Chapter 12 Investigating a Person
12
The two men's departure did not affect Jiang Siyu's appetite in any way.
Once the dishes were served, she began to savor them slowly and deliberately.
As for the displeasure Jiang Siyu felt when Bo Siye left, she didn't care at all.
On the other side,
When Song Qi caught up with Bo Siye, he was already sitting in the car.
In the dimly lit carriage, the man leaned against the backrest with his head down, looking dejected.
He had taken off half of his suit jacket, and his shirt and bow tie were also in a disheveled state.
Judging from this, Song Qi knew that Bo Siye must have just thrown a tantrum by himself.
Song Qi didn't know what exactly happened between Bo Siye and Jiang Siyu. He only knew that ever since he started following Bo Siye, he had been looking for Jiang Siyu.
Not only do they hire private investigators, but they also frequently squeeze out time to travel abroad aimlessly in search of their own.
Song Qi had always believed that Bo Siye and the person he was looking for must be deeply in love with each other.
It was just that something unexpected happened, which is why the two of them separated.
But from the moment Bo Siye pretended not to know Jiang Siyu, he became somewhat confused.
"Mr. Bo," Song Qi began cautiously, "were you angry with Miss Jiang just now?"
"No." The man's deep voice came, and Bo Siye rubbed his temples. "I was... angry at myself."
"Huh?" Song Qi was even more confused.
Bo Siye had no intention of explaining to him, but he was indeed angry with himself.
When he first met Jiang Siyu, he noticed that she was indifferent to everything around her, with a somewhat world-weary and pessimistic attitude.
Unlike other girls, she doesn't have a particular type of food she likes, nor does she like flowers, clothes, jewelry, or designer bags, and she doesn't even like going out.
She was like a detached person living in the real world, as if she would disappear from this world the moment she lost that support.
It was only after a long period of observation that he vaguely discovered Jiang Siyu's fondness for seafood.
But she never orders anything herself, nor does she ever say she wants to eat anything.
Only when he smelled the aroma would his dim eyes flicker for a moment.
After discovering this, Bo Siye liked to buy some seafood to bring home, cook it, and then invite Jiang Siyu over to eat.
At first, Jiang Siyu wouldn't take the initiative to pick up the seafood on the table, until Bo Siye pushed the peeled crab roe and meat in front of her for the first time.
Those eyes really did visibly brighten.
She asked in surprise, "For me?"
After receiving Bo Siye's affirmative answer, Jiang Siyu excitedly took the plate and began to eat in small bites.
That was the first time Bo Siye had sensed such a clear change in emotion from Jiang Siyu.
At that time, she loved eating seafood and was genuinely happy.
But now, she says she doesn't like eating it anymore.
Bo Siye didn't know why he was so sad.
It's just a sudden pang of heartache.
And...self-blame.
If I hadn't argued with her back then, I would be sitting next to her now, coaxing her to eat what she likes.
Therefore, it is he himself who is unrestrained and arrogant.
But besides that, Bo Siye couldn't help but feel resentful that Jiang Siyu had left so decisively back then, giving him no chance to regret or try to win her back.
It was just one argument, and their only argument.
They sentenced him to death.

After finishing her meal at the restaurant, Jiang Siyu took a taxi directly back to her accommodation.
As Jiang Siyu entered the building, she immediately spotted the man standing at the elevator entrance.
The other person also noticed Jiang Siyu's arrival and turned to look at her.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Siyu frowned slightly as she looked at the man who had aged considerably in front of her.
How did you know I was here?
Only Fu Lin knows where Jiang Siyu lives, but Fu Lin would never betray her.
"The Fu family found out that a house under Fu Lin's name had been transferred to another owner, and they immediately guessed that it was transferred to you."
Jiang Dingbang replied, feeling somewhat saddened as he looked at his daughter, who had changed considerably.
He choked up as he said, "Ayu, you haven't been home for four years."
He regretted sending Jiang Siyu abroad as soon as he did, but before he could bring her back, she had already escaped from the place he had arranged for her to stay.
She didn't go to the school he arranged for her, as if she had completely disappeared from the world.
Over the years, Jiang Dingbang has been worried, fearing that something might happen to Jiang Siyu while she was out alone.
Fortunately, she has returned safely.
“That’s not my home,” Jiang Siyu stated calmly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dingbang frowned in disapproval: "How is that not your home? You lived there for twenty years."
“I have no home since my mother died and my maternal grandparents died.”
The fact that caused Jiang Siyu excruciating pain back then, she speaks of now without much emotion.
On the contrary, Jiang Dingbang looked grim.
“I’ve said it countless times: your grandparents’ deaths were accidental. Why won’t you believe me?”
"If you want me to believe you, why won't you let me investigate further? You even forcibly sent me abroad to stop me? I couldn't even attend my grandparents' funeral."
"President Jiang, if you are honest and upright, why are you in such a hurry to cover it up!"
Jiang Siyu retorted firmly, her chest heaving with emotion.
Jiang Dingbang's lips moved, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:
“You were so insistent on this matter that I was afraid it would affect the company, so I had no choice but to send you abroad.”
"It's a lie to say it affects the company; the real reason is that you have a guilty conscience, right?"
“I’m your father, why can’t you believe what I say?” Jiang Dingbang asked, puzzled.
Jiang Siyu took a deep breath: "I no longer want to pursue this matter, but the Jiang family and I have long since lost all connection."
"Mr. Jiang had better not come in front of me again."
Seeing Jiang Siyu enter the elevator, Jiang Dingbang took a step forward, but stopped helplessly when he met the warning in Jiang Siyu's eyes.
Jiang Dingbang only lowered his head in anguish as the numbers on the elevator display screen climbed higher and higher.
“Ayu, it was Daddy’s fault.”
If he hadn't forced her to go abroad back then, things wouldn't have come to this point between him and his daughter.
Why can't we let her investigate?
Jiang Siyu didn't know when Jiang Dingbang left downstairs.
After she got home and tidied up, she skillfully typed in a URL, found the person she was looking for in the forum, and clicked on his profile picture to send him a private message.
Help me find out about someone.
The other end replied almost instantly: 【Who?】
Jiang Siyu: [Mu Qingye.]
What do you need to check?
Jiang Siyu stared at the question in silence for a while before slowly typing out a line of text.
[Investigate his relationship with Bo Siyue, the current president of Fanyu... or rather, investigate whether they are the same person.]
On the way back, Jiang Siyu recounted the entire process of encountering Bo Siye at the restaurant.
When Bo Siye asked Song Qi that question, his gesture of touching his bow tie seemed casual, but coincidentally, Song Qi only said those words after seeing his action.
Moreover... the style of that bow tie design also looks very familiar.
