Chapter 514


    Ziyue heard the word ''Mr. Bai''.


    She considered briefly before approaching them and asked, "Were you talking about Jingshu?"


    "Yes, I tried to contact Mr. Bai but to no avail." Ziyue was unsure what the three men talked about, but


    she could see that Chuan was in a bad mood.


    Then, she recalled what Xia had said and looked at Muchen. "Xia called me just now. She said Jingshu


    returned to his ancestral home in Jingcheng City yesterday. There must be an important matter with his


    family. He called Xia after he got off the ne yesterday. Since then, Xia has been trying to contact him


    the whole day today but has been unsessful."


    Her words caused the three men to fall silent.


    Chuan and Muchen exchanged a nce. The atmosphere in the room turned tense.


    "What''s wrong?" Ziyue keenly sensed something was not right.


    However, no one answered her question.


    Muchen took a couple of steps forward and patted the top of her head. "That''s enough. It''ste. You


    should head back to rest."


    It was evident that the three menpleted their discussion during the brief period she left to answer


    the call. It seemed she was the only person who knew nothing about what had happened.


    At this moment, a police officer knocked on the door, creating harsh banging noises.


    He sounded impatient. "It''s time to leave. Why are you staying there so long? We are about to change


    shifts soon. You all better leave."


    "My apologies. We shall leave now." Yichen was the first to respond. After all, he frequently interacted


    with people like police officers.


    Muchen hugged Ziyue and quickly let her go. Then, he said calmly, "You should go home."


    After saying that, he turned around and stood before the wall again, just like it was when she came in


    just now. He stood there firmly and no longer paid attention to Ziyue and the rest.


    Ziyue could not understand why he had to stand facing the wall.


    Is he trying to meditate?


    However, before Ziyue could figure it out, a police officer urged them to leave.


    …


    Chuan briefly exined the matter to Ziyue on the return journey.


    A young woman died. The police suspected Muchen because he was thest person she called.


    Furthermore, her family also used him. The deceased young woman was a maid in Ziyue and


    Muchen''s home.


    It was the same maid Muchen wanted to dismiss for making the porridge too salty one morning. Her


    name was Lin Xiaofei.


    Ziyue even fought with Muchen over this matter. Later, she did not bring up the issue with him


    anymore. She even forgot about it as she was recently searching for the right preschool for Zixi.

    She was not sure whether Muchen dismissed Xiaofei.


    Now, it seemed he had indeed fired her.


    But why would she suddenly be dead?


    …


    Ziyue did not sleep well the whole night. She woke up a few times.


    After midnight, she was unable to fall back to sleep. Thus, she went to Zixi''s room to check on him. She


    was fascinated by how much his face resembled Muchen.


    It was nearly morning when she finally managed to sleep briefly.


    Still, she woke up early in the morning.


    She scrolled the news and found the news about Muchen still trending. In fact, it was trending even


    more after being left to stew the whole night.


    However, she could not be bothered to read thements.


    It was likely something like ''why do the wealthy always think they are above thew?'', ''he must be


    severely punished'', ''the rich has no regard for human life'', or other simr kinds of furious rants.


    However, this was a criminal case and not an entertainment matter. Thus, it would not be affected by


    the public''sments. The court would decide based on the evidence.


    Then, she recalled how Muchen kept reminding herst night to ignore Yuchuan and not believe


    anything he said.


    Does Muchen mean he would get dragged into this case? Since this matter spread so soon, could


    Yuchuan have something to do with it?


    But if Yuchuan is behind it, what is his purpose?


    Muchen''s rtionship with Yuchuan was unlike that of an ordinary grandfather and grandchild. She


    could not resist thinking about the worst-case scenarios whenever she considered this fact.


    Is it to make Muchen submit to his will? Or does he have other purposes?


    Yuchuan is an influential person. He has power and money.


    Even if Muchen was careful, Yuchuan has many more years of experience. If Yuchuan has a hand in


    this, then everything makes sense.


    That would exin how he could drag Muchen into a murder case without him noticing and speedily


    spread the news to the public.


    There are few people capable of such things. As far as I know, there is none in Yunzhou City.


    Ziyue felt a chill as she thought about the matter. She believed it was highly usible.


    Even though her emotions were a mess, she still remembered what Muchen had told her. She had to


    live life as usual.


    Thus, she needed to send Zixi to the preschool before heading to work. Furthermore, Xia mentioned


    she would like to see her.


    Later, Ziyue brought Zixi into the car. He nced around in the car before looking at Ziyue with


    confusion. "Daddy?"


    From his expression, Ziyue knew he was wondering why he had not seen Muchen since yesterday


    morning. He was asking where Muchen had gone to.


    Ziyue patted his head and answered gently, "Daddy has to be away for some matters. I''ll send you to


    preschool these days and pick you up after I finish work."


    Zixi looked at her. It was difficult to determine whether he understood her.


    Ziyue turned to look out of the window and felt at a loss.


    …


    After sending Zixi to the preschool, she headed to thepany.


    As expected, everyone in thepany saw the news and knew about the matter with Muchen.


    "Good morning, Director Su."


    "Director Su!"


    People greeted her politely when she entered thepany.


    However, they began to whisper amongst themselves as soon as she left.


    Ziyue deliberately slowed her step.


    "I thought Director Su wouldn''te to thepany today."


    "What do you know? Director Su knows how to keep up with appearance. She knows she must not


    hide during this situation. Otherwise, it will confirm her husband''s guilt."


    "Do you think she is pretending to be calm? Or is it true that the president of LK Group has been


    wrongly used?"


    "No one knows. We can only wait and see."


    "I think the matter is probably not true…"


    People continued to chatter.


    Ziyue took a deep breath and walked away inrge strides.


    When something like this happened to someone else, people would always be curious and specte


    about it. Such desire was present in everyone.


    Ziyue wondered if Muchen had thought something like this would happen. Perhaps that was why he


    told her to go to work as usual and live her life as normal.


    Still, some people had guessed correctly. She was pretending to be calm.


    But after she understood Muchen''s intention, she felt calmer.


    Then, Ziyue spent the whole day in thepany. She even asked Qingluo to help her get lunch.


    She left thepany early before the work hours ended.
