"I checked all the women on the plane, including the stewardesses. There were forty young women aged twenty to thirty. I eliminated the ones who weren't pretty, still leaving thirty. I believe your taste wouldn't settle for an unattractive girl."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, you win."

Phoenix said, "Among these girls, I got their ID photos and compared them with Song Jiahui's photo. Finally, I found one girl's ID photo somewhat similar. Don't doubt it; Song Jiahui's ID photo was definitely altered intentionally. That's why the similarity can be seen in the eyes, so I checked this girl named Xie Ting."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked: "Xie Ting, who is this Xie Ting?"

Phoenix said, "She is the girl who looks very much like Song Jiahui. After checking, it indeed revealed a problem. It turns out this girl named Xie Ting previously went by the name Song Jiaqi and is a twin sister to Song Jiahui."

Ling Zhenfei said, shocked, "I knew there was such a person; it couldn't be mistaken."

Phoenix continued, "It turns out Song Jiaqi and Song Jiahui's parents divorced, splitting the sisters into two different families. Song Jiahui followed her father, and Song Jiaqi followed her mother who remarried a man with the surname Xie. Hence, Song Jiaqi changed her name to Xie Ting."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's certainly complicated, but now that we know this, I roughly understand the situation. But can we find this girl now?"

Phoenix said, "Records show she checked into a place called Maple Leaf Hotel a few days ago. But we went there to search and found she had disappeared."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned: "You mean she vanished again?"

Phoenix said, "That's right, indeed missing, can't be tracked."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Master Nangong evidently foresaw this and hid Song Jiaqi ahead of time."

Phoenix said, "Regarding Song Jiaqi, I'm still investigating further. We should locate her eventually. We also need to follow up on Xu Liang."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Is there any news on Xu Liang?"

Phoenix said, "This Xu Liang is quite a capable guy. It's confirmed he was prearranged and intended to frame you."

"What do you mean?" Ling Zhenfei said.

Phoenix explained, "Xu Liang owes a huge amount of money, absolutely unable to repay, so he plans to flee and was prepared. Right after your attack, he'd flee; we found Xu Liang purchased train tickets several days in advance.

Also, the reason Xu Liang took that plane was because he arrived in Capital City the day before and stayed a night at a hotel before boarding the flight you were on the next day.

And it was Xu Liang's first time in Capital City. After arriving, he merely went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes. It's strange; it seems his sole purpose in visiting Capital City was to be on the same flight as you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "All of this seems orchestrated by Master Nangong in advance, which I am aware of."

Phoenix continued, "Moreover, Xu Liang didn't buy the ticket himself initially, but two tickets were issued, and it was a real-name ticket purchase. One was for Xu Liang, and the other was named Song Jiahui, which is correct."

"But I found a stewardess on the plane who confirmed that before takeoff, someone contacted Song Jiaqi, also known as Xie Ting, and arranged a seat change, placing Song Jiaqi beside you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "If I'm not mistaken, that's how it is. Master Nangong knew they'd risk exposing themselves if Xu Liang pretended to flirt with Song Jiahui, since both of them knew it was fake. It would surely reveal flaws.

If I detected flaws, the plan would fail entirely. But Song Jiaqi is an outsider; Xu Liang flirting with Song Jiaqi naturally wouldn't show any flaws to me, hence luring me into the trap, and I indeed fell for it."

Phoenix said, "So your case becomes even harder to explain because we have no evidence, only conjectures."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Finding Song Jiaqi will unravel all issues now, but she is missing, truly perplexing."

Phoenix said, "Master Nangong must have hidden her, or killed her."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "After all, Song Jiaqi is Song Jiahui's sister, how could she be killed so easily? Perhaps she's hidden. By the way, was your investigation noticed by anyone?"

Phoenix said, "Our investigation was very discreet, so no one would find out."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now the concern is whether Master Nangong knows of our awareness about Song Jiaqi and Song Jiahui being two individuals. If he knows, Song Jiaqi would be in grave danger."

Phoenix said, "You must act oblivious, not do anything, let us handle everything."

Ling Zhenfei said, "And Master Nangong, have you found him hiding somewhere?"

Phoenix said, "That sly old fox, we found nothing after extensive searching, likely taking precautions for his own safety, fearing being killed."

Ling Zhenfei said, "If I catch that old fellow, he won't have a pleasant outcome."

Phoenix said, "How are things on your end now?"

Ling Zhenfei said helplessly, "What can be done? Years of reputation ruined overnight."

Phoenix laughed and said, "Showing off attracts trouble, don't you know?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Enough nonsense; I'm already frustrated. Just help me through this, and I'll reward you generously."

Phoenix said, "No need for rewards, I owe you anyway from last time."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You can't approach this with a debt-settling attitude. Rest assured, I'll distinctly remember your kindness."

Phoenix said, "You said it yourself, I didn't force you."

"Certainly, certainly." Ling Zhenfei reminded Phoenix once more and then ended the call.

Ling Zhenfei increasingly felt the difficulty of this matter, unable to find witnesses. A conspicuous search could endanger Song Jiaqi. Besides, even if Song Jiaqi is found, whether she will stand by his side is uncertain.

While Ling Zhenfei pondered, He Lingxiu said, "Hey Brother Fei, we haven't finished discussing our matters."

Ling Zhenfei paused, "What were we talking about?"

He Lingxiu said, "You said you'd take us to your island, that's it, wasn't anything else?"

He Lingxiu said, "Then what?"

He Lingxiu pretended to be angry, "Have I not told you, at my age everyone in our village is a mother. When are we planning on having a kid? I want to give you a child; it's the right time for me anyway."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't rush this matter; we're in enough danger now. Let's wait until later."
