“Nothing,” answered Xiao Su simply. “Nothing?” Yan burst out laughing. “You wouldn’t show up if it’s nothing. I can tell from your expression that you are here to stir up trouble. What is it? We are presenting the compensation money on a silver platter.
Are you telling me that your company isn’t willing to let us go? Please don’t have that misconception again that Han Muzi is pestering your beloved Young Master Ye!” Xiao Su stuttered, “T-That’s not w-what I mean, I just…”
“Aren’t you just doing everything for the sake of your beloved Young Master Ye? Is that why you put all the blame on us—the women? Xiao Su, I used to admire you. Who would have thought that now, you are… Maybe I was just blind previously. Anyway, I am with Han Muzi on this.
We have breached the contract so please talk to our lawyer directly if you have any issues. Stop showing up at the entrance of our company building.” Yan turned around to enter the building after saying her piece, leaving Xiao Su standing alone with his billowing hair.
After a while, he lowered his head with a bitter smile. It looks like… I truly said something wrong the other day. In all honesty, I wasn’t thinking when I said that. It’s just that I’ve seen the state Ye Moxuan has been stuck in throughout the years, and that’s why I started to resent that woman.
That is why… I said something like that at the spur of the moment. Why did you come back since you had already left? Sigh, now it just seems like… Despite being back, she did not return for Ye Moxuan. Judging by what happened recently, she doesn’t care about Young Master Ye at all. Young Master Ye is the only one still living in the past.
Unfortunately, Xiao Su couldn’t possibly voice his thoughts to Ye Moxuan.
…
Mr. Nan soon drove Han Muzi to the destination. Since it had been agreed upon beforehand, it was a smooth process for Han Muzi to enter the place. The manager brought her into the control room. “Miss Han, have a look at these.”
“Thank you,” Han Muzi thanked the person sincerely then stood there looking through the surveillance footage seriously. She broke the silence when she saw a suspicious figure. “Can you please go back to ten seconds ago and replay that scene?”
The operator did as she requested. Han Muzi saw a person with a cap; the figure’s features were very well hidden and the built indicated that it was a man.
“Can I have a look at the footage of the surrounding areas?” Han Muzi tried her luck despite feeling a bit out of place.
The person frowned immediately. “Miss Han, I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
Han Muzi blinked several times.
“I’m so sorry, but we tried our best.”
Han Muzi did not press on since they wouldn’t budge. She just smiled politely and answered, “No worries, you guys were a great help. Thank you so much for this. I’ll buy you guys a meal next time.”
“Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to be so courteous. We are happy to do President Han a favor.”
They left the control room. Han Muzi and the man were at the end of the corridor when someone rushed over suddenly. “Young Master is back.”
The manager’s expression became pale when he heard that. “Why is Young Master back?”
Previously, when the young master visited, he reprimanded them about their job. They knew that he was unreasonable, and he did things resolutely. They were all afraid of him since they had previously suffered under his hands.
“Miss Han, I…” Just when he was speaking, a tall and well-built figure appeared in the corridor.
Everyone was stunned, including Han Muzi. She was puzzled when she saw the tall and well-built figure. Previously, she was wondering who the Young Master they were referring to was. Who would have thought?
The tall and handsome man marched forward with his strong and straight legs before stopping right in front of her. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were frosty when they swept over her face.
Everyone else was shaking in fear. “Y-Young Master.”
Han Muzi frowned slightly before stating quietly, “It seems like you all have some matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.” With that, Han Muzi thanked the manager and marched forward, preparing to leave.
However, when she was walking by Ye Moxuan, his arm shot out suddenly, and it pressed against the wall on the side, blocking her way forward.
Han Muzi stared at his arm incredulously.
Ye Moxuan did not remove his arm, and he remained motionless. His expression was dark, and it was obvious that he was burning in anger.
The employees thought that he was angry because Han Muzi had access to their premises. Hence, they started explaining on her behalf, “Young Master, she is from the Han Group…”
“Did I ask you to speak?” Ye Moxuan snapped at him while shooting him an icy glance.
That person shut up right away.
Han Muzi stood still since she was curious what Ye Moxuan was planning to do. She looked up at his side profile. “Can I help you?”
The staff all looked as pale as ghosts when they heard that. Our Young Master is like the Devil himself. Why is she speaking to him in that tone? What should we do if something bad happens later? I promised President Han earlier. If something happens to this woman here, the Han Family will hold a grudge against me. Besides, I might end up losing my job as well.”
The employee immediately explained with a quivering voice when the thought of losing his job crossed his mind, “I’m not associated with this matter, Young Master. She insisted on entering the premises, and I was forced into this situation.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his response. She frowned slightly while staring at that employee. He was so scared that his face was pale, and he looked as if he just saw a ghost. After weighing her options, Han Muzi sighed quietly in her heart and didn’t try explaining herself.
He promised to help me, but now that his boss shows up and finds out what’s happening, I suppose it’s normal for him to blame me. I can’t really blame him for that.
Han Muzi chuckled when she thought of that and looked up at Ye Moxuan. “That’s right, I entered on my own accord. So what? Can I leave now?”
“What do you think?” Ye Moxuan finally turned to her, and his gaze was steely.
Their eyes met, and Han Muzi’s lips parted suddenly as she said, “Since you have nothing to say, I’ll be leaving now.” With that, she reached out to smack away Ye Moxuan’s arm and prepared to leave the place.
However, Ye Moxuan grabbed her wrist without a word and dragged her forward.
Han Muzi’s expression soured immediately. “What are you doing? Let go of me! Ye Moxuan!!”
The group of staff witnessed the scene in fear. What is happening? Did that woman directly call our Young Master’s name? Could… they be acquainted?
At the thought of the possibility that Han Muzi might know Ye Moxuan, the group of staff almost wet their pants. I just accused that woman in front of the Young Master. Am I about to lose my job? The employee chased after them hastily when he thought of that. “Young Master, please listen to my explanation!”
“Ye Moxuan, did you come here to look for me? If not, please let go of me. Even if you did come here to look for me, please let go of me anyway. I have already terminated the contract with you. If you have any issues, take it up with my lawyer!”
