Qi Feng's words surprised Morrison.
His eyes widened as he looked at Qi Feng. "Do you mean that she's going to do something to Mu Lingshi?"
Qi Feng grinned. "You're right and wrong at the same time. You'll find out soon enough. Just wait and see how Mu Yuchen is going to turn this around. Do you really think Doris will work with us without having anything up her sleeve? That woman's wickedness is unimaginable."
Knowing Doris very well, he had started investigating her back when the accident with Gu Lingsha happened.
"So, we can only wait for Doris to make a move now?"
"I'm not sure if Mu Yuchen will figure out what I'm thinking. It's not Doris's first time planning to take over the Hui Gu Corporation. Just wait. A storm is coming!"
Qi Feng's voice sounded cold. He glanced over at Qi Weier on the bed and took a deep breath. "I just hope that no one will be able to threaten me again after this. Mu Yuchen, I want you to have a taste of what I experienced."
Then, he turned around and went outside.
Morrison quickly caught up with him. "Master, Professor Terl will be coming over to take a look at your legs tonight. He said you'll be entering the final phase of the healing process. I'm sure you'll be able to stand again soon!"
He sounded genuinely happy while Qi Feng felt relieved.
There was hope for him to stand again!
Xi Xiaye had been busy working in the past few days and barely had any time to rest. She could only take a breather during the weekend, but there was a surprise visit from Ji Zitong.
The weather was looking great today. It was cool and windy.
In the backyard of Maple Residence, Xi Xiaye and Ji Zitong sat side by side as they enjoyed the blooming chrysanthemums.
"They look great. They might even be better than the ones in my store," Ji Zitong said.
Xi Xiaye smiled and sipped some tea. "Grandmother planted these herself. They almost died back when she just passed away and no one took care of them, but Grandfather didn't give up and took over her job. Now, here they are."
While she was smiling, Xi Xiaye's eyes darkened slightly when she thought about Wang Hui. Ji Zitong turned quiet as well.
"Time really flies. It happened so long ago, but it feels like it just happened yesterday." Xi Xiaye sighed.
"There's no need to think too much. Grandmother will be able to rest in peace." Ji Zitong was not sure what to say.
"It's alright. I'm just saying." Xi Xiaye blinked her eyes as she averted her gaze away from the flowers and looked at the blue sky. "Isn't Su Chen back yet?"
Ji Zitong sipped some tea before replying, "Not so soon. It'll take him a few days. The three of them got together, so I bet something has happened, but he didn't tell me when I asked. He just told me to not ask too much about it as it's men's stuff. He did tell me to come and visit you more often. Since my store hasn't really been busy lately, here I am."
"You should indeed come over more often. It's not like Su Chen can't support you anyway. There's no need for you to work so hard. You know what? Let's go to the spa to relax!" Xi Xiaye smiled as she looked at Ji Zitong. It was obvious that she was living a happy life with Su Chen.
Ji Zitong smiled back at her. "Maybe not today. I need to go back to the store later. Chairman Mu surely can afford to support you too, but you still go to work. I don't want to be a housewife. It'll make me feel old. I heard from other ladies that giving everything to your husband and children isn't really wise."
Xi Xiaye smiled. "How's Ah Shi doing?"
Mu Lingshi had gotten closer to Ji Zitong since Wang Hui's death. She would visit Ji Zitong's store from time to time whenever she was free. Sometimes, Ah Mo would join them together for meals along with Su Chen too.
"She still looked pretty unwell a few days ago. I guess she's worried about Gu Qiwu. He's been sending a lot of people to her lately. I also heard that Gu Qiwu went to the Imperial Sky Entertainment Club a few days ago."
"Gu Qiwu came to see Ah Shi recently? You saw him a few days ago?" Xi Xiaye frowned.
Should Gu Qiwu not be in City B right now? Had his company stabilized?
"Yes, I think he's there to meet Ah Shi."
She was not sure what Gu Qiwu was trying to do. Things seemed more complicated than she thought.
"What's wrong?" Ji Zitong noticed Xi Xiaye's odd expression.
Xi Xiaye came back to her senses after hearing Ji Zitong's voice. "It's fine. Have more tea!"
Ah Mo was still in City B at the moment, and Mu Lingshi had never mentioned Gu Qiwu to her. She worried about talking about it because she did not want to make Mu Lingshi unwell, but now...
