The fox is cunning as a human heart.

  ?

  What does Xin Weiping know about the private affairs of the Luo family? In his opinion, Huang Yusu has such a stepfather, and he should be obedient and call him Dad. Ai Si on the side was also stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have thought of something and showed him a approving gaze. Luo Shuihan reacted quickly, slightly stunned and then smiled and said: "Good, very good, you're awake! Your mother has been worried about you these days, now she can finally rest assured. Take a good rest, take care of your body, don't worry about anything." When Luo Shuihan spoke, there was clearly a strong anger in his heart, he wished to go up and smash him into a vegetable again, but it didn't show on the surface at all.

  "Ai Si called out from the side: 'Ya Su, your little sister has also come to see you!'"

  Xin Weiping knew Luo Shuihan, but didn't know Luo Xue. He only knew that Luo Shuihan had a daughter. There were two girls standing opposite him, one in her twenties and the other sixteen or seventeen years old. Xin Weiping nodded and smiled at one of them: "Little sister Xue, thank you for coming to see me!"

  Everyone's eyes widened in shock, because Huang Yasi seemed to be talking to Gu Ying, but he actually took Gu Ying for Luo Xi! This can't be blamed on Xin Weiping, because Gu Ying has a very noble temperament, with an aloof and natural air that makes her look more like a young lady from a wealthy family, giving people an unapproachable illusion. Gu Ying was also stunned, didn't respond but took two steps back to stand behind Luo Xi.

  Luo Xiao frowned and took a step closer to Xiao Bai, then weakly said: "Huang Jia brother, what's wrong? I'm the little sister!"

  Xin Weiping felt a wave of embarrassment in his heart, and he had mistaken the person! Fortunately, he reacted quickly, closed his eyes and pretended to be very tired, saying: "Little sister is getting more and more lovely, my head is dizzy, maybe I'm seeing flowers." One sentence again made Ai Si's expression tense, it seems that the doctor was right, his son had just woken up and wasn't very clear-headed yet, and even had memory loss - he could recognize Luo Xue's bodyguard, but mistook Luo Xue.

  "This time, Luo Shuihan spoke up: "Yasu has just woken up and needs rest. Ai Si, you take good care of him, the company's matters are on me, you don't need to worry too much... We'll leave first and come back to see Yasu later."

  Xin Weiping let out a sigh of relief, Ai Si got up to see the guest off. Xin Weiping lay down tiredly, his body already covered in cold sweat. The nurse came over and gently fluffed up his pillow with gentle hands and asked with a tender gaze: "Mr. Huang, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

  "It's okay, it's all over!" Xīn Wěipíng only then noticed the nurse on duty in his hospital room, who was specially assigned to take care of him. She was quite lovely and didn't lose out to his beautiful girlfriend in terms of looks. A pair of shining eyes looked at him with a kind of longing. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and also made a decision - from today on, he would no longer be Xīn Wěipíng but Huáng Yàsū!

  The five people who walked into Huang Yasi's ward were Luo Shuihan, Luo Xue, Gu Ying, Luo Bing and Bai Shaoliu. Originally, only the father and daughter of the Luo family needed to enter, but Luo Bing insisted on seeing for himself what was going on with Huang Yasi, so he followed them in. Little White instinctively felt that Luo Xue was afraid and unwilling to enter the ward, so she accompanied him in. Gu Ying saw Little White go in and also went in, which led to Xin Weiping mistaking her for someone else.

  Xiao Bai walked out of the ward and took a step forward, speaking in a low voice to Luo Shuihan: "Mr. Luo, I have something private to discuss with you."

  In Luoshuihan's impression, Xiaobai was the least fond of making a fuss about things. To his surprise, he seemed so serious and had something to discuss in private. Luoshuihan couldn't help but take it seriously and nodded: "Let's go back to Luoyuan together, we'll talk there."

