Chapter 25 - First Move

Gu Yi — He Doesn't Let It Go

Two days passed.

Then three.

The feeling didn't fade.

If anything—

It grew stronger.

Gu Yi returned to the park.

Not once.

Not twice.

Three times.

Different hours.

Different days.

Waiting.

Watching.

But they didn't appear again.

A Decision

By the fourth day—

He stopped pretending it was coincidence.

"I need to know," he said quietly.

Not out of curiosity anymore.

But certainty.

Something wasn't right.

The Thread

He began small.

Asking about nearby residents

Checking building access patterns

Looking into recent tenants in the area

Nothing intrusive.

Nothing obvious.

But deliberate.

Careful.

The Name Returns

And then—

A familiar name surfaced.

A lease.

Private.

Discreet.

Shui Mingyun.

His hand froze slightly over the keyboard.

"…So it really was you."

Across the city—

Mingyun stood by the window, the curtains slightly parted.

Her gaze scanned the street below.

Nothing unusual.

And yet—

Her instincts refused to settle.

She slowly closed the curtain.

Because somewhere—

Without her knowing—

Someone had already started looking for her.

And this time—

He wasn't going to stop.
