Mu Yuchen could easily detect the shock in Gu Qiwu’s eyes, yet he obviously did not miss the hint of bitter disdain in his expression either.

Gu Qiwu nonchalantly set his sungla.s.ses on the newspapers beside him and looked up at Mu Yuchen and nodded without denying it. “That’s right. That was one of the estates the Hui Gu Corporation invested in, but now the government has already withdrawn it to build a new residential area and office buildings.”

“I know. I went there to check on it this morning. My aunt used to have a place in the Xiang She residences. Did you know about that?” Mu Yuchen continued to ask.

“Your aunt? Mu Zi?” Gu Qiwu chuckled with a lukewarm att.i.tude while he leaned back against the chair with a wry smile on his face. “Would you know every single person you sold a product to?”

“In the same respect, do you think I would know?”

The light in Gu Qiwu’s eyes seemed to mock Mu Yuchen as he held up his coffee for a drink. He lowered his head and said, “Do you think I don’t know that your people were in front of the Gu residence for the whole night? Can you explain what exactly you’re trying to do? Why did you visit this time?”

“I want to see if you were home, Uncle Gu. I heard that you’re quite hard to meet. Coincidentally, there was something I wanted to understand from you. Are you satisfied with this explanation?” Mu Yuchen lowered his body slightly to explain. Then, he straightened up and appeared relaxed and elegant.

“Mu Yuchen, you should know that I’m the kind of person who hates others playing dumb with me. Six years ago, when Shasha made her escape, she was wrong, but you gave orders to chase after them. In turn, you caused the tragedy to happen. That’s a fact, so I hope that you can fix your att.i.tude a little.”

“My att.i.tude has always been very proper. It was you lot who wanted to cause trouble. My aunt seemed to have been quite good friends with you in the past. Would you not have known that she bought an expensive place in a residential area you invested in? If you were me, would you believe that?”

“It’s up to you whether you’d like to believe me or not. Mu Yuchen, since Mu Zi has pa.s.sed away for many years now, the fact that you’re raising this again right now is suspicious. Today, I’ve come to meet you just to let you know that you’d better exercise restraint. City B is not City Z. This is my turf. Knowing too much about some things might not necessarily be a good thing unless you’d like to give up on your peaceful days to come.”

Gu Qiwu slowly stood up and took the sungla.s.ses from the side to put on as he said, “I already know about your collaboration with Qi Lei. Not bad, Mu Yuchen, you have a right to challenge me,” he said this before walking to the door.

“Mr. Wen?”

At this moment, Mu Yuchen suddenly called out to Gu Qiwu’s back, yet the man did not seem to hear him and just walked out of the door.

Mu Yuchen watched Gu Qiwu slowly vanish out of the door. After a long while, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

…

On their flight back to City Z, Zhou Zimo examined Mu Yuchen who fell silent for a long while, finally he could not help but ask, “What did Gu Qiwu say to you? Why do I feel like you’re behaving a little fishy right now?”

Mu Yuchen took a deep breath, and could not help but ma.s.sage the tired s.p.a.ce between his brows as he said calmly, “He knows that I ordered people to trail and investigate him. While he didn’t say anything, I feel like he was testing me.”

“Testing you?” Zhou Zimo frowned in confusion. “Why would you say that? Testing you about what?”

“I can’t be sure. Gu Qiwu’s a very unfathomable person, so it won’t be easy for me to guess what he’s thinking. I have no idea what he’s trying to do. I asked him about Xiang She Residences, but he acted all nonchalant, so I can’t be sure of his true feelings. I can’t see through him,” Mu Yuchen said, as he closed his eyes.

“No wonder you looked defeated, but you don’t have to worry too much. As long as there are some clues, we can continue investigating, so don’t worry. The only thing I’m confused about is why Doris wanted to chase after that person who bid for that pen too. Was their aim also that pen? Or was it just a pure coincidence?”

“There are not that many coincidences in this world. If we want to clarify these things, we’ll have to first find out that person’s ident.i.ty, and which side of the power they’re representing, but right now we can find a breakthrough from Doris’s end. This time, at the auction, I could vaguely sense something unusual. At the auction, Doris and Gu Lingsha seemed to only bid for that pen. They didn’t bid for anything else after that, so I came up with a hypothesis. Could this mother-daughter pair have come just for the pen, while also knowing that the person who’d compete with them would definitely come? This could also explain why the moment that man left the auction since they would immediately chase him too.”

Mu Yuchen began to piece things together as he squinted his profound eyes and began to a.n.a.lyze the facts with Zhou Zimo.

“If that’s the case, then Gu Lingsha probably didn’t bid for that pen for Lingtian’s sake. It should’ve been for something else, or maybe they know a story behind the pen. That’s why they didn’t spare the cost just to get that pen.”

“Perhaps the person I should’ve met was Doris and not Gu Qiwu.”

“Forget it. Let’s not alert the enemy first. Let Ah Bao continue to lurk around. I’m sure we’ll soon be able to find out the ins and outs of those people.”

With a nod, Mu Yuchen felt his heart become a little heavy as he began to have a bad feeling, but he hoped that all of this was just wild speculation.

“We’ll have to wait for Ah Bao to find out more about that person, but I believe that it won’t take too long.”

He stopped thinking about it before turning to look out the window to watch the coiled clouds that filled the sky. Suddenly, his mind flashed with Xi Xiaye’s beautiful and elegant little face.

At this moment, in Xi Xiaye’s ward in Hospital T, Su Nan came over to visit.

“I thought that I’d have a son, and offer him to your daughter, but who would’ve thought that it would flip the other way around? But, seriously, he’s got excellent genes. It’s only been a few days, and I can vaguely see that your son’s a copy of Mu Yuchen. With those eyes, that mouth, and that nose, they look so similar. Don’t you think so? Even Director Zhuang said that the baby looks exactly like Mu Yuchen when he was younger. In another 20 years, he’ll be another excellent and dashing gentleman. Sigh, Xiaye, can you reserve him for our Xiao Xi?”
