Xin Yuqing was not surprised when Mu Qingyan came to see her. What made her more concerned was that Shen Chuxuan was also here.

Even if she was not well-informed, she could tell that this was not the situation where President Shen was on a business trip with Shen's technical consultant.

"Chu Yan, I'm sorry for not taking good care of Kinsley. Is there any news about him now?"

"Not yet..." Shen Chuxuan sighed, exchanged a glance with Mu Qingyan beside him, and continued, "But I think, Yuqing, you should know better than us where he was taken, right?"

There was no beating around the bush, and such a direct question shocked Xin Yuqing.

"Chu Xin, you...what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

She tried her best to force a smile, but her facial muscles seemed to be out of control, and she no longer had the pride and composure she had when she met Mu Qingyan at the LIANGSHE night banquet.

Mu Qingyan didn't care about the other party's disregard and continued to explain:

"Ms. Xin, you should remember our first meeting, right? Back then, I knew you were someone special. As far as I know, you've never done anything to harm Kinsley, so I'm not in a position to expose you. But now, please allow me to ask, are you monitoring Kinsley for BI?"

"When we first met? This...how is this possible?" Xin Yuqing couldn't believe what she heard.

At that time, she went to "solve trouble" for Kinsley. Her position and identity were legitimate, and she was sure that her behavior was extremely normal and there would be no flaws.

On the contrary, Mu Qingyan was completely listless and in extremely bad condition at that time. He seemed to have no strength to speak. How could he possibly see the problem?

But…

Similarly, Xin Yuqing has not forgotten Mu Qingyan whom she met at the dinner in the port area. Just like now, she doesn't know how to deal with it. She is even worried that if she says a wrong word, she will not be able to leave here safely.

So, at that time, this person was really pretending...

"The bag you're carrying has a very unique logo on it. This brand is very rare—oh, it's not the price. After all, as Kinsley's agent, you can definitely afford it. It's just that this brand has a very specific audience. From what I understand, Miss Xin, you probably don't belong to that group. Of course, that's not the point. The thing is that you have a tracking device and a monitoring device in your bag. It's not normal for an agent to carry such things, and the technology used is not ordinary. I can't say that about many people. So, Miss Xin, who gave it to you?"

"And the most important thing." Chen Chuxuan took over the topic, "I've seen you before at BI headquarters. Yuqing, I know you've always been very good to Ayin. You were by his side when he first debuted, and Ayin is very grateful for your care for him. Every time he comes home, he tells me how happy he is that you helped him sign a new job, so I really want to know when exactly it all started..."

——When did it start?

Perhaps Xin Yuqing herself couldn't explain it clearly.

At the beginning, she really just treated Kinsley as an ordinary artist. A boy who is good-looking and hardworking, and has such a family background to support him, will definitely not be buried in the entertainment industry.

This will also become a very glorious chapter in her career.

But as fans say: Who doesn't like Kinsley?

Even fans who are separated by a screen are like this, let alone her who is with her day and night.

Although he is a young master from a wealthy family, Kinsley does not have any bad temper from being spoiled. His private life is even cleaner than she expected. Even if he occasionally has to come into contact with other actresses during filming, he does not even leave his personal contact information once the filming is over.

As far as she knew, Kinsley's parents died early, the Shen family was in chaos, and Kinsley's eldest brother was not a clean person. It was indeed not easy for him to grow up in such an environment and be like this.

She believed what Shen Chuxuan said. Kinsley, who had just debuted as a teenager, was indeed very close to and trusted her. However, she didn't know when the child suddenly became arbitrary and his condition took a sharp turn for the worse.

Although he still got along well with her on the surface, he became increasingly cold towards her in private.

It was at this time that she received a strange phone call.

But she really emphasized to those people again and again that they would never do anything to hurt Kinsley.

So she really didn't expect the current situation.

"Ms. Mu, I'm so sorry..."

"You haven't wronged me. I know everything you've done for Kinsley. Just like Chu Xin said, I'm very grateful to you. Thank you for taking care of him. I'm not keeping you here to keep you under house arrest. You can leave at any time. But Miss Xin, for your safety, I think it's better for you to stay here for a while."

After Mu Qingyan finished speaking, he glanced at Xin Yuqing who was silent, and stood up to leave.

"Miss Mu, can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?"

"Yeah." Mu Qingyan nodded to Shen Chuxuan, "Chuxuan, go out and wait for me first."

After Shen Chuxuan left, the room fell silent again. After a while, Xin Yuqing spoke:

"Ms. Mu, that time in Lianghse, you already knew that it was me who went there instead of Kinsley, right?"