  Back at the Luo Garden, the motorcade did not stop at the entrance but drove directly to the seaside villa. Luo Shuihan first let Gu Ying take Luo Xue to rest and personally led Xiao Bai and Luo Bing to a very special reception room on the second floor. The walls of this reception room were lined with bookshelves, occupying three sides, while the other side had two windows facing the sea. On the wall between the windows hung an intricate eight-trigram diagram with many concentric circles, which was obviously Gu Ying's work.

  In the middle of the room, there was a long table made of white oak, with a very classical and elegant shape. On the table, there was a crystal ball about the size of a football, which was crystal clear and had no impurities at all. Xiao Bai could even feel that there was a strange power fluctuation inside the crystal ball, which was very weak but very stable. On both sides of the long table, only two chairs were placed facing each other. Luo Shuihan sat in one of the chairs and beckoned to Xiao Bai to come over and talk. Xiao Bai looked at Luo Bing and didn't sit down, standing instead by the edge of the chair opposite him.

  "Xiao Bai, I know you're very capable and do things steadily. You've come to me today with something specific to say, so go ahead and tell me - is it related to Huang Ya Su?" Luo Shuihan asked directly.

  Luò Bīng said from the side: "Mr. Luó, is it necessary for me to wait outside the door?" His words were actually asking if he needed to withdraw.

  Luo Shuihan asked Xiaobai again, "Do you want to talk to me alone?"

  Xiaobai hastily shook his head: "No need, no need, some questions may still need to ask Master."

  "Alright, go ahead and say it."

  "Mr. Luo, I'm telling you something that may shock you, but please don't be too surprised. What I'm about to say sounds absurd, but I think it's entirely possible. The Huang Ya Su who woke up in the hospital is not the real Huang Ya Su, but rather his body with someone else inside."

  Luoshui Han looked at Xiaobai, his expression didn't show too much surprise, but his pupils contracted: "Can you explain what you just said?"

  Xiao Bai could sense his mind, Luo Shuihan was shocked, but he didn't have a preconceived notion of disbelief. He thought for a moment and explained: "Mr. Luo knows Miss Gu Ying, so he should also know that there are many mysterious things in this world. Miss Gu has mastered many mysterious spells. So, Mr. Luo should be able to understand some things... According to what I know, there is a spell in this world that can capture the soul of someone who has just died and put it into another body that no longer has a soul but still has vital energy intact. What's it called? It's called 'Duō Shè' (Soul Snatching)."

  Luoshuihan: "Then doesn't that mean there are no dead people in this world? Anyone who knows this magic can come back to life?" Luoshuihan was extremely interested in Xiaobai's words, and his interest even surpassed the question of whether Huang Yasi was the same person as before.

  Bai Shaoliu: "It's not like that, it's not about grasping one's own soul but someone else's. I'm also not very clear about this, just roughly heard from others. Firstly, the deceased died unexpectedly and didn't know beforehand, so their soul can temporarily condense into a yin spirit. Secondly, there happened to be a suitable body shell for it to inhabit, and lastly, someone who knows magic happened to capture it with their spell. This situation is too rare, yet it just so happens to occur to Huang Yasi."

  Luo Shuihan looked up and asked Luo Bing beside him: "Old buddy, what's the background of the person Ai Si invited to the hospital?"

  Luobing replied in a tone as calm as the material: "Hong Hequan, originally named Hong Erbao, is 41 years old this year. He is from Hongjia Village, Huamu Township, Jiheishan District, Wuyi City. He has a high school education and used to be a carpenter for ten years. Five years ago, he came to the city to work and worked under a decoration company as a small foreman in charge of home decoration. Two years ago, he started an organization called 'Bai Shangdi Brotherhood', claiming to be the 'Holy Brother Master'. In the early days, most members were migrant workers who came to the city for decoration work, but now they have developed into all kinds of people from different walks of life. According to a member of the organization, Hong Hequan may really know magic, but it's unclear when and from whom he learned it."

