Chapter 313: Chapter 313: A Girl’s Thoughts

Yun Mu left the school and arrived at the entrance of a hotel.

He looked around, ensuring that no one was following him before entering the hotel.

Not long after he entered, Yan Qianyi also walked into the same hotel.

Yun Mu arrived at suite 1908 on the nineteenth floor, gently knocked three times, and the door opened.

Just as he stepped inside, Yan Qianyi reached the nineteenth floor and knocked on the door of the neighboring room.

A perfect miss.

Inside suite 1908.

Yun Mu placed a bag of snacks he was carrying on the table, "Brought you some snacks."

Yan Chuhua came over, as though she had received a beautiful gift, and happily started eating a packet of chips.

Yun Mu sat down next to her, his gaze tenderly watching her eat the chips, "Really not planning to tell Xiaoguang and Qianyi? They are both very worried about you."

Yan Chuhua pondered with a chip in her mouth.

"Xue Xiaoguang is a big mouth, I’m afraid he’ll spill the beans. Qianyi’s husband, Teacher Mu, is a very capable person, and if I get in touch with Qianyi, I’m afraid Teacher Mu will find out."

"Then why do you trust me so much?" Yun Mu asked.

"Because you..." She stopped mid-sentence.

It was because the last time she sought Yun Mu to practice her Special Skill, she discovered Yun Mu was a spy.

As a spy, Yun Mu surely knew how to avoid being tracked by others and was tight-lipped, not easily revealing anything.

"Because of what?" Yun Mu asked.

"Because you don’t talk much usually."

Yun Mu gave a faint smile, stood up and said, "Then you should rest early. I’ll head back now; if it gets too late, the school gates will close."

Yan Chuhua suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Could you stay with me a little longer? I’m all alone in the hotel and can’t go out, I’m nearly going stir-crazy."

Looking at her pleading eyes, Yun Mu couldn’t bear to refuse and sat back down.

But with only the two of them in the room, he felt a bit awkward, not knowing what to say, his gaze wandering without a true focus.

Yan Chuhua, however, seemed quite at ease, continuing to eat snacks happily.

She even offered some chips to Yun Mu, "They’re really tasty, have some."

Yun Mu shook his head, "I don’t like snacks."

"How come you don’t ask me why I suddenly disappeared or why I’m hiding?" Yan Chuhua looked at Yun Mu and blinked.

Like Qianyi, Yun Mu showed no curiosity about her situation.

"If you want to tell me, you’ll naturally do so," Yun Mu said indifferently.

When he had learned from Teacher Mai Hunter that the DNA in Yan Chuhua’s personal system didn’t match her at all, he knew that Yan Chuhua was no simple person.

He guessed that she was probably the same kind of person as him.

People like them particularly loathe others prying into their privacy.

So he wouldn’t ask her.

Yan Chuhua curled her legs, sitting barefoot on the chair and asked with a smile, "So do you want to know?"

Yun Mu said, "It mainly depends on whether you want to tell me."

Yan Chuhua’s smile dimmed.

It seemed that Yun Mu truly had no interest in her affairs, didn’t care at all.

She put down the snacks in her hand, "You can go back now, I want to rest."

Yun Mu was taken aback, noticing Yan Chuhua’s suddenly deflated mood, but not understanding why.

The conversation was going fine; how did it become upsetting so suddenly?

Girls’ thoughts are indeed difficult to guess.

"Then I’ll be leaving."

Yan Chuhua hugged her knees and nodded.

"Take care of yourself, and contact me if you need anything," Yun Mu stood up to leave.

Yan Chuhua’s heart wrestled with emotions, still reluctant, she hurriedly looked up.

"Yun..."

The door had already closed.

She sighed, her lips puckering in a semblance of a pout.

Knowing full well that Yun Mu fancied Qianyi, what fantasies was she still harboring?

In the next room, Yan Qianyi watched the surveillance footage intently, unblinking.

Xia Ziyu leaned against the balcony, casually holding a can of cola, observing Yan Qianyi leisurely.

He knew, she would definitely come to see him tonight.

If it weren’t for his usefulness to this heartless woman, she would never have come to meet him.

Yan Qianyi didn’t notice the tender, affectionate gaze Xia Ziyu cast upon her.

She stared at the light screen where, after the surveillance footage was restored, the car belonging to her mother became clearly visible.

At that moment, a man wearing a mask approached her mother’s car and tampered with it.

Yan Qianyi’s heart clenched tightly.

Han Yarong hadn’t lied to her, someone indeed had tampered with her mother’s car.

Yet, until the man left the camera’s field of view, she hadn’t caught a clear glimpse of the man’s face.

She sighed in disappointment.

Based on this silhouette alone, how could she identify the killer?

"Do you want to see what he looks like?" Xia Ziyu’s voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Yan Qianyi jumped with fright, unaware of when Xia Ziyu had moved behind her, leaning in close to her ear suggestively.

She quickly moved aside and saw Xia Ziyu looking composed, a smile at the corner of his lips, she asked, "It seems you know what he looks like."

"Invite me for a late-night snack later."

"Alright!"

Xia Ziyu chuckled, tapping his wristband lightly.

Another corner’s surveillance footage appeared on the light screen.

The man was seen walking over to a trash can in the corner, removing his mask, and tossing it inside.

The man had been facing away from the camera, but apparently flustered, he glanced left and right and his face quickly flashed in the monitoring feed.

Xia Ziyu worked the controls again, replaying the footage in reverse, and expertly pausing at the man’s face.

But due to the lighting, even when zoomed in, the face was not very clear.

Yan Qianyi furrowed her brow at the man’s image on the screen, asking, "Xiao Hei, can you enhance the clarity?"

"Of course I can, I’ll process it for you after we get back from having the late-night snack."

"You’re like a donkey."

"Why’s that?"

"You only move a few steps forward if there’s some food dangled in front of you."

He was doing this on purpose, requiring some incentive or treat before he’d agree to continue helping.

Xia Ziyu laughed heartily, "Donkeys can be quite cute too."

"Then you must not have seen a donkey," Yan Qianyi glanced at him sideways, "Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

At this time, Mu Yunlie was in the military camp.

Upon receiving Yan Qianyi’s action report, Pei Yuexuan immediately reported to Mu Yunlie.

"Sir, after leaving the school in the evening, Madam went to a hotel and then left with Prince Ziyu. They’re now out having a late-night snack."

Mu Yunlie furrowed his brows without a word, stood up, and walked to the window, looking out into the night with a heavy expression.

Pei Yuexuan felt the chill and the hint of jealousy emanating from him and cautiously said:

"I believe that Madam... and Prince Ziyu’s relationship must be innocent; they’ve never spent a night together. I suspect that Prince Ziyu has some secret illness he doesn’t want to spread, hence he sought out Madam, hoping she could introduce him to the Masked Divine Doctor."
