Chu Yunxing knew that he was involved in this matter, so he gently turned the steering wheel and said in a low voice, "Leave it to me, I know how to handle it."

“You don’t know, if you had handled this matter properly, Liu Jia’er wouldn’t have come to Nancheng to cause trouble.” Song Mai sighed helplessly, her face full of worry.

Since returning to China, she has encountered all sorts of things.

Many things are inextricably linked to one's identity. Even Liu Jia'er today is only here because of her close relationship with Chu Yunxing.

But she couldn't understand why she was being tortured like this when she hadn't done anything wrong.

She sighed helplessly, her face full of resignation.

"I'm sorry, I went too far and caused you so much trouble." Chu Yunxing's face was full of guilt, and he had no idea how to ease her feelings.

"Actually, this matter has little to do with you. It's because I'm not strong enough that they think they can bully my profile picture." Song Mai turned her head and looked at the sky beside her.

The sky gradually darkened; this was the calm before the storm.

Exhausted, she slumped into her car seat, quietly listening to the symphony playing in her ears.

In a daze, she suddenly thought of something, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

"No, something's not right."

"What's wrong?" Chu Yunxing brought the car to a steady stop, looking at the red light in front of him with a worried tone.

“If Liu Jia’er was the one who started this, how could she possibly point the finger at Shen Xiujing? And for her, the most important person has never been anyone else, but you.”

Although Chu Yunxing didn't want to admit it, he had to agree.

After all, Song Mai has gone through so much, and most of it was because of herself.

"And haven't you noticed that someone's been missing lately?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison, "Ji Fenghe."

Ji Fenghe's sudden disappearance went unnoticed by everyone, but only he could subtly drag everyone into it, causing conflicts between them and leaving them completely bewildered.

Chu Yunxing laughed angrily: "I didn't expect it to be him. It seems I really underestimated him."

"That's normal. The Ji family is not to be underestimated, and there seems to be someone else behind him."

Chu Yunxing frowned deeply: "What do you mean?"

“I overheard him talking on the phone with someone else, and the other person was communicating with him in a commanding tone. This tone didn’t sound like that of a member of the Ji family; it sounded more like a boss giving orders to his subordinates.”

"But how could Jifenghe possibly have other bosses?" Chu Yunxing couldn't understand.

Neither of them spoke again until the car came to a smooth stop in front of Song Mai's house, at which point she had a bold guess in her mind.

Perhaps she knew what to do, but it was too risky, which made her subconsciously abandon it.

Seeing her worried expression, Chu Yunxing couldn't help but feel extremely concerned.

I watched her leave quietly, still feeling uneasy.

When Song Mai returned home, she first went to check on the sleeping An An, and then picked up the phone to dial Ji Fenghe's cell phone.

The other party answered after a long time, sounding somewhat tired.

"Wan'er, why did you suddenly call me?"

"We haven't been in touch for so long, I just wanted to ask how you've been lately." Song Mai tried to keep her tone calm and make it seem like there was nothing wrong.

However, she couldn't help feeling some resistance when facing Ji Fenghe.

It was precisely because of these emotions that Ji Fenghe realized something was wrong.

He blurted out instinctively, "You seem a bit off. Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that An'an suddenly went missing during the day. Fortunately, we found her in time, so she wasn't hurt." Song Mai sighed wearily.

She waited quietly for Ji Fenghe's reaction, and sure enough, she heard a hint of hesitation on the other end of the phone.

"How could this happen? Have you found out who was behind it?"

"It was Qian Xiran who took An'an away, but according to her, it was Liu Jia'er who instructed her to do so."

The monsoon and his breathing suddenly became heavy, as if he didn't know how to explain.

After a moment, he said awkwardly in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately and didn't know about these things."

"It's nothing, it's not a big problem, everything's resolved. I just thought you hadn't shown up for a while, so I wanted to give you a call." Song Mai's tone was full of disappointment.

At this point, she couldn't help but admire her own superb acting skills.

After a moment of contemplation, Ji Feng said in a low voice, "I understand, but there's one thing I hope you can understand. I've been too busy with company matters lately, which is why I've neglected your feelings."

"It's okay, people are always busy developing their own careers."

After a long silence, Ji Feng finally asked in a low voice, "Did you miss me?"

Song Mai gripped her phone slightly tighter and said through gritted teeth, "Of course."

Ji Fenghe didn't notice anything amiss in her mood and smiled as he said, "I'll come see you in a few days, but it might take a few more."

Song Mai had already thought it through carefully. If he wanted to get the identity of the person behind the scenes from Ji Fenghe, he had to lower his guard.

Although it's unknown whether Ji Fenghe will believe it, the honey trap is always the simplest and most direct method.

Chu Yunxing felt uneasy on his way back, worried that Song Mai was secretly doing something behind his back.

He quickly dialed Xie Xing's number and asked in a low voice, "Are you free right now?"

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone; it must have been in a bar.

After a long while, things finally quieted down, and Xie Xing's nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Of course I have time. What advice do you have, my dear Yun?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want you to help me investigate someone."

After hesitating for a moment on the other end of the phone, Xie Xing asked thoughtfully, "The person you're talking about wouldn't happen to be Ji Fenghe, would it?"

How did you know?

"My sister-in-law just came to see me too, also investigating Ji Fenghe's background. Apparently, there's another person pulling the strings behind him, and she hopes I can investigate as soon as possible." Hearing his serious tone, Xie Xing nervously asked again, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"

“It’s not serious. Don’t tell Mai Zi that we called today. You can tell her the results of the investigation directly, but you must tell me in advance.”

After Chu Yunxing finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

Xie Xing stared at his phone with a puzzled expression, muttering to himself, "What exactly do those two want? Do they really think of me as free labor?"

Despite complaining like that, I still had to carry out the instructions for the two of us.
