Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Discovered

Xia Ziyu had just stretched her neck to look in the direction of the garage entrance.

Yan Qianyi frowned, "No! He’s extremely suspicious; you can’t let him see you!"

"What am I supposed to do then? I can’t just dig a hole and crawl away."

Yan Qianyi glanced around and her gaze landed on the trunk of her car. Her eyes darkened, and she immediately dragged Xia Ziyu over.

"What are you doing? What are you trying to do?" Xia Ziyu struggled.

Yan Qianyi opened the trunk and directly pushed Xia Ziyu in, "Hide in here and don’t make a sound!"

"How am I supposed to hide in such a small trunk?"

"If my husband sees you, I assure you, you won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun."

After saying that, Yan Qianyi chopped her hand down on the back of Xia Ziyu’s neck.

Xia Ziyu’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

At the same time, Mu Yunlie’s car drove into the underground garage.

Yan Qianyi, calm and composed, stuffed Xia Ziyu’s arms and legs into the trunk and closed it, as if she were a seasoned criminal.

Being panicked right now would definitely give Mu Yunlie a hint that something was amiss.

After she finished, she calmly looked up at Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie was also looking at her from his car.

After he parked the car, she walked up to him with a slight smile.

"You’re back; I was just about to go out."

Mu Yunlie embraced her waist with a reluctant air, "I just got back and you’re going out."

"There’s something at the hospital that needs to be dealt with."

"Didn’t you already hire a professional manager? Why are you still so busy?"

"Some things need to be handled personally to be assured."

"When will you be back? I bought some meat that you like; I’ve asked Aunt Xue to prepare a feast tonight."

"I’ll be back for dinner."

"Alright then."

"So, I’m leaving now?"

Yan Qianyi turned to leave, but Mu Yunlie pulled her back by the waist, leaning closer.

Understanding his intention, she smiled, tiptoed, and kissed him on the cheek.

Mu Yunlie released her, satisfied, "Come back soon; I’ll be waiting for you."

"Okay!"

As she turned around, Yan Qianyi’s smile stiffened, and she forcefully exhaled.

Once in the car, she rolled down the window and sent Mu Yunlie a flying kiss with a smile.

Mu Yunlie watched her car drive away with a smile on his face.

Once her car had exited the garage, the smile on his face slowly faded. He turned to Ah Chang, "Pull up the surveillance here."

Ah Chang asked, "Why? Master, do you suspect something is wrong with Madam?"

Mu Yunlie’s brow furrowed, "Just do as I said. Why all the questions?"

Ah Chang seemed to be getting more opinionated by the minute!

The reason he wanted to check the surveillance was because he had noticed something off about her.

Ah Chang immediately carried out the order.

After a while, Ah Chang asked, "Master, Madam’s home security system is very sophisticated. If I hack in, she might detect it. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Mu Yunlie was surprised; Ah Chang’s intrusion could be detected?

Such advanced security systems were not available on the market.

This made him even more suspicious that she was hiding something.

A normal person, why would they have such strong security measures?

Mu Yunlie asked, "Will she detect someone hacking in, or will she detect it’s you hacking in?"

Ah Chang replied, "I don’t know that."

Mu Yunlie furrowed his brows in thought.

Previously, when he secretly acquired shares of Yan’s company, she had someone hack into his system to investigate him.

Although they hadn’t found anything, the person was quite skilled.

Could it be that the person also helped her with the security defense system here?

Indeed, they were a master hacker.

"Forget it," Mu Yunlie took the meat he’d bought from the car and carried it into the elevator.

Ah Chang asked, "Master, are you not checking anymore? I’m kind of curious."

Mu Yunlie didn’t respond, a strategically calculating smile fleeting across his lips.

He had other ways to investigate.

When Aunt Xue saw Mu Yunlie, she hesitated, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

"Son-in-law... did you just see the young miss? She just went out."

Mu Yunlie sensed something off about Aunt Xue.

Usually, when he visited, Aunt Xue would enthusiastically receive whatever he brought straight away.

But now, worry was evident in her eyes, making her forget to take the item he was carrying.

"I did," Mu Yunlie was about to put the items on a nearby table.

Then Aunt Xue reacted, quickly reaching out to take it, "I’ll take it."

Mu Yunlie smiled, "Aunt Xue, no need to be so nervous."

"I... I’m not nervous."

Aunt Xue was an honest person, not good at hiding her feelings.

Under Mu Yunlie’s sharp gaze, she immediately lowered her head in guilt.

Earlier, the young miss had specifically warned her not to mention Xia Ziyu to the son-in-law, fearing it would lead to misunderstandings.

Now Aunt Xue dared not speak, unsure whether Mu Yunlie had seen Xia Ziyu earlier.

Mu Yunlie said calmly, "I saw everything, it’s nothing."

Aunt Xue was startled. Seeing the slight smile on Mu Yunlie’s face and his gentle expression, she sighed in relief.

"It’s good that the son-in-law didn’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between the young miss and that man; I hope you two don’t argue over such a matter."

"That man?" Mu Yunlie raised an eyebrow, "So, she was hiding a man in her car?"

"Ah, this..." Aunt Xue was dumbfounded, mouth agape for a long time before she managed to say, "Son-in-law... didn’t you just say you saw everything?"

Mu Yunlie’s smile faded, his expression returning to its usual coldness.

When he had entered the garage earlier, he had seen her standing at the back of the car, fiddling with something.

He hadn’t been suspicious at first, but when she approached him with a forced smile, he knew something was amiss.

Having spent some time together, he could now tell whether her smiles were genuine.

Mu Yunlie didn’t answer Aunt Xue and instead sat down on the sofa.

Aunt Xue realized that she had been tricked into speaking by Mu Yunlie.

Seeing Mu Yunlie’s stern face, she was so frightened that she nearly cried, standing frozen in place.

Mu Yunlie turned to look at her, "Aren’t you going to explain on behalf of your young miss?"

Facing Mu Yunlie’s icy gaze, Aunt Xue shivered slightly and slowly approached.

She had already let something slip; she definitely needed to explain.

Otherwise, if her actions caused the young miss and the son-in-law to argue or even divorce, she would be overwhelmed with guilt.

"That... Son-in-law, it’s not what you think."

Aunt Xue cautiously started to explain.

"That man is a patient of the young miss. He’s in a very sad situation, suffering from a terminal disease and not expected to live long, and he has no money for treatment. That’s why he came seeking help. The young miss, being kind-hearted, felt too sorry for him and let him in. Just now, the young miss went out to take him to the hospital."

Mu Yunlie asked, "If he’s just a medical patient seeking help, why the secrecy?"

"The young miss said she was afraid that you would find out and misunderstand, possibly getting jealous."

Mu Yunlie chuckled coldly, "Would I get jealous over a sick patient?"

As if he were mad!
