Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After getting to know Soul Fighter in real life, they met up often.
Soul Fighter knew that his real name was Shen Liangchuan. He gave his buddy a friendly pat on the shoulder and laughingly said, “Do you know how people would address you back in my hometown?”
Shen Liangchuan shook his head.
Soul Fighter laughed and said, “Chuan Zi! Exactly your name Zi Chuan backwards. Haha! Chuan Zi…”
From then on, he had often called him Chuan Zi.
Although only Soul Fighter used this name, quite a number of team members knew about it.
Hence, he didn’t think it was Soul Fighter based on the card alone.
Shen Liangchuan stared at the words steadily, pulling his chin taut. Then he suddenly looked up at the worker and requested, “Please, could you quickly check if anything unusual was added into the food?”
The worker nodded.
As Shen Liangchuan walked out of the office, he suddenly turned around and extended his arm, telling the workers, “It may not be easy to detect anything in the food, but from my blood… it may be faster.”

Shen Liangchuan stood by the road as he left the detective agency.
His heart was heavy and sunken. It was his own carelessness.
The blood test results showed traces of a stimulant drug in his body.
While it hadn’t harmed him physically, it had made him high-strung and irritable. He always had good control over himself, but the drug had caused him to almost hurt Xiao Qiao a few times.
But who was behind the drug?
Shen Liangchuan frowned and looked down at the card again.
Soul Fighter.
In the last few days, Soul Fighter had constantly occupied his mind.
The stimulant had amplified all his emotions and caused him to almost flare up at Xiao Qiao uncontrollably on a few occasions.
Still, it was Soul Fighter.
The perpetrator was leveraging his sense of guilt towards Soul Fighter to avenge the dead man.
This person… who could it be?
His eyes narrowed all of a sudden. He picked up his cell phone and dialed Song Cheng’s number. “Get a few men to find out about Song Yuanxi.”
Even though he had made this call, he still felt that it couldn’t have been Song Yuanxi behind this.
If she had wanted to create trouble for them, she could simply make an appearance every so often. This alone would remind him of Soul Fighter, there was no need to go through all the trouble.
But besides Song Yuanxi, did Soul Fighter have any other friends around?
Shen Liangchuan hung his head in deep thought.
After a moment, he sighed deeply.
Just as he was about to drive away, the cell phone rang. He picked up and Auntie Li said on the other end, “Sir, Young Master Zihao is here.”
Shen Liangchuan’s expression clouded over when he heard this. After a short pause, he said, “Ok, I’ll be home soon.”

When Qiao Lian came home, she found that Shen Zihao and Xia Nuannuan had come to visit.
Although they hadn’t completed the wedding ceremony yet, as they had registered, they had come to pay a New Year visit as a couple.
Their arrival made Xia Yehua very happy, she just could not stop smiling. It was as though the infuriating episode with Shen Xiu had not happened.
Qiao Lian was happy too. She took Nuannuan’s hand and looked at the girl’s belly. She couldn’t help remarking, “Why is it that I still can’t tell you’re pregnant?!”
Xia Nuannuan laughed and said, “It will only show after three months and we’re not quite there yet.”
A look of realization flashed across Qiao Lian’s face as she said, “Oh, is that how it is?”
Then she led Nuannuan to the sofa, where they sat and chatted with Xia Yehua.
In the evening, Xia Yehua asked the couple to stay for dinner.
Shen Zihao immediately stood up and said, “We won’t stay for dinner, but there is something I might need to trouble you with.”