  Luo Shuihan: "Continue investigating this person. Now, you immediately arrange one thing, which is to figure out how many people died from accidents in Wuyou today and who they are. The emergency rooms of all major hospitals should have records. Focus on the hospital where Huang Yusu lives."

  Luobing nodded: "I'll go now, it won't take long." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the door. Luoshuihan said behind him: "Call Gu Ying over, I have something to ask her."

  Luō Bīng pushed the door open and went out, but soon came back in, knocking on the door and asking: "Mr. Luo, is there something you want to see me about?"

  Luo Shuihan: "Miss Gu, please take a seat, I have something to ask you."

  Gu Ying walked to Xiao Bai's side and sat down on the empty chair, Luo Shuihan asked again: "I just heard a strange rumor that there is a kind of magic that can retain the soul of an accidental death, and then let it enter into another plant person's body, and this plant person will wake up and become another person."

  Gu Ying: "Is Mr. Luo asking if there is such a spell or if Huang Ya Su is normal?"

  "Is there such a spell?"

  "Ah! I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard of it. It's not just one kind, there are many evil techniques. I want to tell Mr. Luo that many kinds of evil techniques can lead to this result, but they're often unintentional byproducts and uncontrollable."

  Luo Shuihan: "Unexpected! You say this is unexpected?"

  Gu Ying: "If you want to talk about Huang Ya Su, I'll use him as an example. If he's in that kind of situation, actually whether he can wake up or not, and what kind of person he'll become after waking up, the person casting the spell wouldn't know beforehand."

  "Is there a way to control it?"

  "From what I know, there isn't one, neither in the East nor the West. Almost no one would easily use this kind of magic because even the caster themselves are unclear about its consequences. Of course, it's possible that there are situations I don't know about, since I myself am not capable of using it."

  Luoshui Han: "Alright, it seems I need to find an opportunity to meet that Hong Huan. Miss Gu, are you willing to accompany me to see him?"

  Gu Ying slightly furrowed her brow, and Xiao Bai sensed that she was not willing: "Mr. Luo, when you see him, it's okay if I'm by your side, but the location must be within the Luoyang Building, let him come himself. Also, Mr. Luo, how can you be sure this kind of person will tell you the truth?"

  Luoshui Han: "I just want to ask him a few questions, as for whether he tells the truth or not, we can only judge that ourselves."

  Standing beside him, Bai Shaofeng suddenly had an epiphany. He thought he understood why Luo Shuihan was so interested in Hong Hewan, because Hong Hewan had just swapped bodies with a dead person. During the day, that donkey told him that Luo Shuihan's life might not last long, and although he had money to hire the best doctors in the world, it was uncertain whether he could buy back the life he was about to lose. Was Luo Shuihan thinking of using this method to continue living? It made sense, as life itself is a person's greatest desire, no matter how much money they have. Thinking of this, Xiao Bai also spoke up: "Mr. Luo, if you want to see that Hong Hewan, can I come with you?"

  Luo Shuihan: "Xiao Bai, you're interested too? Young people are always curious. Alright, you'll be there at the time."

  At this time, Luo Bing knocked on the door twice and rushed in hastily. Luoshui Han was slightly surprised to look up and ask: "Old buddy, did you get news so quickly?"

  "News from the major hospitals is not all in yet, but there's one very important piece: at that hospital's emergency room today, a young man was rescued after a car accident but died in vain. The time of death and Huang Ya's awakening are almost simultaneous!"

  "Who is it?"

  "His name is Xin Weiping, 25 years old, a graduate of Wuyou University of Finance and Economics. He is currently the business manager of the Uyo branch of the Asahiko Corporation. His fiancée, Huang Jing, is an office clerk at a shopping mall; his father, Xin Zhen, is the deputy director of the supply and marketing company under the Wuyou Trade Group; and his mother, Cai Fen, retired from the textile factory ten years ago and was still doing small business last year. These three people are now in the hospital dealing with the aftermath."

  Xiaobai shouted out in surprise: "Xin Weiping?"

