Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Xiaosheng (6)

"I know, Auntie." Su Yixia’s eyes were red as if she was about to cry. Never had she imagined the consequences would come to this. If there was a chance to do it all over again —

"I’m telling you, you’d better think of something fast. Our grandma seems to be looking for someone else."

Su Yixia was taken aback. Her thoughts were not as simple as Xiao Shuju’s. This meant the old lady didn’t acknowledge Gu Nuan, but it wasn’t that she wasn’t finding another woman for Xiao Yebai; she simply didn’t acknowledge Su Yixia either.

For Su Yixia, it was as if her chances were completely gone.

It was obvious who was to blame for all this!

If she couldn’t have it her way, neither would the other party! Worst comes to worst, they would both be destroyed!

"Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely speed things up!"

"Mm-hmm." Xiao Shuju intended to give her a bit more confidence. "I just met your Aunt Ou, Mrs. Ou. She said she hasn’t met you before but has heard a lot about you and has confidence in you."

Ou Chunhua? She had hopes for her too? Besides being shocked, Su Yixia suddenly gripped her phone tightly.

When Gu Nuan got off work and arrived at the subway station entrance, she looked around to make sure no one was around and saw Sister Yao’s car pull up.

Sister Yao rolled down the window and waved at her.

Gu Nuan walked over, opened the rear car door, and sat inside the vehicle.

The advantage of Changda being located in the suburbs was the sparse population, meaning fewer eyes and less chance of being caught in a mixed crowd.

Once Gu Nuan was inside the car, she immediately saw a child’s backpack on the rear seat.

It was Sister Yao’s son’s school bag, a Mickey Mouse one, which Sister Yao used for their plan. She emptied it of her son’s textbooks and stationery to fill it with Fang Yongxing’s things.

Speaking of this, Gu Nuan did as Fang Yongxing had instructed; she retrieved the hidden key from under Fang Yongxing’s office desk. Knowing she would certainly be watched, she handed it over to Sister Yao, who was entrusted to retrieve the items.

Sister Yao went to the company’s storage room, found the secret compartment, unlocked it with the key, and transferred everything inside to her son’s backpack.

Why didn’t Fang Yongxing hide the key on his person or at home? Hiding it on his person, especially now as with Fang Yongxing’s situation, the key could easily be exposed if something went wrong. And at home, Fang Yongxing was worried about his wife, a simple housewife unskilled in schemes and deception, falling easily into traps set by others.

Indeed, ever since Fang Yongxing’s incident, Mrs. Fang had been receiving calls from people in the company. Some callers, seemingly with good intentions, would ask her odd questions. Fortunately, though Mrs. Fang was not versed in deceitful tactics, she was also totally ignorant of her husband’s work. When asked, she naturally couldn’t answer, leaving the inquirers disgruntled and without success.

What exactly had Fang Yongxing hidden away?

After opening the Mickey Mouse backpack, Gu Nuan found a pile of recorded CDs.

In this day and age, CDs had almost vanished, with most data storage and transfers handled by USB drives, hard drives, or even encrypted cloud storage.

Seeing these CDs now invoked a feeling of heavy historical significance.

Sister Yao, having likely seen them before, said, "Hey, who knows if they can still be played? They’ve been stored for so long, they might be damaged already."

It is indeed true that CDs are not easy to preserve. Due to environmental factors such as humidity and physical damage, the degradation of the disks can accelerate, leading to direct data loss.

Moreover, recovering data from recorded CDs is much more difficult than from hard drives, or so it’s said.
