It was a database.

Each of the entries in the database contained information about one person, including a photo of them and some background information on them.

The first person listed was her own father, Gu Yan'an.

This took Gu Nanyu by surprise.

One by one, she went through each of the entries. She noticed that there were two people she could not recognise.

The third name in the database belonged to a man who appeared to be of a mixed heritage. He was remarkably good looking with his eye-catching facial features. She did not expect to read that he was 40-year-old. He definitely looked a lot younger in the photograph.

For some inexplicable reason, the man looked familiar to her, but she was sure that she had never seen him before.

Gu Nanyu continued to read the database.

If she was taken aback when she saw Gu Yan'an’s name, she definitely was not prepared to see the fourth entry in the database.

Staring back at her was a picture of her mother!

Her mother went missing seven years ago.

However, something was odd. According to the file, her mother went missing 18 years ago.

Are all these linked together?

Who is the owner of this USB?

Why is it with me?

Are the contents of this USB related to my father’s death and my mother’s disappearance?

All of these mysteries were bouncing around in Gu Nanyu’s mind. She struggled to connect the dots.

She continued to read, until she saw the next person. This name left Gu Nanyu lost for words.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

It was Fu Beichen.

It was actually Fu Beichen!

Ever since she woke up, the only people that she had encountered were Fu Beichen and that fatso.

This USB belongs to Fu Beichen!

What does Fu Beichen have to do with her parents?

Why does he have all this information about my parents in his USB?

However, Gu Nanyu realised that the picture was indeed of her mother, but the name listed belonged to someone else.

The more Gu Nanyu looked at it, the more questions she had on her mind.

She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

She had always thought Fu Beichen only saved her from the prison during her past life in exchange for a one-night stand.

However, with this new revelation, she realized that there was more to his actions than she had initially thought.

Is this USB one of the reasons why Fu Beichen kept her by his side during her past life?

Gu Nanyu could not put the pieces together.

However, there was one thing she knew. Fu Beichen might know something about the death and disappearance of her father!

Gu Nanyu opened her eyes.

Above the room was a gleaming European-style chandelier. The coldness of the room had easily enhanced its beauty.

Gu Nanyu removed the USB from her computer and destroyed it. After making sure that damage was irreparable, she threw it into the dustbin.

She rose to her feet and stood before the window.

Initially, the first thing she wanted to do in this life was to cut all ties with Fu Beichen.

At that moment, she had changed her mind.

She wanted to get close to Fu Beichen.

In her previous life, she had always been the passive one.

This time, she would be the proactive one.

She wanted to discover all the truths that she did not know in her previous life.

She wanted to unmask the truth behind her father’s death and her mother’s disappearance.

Why is my mother’s picture in the database paired with a completely unheard name?

She would soon solve all of these mysteries.

Although they were all in Beijing, the chances of Gu Nanyu meeting Fu Beichen were almost zero.

The Gu family was not merely a family in the entertainment industry. Instead, they stood on the top of the industry.

Both the Gu family and the Fu family had nothing much else in common.

The Fu family was a military family. They did not have any need to get into contact with the business world.

This meant that she would need to put in some effort in order for her to get close to Fu Beichen.

However, owing to Gu Nanyu’s secret identity, she did not make a lot of friends, afraid of accidentally revealing her true identity.

However, there was one person whom Gu Nanyu trusted the most.

All young boys and girls shared a similar blissful memory of falling for someone.

That man was someone Gu Nanyu had a secret crush on.

The relationship, however, was obliterated after her one year stint in prison, and the subsequent 10 years she spent as Fu Beichen’s mistress.

This time, Gu Nanyu decided to look for him, because he could be her ticket to contacting the Fu family.
