Useless Clues

"Not an old fox," Lu Hang speculated. "I haven't seen the person, but some of those captured revealed a bit, saying the original one died and a younger one took over. They went all out because they wanted recognition. If they're young, I guess they're probably not very old."

"Even if they're young, they can't be in their teens or twenties. If they were really that age, who would they be able to keep in line?" Lin Kangjian said.

The others nodded, thinking he made a good point.

"With just a clue about someone young, what can we even catch?" Lin Nannan scratched her head, feeling like packing up and leaving.

Everyone, because of her words, had their smiles vanish.

This clue was worse than having none at all.

In the vast sea of people, if they want to hide, even if they were standing right in front of us, we might not recognize them.

"Forget it, there's no use rushing. We'll deal with it when the time comes. Let's head over first and let the two of them talk properly," the elder said, making arrangements.

Lin Nannan really wanted to say that she was fine, but before she could stop anyone, they had already dispersed, cooperating enthusiastically.

However, she didn’t like talking here either, especially with so many onlookers around.

She brought Lu Hang back to her room, had him get settled, and change into clean clothes, which helped him perk up a bit...

Lying on the bed chatting, somehow the topic turned to Lin Shuang.

Lin Nannan sighed and said, "It’s good that she’s okay. But finding out that she almost lost her life because of her own mother—I wonder if she can accept it."

"She’s holding up alright. She wasn’t led astray by Zhang Ling," Lu Hang said fairly. "She recognized me but didn’t ask for help, probably afraid of implicating me. During our operation, she sensed it too and didn’t seek help immediately, which is why she got injured. My comrades said the girl looks delicate but has a strong spirit. If she finds out what she went through was because of her mother, she’ll be heartbroken, but she’ll endure it."

Lin Nannan had never spent time with Lin Shuang and was surprised by Lu Hang’s words. Thoughtfully, she said, "If she’s really different from Zhang Ling, she’ll have an easier time. Otherwise, nursing grudges, she’ll suffer greatly."

She wondered if, after all this, the Lin family would fully accept her—especially Ms. Zhou, who had been so upset at the time that she made the decision to send her away. If Lin Shuang returns, Ms. Zhou would have the most mixed feelings.

"That’s her own business. Besides, compared to other outcomes, this is already the best possible one," Lu Hang said in a low voice.

Lin Nannan agreed with him and sighed. "I just don’t know if Ms. Zhou is willing to accept her!"

"What do you think?" Lu Hang asked.

"I’m not invested either way," Lin Nannan said indifferently. "I hold no grudge against Lin Shuang. She wasn’t even born when I was switched out. Besides, even if I wanted to do something, the Lin family might not agree, especially after what she’s been through. So, whatever they decide, I won’t get involved. I won’t be here long regardless."

Lu Hang mussed her hair and planted a kiss on her forehead.

He knew Lin Nannan hadn’t forgiven Lin Shuang—she was just indifferent.

When it came to people or things she didn’t care about, Lin Nannan paid them no mind.

"If you’re unhappy, we can go back," Lu Hang said, leaning his forehead against hers.

Lin Nannan threw her arms around his neck and replied, "I’m not upset. Let them decide for themselves... By the way, we can’t go back yet. Do you remember that brother and sister we met in the train compartment on our way back from Yun City?"