Xi Xiaye thought it was appropriate to let Mu Yuchen know, and it might be a good time to have a talk with Mu Lingshi.
Although she made a decision swiftly, plans could always change!
After several cups of tea, Ji Zitong noticed that Xi Xiaye seemed uneasy, so she bade her farewell and returned to her store.
As Xi Xiaye was thinking about whether she wanted to bring Mu Xiaocheng back to the Mu residence, her phone started ringing.
She picked up the call.
"Hello?"
A deep, male voice responded to her.
"Hello, Miss Xi!"
It was a man's voice!
A slightly familiar voice!
Xi Xiaye immediately frowned. She quickly tried to remember whose voice this was. Moments after that, she recalled!
Gu Qiwu!
How could it be him?
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She did not reply immediately and just squinted with vigilance.
When he did not hear Xi Xiaye's voice, Gu Qiwu's low voice was heard. "Miss Xi, you're quiet. I'm sure you know who I am." His voice was filled with certainty.
Xi Xiaye did not hide it either as she calmly responded, "Mr. Gu, I wonder what you're calling me for."
Actually, she could already guess that it was probably about Mu Yuchen and Mu Lingshi. At this moment, she suddenly recalled that it was this man who had blocked her in the tunnel before this. Back then, had he wanted to warn Mu Yuchen too?
"I'm honored that you can still remember my voice." Gu Qiwu's soft chuckle was heard. His chuckle made Xi Xiaye frown even more.
"Not much. I just wanted to ask you out for a chat about Lingshi. I wonder if you'd be willing to give me the honor, Miss Xi." Gu Qiwu did not beat around the bush either as he made his intentions known.
The honor to meet?
As Xi Xiaye pondered, a mocking sneer flashed across her lips. "What if I'm not willing?"
"Of course, I'm hoping you'd say yes. You've always paid attention to Lingshi's matter, haven't you?" Gu Qiwu's voice remained low and still sounded calm as if he was certain that she would agree to his request.
"Mr. Gu, I'm afraid I've got nothing to say to you. If it's about Lingshi's matter, then it's best that you look for Mr. Mu. I don't know about these things too well, so I'm afraid there's not much I can say."
Xi Xiaye recalled Mu Yuchen's urges, so she did not make her own decisions. She thought that it was best if she discussed this with Mu Yuchen. If Gu Qiwu really wanted to talk to her, he would not just make this call.
Then, before Gu Qiwu could respond, she hung up.
Du-du-du...
When the sound of the engaged signal was heard, Gu Qiwu immediately frowned and slowly pulled his hand back to look at his phone screen that dimmed. After a while, he casually tossed his phone onto the table and leaned back against his chair. He could not help but lift a hand to massage the fatigue between his brows.
When he saw that Gu Qiwu did not look too good, Ah Yong quickly asked in concern, "Boss..."
Gu Qiwu sighed while his other hand held a pen. He blinked heavily and responded after a while, "It's fine."
"Did Xi Xiaye not agree to meet?" Ah Yong said carefully.
Gu Qiwu did not seem too bothered by this. He calmly responded and quickly relaxed, "Xi Xiaye's not the kind of woman without her own opinions. I'm sure she's vigilant about the way things have turned out. She's probably going to tell this to Mu Yuchen. When that happens, try to ask her out again. It shouldn't be too hard to meet someone."
"What about the thing I told you to investigate?" He suddenly looked up at Ah Yong. His gaze was dark and cool as a deep lake as it met Ah Yong's eyes. In that instant, Ah Yong felt worried and uneasy by his expression.
"Boss, no news for now. But Qi Qiming did make Qi Feng a mere director. I think he will be thinking of other ways. In fact, according to Qi Lei's current situation, it's enough to prove that Qi Qiming sees Qi Lei differently now. Right, I also recently heard that Qi Feng's been meeting Missus quite often, probably because of Miss Lingsha's problem," Ah Yong responded.
When Gu Qiwu heard that, he did not immediately respond. He just set the pen aside and picked up the tea to take a sip, and then fell silent.
"Boss, the people over there have said that they will do their best to settle this. Miss Lingsha will be released soon. Do we want to tell Miss...Doris?" Ah Yong clearly detected that Gu Qiwu was not too happy, so in the end, he quickly changed the way he addressed Doris.
"Whatever she wants to do has got nothing to do with us. Just keep your eye on her. She won't just let this go so easily. Open your eyes and pay attention," Gu Qiwu said with some thought.
