Gu Fan spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The chilly weather prevented him from venturing to the balcony to ponder over matters, so he lay in bed, hands cradling his head, trying to recollect all previous happenings.
Images of the boss, his father Gu Chuanshan, Zhang Yang and Ning Qi surfaced within his thoughts - all harboring particular interests toward the old house.
"Is it all merely a coincidence?" Gu Fan began to question. After having gone through so many events, a multitude of coincidences emerging together may not be a coincidence after all.
Gu Fan recalled the boss first proposing the acquisition of his family's old house while a member of the Zhu family, previous tenants of the house, was present. Why would the boss express his interest in the old house so randomly? Could the Zhu family member have hinted something to him?
