Chapter 720 The Inevitable Had Finally Happened

An advantage of speaking to someone like Yunan was that Ziyue didn't need to beat around the bush.

Yunan was smart. He must have guessed why Ziyue was looking for him when Jingshu had called him.

Getting straight to the point with Ziyue meant he didn't plan to beat around the bush.

Ziyue's expression turned slightly cold. She said, "Few knew about my divorce. And among those people, you're the most likely to leak the news."

Yunan laughed when he heard it.

"That's right. It was me."

Ziyue was momentarily startled at his candid confession.

But she quickly came to her senses. "How does it benefit you by doing such a thing?"

"It doesn't, but it benefits you. I only did such a thing for the big picture." Yunan's expression finally turned solemn.

Ziyue was about to say something when Yunan interrupted her. "No matter your excuse, you can't deny that setting boundaries with Muchen is the best approach."

"I don't need others to tell me what is best for Muchen and me. I came to see you today because I hope you can pay less attention to my private affairs in the future, Mr. Bai." Ziyue's face was tinged with concealed rage.

She really wanted to lose her temper at Yunan.

However, if she did so, things would become troublesome.

"Your relationship with Muchen isn't merely your private affair. I'm sure you know full well that those in Gricy have entered the country again. Don't you know what their motives are?"

Ziyue's hands slowly clenched.

Yunan saw her quiet and knew that his words had impacted her.

When he spoke, he was silently threatening her. "I'm sure you don't need me to list the people around you who are related to Gricy."

Ziyue suddenly raised her head to look at him. Yunan had stood up and slowly straightened his clothes. He slowly said, "I'm different from those inflexible old geezers. I think many had no other choice. What do you think, Miss Su?"

Ziyue pursed her lips and forced a smile. Her voice was slightly understanding. "I agree."

"That's good, then. We are friends no matter what. Feel free to contact me if you need me for anything." Yunan looked at her meaningfully before he turned to leave.

Jingshu came in after Yunan left.

Jingshu frowned when he saw Ziyue's poor complexion. He asked, "What did my brother say to you? Why do you look ill?!"

"It's nothing. I'm feeling slightly unwell, so I'm going to leave." Ziyue stood up and smiled at him before turning to leave.

On the way back, Ziyue couldn't calm down.

Yunan's words were evidently targeted at someone.

To be specific, they were targeted at the people around her who were related to Gricy.

The only person she was close to in Gricy was Shichu.

Regardless of how Shichu had joined Gricy, he had committed outrageous acts for Gricy. However, she knew Shichu wasn't actually malicious. She didn't want him to be punished.

However, regardless of her thoughts, Yunan could capture Shichu if Yunan wanted to.

She admitted that she was selfish. She didn't want Shichu to be punished and hoped he would live the rest of his life healthily and peacefully.

If he was captured, he couldn't avoid imprisonment.

What Yunan meant was clear.

Without a doubt, he had discovered a lot about Gricy, and he had even found Shichu.

Furthermore, he looked very confident.

He wanted Ziyue to work with him.

Just like Ziyue, he suspected Yuchuan.

But Muchen had said nothing nor declared his position until now.

It was impossible that he knew nothing and didn't suspect Yuchuan. Muchen wasn't a fool.

After ruling out all possibilities, there was only one reason why he kept his silence and said nothing. He had his own apprehensions.

After all, no matter what despicable identity Yuchuan had, he was Muchen's biological grandfather.

Yuchuan and Muchen admired each other's abilities, but they were also vigilant against each other.

If Yuchuan was really Lagos, the leader of Gricy, he would be punished by the law after it was revealed. It would be impossible for him to have a way out.

His crime was too severe.

Ziyue's imagination ran wild on the way back. She took double the time to return to Cloud Bay.

She didn't leave the vehicle immediately when she parked at the villa's entrance.

She sat in the car for a long time before she opened the car door and exited.

After exiting the car, she turned to shut the door. As she held the door handle, she suddenly felt an icy feeling on the back of her hand.

Upon looking up, she saw snowflakes swirling and falling from the sky.

Ziyue had a delighted expression. It hadn't snowed in Yunzhou City for many years.

The uneasiness in her heart seemed to instantly vanish at this moment.

She ran into the villa as she called Muchen's name.

"Muchen, it's snowing!"

She looked like an ecstatic child with her excited expression.

When she was in the villa, the servants told her, "Mr. Qin just left."

"He left..." The joy on Ziyue's face dimmed. She asked, "Where did he go?"

"I'm not sure."

"What about Zixi?" She could still look for her son if Muchen wasn't around.

It snowed the whole day and even through the night.

A thick layer of snow covered the courtyard. The sky was dark after Ziyue and Zixi made a snowman, but Muchen still wasn't home.

Ziyue started to feel uneasy.

She called Muchen. The call connected, but no one answered.

She held her cell phone as she walked to the window. It was still snowing, and her heart sank.

However, she wasn't sure if she was being too sensitive because many things had happened recently or if something had really happened.

In the middle of the night, Ziyue woke up from a nightmare and realized Muchen still wasn't home.

She got up, turned the lights on with a heavy expression, and started instructing her subordinates to look for Muchen.

Muchen had been out the whole day and still hadn't returned. It was the middle of the night. Something must have happened.

Other than worry, she also felt like the inevitable had finally happened.

When it was almost dawn, Zixi woke up. Ziyue dressed Zixi and made breakfast before telling him, "Zixi, Mommy needs to work. You must stay home and be a good boy while Mommy is out, okay?"

Zixi nodded obediently. "Mm."

Ziyue kissed his forehead and left.

She walked to the door and was about to enter the car when she noticed a Jeep parked behind her.

At the next moment, Yunan exited the car with a relaxed expression. "Get into my car. Let's go look for Muchen."

It was clear that he had been waiting for a long time.