He knew Doris well. If she let him off so easily after suffering such a loss, she would not be Doris!
How else could this woman have continued to stay by his side?
However, did she think that Gu Qiwu was a pushover too? If she were to behave, it might not have angered him. Perhaps he could have treated her better, but now, he did not feel any longing for this woman at all!
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this woman made him feel down.
Even if Gu Qiwu and Mu Zixi had a past. Ever since Mu Zixi left, Gu Qiwu had only doted on Doris alone. He never had anything with any other women and had been loyal to her. Was that not enough?
What had this woman done to him instead?
When he thought about this, Gu Qiwu's lips could not help but flash with a self-mocking smile.
Upon seeing Gu Qiwu's shifting expression, Ah Yong quickly responded, "Yes! I got it! Right, Boss, Miss Weiwei is sick and hospitalized..."
"Make the arrangements. I'll go visit her tonight," Gu Qiwu answered frankly.
Gu Qiwu did love Weiwei. He continued to play his role as a loving grandfather which was different from the cold Doris.
"Yes, Boss! Do we want to call Qi Feng first? Miss Weiwei hasn't been too well recently. I heard that it might be because of Miss Lingsha's issue. The police station still won't let her go. It must be because of Mu Yuchen putting pressure. When I talked to them before this, they seemed like they were quite troubled. I'm worried—"
"City Z's still not Mu Yuchen's turf. He will know when to stop. He's clearly targetting Lingsha and Qi Feng with this issue. The fact that they got to this state is a good lesson for them too. They've overestimated themselves!" Gu Qiwu said coldly.
Every time Gu Lingsha caused a problem, he would always have to pick up the pieces. This time, he wanted to let Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng understand that they needed to take responsibility themselves!
"Yes, Boss!" Ah Yong listened and could only answer simply.
The sky turned dark by the time she returned to the Mu residence.
The servants had prepared dinner, but only Xi Xiaye, Mu Lingshi, and Mu Yinan were around the dining table. Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong had appointments tonight and would not be back for dinner.
Mu Yinan went out for a walk right after dinner. It sounded like Elder Zhou had called him. They probably wanted to hang out together, leaving Mu Lingshi and Xi Xiaye at home.
"Have some fruits." Xi Xiaye prepared a fruit platter as Mu Lingshi was watching TV in the living room.
"Sister-in-law! Is Xiao Cheng asleep?" Mu Lingsha made some space for Xi Xiaye and poured some flower tea for her.
"He just fell asleep. What are you watching?" Xi Xiaye sat down beside Mu Lingshi as she glanced over at the TV. She then realized it was some children's program...
"I guess it's about time to do some prenatal education. I heard that by speaking with the baby and listening to more happy music, the child will turn out more cheerful."
Mu Lingshi's eyes turned gentle as she touched her baby bump. "Mmm, the doctor said so too, Ah Mo was pretty into it. Sister-in-law, my brother was pumped up as well, wasn't he? How was he?"
She glanced at Xi Xiaye curiously as she started wondering how Mu Yuchen did his prenatal education.
"He read stories to my belly every day and talked like a silly clown..." When Xi Xiaye remembered that period, she started grinning.
Mu Lingshi chuckled. "I can imagine that. He's just like Ah Mo. I just can't stop smiling thinking about how these two serious-looking men would act silly for their children."
"You'll get used to it soon enough. Your brother was a little awkward when I told him to speak to his child." Xi Xiaye tasted some tea as she fixed her gaze onto Mu Lingshi's face.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have anything to tell me?" Mu Lingshi had sharp instincts and instantly read Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye did not reply right away. She slowly put the cup down without averting her gaze away. Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I came over tonight to talk to you."
"To talk to me?"
Mu Lingshi was dazzled for a moment. She came back to her senses after a bit as she stared at Xi Xiaye. "Did Brother want you to tell me something?"
Xi Xiaye smiled and shook her head. "Your brother trusts that Ah Mo will take good care of you, so I'm here just to talk to you for a bit."
"Is it about Gu Qiwu?" Mu Lingshi instantly figured it out as she looked into Xi Xiaye's eyes. Her voice sounded a little bitter.
Xi Xiaye nodded her head. Naturally, she noticed Mu Lingshi's darkened expression. "However, I'll stop asking if you don't want to talk about it."
