Mu Yuchen paused, then nodded. “Thank you, Father, Mother!”

They could hear the gloominess in his tone. Mu Tangchuan then looked up at him and smiled. “Alright, these are our responsibilities after all. You shouldn’t be the one who takes it all on.”

Then, he turned to his wife, Zhuang Shurong, who was steeping tea. “Ah Rong, go get that case file from the middle drawer at my work desk.”

Zhuang Shurong served the two of them tea before walking over and bringing the file over to hand to him.

Mu Tangchuan glanced at Mu Yuchen and indicated for him to take it. Mu Yuchen played the black chess piece in hand before taking it. After he opened it and had a look, his handsome face flushed with tenderness.

Mu Tangchuan sighed slightly before he said, “Your mother and I can only do so much. These old cases are considered confidential. There are too few clues, so if you want to investigate again, it won’t be easy. I understand what you’re trying to do, so I don’t want to alert anyone else either. You’ve got to play your own cards well.”

“Don’t worry, Father, Mother. I’ll do my best, and the two of you don’t need to interfere as well.”

“Mmm, thank you for your hard work. For Doris and Gu Qiwu’s matter, your mother and I know about it. That child isn’t Gu Qiwu’s, is it?”

Mu Tangchuan was not a fool either. He knew some things, so it was no surprise that he could detect that something was fishy.

Mu Yuchen nodded and answered calmly, “Mmm, it’s not. Because of this, Gu Qiwu and Doris had a fallout. Doris wants to use Gu Qiwu and Aunt’s matter to get ahead. With both your wits, I think you can figure out her reason, so I won’t explain anymore.”

Upon hearing that, Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong exchanged a look. After a while, the husband and wife nodded knowingly.

“With your hints, we get it.”

“Ah Chen, I know that you have your own way of dealing with things, but I hope you can take care of yourself. I’m worried that Doris will go after you. You should know that she isn’t a nice one. She might act out in anger. She’s not a woman that plays by the rules, and her tricks are vicious too. Since she dares to go against Gu Qiwu, she must have something up her sleeve, and if she escapes abroad, it will be hard for us to work with.”

At this point, Mu Tangchuan could not help but frown worriedly. He picked his tea up to take a sip while his eyes remained on the chessboard before him. “In fact, I’ve roughly looked through her background. I realize that most of her networks are abroad. You should know that we’ve got limited capabilities. Given a situation like hers, it’s not easy to handle.”

“Your father’s right, so you have to be careful. Also, even if you want to investigate because you have doubts about the incident from six years ago, you have to be careful. Don’t alert anyone else. Got it?” Zhuang Shurong said earnestly, her eyes filled with concern.

“Don’t worry, Father, Mother. It’s not the first time I’m doing these things. I’ll take good care of myself, Xiaye, and the rest.” Mu Yuchen laughed softly while the smile on his face was slightly strained as he played the next move.

Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong exchanged a look, nodded, and then felt more relieved.

He thought about it before deciding to tell Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong about this news, “Gu Qiwu’s not in great health this morning. He was sent to the hospital. Li Si’s waiting for news at the hospital.”

“For someone like him, even if he’s gotten some kind of chronic illness, he doesn’t deserve pity. Not only did he ruin Zixi’s life, but Lingtian and Lings.h.i.+ were also implicated. He wouldn’t even acknowledge his own daughter, so how can he call himself a man?!” Zhuang Shurong’s cold voice was sharp and unkind.

Mu Tangchuan thought about it before he said, “I think that he’s just worried about the whole thing being exposed. From another perspective, even if he acknowledged Lings.h.i.+, it may not be a good thing.”

“Do you still pity him? Think about how Zixi…I’ll never forget that scene. You won’t understand how cruel it was for Mother who had to witness it personally!”

“Alright, Ah Yong. Let’s not bring this up anymore.” Mu Tangchuan dared not recall that scene. It was too tragic!

“I’ve witnessed Doris’s capabilities. She’s a handful. Back when Gu Lingsha vanished after the car accident, she came to look for your grandmother once, but she wasn’t home, so I entertained her. She doesn’t like me, so you’ll have to be more vigilant.” Mu Yuchen nodded with some thoughts of his own.

He did not stay too long, so they could not finish the chess game. Mu Tangchuan’s secretary came over to remind him about a meeting, so he left.

…

When Mu Yuchen called Xi Xiaye to wrap up with work, she thought it was weird.

It was close to the evening at the moment. The warm, golden light engulfed the whole place while the evening breeze blew gently.

“Why did you finish work so early? I wasn’t done with some doc.u.ments yet!” Xi Xiaye had just gotten into the car when Mu Yuchen, who sat in the driver’s seat, leaned over to help her put on the safety belt.

“It was almost time. You can just finish them tomorrow. I have something to talk to you about.”

“What is it? You’re being all mysterious!” Xi Xiaye shot him a look while he already picked up a thick file to hand to her. His profound gaze was filled with gloominess as he said, “Take a look at this first. What you’ll have to do later is related to this.” Then, he closed the car window.

Stunned, she opened it and took out those thick doc.u.ments before beginning to browse through them while Mu Yuchen started the car very quickly.

They were details of the car accident six years ago. There were even detailed notes from some of the people involved, a survey of the crime scene, and many photos of the scene!

When she saw photos of the dripping blood and mutilated body, Xi Xiaye’s beautiful face immediately turned pale. Her starry eyes could not hide how frightened she was!

Those terrifying photos…

They were photos of when Mu Lingtian had been carried out after he died.

Xi Xiaye looked at them and could not help but shudder. She did not quite dare to keep on looking, so she took quick breaths and turned to look at the man who was silently driving.

“Don’t be afraid. That’s Lingtian.” His lowered voice had a hint of comfort.
