Li Ze saw the determination in Pei Xin’s eyes and chuckled.

Pei Xin didn’t understand what he was laughing at and only took a step back to keep a distance from Li Ze.

“I thought the five years in prison destroyed your pride,” Li Ze said. “But the Pei Xin I know and love is somewhere deep inside there. In that case, we’ll do as you wish. I’ll even pluck my hair to prove it.”

As he spoke, Li Ze plucked a strand of his hair and handed it to Pei Xin.

He continued, “You’ll be starting work with me tomorrow. Rest well today. Let Chen Sheng do the rest, he’ll go do the DNA test.”

“Alright.” Pei Xin agreed.

It was her first time in Haicheng City, so she didn’t know which hospital was the best to go to for the test.

She knew Chen Sheng’s assistant very well. He was very capable and would not make any mistakes when carrying out tasks.

Pei Xin placed the two strands of hair into a bag and handed it to Li Ze.

Li Ze took it and stood up. “Have a good rest. I’ll get someone to pick you up tomorrow.”

After saying that, Li Ze left.

Pei Xin’s shoulder dropped. She sat on the sofa alone and glanced at the noodles she had just eaten. Then, she looked out the windows.

The apartment that Li Ze had chosen for her was pretty high up, and she could overlook the whole of Haicheng City through the window.

Pei Xin sat alone for a long time. It had been a long time since she had a quiet environment.

During the five years in prison, her roommates tortured her 24/7.

After the fifth year, she learned all kinds of skills from those big shots and kept herself busy every day.

Ever since she was released from prison, every day had been Hell for her.

Lu Li would never let her forget her mistakes.

Ling Xue wanted her kidney.

Her son and her brother kept getting bullied.

This moment of peace felt extremely precious to her.

After a while, Pei Xin slowly pulled herself out of her thoughts. She glanced to the side and saw that Li Ze a had left a new phone for her.

Pei Xin turned on her phone and looked through the contact — Li Ze’s current number was already saved on it. He even sent a text message telling her to rest early.

Pei Xin dialed Ling Jin’s phone.

“Hello? Who is this?” Ling Jin’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Pei Xin’s eyes reddened from his soothing voice. “It’s me, Pei Xin. I’m in Haicheng. Annie arranged for me to be an assistant. It’s a very easy administrative job. I’ll get a salary every month. I can send some money back for the both of you. Please use that money to treat Lin Lin well.”

On the other end of the phone, Ling Jin’s tone changed. “That’s great. 1 haven’t heard from you for so long that I started to think you didn’t make it to Haicheng successfully.”

Pei Xin felt a little guilty. She was so immersed in her own world and forgot to call Ling Jin immediately when she arrived.

She could not be blamed for this. Her past life had been so hectic that handling other people became difficult for her.

Sometimes she would end up entering into her own inner world. In her world, no external interference could affect her. Her having a moment of silence was considered a way of relaxation.

The two of them chatted for a full hour before hanging up.

Pei Xin didn’t tell Ling Jin her exact location in Haicheng. She also told Ling Jin not to save her phone number to prevent Lu Li and the others from finding it.

Pei Xin woke up early the next day. Over the years, her biological clock had been set to wake up at a specific time.

After she washed up and had breakfast, the doorbell rang.

Pei Xin jumped from the noise and started to panic.

Then, she realized that this was the home that Li Ze had arranged for her.

Those people in the capital would not find her here.

Pei Xin first looked outside through the peephole.

Once she realized that it was Chen Sheng standing outside the door, she sighed a breath of relief and opened it.

Chen Sheng smiled and slightly waved. Then, the people behind him entered one after another. The two of them worked together to carry racks full of clothes.

Pei Xin was a little confused.

“We have the latest season of outfits based on your measurements,” explained Chen Sheng. “You have business wear, casual wear, and some luxurious styles.”

As he spoke, many stylists filed in and placed some of the outfits on mannequins for show..
