Chapter 410: 410, In a hurry, send bait to the door
Shi Yuhuan stared at the door she had closed, slowly closing his eyes.
But only for two seconds, he suddenly opened them again, a trace of agonizing pain, scorched by the years, swirling in his profound eyes.
He picked up his suit jacket and took out a ring from one of the pockets. It was a finely crafted ring that shone brightly under the light with its brilliant diamond face and perfectly cut edges.
Shi Yuhuan clutched it tightly in his hand and pulled out his phone to make a call: “How is the situation progressing?”
Chen Tian’s voice sounded on the other end of the phone: “Boss, Shi Mu goes to work regularly every day and hasn’t been in contact with any suspicious people.”
Shi Yuhuan opened his hand, looked down at the ring embedded in his palm, squinting his eyes slightly: “What about Yan Pingdan? Has he met Li Wei?”
“The two have met, but there seems to be some indifference? Yan Pingdan seems indifferent. They’re not acting like a couple, there’s no joy of reunion in Yan Pingdan’s treatment of Li Wei. His interactions with Shi Mu, Si Chen are… It seems a bit complicated.” Chen Tian’s words were as tangled as his observations.
Shi Yuhuan remained silent, the room had fallen into an eerie quietness.
After a while, he finally said: “Deliver some bait to Shi Mu.”
“Boss, right now?” Chen Tian’s eyebrows knitted together in surprise.
Why did he feel that the Boss was rushing things? It wasn’t originally planned like this. Sending Yan Pingdan to Shi Mu now might possibly tip him off.
“Yes,” Shi Yuhuan replied indifferently.
He was indeed eager, wanting to resolve everything and bring Song Qinghuan back.
But also, his sharp intuition had detected that Yan Pingdan seemed to be withholding some information: “Run a blood kinship test! Yan Pingdan and Song Qinghuan.”
Chen Tian was surprised again, but he didn’t ask further, only nodded lightly: “Alright.”

After returning from Shi Yuhuan’s residence, Song Qinghuan went straight to her room. Although she was drained from the ordeal Shi Yuhuan put her through, wanting nothing more than to collapse on the bed and sleep, she didn’t want to stay another moment in this place, she packed her things, intending to leave.
Mei Jun entered with a guilty expression on her face, along with Li Qianze.
Upon seeing Song Qinghuan packing her things, she hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry, Qinghuan, it’s my fault. Please don’t go?”
Song Qinghuan ignored her, shook off the hand that was trying to stop her, and continued packing.
Regret filled Mei Jun’s eyes until they seemed full of fog. She blinked as if tears were about to fall: “I was wrong, I apologize. Please don’t be mad!”
Then she looked at Li Qianze, hoping he would speak up.
“Miss Bai…” As soon as Li Qianze’s chuckling voice began, Song Qinghuan shot him a contemptuous glance. Her eyes were glaring icily, as sharp as knives.
Li Qianze immediately wiped the smile off his face, expressing regret like Mei Jun: “We know we were wrong. But we only wanted the best for both of you. We thought you two had a fight and wanted to create an opportunity for you to make up.”
Song Qinghuan paused in her packing, looked at him coldly, gave a sarcastic smile: “Fight? Who told you we had a fight?”
Li Qianze paused, taken aback: “You didn’t fight?”
Song Qinghuan hesitated for a moment before responding: “Could you use the right term? We didn’t ‘fight’, understand?”
Relieved, Li Qianze smiled: “No fight, that’s good news!”
