The thought of the woman in the room made Shen Yanqing feel nauseous, and her gaze towards Qi Yu was filled with disgust.
He immediately stood up from the sofa: "Qi, I'm sorry to bother you today."
Qi Yu smiled and waved goodbye to Shen Yanqing: "Goodbye, Mr. Shen."
When I went out, it was still raining, and it looked like it was going to get even heavier.
Qi Yu clicked her tongue: "The rain is quite heavy, Mr. Chen, why don't you stay a little longer?"
"No need, goodbye."
Shen Yanqing listened to the woman's intermittent moans from the room upstairs, his brows furrowed tightly, and left with a dark expression.
Qi Yu watched his departing figure, scoffed softly, and slammed the door shut.
As Shen Yanqing walked into the rain with the black umbrella, she felt that something was not quite right.
He took a few steps and looked back upstairs. Qi Yu was leaning against the window. The moment their eyes met, she smiled and waved at him.
Through the rain, the smile on his face appeared even more sinister and eerie.
Shen Yanqing gripped the umbrella handle tightly with her fingers and turned to leave.
Qi Yu stood upstairs, watching the black sedan slowly drive away from the alley entrance before letting out a cold laugh and turning her gaze away. What kind of male lead or underworld boss is he? He's nothing special.
With a thud, another muffled sound came from upstairs.
"Dead fat pig."
Qi Yu cursed under her breath and started walking upstairs.
As soon as the door to the outermost room opened, the obese woman on the bed frantically shook the chains binding her limbs, looking at her with pleading eyes: "Good girl, come here quickly, I can't take it anymore..."
Qi Yu looked away in disgust, casually took a syringe from the drawer, and stuck it into the woman's arm.
The woman's unbearable moans gradually subsided, and she rolled her eyes and fell asleep again.
Qi Yu pulled out the syringe, casually covered the woman's plump body with the blanket next to her, and turned to walk into the secret room.
Gu Baiwei was searching for something to use for self-defense in the secret room when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
She immediately lay back down on the bed, pretending to be fast asleep.
Qi Yu opened the door and came in. When she saw Gu Baiwei sleeping soundly on the bed, her gaze softened instantly.
The woman's disheveled black hair was draped like satin on the bed, and her small face was delicate and fair.
His gaze fell on her full, rounded lips, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he leaned down slowly closer.
Just before he was about to touch her, the woman on the bed mumbled something indistinctly, then turned over and faced away from him.
Qi Yu smiled helplessly, reached out and covered Gu Baiwei with the blanket, then turned and left the secret room.
Gu Baiwei only opened her eyes when the surroundings became completely quiet.
She stared at the closed door, lost in thought, feeling that something was off about Qi Yu.
He imprisoned her here, yet he treated her well, feeding and caring for her. Apart from occasionally injecting her with drugs to put her into a deep sleep, he didn't do anything else excessive. What exactly did he want to do?
She tried hard to recall the plot points related to Qi Yu in the novel, and something suddenly flashed through her mind.
In the novel, after Xia Shih-Han marries Shen Yan-Qing, Ye Sinian is depressed and goes to sweep his parents' graves, only to discover that his parents' graves have been dug up. Upon investigation, he finds that his mother's ashes are missing.
He had people investigate for a long time but couldn't find anything.
She only mentioned the matter briefly, but because it concerned Gu Baiwei herself, she paid special attention to it.
Could this incident also be related to Qi Yu?
Gu Baiwei tried hard to recall the relevant plot, but before she could figure it out, her consciousness began to become unclear.
Although she had just vomited up most of the medicine, some inevitably remained in her body.
Soon, she fell asleep again.
Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Shen Group, Shen Yanqing was sharing the relevant information that his subordinates had investigated with Ye Sinian.
Based on nearby surveillance footage, they identified a silver minivan as the source of the incident.
Through technical reconstruction, they found Gu Baiwei unconscious in the back seat of the moving vehicle.
The driver was wearing a black baseball cap and a mask. He was thin, but his face vaguely revealed that he was not young.
The van was later found abandoned under an overpass on the outskirts of the city, and the trail was once again forced to stop.
Shen Yanqing frowned in thought, not knowing why, but Qi Yu's eerie smiling face kept appearing in his mind.
"Go and check Qi Yu's whereabouts these past two days."
He gave the order to Big Head in a deep voice.
Just as Da Tou responded and went out, Assistant Lu knocked on the door and came in: "President Ye, something bad has happened. The cemetery says your mother's ashes have been lost."
"What happened?"
Ye Sinian immediately stood up from his chair. His mother had just disappeared, and her ashes were also missing. Could there be any connection between the two?
"Excuse me, Mr. Shen, I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to leave for a moment."
Ye Sinian hurriedly said something to Shen Yanqing, and without delay, he rushed to the suburban cemetery.
He subconsciously felt that there was some kind of connection between the two things.
When he rushed to the cemetery, he found an unexpected person.
What's Ye Yunting doing here?
Upon seeing the person's appearance, Ye Sinian subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
When the cemetery manager, Old Ma, saw him arrive, he immediately came forward to greet him: "Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry, we made such a big mistake in our work..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Sinian interrupted him directly: "When was it discovered? Who discovered it?"
In recent months, he has been busy with work and has not visited his parents' graves for a long time, but he has been having them cleaned regularly.
"this……"
Old Ma's face immediately turned ugly.
After the man took the ashes away, he restored the soil to its original state, and they never noticed anything unusual.
It wasn't until Mr. Ye came to pay his respects today that he noticed something was wrong with the soil. Upon inspection, he discovered that one of the two urns in the coffin was missing—the one belonging to Mrs. Ye.
"I discovered it."
Ye Yunting suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Sinian looked up at him.
Ye Yunting glanced at Old Ma: "Could you please step out for a moment? I have something important to discuss with President Ye."
Old Ma couldn't wait to leave; Ye's icy gaze had sent chills down his spine.
He immediately responded and went out, thoughtfully closing the door for the two of them.
Ye Yunting looked up and met Ye Sinian's gaze. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Niannian, I am your father."
Seeing Ye Sinian's brows furrow, he sighed and said, "When I transmigrated here, I don't know why I forgot some things, and I only remembered them today..."
"so what?"
Ye Sinian looked at him with a very calm gaze.
Ye Yunting sighed: "We can talk about these things later. I have something more important to tell you now. I suspect that the loss of your mother's ashes is related to someone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Sinian immediately tensed up: "Who is it?"
"Qi Yu".
Ye Yunting slowly uttered a name.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunting was shocked. Could it be a coincidence that they shared the same name?
