Chapter 562: Chapter 0562: Conjecture Verified
Ye Xunhuan’s heart sank slightly. What on earth had Xiao Jiu discovered that he needed to brace himself mentally?
Glancing at Qin Muge beside him, Ye Xunhuan slowly stood up, then walked aside!
"Tell me, what did you find out!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice was filled with gravity, mixed with a rising expectation.
He was hoping what Xiao Jiu had found would match his imagination!
"Brother Huan, did you know Mu Tiange is gay?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart rate began to accelerate.
If Mu Tiange was gay, then that meant he and Su Guyan were...
"Are you sure he’s not bisexual?"
"Definite!" Xiao Jiu said emphatically, "Though Mu Tiange hides it well, there is no wall in the world that doesn’t let some wind blow through!"
"What else did you find out?"
"The marriage between Su Guyan and Mu Tiange is a transaction!"
"A transaction?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Jiu took a deep breath. He couldn’t believe he had unearthed so much information, much of it connected to Ye Xunhuan.
He also understood why Ye Xunhuan had asked him to investigate everything about Su Guyan and Mu Tiange.
"It should be a transaction, based on what I found. Remember when you were in school, you beat up Mu Tiange so badly he was utterly disgraced, and I heard you even scared him into wetting his pants, right?"
"Cut the crap and get to the point!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Xiao Jiu impatiently!
"Back in school, you completely offended Mu Tiange, for which he set you up, leading you to injure someone, and that someone had strong connections. If they sought revenge against you..."
"Damn it, revenge is useless, Aunt Qin can make him disappear without a trace with just one word!"
"I told you to stick to the main point!"
"Brother Huan, if anyone is to blame, it’s Aunt Qin, who has kept your identity too well hidden. No one knows, and she doesn’t inquire into any of your affairs, not even your school knew about your background and identity!"
"In such a situation, with this incident, everyone would panic. At that time, Su Guyan was very anxious—oh, and there was also a woman named Chu Ji!"
Xiao Jiu had practically dug up everything from Ye Xunhuan’s school days, useful or not.
"Brother Huan, do you realize this Chu Ji is not simple at all..."
"Xiao Jiu, I told you to talk about the main issue, didn’t you understand me!"
Xiao Jiu felt speechless. He had intended to brief Ye Xunhuan about Chu Ji, but it seemed that apart from concerning himself with Su Guyan, Ye Xunhuan hardly cared about anything else!
"Didn’t you get caught fighting because Mu Tiange set you up, and Su Guyan went asking others for help? But who would bother with her? Eventually, she turned to Mu Tiange!" Xiao Jiu summarized succinctly: "What exactly the two discussed, no one knows except them!"
"I found some of Mu Tiange’s school friends and managed to find out that when Su Guyan went to ask Mu Tiange for help, he had everyone else thrown out!"
"After that, Su Guyan broke up with you, and I suspect it had something to do with their conversation!"
"Moreover, I found out that the reason you were unharmed initially was not because Aunt Qin intervened, but because Mu Tiange approached the person you had injured, instructing him not to trouble you or target you again!"
"Are you sure about all this?"
"I can guarantee it with my head." Xiaojiu said solemnly, "I asked all these from people at your school back then, and I even found the guy you had injured!"
"He told me, but exactly what Mu Tiange and Su Guyan were up to, nobody really knows, and it was after that Su Guyan broke up with you!"
"It must have been the terms Mu Tiange set when she went to plead with him," Xiaojiu said uncertainly, "What agreement Su Guyan and Mu Tiange reached back then needs you to ask Su Guyan yourself!"
Upon hearing Xiaojiu’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s face shifted unpredictably.
What Xiaojiu said confirmed all the suspicions in his heart!
Su Guyan and Mu Tiange were together, indeed because of him.
"Bro Ye, there’s something else I’m not sure if I should say or not?"
"Go ahead?"
"Su Guyan’s situation isn’t good."
"What do you mean?"
"I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Su Guyan faced several assassination attempts in Tianjin; someone wants her dead; there were a lot of rumors back then!"
Xiaojiu told Ye Xunhuan everything he knew, without holding anything back, "The most common rumors are that Mu Tiange and Su Guyan were on bad terms, Su Guyan held forty-nine percent of the Empire Group’s shares, Mu Tiange wanted them back, but Su Guyan refused, turning them into sworn enemies!"
"Another rumor is that Su Guyan offended someone in the business world, and someone wants her dead, or that it was Mu Tiange who offended someone, and Su Guyan is merely a scapegoat!"
"Those are the three most widespread versions."
Ye Xunhuan had heard about some of these rumors from Qin Muge but never in such detail as Xiaojiu had provided!
"Also, Bro Ye, Su Guyan’s life within the Mu family isn’t as good as others imagine," Xiaojiu added, "Maybe it’s because of her status, Su Guyan is somewhat unwelcome!"
"But with Mu Tiange around, even if people were dissatisfied, they wouldn’t do much, but now that you’ve killed Mu Tiange, her situation in the Mu family will get even tougher."
As Xiaojiu spoke, he seemed to recall something, "I almost forgot, Bro Ye, the Mu family seems to have noticed Mu Tiange’s death and has begun searching for him all over the world, likely because of Su Guyan’s assassination attempts, they suspect it’s due to a fallout with Mu Tiange over the assets."
"Su Guyan has returned to Tianjin because of this; the situation there is very tense, and the atmosphere in the Mu family is heavy, like a storm is brewing. If they continue not to find Mu Tiange, Su Guyan might be in grave danger!"
"Have someone keep a close watch on Tianjin," Ye Xunhuan said gravely, "Inform me immediately of any incident!"
"Don’t worry, Bro Ye, I’ve already instructed Xiao Ma to do so."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, his face filled with complexity; his suspicions had all been confirmed, down to the last detail!
But why would Su Guyan lie to him?
Why wouldn’t she tell him these things?
Ye Xunhuan longed to confront Su Guyan and ask her why?
But now that Su Guyan had apparently returned to Tianjin, confronting her directly seemed almost impossible.
