this?"
For some reason, although Liu Shishi had never seen the girl in the back seat before, she had a vague sense of familiarity with her.
Du Fei did not answer Liu Shishi immediately. Instead, he turned to the strange girl and said, "How about it? My skills are pretty good, aren't they? Even your cousin couldn't recognize you. Others will be even less likely to."
What was Du Fei talking about?
Liu Shishi was completely confused.
However, just as Liu Shishi was full of doubts, the girl in the back seat smiled sweetly and called out to her, "Cousin."
"Tingting?"
As soon as the other person spoke, Liu Shishi immediately recognized it as Liu Yingting's voice.
However, the girl's appearance now was completely different from Liu Yingting's. Even makeup couldn't achieve such a change.
But the voice was exactly the same as Liu Yingting's. What was going on?
"Cousin, please get in the car first. I'll explain everything to you later."
The girl in the back seat, with a voice identical to Liu Yingting's, beckoned her.
Liu Shishi nodded and got into the car.
After a detailed explanation, Liu Shishi finally understood.
It turned out that the girl in the back seat was her cousin Liu Yingting. As for why Liu Yingting looked like a completely different person, it was all thanks to Du Fei's disguise skills.
Du Fei had thought of it after Liu Yingting reminded him.
Moreover, Du Fei's disguise skill was far beyond mere makeup. Just now, before Liu Yingting even spoke, even her closest cousin, Liu Shishi, couldn't recognize her appearance.
Liu Yingting had now completely transformed into another person. This way, even if those people from abroad came to Rongcheng to capture her, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
As for Liu Shishi, her cousin, no one abroad knew of her existence. Therefore, it was impossible for those gangsters to find Liu Shishi through this connection.
At this moment, Liu Yingting had been completely reborn and no longer had to worry about being tracked by those people.
