Chapter 326
Standing behind Qin Muchen to his right, Nan Chuan looked up, trying to observe his expression cautiously but all he could see was his jaw which looked tense. After a while, Qin Muchen stuffed the paper back into the parcel and turned around to ask him, “When was this delivered here?”
“I received it last night.” After that, he added, “But, I couldn’t find out who the sender was.” That was exactly what made Nan Chuan realize the significance of the parcel, which prompted him to call up Qin Muchen and ask him to make a trip over.
“In any case, you have to keep this a secret. On top of that, you have to find out about the sender.” Then, Qin Muchen tossed the parcel onto the table casually and said, “Destroy it.”
It seemed like something had just dawned upon him when he asked Nan Chuan, “Do you have any updates on Lee Yannan?”
Nan Chuan answered in a slightly puzzled tone, “He’s in China but I have yet to locate him.”
“Expand the scope of the search then.” Upon giving out the instruction, Qin Muchen turned around and left at a hasty pace. Su Ziyue was waiting for him to have lunch.
Nan Chuan acknowledged behind him, “Yes.”
…
Su Ziyue pulled a chair next to her where Beef immediately made a leap and sat on it obediently,
looking ready for lunch. Stunned, she stroked its head and chuckled. “How did you know that the chair is for you?” she asked. Beef then brushed its head against her hands in an affectionate way.
At that juncture, Qin Muchen pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Hey,” Su Ziyue greeted him as she looked up and saw him. He cast a glance at Beef with his brows raised. Noticing this, she asked, “You must have been indulging Beef all these while, haven’t you?” Pointing at Beef, she continued, “It sat on the chair on its own accord even before I gave any commands.”
Covering his mouth and clearing his throat uneasily, Qin Muchen said, “Nan Chuan was too busy to take care of it and there was no one else I could entrust Beef to. So, I have been taking care of it when I was in Yunzhou City.” Although he too acknowledged the fact that he had been indulging the dog too much, he felt that it deserved such treatment in addition to how much Su Ziyue adored it.
Su Ziyue couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she pictured scenes of Qin Muchen bringing Beef along with him to attend meetings, work discussions, and dinner with clients. While Beef looked silly in an adorable way, Qin Muchen appeared stern and steady; the duo made a rather weird combination.
…
When they were on their way back after lunch, they bumped into some people of the Su Family at the lobby. Although Yunzhou City was huge, there was only one Lumiere Jade House. Therefore, it was easy to run into acquaintances by hanging out there. Stending behind Qin Muchen to his right, Nen Chuen looked up, trying to observe his expression ceutiously but ell he could see wes his jew which looked tense.

on odoroble woy, Qin Muchen oppeored stern ond steody; the duo mode o rother weird combinotion.
…
When they were on their woy bock ofter lunch, they bumped into some people of the Su Fomily ot the lobby. Although Yunzhou City wos huge, there wos only one Lumiere Jode House. Therefore, it wos eosy to run into ocquointonces by honging out there.
“Ziyue!” Su Yuanming was the first who called out her name.
Su Ziyue looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Lisha right away. She was Su Yuanming’s wife as well as Xu Youran’s elder sister. Sensing her stare on herself, Xu Lisha flashed Su Ziyue a subtle smile. Then, Su Ziyue cast her eyes downward and landed her gaze on a little boy whose hand Xu Lisha was holding. The little boy, whose age seemed to be around one year old, was fiddling with a toy gun in his hands and mumbling by himself at the same time. She stared at him for about two seconds before looking away.
Despite feeling irritated for being ignored by Su Ziyue, Su Yuanming still maintained a smile when he spoke, “You should come back home and have a meal with us when you’re free since you’ve already been back for quite some time.”
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ll surely make time to go back.” There was no doubt she was going to make a trip back to Su Residence one day. However, she would do more than just to have a meal there; she would make sure the ugly side of everyone in the family was revealed.
