"Fei'Er, can you confirm if the Jade Pendant was brought back by your father during his business trip five years ago?" Chen Xuan softly asked.

Gao Fei hesitated for a moment, "I can't say for sure about the specifics, but anyway, it was after my father returned from Jiangbei City and gave me the Jade Pendant as a birthday gift."

Chen Xuan fell silent, unable to eliminate Gao Botao's suspicion for the time being.

Currently, there seems to be three possibilities.

The first possibility is that Gao Botao is the direct killer, and the Jade Pendant ended up in his hands.

When Gao Fei turns eighteen on her coming-of-age ceremony, he will bring it out as a gift for her.

The second possibility is that Gao Botao is an indirect killer, having been involved in this murder case, but the Jade Pendant ended up in someone else's hands.

Five years ago, he went on a business trip to Jiangbei City, demanded the Jade Pendant back, and gave it to his daughter Gao Fei.

The third possibility is that Gao Botao has no connection to the murder case, he discovered the Jade Pendant by chance during his business trip to Jiangbei City, bought it, and gave it to Gao Fei.

No matter which situation, investigating Gao Botao is a direction that won't be mistaken.

"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"

Gao Fei looked at him blankly, her gaze pure with not a hint of suspicion.

Chen Xuan snapped back to reality, smiling awkwardly, "I'm pondering over the lost Jade Pendant of yours, it feels such a pity."

Gao Fei immediately smiled, "Don't worry about it, it's been years anyway, I've long forgotten about it."

Chen Xuan pondered, then asked again: "Fei'Er, did your father ever tell you where that Jade Pendant came from?"

"No, I didn't ask at the time." Gao Fei shook her head, "Why, big brother, if you want to know, I can call my father and ask."

"Don't call, I was just asking casually." Chen Xuan hurriedly stopped Gao Fei, can't alert Gao Botao and raise his suspicions.

To avoid raising suspicion in Gao Fei and quickly forget about it, Chen Xuan swiftly changed the topic, "Fei'Er, regarding my successful plane emergency landing, don't tell your father for now."

"I don't want it to become widely known, can you promise me?"

"Sure, I won't tell anyone, I promise to keep it secret." Gao Fei nodded with a smile.

Immediately, Chen Xuan conversed with Gao Fei about other topics, and they seemed to get along very pleasantly.

"Big brother, what work are you doing now?" Gao Fei asked.

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "I'm just driving for the company boss, just a trivial little driver."

"Well, that's a bit of a waste of talent!"

Gao Fei looked regretful, "You're skilled in medicine and can fly planes, how come you're just a driver? Isn't that underusing your talents?"

Chen Xuan laughed, "Because the job is easy, I'm someone with little ambition, just want a simple and happy life."

"Big brother, you're modest, don't like to be flamboyant in your actions. I just like your personality..."

Gao Fei was originally cheerful, but suddenly her words were cut short, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Realizing she had misspoke, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but find it amusing, such a simple and straightforward girl, without malice.

After eating, the two exchanged phone numbers and parted ways.

Watching Gao Fei leave by taxi, Chen Xuan felt a mix of emotions internally.

Truly, he doesn't hope that the tragic death of his parents was linked to Gao Botao.

Not for anything else, he doesn't want to harm Gao Fei's pure heart by avenging himself.

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, and drove back to his rental.

In the evening, Su Linlang came home from work and saw Chen Xuan sitting in the living room, hesitated in her eyes.

"Chen Xuan, you seem to be heavy-hearted? Still troubled by Lin Wanxi's issue?" Su Linlang came over to inquire.

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, "It's not because of that, it's related to my background, feeling conflicted now."

"Tell me about it, I'll help you analyze it." Su Linlang said softly.

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded, roughly recounting the situation, "That's how it is, investigating Gao Botao through Gao Fei is undoubtedly the best approach."

"But from my contact with her, Fei'Er is a pure-hearted girl, doing this would mean using her innocence, feeling uneasy."

"However, not doing this also means passing up a great opportunity that came my way. Linlang, help me make a choice, what should I do?"

Su Linlang also hesitated, "According to your scenario, contacting Gao Botao through Gao Fei indeed won't raise the other party's guard, and it's convenient for your investigation."

"Just afraid of the possible mishaps, if Gao Fei gets caught in an emotional whirlpool, it would be difficult to handle."

"Yes, that's where my hesitation lies." Chen Xuan sighed deeply.

Su Linlang gently said, "Chen Xuan, I can't decide for you on this, but I can give you a suggestion."

"You go find Lin Wanxi and let her help you decide."

"Find Lin Wanxi?"

Chen Xuan looked at Su Linlang with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding her meaning...
