Chapter 233: Chapter 0233: Can’t Afford to Offend, Can Only Pamper

Mu Lan watched Yun Xi, who had a slender figure, approaching. She didn’t speak much, but somehow she radiated a sense of safety.

“About the car accident?”

Yun Xi nodded and stopped near the coffee table.

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes signaled towards a single-seater sofa beside him, he then said,

“Sit.”

Yun Xi sat on the single-seater sofa to the left of Mu Lan, sitting upright.

“During the days you went to Paris, I returned to the boss. Miss Jing helped with the investigation. Pei Zhao had studied psychology abroad at university before, so combining what I saw at the scene of the accident, him holding a pocket watch in his hand…

I have reason to suspect that he hypnotized Miss Mu to make you remember things from the past, but precisely lost the last three months of memory.”

Mu Lan shook her head in disbelief.

“How is that possible? Then what was the cause of my previous memory loss? It’s not like programming a computer.”

Clearly, Mu Lan did not accept Yun Xi’s claim.

Yun Xi wasn’t in a hurry, and continued,

“I’m just saying this is my reasonable guess, I really don’t have enough substantial evidence.

However, Pei Zhao is no simple character, although his legs are disabled, he can still easily overpower me.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at Yun Xi in surprise.

“What did you say?”

Yun Xi pursed her lips, feeling somewhat ashamed, but she had to tell the truth.

“Mr. Huo, I’m sorry, during the last accident, I failed to protect Mu Lan. I had already subdued his bodyguard, but after Pei Zhao made his move, I couldn’t get close to him at all. He inserted a silver needle in the pressure point on my arm; any rash movement could have paralyzed me.”

This was completely unexpected for Huo Tingxiao. Pei Zhao indeed had extraordinary skills; when they were in the Jiaolong Squad, he and Pei Zhao were known as the Jiaolong Twin Stars, not just for their combat skills, but all their abilities were very outstanding.

Yet, considering Yun Xi’s strength, even Huo Tingxiao wasn’t entirely sure he could win against her, let alone a disabled Pei Zhao.

What on earth had he experienced over these years…

“After all, you were injured during the car accident and had fought with his bodyguard. It’s understandable that you were overpowered.”

Yun Xi shook her head, feeling these were not excuses.

“Even if I had attacked with all my strength, I would not be his match.

Pei Zhao is truly terrifying, Mu Lan, it’s better for you to stay away from him.”

Rarely had Yun Xi spoken so much at once, but Mu Lan had already forgotten the past events and Huo Tingxiao wasn’t sure how much weight his words would carry with her.

Mu Lan pondered for a while, then simply said,

“Thank you, Miss Yun, I understand.”

The words “Miss Yun” made a trace of sadness slip through Yun Xi’s eyes.

“You’re welcome.”

Huo Tingxiao was somewhat anxious; Yun Xi had put it so plainly, yet Mu Lan still didn’t plan to believe it?

“Mu Lan, you can be mad at me all you want, but you can’t joke about your own safety.

If your studio needs a partner, I…”

Mu Lan didn’t even think before rejecting him,

“I don’t need one.”

Then, she looked at Yun Xi, her tone immediately much softer.

“Miss Yun, could you help me up? I’d like to go back to my room to rest.”

Yun Xi first glanced at Huo Tingxiao, who slightly nodded, then offered her arm to help Mu Lan upstairs.

Huo Tingxiao’s expression darkened, yet he dared not lash out, having just thrown a tantrum himself. She was already upset, and if he said something irreversible now, he would be the one to regret it later. At this moment, he couldn’t afford to offend her; he could only pamper her.

After Mu Lan went upstairs, she didn’t rush to send Yun Xi away.

“Miss Yun, was what you just said true?”

Yun Xi looked at her, her feelings a complex mix. Previously, Mu Lan had trusted her completely, making Yun Xi feel deeply responsible for her.

But now…

“It’s true, even if it involves Mr. Huo, I wouldn’t help him deceive you.”

Mu Lan quickly explained.

“I didn’t mean that, and I’m not afraid that you’re colluding with Huo Tingxiao, I just find it a bit hard to believe.

Strangely, even though we haven’t communicated much, I inexplicably feel a sense of security around you. If my words just now made you uncomfortable, please don’t take it to heart.”

Yun Xi indeed felt much more at ease, as long as Mu Lan wasn’t suspecting her.

“I won’t.”

As if suddenly remembering something, Yun Xi spoke again:

“From now on, just call me Yun Xi, not Miss Yun.”

Yun Xi didn’t like that, it was as if it reminded her of the time when she felt like she was dreaming.

Mu Lan nodded with a smile.

“Okay, Yun Xi.”

With her satisfactory answer, Yun Xi turned and left the room.

She had just stepped out when she saw Huo Tingxiao, and instinctively she took a half-step back.

Huo Tingxiao, worried she might speak, quickly placed his index finger to his lips signaling her to be silent.

Yun Xi closed the door and followed Huo Tingxiao to the study.

“Mr. Huo, did you want to ask me something?”

Huo Tingxiao’s face was chilling to look at, clearly agitated at the thought of Pei Zhao.

“Did Jing Rong find out anything else?”

“Miss Jing said that Pei Zhao has a vast organization backing him, and the information that can be found now is only what the enemy intentionally released.

She tried many times, but couldn’t trace Pei Zhao’s movements over these years, not even his medical records exist, but it’s impossible for someone to never fall ill.

Even the company only parachuted him in to become CEO a year ago.”

After Yun Xi said this, Huo Tingxiao narrowed his eyes, wondering since when Pei Zhao had become involved with such an organization?

And to be capable of all this, one would need exceptional skills.

No wonder an elite hacker like Jing Rong couldn’t dig up any information, and that he had vanished without a trace for seven years.

“Has Jing Rong returned to Shen City?”

“Miss Jing has already gone back to the United Kingdom to continue her PhD.”

Jing Rong left, and Yunzhan didn’t return to Shen City? He was still drinking with me yesterday.

A moment of silence, Yun Xi lowered her eyes, there was something she kept hidden in her heart and hadn’t shared with Huo Tingxiao, given it involved her privacy.

Subconsciously, she touched her neck, the tattoo should not reveal its original form, how could he recognize it at a glance?

Could it be that he is connected to that organization? Aside from people from the organization, no one would recognize this tattoo.

But that’s not right, if the organization still existed, they wouldn’t let her roam freely.

This Pei Zhao, he’s enshrouded in too many mysteries.

“Mu Lan’s foot still needs extra care, thank you for your trouble.”

Yun Xi looked up at Huo Tingxiao.

“Mr. Huo, you are too polite.

If you have no other instructions, I will leave now.”

Huo Tingxiao nodded.

“Hmm.”

When Gu Xiaoman made the call, Mu Lan was writing an email to Liu Ai.

“Hello?”

The sound of Gu Xiaoman’s soprano voice came through the phone, tinged with slight panic.

“Quick, look at the trending searches!”

“What happened?”

Mu Lan set the phone aside, switched on the speaker, and quickly logged onto the web.

When she saw a particular trending search, she was startled.
