Yun Shuchuan and the pervert were both utterly shocked, never imagining he would actually lean in like that.
"Boss... Boss?" The pervert looked at the person who was now so close, his expression filled with disbelief.
Even the most ordinary pervert was terrified by this scene.
"Shut up!" The masked man paused slightly, then continued to approach the ordinary pervert.
As the masked man drew closer and closer to the ordinary pervert, the pervert held his breath and closed his eyes.
At the same time, Yun Shuchuan's eyes widened, and she too held her breath.
Afraid of disrupting the atmosphere.
"You actually have these intentions!" The masked man's voice was cold and stern, his hand reaching out as if to crush the pervert's jaw.
The ordinary pervert's eyes snapped open, filled with shock and fear.
-------------------------------------
By the time the old man finished scolding, tears were streaming down his face.
Meanwhile, Mu Qi was holding the chain that had tightly bound him and Yun Shuchuan, rubbing it incessantly, his phoenix eyes filled with hidden joy and deep worry.
Was locking me up because of jealousy?
Would he like Shan Gong?
Mu Qi did not acknowledge even a sliver of possibility in this.
"Tell me, what do you know?" Mu Qi turned, his phoenix eyes dark as he looked at Shan Gong.
Shan Gong swallowed unconsciously, then stammered out his "confession."
From being suspected by Mu Qi, to his supposed involvement with Yun Shuchuan, to Yun Shuchuan seemingly suspecting his involvement with Mu Qi, Shan Gong laid it all out clearly.
After listening to Shan Gong, Mu Qi's gaze towards Shan Gong became sharper and more sinister.
"Young Master, I really have nothing with the Young Mistress!" Shan Gong's eyes darted about, on the verge of tears.
Mu Qi's expression remained unchanged. His gaze shifted from Shan Gong, and he began to recall if the "Shan Gong" from last night had anything special about him.
The mysterious Shan Gong from last night was very different from the Shan Gong before him. Therefore, the Shan Gong from last night must have been impersonated.
Then, who could it be?
"Shan Gong, locate Yun Rong's geographical position immediately!" Mu Qi suddenly commanded Shan Gong. Without much thought, Shan Gong immediately began to carry out Mu Qi's order.
An hour later, through various means, Shan Gong finally found a clue to Yun Rong's whereabouts.
"Young Master, Miss Yun seems to be at 'Nightfall'."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qi immediately rushed out, followed closely by the others.
However, none of them noticed the old man who was tailing them, axe in hand, following close behind.
...
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Mu Qi, Shan Gong, and the others stood before the brightly lit, mountain-shaped building of 'Nightfall'. The sounds of car horns and electric bikes echoed around them.
Mu Qi made a few gestures, and everyone understood. They began to climb the building's pipes. Finally, Shan Gong, who had reached the top floor first, discovered something unusual and signaled them with his flashlight.
Seeing this, before anyone else could react, Mu Qi seemed to effortlessly step through the empty air and reach the top floor.
-------------------------------------
"Boss... Boss." The pervert's face turned from red to a ghastly pale, his lips even trembling.
"Hey, what do you mean by this?" Yun Shuchuan looked at the scene before her, her mind filled with confusion.
This pervert seemed a bit like a domineering CEO's substitute young wife; the relationship was so complicated!
Who would be the real one? Would it be like this person?
Yun Shuchuan pondered what someone resembling this pervert would look like.
"Miss Yun." The masked man had walked up to Yun Shuchuan at some point, while the pervert had collapsed on the ground in a classic mermaid pose.
"Miss Yun, if my words and actions with him were not ambiguous in the slightest, and yet you look at us and assume our relationship is impure, can I then interpret Miss Yun Shuchuan's thoughts as vulgar?"
The masked man looked down at Yun Shuchuan from above, his sarcasm blatant.
Yun Shuchuan, however, paid no attention. After all, her mind couldn't hold much else at the moment.
As for the word "vulgar," Yun Shuchuan thought it was quite fitting.
She had indeed been unreasonable just now.
"Or perhaps, Miss Yun has experienced such a situation, and that's why you're projecting it onto us?"
The masked man's gaze was piercing. This sentence should have been a question, but he delivered it with a declarative tone, indicating his certainty.
Yun Shuchuan's emotions finally shifted, a hint of anger appearing in her expression as she looked at the masked man.
"Let me guess, it couldn't be your wealthy businessman husband, Mu Qi, could it?"
The masked man's flippant demeanor allowed one to imagine, even without seeing his face, that beneath his mask, his eyebrows were undoubtedly raised in a mocking manner.
"Sir, speculating about others is not a good habit, and spreading rumors is an even greater sin." Yun Shuchuan threw back the covers and stood in front of the masked man, her aura formidable and her expression stern.
"It seems Miss Yun is quite fond of that Mu Qi! You're still protecting him even now." The masked man's gaze was deep as he looked at Yun Shuchuan.
"It's just a pity. He's already with his 'close' bodyguard. You arrived later, and what's more, you're just a facade to cover things up.
In his heart, you probably don't even hold this much of a place."
The masked man raised his hand, pinching his thumb and index finger together with no space between them, mocking and lasciviously addressing Yun Shuchuan.
Yun Shuchuan's eyes reddened, then she took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Yes, but even if what you say is true, so what?"
Yun Shuchuan looked at the masked man with pity.
"You've probably never experienced loving someone without reservation. If you had, you would know.
Loving him is like planting a tree; whether it's for future generations to enjoy its shade, I just hope it grows lush and verdant.
Your heart, filled with a desire to possess, makes you seem like a madman who has lost his soul."