  Luobing: "What's up, Xiaobai? You know him?"

  "He was my university classmate, living in the dormitory next door to me. His fiancée Huang Jing is my classmate, and they met in college! ... If it were just one person, it might be a coincidence, but two people with the same name, it's definitely them, I really didn't expect things to be so coincidental."

  Luoshui nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then it's definitely him! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so surprised to see you in the hospital room, yet mistaken you for Luoxi... Little White, can I ask you to do something?"

  Bai Shaofeng instinctively felt that Luo Shuihan was up to something in his heart, and asked with some concern: "Mr. Luo, what do you want me to do? I need to protect Miss Luo every day."

  Luoshui Han: "Don't worry about this, I'll get the boss to arrange time for you as much as possible, and what you do will be a good thing."

  "What's going on?"

  Luo Shuihan: "Xin Weiping's fiancée is your classmate, and he is also an old acquaintance of yours? Your female classmate lost her boyfriend in the heat of love, and two elderly people suddenly lost their child. This blow is heavy, and they need comfort now. And his mother was still doing small business a year ago, which means that the family is not well-off either, and they also need help now. Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to go and comfort them, and help them?"

  Bai Shaofeng: "Good things are indeed good things, but Xin Weiping hasn't died yet!"

  "His family won't believe it unless Xin Weiping himself admits to it. You also saw the situation in the hospital room, will Xin Weiping admit to it? This young man is quite cunning, able to react so quickly to this kind of thing and call me 'dad' as soon as he opens his mouth."

  "What do you want me to help with?"

  Luoshuihan: "Everyone's heart is made of flesh and blood, as long as you take the time to get close, with enough sincerity it can be done. Of course, it may also require some money to do things, I'll open an account for you, use the money inside, in short, just get this thing done."

  "Does it cost a lot of money?"

  Luoshuihan: "It's also a lot of trouble to deal with small households! You have to get familiar with his fiancée and parents, so familiar that it's like you're one family. Let them think of you as the most hopeful and trustworthy person. When necessary, let the old man cause some trouble for them, then you go solve it. It's worth spending some money for Huang Yusu."

  Luobing interrupted from the side: "This doesn't need to be said, I'll arrange it, and after arranging, I'll let Xiaobai know."

  "Why don't we just expose him directly, why bother with so much trouble?"

  Luo Shuihan: "Think about it carefully, it's impossible to expose him. He is Huang Yasiu now, as long as he is smart enough. Coincidentally, the doctor also said that he has memory loss. You don't understand what it means to be a parent. As long as Xin Weiping doesn't admit it himself, others can say whatever they want, but Aisi won't believe that her son is someone else's. Once Xin Weiping solidifies his identity as Huang Yasiu, he will eventually remember his past fiancée and parents, and will take the initiative to contact you... Mastering a person's greatest secret is equivalent to controlling him, which is more useful than killing him, so we don't need to expose him."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Control him? He's not Huang Yasi, he won't harm Mr. and Miss Luo."

  Luoshui Han was very tired today, and with a somewhat weary expression, he shook his head: "Some things Huang Yusu did, not because he is Huang Yusu, but because of the position he held. Your friend now is the same, and he has more heart than Huang Yusu. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

  Xiao Bai thought for a moment, regardless of what Luo Shuihan was worried about or what his purpose was, he had made himself do something good after all, so he nodded in agreement. As he nodded, he felt that the emotions of the other two people in the room were slightly different, Gu Ying seemed unhappy but didn't show it on her face, while Luo Bing had a sly smile in his heart. Luo Shuihan assigned this task to Xiao Bai and also assigned Luo Bing to contact Hong and Quan, find an opportunity to arrange a time to meet at the Luoyang Building, and then the matter would be settled.

  Xiao Bai and Luo Bing walked out of the gate of Luoyuan together, just about to say goodbye, when Luo Bing suddenly patted his shoulder and said: "Xiao Bai, let's go! Let's relax today."
