Yu Muqing glanced at Xiao Xin and her gaze fell on the red marks around Xiao Xin's neck and the ambiguous marks on the collar of his hospital gown.
He couldn't help but complain, "Is he having another episode...?"
Xiao Xin: "You mean, his depression?"
Yu Muqing crossed her arms and nodded: "After he regained his memory, he went to see a psychologist, but Fu Yan didn't tell me the specific results."
Xiao Xin pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
Yu Muqing continued, "What exactly happened between you and him?"
Xiao Xin glanced at him but didn't answer. Then, as if remembering something, she changed the subject: "President Yu, I want to ask you something."
Yu Muqing nodded. "Go ahead."
"Did Fu Yan's old wolfhound really kill anyone?" Xiao Xin asked.
Yu Muqing paused for two seconds, then said, "I wasn't there when that incident happened, but a year ago, Xiao Yan's mental state wasn't very good. However, I felt there was something fishy about that incident..."
Xiao Xin looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"Later experimental reports said that the wolfhound had been given drugs, which is why it was so frantic..."
Xiao Xin nodded thoughtfully, "Have you investigated who did this?"
Yu Muqing thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and pointed at Xiao Xin, saying, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered something."
Xiao Xin: "Okay, go ahead."
“I was away on a business trip at the time. When I heard about this, Fu Yan had already gone to the hospital for treatment. When I came back, all traces at the scene had been wiped clean, as if someone deliberately didn’t want me to know about it…”
Yu Muqing: "When my uncle heard about this, he was so angry that he didn't want to deal with Fu Yan anymore and handed this mess over to Qiao Chen..."
Speaking of Qiao Chen, Yu Muqing narrowed her eyes in thought, then looked at Xiao Xin: "So, it's Qiao Chen?"
Xiao Xin nodded and said seriously, "I found it strange when I saw that post. Qiao Chen... seemed to be the only one there who wasn't afraid of that wolfhound."
Yu Muqing's heart skipped a beat, and she asked Xiao Xin, "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
What is the connection between this incident and the conflict between the two?
Xiao Xin looked at him seriously: "President Yu, Qiao Chen is planning to join forces with Jiang Yuqing to bring down the Fu family."
Yu Muqing was shocked: "How did you know?"
Xiao Xin instinctively reached for her phone, but there was nothing around her.
Where is his phone?
Yu Muqing saw him looking around and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Xiao Xin casually replied, "My phone."
As if remembering something, he asked again, "But how did I end up in the hospital?"
At this point, Yu Muqing explained, "On the third day after Fu Yan disappeared, I found the apartment he stayed in when he returned to China. He was carrying you, who was unconscious, and was about to rush to the hospital when I intercepted him."
Xiao Xin: "So, Mr. Yu, you brought me to the hospital?"
Yu Muqing hummed in agreement, "I suppose so."
Xiao Xin smiled politely and said, "Thank you."
Yu Muqing shook her head helplessly and patted Xiao Xin's shoulder: "Xiao Xin, when I saw you looking half-dead, it really scared me to death..."
However, Fu Yan remained expressionless throughout, his face as cold as a cold-blooded monster.
Yu Muqing didn't mention Fu Yan's reaction, fearing that Xiao Xin might overthink it.
Hearing his exaggerated tone, Xiao Xin still felt guilty and couldn't help but apologize again: "I'm sorry, I made you worry..."
Yu Muqing nodded and got back to the main topic: "Your phone is probably at Fu Yan's house. I didn't see it when I brought you to the hospital. Why are you looking for your phone?"
Xiao Xin stopped looking for her phone and leaned back against the headboard. "I was going to show you something."
"About Jiang Yuqing and Qiao Chen?" Yu Muqing asked.
Xiao Xin nodded. "Yes."
Yu Muqing leaned back in her chair and said slowly, "Actually, I know that Qiao Chen has always wanted to target the Fu family, but the Qiao family is a major shareholder of the Fu Group, and I have no right to kick him out of the company on my own."
After all, Qiao Chen was Fu Qingting's loyal and capable assistant.
If he dares to openly oppose Qiao Chen, then he is opposing Fu Qingting.
Xiao Xin listened quietly without jumping to conclusions.
“However, I only just found out that Jiang Yuqing and Qiao Chen have been in contact…” Yu Muqing said.
He never expected Jiang Yuqing to help Qiao Chen. What was her reason...?
“Xiao Xin,” Yu Muqing grabbed Xiao Xin’s shoulders and looked into his eyes, “Tell me honestly, is there something you’re hiding from me?”
Xiao Xin could see the sincerity in his eyes. Was it really okay to tell him this?
The atmosphere between the two remained tense for a few seconds before the door to the ward was suddenly opened.
Xiao Xin and Yu Muqing both looked toward the door at the same time, where Qiao Chen was walking in.
The moment Xiao Xin saw the person who had arrived, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Yu Muqing was somewhat surprised, and looked at Qiao Chen with impatience in her eyes, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Chen walked slowly to Yu Muqing, bent down and picked up a strand of hair that was hanging down beside his face, and said with a smile, "Your assistant told me you were here. So, how is it, my dear wife, are you done with your work?"
Xiao Xin, standing to the side, felt that his smile was eerie.
Yu Muqing was openly harassed, and her cold eyes flashed with anger.
He slapped Qiao Chen's hand away and sneered, "If you don't want your tongue, cut it off."
Qiao Chen teased, "Even though we're in bed, you really like it when I call you that."
Yu Muqing's face immediately darkened a shade: "..."
Xiao Xin: "..."
Is he being ignored by the two of them now?
Just as he was thinking this, Qiao Chen suddenly turned to look at him.
Xiao Xin felt a chill run down her spine when she met his dangerous, warning gaze.
For some reason, Xiao Xin always felt a tightness in her chest whenever she met Qiao Chen's eyes.
Without saying a word, he pulled the blanket over himself and crawled into bed.
Qiao Chen couldn't help but laugh as she watched his actions: "Mr. Xiao is really something, managing to make headlines by bringing the heir of the Fu Group along with him, causing turmoil throughout the entire Fu Group..."
Not to be outdone, Xiao Xin retorted, "It seems Mr. Qiao cares a lot about the Fu family. It's a pity, the Fu family's surname is Fu, not Qiao."
Qiao Chen: "..."
This person seems to know something.
Xiao Xin ignored him, pulled the covers up, turned her body slightly towards the window, and said with her back to the two of them, "Excuse me, Mr. Yu, I want to rest..."
Yu Muqing straightened up, looked at Xiao Xin's back and said, "Then you should rest well, I won't bother you any longer."
Xiao Xin gave him a muffled reply and then fell silent.
Yu Muqing pulled Qiao Chen out the door, and only after the room returned to quiet did Xiao Xin slowly open her eyes.
Where could he have lost his phone...?
Fu Yan was sitting in the back seat of the car when his gaze suddenly fell on a square screen under the seat.
He bent down, picked it up, and saw that it was a cell phone.
The phone looked like it had just been bought recently, and the only person who had ridden in his car three days ago was Xiao Xin.
Fu Yan suddenly wondered if Xiao Xin's phone might hold any secrets...