Mu Lingshi took a deep breath and put on a bitter smile. "It's fine. Ask away. I should be responsible and tell everyone about it anyway. I know everyone is being considerate about me and doesn't want to ask me about it, but I'm fine actually. I can face it right now. I'm a child of the Mu family after all. I'm not that fragile!"
"I'm happy that you have these thoughts. Your brother is actually very worried about you..."
"I know. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. Actually, I have something to tell my brother too. It's just that there hasn't been a chance..." Mu Lingshi said.
"Great, I'll be straightforward with you then." Xi Xiaye turned over to Mu Lingshi and took a pause. "I want to talk about Gu Qiwu. So, what's your plan from now on? I'm sure you know what's been going on. Gu Qiwu and Doris are divorced, Gu Lingsha's been arrested, and I know Gu Qiwu has had a change of attitude toward you lately."
Mu Lingshi was not surprised by Xi Xiaye's question. She had already decided to speak to Mu Yuchen about it, but she knew that telling Xi Xiaye would be the same as informing her brother, so there was no point for her to hide anymore.
She cleared her mind and answered, "Naturally, I can't accept what Gu Qiwu did in the past, but after experiencing all the love and concern from everyone around me, I'm truly touched. After Grandmother's death, I realized that escaping might hurt other people and cause even greater harm.
"Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha keep blaming the accident on Brother. I'm afraid they've been plotting revenge all these years. I know I've been avoiding the truth, and many people are paying the price of my avoidance. I've thought it through. Rather than letting Brother shoulder the burden, I should be strong and fight for what I deserve. That's better than letting other people use it to threaten him."
Mu Lingshi's tone sounded firm while her eyes were filled with renewed determination just like the stars in the sky.
Xi Xiaye smiled. "So, you're about to meet with Gu Qiwu soon, right?"
Mu Lingshi nodded. "Mmm, he wants to take me back as his daughter and compensate me. He made it sound all nice, but I don't feel his sincerity at all. I even suspect that he's trying to give the Mu family a response after all these years and try to get something out of Brother. That's just who he is." Her tone sounded cold and bitter.
"He wants you back as his daughter?" Xi Xiaye grinned coldly as she said quietly.
She was not surprised at all since it was all within her expectations.
According to Gu Qiwu's situation, it would make sense for that to happen.
Xi Xiaye did not want to know whether Gu Qiwu was being genuine. During Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha's wedding, he seemed really sorry about how Gu Lingsha behaved for Mu Lingshi's sake, but it was great to see that Mu Lingshi could get over it.
"I can't say for sure if he's being genuine, but I can't forgive him no matter what. My mother, Lingtian, and Grandmother, these tragedies happened because of him, yet he's living a happy life right now. He doesn't even feel an ounce of guilt. While I won't allow myself to hate him, I can't just let him get away like this." Mu Lingshi did not hide the anger within her.
Her expression turned cold, and the dim light made her scar seem slightly eerie.
When Xi Xiaye turned over, she closed her eyes and concealed the anger in her eyes.
"Do you want to fight for Hui Gu?"
Mu Lingshi opened her eyes instantly after she heard Xi Xiaye's question.
Instead of answering Xi Xiaye's question right away, she smiled and paused. "Yes, even if I can't get it, I want to destroy it. I don't want to leave it to either Gu Qiwu or Gu Lingsha."
Xi Xiaye was surprised and was not sure what to say.
"You don't have to say anything. I know what I'm doing. I'm no longer the weak little girl who needs her brother to protect her any longer. Neither am I that fragile nor am I a fool. I know what to do."
"Gu Qiwu called me this afternoon."
Xi Xiaye's words shocked Mu Lingshi and she instantly frowned. "What did you say? He called you? What for? Did he threaten you?"
When Mu Lingshi stood up, Xi Xiaye quickly grabbed her hand. "Don't be reckless! He didn't threaten me. He said he wants to see me and talk about your brother, but I declined him."
"Hmph! He sure knows how to scheme. Is he trying to get you to lobby for him now?"
Mu Lingshi managed to figure out what was Gu Qiwu planning.
This whole matter was unrelated to Xi Xiaye. Even if Gu Qiwu wanted to talk, he should be talking to Mu Yuchen, but now he was just trying to exploit Xi Xiaye's weakness because he knew about her influence over Mu Yuchen. Furthermore, Mu Lingshi herself had nothing but respect towards her brother too.
