Chapter 638: Nowhere to Escape
Xiao Muzhen's expression changed, and he sat up suddenly. "Why are you so suspicious?!"
"I got an investigation report from Country Y, and there's a body missing."
"There was an explosion at the time, and it might have been completely buried and the police didn't find it."
"I hope so, but I always feel like something is wrong."
If Huo Tianyi hadn't died, he would have definitely hidden in the dark, ready to attack them at any time.
Xiao Muzhen pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this matter for now. I will find someone to investigate. If he is really not dead, I will find a way to find him out."
"Well, that's all we can do."
After comforting Huo Yiyi a few more words, Xiao Muzhen hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath and dialed Xiao Tuo's number.
"Dad, I want to ask you to help me check something."
The Xiao family has a lot of business in Country Y, so asking Xiao Tuo for help in this matter will be much more efficient.
After telling Xiao Tuo what he wanted to investigate, Xiao Muzhen hung up the phone and got up to wash up.
After washing up and going downstairs to make something to eat, I saw a familiar figure sitting in the living room.
She was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"Shi Yiheng, why are you here?"
"It was Aunt Xun who opened the door and let me in to wait for you. I was standing at the door, about to call you, when Aunt Xun came over. She said you were still sleeping, so she opened the door and let me in to wait. She cooked you dinner and then left."
"Oh, have you eaten yet? Do you want to join us?"
"good."
Xiao Muzhen pushed him to the dining table, then got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl.
During the meal, Shi Yiheng asked Xiao Muzhen if he had encountered any problems when buying medicinal herbs abroad.
Xiao Muzhen shook his head and said, "No, things went smoothly."
Seeing her calm expression, Shi Yiheng's hand holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Zhenzhen, although we are engaged, I feel that the distance between us is still very far."
Xiao Muzhen raised her eyes and looked at him, "Why do you say that?"
"When you went to Country Y, in addition to sending a few bodyguards to follow you, I also sent others to protect you secretly."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen frown, he quickly said, "I don't mean to monitor you, I just don't want anything to happen to you, so I know a little about what you did in Country Y... You were clearly in such danger over there, yet you refused to tell me anything."
"I just don't want you to worry."
"If it was Huo Yunting, would you also hide it from him?"
As these words fell, the table fell into silence.
Xiao Muzhen put down his chopsticks and looked at Shi Yiheng, saying word by word, "I have nothing to do with him anymore, so there's no need for you to compete with him. Besides, I don't want to hear his name again. I'm done eating, take your time."
Seeing her get up and leave, Shi Yiheng smiled bitterly.
He regretted it the moment he said that, but Xiao Muzhen's reaction made him feel a little disappointed.
If she really had no feelings for Huo Yunting and could really treat him as a stranger, she would not have reacted like this.
He closed his eyes and suppressed the anger and resentment in his heart.
It was so hard to get the chance to be with her, and he didn't want to mess it up by not being able to control his emotions.
After dinner, Shi Yiheng went to the study to apologize to Xiao Muzhen.
"Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. I was too sensitive. I promise this won't happen again."
Xiao Muzhen looked at him calmly, "I'm not angry."
After saying that, he didn't look at Shi Yiheng again, but lowered his head to look at the documents on the table.
Shen Tian had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently, so she just sent all the documents to her. In addition, she had been away for a few days, and now the documents on her desk were piled up like a mountain, almost drowning her.
"You said you weren't angry. If you really weren't angry, you wouldn't have left before finishing your meal."
Xiao Muzhen paused while looking at the document, then put it down and looked at him, "I was indeed a little unhappy just now, but I feel better now."
"Can't you give me a chance to coax you?"
Feeling that his words were a bit ambiguous, Xiao Muzhen said seriously, "Although we are engaged, there is one thing I still need to make clear to you. I haven't fully accepted you yet, so I hope you can give me some time to slowly adapt from being friends to being engaged."
"Well, I know. I won't force you. It's just that what I said in the restaurant today was indeed a jerk. If you are still unhappy, you can hit me and scold me, but don't be disappointed in me, okay?"
Facing his cautious expression, Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Okay, I understand. I still have to work. Would you like to read in the study and I'll take you home after work, or should I ask the driver to take you?"
"I'm reading in the study. I won't disturb you."
"good."
Xiao Muzhen continued to read the documents, while Shi Yiheng chose a book from the bookshelf. Neither of them spoke anymore, and the only sound in the study was the turning of pages.
Xiao Muzhen spent the whole afternoon in the study, and finally finished processing some documents in the evening.
She called Shen Tian and asked her to ask the secretary to come over to get the signed documents, and complained, "Those documents that are not very important don't need to be sent over. It's up to you to decide."
"No... I need to see every document. I... uh... don't have morning sickness... uh... I'll help you after I react... uh..."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Listening to Shen Tian's continuous retching sounds, she felt like vomiting as well.
"Okay, go ahead and vomit. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone neatly, Xiao Muzhen looked at Shi Yiheng who was standing beside him.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Let's go have dinner, and then I'll take you back."
Shi Yiheng was staring at his phone in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses after hearing what he said.
"No, I have something to do tonight. I've already asked the driver to pick me up. You don't have to worry about me."
Seeing that his expression seemed a little unhappy, Xiao Muzhen said, "Have you encountered any difficult problems?"
Shi Yiheng smiled and said, "It's just a small matter at the company. I can handle it."
"That'll do."
The Shi family's driver arrived soon, and Shi Yiheng's secretary also came with him.
After greeting Xiao Muzhen, the secretary and the driver carried Shi Yiheng into the car.
"Zhenzhen, let's have dinner together tomorrow night."
"good."
The car started slowly, and the smile on Shi Yiheng's face gradually turned cold until Xiao Muzhen's figure was no longer in the rearview mirror.
"Did you find out who sent that text message?"
Just an hour ago, Shi Yiheng received a text message on his mobile phone, which only contained a short sentence.
I know what you did.
His heart sank at that moment, and he immediately sent the number from which the text message was sent to his secretary for him to check. However, the person then continued to send many text messages, all about the car accident between him and Xiao Muzhen.
