It was unfortunate that such a skilled person had only a few days left to live.
However, he also felt a stir of curiosity and, without further hesitation, made a phone call—
"Who did Mu Yinyin offend to warrant an emergency meeting of the gang to formulate a plan to kill her?"
"Han, you never concern yourself with the gang's affairs. Don't become interested in Mu Yinyin just because she's attacking our firewall today!"
A stern voice came through the phone, but the man called 'Han' heard it with perfect clarity.
When he first discovered the firewall was under attack, he hadn't known it was Mu Yinyin until the IP address displayed the祁 family's castle.
Furthermore, Mu Yinyin was also the target of their Azure Dragon Gang's attack today, so his last remark about her being a "person about to die" was merely a test.
He hadn't replied or continued the attack after that, which served as verification for his suspicions.
As if on cue, before he could say anything, the stern voice echoed from the phone again: "You are responsible for the gang's system; other matters are not your concern."
With those words, Han understood that if their leader was so agitated, Mu Yinyin wouldn't live for more than 24 hours at most.
Mu Yinyin, a woman with such advanced computer skills, he admired her.
If she weren't fated to die, he would have truly wanted to face her and have a good competition.
"Mmm."
Han suppressed his thoughts and hung up the phone.
However, they had crossed paths.
If she died, he would help place a bouquet of flowers at her grave.
After all, they had clashed today.
...
Meanwhile.
Fu Siye had already instructed someone to pinpoint the exact room number of the person who was spying on Nan Shiqing, as described by her. That person was merely observing the starry sky with binoculars.
Because he was in a residential area, the floor-to-ceiling windows were not privacy-tinted, but the hotel where Fu Siye was staying had excellent privacy measures.
He couldn't see anything clearly from this side.
Even the cameras captured not a single photo of Nan Shiqing, nor were there any on his phone.
Upon confirming the person's innocence, the subordinate reported the facts to Fu Siye. Fu Siye then relayed this information to Nan Shiqing. Simultaneously, the subordinate brought Nan Shiqing's belongings.
Nan Shiqing: "..."
How could his investigation be so swift!
She had been so happy when she saw the camera opposite today. But she hadn't expected this to happen so soon, not even a full night had passed!
Looking at the man's cold face, she was afraid Fu Siye might misunderstand, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Siye. I was really scared by what happened today..."
She lowered her head, feigning a frightened demeanor.
She didn't want to leave.
But she had no choice but to go.
"You felt there was a shadow over there? Then I'll get you another room," Fu Siye said slowly, still giving no indication of wanting Nan Shiqing to stay.
Nan Shiqing quickly waved her hand to refuse, acting understandingly, "No need. The person wasn't trying to spy on me, and the hotel is very safe, plus you're right across from me. Siye, I'll go back to my room to rest now. Thank you for your trouble in coming here."
With that, Nan Shiqing nodded apologetically towards Fu Siye.
She was preparing to get her luggage.
However, Fu Siye didn't let her handle it, instead gesturing to a subordinate beside him, "You escort her."
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
The subordinate responded swiftly.
Nan Shiqing also nodded slowly at Fu Siye, "Siye, goodnight."
She left, and Fu Siye made no move to stop her.
No matter how upset Nan Shiqing was, she couldn't shamelessly refuse to leave.
She couldn't let Fu Siye perceive her intentions too clearly.
Fu Siye then proceeded to handle his work.
About half an hour later, Fu Siye's frustration became unbearable. He picked up his phone, intending to make a call, but then noticed the time: 11:45 PM.
He tentatively sent a text message:
— Fu Siye: [Are you asleep?]
Fu Siye's message popped up on Mu Yinyin's phone. Mu Yinyin was watching television.
Seeing his message, Mu Yinyin casually replied:
— Mu Yinyin: [No, is something up?]
— Fu Siye: [Are you okay now? What time will you come tomorrow?]
Fu Siye also recalled the thrilling events at the Feast of Joy today, where they had narrowly escaped being caught by those people and killed by gunfire.
This message made Mu Yinyin frown instantly.
— Mu Yinyin: [Postpone the matter you arranged for tomorrow; I'm busy tomorrow.]
After sending the message, Mu Yinyin casually tossed her phone aside.
She could already picture Fu Siye's cold expression, his furrowed brow, and the gloom in his dark eyes.
Asking her when she would come?
She wasn't his bodyguard, why should she be available at his beck and call?
Her reply left Fu Siye momentarily speechless.
His mood turned heavy.
She couldn't even manage a simple basic communication now!
He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
Then, in the next moment, his expression suddenly turned extremely grim!
What was he doing!?
He actually sent a message like this to Mu Yinyin!?
Damn it!!!
He wished he could smash Mu Yinyin's phone right then and make her forget all about this.
Finally, to quell his frustration, Fu Siye lit a cigarette.
In the white mist, his face was obscured.
...
The next day.
Mu Yinyin woke up around 6 AM. With no more sleepiness, she decided to go for a walk outside.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Qi Mo, who had just returned from his morning run, wearing a light gray tracksuit.
Qi Mo asked her with concern, "Why so early? Did you not sleep well?"
Mu Yinyin smiled and shook her head, walking forward as she spoke, "Not at all. I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
Qi Mo had no choice but to catch up to her pace, "Then I'll accompany you."
The Qi family's estate was European castle-style, occupying almost an entire hilltop.
The plane trees lining the road grew tall, alongside meticulously cultivated flowers of various kinds.
Little birds perched on the treetops. This kind of life was something she had always longed for.
It was just a pity...
"Do you like it here?" Qi Mo's voice abruptly pulled her thoughts back.
Mu Yinyin nodded.
Although she hadn't achieved her wish, it didn't deter her longing for such a life.
This prompted Qi Mo to take a step closer, "Then perhaps..."
Before he could finish speaking, a car stopped in front of them.
Mu Yinyin didn't recognize it, but Qi Mo immediately did.
This was the car his parents always used when they went out!
The driver was also the family's old chauffeur, Old Li.
The next moment, the car door was opened.
