I failed again

"You're welcome." Bai Xiaoyun smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "As long as you like it."

He Yue always felt that Bai Xiaoyun's words were strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

Maybe I'm overthinking it?

"Well...you guys take your time chatting, I'll go entertain other people first." He Yue made up an excuse and left.

She didn't dare to stay any longer where Bai Xiaoyun was, so it was better for her to slip away first.

When Si Heng came back, he only saw He Yue's back, almost running away. He asked Lin Ze, "What happened to her?"

Scared away, Lin Ze looked at Bai Xiaoyun standing next to him and said, "She's gone to entertain others, let's do as we please."

Bai Xiaoyun glanced at Lin Ze and said nothing.

After returning from He's house, Si Heng began to find various reasons to ask Lin Ze to take him out to play. At first, Lin Ze was reluctant to agree, but later, unable to bear Si Heng's pleading, Lin Ze accompanied Si Heng out.

It is worth mentioning that Si Heng took the initiative to quit his job.

Lin Ze didn't agree at first, but Si Heng said that he stayed in the manor every day and had no time to go to class, so he would not take up the academy teacher's position, so Lin Ze didn't care.

Today, Lin Ze was going to attend a symposium. When he was leaving in the morning, Si Heng suddenly said, "I will go to an art exhibition with Yun Yao later. After the exhibition, we will have lunch outside and come back."

"Yes." Lin Ze said, "Should I let my assistant follow you?"

"You don't need it yourself?" Si Heng said, "Besides, Yun Yao has social phobia, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable with an assistant."

"Besides, Qin Fang is with you, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Ze thought about it and agreed, so he didn't force it.

"Do you want a driver to take you there?" Lin Ze asked.

"No need, Yun Yao will come to pick me up later, and I will go directly with him." Si Heng said.

Lin Ze hummed, said nothing more, and went out directly.

After Si Heng watched Lin Ze's car drive out, he went to the restaurant to eat. Just after he finished eating, he received a message from Yun Yao, saying that he had arrived and asked when he would come out.

Si Heng picked up his phone and went out.

The two of them arrived at the exhibition together. The adjutant accompanied them in, and Si Heng accompanied Yun Yao as they walked around, stopping and strolling.

"It will most likely be Qin Muxiu who will accompany you to the art exhibition in the future." Si Heng said.

"There are also some masters' art exhibitions held on other planets." Yun Yao said this, and the meaning behind his words was very clear. Brother Si Heng could still accompany him to the art exhibitions on other planets.

"That won't do." Si Heng said, "I'd better not disturb your and Qin Muxiu's world of two, otherwise, he will eat me alive."

After all, Yun Yao is married and still spends time with her every day. Yun Yao doesn't think it's a big deal, but Qin Muxiu might have some objections.

Moreover, if he stayed with Yun Yao for too long, he would be finished if Lin Ze found out about him.

"I'm leaving first. Remember to eat on time." Si Heng said.

"Yeah, I know." Yun Yao's voice was muffled.

Qin Fang looked at Si Heng and was very confused. Why did Si Heng say something strange?

Also, where is Si Heng going? Didn't he agree to have dinner with Mr. Yun?

Yun Yao looked at Si Heng's back as he left, then turned to his adjutant and said, "Uncle Qin, do you know of any good restaurants nearby?"

"There is a restaurant owned by the Lin family." Qin Fang looked at Si Heng's departing figure and said, "Want to eat there, Mr. Yun?"

Yun Yao shook his head and said, "Let's go to another restaurant. I don't want to eat at the Lin family's."

Qin Fang looked at Yun Yao and sighed, thinking whether to tip off or not, "Then let's go to another house."

Yun Yao suddenly looked at Qin Fang and said, "Uncle Qin, you won't say anything, right?"

Qin Fang was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Mr. Yun, you really make it difficult for me."

"The Qin family is not involved." Yun Yao lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Qin Fang thought about it, well... Mr. Yun just came out with Si Heng to see the art exhibition. After the exhibition, Si Heng found an excuse to leave early, and he couldn't stop him, so he could only let him leave.

