The nurse finished wiping Mu Ronyao and quickly left the ward. Qin Weiying had been waiting at the door. The moment she saw the nurse, she pulled out five hundred yuan from her pocket.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" weiwei asked urgently.
"Yes, yes! There are marks everywhere her neck, her chest, even her thighs! There are kiss marks and finger marks all over!" the nurse said excitedly, pulling a tiny pinhole camera from her pocket.
Qin Weiying's eyes lit up as she snatched the camera. "Really?"
"Of course!" The nurse happily counted the money, nodding nonstop. "I recorded everything.
You can check it yourself!"
With that, the nurse left the corridor smiling. Qin Weiying stared at the camera in her hand, her expression nearly bursting with delight.
Earlier that afternoon, Qin Weiying had accidentally overheard the nurse tending to Mu Ronyao mention that there were bruises on her body. At the time, she had been puzzled.
She had been with Lin Chengyi for so many years, yet they had never even shared a deep kiss. How could Mu Ronyao who always appeared cold and reserved have such marks?.
So that was it.
The so-called saint she had admired was nothing more than a woman who refused to sleep with Lin Chengyi yet fooled around with another man behind his back!
A sneer curved Qin Weiying's lips. She really wanted to see what would happen once both families found out. What kind of ending would Mu Ronyao face then?
"Boss, Huangda Group has indicated that they're willing to reduce the price by two billion."
Xiao Sheng entered the office with a file and handed it to Ye Xuanchen.
"The company's finances are already in the red. If no one takes over, Huangda won't last more than half a year."
Ye Xuanchen took a slow drag from his cigar, his expression indifferent. After listening to the report, he merely narrowed his eyes.
"I heard Huangda has been contacting a new partner recently."
"Yes," Xiao Sheng replied.
"They're targeting Micro Light Electronics. The internal crisis at Huangda is only known to the upper management. Their employees don't know yet. All long-term partners have withdrawn, and they're desperately looking for a new buyer."
"Micro Light Electronics has been doing well these past two years," Ye Xuanchen said calmly as he exhaled a smoke ring.
"Naturally, Huangda wants to profit from them."
Xiao Sheng nodded and wisely stopped pressing the issue.
"And the woman you asked me to investigate?" Ye Xuanchen asked suddenly.
"I found her information. Her name is Mu Ronyao. She's an adopted daughter of the Mu family they don't value her much.
Coincidentally, she's currently working at Micro Light Electronics."
Ye Xuanchen raised an eyebrow, interest flickering in his eyes. "Oh?"
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Sheng hesitated but ultimately chose not to mention that Mu Ronyao already had a fiancé working at the same company. Ye Xuanchen had never shown much interest in women before this was the first time Xiao Sheng had seen such a response.
"I'll give you a more detailed report once I uncover more," Xiao Sheng said.
Ye Xuanchen nodded lightly, picking up another file. "Alright. Go rest."
Mu Ronyao had been hospitalized for three days. The injury on her back had finally healed, and the wound on her forehead had scabbed over her bangs were enough to conceal it.
During those days, no one from the Mu family came to see her. There was also no word from the Lin family.
Mu Ronyao wasn't surprised.
She was only an adopted daughter; indifference from the Mu family was nothing new. As for the Lin family, infidelity was a disgrace. Lin Chengyi would never admit such a thing to them first.
Lying alone on the hospital bed, Mu Ronyao felt a bitter ache spread through her chest. Since childhood, she had never truly been loved by anyone.
She once thought that meeting Lin Chengyi marked the beginning of a beautiful life yet it had turned into a complete disaster.
Her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to that night.
Mu Ronyao's face burned. She lifted her hand and lightly slapped her own cheek.
"What am I thinking?" she muttered.
"He was just a man I picked up randomly. It was embarrassing enough already why am I still dwelling on it?!"