Su Yuanming looked awkward in response to Su Ziyue’s offensive tone, but it was inappropriate of him to get angry with her because he was careful not to offend Qin Muchen.
Qin Muchen, who was standing behind Su Ziyue, looked glum and slightly impatient. He placed his arm on her shoulder then looked at Su Yuanming with an impassive face. “Mr. Su, is there anything else we can help you with?” he asked.
Su Yuanming quickly answered him, “There’s nothing else. Mr. Qin, if you happen to be free…”
“I’m very busy.” With that, Qin Muchen walked away with Su Ziyue. Those people from the Su family were indeed unbearable.
Inside the car, Qin Muchen was driving whereas Su Ziyue was playing with Beef. It was sitting at the back passenger seat, sticking out its head curiously through the space between the two front seats. Su Ziyue clasped its mouth together to stop it from barking, causing Beef to keep shaking its head vigorously.
While waiting at a junction for the traffic lights to turn green, Qin Muchen drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. After much contemplation, he asked, “Have you any idea about how Su Group has been faring over the past two years?”
Su Ziyue looked up at him and echoed, “Su Group?”
Trying to catch any changes in her expression, Qin Muchen spoke slowly, “Someone has been setting booby traps in Su Group.”
“Who?” Su Ziyue put on a more solemn look as it was only then did she become keenly interested to know more about the matter.
With his lips pursed, Qin Muchen mulled it over and decided to be honest with her. “It’s Feng Xingyan.”
“That’s my uncle!” Su Ziyue looked affronted and punished him with a knock on his head.
Frowning slightly, Qin Muchen challenged her in a tone brimming with displeasure, “Did you just hit me because of another man?”
“Well… that’s my uncle we’re talking about,” she drawled after some hesitation.
Was it necessary? Feng Xingyan was her uncle and it was obvious that Qin Muchen was trying to stir up trouble for no apparent reason.
“Is he? Does he treat you well?” So much so that he deliberately kept her hidden from Qin Muchen to prevent him from locating her? In fact, he knew many things that Su Ziyue had no means to know. At the moment, he was speculating the purposes behind Feng Xingyan’s plans. However, he had had no luck in finding any concrete proof so far which could shed more light on his motives. In his opinion, Feng Xingyan was not an ordinary guy. He even had a premonition that he would be involved in a face- to-face clash with him in the future. Therefore, before that time would come, he needed to do some basic understanding of how Feng Xingyan was under Su Ziyue’s impression.
Without hesitation, she answered him, “He treats me well.”
Qin Muchen snorted icily then turned his head back and ignored her. She then poked his face with a finger and cajoled, “Alright, no one could compare to how well you treat me.”
She saw a smile curled upward at the corners of his lips as soon as she said that. Deep down inside, she wondered why she didn’t realize how easy it was to pacify him back then. But, based on what heThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
just said…
“Why is he tampering with the Su Group?” She believed what Qin Muchen said was true but she couldn’t understand why Feng Xingyan would do something like that.
Qin Muchen answered her with his brows raised, “I’ve no idea.”
As Su Ziyue shot him a baleful glance, her phone rang before she could speak any further. She took her phone out and saw that the call happened to be from Feng Xingyan. Qin Muchen turned sideways and caught sight of the caller ID shown on the screen of her phone.
She picked it up and greeted, “Uncle Xingyan.”
On the other side, Feng Xingyan was standing by the boarding gate in Jingcheng City Airport followed by his assistant and bodyguard. After taking a glance at the people standing in line ahead of him, he spoke casually, “I’m boarding the flight to Yunzhou City now. Yes, I’ll arrive in the afternoon.”
He ended the call after giving more information to Su Ziyue. Then, he handed his phone to his subordinates behind him before taking his own sweet time smoothing out the creases on his shirt. Suddenly, his friendly eyes turned sharp and menacing at once. Yunzhou City, Qin Muchen, Gong Shuzhe as well as the Su Family… Things are going to get interesting from now on.