This reason is not impossible.

So, Qin Fang said, "Mr. Yun, I can only wait half an hour at most before telling Mr. Lin that Mr. Si has left."

In this way, I will have a reason to help argue that Mr. Yun was also being used.

I just don’t know if Mr. Lin will be able to stop the man in time.

Resigned to fate.

"Thank you." Yun Yao said sincerely, "Thank you Uncle Qin."

"No need, Mr. Yun, please wait a moment, I'll go drive." Qin Fang said.

"Yeah." Yun Yao nodded, then stayed there obediently, waiting for Qin Fang to drive over.

Lin Ze had just finished the symposium when he received a message from Bai Ci, saying that Si Heng had purchased a spaceship ticket to Planet Noy, and the time was 12:30 noon today.

"Lin Ze, doesn't your family have a private spaceship? Why are you coming to me to buy a ticket?"

"Besides, there's nothing fun on Planet Noi. You can't go there even if you want to make up for your honeymoon."

"If you really can't find a place for your honeymoon, don't look for it. Just ask Mu Xiu for advice. He's more professional than you."

Of course Lin Ze knew that there was nothing fun about Planet Noi. Planet Noi was an artificial planet and one of the ten major transit planets in the Empire. Not only could one go to any planet in the Empire from here, it was also the largest transit station closest to the Imperial Star.

Thinking back to what Si Heng said before he left, there was no such thing as going to the art exhibition with Yun Yao. Si Heng was just finding a random excuse to go out.

After figuring it all out, Lin Ze felt endless anger along with his disappointment.

Si Heng, you are doing fine!

"Help to stop this spaceship, and I will compensate for all the losses."

Lin Ze glanced at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. It was too late for him to rush over now. He could only ask Bai Ci to help him stop the spaceship.

No matter what, Si Heng cannot be allowed to leave the Imperial Star.

Otherwise, trying to find him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Ze walked out of the conference hall in a hurry. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him and pounced towards him.

Before Lin Ze could react, he was hugged by the other party.

"Aze, I miss you so much." Xia Youyan looked at Lin Ze with tears in his eyes.

Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, then his face turned cold, "Xia Youyan? Why are you here?"

Lin Ze reached out to push Xia Youyan away, but Xia Youyan stuck to him again, "I heard that you have a symposium today, so I waited for you here."

Xia Youyan looked at Lin Ze lovingly and said, "Aze, I heard from Si Heng that you don't like him, but you broke up with me and you can't bring yourself to ask me to get back together, so you found him to provoke me..."

Lin Ze didn't wait for him to finish his words and pushed him away, "You think too much. I don't dislike him, and I'm not with him to provoke you. You're not worth it for me to do this."

Si Heng, you are really awesome!

"However, I'm more curious, when did Si Heng tell you all this?" Si Heng hasn't been very smart these days, and he only accompanies himself when he goes out occasionally. When did he get in touch with Xia Youyan and tell him all this?

Xia Youyan was still immersed in Lin Ze's previous words, "Aze, is this how you view our relationship over the years?"

Lin Ze was in no mood to waste time talking to him. The most important thing now was to catch Si Heng back. Xia Youyan's matter could be dealt with later.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze called the bodyguards and asked them to take Xia Youyan away. He then got into the car driven by his assistant and headed towards the spaceport.

-----

Si Heng sat in the waiting room, looking at the time frequently. It was already 12:20, why hadn't he been notified that he could board the spacecraft?

Si Heng felt panicky. Could it be that Lin Ze discovered him?

That's impossible. I didn't even tell Yun Yao about my specific escape plan. Only Yun Yao knew that I was going to escape today. He didn't know anything else.

It is even more impossible for Lin Ze to know.

Besides, Lin Ze is still attending a symposium, so it is impossible for him to notice that I had escaped. By the time he noticed, I would have already run far away.

Moreover, he had a backup plan and asked Xia Youyan to stop him.
