Mu Yanchen ignored Xiao Yi's blatant provocation. His attention was focused on the faint handwriting on the scraps of paper.

Between the lines, he had almost pieced together what had happened to her this month.

Xiao Yi clearly felt that Mu Yanchen was distracted. His eyes were fixed on the pieces of paper on the table, and not even a glance fell on him. He was like a clown who could not attract any attention no matter how he performed.

He lowered his eyebrows, and pursed the corners of his mouth. Then, he suddenly smiled again without knowing what he was thinking of. "Mu Yanchen, you are so disgusting. Does she know that you are so perverted? You want to keep pestering me even though your body is broken. If she knew, how do you think she would look at you? I feel excited just thinking about it."

Mu Yanchen raised his head slightly when he heard him mention her. As expected, Sheng Baiyi had always been the focus of his attention. If it weren't for her, even if Xiao Yi died in front of Mu Yanchen, he would not even blink an eye.

"So you are here to reject my request this time?" Mu Yanchen said lightly, although it was a question, his tone was firm.

Perhaps he had never intended to let Xiao Yi do this job for a long time. He discovered it halfway and was just waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing that Mu Yanchen was not panicking at all, Xiao Yi became a little anxious instead. "Although this is the case, you will never hear any detailed news about her again! Because I will be closer to her, she trusts me now, and I think she likes me a little bit."

When the word "like" was uttered, Xiao Yi indeed saw the cold and cruel light in Mu Yanchen's eyes, but Xiao Yi was not afraid at all, he was even a little excited.

Finally, he saw the expression on this superior man's face crack, and he felt that he was one step closer to success.

"Aren't you afraid of what I will do to you?" Mu Yanchen threatened rarely. If it were normal, he would let Xiao Yi leave after receiving those letters, but today he obviously talked too much.

Xiao Yi laughed. His laugh was exaggerated and unrestrained. All the injustice and grievances were suddenly released.

He leaned his hands on the edge of the table, looking down at Mu Yanchen, "You won't do that. You know Sheng Baiyi and I are very close, and how could I not hold back? If you do anything to me, she will find clues from the things I left for her. If I don't live well, you won't live well either. And you are completely finished in front of her. You know what kind of person she is better than me!"

Xiao Yi touched his eyebrows and said, "Let me think about it. You must care a lot about her thoughts and impressions of you. You don't want to show any bad things in front of her. So now you don't dare to appear in front of her. Am I right?"

Mu Yanchen raised his eyebrows, as if Xiao Yi had hit the nail on the head, but only he himself knew the details.

Xiao Yi felt that his analysis was correct, and even hit Mu Yanchen's sore spot. "I am here to reject you this time. I will not interfere with the work of delivering information in the future. You can find someone else. If you threaten me in any way, I don't mind telling Sheng Baiyi everything about you. I believe that as long as she listens to it, the possibility of you being by her side will be reduced to zero."

Xiao Yi told Mu Yanchen about his plan without thinking, but Mu Yanchen didn't look at him again. He reached out and picked up a piece of paper with her name written on it. As long as it was related to her, his eyes became unconsciously gentle.

He turned around in his chair, not looking at Xiao Yi again, and then said lightly after a while, "Okay, you can go."

When Xiao Yi walked out of the study, he was actually a little bit in disbelief. In his script, it was not that simple. This negotiation seemed like a unilateral victory for him. He recovered, met a wonderful girl, and got rid of a superior who might have been bothering him for a long time, and it seemed that he did not have to pay any price at all.

Lin Han saw Xiao Yi coming out of the study and went to greet him, "Mr. Xiao, have you discussed everything?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Lin Han suspiciously, and his heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that all this was as they had expected, but looking at Lin Han's kind face, he could not discover anything.

He nodded, "It's settled. Mr. Mu told me not to come here anymore."

"Well," Lin Han said as he led the way, "Then take care, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yi didn't wake up from his dream until he walked out of the manor. His heart seemed to jump out of his body. He succeeded.

After that, Mu Yanchen did not harass him anymore. It was as if he had disappeared from his world. Xiao Yi was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, he was no longer so nervous.

He put all his attention on Sheng Baiyi. Sheng Baiyi did admire his ambition and elegance, but what she didn't know was that his elegant appearance was actually just to please her. He spent a lot of money to buy that information from other people. With his appearance and talent, he quickly won her favor.

When she agreed to be his girlfriend, he really thought he had reached the pinnacle of his life. That was someone that even Mu Yanchen couldn't get! But he got her.

As time went by, he realized that the relationship between him and Sheng Baiyi was mostly friendly and lacked intimacy. Every time he wanted to take further action, Sheng Baiyi would refuse. She seemed to be naturally not interested in matters between men and women. But he changed his mind and thought that with her outstanding career, it was inevitable that she would be naive about matters between men and women. Moreover, he felt that she was already his girlfriend and would definitely be his in the future. He didn't need to be so anxious and should be more patient with her.

It was only later that Xiao Yi realized that he was so wrong. What was it that Mu Yanchen had never had Sheng Baiyi? That was completely his imagination.

How did he know?

That was after he entered Xinrui Pharmaceutical Company. Because of his outstanding abilities, he was soon noticed by some people who were more senior than Mu Yanchen, namely the one from Shengjing.

He didn't know who he was at first, he only knew that he was more powerful than Mu Yanchen, and that the hostility he showed towards Mu Yanchen was what he valued, and he understood the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

He is no longer a young man, and he has begun to curry favor with those in power. He no longer engages in provocative behavior like he did to Mu Yanchen. He then came into contact with more core groups and received information that was unknown to the outside world.

He knew the secret of Mu Yanchen's body, the significance of the drugs developed by Xinrui Pharmaceutical Company, and the significance of Sheng Baiyi to Mu Yanchen and the man in Shengjing. Most importantly, he knew that Mu Yanchen and Sheng Baiyi were lovers in high school, but Sheng Baiyi had forgotten him.

Everything makes sense now. Why did Mu Yanchen act like that? Why did Sheng Baiyi, despite having a good impression of him, hesitate to accept him?

The victory he once thought was just a fleeting glimpse, a mirage!
