At the same time, on the highway in the direction of Tianhai, Zhao Dong talked about many past events.
Growing up on the streets, skipping school and fighting, being rebellious in youth, until finally leaving home, there was blood and tears.
Sophie listened, her eyes gradually falling towards the window.
Zhao Dong's childhood experience was something she had never experienced before. No matter how difficult life was, he had the love of an elder brother and the admiration of Feng Yuanyuan's younger sister.
But what about yourself?
Growing up, her father had always been very strict with her.
Sophie even felt that her father once hoped that she would be better than her mother in the future.
But until yesterday, all illusions were shattered!
Sophie didn't understand why her father had such strong resentment towards her!
Could it be that the cause of the car accident had something to do with her?
Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any other reason that could make a father hate his daughter to such an extent!
Especially after what happened last night, although as a condition for ending the relationship, she agreed to help her father investigate the truth of that year.
But she still hasn't figured out how to start everything.
The simplest and most effective way is to not control your emotions and try to remember the details of that year through recollection.
But Sophie didn't know what the consequences of doing so would be.
First, I don’t know whether everything in the dream is true or false, and I don’t know how to tell the difference.
Secondly, I don't know what impact this will have on her and Zhao Dong.
The more I thought about it, the heavier my head became, and I didn't know when I finally fell asleep.
Perhaps because of the ride in the car, she slept very unsteadily, her consciousness was blurred, and she was half asleep and half awake.
Suddenly, Sophie exclaimed, sweat dripping from her forehead, "No!"
Zhao Dong immediately stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "I'm here!"
Sophie gasped for air, looked around, and then realized that she had fallen asleep.
Zhao Dong parked the car in a service area, and the license plates that could be seen all had the words Tianhai.
I don’t know how long I slept, but my back was soaked with sweat without my realizing it, and it felt uncomfortable sticking to my body.
Seeing Zhao Dong, Sophie's eyes gradually became moist, and she said with rare tenderness: "Husband..."
Zhao Dong held her in his arms distressedly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will always guard you!"
After a moment of calm, Sophie's mood stabilized.
Zhao Dong patted her back gently, "Did you have another nightmare?"
Signaling Zhao Dong to let go of herself, Sophie hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Zhao Dong, can I ask you something?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Ask."
Sophie pointed, "That thing you're wearing around your neck shouldn't be as simple as an ordinary decoration, right?"
Zhao Dong looked calm, "Why do you ask that?"
Sophie didn’t want to hide it from Zhao Dong anymore, “Because I saw it in my dream!”
Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows and his face became solemn, "Are you sure?"
Sophie nodded, "Maybe I wasn't sure before, but just now I dreamed about it again. I definitely saw similar patterns at the scene of the car accident that year!"
Seeing Zhao Dong's silence, Sophie asked tentatively, "Zhao Dong, are you angry?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, nor am I hiding it from you on purpose."
"I just don't confirm my status, and I don't know how to explain it to you..."
"Zhao Dong, I'm scared!"
"I'm really afraid that you are related to that incident. I..."
Zhao Dong rubbed her head, "Fool!"
Sophie bit her lip tightly, "Zhao Dong, can you give me an answer?"
Seeing that Zhao Dong didn't speak, Sophie said hurriedly: "I don't want to force you. If you have any difficulties, just pretend that I didn't ask."
Zhao Dong stared into Sophie's eyes and asked, "Is it important to you to know this?"
Sophie nodded heavily, "It's very important!"
"Zhao Dong, you don't even know how I got here these two days. I'm almost going crazy from myself."
"I don't know how to face this matter. I'm afraid that there is a connection between Zhao Jianjun and the Zhao family."
Zhao Dong asked, "What if? If this matter is really related to the Zhao family, what would you do?"
Sophie's body seemed to freeze, and a flash of determination flashed across her face: "If what happened back then is really related to the Zhao family, then I will give up!"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "What are you giving up? Are you giving up on me?"
Sophie shook her head, "Give up on pursuing the truth back then!"
"I believe in you and I believe in my mother-in-law!"
"No matter what you hide from me, I believe you will not harm me, and I don't want those who love me to be in a dilemma!"
Zhao Dong lit a cigarette and after a long silence, he said: "I'm still investigating Zhao Jianjun. I'm not sure if he has any relationship with the Zhao family."
"But if you really saw this pattern at the scene of the car accident, I can give you an explanation."
Sophie bit her lip, "Can I know?"
Zhao Dong held the person in his arms and said, "Fool, the reason why I conceal everything from you is not because I don't believe you, but because I know this matter may be dangerous to you."
"Since concealing this matter may hurt you, I can tell you something you can know, but you have to promise me one thing!"
Sophie raised her head and said, "Say!"
Zhao Dong said seriously: "I want you to promise that everything I tell you next will never be told to anyone, including your father!"
Sophie nodded, "I promise!"
Zhao Dong unbuttoned his collar and handed the thing around his neck to Sophie, "Is this the pattern you saw in your dream?"
Sophie acknowledged it, "That's right!"
Zhao Dong sighed, "Then this matter will be complicated!"
Seeing the confusion on Sophie's face, Zhao Dong slowly explained, "It's not a pattern. To be precise, it's a totem, the totem of a mysterious organization!"
Sophie was a little surprised, "Totem? A mysterious organization?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Yes, a mysterious organization that has been on this land for who knows how many years."
"This organization is bigger than you can imagine. Anyone can be a member of the organization, ranging from officials and dignitaries to traffickers and lackeys."
"They secretly guard the peace of this land and punish all invaders who dare to covet this land!"
Sophie bit her lip, "Then you...are you also a member of this organization?"