Lobby for him?
Perhaps that was exactly what Gu Qiwu was thinking about.
"Just ignore him. I hope that you'll be left out of this. I don't want these things to drag you down." Mu Lingshi's voice turned cold as she took a deep breath and left the living room.
Xi Xiaye felt her chest grow heavy as she watched Mu Lingshi walk up the staircase. Perhaps she should not have brought it up, but even if she did not, things would not just be left as they were.
It would not...
Gu Qiwu was a persistent man. When Xi Xiaye drove into the Grand Waves villa area at night, she knew things would not just end there the second she saw Gu Qiwu waiting by the entrance!
Xi Xiaye stopped her car as another car was blocking the road. Ah Yong quickly came to greet her, "Long time no see, Ms. Xi!"
Xi Xiaye frowned as she glanced at Ah Yong. Her face was strained.
"Missus?"
Sis Wang and Aunt Fang both noticed the aura around Xi Xiaye suddenly turn cold. They looked in front and realized these visitors did not come with good intentions!
Xi Xiaye did not say a word and just looked at Ah Yong coldly.
"Missus!"
Her bodyguards rushed forward as soon as possible, including Mu Lingshi's personal bodyguard, Ah Quan. Xi Xiaye had stayed over at the Mu residence for the whole day. Because Mu Lingshi was worried about her, she had asked Ah Quan to accompany her.
"Who are you?" Ah Quan was a responsible and experienced bodyguard, so he stared at Ah Yong coldly.
Ah Yong looked straight into Ah Quan's eyes fearlessly before averting his gaze away momentarily after. Instead of answering Ah Quan, he continued to speak to Xi Xiaye, "Ms. Xi, our boss has been waiting here for a while. I know that you're a busy person, but could you spare us 20 minutes or so?"
"Missus, should we just throw him aside?" Ah Quan asked for Xi Xiaye's permission.
Xi Xiaye glanced at him, then looked at the car blocking her way. As she was about to say something, the person got out from the car in front of her. It was a skinny, dark figure.
Who else could it be if not Gu Qiwu!?
"Don't worry, Ms. Xi. We mean no harm." It was Ah Yong who spoke.
Xi Xiaye figured that it was not possible to settle this matter if she did not get out of the car, so she took a deep breath and unfastened her seatbelt.
"Be careful, Missus! Who are they?" Sis Wang was concerned.
Xi Xiaye turned over and looked at her son who was sleeping soundly in Sis Wang's arms. "Don't worry. I know them. Head on back now. Give the baby a shower if he wakes up. I'll be back soon."
Xi Xiaye then got out of the car smoothly.
"Ah Quan, get someone to send them back to Maple Residence." Xi Xiaye gave her orders.
Upon hearing that, Ah Quan looked vigilantly at Ah Yong and responded, "I'll let them send the Little Master home. I'll go with you Missus."
He then turned around to give orders to the two black-clothed bodyguards. One of them nodded and got into the car to escort Sis Wang and Mu Xiaocheng home first.
At this moment, Gu Qiwu walked over too.
When Xi Xiaye saw him stopping before her, she could not help but frown slightly.
"Mr. Gu, you really are persistent indeed." Xi Xiaye's calm voice was mixed with a hint of displeased mockery.
"Since you wouldn't say yes to me, I was forced to do this, Miss Xi." Gu Qiwu did not seem awkward either. He was at ease as he laughed.
Xi Xiaye did not quite understand this man before her. how could he seem so calm at such a time? She was truly amazed by this man.
Xi Xiaye squinted at him, then turned around to walk towards the roadside as a faint curve flashed on Gu Qiwu's lips and he gladly walked after her.
She had just walked across the road and along that pebble path until a manmade lake beside the Grand Waves Villa area when she stopped. Gu Qiwu had caught up with her while Ah Quan and the rest stood behind vigilantly.
"I've got nothing much to say to you, Mr. Gu. I'm afraid you've come looking for the wrong person."
On that cold night, Xi Xiaye was hostile too, and you could hear her disdain in her voice when she said this. She did not look at Gu Qiwu either.
Upon hearing that, Gu Qiwu only smiled. He looked at Xi Xiaye through narrowed eyes and smiled to say, "Miss Xi, are you still holding a grudge about what happened from before?"
His tone was certain, and it was because of that that Xi Xiaye hated the way he was asking a question that he already knew the answer to, but when she remembered her conversation with Mu Lingshi from before, she calmed the uneasiness in her down.
