Xi Xiaye instantly slipped away from Mu Yuchen’s lap and stood beside him when Li Si came in.
He swiftly went to Mu Yuchen’s table. “Master, Missus!”
“What’s the matter?”
A faint light flashed past Mu Yuchen’s quiet and sharp eyes. He was looking right at Li Si’s face.
Li Si bowed slightly as his anxious expression faded a little. He glanced at Xi Xiaye beside Mu Yuchen with a complicated expression while Xi Xiaye gave him a doubtful look as well, waiting for what he was about to say.
“Master, well…” Li Si was hesitant.
Xi Xiaye understood what Li Si meant. She took the flowers and said, “You guys can talk. I’ll go back down…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Yuchen grabbed her small hands and looked at Li Si. “You don’t have to, Xiaye. Just say it. She’s not an outsider anymore.”
Li Si nodded and quickly handed Mu Yuchen the document he had in his hand as he spoke quietly, “We’ve got urgent news from Ah Mo! The woman whom we suspected to be Gu Lingsha has gone missing. We checked with the immigration and realized she has already left Los Angeles, so…”
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as his expression turned cold as well. “Did you find out anything about Qi Feng?”
Mu Yuchen’s tone was still calm, but it was hard to not notice the hardness in his tone.
Li Si shook his head apologetically. “I’m sorry, Master. I haven’t found out anything about Qi Feng. Gu Lingsha doesn’t seem to be in contact with anyone. From what we know, she was pursuing a Master in Business and Administration at a university abroad, and she performed spectacularly in a huge company in Los Angeles. We investigated her social connections and didn’t find anything about Qi Feng. I suspect that Qi Feng didn’t go abroad, or he did but has since returned to City Z.”
Mu Yuchen glanced through the document. He took a deep breath as he felt a headache coming on. He leaned back against the chair and closed his eyes. Then, he went quiet for a long while with his eyes closed shut.
Xi Xiaye frowned.
Gu Lingsha was missing?
Qi Feng was still not found. With so many incidents lately, she felt very uneasy. She could not help but feel useless when she saw his depressed expression. However, she had no idea how to help, so she pressed her hands onto the back of his hand.
“You…” she said quietly while Li Si remained silent.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. “I’m fine.”
He raised his head and looked at Li Si as he gave it some thought. “Ask the people over there to return. Keep an eye on immigration over here. We can’t avoid what’s about to come.”
“Master, should we still investigate on Qi Feng?” Li Si asked doubtfully.
“No need. We’ve been passive all along, but this time, I want to reverse the roles. We’ll react to everything that they do. I want to see what they’re trying to achieve.”
Mu Yuchen analyzed as he took a sip from the cup of tea, “Get our people to return and keep an eye on things here as well as the Gu family’s movement. I don’t think they can stand up to the pressure unless Qi Feng has no intention of taking over Qi Kai and is willing to give it to Qi Lei. Otherwise, he would’ve returned sooner or later. Qi Feng is a very ambitious person. I believe he’ll be taking action soon. Otherwise, Qi Qiming’s actions so far would have been meaningless.”
Li Si nodded. “Yes, Master, I know what to do now!”
“How’s the investigation of the wedding banquet incident?”
“We found out that the people in the car Qi Lei followed that night are two thugs staying on North Bar Street.”
“North Bar Street? I remember that before Qi Kai went clean, that was where they were managing things, weren’t they?” Mu Yuchen squinted his eyes and looked at Li Si.
Li Si nodded. “Yes, Master! That was indeed their area before. I tried to look for those two people but didn’t manage to find them. They must’ve hidden somewhere if they were the ones who initiated that incident.”
“Does Qi Lei know what happened?” Mu Yuchen asked.
“Probably not. Because they were noticed, we noted the car plate number down, and when we found the car owner, we realized the car was stolen and we still can’t confirm the two people’s identities. We barely managed to find them after we asked Master Su Chen for help to look at the security camera footages.”
Li Si and the others spent a lot of effort figuring this out. Luckily, with full support from Su Chen, they were able to identify their identities.
“So, does that mean it might be Qi Qiming after all? But… This is impossible. I’ve never had any conflict with Qi Kai or Qi Qiming, so there’s no reason for him to go after me.” Xi Xiaye was confused.
“Could it be because of Fu Hua?”
That felt odd as well. Shen Yue hardly invited any guests at the wedding, and only a handful of people knew she was Shen Yue’s granddaughter. Moreover, Shen Yue and Qi Qiming were both very low-profile, and they were not connected in any way.
Xi Xiaye looked at Mu Yuchen who closed his eyes and did not say a thing.
After some time, he sat up straight and looked at Li Si. “You can go and do as I instructed for now.”
“Yes, Master!” Li Si gave a brief reply and left quietly.
Only Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye remained in the office.
Mu Yuchen suddenly stood up and walked towards the window to peer outside at the evening sky. It was getting dark, and clouds were afloat in the vast sky. It was a peaceful scenery to gaze at.
“Are you alright?” Xi Xiaye went beside him and gave him a concerned look.
He turned towards her with a smile and put his arms over her shoulder.