Mu Qingyan did not deny it: "Yes, and you also sent the message for him, right?"

"How did you know that? Did you install something in Kinsley's phone?"

——If you ask that, you really have a lot of good stuff...

Mu Qingyan coughed lightly and considered his words before replying:

"It's not because of this, it's just a... very strange feeling. I know Xiao Yin's tone and attitude when he speaks, so I can tell at a glance whether it's him on the other end of the phone."

Mu Qingyan really didn't know how to explain the whole story, but she didn't expect that this was not what Xin Yuqing cared about.

"Xiao Yin...you call him Xiao Yin..."

Even Shen Chuxuan wouldn't call her that with such an intimate name.

Since his debut, Kinsley has been reluctant to reveal his real name, and he doesn't like fans or staff around him to call him by any nickname related to his real name.

At first, Xin Yuqing thought that he didn't want people in the industry to speculate that everything he had was because of his family background, but later she realized that this was not the case.

"Ms. Mu, I have another question. When I said those desserts were Kinsley's favorite, you looked weird. Can I ask why?"

"When we were very young, our teacher—I mean, Kinsley's father—once took us to Liangshe. But back then… it was very hard, so we couldn't often enjoy those delicious snacks. As for the ones you mentioned, I don't think you've ever seen him actually eat them, right?"

Xin Yuqing said at the time, "Those were the dishes Kinsley often ordered and she had eaten with him a few times." In fact, she just wanted to find an opportunity to show her closeness to Kinsley, and that was not the case at all.

Of course, the first half of the sentence was true. She had used many methods to find out which restaurant Kinsley frequented and what specific dishes he would order. But she didn't know that the man just sat there staring at a pile of desserts all day long, and the reason...

"Those are...Miss Mu, you like them, right?"

"Um…"

It wasn't a big deal, but when Mu Qingyan thought about the fact that Kinsley was still missing and he didn't know how to find him safely, he felt a soreness in his throat and a heat in his eyes.

"I see…"

After solving the doubts that had been lingering for so long, Xin Yuqing finally felt relieved.

"Ms. Mu, you will rescue Kinsley, right? You can definitely do it, right?"

…

People will find it back naturally, but the process may not be that smooth.

A few days later, Shen Chuxuan finally brought news from BI, but Lawrence Bedford did not show up. The main content of the information, in addition to threatening Kinsley's safety, also involved a bet on Infinity.

"...He said that Infinity must transfer all management rights of the community within the remaining time as previously required. Otherwise, not only will Infinity's survival be at risk, but the lives of everyone in the community will also be at risk. Qingyan, what do you think?"

"It's good news, but also bad news..." Mu Qingyan tried hard to calm herself down, not thinking about what Kinsley was going through. "The movement over there means that the provocation worked. It seems that the old man is really afraid that I will discover something else..."

"The disease is still spreading rapidly in the community, and we haven't found a solution yet. It's best to make this public as soon as possible, otherwise everyone who's unaware will blame Infinity!"

Shen Chuxuan's guilt and panic were almost uncontrollable. She knew that the person in front of her was not in a good condition either, but at this time, she had to at least protect Infintiy. If Infinity was gone, she would really have no power to compete with BI.

Mu Qingyan shook her head after hearing this: "It's not time yet. Although the nanorobot treatment is slow, it's still effective, isn't it? Chu Xin, I believe in your team. Don't think about it, just keep going. I know what's going on."

"But..."

"Of course, I understand your concerns, so I'll spread another message. Since Lawrence Bedford dares to threaten me with Xiao Yin's life and Infinity, it would be rude of me not to give him something in return."

"You want to?"

Then, Shen Chuxuan saw the incomplete body skeleton soaked in some kind of solution in confusion.

It was the one she saw when Mu Qingyan confessed everything to her and took her to the underground laboratory.

He was also the reporter that BI sent to Infinity headquarters after the Halden incident.

On the holographic screen next to it, all the information about this person was listed in detail.

"He came from a well-off family, a typical second-generation rich kid. However, rather than being a journalist, he might have wanted to be a painter. He then mysteriously disappeared for a long time. Oh, and by the way, his family is a big fan of the luxury brands under BI."

After Dustin and Mu Qingyan returned safely, BI received an anonymous report pointing out that all the watches, jewelry, decorations, etc. it produced had vacuum chambers inside, which could not be seen by ordinary scans.

The vacuum chamber is suspected to contain some acidic liquid or a substance with extremely strong radioactivity.

This incident caused a huge uproar and made many families who love luxury goods extremely vigilant. In addition, with Infinity's support behind the scenes, most of BI's luxury lines around the world ceased operations.

But how could things end like this?
