Amy watched her, saying nothing, her heart silently cursing her countless times.
However, Qi Mo immediately nodded gently, "Mm, then you go ahead. Call me anytime if anything comes up. I'm here."
Amy bit her lip. Brother Qi had never treated her like this. Why, why hadn't they known each other before? Just because of that useless arranged marriage, he was so good to her?
And this Mu Yinyin…
She was completely of unknown origin now. Why was Brother Qi being so good to a stranger? She was unwilling!
If they had grown up together, playing around each other, or if Mu Yinyin had never been lost and had always been by Brother Qi's side, perhaps she could accept it. But now, the current Mu Yinyin, on what grounds!
On what grounds could she receive Brother Qi's love! She didn't deserve it, ahhhhhh!
Perhaps because of the resentment in her heart, Mu Yinyin seemed to sense it and glanced at her. Amy immediately collected her thoughts.
Mu Yinyin glanced at Qi Mo again and nodded, saying nothing more, and walked towards the guest room.
Soon, only Qi Mo and Amy were left in the living room.
Only then did Qi Mo's gaze fall on her, but after just one glance, he turned his head away. As he walked upstairs, he said faintly, his back to Amy, "You've worked hard today. Go back and rest too."
Amy's unwillingness was almost visible in her eyes. How could she leave? She followed Qi Mo to the study on the second floor and hurriedly explained, "Brother Qi, it really wasn't me. I can swear and guarantee it!"
As she spoke, Amy raised her hand.
Seeing her earnest and anxious look, Qi Mo nodded, "I know, you've already told me in your message."
His tone was light and cold, showing no desire to say more.
Amy's eyelashes trembled. She knew that Brother Qi wanted her to stop here.
Along the way, she was very flustered, fearing that Qi Mo would believe Fu Siye's words and ignore her completely.
Amy took a deep breath. "I know, but Brother Qi, you not speaking, and not showing any intention of believing me, frightens me. I… I will find this person."
By the end, Amy's voice was exceptionally firm.
Qi Mo, however, stated with distant words, "So many people are investigating now. You don't need to add to the numbers. Go home."
Amy looked at Qi Mo incredulously. He was driving her away!
"I won't. Why can Mu Yinyin stay here? Brother Qi, are you afraid she'll be angry if I stay here?" Amy pursed her lips and retorted.
Qi Mo said nothing, but a "clack" startled her.
Seeing him place his phone heavily on the table, Amy's expression changed slightly. Brother Qi… was very angry.
If she continued like this, she wouldn't get anything good. She took a shallow breath, her eyes flustered, "Brother Qi, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, but, but will you give me a chance?"
Her gaze was intense, yet also somewhat desolate and sad.
Qi Mo looked at her coldly, not saying a word, but his eyes conveyed everything. He had already said it more than once: if she still had any thoughts about him, they might not even be able to be friends.
Amy felt like her breath hurt, but, but to stay by his side, she had to stop this topic.
She sighed softly, slowly lowered her eyes, "Okay, I'll go."
There was no other way, she could only obediently walk out of the study.
Although she was unwilling and felt uncomfortable, she still couldn't disobey his wishes.
As for Qi Mo, he didn't even look at her retreating back. He lowered his head and began to handle his work.
…
Guest room downstairs.
Mu Yinyin was working on her computer, personally investigating all of Lu Shan's connections, even trying to hack into Lu Shan's phone.
Also – all the surveillance footage from the Feast of Extreme Bliss today.
She discovered that the people who attacked her were not wearing any protection. They were so arrogant that they feared nothing, indicating they intended to kill her with absolute certainty.
She quickly circled the faces of these individuals and, upon further investigation, found that these people belonged to the most famous local gang: the Azure Dragon Gang.
This gang had a powerful background, was deeply involved, and was notorious for killing and selling lives.
She tried to hack into their system, but the firewall set up by the other party was layered upon layer, making it impossible for her!
But this didn't stop her. She immediately set up a program to attack the firewall.
At the same time, Qi Mo received a call—
"Did you bring the person who will draw the plans?"
"Yes."
Qi Mo then remembered that he was supposed to meet today, but he and Mu Yinyin had gone to attend the game for Qiu Zeyu, and then because of the shooting incident, they had completely forgotten about it.
However, he hadn't seen him at the Feast of Extreme Bliss.
He couldn't help but frown, "You didn't attend the Feast of Extreme Bliss today?"
"Mm, had some things to do. It's better not to attend such vulgar banquets,"
A disdainful voice came from the phone, but then he quickly followed up, "Your current location."
Qi Mo remembered the sudden situation and immediately pursed his lips, "Let's reschedule for tomorrow."
"Then you set the address."
"Mm."
After Qi Mo agreed, the man hung up.
He was alone and had no inclination to stay in the study any longer.
So he asked Sophie to help and cooked a bowl of pasta for Mu Yinyin.
"Knock, knock."
Qi Mo personally brought it to Mu Yinyin, standing at the door and knocking.
Hearing the sound, Mu Yinyin in the room got up from her computer.
She opened the door, and Mu Yinyin also noticed the pasta in Qi Mo's hand.
She was somewhat surprised.
Qi Mo, however, chuckled gently, "It's one thing that nothing was accomplished at the banquet, and now you're hungry. Here, fill your stomach first. I'll take you to meet the person who will provide annotations for you tomorrow."
As he spoke, he walked past Mu Yinyin into the room.
Qi Mo also noticed the display on the computer on the desk.
Without professional skill, it would be impossible to have such professional code programs.
"Yinyin, I didn't expect you to be such a master of computers."
Qi Mo chuckled. He had already placed the pasta on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Mu Yinyin replied blandly, "I only know a little bit."
"You're too modest." Qi Mo did not believe that Mu Yinyin only knew a little.
Mu Yinyin did not intend to hide her findings from Qi Mo and said directly, "The people who chased me are from the Azure Dragon Gang."
Qi Mo was from Country E. He must know the famous gangs in Country E.
As she expected, when Qi Mo heard the words 'Azure Dragon Gang,' his eyes sank, and his expression immediately became serious.
Mu Yinyin continued, "I've already looked into the Azure Dragon Gang. I'm curious, the person who would spend so much to kill me, besides Nan Shiqing, there doesn't seem to be anyone else."
