Mu Yinyin tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, calming her emotions before speaking softly, "Thank you for this time. I'll be careful from now on and won't let myself get into trouble. Don't worry, I won't upset Grandma."
The implication was that he shouldn't concern himself with what happened next.
Fu Siye let out a scoff and chillingly retorted, "To be honest, the mastermind behind this is the Shu family."
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but frown. "The Shu family?"
The Shu family, who were engaged to Qi Mo and the foremost family in Country E?
Fu Siye naturally noticed the doubt in Mu Yinyin's eyes and no longer concealed anything. "Yes, the Shu family you're thinking of."
Mu Yinyin immediately understood. If the Shu family wanted to maintain their position as the foremost family, they would naturally need to eliminate collateral branches like the Qi and Ai families.
She had become entangled in a wealthy family's internal strife.
Fu Siye, having bailed her out, would inevitably be involved.
But the next moment, she spoke coldly, "So what? Are we supposed to abandon them and save ourselves? We're in the same boat now."
The Shu family was targeting all of them.
And… the three of them were poisoned!
Fu Siye's expression turned grim, and he spoke calmly, "The Qi and Ai families will also take action. It's not your place to worry about."
"Regardless, I bailed you out. You owe me a favor, that's a must." Fu Siye seized the opportunity to state his request.
Hearing Fu Siye's words and seeing his resolute expression, Mu Yinyin couldn't help but want to laugh. "So? You want to use this favor to get me to save Nan Shiqing? Fu Siye, I really must remind you, Nan Shiqing is not a good person. Your car accident and her poisoning were all orchestrated by her."
Mu Yinyin's animosity towards Nan Shiqing was strong, even resorting to smearing her.
Fu Siye frowned.
It was one thing for Mu Yinyin to dislike Nan Shiqing, but for Dyson, his best brother, to also dislike Nan Shiqing was another matter.
Dyson had once said something similar to Mu Yinyin—
"Liking or disliking someone is never without reason."
Therefore, after Dyson spoke about Nan Shiqing, his heart wavered, and he had Mu Teng investigate Nan Shiqing.
Dyson had never explicitly stated that the car accident and poisoning were Nan Shiqing's own staged performance, but then again, staging a car accident?
Could Nan Shiqing have planned it so well that she guaranteed her own safety?
Seeing Fu Siye remain silent, Mu Yinyin also noticed the doubt and deep thought in his eyes, and she continued to remind him, "Nan Shiqing is not as simple as you think. Fu Siye, why was she exposed as poisoned right after the car accident? Nan Shiqing's most common tactic is outright denial!"
"And she cries at the drop of a hat. Haven't you had enough of seeing her cry?"
Whether men or women, anyone could experience aesthetic fatigue.
With Nan Shiqing crying frequently, Fu Siye would inevitably be weary of it.
Moreover, sometimes she even had concrete evidence against Nan Shiqing, catching her dead to rights.
As such, Mu Yinyin immediately followed up with Fu Siye, "And Lu Shan, whom I mentioned to you, you can also investigate Lu Shan's identity. There were many things I didn't explain clearly to you about the design competition. Nan Shiqing managed to find someone to replace her design draft at the design competition. Do you think the person she found would be an ordinary person?"
Not an ordinary person, and she herself would resort to any means to achieve her goals.
Mu Yinyin's words undoubtedly pulled Fu Siye's thoughts back, drawing him directly to the scene.
Nan Shiqing's tears, and Nan Shiqing's methods.
"Fu Siye, think about it carefully yourself!"
Mu Yinyin finally uttered these words to Fu Siye before turning to leave.
If he believed her, she had said enough.
If he didn't believe her, no amount of words would make a difference.
Nan Shiqing was her enemy. The reason she lingered to talk to Fu Siye so much was not to make Fu Siye change his mind.
Rather, she would never let the person who killed her father go unpunished!
Soon, she found a police officer and requested to see Ding Lei. The officer handling the case knew that Mu Yinyin had been brought in from Jianggang Wharf and then released by direct order from higher up. He dared not slight Mu Yinyin, knowing her background. "You can see Ding Lei, but you only have five minutes."
Mu Yinyin immediately nodded in agreement.
Five minutes was enough for her.
Thus, in the interrogation room, she saw Ding Lei.
For Ding Lei, Mu Yinyin was the one who pulled him back from the brink of death. The moment he saw Mu Yinyin, Ding Lei naturally recognized her at first glance.
His eyes held more surprise.
He never imagined that Mu Yinyin, who had saved him, would be so young and beautiful.
Mu Yinyin opened her lips and spoke in a low, cold voice, "Why were you poisoned? You evaded the crucial points in front of the police, but you can't escape my eyes."
Ding Lei frowned and remained silent.
Mu Yinyin, watching him, continued to guide him, "You were poisoned because someone wanted to silence you. Do you think your death will bring peace to your family and ensure their well-being and endless wealth for the rest of their lives? I'm telling you, even if you become a scapegoat, the compensation you took will be unearthed, every bit of it. Even your family will be silenced."
"You're spouting nonsense!" Ding Lei slammed the table and stood up.
His face contorted with ferocious anger.
His extreme reaction caused Mu Yinyin to chuckle softly. "If I were spouting nonsense, why would you be so agitated?"
Ding Lei's expression changed, and for a moment, he seemed flustered.
Mu Yinyin raised an eyebrow and stated clearly, word by word, "You are an intelligent person, otherwise, you wouldn't have held such an important position for so long. This is because you have gained their trust."
Ding Lei's emotions gradually stabilized.
Seeing this, Mu Yinyin continued, "I know you must have kept something for yourself. Bring out the evidence you have. I believe Qi Mo will give you a way out. The Shu family uses improper means to maintain their status as the foremost family. Do you think they would allow such a stain like you to exist?"
By the end of her words, Ding Lei's complexion had changed drastically.
Mu Yinyin was merely an outsider. She hadn't been by Qi Mo's side for long, so how could Mu Yinyin know these internal conflicts so clearly?
Especially when Ding Lei noticed Fu Siye standing behind Mu Yinyin.
At that moment, Fu Siye, clad in a black suit, stood tall and imposing. Most importantly, his sharp gaze swept over, exuding an air of disdain.
Ding Lei's eyelashes trembled. Realizing Fu Siye's extraordinary status, he couldn't help but size up Mu Yinyin, as the two men beside her were each more formidable than the other.
