[Why would President Chi let Qin Yuanyao into his car?! President Chi doesn't seem like the type to let just any woman into his car!!]

[Upstairs, that's the problem!! I now reasonably suspect that their relationship might be very unusual!!]

[Hilarious! All they did was let Qin Yuanyao get in the car, and someone's fans are pretending to be ordinary people getting excited, deliberately manipulating public opinion to suggest that Qin Yuanyao and CEO Chi have a special relationship. Has Qin Yuanyao really set her sights on CEO Chi?!]

[Sorry, I'm not pretending to be a passerby, I'm a genuine passerby, please don't label me a fan. I'm just curious, why would CEO Chi let Qin Yuanyao get in his car? I'm just curious, is there something more to the relationship between CEO Chi and Qin Yuanyao?]

Where are they going? Did they mention it during the live stream?

Director Jiang mentioned that they had something to do in the afternoon and would be out for the rest of the day.

I can understand President Chi taking Chi Cheese out, but why is Qin Yuanyao coming along? What do the three of them have in common that requires them to go out?

【Uh…maybe our purposes are different? President Chi was also going out, so he gave Qin Yuanyao a ride?】

Does Qin Yuanyao have any other plans this afternoon? Are there any Qin Yuanyao fans who would like to share their thoughts?

[Yaoyao has no other scheduled activities this afternoon, at least not publicly announced!]

So, is Qin Yuanyao's goal the same as President Chi's and the others'?

While viewers in the live stream were racking their brains discussing where Qin Yuanyao and her friends were going and the relationship between Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi, Qin Yuanyao and her friends had already embarked on their journey to N City.

It takes nearly three hours to travel from Changshu Village, where they participated in the live broadcast, to N City.

On the way, Qin Yuanyao looked at the text message she had sent to Zhao Lan again.

Zhao Lan still did not reply to her.

Qin Yuanyao wasn't sure if Zhao Lan had seen the text message she sent.

So she posted another message: "We're already on our way to see Cui Yi, we should arrive around 4 PM."

The text message was sent, but it disappeared without a trace.

But Qin Yuanyao didn't care anymore.

She slept for a few minutes in the car before arriving in N city.

Mu Hai and Cui Yi agreed to meet at a coffee shop.

Because it was a weekday and the cafe was located in a busy area, there weren't many people in the cafe.

Qin Yuanyao and her group arrived first and found a secluded corner to sit down.

A dozen minutes later, Cui Yi entered, led by Mu Hai.

Although Cui Yi is good-looking, the invisible aura he exudes is very unpleasant.

When Cui Yi saw them, he showed no guilt or shame whatsoever. He sat down in the empty seat opposite them and placed the Chenghuang mask he was holding on the table.

Chi Cheese stared intently at the yellow mask on the table.

The yellow mask had a red dot between its eyebrows, exactly the same as the mask she had seen in the fire ten years later!

This is the mask!

The mask worn by the arsonist ten years later is this one!!

So, is this man the murderer ten years later?

Chi Nao looked at the man she disliked very much from the first glance with a puzzled expression.

Cui Yi was staring intently at Qin Yuanyao.

His eyes held a hint of amusement and frivolity, followed by a meaningful, flippant smile.

Chi Baiyi noticed his expression, and a chill flashed across her face.

"You want to see me because of that mask?" Cui Yi glanced at the mask on the table and said flippantly.

Chi Baiyi didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Did you take Zhao Lan's mask?"

"Yes! I told Mu Hai that I thought this mask was very special, so I took it."

"You took it without Zhao Lan's permission?" Qin Yuanyao stared at him and asked.

“Yes,” Cui Yi said with a nonchalant smile.

"You took the drunk Zhao Lan to the hotel?" Qin Yuanyao asked again.

"yes."

Seeing his dismissive attitude, Qin Yuanyao said directly, "You took advantage of Zhao Lan's unconsciousness to have sex with her and even took her mask?"

Cui Yi's gaze at her grew increasingly amused, and he smiled contemptuously, "Yes, I've already told Mu Hai all of this. What do you need to confirm repeatedly? Actually, you're not here for the mask at all, but for Zhao Lan's matter, right? What's your relationship with Zhao Lan? I haven't heard her say that she knows you."

"Answer her question. You're not qualified to ask us questions," Chi Baiyi's voice rang out, as cold as if it had been chilled to the bone.

Cui Yi glanced at him, shrank back, and withdrew his arrogance.

“I had sex with her while she was unconscious and I also took off her mask.”

"Why did you take her mask? To show it off?" Qin Yuanyao asked.

“Yeah, just to show off and keep as a souvenir. Besides, this mask is both ugly and unique; I’ve never seen one like it before, so I just grabbed it.” Cui Yi shrugged.

"I've answered all your questions. What else would you like to know?"

Qin Yuanyao felt a surge of anger towards his nonchalant attitude.

Do you know that what you're doing is illegal?

Cui Yi pretended not to understand, "I just took a mask, what, you want to accuse me of theft?"

He feigned sudden realization, "Oh—you mean the thing about me and Zhao Lan having a relationship! We were mutually attracted. A lone man and woman, seeing each other, went to a hotel, what's the problem? If there were a problem, Zhao Lan could have come to me! But did she come to me? No! That means there was no problem!"

"Besides, even if she comes looking for me, so what? At most, she'll be locked up for a few years, and then I'll be out. After that, I can do whatever I want, and it won't affect me at all. But it's different for her, a girl. Everyone will know that she slept with a strange man, and they'll all point fingers at her. What man would dare to marry her then?"

Cui Yi had a smug look on his face, as if he had a firm grasp on the psychology of girls like Zhao Lan.

Qin Yuanyao's anger burned ever brighter.

She really wanted to slap Cui Yi a few times.

But she wasn't involved; what reason did she have to take action?

Cui Yi took in her expression.

Although the man next to Qin Yuanyao looks like an important figure, as long as that man has no connection with Zhao Lan, he certainly won't interfere in Zhao Lan's affairs and there's nothing he can do to him.

Thinking of this, Cui Yi became even more smug.

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll be going now. I'm very busy too."

Seeing that none of the three people opposite him reacted, Cui Yi got up to leave.

But just as he stood up, a figure suddenly darted out from the side.

At the same time, a crisp slap echoed throughout the coffee shop.