"Since you already know, are you trying to play old tricks again?"
When Xi Xiaye remembered the scene when she was first blocked at this tunnel, she could not help but feel irritated. She hated the way people kept using her to threaten Mu Yuchen. If it were not for her, Mu Yuchen might have been living more freely and easily right now.
"Don't worry, Miss Xi. I'm willing to apologize to you for my previous rudeness, but this time, the reason I want to see you isn't to give you or Mu Yuchen advice. Rest assured about that." Gu Qiwu's low voice was heard, but when she heard him, she only thought he seemed sulky.
"This time, it's because of Lingshi."
"Because of Lingshi?" Disdain flashed in the corner of her lips. "I don't remember how you're related to Lingshi, Mr. Gu. Are you sure you're talking about Lingshi and not Lingsha?"
Gu Qiwu could obviously hear the sarcasm in Xi Xiaye's tone. His expression froze, but after that, he only chuckled. "Why would you say that? You don't have to provoke me. Now, everyone knows about me and Zixi. Mu Lingshi is my daughter with Zixi. There's no doubt about that. No matter what, she still has to call me her father."
It was the first time that Gu Qiwu was being so certain in acknowledging Mu Lingshi's identity in front of someone else.
"Even though I'm not Lingshi, I still have to let you know. Please don't insult the term 'father'. At Gu Lingsha's wedding, did you even act like it? These past 30 years, what have you done for her?" Xi Xiaye's tone was filled with sharpness and unhappiness. Then, her eyes could not help but flicker with a chill as she turned and her eyes fixed on Gu Qiwu's.
You could not read any emotions in those jet black eyes of hers. Xi Xiaye seemed to be able to catch a hint of struggle. She wanted to say something more, but she heard Gu Qiwu sigh softly. He said in a heavy voice, "I don't deny all of these, and I don't want to talk about my reasons. You're all not me, so you wouldn't know about it."
"Since you think that way, you shouldn't have come to look for me today," she replied coldly.
"It's not like everything will be perfect once I acknowledge Lingshi as my daughter. Otherwise, the incident with Elder Madam Mu wouldn't have happened. You can put all the blame on me, and I will admit it. I'm still trying hard to make it up to Lingshi. That's why I've come to you, hoping you can persuade Lingshi and tell her not to resent me so much. After all, in the end, some things can't be erased. She's my daughter and I've never thought of treating her any less."
"Enough. What's your so-called compensation? To be the Gu family's second heiress? Or your Hui Gui Corporation? Do you think that Lingshi would care about these things?" Xi Xiaye immediately felt angry.
Gu Qiwu just smiled nonchalantly. "Whether or not she cares is not up to you. You don't care, and Mu Yuchen and the rest might not. It's not news that they want to kill off the Hui Gu Corporation. You know that I had another son, but now I'm only left with two daughters, so I'd have to leave these things to them. I can understand how Mu Yuchen feels. I want to make it up to Lingshi as well. As long as Mu Yuchen's willing to collaborate with me and get Lingshi to acknowledge me as her father, I promise that she will be treated well."
"Mr. Gu, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong person. You should tell these things to them, and not me."
Indeed as Mu Lingshi had guessed, Gu Qiwu had looked for her to help lobby for him.
However, when Xi Xiaye said that, he felt a wave of helplessness in his heart. If he could have said all these things to Mu Yuchen, he would not need to look for Xi Xiaye.
"Actually, you don't need to respond to me. Just like the last time, pass on this message to Mu Yuchen. Who knows? We might be on the same side in the future. He's planning his every move so carefully, so I'm sure he's got plans in mind, doesn't he?"
Especially when it came to Gu Lingsha's incident, Gu Qiwu did not need to guess and knew the answer right away.
Xi Xiaye remained silent and watched Gu Qiwu's solemn expression. Her gaze began to shift.
Gu Qiwu's words were quite interesting. He seemed to justifiably think that all of these incidents were Mu Yuchen's work.
On the same side?
Who would be their opponent then?
Qi Feng?
Or Doris?
Xi Xiaye did not answer him. She only showed amusement on her lips.
"When's Mu Yuchen coming back?" Gu Qiwu knew that Mu Yuchen had left City Z. It had been so long, but he was not back yet. This fact alone did not make him relax. He felt uneasy instead!
