from this mother – “Pink Diamond” necklace. It is said that
this is a present that his father gave to his mother. On this
PD necklace are engraved with the initials ES. For this reason,
he has always believed that as long as he can get into E.Shine,
then he would be able to solve the mystery related to this
necklace and find his own father. His manager, Qiao Zhi, also
knows about this secret. Zhi Yin entrusts his manager to help
