"W-What truth?"

Chi Yan's heart, which had just settled down, immediately jumped again.

I felt a little nervous and uneasy.

Mu Xiaocheng walked towards him, looked up and met his gaze.

"I'll ask you one last time, what are you hiding from me?"

Chi Yan dared not tell her the truth.

I dared not say anything.

Because his brother had told him not to tell Mu Xiaocheng about this.

After all, it concerns Mu Heng; what if his sister-in-law found out...?

Answer me!

Mu Xiaocheng's voice suddenly rose, startling Chi Yan so much that he shivered.

"Sister-in-law, it's really nothing."

It seemed that Mu Xiaocheng had anticipated his answer.

She crossed her arms and calmly said, "Since nothing's wrong, tell me, what's with those snipers lying in ambush at the door? Where's Shang Qi? Where's Father Mu?"

"Where did Ji Huaishen go again? And why are you following me? What are you worried about?"

A series of questions left Chi Yan completely bewildered.

Chi Yan has both ability and intelligence to have gotten to where he is today. He thought his sister-in-law wouldn't realize something was wrong so easily.

But he didn't expect his sister-in-law to find out so quickly. Moreover, every question she asked was spot on.

Chi Yan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. His brother had really dumped a difficult task on him.

My sister-in-law has already noticed something's wrong, and it seems unlikely that we can keep it a secret any longer.

But if he doesn't tell the truth, his sister-in-law will probably really skin him alive.

Chi Yan moved her lips, unsure how to continue her charade. Just as she was about to say something to brush it off, she heard Shang Qi's voice.

"lady."

Shang Qi stood with his hands behind his back at the top of the stairs on the second floor, his body ramrod straight, his face expressionless.

When Chi Yan saw Shang Qi, he couldn't help but frown.

How did this guy suddenly appear?

Judging from this posture, what are they planning to do!

"Shang Qi, give me an explanation." Mu Xiaocheng raised her eyes and looked in his direction.

Shang Qi approached Mu Xiaocheng, then nodded to her and said, "Madam, please come with me."

Mu Xiaocheng stared at him suspiciously. Although she didn't know what had happened, she still followed him.

Chi Yan stepped forward and blocked Shang Qi's path.

"Shang Qi, what do you want to do?"

Is Shang Qi planning to tell his sister-in-law the truth? His brother clearly said...

"Young Master Chi, this is the master's order."

Chi Yan lowered her eyes. Yes, normally Shang Qi only listened to his brother's orders, and now his actions must have been at his brother's behest.

—

Mu Xiaocheng was surprised that Shang Qi had actually locked Mu Heng up.

When Mu Heng saw Mu Xiaocheng, he immediately stood up from his chair.

"Little Orange".

He exclaimed in surprise, his expression one of astonishment, as if he had never expected this girl to appear before him at this moment.

Mu Xiaocheng turned around and looked at Shang Qi behind her.

"What exactly is going on?"

Shang Qi lowered his head slightly, spoke in a flat tone and without expression, and said, "Madam, Mr. Mu has regained his memory. He tried to sneak into the Master's study to find something. You... should talk to him."

"What did you say?!"

Mu Xiaocheng opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at Mu Heng in disbelief.

Shang Qi nodded and left.

Mu Heng became a little nervous and quickly said, "Xiao Cheng, I have indeed regained my memories, I'm sorry..."
