At the same time, Mu Yinyin's eyes turned cold.
If Fu Siye didn't allow it, she wouldn't mind making him suffer a bit!
Fu Siye did not allow it. His words were cold, and his dark eyes were fixed on her, not permitting any escape.
"Mu Yinyin, don't speak to me in that sarcastic tone."
Mu Yinyin felt very speechless. "Then what tone do you want me to use? I'm speaking to you normally and you don't believe me. You were the one who became suspicious and followed me."
She knew Fu Siye cared about Nan Shiqing, but she hadn't expected him to care so much. He had considered every possible scenario, good or bad, all around her.
If Fu Siye could show her a third of the care he showed Nan Shiqing, she would wake up from her dreams laughing at her stubborn three years!
But as soon as such a thought crossed her mind, she quickly stopped it.
They were already divorced, why was she still thinking about these things?
Fu Siye's brow furrowed tightly. "Are you telling the truth?"
Seeing that Fu Siye was still suspicious, a cold smile appeared on Mu Yinyin's lips. "If you're so afraid, why are you looking for me?"
"Where are you going?" Fu Siye pursed his lips, suppressing the stuffiness in his chest, and asked Mu Yinyin.
Qi Mo and Ai Mi were both detained at the police station. Everything that needed to be done had been done. The Qi family, the Ai family, and even Fu Siye would handle the rest.
Now, she should focus on her own matters.
Fen Fen still needed someone to take care of her.
She directly stated her decision to Fu Siye. "I'm going to the little girl's side."
"Are you really going to adopt her?" Fu Siye's dark eyes still held a look of doubt.
Mu Yinyin: "..."
She didn't want to argue with Fu Siye any further.
She couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "I'm not lying."
"I'll arrange for someone to protect you," Fu Siye's voice was steady. He looked at Mu Yinyin with exceptionally calm and serious eyes.
Mu Yinyin knew he wasn't lying.
Having been married for three years, she understood Fu Siye's character. If he didn't do something, he wouldn't. But once he decided to do it, he would execute it beautifully.
Given the current situation, having someone arrange for her protection would ensure her safety, which was a good thing.
She could distinguish between good and bad, so she spoke to Fu Siye to thank him. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I'm only doing this for Shiqing's sake," Fu Siye said indifferently. He moved away from Mu Yinyin.
Then, he created some distance between them.
It was rare for them to have a peaceful moment, and Mu Yinyin had even expressed her gratitude, but he had quickly steered the conversation back to Nan Shiqing.
Mentioning Nan Shiqing was truly a mood killer.
Mu Yinyin calmly replied, "Then you go back and take care of Nan Shiqing. Don't keep her waiting too long."
Hearing the tone of her voice, Fu Siye raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Am I not stating the facts?"
"I didn't say you weren't."
As soon as Mu Yinyin finished speaking, the elevator doors dinged open.
The next second, she walked out of the elevator without waiting for Fu Siye's reply.
Looking at Mu Yinyin's retreating back, Fu Siye's thin lips tightened. He didn't call out to stop her, but his mood at the moment was heavy.
Strange.
Why did his tone feel so relaxed when he asked her?
An illusion.
It must be his illusion!
...
At the entrance of the Shu family.
A black Rolls-Royce slowly drove over and stopped.
Following that, Qi Yuan alighted from the car.
Although the Qi family was managed by Qi Mo, the title of 'Boss Qi' for Qi Yuan was still resounding, both in the past and present.
Especially since the Qi and Shu families had business dealings and even a marriage engagement!
The security guard at the entrance recognized Qi Yuan at a glance and respectfully gestured for him to enter.
Qi Yuan glanced at the security guard and said indifferently, "Go tell your family head that I'm here."
"I apologize, Boss Qi. Our family head went out at 8 AM this morning." The security guard remained in a bowing posture, very respectful.
Qi Yuan hadn't expected Shu Zhibei to not be at the Shu residence.
He blamed himself for not considering everything.
Qi Mo was currently in prison. If Shu Zhibei were at home, how could he stand by and do nothing?
Qi Yuan returned to his car and called Shu Zhibei.
At that moment, Shu Zhibei was with his wife at a temple. The chanting of Buddhist scriptures brought a profound sense of peace to their hearts.
Because of the temple's quietness, Shu Zhibei noticed his phone vibrating immediately.
He gently patted the shoulder of the woman beside him and said tenderly, "Ah Hui, I'm going to take a call nearby. Wait for me."
At the same time, he signaled to the bodyguard beside him to keep an eye on her.
After the bodyguard nodded, he took his phone and walked aside.
"Ah Yuan, you're looking for me." Shu Zhibei answered the call, his voice hoarse.
At this moment, he was intentionally lowering his voice.
Qi Yuan also heard the Buddhist scriptures from the phone. He knew that over the years, Shu Zhibei and his wife had been mentally impacted by the disappearance of their daughter.
Especially his wife, Xu Hui.
She was trapped in nightmares, her condition fluctuating, and she was mentally unstable.
Qi Yuan pursed his lips. Although he was struggling inwardly, he proceeded with his plan.
He said with a serious expression, "Zhibei, there's something I need to tell you. I know you've handed over many matters to Shu Yu. Shu Yu is indeed dedicated to the Shu family, but his methods are despicable. He is intent on dominating the region. Now, Qi Mo and Ai Mi have fallen victim to his schemes, and they are currently detained at the police station. I'm telling you this because I hope you won't let your future son-in-law be harmed."
He spoke slowly, his words steady.
Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, Shu Zhibei let out a choked laugh. "My daughter has been missing for so many years, the word 'son-in-law'..."
He and Qi Yuan were close friends for many years. Otherwise, their engagement would not have been set so early.
This was not only arranged by the elder but also his own decision.
Qi Yuan would not rub salt into his wounds.
That meant!
His daughter...
"Ah Yuan, do you have some news?" Shu Zhibei asked Qi Yuan, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Even his breathing was heavy.
Qi Yuan pursed his thin lips and nodded, his expression unchanged. "Yes. I went to the Shu residence to find you just now, intending to talk to you in person, but you weren't there. Zhibei, your daughter is the woman named Mu Yinyin who is by my son's side. If you don't believe me, you can come back and do a paternity test with her now."
Qi Mo was very confident about Mu Yinyin's identity, but he hadn't.
