For example, how did she get into his room? And who took her away from his room? Besides him and her, was there a third person in this world who knew they were together that night?
For instance, since Yan Zhen had booked the entire venue, why didn't he show up to celebrate her birthday? And why did he and Yuan Yaer come to find Yuan Xi with reporters the next day?
Another example, who exactly arranged Xiong Han? And was it true or false that he promised to facilitate the business deal between Guan Baocheng and the Xu family?
However, he believed that as long as the investigation continued, these questions would be answered one day.
"Next, I want you to do four things. First, find this reporter and bring him to Haicheng to see me." Yan Yincheng's voice was extremely cold. The killing intent in his tone gave Wei Shu goosebumps.
"Second, compile a list of the guests who attended Yuan Xi's birthday banquet. Track them down and find out everything that happened that night. In particular, don't miss any details of what happened between Ji Xinyue and Yuan Xi."
"Third, keep a close eye on Yuan Yaer and Yan Zhen. Make sure their wedding goes smoothly."
"What about the fourth thing?" A Qiang asked.
Yan Yincheng thought for a moment and said, "Fourth, make the news of Guan Baocheng's disappearance public. After Yan Zhen and Yuan Yaer's wedding, create an opportunity for Guan Baocheng to 'escape' so that he can continue to act as 'bait'."
"Yes, Third Master!"
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yincheng fell silent. He sat there quietly, looking extremely dejected. Seeing that his state seemed to have reverted to when his identity was first exposed, Wei Shu couldn't help but feel worried.
"Third Master, judging from what happened tonight, Miss Yuan's attitude towards you hasn't improved. Instead, it's worse than before. This time, she didn't even want to listen to your explanation. Is it still meaningful for you to continue this investigation? Even if she finds out, she won't appreciate you. She might even think you're uncovering her wounds."
Yan Yincheng was silent for a long time before saying, "At least it can ease my conscience and let me have fewer nightmares."
Wei Shu asked, "Are you really going to quit?"
"Of course not." Yan Yincheng replied. He paused and said in a low voice, "I was just saying those words out of anger. How could I be willing to quit? Don't worry. I won't be like before. I just need some time alone."
Wei Shu heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his Third Master would starve himself for days again. His stomach was already weak and couldn't take such torture. Come to think of it, since Miss Yuan left, the Third Master really hadn't had a proper meal for a long time. He had lost a lot of weight.
Sighing silently, Wei Shu said, "I'll go back first. Third Master, if you need anything, just give me a call. I'll come right away."
He looked back at the man sitting on the sofa every few steps before finally closing the door gently.
After Wei Shu left, Yan Yincheng got up and walked to the window. He leaned on the window sill and stared blankly outside. Although he couldn't see, he knew that at this moment, she was right across the way, in that room, cuddling with their two children. When would he be able to regain the warmth and healing he had once felt?
He stood there for a long time, until his heart was completely calm. Then he left the window, returned to the bedroom, and lay down fully clothed. He fumbled for his phone and clicked on the number set as the top shortcut contact.
Since his identity was exposed, he had never dared to call this number. He was afraid of hearing the cold electronic prompt indicating that the line was always busy, which meant she had blocked his contact information and never wanted him to find her again.
"Please stay away from me! Don't cause me unnecessary trouble and disputes!"
The words she had said during the day still rang in his ears. Just thinking about them made his heart ache suddenly. Did his approach, his kindness, and everything he had done really only bring her trouble and disputes?
But if he didn't do this, what else could he do?
For some reason, she often gave him the illusion that she was very far away from him and might disappear at any time. He had to hold on to her tightly so that she wouldn't drift further and further away from him.
Let him be a despicable and selfish person.
Just have a good sleep and cheer up tomorrow.
He and she couldn't just let things end like this.
He fumbled to type a line of words on the keyboard, clicked send without thinking, then closed his eyes, put on his headphones, and listened to the piano pieces she had played, forcing himself to fall asleep.
He thought this message would disappear without a trace, but the blind man couldn't see that there was no little red dot indicating a failed send in front of the message on the screen. Instead, it was successfully sent.
"Buzz, buzz." Xu Zixi had just finished bathing the two kids when she felt her phone in her pocket vibrate twice.
She thought it was just some junk text message, so she ignored it.
It wasn't until she had successfully lulled the two kids to sleep that she had time to pick up her phone. Then she saw that a text message had been sent from that familiar number.
"Sorry I was wrong please forgive me good night have a good dream"
This long string of words didn't even have a single punctuation mark. It was extremely difficult to read. It should be because the person who typed it wasn't used to separating words, for he was blind.
Xu Zixi didn't notice that the corners of her mouth were unconsciously curving upwards, and the anger that had been lingering in her heart vanished when she saw these words.
In fact, she was the one who should have apologized tonight. But since he was so sensible, she'd reluctantly forgive him for secretly asking Zhou Yaru about her whereabouts.
She lay down beside the kids and closed her eyes.
She had a good night's sleep.
Hu Yuankang had already taken Zhou Yaru home once, so this time he didn't need to ask for her address. He drove her to her doorstep smoothly.
"Thanks, Brother Hu. Bye." Zhou Yaru said to Hu Yuankang with a big smile. Then she opened the door and got out of the car. Just as she was about to walk towards her home, she heard the sound of a car door closing and someone getting out behind her.
"Hey, Zhou." Hu Yuankang called out to Zhou Yaru. She stopped and turned around. She saw Hu Yuankang holding out a well - thumbed comic book.
"I found your comic book. Now I'm returning it to you."
Zhou Yaru snorted and stepped forward to get her stuff back. However, when she grabbed the comic book and pulled, it didn't move. She pulled again, but still couldn't get it. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked up and said, "Hu, what do you mean?!"
Hu Yuankang grinned and stared at her meaningfully. "I snatched this comic book from you back then. Look, I'm returning it to you now. I also hope you'll understand that some things don't belong to you. So don't try to take them away from others, or you might end up getting your just deserts."
